Earl Browder Explains
Position OF Communists

issues which were raised in ques-
tons asked him by leaders of labor,
some OF whom were friendly and
others unfriendly.
Walter Hardin. chairman OF the
UAW-CIO Interracial committee,
asked Mr.. Browder what was his
opinion on the present course OF
Negro political action in America.
Mr.. Browder said he was sure that
the Negro voters will not be fooled
by the reactionarY Republicans who
are responsible for the enhanced
power Of poll-taxers through their
unholy alliance in Congress- Ne
groes will note. he said that the POLL
takers hate President Roosevelt
along with the COP and that a
fourth term victory for Roosevelt
will be an effective slap at reaction
aries regardless Of party.
He stated that the Communist
party is seeking to make sure that
President Roosevelt run again and
said II is essential for world prog
ress that he be drafted regardless
OF his inclinations in the matter.
He insisted that the position OF
the Communist party on free enter
prise has been deliberately mis-
interpreted and declared that Marx
lists have always recognized pro-
gressive capital as opposed to re-
dictionary capital. Today the pro-
gressive capitalists. he argued.
should have the support of the
people against their reactionary coll
leagues.
Mr.. Browder hailed the Supreme
Court decision against the Texas
white primary as q progressive
measure which may 60 far to save
the Southland. He pointed out that
the majority OF present Supreme
Court justices held against the
Texas primaries were Roosevelt
appointees.

NECROES READY
TO TEST COURT.
DECISION now

Carter Wesley we!l-known editor
OF the Houston lnformer and pub
fisher OF several Texas Negro news
papers, hailed the decision Of the
II. S. Supreme Court last Monday
cutlawing the Texas white prim-
nry"
Mr.. Wesley issued the following
Statement over the weekend:
Under the opinion there is no
way that Negroes Can DC prohibited
from voting in the Democratic
primary. The laws Of Texas pro-
wide for primaries and until the
laws are repealed, II is assumed
that the nominations and elections
will have 10 be by primaries. The
sltuation Is the same as IL was in
oklahoma after The Supreme courts
sdecision in Lane g. " son. where
Negroes just went 20 TIC polls and
voted because there was nothing
20 stop them.
Inc NckTOts attituuC
MANY whites have been calling
Do ask what will be the Negroes
attitude and what will they do7
, The Negroes OF Texas feel that a
serious res possibility has come 10
/, them along with The privilege and
, Che right Of voting The query as
20 whether or not they will put up
Negro candidates in the coming
Election shows that whites still
don't know Negroes. Not Negro
has been heard 10 even express a
desire 10 put up Negro candidates
Every Negro who has expressed
himself at all has talked in terms
OF sharing with the other citizens
tn the task of choosing qualified
leaders TO carry on a better and
bigger South.
Negro leaders throu ghout the
State have already begun to eau
zion members of their race mott
be boastful, to avoid insulting their
white friends and neighbors, and
90 remember that they must work
with and live with the white peo-
pie around them since they share
the common right OF voting. The
Negro is happy naturally. but he is
not vindictive and he is not haugh-
y over q victory that has taken
20 years OF toll, hesrtbreak and
disappointment and thousands of
dollars to win. The real question
Is will the white man be big enough
70 face the exigencies and condi-
tons OF the present day. One
white friend reported that he was
3ust from the courthouse where
gloom prevailed. 1t is hoped by
Negroes that il was not gloom of
bitterness but merely OF uncertain
ty In q new crisis"

u. S. Fights Plea
Of Spaniard Who
Posed As Citizen

TUCSON, Sept. 21-From 1887 to
1914 Manuel Leon Lopez, native of
Spain, taught Spanish at the Uni
versity of Arizona without being a
citizen of the United States. Now
the fact that he signed pay vouch-
ers and other documents as a citi-
zen is brought up by the US. I'm
migration Service to prevent his
naturalization.
An immigration Service motion
to deny Lopez's petition for natur-
alization was taken under advise
ment by us. Judge Albert M.
Sames after the peculiar circum-
stances had been brought out.
According to Lopez, he did not
know of the citizenship requirement
when he took a temporary position
at the university. He learned of it
only after he became permanent
faculty member, but kept quiet
rather than give up his post. Last
spring his superiors learned he was
not a citizen and he was dismissed.

Closing In On Japs

The havoc that is being raised with japanese
ships in the far reaches of the Pacific is bleeding
Japan to death. Sea supply service is island ma
tion's life line. In contrast, the Japs can take
comfort from the necessary extension of American
lines of communication in the Pacific as American
airpower, combined with overwhelming warship
escort, has removed most of its hazards
How serious the Japanese shipping plight has
become is revealed by the fact that the Japs now
employ native canoes to move supplies and shift
troops in the Northwestern New Guinea area, where
Allied planes are strafng and bombing native out
1igger canoes. The pay-off will come when Allied
naval and shipping resources longer will be needed
in the European theater and Allied might will close
in on the Japanese end of the axis.
