aggravating the situation in
Arkansas to further his
political aims. There is like
wise little reason to doubt
that the recent pronounce
mentS by Cows. Hartman
and williams also are poll
tical. Do these gentlemen
really give a hang about
racial strife in the South?
Only to the extent that it
gives them an emotional
issue to exploit in appealing
to the minorities in their own
bailiwicks.
The Civil War was fought
almost 100 years ago, and no
good can come of reviving
regional hatreds growing out
of that conflict. Will the
Negro again be used as an
emotional issue, and emerge
to find himself turned out to
Craze as was the case at the
end Of the Civil War?
Disguised.
It is inconceivable that so
many political errors could
have been committed by one
political party in i've short
years.
First. the censure Of Sena-
tor Mccarthy. Second, the
suppression Of anti-commu-
nism. Third, the Mid-East
doctrine which tells the Rus
slams. in effect, that they can
have anything they can take
by inflltration. Fourth, the
disgraoeful economic pressure
applied to our oldest and
only allies, Great Britain and
France. in the Suez situation.
Fifth, the sophomore deci-
sions of the Supreme Court
regarding communism and
segregation. Sixth. the de-
cision to use force to enforce
indignation.
Is this a Government of the
people and by the people and
for the people, or what is it?
Thank God we can still vote
and write letters to the editor.

Now that the sovereign
State of Arkansas has been
invaded and occupied against
its will by Federal troops,
ask Mr.. Eisenhower how he
will explain the bayonet
curtain imposed on the free
people of the South to the
world whose good will he
values more than that Of
the patriotic citizens Of the
South.

President Eisenhower stated
that he had called out the
troops at Little Rock to "en-
force law" and to uphold
the law of the land"
One unfamiliar With the
facts, a newly arrived for
eigner. for instance, would
assume that. under our rep
resentational form Of Gov
eminent. the law which these
troops were enforcing was a
statute of the Federal Con-
gress. Under the United
States Constitution, he would
think. remembering his course
in American history. the Con-
gress makes the laws, the
executive enforces them and
the judiciary interprets them.
But on closer inspection he
would discover that no Fed
eral Congress ever passed a
law forbidding racial segre-
cation in public schools. To
his amazement he would
learn that the United States
Supreme Court decreed the
end of this segregation.

Let the people who enjoy
race-mixing do so. The WASH
ington newspapers I'LL the
editorial pages full Of their
approval. However, have the
newspapers fully integrated
their stats? Why don't you
set the example? Also the
same for the Federal Gov
eminent. And the President
should integrate the Attorney
Generals office: the cabinet
and the Supreme Court
should all be fully and equally
integrated. Also either the
Vice President or the Presi-
dent should be of another
race and chosen at each
presidential election. Then
all will be equal, and fair.
Let the higher echelons Of
Government enjoy the rum
pus they have created by
forcing social life on each
individual. Let's not force
1t on the children, or any
person who does not want it.
