LONG WAY TO GO
In emphasizing the fact that
FEPC may be the margin between
speedy or long deferred final
victory, White declared, "FEPC is
not an issue affecting only those
to whom it will afford protection
of the right to work. Gen. Joseph
Stilwell only two weeks ago an
nounced that the war in the Pacific
may last another three and a half
years. President Truman, with
magnificent courage n d forth
rightness, has called on the Con-
gress to establish a permanent F.
E. P. c.. because we still have long
and bloody path ahead of us which
requires that full production must
be maintained until the war is
won"
1.-THE Congress-" warned White,
should not be permitted to ad.
journ until it h as enacted this
legislation"
White labelled the conuuct and
procedure of reactionaries maneuv-
ering for the defeat of the measure
"a nauSeating example of legisla-
tive trickery at it's lowest"
ACTION BEWILDERING
There is no more bewildering
experience one can undergo" he
said, than has recently been mine
to come back from battlefronts
where I saw men die, to find men,
bers of the Congress viciously and
dishonesty attempting to destroy
the very things for which men
fight"
Citing the more than half million
Negroes in the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps overseas as of April
28-in addition to thousands more
sent over since then, White said, 81
invite you to imagine the emotions
and thoughts of these more than
100000 Americans as well as these
members of other minoritieS-when
they hear that back home the John
Tabers of New York and the Ran
kins Of Mississippi are using every
trickery known to legislative pro-
ceduue to preserve the poll tax, to
wipe out the Owl, to deny the
right to work without discrimina-
ton on account of race, creed,
color, or national origin.
LOW TRICKS
You can fight, work and die
for democracy these Americans
fascists declare, but you cannot
vote, we will lynch you if we choose
we will deny you the right to OBJ
tain a home without segregation
through the FILA, and now you
shall not even have a job T h e
House Appropriations Committee,
obviously with tongue in cheek de-
clared it would make no appropria-
ton for the FEPC because legisla-
ton dealing with that agency is
pending before Congress. The House
Rules Committee promptly refused
rule to permit the Overwhelming
majority of the House of Represen-
tatives the opportunity to debate
and vote for the FEPC. AS of noon
today, only 131 of the ABS mem
berS."
In conclusion, White admonlsh-
ed. "Will mankind never learn the
terrible price of hate? Norman
Coynsins, editor of the SATUR-
DAY REVIEW OF LITERATURE
cited these appalling figures at q
| meeting recently. Between ninety
and one hundred million persons
have died to date in World War IT
This is an average of 10000 dead
| for every page in MEM KAMPF
Three hundred men, women ant
children have died to date for every
word in that volume of hate. But
there are still Americans who seem
| to have not learned that hate
breeds hate nor that when one ap-
poses another human being because
of his creed or color or place OF
birth, he thereby Injuries not only
the hated but the hater."
Mr.. White also spoke in Washil 9
ton Friday, at D c. branch FEPC
Mass Meeting in the South In
