NECRO'S RIGHTS

WASHINGTON - The supreme

lower federal court ruling that
Negroes are entitled to vote in
Democratic primary elections in
Georgia.
The rulings were given on litiga-

Negro of Muscogee county. Co.,
who was denied the right to vote
in a recent primary. A U. S. dis
trict court in Georgia said the
denial violated Kings rights under

who is just as anxious to get.re-

IF there had been a PAC back

as ever for the sort Of world

thus far every time big business has played tune little
Harry has been found dancing to its music.
We do not wish to remove the main political respon-
sibity from where it belongs, from the Republican
poax Democratic reactonaries Congress- but neither
can agree with the President and those who defend
his actions that surrender the only course open to
him. The STAR has in previous issues indicated how the
President could act to defeat both the meat packers and
their reactionary political stooges
THE AFFECT surrender of the government of the
United States to the threat of the big packers
the nation into submission is indeed sight sorry to be-
hold and enough to fill each and every American with
sense of shame and rage.
1t is also something worth bordering
Here is an example of modern day capitalism, in
which the monopoles and trusts have become power
full to hold in the palm of their greedy hands the
nomic life of the country. This too, is example of
big business arrogance and treason for the robber barons
of today believe in the dctum 'the people be damned
and ready engage in the most nearous and devious
to increase their profits, privileges and power.
The time has come to clip the claws of the MON
OPOLY monster Unless this is DONE economic seritude
reaction and fascist dictatorship may well be in store
for America.
u
BIG BUSINESS, with the meat packers carrying the
ball and the Republican and Southern Democratic
tonaries running interference, has succeeded in
smashing the last major bastion of price control Only
rent control really remains.
The workers and the common people must therefore
look elsewhere for the safeguard of their living standards
which now stand threatened as never before
Labor viii now be forced to depend more upon its
own economic strength The farce of wage sabization
under which prices wages
be put an end to. Wage adjustments must be won
that greater labor unity is needed and that the
schemes to destroy it through disruption from within by
'Red Scare.
more powerful and concerted fight must be waged
the front The steps taken by the Chicago
Committee Price and Rent Control to organize
boycott against goods sold at exhorbtan prices
has the full support of this paper
The meat shortage was, among other things, part
mocrats in November
Certainly Harry Truman failed to meet that chal-
enge in the way that it should have been met However,
the main responsibility for the meat crisis still rests on
the meat packers and their politician henchmen the Taft

THEREFORE,, the most important lesson of all should
be that of political action. If President Truman backs
down and retreats every time reaction gathers its forces
how much more will this be true if Republican reaction
wins the congressional elections The anger of the peo
pie must therefore express itself at the polls in defeat
for every reaconary candidate and in the state of Hi
nos the most reaconay and profascist candidates

THE LAND WHERE HATE SHOULD DIE

This is the land where hate should die
No feuds of faith, spleen of race,
No darkly brooding fear should try
Beneath flag to find place
Lo! every people here has sent
It's sons to answer freedoms call;
Their lifeblood is the strong cement
That builds and binds the nations wall
This is the land where hate should die
Though dear to my faith and shrine,
1 serve my country well when
Respect beliefs that not mine.
He little loves his land who'd cast
Upon his neighbours word a doubt
Or cite the wrongs of ages past
From present rights to bar him out.
This is the land where hate should die
This is the land where strife should cease,
Where foul suspicious fear should fly
Before our flag of light and peace.
Then let US purge from poisoned thought
That service the State give
And be worthy ought
Of this great land in which we live!
