I go I see evidences of the growth " of this tendency. When I point it ? "Hit, I am answered with the ques- . tion "Well, you believe in (naming J1 their own group) getting their \ rights, don't you?" I do?but I c believe in something much more a . than that! L' I believe in all people every-' where in the world getting their right?, improving their " standards of living, and availing themselves ot new and wider oportunities for u - advancement. I do not believe the .C way to accomplish this, is by lev- o eling off. I believe in leveling up. c But group thinking tends to level off. u Whatever the group, whatever t .the circumstances, group demands P for" special privileges are disruptive. Dwight L. Moody used to v tell a story which illustrated this a point. A small boy caught his ' hand in a valuable vase and it h looked as though the vase would have to be broken in order to free S him. Th? real trouble was he ' "wag clutching at a miserable penny he had ^dropped in the vase and Ke" couldn't get- his^ clenched u fist out. - c Too many groups are clutching t at pennies today. They are seek- n ing things for themselves, regard t less of what they may endanger o for that larger group of?which- -t ?- they are a part. They want thihgs f for themselves and in their own is way. They do not see ahead and o recognize that to seek prosperi- a ' ty and freedom for all, is the only e way to -achieve prosperity and t< freedom for any. Freedom is uni . , vcrsai. wniy license is privileged. ^ _?i?There was a straw- olfice that w broke a camel's back, and if we're n , ttQt C*r<?ful, some thpughtless, sel- JT fish group is going to undo much of the good that has been done by conscientious, puhlic spirited H individuals, working throughout K,i the years to put Into practice the Kb' ideals of democracy. .

If we would once look 1 jr p at a problem from the other fel- ^ of . low's side?we would start our j 8( jib thinking from the points we have | in common, not from our differ- g awces, and w? would think a s IQ. friendly individuals, not as opposgroups. .. _ M / n< |ys r LEST WE FORGET C By F.

The real fact is a southerner u ' of southerners has at last awakened to the more humane realization [ that even segregation is not necesr-ary and inevitable to maintain ra- . jcial integrity against which no dis- a renting voice has been raised by J*r intelligent Negroes, if Negroes luive had a quarrel, it has not been . >v<r the issue of race integrity but over the graver issue of main- j p taining white race integrity at th. ^ ,Ai.i'ii;>u ui the Negro. 1 -As Kditor Dubney sees today . therr." will ste torn >rrow. The lea- : .on of human brotherhood and de- aIj mocracy is working. When the, av white soutii wakes up to find that | -ogregation i*s in. the way of its fje progress, it is making no conces- ~n ion when it advocates the repeal j^j of segregation laws; instead it raises itself upon a pedestal of ; power ami possibilities-it has never ..own oefore! r\V , f.

All good be- fo lavior of-Negroes anywhere and Ih everywhere is going to help mat- tj -ers. Ail bad behavior anywher | \V md eveiywhere is going to hind.ei sa matters. The strongest arguments le i.iiat these progressive southerners .an employ are found in the gener- "it ?u-sj?i'vproved._manncrs?intcir.-. r?l gent Negroes. The most powerful gumeius ' eaetiolKii y suites the south will use are those of the M unsavory behavior of Negroes. j It is not going to help the Ne- 1 cut =(> tc argue that there are ' . whites who show bad behavior. The Negro is Tunning behind and st for him to run at the White man's ps speed is for him to remain forever oi nehind in the race for survival.

Even a. hite criminal has a hundred ad- te /antages over a Negro philanthro- gj ist. So let Negroes not lay to>~ ai great emphasis on the behavior of r( che bad element of whites. \Vhat we need through bote is i general attack on the problem or \egro public behavior. There are *ome things that only a general n.piovement in the Nero's social and economic status will accomplish then there are others that nothing but sheer determination 011 the part of the Negro can accomplish.
