WASHINGTON, Dec. IA @ -
Senator Bailey D.-N. c., opposing
majority vote for treaty rattle alton,
finds himself at odds with another
distinguished North Carolinian, Jo-
sephus Daniels, Raleigh, Secretary
of the Navy in Woodrow wilson
cabinet.
In recent testimony before t h e
House Judiciary Committee, Dan
iels declared retention of the two
thirds Senate rule governing treaty
ratification endangered the peace
of the world.
Gust as long as one third OF
the senator's can prevent the ratifi-
cation of a treaty, the Sword of
Damocles will hang over the head
of majority rule in a republic
founded upon the principle of the
consent of the governed" Daniels
asserted.
Bailey, in equally strong feeling.
successfully begged senators during
debate on the Rivers and Harbors
Bill to vote down the St. Lawrence
Seaway amendment because he
said, II cannot believe that sena-

It was City Attorney Campbell who pointed
out at the Council meeting that no more &C.

because it freezes overnight Here, certainly,
is sufficient reason for suspending the con-
tract.
If this is done and work resumed in the
early spring, there should also be provision,
obligatory upon the contractor and the City,
for constant supervision and inspection.

Vinson Holds Order
For New Price Method

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Up -
In the face of opposition from pro-
ducers and distributors, Fred M.
Vinson refused tonight to rescind
a directive for new pricing meth

The new pricing method, the d.

ever present downward pressure
on farm returns"
Vinson announced he had d.

method in establishing maximum

Bv WENDELL WILLKIE.

Under the leadership of Lincoln,
In the fires of Civil War, the Repub-
lican partys struggle to save the
Union was tranSpoSed into the
great moral issue of human free
dom. BY the emancipation procla-
nation and by amendments to the
Federal Constitution. under Repub-
lican leadership, the Negro was
legally and constitutionally guaran-
teed exactly the same rights as
every other citizen of the United
States.
1t is, therefore. strange that Re-
publicanS, year after year, yield TO
the old States rights argument and
a narrow Interpretation of Federal
power to prevent the passage OF
Federal statutes which constitute
the only practical method by which
the Negros rights can be assured
him.
One of these basic rights is the
right to vote. Another is the right
to live free of the haunting fear and
the too-frequent aCtuality Of mob
violence. The first can be guaran-
teed, under the circumstances exist
ing today, only by a Federal statute
eliminating State poll taxes and
other arbitrary prohibitions against
the free exercise of the voting fran
chise; the other only by a Federal
statute making the crime of lynch
ing tryable in Federal courts and
punishable by Federal law.
Opposes Poll Tax.
The Republican party in its plat
form and in the declarations of its
candidates should commit itself un-
equivocally and specifically to Fed
eral antipoll tax and antilynching
statutes.
The Negro people of the United
States understandable refuse to &C
cept the technical arguments against
cloture in the debates on antipoll
tax and antilynching bills, or even
the sincere claims of constitutional
ism which prevent such just measures
from becoming law. And the very
fact that the Republican party was
the instrumentality through which
the Negroes were given freedom
makes them the more resentful that
1t should join in acts which prevent
them from obtaining the substance
of freedom
Nor will they be satisfied by the
counsels of patience and the assur-
ances of kindly men that progress
has been made, that eventually,
through fair treatment and CO.
operative effort. Negroes will In some
distant day obtain the rights which
the Constitution itself guarantees to
them.
No one who has not stopped seeing
and thinking could have missed the
events of the past few years that
have drawn together 13,0O0. 900
Americans-one tenth of the Ma
tion-into a determined, purposeful
unit.
