as the United Nations 0rganiza-
ton reposes in land where women
are lynched for a reason no greater
than the fact that they recognized
the murderers who killed their hus-
bands. You must not believe this
to be an isolated incident; you must
believe that lynching is a general
custom of most Of the South and
that there is no authority in the
nation that has been powerful
enough to blot out this great Amer
lean shame.
You must consider now, Gentle
men, what you are to do about this
grave crime against world civiliZa-
ton. You must act to protect the
minority citizens of the United
States, or you should abandon your
quest for true world peace. The
government of the United States
has demonstrated again and again
that it cannot guarantee the rights
and the very lives Of one-third of
its citizens; are you prepared to ac-
cept, Gentlemen, that the United
States be entrusted with the leader
ship for world peace.
Are you, Gentlemen, willing to
entrust the leadership Of your i'm
portant organization to the repre-
sentatives of a nation that con-
fesses its inability to establish peace
within its own borders? Can you
not determine the temper of the
times from the temper of the people
who play a large part in financing
and setting the policy of your or
ganization? Are you more horri-
fled by the terrible efficiency Of the
atom bomb than you are by the
horrible efficiency of a Georgia
mob?
Can you shut your eyes to the
continuing threat to every human
principle for which the United Ma
tons stand, that is present in the
mob-rule lawless communities of
the South Dare you hope for peace
in the world while there is the lust
to kill rampant in the nation where
you carry on your deliberations
Can you, Gentlemen, continue to ig-
more the truth of the United States
false positionH
Are you informed, Gentlemen,
that a mob Of patriotic, Southern
Americans gouged out the eyes Of
a Negro soldier because they were
angry with him and had lost sight
Of the great principle Of Democracy
for which he fought? VIII you be
satisfied, Gentlemen, to have your
organization represented by i'm
pressive buildings in a charming
setting, or are you concerned with
human beings and lasting peace for
all of them?

What Happens in South Is
EverybOdy's Business, Says
Birmingham. Ala, Writer

Is alleged to have stabbed his
white employer. What happened
is symbolic Of what is and has
been happening to the masses of
eOlored people in thousands Of
ways In an effort to keep and
use them as servants In a society
operated on a horizontal basis
white men up and black men
down.
What happened at Columbia,
Tenn, and at Monroe, Ca, also is
symbolic Of the results which will
follow the efforts of colored people
to escape total destruction, il they
persist, as they must, in being fully
emancipated.
They know now they must look
to themselves as if everything de-
ponds on themselves for their iiber-
alton motivated by a righteous
madness stemming from Almighty
God. He knows that there comes
time in the life Of a people OF
nation when men must really fight.
That time has come. Every colored
person everywhere must lay aside
every weight which grievously be-
sets the race and deny ourselves
to the end that we may cease to
aid and abet our Oppressors.
The lynching Of the four persons
in Georgia was the lynching of the
defenseless all over the world. The
brutal mistreatment Of the riot VIC
Tins in Columbia, Tenn, was mis-
treatment Of underprivileged peo-
Piles everywhere. It now becomes
the all-important business of COL
ored people and lovers of justice
everywhere to organize and acti-
vate an anti-intolerance educational
program, global in scope.
Four million colOred people in
the United States ought raise not
less than $4,0OO,00O to be used in
the prosecution of such a program
and to track down the perpetrators
Of lynchings. We ought immediate
ly set up a fund Of not less than
100000 as reward and prosecution
money for the apprehension, con-
viction and punishment Of the Geor-
gia lynchers. There must be some
eye-for-an-eye and tooth-for- tooth
handling Of cases like this during
these days.
have just sent C. A. Scott, edi-
tor Of The Atlanta Daily World,
my contribution to start a 100000
fund to finance the tracking down
Of the Georgia lynchers, matching
Governor Ellis Annals posted re-
ward, and to initiate and prosecute
an anti-intolerance educational pro-
gram designed to reach and convert
peoples in the hookworm sections
Of the South into human beings who
can live together in such a way
that there may be peace, growth,
security and happiness for all. /
have asked Mr.. Scott to call a meet
ing of the Southern Region Of the
Negro Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION to work out a plan Of
action.
II we can go ten thousand miles
across the seas and track down
those who perpetrated crimes
against mankind, we ought be
able to do ii in Georgia. II we do
IL elsewhere, we must do IL in
Georgia. l say, we, because what
happened in Georgia is every
bOdy's business.

By ROBERT DURR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Tension
has been rising in the South durine
the past ~ years at a more ac
CELEBRATED rate than in the preced.
ing 40 years.
Up to IL years ago, many colored
persons in the rural sections
thought that il a way could bt
found to make five ears Of corn OF
five bales Of cotton grow where one
formerly grew, poverty, out OF
which all other ills are bred, would
become the vanishing evil of the
deep South-but they found they
are a part Of a system which takes
their all, be it one ear Of corn, one
bale Of cotton, or an increase OF
five Of each.
As they attempt to escape by
migrating from rural to ur-
ban centers, they find that the sys-
tenn is the same. They made the
discovery that they constitute what
had been termed by southern Cham
bers Of Commerce as the docile,
happy-go-lucky, cheap labor sup
ply.
They awOke to the fact that
contrary to the rather generally
accepted bunk that IL takes more
for white people to live than il
takes for cOlored peOpIe-it ae-
tually cost cOlOred people more
to live than IL costs whites be-
cause Of the dual social system
In which we live. Further, they
discovered that il has been proved
on every soil that those who think
rule those who toll, and that in
order 10 do effective thinking and
meditation one must have leisure.
These people made another dis
covery too-that is, rapidly as pos
sible they had to escape the slave
status in the rural areas as ten
ants and day laborers and domes-
tics in the urban centers. They
became tragically aware of the fact
that in the main all white mems
schools for colored students were
designated to prepare colored peo-
pie for Service" within the frame
work Of the traditions Of the old
South and to that South.
In the fields, the wash tubs, the
kitchens and everywhere, black men
and women began to struggle to
build homes Of their own, buy
farms Of their own, to emancipate
their wives and daughters from
working out for white folks" in
a manner which white persons
would not under similar circum-
stances work for colored persons.
They became conscious Of the fact
that as you ride through the towns,
cities and the rural sections Of the
South you see colored girls and
women nursing white children and
working as domestics, which they
were forced to do or starve or be
jailed for vagrancy and brutalized
by white police while their homes
and children were left to the mercy
Of white and black wolves.
What happened in Georgia re-
eently-the lynching Of two men
and two wOmen-stems out Of the
fact that one Of the victims could
not endure being reprimanded,
Inundated and degraded by the
poor white man for whom he had
been working for nothing. They
argued. One of the cOlOred men

Editor: We of the All Americans
have a bone to pick with you. We
read with pride the puff you gave
Charley Noble in your last issue
as to his golf championship honors,
but how come you said nary word
as to his prOwess as mail tosser,"
otherwise called postal clerk in
Hon. John R. Coan's marvellous
ten million dollar postoffice.
Since you didn't "dood it." this
is to inform you that Charley No
Bile is one of the best postal men
in the USA, bar none. On top of
that he is a prince of a fellow,
always good-natured, friendly,
smiling, and cooperative. More
over, thanks to the kindly and
wholesome efficiency and broad
minded policy Of the high grade
postmaster, we have a lot of other
Al clerks, male and female. I've
worked with such employees as
Arthur Lee, Wendell Jones, Dick

frailty that has been the real rea-
son for all of our devastating wars.
You recognize that other previous
organized efforts to establish a
world organization that could guar
antee peace failed because sham
and hypocrisy were substituted for
craftsmanship at the council tables.
You must recognize now that your
host, the United States Of America,
is a nation in which a continuing
pOgrom against a portion of its
citizenry is as firmly established as
are the articles Of the constitution.
You, Gentlemen, cannot have
failed TO notice that the United
States is committed to a policy of
racism that is as devastating and
as inimical to world peace as was
the master race policy Of the mad
man, Hitler. You must know that
the men who rule the Congress and
the Senate Of the United States are
men who are elected, in most cases,
in a most unrepresentative manner
from states where at least third,
and sometimes one-half of the popu-
lation is disenfranchised because
Of race.
You must have noticed, Gentle
men, that the lynch-law that pre-
walls throughout the South exacted
four human lives as a tribute to
white American supremacy and that
the Federal Government is power
less to act to mete out punishment
for this crime, or to prevent
recurrence Of similar human
slaughter to satisfy the blOod-lust
Of hate-mad, fear-ridden men who
fancy themselves the guardians Of
the nations destiny.
You cannot believe, Gentlemen,
that the United States Of America
is a suitable location for any or
ganiZation that holds the fate of
the world within its grasp. You
cannot expect the non-white nations
Of the world TO feel secure so long

Editor: feel that some word of
compliment and praise should be
publicly voiced for the organiza-
tons and societies that participated
in and aided the organization of
the recent parade staged by the
Elks Lodge Sunday, July %, in St.
Paul.
1t is highly regrettable that the
st. Paul leadership of the Elks
Lodge and the Halle Q. Brown
Community House do not have sim
liar endowments of ability to fos-
ter a marching club and drum and
bugle corps. In reality St. Paul has
a population advantage over any
thing Minneapolis has in that there
is a greater mass concentration of
Negroes in the Capitol City than
the Mill City where there are set
Elements divided essentially into the
North and South sides of the latter
city.
| do not lend praise to the march
ing teams because of their high
stepping nor the blare of their
bugles nor the ruffle of the drums
but to a more intrinsic factor. If
people will unite and organize for
the flare and the ruffles" then,
with intelligent leadership, it is
possible to get political and eco
nOmic unity that God knows Tva
need in stronger and greater doses
IN both st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The parade was the manifestation
Of a type of unity that is possible
in the Twin Cities. Let us strive
to keep what we have and make
to still more effective in even more
rewarding channels of collective
activity.

are deeply concerned about the ex-
tremeIy difficult financial problem
created by the unprecedented in
crease in enrolment. The Univer-
sity is one of the truly great in
stitutions Of higher learning in the
nation, but, in the face Of the finan-
cial problem, it will be fighting to
preserve its top-rank status. En-
rollment is expected to reach an
all-time high Of 21,600 in the fall.
This will be a 40 per cent increase
over the previous all-time high of
1880 during the 1939-40 academic
year.
The University has already an
nOuneed it will begin classes one
half hour earlier, thus providing an
additional hour of instruction, and
that schedules are being arranged
to obtain maximum use of faeili-
ties and personnel. The farming
out" of students to other colleges
does not appear likely, but the ex-
panded enrolment makes il essen
tial that the size Of the STAFF be
increased. The size of classes has
already reached the limit for good
instruction and there is q tendency
for a greater share of the teaching
load to fall on the younger and less
experienced instructors. Thus, the
University's request for increased
is certain to receive
attention in the l947 legis-
lative session.

George Washington lived
there only three years. His

Mount Vernon, and then to a
plantation on the Rappahan-

Washington was born burned
down during the Revolutionary
