BETWEEN THE LINES

By Dean Gordon B. Hancock for ANP
~THE SOUTH~S GROWING PAINS?

For the past several weeks, the ~

south has tburped the
chased, its Ta madge js being challenged! For better or worze
the sunny south is getting plenty un~avorable publ:city, much
to the chagrin and discomfort of miilion$ of proud southerners.
[It is fervently to be hoped that the throes through which the
scuth is passing will amount to so many growing pains. It would
be exceedingly unfortunate for the south to endure cuch humiliation without growing.

Knowing the south as | do, | am convinced that, were the
south of the same mind as in the days of Ben Tillman, Hoke
Smith, Tom Watson and Cole Blease, there would be a'most

1

perfect tranquility. Everybody would be perfectly content with
Negro-Laiters in full unchallenged power. But today another
element that causes the trouble through which the south is passing.

In he times of Tillman and Hoke Smith it would be simply unthinkable to even ask questions about Bilbo-ims and Talmadgism. The fact that thee two current demagogues are
being seriously challenged as a long way from the days of Hoke
Smith and Ben Tillman. Things are not nearly as serious as they
| would be if Georgia had peace with its Talmadge; and Misissippi had pride in its Bilbo.

When German damnation was raining upon luckless England during the last war en Englad was standing alone against
the hellish hordes of Hitler, Churchill was quoted as saying that
was Englands finest moment. We disagree, with the rejo nder.
that England's finest moment was not her courage and stamina

nder pressure: her finest moment will be when she releases
er colonia's from:their slavery; when she ceases to divids peosles in order to rule them, as for xamples, the Arabs and Jews
n Palestine, the Hindoes and-Mohammedans in [ndia, the UIsteries and the trish Free-Staters in Ireland.

If Georgia is stiffening her defense against demiagogery as
-mbodied in Talmadging, thi:
1er finer moments. But Georgia's task is indeed a tedious and
roublesome one. The roots of Talmadgism are deep indeed.

Try how we will, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that
xeorgia is afflicted with some of the worst people in America |
ind*the world. The disgrace of lynching four innocent Negroes

4at can hardly live down in this generation. Even the heroic eforts

~f mdoern times. The only redeeming feature of the ugly Geor-,ia situation is the knowledge that there are hundreds of thousnds of decent whites who are sick and tired of.Talmadgism
ind ku klux-ism and the otherdisgracefui ~~isms~~ that afflict the
-racker State. Georgia, fighting, over certain vital issues is far
retter than a Georgia, feasting.

So instead of. taking a gloomy outliik on Georgia's travail,
there are reasons to be hopeful. The ugly events iranspiring in
seorgia must not be alone observed but they must be interpret-d; end in this interpretation alone do we find reason for hope.
Chere is one hing of which we may be quite sure, and that is,
Georgia with a taste of Arnallism will never be satisfied again
with a political diet of. Talmadgism. One of the best things that
he congress of the United States could do, would be to ena:t
egislation whereby the public school system of the south could
~~ improved.

The real trouble in Georgia and other parts of the south is
downright ignorance, and there will be no permanent relief unil this ignorance is banished. The element in Georgia struggling
gainst Talmadgism i~ the educated eiement. The strengthening
~f this element must wait upon the strengthening of education
n Geergia, which must in turn wait upon federal assistance.

When the matter was before the nation a few years ago
nany of us protested any plan that did not guarantee equitabldistribution to the Negroes of he south. But so serious is the s~tvation in Georgia that if Negroes did not share at all, they
vould certainly benefit by the higher level of moral decency

hat is sure to follow improvement in education among the
owly whites of Georgia and its growing pains!

as a war financing measure. Apparently the intention was to sell
the gems for foreign exchange and
purchase munitions and raw materi-; als.

The gems are valuéd at between
20 and 25 million dollars. But gem
experts with, knowledge of the hoard
said the army undgubtedly was
speaking conservatively.

~They represent the entire diamond resources of the whole nation,~~
Edward Henderson of Smithsonian
institution said. ~~This undoubtedly
is a situation unique in history. I
know of no other time when virtually every diamond owned by every
individual in a nation was concer gt
at one place.~ &

Held in Bank Vaults.

The gems now are in vaults of the;
Bank of Japan in Tokyo.

Officials here said oie box of gems
was located in Tokyo after a Japanese reported he knew of a place
~where diamonds are scattered all
over.~

U.S. army intelligence then uncovered other hiding places, which
yielded gallons of diamonds, often
in flimsy containers such as shoe
boxes.

The
condition,

gems were ~in a confused
dirty and mixed. with
worthless debris,~~ the army said.

Henderson and Dr. William H.
Foshag, curator of minerals at the
Smithsonian, were called to Tokyo
to classify and appraise the ~~collection.~ a
~If they had been piled in one
heap, I don~t suppose you could have
stretched your arms around the bottom of the pile,~~ Henderson said.

G.I.s Kept Bug-Eyed.

It took Henderson and Dr. Foshag,
working with four Japs, five months
to count and classify them.

G.I.s assigned to watch over the
room where the diamonds were kept
were bug-eyed when they saw the
display. Later they were bored by
the monotony of the count.

~If I ever. marry a girl, I~ll never
give her a diamond,~ one G.I. said.
~T hate the sight of them.~~

No famous individual diamonds
turned up, and apparently none from
the Jap crown jewels. The three
heaviest weighed a total of 100
carats. This compares with 106
earats fur the Kohinoor diamond of
the British crown jewels.

Gevernment officials expect the
diamonds to become reparations for
payment to the Allies who fought
Japan. = ~

Old Cathedral Is Falling

Apart; Need Repair Funds
CHICHESTER, ENGLAND. ~ The
Jead and silver roof of old Chichester cathedral is ~~creeping like a
caterpillar,~ while the death watch
beetle ticks away underfieath.

Lord Lconfield of Sussex has appealed for $120,000 for urgent repairs to the 850-year-old edifice.

The whole of the 200-year-old lead
roof, containing much medieval silver, must be stripped off and re
cast. Its sloughing off has left great,

gaps at the top. Essential repairs
also will have to be made to stonework. Better ventilation will have
to be provided to retard the undermining of the bectles. a

The cathedral was begun in 1088.
It was ravaged by fire in 1114. In
1861 the central tower and spire collapsed, but they rose again from
the ruins. Further damage came in
violent gales of 1929-30.
