A Strange Business

ll might be thought that the

United States would he one nf the easiest countries in the world for the proponents of Civil Rights legisla- tion to have their way. But it isn't.

In fact. ,l'car after year. for as long

as one can remember. efforts have been made to pass such legislation into law: and year after year they

i. have failed. This year, owing to the fact that Civil Rights occupied a prominent place in both the Repub- lican and Democratic manifesios in last fall's election. it was thought that the legislation would have T'FRK-

i onably plain sailing. But it has been argued back and forth in committee

4 ever since Congress convened in Janliary. and it seems as far away

from enactment as at or.

The whole issue rests on the simple question: Should the Negroes of the South be entitled to vote and have lcgal protection against intimi- dation? Most legislators from Snu- thern States. Republicans and Dcmo- crats allke (most of them are Demo- crats) say "no". And most of the Congressional Committees. Including the one on this issue. are more or less controlled by Southern Demo- crats.

It is a strange business-m or so It must seem to outsiders W that at a time when the United Sfatcsiis

, pleading in behalf of civil rights for ll l-Sui-opcana. Aalatlcs and Africans. it bill to provide them for thousands of its own citizens cannot seem to make much progress.

At the time the London report did not seem to make sense. lnnasmuch as the Klanls anti-Catholic, anti- Npgm, anti-Jewish and generally anti-social attitude is so foreign to Britain's social traditions and sense of justice. It is good to bear now from reliable sources that the report was unfounded. Sir Hugh Stephen- son, on his arrival in New York to take up his post as British Consul- General. described the whole thing as a "hoax". Mr. 1.. (l. Glass, tlw npw ('nnsul-Gcncrl-ll in Washington. who arrived by the same ship, sup- ported Sir Hugh's statement fully. All of which is pleasant-sounding. reassuring and not unexpected nous.
