through this delegation. The com
mittee used every political expe-
diency at their command to put
our delegation at ease and make
us feel that our demands would
be respected. Yet in the final
draft of the platform we are able
to find little evidence that the
Democrats felt obligated to bid
for the Negroes vote. The plat
form committee, instead of adopt
ing a plank, or planks to insure
Negro voters a hope of attaining
vestige of their rights under a
fourth term for the party, rather
they almost completely ignored
our delegations plea. Instead of
plank they hold out a mere
splinter" on which they ask 13
millions of Negroes to stand. This
splinter" placed in the Demo-
cratic platform reads as follows:
I'VE believe that racial and re-
ligious minorities have the right
to live. develop and vote equally
with all citizens and share the
rights that are guaranteed by our
Constitution. Congress should
exert its full constitutional power
to protect those rights"
Believe it or not that is all
there is in the platform relating
to Negroes. You will note that
the statement does not express
a position vigorous conviction
backed up by a party pledge. 1t
begins with I'VE believe" We all
believe, but what are the Demo-
Gratis willing to do about it is
what Negro voters want TO know.
Close to the Negro voters
heart is his economic welfare.
He wants a fair opportunity to
earn his livelihood by the sweat
of his brow. Are the Democrats
concerned about this? Evidently
not. if we must Judge from their
labor plank. Read this:
Enactment of such additional
Legislation as time and expert
ence may require, including the
amendment or repeal of any
existing law which has failed to
accomplish its purpose"
That is the Democratic labor
plank. It makes no commit
ments or pledges. What the
labor plank says is expected of
any Congress under any admins
tration. Frankly, I can see little
hope for the future ofthe Negro
if we are to be guided by the
Democratic platform.

watched so suspicously as the
one that S rising to Leadership.
The treatment of the Negro
is the greatest barrier to Anne
rica's moral leadership. 1t has
been tremendously publicized.
This is particularly true in Asia
where Japan has used our short
comings as one of the main
themes in its anti-American pro-
paganda. But it is also true
in Europe, particularly in Soviet
Russia. For its international
prestige, power, and future Sc
curity, America must demon
strate to the world that its Ne
groes can be made part of its
democracy.
In a way, then, the Negro
problem is not only Americas
greatest failure, but also its
greatest opportunity. America
has a great moral tradition. 1t
has always stood for equality,
freedom and liberty. 1t has a
great national experience in
uniting racial and cultural di-
versities. If it can show that
justice, equality and cooperation
are possible between the white
and black races, Dr. Myrdal de-
clares that Americas prestige
and power would rise tremen-
dously The century-old
dream of American patriots. that
America should give the entire
world its own freedoms and It's
own faith, would come true e.
And America would have a spir-
itual power many times stronger
than all her financial and mill
tary resources-the power of the
trust and support of all good
people on earth"

The plans are included in a
provision in the rivers and hsr-
borS act calling for the dredg-
ing of the Savannah river four
feea. deeper for distance OF
three miles north of the Sea-
board Airline railroad bridge.
AT a cost Of 100000 this pro-
poSal would make the river 30
feet deep for a total of 80 miles
from the sea.
Also under consideration is a
Savannah Poort Authority Plan.
This plan includes the dredg-
ing Of the river 10 a depth Of "a
feet for the first 26 miles from
the sea. The plan is now before
r. F. Rhodes, chief of the river
and harbor engineering division
at Savannah, who estimated the
cost at approximately three and
one-quarter million dollars.
All of the work connected
with the Improvement of the
harbor and channel is not in the
postwar era, engineers pointed
out. The harbor maintenance
crew tolls daily to keep the silt
from accommodating on the riv-
er's floor above the 30-foot
depth level.
The crew operates a hopper
dredge and three pipe / n e
dredges that work up and down
the river pumping out the mud
at an annual cost of some $780,

According 10 maintenance en-
gineer w. M. Lucas, the dredges
pull 10 million cubic yards Of
dirt annually from the river bed.

Supervisor for Macomb County.
The loans bear 5 per cent in
terest and are usually repayable
