to the Negro the freedom to incorporate
into his own life and conduct the values

TROUBLE DOUBLED
The plain-spoken revelation about vice
conditions in Savannah and Chatham
county, and that smelly ado about white
men’s visits to the cell of Negro women
prisoners, do not help the good name
of our city. Of course, there may he
a question as to whether our good name
may not be due to the fact that we, good
citizens, have buried our heads, or
turned them away from evil things. The
Tribune feels less alone now that others
are honest enough to express their con¬
cern about the same things, substanti¬
ally, we have been concerned about. Ev¬
erybody knows we have opposed rack¬
ets and gambling devices, and boledo,
and that despite our own revelations
about its impudent traffic up and down
our streets, on bicycles, in automobiles,
or from holes-in-walls,, little or no se¬
rious attempts appear to be made to ap¬
prehend its vendors- We have insisted
that while boledo is an evil in itself and
pauperizes mainly Negroes, it was sym-
tomatic of a condition that had far-)
reaching and serious implications for
good government. If these recent de¬
velopments do not arouse the good cit¬
izens of this community to action, we
do riot kno*\ what will. We com¬
mend the Rev. Carswell Milligan, and
sincerely hope he has blazed a trail for
other ministers who have hesitated to
venture into a field where the harvest
truly is great.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA DECISION
The decision in the Clarendon school
case is just what we expected. Whether it
has settled anything time will tell. If
South Carolina has permitted the com-
plained-of injustices and inequalities in
education to exist and become intrench¬
ed in its regard toward Negroes, if it
has been deaf to the pleas and interests
of Negroes all the years, there is no cer-*
tainty that it will pay much attention
to the order of the U. S. Court, and lit¬
tle likelihood that Sofcith Carolina can
or will do a great deal in six months
toward actually equalizing facilities.
Negroes do not believe it will. Their

a repertoire of light opera,
musical comedy and popular
music.

experiences have not done much to in¬
spire Negroes with faith that the state’s
premises will be kept. the
A far more serious thing about
decision, however, is its failure to re¬
move or do anything about removing the
stigma of segregation, the brand of in¬
feriority inherent in it which science,
human nature and the genius of democ¬
racy do not support; which Negroes are
expected to accept and like. The mi¬
nority decision in the case states truths
that can not he successfully refuted, and
America wall have to face up to them
some day, distasteful as they may be to
many people now. Either this, or we
become cavilling hypocrites; or we shall
have to repudiate our ideals of democ¬
racy, or redefine them.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE
-There can he no doubt now in the
minds of the most cautious and most
fearful as to the use of Negro baseball
players in major league teams. The
stellar performance of Negro members
of five major league teams does away
with all doubt that they can hold their
own and more. They are playing now
as athletes, not as Negroes, for that
term is no longer used for identification.
Fans have accepted them and accord
them the treatment competitors expect.
The performance of these men to date
is not only a matter of pride to Negroes
and justification to Mr. Rickey, but set¬
tle a question which has kept Negroes
out of participation in major league com¬
petition. A most important outcome has
been the refutation of the argument that
Negroes and whites could not play to¬
gether without conflict and considerable
embarrassment otherwise. No unex¬
pected incidents have occurred to dam¬
age team morale or reduce patronage.
Quite the contrary has been true- If
the present practice of recruiting con¬
tinues, and there is every reason that
it should, the opportunity for Negro
athletes is assured, but on one condi¬
tion; they will have to be able to com¬
pete on the same terms as other athletes.
This is the important thing. The train¬
ing can not be left entirely to sand
lots to prepare prospective recruits.
Our high schools and colleges must fur¬
nish them. The number of high,
school and college men who are entering
the field of tports as a vocation or pro¬
fession, justifies our high schools and
colleges in giving proper and adequate
emphasis to training in this area of
American life. We urge our high
school and college to join in, or initiate
a movement to lift baseball to the sta¬
tus of a major sport on a par with bas¬
ketball and football.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE
BETWEEN THE LINES
By DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK for ANP
I TOLD YOU SO:
It is difficult to run across a more
hackeneyed and sickening colliquialism
than "I told you so.” People at sundry
times make unwarrnted predictions that
mean practically nothing; hut when such
predictions that mean practically nothing; gloat¬
are accidentally fulfilled they exclaim
ingly,” I told you so.’
Of course, psychologically this means a
temporary inflation of the ego and noth¬
ing else. They fail to remember how
many times their predictions hitherto had
failed. But the writer of thus column real¬
ly has a genuine warrant for saying “I
told them so.” that was based not upon
hunches but upon a close and serious study
of a serious situation.
When the Durham conference through
great travail was a reality and was soon
followed by the Atlanta conference com¬
posed wholly of whites to answer the Dur¬
ham Manifesto, a collaboration conference
was held in Richmond composed of emi¬
nent Negroes and whites of the south, who
sought ways and means of mapping out a
course of procedures in race relations for
the south.
The situation was so tense at Durham,
with ininviled “guests,” who patently were
spying on the southern brethren, the writ¬
er was given the difficult task of making
the opening statement. After this state¬
ment failed to elicit the bitter condemnation
of the northern brethren, he was assign¬
ed the further critical task of making the
opening statement to the Richmond collab-
ertion meeting which he made with not a
little fear and trembling.
Strangely enough neither the Durham
statement nor the Richmond statement
drew fire from the rabid opponents of the'
movement. It began to dawn upn the
Negroes of the nation ha souhern Negroes
were not out truckling and trembling but
to face up to critical situation and that in
an emergency southern Negroes could ac¬
quit themselves like men. An exerpt from
the Richmond statement follows:
"Again the Negro leadership of the south
must be saved! For better or worse, Ne-
g"oes are lined up behind Negro ledership
aid the safty of the south and nation re¬
sides in the vision and wisdom of this lead¬
ership.
“The prime reason Negroes are invariably
loyal to this nation in times of war and
peace is found in their ieadershp and a
less sagacious clear-visioned leadership would
have precipiated untold trouble throughout
the south and nation. The pronounced
and commendable general lack of open con¬
flict between the races is due far more to
the leadership of the Negros than to the

might of the whites.
“The Negro leadership of the south thai
has hitherto counselled patience and loy¬
alty, is today being merciless maligned
and misrepresented and unless It. is speed¬
ily strengthened, it is only a matter of time
when it will pass forever. The mistakes
that the white south has made in weakens
ing its Negro leadership must not be re¬
peated if the south is to be spared grievous
tribulations.
"One of the south’s gravent mistakes i-1
best eptimoised in the question of the equal¬
ization of teacher’s salaries While Negroes
and interracialist whites of the south were
counseling patence and the elusve conso¬
lations of social evolution, daring Negroes of
the North and South took matters in charge
and are achieving desirable results.
“These elements appeald from the deci¬
sion of over-cautious Negroes and whites and
won In the courts of the land notable ad¬
vances and what is more the opposition to
these advances are conspicuous for their
weaknesse. The Negro masses are thus em¬
bodied to place their trust in that Negro
leadership that gets results and are disin¬
clined to pin their faith in too conserva¬
tive leadership.
“If the leadership of the southern Negro
is to survive, it must be strengthened; but
withholding ed from it advances that are grant¬
into ethers Is not a good way to- strength¬
en it. T,f the leadership of the south is to
survive the south must cease waiting for
outside sources to extort from it in the
courts concessions that should be made
without a fight.
“If Neemes are forced to looke elsewhere
for leadership in critical times, then they
are going to be inclined to look elsewhere
at all times.
“There is only one safeguard against this
and that is a more advanced policy on the
.part of the white south towards Negroes
of the south. The Negro leadership of thq
south can be strengthened or strangled, and
just which it will be—will be largely de¬
termined by the vision and statesmanship
diplaved by this conspicuous conclave.
"If th(e south resents interference from
outside elements it must liberalize its pol¬
icies pertaining to its Negro citizens and
“interracialism” must not be made synnon-
ymous wth a motion to lay on the table
every proposal for he social and economic
advancement of Negroes.
Thus spoke the writer June 16, 1943, at!
Richmond before an assembled conclave of 1
Negro and white interracialists who consti¬
tuted a collaboration meeting to imple¬
