Mob Bill Has
Support Of
Maiorily
NEW YORK — An indication
that the Federal Anti-lynching
bill has the full support of the
majority of Senators, was voiced
by Seiiltor- Robert F. Wagner,
one of the auCKors of the biU,
in a statement issued in Wash
ington March. 13, at the close of
Senate Sub-committee hearings
on the bill. ....
The full statement issued by
Wagner, explaining his own
stand, and the relationship of the
fight for this bill to the Internal-
tional situation follows:
“The favoraible report of the
Auti-Iynching till by tlie StA-
committee of the Judicit^ry Com
mittee, immediately upon the
close of hearings tod^y, is a
prrntifying indfEation of the over
wtekning support for the bill in
th(> Senate. In tliese times, when
democracy is on trial throughout
the civilized world, it is especially
fitting ^rtd especially important
to safeguard libertiea of evei^
tiona^^eans the civil rights anfl
t\r€ personal liberties of every
American citisen, howeper bum
ble and whatever his ra^e or
Color. The pending bill is sfmilar
.ous ^lui-iynching me^^
sures which I have joined in
pressing for enactmenjLj^ince the
year 1934. For six years the is
sue h|Lti been discussed and de
bated by the Senate as fully as
any issue ever presented to
Congrss and the American peo-
'pie. In that time, 73 lynchings
have occurried. The number of
lynching* has varied with signifi
cant reguljgirity as the thread of
legislation has seemed more or
less possible of fulfillment. If
the threat- of a federal ^nti-
1} aching bill can minimize or put
a temporary hight to lynching,
that is the best argument for a
Federal nti lynching Ifi#. Al
though a comparatively small
number of lynchings occurred
last y&iir, we have no assurance
whatever that lynchings will
cc^'tinue to decline if this legisla
tion is shelved. There must be a
definite and peri)Uinent end to
the barbarous practice of lynch
ing, which haa held America up
to ridicule contempt among
ths common people of many
lands.”
