SIAMESE TWINS FIRST CHRISTMAS
|Yugos|avs Urge
Red Harmony

BELGRADE, Dec. 26 (R.-Yu-
Igoslavia last night pleaded fol-
"coexistence" in relations among
Communist parties to preserve
the unity endangered by diff
ferences between Hugoslavia and
Soviet brands of communism
Until now coexistence was the
term used by Yugoslavia and
the Soviet Union for relations
between countries with different
systems. 1t usually was applied
to relations between Communist
and capitalist countries.
Now the term is introduced by
Yugoslavia to be applied also to
relations among Communist
parties.
The influential Communist
paper Politika said this term
was not only a diplomatic one
but that it also should be applied
lin, relations among socialistic
(Communist) countries"
Recent events have proved
that proletarian International
ism Is but a nice wish, If the
rights of independence, inde-
pendent thinking and full equal
ity are not respected" Politika
said.
The editorial followed a COM
munique issued at the end of
talks between Yugoslav and
Italian Communists in Italy.
Both parties agreed to CO.

equality, free discussion and

Hatch Act Studied

Richard L. Still, a Georgetown
law student, has been working
for more than a year on a case
history of the Hatch Act. Should
the Congressman choose to fol-
low the outline Mr.. Still will
publish in the Georgetown Law
Review later this month, he will
propose a commission to draw
up and define exactly which
Federal employees may engage in
what political activities.
Either that or a proposal the
present Office handling Hatch
Act matters be given more money
than its present $65, 200 annually
to better devise and define the
complicated piece of legislation
passed without argument in 1899.
Mr.. Still leans toward the anti
political statute of England,
which sets out the political ac-
tivities which certain classes of
employees may participate in.

What's Wrong With Self-lnterest?

In all the welter of charges and countercharges
that being made both in the political and information
From the lofty pinnacle of complete rectude and vr
tue the speaker invariably the other side of act
ing lin his own self-interest.
For the life of me can't what is wrong with
sefnterest
There wouldn't have been America if daring souls
acting in their Sef-nerest hadn't gone out to
what lay beyond the known limits. There wouldn't have
been any colonies if sefinerest hadn't moved settlers
to take and develop these lands There wouldn't have
been any United States if people had not been moved by
senterest to insist that there be taxation without
representation.
And it goes all down the line. The Founding
Fathers, deciding that slave economy not profit
able took time off from their decisions to ban the
slave trade. They decided rule wasn't profit
able, they established system of checks and
balances.
The Bill of Rights expression of the self
interest of the people, Our public school system grew
because iterates mobs and mob rule is bad for
business. All of our means of communication - rail,
steamboats,, airplanes telephones telegraph, radio
grew out of self-interest.
Production is good without buyers. So standards
established, fair trade practices evolved unions
formed to protect the senterests of labor Hours
of work. minimum wages all came out of sef-interest
The farmers worked for legislation that would help them
So did each group. Do you think that wrong use of
self-interest?
The way l see it. we should all work for our own
selfnterest We know prosper when the government
is good Then in self-nterest, we have to see
to it that incorruptibe elected to office. We
have to vote in own self-interest
We know that prosperity demands peace. Therefore
in self-interest, have to to it that
country is strong that aggressor dare attack
We know that prosperity is permanent only when it
is based honesty fair play, and good feeling There
fore it is to senteres to be honest deal fair
ly and be friendly with neighbors.
Selfnteres can be very profitable thing for every
one Otherwise, it is simply short-sightedness.

Negroes And The Spirit OF Equality

Out in Los Angeles California Tuesday, former
Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson, the democrat stand
ard bearer in 1852 who is being regarded by most
of the nation the leading candidate for the 1856 Demo-
crat Presidential nomination told group of Negro lead
that he in favor of desegregation, and among
other things adding that January 1st 1863 the Tooth
Anniversary of the Signing of the Emancipation Pro-
clamaon could be the date of the full Towering of the
spirit of equality in the United States point he reached
after asserting that whatever racial progress is made
depends upon the spirit of men.
We emphasize the word spirit to point up its
peated by Mr.. Stevenson during his interview with
the California Negro leaders, and because of what
feel to be the great Importance of spirit of Negroes in
Mississippi in the rest of the south and the nation in
the struggle in which they find themselves engaged
Without expressing any opinion regarding other
groups it seems to apparent to any intelligent and
International observer that the hatred and bitterness
and Illustration easily discernable among Negroes
is the result of almost total lacking of the spirit of
equality perhaps natural result of the empowering
psychological impact of the propaganda of segrega-
ton.
In full agreement with the remarks of Mr. Stevenson
reported in the press and looking squarey at the Su
preme Court decision indignation and desegregatiOn,
its opinion that the greatest need of Negroes is
spiritual negraton the kind that will enable him to
and be proud of himself American regardless
of the company in which he finds himself.
Armed with Indignation of the spirit, the hatred,
bitterness and frustraton evident among Negroes
would disappear and he race, he would then be able
to make far greater contribution to the full Towering of
the spirit of Equality in the United States by the
ing of the Tooth Anniversary of the Signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
