want to convince the rest Of the
world that we are a Democratic
Nation, well have to do more
than say SO. Well have. to con-
vince the world by actions, that
we really mean it,"
81 think that segregation in the
public schools of Dade County
can be eliminated without any
serious effect or confusion. rea-
lie that it will take a little time
for complete adjustment, but it
can be done, and no harmful eff
tects will result to either race"
The above two liberal statements
were msde Sunday afternoon by
DR.. Frederick B. Routh, associ-
ate professor of Human Relations
at the University of Miami, and
executive secretary of the United
Nations Association of Greater
Miami, at st. Johns Baptist
Church. The occasion was the
second in the current series of
forums sponsored by the King of
Clubs Of Miami.
THE United Nations And The
World Of Tomorrow" was the
subject chosen by DR.. Routh for
this occasion. The doctor devel-
oped his subject very effectively
by dividing into five distinct sub
readings, and establishing each
one as an integral part of the
general theme. The Sub-headings
were: i-"Leader of the Demo-
cratic World" 2-"World Divid-
ed" 3-'World In Revolt" a
Attacks On The United Nations"
and S-"Unto Thine Ownself Be
True"
In establishing the first, the
doctor said among other things
that: "The mantle Of leadership
of the democratic world is des-
Sended upon the shoulders Of the
United States. Much of the rest of
the world stands and looks to the
United States for economic and
moral guidance"
Agreeing intellectually with
a statement made recently by DR..
Mordecai w. Johnson. president
of Howard University, Washing
ton, DC. at the Dade County
Auditorium, DR.. Routh pointed
out that 'too many people say
and think that everything that
the Soviet Union does is bad,
and everything that we do is
good" Like DR.. Johnson, he, too,
emphasized that was a wrong i'm
preston.
The doctor hit one of his sew
eral highlights when he said: In
ternationally, the modern world
is not divided into two parts -
as many think. Instead, 1t is di-
vided into three parts, namely,
the Soviet Union, the United
States and the fencers. Just which
leader the fancers follow, is going
to play an. important role in the
world Of tomorrow"
"Slightiy more than two thirds
of the people Of the world is
colored - and the rest Of the
world is sitting by waiting for the
White race to destroy ITSELF" he
said.
DR.. Routh was very critical of
the Bricker Amendment, and
blasted Senator John Bricker, Of
Ohio, its author, as insincere, by
quoting from Article 6 of the Con-
stitution Of the United States.
State Fighters also came In for
considerable criticism from the
Doctor, when he labeled them as
''the boys who want to control
the government in their own way,
but do not want home rule on the
county level" He called them
Zone way States Fighters"
He praised President Truman's
stand on Korea from the very be-
ginning Of the conflict, and added
that: cas- long as I 1--we, I will be
proud OF Harry s. Truman"
In closing, DR.. Routh quoted
from the late franklin D. RooSe-
welt. who said: "the only limit OF
our realization Of tomorrow, Will
be our fears Of today"
A near capacity house attend
ed the program and many Joined
in a spirited question period
The doctor answered very ade-
Quately all questions asked on his
popular topic of the day.
Music for the occasion was rem
dered by the Carver High School
