BY JAMES HAWTHORNE


OF Register to Vote Committee
II was shown last week how
the seeds of fascism are sown
and grow in spots where intense
raeism and undemocratic ele-
ments had previously never been.
The Doran Brass Foundry, rs
Horton ST., was. specifically cited
for its part in propagating 'fas-
cist themes" Discrimination on
the basis of race and color is a
fascist theme. Pitting one race
against the other, creating and
fostering racial hatreds is a key
note of fascism. incidentally,
the war the Allies are in against
the Axis to stamp out fascism, as
the Axis is constituted of fascist
nations.
The Doran Brass Foundry, to
satisfy two prejudieed, migrant
white workers, terminated 22 col
ored workers who refused to be
jim crowed in a shower room at
the instance of two white preju-
diced migrant workers whose pre-
JUDGES finally dictated the policy
of an entire war plant. The poll
icy of the plant since the two
started their preaching of race
hatred and prejudice, is discrim-
ination on the basis of color.
