THE* MAJOR ISSUE III 1033, the Axis in discussing their plans for a campaign against the rest of the world, made this prediction: "We shall create mental confusion .contradiction of feeling, indecisiveness and panic: these are our weapons. Our strategy is to destroy the enemy from within, to conquer him through himself." The Axis realize today that their prophecy was false. Their propaganda and Nazi agents have failed to weaken the pa- triotism of the peoples of the' democratic nations. The distorted accounts of race troubles in this country have not created afnong Negroes the "panic" that he predicted. His doctrine of anti-Semitism, preached by quislings along the Atlantic seaboard has failed to create "mental confusion" among the Jews. This propaganda has failed. The Axis have failed. But the Axis have succeeded in sowing seeds that will bear fruit for anti-democratic movements, when this war is over, if something isn't done to destroy the germ before the peace is signed . . . seeds of racial hatred and discrimination. This doctrine has had its effect among Japan's subjugated peo, pies whom their leaders are trying to convince that they have I a common cause against the white race. It? Is having its ef. feet in Yugoslavia where racial, religious and political conflicts have prevented a united front between Partisans and Chetnlks in the battle against the Nazis. It is having its effect in India, in the Philippines, and in South America. The United States has not . escaped either. Threatening clouds of racial and religious prejudice still hover over us and unless we face the issue . squarely before the storm THE FH1 strikes, many ot the sacrifices we are making in this war will have been in vain. We need not fool ourselves. There can be no lasting peace so long as racial hatred smoulders within our borders. Voice of the People A. and T. College Creensboro, N. C. August 1, 1944. Mr. J.

LIFE DEMANDS DISCIPLE LIFE MEANS DISCIPLE. 1. We are not made good by a pleasant gesture, and we are not made wicked by a single act. 2. We need to pick out helpful instruction that will lift us and empower us. Life is very much a matter of raising ourselves up to higher levels and not bringing all these things down to our level. 3. Real life demands consecration. It is not being able to master things but rather being caught by something strong enough and adequate enough to lift us above the circumstance that baffles us. Awareness of the trtfth and righteousness determines the way we go. A man whose heart desires to serve God will discover many avenues to God and at the same time will find many opportunities that reveal the merit of creative living with God. Instruction is given for our good. It Is not idle advice. From experience a person discovers mat arunicenness does not make for health, sound thinking, or happy living. The advertisements we read to t h e contrary, we cannot find satisfaction or peace or contentment in self-indulgence.

After the game, I said to another friend, "1 always wonder how lie does such a swell job of pitching." My pitcher was the son of a Chris- j tian man and told us that he had always had a deep respect I for Ills father. "My father gave me a few simple rules. I de.

I have found that when a man is at his best, lie can do the impossible." No person ought to live in these days without trying at all odds to live up to his best.

Advice to be temperate in all we do cuts right across our activity at all times. We are temperate in some things ,to be sure, but not in all things. What about our thinking, talking, eating, drinking, spending, working? There are two levels of existence. One is high, the other low; one npble, the other base; one spiritual, the other material.

KOOSIIVKLT SKKS TUUKAT IX RACE l'KOULKM W orl d attention has been drawn to America's race problem ,and the manner in which this country handles this ques. lion will have international effect, said Mrs. Franklin D. Itoosevelt, in a seminar of the Southern Methodist Assembly, held at Lake Junaluska, N. C., jlast week. Speaking on race relations as they affect the peace of t h e world, Mrs. Roosevelt said: "Most of us who would like to see in the everyday lives of the people of the world the spirit of right living, have been troubled because our actions don't square with ideas we have." She asserted that the problem of the colored people in this country is not alone a problem of the south, but is national, and is going to be an international problem. She declared, "T h e thing that makes it important internationally is the way America is being watched by the other countries, to see how we cope with our minority group problems ? to see if we cope with our problems any better than they do with theirs. . "We face today, because of the war, a more difficult situation at home and this will also be faced abroad. As 'to our relations with other races: This doesn't mean just the colored SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1944 iZE TflE --^wnan, race. It's going to bo just as difficult with the AmericanJapanese whose families have had to live in internment. When the war is over, if we as christians don't grow out of t h e sririt of war and bitterness and help them to grow out of it. we will he side-stepping our responsibility." ARKANSAS NKOItO 4-H CI.UIiKKItS filtOW FOOD KOIt OWN SOl.DIKItS Negro 4-11 youths of Arkansas, ' like the 4-Il'ers in most other stall's, are not taking any chance on other folks growing enough food for Arkansas' 01 Joe. No, no, they are making sure liy growing it themselves In most of the counties a survey lias been made to determine the number of men from i the county who urn in the iirnioil forces. Anil now tlie 4-H clulibors live setting about to grow enough fooil to feed those men. You see, the average fighting man eats about 2,100 pounds of food a year, not Including 30 dozen eggs. So, 4-H club youngsters are keeping pretty busy growing the tons of food Hint are needed. For example, Negro County Agent C. D. McKlndrn, of Jefferson county, Arkansas (Pine Bluff, county sent) reports that members of 33 clubs In ills county, with a total of 1,410 members, plan to produce enough fond tills year for the 025 fighting men from the county who are in the armed forces. ' The Jefferson county 4-1-1 boys and girls have pledged to produce 4.3,800 quarts of canned foods, 21,251 pounds of fresh poultry, (15,705 pounds of pork, 4S,!)(il pounds of beef, 70,275 pounds of sweet potatoes, 5.8,801 pounds of Irish potatoes, 37,783 pounds of peanuts, 20,210 pounds of soybeans, 73,002 callous of milk, 70,714 pounds of fresh vegetables, and 20,825 dozen eggs. In addition, these youngsters will produce 14,558 acres of cotton, and do various fariu chores to help relieve the farm labor shortage.
