Rift In The Commonwealth
From the New York Times

The Commonwealth Conference of Prime Ministers
ended IN London yesterday with this remarkable nsti
tuition shaken and weakened South Aricas nsistence
at the Ilday meeting its aparthid policy has caused
serious breach in the ten-naton group and this fact
the bland final communique only half conceals.
The worst fears of those who worried in advance
about the South African probe improved justified Ev-
cry other member of the Commonwealth opposed the
perncous doctrine of racial segregation Members like
India, Pakstan, Ceyon Ghana and Malaga felt strong
y about it. However, to begin with, they all hoped to
avoid open split and keep discussions of aparthed in
formal and private.
This hope shattered when the South African
Minister for External Affairs Eric Louw gave press
conference on May which Defiance as we'll as an
insult to everybody's intelligence. The Maayan Prime
Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman was so incensed that
he broke off his private talks with Mr. Louw and de-
nounced him publicly. On Monday of this week the
its invitation to Mr.. Louw to visit Accra Both these
moves were unprecedented in Commonwealth meetings
Prime Minister Nehru of India had already asked wheth
er the Commonwealth not so vague and indef-
mite as to be unable to face to basic problems
he apartheid problem basic. The Common
wealth is either multiracal organization or is moth
ing This, at least, recognized in the final COM
munque, which also took stand South Africa that
doubtless was as strong of implied censure
as was possible under the rules of the Club South
Africa wanted assurance that if it holds referendum
later this year and decides to become republic it can
still remain in the Commonwealth This guarantee was
refused for the first time The South African Govern
ment must ask for the consent of the other Common
wealth Governments when it is ready to change it's
form of government and from present Indications it
will be blackballed.
The Commonwealth carries on but it has taken
hard knock.

The Last Civil RIGHTS Law

Up in Washington the other day President Esen-
hover signed the 1860 Civil Rights Law, act of the
Congress of the United States that provoked
thusiasm from the professional advocate of civil rights
for Negroes and their camp followers.
In commenting on the 1860 civil rights law
Senator said that the law with it's amendments at that
time, meaning of course the paper which it writ
ten would weigh about nine pounds Consider this
bulk of reading in order to get understanding of
the law, along with all the other civil rights laws the
federal salute books, and most anyone can imagine
what work any lawyer will have to do matter how
gifted to wade through this vast of legal tange
in presenting involving the 1860 law, which will
inevitably go back to all the other laws enacted in it's
wake.
With all the different kinds of civil rights laws on
the federal statute books which actually goes back to
the 18th, 14h and 18th amendments to the Constitu
ton of the United States but for brief period say
during the period from 1916 to 1854 there has been
little evidence of the development of National
public opinion in support of such laws, which every
lawyer, well every other intelligent American
knows most come to exist before any kind of civil
rights law can have full force and effect
During the period of the last four or five years
when the clamor for Congressional enactment of Civil
Rights laws has been in full swing can see nothing
but furtherance of the determination to resist the
part of those at whom such laws are aimed with no
contribution whatever towards the development of
favorable public opinion
With such view and understanding we are unable
to see how any sincere friend of the Negro@can Join
in call for the enactment of any more civil rights
laws. Indeed in opinion all true friends of the Ne
we'll join in the hope that the 1860 act will be
the last of the civil rights laws.

The first plan will permit anyone

archive materials. A committee
has been chosen to process these

and to inform you when to submit
them to the library. The second

under disciplinary action of the
church for conduct in office. How
ever it was announced Tuesday
that Bishop Sims had been restor-
ed to full Bishop status. Votes for
the restoration of Bishop Nichols
was $50 for and 401 against.
Much tension existed over the
case of Bishop Nichols. However
there were reports Thursday that
the Judicial Committee has come
to realize that it must face squar-
ely the case of Bishop Nichols
without regard to the popularity
or unpopularity of its decision.
The conference Monday took
the initial step in launching a
Universal Year for Human rights
for 1868. A resolution called for
cooperative planning projects with
fellow protestants, the Catholic
Church, the Jewish Church, and
Gods children everywhere of all
faiths. Assistance will be sought
from the Government Of the
United States.
/ Commenting on the far reaching
implications of the proposal, Bish-
OPP George w Barber, President
Of the Bishops Council expressed
the hope that persons of skill in
the field of human rights would
pool their talents for the good of
humanity. Social engineering is

venire from which a jury for the
trial was to be selected.

In addition to the score obtained

DON'T FAIL TO TRAIN THE
CHILD IN TIME
The Bible says to train the child
And do not spare the rod at all
Millions of you are not training
your children today
Giving the child an education and
throwing the rod away.
You are filling the world up with
soldiers
Airplanes and a better army gun
But what we need is more God
fearing people today
And applying the rod on our
daughters and sons.
A disobeying child usually don't
have the rod
Applied to him at all
Making that a member of Gods
House today
No rod applied to the child
And the parents allowing him to
have his way.
The thing that we all should do
today
To be the right example for your
child
Do not rob them of the things
they need
And do not make him man before
it is worthwhile.
You can't train a grown child
today
If you try this a mistake you have
made you will see
1t takes a rod to the child to make
him obey
So don't spare the rod on your
children today.
Stop making men and women
Out of girls and boys today
When Sunday School is all over
Allow them to go somewhere and
play. '-i
Keep loving children in their
company
They now belong, so do not give
them freedom
To go and come in late you see
Because soon you won't know
a where he will he.
Mothers and fathers you are doing
wrong
When you allow your child to have
his own way
1t is not good for them in this life
To start way that will never pay
Old people, we should stay out of
the way
And allow the young people to
enjoy their day
Some of our children are grown
too early
And leaving home a great big
hurry.
We should always help our friends
friends
To keep their children on the
right line
When Sunday School is out you
: see
Tell them that home is the best
place to be.
