Siege Of Richmond

Governor Stevenson put his best foot forward
as he laid siege to Virginia's IL electoral votes
which ordinarily would be safely in the Demo-
cratic column, but which this year are in the
doubtful category.
His address in Richmond was q masterful
political effort. He reminded his audience Of
the things that were done to the South after the
Civil War. He found much in the South and in
the Southern tradition to praise-the new vitality
in that region, the strides the South has made
during the past decade in solving its racial prob
lens, the political genius Of the South including
the constitution of the Confederacy, and last,
but by no means least, General Robert E. Lee.
Behind these graceful amenities, however,
lay the hard core of the speech. Although he
did not dwell upon it, Governor Stevenson stated
clearly and bluntly that he adheres to the Demo-
cratic platforms position on civil rights And
that platform as he has interpreted 1t in earlier
statements, comes down to two main points:
~ The States should be given an opportunity
to enact adequate fair employment practices
laws of their own. But If they fail to do this,
then the Federal Government should enact Its
own legislation applicable to the States. (2) II
elected President, he will use his influence ito
get the Senate to change its rules under which
filibusters have killed civil rights legislation"
In other words, Governor Stevenson is COM
mitted to the thing that the South fears most
a compulsory Federal FEPC and curb on the
filibuster tactics which heretofore have pre-
vented such bill from coming to vote.
At Richmond, he did not retreat from this
position But he praised the strides that have
been made in the South toward equal treatment.
And he said: "The political abuse of the prob
lem of discrimination in employment the ex-
ploitation of racial aspirations on the one hand
and racial prejudice on the other-and all for
votes-is both dangerous thing and a revolving
spectacle in our political life"
This goes to the heart of Southern concern
over this issue. Most Southerners do not believe
that a compulsory Federal FEPC can be made to
work in their section. Furthermore, they say
they are making progress in dealing with dis
elimination and that, given time, they can work
It out The undeniable fact is, however, that
politicians of both parties, but particularly OF
the Democratic Party, are shamelessly exploiting
this issue for the sake Of votes-Negro votes in
the key States of the North, East and Middle
West Many of them do not believe that COM
pulsory FEPC legislation would be either wise or,
constitutionally sound. But for the sake OF
votes they nevertheless exploit the issue.
Governor Stevenson may be above this kind
Of bidding for votes. It is to his credit, how
ever, that he is willing to say the same thing
to q Richmond, Va, audience that he says in
Harlem.

Politics and Geography

The National Geographic Society, true to It's
instincts, sees In the American presidential
campaign practices an unparalleled opportunity
for the candidates to learn the Nations
geography frsthand.
The societys deduction hardly can be dis
puted particularly in the light OF this years
campaign plans Of General Eisenhower and
Governor Stevenson. Combining airplanes with
trains and front porches the two candidates OF
1852 are coming face to face with the voters OF
every section and almost every State OF the
country. If they fail to learn lot OF geography
it will be because they were unusually well
informed before they started.
Campaign travelling was not the habit IN the
early days of the Republic-for two reasons
One was that the facilities for travel were
inadequate to permit countrywide canvass
during the electioneering period. second was
that this type of energetic solicitation was con-
sidered undignified for one who had been
granted the high honor Of presidential noml-
nation. Political spokesman and friendly jour-
nails carried larger share of the load
william Henry Harrison, the eminent
Indian fighter, was the first to take to the hus-
tings in big way in 1886. BY coach and horse
back, he covered a lot of States in that year
although he didn't win the White House until
he stayed at home for the 1910 campaign.
William Jennings Bryan, who never did get to
the White House, really popularized campaign
travel in 1896 when he covered some $4,000 miles
and addressed an estimated five million people.

A DisqrocefuI River

There is sdelight on the Potomac River
regattas that is of interest in connection with
the movement to reduce pollution in the stream
This is the unpleasant fact that the condition of
the river is such as to discourage its wider use
for water sports
1t has been disclosed that the only sour note
heard In discussions by contestants in the
Presidents Cup Regatta concerned the dirtiness
OF the Potomac Writ Gill, chairman of the sail
division OF the regatta, described the pollution as
"a disgrace to the Nations Capital"
The river is, indeed in disgraceful state.
And sailors and motorboat pilots are not the only
ones who are worried about it. Health authorities
on both sides of the river in the Washington
area are seriously disturbed about the near-septc
condition OF the water between Key Bridge and
Fort Hunt. because of sewage contamination.
The danger increases each summer as the flow
OF water declneS-aS it has during the recent
drought SPELL
Il Unfortunately, there is no hope of early
relief 1t will take years of plant construction
to provide the area with sufficient treatment
facilities to alleviate most of the danger and
make the river once more attractive to sports
men. Today most of the raw sewage in the river
comes from Alexandria, which has no treatment
plant. But Alexandria, in cooperation with near
by counties at least is taking definite steps to
correct this situation. The District which gives
its sewage only partial treatment, is expanding
Its plant as rapidly as funds permit
So the prospect is that within few years
the Potomac River will have been cleaned I'D
sufficiently not only to eliminate health hazards
but to make it a popular spot for all sorts of
water races, If not for swimming. The effort viii
be long and costly one, however, requiring CO.
operation OF every community along the river.

"Sudunent" for Africu

The twentieth century has seen great
changes in national and international
thought. This changing thought has
given greater expression and prestige to
many people and places that were al
most unknown few years ago. Even
where some Of these people and places
were known, false ideas and opinions
were held of them, or even worse. they
were ignored and/or forgotten.
In this respect, Africa has suffered
more than any other area. First. be-
cause Of false propaganda against her
and secondly. because Of her defense
less position. This false information be-
came all the more convincing when
silhouetted against the prejudicial
national and racial attitudes of many
of the then leading world powers.
This ignoring of Africa reached even
into the realm of philology. The geo.
ethno- cultural Technology. the world
had been divided in two; East and
West, Oriental and Occidental. None
of these terms include Africa, hence.
it had been concluded that Africa had
contributed nothing to world progress.
therefore could not be spoken of in
similar terms, as oriental music or
occidental painting.
It is with this in mind that submit
the term "Sudanental." In future let
us speak Of Sudanentalism or Sudanen-
tai culture and refer to the African area
in general as the Sudanent.
I think Of the word "Sudanental" as
a geopolitical term, embodying the same
theological and ethno-cultural over
tones as Oriental and Occidental,
hence, dividing the world into three
parts rather than two. neither Of which
had included Africa.

@. Is it true that the "solid South"
has voted Democratic consistently since
the Civil War, except in 1928 and 1913?
NH.
A. No. Georgia is the only State
which has cast its ELECTORAL vote con-
sistently for Democratic candidate in
every presidential election year since
1864, when none of the Confederate
States voted in the Union election. The
last year in which Georgia did not
vote Democratic was 1848, when her
ELECTORAL vote was given to the Wing
candidate, Zachary Taylor. Georgia is
never voted Republican.
