THE INTSMACIAL COMMISSION WILL our desk a proghtm of the l>8th annual state-wide held by the North Carolina Interracial af elation which is to be held in Goldsboro on May 4-5.

Zha interracial meeting is the first we have ever received in the the organisation has existed in this state. As far as we baen able to leam this is^the first year that a Negro news- af the state has received an invitation to a meeting of the organi*tion. To oar frionds and readers throughout the state we wish to say that we will certainly be present when the meeting opens oa April 4, and th}s time as a full fledged invited guest, if not as a laainder cf addresses delivered by Negroes will follow the usual chysbed ^ iiutioa. «' Wttb one exception &e program for this year's meeting follows Msiwaal course and limits for, the most part, its N^o partici- to state employoa. The one exception is Dr. Mortfecai John- aaa« president of Howard University who will deliver the closing of the meeting on Wednesdscy.

Xa^ split'of thie-northern and southern Democrats Oq this issue follon^ the same line of cle^/|^ which has continu^ -ifo ‘ thrust the country aj^crt since the adoption of. JAa^onstitotion. The place of; the Negro in the 6ody politic hac the bone of contention. The Mason and Dixon Une was traced by two famous British surveyors from the Dela ware Bay to the Ohio River; whence it was pushed alonf the the Ohio to the Mississippi River by the ordinance of 1784, and eras extended still further to the Pacific Ocean by the Misaouh compromises of 1620 and 1850. This isothermal lin» drawn a- cross the continent has taken on great pollticalf economic and* so cial significance. Anti lynching legislation in the 4 very nature of th« case, should be actuated by moral rather than s politica 1 consideration. UnlesH Democracy destroys the mob, the mob will destroy Democracy. Unfortunately, the anti-lynch- ng bill is made to assume the ap-> pearance of race legislation. Those who support it are motiva ted largely by the thought that they are rendering a favor to the Negro rsce instead of to the cion&V existence,'l)ut as a mat ter of fact the Negroi though the more numerous victim of the mob spirit, is by no means its only victim. Mere than 15p0 white meu and women have been lynch- t ed dnd burned at the stske by the maddened mob during the past fifty years. If not a single Ne gro lad been lynched in the meantime, the enormilh of this evil should be the chief concern of national legislation. Whenever action of any involving the Negro is broached, tl'a'^outh reverts to its tradition al attitoda^^ negation and as sumes the doctrine of atatas* rights, and^ local self-government as its protective philosopby. Lynching, unlike its twin in iquity, fidnapping, is not ap proached in tbs national ^ but its condemnation or condo nation follows fixed georgr^pbic t^pndary. Lynching does not constitute a political itfue bot- wosn the two great major par ties.

The Dyer Anti-lynching and the Gavagan Bill have bptk pasMd the House -of S^prescnta- tiveS by a practically solid oppo sition of the southern poeeA pta^S^.of I^moci^. Both the Dyer Anti;;JyMVingT^ the Cosli^K«:Wagnor BUI tfi^i^ted by southern Senators who resorted to filibusterinR tactics tor that purpose. The Ga vagan headed for the same fate. By virtue of the more liberal rule of the Senate^ a few determined Senators can defeat atiy measure to which they are unalterably opposed. The sponsors of the Costigan- Wagner bill committed thie blun der of first submitting it to the Senate, thus depriving tha llouse of registering the attitude of tho preponderant majority of the American peop^ on the necesstly of ridding the ' nation e/ this national atrocity. If any feasible measure to put dowm lynching and mob violence and Roosevelt has gradually open ed the Negro's eyes to the actu- j ality of the political situation. When he loola about him and applies the acid test of reasorf in stead of the touchstone of emo tions to the political situation, he finds there exists no discer- naible difference between Repu blican and Democrat except as they are influenced^ by geography The vote on the Gavagan Bill tiearly demonstrates ^i s propo sition. ^ If TMT tl the US tirft eitc, BrMkd It IlM rifti XTRBMB rodubtnl diets may resuh in nor- vous breakdown.

In the Negro’s simple, unto- phisticated mind, the Republican party become identical with the N^rth, and the Democratic party with the South. Tho^^me oewld do no wrong; the ether could do no right. Indeed the terms North and South, Republlcali and Dem^ crat assumed the opposafcillty of up and down in physics, and right and wrong in ethics, as if Hues of latitude conveyed moral con notations.
