SOLID INDEPENDENT SOUTH

might dominate even the Republi-
can arty while remaining
Democratic at home with the home
power that connotes? The COP is
frustrated enough to put the COM
nonsense of the present Southern
situation over political history and
past practice.
Mignon Conner Smith, president
OF the Young Republicans here in
Birmingham reports being greatly
heartened' after a talk with Vice
President Nixon, master politician
and guide of the party. Admitting
that troops to Little Rock hurt the
party grievously, he commented
significantly that in spite Of this
IS per cent of Negro votes in the
North went to Democrats last year.
This line of thought could take him
far.
AS for being an honorary men,
Der Of the NAACP, the Vice Presi-
dent denied it. The denial is some
what technical, but the fact of wish
ing denial made is the point.
The troops to Little Rock were
unforgivable, but how forgive Adlai
Stevenson's remark that he would
have sent them sooner?
Meanwhile more and more people
around the country are quoting the
President as stating privately that
he opposed and opposes the deseg-
regation decision. He has refused
publicly time and again to endorse
it. He alone, of leaders in the par
ties, has been willing thus to offend
the NAACP.
Oh, for the Imagination, daring
and leadership on the Republican
Party's part and the South's part to
cooperate nationally as they do
congressionally!
The South remaining Democratic
at home, gave almost majority
to the Republican nominee in 1862,
an actual majority in 1856. And for
IS years it has shared control Of
Congress with Republicans.
But unless Republicans make
concessions, are willing to sacri-
flee, the South will never be per
suaded to repeat and-or surpass
1852 and 1856, even though the
situation calls for even more of
revolution now.
The m ore practical hope, of
course, is for restraints imposed on
the Democratic Party by a South
come free to its convention and
known to be free.
Be these things as may, every
consideration in political sight ex-
cept the pap and patronage of Ger
tain politicians cries for a free
Democratic South and free Re-
publican South.

naturally, being closer to the Capitol. They
came by buses, private cars and we under

group. Many stood for two hours before
the hour-long program. They knew what
they wanted; they were serious in their
opinions; they understood the constitu-

On The Brink Again

THE United States finds itself in a posi-
ton whereby another round of summit
conferences can hardly be avoided Because
Of the position Of our allies. and the inter
national situation, it is probably necessary
to participate,
1t Is unfortunate, of course. that the talks
will naturally revolve around an artificial
crisis - the Berlin crisis It should be kept
in mind that the reason for the L. S. re-
luctance to join in summit talks at this
time has been based on the belief that there
was no crisis other than the one artificialy
manufactured by Premier Nikita khrush-
chev in Moscow
Obviously, there would be no crisis if
Khrushchev agreed to turn over the Rus
sian role in Berlin and East Germany to
the East Germans, STIMULATING : in the
normal fashion - that the East Germans
were to live up to the commitments Of the
Russians in honoring allied supply routes.
However, the Russians mischievousv hint
that the East Germans will not honor the
commitments made by Russia. as far as II.

concerned, thereby threatening war

THERE are indications that President

However, in the Iraqi affair. Nasser fin

and attacked communists not only in the

assaulted communism in general. This is
further than Nasser has ever gone in at

Boston, March "a - John Thorn

jump record, injured his left foot
today in an elevator accident at
a Boston University dormitory.

The 6-foot, Az Inch Boston Uni

He suffered a severe lacera-
tions and multiple bruises of the
foot. However X-rays taken fol-

tendons that lift his toes for him"
Thomas was expected to be side
lined for six to eight weeks. He
was expected to be back in class

One school is convinced that
Asian survival in Africa is I'M
avoidably linked with the whites.
In 1856 the Kenya Indian leader
N. S. Mangat spanked a contro-
versy when he declared:
eve Undians) must end the
fifty-year feud with the European
community. $50 Our self-inter-
est ordains that we should be in
favor of the British connection in
Kenya."
His view ran contrary to the
oft-repeated advice of Prime Min
lister Jawaharlal Nehru to Indians
in Africa to identify themselves
with Africans. Supporters of his
view thought this was the only
sound thing to do eff the fate of
Indians in Africa was to be diff
ferent from that of their imperial
list friends"
But to many Indians it seems
that whatever they do their fate
will be worse than that of their
imperialist friends"
African mobs have threatened
Indians generally even more vio-
lently than they have threatened
those of European descent.
A People In The Middle
The Indians in Africa are truly
in the middle. In the economic
development of the continent they
have stood closely with the whites
They often have been accused of
exploiting the Africans for their
own political gain.
Yet their own interests, whether
political, economic or social, do
not coincide with the special in
terests of either the Africans OF
the whites.
In any conflict between the
whites and the Africans, the In
dams are always on the sidelines
divided and insure of them
selves or their future, and always
a subsidiary target for both whites
and Africans.
Bitter and resentful at the So
cial segregation practiced against
them in Africa, they are embar-
raised at the similar treatment
given to African students at uni
versities in India.
These students, mostly from East
Africa, are the futuer leaders OF
African nationalism. They return
home with little love for the In
dams.
