The Republican Party And The Negro Vote

Since the National Republican Convention in Chicago

Governor of New York Hon. Thomas E. Dewey man,

States, with the successful Governor of Ohio Hon. John
w. Brcker his mate and the subsequent pub

Republican Partys chances of capturing the nations Ne

Most of the conjecture and discussion appears to be
based upon that portion of the partys platform dealing
with the Negro question The assumption being that Ne

which Immediately affect the Negro Race the Anti
Poll Tax issue, An-L ynchng and other such type po

closer study of the Negro voters of the country will
also reveal equally great amount of interest in the
questions relating to the future industrial economic and
social life OF all the people OF the nation Questions which
arise out of the consideration of Postwar industrial and
economic planning, the development of public work
gram the issue of the extent to which the government
should exercise controls the nations business
to prevent such disastrous depression that
which the nation experienced in the early thrties and
the preservation and improvement of the legislative pat

all the people of the nation.
On those issues over which the majority opinion seems

Dewey himself, seems to be playing the with the

to the beach almost more than
any thing. Some G.. rs, not such

anxious to fight in the way in

on hard ground.
"Ahead of us lay the deadly
maze of underwater obstacles,

Great iron pronged spikes jutted

below water. Attached to these
logs were mines dangling from
barbed wire. Preliminary bomb
ing and advanced demolition par
ties had made little Roadway to-
wards eliminating this mess, so
there was nothing to do but
weave our way shoreward and
pray. On the way in we saw
craft on either flank hopelessly
hung up on these obstacles, and
hoped that Oris would not be
among them.
"As we crashed through the
minefields we first thought the
beach would be a pushover. Not
a shot was fired. The defenders.
had a deadly effective trick of
holding fire until we lowerd one
ramp and the Yanks started to
charge. AT tnat moment, sitting
as a stationary target, they let
loose with streams of machine
gun bullets which brutally NOW
ed down some soldiers as they
struggled towards the beach
through waist deep water"
The Coast Guardsman told
how snipers had hidden nests on
the forward slopes with cross
fire taking in every inch of the
beach, and how farther they had
concrete gun emplacements from
where they directed 88 MILL
meter shells over them in incom-
ing LANDING boats.

watching 88's lob overhead was
the most terrifying experience
we've ever had.
"On the beach we could see

Hull To Preside

The petroleum conference scheduled to be
held in Washington presumably in the near
future between American and British interests
ranks among the most important gathering
of minds to deal with vital postwar prob
lem. Development of Near East fields, con-
struction of one major and several minor pipe
lines, spheres of influence and other related
subjects will be under discussion. With British
and American operating companies holding
concessions, it will be necessary to work out
an operating program in which, hopefully, this
countrys interests will be upheld more sue
cessful1y than they have been in past COM
petition with British interests.
This appears to be more likely by reason
of the fact that Secretary Of State Cordell
Hull is to preside instead Of Secretary of the
Interior Harold Ickes, who will attend not by
virture of his cabinet portfolio but as petrole-
UNI coordinator, an office having no Constitu-
tonal standing and existing only by admins
trative decree
The United States and interested American
petroleum operators will be in a more favor
able position with Mr.. Hull, who has the con-
1Qence OF the natlOn ana OF the BRUSH con-
ferees, as chairman than would be possible
under Mr. Ickes Craftsmanship. While Mr.. Hull
is Seer etary of State and with the Senate
cooperation is the Constitutional agent for the
negotiation of treaties, Mr.. Ickes as petrole-
UNI coordinator has no such power and func-
tons merely as a bureaucratic dictator He
has no authority to act for the Government
of the United States in transactions with an
other government.
Whatever the outcome Of the petroleum con-
ferences. we will have reason to be grateful
that they are to be conducted by Mr.. Hull.

The people of this country must decide what

Robert B. Dresser stated the issue clearly
when he said: NECESSARILY involved in this
controversy as to taxes is the question OF
whether our system of free enterprise is to
be replaced by national socialism. UnGer free
enterprise the capital required to provide jobs
is furnished by the Individual, and ownership
OF the business is in him. Under socialism the
capital is furnished by the government, and
it becomes the owner

armed forces have been pictured as an aveng-
ing band that will take over and punish the
slack and selfish civilians for whom they SUI
fered and fought
Most of us have heard all these fears, and
uttered some of chem. They add up to grave
problem that cannot be dismissed lightly or
settled easily. But there is one beginning to
solution. Loose talk can be as dangerous in
the coming peace as it is now. These paralyz-
ing fears grow only with repetition. They can
subside only if enough people refuse to be-
lieve, repeat and embellish them.
It won't be easy, and it can only be done
with conscious effort. We are stuffed with pre-
JUDGES. But we have ample evidence in our
past history, and in our current plans for the
future, to quiet our fears. And we can stop
telling ghost stories
