position, not previously occupied
where they could dictate to both
parties. And both parties found them
selves in a fix where they could not
refuse their demands and were COM
PEELED to make promises which honest
men knew would not be carried out
and most believed should not be.
Under such conditions the failure of
the civil rights program in Congress
is not surprising. The real reason for
failure was not the filibuster of the
Southern Democrats. A real majority
can always beat filbuster, if it oc-
ours at the beginning instead of near
the end of session and if the ma
jority is sufficiently earnest and not
entirely inept. The real reason was
the utter lack of conviction and heart
among the advocates Of the program.
The conviction and heart was in the
opposition, and Walter White, the
ablest and most important of the
Negro leaders, has made that charge
In modified form some of the Tru-
man program viii go through, but the
civil rights part seems really wrecked.
This is privately admitted by leading
Senators of both parties. If, they ask,
with both parties thoroughly COM
mitted, as they were, and the Presi-
dent determined, as Mr.. Truman was,
it can be beaten this time, when can
it win? 1t is not only that the South
ern Democrats are supplemented by
others who, while favoring, believe
action must be left to the states and
that racial relations will be hurt
rather than helped by any attempt TO
achieve the goal by Federal law-but,
in addition, there is no general public
sentiment for such attempt.
Despite the "hollering and whoop-
ing" about discrimination and equali-
ty, the racial gulf is still the widest
and deepest in the world. Gradually
it can-and should-be bridged. But
it certainly cannot be successfully
bridged through a Federal law that
violates the deeply rooted social as
well as economic customs and beliefs
of a large section of the country,
Particularly is this true when it is so
clear the movement is not inspired by
sincere desire to improve the condition
of the Negro but is promoted by ny
pocritical politicians competing for
Negro votes in elections.
