TEEN-AGE BILBOS

The scandalous action Of the Gary, Indiana,
high school students who went on strike to protest
the presence of Negro students at the high school
and the riot between white and Negro students of
a New York high school last week cannot be ig-
nored. Here is young America going crazy on the
race issue at the very moment in our national his
tory when we are celebrating great victory over
the enemies of democracy. Many schoolmates of
these strikers helped to pay for that victory with
their lives.
1t is reported that this anti-Negro activity
among the teen-agers is being stimulated by their
elders This we do not doubt. Hitler won III e
youth of Germany to his fascist doctrines in order
to make his rule absolute His lieutenants concen-
trated on the youth and found them eager pawns
for the Nazi game.
Social scientists have proven time after time
that racial prejudice is not inherited. Its seeds
have to be sown. One generation teaches another
to hate and racsm finally becomes part of the cu-
ture which youth breathes like air. 1t is the task
of education to see that the proper values made
part of the culture, to that truths of science
and the humanities are appreciated. There is a
screw loose somewhere when students exhibit such
savagery as was reported last week.
If the younger generation is won over to the
racst doctrines espoused by the Hitlerites we will
have lost this war against fascism no matter how
proudly we may proclaim democratic victory

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS"

On this Saturday, Oct. 8, young Negro is
going 70 die in Texas because of racial prejudice.
He is being railroaded to death because ne is not
white. Our authority for this statement comes
from the father Of Detroit's liberal councilman,
George Edwards. The senior George Edwards is
a liberal lawyer in Dallas, Texas, and for months
he has waged a back-breaking campaign to prevent
the legal lynching Of L. c. Atkins who has been con-
demned to die for Staying committed in self
defense
The details of the case have been brought to
national attention by Atty. Edwards Atkins killed
a white man. This fact alone has botted out all
other eXtenuating circumstances in the minds of the
Texas jurists They want blood. Against his
stone wall of racial hatred, the elder Edwards has
pounded with his bare fists and to date not stone
has given way.
Writing in the September 18th issue of Nation
magazine Attorney Edwards declared: Il repeat
that | know, and the Judge who tried the case
knows, and everybody else in Dallas knows that no
white man would have been convicted OF murder
in case like this, that Atkins was condemned to
death because of the color of his skin. Every cltl
zen who approves or condones this death sentence
shares the guilt of this Negroes death
Governor Coke Stevenson of Austin Texas
can save Atkins life. So can Elster M. Halle, the
chairman of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, at
the State Capitol in Austin. Appeals are going to
these officials from all over the country, and there
is little time left to send yours.
Nothing so shakes the foundation of our demo-
cratic government as the brazen and wicked denial
of Justice as the use of the law to appease hatred
the use of the law to get revenge 1t is a supreme
tragedy that some white Americans feel impelled
to prostitute the courts of justice in order to safe
guard the illusion of their own superiority The
valiant stand of the elder Edwards represents the
American way

MIR. SMITH GOES TO TOWN

The Louisiana menace, Gerald l.. X. Smith, who
has hit pay dirt in Detroit is trying desperately to
win national attention. In many respects he rep
resents the lunatc fringe in our population, and
great many honest liberals feel that everything will
work out all right if he is simply ignored. Certain
ly if nobody paid any attention to him, Mr.. Smith
would eventually have to fold his tent and steal ST.
lently away.
Nevertheless often we discover that course
Of action which seemed logical enough does not
necessarily pan out in practice. Mountebanks of
the character of Mr.. Smith too smart to suffer
in oblivion The world being what it is the Smith
ties seem always to be able to find tub to thump
and an audience to listen to the humping 1t may
be that the lunatic fringe is larger than m any
suppose
In democracy it is impossible to deny any
man free speech Just the same the taxpayers do
not have to furnish platform for man to eXer-
else that right. Getting tangled up in the free
speech issue, however only obscures the real point
That is the need for liberals to campaign more Wig
orously for the democratic ideals and drown out the
tub-thumpng of Mr.. Smith. The struggle between
democracy and fascsm is like the struggle between
virtue and sin, it is life long contest. Mr.. Smith
is missionary of the devil himself and he is able
to go to town because the missionaries of democ-
racy prefer to argue with each other rather than
seek converts.

of mystery "the man behind the throne" et c.
Despite all the blather about the prowess of Mr..
Bennett his dexterity with shooting iron, his love
for daredevil ways, we have always felt that he
was an homogeneous character in big business. His
interest in athletes including colored ones, did not
blind to the fact that he could be an "enfant ter
rible" under some circumstances.
The big question arising out of the shake-up,
however, is will the new crowd make it better or
worse for the Negro workers in the Ford empire
All of us know that the attitude of management on
the race issue is always apparent in the hiring poll
cies of company. Mr.. Bugas who now has Mr.
Benefits job is allegedly educated and cultured"
1t will be interesting to watch his influence the
new Ford strong man. If he proves to be liberal
Detroit will have cause for rejoicing.
