LOCAL POLITICS

To put il mildly, we were very well pleased
with the results of the election last week The eX-
ceptionally good run made by the Reverend Charles
A. Hill in all precincts of the city the commanding
lead won by George Edwards, and the fine support
tant signpost for the future More and more cti-
zens beginning to cast their lot with the liberal
and progressive forces in the community despite the
dire warnings of the downtown Bosses
Our satisfaction over the primary results,
however does not blind to the fact that the strug-
gle to elect these liberal candidates less than half
won. Experience has taught us that the bosses will
not give up their tightfisted control of the munich
pal government without terrific battle Further
these tories will use any device, no matter how scan
dalous, to retain their control
Before the primary we expressed the hope that
the candidates and their supporters would try to
conduct clean contest. We are happy to be able
to report that the primary election was. conducted
in an exemplary fashion. If the candidates nom
mated keep their campaigns on the same high level
in the general election, Detroiters will remain at
peace with one another and the best judgment of
the electorate will prevail
Back-door politicians predict that we are in
for repetition Of the disgraceful contest of two
years ago We sincerely hope they are dead wrong
Dragging in false and inflammatory issues in the
coming campaign can only serve to create tension
and open old wounds in the body polite While it
may be too much to expect that the candidates who
raised the banner of hate two years ago have been
completely reformed, we hope that the cizenry vii!
refuse to listen to hymns of hate this time

THE BADGE OF A BUM

According to the news commentators a great
and growing body of Americans of all races and
creeds are anxious to put the squeeze on foul
mouthed Senator Bilbo of Mississippi There have
come forth demands for his impeachment and some
say that the To-Hell-Wth- Bilbo" clubs have run
out of membership cards Catholic Jewish and
Italian organizations have condemned him and
large bloc of the so-caed protestant native whites
in the South are disguised with his antics
We are gratified by the development of this
almost universal contempt for the crack-brained
Mississippan who has done much to injure the
prestige Of the Congress and the pretensions of our
democracy. This development has, however, an in
teresting history
For many years Bilbo was content to throw his
verbal block busters almost exclusively in the direc
ton ofcOlored people. Negrobaiting was his stock
n-trade. Gradually the big-mouthed mountebank
began 10 broaden his attack to include other minor
ties. Now there are very few Americans who are
not damned by the professional hate-monger. Like
good fascist. he has u ID Negro-baiting a
sprng-board to launch campaign Of hate against
al minority groups
When Bbo confined his fire to Negroes many
white Americans saw no cause for alarm. They
regarded him much like some Germans regarded
Hitler in the early days when tn paper-hanger
made bid for power by Jew-baiting. We have
long held that Negro-baitng is the opening wedge
for fasclsm in America Just as Jew, batting opened
the door for fascsm in Germany 1t is the fascist
techniqGe 20 seize upon popular prejudice in a
country and use II as weapon to divide and con-
fuse the people prejudice against Negroes is very
popular in this democracy
Those white Americans who laugh at the
Negro-baiters in and out of Congress do not fully
realize the potential menace which this anti-Negro
propaganda holds for America They fail to see
that those who see power through program of
hate will not long be content to coHfine their hate
to one minority group. Emboldened by success
against one group, the fascist always seeks other
fields to conquer.
In short, the fascist will use everything within

THE COMING PEACE

For all practical purposes our victory over the
Japanese is in the bag Although our shenanlgans
with Emperor Hirohito have raised some question,
they will probably be answered to the satisfaction
of all in due time - including the one about the
disposition of Hirohitos white horse.
The bloody Job of bringing the Japanese to their
knees was unquestionably speeded up by the use
of the atomic bomb and the Russian declaration of
war. Historically the use of atomic power may
loom more important than any other development
in this whole war period. The discoveries of scien-
fists have changed the course of history before and
il may well be that this latest discovery will pro-
foundly affect our civilization, for better or worse
While the coming peace cheers the heavy hearts
Of the people who have suffered and sacrificed so
much for SO long, the days of peace will bring new
and greater problems TO our country Inc Negro
people have made a magnificent and glorious con-
tributon to this war for freedom Many brave Ne
gro lads lie buried today in foreign SOIL having paid
the supreme sacrifice for love of their native land.
More than this no nation can ask nor can any man
give
Nevertheless, our troubles are not over and the
future will require the same resolution and intelli
gence that have been necessary for the successful
prosecution of this war. The freedoms for which
our boys fight will not come automatically nor will
any other gains which have been promised The end
of hosttes will only mean that the decks are clear
for progressive action toward the fulfillment OF
the announced aims Of the military struggle
Full employment, adequate housing, fair en-
ployment practices, unlimited suffrage civil liber
ties be achieved by our people only if we work
toward that end. These things will not be handed
to- us on a silver platter as reward for faithful
service in the cause Of democracy We will have to
join hands with the little people of America regard
less of color and work together toward rich and
abundant life for all. We must build the century
of the common man.

his grasp to achieve his ends BY playing upon the
various racial and religious hatreds in America our
country can be made into madhouse in which the
biggest fool will have the best chance to rule the
roost Bilbo is symbol of an evil force against
which we must always be on guard Negro-baiting
may be funny to some Americans but it is the badge
of bum. Enough such buns can destroy the prom
Uses Of republic and pave the way for the rise of
fascism. Race-baiting in any form is the mortal
foe Of democracy.
