At this moment, I wondered
where the Iron Curtain is that

PRAGUE. which is the capital
of Czechoslovakia, has a popula-
ton of one million. Its buildings
are modern and also have up-to-

services. The landscape is very
mountainous and full Of scenic
beauty.
On Sunday, we visited Terasy
Barrandov, which is located on a
high hill overlooking the Vltva
River. The great forestry in the
background with the trees and
theft golden leaves falling help to
make very beautiful picture.
On Monday, we visited the
stockyards and slaughter house of
Prague The stock pens are some
what similar !. to those found in
Chicago stockyards and the slaugh-
tering house is very similar to the
slaughter house in Paris which is
known as La-Villette.

THEIR methods of slaughtering
and processing are very primitive.
The property is owned by the City
of Prague, and the wholesale sell
ing of meats is mainly controlled
by cooperatives.
They kill hogs, cattle and horses.
They tell me here that "horsemeat
is just as good as beef"

Peoples Publishing Association in

members of the association, which
supports The Star, attended the
meeting, at which directors were
elected.
zal Garfield, campaign mana
ger Of the Progressive Party, ex-
pressed his gratitude to the gath
ering for the support which The
Star gave to the new party during
the recent judicial campaign.
THE MEMBERS decided to de-
velop the most intensive drive pos
sible to raise a defense fund for
The Star through Dollars Against
Dilling," and to secure more sub
scriptions to the paper.
The association, which played a
major part in establishing The
Star, was especially urged to OBJ

William Sennett, business man.

said that $50 letters containing

We also visited the graves of

I asked our guide this question:
"What do you think was the
reason for the recent meeting in
Poland OF the nine leaders of the
European Communist Parties? Was
it the re-establishment of the
Communist Internationale?"
HE answered that the recent
meeting of these nine leaders was
for the purpose of setting up an
information bureau between lead
ers of parties that represent large
segments of the working people
of the various countries who have
a lot of things in common.
He said:
"As you know. there are in

JOHN HOPKINS

The greatest injustice we have
endured, since it is the trunk
from which branch cut the rest,
is that we have been deprived
of the right to vote. Because in
the South we WELD no power,
colored neighborhoods are neg
lected, our streets unpaved. our
parks almost nonresident, our
schools a tragic joke, and even
our rights before the bar are
openly violated.
Why? We must retrace our
steps a bit for the answer. The
first thing to remember is that
was not the main cause of the
Civil War This was only the prox-
innate cause and merely one of
a number of differences between
the North and the South. When
the war was over the attitude
of the North was one of misun-
derstanding and revenge. The gent
lie Lincoln had gone to his re-
ward, and the reconstruction Era
could hardly have been handled
worse. Only one slave in 20 could
read, and the North demanded
that they all get the right to vote
at once. instead of teaching them
how to vote. Our men had

us Mister. and let us starye.
The North offered no solution to
the engrossing problem of reloca-
ton and rehabilitation, which
should have been recognized as
tremendous. All that it did was
send Federal troops, not to
mention the carpetbaggers = to
enforce our right to vote. All this
paved the way for portentous
repercussion.
By the mid seventies not only
was the South bitter, hostile. and
rebellious, but the North, as well,
had grown weary of its Southern
headache. Thus it was that in
1876 the North. more willingly
than reluctantly, drew an abrupt
curtain on the Reconstruction Era.
The occasion was the campaign
in which Hays and Tilden tied
for the Presidency Three South
.ern states held the balance of
power, and in each state both
the Republican and Democratic
factions claimed to have won the
election. The Northern Republicans
in the worst act of political trad
ing our country has ever seen,
made a deal according to which
the South would let Hays in office,
and the North in return would
withdraw all Federal troops from
the South and leave the Negro
problem entirely up to the South
ern states.
In compliance with this bastard
ly compact. the Federal govern
ment became the champion of
states rights doctrine. and the
Supreme Court, which is somewhat
inclined to follow the policy of
the party in power, fell in line
and refused to interfere with the
Southern states, even where the
most basic constitutional rights
of the Negro were Haunted and
flung to the four winds.
From here on the story of the
South is as ugly as it is well
known. The Southern states, in a
wild orgy of revenge, against
Northern policy. passed thousands
Of confusing Jim Grow laws that
soon constituted a labyrinth of
social jungle. So effective were
the-e that, 70 years later, we
find 10000 Negroes able to vote
in the Deep South, when 100000
are entitled to vote.
However, the long dreary winter
of our discomfort is drawing to
a close, and the rising sun of
justice, in the form of an awak-
'ened Federal government, is max
ing its appearance on the horizon.
Two years ago the United States
Supreme Court declared white
primaries unconstitutional in
Texas test case. Many constitu-
tional authorities predict that with
in 10 years the poll tax will be
outlawed and that the Federal
government will step in and act
lively defend the Negroes right to
vote. With political equality viii
come economic opportunity, as
politicians vie with one another
for the colored vote. Best of all,
the use of the ballot for the
Negro. along with Federal grants
to inadequate schools, will raise
the educational and cultural stand
ards of our people, which. in turn,
will gradually break down present
racial barriers.
In this way our twofold prob
lem, employment discrimination
and residential segregation, will
diminuish until it gradually fades,
like the memory of some horrible
dream, from the scene of an
awakened America.
May God speed that day.
