This
Day and
Age
BY Clyde o. Jackson
New World
A. Coming

Ben Laney says, land his oppo-
nents completely agree with HIM
You don't want the federal gov
eminent to be able to tell you
who you must hire or fire by pass
ing an FEPC law" We would like
10 know if there is any difference
between the federal government
telling you what you must do and
the state government telling you
what you must do, Is there any
difference in the state government
saying that no white firm can hire
a Negro in a clerical or white
collar position and the federal gov
eminent saying that you must hire
according to ability and not ac-
cording to race or religion. You're
being dictated to either way. All
of the talk about socialism and
centralized government is just a
shield used by bigots.
The only way that we can take
the mock" out of democracy is
to get rid of prejudices. We will
never be safe or secure until we
do. The world will never follow
a nation which breaches one poll
cy and practices another. Negro
newspapers have been trying to
warn this country OF this for years,
the warnings have not been needed
The South refuses to exhonerate
the Negro. The federal government
has no alternative except to inter-
vene. Too long the south has been
claiming that it can handle
its own affairs within the state.
It has only claimed this, 1t
has never proved it, Negroes are
growing restless, They are being
better educated. They are tired Oh
being told go to the rear.
