Governor Blamcs Axis
Paul B. Johnson, governor oil the
state which harbors such Negro
phobes as Senator Bilbo and Rep
rcsentative John Rankin, stated this
week that he was shocked almost
beyond words over the lynchines,
johnson pledged anew the full
influence Of my Office to see that
those who committed these crimes
are prosecuted.
The state executive blamed the
mob violence, which has been SYM
bolic of southern justice throughout
many decades. on the influence OF
axis powers at work in Mississippi.
The governor asked that all citi-
zcns cooperate to blast from our
borders the disturbing influences
and elements" and called upon
Mississippians of both races for
unity, sober thinking sound judge
ment and patriotism
Organization Protest
In a sharply worded letter TO
Attorney General Francis Biddle,
the Southern Youth Congress this
week claimed that the lynchings
were the inevitable results Of the
agitation Of white supremacists and
called for the investigation Of ex-
governor Talmadge's new organiza-
ton. "Vigilantes, Inc The letter
read in part:
"The lynching Of two 14-year old
Negro children is not only a foul
but dastardly crime
against our country's unity and war
effort. The lynchers' rope which
hung these innocent lads cuts into
the cause of the United Nations.
The dangling forms Of these lynched
children has cast a shadow upon
our Atlantic Charter in the eyes Of
the billion colored people who are
our allies
The National Council Of Negro
Youth declared: The conscience
Of America must cry out against
this heinous crime, and the mob
sters must be caught and brought
to justice These lynchinss are q
direct blow at national unity so
badly needed at this hour Of the
greatest crisis that freedom flowing
people have ever faced. Negro SOL
diers cannot 60 into battle whole
heartedly while their IA and l6
year old brothers are being lynched.
The N.A.ACP. has called upon
President Roosevelt to speak out
against lynching and TO lend sup
port to the enactment Of a federal
anti-lynching law.
We protest this lynching. as we
have protested all those that have
gone before; but we are more
shocked and outraged. as we are
sure every decent American must
be, at the thought that anywhere
n our land in 1912 could be found

Il do not know Mr.. Brown. I

suggest to- the New Deal that

that 1t diminish the plenteous
feeding OF political privilege which
has shocked and shamed the
country In times past. There
would be less disappointment when
the faithful become unfaithful and
are removed from the trough"
While Otter spoke and casti-
gated the "spoils' system through
which the New Deal had appar-
emily continued its existence,
Mitchell yainly clamored for the
floor
Again Otter: can It he that
loyalty TO the New Deal IS based

plenieous feeding al political

that the New Deal must depend
on the public pay rolls for 10y
