Leaders O. K. By Us
We are not familiar with the merits of the case of the government against the Socialist Workers Party, but we do know that many of its leaders have repeatedly attacked the enemies of the colored people in this area.
With developments in this case and the all-out labor war between factions occurring so rapidly the general public has not had an opportunity to get at the real basis for the indictments voted by the Federal grand jury.
The Socialist Workers Party might be proven to be a wolf in sheep's clothing but most of its campaigns on public measures have been open as far as we have seen. Our faith in most political parties is limited. We still have faith in democracy working and are not interested in "the revolution."
We cannot, however, deny that members of the S.W.P. and its leadership or at least many of those named in the indictments have fought anti-Negro programs and racial bigotry wherever they found it. That's enough for us to hope the charges upon which they have been indicted are proven false and that they will be acquitted.
