LACKS INSIGHT OUT Mr. Howard a by blaming the white has been even more obtuse in his attack on the anti poll tax bin. He should know that no person who has been ac tively engaged in the fight to abolish the poll tax, has felt that this (alone will enfranchise four million Negroes In the South. This writer haa repeatedly stated so. So has Mr, Schuyler.

Anybody with a grain of sense knows, as Senator Bilbo predicts, that other devices will effectively be employed to keep the franchise from the Nesrro. But that Is no reason for a man like Mr. Howard to lend his influence to the friends of the poll tax. Those friends are, for the most part, enemies of his race and of the kind of Americanism he stands for. The Bilbos, the Connellys, et al, would not oppose the anti poll tax biU if they thought it as use less as Mr.

Howard does, iney have Insight which Mr. Howard lacks. They know that the abolition of the poll tax will have a tendency of weaken the entire bifacial avstem to which they cllna. They know that victory of the ana poll taxers means more iixms aiong the same line, that if the poll tax is abolished, there'll have to be more battles to protect their one party system. jtna even inouffn mat the abolition of the poll tax will not enfranchise four million Nerroes, what are we to say about the six million whites? Is Mr.

Howard prepared to say that none of these will win the vote through abolition of the tax? Is not the fight worthwhile on behalf of these?

1 Certainly Gerald K. Smith, high offi cial in the Ku Klux Klan; Thomas Ray of bollermaker fame, should be amone the too ranking mem bers. I don't know how the elevation of these individuals could be celebrated without rettine into difficulty with the FBI. Certainly tne persons wno snouia crown them for their glowing achievements as racial purists would not find it convenient to attend a meeting in Madison Square Garden dur ing the prosecution of the war. A IX in all, however, the idea may have a useful function AS the cleavage in our society between those who believe In democracy and those whose Nazi leanings be come more evident, and as all lib eral movements, are more ana more identinea wun tne struggle of the Negro for greater partici pation, one's stand on the Negro problem or one's honorary membership in the Negro race will in dicate whether one is reaiiy a iid eral.

In a peculiar sense the Ne groni problem tends to be one of the few liberal Issues which is left for people to declare themselves on. By making honorary negroes and honorary Aryans, the rest of the population can see just where Important leaders stand on this alj imporvaoi question.

Howard pass up a chance to help the poor wmtea in tne soutn just oecause the Negro is not going to get much out of the victory? If he would, he is selfish. DEBT TO Q.O.P.? Mr. Howard says that if the anti poll tax bill were passed, the Negro would not get the vote and he would be indebted to the Republi can party ror a generation. He asserts that the debt would be there, although the party had done nothing substantial for the Negro. Mr.

Howard is a strange man to talk about debts in that way. One wonders what old debts he has been paying off in his unbroken al legiance to the party. Most Negroes, ten years ago, decided that their debt to the Republican party nad been paid. They were quite business like about it. They closed tne books, all except a lew like Mr.

Howard. Is there any reason to believe that they would be less business like and objective in the future? It is not the Negro voter wno wilt be caurnt out on tbe limb, but rather such Negro leader snip as mat exempunea oy ur, Howard. To them party alle giance seems to be above party principles or practices. The anti poll tax bill, despite Mr, Howard, can be passed In this session of Congress if its friends stick to it A bare. Democratic majority is needed to keep the measure before the Senate.

All the friends of the bill need to do is to stand by their pledge. If they do that, cloture won't be needed, and the rule of the majority will win out against tne nilbusterers.

A few oir.ttorere days ago I Turner, treasurer of the March on Washington, called on me and asked me to recommend to him a list of good books to be distributed among the members of the organization. I gave him about a dozen titles, such as Rol Ottleya New World A Com ing, Ashley Montagu's "Man's Most Dangerous Myth: The Fallacy of Race," and Rackhum Holt's "George Washington Carver." He bought a supply of these books. stocked his New York office with some and sent others to the branches in twenty states. When our Negro leaders Degin to con entrate more cn education; more on shaking their followers out of the old rut and retting out of their brains the things that aren't so, we'll really be going places. MOWM PROGRAM GETS STARTED The March on Washington has also published and blans to pub lish works of its own.

Of this 100,000 copies have heen printed and sells at cost five cents. Another published pamphlet is "Non Violent, Good Will, Direct Action," which sells for ten cents. MR. TURNER told me of other plans for bringing up to date effective information to the mem bers.

He says that Randolph and his associates in the March on Washington are working to lish a permanent FEPC to func tion after the war. This will have one Negro executive secretary and one white.

A RE'S We All Talk fbassssssmmmmmBy Marcus H. Boiilware THE ORATOR FREDERICK DOUGLASS have chosen to conclude this series of articles on Nerro orators of by gone days with a discussion of the speaking ability of Frederick Douglass, the great Negro anti slavery lecturer and orator. On pur pose I am omitting details of his life, that I might devote more space to his style of speaking. Frederick Douglass waa born slave and had the good fortune to escape into the North. There he became identified with the anti slavery and abolitionist movement.

There were many white anti slavery orators, but Douglass spoke with more force because he talked from experience. He had been slave. He knew and felt from firsthand experience what he was talk ing about. Douglass' effectiveness as speaker led Harriet Beecher Stowe to say: "Few orators among us surpass him." Upon hearing Douglass speak. Thomas Wentworth Higginson said that he had "hardly neard bis equal, in grasp upon an audience, in dramatic presentation, in striking at the pith of an ethical question, and in single illustrations and images." Contemporary au thorities have ranked Douglass with the great Wendell Phillips whose speaking "was as a cannon ball in full flight." In England Douglass Vas Instru mental in stirring up sentiment arainst slavery.

In America he suffered the experiences of other anti slavery proponents. He was affronted, insulted, threatened. necxiea, ana waa nit in. tne race even witn rotten earn. As the Apostle Paul, he was once badly beaten and left for dead.

In snlte oi it aii, nis xamoua oratorical career ranked him amonsr tha greatest 19th century American orators. In 1841. shortlv after his aaearii from slavery, Douglass addressed an anti slavery gathering at Nantucket With little hook leamlnv and very little experience as a speaker, his speech was electrify and it led Parker Pillsbury to say: "When the young man late in the eveninr though none seemed to know nor to care for the hour, Mr. Garrison rose to make the concluding address. I think he never before nor afterwards felt more profoundly the sacredness of his mission I surely never saw him more more divinely inspired.

His last question was tnis: 'Shan such a man eVer be sent back to slavery from the soil of old this time. uttereU with all the power of voice of which Garrison was capable Almost the whole assembly sprang with one accord to its feet, and the walls and roof of the Athenaeum seemed to shudder with the 'No! No." loud and long continued. Garrison had this to say: "Doug giaas is one in pnysicai proportions and stature, commanding; and exact in intellect richly endowed in natural eloquence a prodigy." Douglass told of events in slavery with unbelievable vividness, be cause he had experienced them. His style was moving. Frequent use was xnaae or sarcasm ana irony.

Many times he burlesqued his opponent with realistia mimicrv. While the sonority of his oratorical voice Is not practiced today, Doug lass a rove nome bis messares as absolute truths. In fact he did it as well as any white orator of his times, ana better than any Negro orator of his times, because he had personally experienced the evils of slavery.

racial conflicts in the very near future. Such an unfortunate development will do nobody any good except the enemies of the United States. Over a year ago I dwelt on this topic and made some suggestions as to methods of combatting the trend. No organisations then or novr have been disposed to come to grips with the problem In any fundamental way. There has been much protest against continued segregation and discrimination, based on color or so called race, and the continuation of racial tension lias been vie wed with alarm and deplored in stentorian tones; but very few people have had anything intelligent to offer by way of remedy.

Because I think that everyone who has any contribution to make toward the solution of this serious problem should make 'it now, I have been trying, during the past year, to perfect a loose organisation concerned with getting at the roots of the problenv changing minds, primarily or wnite people, and secondly, of colored people oe cause Dotn need reconditioning. This group of associates now consists of some of the leading colored and white people of the country, numbering more. than 300, and during the past year it has contributed, some 60,000 pieces of literature designed to further the idea of tolerance. These have been simple appeals to both white, and colored people, and more are on the way. We started out on the sound premise that thought always precedes and therefore action Is determined by the character jpf the thought.

Consequently the first objective should be, and has been, the' changing of concepts on both sides' of the color line. Most white people are not hostile to Negroes they just dd not know anything about them, and most of the propaganda efforts of Neero and inter racial groups seeking to better Interracial relations has not reached the MASSES of whites and blacks. In general a very poor job has been done by these group because their efforts have touched only a small segment of the population, and usually those who are already, convinced of the need for justice and airplay. It Is not lack of money, but bankruptcy of ideas that has prevented a better job from being done. It serves little purpose to continually Cry about the ills Negroes suffer unless we do something that will change the VIEWPOINT that causes those ilia.

I I The attack must be two pronged against white ignorance ahd prejudice and against Negro prejudice and ignorance; and it must be directed toward' the masses of people in' both groups. Until vicioue viewpoints are undermined or DESTROYED, it is actually dangerous to unduly agitate for direct action. If we visited an insane asylum and met an Inmate who believed himself to be Napoleon, it would be useless to argue that he was not Indeed. It would be dangerous. Now, race prejudice Is "a form of insanity.

To be cured, it requires a careful process of reconditioning, akin to Pa vloVs1 experiments in tbe behavior of dors and Watson's experiments with newlv born; babies. The U. Government has showed that It win QT do thleVThe yarjous funds and foundations are interested, only in having scholars collect' and 'write up data 'obvious to everyone. What ic needed is a group dedicated to fundamental ACTION. And I think we are ttaklnV a good start.

In 1944 we Intend to proceed on wider scale than our first halting efforts, handicapped by lack of funds as they were. It is the one effort that will have to be made or else the problem will have to be written off as insoluble. Southern Say So Perry Howard Should Now Find Way for Enfranchising Southern Negroes By M. STUART VJlflTH the exception of Tennessee, where white people are so Vw anxious for Negroes to vote some few of them have been known to "lend" good colored friends a dollar or two now and then to pay poll tax.

Mr. How ard has started somethln which he is under racial obli gations to carry through to its utmost 1 1 mits. He cannot gracefully leave the question on the half way fence where he has hung it.

The poll tax is not the big in enfranchls trouble in most of the South. air. Stuart Removinr it would not help mucn. What keens NeOToes from voting in thia section are raw, crude violations of the plain intent of the law. so flan ant that their tolera tion ought to be a source of shame to all hign class lawyers, regara less of political affiliations.

COR example, in one state, reg titrations ana quaiincauons are In the hands of the county circuit clerks, who, of course, being elective are direct beneficiaries of the obstructive intimidations imposed to bar Negroes from registering, In that state, besides the poll Ulx. tha onlv other reaulrements are one year's residence and the ablli tv read, or reasonably Interpret. any section of the Constitution selected as a test. If any grammar school rraduate cannot pass that test when fairly administered, then that makes of the educational sys tem of that state a hollow mock erv and an inexcusable waste of the tax payers' money ln so far Negroes are concerned. NO PRETENSION OF FAIRNESS But years ago.

before Negroes had despaired of claiming their constitutional rirnt to vote, moat of the county clerks, or their un derlings, usually not themselves very literate, would refuse to quali fy au. or aii out a token number. of the colored men who triad to qualify, no matter whether they ware jrraouates or not.
