the draft will be held. 1t is the
hope of French Togolese that this
will be the first step toward the
burning goal of independence for
which West Africans everywhere
are striving.
Togoland, a former German COL
ony, was divided after World War
I, part being administered by
France and part by Great Britain.
Since Britain had recently held a
plebiscite in British Togoland, it
was inevitable that France would
take some such action in French
Togoland to combat growing native
unrest.
In the British territory the ma
jority of voters wanted to join the
Gold Coast which, under it's new
name, Ghana, will be the first Brit
ish colony in Africa to gain full
independence.
A plebiscite in French Togoland
would represent big step forward
for a country where 80 per cent of
the population are illiterate and
where cannibalism is not unusual
in remote districts of the interior.
However, the Togolanders have
voted before; and the impressive
display of order during the British
Togoland plebiscite shows that I'M
educated people can show political
responsibility.
The new French constitution
would give French. Togoland home
rule within the framework of the
French Union. Defense and for
eign affairs would still be con-
trolled by the French, and the ter
ritory would continue to send rep
resentatives to the French National
Assembly and to the Council of
the French Union in Paris.
The territory would have a leg
islative assembly elected by uni
versal suffrage. In turn, the as
sembly would choose a cabinet of
eight ministers. The selection of
the cabinet would be subject to
the approval of the French High
Commissioner.

given reports reaching this obser-
walton point. 1t appears that once
again South Africa's Dutch-de-
scended Afrikaner Nationalist
have submerged vital differences
for preservation of that sectional
unity which means so much to
them.
Mutterings of dissatisfaction and
rebellion began some months back
among a group Of the governments
intellectual supporters and certain
clerics of the Dutch Reformed
Church, to which it owes much Of
its strength.
They were concerned over the
morality Of the governments plan
for racial segregation, for they had
always maintained that to be NOR
ally justifiable, segregation Of
blacks from white must be COM
plete and equal.
But it was becoming increasingly
obvious that total segregation of
South Africa's 100000 multi
racial population was physically
impossible and that facilities for
non-whites would remain vastly in
ferior to those for whites.
Segregation Denounced

self exclusively to his external az

phasis on the state propaganda Of

This aura Of solidarity and good
will both at home and abroad is
vital to the government at this
point as the final stage nears in
it's long legal struggle with official
opposition over the constitution.
The hearing opens in the High
Court Of Appeals on Oct. ID on the
validity Of the governments alter
atoms to the constitution, includ-
ing charging the parliamentary
upper house with government sup
pOrters.
If it can maintain the unity OF
its party, it is considered the gov
ernment will ignore demands to 90

"were specifically promised by the
Republican Party in its 1852 plat
form"
"In contrast" the National
Chairman said, "the Democratic
Party in its 1866 platform specific
ally pledges to continue it's efforts
to eliminate illegal determinations
of all kinds, in relation to ~ full
rights to vote; (2) full rights to
engage in gainful occupations; (3)
full rights to enjoy security Of the
person, and (4) full rights to edu-
cation in all publicly supported in
stitutions.'
Moreover" Mr.. Butler declared,
"the Republican platform makes no
mention whatsoever of the major
ity rule and limitation of debate in
the Congress which has helped to
block civil rights legislation in the
past.
"The Democratic PLATFORM" he
continued, urges that action be
taken at the beginning Of the 85th
Congress to improve COMPRESSION
al procedures so that majority
rule prevails and decisions can be
made after reasonable debate with
out being blocked by minority in
either House"
Mr.. Butler charged that Repub-
lican platform claims that more
progress has been made in the field
of civil rights under the Eisenhower
Administration than in any similar
period in the last 80 years "just do
not square with the record. The
truth is that the Republicans have
not pioneered single major gain
in the civil rights field and their
1866 platform clearly reveals that
they do not intend to-"
Following is comparison of the
two platforms concerning civil
rights:
/. Retreat From 1852 COP
Platform
The 1856 COP Platform contains
no mention of (D Fair Employ
ment Practices (FEPC) legislation;
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1956-09-15

from its parent Dutch Reformed
Church in Holland and its sister
branch in the United States.
But although the new policy de-
crees that "all believers, prospect
i've of race or color are called to
acknowledge, respect and love one
another as fellow citizens" it does
little to amend the church's basic
belief in segregation.
For it adds that although the
church accepts clear demand to
act according to Scriptures it is
"of the opinion that circumstances
in South Africa have not changed
sufficiently for This ideal to be put
fully into practice" and therefore
"does not hesitate to warn against
Indignation of white and non-white
races"
Effect of this conference and the
new-old policy is to pledge the
Dutch Reformed Church anew in
powerful coalition with a govern
ment dedicated to the goal of ra-
cial segregation.
An additional strengthening fac
tor TO rthe government is the out
standing personal success of Prime
Minister Johannes G. Strijdom at
the recent Commonwealth prime
ministers conference in London.
"GOod Impression"
The nationalists consider Mr..
Strijdom, with his numerous tele-
vision and press interviews, con-
veyed the impression to Britain
of a South Africa benevolently
moderate in its non-white admin
istration and of a benign and
friendly Mr. Strijdom completely
puzzled by the long string Of un-

(2) anti-poll tax legislation; (3)
anti-lynch legislation--all Of which
were specifically promised in the
1862 COP platform.
1. This represents a major re-
treat from the 1852 COP Platform.
2. In contrast to the COP plank,
the 1866 Democratic Platform spec
ifically pledges the Democratic
Party to continue its efforts to
eliminate illegal determinations of
all kinds in relation to ~ full
rights to vote; (2) full rights to
engage in gainful occupations; (3)
full rights to enjoy security of the
person, and (4) full rights to edu-
cation in all publicly supported in
stitutions."
3. Pres. Eisenhower himself was
largely responsible for "toning
down" the COP civil rights plank:
Charles T. Beard, leader Of the
Southern faction on the COP plat
form committee, said he was told
that Mr.. Eisenhower had sent
word to moderate the civil rights
plank after Southern Republicans
had protested about the original
draft" - United Press dispatch,
8I21i56.
2. Republican Claims of Progress
In Civil Rights
"In the area Of exclusive Federal
jurisdiction, more progress has
been made in the civil rights field
under the present Republican Ad-
ministration than in any similar
period in the last 80 years"
The truth is that the Republicans
have not pioneered single major
''break-through" in the civil rights
field; they have merely picked up
where the Democrats had done the
pioneering and broken the new
ground" in these areas:
*Lntergration in the Armed
Forces Truman Executive Order
1881, 7i26I4s).
Ending discrimination on Gov
eminent contracts beginning in
194o).
*Opening the top policy jobs to
qualified persons of all races (such
as Mary Mcleod Bethune; Edith
Sampson; Judge William Hasti
Ending discrimination in Fed
eral employment beginning in
194D.
Ending segregation in recrea-
ton facilities anil on Government
contracts in the Nations Capital
beginning in 1949 and 1950).
3. Majority Rule and Limitation
OF Debate in Congress
No mention.
The 1856 Democratic Platform
pledges: we urged that &C.
ton be taken at the beginning OF
the 85th Congress to improve Con-
gressional procedures so that ma
jority rule prevails and decisions
can be made after reasonable de-
bate without being blocked BY q

refused to upset the Departments
action. They said Robson had
failed to exhaust his administra-
tive remedies" in his attempts to
obtain a passport.
In his appeal to the Supreme
Court, Robson complained that the
government not only has banned
him from going to England, Israel
and the Scandinavian countries, but
won't even let him make a trip to
Canada, for which no passport is
required.
He asked the high tribunal to
rule on whether the State Depart
ment can prevent an American
citizen from visiting Western Hem
isphere countries as we'll as deny
a passport for visit overseas be-
cause of the citizens political views
and associations.

Arrive ''by the Bushel"
The women arrived by the
bushel in buses. Many carried
placards and paraded in front of
the department throughout the
day. 1t was louder than the cara
van of cattlemen who once de-
scended on Secretary Ezra Taft
Benson, The cattlernen saw Mr..
Benson and a delegation even
conferred with the President.
The potato farmers wives,
however, dealt with UnderSecre-
tary True d. Morse and Assistant
Secretary Earl Butz. Mr.. Ben
son, who is now in Reading, Pa.
sent q telegram saying he re-
grets he could not be here.
Finally. the ladies were escort
ed into the departments big
auditorium in the south building.

ularly indignant wife, what you
have done for cotton, peanuts,
tobacco and other things you can
certainly do for potatoes"
Billions for foreign aid and
nothing for Long Island farm
aid" shouted another.
Emergency Claimed
Remembering the good old
days several months ago when
city folks were considering CIV
ing potatoes up. another wom-
an declared:
This is an emergency. We
have left our farms, our hus-
bands and our babies. If the price
of potatoes doesn't go up, we
won't eat. Well have to eat the
potatoes"
Mr.. Butt considered the mat
ter a moment and decided that
if the farmers would sell the
potatoes in an even flow then
the price of potatoes might be
more stable.
He also recalled the potato
diversion program under which
the Government pays so cents a
bushel for lower grade potatoes
to be diverted into starch, live
stock feed and other by-product
uses.
Increase the payments" de-
manded the ladies. But the
reply was that couldn't be done
for one special group.
Remarks Applauded
Everything the ladies said was
followed by loud applause. Mr..
Butz wanted to have lunch. The
ladies said no. MIR. Morse sug-
gested pressing business else

partment's domain such as ''the
