THE DIFFERENCE

In the Soviet Union 1t Is not
possible to challenge or attack
the government. In America a
mass meeting of protest against
race prejudice and discrimination
can be held in Washington, D. c.,
virtually under the capitol dome.
The President can be criticized
and the Congress denounced. The
courts are open for redress. In
Mississippi while the late Senator
Bilbo and Rep. John Rankin were
screaming that Negroes were in
ferior beings and must not vote,
Mississippi Negroes calmly lined
up at polling places, one of which
was a former home of Bilbo. -

ALONG THIS
WAY
BY CHARLES H. HOUSTON

Washington, D. - The American press has been busy
watching the Berlin air lift that paid little attention last
month the the most significant of 1949 the decision of
the sovereign independent republics of India and Pakn to
remain Free equal members of the British Commonwealth of
Nations freely cooperating in the pursuits of peace liberty
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1949-05-20

Nations, freely cooperating
and progress The decision of In
dia and Pakistan to align them
selves with the West has world
shaking significance. It tips the
numerical preponderance Of pop
ulation against Russia and her
satellites in favor of the West.
Russia now faces a major land
threat in war of Western armies
moving thru India up to Russia's
back door.
India has enough territory to
serve as a base for operation of
any size. India is the sixth largest
producing nation in the world, so
that the balance of production of
goods and ornaments now leans
even more heavily with the West.
COnceivably India and Palxistan's
aligning themselves with the West
may be a factor in Russia's shift
in International affairs. Russia
needs time to appraise the new sit
uation.
The action of India and Paxis-
tan casting their lot with the West
makes the struggle for China even
more critical. China has a pop
ulation of 460 million, almost in
exhaustable resources of every
kind, political maturity, and al
ready an appreciable industrial
production. If Russia can control
China's soldier millions and her
resources the scales are tipped
back in her favor. China and Rus
STA standing together can face the
entire world.
1t may not be comforting to the
white western mind to note how
the center of gravity has shifted
from Europe to Asia. But facts
are facts whether one likes them
or not. Assuming the West can
keep up its present rate of techno-
logical progress, it still has no
monopoly on brains. The Asiatic
nations are making chronological
progress, and since they have
more manpower and more poten-
tial resources it is reasonable to
assume that in course of time
they will creep up even and ulti-
mately pass the West.
All these factors tend to &C.
CELEBRATE racial Indignation
throughout the world. Europe Is
no longer able to stand by IT.
self; the white world now leans
on the cOlOred worlds shoulder.
The free and equal members of
the British Commonwealth of
Nations are the United Kingdom,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, India, PalIistan and
Ceylon, with a total population of
some $50 million. The nonwhite
member nations, India, Pakistan
and Ceylon have a combined pop
ulatiOn of 400 million people.
That means that over two out of
every three individual in the Brit
ish Commonwealth family are
nonwhite. The majority of the
citizens Of Greater France are
nonwhite. If the Dutch succeed in
federating Indonesia into a Dutch
family of nations, another white
European mother country win
have a TRANSMISSION.
The United States, Australia
and the Union Of South Africa
are the only countries left where
white supremacy is a national
disease. Day by day we see the
United States setting Its own
house in order and taking down
one racial barrier after another.
Australia and South Africa,
however seem to learn nothing.
