There were two speakers at the meeting. The first, W. R. Taylor '36, presented a detailed account of the trial of the nine Scottsboro boys accused of rape, and pointed out the miscarriage of justice due to racial prejudice. Petitions for their immediate and unconditional pardon were passed to the listeners...
While criticism of the Southern courts is not to be scorned, the intensity of racial feeling in the region of the black belt precludes any solution which the northern reformers have to offer. Judge Lowell and the exponents of open-eyed justice seem to forget, like the Republicans of the Reconstruction Era, that race feeling by no means applies to whites alone. On this issue, no compromise is possible.

He was concerned, it is true, primarily with the warfare of classes whose division was on economic bases, but his judgment is obviously capable of racial interpretation also, and his definition clearly implies that the existence of the state is incompatible with the conciliation of that class warfare; an inference which he did not neglect to elaborate. Mr. Hitler's state is simply the instrument of suppression serving the ends of a reactionary and racially religious class. The Turkish government, which has summarily placed...
