Those who have sought diligently
to know the truth about mankind

gether," a concise description OF
various countries and peoples.
His thesis is that differences in
location, topography and climate,
prolonged isolation, and mans Gre
ativity have served to differentiate
mankind"
The extent to which that pro-
cess of differentiation has gone
is simply amazing. Africa has
eight hundred languages.
China's early republic official
recognized five racial stocks,
the most numerous of which are
the Chinese themselves.
The Soviet Union is a multi-na-
ton state and it's people are as var
led as it's climate-l75 nationalities
speaking $50 languages and dia-
lects.
India is sub-cOntinent as varied
as Europe.
Differentiation in language,
culture, physique, and manner
of living have been evolving
through three thousand years.
The result is obviously many
patterns, a wide variety of ac-
cOmplishment, and diverse
standards of judgment.
This unequal political and social
development Of mankind constitutes
one of the great problems of our
time.
To some extent mankind is ready,
physically and spiritually, to enter
into the duties and responsibilities
of membership in a world family
since so many different peoples and
schools of thought have made their
contributions through the centuries
to what now constitutes world civil.
ization.
OF course, there Is a serious
question of whether the Deep
South is yet ready to accept the
doctrine of the oneness of man
kind. The findings Of the Presi-
dents Committee on Civil
Rights would indicate that
while America is far from the
goals of human freedom and
equality. the South hampers the
world leadership in the United
States and embarrasses its
statesmen when they proclaim
fundamental truths.
In order to attain the oneness of
mankind, and the "One World" of
the late Wendell Willkie, the North
should accord economic justice to
the South to relieve it of some of
its impoverishment.
1t is not altogether that the South
does not want to provide equal edu-
catiOnal opportunities for colored
people. 1t is unable to afford equal
educational opportunities for its
white children because Of its pov.
erty. In such a situation, of course
the children of the people who are
denied voice in government are
the ones to suffer most.
There is also the problem of equal
justice under the law. The South
cannot continue to have one law for
its white people and another for its
colored. So long as prison guard:
