PREPARATIONS FOR First

prepare our children to share
in a better and fuller life-a
life of EQUAL OPPORTUNI-

we parents realize the big job

is necessary that all parents
realize that bringing up chill

should realize that to be a

all a SENSE OF HUMOR.
Add to this the finesse of dip

who will probably do a good
job of preparing her children
for the complex and complicat-
cd business of living. The
indulgent and overload moth
er who spoils her child is do
ing both herself and the child
an injustice. A spoiled child
is generally an unhappy child
and always an unpopular one.
A well known psychologist
says. "The child who loses
its temper, that leases, that is
petulant and disobedient, and
nuisance to everybody, is
merely a victim, poor little
thing, of parents who have
been to incompetent or negli-
gent to train it to obedience.
Moreover, that same child,
when grown will be the first
to resent and blame the moth
er's mistaken spelling" and
lack of good sense"

Boulay, but the denial was
taken with more than a grain
of salt.
French political men are
also fearful of John Ken
nedy's actions in the foreign
affairs field if he should be
elected. The Democratic
standard bearer expressed
himself very bluntly from
the Senate floor some three
years ago concerning Algeria.
He strongly advocated in
dependence for that North
African portion of France
inhabited by a vast majority
of Arabs. The fact that his
speech was inspired by repre-
sentatives of Algerian Arab
rebels in New York irked
seriously the French policy
makers who insist that it is
up to the French government
alone to decide what Solu.'
tions should be adopted for
troubled Algeria.
In the 10 months since the
death of John Foster Dulles
our allies have not been
particularly happy over our
foreign policies. However,
they attributed the blunders
committed to lack of vision
and to weakness rather than
a change of attitude toward
the goal of arresting interna-
tional communism. 80

are required to live in sep
arate sections Of the cities
or in reservation areas. This
Is known as apartheid. The
real issue now is whether
the whites will survive.
The efforts of the whites
in South Africa to maintain
an orderly system Of govern
ment are being thwarted by
boycotts begun by other
countries where black or dark
races predominant. These
boycottS are hurting all
races and producing large
scale unemployment. Ghana
and Malaga are the two
countries which are leading
the boycott movement. This
form of economic warfare is
being encouraged by whites
and white organizations in
Europe which know very lit
tie about the conditions in
South Africa. AS one writer
in Cape Town puts it:
"It isn't as If we were
dealing with Europeans who
happen to have black skins.
We are face to face with
millions of blacks who have
not emerged from a state of
savagery."
Another letter, from a man
who until recently was edi-
tor-in-chief of a daily news
paper in Johannesburg,
South Africa, says:
"Boycotts and other forms
of harmful interference can
only tap our not-too-plenti-
full resources, retard develop
ment, and injure the inter-
ests of the very non-whiteS
who are pitied as the under

In point of fact. the white
man is the potential under
dog in this world of artificial
black martyrdom and mis-
directed sympathy-and this
goes for the white man in
Europe, America. Australia
and New Zealand, no less
than for the whites in either
South Africa or other parts
of Africa. Make no mistake,
white survival is indivisible,
and by this I mean the
permanent assets and values
of Western civilization and
democracy. poised as they
now are against the overpow-

fully recovered from the last
war. 1t has become richer
and more prosperous than it
was between World Wars I
and II. The peoples of con-
tinental Europe who suffered
unprecedented devastation
have learned that in order to
avoid repetition of the hor-
rors of war they must live to-
gether in full harmony. They
believe. that because of the
uncertainties Of alliances and
the existence of threats to
their very existence, they
must combine their forces
and organize what could be
described as a third force
between the two giants, the
USA and USSR.
The miracle performed by
Gen. de Gaulle since his re-
turn to power was not the
complete recovery of France,
but the establishment of a
firm German French alli-
ance. All continental Europe
is expected to adhere, not for
theological but for practical
reasons.
Europe feels now that with
it's population about as large
as that of the Soviet Union
and with resources and skills
which excel those of the So
viets it should be able to
survive without relying, as in
the past, on American sup
port. This does not mean a
weakening of the existing
ties between us unless un-
predictable developments in
American politics force such
a weakening.

Western Leaders Believed Uneasy
Over Policies of Nixon and Kennedy

The conference last week
between President Charles de
Gaulle and Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer is expected to
speed up preparations for
political integration of the
six nations which comprise
the Common Market in West
ern Europe.
Information this reporter
has received recently indi-
Gates there is uneasiness
among the Western European
leaders over the future pol
icies of the United States.
While the platforms of both
our political parties pledged
continuation of the struggle
against International COM
munism and increased ef-
forts to advance the cause
OF peace, a number of hard
bitten political men in West
ern European capitals are
concerned over Americas
future foreign policy should
the Democratic ticket be
elected in November. They
expect Moscow to resume its
drive for co-exiStence and
Summitry and fear that the
Democratic leaders may Sue
cumb to these advances.
Western Europeans look
askance at the resumption of
such negotiations. Their his
tory of centuries of expert
ence with deals between great
powers causes them to fear
that a Washington Moscow
agreement might be reached
at their expense.
Some European political
observers fear the platform
announced in Los Angeles
may not remain the actual
blueprint for foreign policy
Of Democratic administra-
ton. This suspicion is based
on recent expressions of some
Of its leaders. It is assumed
in Paris, London and Berlin
that Adlai Stevenson will
play a very important role
even II he does not become
Secretary Of State - in
formulation Of a Democratic
administrations foreig n
policies.
Mr.. Stevenson's informal
interview with a French
newspaper a n, Robert
Boulay, indicating an ap-
peasement attitude toward
the Soviet Union created q
furore not only in France but
throughout Western Europe
He denied the interview and
the implications drawn by Mr.
