clubs came from white people.
The colored people are the big
losers. for club supporters will
simply not be forced into in
shutting practices not con-
sidered in their own social
interest.
This is. for the time being
at least, a democracy, and the
will of the majority of the
people should be presumed to
prevail. /, for one, would be
most happy to see this inte-
grafton issue be put squarely
to the American people for a
vote. If it is the decision Of
the many by democratic proc
ess that indignation is to be,
then the NAACP can go out
of business. If, however, the
majority wish to maintain
social customs long in being,
it would i'll behoove the rela-
tive few to impose their posi-
ton on the many.

If those so-called white
supremacy theorists would
glance at our Declaration of
independence they would read
something about all men be-
ing created equal, no matter
what their race. creed or
color. Have the Italians, Eng
lish. French, Germans, ETC.,
ever been harassed to the
point that they are like dogs
who are trying to share the
horses stable when storms
are raging? The comparison
is very similar. If the Negroes
had been accepted as human
beings just as soon as they
were freed nearly 100 years
ago. and taught the summary
subjects by those who were
qualified. they would have
advanced to the point that
color would have no bearing
on their rating or proficiency
in any job or position. Every
one knows that up until a few
years ago the schoolhouSe of
the Negro was something that
all Of us should be ashamed
Of. 1t might be added that
their teachers were not much
better. They were trying but
not qualified. No wonder their
progress has been slow. 1t has
been the whites fault that
the Negro has been retarded
in education.
Cut Federal aid from all
schools that will not accept
every American citizen.
The condition of the world
today, with heather forces
threatening on all sides,
makes it imperative that all
ITS million of us unite if we
are to survive.

Your coverage of the Vir-
ginia school dilemma seems
fair to this intermittent
reader. Congress has an OBJ
legation. as David Lawrence
has at last proven, to
straighten out right now this
propagating of i'll feeling and
chaos by a capriciouS court
that invades the legislative
branch to do the mischief of
the NAACP.
Armed aggression against
any State, any segment or
race of our people is ugly.
It is not in the same basket
of freedom sought and fought
for at the expense of our
forefathers' blood. 1t is
equally inconsistent with the
Sermon on the Mount. Diff
ferenceS exist that are, of
course, solely of divine orr
gin. 1t does violence to nat
ural law. to our first cause.
to force one upon another.
Compulsory, forceful inte-
grafton, more than political
dynamite. is the rape of truth,
beauty and love, whether you
follow Christ, Confucius or
the birds and bees. 1t makes
one wonder if President
Eisenhower really loves the
dove.

Why all the allege d
CONSERVATION at the idea of
closing public schools? If "in-
struction" is along progress

NEA parasites from teachers
colleges, children who do not
attend school are surely much
better off than those who do.
