is at the mercy of the calculating few. The Political
Action Committee can help take politics out of the
Darkroom and focus bright new light upon our
political affairs.
We recognize the strong opposition to PAC
which comes from big business. For generations
the manufacturers and financiers Of our country
have modified their resources to shape and control
our government for their own interests The record
of their activities in the field of politics is open to
all who doubt it. Now that working men and women
are organizing their meager resources to shape our
political future the merchant princes are crying
out that democracy is being threatened. The big
boys are alarmed for it was through their influence
in politics and government that many of them be-
came big and grew bigger year in and year out
Perhaps the new interest taken by workers in
politics will 60 far to counterfeit the oppressive in
fluence of the big boys on our government At
least PAC can educate the people and make them
aware of the issues before the nation and keep
watch over office-holders who dictate public policy
The liberal and democratic character of the CLIO
gives us added assurance that PAC will stress those
ideals of fairplay and equality which means so much
to Negro America.
We hail the creation of permanent Political
Action Committee by the Clio and we urge the
Negro membership of Organized Labor to play their
full part in it's activities. Politics is everybodys
business and hope that PAC will make it so, not
only in the North but in the deep South where Ne
groes and poor whites are disfranchised and where
democracy has had the least chance to grow and
bear fruit The PAC can help bring Dixie back
into the union and depose those hoary prophets of
the old order who sigh wistfully for the return of
the foul splendor of the slavocracy their parents
once knew.

ETHIOPIA'S PLEA

The work of the weary little monarch of ETH
opia is never done He fought long and hard to de-
liver his country from out of the hands of lis
enemies and now, we learn on good authority, he is
fighting to deliver his country from out of the hands
of his friends According to we'll informed column
st Drew Pearson, King Halle Selassie is desperately
trying to persuade the British to quit his kingdom
in accord with their original agreement: But the
British have taken another view.
Last week Mr.. Pearson stated that the Lion
Of judah had appealed to the United States State
Department in final effort to make the British
live up to their promise to quit his country in two
years. He reminded the State Department that the
seeds of the present war were sown by a nation
which coveted his kingdom. Further this war,
King Selassie insists, is being fought for world
freedom and the gallant Philippians who fought and
died for the homeland have made their sacrifices
in vain if Ethiopia remains under the rule of an
other power.
Perhaps this is delicate subject for an Anglo
American conference. Nevertheless we are sure
that freedom loving people all over the world feel
deep sympathy for the Ethiopian King who cannot
get rid Of his friends, now that his enemies are de-
feated. The British attitude toward the Africans
is of the most dscouraging aspects of the inter-
national scene. We hope that our state department
will not let this matter rest After all, American
boys, and whole lot of black ones, are fighting in
this war along with Britain and we have respon-
sibility for international order. If the State De-
partmen does not act in the legitimate interests of
Ethiopia and other small countries there is going
to be trouble sooner or later Let us take the stitch
in time.

The announcement from Chicago last week that
the Congress of Industrial Organization had voted
in convention to continue the Political Action Com
mittee which played so significant part in the
recent campaign was cheered throughout the coun-
try by workers, white and black. Sidney Hman,
who suffered more abuse than any candidate in the
election, was handsomely rewarded for his untiring
efforts by the unanimous vote of confidence given
him and PAC by the Clio delegates
The educational character Of the Political
Action Committee which seeks to rally the general
citzenry to their civic responsibilities will inevitably
broaden the base of our democracy and make it lit

by the people and for the people" The quality of
our citizenship bears direct relationship to the
