What The South Needs Is Truth
Not The Putnam Letters

Not me futndm Letters
Those who recall assertions, both before and
after the 1854 decision of the United States Supreme
Court that change on the part of the NAACP the
leader of the Negroes of the nation from it's demand for
equalization of education to it's demand for immediate
Indignation of education, would become ralyng point
for and the most reactonary forces in the nation
and defer rather than hasten the full emancipation of the
American Negro can have further doubts, at least
in the first instance upon reading the Putnam Letters
now being published in daily newspapers throughout the
nation
AS we read Mr. Putnam's dissertations we are con-
strained to say that what Mississippi the SOUTH and in
deed the entire nation needs is the simple truth and
not Mr. Putnam's Letters
The simple truth that Mississippi the South, and
indeed the entire nation needs be found in the his
tory and culture of what we call western civilization
10 discover for our readers of the simple
truth which Mississippi the South and the nation needs
in these times of crisis in relations in this nation
and throughout the world we take brief look here at
the history and culture of what call Western Civil
lzatlon which from the time of the English conquest
of the Spanish Amanda, until say the beginning of the
second world war; embodied the world ideal and idea
of white supremacy.
Ir the England of the years Immediately before and
after the conquest of the Spanish Amanda the con-
science of the nation srckened by the reports of
slaughter brutality, murder and rape by which English
Seamen, Adventures and pirates were obtaining the
wealth OF other people, and taking their lands to the
extent that Engshmen could boast that the sun
rises nor sets on the British Empire
During this period, Edmund Burke the great Eng
hsn lawyer, statesman and philosopher made his fam
Gus argument for the conviction of Warren Hastings
head OF the company engaged in overseas exploitation
and exploration IN the of the British Crown
Following Burkes argument and with further stories of
brutality slaughter, and murder from abroad the
then British Prime Minister felt called upon to appear
before Parliament and remind the English people that
the other people about whom they were so concerned
are black brown and yellow thus giving rise to the idea
OF white supremacy which through the years became
the naturalization for British World Conquest and
Colonial Policy.
Immediately after the statement of the then British
Prime Minister giving rise to the idea of White Su-
premacy the greatest minds of the empire including
Shakespeare and Darwin called upon as patrons
OF the British Crown to support the new idea and ere
long the whole fabric of education and philosophy was
mace It's servant Shakespeares contribution was his
Othelo and Darwin came back to arouse doubts
ABOUT the origin of the Species after the truths re-
vealed in his Voyage of the Beagle"
Upon the discovery of America and the birth of
TINS nation with its ideal and ideas almost totally in
Iuenced by England after the beginning of what we
know as American Education the nation was to become
Dotn startled and frightened by the writings of such
supporters of white supremacy Lothdrop Stoddard
the Harvard Professors books and articles on the Rs
ing Tide of Color, and The Yellow Menance; and the
pseudo Count Gobenau, the notorious French fraud
posing as an authority anhropoogy race and every
tnng aeahng with race, who later repudiated by
every learned society and university in the world
w. Shortly after the beginning of the Second World
war tne then British Colonial Secretary if not the Prime
Minister announced that from thence forward there
would DE no more subjects of the British Crown but
nat all the people, regardless of color race would be
Cltzens OF the British Empire thus marking the end
of it's usefulness to the empire and the end of the
British supported world idea of White Supremacy which
was to see in our time beginning with India and Ghana
the rise OF coored Independent state and citizens within
the British Commonwealth of Nations
Further signalling the death of World White Su-
premacy, only yesterday to speak, from over in
Myasaland in British Africa the assertion of the
White British Governor General that there will be no
social legislation and that f people want to mix that's
their business" '
Sometime before it's abandonment by the British
following the spread of reading of the works of Eges
Marx Lenln and Trotsky the world idea of White Su-
premacy had already met another and greater challenge
mat OF communism which is embodied in the aims of the
SOVIET Empire Communism has also it's prosoytes who
has been attempting to influence education in order to
OBTAIN It's aims and thus the distortions of sociology
psychology, religion, and other subjects dealing with
mans relationship with man.
Taxing our que from the Putnam Letters in this
Time OF crisis in relations in this country and in
the rest of the world is time for us to rid our hearts
and minds of the fasehoods and distortions of both
British Invented White Supremacy and Russian Com
munism. ~
;. The salvation of Mississippi the South and the ma
ton and the rest of the world as we'll can be found in
this simplest OF all truths out of one blood God created
all the nations for to dwell upon the face of the Earth
