Democrats Must Answer

The Democratic party is going
to have to answer in 1913 as to why
the FEPC and the Poll Tax bills
were not passed. 1t is going to
have to answer for its attitude on
Negro soldiers and veterans. Its
submission to southern demagogues
like Bilbo, Rankin and Bailey, will
in due time have to be accounted
for, and no series Of appointments
is going to prevent that from hap
pening.
What the Negro needs is jobs,
equal pay for equal work and the
right to the ballot in states like
Mississippi, Virginia, Louisiana and
South Carolina, where the Poll Tax
keeps him and poor whites from
exercising their political rights.
He needs equal educational oppor-
tunities all over the South and any
effort, whether subtle or open, to
deny these, by either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party, is an
engagement with the damned and
the doomed.
The Democratic party cannot
stay in power without the Negro
vote in states like New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
History will show few instances
when either party came into power
against a vote to the contrary in
these three states. When they
swing away from the Republican
party in 1913 they will possibly
carry with them the presidency.
What Mr.. Truman needs is a
semblance Of Rooseveltian CUTS and
gall, coupled with a little Roose-
veltian political sagaeity. Without
these he is sure to lead the party

1943, repeating LAUTlER
the Chinese Exclusion law, an an
nual quota Of 105 was set for
Chinese. This was done as a ges-
ture Of good will between this coun-
try and the Chinese Republic.
A bill to permit Indians to enter
the United States within the quota
limitation Of 100 a year passed the
House on Oct. 10. The late Presi-
dent Franklin d. Roosevelt and
President Truman have urged its
enactment. The British Govern
ment, to which India belongs, has
stated that II Is in accord with the
principle Of the bill.
But a handful of Southern Sena-
tors are blocking a vote on the bill
because they are opposed to the ad-
mission into this country Of Hindus,
Koreans, and other Asiatic groups
because Of their race or color.
The measure is bottled up in the
Senate immigration Committee, of
which Senator Richard B. Russell,
Democrat, of Georgia (of FEPC
infamy), is the chairman. Besides,
every Democratic member Of this
committee is a Southerner: An
drews of Florida, Radcliffe Of Mary
land, Maybank Of South Carolina,
Eastland Of Mississippi, Fullbright
Of Arkansas, and Hoey Of North
Carolina.
Is it any wonder that this bill,
which would eliminate a racial bar
rier against a people who fought
nobly in World War II, is being
kept from being brought to a vote
in the Senate in the same manner
as the FEPC and the anti-poll
tax bills?
President Humans appointment
Of Bill HASTE as Governor Of the
Virgin Islands Is eommendable. II
represents n step forward In equal
ity Of citizenship. But It does not
answer the aspirations of eOlOred
people for the appointment Of a
cOlOred man to the bench Of Fed

Nor did the appointment Of Judge
Irwin c. MOllisOn to the United

The United States Supreme Court

are fifty-seven Federal circuit
judges, 1876 district judges (includ-
ing two in the Territory Of Hawaii,
one in Puerto Rico, four in Alaska,
one in the Virgin Islands, and one
in the Panama Canal Zone), and
forty-nine retired and resigned
judges. OF these, Judge Herman
E. Moore in the Virgin Islands is
the only Negro.
The Court Of Customs and Patent
