rights. For the Fourteenth Amend
ment, which is now the bulwark
Of corporate privilege, was origin
ally passed to protect the rights
Of the freed slaves and is ample
base for anti-lynching legislation.
In the debate on the Wagner
Costigan bill IN the Senate last
May Senator Borah opposed anti
Iynching Legislation, as he oppos-
ed NRA and AAA, as an interior
ence with the rights Of the States
and as a dangerous trend toward
centralized government.
But Senator Borah seemed to ig-
more the fact that the Fourteenth
Amendment, by giving the Federal
Government power to veto acts Of
States in violation of fundamental
rights. had fundamentally chang
ed the relations between Federal
and State governments.
Congress, under the Fourteenth
Amendment, is given power to
enforce by appropriate Legislation"
the guarantee: NOR shall any
State deprive any person of life.
liberty, or property, without lue
process Of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the laws"
If this means anything at ALL it
means that Congress can punish
as in the Wagner-Costigan bill
any State officer who fails to pre-
vent lynching. It also means
that Congress need not wait until
man is hanging from a tree. Fee
deral marshals can be empowered
to protect against lynch mob
where State officers fail to do so.
Federal officials might also, If
they wanted to, use the civil rights
act of 1870 to punish lynchers. It
is true that the same courts which
found it easy to enlarge due pro-
cess on behalf of property have
virtually emasculated due process
in regard to the rights of persons.
But it i'll becomes such a liberal
as Senator Borah to concur in that
procedure.
