It seems difficult fur humans
i
tu understand that because a
s
thing is good, it is not necessar- '
ily good at all times, in all places
t, and under ull circumstances. The ^
? luck of appreciation for this fact
?t leads to much misunderstanding '

? but He- m?twt- thereby an author- e
ity in the field of literature. But
" today we have specialists talking
out of their fields with an assume
ed authority that their qualilica ,
lions do not warrant.
, Negroes are especially afflict? -1
ed with this grievous ussump- n
lion. It matters not in what I
field a Negro takes an advanced >
? degree, he assumes the role ol .1

tj question, which?is patently a ii

liverances on various questions^ b
of moment. He projected a peace v
FiToveThehr~at~ ptfe time,"and deli- ;
mm s hirrntFtf variously oil mat
ters of current importance. Hen s
t ry Ford is not a sociologist nor u
? a_ political ^eieiuist; he is a man- y
t ulactuier and is authority only w
in this field. To attribute om- n
niscience to a man because o f tl
his accomplishments in a given c<
held is fallacious. cl
Because democracy works in d
times of peace we assume i t
works in time of war; and i t si
does not. For many months this w
column has deplored the assump- g
