that he dismissed one boy and sent the other to a hospital.
In an effort to establish Canady's efficiency as an officer,
the defense proved that Canady was capable of arresting en
raged fighters and impossible drunks with just sheer man
power, yet the Commission excused him of knocking out a
row of thie soldier’s teeth, breaking out a part of his jaw-bone
and splitting his head with a black-jack. They ruled that it
was not exce^ive force.
Very significant was the conspicuous ak«ence'from the
hearing of all the Negro leaders. They eitlier had something
else to do or just chose to remain in their finely furnished of
fices, sit on their stuffed cushioned chairs and toy with speech
es vf goHl-will between the races in North Carolina.
Letters to the editor which appeared in the NEIWS AND
OBSERVER, following the hearing plainly demonstrated what
the white people of North Carolina still think when a question
involving the two races arises, and the outcome showed how
hopelessly lacking we are of the calibre of leadership that will
go to the front in defense of the defenseless.
Sincere leadership in these parts is either absent, latent,
or dormant and it isn't because the south has ceased to pro
duce the leaders. An examination of tbpse who are now in the
thick of the Northern struggle will show that a comfortable
majority ha« migrated from these parts leaving^, only pacifists,
quifpi-leEulers who act as go-between for the wfajite bosses and
wmdd-be Negro leaders; and a few who have just fought out
and are now too tired to make a sound.
If that soldier boy gets a chance to fight for this country,
he will know in no uncertain terms just what kind of a democ
racy he is defending and what a pitiful race he is representing.
He, like thousands of others, knows that if Uncle Siam loses
in this crisis it will be b^ause he ^defeated his soldiers before
sending them abroad.
