Dust BilbO

The charge of bribery ad cor
ruption on which Bilbo will be
hailed before his legislative peers
emphasizes the fact that the big
otry which he eXemplifies has
fundamentally an economic mot
iyation. Bilbo spews forth hatred
against Negro, Jewish, and Italian
American peoples because it is
profitable for him to do so. His
barbarous racism is his means
of livelihood, his whole reason
for existence. 1t perpetuates the
ignorance which has enslaved
those members of his electorate
who have fallen victim to his
Establishments, preventing them
from seeing the path to progress
and security and prosperity in
their state by forcing upon them
the binders of white supremacy
balderdash. Meanwhile their cleo.
ted spokesman has had access,
without the challenge of enlight
ened and alert voters, to the
fleshpots of public funds, the
plundering of which goes on apace
as it does wherever the poll tax
system exists to deprive hosts of
Negro and white Southerners of
their constitutional right to vote
and hold office
Perhaps the decision to place
the seat of the hearings in Jack
son, Mississippi, on December ?,
is a subtle indication that the
Republicans do not really mean
business. 1t is a notorious truth
that the sanctity of witnesses

to promote the sale of bonds and
the encouragement of thrift and
