Only One COP
Plank On Negro
OK'd By NAACP

New York-Only one plank on
the Negro adopted by the Republi-
can National Convention In its
official platform won any com
mendation from the NAACP. 1t
was the declaration for a perma-
nent FEPC by legislation, Walter
White, NAACP secretary issued
the following statement on the
COP platform:
"The Republican plank pledg-
ing establishment by federal lag
islation of a permanent Fair En-
ployment Practice Committee is
unequivocal and excellent.
"As much cannot be said of the
rest of the platform. The section
dealing with anti-lynching legis-
lation dos not say whether it is
federal state or municipal legis-
lation which the Republicans fay-
or. II federal legislation was
meant, 1t Is utterly futile to adj
vueate legislation unless cloturc Is
also pledged. Negroes and all
supporters Of anti-lynching and
anti-poll tax bills know from bit
ter experience that no such leg
islation can be enacted except by
cloture to end filibustering. We
assume that the trainers of the
platform plank also know this.
1t is impossible to wax en-
thusiastic or to place much hope
in Congressional investigation
of the treatment of Negroes in the
armed forces. By the time such
an investigation could be begun,
and almost surely by the time it
could be finished, the war may
be over. This promised investi-
cation savors too much of the
Republican candidates investi-
eating an investigation of dis
elimination In New York State by
the State Committee on Discrimi-
nation in Employment.
But the most Objectionable OF
all is the proposal for a Consti,
tutional amendment to abolish the
poll tax. 1t takes a two-thirds
vote of both Houses of Congress
to place q Constitutional amend.
ment before the state legislatures
1t requires approval by three.
fourths of the as states. Any
school child knows that If senators
from 10 states can successfully
filibuster, aided directly and in.
directly by certain Northern Re.
publican senators, to prevent q
vote on an anti-poll tax bill which
requires only majority to pass in
the Senate, the power Of the anti
poll tax bloc will be even more
effective when 1t requires a two
thirds vote to enact a Constitu-
tional amendment.
1.-THE same school child knows
that 1t would be many genera
lions, II ever, before the Southern
state legislatures, and perhaps
some Northern and border ones
would ever vote upon, much less
vote favorably for, an anti-poll tax
Constitutional amendment. We
have only to look at the record OF
the fight for the Child Labor
amendment which still has not
been approved after % years OF
effort, Intelligent opponents OF
the poll tax, especially Negroes
will not be deluded by the Re-
publican proposal.
1--WE shall now wait to see what
the Democratic platform will
say"
