SOIJTHERNERS FEAR, If ROOSEVELT IS RE ELECTED
THEIR LAW MADE SUPREMACY is DESTROYED


Laboring unde rthe dilemma that if President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt reelected to the office he holds for
fourth term that they will have nobody to be better
than causing southern pseudo Demos to bolt their party
announcing their support for the Dwey Bricker tocket
In all probabilities, the argument for the Republicans
is based the parts past record of Ignoring the Negro
Constitutional rights for southemers state rights Evl-
IDENTIFY it is believed that if the Republicans regain their
hold on thes United States they will continue to ignore the
Injustice the Negro at the hands of the south giving the
south continued power to deal with tn Negro In the future
as she has always done in the past Therefore giving the
souheers the opportunity to continue their boast OF their
law-made supremacy.
On the other hand if Roosevelt survives fourth term
is obvious that supremacy must be made thru one aO
ity and from all Indications and statistical records, the
white man is afraid test his ability with the black man
under an equal status This evident not from the Roose
welt PLATFORM but from his past and present record toward
the Ngro which speaks louder than words. After ALL words
are only thoughts in Disguise
From the liberal stand the President has taken in deal
ing with Americas minority, which is the Negro who is
really deprived of his Constitutional right in the south the
Constitution which guarantees every citizen equal rights
will be enfocd such tim that America will be safe from
being thrown the enemies by souhers who would rather
Hitler ruling than democracy functonng for all citizens
alike
If Mr. Roosevelt is reelected tn Negro stands chance
for equality in education, economical equality equality Of
Justice and political equality Such capabilities in America
the stomacs of most souheers and those who favor
these for ALL afraid to their sentiments for they
know they will be ostracised by their With such
thoughts in southerners mind causing them today to
bolt their party and deounce the who has brought
the party back from the of oblivion.

S0T,HE National Labor ReIs-
l. lions Act Ia . good and

said in his Seattle speech. 1T
acknowledges the trend Of our
times"
Mr.. Dewey's first statement
here Is wrong. The Wagner Act
Is not good but vicious and
therefore certainly not necessary
nor even tolerable in the view OF
any one who speaks with such
hope and promise Of the future.
His second statement is cor
rect. The Wagner Act does ac-
\ knowledge the trend of our
\times and that Is just the
trouble with il. For the trend
which IL acknowledges and ac-
CELEBRATES Is toward totalitarian-
ism and oppression.
I would chance a guess that
Dewey worked harder on the
speech back in his rolling Office
at the rear OF his campaign
train in the nights since we left
Des Moines than on any state-
ment of his position on any
other issue.
The subject is dangerous be-
cause the New Deal propaganda
has deceived even some OF the
most conservative Americans as
10 the true meaning Of the Wag-
ner Act.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I'll
w Our driving, eager army Is
due in Berlin before the Rus
slams.
Not only is the distance
shorter, but the rapidly deteri-
Grating Nazi power facing us,
has been more hastily put to-
gether from the rout in France.
Churchill aired what Is the
prevailing majority impression
among official authorities here
when he said he did not expect
Hitler to surrender, but TO flee
TO the hills with the last bands
he can muster and hold there
as long as possible.
No doubt this is what Hitler
intends. His tactics betray that
purpose. But what he intends
and what may happen can be
different.
TIER furious fuehrer killed
~ most of the more intelligent
army officers who might act
upon their knowledge OF the
wholly lost Nazi cause in the
purge before invasion. He tried
to elevate the fanatics, like
himself.
But daily the situation is OBJ
viously getting more and more
difficult for him TO control Or
ficers and pen will carry mass
suicide Just so far.
The weakness Of the fighting
defense in our front betrays
these symptoms Of the final
decay of Wilhelmstrasse power:
True enough, the Importance OF
our initial penetration of the
Sfegfried Line may have been
exaggerated.
The real military question is
not the collapse, of that line. but
of resistance, and at Aachen for
instance it was strong. Where
we did break through the line
and proceed some miles beyond
the Notifications we still en-
countered many natural strong
points which the fanatics could
defend.
Guessing d late for our ar
rival in Berlin or later at
Berehtesgarten was d eiayed
therefore, by our more compe-
tent military judges until we
probed beyond our Siegfried
penetrations.
TNiE same symptoms of morale
Il decay are becoming increas-
ingly evident among the Japa-
nese, a growing condition which
inspired Gen. MacArthurs ex-
traordinarily optimistic state
ment q few days back.
The fanaticism Of Japan has
been built on the religious power
Of the Samurai. Formerly the
army officer was a god, and now
he might as well be. But in
