Editor Says Japan Not Friend of Negroes

New York, N.Y. -- Japan is interested in Japan and "has no particular love or interest in the darker peoples of the earth," according to Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, president of Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga., in an article in The Crisis magazine for May.

Writing under the title, "The Negro and the Present War," Dr. May states:

"A few years ago it was my privilege to travel around the world. I talked with a good many Japanese not only on that trip but here in America in college and university. One fact became clear to me. Japan has no particular love or interest in the darker peoples of the earth. Japan is for Japan."
