Northwestern Bell was selected

segregationist. Some weeks ago
this column deplored what looked
like a well-defined movement to
propagandize this nation into dis
crediting the Supreme court and
into indefinitely sanctioning the
theory and practice of segrega-
ton.
When the old segregationist
South said, now now, it meant
never. The Russians appeal to
propaganda is paying off and they
have found it far more effective
and far less expensive than fight
ing it out on the battlefield.
That propaganda is a powerful
weapon if properly welded, needs
no confirmation here. In fact, it
is hard to find ways and means
for a people of little propaganda
potential to measure arms with a
people with infinite propaganda
resources.
Now comes Marion Wright.
former president Of the Southern
Regional council. with the observa-
ton that the segregationist South
is pouring millions into the cause
of propagandizing the nation and
the world to establish the Old
South's position in its efforts to
eternalize segregation and the hor-
rible concomitants thereof. They
are supposedly buying off news
papers and columnists, North, East
and West.
Mention was made in this COL
umn some months ago Of David
about for the cause
of the segregationists in his syn
column and the pro-segre-
gationist attitude Of the u. s.
News and World Report, which
has gone over completely to the
cause OF the segregationist South.
With millions at the disposal Of
the segregationists, we have but
the beginning Of a trend which
may ultimately mean tribulation
for the Negroes OF the South and
nation. The Negro without his
propaganda resources will find the
going hard against the segrega-
ZIONIST South with unlimited re-
sources for propaganda.

viewed by Miss Margaret Mealey

DR.. Manas said her chief con-
Germ was that of the nationality
of married women. Some countries
have laws that if woman marries
an alien she loses her nationality.
She cannot take on her hus-

herself woman without a count

can be changed through U.N. con-
vention. She was interviewed by
Judge Nadine Lane Gallagher of

No Progress without Education
Begun Ahmed advocated more
education for women of the world.
In some countries even where
equal educational opportunities
are supposed to be provided for
both sexes, If a preference must
be made because of a family's
economic status, the male chill
dren are granted the opportunity.
She hopes that the us. Com
mission will adopt a free and COM
pulsory school law on a world wide
scale. Her interviewer was DR..

OF course it is said that Truth
crushed to earth VIII rise again;
the eternal years of God are hers"
etc. This simply means that right
will in the end prevail and truth
win get a hearing. But this leaves
out of account the sufferings and
sorrows in the meantime.
The Emancipation Proclamation
was eventually written and signed,
but not until Negroes had endured
the rgors of a cruel slavery for
800 years. The Israelites came out
of Egypt by a strong and mighty
hand, but not until their backs
were broken with 400 years Of
Egyptian slavery under Pharaohs
who knew not Joseph.
It has come about that we have
numerous able men and women of
the race whose very high privilege
lays upon them the solemn re-
sponsibility to set forth ways and
means by which the Negro race
in America, with limited propa-
ganda potential, can compete for
favorable world opinion with the
segregationists who have at their
disposal unlimited propaganda po-
tentials. This problem demands
the serious thought and study of
15 millions of Negroes.
We have only to turn to Russia
to see how powerful propaganda
can be. We, as a nation, chose to
finance the world; Russia chose to
propagandize the world. Commun-
list China is Russia's exhibit num-
Der one as to comparative results.
We employed money in our bid
for favorable world opinion. Rus
STA employed propaganda and we
here in this country reluctantly
admit that Russia is winning the
cold war.
The segregationist South has
taken a leaf from Soviet Russia's
book and there are reasons to fear
that the results will not be faV-
orable to the cause of Negro hber-
alton. We shudder at the thought
that, in their efforts to disquah-
fly the Supreme Court, the segre-
gationists lost by one vote.

rican woman member since the
Commission was created in 1916.
This Commission was established,
according to Mrs. Hahn, because
of the widespread discrimination
against women. Its purpose is to
bring together women of all ma
tons who might discuss their COM
mon problems and make recon-
mendations to the several govern
ments so that they might pass
legislation to wipe out discrimina-
ton in their own countries.
Women OF The World Discuss
Problems
These facts were revealed at a
conference on The Status Of
Women Around the World" held
Monday jointly by The American
Association for the United Ma
tons in the Capital Area and the
Women's Bureau of the U. s. De-
partment Of Labor. Participating
on the program were Miss jean
tine Hefting, delegate from the
Netherlands; Miss Minerva Ber-
nardino of the Dominican Repub-
lie; DR.. Maria Uldarica Manas of
Cuba: Begun Shireen Aziz Ahmed
of Pakistan; and Mrs. lamar Sho-
ham-Sharon of Israel.
Use Existing Rights Before Ask
ing For More
Speaking on the political rights
of women, Mrs. Hefting pointed
out that before World War I only
four countries gave women the
vote. BY 1850 women were allowed
to vote in IS countries.
There are only IL countries
where women cannot vote or be
elected to public office. And in
the Sudan, women are permitted
to be elected to office but are
not allowed to vote.
The Netherlands has a compul-
sorry voting law which prohibits any
qualified voters from staying away
from the polls without a good rea-
son, said the woman delegate. She
advised women to take advantage
of the rights they already have
before fighting for others. Mrs.
Hefting was interviewed by Mrs.
John F. Latimer. a representative
Of the League Of Women Voters.
Women Should Uncover Their
Faces
Miss Bernardino discussed the
STATUS Of Women in Private
Law" She spoke out against poly
gamy which still exists in many
territories. Education will do much,
she said, to eradicate certain Gus
toms and traditions. The U.N.
Commission is urging all govern
ments to see that women are
treated as human beings. They

Every once in a while you run across a
Negro who says that the NAACP should
ease up. More recently, Chef Huntley made
that suggestion over a nationwide tele-
vision program. Should the NAACP retire?
1t all depends upon what you want. If
we want segregation to continue to be an
established fact in the deep South, and IL
we want no desegregation in the public
schools Of the deep South. and If we want

Humphrey said he would prefer
that the South stay in the party.
But, he added, the party won

and without New York.
He said he doubts II the South
will leave because the Democratic
Party does the South much good
and vice versa.
The Democratic Party, he add
ed, champions the things the
South wants. He doesn't know of
anything the Republicans have
done, "in my lifetime" to benefit
