The opposition t< Walter L. Cohen’s confirmation is no’ because of his ability or character as we are advised, but solely upon his race. It is a question of pigmena tion. Although he is as fair of com plexion as many of the Southern Sen ators, and if the truth were known, may have LESS African blood in his veins than some of his opponents, they are opposing his confirmation solely upon the ground that he is a Negro or American of color. This is not a valid reason for voting against his confirmation. We hope, there fore, although this seems a forlorn hope, that even among some of the senators from the South there may be found men broad-minded enough to become emancipated from theii narrow traditionalism and vote foi his confirmation. While this may be too much to hope for from that side of the house, there should be no ques tion upon the position that republican senators should take. The Monitoi confidently expects to see Senator Norris and Howell of Nebraska vot ing for the confirmation of Walter Cohen when his confirmation comes before the Senate January 23. We hope that the voters of Nebraska will write our senators advising them of their wishes in this matter. IS IT FLIRTATION? A SERIES of interesting articles on various aspects of The Negro is being published in The Dearborn In dependent, Henry Ford’s attractive and ably edited weekly. We are reading them with interest. We ad mit that we are a wee bit skeptical as to the ulterior purpose of these ar ticles. We question their sincerity. The reason for our skepticism is that they seem to aim at prejudicing the Negro against the Jew. When it is recalled that suspicion is not wanting that Henry Ford has had decidedly sympathetic leanings towards the Ku Klux Klan, an organization which personally we loathe and despise, it can be readily understood why we re gard these articles as clever propo ganda. Kluxism which is aimed at “Koons, Keiks and Katholics” is fast uniting these three powerful elements of our citizenship in closer bonds of friendship for self-protection, cocn mercial, physical, <if necessary, and political. Realizing this what could serve the purpose of our common en emy better than to play upon the sentimental Negro race and preju dice it againt the Jewish race? This seems to be the object of such ar ticles as "Attempt to Bolshevize the Negro” and “Jews Exploit Negroes.” Of course,, Jews exploit Negroes, and Gentiles many of whom profess and call themselves Christians do the same thing. But why the solicitude of The Dearborn Lndependent in one case and not in the other? We wish that we could feel that these articles were written for a con structive purpose and with a high motive. But we do not. We look upon them as an adroit part of Klan propaganda, and an attempt at heart less flirtation with our race for the sole purpose of causing jealousy, sus picion and alienation between the two ethnic groups who in many things are common sufferers from a racial pre judice which blights him who mani fests it. Beware this flirtation. "I know a maiden fair t osee; Take care, beware; She can both shy and gentle be; Take care, beware; She is fooling thee.” CONGRATULATIONS 'I’hli MONITOR extends congratula tions to the citizens of Atlanta, upon its school building program. The ballot did it. Voteless the race is powerless. i ' ... —■■■— ■ JIM CROW SIGNS DOWN - Savannah, Ga., Jan. 10.—Following jthe protests of citizens, Jim crow signs, "For White Only,” were re ] from the front entrance to the Railroad station.
