Wo fight .i human right, either h.v ;m individual or an organization can long succeed. The thought that, it h a fight against right or “rights” weakens it to begin with. It needs, always to ho remembered, “Bight i right once God is Goct and right, the day inua win," Dix iecrats” or any •-•tiiers notwithstanding. All the veiling we hear for "States Bight.." is a veil to keep the states that ion tend for it, in a position t defeat any effort made by tin; Unii*"d Stot*” Government do ni. thing to protect and otherwise help the Negro and other minci itk. within such state It. is a plea foi the t -ght to do vrong: mw that “there is time for a change."

American Medical association came out this week with a start ling indictment of the AMA foi its recent refusal to remove racial bars from various member organ 0. -Finns excluding Negro physi cians. Dr. Car! Glenn is Roberts, con sidered to be one of the fair hair ed" Negro members of the asso- : elation, said: "The rejection of (he proposed amendment submitted by the New York society to the AMA house of delegates in the recent Chicago meeting represents a temporary triumph of the forces of bigotry and reaction.." In scoring the AMA for its pas sage of the racist Georgia resolti ition, he said: REACTIONARY LIGHT "It presents the AMA before a world struggle to preserve demo cracy as a reactionary organiza tion which places so-called states' rights above human rights. ‘Shall organized medicine any •where in this country use the col or of skin to exclude any doctor otherwise perfectly qualified to join its rank- and be entitled to it? ! protection and privileges? This is; ihe one issue at stake. "The AMA sit? as judge and jury in determining admissibility to hos pital staff and qualification for membership in the special societies. A3l doctors must depend upon use of hospital facilities and member ship in specialty board- to practice their profession. Primary membf r.-hip in the AME is essential as a preliminary to the other privilege How *an it permanently exclude n- from m itjbership and then penalize u.> because we arc iv-t member.- ’ "Continued refusal of equality and justice will drive us to suppott : 1 government control th-ri will provide a rrnvciy Through its re cent action the AMA has done much to hasten this dav Our efforts will be unabated until justice L done."
