HY
SENATOR R. R. REYNOLDS
The situation with regard to lynch
ing in the United States hardly just
ifies the time the Senate is giving to
the anti-lynching bill. However, ah
it was brought forth primarily for
vote-gathering purposes in Northern
and Eastern States, Southern Sena
tors have been forced to come to the
defense of law enforcement otlicers in
their respective staus. Nowhere in
the country is there to be found more
able and efficient men than those
who enforce state, county and muni
cipal laws in the South. A Federal
anti-lynch law would i? a reflection
on these officers and all possible ef
fort is being made to prevent it.
Fortunately, the debate on the anu
lynchmg bill comes at a time when
the Senate is awaiting a conference
report on the farm bill and action on
other measures pending in the House.
Thus, Southern Senators are carrying
on their tight without, up to the pres
ent time, serious delay to much
needed and important legislation.
Perhaps never before has the Sen
ate given such time to the control of
a non-existent problem. Lynching is
no longer a real problem. Greater
progress has been made in control
of lynchings than in perhaps any
other form of crime. In 1!H)1, there
were 1M0 people ly ached in the United
States. In 193(5, there were nine.
North Carolina had none. What
other crime has been reduced so rap
idly ? Who reduced it? Not the
Federal Government, but vigilant law
enforcement officers in the Southern
States.
Due feature of the proposed anti
lynching law would provide an indem
nity for the families of unfortunate
iynch victims. . What about funds
for the families of Federal otlicers
killed by gangsters ? The govern
ment provides none. Yet, the legis
lative monstrosity known as the anti
lynch law is being given attention as
if it were designed to control national
problem, instead of to get votes for
the sponsors.
This is being done at a time when
the South is the safest part of the
United States for law-abiding peo
ple and is a section where law-abiding
negroes have their greatest num
ber of friends, What is really pro
posed is to "lynch" the Constitution
and its guarantees of states' rights
solely for vote-grathering purposes.
Any such idea is, of course,, extremely
distasteful to Southern members of
Congress sc'nooleu ;n the traditions of
the South.
During 1936 there were forty-four
instances in which officers of the law
prevented lynchings. Thirty-nine of
these were in Southern states. Here
is evidence of what officers in the
South are doing to prevent lynchings
at the risk of their lives. The Fed
eral Government could not do the job
better.
Since the year 1882, there have
been 4,673 people lynched in the
United States, according to available
records. Does this look like a na
tional problem? While nine people
were lynched in 1936, nearly 40,000
were killed in careless and negligent
highway accidents. This is a na
tional problem. Does the Federal
Government propose tp do something
about that? Certainly it is of more
national concern than the unfortun
ate lynching of nine persons for
crimes for which they would, in most
instances, been executed by the state.
Congress in the anti-lynching bill
is endeavoring to make a legislative
mountain out of a local mole hill.
