Introductory Article

"the time isn't ripe" 10 give the sorry
masses their long awaited freedom
The author is of the opinion that grad
ualism won't work as long as southern ira
ditonalists and all other undcmocratic a.
meficans are holding the rein a team of
horses cant go forward any faster than
the driver (holding the rein) wants them to.
Certain white people live in isolated
quarters In our society. and through these
minor changes for the better do show them
selves In these vital quarters, they are UNI
willing to recognize the rights of the minor-
~ groups In America.
The white men have Negro buffers
whom they treat as members of their
families. They live sleep and eat with them.
AT the very same time they have oyeiworlt-
ed and underpaid their employees working in
their businesses AT the same time they
have gone TO legislature and stood against
laws proposed Co recognize The dignity and

During the past few weeks one of the
states political leaders has been the tar
get of considerable tongue lashing. He has
borne the blunt of criticism thru the col
ums of the daily press with direct quotes
from other Negroes who have set them
selves up as leaders as well as face to face
tongue flashing in public places.
This is not intended as any defense in
the behalf of anyone. 1t is merely joining
the criticism which is taking place now. But
our criticism is not intended to Join the
channel of those who are critieising. 1t is
a criticism of the eriticisers. We feel that
there is too much evil done the Negro by
the other race that the Negro could better
his condition by being critical of than uti-
LIKING his energy crticising those within
his race.

ment, agree that this particular political

The Acid Test Of Freedom

Our Puerto Rican neighbors celebrated
July 4, 1852 with joy and thanksgiving. The
u. S. Congress approved their constitution
and turned the island into self-governing
commonwealth.
The people on the Philippine Islands,
too, celebrate July Atlas their own Inde-
pendence Day, and also in appreciation of
our holiday. The United States helped Ii
berate the Philippines, promised them indie
pendence and lived up to that promise. They
are now enjoying their freedom and facing
up to their responsibilities.
Britain, under its Labor government,
has an equally honorable record India, af-
ter centuries of colonial rule is now a free
democracy. Pakstan, Burma, Thailand are
also free members of the family of Nations.
The Dutch yielded freedom to Indonesia, and
France will sooner or later have to do like
wise with the Indo- Chinese States. Where
democracy predomnates, colonialism must
give way to freedom.
Compare this To the development be-
hind the Iron Curtain. Latvia, Lithuania and
Esthonia were once free. They are now ex-
istent in name only Hundreds Of thousands

leader did pull "a boner'' His mistake by
no means is going to retard the progress
of the race But on the other hand So much
public criticism of him is showing the lace
up to the extent where it doesn't take clair
voyant powers to divulge the races weak
ness.
We have listened attentively 10 cfiu-
csm of various Negro leaders ny Negro
leaders. And we have read quotes in the
press, mostly white press, of Negro leaders
lambasting other Negro leaders, but when
we can get no record where these same
leaders have ever publicly criticised the
white man for his persecution of the Negro
and have never come out in defense of the
Negro when he is a target Of persecution
from the white man, We are forced to con-
elude that these critical leaders are clamor-
ing more to be seen, and heard than they
are to safeguard the race.

# their people are in the slave camps Of
Siberia. Poland is under the iron heel with
Russian general as its Minister of Defense.
Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Czechoslo-
vakia are being drained of their resources
and life blood. Eastern Germany is being
readied for blood bath in the North ko-
rean pattern. Austria is forced to remain
an occupied country while its oil, water and
industrial resources are objects of booty for
the Kremlin. Manchuria serves the Soviet

Little Tibet retains its name, and hardly

Use this acid test and compare,
The cold war is the expression of an
old principle-that the world cannot re-
main half slave and half free.
We can insure the ultimate victory of
freedom by keeping our own record clean.
The next Congress must assure civil rights
to all here in the United States. and make
good our pledge of statehood to Hawaii and
Alaska. Let us send men to Congress who
will do it! Our acid test will be on Election

And The Governor Makes Five
BY EARL

The water is beginning to boil in the po-
litical pots of local, state and federal gov
ernments. In Arkansas the gubernatora
race is few degrees hotter than it was last
week. Arkansas has five candidates for the
Governors seat with less than two weeks
left before the first primary. At this writ
ing five gubernatorial candidates have set
up headquarters in the Negro business sec
tion here. We do not know who has gained
the greatest amount of popularity among
Negro voters but we do know there will not
be a bloc vote, The recent change in some
Negro political leaders has sipnifed an
unrest among a certain portion OF Nero
voters which means there viii be a wide
distribution of votes. Each candidates.
