Chief Minister Eric Williams Cab
inent want to resign over what
has been taken by the Indian COM
| munity as an attack on them by
Mr.. Williams, whose political base
IS the Negro vote. Two of the
men are Indians and the third is
closely associated with them polit-
ically.
Any such resignation could well
bring down the controversial Will
Hams government, a major event
in the Caribbean. And putting
aside any possible resignation, it
is important to consider the situa-
ton spotlighted by the report.
Politics Revolutionized
In the past few years Mr.. Will
liams revolutionized Trinidad pol
icies by establishing its first truly
mass political party, the Peoples
National Movement. He is an Ok
ford Doctor of Philosophy, an econ
Omist, and not at all in the earlier
tradition of the "barefooted and
unwashed" leaders who have be-
fore now led the Negro people of
Trinidad.
Up to now Mr.. Williams has
had a fairly strong appeal for at
least part of the Indian vote be-
cause of his carefully reasoned ap-
peal to the working people of the
island, mild socialism. Yet two
months ago, just after his West
Indies federation party-the Fed
eral Labor Party-was soundly
defeated in the federation elections
in winning only four of 10 Trini-
dad federal seats, he dashed out at
the Indian community. They had
voted for the federation opposition,
the Democratic Labor Party.
The "anti-Indian" speech caused
sensation on Trinidad which sub
sided during the recent visit of
Princess Margaret and the inaugu-
ration of the federal Legislature.
But it has been revived with these
reports of Indian-bloc Cabinet res
ignations.
Criticism Voiced
The reason for Mr.. Williams los
ing political ground in the cleo
lions is not as simple as race. That
was part of 1.-THE voicing of the
Indians for the opposition-but the
taxation required to put through
the Williams program was an
other. Another was an attack on
Mr.. Williams regime as "one-man
rule" (He is accused of being
opinionated and dogmatic, which
thinking may also be behind any
Cabinet resignations.)
Yet the fascinating political
question in Trinidad today is, "Has

Supports Three Wives
]. E. Kwofie, a portly middle
aged man with three wives and
nine children, is dean of the eight
letter writer's licensed to operate
in the post office arcade. After
twenty-seven years he has the
choice corner table facing both
stalls of the open-air markets
across the side street and the dark
shops of the Levantine and Indian
merchants on the square.
Licenses cost $1.4O annually.
There are no educational require
ments but a man who cannot write
understandable English will not get
much business. Mr.. Kwofie, the
number of whose wives is a meas
ure of his prosperity, can also
write in the indigenous languages
of Twi, Ga and Fanti.
After learning the outline of the
sender's message, Mr.. Kwofie COM
poses with great concentration and
carefully reads each paragraph
aloud as it is finished, so the client
will know what he is paying for.
The reading tends to attract kib-
bitzers, especially for love letters,
and the must sometimes be shooed

Mr.. Kwofie estimates that about
three of every five letters he writes
are love letters, most of them from
migrant workers to their wives in
the Northern Territories.

Mechanical Cotton
Pickers Increased

Mechanical cotton pick s /,
stalled in recent years by federal
curbs on crops, are purring back
into popularity with Southern
growers. Sales of this equipment
in 1853 will be close to the rec
ords set it 1852 and 1858, accord
ing to manufacturers.
In the next few years, 65 per
cent of the cotton grown will be
medically picked, and the Mid
die South should reach that fig
ure in three years. Many South
ern ginners report ginning more
machine-picked cotton this year
than in the past few years.

The south's Biggest Challenge

North Carolina is fortunate in
that its limited school Indignation
plan apparently does not fall in
the "evasive schemes" category.
At least, that is the opinion of
Atty. Gen. Malcolm Seawell. The
imminent destruction of public
school programs in Arkansas and
Virginia points up the promise OF
our school assignment law and
its tolerance of limited desegre-
CATION as an alternative to mas
sive resistance and the forced
closure of schools.
The great South can no longer
afford to live in bitterness and
regret over this now dead issue.
1t is not now, and it never was,
a matter of whether one was for
or against compulsory school seq
regation. The question was not
whether one favored it or was
against it, but what could be
done. What one thought about u
couldn't change the law. The
Southern states started out on q,
program of legal resistance -
and that was right and proper.
But that is all over now.
We must adjust ourselves as
rapidly as possible to this new
way of life in public education.
We must build a new and better
tolerance and goodwill among all
our citizens, whatever personal
opinions they previously held on

Many may have been disap-
pointed but certainly few could
have been surprised when the
Supreme Court declined to re-
treat from the application of its
desegregation decision in the
Little Rock case.
The court could not have re-
treated under the circumstances
and maintained its dignity or up
held the majesty of the law it
had declared ..
Thus what has happened is
that Governor Faubus by his first
use of force in this matter has
only succeeded in bringing upon
his State and the South much
|swifter and more implacable en-
forcement of the decision than
would have been the case if he
had not acted in defiance
Governor Faubus can close the
schools. And that will be rene
dy which will be taken at the ex-
pense of the children of Arkansas
and nobody else 1t will mean
that to keep few Negro child
rem out of Central High School
all children will be shut out. He
may be followed by other gov
ernors in other states whose last
chance to deal with deliberate
speed with this problem has
been 1essened by the decision for
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1958-11-06

There can be no doubt what
soever today that the Supreme
Courts 1854 decision against
compulsory segregation in pub
lie schools, for reasons of race
alone, is and will remain the law
of the land.
Most Southern white people
favor the segregated school sys-
tenn and they are UNDERSTANDABLE
sad about this drastic change in
their way of life. Millions of
them have been misled for four
years by their local and state po-
litical leaders who have kept tell
ing them that the Supreme Court
could not legally act in this mat
ter and that the 14th Amendment
was not valid. These unhappy
people realize now that their
leaders were wrong on this ques-
ton and that the end of COM
pulsory segregation in public
schools is at hand.
A unanimous Supreme Court
told resisting Southerners and all
others that:
1.-The constitutional rights OF
children not to be Disseminated
against in school admission on
grounds of race or color can
neither be nullified openly and
directly by state legislators or
state executive or judicial Of
ficers, nor nullified indirectly by
them through evasive schemes
for segregation"

more than it protects it or its

The only other remedy would
be open defiance of the law of

attempted secession from the ma

situation tougher. Now is the
time for reasonable Southerners,
who have no intention of ceasing

so far only succeeded in hurting
the South, threatening its child

Dear P. D.:
It's about time / subscribed,
having gotten a big kick out of
your Petal Paper several times
since / learned that it's possible
for a "screwball" editor down
there to agree with few Yankee
ones who also keep publishing
these indignation ideas. Besides,
it isn't fair to keep borrowing
copies from my good friend ROE
here, because I'm already con-
WINGED that you're talking good
sense, and she ought to lend
them to somebody else instead.
Having lived south of the
Dixie line, no use giving credit to
those two Englishmen who ran it
out a couple of centuries ago -
they wouldn't have understood
all this nonsense we Yankees and
you Dixiecrats have had to put
up with from each other these
days - and if you and I are
both insulted by those names,
please excuse me for thinking in
Fstereotypes. ] know there are
good Yankees as well as DAM
yankees, but maybe the word
Dixiecrat is deteriorating nova
days. But, as say, having lived
some years down South / know
how good and bad ideas on race
are testing each other sorely dur
ing these times, right down there
in the cotton, pone corn and
1asses country.
But you haven't anything on
Ius. We're having right good
time ourselves getting ole Jim
Crow weeded out of our Yankee
cities, too. l hear tell some Rhode
Island Reds aren't too chicken to
be proposing new anti-segrega-
ton laws just now. BY this time
next year we hope it'll be un-
lawful for an red necks' here to
! turn away brown people from
houses for rent or sale just be-
cause they aren't white. And
they mean any houses at all, no
exceptions whatever. ! guess we
lust can't stand seeing New York
City get the edge on us on civil
rights over housing. ] just found
out why we've adopted h e
Rhode Island Red as our official
Estate bird. New York, you know,
got the bluebird - they're true
blue on civil rights, ] hear. We
had an embarrassingly lon 6
slave-trading era right here in
Providence, and then we had
some carpet Dagger hand us the
bird by reminding us how much
that old liberal Roger Williams,
who founded these plantations,
would: have frowned on us, and
we've been blushing about it
ever since. :!
