Deploring tie political corrup-
tion in this country existing under
a two-parity system in which both.
parties are virtually the some and
bot~h conservatlve, Howard Y. Wil-
liams, secretary of the League for
Independent. Political Action, point-
ed out in a talk delivered before3
the Round Table club in the Worn-
eills League yesterday, the crying
need for a vital political party of'
opposition.
"Critical constructive opposition,"
Mr. Williams contends, "is our-
greatest need. A conflict of ideas
is the prime prerequisite to prog-
ress, and in the United States,
where- the Democrats do not have a
single fundamental economic issue
to distinguish them from the Re-
publicans, advancement in politics
under such conditions cannot be
made.
Mr. Williams is convinced that
we cannot achieve a conflict of
ideas by capturing the, machinery
of either of the present political
parties as both parties, l4e declares,
are so completely under theE sinis-
ter control of big business interests.
As a solution, Mr. Williams pro-
posed the desirability of a new po-
litical alignment, one based on. the
realities of American ,life, using
progressive, ideas, and ever striv-
ing towards an ideal civilization.
By using politics in a creative fash-
ion, he contends, unemployment
could be eliminated, poverty blot-
ted out, laborers protected in their,
right to collective bargaining, the
farmers relieved of an oppressive
high protective tariff and interna-.
tional goodwill maintained. The
policies of such a system of gov-
ernment, according to Mr. Wil-
liams, would embrace the granting
of independence to the Philip-
pines, the recognition of Russia,
the opening of much greater op-
portunities to Negroes for the use
of their talents, the recalling of
marines from the Carribean area
and a real reduction in armaments.
The program of the League of
Independent Political Action, as
outlined by the speaker, has three,
functions relative to establishing
a new political party. "It actsy"i
says Mr. Williams, "as a coordinat-
ing agency for the various progres-
sive groups which are to affiliate.
Secondly,, it will carry on a tre-
mendous campaign of public edu-I
cation,: so that the country may,
see the facts in their true light.
thirdly, it advocates aand assists
men and women going into poli-
tics,''
