The once low economic status
Of the South was productive of

have arisen for other reasons.
Here economically depressed
whites and economically de-
pressed Negroes often had to
fight over already gnawed bones.
Then there ensued that most
pathetic Of struggles: the strug-
gle Of the poor against the poor.
It Is q struggle that can easily
become embittered. for hunger
has no heart. But, happily, as
the economic status of the South
has risen. as the farms flourish
and in the towns there are jobs
for all at good wages, racial
tensions have diminished.
In the broad field Of minority
rights the Democratic Party has
stated its position in its plat
form; a position to which I
adhere. I should justly earn
your contempt If I talked one
way in the South and another
way elsewhere. Certainly no

guiling serpent words. To para
phrase the words Of Senator
John Sharp Williams Of Missis-
sippi, better to be a dog and

I should like to say a word
about the broader aspects Of
minority rights.
First, I utterly reject the ar
gument that we ought to grant
all men their rights just be-
cause If we do not we shall
give Soviet Russia a propaganda
weapon. This concept is itself
tainted with Communist will
ness. It insultingly implies that
were it not for the Communists
we would not do what is right.
The answer to this argument
is that we would not do right
for rights sake alone. I, for
one, do not propose to adjust
my ethics to the values Of a
bloodstained despotism, scornful
Of all that we hold dear.
Second, I reject as equally
contemplate the reckless asser-
tions that the South is a prison
in which half the people are
prisoners and the other half are
wardens. I view with scorn those
who hurl charges that the South
or any group Of Americans
is welded to wrong and incap-
able Of right. For this itself is
an expression Of prejudice COM
