Upon the question as to whether
she and her husband preferred
their son TO be educated In Rus
STA. Mrs. Robson said they al
ways wanted the best education
they could afford for their son.
some Of which he obtained In
England. some in the Soviet Union
but the majority was received In
America.
They spent II years in England,
she recalled and ony two years
in the Soviet Union.
When asked whether she
thought the North or South Kor-
cans were aggressors IN the pres
ent conflict. she calmly replied,
Il wouldn't know. I wasn't there.
I don't know who. when or
where" She has delivered
pspeeches on the Korean war. she
admitted. but never on how IL got
started.
After stating that she had spent
the entire So years Of her life
fighting second class citizenship
in this country. Senator syming-
ton I'd. MOI asked IL she did not
feel that there were many white
people who had also fought for
the nights Of Negro people.
She said she knew there had
been white people fighting for the
rights o. her people. but she only
hoped that their efforts would be
. little more effective and the re-
suits q httle faster.

They are trying to create a eli
mate Of public opinion where If
you are asked the question, do
you favor a law" you will be as
much on the spot as some people

chists.
But I'm going to be on the spot
on this law thing in a changing
climate of political and public
opinion. I believe you need laws
for all kinds of crimes. I don't
believe laws completely eliminate
any crimes. We keep laws on the
books against burglary, murder,
arson, fraud. treason and other
things. But we still have ominous
percentage OF burglars, murderers,
arsonists, frauds, traitors, etc.

was taught patriotism. I was
educated to love my country, and
do, despite the claim Of some
whites that II Is solely theirs. But
education, persuasion and citizen
ship responsibility have not elm
mated traitors. Every now and
then a new law is enacted TO deal
with this latter group,
I'm for laws against all crimes.
I'm for laws against discrimina-
ton and I'll be for laws despite
the growing cloud Of disapproba-
ton I see upon the horizon.

Then we saw the bottles! Mrs

Some bottles have flowers

Present Day Negro Leaders
Must Risk "Red" Charge
In Fight For Rights
Prosfis S0yG
By p. L. PRATTIs in the Pittsburgh COURIER

The fight for the rights of Negroes in this country no
longer unadueraed has become mixed with other issues
which make much difficult for Negro leadership
ect the Negro rights fight single interrupted issue If Ne
leaders make demands in the Of Negro rights they

must SUBMIT 10 an eAdmltldtloH
belonged TO the wrong organiza-
ton twenty years ago) and they
must be sure their demands do not
run counter TO other concerns Of
the American public.
II seems strange indeed TO con-
template that all the leaders who
fought for the rights OF Negroes
In the early part Of this century:
Monroe Trotter. Bishop Walters,
Bishop Derrick. Bishop Tanner
and 80 many others, would, II they
were living to-day, have TO be
tested as to their patriotism, their
communism or their anti-commun-
ism, their subversion or their nom
subversion.
No such issue as communism
existed when these men lived. and
subversion did not even have the
political meaning II does today.
THE FIRST challenge IL you
are to fight for the rights Of your
people Is 10 prove that
you are not a Communist, a cryp-
to-Communist, a subversive or
sympathizer. You must prove all
these things to the outstanding pa
triots 90 OF today before you can
even begin to fight for your peo-
pie.
However. there appears to be
room for even more concern on
another front. In respect to GER
tain crimes committed by large
numbers of Americans against
large numbers OF other Ameri-
cans. we are cautioned that the
way to eliminate these crimes is
through education. persuasion, de-
velopment Of a sense OF citizenship
responsibility.
II would be all right u we were
told that the foregoing were a
mong the means TO be used in
combating crimes of discrimina-
ton which are based on religious,
racial and color prejudice. But
that Is not the fact.
THE ADVOCATES OF the meth
DDS named above are becoming the
vocal. aggressive antagonists Of
the use of the law as a means OF
eliminating the evil Of discrimina-
ton, The law only causes more
trouble, they say.
The position taken by these adj
vocates of education and persua-
sion Is dangerous and creates
problem for Negro leadership and
Negroes themselves, because this
position Is discerned as becoming
part Of a political philosophy high
~ subscribed TO.
More plainly. there are men and
women in powerful positions Of
political leadership at the present
present time who think they have
seen the cue and believe 1t to be
their responsibility to sell the Am
erican people on the thesis that
the use OF law in the area Of race
relations Is nefarious.
They believe laws aimed at dis
elimination hit at the ''inalienable
right" Of Americans to be pre-
JUDGED II they wish.
They also contend that you
must prepare the public for the
law before you seek its enactment.
They point to the failure OF pro-
hibition TO prove this one.

protagonists of education, as a.
