Both the Republican and
Democratic parties acknowledge
ed the popularity Of Roosevelt's
stand against racial discrimina-
ton in employment by favoring
continuation of the work Of the

mittee.
So it might have been as
sumed that If anything was safe
in this Congress It was FEPC.
Instead, a stubborn minority
has so far been able to block
and endanger a program which
the great majority of Congress
is pledged to support.
The anti-FEPC minority OF
pontax Democrats has been able
to do this by preventing a dem
ocratic vote.
It has prevailed on the Appro-
priations Committee to deny
funds to the present FEPC on
the grounds that legislation for
a permanent FEPC is pending.
At the same time the polltax-
ers on the Rules Committee
have prevented the bill for a
permanent FEPC from being re-
ported out:
BY themselves, the small mi
nority of polltax Democrats
could not indefinitely obstruct
the will of the majority Of Con-
gresS. BIT there is evidence Of
at least passive collision on the
| part of tory Republicans.
For, at the time of writing,
only 10 Republicans have signed
the discharge petition which is
the only means of getting a bill
before Congress when it is
blocked by the Rules Committee.
Repeal Of the polltax is an
other overwhelmingly popular
demand Of the American people.
This is shown by the fact that
the House has for the third time
passed the anti-nolitax bill. this

The whole program Of the CLIO
corresponds closely to the wish
eS and needs of the great ma

What is needed is simply to
mobolize this popular support in
such a way as to overwhelm the
opposition of the reactionary
minority.

LOOKING AHEAD

Seldom have SO many been
thwarted 80 much by so few as
in the case OF the pOII-tax and
FEPC.
These glazing examples of
minority rule will throw some
light on how the wishes of the
majority are denied satisfaction
on other issues as well.
They may even lend encour-
agement to those who fear the
country is not ready for labor's
reasonable demands, by showing
how rotten and himsy is the
dam that blocks the river OF
progress.

time by a vote Of 251 to los.
Each time this bill has fassed
the House betote, it has been
blocked in the Senate, not by an
open vote which all admit would
pass it there too, but by / min
ority f1libuster.
In this, too, the Democratic
polltax minority has had its way
only through the collision of
other Democrats ana Fcpubli-
cans who claim to oppose the
polltax.
For If all the declared anti-
polltaxers would vote fo- cloture,
they could easily squelch fill-
buster.
To pass the anti-polltax and
FEPC bills, therefore, it is only
necessary to get the declared
supporters of both measures to
live up to their election pledges
and insist on action which they
know is desired by the great ma
jority Of the voters.
Any fair test OF public opinion
will reveal an overwhelmingly
demand for continued price con-
troll to keep down living costs
and prevent imitation.
This is recognized in the lip
service paid to price control by
even its worst saboteurS.
The tactics Of the inflationisto
minority therefore are not to
make a frontal assault, which
they would lose, but to attack
the administration of OPA and
cut its funds; and to try to pass
amendments to guarantee high
er profits to various interests.
The profit interests of a mi
nority have taken precedence
over the human interests of the
majority also in reconverSion

For Nursery

A survey by the Child Welfare
Committee OF the Council of Social
Agencies, indicates the need for
the continuation Of the nursery
school at Woodruff School, and ap-
peals will be made to various
civic organizations in an effort to
obtain 1920 per month to enable
the school to operate, the commit
tee revealed today.
There are IS children enrolled at
the school. They have been CLASH
fed in the following manner: 81.
whose mothers must work and
whose fathers are in the armed
service; IL, whose mothers are
widows and must work; six, whose
fathers are unemployed, and whose
mothers provide the sole income;
seven, whose mothers and fathers
are engaged in a family business,
such as a store; one, whose
mother is hospitalized; and nine,
whose fathers and mothers both
work. and whose fathers alone are
unable to provide a sufficient in
come.
From these figures, the commit
tee, which met in Ernest Chapels
office at Ypsilanti High School.
Thursday, determined that the
school was necessary. The COM
mittee decided that a IS fee could
be charged weekly for caring for
the Children, but that an additional
1920 per month would be neces-
sary to conduct the service.

A Spanish government in exile.
headed by former Premier Jose
Giral, has been established In Mexi-
CO after a series OF moves which
at least on the surface-united var

Manuel Tello, acting foreign min
lister of Mexico. said in Mexico City
yesterday bis government had rec
ognized the new exiled regime.
No official word OF that action
has reached Washington. but 1t was
not unexpected here. Other Latin
American countries may follow
Mexico's lead. That might cause
concern about hemisphere unity.
Russian Question
But what really concerns Ameri-
can officials is this: win Russia.
which gave the most aid to Spanish
Republicans during the civil war,
and which never recognized Fran
CO, give its official blessing to the
Spanish government In exile!
II SO, the major Allies in Europe
would face a ticklish situation.
American and British policy to-
ward Franco is negative: neither
government likes him; neither will
permit his regime to Join the Unit
ed Nations.
But both believe II is up to the
Spanish people themselves to get
rid OF Franco, and the hope is that
they do II with ballots, not bullets.
Don't Want War
Neither this country nor England
will take any action that might
plunge Spain into another civil
war; hence. neither will help an
exiled government try to take over
from Franco by force.
On his recent visit to Washing
ton, General Charles de Gaulle as
ISOLATED his provisional French
government with that policy.
But IL Russia we're to recognize
the exiled government. American
officials concede that some Big
