"One man with courage makes a majority."

- ANDREW JACKSON.

UNCLE SAM, spearheaded by President Harry S. Truman, is moving in on today's Dixiecrat dominated "Little Hitlers" who are making their last stand to disrupt the national peace and security of America by bombs, propaganda, and Rebel Flags.

These are the forces which Lincoln said could conquer America from within. Their doom is certain.

THE MIAMI, Cicero, and Detroit disgraces are all strongly linked to the vicious mob rule of Hitler, Talmadge, Malan, colonial concept of "skin-superiority," a last ditch fight to retain the dying embers of mass exploitation of peoples of different race, creed, or color. As in South Africa and Australia, the Dixiecrats face ultimate defeat.

COLORED AMERICANS ARE going to live anywhere in the South or any place else they can pay for. They are going to ride anywhere, eat anywhere and work anywhere, because God and not Rankin or Malan is going to have the final say in this matter. Mere men like Huey Long, Cotten Ed Smith, Bilbo, and Hitler, could not hold back the tide.

THE KLAN with its clever network of fake names and collaborators, including some syndicate boys, is riding high but due for a deep fall.

As JOE LOUIS once said, they can run but they can't hide. Seven mobsters of the Cicero crime, including three policemen have already been indicted. The federal bureaus today have men (including colored) who know and are in position to spot the hate-mongers both in the north and south.

WINSTON CHURCHILL is slated to be the guest of our President this week. Mr. Churchill in his visits with the late President Roosevelt had a similar mission to this country.

Basically it was a mission to help Britain carry her burdens.

Mr. Roosevelt surprised and even angered Mr. Churchill by suggesting that Britain grant freedoms to subject peoples. Mr. Churchill continued to advocate the colonial policy.

THE COLONIAL POLICY will be a major question in Mr. Churchill's current visit although the finance and military subjects will receive all the headlines. Nevertheless, Churchill, from past statements, would like either an English or Anglo-American colonial control of the Orient by various methods. Mr. Truman may demand greater freedoms for the peoples of Asia and Africa as he has done in Dixie.

HARRY T. MOORE, the Florida NAACP martyr, is therefore an American minority hero whose sacrifice is not just a one-race symbol of a minority's fight for freedom.

The American Harry T. Moore, has projected the question on a world wide basis as to whether a man can live in freedom not only in Florida, but in Capetown, So. Africa; Canberra, Australia; or Cicero, Illinois.

THE CLOCK is running out on the time in which the Western Powers must get their house in order. By a most fortunate circumstance, Mr. Churchill and Mr. Truman are in position to make domestic and world wide history. With Harry T. Moore as a symbol, the leaders of the foremost Western Powers can proclaim a joint program of equality and justice that could win the cold war.
