Race And Communism

Here in Jackson and in the rest CT the state
in recent weeks there has been an increasing num-
Der of programs of one kind another to empha-
size the Importance of the struggle against COM
munist world domination, with the greatest chal-
lenge of communism being directed at western de-
mocracy and the United States.
In world where democracy has been the domi-
nant political theme for more than three hundred
years, yet under which there exist cooniasm, race
and color bias and division, and all the attendant
evils, it fairly simple for the communists, in
country made up of its widely diverse population to
attach themselves to the Negro question in the
United States, and exploit it to the utmost in their
efforts to win the rest of the coored peoples
who make up some three fifths more of the world
population, and most of whom now have a more
vivid knowledge of freedom and independence than
they had even ten years ago.
In our opinion it ought to be as simple for
those in power, and those having the resources of
power in this state to see that the communists
not interested in solution of the race problem but
are interested only in prolonging the problem as
long as possible for it's full world propaganda eff

Seek Identity Of
Negro Torso
Found In River

Goodman, Miss. Sept. Is -
Holmes County officials, trying

Of a Negro man found near here
Wednesday, spent Thursday in
terviewing Negroes in adjoining
counties who had filed missing

Deputy Sheriff Andrew

long rain postponed a dragging
of the Big Black river where
the body was found weighted
with rocks in a sack.
"The condition of the body
made Identification impossible
we thought if we dragged the
river we might find other, more
identifiable parts of the body"
Mrs. Smith said.

fects as it was simple for the Communists to at
tach themselves and their party to the problem
in the challenge to western democracy and the
United States.
One of the most dangerous aspects of the strug-
gle against communism in Mississippi is for those
in power, and those having the of power,
to take the position that because the Communists
in this country have attached themselves to their
problem, the legitimate grievances and aspirations
of Negroes in this state are solely the results of
communist inspired agitation, and otherwise would
be lying dormant.
We Negroes in this state have little power
with which to help supplement the fight this
state, but there is thing about which those in
power, and those having the power and resources
be sure, and that is that in the matter of race,
and relation in Mississippi and in the rest
of this country, there is negative answer to the
challenge of communism.

SADIE of Negro and white min
listers to Albany, Ga.
Newman quoted DR.. Jackson
in a press conference as saying
he felt only condemnation for
the clergymen who journeyed
from all parts of the u. S. to
Albany where they staged a
prayer demonstration to empha-
size the need for civil rights in
the south.
"They did not have to go down
there to get civil rights" said
Jackson. "They could aim their
ammunition here in Chicago
alone and build d great fire"
He said Negroes should use a
gradual process" in seeking civ
IL rights. "as social and econo-
mic necessity"
AS to the efforts of pastors
headed by DR.. Martin Luther
King Jr., Baptist minister and
a leader of the Albany Move
ment, DR.. Jackson said:
"We must remember that reli-
gion is grace, and that prayer,
song and the gospel were not de-
signed as weapons of protest to
force unfilling masters to give the
oppressed their freedom. Rather,
they were designed to help men
find God"
The controversial Baptist head
declared that the church's stand
on civil rights should be to make
people become more Christ-ike
and that religion should never
be used as a protest weapon tc
win civil rights"
He said 1.-The Negro race Is
unusually equipped to make de
finite contribution TO this coun
try and to the world at large
through experience, Temperament
and natural gifts.
"The Negro is equipped witt
a type of mysticism which gives
him a definite assurance OF Coo
and His help, guidance and de
liverance in great struggles o
life"
