Is The Press
Free?

Whenever read about the
controlled press they have I'm
certain foreign countries -
where truth is suppressed
feel mighty proud of our free
American press.
OF course that word free"
doesn't mean completely un-
controlled. The press has its
own Association with its own
code of ethics-and is usually
mighty quick to warn any in
dividual who oversteps b Q
bounds of common decency or
honesty.
It's the same in many other
fndustries-like the folks who
make and sell beer. They have
their own standards-and pro-
tect them vigilantly. The Brew
ers call II a "Self Regulation"
Program whereby retailers get.
ing out of line are warned, and
reported to the authorities for
discipline II needed.
From where ! sit, freedom
is a great thing-but a respon-
sibility, too. And in shoulder
ing that responsibility. and
keeping their own house I'm
order, the Brewers are pro-
tecting your and my right to
enjoy a moderate beverage like
beer.

ANOTHER VICTORY

In the face of growing bitter
ness over the race issue In some
areas. we are happy to report that
the American sense of fair play
is weathering the storm.
For the first time in its history
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association admitted a Negro to
the National Indoor championship
tournament. DR.. Reginald S. Weir
of New York, a veteran tennis
star, was accepted by the tourna-
ment committee of the Associa-
ton.
Organized 81 years ago, the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation has up until recently fol-
lowed the pattern If exclusion
which still eharacterizes the golf
and bowling sports. In some re-
spect the USLTA has been more
exclusive. Their action in drop
ping the color bar becomes all the
more praiseworthy.
In few fields has more genuine
progress been made in race rela-

AS the barriers have fallen in
football, baseball and tennis, they
will shortly fall in golf and bowl.
ing. More than this. If Negroes
and whites can play together on
a basis of equality. they can also
work together in the same man
ner.
The defeataist line that our
cause is hopeless is a dangerous
doctrine whether 1t comes from
the extremists on the left or on
the right. Credits on the ledger
of race relations are piling up de-
spite all the political bowling
above and below the Mason and
Dixon line. The facts show that
our cause is marching on.-Chi-
cago Defender.

tions than In the field of sports.
The most telling victory, OF
course, came last year when
Branch Hickey opened the gates
of major league baseball.
Our national sports leaders are
learning a great truth. They have
discovered that the American pub
lie will not only accpet Negro
participants in sports contests but
the public will make heroes out
of Negroes who excel.
1t is folly to believe the South
ern demagogues who insist that
equality of opportunity cannot be
realized in this country in our
times. These demagogues do not
speak for the people, the rank
and file who make up our great
nation.

THE AIM OF
THE KHAN

There was nothing accidental
about the fact that the big Khan
demonstration and cross-burning
at Wrightsville, Georgia, recently
was staged on the eve Of a local
primary election.
About four hundred Negro resi-
dents of the country there had
registered and were prepared to
exercise, like good American citi-
zens, their constitutional right to
vote. The Khan demonstration was
calculated to strike fear in the
hearts of these colored citizens
and keep them away from the
polls. The trick worked.
1t will be recalled that the Khan
was first organized during the
Reconstruction period in order to
wrest political power away from
Negroes. The lily-white political
control of the South has always
been the bulkward of white-su-
premacy. 1t was threatened after
the Civil War and 1t is threat
ened again today.
The United States Supreme
Court decisions outlawing the
white primary system struck a
telling blow in Dixie. This Is the

Following The Color Line

root-cause of the present so-called
Southern rebellion against. Presi-
dent Truman and the Northern
Democrats.
Since the outlawing the white
primary. Southern Negroes have
exhibited a keen interest in poll
tical affair and in some cities
the votes of Negroes have upset
old political machines, even in the
state of Georgia.
The demagogues who now con-
troll Dixie politics are frightened
and worried over their future.
They feel their jobs and special
privileges are at stake. When
President Truman indicated that
he was out of sympathy with these
bigots in his famous Civil Rights
Message to Congress, the revolt
was on.
The Khan is nothing more than
a big stick in the hands of the
Dixie demagogues who intend to
keep the political life of the
South lily-white. What they cannot
win by law they hope to get by
terrorism. The Khan method of in
timidation is frowned upon by
many white Southerners but they
too are now being inundated
by the professional political boss
es.
When the Klansmen scream
about the need for protecting "the
white womanhood of the South"
they are merely seeking to just
ify their campaign to keep the
Negro out of political life. The
only women who need protecting
in the South are colored women.
Despite the resurgence of organ
lied bigotry and the revival of
the Khan, we do not believe that
Negroes can any longer be exclud-
ed frof participation in the polite
al life of the South. The United
States Supreme Court has made
1t abundantly clear that the right
of all citizens to vote in all cleo
lions is fundamental in our demo
cratic system.
