The American Way Of Life Includes Civil Rights

The fact of race complexities and magnifies
the suspicion of wrongdoing.
The Negro finds 1t harder 10 defend him.
self because as a general rule he has less mon-
ey with which to make the defense. He finds
1t harder because he encounters certain am
cunt OF prejudice when he is accused. He finds
it harder because he has a heritage of fear a.
bout being found In any kind of degree Of con-
troversy with a white person on the other side
right or wrong. Just what would have hap
pened to Mrs. Moss we wonder. If two power
full Senators had not raised their voices in her
behalf.
This writer is not a Communist. He has
no Communist connection in the present and
none in the past His concern is not for the
Communist party but for the innocent individ-
ua subjected to prosecution, embarrassment,
apparent persecution, humiliation, and tempo
rary or permanent loss of job.
Mr.. Moss seems to have been indicated in
the end. But what battle had to be waged
to obtain the vindication. And for long
time the newspaper accounts of her weeping
in public, the determined assertions of those
against her, her temporary land what SEEM
ed for moment her permanently lay-off from
work, all these will remain for long time
III the CONSCIOUSNESS OF the average NesTo
worker
Yes, we definitely feel that If our good
white friends are fearful that a movement
may result In undue curtailmen of their civil
rights, we of the Negro race should be ap-
preaching hysteria. We want an extension of
civil rights, not curtailment of them. We
are expecting our white friends to have
change Of heart after while and raise their
voices in our behalf; we raise ours in theirs.
We do not think that the Republic of the
United States faces any threat that cannot be
met and overcome without breaking down
the civil rights and liberties guaranteed in the
Constitution.

by SIS. Taylor

Well, what do YOU know? The white Folks
worried about THEIR civil rights. Now ism t
that something? We thought that civil rights
were just for .colored folks to be worried
about.
The threats to their civil rights about
which our good white friends are worried are
summed up in an editorial in the daily press
as ID the proposal to legalize wire-tap evil
denee in national security cases on the autho-
rization of the attorney general alone, CD
the proposal to force testimony from Fifth
Amendment pleaders by granting them inn
munity from prosecution, again on the autho-
rity of the attorney general alone, (3) "the
hodge podgea of bills seeking to outlaw the
Communist party
The threats" are carefully discussed in the
editorial and the reasons for considering them
threats are set forth. Being good neighbors,
we sympathize with our fellow citizens in their
objection to invasions of their civil rights Just
from common sense viewpoint, wire tapping
especially on the authorization of one man.
runs too dangerously close to total supervision
Of the individuals private life-a cornerstone
OF modern relationships embarrassing Fifth
Amendment pleaders, especially ON the autho-
rity Of one man. runs dangerously close to re-
curing the accused to prove himself innocent
instead Of requiring the prosecution to prove
him guilty; outlaWing the Communist party
seems to run too dangerously close to a cur
tailment of freedom of thought and speech
But we sympathize with our white neigh
bors for more reasons than just because they
are our neighbors. A mere invasion of civil
rights among white people is transformed into
an atomic explosion when it reaches Negroes.
(Beg pardon, we probably should have said

rights and Liberties guaranteed by the consti-
tuition OF the United States are destroyed or
weakened, the Negro inevitably becomes the
chief sufferer. He becomes the chief sufferer
