independently Creates Certain Dislike
By Olive A. Adams

1t has become the habit of MANY Ameri-
cans who travel abroad, upon their return
home to warn us that people in other parts
OF the world don't like us; that they hate our
haughtiness, they hate our aggressiveness and
they hate our prejudces and practices of ra
cial discrimination
All of this may be true on the surface
but most likely what most people in foreign
countries really dislike about us is that we
are strong, powerful and rich Years ago when
the United States was second-rate power and
European nations We're dominating the world
the United States was beloved by most of the
other nations of the world At that time racial
discrimination here was far worse than il is
To-Day. Americans were equally proud and az
sressive then but we were loved and admired,
For some reason, hard to explain, strong
people or strong and independent nations stir
more dislikes than weak ones. A young man
may study hard, suffer privations and strup-
giles to get ahead and while he is doing so
people admire his courage his stamina and
his fortitude. However, once he arrives, once
ne achieves some measure of success and be-
gins to realize the fruits of his toll, people
Arkansas State press., 1953-10-23

turn against him, call him all kinds of names
and set traps to hurt him. The same is true
of a nation
The United States, like big and success
full business or big and successful individual,
has to expect others to envy and dislike it. The
fact that those who are strong and successful
and are able to befriend others does not alter
the situation. AS matter of fact, people and
nations hate those from whom they must ac-
cept help. In the United States for instance
tremendous progress is being made in the area
of racial relations. Opportunities for Negroes
and other minority groups are great, and
those opportunities are growing day by day.
And yet, many Americans allow themselves
to become part of the propaganda setup a.
gainst their own country The freedom to
criticize is another of the priceless freedoms we
enjoy in this country, but some people, in
rather high places, overdo it by falling for and
peddling propaganda leveled against the very
structure of our country 60 gt
