LIBERAL SENTIMENT HERE

One reason advanced for the
apparent apathy among Mass
achusetts colored citizens to-
ward racial matters is that
they themselves have no acute
grievances to overcome. Racial
friction has been reduced to
a minimum if it exists at all.
On the other hand liberal Sent
iment steadily increases. The
state itself is set against i'll

Nevertheless it is possible
that there may be occasional

A federal grand jury inyes-
tigating the Sikeston lynching
case failed to return indict-
ments. The result was not un-
expected. No doubt the mem
bers of the grand jury did
their work thoroughly. They
reported that they and their
legal advisers questioned long
and searchingly many witness
es from Sikeston and vicinity
in an attempt to determine
whether any federal statute
had been violated by the
members Of the mob, but final
ly, with great reluctance, had
come to the conclusion that
the facts disclosed do not con-
Stitute any federal offenSe. :"

currence as a shameful OUT

NO HATRED
BY RUTH TAYLOR
For Charles StelzLe, Inc.

We cannot kill prejudice by
hate.
No one has ever built a de-
cent society on hate. Today we
are engaged in a great war
against the forces of hate.
Were we able to completely era
dictate the manifestations of old
hatredS and prejudices in our
own midst, we would be able to
fight better. 1t is one of our
greatest weaknesses today that
we have not done SO. But we
have and still are making great
progress in that direction.
Hate is the weapon of our
enemy. They stirred their own
people to aggression by feeding
them upon hate. They have
conquered nations not merely
by force of their arms, but by
first breaking them open to at
tack through the stirring up of
hatreds of class against class,
race against race, religion
against religion, so that they
could not fight back. We must
not let this poison gas of divi-
sion and disunity lay waste our
nation.
We must avoid hatred as we
would the plague. War is wag-
ed better without hatred, with
out hySteria-but wholly, with
careful calculation to strike a
harder, faster, more accurate
blow than the enemy.
We must not acquire the vices
of the enemy in fighting him.
His law is hate. Ours must not
be ike unto his. We must re-
tain our ideals of a free world
in which justice, freedom and
love may reign. These are
ideals that we must learn to
love SO well with all our heart,
with all our soul and with all
our might that we can fight like
Crusaders for those ideals.
Here is the place to start real
izing our ideals. Here in this
country. Ideals of freedom
and human equality are on the
march. In the Bill of Rights,
promulgated one hundred and
fifty years ago; in the Four
Freedoms from the Presidents
Message to Congress in January
1912 lies the hope of the world.
These are not declarations of
hate. There is no mention
made of race or creed or color.
There is no mention of nation
atty or class. These are pledges
for all the nations, all the peo-
pie of all the world.
But we must start with our

Was struck in brutal style;
This image breathes InmortaIs breath

An image with satanic power
And disregard for law,
Unleashed contenptuous violence
Upon fraiI divine-Iike jaw
Great multitudes afar and near
Who, charmed by his great art,
Aghastly view this beastIy crime
AS stab at his brave heart.
Sing on: great man, sing for eer
The songs we love to hear.
Thy body squirned from painful blows
Thy soul they did not tear.
Sing once again the Crucifix
Which oft our souls has stirred;
Fhey cruelty nailed Him to the Tree
And He never said a munnbling word

tons peace aims is a powerful
weapon in the winning of the
war, Elmer Davis, Director of
the Office of War Information,
said in releasing a pamphlet en-
titled 1.-THE Four Freedoms.
In a statement accompanying
the release MIR. Davis said: "Our
job is to win the war as swiftly
as possible. But the tremen-
dous effort that will be needed
to win it will be made the more
readily if the American people
fully understand the detectives
for which we fight. We are
fighting not merely against
something but for something
for a free world for those peo-
pies who, as Secretary of State
Hull has said, understand that
enjoyment of liberty is the fruit
Of willingness to fight, suffer
and die for it,. The Four
Freedoms, and the discussions
to which it will contribute,
should prove a useful guide tow
ard the better understanding of
the world toward which we
strive"
Axis nations, says the PAM
phlet, promise a world in
which the conquered peoples
will live out their lives in the
service of their masters" The
United Nations, it continues,
plan a world in which men
stand straight and walk free,
free not of all human trouble,
but free of the fear of deSpotic
power, free to develop as indi-
vidualS, free to conduct and
shape their affairs.
1--WE and our allies" it says,
"are fighting today not merely
to defend an honorable past
and old slogans and faiths, but
to construct a still more honor
able and rewarding future.
Fighting men, coming back
from the war, will not be salts
fed with a mere guarantee of
dull Security-they will expect
to find useful work and a Wig
orouS life"
Summarizing each of the four
freedoms, the sixteen-page Owl
pamphlet says:
Freedom of Speech: ITO live
free a man must speak openly:
gag him and he becomes either
Servile or full of cankers. Free
government is then the most
realistic kind of government,
for it not only assumes that a
man has something on his
mind, but comedies his right to
say it. 1t permits him to talk
not without fear of contradic-
ton, but without fear of pun
ishment."
Freedom of Religion: 1--WE of
the nations united in war,
among whom all the great reli-
gions are represented, see a
triumphant peace by which all
races will continue the belief in
man, the b e Ii ef in
his elusive and untouchable
spirit, and in tn solid worth of
human life"

Propaganda is a most DOW
erful instrument. It's purpose
is to do the thinking for the
public. 1t makes you think
just what the other fellow
wants you to think. It's reac.-
ton is: Like powder in a
Skillness soldiers flask is set on
fire by thine own ignorance
and thou diSmembered with
thine own defense"
The theory of race superior
ity is propaganda. Many be-
lieve in it. Yet science has
definitely determined there is
no difference in racial bloods.
Religion, science, law and Co.
der and civilization are on the
basis of the brain of the black
man of antiuity. Many ideas
are being advanced but the
principle remains the same.
The Reconstruction" is
propagandered in Congress by
the south. 1t has stayed FEEDER
al action So years on the race
problem. Yet, records show
that the south was better gov-
erned from 1869 to 1876 by
mixed legislatures than it ever
has by lily whites.
Batting the color question is
propaganda. 1t blocks our pro-
greSs economically. Yet, serv-
ice and money are not affected
by the color of a mans skin.
1t is a matter of how you
think on such issues.
The use of the word Dem
ocracy" is propaganda. 1t has
aided the south to keep the
colored man in his place. (?)

Senator Ellander of Louisi-
ana who wasted weeks of the
Governments time f1libuster-
ing on the Anti-Lynch Bill is
now f1libustering on the can
celled contracts of the Higgins
Corporation. These ship yards
apparently built play boats,
pleasure and coast wise boats.
They were not equipped to
build according to government
specification. 1t needed 10000
tons of steel to equip the yard
before the first keel could be
laid. The war department
needs steel for other purposes.
Then too, there was the proc
ability of friction between gov
eminent employees, because Of
the south's segregation poll
cies. While the Federal Gov
eminent has unwittingly &C
quiested and humored the
south, it will not openly be a
party to it's infringement on
constitutional rights.

It should be remembered
that IT years ago our fathers
were the slaves of the south.
Their tears, blood and physi-
cal endurance laid the foun-
dalton for the Superstructure
in which our malefactors live
in luxury.
We, as the progeny of the
slave, have as much right to
the privileges, liberty, freedom
and wealth of the south as the
progency of the slave holder.
During the days of slavery the
Abolition Movement" was
blunted by ranting in the
same manner that the conten-
tons for our rights are today.
Rabid southerners Numbered
in the forums, THE slaves will
be freed only over my dead
body" Well, they are dead.
Laws have been enacted over
their dead bodies. The slave is
now an American Citizen. In
time segregation and jim
Growing will pass in the same
manner. The ".Divine Plan"
never fails.
The south demands that the
Federal Government keep
hands off. 1t can take care of
its problem. The war had made
the colored man a government
asset. He is needed to help win
this war. Will the freedom
that he helps to win be shared
with him on his return home?
That uestion is giving the
SouGn the FILTERS. The world is
learning through press criti-
cism and the difficulty that
Federal agents have in work
ing the two races together how
the south is treating its col
ored population.
Petitions are flooding in TO
Congress for the enforcement
of the 18th, 18th and 18th
