Saturday, October 9, 1943 MAJORITY OR MINORITY R? ?By Ruth Taylor m- ~~ I wish it were possihle to eradicate those two words from the English language ? but unfortunately, if one could do this, other Bp words would be thought up to rxprcss the same idea. There should reaHy be no place for such discriminatory words in a democracy. And, mind ycu, they are discriminatory, and of them selves creating bad feeling and .-..prejudice,,.: ,'7'- ' Majorities feel that their very numbers entitle them tcveuprenjr power and their interests as a group must come first. Minorities tpo often place the privilege of Iheir group before the rights of all citizens. In both cases far too frequently those rise to the top, to positions of power, who seek personal aggrandizement and who by their actions hurt the group f which they claim to represent i b :?' 1 ? Aim mujuriiy IOOKS UPOT1 ' tnt W mmority as not quite as tliey art IL. as something dilferent from their herd?and tncy don't like that. Minorities for their part too often have a chip on their shoulder. When handed together for "self R- protection ' they become a power It- . - tul pressure force whirh is often irritating to the majority. And -gl " much too-frequently?both sides' forget that they are Americans, governed by the same laws, and subject to the same responsibility. " This is tree whether the difference be of political party, class, religion or color ? and in rar' , each of those groups there are > minorities and majorities. Summer Welles c^led the 3fc. . term "racial-or religious minority " accursed. And he was right, though he could have added class to the list. It is the whole idea of t ? Mvrecation ?ml 1_ people into groups, treating th'.'m generally not individually, thai we are fighting today. In the hrave new world which we "hope will come after this war, let us guard agairnst group_ thinking Let" us remember that we are all I i itizens of a nation, and citizens of a world of United Nations. Foi as Mr. Welles also said, "It is inconceivagle that the people of the United NationR can consent to the re-establishment of any system where human beings will stUl he regarded as belonging to such minorities." Let us ? majority and minority work together as individualsregardless of the group from which we come. Let us accept our personal reponsibilitres and fulfil them before we Start fighting about our rights. Let us prove u/httf u/o ara f Ar?nf fr ?r>iifb/.tb/N-. we be minority or majority.

Now I must confess that I had a very bad opinion about the religious &:tivities around military camps. To me most military men had very little time for religion and, rthat the job of the chaplins. was not to mu*fc to be excited about, but when I talked with thi? soldier I changed my mind and I am passing this on to my readers. This solider said that in the.mili | tarv camp where he took his basic | or any one to look after their sniri- I 1 tu%l interest; It was not that they | 'ltd not have any spiritual interest i but it was just that no minster was | available tr> hold church or-servires. Many Sumlaysthis soldier said that they would get .together and have humbly School and a little prayer meeting, amoung themselves. Every time they asked for a Negro minister thejf said that the answer was always the same, there was not enough Negro, minsters to be | assigned to all the country. The saddest sight they sai^ t' at he saw was a battalbon of trained l/oys being shipped overseas without any spiritual advisor. This young man told me that the present day soldiers a"e nothing hut home boys in uniforms and that people judge the rough and rowdy men-in?trmform~tirat_thcy see In the streets and around the houses jf Til repute. There are?many sol"i iers who you never see who are longing for that spiritual touch Ihey had when they were home, and not enough ministers have enlisted to take care of that need. I know of many nhle.hodied ministers who are single and have no churches and no work of any kind but who are hiding behind the 4D. I think it is unpatriotic. The soldier told me that they forget a-1 bout denominations* in the service, they would welcome any minister. I think the protestant denominations are missing a big chance to promote religious welfare among their members. The soldier had a good word for the Catholic Priest. I am afraid that we are going to< lose a lot of our members after this conflict.

One of history's sorriest spec- 1 ta'les has been perpetrated before ' the world by certain Roosevelt- ! heckling politicians, who are more ] betit on political advantage than ( on winning this terrible war. | They would gamble politically with the precious lives of our val- ] ' iant youth as stakes. In the face , of a national emergency of titan i ' ic proportions some of these ward ( politicians have managed to 'es- j cape" into the congress , of the : ble thing is being done to Ombar- j t rass our grcat_President, without t whose mighty wisdom and vision, ' i our great country would be sitting ( at the mercy seat of the axis na- i i tions pleading in humiliation for I its life. t With political hecklers and hi- I > jackers hanging upon his neck like | i so many millstones, Roosevelt has I * proven himself the towering gen- | l ius of this generation; and thru . 1 sheer devotion?hri his?countryV * u- u n,? I < possible. In the meantime these | i obsti uctionists have disported (1 themselves not as statesmen and i patriots, but as patrons of the cor in rei. Adolph Hitler, the handwrit ir.g of, whose doom can be read irom the four corners of the e a r t h. Almost apologetically | President Roosevelt has had to . ..vow comradeship with gallant , i'ussia who held the dyes of destruction until we could make , ready to?take-our stand, not with- ( promises and words alone, hut H with-nue?of the-mightiest armies ever assembled by any nation, at ;.ny time, for any cause. These Russo-Phobes would de iroy the nation in order to keep alive a prejudice agaipst Russia that was founded- on?lies and ig- . norance. Alti|r a protracted but welcome silence, Wheeler again i "bobs up" whth his obstruction-vsm?to question?the?prerogatives-of our commanding officers, who are calling for manpower Jtor our far-flung battle fronts. Russiaphobia is threatening__to destroy democracy,?These Russo f hoboa have closed their eyes to one of the mightiest miracles of the 20th century and of history that is the rise" of Russia to "a place of commanding international impori tante. . , The democratic nations will be under obligations to Russia thru many centuries for making their very survival possible. I write not as a Riisso-Phile but as- one. deeply appreciative of the gallant fight Russia hfis made for the life of our beloved land. We had long since hoped that Wheelerism in this country was dead and buried beyond hones of a resurrection. but alas! A DISTRESSING POSSIBILITY If these Russo- Phobos by their subtle?maneuvers can alienate Russia, it is qfiite conceivable that the relations between Russia and the other united nations may be ruptured beyond repair. The attempts at this late day to "patch* -np" relations with Russia may _ contain the only hopes of a rea- i . sonably immediate victory with*' out which the fearful destruction of life, at present reaching tre-| meinious proportions, may he in- ' ,'ef.nitely prolonged. What i s more, it would be tragic if the Russo-Phobes get in their work ' after such -manner?that^ Russianwill push the Germans back to the bolder and then turn the war over 1 to England and America! We can not at this time imagine a more . stressing possibility; but this ..us. o-Ph'ibia must be curbed i f we i-re to a. en some unhappy developments. Obstructionism is a form of Rus so-Phobia whether we admit it or not. Those elements who are clamoring for accord with Russia are rendering mankind a great t/. \i:~ u....- - t * lime . to .prepare _Tor the .bloody .. eventualities which lie ahead. If iciis: ia reaches her western borders and takes her own good time about pressing on to Berlin, we hail be left with a terrible war oh oar hands.
