THE PETAL PAPER

and still think back with plea
sure to the years / spent in his
company. With the above back
ground, I feel ] can look at the
problem from both sides.
When the gentlemen of the
Supreme Court decided segrega-
ton was not legal they had no
idea that desegregation would be-
come effective overnight.
If the white men thinks he is
superior to the Negro, he should
act that way. Certain university
students have shown themselves
greatly inferior to the Negro.
The Negro race has an oppor-
tunity today such as never before
if it will realize that desegregation
will come only through under
standing, education, patience, ana
love. Let the Negro urge modera-
ton on his people and discourage
the aggressiveness now being used
bv a few of their number.
Nothing was ever won oy
bloodshed and no good can come
from the violence now displayed
between the two races. There are
many years of prejudice to be
overcome and this will take time.

KNOWN ROUND THE WORLD
A Russian Tragedy

thoritarian regime, communism,
to a book which Mr.. Pasternak
did not regard as a political novel
but as a picture of half-century
in Russian life. The episode un-
derscores comments of two of the
principal characters:
The great majority of us are
required to live life of constant.
systematic duplicitY -.
The great misfortune :. was
the loss of faith in the value of
personal opinion.
The violence of the Soviet re-
action describing the award itself
as s'hostile political act" speaks
the great incapacity of the Mar
xist state to countenance even the
slightest criticism or unconformi-
tv. Such an attitude is a mark of
fear as well as ruthlessness. 1t is
in contrast to the tolerance, even
pride, with which Americans have
regarded similar prizes to such
mordant writer's as Sinclair Lewis
and William Faulkner.
For communism operates not
merely to deprive men of proper
ty but also to stop their mouths
and minds.

Both Sides

I should like to commend your
paper on the feature short time
ago. "Some Southerners Speak"
I thought the comments mace
were rational and well-stated,
and brought out the need Tor
calmness, intelligence, and ration
ality on the part of all people
sincerely interested IN seeing a
practical and reasonably har-
monious adjustment made in the
present situation in the South.
Little will be accomplished under
the present circumstances while
extremists of both sides appear
to have the spotlight.
The efforts made by your pa
per to present both sides of this
issue, as well as others, are GER
tainly appreciated, and mucn
more effective in contributing TO
the greatest good for all.
