aftermath Of the war but they
also result from recent voting
by a group Of citizens formerly
denied the ballot. Talmadge
of Georgia and Bilbo of MissiS-
sippi were restored to power.
The election of such demagogues
cannot be regarded lightly.
Their influence in tanning ra-
cial fires IS tremendous.
President Truman has ordered
a complete investigation of the
five lynchihgs. We shall be
watching to see if it means that
the culprits will be brought to
Justice or whether it is mere
gesture by the Chief Executive
to- save face.
The path of democracy in the
United States is rugged uncer-
tain and beset with obstacles.
Veterans who fought for a new
way of American life doubtless
have many misgivings about
having saved democracy. They
surely must be made of extraor-
dinarily stern stuff if they have
not b e c m c disillusioned by
the type of democracy they help

GEORGIA, U. S. "A. - Sixty
shots riddled the bodies of four
Americans, two Of whom were
women and one a veteran Of
World War II.
MISSISSIPPI, U. S. A. - An
American was hanged from a
tree and lashed to death with
whips.
This is life in a country that
fought twice to save democracy.
What can veterans think of such
bloody massacre, more shocking
in times of peace than the hor-
rcrs of death in warfare? What
can they think of the way of life
for which they fought, were
wounded and manned; the way
of life for which many hundreds
of thousands Of their comrades
gave the last full measure of
devotion?

with federal and state investiga-
tors working on the lynchings,
and they tell me they are making
very slow psogseSs and have
nothing definite as yet. How
ever, they are hoping for an
early break in the case"
1t is argued by some seasoned
here that if the Georgia
and Federal investigators have
more definite clues, naturally
they woSld not give them to the
press at this time.
Difficulties blocking the hunt
for the mobsters are many. Al
though the Georgia and Federal
Bureaus of Investigation are
working hand in hand, they are
not getting the cooperation of
the citizens of Monroe. No
notices of the huge rewards for
the llnchers have been posted in
the lynch area. The rank and
file jewellers in the rural dis
tricts of Georgia and in most
southern states do not read
enough of what is printed in
the newspapers and magazines
to make them feel the resent
lment oil the world outside their
counties. Newspaper readers
who know anything about the
mob are in fear of their own
lives if they give out any infor-
nation.
In Atlanta especially and pos
sibly in other large cities and
towns in the State, the feeling Of
indignation over the outrage is
at high pitch. Anyone re-
turning to Georgia after only a
few years absence is sure to find
the state has undergone a great
change for the better. The
sense of disgrare to their state
is so strong among the decent
people of Georgia that some
thing will come out Of the in
vestigation, but not Immediate
ly'', as an old citizen OF Atlanta
predicts. That phrase mot i'm
mediately", Of course, redes-
Icribes the snail-like progress of
the Walton County man-hunt.

THE RAPE CRY

The rape frame-up concocted by the Savannah young
woman petered out. The locale was unfavorable. Cool
headed intelligence the part of Savannah officials
prompted investigation and medical examination which
blasted her yarn to bits In backwoods her devil
sh scheme would have worked plots of the kind
have been successful in many other instances Among
the ignorant inhabitants in Georgia dustroads section
her whmpered narrative garnished with proper tears
would have enabled her to point out any two hrownsn
her seducers and they would be fair game for
lynchers. At least in Georga's larger cities it
seems the cry rape longer needed unquesoningly

were foolish to get into such
circumstances; butte often they
began with drinking at some
public resort or night club. Some
women have brazenly invited
such men into their homes or
hired them for work, fully cogni-
zanb Of what they were inviting.
There are numerous other angles
in wfic hthe women have forced
the issue but managed to escape
the blame. In the lurid head
lines it is usually the brutal
Mexican, Chinese" or some other
minority group male who is
blamed. But the truth is COM
ing to the fore. Thus the mount
ing divorce rate provides head
ache to many men.
MIX WITH JAP GIRLS
One defense of the divorce is
her claim that men Of her own
nationality are increasingly fra
ternizing' with European girls,
South Pacific Islanders, Japa-
nese, Chinese, Indians and others
many who are being returned
here as wives, thus cheating
some American girl out Of a
chance. This feeling is stronger
than has been written. During
the latter stages of the war I
heard many Boston women COM
plain most bitterly because their
CTS wer5 bringing home wives
from the Pacific and the ETQ.
Nothing they could do would
move the men. Colored girls,
even in bondage, have won the
hearts of palefacs men. Cen
orally a better cook and house
keeper than her paleface sister,
the brownskin beauty is better
situated today than ever before
and is not keen over being rob-
bed of her big brown man. So
f the white Divorce wants COM
petition she will probably get it.
But did you ever see a war mix

me has done. And what can

sermon last Sunday. Two of the

must make use of what we have.
Rev. White filled the pulpit on

joyed by all who heard it. A
few late-comers heard his clos
ing prayer. Rev. Lawrence Kay

WILL MARRY ANYBODY

1 WILL MARRY ANYBODY
J No one win question the dang
erous divorce rate in our country
where Reno and Hollywood are
today best known for their UNI
sacred views on marriage. Au-
thorities abroad recently esti-
mated that one out Of five Brit
tsh marriages are cracking up
on the rocks. In war-ravaged
France, italy, Germany, Greece
and other European sountries
thousands of women are with
out legal husbands or stable
home times. With emphasis on
serurity these war women and
succeeding generations will not
contest a mans race, creed or
color. In Europe that is under
standable. In this country, un-
touched by war, the women have
access to steady jobs, careers,
even wealth and unusual free
doms of choice in all they de-
sire. There is an old reckless
boast among such women Of be-
ing free, white, and 81" indicat-
ing that they recognize few res
trictions. There is a law now
before Congress to give women
the same qualities with men.
Such are the times.
1t is not an unusual situation
today for an "ex-divorcea" to
marry an Indian prince. a Chi
nsse merchant or a colored cr-
chestra leader. Many OF these
marriages last to amaze the cri-
hcs. The trend will increase.
