NATIONS
MAKE CHOICES
BY GEORGE S. BENSON

AS DRASTIC and as devastating
as war is, ! am confident that the
economic troubles of many Euro
pam countries are not traceable
e0ti1ely to the aggTaVations of
wnr. Famine, wars, expressions:
those are symptoms, not causes.
Certain nations, like Switzerland,
fare surprisingly well amidst the
decay and chaos so common in
Europe. Little Switzerland is not
hollering for help. She is q free
enterprise country.
; OF course, Switzerland was not
Q belligerent, and hence was
spared some spoilage of war. But
n<eX comes news that Belgium is
p-ospering. What is the reason?
Belgium chose a free economic
system at the close Of the war,
when she might have taken some
foolish panacea. This little coun-
try rightly chose a system Of free
enterprise and economic freedom
as the system most likely to
bring recovery.
rrcctical A REASONABLE de-
Aethod gree Of freedom is en-
joyed by the Belgium
people. Reports have it that the
standard of living there is well
ep toward pre-war ievels. News
paper reports have called atten-
tion to Belgium's airline, Sabena,
which reported its net profit for
L.. year at $2,800,000. This has
happened despite the fact it

The Right To Vote

s~titution, and our tradition. 1t should not be
denied by political manipulation.
Solving of the issue is simple, as the revolt
leaders well know. Harold w. Gautier, coun-
ty Democratic Executive Committee chair
man, points out two solutions in a letter re-
printed on this page. Mr.. Gautier says:
Our laws could be amended to permit
the voters in our Democratic Primary this
summer to choose electors for the Electoral
College either who will vote for the (Na-
tional Democratic) party nominee, or who
would vote Independently and to the inter-
ests of the state and the South" or I'VE, as
Mississippians and Democrats could at the
Convention, select two sets of electors, one
pledged to support the party nominee, and
one pledged to act independently and as free
agents, and, in the November election (presi-
dentiaD the people could choose between
them as they have a right to do"
Along this line, Representative Phil Null
len of Oxford has introduced in the state
legislature a bill which would place on the
ballot the names of presidential and vice
presidential candidates in the November
national elections. In addition the ballot
would provide a list of unpledged electors
who would not be bound to vote for the
presidential or vice-presidential candidate of
any party.
This bill would give the voters the right
to decide the issue for themselves. If our
state political leaders believe in their cause,
and the people of Mississippi, they will
throw their weight behind the passage of
the bill so that Democratic principles will be
kept alive in our state.

The second multi-million dollar contract
in three weeks is announced in this issue
of the Chronicle-Star and Advertiser by the
ingalls, Shipbuilding Corporation. The con-
tract, for the construction OF a tanker,
amounts to 1900, 900.
This sum, added to the $4,000 for con-
version of the troopship Richardson, amounts
to a total of almost seven and one-half mil
lion dollars worth of work secured by the
ompany during the past three weeks.
Other contracts already underway at the
yard add up to a considerable backlog of
work. and is cheerful news for Jackson
county and its citizens who are employed
at the yard.
It might be pointed out that this backlog
of work involves several million dollars in
wages. These wages will be spent in a multi
tude of ways just plain living expenses,
payments on homes and purchase of new
automobiles and refrigerators but a por-
ton of all of it will go into the state treasury

The continued silence of state political
leaders on the question OF whether Missis-
sippi Democratic voters are going to be
allowed to express themselves on the re-
volt" issue leaves room for no other conclu-
sion but that they are not, if they can pos
sibly help it.
We continue to see printed statements from
these leaders concerning a mandate" and
the Overwhelming wishes" of the people,
but we have yet to hear the first faint, ra-
tional and honest whisper from any one of
the leaders of the revolt concerning the fun
damental right of the free white Democratic
voters of Mississippi to decide this issue them
selves at the ballot box, instead of having it
decided for them by a handful of politicians
at Jackson.
There is no question but that the vast
majority of Mississippians are solidly be-
hind the principles of the fight, but on the
other hand there is also strong evidence that
more and more Mississippi Democrats are
resenting the manner in which it is being
handled politically.
1t is alarming to see developing in Missis-
sippi a political pattern in which the people
are to be denied the right to vote on an issue
vital to them. If indicated plans are carried
through they will be given only the choice
of voting 'yes" or not voting at all.
Individual sentiments on the civil rights"
issue have no bearing on whether or not
Mississippi Democrats will be allowed to
exercise their right to use a free and secret
ballot to decide this issue for themselves.
That right is guaranteed to them by our Con-
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-03-19

the right to continue its future
operations as it has in the past.
We hope that the Republican
dominated Congress will real
ize this and turn thumbs down
on Mr. McKellar's proposal,
thus denying him, as the Demo-
cratic Congress has consistently
done, his bald grab for patron
age.

Committee has been conspici-

Condor was charged by the

charges were based largely on
quotations from a letter writ

opinions about DR.. Condon's

coincidence the one sentence
of the letter unequivocally alb

that his investigators had cop

in the form of sales tax.
1t will also be reflected in many other
forms of tax payments, the total of which
will come close to the $750,OOO being sought
from the state by Jackson county to dredge
the Pascagoula ship channel to a sufficient
depth to allow the ingalls, yard to compete on
a parity with other major shipyards of the
United States. Operations of the yard is SER
iously handicapped by the shallow ship
channel and much prospective future ship
building will have to be passed up by the
company unless the channel is d%eepened.
1t seems to us that the state would be max
ing both a wise and a soun investment in
appropriating this money. 1t would put the
states largest industry in an excellent posi-
ton for future operations, and thus assure
the state treasury of the continuance of a
source of revenue which has been respon-
sible for payment of SIS, 0O0, 900 in state sales
tax alone directly into the states general
fund during the past nine years.

81 have read, with considera-
BILE interest, the copy of the Reso-
luton which you sent me. | note
particularly paragraph number 3
in which your Committee re-
solves:
IS. That loyal Mississippi
Democrats must be absolutely
certain that the States nine Pres
idential Electors will follow the
dictates of the overwhelming ma
iority of the Democrats of the
State and thereby cast their votes
in the Electoral College, etc"
81 note particularly in para
graph number ten that your Com
mittee also resolves:
10. That it is the sense of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee that this is the peo-
Piles fight and that it must be
carried on by all the people of
Mississippi and should not be used
as a vehicle for furthering any
individuals political ambition"
"Now, what / can't understand
and what thousands of other
Mississippians can't understand
is how your Committee has the
nerve to refer to the dictates
of the overwhelming majority of
Democrats Of the State" and re-
fuses to give such Democrats an
opportunity to support your po-
sition and that Of the Governors
by their vote.
81. Are you afraid of the DEM
ocratic voters of Mississippi?
20. Do you believe that the
Mississippi Democrats are too
ignorant to vote on an issue of
this Importance?
80. Is it your purpose to steam
roller this proposition through,
when you know that the ballot
is the only way to- get the ex-
preston and will of the people?
81 can't understand how, in
paragraph ten of your Resolution,
YOU agree that "this is the peo-
Piles fight and that it must be
