US here in the deep South are
fully conscious Of the fact that
the vast majority Of the descend
ants Of the slavocrats are still en-
gagged in the prosecution Of the
Civil War. We are painfully aware
Of the fact that these uncnlightened
haters Of the handiwork Of God
believe in political and economic
bondage for the descendants Of
the freed men who numbered A.
100000 the day after Lincoln
signed the Emancipation Proclama-
ton.
The chains and Jokes Of economic
and political slavery are still Tiy-
etcd around the wrists and necks
Of the colored citizens below the
Mason-Dixon line. Those people
can only be said to have truly made
progress in proportion to the ex-
tent to which they participate in
the making and the administration
Of the laws under which they live.
There is no other freedom.
Caravan Of the Living Dead"
Millions and millions Of colored
people are, fguratively speaking,
caravan of living dead. The eco
nomic and political masters have
murdered them as effectively as
did Adolph Hitler the 100000
Jews in Europe. The maintenance
of economic and political enslave-
ment Of colored people in the deep
south means more to millions of
non-blacks in the deep South than
the Tenth Commandment, the Ser
mon on the Mount and every jot
and title Of the Holy Writ, or the
death of so many millions of
young men in war.
Colored people, who resignedly
accept economic or political slav-
cry, aid and abet the forces which
take bread out of their children's
mouths, the forces responsible for
the death Of millions from malnu-
triton, tuberculosis, social diseases,
and the multitudinOus thousands
who grope along the corridors Of
life with broken backs and stu
pified minds.
This nation cannot have per-
manent peace, prosperity or con-
tribute to the building of world
peace, until we have made il
possible for every man of good
will, industry. conservation. and
appreciation to earn what any
other many earn in a free,
competitive, democratic society,
regardless Of race. creed. or col
or. II is impossible for millions
Of men TO earn an honest living
in America.
Death Before Continued Slavery
1t is the duty Of our leaders to
have the nation understand the i'm
plications of such a situation. II
our present leaders cannot do this,

A motion or resolution affirm

eral elections

Since the Mississippi legislature
convened in special session March
there have been six bills intro
duced in that body to accomplish
this purpose One of these bills
follows the South Carolina plan Of
resembling all primary election
laws. Another seeks to remove the
exemption Of colored war veterans
from poll tax payments during the
period they served in the armed
forces. The four most recently in
troduced measures would empower
the Democratic state and county
executive committees to set up
rules and regulations to restrict
party primaries to white persons
only.
Despite the advocacy by Gov
ernor Field L. Wright Of Missis-
sipPi in his message to the legiS-
| lature that the state adhere to the
doctrine Of states rights in de
filming primary voting privileges, a
review Of the report Of the Select
Committee on the Election of Presi-
dent, Vice President and Represen-
tatives, made to the Fifty first Con-
gress, clearly establishes the right
Of the Federal Government to make
such regulations as it may deem
necessary to insure free and hon
est elections.

consideration a bill providing that

Wanted: A Moses To
Lead Southern Negroes
Out of BOndage-Durr
BY ROBERT DURR

in the world who can take her man
from her. When a race Of people
or a nation looks into the looking
glass Of time, they see the only
people who can permanently en-
slave them. More important, they
see the only people who can really
set them free.
Millions and millions Of Negroes
must make up their minds that
they are not going to be economic
or political slaves. This is going
to mean that millions who accept
the place Of servants on the basis
Of race or color as an end in itself
are going to have to quit quietly
that walk Of life and, if necessary,
get out yonder some place and dig
or hack a living and life out of
the earth.
| make bold to say that fully
100000 colored people in the
South are servants, who exist for
white society which puts the
political and economic enslavement
Of them above their fealty to the
God who made them. | also make
bold to say that fully 80 per cent
Of the top leaders in our ranks are
instruments in the hands of the
predatory economic and political
slavocrats .who traffic for putrid
profit in this sort of thing.
A Moses Needed
A Moses who is acquainted
with this wilderness must be
born unto us. We must take
care of this Moses when he
comes. We must obey him when
he speaks. lie will or must be
one who loves mankind, who lives
to serve humanity, one who will
work for universal peace and
universal brotherhood.
Must BE Without Prejudice
This new leader must be one
who is without prejudice, and yet
will work and fight for the aboli-
ton of all kinds of prejudice. He
must be one who will give Of him
self to the end that women may
enjoy all the freedom enjoyed by
men in a free and democratic So
ciety, and in which every man and
woman works, where every effort
shall be made to abolish the evil
Of extreme poverty and extreme
wealth.
The Importance Of recognizing
that men really worship God when
they work to earn their bread and
insuring equality of opportunity
for others to do likewise without
being penalized because Of race, re-
ligion or nationality, is a lesson to
be learned anew.
Hitler Took Cue From L. :.
There are 100000 colored peo-
pie in the South who are economic
and political slaves. Their mas
tiers are determined to keep them
as such. And in so doing. millions
and millions are being destroyed
This crime is upon the heads of all
Americans. 1t was the source
from which Hitler got his inspira-
ton to set the world on fire. The
slaves and men Of good will who
accept this situation without strug-
gle, and the demons of Satan who
impose this system upon the apa-
thetic unless convicted and CON
verted. will drag us into another
world war and the total destruc-
tion Of the human race.
Wherever you have economic
and political slavery today, you
have a disease that is worse than

would modify a veterans prefer

that he would be unable to bump"
