AN EDICT AGAINST ARMY JIM CROWISM

The recent edict from Washington ordering the cessa-
ton of racial discrimination in army camps, on buses and
in theatres has brought forth the anticipated vigorous pro-
test from the South. One typical Southern daily, the Mont
gomery (Ala) Advertiser, in its issue Of August 25, makes
this defiant statement:
IF it be said that army orders are something from
which there is no recourse, the people of this community
would have it understood that even army orders, even
armies, even bayonets, cannot force impossible and unnat-
ural social relationships upon us. 1t has been tried before
and failed. 1t will fail if tried again.
Orders from Army headquarters seeking at this late
date in the war to make whites and blacks mingle on a
basis of social equality at the restaurant tables on the mill
tary posts or camps of this state can have no other effect
than to cause friction which has been happily absent dur
ing the three years Of the war up to this time"
These editorial views Of the Montgomery Advertiser
generally express white public sentiment IN the South.
Not only in the South, but in most other parts of the coun-
try, Negro soldiers in camps have been subject to segre-
CATION and jim Crowism in various forms. This treatment
has not helped the morale of Negro servcemen, but the
practice has prevailed up to the present time, even in many
camps outside of the South.
Negro soldiers are fighting for the same country that
white Americans are fighting to defend. Both are Ameri-
cans and both are wearing the nations military uniforms.
Enemy bullets draw no color line, why should military
regulations do SO?
Washington has issued the edict against Jim Crowism
in Army camps. Will the order be enforced, or is it just
another order issued for political e~xpediency on the eve Of
the Presidential elections
