an immediate test OF the Lea bill by
filing a criminal information against
Pres. James c Petrillo of the Ameri-

U. 5. HAS MUCH UNFINISHED
Business IN RISING
DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
(By CHARLES S. DUKE).

In a recent issue of the daily
newspaper, PM, financed by the lib
eral millionaire, Marshall Field, cor
respondent Saul Padover indicated
that the underlying question of
peace "is one of domestic reforms
and internal economic-social sta
bility in the democratic sphere" +"
This succinct statement carries our
minds back to the days of World
War | which was allegedly fought
to make the world safe for democ-
racy."
If, however, there was any ques-
tion of the full coverage of the hori-
zon of liberality in World War l OBJ
jectives, World War II was fought
under the aegis of the Atlantic char
ter in which the four freedoms were
a certified end product. 1t might
easily be that unfinished business
in social and economic reforms to-
gether with democratic frustra-
tions at home are contributing
causes of the difficulties confront
ing Byrnes, Bevins and Molotov.
There is no question but that
both England and Russia have
their full share of domestic prob
lens. So far as our own country is
concerned internal problems within
the last II months have taken on
proportions which threaten our do
mestic tranquility and economic Sc
curity, unless, perhaps, more liberal
forces take over the helm of the
Ship of State when the new congress
comes into being in the next few
months.

and another making lynching a fed
eral offense presents a most seriou
situation so far as the colored citi
zens of this country are concerned
Maybe congress is not to blame, bu
the people north, south, east ant
west for not putting enough cheat
upon congress. No doubt this fac
tor will be reflected more or less il
the personnel of which the new con
gress will be constituted and tn,
subsequent position it will take upol
these matters.
The almost unbelievable trucu
lence of some southern senators
and congressman during these times
of dangerous world situations has
created for the colored citizens OF
the south an atmosphere very sim.
liar to that created for the Jews OF
Hitler Germany. Generally una
fraid, the colored citizens of the
south have stood to their guns,
largely taking advantage of their
new voting privileges. On their side
have been the liberal southerner,
the Southern Conference on Human
welfare and the redoubtable Gov.
Arnall of Georgia. 1t may we'll be
that the resurgence of the liberal
southerners will be the largest con-
tribution to the restoration of
America to the truly democratic
column.
While we welcome the peaceful
revolution engineered by the black
minority of the south in the quest
for their legal voting rights as the
true technique for advancement in
a democratic framework, the mill
tant white ex-soldier of the south
presents an entirely new aspect.
These former warriors have chosen
to police the ballot boxes. And so,
the corrupt politicians of the south
finds "his chickens coming home to
roost." In many communities of the
south the local governments were
taken over years ago by violence
and retained by fraud, are now be-
ng recaptured for democracy by the
sons of the fathers who acquired
them through violence for a privi-
legged group.
There was once a time when the
politician was held in disrepute.
Politics was considered an "unclean
thing" Now we find that nearly all
of our rights have been taken away
from us because we were not more
politically y-minded. Our legislative
machinery does not quickly respond
to the popular will. Fascist influ-
ences, as sand in sensitive bearing
box, retard the production of lib
eral legislation by our law making
bodies.
