Surely we shall gain nothing by blink mg th facts, by refusing to give thought to them. That is not, th Amer ienn way of approaching such issues. Mr. I.iiK.ird, in Ins recent essay, after survi ving the world's problem of races concludes thus: Here, then is the true conception of the inter relation of color complete uniformity in ideals, absolute equality in the paths of knowledge and culture equal opportunity for those who strive. f ilial ndiniiation for those who achieve matters Socml and racial a separate path, each pursuing Ins own inherited traditions, preserving his own .ace purity and racs pride, equnlitv in thitigs spiritual: agreed divergence in lie physical and material.

When I snirgest the pes sibility of economic equality betwsen the races I mean it in precisely the same way and to the same eitent that I would mean it if I spoke of cruality of economic opportunity as between mem bers of the same race.
