feeling that America could never
stand for such dual citizenship.
DR.. Smiley Blanton, psychiatry
instructor at Vanderbilt Univers-
ity, also spoke, declaring that re-
ligion when truly practiced, cuts
down hate. He said that through
religion "the hate impulse often
becomes transformed into the im-
pulse that drives us to good deeds. !"

Probably the most thought-pro-
voking address during the first
week of the meeting was the one
by DR.. Airport in connection with
the church and religion. He said
in part:
"Institutionalized church-goers
too often attend as "an island of
safety in which to hide their frus-
trations, while the more spiritual
lied church-goers seek anterior
revelation" to inspire and improve
their moral consciences.
public opinion polls and social
study tests have shown that
church-goers on the average are
more prejudiced than are non
church-goers. We find that the
greatest bigots are often the great
est church-goers, that such persons
tend to an excessive moralism
and conventionalism.
" The church-goer who per-
sonally absorbs the great truths
of religion i. exhibits a sharp
reduction in prejudice and in him
we find brotherhood that becomes
woven into the very heart muscle
nerve and gland"
DR.. Johnson challenged Ameri-
cans to mature, declaring in part:
"There can be no backward peo-
pie or third class citizens in a
democracy if it is to exist as a
democracy. Social morality, free
dom and equality grow
only with the most careful cult
vation."
He also denounced attacks which
call persons who fight for minority
rights supporters of Communist

ideas" He said Americans must
guard against "the hysteria that
is manifesting itself in a lack of
confidence in anybody, suspicion
of even our friends, federation, of
wild and irresponsible violations of
our fundamental civil liberties"
under the guise of search for
"heretics and subversives."
Of South Africa, DR.. Phillips
said in part:
South Africa's restrictive laws
have made life seem uncomfortable
for the natives, and they can only
turn to stern protest. And yet
the Afrikaaners who control the
government d. are very genuine
about subscribing to their partic-
ular set of promises concerning
race relations.
Americans can never accept
such promises as either morally
or scientifically sound, and we
should always oppose such prom
Uses -.
The present unrest in that
country has produced a few hope
full signs. Some industrialists are
realizing that in an expanding
economy there must be more
skilled workers and you can't con-
tinually import only white skilled
workers.
"Other hopeful signs are that
everybody is discussing the issue
and that an Increasing num-
Der of young clergymen and social
workers in the Dutch Reformed
Church are sensing the reed of
new moral outlook on the racial
separation issue"
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-07-18

Assistant Field Secretary of the
national NAACP office learned of
the statement, he predicted that
Phillips would in the long run be
denounced as traitor to human
decency."
Perkins, who has recently re-
turned from fighting cases for
several south Georgia Negroes,
whom the NAACP believes have
been death with unjustly by white
police officials, declared that "seg-
regation is sinful and wrong
and added that in Georgia alone
"the schools, courts, industries,
housings, parks and Fairgrounds !;
every avenue of American life
bears mute testimony to this evil.
Exploiting BTW
The NAACP leader said he felt
that Phillips was exploiting the
late Booker T. Washington as the
latter has never endorsed segre-
CATION" He asserted that Phillips
gall in making such was "unbe-
lievable when we are in a death
struggle throughout the nation
and' the world to erase the blight
Of segregation"
Regional Vice President of the
NAACP J. L. Calhoun, who has
been active in segregation fights,
said Phillips did "alright" as long
as he simply lauded Washington
but declared when he began try
ing to interpret effects of segre.
cation, he got begged down to the
subjective limitation of a victim OF
segregation"
"He failed" Calhoun said, "to
show evils and i'll effects of seq
regation, educational, economic
opportunities which if developed
freely would put Negroes in the
highest positions and classes in the
American system"
And closer to the scene.
DR.. John M. Ellerson, president
of Virginia Union University here
said IAN argument of that type is
very pernicious and essentially un-
true"
mo one can say that segrega-
ton has made the Negro pro
gress," DR.. Ellerson said. "Any
man who makes a statement like
that is an opportunist and GER
tainly doesn't reflect my feelings.
Oliver w. Hill, an attorney and
former city councilman, and one
of the lawyers in the Virginis
school segregation case which the
United States Supreme Court has
ordered re-argued next October IL
called Phillips argument "fallac.
lous" and said his views were moi
shared by other colored people.
"Tm certain the majority of Ne.
groes, either educated or unedu
Gated, are bitterly opposed to seq
regation," Mr.. Hill said. "Phil

Telling his audience of the ill
treatment of natives in the Union
of South Africa, DR.. Ray E. Phil
lips, missionary to South Africa
for 35 years, said the whites sin
cerely believed in their practice of
prejudice although their old poll
cies are proving to be strain on
that nations economy. He de-
plored laws that are keeping the

dissatisfaction and unrest leading
to suspicion and distrust. In the
final analysis, they do more harm
than good"
One With Experience
CHASING himself as one who had
experience with the problem, he
declared it was his belief that:
/. The circumstance of the seq
regation system has been of over
all benefit to the Negro, in that it
had given him a "field of his own
to develop"
2. "The economic progress of
the Negro as achieved, and as
presently enjoyed, is due in large
measure, if not in practical en-
tirety, to the pattern of segrega-
ton"
8. That the system of segrega-
ton 'has made the Negro look to
himself, in large measure for ev-
erything he has gotten"

Where Ignorance Is Bliss

lem that he apparently sees no connection
whatever between the comparatively high
prices and high wage levels enjoyed by prac-
tically all other major segments of the ma
tional economy under the American pro-
tective system-and the problem which con-
fronts the agricultural producers.
If the law of supply and demand were
permitted to operate freely and without re-
striction throughout the national economy,
farm and ranch people would get along just
about as well as any other group and prob
ably better than most. But it should be
clear, even to an eastern editor far removed
from contact with the soil, that farmers
could not survive if they had to accept world
prices for their basic products while paying
protected prices for every industrial or COM
mercial service or commodity they buy.
Fortunately, some eastern editorial writ
ers and some radio commentators have a
better and more realistic understanding of
the agricultural situation. They realize that
the objective of the federal farm program is
to maintain a fair and proper relationship
between farm prices and the prices of other
goods and services. They know that unless
such price balance is maintained, labor
and industry, as well as agriculture, will be
in serious trouble.

Editorials

TT is easy to develop misconceptions about
l. people and conditions that are far away,
or even about people and conditions that
are close to us, if we don't take the trouble
to secure accurate information about them.
A noted lecturer once said that the more he
learned about subject, the more difficult
it was to write a speech about it. One can
discourse easily and express dogmatic opin-
ions about something concerning which he
has only superficial information.
Perhaps this is the explanation, although
it is certainly not a valid excuse, for some
of the destructive editorial discussions of the
farm problem" one sees so frequently in
some of the financial journals and metro
politan newspapers now that federal farm
policies are again in the nations spotlight.
One of the worst offenders to come to
our attention is certain eastern financial
journal which we read occasionally. The
editorial writer of this publication persist
emily takes the position that the whole an
swer to the agricultural surplus problem is
to wipe out all government support pro-
grams and to let the law of supply and de-
mand operate without restrictions as far as
the farmer is concerned.
This gentleman, who may be very
learned in other fields. is SO blissfully ignor-
ant of the fundamentals of the farm prob

The Forest Grazing Bill

ators to greatly increase their use of the
forest ranges over period of time by pur-
chasing the ranches and permits of smaller
holders.
The new bill gives the Secretary of Agri-
culture discretion to outline the terms and
conditions under which transfers of grazing
privileges may be made. The Secretary
would be prohibited, however, to make any
reduction in the number of permitted live
stock solely on the basis that the permit is
being transferred. The bill also calls for
comprehensive economic study to establish
the best method of determining grazing
fees on forest lands.
Representatives of the Montana Stock
growers Assn. and the Montana Woolgrow-
ers Assn, as we'll as Individual livestock
growers, testified in favor of the new bill at
the Helena hearing. The bill was also ia
vored by representatives of the Montana
State Farm Bureau and the Washington Cat
tlemen's Assn.
Representatives of the Montana Farmers
Union, the Montana Wild Life Federation
and the Montana Federation of Labor OPP
posed the measure. Some of the opponents
felt that the bill would tend to favor the
more wealthy stockgrowers who could take
advantage of recourse to court procedure,
would have the result of restricting wild
life or would benefit stockgrowers to the
disadvantage of some of the other users of
the forest lands.
Both proponents and opponents of the
measure spoke well of the way in which
the forest ranges have been administered
by the Forest Service.
The 81 witnesses who appeared at the
hearing gave the members of the Senate
committee an excellent cross-section of
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-10-01

A Refreshing example of democracy
- in action was afforded by the us. SEN
ate Agriculture Committee hearing on the
Aiken-Thye Forest Management Bill at
Helena recently. Ordinarily hearings of this
kind are held at Washington. Because of
the time and expense involved, compare
lively few citizens have an opportunity to
attend.
In the case of this grazing bill, however,
the Senate committee decided to hold
series of hearings in the important forest
range states In this way they were able to
secure a much wider expression of opinion
than would have been possible otherwise
The Aiken-Thye bill would not greatly
change the present policies followed by the
Forest Service in administering the forest
grazing land 1t is designed primarily to
give permittees assurance that they will be
compensated for construction and mainte-
nance of range improvements if their per-
mits are terminated before they have an
opportunity to derive adequate benefit from
such improvement
Other provisions of the bill tend to out
line the rights and limitations of stockgrow-
ers who range livestock on the forest lands
quite closely in line with administrative
policies already being followed by the Forest
Service
This proposed legislation is generally
considered to be decided Improvement
over the bill introduced at the last session
of Congress which aroused such storm of
controversy The previous bill was strongly
opposed by numerous individuals and inter-
ests because it made a grazing permit a
vested right which went along with the
land owned by the permittee. 1t was felt
that such law would enable large oper-

public opinion regarding the grazing bill
The hearing was also valuable educational
experience for those who testified and 9TH
ers who attended the meeting. It gave
everyone in attendance better understand
ing of the provisions of the measure and the
problems involved in administration of the
forest ranges.

Judging from recent expressions of Con-
gressional sentiment on the subject of sup
port prices, it seems practically certain that
there will be no reduction in 80 per cent of
parity support levels in 1855. The present
law provides for a continuance of this sup
port through 1854
A plan for disposal of surplus farm crops
on the export market was approved by Con-
gress last spring. USDA have done little to
put this plan into action thus far, but farm
and Congressional leaders are insisting that
this program be carried out aggressively.
Agricultural exports dropped 80 per cent
during the past year and the pile-up of sur
plus supplies is becoming serious There
will be plenty of pressure for action from
now on.
Pessimism about the cattle outlook has
been overdone in some quarters. There are
many indications that the big price adjust
ment has already taken place and that mar
kets will be comparatively stable from now
on. The peak in cattle numbers is apparent
ly going to level out at around "a million,
instead of the 100 million figure forecast a
year or two ago. Many speculative pro-
ducers have been shaken out The longer
range outlook for cattle producers is favor
able
Consumer demand for beef at current
prices has zoomed. In spite of the record
cattle marketing of recent months, there has
been no pile-up of beef in storage. Practi-
cally all of the meat is going into immediate
consumption.
Farmers who are in the best position to
make effective use of acreage taken out of
wheat under the control program are those
who have cattle or other livestock This sur
plus acreage can be planted to grass or other
feed crops.
Quotas for corn in 1854 now appear un-
likely. The August and early September
drought in the cornbelt cut production
sharply and the best guess now is that the
surplus will not be at the quota level. Acre
age allotments for corn appear likely, how
ever. Such restrictions on corn production
apply only to the commercial corn area and
do not, of course, affect corn growers in

While on the subject Of buses and
then riders, let us not forget what
Hazlitt said in his liable Talk" long
ago:
There is not more mean, stupid,
dastardly pitiless. selfish, envious, un-
grateful animal than the public"
Most bus drivers would agree with
that The dear old public has special
place in their lives, for it langulshes
on their collective shoulders all day
they are on the job.
How does it come that "the public"
appears so stupid, so mean and v1ndlc-
tive when each component part,
whether he or she. may be very nice,
agreeable, mannerly?
It seems that it is the lack OF just
plain everyday common courtesy that
stigmatizes this thing called the public.
It is met at its very worst, perhaps
in motoring, and buses are motors, OF
coulse They are packed and jammed
and every busman gets full dose.

rude and ruthless, gets taste OF what

There was that pretty girl who got

She put her token in the box with
her right, and poked the comb toward

The comb had many long hairs
hanging to it. Evidently the lady had
