BABYLON IS NOT
DEAD"

BY JOHN H. CLARKE
No, Babylon Is not dead,

In the grinning face Of a red-cap
In Pennsylvania Station
And later in the movements

And only last night, saw Baby
lon
Preaching against race hatred
From a step-ladder, on Lenox
Avenue.
No, Babylon is not dead;

sang;

Babylon is in the oppressed race
Rising from under the yoke of
oppression,
Perhaps Babylon did sleep for

But Babylon never died
This is the day Of Babylon's

On SeBreBauon IN the Nauons
Capital. President George N.
Shuster Of Hunter College, New
York City, is chairman, and DR..
Joseph D. Lehman Of the Depart
ment Of Sociology, University Of
Chicago, is Executive Director.
October 1916 a sub-committee
called the Research Committee
was formed and field work start
ed on a survey Of race relations
and civil rights in the District Of
Columbia. The field work lasted
until July 1947. Then the work Of
analyzing and collating the mate
rial and preparing the basic man
uscript took until January, 1913.
The basic manuscript was turned
over to Kenesaw NJ. lands, II, for
reduction and restatement in pop
ular form. Tom Barrett worked
with him doing the cover and the
graphics. Together lands and
Barrett have produced a powerful
short Report which has made
headlines in newspapers all over
the country and the world.
The original basic manuscript
is being re-edited and will ulu-
mately appear in book form. 1t
will be the authoritative document
on the present state of race rela-
tons and civil rights in the Ma
tons Capital. Over 10000 has
already been spent on the survey,
editing and publication; and the
work is far from done.
The Committee started from
the principle that the District of
Columbia belongs to the American
people as a whole, and should re-
fleet the best-not the worst-in
democratic practices and values.
Congress and the President have
full and exclusive control over the
District; the States as such have
no rights in the District.
Segregation Is In the District
Of Columbia only because the
Federal Government tOIerates
and supports Il, and will 20 just
as soon as the Federal Govern
ment determines that II shall
go.
1t Is interesting historically
that seven years after the Civil
War, when the citizens Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia had the vote,
the Legislative Assembly of the
District of Columbia passed a civil
rights act. On June 20, 1872 the
Legislative Assembly of the Dis
trict of Columbia imposed a fine
of 500 and forfeiture of license
on any restaurant, hotel, ice-cream
saloon or soda fountain, barber
shop or bathing house keeper who
refused under any pretext to serve
any well-behaved, respectable per-
son, in the same room and at the
same prices as other well-behaved
and respectable persons.
Later Congress abolished the
Legislative Assembly, took away
from the District citizens the
right to vote, and repealed the

AGELESS AGE

BY WILLIAM HENRY HUFF
Whenever one starts walking slow
AS II he has no where to go,
His evening sun is setting.
When one begins to feel his way
AS If he treads on miry clay,
He, then, is feeble getting,
And, yet, his mind can active be
Though he be blind and cannot
see,
Decrepit, old and fretting.
But, here in truth, 1 must assert
A mind can always be alert
No matter what may be the age
A man can be a seasoned sage.

on the Record
By Nathan Ziprin

Scoop e.
The story behind the Arab
boast that 1000 Britons had en-
listed to fight against the Jews
in Palestine is one of the most
sordid in Britain's postwar his
tory. The enlisted are anti
Semites and fascistS who were
picked by Mosleyite leaders in
England. These fanatics not
only consider themselves the van
guard of a crusade to crush the
remnant of European Jewry
through multiplying the UN parti-
ton decision but the core of a
"Storm Troopers" force which, its
leaders hope, will ultimately seize
control of Britain itself. Bev-
ms antagonism to a Jewish state
is the result of an obsession. &.
He fancies Jewish communists
were behind the opposition which
developed against him in the
transport workers union. In
fact the only Jewish transport
workers in England are the taxi
drivers, and their number is in
significant.
A Columnist's Delight -.
Gerald L. X. Smith is headd
for real trouble. He is to have his
financial sources exposed. {.
The financial leak" resulted from
a fight over money matters be-
tween Smith and the equally con-
temptible Father TerminellO. {.
II the frantic efforts now on hand
to patch up the Smith -TerminellO
feud fail there will be fireworks
when Smith appears before the
committee. Its investigators
are on the trail of mysterious
and sensational document. A
reliable informant tells us the
document may be a "share-the-
prOfits-frOm-prOpaganda" agree
ment among certain of Americas
hate-and-race mOngerS.
The Political Outlook =.
One fact is emerging clearly
The U. S. will keep its par
tition commitment. If Zionist
leaders retain self-control our
enemies will lose the war of
nerves. If there should be a
UN military force, opposition to
a Russian token force will be
greatly reduced if Russia prom
ises not to move its troops via
land routes but by ships from
Odessa. April 1 is the next
important date. On or before
that date the UN commission will
have to appoint the provisional
council of government for the
Jewish state. When, on May
Is, the mandate is surrendered
Tel Aviv will automatically be
available as port to the UN COM
mission and the Jewish govern
ment. The Jewish government
will then be able to import arms
and bring in immigrants. .
Unanswered Questions -.
Among the questions most per-
sistently heard in Washington this
week were: Why had neither the
White House nor the State De-
partment limited its position in ad-
vance? =. Why did they conceal
their plans so carefully? =. Why
did they mislead the American
public with statements that there
had been no reversal of policy . /.
Why must the Big Five, which in
the past have been unable to agree
on single major issue, first decide
that what is happening in Pales-
tine is a threat to world peace
