Warns Against
American Fascismr@

Bitterly denouncing the rapid
growth OF fasclsm throughout the
world, Lester b. Granger. New
York social worker. informed a
large group at Plymouth Congre-
gational church Sunday night that
''lynching Is vicious manifestation
OF disregard for individual rights
and the breeding OF fascism In A.
merica."
Neither Is lynching a demon
stration OF hate, nor does It grow
out OF rape or disrespect for whites
by Negroes. Neither Is II confin-
ed TO Alabama and other southern
states" he continued. "Lynchlng
Is the outgrowth OF the struggle
for economic security"
In referring to the recent drive
made by New Workers for Jobs with
the large utilities, Mr.. Granger
said that while the campaign had
been successful. It had not brought
the results which many were
claiming.
The speaker told OF the invest.
CATION in New York concerning
state employment. This disclosed
that Negroes had been almost en-.
tirely ignored through the years.

Fasciism And
Imperialism Hit
By Max Yergan
Granger Asks
For Greater
Employment

There are two PHILOSOPHERS
which are today threatening the
very existence OF the minority
groups in general, and the Negro
group in particular. said Max YER
gan, director OF Committee on AZ
rican Affairs in the st. Antoine
Forum Sunday afternoon. These
two philosophers. according to the
speaker, are fascism and imperial
ism.
"Fascism. because OF its false
racial ideology. whereby nordic
supremacy 10 stressed. is an anti
democratic theory. and has as its
prime motive the defaming and
maligning OF q famous people-the
Negroes" said the speaker.
This philosophy. which is used
primarily against one minority
the Jews OF Europe-and one ma
jority-the Negroes OF the world
contains the serious possibility Of
war;" Mr.. Yergan emphasized.
Imperialism 10 one OF the most
vicious factors In International az
fairs, and Africa Is subjected to
this form OF viciousness more than
any other country" he stated.
The speaker pointed out that
Imperialism had been the means OF
exploitation OF African workers,
the denying to them of their poll
tical and civil rights. and which
has taken labor without adequate
compensation.
Imperialism has seriously warp
ed and curtailed the culture OF
those people which II has subjected
to It's rule" he declared.
Mr.. Yergan declared that there
has been sufficient evidence Of
fascism and Imperialism In the
South where the Negro has been
denied his constitutional rights by
vested and well intrenched inter-
ests.
"Fascism is represented IN Eu-
rope by Hitler and Mussolini. and
imperialism is characterized by
Chamberlain and Daladier. These
four have banded themselves to-
gether to perpetuate the philoso-
phies which they advocate, Mr.,
Yergan stated.
