vile form of collective murder"
Circuit Judge j.. ", Gatty of st.
Joseph, Mo-, spoke truly when he
told a grand jury recently that ev-
cry member of the mob that lynch
ed a young negro in that city was
guilty of murder and that mob vio-
lence must be punished if the COM
munity is to be safe from it.
A case study of lynching supports
his further declaration that when
you find the real leaders of that
mob you will find men of not much
higher moral standards than the
man they murdered The ranch
boy who boasted of having brought
the Holmes -Thurmond mob togeth-
er in San Jose. Calf, said he re-
cruited most of the gang in speak.
cas- es-"that was why so many
were drunk
But how to deal with such bar
barism involves choice of method
in which the best course may not
be so obvs GUS. Regardless of the
outcry afterward. the cases which
give rise to lynchings are usually
up to that stage--local in their sig
nificance and in the attention they
receive The first line of defense,
therefore, is local adm .nistration of
justice. The next is the respons!-
bility of the states of which our
counties are part and on whose
law they depend
Examination shows that the
greater proportion of lynchings oc-
ours in sparsely settled regions that
are socially and economically back
ward and those that have problems
of racial competition. The southern
commission on the study of lynch
ing, in a recent report on slayings
near Tuscaloosa, Ala, points to the
absence of "any semblance of equal
ity in public education, public
health, wages and police protec-
tion," to streets filled with loiterers
from idle coal mines and abandoned
farms
Such root causes as these are not
to be removed by waving a federal
wand. They require local initiative
as we'll as whatever outside help
can be understandingly given. The
national association for the adj
vancement of colored people makes
an impressive brief for the CON
tention that only in federal courts
is there practical hope of redress
for such cases But the experience
of the international labor defense
at Tuscaloosa and elsewhere shows
how intervention from outside
sometimes hastens violence and
throws local sympathy to the side
Of the lynchers.
Senators Costigan and Wagner
assert for their bill that it will not
deprive states of a single oppor-
tunty to preserve constitutional
rights, and will operate only where
state action has failed. But its de-
tails and its probable effect should
be studied carefully to see that il
does not in any way weaken thf
sense of local responsibility for or
der and justice. Such work as the
commission on interracial coopera-
tion has carried on in the south is
too valuable to be sacrificed. II a
federal antilynching law can be
made to supplement state RESPONSE
bility without weakening it, then
this legislation should be enacted
