Editor’s Views On
Desegregation Are
Given In Harpers
The real reasons that most
Southerners are 'against school
desegregation were laid before
the nation today for the first
time by a prominent Southern
newspaper editor in the January
issue of Harper’s magazine.
Thomas It. Waring, editor of
the Charleston News and Courier,
writes the frank expression of
Southern sentiment — a report
which, he charges, the Northern-
controlled press lias never pub
lished before.
The Charleston editor accuses
national news magazines and
metropolitan newspapers of aban
doning "fair and objective report-
in of the race story." He says
their “one-sided" reports frequent
ly substitute propaganda for the
facts.
Harper's magazine is the first
national periodical to present the
Southern viewpoint In full. Its
editors said the article ought to
be widely read, although it does
not express their point of view.
Waring, in his article, warns
Northern readers at the outset
that they m.ay be “infuriated by
It. But, he adds, Southerners also
have been “outraged" by the In
terpretation the Northern press
has given to. the desegregation
problem.
He lists five differences In the
Negro and white races which, he
says, do not encourage white par
ents to permit their children to
mingle freely with Negro children
in school:
1. Health. "The incidence of
venereal disease, for instance, is
much greater among negroes than
among whites . . . Fastidious pa-
ents do not farvor joint use of
school washrooms when they
would not permit It at home—and
there’s no use to tell them that
it is unlikely that anyone will
catch venereal disease from a
toilet seat. They just don’t want
to take risks of any kind with
their children."
2. Home Environment. “F o r
most colored children in the
South the cultural background is
different in many ways from that
of their white neighbors— and
while these differences may have
various explanations, they add up
in the public's mind as racial.
Slavery is so long in the past that
nobody thinks about it any more,
but the master and servant, or
boss and laborer, relationship be
tween whites and Negroes Is still
the rule rather than the excep-
tion."
3. Marital habits. “On the av«
erage one Southern Negro child
in five is illegitimate . . . Many
white persons believe that mor
als among their own race are
lax enough as it is without ex
posing their children to an even
more primitive view of sex hab
its."
4. Crime. "F'or many years^
crime in the South has been more
prevalent among Negroes than
atjiong whites. With racial bars
and rowdies of both races daring
one another to make something
of the vast increase in daily con
tacts, opportunities fo^ Interrac
ial strife are frightening. Conser
vative, law-abiding people—a n d
believe it or not, they constitute
the bulk of Southern whites—are
deeply fearful that hatred and
bloodshed would increase without
separation of the races."
6. Intellectual development. " .
. . .Southern Negroes usually are
below the intellectual level o t
their white counterpar ts .. .
Some advocates of integration
say the way to cure these differ
ences Is to let the children mingle
so that the Negroes will learn
from the whites. The trouble with
this theory is that even if it works
a single generation of white child
ren will bear the brunt of the
load. While they are rubbing off
white civilization onto the colored
children, Negro culture will aiso
rub off onto the whites."
