grant any special privileges and
that ait is wholly in keeping with
American tradition that in so

made only on grounds of indivi-

Congressman Miller in his state
ment said "the time has come when
We ought to remove the last re-
naming barriers, on the basis OF
race, in our immigration and ma

that the admission of 1876 japanese

not in anv way whatsoever endan-

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81
Secretary of Army Kenneth G..
Royal has accepted in principle the
JACL's proposal that the recently
renamed Army transport Pvt. Sadao
S. Munemori be placed in the Pa
cific service as a gesture of good
will toward the people of Japan
and Asia. the Washington office Of
the JACL Anti Discrimination
Committee announced today.
In letter to Mike Masaoka, ma
tional legislative director of the
JACL ADO, Secretary Royal des-
cribed the JACL's suggestion as
very appropriate" but expressed
regret that immediate action could
not be undertaken since U. S.
shipping requirements in the Allan
tic prevent the Army from with
drawing any ships from that area
at the present time.
The USAT Munemori, one of
the most modern and efficient
cargo carriers in the Army Trans
portation Corps, has been operat-
ing between New York and Bre-
merhaven ferrying supplies for the
Occupa lion forces in Germany
since it was acquired from the
Maritime Commission more than
Is months ago.
Your suggestion will be kept in
mind, however" said Royal, en-
phasizing that should conditions
permit, full consideration will be
given to the possibility of transfer
ring the vessel to the Pacific SER
vice" The vessel has made two
trips to the Pacific in recent
months, touching ports in Occu-
pied Japan and South Korea, but
it is regularly assigned to Atlantic
duty from the New York Port of
Embarkation.
The JACL's idea, expressed
more than a month ago by Ma
saoka on behalf of the national
organization, has already won the
hearty endorsement of many

LOOKING AT THE SOUTH

highest in all history. even among
our least fortunate. We have the
greatest awareness in history of
our joint problems, the greatest
jointing together of men and wo-
men of all creeds and races to
move closer to real democracy. And
we are still an idealistic nation,
giving our strength and sustenance
to the world, and striving for self
Improvement at home.
Next let's look at the South in
which we live. We are still at the
bottom in literary housing, hospita-
lization and chronological advances.
We have the highest rate of violent
crimes, and of social diseases. We
are still the area Of worst discri-
mination because of race-but not
the only one. We are politically
sterile, and in need of two party
system, the elimination of the poll
tax and an extension of the voting
franchise. Yet we have had the
greatest proportionate deelopment,
the highest rise in income and in
ling standards of any section of
the country. We have accomplished
the greatest reduction in crime in
the country, particularly the Grim
es of lynehing. We possess the
most varied undeveloped resources
in the nation. And today, an awak
ening conscience in the South is
giving the Negro the greatest num-
Der of allies in his quest for first
class citizenship And now let's look
at yourselves as personification of

ancestry is defined as Anglo Saxon.
My distant forebearers were first
saages, then slaves of the Romans
They were tortured, and murdered,
but they survived. They were in
dentured ervants-another name
for slaves. Some of them died be-
cause of religion. Within the last
three hundred years they came to
this country, some Hugentots, some
Puritans, some Catholics, because
of bloody persecution. They suffer
ed here, in war and famine. They
were exploited colonials. They new
er knew full security or lack OF
discrimination. And that is the story
of all Americans and all people
eerywhere. For mankind has not
yet learned to be generous to the
weak, whateer his color We hae
all known Gothsamane.
But here in America, the haven
of the suffering and the prosecuted

But this is also true. You will not

ALCORN SYMBOLIZES A NEW
TRADITION
BY Holding Carter
Taken from the Atlanta Journal
and the Delta Democrat Times,
May %, 1948l

Let us look first at the world
beyond the United States.
Latin America is dictator ridden.
Europe lies postrate, and shrinks
from advancing Communism. AT
RIGA is still largely colonially ex-
plotted and undeveloped wilder
ness. The Orient is haunted by star
walton and decimated by civil wars,
and everywhere, there is fear. 1t is
not very bright picture, is it? And
yet the masses still hope for peace,
and we may yet make that hope
endure, for man has not yet lost
the dream of fellowship and world
amity That is what we must re-
member even as we prepare for
chaos. Now let us look at our own
country. We are fearful of war and
initiation. and mistrustful of our
political leaders. Money is our
great God. There is tragic decline
in the religious spirit, a rise in the
divorce and crime rates, and the
continuing brean-up of the fam
lily system. We are victims of that
and bigotry and discrimination.
Yet, on the other hand, we are in
conparably the best off and the
strongest nation in the world. We
have been unravged by war since
1865 Our standard of living is the
