PACit form THE rAKOT.TNTAN VTEEK ENDING SATURDAY. MAY 25. 1946 EDITORIALS MISPLACED EMPHASIS The remarkable thing about the Alpha Chi Delta Kororily is obviously not that thhe national body is flabbergasted by the problem of a Negro girl being a pledgt- to the organization: it is rather that a chapter of the sorority actually did pledge a colored girl. F’or a M'hito social Greek letter organization to accept a Ne- gnro as a candidate for membership is ex tremely rare, and alwa)'.s has boon. As u matter of fact many scholarships and professional fratornitii.'s and sororities do hot consider accepting Negroes, .and the fliajofity of social fraternities bar Jews ts XTffll. Both Negroes and J ws have set up their own orgnnizalum as an answer to this all-but-univorsHi discriminutiun against them. So all the furore stirred up in the press and directed against Alpha Chi Delta is a little misplaced. It should br remember ed tnat Alpha Chi Della broke into the nett’s only because one her chapters did something which literally thou.'iunds of other fraternity and .sorority chapters have never dared to try. Instead of castigating the national body, whose policy is exactly the same as that of practically every one of Its kind in the United States, wc should be prais ing and congratulating the group of girl.i in the one chapter of the so -ority. the one at the University of Vermont, which had the courage to break the strong precedent by admitting a Negro student to candi dacy for membership. E\’en more praise- ■Worthy is the willingness of the chapter members to stick by their decision under th^ censure of the national officers and the threat of suspension. 4US IKCIDENT Eight wot vet won THE CJUtOLiniAR PuMtfned by The Carclinian Publisliing Co. iWefi ' P.

All this .slaughter has been vi.-:i*id upon tlw -lews l>i*cause tliey will not lenouncL the lehgion of Abialiam. Isaac and .lacob. The Jew .-till has leligious eonviclioiis, atui every human institution of laiidahli- purpo.sts has be»-n mirro.cci in flit law ol Moses. The Jews have greatir c);u-n? upon Uie mercy and philanthrophy of mankind than any living group ol humans. Did the Jew not give the world its God. il.s Bible and il.s Jesus Christ'? What greater h)c.s.sing coul.' any peitple give to mankind than the Jew has al ready given? I stood near the Wailing Wall in Jeru-sal‘'in in l5tJ7 and heard the Jews wail and was !old that for nearly HUhO year;; the Jew.s liavc bei n w;iiting there Atlor 2000 years of the woi-st .suffering « ver to be inflicted upon a p«-oplo. the Jew .still believe.s in the God of Abiaham. I could not restrain a tearful sigh as I watched more than .'i.UOil waiting men ;md women and children w-ailing and praying for God to return the glory to the .lews thal Jerusalem knew in the da.vs of Solomon. The suffering ol the Jc.vs should .^eriou.'ly concern tin Negro I verywheio. Wlial has happened lo the Jew.t in Germany could It j$ a fiourcc of i^aiisfaction that the Woman arrested for violation of the $e|To^ation taw applying to pas.sengers oQ the city buses was acquitted in munici pal j$ourt. It Was bad unough that she suf- ferpd the liumiliation of being asked to ihaye from her seat when, according to th$ testimony, there was no xvarrani under tha law fo rthe driver to demand that she rttM'e. This is quite apart from and in ad- ditioh to the question of the propriety of th$ Uw itself. Baleigh has happily had relatively few incidents involving offensive enforcement or Jnis-enforcement of the law, which at beet offers wide possibilitic-s for injustice ahd discrimination. It is very important that the hiunicipal court did not encourage by Its h$n.iHng of this case the repetition of the kind of experience the student of ^aw University had. The struggle of rlie southern Negro for the ballot is not yet won. Barrier.’'; are be ing removed. Thousands of Ncgroe.'s are registered and qualified to take part in the Democratic primaries of Georgia; ihousaiids have already voted voted in Florida. New decisions almost weekly are dynamiting the legality of the w!r’‘.c pri mary, regardless of the form in xx’hich it is set up in the various states. The fight is not over, howexer, and will not be until in every southern state, and in eve^’ community wituin the state, the qualified Negro voter ni a y register and vote without question and as a matter of coulee. This goal hasn’t yet been achiex - •d even in North Carolina. In Alabania, South Carolina.

The bill passed by the House which would have extended the original draft act for approximately a .vear banned the drafting of fathei's and of teen-agei's. When the Senate failed up to the last minute to act on the House ver.sion of tlie bill, and then as an emergency mea.sure voted to extend the act a.s it .stood until July 1, the House refused to be sidetrack ed from is own original purpose, and in sisted on amendin.r the rush muasure to include the ban on the induction of the tu’o classes of registrants. Rather tliaii have selective service end by default on May 16 the Senate had to accept the bill as amended by tlie House, and the Pre.sj- dent had to sign it. The slop-gap measure is etVeetive only intil July 1. Meanxvhile a noxx- bill xviM be worked out to go into effect after that date. There xvill be great preasuro from Army officials, the War and Navy depart ments ,and fill' President, xvho is backinir the program of the military, to return (Ih- young men under 20 tt» draff eligiltiliv. Those responsible for our military stnit-- ture insist that the young men in that ag" group must be draxvti on if our armed forces are to be maintained at the neces sary .strength xvithout keeping men al ready in service longer than had been planned. But it seems that a lot of menibens of the House have got to be convinced that (1) the Armed Forces in peacetime need to be as large as the generals jind admirals say; (2) if so, thi.s strength can be main tained only by drafting boys and fathers. A lot of plain citizens feel the same M’ay as the majority of the House of Rep resentatives. The people do not xvant t»i see any man kept overseas in the Army a day longer than i.s necessary, and they agree that it is only fair that tho.se xvl,.) have .served should be relieved by othei.s who have not But the people need to be convinced that an army of more than ;t million men is still needed a year after the fighting xvar is over. So far the gen erals and admirals have not .succeeded in removing the doubts of the people. They may be entirely right, but they have not sold the idea to Mr. and Mrs. America, who do not believe that taking boys out of .school and fathers axvay from their fam ilies is called for by any nece.ssity. that exists at this time. IhouRht did Negroes Rive to the plight of the Aim-rieans of la- p>ancsi- ancestry in this country during the war'? Those people were shamefully treated as a group and in many individucil instance.;.

The suffering of the Jc’.vs .should .seriously concern Iht Negro iveiywherc. What has happened to the Jews in Germany could hapixn to Negroes here.

Aroy. leading dairy ex pert of the .Nlati- College Exten sion Service, on the eve of June Dt'.iry Month which will he pro moted again this year by the North Carolina Dairy Product.s Association, said that the .stat" will be deficient in milk produc tion only .so long as “it is ncci-s- sary to import food.” He declared th.at the large acrcage.s of margin al land in this state; economists Luy that there is “some'' unused, iiun-productivc land on every tarm in the state; might well be utilized for pasture and the pro duction of hay crops. Once there is sufficient home production of feed and pasture, milk, imports will vanish. Arey believes. Meanwhile, in this year of *Titi- cnily .short feeds and milk, Arey leminds that it is “douby import- ant" that ample supplies of hay and .silage b' produced this sum mer for feeding next winter to uli dairy animals now in produc tion. "Bi'cau.se of the shortage of protein meals," the dairyman de clared. "a few acres planted to soybeans this .spring is real in- siiianec against such a .shortage next winter.
