eyes, if We could only look,
one of the great tragedies of
our national history; a revolt
being led by men who have
so much to offer the country
if their minds were not para
lyzed by sectional bitterness" :"
Plttman goes on to say that
some of the finest national
statesmen we have had since
the beginning of this nation have
been produced in the south.
''They have taken an effective
lead in dealing with internation-
al affairs, and in defining and
understanding the role of gov
ernment," he said.
Today, Pittman pointed out,
we Southerners find We are be-
coming isolationist, both sec
tionally and internationally, al
though some of the great archi-
tects of national responsibility to
the world and Democracy were
oouthernerS.
I'VE find we are tolerating
and even encouraging political
quackery of any brand in the
South which helps to buttress
our attacks on the federal
government. This includes all
the strident charges of Commu-
nism in high places, the church
es and elsewhere.
"We find ourselves aligned
too often with men like Myers
G. Lowman and others whose
positions are questionable, if for
no other reason than they are
radical and not in keeping with
the nobility and dignity of the
South.
Like Edmond Ruffin. whose
talents were lost to the South
in 1865 when he wrapped him
self in Confederate blanket
and took his own life in dis
appointment at the South'S de-
feat, our Southern talents are
being lost to the nation because
we are consuming our talents in
a fight over one bitter issue"
