...Place of Slaughter. There were other demonstrations last week that hardly befitted a newly independent nation. At the industrial capital of Bulawayo (which means "Place of Slaughter" in the Sindebele language), a policeman shot and killed an African member of a mob stoning a bus. Soon the entire African community, usually docile, was up in arms. Half the city's labor force walked out in protest. Factories, shops and restaurants closed. Street sweepers laid down their brooms.

Along with the Brethren movement and the Mennonites, the Friends have been the most ardent spokesmen...
...aggravated most of them." As Niebuhr saw it, Ford's boast of a $5-a-day wage was nothing but a sham, since most of his workers were employed only sporadically and had no insurance against unemployment, illness and old age. In the same pragmatic way, the slaughter of World War I made him turn with cold fury against the kind of Protestantism that believed in progress and the natural perfectibility of mankind, and talked about "great ideals and principles without any clue to their relation to the controversial issues of the day." Briefly, he embraced pacifism...
