PRELUDE TO DISASTER

For one week recently the writer had the oppor-
tunity to observe apparent changes in the thinking
and the attitudes of the Negroes of the South which
have been produced by the effort. 1t was not
able too that the attitude of the whites toward the
Negro in Dixie has undergone considerable change.
1t has been said of most observers from the North
that they find what they seek in the South. Frankly,
it is our belief that observer could fail to that
racial tensions greater today in Dixie than they
have been in decades
The key to the present social puzzle of the South
lies in the marked economic advancement of the Ne
gro workers in hundreds of towns and villages. For
the first time in many years the majority of work
ers with the exception of farm-hands in some iso-
lated areas, are getting wages which enable them
to live on a scale that, while it is not adequate or
equal to the whites is above the prewar level This
impoverished group is beginning to lift its head and
to reject the philosophy of cunning subservience
which enabled them to live in pre-war years. 1t is
not surprising therefore, that there is considerable
reaction on the part Of the white masses against
the rising fortunes of their erstwhe serfs.
The growing militancy of the Negro in Dixie
in clashng with Che defeatst philosophy of the whites
who determined that nothing must change the
status quo that nothing must interfere with the IRON
clad traditions of white supremacy, that no one
should assail the great god Jim Crow. The Bour-
bons of the white South alarmed by portents
of social change which appear to be threatening at
this late date to complete the job of emancipation.
The Southern attack on the New Deal has its origins

in the fear that the liberalism of the New Dealers
may undermine the social traditions which have
helped to keep the black masses in ser d o m and
ignorance.
Despite the braying of Virgnius Dabney, Mark
Etherdge and John Temple Graves southern white
leaders who call themselves liberal, the new mitancy
of the southern Negro does not appear be melted
by northern Negro radicals" or the Negro Press
The war effort itself is making such demands on
manpower that the most humble Uncle Tom is begin
ming to see that he is somehow vital to victory His
services being barganed for and he is beginning
to ask his own price. The shortage of Negro domes-
tics, for example, is of the most nfuriating re-
suits Of the manpower shortage to the white
southerner
While many of these economic changes took
place during the last war they never reached the
proportions of today when every human resource is
needed for total war Unlike the last war, too, some
attempt has been made to place contracts in the
southern areas of abundant labor supply The crisis
in the nations food supply has given greater cha
lenge to the rural South. Despite all these economic
opportunities the Negro worker is still exploited
shameessy and barred wherever white labor is able
to do the job.
Grudgingy, therefore, the white South has
opened few doors out of sheer necessity and the
southern Negro knows it. He knows that as soon
the emergency is over, attempts will be made to
crush him, to put him back in his place" to force
him to his knees once more begging for life itself,
let alone liberty When that time comes as many
southern Negro leaders predict it WILL there is going
to be another war in Dixie.
The rising spirit of the Negro youth in the
armed forces fighting for freedom, and of h e i r
brothers the home front working for freedom too,
-
bloodshed. The white South is adamant but afraid,
for as one white farmer remarked, "Niggers amt
like they used to be-" The stupid resistance to So
cial change by the Dixie Bourbons is nothing short
of criminal in this democracy. There are few lib
era white voices crying out in the wilderness of the
canebrakes and if they not needed by the leaders
of crackerdom in the months to come this war period
may appear to the historian of another day as the
prelude to disaster in Dixie.
