a tortuous logic that would use
the tragic results of inequality to

In the comprehensive intelli-

Johnson observes, Negro recruits
from Ohio, where better schools
are available, scored higher than
white recruits from every state
of the South except Florida, where
there has been an appreciable
northern migration.
He concludes with the obser-
walton that this is not basically a
struggle between whites and Ne
groeS, of the North and the
South, or between the national
and international points of view,
but a struggle between those who
believe in democracy and those
who do not.
Books, in increasing numbers,
are being published these days on
every conceivable phase of Ne
gro life, education, economic
status, place in American society,
the sociological implication of seq
regation, etc. A few of the more
interesting books are the follow
ing. I recommend all of these
titles as we'll worth your reading.
One was published last year by
the Oxford University Press, and
is called: The Strange Career of
Jim Crow, by c. Vann Wood
ward. This is a most interesting
history of the rise and establish
ing of the Jim Crow laws.
New 1856 publications include:
"The Negro in American Gull

based on materials left by Alain
L. Locke; The Peculiar Institu-

published by Knopf, discussing
slavery in the ante-Bellum South
and A Pictorial History of the Ne

Washington Was Genius Of Persuasion

Booker T. Washington Birth
place, Va.-Dr. G. Lake lines, for
mer secretary of Tuskegee Insti-
tute, who served five years under
Booker Washington and 25 years
under his successor, DIR. r. r.
Motion, states that Washington is
honored today and will always be
remembered for easing the ten
sions between the races following
the Civil War and helping to build
a new South to replace the South
that passed away with slavery.

It is not often that the view
point Of the Southern Negro on
school migration and racial
equality gets stated in a journal
of national circulation. In the
New York Times of Sept. %,
the late DR.. Charles S. Johnson,
president of Fisk University, ex-
plains "a Southern Negroes View
of the South" Among other
things, DR.. johnson writes:
Southern Negroes do not Seri-
ously expect much change in their
civil rights status through 'tgrass
roots conversion" despite the
insiStence of white southerners
that the region should he left to
work out the present racial criS-
is in its own way. On the whole,
state governments in the South
are dominated by rural legisla-
tors, whose overall attitude is
"anti-laibor, anti-capital, anti
race, anti-liberal, anti-civil rights,
anti-education, n ti-F d e a
Government" Most significant
improvements in the southern
Negroes status have come, con-
sequently, as result of federal
insiStence and world public opin-
ion, according to the noted soci-
ologiSt.
at is a tragic pity" DR.. John
son continues, "that while the
rest of the world is giving new
attention and respect to basic
human rights, every device from
SUPERVISION of laws to violence IS
benig employed to defeat ire Con-
stitution, and with such frantic
desperation that no voice of stern
national craftsmanship dares de-
fly, without apology and compro-
mise. this organized retreat from
freedom to tyranny and feudal-
ism"
The middle-of-the-road philos-
ophy that seems to dominate much
of the nations thinking in mat
tiers pertaining to race, is due to
a confusion of the moral impera-
tives," according to the Johnson
article. There can be no middle
of-the-road attitude toward mo-
rality and legality, if the fabric
of our society is to remain in
violate"
where there is reputation Of
the Supreme Court, our ultimate
constitutional authority, on one
issue, there is reputation of the
Court and the law on any and al
issues"
