MIR. RANKIN AGAIN

Congressman Rankin of Mississippi, who is run
ing some of his southern colleagues in Congress a
close race for being the prize Ounce on Capitol HILL
told America that the Red Cross should not accept
Negro blood because it would "mongreze" the SOL
diers. We recall the incident only because of a
news dispatch last week which stated that "Beef
blood plasma may be substituted for human blood
in transfusions to save the lives of wounded men in
the American combat services
We are certain that Congressman Rankin would
find the blood of bovine far acceptable than
that of human whose fermentation differs from his
own. Of all the things wrong with America, we can
think of nothing any worse tran pigbrained public
figures who abuse the privilege and honor of their
position by pandering to popular prejudces. We
hope that by the time Congressman Rankin gets
around to blood TRANSMISSION for himself, medical
science will have adequately developed the proper
ties of the plasma of the skunk, an animal which is
somehow suggestive of Mr.. Rankin.

THE TIME IS RIPE

Political activity is near an all time low on our
side of town despite the fact that those candidates
who will be elected in the coming election will have
greater responsibilities than ever before in history
and their decisions may very well determine the des-
tiny of the for years to come. This is one time
that personal differences and partisan considerations
should become secondary to the real issue which is
the welfare of our group.
We cannot be blind to the world crisis mhich
affects us as surely as any other group Now is the
time for us to get in the general stream and start
fighting for those opportunities and new policies
which should have been our birthright in true
democracy. Those candidates who do not under
stand the issues involved in this war and the neces-
sity for freedom and equality for all people must
not be permitted to ride into office because of our
negligence or indifference. If this coming era is
The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1942-06-27

to be the era of the common man as Vice President
Wallace believes, certainly the common man must
become alert to his own interests and take greater
part in the political affairs which will eventually
shape the course of democracy in America.
Let us organize our forces now and unite our
efforts to the end that our militant and democratic
voice will be heard in the highest councils of gov
eminent This is our war and this is our world, and
we must live up to our responsibilities in the coming
election by choosing those candidates who have no
fear of practical democracy wherein all groups
play deserving part.
