whites Of the Union of South
Africa are presently engaged
in a program of "apartheid"
designed to further dis
courage interbreeding in that
country; and the Pittsburgh
Courier, a Negro newspaper,
reports that in a recent poll
at least So per cent of the
whites throughout this coun-
try prefer separation of the
races. This is quite q lot Of
people to put in Jail.

The President at a recent
press conference applied the
term anarchy" to those in
dividuals and groups defying
the Supreme Court on inte-
grafton. Yet he has failed to
take steps leading to the in
tegration Of the white people
themselves.
Just the opposite is true of
anarchy. 1t is a means being
used to overthrow the rule
of the white man in this
country-slowly but gradu-
ally, his laws.
There are historical quota
tons on anarchy which may
prove that the President is
morally wrong in his applica-
ton Of this term to any vio-
lent opposition to school in
tegration.
In Socialism and the
Ethics Of Jesus" 1912. Henry
C. Vedder said:
-. Anarchy bends all its
energies at present to the
work of destruction; the first
thing is to do away with the
present order; construction
Of another will come after
that.
Some things, however, are
clear. All limits Of race and
nationality are expected to
disappear in this universal
solvent of anarchy. Patriot
ism is a crime. not a vir-
tue. :"
Edith Houghton Hooker
said in 1.-THE Laws of Sex"
1921: AT the present time a
condition of anarchy obtains
in the realm Of sex. :"
Also, the anarchy of our
present social system creating
plutocratS and degenerates is
mentioned in 1.-THE eau
casianal Creed" by H. H.
Swearingen, 1914.
In the above constructive
criticism of the President, I
assure the readers there is
nothing malicious on my part
toward him.
Howard L. Minker.
Editors note: The Presi-
dents exact words on anarchy
at his August 20 press con.
ference were: Every Amer
lean must understand that if
an individual, a community
or a State is going success
fully and continuously to defy
the courts, then there is
anarchy.")

Constantine Brown in his
article, Supreme Court De-
cision Is Not Law" says the
quarrel in the South is not
over segregation but over
States rights VS.. Federal
rights. Being a citizen first
and a Negro second, / do not
agree. The numerous anti
Negro laws which Southern
States maintain are designed
to retard the progress of its
largest minority. We have
never received any equal
rights from any Southern
legislature up to this day, so
how can we expect any in the
near future? The so-called
Southern way of life is de-
signed to keep the masses of
Negroes in abject poverty
and total ignorance for all of
their days. The Four Free
doms proclaimed so loudly
during the last war do not
include Negroes, so the white
Southerner thinks.
Federal rights are used only
when citizens of the country
are denied equal rights and
protection laid down in the
Constitution.
I agree with Mr.. Brown
that Negroes have made rapid
progress in their 80 years of
freedom, but think what a
strong and healthy Nation
we could boast to the world
if Negroes could have had
equal rights in those 30 years.
