Wallace Blasts
Race Prejudice

CHICAGO-Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace. Demo
cratic vice presidential nominee,
asserted today that 'one Of the
most effective ways to fight Ma
zism and Fascism in this country
is to fight class. religious and race
discrimination"
TT is time that human beings
got nd of some injurious prejudices
and superstitions which definitely
belong in the discard" he said In
a speech prepared for delivery at
the American Negro exposition.
II see no reason not to accept
the word of science that there is
no proof that one race is superior
TO another" he said.
IF that is true-and as ! have
said. see no reason TO doubt it-a
lot of responsibility that we have
put on nature is our responsibility
after all. And to accept our re-
sponsibility we must do all that
we can to get rid of hatred and dis
elimination and to give human be-
ings the opportunity to which they
are entitled. There is no better
way 10 re-arm democracy"
Wallace also said that "some
hard years" are ahead of farmers,
especially those in the south. He
pointed out that the European war
has caused the export market for
American cotton TO shrink and the
stepped-up production Of the coun-
try is not sufficient TO take up the
slack.
