The Lock Of Unified Action

In the struggle Negro America there have been two
RanE weaknesses First organization Including the NAACP has
ever been rally American Negroes protest against
nuacsn daily hsRped AmScas black minority Second the
Negro organizations contradict each other and this
hands Of tbs saeonay forces which
nve defeating the democratic aspirations Of all Negroes
many why Negro organizations work
against this vital struggle First there groups who
believe that tho militant struggle waged by others dangerous ana
the II the majority Of whites and result In %
group the Of segregation which the
daily experience Of al American Negroes
example Of this lack Of unity shown In the recent protest
NAACP the confirmation Of Jesse NJ Donaldson To the
position Postmaster General Clarence Mchs Labor Secretary Of
the NAACP protest behalf Of the NAACP The protest
detailed sPaehe the discrimination made by the Post Ohe
against employees the tins Nj pohaidson
Assistant POSTMASTER General Two cities that proi-
nsny mentioned Orleans Los Angeles Yet Donaldson
was able 10 produce eongrauaory from Negro orgHa
ton National Alliances Of Postal Employees and Its regional
branch At New Orleans which was mentioned
discrimination against Negro employees praeesd Now Sena
genuinely interested tina elimination Of racial discrimination s
governmental practice might be confused by this contradiction An
other really approving policy Of racial discrimination
s contradiction for voting for the confirmation
of Donaldson
then the question naturally arises why
National Alliance Of Postal Employees and It's New Orleans
branch particular send Of eohgraustoh To Donadson
We're they under pressure sol evidence that this the
public Does tho Naoa Alliance Of Postal Employees
have vested interest IN segregation ms !" course
might be- the result that the effort Of
the NAACP made ineffective.
The question that naturally To mind h did the NAACP
approach National Alliance Of Postal Employees prior the hear
ascertain their position In regard To DonAldaona appointment
the NAACP did approach the Alliance and showed them the evidence
discrimination In their possession they should make public the
result consultation tina NAACP did approach the Alliance
they guilty Of that they should repeat For the
NAACP many experiences knows the value Of unity In all
eRaFts.
Of the lack Ut unified action the attack the
report Presidents Cemmnson Civil Rights made by tho South
Regional Council The Southern Regional Council has several Negro
To they have issued statement dissenting with tho
"a notable he fact that four white Southern
Presidents Commission Higher Education dsssned from
maoys report the question Of racial ssKrsKaon In this
be justly heapsd the offending Negroes How
could Negro possibly take Issue with report that attempts to
give his a better America In which 10 liver
This plea for unity all Issues the part Of the Negro
To ash for IL was 10 u downright foolish For

will continue bs Negro Socialists A. long there
Communist Party there will bs Negro Communists Negroes differ
