THE SECOND PETITION

1t has been called attention the petition
Gently filed by citizens of the East Madison District opposing
the issuance of dance cence to the Mard Gras Tavern
filed by white citizens of the community and that coored
people signed it. 1t has also been called to attention that
had this newspaper opposed the license ISSUE efforts to
open pavilion in the community would probably have been
successful The latter is atterng but in it
find Even without the oppos
ton of the Northwest Enterprise the dance hall issue would
still have been defeated for the opposition petition would
have been filed by the individuals and organizations
We regret that opposition to efforts force upon de-
cent community dance pavilion adjacent to beer tavern
should from white citizens of that community predo
minanty populated by Negroes.
The filing of petition by white citizens and the lack of
interest the part of Negroes who would bear the bnt
of any ill effects the pavilion would have the community
places the Negro in bad light Nothing has forcefuly
revealed the indifference of Negro leadership the
cessity for white initiative attack against movement
that should have been fought from the very beginning by
every Negro in the community
Since attacked the idea of passing special ordinance
to grant dance permit to the Mard ras have been call
ed od fashioned editors who would have been behind the
times in the horse and buggy days. We objected to

prefer to remain relics of the orse and buggy days

lying mentality which seeks con-
tinually to dominate other people
by force, etc" England can well
speak with authority on this sub
ject, for in the building of her
great empire she set a precedent
for aggression and persecution
that is unequalled, even by Hitler.
England, for years boastful of her
democratic ideals, has held in SUBJ
jugation her colonial peoples that
are found in all corners of the old
world. In achieving her imperail-
istic aims, she stole the wealth of
East Africa, enslaved her primi-
time African subjects, denied the
right of self rule to the British
West Indies and India and COM
mitted many other crimes too nu-
merous to mention. So strong has
been her oppression of her Indian
subjects that Mahatma Ghandi has
more than once threatened to des-
troy himself unless England show
ed more respect for the people of
India. Today, Ghandi is demanding
the right of self rule as price for
midas participation in the cur
rent war; but in spite of England's
professed democratic ideals, she is
adamant in her refusal to meet
Ghandi's terms. England has new
er granted freedom to any of her
colonials, and this is an histori-
cal fact that explains her peace
aims far better than any talk
Chamberlain will ever make.
AS we said before, we will prob
ably be called pro-Nazis because
we expressed our honest opinion.
We would enjoy seeing Mr.. (sic)
Hitler annihilated along with his
ratzis friends. Many students of
international affairs contend that
defeat of Nazism is impossible
without an alliance between Great
Britain and America; an alliance
between two nations indicates that
each condones the policy of the
other. We are American, and so
decidedly American that we can
see no similarity in England's
democratic ideals and the Ameri-
can ideals. They are as different
as Nazism and Americanism.
No matter who wins the war,
democracy will have advanced
only to a negligible degree, for
Chamberlain and Hitler speak the
same language, only in different
tongues Chamberlain, however, is
the lesser of the two evils.
