The urgent need now for preparing an active post-war peace program in which “race, religion and color are equal” was emphasized yesterday by James Marshall, president of the Board of Education, in a talk to 2,000 members of the Jewish Teachers Association at the Association’s fifteenth annual luncheon at the Hotel Astor.
Mr. Marshall expressed hope and confidence that something “more concrete” than the Atlantic Charter will develop. “This is no battle for the hegemony of the English-speaking world, nor is it a war versus the ‘yellow peril,'” he declared. “Awake, arise, prepare for peace in which race, religion and color are equal. Let this awakening occur before ‘peace’ descends upon us as another Pearl Harbor.”
