Remember that there will be a day of reckoning when we shall have to answer to God for our actions. Prejudice will not help us then. We cannot ask men. white and black. to lay down their lives. if necessary. on the altar of democracy and then when the war is won. say to them. "We didnt mean you. we meant only white men. only Americans of several generations. not naturalized Americans. not Jews." Why has the Rules Committee refused to give another committee of the House the privilege it is entitled to to bring a bill. almost unanimously reported. to the House. the right to have it debated by the membership of the House? Is that democracy? What kind of democracy?
