That Old Trick: Divide and Rule
 Rxx Rora Dnn

group is the Negro. In other places, some other group takes the rap. Who is it where yoN live?
 But that doesn't make it a prob lem for that group alone. The problem belongs to everybody be- cause the people it affects are the common man, too. They want the same things we want, and the mir acle of today is that there is enough to go around. If these peo- pie who are being discriminated against were given chance, they'd be on our side, helping us. Together, we'd have better chance of getting the things we want for all of us.
 But that's where the enemy is smart Not only does he divide our forces to keep us weak. He gets us to com peting with each other, fighting with each other for the jobs, the pay, the little security he will be willing tc let us scramble over.
 Letting Yourself Down
 The man who is willing to see an other worker denied a job or decent pay because of the color of his skin or the church to which he belongs or the country Ill which he was borr that man is falling into the trar that the employers have set for him.
 He is letting the enemy divide his own army; he is cutting himself of from his own support He is trying to fight the forces of economic pow CT with one hand tied behind him.
 The man who stands idly by and lets the boss get away with job discrimination is letting down the people who tried to help the com. mon man, people all the way from Thomas Jefferson to the man who works at the next machine. He is letting down the men who are walking the picket lines in the wind today in the fight against the plush-sitting lords of business and industry. And he is letting down his own children, because they will have to fight the battle that he is not fighting for them today.
 To me that's what's back of the fight against the poll tax, the fign1 for FEPC, the fight for unity of the common man on every front on whicf the common man has to do battle to- day. That fight must go on.
The union times., 1946-02-09

''AlI men are created free and equal'' wrote Thomas Jefferson. He meant 1t as a challenge to every country in the world, to discrimi. nation wherever it existed. In Jef. ferson's own time the people of England, France, and America took up the challenge and moved their countries little closer to the ideal that Jefferson had set up.
 Here, it first became the Revo. lutionary War. Later on, it again turned into a shooting Civil War. But ever since JeffersOn's day, the battle for the freedom and inde. pendence of the common man has gone steadily on.
 The fight has been political and economic one, but the enemy has used the same tricks against us that are used in a shooting war. He has kept us divided, fighting each other or fighting for the same things with out the help of each other. Divide and Rule Take the vote, for instance. There are states in this country where only go of the people may get a chance to vote for their Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress. 98% pe1 cent of the people might not vote al all. They are kept from the ballot box by poll taxes, by phoney "tests' and tricks of all kinds, or by just plain lack of education.
 These people who are being kept out of the political fight are mostly from our side. They are white as well as Negro; American born as we'll as people who came from other countries. Given g chance to vote, they would increase the size of our force and OuI power.
 The Senators and Represents lives from these places are usually the reactiOnary, anti-nearly-every thing. Elected by small numbers of reactiOnary people, these Con gressmen nevertheless run some Oi the most important committees in Congress today. They are able to kill or block nearly everything that labor wants passed.
 Only the votes of the people from their own states can clean them out With our help, the common man ir those states could get the chance tc do it.
 Economic Discrimination On the economic front, the same divide and rule" tricks go on. For years they have kept millions of peo pie out of work or living in fear ot unemployment. They know that |; worker who feels insecure will settle for less-less pay, less time for him self, less in the way of decent work. ing conditions, less democracy. Anc the less he'll settle for, the less every body else gets, too
 This insecurity effects every body. Can anybody feel absolute ly sure of a job when he hears that IO,OOO,OOO workers are slated to lose theirs when the post wal boom is over? But it also picks out certain groups to be the last hired, first fired people, to take the jobs nobody else wants, to gel the lowest pay, to work the longest hours.
