These efforts in better race relations might require some explanation at this point. The term "Race Relations" is often used loosely to indicate any one of many different things: social contact of different racial groups, job integration, or community worship without discrimination. I feel, however, that "Race Relations" should have its meaning more deeply rooted in the basic problems of society. 

What is the meaning of "Race Relations?" It means that all people should live together without violence, without despotism, without riot or tyranny. It means that all members of a community or of a nation should be represented equally in the making of its laws, in their execution, and in their judicial interoperation. 

Better race relations means neighbors, nations, and races should develop respect for customs that are different, and acquire understanding of physical and emotional responses that are not the same. Traditions of the past should be cherished, and histories of all people should be screened so that the best of all civilizations should become the heritage and guide-post of all men. 

Better race relations means that through broader knowledge of each other, and the acceptance of the principle of government of the common good, a wider and more peaceful life will be assured the masses of men. 

The Institute on Race relations believes that intolerance and legal slavery -- whatever its guise -- should be publicized fully in order to awaken a complacent public to the dangers of physical and social disintegration when the masses of people do not share alike in opportunities and goods of the world.

It does not matter, it seems to me, that the Ten Commandments were written on the tablets of stone by the Jew, Moses, or that the Son of Man who gave us the grate New Commandment was a carpenter who was sired and bred in a humble home, nor should it matter that an illiterate girl, Joan of Arc, should inspire a prostrate France to reach a place of honor among nations that has lasted more than a thousand years; or that the Declaration of Independence was conceived in the mind of an American revolutionary colonist. When these documents are read or these deeds glorified, the race or creed or sex or economic status does not matter. 

During the World War II, there was much talk for the four freedoms, - that is, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, the freedom of want, and the freedom from fear. But there is a fifth freedom which is needed -- more in America because of general non-conformity of practice with American creed. This is the freedom form discrimination or segregation. And, I might add to this, the freedom to marry whomever you please, regardless of race or religion. We are all from one blood. 

The presence of second-class citizenship in America means that the battle for full democracy is still being wages and, as long as any one individual, regardless of race or color or creed is denied adequate education, employment, recreation, civil rights and equal opportunity, the whole country is affected and no other American is really free. 

Although we are facing a contemporary world in chaos and watching a seeming breakdown of society that still practices tyranny and intolerance, there
