The Future Belongs To Liberalism

John Does the world over.
In BOTH PARTIES
Enemies of progress lurk witt
long knives in both Democratic
and Republican ranks. No one par
ty has monopoly on dle-hafdS
This is a fact that so many party
adherents on both slGes seem &c
forget.
Republicans who point long
fingers at BilbO and Rankin,
Rryd and COnnally and say
Look, that is the Democratic
uarty" are as far from the
truth as Democrats who con-
tend that Vandenburg and Taft,
Pew and Hoover are the Re-
publican party. Both more or
less balance their books on the
score of conservatism.
Liberalism can no longer look
TO party labels; it must follow men
and measures. That its cause has
been immeasurably strengthened
under the guiding hand Of the pre-
sent administration, no one can
deny.
Best proof of this fact was the
peculiar position in which the re-
dictionaries found themselves at
Chicago. They wanted Harry Tru-
man far less than did those who
were campaigning so vigorously Tor
Henry A. Wallace.
What they really wanted was
one of the boys who stood I'M
mistakably in their corner.
Someone like War Mobilization
Director James F. Byrnes of
South Carolina, or Senator
Harry r. Byrd of Virginia or
Senator Bankhead of Alabama.
These were the boys who could
really speak the language of
special privilege and vested in
terests. They were the bright
haired hopes of conservatism.
The name of Byrnes was sent up
as a trial balloon. The balloon
burst in mid-air almost before IL
was blown up. The forces OF lib
eralism as represented by the coali-
ton of the National Political Ac-
ton Committee, Negro delegates
and progressive-thinking members
of the party with one loud chorus
said, mo"
REJECTED
One after another the conser-
natives were trotted out orly to be
rejected by the progressive dele
gates, determined that no reac-
tionary should be allowed to ride
to victory on Mr.. Roosevelt's coat
tails.
In desperation, they brought
out Truman, whose chief crime
is that he is SO little known.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1944-08-05

But liberalism, like truth cannot
be permanently trammeled into
the earth. 1t is this sombre fact
that goads the conservative race
haters, labor baiters, isolationists
and world imperalists into such a
! last stage battle of desperation.
The defeat of Henry A. Wallace
| in his bid for denomination as vice
president was but one sign OF this
futile effort to halt the swinging
of the pendulum toward social JUS
tice and economic and political
equality. He is a living, breathing
symbol of the philosophy which
has been sweeping the world for
the past decade.
CUT DOWN SYMBOL
Those who sharpened their
knives for Mr.. Wallace foolishly
thought that by cutting down the
symbol they would with one stroke
uproot the deep-seated craving OF
all the worlds little peoples for

The driving of Wendell Will
kie from his rightfuI position
as tituIar head of the Repub-
lican Party was another sign.
The same forces who plotted
in smOke-flled rooms behind
hotel doors the political death
of Mr.. Willkie, went through
the same sinister conferences
to bring about the removal of
Mr.. Wallace.
They were determined at the
cost of defeating the will of the
people, tired of political bossism.

Actually so strong was the Me-
GATIVE power of liberalism with
in the Democratic Party In Chi
cago, the only hope the conserVa-
tives had of beating Mr.. Wallace,
the symbol of liberalism was TO
match him against man, whom
none can label even as a semi
conservative.
CAUSE FOR HOLE
This should give the forces OF
progress renewed hope. In one
short year the National Political
Action Committee has become a
power that political BOSSES en-
trenched for a half century. found
extremely formidable. One needs no
great imagination to envls1on what
could be done within the next four
years if this can be accomplished
with the brief space of twelve
months.
That this trend toward liber-
alism fOrebOdes a new political
era for Negroes in America
goes without question. For the
first time in history $4,000 vOt-
ed in the Texas and Arkansas
primaries. Shortly forty times
$4,000 will be fully enfranchised
in Georgia, alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, South Carolina and
Louisiana as well.
The pendulum is swinging and
all the wrath and fury OF those
who detest those things for which
our democracy stands, cannot pre-
vail against it. For true words were
being spoken by Henry A. Wallace
when he braved the scorn of the
race-haters and labor baiters to
declare: 1.-THE future belongs to
those who go down the line I'M
swervingly for liberalism regard
less of race, color or creed or reli-
gion."
And the future of liberalism IS
the future of the Negro. Small
wonder that those who would pre-
serve the racial status quo in a
world of change, rage and fume S
futilely against its coming to pass

Supplies, equipment and mate rials are 'piped" to our boys at the front in an almost direct and continuous stream.
 From the stockpiles, through the small factories, then through the main and larger factories and assembly plants to the finished product, which is then transport ed in intending streams of trains, trucks, trailers, and riverboats to the various supply depots throughout the country.
 The next valve or control sta tion in our pipline is the port of authorization where the ''pipe" composed of continuous columns of conveyed ships of the merchant marine, carry the needed mater ials to base supply depots behind the fronts.
 From these base supply depots subdivisions are made in the "pipeline" which lead to advanc- ed supply depots near the fronts, from where the supplies are tap ped to various areas and divisions on the front and again ''piped" long wi h the advancing forces by armored units and truck com panies.
 This huge network of "pipe- lines will eventually spell vic tory for the allies.
 Soon some of the most import ant sections of the "pipeline" will be shortened to the extent that they will save valuable time, when ports now in the hands of the enemy will be put in order and used as ''manifolds" to main SUD- ply depots nearer the front.
 American industry, ''piped" to the front, will certainly overpower the enemy.

the recent session of the provin- cial Parliament, the minister of mines is carrying on a vigorous adVer ising campa. .gn which seeks to secure applications for grub stakes.
 Not only experienced prospec tors are sought but inexperienced applicants are invited to take course in prospec- ing and hand mining before venturing into the field. Quoting from, recent adver- tising copy:
 'If sufficient applications are received from inexperienced men wishing to qualify as prospectors, one Or more training camps may be established where they will be given a sixweeks' course in pros pecting and hand-mining under competent instructors. At the end of the course the trainees will go out in the field and prospect un- der the supervision of a qualified mining engineer. They will then receive the $500 grubstake the same as experienced prospectors.
 ''These grubstakes are to be considered as bonus and not as wages. The government does not retain any interest in any finds made under the Prospectors' Grubstake Act.
 In addition to the $500 grub stake, travelling expenses up to S200 will be advanced when it is found advisable to move a pros pector from one part of the Prov ince to another. Qualifications are: British citizenship, residence in British Columbia for 12 months preceding date of application, or honorable discharge from one of the military services. Applicants for grubstakes must also be under 70 years of age and able to iden- tify ordinary minerals and rocks. The latter is, of course, not re- quired of applicants for training.
 The Alaska Weekly has long urged a similar plan for Alaska. AS transportation facilities make more and more mineralized dis tricts accessible some definite program for assuring that they are prospected by competent men seems almost mandatory. A lot of boys to whom the hardsfips of prospecting will seem by com parison a life of ease will soon, we hope, be looking for an out let for the brain and brawn de- veloped in the army and navy. should prepare to profit from this great well of manpower in building for Alaska's tomor- Weekly.
