washington, ~. C.-n speech
in the U. s. House of Representa-
tives Wednesday, August 80, Con-
gresham Eugene Mccarthy of
st. Paul roundly denounced the
use of derogatory terms applied
to Asiatics and national religious
minorities in the U. S.
Mr.. Mccarthy said:
Mr.. Speaker, in a recent issue
of the New York Times, Robert
Trumbull reports that 'anti-Unit-
ed States feeling in India has
never been so widespread as it Is
now Part of this feeling I'M
doubtedly arises from the des-
truction of Korean Towns and vii
lagos by the United States troops
and from the fact that Americans
are killing Asiatics in the present
United Nations action in Korea.
These are facts of war which we
must accept. Part of the anti
pathy is the result of anti-Euro-
pean and anti-American attitudes
and racial prejudices which have
been deliberately aroused against
US. Part of it is the result of our
own failings, of our failure to
try to understand the Asiatic or
to try to explain ourselves to
him. We must realize that even
though we win the ultimate VIC
tory in Korea, we may still lose
the battle for Asia. We must not
forget that along with the mill
tary war, we are engaged in a
worldwide war of ideologies. Vic
tories and defeats on this level
are every bit as important to our
success as are victories in the
field. The Communists are sharp
ly aware of this and are quick to
capitalize on each of our failings,
on every weakness in our ideo-
logical armor.
In a recently published book,
The God That Failed, Richard
Crossman, a member of the
British Parliament warns:
Whatever its failures in the
west, communism still comes as
a liberating force among the col
ored peoples who make up the
great majority of mankind
For them, western democracy
still means quite simply white
ascendancy.'
Certainly this describes the
Communist propaganda line in
Asia today. We must be most
careful to defend ourselves
against this. We must be jealous
to remove from our own thinking
the false thesis of racial superior
ity, Jealous to eliminate from our
own culture the institutions and
practices which rest on this false
thesis, We must remember that
every careless act or word on our
part serves to strengthen the
Communist propaganda efforts.
Every lapse on our part plays in
to the hands of the enemy. One
such lapse, and one which has
been recurring with regrettable
frequency is the use in the Ma
tons press of the word "gook" in
referring to the North Koreans.
1T is reported that the word
cook was first applied TO the
American soldiers, but that 1t has
since been turned back and APP
piled to the Koreans. II has TAX
en- on an overtone of disparage-
ment which will quickly be ex-
plotted against US. II Is not sur
prising, or even particularly dis
tressing, that men in battle
should apply disparaging terms
to the enemy or fix derogatory
labels upon them. Destroy the
infidel" was the battle cry Of the

this camp become another sue
cessful experiment in complete
Negro indignation as had Fort
Ord, California
The regimental officers recep-
ton for the correspondents after
the retreat ceremonies Friday
night, gave us a chance to find
some Of the answers we sought.
At the reception we met officers
from almost every company in
training there. For the most part
they were very gracious in talk
ing about everything under the
sun except Indignation. Most of
them thought it was all right to
integrate on a battalion or COM
pany basis, but were very silent
when we informed them this
wasn't what the Negro soldier
wasn't what the Negro soldier
were based upon the presence
of southern white troops in
outfits which they commanded
during World War II. When we
told these officers that some of
these same southerners were now
training, living and sleeping side
by side with Negro soldiers, their
answers invariably stated they
hadn't actually been in close con-
tact with Negro soldiers during
the last war. All they knew was
what had been passed along the
grapevine"
We found in talking with
other men like Capt. Win Peder-
son, a former Minnesota grid
star, that the sooner Indignation
was done the better off everybody
in the Army would be. Peterson
talked freely about a mans right
to advance as far as possible in
his chosen profession. Another
officer, a Lieutenant Colonel who
asked us not to use his name, felt
the same way. Negro troops had
served in his outfit during World
War II and he had closely watch
ed the reactions of his men to the
presence of the Negroes in their
outfit. The incidents, according to
the colonel, which occurred, were
Of a minor nature, giving him the
impression that these same men

MCCARTHY CONDEMNS USE OF
DEROGATORY TERMS IN CONGRESS

Crusaders. The Germans were
Huns in World War I. In the wars
with Mexico we were gringos.
Fighting men under pressure de-
velop many words and phrases to
express annoyance, impotence,
or to provide outlet for the fears
and Illustrations born in battle.
My censure is not directed at
the fighting men who use the
term, but at the newspapermen
and radio reporters who have ex-
plotted it. The first news story
using the term cook involved an
interview with a soldier on the
Korean front. Since then it has
appeared in headlines, in stories,
in the comments of popular syn
dicated columnists and in the re-
ports of the radio commentators.
Undoubtedly the men responsible
for such usage think that the
term lends local color or a ring
of authenticity to what would
otherwise be an ordinary news re-
port. Even If this were the case,
such literary value is poor ex-
change for the potential harm in
the use of the term. No one holds
that the press has the right to
make indiscriminate use of the
entire military vocabulary in
order to create an on-the-scene
illusion for the Nations readers.
No one questions the desirability
of restraints on behalf of accep-
ted conventions of decency. Ger
tainly the press should not object
to restraint and self-discipline
for the sake of better relations
between the peoples of America
and Asia.
THE responsible section of the
American press has disciplined it,
self to eliminate the use of de-
rogatory terms that have too
often been applied to religious,
national, or racial minorities in
our own country. It should do the
same in its references to peoples
outside the United States.
Fundamentally this is a most
important matter. 1t involves
the very basic issue of the dignity
of the human person, regardless
Of nationality, religion, or race.
This practice of labelling Is both
undemocratic and un-Christian.
II flouts truth because of its in
accuracy. 1t flouts justice for the
same reason, and it flouts char
ity as well. Once a nation or a
race-or its members-is checked
and filed by means of a label,
every individual subject TO that
label is done for as a person. 1t is
difficult, often impossible, for
them to return to their former
dignity either in their own
minds or in the minds of others.
True, great personalities or
strong nations and peoples may,
by concerted and almost super
human effort, throw off the eff
feet of the label.
The ordinary people and the
weaker nations, however, can be
utterly destroyed by 1t. These are
the people who are the concern of
democracy and of Christianity.
These are they who are exploited
by totalitarianism.
Il call upon the press to exer-
else the responsibility which Is
the condition Of its freedom. To
submit to self-discipline in the
interests OF truth and Of peace u
essential to the preservation Of
that freedom and a final. lasting
victory in the war Of ideologies
now raging throughout the world.
