To the Editor: I agree wholeheart- edly with John M. Lees "Plain Talk" on our new worlds founda- tion of hatred and also the article by Harold Preece of ssThe Living
 South" I think that these two writers are holding and shaping public opinion and sentiment in the right direction.
 It is said that the mills of God grind slowly and they grind ex- ceedingly small, but they grind for every one. Sometime it seems that we are racing against time, but we really do have to lose bat ties in order to win battles, and we are not safe so long as God men compromise with evil man? It is very good to know that we have liberal-minded white people in the South who are proving themselves stalwart friends of ours and are willing to suffr that right might triumph, and try as we will we cannot bring peace in this world so long as hate, suspicion, and self ishness dominate the minds of men. And America, our country and no other nation, is not any stronger than our weakest link. It is an undeniabIe fact that the world owes a great debt to the Jews and also to the colored peo- pies of the earth.

Chairman, Denis W. Delaney of the Suffolk County Chapter for Infantile Paralysis calls attention to the established fact that August is usually the peak month for in- cidents of Infantile Paralysis. In- fantile has increased greatly in many sections of the country but happily this year has shown to date a fifty percent (50%) drop in the number of cases registered in Massachusetts.
 Mir. Delaney warns, however, that this should not give a false sense of security. There is never forwarning of an outbreak of Po- lio and it is very apt to spring up anywhere at any time. With such epidemics as has been prevalent in other communities attention should be focused on the precau- tions which parents should take to safeguard themselves and their children from serious attacks of the disease.
 These precautionary measures are simple and have proven to be effective:
 1. Avoid over-tiring and extreme fatigue from strenuous exercise.
 2. Avoid sudden chilling as would come from a plunge into extreme ly cold water on a very hot day.
 3. Keep flies away from food.
 4. Don't swim in polluted water.
 The symptoms of infantile par alysis are so confusing that they may be mistaken for other diseas- es or they may be so mild as to be

 Disinterestedness
 The tale which imperialism un- folds concerning it's acquisition of African territories is always be- logged with claims of disinte- restedness which cannot stand close scrutiny. Thus we are told that the British Empire was acquired in a fit of absentminded- ness. As if the intrigues of Cecil Rhodes and other freebooters, as disclosed by modern historical re- search, were undertaken without aforethought!
 We are told that the purpose of British imperialism, in the lan- guage of one of it's ablest mo- dern apologists, Sir Charles Lu- cas, were religion. colonizing, and trade - in that order. However, the truth is that, whether the territories were acquired by con- quest, by cession from another imperialist power, or by volun- tary annexation Gas when a na- tive ruler signed treaty with the Imperial Government under the influence of alcohol persuasively supplied), they were kept chiefly because it was profitable to keep them. They were kept as mar kets of investments for finance capital. Consequently, they have played in Africa, as in the West Indies, the chief economic role which colonies play during this epoch: they have existed as mar kets for the manufactured goods of the mother country ona prefe- rentia1 basis and as sources of raw materials obtained through the employment of cheap labor. Thus colonial industries do not exist in great numbers, lest they compete with those of the mother country. Native capitalist enter prise is discouraged even by le- gislative enactment. Factories manufacturing necessaries of life like clothing are not permitted. As result, transport, which de- pends so much on industry, lags and primitive methods of commun- ieation still persist, despite the needs as well as the desire of the native peoples for improvements which our modern industrial civil ization has achieved.

 Ouarrels at Casablanca, by Elliott Roosevelt (Look)
 Part II of MT. Rooseve1t's book
 is concerned with the conferences
 which took place at Casablanca
 an dthe underlying issues which had to be settled, or, at least, an obvious attempt made to resolve them. Among the pertinent ques- tions discussed by the author
 are: the American political blun- der in North Africa, the difficult ties between Giraud and De
 Gaulle, the dangers of the Dutch, British, and French colonial sys- tems as possible causes of World
 War III, and the route of attack on the European fortress of the Nazis, the invasion of Sicily and then the peninsula of Italy.
 Relative to colonies and the im- perialism of Europe, FDR had this to say: 'fThe British want to recapture Burma. Why? For
 their colonial empire! Hts all part of the British colonial ques- ton. Burma affects India, and French Indo-China and Indonesia- they're all interrelated. If one gets it's freedom, the others will get ideas. That's why Winston
 Churchill is so anxious to keep De Gaulle in his corner. De Gaulle isn't any more interested in see- ing a colonial empire disappear Churchill is." The solution of fered by FDR was the compul- sion of French reporting relative to the welfare of her subjects on yearly basis to an United Ma tions organization. In a conver- sation with the Sultan in North Africa, Roosevelt made the state ment: "Imperialists don't realize what they can do, what they can create! They've robbed this con- tinent (North Africa) of billions and all because they were too short-sighted to understand that their billions were pennies, com pared to the possibilities! Fossil bilities that must include a better life for the people who inhabit the land"
 President Roosevelt was appre- hensive about the relationship of European imperialism and future wars. This was evident in his statements: %Why does Morocco, inhabited by Moroccans, belong to France? By what logic and cus- tom and what historical rule? I'm talking about another war! Vm talking about what will hap pen to our world, if after this war we allow millions of people to slide back into semi-slavery. 1 Don't think for a minute that Americans would be dying in the Pacific tonight if it hadn't been for the short-stghted greed of the French and the British and the Dutch. This time, I've tried to make it clear to Winston | that while we're allies, they must | never get the idea that we're in this war just to help them hang on to archaic, medieval empire ideas. I hope they realize, after we've won, that we're not going stultify the growth of every coun- to sit by and watch their system try in Asia and half of Europe"

 Imperialism
 We hear so much talk of imperial ism these days that all of us must wonder what it is. Some questions aris in the minds of Americans whenever they consider the word, especially if our neighbors south of the Rio Grande-the Mexicans, for example - express disdainfu1 con- tempt and hatred for Yankee inn peri,alism. Must a country neces- sarily be formally ruled by an en- peror to possess imperialists? What is modern imperialism? The answer to the second of these ques- tions furnishes at the same time the reply to the first. Essentially, imperialism lies in the rivalry of the great capitalist powers in their quest for markets to dominate.
 The British liberal, J. A. Hobson, contended in his book Imperial ism, published in the early years of this century, that if the acqui- sition of new wealth which terri torial aggrandizement means bene- fited the great bulk of the national population and not a mere hand full of commercial and financial magnates, then there might be some moral justification for impe- rialism. The world depression in the thirties worsened the condi- tion of the common people in the imperialist countries almost as profoundly as it altered the living standards of the colonial popula- tions for the worse. Few people are so naive, therefore as to be- 1ieve that imperialism benefits the subject peoples, though that has always been it's contention since Virgil, the principal literary apo logist of Roman imperialism, wrote that the mission of Rome was 'tparcere subjectis ct debel- lare superbos" (spare the subject peoples and reduce the proud).

 Progress of Colonials Checked
 The benefits" Of modern Bri- tish imperialism can best be ascer- tained by the admissions of such a former administrator as Lord Hailey in his bulky African Sur vey, which appeared in 1889. In no African territory administered by Britain has the social progress of the native black peoples been permitted to occur with the speed which the present epoch of human history demands. The doctrine of trusteeship, whether applied to crown colony, protectorate, man dated territory (under the now defunct League of Nationsl, or even the condominium of the An glo-Egyptian Sudan, is every where predicated upon a false assumption. The Negro peoples, almost wholly agriculturists, are regarded, in the words of Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, as peoples not yet ready to stand by themselves un- der the strenuous conditions of the modern world"

 Then he told his preachers that they'd have a pretty warm time in his conference if they didn't get out and do their duty. Without putting words into his mouth, think that Bishop Reid was, say ing that the AME Church was backing up South Carolina's Pro- gressive Democratic party which South Carolina pollerats are try ing to smash through a phoney libel suit because it has been try ing to register Negroes.
 And courageous Dr. Davis might have been speaking on the same platform with Bishop Reid when he said over there at Tus- kegee:
 "Concurrently in our own South, while Bilbo, Talmadge, and the Ku Klux Klan and their like are stag ing the anti-climactic battles of the Civil War; while Negro war veterans are blinded in South Car olina, beaten and intimidated in Mississippi, and lynched in Geor- gia' with savage brutality, Ne groes are emerging as fully com potent citizens"
 New Citizens For The New South
 I've thought of that last phrase over and over again - Negroes are emerging as fully competent citizens" That very fact means that Southern whites like Celia and myself can keep up our end of the good fight. That very fact means that there is the sure hope of deliverance for your homeland and mine.
 For the very first gains that our South made in the direction of de mocracy, gains which included public free education and laws for the protection of labor, were made during the Reconstruction period when Negroes, working with my people who are the poor whites, exercised all the rights and duties of citizens.
 Few Negroes had any education or training during that era of Re construction. Many of the ablest of the ex-slave legislators had to rely on mother wit rather than on schoolbook learning when they looked about them and saw the thing that had to be done for the South's people of both races.
 But if unlearned Negroes could give us the beginnings of a new Southern civilization which was growing in Reconstruction, how much more will today's better ed ucated, better trained Negroes be able to give us when the last Klansman is hanged? - when the last poll tax receipt burns up in what shall be the ashes of that old South which deserved to die because it never gave it's people the chance to live.
 I think that the answer was on the lips of Dr. Davis when he told us in words that are both poetry and prophecy over there at Tus- kegee:
 "A wind is rising throughout the world of free men everywhere, and they will not be kept in bondage. True democracy, if it is to survive at all, shall triumph in Arkansas, in Georgia, in Alabama, in Mis-
