CONGRESS HAS A DUTY

In day or two now Congress
will convene again. Many impor-
tant measures will bid for it's at
tention.
The prestige of President Roose-
welt is due to be tested early in the
coming session and this will have
its important bearing upon the fate
of some of the proposed legislation.
In common with every group
forming the great American public
the Negro people will have an in
terest in and keep watchful eye
upon congressional accomplish
ments.
It will, and unfortunately, have a
great concern in the outcome of
relief measures. But it will have
an even greater interest in final
result of an anti-lynch law which
seeks not only to stop this sport of
illegal murder but to make a breach
in the Jim Grow practices so deeply
embedded in the history of the
south.
At the risk of being a thorn in
the legislative side our people
should stand 100 per cent behind
the passage of such law.
We could easily show many in
stances where the shadow of this
threat against Negro life has
caused him to forego his more vig-
orous opposition to other hurtful
activities of the omnipresent dis
ordinations so characteristic of
the southland and growing in the
north.
Undoubtedly we shall again face
senate stalemate of unlimited de-
bate and our effort should be direct
ed to securing a cloture the failure
of which last session kept the meas
ure from meeting a decisive vote.
Lynchings have done more to en-
barrass the u. S. in its protests
against foreign governments treat
ments of their minorities than any
thing else.
America may close her eyes and
stop up her ears but as long as
there is no enforced Federal law
againt the barbarous custom, what
she says to Germany, Italy and
others will be little needed.
The Congress can save our face
by passage of legislation designed
to stamp out lynching. Otherwise
Hitler will continue to say in effect,
"Clean up your own backyard"

torial reads: -
America is tremendously wrought
up in rage at the mob rule in Ber-
lin, the violence against the Jews.
We Americans are hOlding meet
ings of protest. We are stirring
M international trouble. The
highly proper indignation Of a
civilized people is boiling at the
gross and cruel injustice visited by
the German mObs upon the Jews,
unrestrained by the police, more or
less backed by public sentiment.
Which is all very fine and indi-
Gates a proper emotional balance in
this country. But
When a mob in the South lynches
a Negro, more or less backed by
public sentiment, when a mob pub
licly tOrtures him with an acety-
Iene bIOwpipe before lynching him,
when his body is left hanging, q
burned and bullet-scarred carcass

how is it that American public
sentiment does not rage against
Iynchers in the South as it RACES
against the Nazis in Germany?
Why do we not remove the beams
the notes out of the eyes Of the
from our own eye before we pick
Germans?
So long as America permits mob
injustice to override the lawful
process of the courts, so long as
we permit public torture, what
right have we to rage at the tor
ture chambers, the Brown Houses
and the unspeakable cruelties
which Germany visits upon the
Jews? The Jews are in the minor
ity there. They can be kicked
around. The Negroes are in the
minority here, and IN the South we
kick them around. We jim crow
them as the Nazis jim crow the
Jews. We deny them the full
privileges of our courts, keep them
OF of Our juries, elbow them OF
the sidewalk. We keep them in
their place, take their property
whenever the mob wants It. What
