LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Anderson Disagrees With
Miss. Papers Comparison
OF Russians and Negroes

Editor: l take issue with a part
of the editorial in the Tupelo Daily
Journal which you quoted in your
issue of December Path. 1 readily
agree that the Negro has made
great progress during his eighty
five years of freedom, not only in
Mississippi, but elsewhere in the
United States, but when the editor
compares the Negroes progress in
Mississippi with the progress of
the Russians, who he says were set
free two years previous to the
Negro, then his argument over
looks one all-important fact. The
Negro has made his progress in
the United States of America. The
Russian has had to contend with
the Russian Government, and the
Russian never was really set free.
He has always had a cruel master,
and l will Vouchsafe that if the
Negroes of Mississippi, and the
other Negroes of the United States,
numbering some thirteen million,
as l understand it, had lived in
Russia during the eighty-five years
of their freedom, they would be
just where the Russians are today.
They would have no land, no house,
not even a pillow or a mule, to quote
the editors words. The same thing
could be said for any other thir-
teen million people from the United
States, had they lived in Russia
So it behooves all of us to be
grateful that we live in a land
where opportunities are so great,
even though they are far, far from
perfect. l will go further and say
that the Negro, as well as the Ger
mans and Scandinavans, and 9TH
er nationalities, would never have
progressed as far as they have had
they lived in any other country.
than the United States of Amer
lea
Some other countries may be
more free from prejudice than we
are, but they have not the oppor-
tunity to get ahead that the
United States of America has Of
fered to its people. OF course there
are race prejudices here. There
are all kinds of prejudices. Human
nature being what it is, it cannot
be otherwise. 1t is up to US who
realize these prejudices exist to try
to do what we can in our small
way to eradicate them.
1 have no objection at all to the
Negro reciting his progress; that
is human nature also, but of course
human failing if carried too far.
l think this editorial was out of
line in comparing the Negro of
Mississippi with the people of
Russia

LABOR VIEWPOINT
By George F. McCray
A LESSON TO LEARN
FROM LABOR

President Philip Murray of the
CLIO has just sent out an appeal to
all CLIO, AFL and independent
railroad unions to be on the alert
for a fight to get rid Of the Taft
Hartley law. Murray also warns
them to get ready for a last ditch
scrap for such things as low cost
housing, enactment of civil rights
legislation and reduction in the
cost of living.
The organized trade union move
ment in this country knows it has
fight on hand. The leaders know
they have a battle despite their
vast resources, their effective po-
htical organization, and the prom
inent contribution labor made to
the success Of the democratic party
in November.
If this is true of organized labor
1t applies to Negroes with far
greater force. The opposition to
what we want particularly, the
fight against every item of the
civil rights program, is far more
determined and far more general
than is the opposition to the things
which labor wants. Labor knows
that Truman, simply by the fact
OF his being president of the U. s.,
cannot repeal the Taft-Hartley
law, nor carry out any of the
promises he made during his cam
paign, unless congress cooperates.
The nations legislature will
also have to cooperate II the
civil rights program Is ever to
be lifted out Of the platforms
Of the democratic and repub.
Hcan parties and spread on
the statute books Of the fed
era government
1t seems that we, the Negro vot-
ers of the country, have far more
confidence in the powers Of Harry
S. Truman than has organized Ia
Dor. Judging from what we are
not doing at the present time, we
seem to feel that the civil rights
program will have smooth sailing
through congress. This sort Of in
action should be very pleasing to
the dixiecrats and their thousands
Of friends in the north as well as
In the south.

Every report 1 get my hands
on flags a warning to the wise
man to reduce his debts and
to build up his cash reserves.
Listen to the United States
News, December "a: Help wanted
signs are being removed from
much of U. s. industry. The num-
Der of jobless workers is rising.
Employment has dropped below
6O,00O,00O, and experts are begin
ming to puzzle over the trends"
Christmas sales are below the
1947 level Buyer resistance is in
creasing. Pianos, radios, furniture,
electrical appliances, mems cloth
ing are standing still. The auto
mobile market is slowly turning
into a buyers market. Today
had three automobile statesmen to
offer me a new Packard, a new
Dodge and a new Plymouth with
out any waiting. CT. housing loans
to veterans have dropped. Most of
the night clubs are losing money,
or marely breaking even. Food
prices have begun to decline.
This does not mean that the
country is going to collapse
but II does fOrebOde a slow
down In production In many
lines and 1t behOOves us as
additionally the last to be
hired and first to be fired not
to be caught unprepared.
In the automobile city of Detroit
employment is high and our peo-
pie are buying real estate loaded
down with first and second mort
cages. A friend of mine close to
the scene says if a prolonged de-
preston comes, most of the new
purchasers will get washed out
when 1t comes time to renew their
second mortgages, because the
creditors will refuse to renew and
will demand payment in full which
the new owners will not have.
Most of the real estate open to
US is overpriced in the first in
stance. We know it but can't do
much about it except refuse to buy
until prices come down. The banks
and real estate men also know the
property is overpriced; so the first
thing they will do when the mar
ket drops will be to call all loans
to us. Then the unfortunate man
without a cash reserve either will
lose his property or else have to
pay such a high bonus to get the
loans renewed that for all practical
purposes he will be back to where
he first started buying the prop
erty.
The advice in this column will
never make you rich, but it will
keep the sheriff and the marshal
away from your door.
Make your first New Years res
olution to save more money in
1919.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1948-12-31

Over IS per cent Of the
Negro voters, who went to
the polls on Nov. 2, voted for
Truman and for civil rights
legislation. Those votes will
be largely wasted If steps are
not taken Immediately to
strengthen our ability to ex-
ert political pressure at these
points where It Is most needed.
Labor, the farmers, and the Ne
gro voters of the country put
Harry S. Truman back in the
White House. Cooperation between
these groups will put civil rights
legislation in the law, but the mi
tiative, the lead in obtaining the
support Of these groups, must
come from Negro voters them
selves.
One wonders if this job is too
big for the NAACP.

THE MOTHER SPEAKS

BY JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
When the bugles blow again
Calling men to fight,
When the wise men speak again,
About what is wrong and what is
right,
l will not turn listening ears
Toward those who led men to
slaughter;
I will blankly refuse to hear
When the cannons call for more
fodder.
For them l have no joyous cheers,
No hands to grip their guns,
I'll give a chorus of forceful jeers
But l will not give my son.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1948-12-31

for him by our State Department,
the hotel said No. A high official
Of the SD had to be walked up to
plead with the hotel on the tele-
phone to get this distinguished
visitor a bed.
An outstanding educator from
Bolivia entered a restaurant to get
something to eat. He was refused
service in terms calculated to
make him an enemy Of this coun-
try for the rest Of his life.
A member of the Senate of
Puerto Rico, arriving in Washing
ton Unexpectedly, was refused a
room anywhere and spent the
night on a couch in the office of
the Puerto Rican Commissioner.
Four Negro students from the
British West Indies seated them
selves at a lunch counter and were
told that, as Negroes, they would
have to eat standing up. When
they proved by passports that they
were foreigners, they were per-
mitted to sit down again.
A Hindu and his wife stopped
for a cup of tea at the soda foun-
tain in a Acknowledgement store.
They could not get service until
they proved to the satisfaction of
the waitress that they had not
been born in the land of the free.
An extremely distinguished
American Negro, who happens to
be a blue-eyed bland, stayed at a
Washington hotels at intervals for
years. Then one day the manager
refused him a room. It turned out
that his picture and a biographi-
cal note had been printed in a
magazine which the manager had
happened to read.
A Negro Catholic from Panama,
entering a Catholic Church in the
District to pray, was approached
by a priest who handed him a slip
Of paper with the address of a
Negro Catholic Church.
Fifty-one New York school chill
dren won prizes in a safety con-
test and were awarded trips to
Washington. Since four of them
were Negroes, no hotel could be
found that would entertain the
party, and the visit of all 81 was
Cancelled.
Everyone remembers the Incl
dent wherein the Daughters of the
American Revolution refused to
let Marian Anderson sing in Con-
stitution Hall. There are some
theatres and meeting places in
Washington where Negroes can
appear on the stage, but not in the
auditorium, while in others the
reverse is true. Washington's only
showhouse for stage plays the
National Theatre, Is now being
converted to a movie house be-
cause the management had refused
to permit Negroes to sit in the
audience on an equality with white
people, and the theatre had been
boycotted by Actors Equity.
Discrimination in regard to food,
lodging and entertainment is bad
enough; but a hundred times worse
is the anti-Negro attitude which
forbids members of that race a
decent job, a decent house, or
equality Of opportunity in educa-
ton. In all these things, Washing
ton stands guilty. and the National
Committee on Segregation can
prove it.
