Promises VS.. Achievements

eleven years have come forth
with a long parade of achieve
ments that cannot be careless
Iy ignored by even the most
rabidly partisan.
Compared to the Republicans
this is what the Democrats pre-
sent as their racial platform:
1--WE believe that racial and re-
ligious minorities have the right
to live, develop and vote equally
with all citizens and share the
rights that are guaranteed by our
Constitution. Congress should ex-
ert it's full unconstitutional powers
to protect these rights"
SIGNAL VICTORY
In this briefly stated plank, the
Democrats are in reality according
Negroes all those things for which
our leaders have so long fought.
And unlike the Republicans, who
in the 1914 convention took UP the
soiled banner Of states rights as
their standard, the Democrats
here unequivocably concede that
guaranteeing the right to vote is
not a state matter, but is strictly
the business of the federal govern
nent.
This means that those Demo-
Gratis who persist in their de-
fiance of the Supreme Courts
decision on white primaries.
are doing so against the pledged
stand of their national party;
that their discriminatory ac-
tions will no longer be condon-
ed; and that the federal gov
eminent must be empowered
BY Congress to deal with these
recalcitrants.
This is signal victory. The at
firmation of the constitutionally
guaranteed right of all citizens
TO have voice in the selection of
those who are to rule over them.
is actually a step that the Repubn-

cans during their half century in
power hesitated to take.
WALLACE STATES CASE
But forgetting the Democratic
platform, it would seem to this
writer. that Negro voters are
short-sighted indeed if they trade
the great social reforms achieved
under the liberal leadership of
President Roosevelt for a man.
who is an avowed champion Of
reaction.
The guiding star for Negro
voters was stated clearly here
Thursday night by Vice Presi-
dent Henry A. wallace when
he said amid thunder0us APP
pIause: "Ihe future belongs to
those who go down the line
unswervingly for liberalism re-
CARELESS of race, color or creed
or religion. In a political and
economic sense, there must be
no inferior races.
1.-THE poll tax must go!
Equal educational opportunities
must come!
"The future must bring equal
wages for equal work regardless
of sex or race.
Roosevelt stands for ali of
these That is why certain people
hate him so. That also is one Of
the outstanding reasons why
Roosevelt will be elected for a
fourth term"
RINGING CHALLENGE
Here is the real platform of the
Democratic Party, one that is. more
than a gilded promise to get votes,
but a ringing, challenging In
sight into the things to come under
the liberal leadership that will be
Mr.. Roosevelt's.
These are the things that the
plain people, the common people.
the great masses of working people
want. They are the things that
Negroes want. To sacrifice them
for vague promises, uncertain OF
fulfilment would indeed be a
tragic mistake for Negro voters Of
America to make,

To the unwary, the unthinking,

Negro voters than the brief plat
form adopted by the Democrats.
But is this true?
NOTHING BUT Premises

Negroes but promises, most OF them
vague, and a reminder that they
were the party responsible for the
abolition Of slavery.

HOPES BORNE OUT

Opinions of Negro Democrats as
given this correspondent in Chicago
Stadium Immediately after the
platform was adopted, on the same
day Wallace made his historic and
courageous speech, bore out. to
some extent the hope the Demo-
Gratis entertained
expressed confidence that Negroes
would continue to have Roosevelt's
full support in the enactment of
necessary federal legislation to
cure evils however they exist.
He said this included federal
laws against lynching, against
poll taxes, against discrimination
in every branch of the armed
forces, against discrimination on
railroads and other public con.
veyances aac in every function. of

AIaska's Future Seen

Washington (P) - Secretary of Interior Ickes said in his an- nuaI report that the develop ment of Alaska is becoming ln- creasingly connected with the welfare of the whole nation lie predicted that never again Will the territory be left a "vulner- able outpost.
 The country must become more thoroughly acquainted with Alaska resources, which must be inventoried and plans made to utilize and develop them wisely, he said. Less than half the territory is satisfactor- fly surveyed and less than 5 per cent is privately owned, he add ed, and the government, ao landlord, should find out what it owns.
 Postwar acceleration of the demand for land seems inevlta- ble. Not only will members of the Armed forces and civilian construction workers become ac- quainted with the advantages of the territory, but new road con struction, including the Inter- national highway, has made Alaska more accessible"
