wife feels that the United States and Britain
selfish and materaiStc in their outlook
and that therefore the smaller nations think
they see Interior motives rather than genuine
brotherhood behind their gestures of aid.
This point of view Is, however, not alto
gether shared by another member of her
family who, strongly pro-British as many
JamacanS are, feels that the Anglo American
partnership is proving a real answer to the
threat of communism in places like India and
the Middle East without relaxing the stand
ards, principles and disciplines which gain the
respect of the little people of the world.
Language Spread Hailed
1t is the opinion of several of the Jamaican
Smiths that one of the most effective weap-
ons that the West has is the fact that English
is rapidly becoming the lingua-franca of the
world This-together with the freer move
ment of people Including President Eisen-
hover, British Prime Minister Harold Mac
milan, and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
chew from one country to another-and the
resultant exchange of ideas seem the best
ways of communicating the benefits of the
Western way of life to other nations.
One student of world affairs suggests that
the theology of the East has had and will
continue to have considerable effect on the
West that when the history of this age is
written 800 years from now it will be seen
that it hasn't been East versus West, de-
mocracy versus communism, we versus they,
but rather mankind working out their global
problem"

torian to observe that another equally revo-
lutionary change has taken place in every

of humiliation for all.
These two factors. amenities and annihila-
ton, now affecting the thinking of all
people and Jamaican career girl of Asiatic
ancestry feels that "our hope for peace lies in
the understanding between nations of each

nalist settled in Jamaica with a Jamaican wife
who says: ''Many of Jamaicas unemployed
have only themselves to blame for being I'M
employable. Our ethnic harmony goes far to
prevent people adopting the excuse that they
are downtrodden and unfairly dealt with"
He also points out that what colored people
need to avoid however, is the role of the pro-
fessional Negro; he has no place in the
world"
One cannot avoid the conclusion that al
though there are family quarrels and a con-
siderable lack of conscious thought on world
problems among the mass of the population,
the Smiths of Jamaica and the West Indies
are presenting to the world considerable liv-
ing evidence of their federal motto taken
from the opening verse of the 133d Psalm by
showing that it is possible for people of many
strains ITO dwell together in unity"

ACHIEVEMENT is a good measure of
"a country's thinking. In Jamaica, Joe and
L N Mary Smith have only recently begun
to think in global terms: only recently
have nuclear science, jet aircraft, and West
Indian Federation made the Smiths realize
that they are citizens of a fast-shrinking
world. But for quite long time the Smiths,
in their island miCrocoSm, have been thinking
consciously as we'll as intuitlVely in terms of
brotherhood. Their achievement indicates this
Jamaica's social pattern-With people of
Negro, English, Chinese, Spanish, Indian,
Jewish, Syrian, and other bloods of varying
proportions fused together in an indiscrimi-
nate and yet strangely homogeneous society
is powerful evidence that the CuffeeS, HabblbS,
Wongs, Isaacsteins, Duvals, Dadlanis, Fon-
secaS, Browns, and Smiths of the world cannot
only live together happily, but intermarry
hold democratic elections, and build up
stable economy.
So when Joe and Mary Smith of Jamaica in
the new Federation of the West Indies are
asked about international relationships they
naturally turn to their own lives and social
structure for precept and example. A maid in
a middle-ncome jamaican home knows little
about the problems of the East but she has
experience of group action in political
organization and she says: eff we can all get
together in my district and vote together, all
the people of the world must and can get
together, too! Just in small groups at first,
district by district as we do, and work for
the same aim"
Suspicion. Remains
Although great admirers of American prog
ress and technology, many Jamaicans are sus-
picious of American anti-Negro dscrimna-
ton and feel that until the United States
can demonstrate equality in the South. the
people of Asia Africa and lands where skins
are of varied shades are likely to take Ameri-

friendship only perfunctorly

take look at how some of the small coun-
tries have learnt to live in peace with them
selves and each other.
Il realize the dangers of the materialistic
approach TO life but as long there remain
vast areas of poverty alongside the wealth of
the Anglo American combine it is difficult
for Communist countries to believe in democ-
racy. If the economic and chronological aid
to poor and undeveloped countries flows
freely from the democracies then the inter
est in communism in uncommitted countries
will lessen"
Teen-Ager Speaks Up.
More and more, the idea of international
responsibility at the level of the individual is
awakening in Jamaican thought, and when
one remembers that the world of the future
depends great deal on the thoughts of the
young people today it is interesting ito hear
a jamaican teen-age say: Each individual
must take up his share of the responsibility
to the other fellow. You've got to do two
things about the next man: see his point of
view and get him to see yours" This is big
change from the thinking of the past genera
tons of JamalcanS who were inclined to re-
gard the problems of the world as far beyond
the reach of individual Jamacans or even
Jamaica as whole to affect.
Despite the apparent possibility of atomic
war there is a persistent note of optimism,
doubtleSSly favored by the "it can't happen
here-sm'' of country untouched by war or
battle for centuries but which roots itself
in this fundamental faith in mans reason ex-
pressed by one Jamaican Mrs. Smith: II can't
believe that men with enough brains to pro-
duce these great scientific achievements will
not realize the utter folly of an atomic war"
When it was pointed out that her vis-a-vis
in non-Communst Central Europe might
have equally strong but totally opposite views
this Mrs. Smith asserted, eve are in better
position to judge the future than those I'M
fortunate people who are so close to danger
because we are freer of tensions. We must
help them with prayer and encouragement"
Population Pressure Felt
To many the explosive force of expanding
populations is as serious and more likely to
detonate than nuclear bomb. The problem
of population growth is seldom far from the
thinking Jamaican's concern not only because
it seems real threat to his country's eco
nomic progress but also because it appears to
be so far from the thought of the prolific Ja-

THE PETTIGREW FAMILY of
the Tyrrell County area is GO
ing to be reviewed for its value
to the history of his state. DR.. C.
o. Cathey, UNC professor of his
tory, has received a Kenan leave
the fall semester of 1960-61 in
order to edit the Pettigrew family
papers for publication by the North
Carolina State Department of Ar
chives and History.
"The Department of Archives
and History has done an outstand-
ing job since about 1900 in pub
fishing significant material that
has a bearing on the history of
this state" said Cathey. 1.-THE
Pettigrew collection is one of the
most extensive and significant I'M
published collections of family pa
pers, with relevance to the history
of this state, section, and nation,
available in our libraries"
"The Pettigrew family has had
a long and distinguished record of
service to this state in a variety
of ways" Cathey said.
Its most famous son was James
Johnston Pettigrew, senior vale
dictorian Of the University Of
North Carolina class of 1e47.
Pettigrew fought heroically in the
War Between the States, reaching
the climax of his career in the
Battle of Gettysburg when he and
his command penetrated farther
than any other division into enemy
lines. He was killed while the
Southern Army was in retreat in
1868.
DIR. Cathey graduated from
Davidson College and joined the
University of North Carolina facul-
ty in 1888. Since 1866, he has been
chairman of the faculty commit
tee on scholarship awards and
student aid.

the atmosphere in which he worked
he expressed desire to become q

and aware that the race issue was
