PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS M. C ANT* NAACP Although the local dally press found -grounds for editorial criticism of some- v of the things said at the district mooting oi dhe National Association for the Advance ment oi Colored People hold recently in ,'Raleigh, it was evident that they were .ivv.-J put to do so. The Ralegh Times took a mild poke at Walter White for his criti • i ■eism oi the xoulhern senators’ filibuster, laud n d the adjective ‘'explosive** in de scribing his speech. Mr. White did score the southern sen a hors, who doubtless would agree that they • deserve the “credit" for organizing the .'filibuster, and who were openly united be hind that drive to head off consideration lot the civil rights measures; but lie also .pointed out the defection of the northern and western Republicans who ditched their own party platform and gave aid hind comfort to the Dixie statesmen in a •ve >• y of sect ive man n er. The New and Observer chose to criii vi«e the remarks of Mr. Alexander, state ;NAACP head, for statements imply bur [that North Carolina is not: as “progres sive ’■ in race relations as it often gels ■credit for being, and attributing that sit juation to the diplomacy of the white and i:e apathy or pacifism of the Negro load jers. The writer of the editorial scented to fits to be unduly exercised over Mr. Alex • ander’s statement, which set forth a phil osophy fairly widely held in the history ■of the word —a philosophy which looks upon gradualism and piece-meal concern is ion a as sometimes less praiseworthy than the gradualist;' and the piecemeal dispeii rev.; would represent it. Fh ore arc many Avho do not subscribe to this . iew, but it ,;is one that has its points, and there is hardly a Negro in the United States, and this include* North t arolina .who has not at some time fell, pretty much the same wentimenfs expressed by Mr. Alexander, swe would venture to say. W e would go ffuether and say that there are probably . few “red-blooded” while men in the coun try, and especially in the South, who, if ‘they were •by same miracle made into ’Ncgioeg would not share to some extent ■the feelings expressed by Mr. Alexander ■within v, few days after the change. But the really significant thing about 'the NAACP meeting in Raleigh was the’ contrast between the official and public reaction to that organization and its pro gram today and what it would have been • fifteen or twenty years ago. This new at ‘i itude is probably, best summed up in a piatcment in the Raleigh Times editorial referred to: ! “The race question in North Carolina • although not violent is sharp chough to ‘demand that some responsible group, like ;gro -i ion of North Carolina's popula iN AACP perhaps, will speak for the No •lion." I * Whereas twenty years ago the NAACP ■would likely have been condemned out !of hand or at best studiedly ignored by the white press on the occasion of such a meeting, here we have an editorial jcencoding that the Negro needs an organ y’/ation in North Carolina to represent chose special interests which are inevit able under our bi-raeial system as it Is, land that the NAACP might be the organ ization logically to meet that need. • And the. city government extended hi official welcome to the conference. I There has been a lot of progress in jNorth Carolina, as Mr. White and Mr. {Alexander, as well ,u> the editor; oi the Jocal dailies, either did or will acknowl edge, along with millions of others. But <l. is contrary to human nature to expect. 3hat those who have made gains toward !n clear and clearly desirable goal ai ■ going to be satisfied not to ga fat. tier. f it. is well not to forget how far we have V pome, and it D not proper that we. should (forget ; but reflection on the progress al jt'eady made can never replace the desire io reach the goal, nor should it. j North Ca nii; ,:’,s conscience is develop ing, ho-wever. That this is true is shown )K)t only by what it has done, but as well hy what both its Negro and its white citi i zens are sen. Stive about v hen mere, i , thought and talk of what still remains to bo done before it becomes tho kind of place 1 hat bolb its Negro and white citi zens would wish it to deserve be ru ga rded. THE CITY KLECTION With the oitv primary election for tho nomination of candidate.; for municipal office, only days away it may be well I«> remind citizens who have, never voted in a city election that the.v arc probably mat registered cai the city poll books. Some confusion is revealed at each ob-ction <>n ilie part of a number of new and infre quent: voters, many of whom do not real ize that a different registration is nec-es sar.v to qualify for voting in city elections. It makes no difference whether the per son is registered on the ot her books or not The other nooks enroll voters lot the primaries and finals in township, county, state and national elections, blit have no bearing on city elections. The registrars are the same for all elec tions. The vopw or prospective voter who j . not absolutely certain Unit he has boon registered on the (.’id A book of U’r pro cinct should by all means check Witn me j>recinet registrar to find out. O n c Negro has. announced bis Candida ov tm-the city council, A, Haywood, a well-known business man long active, in community ailai s Mr. fiayvvi ,: d is well qualified as a candidate having a broad practical knowledge of > bo city, its needs, and the operations of 'be municipal gov enimeut. He would be in position, ii ’’.orig inated and elected, to represent the spec ial needs ot the Negro • •Hizt'it-’, a. v. ■■!. - • to uei’ve the cby as a whole. Most of the present, council r. expected to run for y>: -election. The members who reck anoHier two-year term will be run ring on the record .of ih<> city government toi tin- two years, i'h< r< u ill he her and new candidates. The voters will have to decide whether they want, new people on the council or whether the record of tlm present council is good enough to warrant retaining in office its members who are candidates. A city judge is lobe elected, and -Judge Smith is a candidate for re election. II ■ ai.-o must be rated on his record, which in the opinion oi the < 'AROI INI AN is a good one. However, he lias opposition, and a choice must also be made bore. The C \ROLI\I AN is not choosing Can dida fes for its readers. Ft urges strongly, however, that the people go to the polls in the primary and again in the final ele< - Lon. and vote their own choices, not leav ing it to others to decide who shall run tho city government: for the next two years. ADMISSION OF FAILURE However advisable or even necessary the Atlantic Pact may be in consideration of the state of world affairs, the announce ment of its signing is inevitably accom panied by sobering thought*. To those who had such high hopes of the United Nations, the Atlantic Pact appears as an admission of disillusionment. For what ever else is t rue regarding this new alli ance, it. means, that the western nations do not regard the UN any longer as effective machinery for protecting them against . g gcession or for guaranteeing the peace of the world. Wether we pla < nil tin blame for this on Russia or accept part , oi' it our.-advi-. the sad fact remains that the United Na tions has been written off at least, for the time being, as iiu ; fecstive tor serving its main purpma . aril H looks ax it wo are right back wmv • we started from at tin* rod of \Y aid War 11 THE CAROLINIAN Published by The Carolinian Publishing Co.
