ington 5 statement was just an
other way of saying that
America cannot survive half

The hope of the interracial stu
alton in the south lies in the fact
that more and more southerners
are alive to the seriousness of the
situation, and are willing to do
something about it. AT heart the
south is forging ahead daily,
threatening to forsake tradition
aism for moral heroism. such as
these critical times demand.
There is no advanced program
in any sphere where we do not
find broad-gauged southerneTs
ready to lead the way. 1t may be
said that the bark of the south
is much worse than it's bite &.

The motivation of this article
stems from a recent editorial in
the Raleigh Times; the editorial
was captioned The Rejection of
Southern Draftees". II was
enough to make the south sick at
heart; for it was pointed out in
rather convincing fashion that
the current effort at recruitment
is seriously handicapped by the
high incidence of rejection of
draftees throughout the South.
1t was pointed out that 30
per cent of the draftees Of the
south were being rejected with
1871 being disqualified for men
tai deficiencies, whereas the
national average for the nation
as whole on account of mental
deficiencies was 1853.

reflections were found in South
Carolina where 65 percent are
found unfit for service with 60
per cent failing the mental tests.
Louisiana comes next with SO per
cent of her draftees failing to
measure up. Whereas the Incl
dence of reflections was highest in
South Carolina and Louisiana
there was comparable rate of
rejection throughout the south
where holding the Negro down is
kind of religion that supercedes
the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Herein lies the greater trag-
edy. In holding the Negro in the
ditch the south has had to stay
In the ditch with him. Such con-
ditiOn is the inevitable cOncom-
liant of state Tlghtism which
means for the most part the
right to hold the Negro in the
ditch. II is one of the direct
products of the current Dixie
crat-G.O.P. congressional al
lance which is threatening to
defeat the will of advancing
America.
The alliance is becoming
stumbling block in congress, but
it is also becoming a matter of
great pride to the allied political
parties. II insures traditional
white domination in the south and
II guarantees the defunct Republi-
can party semblanCe of political
power which has almost become
extinct under the impact of moral
forces that are undermining the
obsolete forces of reactionism.
The rejection of southern
draftecs Is u revealing phenOm-
enOn and should drive home
with devastating conviction the
truth that II man cannot be held
In the ditch unless the holder
stays there with him.
II must, however. be borne in
mind that it is not alone in the
matter of rejected draftees that
the neutrality-suspicious. policies
are handicapping the south; but
it is rather in the Curtailed pro-
ductiOn of so large a part of its
citizens that these out-worn poll
cies are proving such a handicap;
to say nothing about the moral
deterioration that results.
If some means could be found
for measuring this moral deterior-
alton, results would be even more
alarming than the rejectrates
among the south's draftees.
