The South Cheats Agoin

/ deeper significance. 1t might be
told in the simple sentence that
one cotton picking machine now
being introduced can pick al
most 1000 times more cotton
than one man and can replace
over a dozen strong men. 9th
er machines can replace hum
dredsh There's industrial rev.
olution going on in the South
which for nearly 300 years had
been almost as some Aslatic
countries) relying purely upon
physical slave labor.
That the South has not pre-
pared its people for this change
is no fault of her sister states.
That Southern Congressman
have taken more pride in how
long they could out-talk the
rest of the country in assinine
filibusters concerning every
thing but the real essential So
lutions, that the Huey Longs,
TalmadgeS, Blbos and Rankins
have been fiddling while the
South burned, is certainly not
the fault of the Governor of
Nebraska nor the King of Siam,
The fault belongs with the
South and the South should
provide its own fair solutions.
But the South has never solved
anything. She has dragged her
sister states into every major
problem into which she has en-
tangled herself. Our only Civil
War resulted from such cause.
Today's inter-racial misunder-
standings in America are en-
tirely based upon the wickedly
willful attitudes of the south
ern states. r
The system Of enslaving its
own poor whites as we'll as
colored has at last caught up
with the South. But shall she
pay for her sins, seek repent
ance, try to aid those she
sinned against? Or will Uncle
Sam weaken again as during
the Reconstruction, and allow
the South to be free Of all OBJ
legations to her fellowmen. This
/. is the real issue and it is a ring
ing challenge to the entire ma
ton.
How then can we give pious
concern for democracy in
Greece?

'AMERICAN ACTION"
by A. PHILIP RANDOLPH, International President
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, AL

You can't always Judge a man
by the company he keeps. But
you can generally get a pretty
good idea of where he stands by
the organizations whose mem
bership cards he carries. Some
times this work backwards, too,
and you can find out what kind
of an organization certain
group is by looking at the people
in it. That's why colored people
should take a very good look at
an outfit calling itself "Ameri-
can Action, Inc"
On the surface American Ac-
ton, Inc" has for its aim ITO
promote methods and means to
support and defend constitu-
tional government in the United
States and especially to give all
lawful support to public officials
and candidates for public Office
who believe that the American
constitutional system of govern
ment should be maintained"
That doesn't sound too bad,
does it? 1t seems like a pretty
good cause until you get under
the fancy words and behind the
dignified front of American
Action, Inc. Then you find the
same group pro-fasciSt crack
pots who have been Americas
lunatic fringe for many years,
But those lunaticS are dangerous
ones.
Fronting for AA is General
Robert E. Wood, head of Sears
Roebuck and chairman of the
old America First Committee.
Along with Wood and playing an
active role in AA is Edward
Hayes, ex-American Legion big
shot. And repeatedly supporting
the organization are such finan-
cial operators as Joseph Pew,
Lammot Dupont, Ernest Weir
and William H. Regnery.
That's the kind of people who
work with and support Ameri-
can Action, Inc. The Columbiana
or the Talmadge machine in
Georgia has a lot in common
with the kind of people who be-

There were two camps-One proud and confident;
Skilled in detail keen in its bold intent
Across the way stout hearts with faster beat
Took up the challenge, sneering at defeat
Tense were the moments yes, the stakes were highs
little band had vowed to do or die;
The freedom of their country was the stake
To be achieved, cen though the earth should shakel
An order fierce charge-men quickly fell
The sound of musketry their death knell;
But while upon the Redeemed stoh they lay,
Histry recorded our first "D-Day'

The bedrock upon which stands LibertyI
