Jurors in South Carolina Should Take
Lesson From Nine in Trial Held Here

gated. This was the statement that
was made in the city of Washington
at a time when the Daughters OF
the American Revolution were re-
newing their ban against the use
of Constitution Hall by Negro art
lists. It was a deliberate play upon
the racial prejudice that the counsel
for the defense apparently thought
that the Negroes might have.
The jurors listened attentively
Then they went out and considered
the evidence and the defense sum-
nation with its inferences and allu-
sions. And then they brought in a
verdict of guilty on all counts.
Defense Thought Wrong.
What happened was that the de-
fense attorney had. just as many
do who pay lip service to liberalism
and lose no oportunity to decry race
prejudice, thought of his jury in
terms Of Negroes and whites instead
of thinking of it as composed of
American citizens. He found out, toe
late, that they were citizens. Here
was a demonstration in American
ism that the race-proud matrons OF
the OAR might we'll have taken with
them when they adjourned in Wash
ington to return to their widely
scattered homes. But I, for one. am
willing to wager that none of them
did,
| Those Negroes who sat on the
jury, listening to this Washington
lawyer trying to play upon theif
emotions by cataloguing the ancient
and continuing wrongs to which
they and other members of their
race have been subjected, could well
have found the defendant not guilty
/ That they didn't is to their credit
That they made up their minds on
the basis of the evidence and not
upon their anxieties or emotions Is
to be commended. They deserve a
vote of thanks for citizenship, above
and beyond the reach of prejudice
Some day perhaps the same thing
can be said of such a white jury as
the one in South Carolina that
struck justice down in its very
temple.

Hoover's conclusions, which are
based on long study of conditions
and several. investigations under
taken at the request of President
Truman. The Chief Executive him
self is reported to share most OF
MIR. Hoover's contentious.
The economic and political situ-
alton in Europe can be described as
the most perfectly organized con-
dition of chaos the world has ever
known. There are several points OF
economic vacuum in Europe, as well
as in Asia, and American resources
are being sucked into them in such
quantities that if the flow continues
they will be drained off in the fore
seeable future.
| Russian Policy Blamed.
| We cannot afford to let the world
starve. This is an American axiom
which no political party in this
country can change. However, pres
ent chaotic conditions will never oe
corrected as long as Russia has her
way, which is to mulct certain parts
of Europe of their substance while
generating chaos in Others
| For the last two years we have
been pouring money and raw and
manufactured materials into Europe
while Russia transferred to her own
territory whole industrial plants
| from the occupied areas. She also
has taken many raw materials ma
tive to the countries behind the iron
curtain, much private loot from pri-
yate individuals and subsistence
from the land for her armies Of
occupation.

alleged confessions that 26 of the
cab drivers had made.
| The jurymen also heard an i'm
passioned plea from the defense at
itorneys-a plea slyly and subtly
saturated with race hate. They
heard the defense attorney tell
them that they should rebuke the
Northerners who had taken an in
terest in the case.
First of Race Prejudice.
| Judge j. Robert Martin, jr., who is
credit to his profession and to
the bench, did everything in his
power to keep the racial issue out.
He was an American, sturdily try
| ing to mete out American justice.
But the defense counsel continually
played with the fire of race preju-
dice.
The defense cited Northern publi-
cations and radio commentators to
support its accusation that the ac-
cused were victims of the incurable
malady of ''meddler's Itch One of
| the defense attorneys asked the jury
to recall THAT the North never
sympathizes with us, always criti-
ciZes us. ever since they laid waste
to our land and burned every piece
of Southern property"
The jurors also heard the judge
tell them that the confessions made
by the taxicab drivers were evidence
that the defendants had lynched in
cold blood the Negro who, allegedly,
had murdered one of their number.

of course, with the appeal to race

/ Talked of Persecution.
The defense attorney spent much
of his time picturing the accused as
defender of Negroes as a race, and
when it came to the final argu-
ment, he pulled out all of the stops
He told the jury that the accused
was the victim of persecution. He
talked about Abraham Lincoln.

ran, Yalta and Potsdam which were
not 100 per cent in favor of the
II. S. S. r. have been violated by
Moscow. Our efforts to conclude a
peace treaty with the Germans have
failed so far because Russia, was re-
fused more than her share. The
only peace treaties we have been
able to conclude have been those
with Italy and the Balkan satellites,
which were on Gernany's side dur
ing the war and are now dominated
by Soviet generals.
The essence of these treaties Is
In their retention of Russia's present
satellites behind the iron curtain
The treaty with italy, where there
lis no Russian army of occupation
makes it possible that within two
years after ratification America will
be called on to provide italy with
the means to pay war indemnities
to Russia and Yugoslavia.
Treaties. Before Senate.
t Thus, while no progress is made
to provide Germany and Japan with
la peace treaty, enabling them to get
back on their feet economically, the
United States Senate has before ii
five other treaties. They have been
approved by the U. S. S. R., either
because they place some of these
former Nazi satellites completely in
Russian power, or because, as in the
case of ITALY, they permit a con-
tinued drain on American resources
In his letter to Representative
Taber, Mr., Hoover voiced the feeling
Iof number of officials when he
suggested that separate peace
treaties be concluded Immediately
with Germany and Japan, regardless
!of whether Russia joins the effort
to restore peace or not.
The attitude of some State De-
partment officials that we must pro-
iceed cautiously lest we offend Rus
STA is no longer valid, in the opinion
of the former President. The Amer
icap Government has shown itself
more than cooperative and has not
hesitated to draw on the purses and
resources of its citizens to help
create better world
But those efforts have not been
successful, obviously, because of the
handicaps raised by our wartime
ally. Hence, If the next foreign
ministers conference in London
proves as fruitless as that in Mos
COW, there will be no other solution
than to conclude a separate peace

TheGreat Game ofPolitics
Passage of Labor Bill to Testify
To Lack of Fear by CONGRESS

| the Senate bill, somewhat improved
and rewritten but not changed In
any major way. In making this
possible the House leaders deserve
credit for wisdom and restraint. BY
insistence on their own views they
easily might have insured no legis-
lation at all, which would have been
a tremendous victory for the labor
bosses and great disappointment
to the country
AS things are, the final form OF
the bill, though. by no means as
strong in some respects as many
would like, will contain provisions
calculated to restore a more even
balance between industry and or
garlized labor. The unions will be
made amenable to laws that apply
to the rest of us and some of the
power by which the economic life
of the Nation could be threatened
will be curbed.
The main thing, however, is that
the final form of the bill insures
its being sent to the President by
an overwhelming vote of both
branches of Congress. Also, its finaI
form will make it far more Difficult,
for the President to veto. But in
case of a veto it will be much harder
for Democratic Senators who voteo
for the bill in the Senate to squirm
away from their position.
Psychological Effect Great.
Thus the chances of overriding
the veto will be greatly increased
That in itself will be another reason
for there not being a veto to over
ride. Altogether, the prospects that
the Conference Committees report
will become law are very good, in
deed.
To many the bare fact that a
regulatory law to which the labor
lobby and its left-wing adherents
violently object and which its prop
agandists brand as vicious and
wicked, is almost as important as
the merits of the. measure. Some
/ say more SO. Certainly, the psyche
logical effect will be very great
1t will be concrete demonstration
that Congress no longer lives in
dread of the labor bosses nor cringes
when they crack the whip.
For nearly IA years they not only
have been able to pass every piece
of legislation they desired, no mat
ter how unfair and one-sided, but
they have been able to block every
effort of Congress to curtail their
authority. In those years politicians
quaked at their political powers tc
a really ridiculous extent. In those
years they not only dominated Con-
gress but they were rapidly reach
ing the point where they could run
the country. .
The enactment of this law, re-
lgardless of what Is in it, will prove
that danger past. 1t will show that
Congress knows now the dreaded
political power was terrifically ex-
aggerated. 1t will be a great thine
to have Congress reasonably freee
of fear and able to express its views
without trembling.

had lost all sense of direction and
Congress was on the loose.
Consider these facts. With the
labor bosses and their journalistic
and political spokesmen shouting
about slave labor" and vehemently
denouncing the proposals before
they even knew their nature, the
House passed a concededly strong
bill by more than two-thirds vote,
Including over 80 Democrats. Clear
ly, this vote indicated that the
House as a whole believed its bill
reflected the wishes of the people
as a whole
Then while the press and the air
were filled with predictions that
President Truman would veto the
House bill-or, in fact, any bill
the Senate passed a much milder,
though still an effective measure,
with a considerable number of teeth
Piloted by Senator Taft, more than
two-thirds of the Senate voted for
this bill, including 81 Democrats and
Republican Senator Ives, of New
York-a recognized friend of union
labor.
Conference Brings Decision.
The Senate opposition was COM
posed mostly of the bleeding heart"
Republicans like Senator Wayne
Morse, of Oregon, and the CLIO
statesmen of the Murray Pepper
Thomas type.
Then the House and Senate bills
were referred to the Conference
Committee, whose duty it is to rec
oncile their differences and report
back with a measure acceptable to
both branches. Right here is where
the Republicans have shown sense
Convinced that Mr.. Truman would
veto the tougher House bill, with
its ban on industry wide bargain
ing, and aware that while the House
would override the veto, the Senate
almost surely would not, the. Re-
publicans had to choose between the
milder billsor none. This fact was
convincingly presented by the Sen
ate leaders and also by Democratic
Senator Byrd, of Virginia.
In this situation, Chairman Hart
ley of the House Committee and
other House leaders took the posi-
ton that results meant more than
having their own way or their own
particular bill. In the Conference
Committee they already have re-
ceded from the sitter of the House
provisions.
Enough has now been disclosed of
the agreements therein to make 1t
reasonably sure that what will
emerge from the committee will be

All OF Mr. Grahams optimism and efforts would be in
