For the Nazis, too, used to employ hatchet-men for striking down their victims in cold blood. They, too, employed terroristic me thocjs, saying that in pursuing this line of conduct they were not vi olating anybody’s civil rights. Of course not. The Nazis discounted human rights and felt no obliga tion to recognize and respect them Knowing what Nazism was we ex pected that. But knowing whatj Americanism is, with its empha- ] sis on the sacredness of human personality, we cannot condone the violation of human rights in this country. In the Georgia lynching situ ation we are face to face, not with Americanism, but with a type of Nazism in the United States. If the people who are responsible for the use of Nazi methods in lynch ing four American citizens in our Georgia are not brought to justice 1 if this pattern of terrorism and murder is not disavowed by the American people, then there is no minority group in this country which is secure against the same kind of injustice to which the Ne I gross in Georgia have been sub j jected. If we have learned anything from the experience of mankind under Hitlerism it is that injustice working through terrorism must be stopped when it first appears. Had the people of Germany re fused to permit persecution of the Jews they would all have been spared the experience of persecu tion by the Nazi tyranny at a la ter time. \\*hat happened in Georgia is not simplv the’concern of Negroes The injustice that happened there is an injustice done to us all. The human rights of all must be pro i tected and we must all do it. NEGRO BUILDING MECHANICS URGED TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT WITH HOME BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS (Continued from page 1) building trades labor situation, that efforts to restrict Negro wor kers in the building trades are the direct result of foggy think **nd feeble action on the part of training institutions and biased labor unions. In some cities, he declares, it is almdost heresy and wrong to raise the question of on the-iob training for Negro veter ans. This situation makes it almost impossible to pet an appreciable number of Negro veterans into training programs that would en hance their employment opportu nities in this field.

CHOICE BETWEEN CHRISTIAN FREEDOM AND COMMUNIST EQUALITARIANISM, Declares Cardinal Mooney DETROIT— "The freedom of Christ is the only true freedom, and stands out today as the chief opponent of the new slavery that threatens to engulf the world”, Edward Cardinal Mooney, pro gressive Archbishop of Detroit, today at the conclusion of a Pon tificial High Mass opening a giant interracial testimonial. The day-long program was cal led the best interracial testimon ial of its kind I have dVer witnes sed by veteran interracial cam paigner Fr. John LaFarge, S. J. who delivered the sermon during the Mass. Cardinal Mooney declared that “Christianity is indeed a revolu tionary force in the world. But the Christian revolution begins with the mofral regeneratio nof the individual and through the in dividual brings into society the saving power of justice and char ity and the freedom of Christ”. “Catholics in general and prac tically every minority racial group in our country have suffered dis crimination and have been expo sed to exploitation for sinister pur poses. This is true of the Irish and and the Germans, Poles, the Italians and the other minority groups which successively formed the last wave of immigration to break on our shores”, the Cardinal said. “The effort is obviously being made to exploit your just grevi ances in the interest of utterly anti-Christian subversive forces”, the prelate declared. “The choice lies between the opportunities of freedom in a social, order where Christianitv can work and on the other hand the equalitarianism of Communist slavery”. "The story of your race should lead you to answer without hesi tation, ‘We knew slavery and we are in no mood to go back to it even in a new form”. Fr. LaFarge. editor of America National Catholic Weekly, stress ed the new importance of the Un ited States as a guide to oppressed peoples throughout the world. VETERANS TO ASSIST COM.

Har old L. Ickes and Philip Murray, held ;iy Chicago today. Walter White executive secretary of the NAACP urged that the groups re presented at the Conference do everything in our power to see that an intelligent and liberal Congress is elected.. Speaking as an American but also as a Negro American, White said that despite the fact that Negroes., and especially Negro ve terans, have been subjected to a wave of incredibly sadistic mob violence during recent months, the Negro shares none of the tired liberalism of many of his fellow Americans. Said the secretary. We are not disheartened and we are looking forward not backward. We are determined., no matter what the cost may be, to utilize our growing political strength not only to end lynching, the poll tax. se gregation* unequal educational and job opportunities, but also every other form of discrimina tion which afflicts Americans gen erally. Ours is an increasingly in dependent vote.. It concentrates encreasingly on men and measures not on meaningless party labels We know from bitter experience that everytime the liberties of one American are circumscribed, bv so much are th eliberties of all j Americans lessened. At the outset of his speech, Mr. White emphasized the fact that he did not think a third party was the answer either in 1946 or in 1948. He said not loner before he died Mr. Wendell Willkie told me that he had made an exhaustive stndv of the possibilities of a 3rd party, onl yto learn that it would take a minimum of six years to eret a third partv listed on the bal lot of all the states.

T5ur GUEST Column ' Edited by Verna P. Harris THE ROAD BEYOND INFLATION By if alter D. Reuther, Pres. I nited Auto Workers-CIO Fighting inflation is a full time job for Americans of all races, religions, and creeds. It is not a job that any one group can do alone. And it is a job that requires the united effort of all kinds of Ameri cans for the profiteers who charge inflationary prices do not discriminate. They soak al: sections of the public..regardless of whether their customers are Catholic. Protestant, Jewish, Ne gro or white. But for minority groups, the crippling of OPA and the subse quent profiteering have implica tions that are not appreciated at first glance. A continuation ol gouging prices shoddy materials rising rents can only lead to a fraudulent prosperity, to be follow ed inevitably by a resounding big crash. At a time of wholesale unem ployment and breadlines, even a permanent FEPC„ if we had one. could do relatively little to check a reconversion to Jim Crow em ployment practices. The presence of hunger and of a job scramble would easily outweigh principles of job equality. The widespread education on race relations in recent years will largely go down the drain if A merica is treated to a bust that could only be worse than the 1929 collapse. In the hysteria of their fears, some of the very people who have supposedly become enlight ened on interracial matters would look about them for an easy-to spot scrapegoat. XL uuca I1L»L icquire UCtJp LUUUVJ.115 to predict the encouragement they would get from the Talmadges, Coughlinites and race-baiters. Per haps the Negro would be the 1st scrapegoat. Or. in view of “the wide spread Anti-Semitism in America, the political demagogues might take over where Hitler left off, place the blame for every econo mic ill on four million Jews. But be it Negro, Jew, Catholic or or ganized labor at first, not one mi nority group would long be safe from blind hatred and terrorism. * And so we see the economic base of racial and religious prejudice. Just as social scientists have shown the correlation in the past between the number of lychings and the success or failure of each year’s cotton crop, so too can we predict a nose-dive for goodwill and minority group understand ing if America goes into an eco nomic tailspin. The only language that profi teers will understand is militant strike action by consumers. The only recourse of tenants against unfair rents is action in concert with their neighbors, white or black. The only block in the path of the race-baiting hate tribe will be our rugged determination to prevent the economic breakdown which breeds discrimination. Under the revised OPA, consu mers are already taking a beating from a form of legalized inflation. Price “control, as currently admin istered in Washington, is a sham. Ceilings and controls are being lifted and relaxed right and left in response to the pressure of the profiteers. The battleground against infla tion is now in each and every neighborhood in America—and the responsibility for policing price con trols rests with individual consu mers and housewives. But they must act collectively—on the ba sis of a common plan of %ction— if the fight against inflation is to succeed. It’s up to the buver to choose between inflation followed by de lation, unemployment, depression l The Omaha Guide h + A WEEKLY 1 NEWSPAPER + S ubiishea Ever \ ,1 at ,.'0a\ at i^tii Grant Street Vt OMAHA.

E. Sar.dall today when he ad dressed the noon Incheon meeting .of the Downtown Kiwanis Club at Hotel Fontenelle. Business men, particularly, with your heavy stake in the future of this good city cannot afford to be indifferent in this matter. It is tremendously important that you businessmen make your wishes and demands known to your city com missioners and especially to those officials who already have dem onstrated a desire to eliminate those licenses whose past records condemn them. Join with the city commissioners to see that those people are not relicensed. . either personally or throug a ‘front’ or other subterfuge, .and you will see j a quick solution of most of Omaha problems with sales to minors, \ sales to intoxicated persons, gam bling and traffic hazards. “The beer industry is demon strating as it has for many years, that it recognizes and accepts its PICNIC PET | - I BEACH parties and outdoor cook ery call for an outfit as casually pretty as this spun rayon picnicker.

More than eight years ago this program was launched by certain farsighted midwestem brewers including our own here in Nebraska. They saw that they had a mutual interest with the public in finding a perm anent solution to the alcoholic be verage problem. On the industry’s part, self-regulation is a practical workable program; one of good conduct in taverns, moderation in the sale and consumption of beer, and of wholehearted cooperation with public authorities. Mr. Sandall quote dsections of the Nebraska Liquor Control Act which forbid brewers and whole salers from being directly or in directly interested in the owner ship conduct or operation of the business of any licensed retailer, authorized to sell alcoholic liquor under this Act. This means, he pointed out, that the public not brewers or wholesalers must ac cept the initial responsibility for blocking issuance of licenses to those whose bad records mark them as unqualified. As truly pu blic-spirited citizens you business people of Omaha cannot, and must not, shirk this responsibility”.
