For example, one has only to | call attention to the recent riot in Pitts- | burgh, Pa., where two men were shot and | ing between races.’ Press accounts tell of “smoldering ill- feelings” which broke out im sporadic street fights between White and Negro youths. At one time, several thousand persons were lined up on two streets, the Whites on one side and the Negroes on the and Negro youths roamed the streets, which were the scenes of many clashes. Serious tro!

The Pittsburgh race’ ridt «received very little attention in the nation’s news- papers. Candor compels the admission that if the affair had occurred in the South, it would have been headlined from coast to coast. In Pennsylvania, it should be crimination between the races in public places. Apparently, the law does not pre- vent situations that engender ill-feeling between the races. The Pittsburgh riot is not the only re- cent example of race trouble. In two Southern states, a few weeks ago, Negroes have been lynched. There is no excuse for such a crime. Public sentiment in this country, including the South, condemns in the main, is the only force that will put an end | to such barbarism. Racial antipathies are a problem throughout the world. The situation that . creates ill-feeling and engenders strife are conditions which must be met by the peo- | ple in the areas affected. They can rarely be helped by legislative fiat or the of- ficious meddling of those who reside other places.
