REPUBLICANS, WHAT OF FEPC?

Republican members OF congress, who consistent
ly join with POLL tax and anti-fsooseyelt southern
ors to defeat important legislation, will soon have
another chance to show their colofs But since this
new action which involves he fate OF the FEPc.
viii take place closer to election Negroes arc more
likely to remember who voted which way and Why.
This means simply that since The Republicans
hold the balance Of power IN both house and senate
between white supremacy Southern Democrats. who
vote as a bloc and progressive Northern ProRoosc-
Welt Democrats who also vote as a bloc. the fate OF
the FEPC Is IN the hands OF The Republicans They
can Kill It or save H..
There Will, OF course be disposition to play pol
tiles on the issue Since The FEPc was created by
Roosevelt, its death would be another defeat OF a
Roosevelt measure a further extension OF the party
policy Of criticize and obs,ruci. And there is no
doubt that slick politicians would find some way Of
twisting facts 10 make the gulible black voter be-
leve that the Democrats were responsible.
II is the duty OF realistic Republican Negro lead
ers TO demand that their party members Of con
gress support not only the Marcanionlo and Dawson
Scanon bills TO create permanent FEPC, but that
they also back the budget appropriation recently re-
quested The rank and file voters OF each political
persuasion must do likewise
Concentrated efforts are being made 70 abolish
the FEPC and all Il stands for. The opposition Of
the white supremacy souhcrners is to be expected.
Senator Russell OF Georgia will do his best to block
the requested s5S500o appropriation Representative
Smith. another fee Is head Of a house committee
seeking to knock out the committee The attitude
Of these ard other souherners was foreordained.
It's support. therefore. must come from the north
and east and west where Negroes have say-so in
the election. where people are BIT closer to civil
lization And, II ye judge the future by the past,
most OF the Democrats from these sections will stand
back OF FEPC.
Certain Republicans have already Joined hands

make the task much easier for
the 10000. 600 other taxpayers in
