THE ANcLo-sAxoN BLOC
It most be plain to even the
casual observer that the Negroes
fortunes and future are inextri-
cably tied IN with the fortunes
and future Of thenation and world.
The Negro viii so up OF down
with the nation and the nation
win so up or down with the
world. Many OF the solutions we
are straining to achieve FOR the
race, are bound up with world
matters, which condition even per
sonal matters In many instances.
It is just as we'll that we look
beyond our racial horizon and see
the ominous meanings In events
which apparently seem far re.
moved from present and imme-
date concern. Reference is made
here to the proposed Anglo-Saxon
bloc which is tacitly determining
world policy. OF course. Winston
Churchill in his Russo-phobia has
come nearest to exposing the ser
ious intent of the Anglo-Saxon
peoples to compose and Anglo
Saxon bloc, which would supplant
the fragrant imperialism which
has actuated and motivated ma
tons since the historic ages be-
gan
The sooner the intent OF this
tacit Anglo-Saxon bloc is exposed
the better. The ties that bind
this country and England are not
political and economic ties, but
Anglo-Saxon ties. These considerar
lions largely explain England's
and Americas proposal to lease
up on the Germans. They did 1t
at the conclusion Of World War /
to the undoing OF France, their
gallant ally. French statesmen
were stubborn in their opposition
to ago-easy-with-the Germans"
plans, and what is more. subse-
quent events have proved them
right and wise. But repetition
of the same betrayal is in the
offingl
Already the u. s. and England
are trying to patch up" matters
with Germany in such fashion
that Germany may stage a hasty
come back. Russia OF course stands
in the way of such unhappy con-
Summation, but unless signs mis-
carry badly. England and the q.
S. are about to forgive and for
get" the horrors and SORROWS that
Nazi Germany loosed upon a hap
les world. 1t is difficult to under
stand how gallant France could
be SO wantonly sacrificed by her
wartime allies. But France is not
an integral part of the proposed
Anglo-Saxon bloc. In the final
analysis, the impending alignment
Of nations will include the U. s.,
England, Germany Scandinavia and
Nr-AE.
Palitical consideration may over
ride racial considerations immediar
tely and temporarily, but the long,
time plan involves an Anglo-Saxon
block which In its final fulfilment
means the more complete subjuga-
ton OF the non-Anglo- Saxon peo-
pies, an example Of which is vivid
ly shown in the Dutch designs
and doings in Indonesia. This flag
rant Imperialism is pattern of
the imperialism that has Char
acterized British colonial policy for
centuries. United Nations or no
United Nations, In the final an
alysis the Dutch will get what
they are after in the Pacific, for
it is an integral part of the policy
Of the proposed Anglo-Saxon bloc.
Should this ubiquitous organiza-
ton become definitely fastened
upon civilization, the darker peo-
pies OF the earth are in for some
bitter experiences. With the at
omic bomb accessible, the bloc
could easily completely dominate
the world for indefinite centuries.
Today the greatest world STUN
bling block is the facit Anglo
Saxon bloc! 1t stand astride the
path that leads to peace and uni
versal brotherhood, like an angel
with flaming sword at the gates
Of the paradise of humanity's an
cient dream of peace on earth
and goodwill among men. Just
as England has for many CEN
turtles justified her Imperialism by
rationalizing her explorations as
being in the interest of the lowly
peoples, so could an Anglo-Saxon
bloc with equal facility justify its
practices and policies, even though
these may make subject peoples
creatures Of adverse circumstan-
ces rather than citizens with con-
surrent privileges and responsible
tiles.
