The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-23
To the Editor:

Three cheers for such timely
discussion as that recent forum
on What Is Wrong With Pro-
gressive Strategy"
Mr.. Sax has understated the
role of the price issue in the
contemporary economic situa-
ton. The drive of big business
for profits finds its clearest ex-
preston in high prices. All
other ugly faces of this drive,
the Marshall Truman doctrine,
the "Taft-HeartleSs" bill, the
loyalty order must doubtlessly
be fought with all the strength
of progressivism, but the end
point of reaction, the point
most significant in the lives of
the people is the effects of
high prices.
The price issue is the issue
than can open the eyes Of the
American people to the present
campaign of organized and
predatory greed.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-23
Change The subject7
To the Editor:


The lawmakers in Congress
the stoopstools of the Con-
gressional lobby boys-shat-
tered the OPA. While it is
dictatorship, a fiend Of Com
munism, they weakened the
ceiling price of rents so that
landlords can be free to throw
out the tenant, and the tenant
is free to lie with his furniture
in the street.
Now the expenses of the
comestibles are intolerable.
The shopkeepers pin big price
tags on the articles, and in
some food stores there are
signs telling you when you
come to buy, bring with you
fin, and you will get change
much better with dollar bills;
and do not keep the same
speech every morning about
high prices.
Better change the subject
talk about the Finley scores,
or who won the pot last night.
H. SALTZ
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-23
Strategy again
To the Editor:

Ina recent issue of The Star
there was a discussion of pro-
gressive strategy by Saville
Sax and Ralph Emerson, which
raised very crucial questions,
but which left them unanswer-
ed. I think most of Emerson's
reply was based on nnisunder-
standing; Sax did not say that
wage raises cause price raises;
he only said that this myth was
a major NAM propaganda
method and that progressive
strategy should explode this
myth.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-23
hits Star article
To the Editor:

" AhG G0AlOIs
Odd, isn't it that the long
arm of reaction should reach
into the pages of The Chicago
Star?
| am referring to the article
on chiropractic and osteopathy,
in the August 10th issue of the
Star.
1t would be interesting to
know how many of the "physi-
clans" in the Forum carry
membership card to the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
Undoubtedly, they are the
progressive" ones within the
ANA. The ANA, as is well
known, is the NAM of the
medical field. 1t has consistent
ly opposed, directly and in
directly, demands for better
health services, as sponsored
by labor and progressive
groups such as socialized medi-
cine, etc.
AS part of the concerted eff
fort of reaction to smother
progressive organizations and
voices, it isn't too surprising
that the ANA would attempt
to discredit progressive groups
amongst the healing arts.
Butt is very surprising to
find such an article in The
Star.
Why ALLEVIATE and antagonize
these groups? They are politi-
callY alive and knowing.
I was under the impression
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-08-23
To the Editor:

In his reply to my letter re
the Sun comic strip, THE Spir-
it," Mr.. L. v. Gordon demon
strates that white chauvinism
is indeed real problem in the
ranks of progressives.
Mr.. Gordon's letter raises
two questions for US first,
can the caricaturing of Negroes
be on the same plane with the
caricaturing of other people?
and second, can superior
art work and intelligent pres
entation' obviate discrimina-
tory factors? Both answers
must be in the negative.
The caricaturing of persecu-
ted minorities in these times,
such as Negroes and Jews, is on
an entirely different plane
than the caricaturing of a
white man." "the police in
spector" or 1.-The Utter
bug" mentioned by Mr.. Cor
don.
No harmful result comes of
the latter, but caricatures
which ridicule the appearance,
speech, and habits of a perse-
euted minority in an exagger-
ated and false manner actu-
ally increase the realities of
persecution.
The Nazi-fascist concept of
white supremacy" feeds on the
false idea that white persons
are in all ways superior to
Negroes and other dark-skin-
ned peoples, who are regarded
as primitive"
Anti-Semitism is also vici-
Gus form of this theological
cannibalisrn.
Thus the character, Ebony,
with his loud clothes, minstrel
face, mammy-iZed speech, and

prlm1tlVeneSs" of Negroes.
True, many Negroes do not
always take the lead, because
of fear and oppression, in the
struggle against white chau-
Vinism. Yet they do feel very
intensely the sting from these
barbs of SANDER.
More and more they are COM
ing forward to challenge the
slubtler forms of discrimina-
ton. To do this requires the
support of the progressive
whites, as the most articuIate
and mature part of the donni-
nant social group. Actually,
their role should be one of
leadership.
This does not mean a reverse
chauvinism, extolling the Ne
gro as superior, as Mr.. Gordon
suggests. And certainly, it can
not be considered IAN artificial
attitude :. "neurotic" :.
or fanatic" to be sensitive to,
and expose all forms of dis
elimination. Those who would
change society for the better
have always been labeled by
the standpatters.
When Mr.. Gordon says IRE
lations between races must
be natural, unrestrained," he
really states our goal. Such an
easy-going, vacuous concept in
jimcrow world where equal
ity does not exist, can. only be-
come an excuse for anti-Negro
propaganda.
Finally can the sound
technique and mature presen-
tation of an artistic perform
ance be detached from the ar
fist by the mind of the OBJ
server? Can we admire art as
"a thing in ITSELF" for its own
sake, without regard for its
source, inspiration, portrayal,
and effect?
No, we cannot. This would

! think Mr.. Emerson under
estimated the strength of
Co-ops and was over-impressed
by the power of monopolies.
At any rate, he gave no basis
for his estimate, and the mat
ter can only be judged after
studying the actual facts and
figures. Since Co-ops now ham
die large fraction of the ma
tons farm trade, his verdict
seems to be reached too light
ly.
The CIO and the AFL have
now both resolved to utilize
Co-ops on a large scale. Be-
fore these resolutions can be
intelligently followed up, pro-
gressives must work out the
related unsettled questions,
and come to understand them
together. Certainly the discus
sion must go a lot deeper than
it did in your recent issue, or
else the whole matter will be
shaInefully fumbled.
