Attack BigOtry

~ warning THAT history may re-
peat itself in racial and religious
strife after the war" was made
by the two speakers at a Round
Table for Christians and Jews at
the regular monthly meeting of
the Parent Teachers Association
in the Maxield School, st. Albins
and St. Anthony Avenue, St. Paul,
Monday night.
That history may repeat itself is
in such things as happened recently
indicated in such things as hap
pened recently in the state legis-
lature of South Carolina, asserted
Rev. Clarence Nelson, the Protes-
tant representative, when he re-
ferred to the white supremacy"
resolution adopted by the solons
of that state. The resolution
demanded that "henceforth the
damned agitators of the North
leave the South alone" in inter-
racial relations, and reafirmed "our
belief in our allegiance to establish
white supremacy"
The myth of racial superiority
is just as false in South Carolina
or anywhere else in this country as
1t is in Hitler's Germany" the Cam
phor Methodist church pastor de-
clared. Hitler has put forth the
theory, which is in reality a myth,
Of super Aryan white race and has
almost exterminated the Jew in
Germany, whom he regards as non
Aryan and inferior. In the South
especially and in reality all over
America there has been promulgated
the myth of white superiority, with
its Siamese twin, white supremacy.
Unless this false dogma of racial
ism is abandoned on a much larger
scale than is apparent, history will
repeat itself in a greater outburst
of racial and religious disturbances
after the war is over" Rev. Nelson
said.
The continued discrimination and
mistreatment of Negroes in the
armed forces of the nation was
scored by the Camphor pastor. He
told the mixed audience of Negroes
and whites that history was re-
peating itself in the matter of the
treatment of the Negro soldier in
this war. Negro soldiers met Ameri-
can made prejudice in France dur
ing World War l just as he is
meeting it today in England, and
elsewhere.
Andrew J. Bratter, assistant
Ramsey county attorney and the
Jewish representative, said that he
agreed with everything Rev. Nelson
had said. Mr.. Bratter scored the
Ku Klux Khan and other subversive
organizations that have prosecuted
the Jews, Catholics, Negroes and
other minorities. Here in America
we must learn to appreciate our
racial and religious differences and
and stand out for the rights of
every individual, regardless of
race, creed or color" he declared.
The Catholic representative was
unable to appear.

France Enters the Fold

liberated country in Europe to be
spared the ordeal of Communist dis
orders and uprisings in the process
Of liberation.
They were not NECESSARY in
France.
Stain already had a dependable
and hand picked government in
France.
Thus, France takes her place in
the Russian sphere of influence
which is being expanded as fast as
the tide of German conquest recedes.
GONE of the more privileged ma
- tons such as France and Czecho
Slovakia-are being permitted to
enter the Russian sphere under
treaty arrangements protesting to
recognize their sovereignty.
Other nations, unwilling to enter
it but poWerless to resist it, are being
taken in by force of arms.
Still others neither willing nor power
less. are being subjected to the familiar
Communist practices of subversion and
anarchy.
Belgium and Greece are currently in
the last category.
Even Great Britain may be considered
in it, as the recent British Labor party con-
ference frankly disclosed.
"Fet0 of us can doubt that it is the
duty of The Labor party to support Mr..
Churchill until Uictory IN Europe is both
overwhelming and complete" said the
conference.
But we must then seek from the peo-
pie Of Britain decisive and Independent
electoral authority to enter in the fullest
tOay zoe can upon the great task
Of building the SOCIALIST COMMON
WEALTH."
The tire is past when It may be prop
erly said that Soviet Russia is DREAM
ING of vast Communist empire in
Europe Premier Stain is not dreaming,
but thoroughly awake and alert.
He has already extended the physical
borders Of Russia 10 the Arctic through
Finland. and has extended the theological
borders OF Russia 10 the Mediterranean
through Yugoslavia and Greece and to the
Atlantic through France.
The character Of Europe. so long con-.
sidered matter for postwar determination
10y sovereign peoples, is being shaped
NOW and those who do not see that it is
COMMUNIST pattern are either blind to
the facts or parties to them.

Thomas Jefferson IN q letter TO
James Currie in 1786.
No>totalitarian government that
ever existed has permitted freedom

On the other hand, wherever
speech and the written word have
enjoyed freedom there has existed
free, democratic government.
That is a law that has never adj
mitted of any exceptions. 1t is as
memorable as the law of gravitation.
It is heartening, then, to note that
while the totalitarian state, in one
form or another, moves with giant
strides over the earth three voices
were raised oh the same day in the
United States demanding that free
dom of the press and freedom of the
airWaves be jealousy guarded.
THE American Society of News
L paper editors, in session in Wash
ington, proposed that the United
States enter into agreement with all all
other governments to provide for a
universal uncensored press.
The society appointed a delegate
-to-Nisit various world capitals to
confer with government officials and
press and radio executives with a
view to abolishing postwar censor
ship on all news.
There will be no peace in this
world unless censorships over news
dispatches are abolished.
What is deliberately hidden from
the people of a country and from the
world at large eXcites suspicion.

THE Soviet Russian and French
l. governments have signed a treaty
Of alliance and mutual assistance"
which is the climax of long series
of related events.
It will be recalled that when
Cen. Charles De Gaulle established
his provisional regime in North
Africa two years ago, it was granted
formal diplomatic recognition by
Russia as the legal government of
France - although neither Great
Britain nor the United States fol
lowed suit.
It was not until the actual liberia
zion of France was underway and
assured that Great Britain and the
United States granted recognition to
the De Gaulle government, and even
then it was done reluctantly and
under considerable pressure.
The British and American view
point had been that France, being
democratic nation, was entitled TO
an opportunity TO establish its own
government as soon as liberation was
accomplished and that it was not
the business or the right Of other
nations, even those accomplishing
the liberation, to interfere in the
matter.
HOWEVER, Premier Stain of
II Soviet Russia had a different
viewpoint.
His only concern was that the
government Of France should be &C
eeptable to HMM other words,
DOMINATED by him
The De Gaulle regime was clearly
acceptable TO Stain, as its early rec
ignition by Russia proved
Subsequent events have fallen
-moothly into that pattern
The De Gaulle government has
fulfilled the expectations of Stain
If not an actual bargain with Stain
TO the LAST detail
Although the liberation of France
is not attributable to a single Russian
act being accomplished entirely by
American and British enterprise-
De Caulle has bound his government
to Russia as almost his first Official
act.
Significantly, France is the only
