the other day the Honorable William NJ Colmer
Mississippi Representative in the Congress of the United
States man, much of whose distinction has come
since he became member of the Congress of the United

prejudice political system and way of thinking that
has brought two world within the life time of
generations yet alive, and which will eventually bring
on the third world far destructive than any
thing the world has yet SEEM and one whose existing
potential threatens the humiliation of mankind and the
end of civilization
Revealing in his speech a consciousness and knowl-
edge of this central fact that American Democracy is
now being faced with the most compelling challenge
from communism for geological and world economic and
