CANADIAN PAPER SCOTS AT RIGHTS
PLANK; CALLS RI VICTORY FOR NAAcP

The Winnipeg (Canads) FREE
PRESS political writer M. F."
scoffed nightly at the Democratic
party's civil rights plank in the
July Is edition with an arti-
Gle datelined Los Angeles.
Wrote m. F.:
Los Angeles: Nothing at the
Democratic national convention
has been more artificial or more
contrived than the debate on civil
rights. Neither side meant what II
said. Northern Democrats cannot
really believe that the brave words
in the platform will end racial dis
elimination. Nor can the Southern
Democrats really believe that their
way of life IL going to be destroy
ed by Washington.
Northern and Southern Demo-
Gratis were merely talking to their
own constituents and talking for
the record. Many national conven-
tons will come and go before the
Negro minority has entered into
the complete protection Of equal
citizenship.
The result OF the debate was
a trivial exercise in political evas-
ion. There was not even a recorded
vote to show how the various dele
cations feel on this great issue.

The whole matter was settled quite
casually on a shouted voice vote.
Since the protesting 10 Southern
states could not possibly raise as
big a shout as the 80 Northern
states, they went down to newt
able defeat. Texas was not asked
to sign the Southern manifesto be-
cause no one wanted to embarrass
Senator Lyndon johnson in his
search for the presidential nomina-
ton.
When the debate had ended, the
Southern delegates made no effort
to leave the convention protest
against Northern domination. They
were satisfied to warn the conven-
ton that the civil rights platform
will make It much harder to carry
the solid South for the Democratic
Party.
The acknowledged victor Is the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement OF Colored People. Two
years ago 1t announced that its
major goal is to have every South
ern school district begin to comply
with the Supreme Courts decision
against school segregation by 1883,
the hundredth anniversary Of Lin
coins emancipation proclamation.
This pledge In now part Of the
Democratic platform.-M.F.
