In referring to the segregation law the Richmond paper had the following to say. The laws result in (Closer, interracial contact... than would otherwise be the case because where as white and colored passengers usually sit in separ ate seats, the invariably crowded condition, in the aisles of street cars and buses at rush hours throws the races ti^ether as never before. Colored pas sengers who get on crowded cars or buses have to push their wiy to the rear through a dense mass of white people, and in the case of one-man cars they ' must force their way back to the front again. It would be preferable If the Negroes were allowed to stand or sit in the car or bus wherever they could find room, thus avoiding the push through the packed aisles.

I Up to now one of the j;reat advantages of our republic has been that it was never stati» long enough for any p-oup to keep control too long. Th*' country was too big, too varied in its resources, to be any thing but fluid. Founded upon religious freedom, religious autocracy has never been allow ed a foothold. Not erected upon a class structure, it has not divided into classes - for in each generation men have found their own level as in dividuals, not as a group or groups. The classic phrase i? “three gooerations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves. ” Lately, however, there has been an increasing tendeney to separate into groups, or cliques, governed by ideas. This trend is definitely dang erous - for any group which Those are strong words to come from a southern news paper concerning a custom that the south has cherished lor so many years, but the wisdom contained in them cannot be successfully contradicted by even the most learned student of social problems. The segregation law, like all other laws of discrim ination, is basically wrong and wrong laws like wrong people cannot continue to endure without causin'g trouble. However desirable they both may appear to be at the time, * the hour will come when that part in man which is akin to the Divine will revolt against them continuing wrong. ; claims unique revelations or The reason given by the Times Dispatch is that, un- I political preferment is a divi due crowded conditions, defeat the very purpose for influence aiming at phy which it was enacted—that is the separation of the races. Underneath this reason is one more fundamental and that we think is the revolt in the conscience of thinking white people who are beginning to realize the unfair princi ples which sustain a law of this kind, and the foolish ness of trying to keep the races separated when riding ! fore the ihterest on public carriers when they are getting together on more intimate terms on private carriers and in other ways.

Last Monday these two well informed gentlemen on taxes, income and finance, told the Senate finance committee that federal sales tax is “completely lacking in any relation to ability to pay.” Mr. Morgenthau stated further that the “imposition if a substantial sales tax almost surely would be the sig nal for widespread demands for higher wages and farm prices which, if allowed, would result in large additional costs to government and increase in the cost of living over and beyond the amount of the tax.” Several weeks ago the Carolina Times emphatically opposed certain Negro pseudo tax experts in these parts because we felt that the sales tax is too intricate a mat ter to be fully understood by other than those who have had experience and training in that particular field. We are happy ti know that our stand on such an important . matter was justified and is concurred in by the treasurer of the United States. Christmas Eve Is Major - Date For Music Lovers CHRISTMAS EVE is one of the toost important dates in the history of mask. Compositions which have endured through the years have bad their ptemi iere on ChriKmas Eve, and fond and sad memories of by- sical, economic or mental do- minjition over others. It is the breeder of dissension and intolerance among our people. When Americans put the in terests of their own group be- of America as a whole, they are setting up in our country the breed ing grounds for dispute.^, the like of which have laid Avaste Europe for centuries. Whether those interests be special con cessions for Industry or special privileges for Labor; whether they be special consideration for any Religious group or special favors for any minor ity, they still spell over reach ing. There is no group w'hose record is guiltless in this res pect. Justice for all, equal in its applicati(jn, should be' our aim as Americcans. Before w.' make a demand, we should figure out if we are asking for a favor or a right - and if we are willing that the same right or favor be granted to everyone. The primary fallacy in logic ia arguing from th-? individual to the group. We are a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But we can fulfill our destiny as a nation only ^as the individual., eitizens, acting not as groups, but as Americans, Avork for the good of all the people - for all America.
