Graft In Veterans Bureau

10 the DAILY WORKER:
The United States veterans bureau
officials recently presented their chief
director Hines, with an engraved re.
solution stating that he gave Justice
and fairness to all and set a high
standard of efficiency.
What a mockery! What hypocrisyl
The words of Hines buffers are
ioneyed poison.
Inefficiency, graft, and indifference
are still rampant in the United States
veterans bureau. Thousands Of dis
able ex-soldiers are being mistreated
in the hospitals and vocational train
ing school, and still more disabled ex-
soldiers were declared "rehabilitated"
and driven out to face unemployment
and starvation.

The Negro.

To the DAILY WORKER:-I slav-
cry days the Negro was declared in
tellectually inferior and weak morally
as an excuse for slavery, and the
supreme court in the bred Scott deci-
sion stated that "The Negro has no
rights that the white man is bound
to respect"
siiIn' the ciyil@war, when. the whites
were away in the army, the Negro
was trusted, depended upon, and
proved faithful to the trust in taking
care Of the white families and their
estates.
After the war the Negroes were the
real industrial reconstructors of the
South, except in some cases of white
carpet-bag control.
Then the Negro was lied against to
justify his Acknowledgement, and his
oppression by the white master class.
And still is lied against by the ku
kluz khan as an excuse for its own
existence, and for the purpose Of keep
ing alive racial prejudices to prevent
a unite front of white and Negro
workers against the capitalist mast
ers.
In effect the khan affirms that 200
years Of the white brand Of southern
culture has failed to humanize the
Negro. But if so, then it is time to
try Black culture on the white mans
brutality.
So long as the Negro was personal
property he had place in the mast
er's affections just as any other high
priced commodity. When he ceased to
be slave-property, he was made
slave at his own self-support, and Of
ten in conditions that forced him to
appropriate unobseryed some of the
products Of his own toll.
For so years the whole South has
been in revolt against that feature
of the constitution which made the
Negro citizen with citizenship rights.
and both the republican and demo-
cratic parties in the North have ac-
guessed in the revolt. 1t is time the
Negroes in the North had revolted
against that condition by joining for
ces with the Communists in a united
front of all workers, Negro and white.

italist system which is the basis, and
always has been the basis, of racial
determinations in this country.
