C —The De partment of State today, in ac knowledging receipt of a blister ing NAACP protest against the n*ich-advertised Australian jlm crow immigration policy, declared that the U. S. Sivemment "is not in a position to take such action as you usge.’’ The State Department’s declaration was is sued after the NAACP called at tendtion to a drive now being conduced by Australia^ officials in the I*»ited States in an effort to attract one million new settler s to that country. The NAACP criticized that portion of the wide ly distributed appeal which em phatically barred any prospect bers of the white race. On August 15feh, Roy Wilkins, NAACP assistant secretary, vig orously protested to the State De partment issuance and open dis tribution of a booklet prepared by the Australian News and In formation Bureau, in which it/ was stated, “The door to Austra lian is always open to white Bri tish subjects and- others of Euro pean descent/’ In another sec tion an invitation to settle in Australia was directed to ‘Unit ed States exserivcemen and wo men of white European race.'' The NAACP urged State Depart, ment action because, “One-tenth of America’s population and of her veterans are humiliated by this lily-white campaign.” It was also pointed out “that the camp, aign violates the spirit of the Un ited Nations Charter.” In reply to Roy Wilkins, Jdhn M. Patterson, Adding Chief of the State Department’s Division of Public Lsafcon, stated “I ha\e received your telegram of August 15, 1947 on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urging that this Department investigate and halt discrimination by the Aus. tralian Government inits immi gratidh policy, particularly with respect to American veterans, “As you know, the control of immigration is the exclusive pre rogative of each severeign coun try. Sine* it is the policy of the United States not to interfere in the internal affairs of other sta tes, this Government is not in a position to take such action as you urge.” OWNERS OF JIM-CROW POOL, POLICE CHIEF S£/ED FOR $270,000 NEWARK.

Roofing — Siding — Insulation Guttering OLD ESTABLISHED LINES Pw* Estimates F. N. A. TERMS T. C. Snow KB 6950 The Common Defense... tty Rev. William C. Mbrnan / I FREEDOM OF THE PR£S6 —OR LICENSE On August 14th thg New York Journal.American printed an art icle by Westbrook Peglar which purported to deal with racial hat red as a caiuSg of risunity. In it oopumed this sentnce, "Even the preaching and propagation of rac-1 ial hatred is not an.Arrterican. It is characteristic, a oonfirmed not orious fault of ours.” This is like saying that murder, lying, and theft are not un.Christian because they are faults in human nature. ' It is the fault itself which makes these acts contrary to the Chris tian religion and it is in the same sense Rat preaching racial hatred is a fault which makes it un ■ American. Mr. Pegler goes on to discuss the case of Douglas Chandler, the American broadcaster for the Nazis, who was convicted of trea son in a Federal Court on July 30th. H« makes much of the legal definition of treason and says, re ferring to Qiandler, that “it was no treason to live in Germany, to be friendly with the Nazis even to Hitler himself, to write pro I Nazis material and to broadcast for the Nazis right down to the hour when war became a legal fact.’’ This apprach is likely to be de ceptive. For a patriot’s devOtiom I to his country goes far beyond j any legal interpretation of the crime of treason. A patriotic American fe one who believes in and supports the principles and ideals ef this Reublic He is not now, nor was he during the war, an agent, official or unofficial, for Nazism. Oommunism, or Fas cism. The fact that our principle of freedom of expression allows ^ opponents of Americanism legal. | ly to a;ritate for some un-Ameri. can doctrine does not Wipe out j this distinction between the pat riotic and un-patriotic American. For the patriotic American uses | his guaranteed right of free speech on behalf of the improve ment and perfection of our free isntitutions. The un-American ex ponent of subvejfnve activities employs his guaranteed rights to tear down the very structure of the Union by which his rights are protected. Both may be acting le gally. But only ttie former is act ing patriotically. The American, Douglas Chand ler, for whom Mr. Pepler offers a defense, may have had a legal right to broadcast for the Nazis before the war. Considering the kind of totalitarian dictatorship I =- -- Nazism was and its avowed pur. po&g to subject us as well as all other nations to rts rule. Chand ler was, nevertheless, no true pat- j riotic American. But, after Gee-1 many declared war on us he was not only guilty of un-American-, ism, but of treason too. For he was. by every definition of the word treason, taihering' to our enemies and giving them aid and comfort. It was for this that he was found guilty and sentence to life imprisonment aad fined $10. 000. The Unite<3 States Constitution provide* that "no person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act." The Government had 48 witnesses against Chand ler, 17 of them Germans. The German witnesses testified that in addition to broadcasting from Germany, Chandler had attended ; Nazis propaganda conferences and even recommended ways to Nazis radio officials as to how to impg>ve tltyr broadcasts to the United States. Dr. Anton Wlnkel kemper, Hitler’s Director Gereral of the German Radio Corporation, testified that e%ch day Chandler, and^all other Nazis commentators, received instructions on the pro pdganda line to be broadcast and that “Germany used the radio as a weapon of psychological war. fare for the purposes of creating disunity and undermining moral so that Germany could attain her war objectives.” Against whom? Against us! All of which, as has been said, made Chandles’s act ions treasonable on the ground that he adhered to our enemies and gava them aid and comfort. He had a fair and open trial. His offense is (Hear and plainly stated. All the more is there rea son to wonder what Mr. Pegler j hAd in mind when he wrote, “It ■ was no treason then and it would be no treason now to preach and | extoll Nazis-Fasciam in the Un ted States.” Granted that Mr. Pegler has the right—as one who enjoys American civil liberties thanks to the patriots who defend ed them for him against the Nazis —to publish sentiments like that —is he using freedom of the press the way a patriotic American should—or is this license? ‘Ahoy’, Not 'Hello’ “Ahoy,” not "Hello.” wa* the\ex perimental greeting used when the first commercial telephone switch board and exchangel*vfs installed ^ New Haven, Conn., in 1878.
