lieved and followed. In that case,
equal rights would be guaranteed
to all Americans because the doc
trine of inalienable rights is fun
damental to the Christian religion
But fascists, who use the word
Christian as cloak for their ne
farious activity do not want that
kind of America. They ferventy
desire to create condition in
this country favorable to the es-
tablishment of the kind of govern
ment which will be dominated by
their poverty stricken and ugly
brand of bigotry which they dare
to equate with religion.
Theirs would be a form of dista
torshiy which, once established,
would Cypress all-not only those
whom they first attack - but all,
For fascism has, as its deep and
permanent purpose, the degrada-
ton of every human soul. Its mi
tial propaganda. which is against
Jews, Negroes, Catholics, or Pros
tants. is but the means for gath
ering following with which la
ter to launch its assault against
every mans liberty.
This is fascism. And between il
and American democracy there is
nothing in common. Americans
who know what they are about
cannot give their allegiance to {
system like that. Neither can they
cooperate with people who have
already given their allegiance tC
a system like that -- and they
shouldn't They should oppose
them with all the strength o.

the brief and this is the first time
that this argument has been pre-
scented to the United States Su-
preme Court on the question of
the invalidity of segregation sta
tutes in public schools The brief
concludes with the following state
ment:
The examination of the Sc
parate but equal doctrine re-
veals that it is at best bare con-
stitutional hypothesis based upon
a fallacious evaluation OF the Iur-
pose and meaning inherent in
any policy or theory of enforced
racial separation. 'rhiG Court
should not recognize such dec-
trine in the absence nf clear md
unmistakable evidence that such
enforced separation affords she
equality guaranteed by the FcMr-
teenth Amendment. which 'eC Ia
lily this Court has, while PISS
ing upon the validity Of segit ga
ton statutes, assumed actually TO
exist.
1T he fragrant determination
against the petitioner il this - Sc
is directly in the tuuth of the
Fourteenth Amendment am was
made with full knowledge Of the
decision of this CcUu in the
Gaines case. The respondents lnly
defense is a reliance upon Gel tain
languare in this Courts opinion.
Petitioner has already lost ,p0re
that year Of legal training which
she would have received hai she
not been Negro. This petitic ner's

affirmative action of uhis court in

There are people in this eoun-
try who let themselves be used as
the foils and dupes of the fascists.
Yet, every American surely
knows that Americanism stresses
above all else the fact that men
possess inalienable rights and that
they possess these rights equally
without respect to race, color, re-
ligion, or national origin -- a doc
trine to which fascism is hostile.
For there is not fascst group
in this country which is not con-
sciously concerned with denying
rights to the people of some RAJ
cial or religious group. More Of
ten than not Jews are the first
target of the fascists. Frequently,
linked with the Jews as the OBJ
ject of their propaganda, are Ca
tholics, Protestants, or Negroes.
But regardless of who their in
tended victims are irrespective
of their race or religion 1870 the
fascistS have one purpose, 1t is

ganda against these people 10 be-
stir such hatred of them as will
issue in their degradation.
Sometimes, as with the Ku Klux
Khan, fascist propaganda is car
red on in the name Of white SUI
premary Its emphasis in this
case. is racial, Sometimes, as in
the case of the so-called Christian
Front, its pretenSe is that fascists
strive for a Christian America.
They do not mean Christian
America. For Christian America

pies of Christianity would be be-
