The FiIibuster Dispute

the lack of justice and opport-
unity of millions Of our citizens
to all the world. 1t is perfect am
munition for the totalitarian
enemies Of democracy every
where.
There is talk Of the factions
bargaining" Must we always be
bargaining with the basic deem
cies of human life, appeasing the
racists and fascists in this coun-
try just as Hitler was appeased at
Munich? If we do we can ex-
pect a similar sorry outcome.
We should urge our Senators to
elimination and higotry to outlast
and out-maneuver the forces of
decency and progress. Equal
rights for all our citizens must
come, or the demonstration Of
our hypocrisy at home may well
lose the struggle for democracy
around the world. The eyes of all
the down-trodden peoples of the
world are upon this nation, and
what they see here will help them
to decide whether they prefer
democracy to communism.
This struggle for basic civil Ii
berries is more important than
any other issue before our Con-
gress. This issue was a major
stake in the last presidential cleo
ton. The people have given a
mandate to their Congress which
it is now rejecting. We can no
longer hide our long delinquency
in this matter, nor delay the
putting Of this matter right. If
the liberal forces of the Senate
cannot win in this, the Senate as
it now operates stands discred-
tied as an effective agency for re-
preventative government. 1t no
longer speaks for the majority
will of the people, but for what
ever faction of morons and
thieves that can talk the longest.
TO ignore the fact that some Of
our politicians are both is to be
stupid and sentimental.
We the people. should flood our
Senate with our angry letters and
force this matter to a conclusion.
For if we cannot win these peace
time battles for our freedom, the
many wars we have fought for
liberty, and the lives there sacri-
feed, become a bitter mockery.

FROM THE SERMON OF KEN
METH L. PATTON, CHARLES
STREET UNIvERSALIST MEET
ING HOUSE, SUNDAY,
MARCH Is.

The battle for democratic free
dom and for civil rights is being
fought and lost on the floor Of
the United States Senate, as sure
ly as in Hungary and Bulgaria.
Americans should stand in shame
at the betrayal by the so-called
upper house of our Congress Of
the protested ideals of our nation.
From this day we should call the
Senate the lower house. The
corrupt single-party, rot.en-bor-
ough South has again united with
the bargaining, hypocritical poll
ticians of the North to block leg
islation that would put into eff
feet the freedoms and capabilities
that our Constitution already de-
clares in force. We are not to
have laws to prevent the murder
of American citizens by mobs,
laws to give every man a right to
vote, laws to give men an equal
right to jobs, because our politi-
clans have made the government
of our Republic a dirty game.
Again the needy are being sold
for pair of shoes.
We can be proud that only one
Senator from New England has
participated in this infamy. Both
major parties were pledged to
Legislation on civil rights, but
again campaign promises were
less than scraps of paper when
it came time to vote. 1TTl,se people
Of this country should rise up and
demand an accounting. If we con-
tinue to allow the venal politi-
clans of the South, put in Office
and kept in office by minorities
of the legal voters. to block the
moral viii Of the majority Of the
American people, we might as
well give up our governmental
system as a failure. If we
cannot progressively correct the
weaknesses of our political sy-
stem, it will continue in its rapid
decay. For the corruption this
day seen in our Senate spreads
its evil effects to every city in the
land. Not only that, it advertises
