MATERIAL FOR THE SOVIET WORLD REVOLUTION
AND THE NEGRO RIGHT TO VOTE

Up in New York last Friday John Foster Dulles, in a
speech at the Hotel Waldorf said in the Soviet Union
encouraging the revolutionary movement of colored peo
pie against the white people of the world The importance
of this statement lies in the foct that aside from being an
international lawyer of outstanding reputation Mr. Dulles
is everywhere regarded being omong best informed
and most obe foreign observers Among those who ore
being subjected to this encouragement the port of the
Soviet Union mentioned by Mr. Dulles were virtually all
of the nonwhte notions and of Asio Africa South
America and the Islands of the Seas In concluding his
remarks less the Soviet Union successful in the task
ho thus undertaken Mr. Dulles coils attention to the great
task which result has become the responsibility of the
United Stoes and it's people the worlds greatest demo-
crotic nation
Significantly, and perhaps trogcoIy, the greatest
from which the Soviet Union drow the material
upon which to project it's encouragement of revolution
dry movement of coIored people against white people,
because of it's chrson democratic idea and ideal is the
United States.
In the fact that Mr. Dulles chose such time in
which to moke this Speech lies the further fact that the
time upon which this nation and it's people should up
on the great task and responsibility which the ccum-
stances and conditions thus imposes is immediate and
present; and the need of the greatest urgency
While other sections of the country are not without
guilt it truth tho should be faced viii Condor end hon
esH that the south, because of it's history and tradition
it's present attitude and concept of democracy color and
race, ong the lead in furnishing the white versus col
ored material for this Soviet revolutionary movement
eBcause of it's tradition and history and its present
attitude and concept of democracy color and race no
ton of the country bears greater part of the RESPONSE
by the great task pointed out by Mr. Dulles as does
the South.
Preanty from The point of view Of Mr. Dulles speech
there could be no more welcome material with which to
feed the Soviet revolutionary fires than the effort oIreody
put forth in South Carolina ond Aoboma now in process
in Georgia, in immediate contemplation in Mississippi and
possible in the future for the rest of the states in the
south prevent cooed people from voting and thus mock
the democratic process, idea and Ideals
In the desperate contest now going on for political
and theological world mot, section oford to look
lightly upon its responsibility to contribute it's fullest
share to the character of the nation.
The character of the notion is not what think of
ourselves but what the rest of the world thinks of Meth
er Atom Bombs the ability to grant looms the obty
to give out great quantities Of food all of them COM
bined are the equal power in the final analysis to world
respect and good will
Since the speech of Mr. Dulles, it would appear from
the point of view of the south and it's contribution to the
great task that lies ahead that the first thing it could do
would be TO abandon the efforts to chonge the stoe pr
mary laws and prevent coIored people from voting AS
seems plain in the light Of the speech Of Mr. Dulles that
further efforts to stop coored people from voting in the
south will serve only moterio to increase the possibi
tes of the success of Soviet encouraged coored versus
white world revolution.
