Negro Editor Blames Truman For Conflict Between The Races By DAVIS LEE. Publisher A glance at the Negro week lies and the white dailies of this nation gives one the creeps. You begin to wonder what has actually happened in our na tion. The editorial columns are ladened with pro and con opinions on the race issue. The news columns bristle with re ports of socratic legal skirm ishes by Negroes to acquire new rights. One begins to wonder what has happened to our way of life. What or who inspired this mass action, who or what engineered this wave of racial bitterness, resentment and un rest? An undercurrent of sus picion and distrust has swept over the nation like a hurri cane. Negroes and whites seem to have lost faith in one an other. A cold race war seems to be in the offering. An analysis of this move ment reveals that is not con fined to the United States— it is universal. In spite of the fact that the dark races of the world are in the ma jority, they have been oppress ed exploited and ruled by a minority people—.white. This universal bitterness and resentment against the white people has been nurtured for centuries, and these smolder ing embers of racial discon tent and unrest were fanned into an i.pen blaze in the mid- dile of the Atlantic Ocean in 1941 when our late President and Winston Churchill an nounced the Atlantic Charter. The oppressed and exploited dark peojfle of the entire world seized this announcement as a signal to shake loose the shack les of oppression. The sun of freedom, of liberty, shone brightly over the dark horizon. India demanded her freedom from England. The dark peo pies were willing to join the Democracies in the _ war against Hitlerism in exchange for the four freedoms. The late President’s F.E.P.C. program convinced the Negroes of America that he meant what he said in the Atlantic Char-, ter about the four freedoms. Freedom! The cry of free dom became a global chant. The Negroes in the United States decided that this was their opportunity — that they had nothing to lose by joining in the movement. Propaganda organizations like the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People began to expose injustices and ine qualities. Negroes who were living * peacefully and doing all right in their respective com munities became hostile and dissatisfied over night. Every attempt was made to embarrass our Government be fore the world. In a lengthy document to the UN, propagan da organizations pictured the United States as a hypocrite, trying to democratize the world while the minorities living within its own borders were denied the most simple rights and privileges. Labor Unions, churches— every conceivable group and organization joined in this cho rus for freeddom. The slight est racial incident was magnL fied, and used as propaganda. However, the American wing of the global race movement did not gather much moment um until the National Associa tion of the Advancement of Colored People sold President Truman that Civil Rights pro gram. Just why the President didn’t foresee the consequences, is not understandable. Strangely enough not one sane American has stopped to consider the origin of all this agitation. It apparently hasn’t dawned on any of us that we are fostering Russia’s program of divide and conquer. No am ount of out right Communistic propaganda would have ac complished more for the Rus sian cause than has been ac complished by us. No one would dare link our president with Communism, but sbmeone sold him a Com munist inspired scheme that has definitely divided our peo ple. Sure. I am fol* everything for my people that President Truman and the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People has advocat ed, but I am not silly enough to believe that it can be ac complished by legislation. Nei ther the Negroes or the whites of this nation are ready or prepared for such drastic changes. Unfortunately, Negroes are governed by emotion instead of reason. The American Negro, contrary to current beliefs and expressions, has everything to lose and nothing to gain by going along with this move ment to set up an interracial utopia. A definite program of edu cation for both Negroes and whites will have to be initiated. While there is plenty of race prejudice in our nation, both North and South, against the Negro, there is more sympathy for him. There is positively more sympathy and real af fection for the Negro in the south than you will find any where else in tflis nation. Instead of becoming antagon istic and joining with subver sive and radical forces in mak ing unreasonable demands, the Negro needs to learn how to harness this sympathy and use it as a wedge of opportunity. We need a program of good will designed to make friends even out of our alleged- e n_ emies. The Negro needs to shun every organization and every individual who advocates force or pressure in his behalf. He needs to apply reason and com mon sense instead 1 of yielding ' to emotion and rabble rousing. There is no right or privi lege, that we as a race want or desire, that we cannot have if w e would employ tact, in telligence and diplomacy to obtain. The Negro leaders of this nation have been grossly misled. Despite all of the existence of admitted preju dice against us in ♦he South, the southern white man is still our friend, and he will bend over backwards to help the Negro, if .he is worthy.
