Good dividends and earnings were
helpful, as Were mounting com
modify prices. Margin trading,
brokers reported, expanded in the

full for rails and industrials, at the

ation," dedicated to the main OBJ
ject of integrating the Negroes
cause with the whole national
and world cause OF freedom and
anti-fascism. The phanlax Of the
white friends of the Negro, al
though operating in labor, church
business, other spheres, needs
now to be brought into a great
special camp, with the driving
fervor of the old abolitionist
movement at It's helm. Such
force must be inevitably allied
with all those great Franklin d.
Roosevelt dreams, motives and
probabilities which are by no
means dead in America but wait
ing the press Of the right button
to swing once more into motion
The Wallace ideal and the reor-
ganization Of the coalition OF

honest, the plain people the min
orites, the liberal Republicans
and Democrats all these must
and will gather together and go
forward to higher society
Conrad's own faith in immi-
nent Negro liberation is stated in
the conclusion of Jim Crow
America" where he says:
II know that Negro liberation
is enevitable as I know that ul-
timately the liberation of all the
people in the world is inevitable.
for know that the struggle for
economic and political security
is now a world institution,
Our country. historical land of
democratic principles, must make
the decision to vanquish racism
- II a major task of progress
century ago was the abolition OF
chattel slavery, there can be no
doubt that in the present hour
comparably immense objective is
the abolition Of the institutions
OF discrimination legalized pre-.
JUDGE and barriers to national
group and understanding. Amer.
lea cannot be a free land and at
the same time the land of
Jim Crow.
