CITES NEED OF SOUTHERN
OWNED INDUSTRY

Jackson, Miss. Henry A. Wal
lace, the Progressive Presiden-
tial candidate, strongly denounced
hollow Mockery and called for
the growth of human freedom, in
addressing an unsegregated audi
ence of some SO Whites and Neg
roes, delegates to the progressive
part yconvention held at Southern
Christian Institute, Edwards, Miss.
last Thursday morning.
In a blistering attack on I'M
democratic practices, Wallace o.
pinned that throughout the south,
wherever there are corrupt Of
ficials, wherever Negroes are in
Inundated, wherever the right to
vote is curtailed, wherever work
ers and tenant farmers are OPP
pressed, there look for the long
string dividends that lead to wall
street. e
Yes there are men who want to
perpetuate feudal caste system be
cause they pay off In lower wages
and higher profits. Because en-
forced segregation keeps men
from uniting to fight for higher
villages through their trade I'M
ions, and for a better life through
their franchise.
Mississippi can have as high an
income level and as low an illi-
teracy rate as any state in the
country. When we forget we are
all sons of God and brothers, it
is then we stop making progress
for good.
Commenting On ways of inn
proveing conditions in the south,
Wallace called Mississippi's Gov
ernor Wright's suggestion that
Negroes leave the state a poor
one, and said it was a Miserable
substitution of Parejudice for
reason.
Wallace said he wanted peace

Campaign For Social Justice
Unfair Treatment Of Negro Citizens
Cited

Nitre Dame, Ind, - 100000
Catholic students will fight in
tolerance! Resolutions to work
for greater social justice for
American Negroes were adopted
at the closing session Monday of
the 18th annual national confer

Mission Crusade.
Held at the University of Notre
Dame, the four-day conference
was attended by $500 student
delegates representing Crusade
units in thousands of American
communities. Several hundred Ne
gro delegates had prominent parts
in the conferenc, which also was
the largest missionary meeting
ever held in the United States.
Introduced by Robert Smith
Shea, executice. secretary of Xav-
Ter University, New Orleans, La,
the resolutions on the Negro held
"prejudices and unjust practices
against Negroes are wasted fun
damentally upon ignorance of the
history of this group of Americans
and a lack of regard for the
Christian ideals which demand re-
cognition of the God-given rights
of all human beings.
The Crusade resolution also
went on record as recommending
not only the continued general
study of the history of American
Negroes, but also a special study
of unemployment, housing and
health conditions of Negroes in
each area where the Catholic
Students Mission Crusade has a
unit, with the view Of helping to
remedy unsatisfactory conditions.
Another resolution called upon
Catholic Students "to conform
their personal attitudes with that
of the Holy Father and to exert
heir influence in Catholic schools,
secondary as well as advanced,
that, where legally possible, such
institutions be brought into con-
