THE ARGUMENTS pro and
con for Imperial control of the
worlds people and resources will
undoubtedly continue long after
my time. British spokesman are
busy even now. In England's
Zenith, the Rudyard Kiplings
justified" British imperialism
just as Russian writers Justify
Stains expansions or the Dutch
justified their recent plumber in
the East Indies.

10 PAINT the eimperialistic
plumbers Of Western Powers
whittier than the ''land grabs" of
Russia is plain stupidity and does
not conform to the teachings of
any of our Western religions. Yet
for the sake of alliances, we are
subject to make that mistake.
What we should do is demand
that our colonial allies initiate
democratic reforms if they expect
our aid.
DREW PEARSON predicted
last Sunday that the Empire mog-
uls would ask our nation to
patrol their suppressed colon
les and thus lead us into the
realm Of colonial powers, The
absolute variance from our Con-
stitutional democratic system
would be obvious. The risks to
which we would subject our
young troops among Empire em-
FILTERED natives is more than ohv-
ious.
81 - %
UNLESS DEMOCRATIC re-
forms are initiated in the now
subiugated colonial territories,
especially South Africa, the dis
satisfied native populations will
veer toward leftist proportions.
We can avert this situation only
BY substituting GOOD DEMoC-
RACY, and not the iron glove or
mob militarisn. These things no
longer brighten desperate people
They've had it such a long long
time.
WE FACE in our Democracy a
crucial period of world history.
We can choose a road of TOLER-
ANcE and JUSTICE for all races,
creeds and colors, or we can face
the old and broken empire road
of racial and religious superior
/ ties which have at their root
nothing but wars and economic
catastrophe. That is what Gov.
/ Dewey has attempted to show
/ the world at New York.

through its chairman, Charles
S. Krug, announces plans re-
ceiyed from the National Bahai
Assembly in Wilmette, Ill, for
completion Of the Bahaf House
Of Worship in Wilmette in 1851.
The completed Baha'i House
Of Worship will conduct serv-
ices open to all people of every
race. class, nation and creed.
Thess services of worship, since
the Baha'i religion has no pro-
fessional clergy, will consist of
readings by lay readers of pas
age from the sacred writings of
every revealed religion. The
Bahai World Faith thus demon
Strates that all revealed reli-
gions are progressive unto j.
ments or religious truth and are
therefore all united in the latest
revealed religion.

also includes plans tor enlarg-

In early New England there
was a "ducking stool" in every
village, and Colonial gossipers got
a drenching to discourage their
mischief. Today we have better
methods. From DR.. Allport's work
at Harvard has come the "Rumor
Clinic" a powerful weapon which
Evening star., 1949-09-18
GOSSIP CAN BE DYNAMITE
Continu ed from page Jse

any community can use to defend
itself.
The ''Rumor Clinic" is a con-
crete demonstration of how gossip
works. 1t leaves its audience wiser,
warier and less vulnerable to gos-
sips sting. The Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai Birth, chiefly in
terested in spiking rumors about
minorities, has conducted some
$50 Rumor Clinics before Rotary
Clubs, P.T.A.'s. women's clubs,
and other civic groups. Similar
clinics have been held by the Pres
byterian Institute of Industrial
Relations, the YWCA and various
universities and labor unions.
Subway Scene
IHE clinic attended was typi-
cal. Six volunteers from the audi
ence were asked to step out OF the
room while a picture was thrown
on a screen. 1t was a New York
subway scene, with people of vari-
GUS races and nationalities. One of
the six volunteers was brought
into the room to view the picture.
He then told what he had seen to
Number Two, Number Two told
it to Number Three - and so on,
until the story finally reached the
sixth person. They did their re-
telling with their backs to the
screen, SO the audience could
see just where and how distOr-
tions crept in.
Two people standing up in the
subway became two people fight
ing over a seat" because New
Workers associate subway riding
with scrambling for seats).
A razor in the hand of white
man was shifted, in the re-telling,
Evening star., 1949-09-18

to the hand of a Negro because
of the minstrel-show stereotype
which links Negroes and razors).
A bearded man became, in sub
sequent versions, a rabbi" a
priest" missionary" (show-
ing the implantation of ideas from
the teller's own mind; all the pic
ture contained was simply a man
with beard).
A war picture was then
flashed on the screen, and six
other members of the audi
ence relayed the story. A clock
on a steeple somehow got placed
ION a mantelpiece" in the re-tell-
ing there was no mantelpiece in
the picture, but clocks are associ-
ated in our minds with mantel-
pieces). An empty Red Cross truck
got filled with wounded soldiers"
And dozens of other distortions
showed how materials that were
in the minds of TIE tellers - and
not in the picture at all - filtered
into the story.
Strike Back7
A THIRD picture of a street scene
(which was distorted into "a riot"
though there was no violence in it
whatever) completed the demon
stration and the Rumor Clinic
then proceeded to a discussion of
how and why rumors make their
mischievous rounds.
Community wars against gossip
are all very good, you may say,
but what does the individual do
when gossip attacks him? How can
he defend himself? Should he
strike back?
