There stands the record OF the
Republicans on the FEPC legisla-
which would be required for sue
cessful enforcement. And these
two practical difficulties, it was
realized, would preclude the pos
sibility of such a law having an
immediate corrective result.
In that event, why have the
law? Why expend the great effort
and energy 1t would require to
pass such a law?
Republicans of good will and
vision believe that despite the
practical obstacles such a law is
desirable because 1t would consti-
tute constructive step in chang
ing the moral attitudes of any
community where prejudice might
exist.
; The great good of the bill to
establish permanent FEPC Is
that it would exert constant
pressure on the moral attitudes
of law abiding citizens in a law
abiding community, urging them
by the force of moral pressure to
conform with the declared judg-
ment of the whole nation that
prejudice against any mans right
to hold job on grounds of race,
religion, color, nationality or ma
tivity is immoral
Particularly open and fragrant
violations of such a law might
perhaps be successfully subject to
legal prosecution, but such case
never could number more than an
insignificant percentage of the
many acts of prejudice In the Civ.
ing and getting of Jobs
The filibuster In the Senate,
therefore. Is a filibustter against
morality. This Is an Issue on which
we as Republicans can not COM
promise. On the whole Negro
question, we Republicans will not
and must not compromise. because
to do so would be to betray the
principles and leadership of Abra-
ham Lincoln, our founder.
Recently | had occasion to read
the speech which Lincoln deliv-
cred at Edwardsville, ILL.,, in 1853
The following quotation Is as per
tinent to the economic crisis
which faces US, as 1t was to the
moral crisis facing Lincoln.

due to their not having been poll
