WHAT
OTHER EDITORS ARE
SAYING
HOSPITAL BEING
ENLARGED
It is encouraging to know
that the coloi'ed depart
ment of the Rutherford hos
pital is being enlarged in
order to take care of the
large number of patients
that come there for treat
ment. This is as it should
be. We have maintained
from the start when some
of our people wanted to
build a complete colored
hospital without first even
counting the co.st that the
best thing to do was to en
large the present building
that we already use at the
hospital.
Along with this enlarge
ment program will of
course mean new equipment
and we hope better service
for our patients there. We
are also convinced that ne
gro nurses serving in the
colored, wing will go a long
way toward removing some
of the suffering and incon
veniences that .so many of
our people find there. A
very prominent and out
standing man told me a few
days ago that he suffered
a great deal because he
needed the aid of a nurse
between times when they
came to see them. Others
have stated the same thing.
Negro nurses staying in the
same building with them,
and there to serve them at
all hours will remove much
of this suffering and untold
pain.
SCHOOL BOY’S ESSAY
1 don’t know how newspapers
got into the world, and I don’t
think God doe.s, for He. never
mentioned them in the Bible.
Maybe the editor was one of the
Fallen Angels, for he seems to
fall for about everything people
tell him. If the editor makes a
mi-stake folks say he ought to
be hung; if a lawyer makes a
mistake he appeals his case;
when a doctor makes a mistake
they say nothing ’cause they
don’t know Latin, and they could
not reod his writing if they did.
An editor makes a mistake, then
there’s lots of hollering, cussing
and a libel suit, while when the
doctor makes one there’s a fune
ral, with flowers and crying. A
doctor can use a word a mile
long, and it won’t make any dif
ference if he knows what it
means, for folks will think he^s
educated, while an editor has to
be able to spell any word he uses.
If a doctor goes to see another
man’s wife he charges for the
visit, if the editor goes, he gets
shot. People that call the doctor
and get well think he’s a great
man. If they don’t get well
tney’re dead and can’t say any-
tning. Two-thirds of the folks in
town are sore at the editor all
the time, either because the pa
per said something about them
they don’t like or said some
thing nice about somebody else.

WAS GREAT HELP
All of u.s mu.st admit that
O. r. A. was a life saver
especiall.v for the poor peo
ple during the wai', and
.since the war closed also.
The average person would
have had a hard time find
ing the neces.sary things
to maintain health and
comfort during the war
because the wealthy people
would have bought all of
the scarce items up before
the poor* penple had a
chance at anything, how
ever O. P. A. protected us.
Of cour.se those officials
have made many mistakes,
all human agencies do that,
however it has also been a
.God send to, and for poor
people.
What 1 am trying to say
is, in the closing days of
this once powerful govern
ment agency, when meat
and lard especially became
very scarce people by the
thousands became even bit
ter, forgetting the fine
w(jrk that this agency once
did. Anything can outlive
its tfsefulness and I think
the O^P. A. is no exception,
howevei’ W'e should give it
praise for the fine work
that it A.id for us all during
and since'',the war.

WASHINGTON
★ * NEWS LETTER ★
THE NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS
PAUL MALLON
Washington —- The headlines
speak of peace as if it were
around .some corner somewhere,
and might be discovered if we
could find a way to it—although
actually in distance, it is far off,
vaguely unplaced, and is not yet
discernible. The technique of
the situation is this: The five
peace treaties, still ,in dispute, are
not on the agenda of the 52 na
tions meeting in assembly for
their first real opening session
Wednesday. This meeting is con
cerned with some admission-s, a
site, and routine organisational
problems. What the session real
ly means is that 31 more small
nations, mostly those of Latin
America (not in the war) are
coming into the peace picture.
Now Mr. Byrnes, the state sec
retary, once said he would take
his stalemated problem on the
unfinished treaties to this whole
world assembly of nations, if
stalemate persists. Frankly he
expects it to persist. His speech
upon his return from the 21 na
tions in Paris (the nations in the
war) was detected by close
watchers to be somewhat pessi
mistic.
Mr. Byrnes came back from the
arduous session in Paris, looking
chipper, younger in fact than
when he left. But his speech was
not chipper. He rather indicated
between the lines he expected
Russia would veto the idea of a
free trading Danube, for in
stance—and how could he then
go ahead and make a separate
peace with Russia-dominated Ru
mania, for a free Danube, when
Russia would make a treaty with
Rumania for a closed Danube.
This veto he expected to be
lodged at the coming New York
session of the Big Four council
of ministers, because Molotov did
not listen to his radio speech, but
sent underlings to hear the radio,
and stood his ground presented
at Paris. Mr. Byrnes had some
hope Russia would realize the
world did not like her way, and
would change her position—^but
not much.
Even if she did, peace is yet
far distant. The treaties would
have to be ratified by our senate,
after debate, and any moderation
of principle -would be interminaa-
bly resisted. If Russia gave in, the
treati.es would hang fire perhaps
a year. As matters stand, peace
rests only with the “attitude” of
Russia, and an attitude is an in
tangible factor. So peace actually
is not around the next corner, or
any corner yet in sight.
Some flurries of apprehension
were noticed in certain naval
quarters simultaneously with the
Byrnes speech, and with the Rus
sian move upon the Dardanelles
(to say nothing of the unreason
able attitude of Tito.) At least
one naval authority has been sus
pecting a break might occur in
the military (not diplomatic) sit
uation at any time. Yet the con
tinuing ti’uth is Russia is in no
condition for military action and
would not be able to sustain more
than a limited military campaign
for a brief period. Military action
is not expected.
The only new development toss
ed into assembly meeting, before
it started, was the program laid
do-ft-n for foreign policy by the
federal council of churches. No
official here rushed to comment
upon it. The attitude of the
Byrnes people around the state
I department has been that noth
ing should be said of a religious
nature just now, certainly not in
volving any clerical hopes, as the
recent movement for Christian
solidarity has shown firm sub
stance behind the Byrnes policy.
Particularly few -wished to ques-

tion this new church advice, in
asmuch as it set down the level
headed realities of the basic con
dition, namely: “Maxist com
munism in its orthodox philosophy
stands clearly opposed' to Chris
tianity. It is atheistic in its con
ception of ultimate reality and
materialistic in its view of man
and his destiny”—and the state
ment defended the necessity of
maintaining man’s “individual hu
man personality.” These -words
stood as a bulwark to the Byrnes
policy.
Later on the program raised
some question about our own free
enterprise system and how long it
will continue — recommending
elimination of international in^
tolerance, our own prejudices
and practises which lead to ten
sion, cooperation -with Russian
culturally, religiously and eco
nomically, and building up democ
racy. As these words -seemed ap
plicable almost entirely to Rus
sia, in view of the vetoed peace
condition and vague hopes, the
part intended for us fell upon
more or less otherwise busy ears
here. You could hear comment
that the first part of the state
ment seemed wisely written by
someone like John Foster Dulles,
who knows affairs while the lat
ter part must have been com
posed by someone with more crit
ical, unencouraged hope than the
situation warrants.
Thus hope for relaxing ten
sions was largely assigned to
Russia. The early advice that
“tensions are unavoidable” was
more in keeping with the official
mind, as well as the suggestions
of all three statements (Byrnes,
Church Council and Vandenberg)
that these tensions will continue
a long time and we should get
accustomed to them, as an adopt
ed, although not wanted, state of
international life. This was the
true state of affairs.
The overwhelming viewpoint
here was that Russia is brazenly
bluffing diplomatically, that if
one-tenth of her bluff is called
in a firm and friendly way, she
must yield to the common neces
sity for human existence in an
atomic era.

It may be unfortunate that
some church organizations set
apart and supported by Negroes
have names that seem to bespeak
race segregation, but despite this,
there is perhaps no recognized
church anywhere among us that
would think of refusing mem
bership to a man or woman of
any race.
Dr. Reis^ig of Washington
Church Federation is quoted as
saying, that he does not believe
that Negroes want to attend and
