The Test Of The Bricker Amendment
On The "Proving Grounds"
It sounds enough like Mark Anthony in his oration, over the
death of his opponent — "I did not cause his death — but, shall
receive the benefit of his dying — a place in the commonwealth!" 
In that, he somewhat observed that ancient reservation
— "say nothing about the dead, but something good."
In the discussions going on in the second "Grand Debate" in
congress around that much talked and written of, "Bricker Amendment" 
it is to be regretted that many well meaning commentators
hove not found means to be more modest in their references to
the late Senator Robert Alfonso Taft and his Doctrine of Isolationism. 
In reading Washington's celebrated "Farewell Address as
well as the Monroe Doctrine, one finds Unmistakable admonitions
of adherence to the principles of Isolation. At that time men of
that very generation had seen not only a war, but had observed
otherwise bitter experiences with the mother country; at that time
nobody thought of a great America of invention, trade and commerce, 
bulging at the sides for world trade and the employment
of millions not anticipated; nobody thought that at Kitty Hawk,
North Carolina would "come down from heaven" a second table
of stones, making the far islands of the seas and the continents
beyond — a frontier of a young country that had conceived liberty
and protection barriers in four large ocean bodies of water; nobody 
thought that through that prophesy the earth itself would
be put on a ninety-hour proximity with other scientific experiments
being made to lessen that time.
Every great doctrine by its vigorous pronouncements, is
bound to leave for centuries indentures that would lay heavily
upon some minds the weight of their impacts.
Robert Alfonso Taft was one of the honest politicians who
belonged in many respects to that school. As passing ages advance 
and the evidences of liberalism upset schools of thought
and practices, with them in time's process, the obstinate disciples
also pass. In that let more tolerant curtains fall upon those who
think as Taft thought and new curtains of the glaring age rise
before new audiences who conceive the fallacy of an attempt to
live in an antiquated past of isolation and segregation.
Senator John W. Bricker, (and the given name might be for
John Wesley, the hero Algersgate) was for years in Taft's understudy. 
He was junior Senator from Ohio, the Buckeye State that
gave to us, Garfield, McKiniey, William H. Taft and Warren Gamalial 
Harding.
Doubtless he will experience in his Amendment scuffle that
he faces a new America, an America that trusts its presidents and
acknowledges every day that neither isolation nor segregation can
be counter-parts in any implement designed to weather the storms
fast gathering on the great horizon of Equality and Peace.

IN THE NATION'S CAPITOL
The Bricker amendment, or any
compromise acceptable to its sponsor, 
Senator John W. Bricker, Republican, 
of Ohio, is aimed at curbing 
the advancement of civil rights
in the United States.
This proposal would amend the
Constitution of the United States
to:
1. Render void any treaty, or provision 
of a treaty, which conflicts
with the United States Constitution. 

3. Prevent the Congress of the
United States from acquiring legislative 
power under a treaty which
it does not otherwise possess under
the Constitution.
4. Subject executive and other
agreements to regulation by the
Congress and to the limitations imposed 
on the making of treaties.
The man argument advanced in
favor of the amendment is that it is
necessary td prevent treaties from
overriding the Constitution.
The agitation to restrict the
treaty-making power of the Federal 
Government did not arise until
after the United Nations Charter
was ratified by the United States
in 1945. The vote for ratification
was 89 to 2.
The UN Charter is a treaty. The
United States Constitution states
that Constitution, the laws of the
United States and treaties made under 
the authority of the United
States shall all be the supreme law
of the land.
Decisions of the United States
Supreme Court make it clear that
the Constitution is supreme over
laws and treaties. The court has
held that the treaty-making power
"does not extend as far as to authorize 
what the Constitution forbids." 

The most important obligation of
a member state of the United Nations, 
under the charter, is to cooperate 
with the UN to maintain
peace and carry through its purposes. 

The provisions of the charter
which have provoked the controversy 
over amending the United
States Constitution are Articles 55
and 56.
By these articles all members

pledge themselves to take joint and
separate action in cooperation with
the United Nations to promote,
among other things, universal respect 
for, and observance of, human
rights and fundamental freedoms
for all, without distinction as to
race, sex, language, or religion.
Proponents of the proposed
amendment argue that Articles 55
and 56 of the UN Charter have conferred 
on Congress the unlimited
power to legislation on the subject
of civil, political, economic, social,
and cultural rights.
Pears that treaties would encroach
upon the rights of individual states
were aroused by the genocide convention 
and the covenants on human 
rights.
The genocide convention, adopted
by the UN General Assembly in
Paris on December 9, 1948, was designed 
to prevent and punish the
crime of genocide.
The crime of genocide is the deliberate 
attempt to exterminate entire 
groups of human beings because 
of their race, religion, nationality, 
or ethnic origin.
The genocide convention, which
President Truman submitted to the
Senate on June 16, 1949, has never
been ratified. Opponents of the
convention raised the question of
Federal invasion of the states. They
argued that it could be applied to
lynchings.
Although the proposed covenant
on human rights is consistent with
the Constitution of the United
States, President Eisenhower has
decided not to submit it for Senate
ratification.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles was blunt in stating that the
United States does not consider the
treaty-making power as the best
means of promoting human rights,
and that the administration does
not contemplate submitting the human 
rights covenant for Senate ratification. 

These is no need to change the
Constitution to give all forty-eight
states a veto power over treaties
promoting human rights.
Treaties proposed by the United
Nations must be ratified like other
treaties. The President is free to

decide whether he wishes to submit 
any treaty to the Senate. Moreover, 
two-thirds of the Senate would
not likely ratify a treaty containing 
civil rights provisions for which
they would not vote to make Federal 
law if they were offered in a
simple bill.

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
By WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor, Atlanta Daily World.
"I have spent weeks in this country," the young Englishman
said, "looking for some of the worst in social conditions. For
some reason", he added "I have been more impressed than discouraged 
with improvements."
At the time, we were riding along one of the recently improved 
streets in a large Southern city. Trying to be a good host,
I struggled to show my guest every possible courtesy, even though
at times, situations became embarrassing.
I recall the time he demanded that I stop the car while he
took a picture of a rapidly changing slum area. It was alright to
get the picture, but I had to explain to the people nearby that my
guest meant no harm and that he was merely getting something
for the record.
He went away with the feeling that Negroes should not mind
being photographed while living in the slums, being clubbed by
a policeman or being dragged about during a race riot. He was
so far out of touch with social change that he still believed the
15,000,000 Negroes in this country lived in slums, did not go to
the polls to vote or exercise any privilege of civil rights. Many
people are dead wrong in this regard. Time has brought about
vast changes, even during the past decade.
During the observance of Negro History Week, February 714, 
it is hoped that as much emphasis be placed on the achievements 
of the Negro as on non-achievements. The fact that a lot
is yet to be achieved should not be overlooked. For each decade
brings about vast differences in the status and position of minorities 
everywhere. Those who have faith and belief in the human
family know this. It may be said that faith is one thing that has
brought us even this far.
When F. L. Olmstead, historian came to the South more than
a hundred years ago, like the Englishman, he was looking for the
worst. But even then, there were hopes on the part of the more
enlightened that some day the slaves would be free. There was
also hope that these same slaves would eventually rise and become 
assimilated within the stream of the population.
Olmstead was suppressed in many respects, not because of
prevailing conditions among the slaves at the time, but mostly because 
these people showed signs of rising above their environment 
despite these conditions. And the pace continues.
Largely through their own efforts, Negroes have achieved
great gains. With all other groups in the nation, they are enjoying 
higher living standards. They live in better homes and educational 
standards are being raised. Despite opposition in some
areas, fantastic changes have been brought about and should be
pointed out during this week of celebration.
It is true that our gains are far from satisfying. But they
demonstrate the strength inherent in the forces of decency and
democracy.
Like Olmstead, the historian and the young Englishman,
many more people will be looking for the bad side of racial progress 
instead of the good. It should be our duty to surprise them
with examples of what has been achieved despite conditions.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT,
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, MEMPHIS

If we are honest with ourselves
we will have to admit that there
have been many times in our lives
when we have been "looking for
Green Pastures." We have thought
so often that the grass in other
pastures was greener than the graas
in our pasture. There have been
times when we thought that all
was perfect with us but our pasture 
was poor. Times when we
thought we were all right, but the
other people were all wrong. If we
could only change other people
our pasture would be green.
Many of us blame the field for
the lack of green grass. We think
the trouble is with our job, our
boss, our fellow workers, our emplyes. 

The doctor looks over the fence
and sees the school teacher. He
thinks a doctor has such a hard
time. No vacation— Calls in the
middle of the night—Long Labor
cases, et cetera—He might be
quoted, "If I had only been a
school teacher, I would have three
months vacation, no work on Saturdays." 

The school teacher says "If I
had only been a doctor, just think
of the money I would be making.
My salary is so small teaching
school." Another looks at the
preacher.—"If I had only been a
preacher, I would simply work a
few hours on Sundays, eat chicken
—Be showered with gifts! The
house wife looks over the fence
and cries "If I had only remained
single. Better be an old maid than
bear the burdens of a housewife."
We, too, look at other people
and think they are completely
wrong. The husband complains I"If
my wife didn't nag me so much, if
my wife didn't spend so much, my
pasture would be green. The wife

complains "If my husband would
stay at home at night, If my husand 
wasn't so stingy, my pasture
would be green."
We tend to find the thing that is
wrong with life is not in ourselves
but in the pasture—in other people. 
But we have learned at last
that there "ain't no green pastures." 
All pastures have barren
spots—cockleburrs— weeds-beggar
licer.
Paul knew this—in writing to
Philippian Christians he wrote
"I have learned, in whatsoever
state I am, therewith to be content." 
Paul had a hard time—
beaten— ship-wrecked —in prison
— persecuted— hounded. Yet he
could say the words of our text.
What Paul meant was this: The
outward circumstances can never
determine whether the grass is going 
to be green or not. It is from
within. It may be we are happier
than a millionaire. It is what is on
the inside of us that derermines
whether life is sweet, beautiful
and pleasant. The inside determines 
the greenness of the pasture. 
We are bigger on the inside
of us than anything on the outside. 

Paul said "I have learned in what
soever state I am, there with to be
content." But he doesn't stop here
To stop there is incomplete: so he
writes on and says, "I can do all
things through Christ who
strengthens me."
In other words "in Christ, I am
ready for anything." God, through
Jesus Christ, will never let us
down. This is the strength of
Christian faith, Christian confidence. 

Jesus will never let us down. HE
has said "Lo, I am with you always." 

Put your faith in Jesus the
Christ and you will find green
pastures beneath the snow and ice
— green pastures on this side of
the River Jordan, and everlasting
green pastures on the other side
of Jordan "where the wicked shall
cease from troubling and the
weary will be at rest,"
Broader aid to Latin-America
becomes U. S. Policy.
Industry is urged to emphasize
peacetime production.

The Quest

OUT IN the cab, Dale had not
stirred. Phil gave the address of
his apartment on Twelfth Street,
lit a cigaret and sat forward on
the seat, his body angled so that
he could study Dale without blowing 
smoke in her face.
Beautiful, he thought. That patrician 
look came of good bones
and couldn't be faked by make-up.
A childish shadow of thick dark
lashes on her cheeks. A forehead
modeled like an early Rodin. A
sweet, soft, sad red mouth.
Why did I let her drink all those
drinks? he asked himself, not particularly 
proud of his part in this
denouement. Obviously she hadn't
been aware, and he had kept on
signating the waiter, with some
fool notion that she needed desperately 
to talk, and that if she
stopped holding a glass in her
hand, she would stop talking.
His glance on her became uncertain. 
From the way she had
spoken of the man called Kelly,
there was no doubt in Phil's mind
that she had loved him and that
theirs had been one of those marriages 
everyone hopes for when
he says, "From this day forward."
Phil Parrish was not entirely
skeptical about marriage, but he
was wary of personal involvement
He'd seen too many that didn't
take, and at twenty-seven, heartfree 
and intelligent, he had some
fairly set ideas about what be
wanted and did not Want. The
number of times he had been merrily 
in and out of love was proof
of his susceptibility to good looks
in a woman, and vivacity, and a
sense of humor. But be liked his
girls sophisticated. Certainly not
one from the sticks who couldn't
— Hey, hold on there! he cautioned
himself, and involuntarily he
grinned.
Calling her name, as the taxi
driver pulled up in front of his
apartment, did not waken Dale.
Well, he could carry her in. A
hundred pounds, about.
With Dale in his arms, it was
difficult to get al his door key.

He stuck, his elbow on the buzzer
and pressed. Mrs. Cable, who came
twice a week to "do" for him and
Don, answered his ring. It amused
Phil profoundly that the taxi
driver did not drive off until Mrs.
Cable's gaunt, aproned, and unquestionably 
respectable figure
loomed in the doorway.
She stepped aside reluctantly to
let him in "Who's that you've got
there?"
He looked down at Dale as if
he had just this minute discovered
her in his arms, and then he looked
Mrs. Cable straight in the eye.
"My sister," he said, with an expression 
of stand innocence
"Fainting spell Shove a couple of
pillows up to this end of the couch,
will you, Mrs. Cable? There."
He put Dale carefully down and
flexed his arms.
Mrs. Cable gave Dale's skirt a
self conscious tug down. "Your
sister," she said firmly, "has yellow 
hair same as yours. And it
just happens I read in the paper
that she's in Mexico City."
"The miracle," Phil murmured,
"of modern transportation."
"What are you up to, Mr. Parrish?" 

He patted net shoulder. "Nice
girls," he said, "don't pry."
She bunched net mouth and
sniffed audibly as she untied her
apron strings, "Well." sue said,
taking her coat from a hanger,
'I am oft. There's a Bavarian cream
in the refrigerator and a macarom 
casserole in the oven."
The taking of liberties with her
aspirates was a sign of stress in
Mrs. Cable Phil gave her another
friendly pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Mrs. Cable You're a
good egg."
"H'mph," she said. She looked
down at Dale and saw her wedding 
ring "Married, is she?
Where's her husband?"
"Her husband," said Phil Parrish. 
"is dead?"
Mrs. Cable stood in the doorway
drawing on net gloves. "She's too
young to be a wow," she said,
and added sternly, "And much too
pretty."
Her tone, lingering in the room
after her departure, accused Phil
Parrisn in a roundabout way of being 
answerable for her looks, her
widowhood, and net disgraceful
state of insobriety.
Phil took a tartan car rug from
a closet and drew it over Dale.
Whistling, he went out to the
kitchen. Macaroni casserole. Went
fortified with steak. It would do
Don didn't mind the milky dishes
Mrs. Cable was forever preparing
for them. Halt the time Lion had
no idea What he was eating any

way. Me, Phil thought, I'm a
steak man.
The kitchen was filled with savory 
odors when the front door
opened and closed. "Hi," Don
sang out "When do we eat? I
worked right through my lunch
hour—" His voice was scissored
off in mid-air.
Phil grinned inwardly and
strolled to the living-room door.
Don Parrish, half in and half
out of his coat, was stock-still in
the middle of the room. Rather
heavier than Phil, but unmistakably 
his brother. He was staring
at Dale. "What's this?" he asked.
Phil grinned "Who, not what,"
he murmured.
Don dropped his coat on a chair.
"What's she doing here? Sick,
or—"
"Or," said Phil cheerfully. "Now,
don't tie the wrong tag on her,
Don. This is my fault."
"For the love of Mike, why"d
you bring her here?"
"I couldn't just dump her on a
park bench, could I? She went to
sleep before I found out where she
lived."
"What's her name?"
"Dale "Fraser."
"Wake her up, can't you?"
Phil strolled back to the kitchen
and turned the heat off under the
steak. "Oh, let her sleep," he said.
"Maybe she's having a sweet
dream. Maybe she's somewhere
with a man called Kelly. Her husband, 
dead."
"That so?" Don came out to the
kitchen and hung his jacket on a
chair by the armholes. "The Cable
see her?"
"And now!"
Don Parrish frowned. "Pity.
She'll talk."
"Who to?" asked Phil airily.
"And what if she does? Relax,
son. When we've eaten, I'll wake
her up, find out where she lives,
and deliver her there."
"You're taking Aunt Aggie to
the theatre tonight, don't forget."
"So I am. Well, you can see
Dale home." He shoved two chairs
into place at the cable, and scowled.
"On second thought,  take
Aggie to the theatre and I'll look
after Dale."
"Just have her out of here when
I get home," Don grumbled amiably. 
"After all, the girl's got a
reputation to uphold. She can't
spend the night here."
"That's so," agreed Phil evenly.
"Of course, if we can't budge her,
you and I can always bunk in
with Aggie...By—the way, better
stick to facts about the switch in
escorts. Aggie'll worm the truth
out or you anyway."

"Fainting spell Shove a couple of
pillows up to this end of the couch,
will you, Mrs. Cable? There."
He put Dale carefully down and
flexed his arms.
Mrs. Cable gave Dale's skirt a
self conscious tug down. "Your
sister," she said firmly, "has yellow 
hair same as yours. And it
just happens I read in the paper
that she's in Mexico City."
"The miracle," Phil murmured,
"of modern transportation."
"What are you up to, Mr. Parrish?" 

He patted net shoulder. "Nice
girls," he said, "don't pry."
She bunched net mouth and
sniffed audibly as she untied her
apron strings, "Well." sue said,
taking her coat from a hanger,
'I am oft. There's a Bavarian cream
in the refrigerator and a macarom 
casserole in the oven."
The taking of liberties with her
aspirates was a sign of stress in
Mrs. Cable Phil gave her another
friendly pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Mrs. Cable You're a
good egg."
"H'mph," she said. She looked
down at Dale and saw her wedding 
ring "Married, is she?
Where's her husband?"
"Her husband," said Phil Parrish. 
"is dead?"
Mrs. Cable stood in the doorway
drawing on net gloves. "She's too
young to be a wow," she said,
and added sternly, "And much too
pretty."
Her tone, lingering in the room
after her departure, accused Phil
Parrisn in a roundabout way of being 
answerable for her looks, her
widowhood, and net disgraceful
state of insobriety.
Phil took a tartan car rug from
a closet and drew it over Dale.
Whistling, he went out to the
kitchen. Macaroni casserole. Went
fortified with steak. It would do
Don didn't mind the milky dishes
Mrs. Cable was forever preparing
for them. Halt the time Lion had
no idea What he was eating any

way. Me, Phil thought, I'm a
steak man.
The kitchen was filled with savory 
odors when the front door
opened and closed. "Hi," Don
sang out "When do we eat? I
worked right through my lunch
hour—" His voice was scissored
off in mid-air.
Phil grinned inwardly and
strolled to the living-room door.
Don Parrish, half in and half
out of his coat, was stock-still in
the middle of the room. Rather
heavier than Phil, but unmistakably 
his brother. He was staring
at Dale. "What's this?" he asked.
Phil grinned "Who, not what,"
he murmured.
Don dropped his coat on a chair.
"What's she doing here? Sick,
or—"
"Or," said Phil cheerfully. "Now,
don't tie the wrong tag on her,
Don. This is my fault."
"For the love of Mike, why"d
you bring her here?"
"I couldn't just dump her on a
park bench, could I? She went to
sleep before I found out where she
lived."
"What's her name?"
"Dale "Fraser."
"Wake her up, can't you?"
Phil strolled back to the kitchen
and turned the heat off under the
steak. "Oh, let her sleep," he said.
"Maybe she's having a sweet
dream. Maybe she's somewhere
with a man called Kelly. Her husband, 
dead."
"That so?" Don came out to the
kitchen and hung his jacket on a
chair by the armholes. "The Cable
see her?"
"And now!"
Don Parrish frowned. "Pity.
She'll talk."
"Who to?" asked Phil airily.
"And what if she does? Relax,
son. When we've eaten, I'll wake
her up, find out where she lives,
and deliver her there."
"You're taking Aunt Aggie to
the theatre tonight, don't forget."
"So I am. Well, you can see
Dale home." He shoved two chairs
into place at the cable, and scowled.
"On second thought,  take
Aggie to the theatre and I'll look
after Dale."
"Just have her out of here when
I get home," Don grumbled amiably. 
"After all, the girl's got a
reputation to uphold. She can't
spend the night here."
"That's so," agreed Phil evenly.
"Of course, if we can't budge her,
you and I can always bunk in
with Aggie...By—the way, better
stick to facts about the switch in
escorts. Aggie'll worm the truth
out or you anyway."

OUT IN the cab, Dale had not
stirred. Phil gave the address of
his apartment on Twelfth Street,
lit a cigaret and sat forward on
the seat, his body angled so that
he could study Dale without blowing 
smoke in her face.
Beautiful, he thought. That patrician 
look came of good bones
and couldn't be faked by make-up.
A childish shadow of thick dark
lashes on her cheeks. A forehead
modeled like an early Rodin. A
sweet, soft, sad red mouth.
Why did I let her drink all those
drinks? he asked himself, not particularly 
proud of his part in this
denouement. Obviously she hadn't
been aware, and he had kept on
signating the waiter, with some
fool notion that she needed desperately 
to talk, and that if she
stopped holding a glass in her
hand, she would stop talking.
His glance on her became uncertain. 
From the way she had
spoken of the man called Kelly,
there was no doubt in Phil's mind
that she had loved him and that
theirs had been one of those marriages 
everyone hopes for when
he says, "From this day forward."
Phil Parrish was not entirely
skeptical about marriage, but he
was wary of personal involvement
He'd seen too many that didn't
take, and at twenty-seven, heartfree 
and intelligent, he had some
fairly set ideas about what be
wanted and did not Want. The
number of times he had been merrily 
in and out of love was proof
of his susceptibility to good looks
in a woman, and vivacity, and a
sense of humor. But be liked his
girls sophisticated. Certainly not
one from the sticks who couldn't
— Hey, hold on there! he cautioned
himself, and involuntarily he
grinned.
Calling her name, as the taxi
driver pulled up in front of his
apartment, did not waken Dale.
Well, he could carry her in. A
hundred pounds, about.
With Dale in his arms, it was
difficult to get al his door key.

He stuck, his elbow on the buzzer
and pressed. Mrs. Cable, who came
twice a week to "do" for him and
Don, answered his ring. It amused
Phil profoundly that the taxi
driver did not drive off until Mrs.
Cable's gaunt, aproned, and unquestionably 
respectable figure
loomed in the doorway.
She stepped aside reluctantly to
let him in "Who's that you've got
there?"
He looked down at Dale as if
he had just this minute discovered
her in his arms, and then he looked
Mrs. Cable straight in the eye.
"My sister," he said, with an expression 
of stand innocence
"Fainting spell Shove a couple of
pillows up to this end of the couch,
will you, Mrs. Cable? There."
He put Dale carefully down and
flexed his arms.
Mrs. Cable gave Dale's skirt a
self conscious tug down. "Your

A very exciting football season recently 
ended. Upsets were more and
more the outcome of games of this
strenuous sport. Saturday after Saturday 
we read of supposedly superior 
teams being downed by mediocre
and less favored teams and a fumbled 
football is too invariably the
explanation. The team that fumbles
is at a great disadvantage in competition 
with one that holds on to
the ball.
There are fumbles in other ga
than football. In the great game of
Politics when a fellow has the opportunity 
to choose sides and chooses 
the losing side, he patently fumbles 
politically. In international affairs 
there are evidences of fumbling 
by our diplomats and statesmen. 

The credit and glory of Britain
are that British statesmen never
fumble! When a Briton gets the diplomatic 
ball, as he invariably does,
he hangs on to it for dear life. For
sheer statesmanship great Old Winnie 
Churchill has no equal today;
and beside him our ablest diplomats
are more amateurs and pikers. It
is always safe to look into the Britons' 
pockets for the chips after a
game of international political poker. 

This column is intended to call
attention to an international situation, 
which evidently shows that
in our foreign relations somebody
has fumbled badly in holding the
front against communism.
After World War I, Germ

But the serious thing is we have
utterly failed, thereby to reduce the
dangers of communism. France
seems ripening for the communist

France will desert us by and by.
Only recently fear was expressed
that Tito may backslide and realign 
his Yugoslavia with Russia

fumbled in this serious matter of

It is from Italy that the fatal

In a recent issue of This Week,
Henry J. Taylor, author, economist
and ABC commentator, pre
that "Italy Is Going Communist."
Says he, "We have spent $3,500,000,000 
in aid to Italy since the war.
Russia has not spent a nickle. We
are spending there this year $320,000,000 
in economic and militaty
aid. Russia isn't spending a nickel.
Yet our American ambassador
makes a mild speech in Milan suggesting 
that Italians support proAmerican 
politicians against Communism 
in consideration of that aid,
and the roof blows off in Italy!
Somebody in high places is fumbling. 
When Russia is getting without 
price what we are paying dearly
for, it is time that we were getting 
to the bottom of the fact as
to who is fumbling, and why.
When we see the seeming indifference

wells up for an answer to the
charge that the Negro intellectual
is fumbling a great opportunity to
take seriously the implications of
the Bricker amendment.
The object of the Bricker
amendment is to free the United
States from any limitations from
the UN which might restrain this
country in its anti-Negro attitudes.
The fact that this amendment was
offered by Bricker, the bed-fellow
and protege of the late reactionary
Robert Taft, whose whole life was
dedicated to helping the South in
its efforts to keep the Negro in his
place is significant.
