Maynard Before Group.
The Ferguson subcommittee met
behind closed doors this morning
with E. T. Maynard, Chicago trader
who Secretary of Agriculture An
derson has said made more than
$500 900 on the recent market break.
Neither Mr.. Maynard nor Senator
Ferguson would comment on the
session.
The Appropriations Subcommittee
is one of three congressional groups
investigating speculation. The House
has a special committee looking into
lit. The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee is checking on 1t in connec-
ton with study of a request from
Secretary Anderson for more powers
over commodity trading. Several
members have opposed giving 1t to
him.
At the Agriculture groups hear
ings, Darwin S. Fenner, director OF
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
opposed Mr.. Anderson's proposal to
permit for regulation of margins.
1--WE believe this is the road to
Socialism or Communism or call 1t
what you WILL" Mr.. Fenner said.
"We do not believe the American
people want to follow this road.
Destroy the speculative system with
its profit motive and you are lend
ing direct aid to those who would
destroy democracy"
Columbus Speculation Recalled.
Mr.. Fenner said that speculation
is "as old as mankind" He called
Columbus a Spectator willing to
hazard his life to prove the correct
ness of his calculations that the
earth was round
Secretary Anderson's request for
controls over the margin require
ments met immediate response even
before the hearings opened.
I'm against it," Senator Bush
field, Republican, of South Dakota
told reporter. 1--WE have too many
controls now. He (Secretary Ander-
SOM could be virtual dictator un-
der the proposal"
Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana disagreed with Secretary
Anderson that small spectators
have caused sharp rises and falls
in commodity markets in the post

Submits Trading Statement.
Senator Thomas wrote that at
the. request of the committee he
had submitted statement outlining
at length the nature of his trans
actions in bonds, stocks and COM
modities since he entered the Senate
in 1927.
He added that he also gave the
committee complete information on
his wifes commodity trading.
Senator Thomas said that If the
committee thinks it is in the public
interest to spend public funds to
investigate his private affairs,
then it should be in the public in
terest to investigate the affairs OF

He proposed a Senate rule that
every Senator must file under oath

The dangerous disease of race
hate, which bears so heavily upon
Negro citizens, and at the same
time drags the masses of southern
white citizens into the common
quagmire of poverty and ignor-
ance and political servitude is not
an isolated problem to be at
tackled completely apart from our
other national problems. 1t is part
of an ever more dominant philos-
ophy of dollars above men, of
property values over human val
lIeS.
The Jimcrow system pays hand
some profits TO a small number
of men in positions of economic
and political power. Jimcrow di-
vides white and Negro for the
profit of the few. 1t is a very
profitable system. indeed.
We have only TO examine the
wages paid 10 white and Negro
workers in southern agriculture
OAAA AA0ASAAX AZ see now PROM
able this system is. We find. of
course. that Negro workers re-
ceive many millions of dollars
less pay than the same number
of white men doing similar Jobs.
But that is only part of the profits
from jimcrow. We look further
and find that southern white
workers receive far lower wages
than their brothers in the north.
II is then that we get some mea-
sure of the tremendous fortunes
which are wrung out of the hides
of white workers by system
which divides Negro and white
and increases the exploitation of
both.
Americas trade unions must be
strengthened for they are trying
to fight jimcrow. Jimcrowism puts
many millions of extra dollars
every year into the pockets of
the owners and rulers of the
south. 1t is good business" for
the few; but it means ignorance,
Acknowledgement, poverty, I'M
REIMBURSEMENT, disease, terror,
and death for many.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1948-02-07

political leaders who are m t
adept at carrying truth to the
people. 1t is trying to intimidate
into silence the professors, teach
ers, scientists, and ordinary citi-
zens who like TO speak the truth.
1t is receiving whole-hearted as
sistance from the craven men of
the motion picture industry. 1t
will receive similar assistance
from the BIG MONEY MEN of
the Boards of trustees of Univer-
sites and colleges. The Un-Amer-
lean Committee is a fortress for
the defense of jimcrow.
