Race Unity UrgedContinued from page 1thezoning.: ofedl-rottl«8tthette-epre-greater part of God's will, will have! been done, because, there will then be no need for the colored race to create an independent country. They can enjoy the benefit of thte creation, equality with other men—the creation which q was given to humanity in com-OI in on, by tho Creator, no matter under which flag they may live. A woman, as a rule, especially onelike ,our international supervisor,who Is a graduate of two universities, can easily approach prominent persons, without causing ill feelings and above suspicion. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised, If there existed some understanding between her and Mr. Embree, of tho Hosenwald Fund, who recently wrote an article regarding American attitude toward tho colored race. O,, ;’•••• -o\In carrying out our great national enterprises, we always find be- I women above or under tho surface p a of tho movement. For instance, Joan of Arc was a woman. Young as she was, she sacrificed her life for the sake of her country.During the Slamo-Japanese War, which resulted in our winning, it was a woman who led Japan to u most decisive victory.Who aro those two prominent figures supporting Mahatma Gandhi, in his fight for the freedom of India? They are women, too.I beg to say to you, my friends,Japan has already demonstratedhow powerful tho strength of raceunity Is; but even in that, youibleom-act-Menres-ee. A.pub-luderhisforsen.Dr.Fall, must not overlook how much ismJntroithearadded by the women. In these daysLife,If 1.1secretary, drafted the following petition:We, the undersigned, believing In tho principles of the B. T.

Poole, Lester Stafford, G. R. Hall I)r. W. H. Lawson.of near civilization, men alone can hardly succeed In any enterprises, without women’s support. Ix*t me tell you right here, if you discriminate against your women, you have no right to demand racial women you.would destroy weapons women, you woul destroy weapons of flhe organization. This is no time for men to fight against *0* men, but to enlist the aid of an I appeal to you American dark people, to bury the hatchet, forgetting petty jealousies und nar-row-wlttedness. Strive to organize men and women into one solid patriotic union. Your task is big enough and vital enough, to enlist everything you have. Where there is unity, there is strength. Without power, your just hopesand aspirations can not be realized. The conjugation of beauty und power is the only thing that moves the world.
