From The Mound Bayou (Miss) News Digest

Hate and prejudice are twin witches who often at
tach themselves in the minds of individuals The broth
they brew in the mind deadly to straight thinking
any poison could be to the body Those who harbor
these witches refuse to acknowledge facts which would
dprOve the stated for their hate and prejudice
People afflicted with hate eventually reach stage where
they become incapable of applying acknowledged facts
properly in respect to the objects of their Event
ually they bring about their own downfall
Hitler hates everyone but some Germans Hitlers pref
udice against all but blue eyed and blonde haired people
has him the conclusion that only such should
live, He therefore, sets out to rob and eXermnae all who
in his opinion not Aryan. Everyone knows
where his hate and prejudice is leading him and his fol-
lowers.
The japanese hate the white man. This he camouflag-
ed for number of years They at last have let the world
know where they stand Everyone knows where their hate
and prejudice is leading themto ultimate destruction or
national suicide.
There are lots more people in the United States who
are sympathy with Hitler ideas than is commonly be-
eved What keeps them from showing fully their true
coors is their knowledge that the overwhelming majority
of the American people though Aryan themselves are
too Christian and too human to permit the practice OF Hit
doctrines in this country Before the how
ever, will in this country many fanatic and cum
ming Hitler That they doomed to failure
all know but those whose minds deadened by the views
OF Hltler-lke and prejudice
Fortunately for the Negro, group he is peculiar
y free from hate and prejudice He has embraced Christi
anity thoroughly that these evils find fertile soil
in him which to feed. One finds few Negroes indeed
who will allow themselves to become bitter either act
nal or fancied wrongs.
In the immediate months and probably few years
ahead the Negro needs to be more careful to keep
his feet the ground his mind clear his pulse cam and
further he needs to stay from those centers where
the Gerald Smiths and others of like ilk have brewed
broth of hate and prejudice which will surely lead to trou
BILE.
Such Negroes feel the urge to leave home should
burn their bridges behind them The day not afar
off when it will be most satisfactory feeling indeed,
when knows he raise in peace his hogs his chick
ems his and other food for his nOurshment and
strength
Those of who have lived in the South all lives
realize that the average white is really our friend
In the days ahead and of them will step in the
pathway of those who hate and prejudice would disturb
the fine relationship which exists between most of u.s. The
real South is determined than to attain
the economic which its climate the fertility of it's
soil and the brain and labor of the working for the
good hold for it, The day of the demagogue and
batter is definitely the The South is

Many Negro American SOL

ONE OF THE FOUR "planks

afford to Cult protesting forces

HULL APPEALS FOR ORGANIZED PEACE

i WASHINGTON, Apr 10.-(AP ! Secretary of State Cordell Hull in fighting for a postwar policy of international collaboration anc "organized peace appealed to the ] Amer can people not to let con l troversies during election veal . create disunity and destroy the i effectiveness of world affairs and foreign policy
 His summation was the most detailed made by an official since the start of the war, and was built on the assumption that Br.t- ain. Russia China and the United States would cooperate in peace as we'll as in war.
 Hull said. eff not there is no hope of avoiding another great conflict with n the next 25 years. "
 To the enemy, Secretary Hull declared .sThere will b enc com promise with Nazism and Fascism, they must go from the earth.
 And he added. 'sThe enemy leaders can expect no negotiated peace, no compromise and no op- portunity to return to power
 Among other points he said the French Committee for National Liberation should be given every opportunity to organize the civil government of France under the supervision of General Dwight D. Eisenhower. but the committee would not be the government of France and cannot be recognized as such
 Hull warned the neural na- tions: You must cease aiding our enemy"
 He mentioned none specifically, but left no doubt that he meant every nation on the rim of Flu rope. including Sweden, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. and said:
 "The allied strength has grown to the point where it is on the verge of great events which must develop their absolute confi- dence',
 Hull made a plea of tolerance and understanding of the or
