Educator
Proves Sin Of
Dissemination

OMAHA. Hebr.. August IL
A formal. philosophical prof
That racial discrimination Is im-
moral IS presented in leaflel
'vriifen b The Rev John p.
Markoe. S. J. Of CREIGHTON Uni
gersity here and published re-
Gently.
Entitled "A moral appraisal Of
Of an individual set Of racial
discrimination the treatise pre-
sents a typical case of racial
discrimination in a restaurant.
The author states in the preface
that the moral principles used
in solving this particular case are
universal in their discrimination
in other types of cases than the
one cited. He suggests churches,
hotels, schools, employment poll
cies, etc.
"The most glaring breakdown
in the working Of Democracy at
home is found in the unjust and
uncharitable discrimination prac-
tised against the Negro Aren't
can" says Father Markoe in the
preface. Until this defect in the
operation of our democratic
machinery is remedied, it is idle
to speak of selling Democracy a.
broad. We must first practise
ourselves what we preach to
others
The hypothetical case deals
with one John White who oper-
ates a public restaurant TO sup
port his family and refused ser
vice to Jim Black, a Negro. on
the grounds that to serve Black
would harm his business which
eaters TO the white trade only.
The author states that an acl
is immoral il one (or more) OF
the constituent elements of the
act is immoral, namely, i the
end of agent purpose); p the
end of object Cmean9; - the
circumstances.
Although the purpose is good
because John White intends tc
support his family, both the
means and circumstances con
stitutes an immoral act.
The author then proceeds to
prove that the act violates the
Natural Law. Justice and Charity
while the circumstances support
and perpetuate the grossly i'm
moral social pattern known as
Jim Crow or the color line in
America with all its horribly evil
consequences. In closing the
author answers several objec-
tions.
Senator Humphrey stated: "The
proof is most ingenious and ef-
fective statement against dis
elimination. II is reassuring to
know there are so many leaders
like Father Markoe who are NOR
ally committed to do everything
they can TO eliminate intolerance
Of every sort"
Copies Of the proof are avail
able from Denny Holland, 2517
