THE COMMON
DEFENSE
SPOT THE HATE-PEDDLERS
The American people have a
duty of the first magnitude to per
form. It is to spot and reject those
hate peddlers who discredit the
Gh.ristian religion and threaten
to undermine our unitv bv bestir
ring prejudice and suspicion
that's the time to buy
some more!
” iong Ameri ans of different re
ligions. At the moment, this ha
to be said in face of the fact that
wandering around the country tre
some rabble rousers and hate
preachers many of whom are ped
dling their wares to the gullible
in the name of Christianity. They
| call themselves Christians and
, some of them even identify them
! selves as Christian ministers.
One of them the Rev. Harvey
H. Springer of Englewood, Colo.,
called the ‘cowboy evangelist’. . is
j known to be an anti-Semite and
•lew baiter, .as numerous proofs
from his speeches and writings
will readily show.
As against the hate preachers
some of us will recall and all of
us ought to make our own.. the
words of the Episcopal Bishop of
New York, the Rt. Rev. William1
T. Manning, who called anti-Se
mitism a shocking thing and said
that he was glad to speak his
word against the manifestation of
anti-Semitism anywhere and esp
ecially against and dispositionn to
incite, encourage, or countenance
any such spirit in this country..
and the words of Father Maurice
S. Sheehy, of the Catholic Univ
ersity of America, who stated that
as a Catholic I salute the Jew’ as
my spiritual ancestor, who pre
served belief in one God, in hard,
cruel times, who worshipped and
till wrorships the true God..
It doesn’t reauire any great
knowledge of Christianity, as a
•eligion of charity and justice, to
:now that these Christian lead
ers speak the true language of the
Christian religion. It is not ex
pecting too much to believe that
real Americans will listen to them
and men like them when they
want to know what the Christian
religion teaches.
Not only Christians, but all of
us can do something to defeat
the purposes of the hate-mongers.
We can, and should, refuse to
spread lie3 and rumors about peo
ple of different races and relig
ions—knowing too, that if they
succeed we shall be a divided and
weak nation—that, if they fail,
we shall be a united and strong
| nation.

BILBO'S DEFIANCE OF
LAW AND ORDER CALLS
FOR SOME SERIOUS
THINKING
We sit and wonder what is in
store for us as Americans, and
we try to guage the future from
the temper of the men who made
the nation’s laws. Occasionally
we have reason to applaud, but
more frequently, we are disturbed
by the un-democratic character
of the men we send to Washing- j
ton. Most of us like to believe
that when we have damned and i
castigated Bilbo, we have success- j
fully smeared the worst man in i
the Senate, and we try to think of |
new epithets to be used the next
time he opens his bigoted mouth.
Seldom if ever do we realize
that Bilbo is no better and no
worse than the average of his
colleagues. He indisputably exerts
effective leadership on vital ques
tions, and his support is usually
on the side of the majority. When
ever it becomes necessary for us
to deal with him, we dig deeply
into the barrel of hate and shoot
the works. It has gotten to the
pont where you don’t know what
side shows the greater amount of
intolerance, Bilbo, of the men that
hate and revile him.
Perhaps we might have gone on
spewing forth new descriptions of
anger every time Bilbo opened a
new hate offensive, if 'the man’
himself hadn't shown us the error
of our ways. Bilbo is not our con
cern any longer. He has come out
in open defiance against law and
order of the United States, and
he has issued an incitement to
riot. The government, if it does
anything at all, will not rest with
merely calling him names. The
Department of Justice, stung to
the quick by the open defiance of
the Mississippi demagogue, is
keeping close tab on every move
he makes in his bid for re-election.
A Senate committee which sits
on the matter of fitness is alerted
ready to go into action when and
if the Mississippi mud slinger is
sent back for another six years of
law making by abuse. At this
time it is expected that some sort
of protection will be thrown ’round
the Mississippi polls to guarantee
protection to as many of the eligi
ble Negro voters who have the
courage to go out and vote again
st the most hated man of the
century.
What Bilbo is worried about is

the possible necessity of having to
go into a run off race against one
of the several opponents in the
primary battle. Always a self
seeking opportunist, Bilbo has not
softened in character even during
the period when he must give an
account of his stewardship. He
rode to prominence on the race
question and Up to this point the
name callers and the hate sling
ers have helped him keep the is
sue alive and profitable.
The Saturday Evening Post and
Life Magazine did a bang up job
in reporting to the world the tem
permental and intellectual defici
ency of this man from Mississippi.
These two leading magazines did
not carry stories for the haters
and the revilers. Their editorial
staffs, figured that the spot to aim
the barbs is the one closest to the
heart. They prepared material
that was read by many who would
ordinarily have voted for Miss
issippi’s problem Senator. The re
sult was a loss of many precious
votes for Bilbo.
Effective opposition to Bilbo
and his many cohorts in the Sen
ate and in Congress can be buik
on a scientific rather than an em
otional approach. In Mississippi,
Negroes voted for the first time
on July 2nd. Their votes counted
heavily gainst Bilbo, and whatever
the final outcome, they have a
potential strength that will be
respected as they develop it. From
this day forward, Negroes should
vote in increasing numbers in all
Mississippi elections. Should they
achieve no other objective, they
will take the race question out of
politics. It is patent that no can
didate for public office, whatever
his platform, will openly indulge
in race-baiting if there is an act
ive bloc of sensible voters to pro
tect that race’s interests at the
polls.
PROBLEM OR SITUATION
By 3
Ruth Taylor
The other day I was talking to
a friends about a serious play of
‘social significance’. We had not
enjoyed the performance and were
crying to figure out what was so
wrong with U3 caat we did not
like such a potent drama, finally
we arrived at .; con^.u. ion. Y/hat
,iad offended u.; w.a . that the play
ight had made a erode.n out
a situation
The more I thought about this
the more c; early I could see in it
a fatal failing of many of us. We
make problem's out of situations
and in dramatizing them, lose our
own perspective.
What is the difference? A sit
uation has its funny side, a pro
blem never. A situation can be
walked away from or out of, a
problem cannot be left behind. A
situation is a combination of cir
cumstances, or a condition as mo
dified or determined by surround
ings. A problem s a perplexing
question, demanding settlement.
I know one person who confu
ses the two with the result that
her life is always full of turmoil
and upsets. The world is either
all wrong-or comng to an end.
Trifles are mountains. If events
do not follow the course she has
mapped out, then the day is ru
ined! She never has time to enjoy
the little pleasures of life, because
she is always seeing a problem
in a situation and is so occupied
by the problem, she overlooks how
easily the situation can be chan
ged by changing the surroundings.
So it is with much of the trou
bles that beset us as individuals,
as a nation, as a world. We are
determined to make problems of
simple human equations. We
damn groups, never realizing that
we don't live with groups, but just
with a comparatively few people
and that we are free to change
our surroundings if we don’t like
them.
We treat the entire world like
a gigantic jig-saw puzzle and try
to crowd in the parts where we
want them to go, irrespective of
size or colot. Life for most of us
is not a problem. It is a situation
which by dint of a sense or hu
mor, carefuly application to our
own work, and a friendly spirit
we can make go dur way just as
often as the other.
Change the situation and forget
the problem!
THE ROAD TO HEALTH \
Summer Complaint j
By O. J. Moore, M. D.
Surgeon and Chief of Camp
Normal Industrial Hospital
Longview, Texas
One of my very young patients,
through her mother, called me to
her bedside recently. The young;
lady, only 18 months of age, was j
obviously in pain. She was fever- I
ish and her mother told me she
had been vomiting. The mother,
who was very much upset herself
also said the baby’s bowels had
been moving frequently.
It did not take long for me to
determine the child had ‘summer
complaint’ or as doctors call it,
infant diarrhea. This disease has
become known as summer com
plaint because it usually strikes
children in hot weather. It is most
common among children between
one and two years of age. Because
of this disease, mothers are apt
to be partivulraly anxious about
their chldren durng their second
summer.
Betty my young patient had a
bad case of diarrhea. It was nec
essary to take her off all food and
to let her have only water, which
had previously been boiled. I told
\ the mother to keep the child in
j bed and as quiet as possible, to
sponge her with water whenever
she became restless to clothe her
lightly and t okeep the air in the
room as fresh as possible .. and by
no means to give her any food.
There had been several cases of
summer complaint in town and
one or two children had died of
it. We kept careful watch over
Betty until she responded to some
treatment.
Summer complaint may be cau
sed by one of a number of things
or by a combination of things
Probably the most frequent cause
of infant diarrhea is impure milt
or spoiled food.
The utmost care should be tak
en to see that the Childs milk is
pure. From the time the child
first begins to drink cow’s milk
pasteuzied milk could be used il
it is available. It it is impossible
to obtain pasteurized milk then
the milk should be boiled and
stored in the refrigerator in con
tainers which have been carefully
washed, then sterilized in boiling
water
Food spoils more readily in the
summer than winter and so ex
tra precautions must be taken in
hot weather to prevent food from
spoiling. Left overs should be co
vered and stored in the refrigera
tor. If the refrigeration is not
adequate for the family’s needs,
then the amount of food prepared
at one time should be limited to
what is necessary for immediate
use. Food that shows the least
sign of spoilage should be thrown
away. It is cheaper in the long
run, to throw out food than have
a sick child.
Food should also be protected
from flies. These insects often
carry germs. They may leave
germs on food, then the food when
eaten, causes the child to be ill.
Every precaution should be ta
ken to protect the child's food.
This means not only that the milk
and solid foods must be pure and
uncontaminated but also that any
thing which touches the milk or
food must be clean. The mother
should wash her hands carefully
before preparing meals and be
fore touching utensils or dishes
the child will use in eating.
If the child eats food that is
not pure particularly in the sum
| mer wnen it is naraer tor nim to
l digest food a poison is created
which his body tries to throw off
and which causes diarrhea.
It is important for the child
to get rid of the poison and not
to eat any food until he has. That
is why I gave strict instructions
for Betty to have nothing at all
[ to eat. At the end of 24 hours,
1 Betty was greatly improved and
! it was possible to give her small
nuantities of pasteurized milk.
The feedings were gradually in
. .a ... she -./as normal once
again.
Summer complaint frequently
j '•v’re'i the child to be gravely ill.
[ It is far more than an ordinary
to-nach upset and should be
treated as such. It is always wise
to consult a doctor at the first
to ■ of diarrhea.
If the child is dressed comfort
| ably in light clothes during the
hot weather; if great care is ta
ken to see that his food is clean
and pure and if he is put to bed
in case of a cold; the chances are
that he will safely go through the
hot months without summer com
plaint. a
TC FILM STORY
OF RUDOLPH VALENTINO
For the past seven years, Holly
wood producer Edward Small has
been preparing to bring the life
story of the late Rudolph Valen
tino to the screen. Today, United
Artists revealed, he’s all set to go
ahead with the job. .except for 1
S small detail which seems to be
j holding up the works. . He hasn't
1 been able to put his finger on the
right man to play the title role.
Small finally has a shooting
script which he likes; the problem
[ of studio space has been licked
and ampie financing is on hand.
But he hadn’t encountered a male
lead who looks like he could fill
: the bill.
Harry Kosiner of New York,
Mr Small’s eastern representative
today expressed the belief that the
chap who will eventually handle
the role may come from the rank
i of the unknowns. Small, he said,
has already checked over the lists
! of the established male stars in
Hollywood, but none seem to mea
i sure up to the requirements. Kos
iner is now on the lookout for a
Valentino type right in Manhat.
tan.
There are numerous maie leaus
who resemble the late Valentino
insofar as physical aspects go, but
so far. Small hasn’t encountered
one who possessed the ability to
pass along to the theatre audien
ces the illusion and the virility of
this late star of the silent screen.
If some unknown youth does
turn up to latch onto this role,
Mr. Kosiner added, Small is pre
pared to spend an adequate am
ount of time and money coaching
him, and will also make available
to him the great file of biograph
ical data which the small group
has gathered up relative to the
personal charm of this great heart
breaker of other days
Durng the seven year period,
Small has collected every one of
the movie productions in which
Valentino appeared during his
cinematic hey-day. just so that
whoever gets the part in his new
picture may have an opportunity
to see first hand just now the
Great Rudolph was wont to hand
le any given situation.
