OF FAITH AND FREEDOM
By REV. HENRI N. DEAs

Millions of European children saw death, destruction and hunger spit in their faces and steal their souls. Hundreds of thousands of Amer ican children have parents who be- gin to poison their minds at an early age with ideas of racial hat red; religious bigotry; selfish am- bition and murderous disregard for their fellows.
 While the bodies of European children wreak with starvation and physical msery; the minds of Amer ican children are being treacher- ously poisoned by race-hating par ents who would rather die'' than to have their children Ego to school'' or play with" or ''sit next to" that Negro; or that Jew; that Roman Catholic or that etc Protestant. While mobs of European children fresh in the viscious aftermath of horrible war are pillaging and pfundering the cities of France, Bel gium, Germany, and Italy; mObs of American children newly grad uated from an educational system based upon race-hate, beat, maim and terrOrize the citizens of Amer ican cities. What happened in Athens, Georgia last week is only an example of what is latent in the minds of children throughout the nation. It happened to Negroes in Georgia, but it happens to Jews and other groups elsewhere. Not the Negroes; but these children are the worst victims. The minds of these youngsters like those of their parents have been poisoned, fatally poisoned. They are the composite result of an older generations curse which has afflicted them with it's disease. It is saying to them ~suf- fer little children" We damn you with our prejudice and our ignor- ance, our suspicion and our fear.
 It is in this sense, furthermore, that it is easy to understand what our Bible means when it says "I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me" It is en- couraging and cheerful, however, to remember that that same passage also says 'I will show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my Commandments" It is with the knowledge and hope that there are not thousands; but mil lions who try to live in accordance with the latter half of that passage that we can hope for the day when the little children of this world shall no longer be ordered by the corrupt and heartIess to suffer.

The Seventy-Ninth Congress of the United States, thank the good God, is over. When it ended, the American people breathed long sigh of relief; they had witnessed the closest approach that has ever been made to a governmentalized Nazi Bund meeting. Several we'll planned, 1ong-thought-out, essential pieces of progressive legislation were given to this Seventy-Ninth Congress; one after another the Seventy Ninth Congress defeated them. As it's historic contribution to the advancement of the people of this nation, this session of the Congress can boast that NOT ONE SINGLE PIECE OF FAR-REACH- ING LEGISLATION WAS SUC- CESSFULLY PASSED BY ITS MEMBERS.

Anti-lynching legis- lation was offered to this Congress ' time after time, without any hope of success. A compulsory health and disqualification plan, in which we would have been following only the outstandingly-proven examples of Enpland. Finland Soviet Russia and Sweden, was doomed to defeat in this session. The Congress show ed it's utter contempt for the whole American group of consumers by doing it's worst to kill price control, finally enacting an emasculated, senile, doddering OPA bill that will swell the pockets of the profiteers in most lines while throwing the people into want and impoverish- ment. It hastened into wild ap- plause when President Truman ill.,
