Thinks "GroduoIism'

Negro Issue

COLUMBIA, 8. C.-What sort OF
fellow is the Dixiecrat nominee for
President, Gov. J. Strom Thurmond
of South Carolina?

years as Governor Of his State, to

Wants Poll Tax Repealed
Certainly. until the current con-
troversy over the Presidents civil
rights program, the South Carolipa
Governor was considered a liberal
| Dy dll 0OuClleIH StdAlOdldS'
He subscribed to the Southern
philosophy of gradualism-that is,
that any reform in the South re-
specting the Negro issue must be
gradual and the change must
come from within, and not by any
Federal or outside dictation.
Like most Southerners, he holds
to the belief that the Negro has
made more progress in the shortest
period of time than any other race
but that his progress in the South
must remain within the pattern OF
segregation.
Although he is opposed to any
Federal antipoll-tax law, for two
years he has advocated that the
South Carolina Legislature repeal
the States $1-a-year poll tax.
Ballot Not Secret
The poll tax in South Carolina,
however, is not considered deter
rent to voting, as it applies only to
the general election, whereas the
Democratic primary, in which Ne
groes have recently won the right
to participate, is the actual election.
South Carolina is the only State
in the Union without secret ballot.
That is, every party must furnish
its own ballot in a general election.
This is one of the factors which
makes a responsible second party
virtually impossible here. 1t takes
courageous soul to ask for a Re
publican ballot.

Knew KremIin's Record

The American and British leaders
knew full we'll with whom they were
dealing. They should have been the
last persons to be moved by emo
tionalism. Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill knew the record of the
Soviet government.
They knew that in 1899 while the
Kremlin was engaged in military
discussions with the British and
French for eventual cooperation to
stop Hitler, they already had de-
cided to sign an agreement to join
the Nazis in their war of conquest.
Incidentally, the Russians managed
to obtain some useful information
for the Fuehrer from their talks
with the Western Allies.
At no time since the Western
powers resumed relations with the
U. S. s. r. after the downfall OF
the Cars has the Kremlin lived
up to its treaty engagements, un-
less they suited the purposes Of the
Politburo. The Soviet government
began to play a game Of double
cross with the United States while
the ink was still wet on Maxim
Litvinov's signature Of the treaty
In Washington in 1888.
The British governments expe-
riences with Moscow from the time
of Ramsay Macdonald until the
days of winston Churchill were
nothing but series of squabbles
because of the Kremlin's double.
crossing tactics.
Yet, in spite Of these well-knowr,
facts, the American and British
leaders decided to trust the Soviet
leaders. We all know now that
1t was decided at Yalta to divide
Germany into zones of occupation
We yielded to the Soviet demand
that they were to 60 some 80 miles
beyond the Elbe.

p-TA HAS THREE GUEST SPEAKERS
 AT REGULAR MEET

The Parent-Teachers Association held their regular meeting last night in the Study Hall of the High School. It was voted that the P-TA would have a Mother Daughter banquet on May in the gym of the High School for the purpose of getting the mothers of the Teen-Agers more familiar with each other and also to learn of the activities of their daughters n their school work.
 A nominative committee was an- acunced for the selections of can didates fer the 1943 officers. The committee is Mrs. Ruth Popejoy, Mrs. Elton Engstrom and A. N. Tide.
 It was announced that the P-TA will present two radio plays each month on the second and fourth Thursdays over KINY and they have asked for more man-power in this project.
 Mrs Popejoy presented the school with set of the Encyclo- padia Britannica which was pur- chased through parents of the students who took sets for their homes The school received their set cn the point system, which was set up by the company for that particular purpose.
 Harry Sperling presented the Farent-Teachers Association with S1C5 to be set aside for the P-TA Scholarship Fund as memorial to his wife who took so much in- terest in that project.
 The musical program presented last night was an interesting part of the evenings entertainment. Those participating were Alfred Ventur, the music instructor of the High School: Robert Stratton, on the clarinet, and Joan William son cn the flute. They were ac- companied by Miss Claire Folta.
 After the musical program, Ava Blackerby of the U. S. For sIy Service gave a short talk on pulp and sawmill forestry and home sites in Alaska, followed by Clay Scudder with the history of
