Both victories flow then, from

Both victories flow then, from
the people. The first, directly, and
through mass action. The second, in
directly. Both forms of action r
necessary to democracy.
On the basis of both victories,
thousands will be e%nheartened to go to
the polls. On the basis of both victories
that section of the white South which
has been disfranchised through the
poll tax will be enheartened to fight
against this method by which Big
Business steals votes.
And people will see each other
more clearly. Those who deserted mass
action now see its value. Those who
may have spoken disparagingly of the
courts now see that the courts can be
a weapon protecting the peoples rights
when they are in the hands of the
friends of the people"
Deep in our hearts, we should re-
joice at the further clarity of these
two victories, won in battle, bring to
the struggle for democracy. A pro-
found understanding of how progress
is won through struggle is the result.
And a you not see the indomita-
BILE spirit Of the Negro people and
their inexhaustible optimism, as re-
n
Elected in these victories?
Defeats lie behind us. Some defeats
are ahead. But there is ultimate vic
tory where there is unity.

SPENDING DRUNK MUST END

It a recent address, Senator Pat
Harrison made this very apt observa-
ton on present day government fiscal
policy: Il received a postal card the
other day, and penciled on it was this
wholesome expression: You can no
more spend yourself into prosperity
than you can drink yourself sober
That fellow had something. While |
have never been so unfortunate as to
visit one of the Kelley institutions, |
am told that the practice to effect the
cure is to make the patient sick at first
by too much drink and then to continue
the treatment by a gradual tapering
off into sobriety. We have experienced
in Washington an excess of the initial
treatment. The time is ripe for taper
ing off,"
Certainly the theory that it is
possible to spend a nation into pros
perity has been thorough exploded by
now. We have tried it for years,
and basic conditions are about as bad
now as they were at the worst of de-
preston, and unemployment about as
high. And the hard facts, gathered
from generations of experience, DEM
onstrate conclusively that a debt rid
den and tax ridden nation is likewise
a depression ridden nation.
Senator Byrd of Virginia, another
Congressional advocate of economy
and fiscal sanity, recently said, I'VE
have never enjoyed prosperity or SUBJ
stantial business expansion when the
total tax collections-local, state and
national-exceeded II per cent of the
national income" Today something
over 20 per cent of u national income
is being collected in taxes. And 30 per
cent of our national income is being
spent by government, the difference
being represented by deficits which are
added to our all time high public debt,
We can have economy when the
people really want it-when selfish
sectional interests which demand more
and more money for their pet projects
see the folly of their ways. The nation
is heading for tax delirium tremens
unless it tapers off soon.

ON PARADE

One of the exhibits at the great
New York Worlds Fair has almost
literally "laid 'em in the ~aisles." That
is the exhibit put on. by Americas
railroads, under the title Railroads on
Parade" 1t is not only an industrial
exhibit, but a revue, complete with
music, story and dancing, and it has
met with the overwhelming praise of
cynical dramatic critics, as we'll as the
general public.
It's a fitting thing that the rail-
road show should be outstanding at
the fair, for the railroad industry has
been outstanding in American history.
1t wasn't much more than 100 years
ago when the first steam locomotive
a tiny, show, uncertain thing compared
to the splendid roaring monsters that
serve us today, was put in service. And
men r still living who can remember
when the Golden Spike was driven at
Promentory, and the two great oceans
were linked with spans of steel.
In that brief century which has
been the life of the railroads, this ma
ton has come from a relatively poor,
u~ndeveloped country to its present
position of world leadership in indus
try, in finance in commerce, in the
arts, in all that makes a civilization.
And there is not a single achievement
in which the railroads have not played
a part-and, very often, a dominant
part. 1t was the railroads that made
possible the winning of the West, and
the establishment of great cities, farms
and industries in a once barren land.
1t was the railroads that made possible
the development of our great Eastern
industrial c%enters, which give jobs to
teeming millions and swiftly and eco
nomically serve consumers thousands
of miles away. 1t was the railroads
which immensely broadened the mar
ket for the farmer, to the extent that
a citrus fruit grower in the South can
sell his wares in Chicago, and a potato
producer in New England find buyers
in the Southwest.
Robert Coleman of the New York
Mirror, writes that the railroad show
at the fair deserves a q gun salute"
There can be no limit to the salute the
railroads deserve for their enormously
important role in building this vast
nation of ours.

Two Notable Victories

VICTORY is an inspiring tnlng.
When it comes on the front of struggle
for democracy, its effect is like an cleo
trio current. 1t throws new light upon
old issues. It generates new energy, 1t
stimulates new forces.
Two such victories have come in
the struggle of Negro America to
enforce the Constitution. These are
victories which flow from the New
Deal. They are victories which rebound
to the credit of progressive America.
as a whole. True, they are victories
for which the Negro people are, in
particular proud. y
On the other hand, comes the vic
tory through the New Deal Supreme
Court. The Oklahoma Registration law
by which Negroes were disfranchised,
has been declared invalid by the high
est court of the land. The Supreme
Court is becoming an agency for the
extension of democracy. What a Won
derful change has been wrought in
this institution! Long has the Supreme
Court placed a protecting arm around
Democratic Primary Laws" Grand
father clauses, or other maneuvers,
whereby democracy has been defeated
and Negroes denied the vote.
Now this court comes to the fore.
1t is again the weapon for progress
that Jefferson and Lincoln sought to
make of it. 1t is again expressing it.
self against the feudal program of the
Southern landlord, a program Presi-
dent Roosevelt called akin to fascism.'
BOTH of these victories will have
~far-reaching effects upon the struggle
to protect and extend democracy at
home. Both will strengthen the New
Deal forces. Both will draw the Negro
people and the great progressive
stream, now rising, closer together.
This is certainly but a small part
of the rewards of these forward steps.
The approach to these victories
differed. The Miami case was won in
the streets. Courageous men and wom-
en- defied the masked gangs of Big
Business. It was the employment OF
a pressure, carried out in order to
win and exercise a legal right.
The highlights were courage, love
for law and justice, the willingness to
fight, and if necessary, die for these
things which progressive America
holds more dear than life itself. These
are the chief characteristics of the
action carried through by Negro
Miami.
A WAVE of admiration and hap
piness cannot fail to sweep through
those who love liberty. In Miami, the
claw" was in the hands of those whose
respect for hooded gangs is greater
than their respect for claw and order"
Miami in the black skin stood on the
Constitution. Reaction in Miami "lied"
on the Constitution.
The Oklahoma victory was won
it the courts. But in this case, the
court was only reflecting the will of
the people. The court was the express
sion of the peoples demand for a new
