Indignation

Continued From Page One
Government becomes involved
only when there is noncom-
pliance with court orders.
Thus, in 1857 an upsurge
not to counter even the worst
kind Of provocation, and to
show everyone the greatest
courtesy in all circumstances
will be the first year of a
new racial reconstruction. Now
comes the report of a Con-
gressional sub committee
blasting Washington, D. c.,
public school Indignation. The
report was drafted in Mem
phis, Tenn. by committee
counsel, William Gerber. OBJ
jections will be raised by some
members of the committee
that its conclusions are not
well-balanced or objective.
Race haterS must remem-
Der that Americans, North
and South, begin thinking Of
persons instead of people, of
the merits of individuals in
stead of a downtrodden race,
then one OF the glaring pro-
blems in the nations history
will be solved.

each lose a seat. Rapidly
growing California, says Mr..
Harris, will soon have the
largest delegation in Congress
and the most potent voice"
in the making of Presidents
and policies.
MISSISSIPPI has lost q
House member and Will

the migration of Colored Am
orleans, writes Mr.. Harris,
and he soberly continues"
Alabama will be another loser.
The colored vote in the South
and Northern cities has be-
came a crucial factor in
swinging states. This vote In
Memphis has been credited
with Mr.. Eisenhower'S carry
ing Tennessee. So here We
see signs of changes in the
southern picture.
THE SOUTH will be forced
to lose more seats In Congress
or retain what seats 1t now
has purely on Dixie's atti-
tude toward Tan Yanks.
Ralph McGill, distinguished
southern editor, reports that
Republicans won man color
ed votes by assailing the &C
tivities in Mississippi. Mr.. Har-
ris writes that the Tan Yank
vote, twas vital to the same
outcome in louisiana" 1t is
certain Dixie political leaders
will be forced to adopt bet
ter programs.
THE WEST, says Mr., Har-
ris, sis now in a position, an
ever-strengthing one, to chal-
lenge the ancient alliance Of
conservatives of the south
and the Midwest, especially in
the light OF the disintegra-
ton of the once solid south. "
Mr.. Harris does not say it,
but California has long offered
a liberal land for Tan Yanks,
and their growth in California
might well mean colored
Congressman and men of 81
milar high political stature in
the not far distant future.
THE TAN YANK, in 1857,
will therefore, continue to
spearhead the crusade for ci-
vii rights as he has since 1919
when many other peoples
were praising "the absolute
power" of kings and queens
and who today enjoy more
civil rights than colored CT
tizens. Political heads who
tried to ignore civil rights in
1855 will find even strong
er challenge in 1857. And, as
Mr.. Nehru discovered, colored
Americans are still carrying
the freedom torch for the
world. And now, to all our

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Canadian Champ, winner of
three stake races in Canada this
year. fell back to fourth place
after faltering. Before he made
a dismal showing in the Ohio
