THE NAAcP

Those who think Boston is lolling in complacency
toward the struggle for equality everywhere in the
United States will have to revise their opinions in view Of
the large attendance and abundant enthusiasm at the
nual dinner-meetng Of the NAACP. The number pres
ent admittedly exceeded the expectations Of the
ing committee. Although the and the war indus
tries have cut deeply into the ranks of NAACP support
ers the hall was crowded to the doors And heartily
responsive gathering was too. Every aspect of the
occasion augurs well for successful outcome Of the ap
preaching campaign for new members
We cannot however, totally ignore the fact that "the
winter Of our discomfort made glorious by the
sun" of liberal sentiment in the Grand Old Bay State
tends to promote in many persons disposition to
"st back and take it easy with confidence that God is
in His heavens and ALPS right with the world" This is
a dangerous frame of mind. Vigilance becomes lax
while the foes within and without embodened is
dangerous to fiddle while any part of Rome burns The
conhagraton may spread itself be spread by the will
ling hands of fascistminded colorphobsts who migrate
here, who still fighting the Civil War, aided and
abetted by the defeatsts, appeaser "hankyhead and
selfsegregating sycophans who looking for hand
out jobs at the expense Of liberties here. We in
Massachusetts in freedom unless there
is freedom in every section of the country. And therein
is the prime for ensng in fighting organizations
like the NAACP. For what the NAACP is accomplish
ing the Boston goal of two thousand-the usual number
is entirely too small An enrolment of five to ten thou
sand would nearly register what should be Massa
chusetss interest in the struggle to spread freedom
nation wide.
