Whattd Congressman.

If anything mere was neces-
:Sary to convince the cOlored peo-
pie Of America that Arthur
Mitchell, Negro Congressman
from Chicago, is an unmitigated
ass, his shameful speech on the
athych bill hould cave o; MIA
antitlynch bill should leave no
doubt of the fact. He accuses
the Republicans in Congress,
who are sponsoring the bill, of
bad faith. He says they are try
ing to buy back the Negro vote.
When asked by a Republican
Congressman if the Negro vote
was for sale, he answered.
Every vote in the UnitedStates
is for sale - not for money, but
for rights and justice" Mitchell
thereby condemned himself out
Of his own mouth. If the Ne
gro vote is for sale for rights
al justice why should not the
Republican party seek to buy it
with rights and Justice? Or.
does the Congressman feel, along
with his Southern colleagues
that burning at the stake is the
sort of rights and justice" that
the Negro deserves?
Mr.. Mitchell knows that there

This bill Can he be so abjcctly
ignorant as to believe h a t the

vote to the party which seeks

bill, az d in preference give his
vote to the party that diliJustcr-

Arthur Mitchell, originally

President Roosevelt has been
loud in his plea that the foreign
dictator nations call off their
wars. He was exceptionally loud
spoken in his plea for Finland.
We agree with him in princi-
pie. Any true American and ex-
ponent of democracy cannot
truthfuly approve of the "big
fellow takig what the little fell
low owns. We as a minority
people certainly must be in the
front ranks of those demanding
a recognition of the rights of
others but we still insist that
President Roosevelt could dc
much more if he raised his voice
here at home for the recognition
of full citizenship rights Tor
Negroes.
Why should Negroes be secre,-
ly excluded from the wide scale
industrial recovery? Why does
not President Roosevelt call at
tention of the rest of the nation,
and the industrialists in particu-
lar, to the fact that the recovery
of America must include the in
dustrial emancipation of Negro
workers. 4ry -.
Why must President Roose.
welt remain silent on the equali-
cation of educational standards
of the South? Why must he re-
mair quiet as to the need for
passage of the anti-lynching bill
Why must he remain silent at
the brazenness of the xxx
which is again starting out on a
race terroristic program?

 One of the matters being inves- tigated is whether certain agents of the Bureau reserved rich sal mon spawning field on the West Coast for a favored company.
