The True Voice

The white heat of publicity is purging the dross. of filibustering legislators and journalistic twisters, who are standing in the
way of the passing of the present anti-lynching bill.

While one renowned editor, Arthur Robb, writes that tlie South
should be let alone to work out its own lynch problem, another |
outstanding newspaper man, and a southerner, Mark Ethridge, of
the Louisville, Ky., Courier-Journal and: Louisville Times, takes
- opposite view, which was expressed in a letter to Walter White,

NAAGP. secretary, who in turn had the Jetter read in the record
of thé: Senate hearing on Wednesday.

Mr. Ethridge~s letter, which appeared in Thursday, Februar y
8, issue of the Atlanta Daily World, is strong food for all who attempt to show why the anti-lynching measure should not become
law. On the heels of the publishing of Mr. Ethridge~s letter, represéritatives of 40,000 members of the Association of Southern
Women for the Prevention of Lynching opened their meeting in
this city on Thursday. According to reports, this group of southern
white women will devote particular. attention to examining means
of co-operating with newspapers and press associations to publicize
lynch-mob activities, but are opposed to a federal anti-lynch law.

These strong manifestations favoring anti-lynching measures,
coming from the South, pull the cover frony the South~s senators
and congressmen, who for no righteous reason, fight against the
bill on the false alarm that they are representing the wishes of the
southern voters who put them in office. Mr. Ethridge said: ~J
feel that the true voice of the: South is not the voice of. those who
filibuster against ~measures designed to express its humanity, but
the real voice of the South is that of the sixty-hree. per cent who

Better Times On The Farm

~Better niarketing for agriculture is not a selfish goal, be-eause it~ will help the~ producer and. consumer alike,~ said L. J.
~Taher, National Grange Master, recently.

The consuming xepulation depends upon the farmer for a

constant, never- failing supply of high quality food products. More |
orderly, efficient niarketing means a better and wider~ variety of
foods for millions of homes. This has been thoroughly proved
in those areas where agricultural marketing cooperation has been
most highly developed.:

On top ~of that, the fartner constitutes the largest single market for the producis of our factories. Clothing, machinery, autoniobiles, insurance policies, building materials, newspapers and mag:
azines~the tarmer spends hundreds of millions of dollars for such
things-each year. Increased farm income thus meqns more jobs
and more opportunities. for huginess and industrial ayorkers.....,

looks at a lynching asa horrible social and racial phenomenon. that
it is, and think we should stop short of no legal expedient to wipe
ft out.~ It was asserted by Mr. Ethridge that the Gallup poll
showed that seventy-two per cent of the people of the United
States and gixty-three per cent of the people of the South favor
an anti-lyne h law.
