Special Correspondence


CHICAGO - DIR. j. H. Jack
son of Chicago was reelected
for his tenth term as president
of the National Baptist Con-
vention of the u. S. A. Inc. at
the 82nd annual session here
last week. The convention al
so approved the purchase of
1OO,O0 acres of la ndin Lii
IBERIA for an agricultural COM
munity.
Dr.. Jackson was reelected
following his annual message
without any opposition. He
told the delegs 'es gathered in
the Coliseum:
"We must seize every op-
pOrtunity, new and old, in or
der to become creators as
well as consumers of goods. :"
CONTINUING, the leader
of the five million member
organization said:
I'VE must become inventors
as well as users of the tools
of production and also the in
vestors of capital as we'll as
the spenders of it. We must
learn how to organize our cap
ital and set to ..ork for us
so we may produce more and
finally develop independent
factories and companies of
our own He added:
"FREED men are not real
ly free until they learn to ex-
ercise heir new acquired op-
portunities to gain for them
selves the economic, intellec-
tual, political, moral and
spiritual independence and
self-reliance. 4"
The negotiations for the pur-
chase of land in Liberia were
initiated by DR.. Julian A.
Taylor of Ansonia, Conn. who
went to Liberia recently to
contact government officials
for the convention. He said
the convention hoped to COM
plete the transactions this
year. He declined to reveal
the purchase price.
DR.. Taylor said the conven-
ton expects to begin clear
ing the land next year.

Was the Public Served?
we can understand I

we can understand the desire of
parents to have their children attend
school in their own community and
their opposition to shifts that would
break well established ties to a particu-
lar school, In such fast-growing areas
as Fairfax County. however, such
changes become inevitable from time to
time in order to keep pace with popula-
ton trends. And in weighing the build
ing and the location of new schools and
the reassignment Of pupils resulting
therefrom, the welfare of the general
public, rather than the wishes of special
groups, ought to be the prime considera-
ton. Yet, from all the evidence, it ap-
pears that, in backing away from any
redistricting plan for the school system,
the Fairfax County School Board has
ignored the general public interest and
yielded to pressures from parents with
special interests.
The facts of the case are that new
$2.6-million high school at Tyson's
Corner will not be opened as planned
next November, that two other new
high schools will be only partly occupied
and that existing school buildings in
Mclean and elsewhere will be badly
overcrowded- because some parents
have objected vociferously to the trans
fer of their children from schools they
now attend. The School Board decided,
albeit reluctantly, to keep the Tysons
Corner school closed indefinitely after
its completion in order to placate the
irate parents who opposed any transfer.
This decision cannot be reconciled
with common sense. We agree with
former Fairfax Superintendent of
Schools Woodson that it is absurd" to
pay millions for new school and then
allow it to lie idle, while other schools
have overlooking classes.

Jobs for Neqroes

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and the Washington Urban
League are to be commended for their
cooperative effort to increase job OPP
portunities for Negroes. AS the associa-
ton pointed out in letter to its 1856
member firms, an overwhelming ma
jority Of the unemployed in Washington
are Negroes. We believe that the asso-
citation also is entirely correct when it
says that great many of these unem-
ployed persons will never have the
qualifications necessary for proper job
placement unless the community as a
whole undertakes a cooperative ap-
proach devoid of any compulsion"
This is precisely the approach which
these two organizations, after months
OF discussion and study, have embarked
upon. AS beginning, the names and
backgrounds of Negroes who already
possess specialized Skills will be pro-
vided on the request of firms which
require such personnel. Perhaps there
is even a greater potential for benefit
in two other steps which will be taken
the encouragement of Negro participa-
ton in company training and appren-
ticeShip programs, and the encourage
ment of specialized training courses in
high schools and colleges of the area.
Necessarily this Is program which
will progress slowly at first, a pros
pect which has been anticipated by
the creation of joint committee of
the Urban League and the merchants
association to periodically review and
evaluate what needs to be done. In the
long run, however, the success of the
effort will be determined by the atti-
tude of individual business men in the
community.

Friendly u. N. Critic

President Kennedy says there GER
tainly is mo disagreement" between
Senator Jackson and himself in connec-
ton with the formers comments on the
United Nations. If so this is astonishing
to say the least. For Senator Jackson's
remarks can only be read as a sharp
criticism of policies followed by the Ken
nedy administration land also by Gen.
eral Eisenhower in relation to the U.N.
Senator Jackson is friendly critic.
AS Democratic National Chairman, he
directed the Kennedy campaign in 1860.
He Is also friend of and a supporter of
the U.N. in its appropriate field. What
he objects to, as we read his speech, is
q tendency to substitute the United Ma
lions for our own leaders-the President
and the Secretary of State-aS makers
and movers of American policy"
The Washington Democrat thinks
that the test Of the national security
process is this: Does it identify our vital
interests and does it develop foreign
and defense policies which will defend
and promote these interests? Obviously,
he believes that our national security
process" in these respects leaves much
to be desired, especially in the sense
that 1t has given our U.N. delegation too
big role in policy-making. This is how
Senator Jackson sums it up:
The U.N. delegation in New York should
not operate as a second foreign office Such
confusion Of responsibility reinforces tend
ency to give undue weight in national policy
Foundations to considerations that seem
more important in New York than they ought
to seem in Washington, D. c. The effect of
decisions on something called "our relations
In the UN." may receive more weight than
their effect on, say, the strength and unity
Of the Atlantic Community. The result may
be weakening or dilution of policy positions
in Difference to what is represented in New
York as world opinion.
The concept Of world opinion has been,
fear, much abused. Whatever it is and
whatever the Importance that should be at
tached to it, doubt that it can be measured
by taking the temperature of the General As
sembly or successfully cultivated primarily
by currying favor in New York. To hide be-
hind something called world opinion" is all
too often the device of the timid. or the last
i resort OF someone who has run out of
arguments.
This criticism is pointed, needed
and fully justified. We have worried far
too much about world opinion and have
been entirely too ready to appease the
Afro-Asian bloc in the UN. at the ex-
pense of our relations with old and good
friends in the Atlantic Community.
There ought to be change-a change
which takes more clearly into account
those things which truly serve our own
national interests. It is difficult to see
how there can be such change, how
ever, If the President, who is the man
responsible for our U.N. position, really
thinks there is no disagreement between
Senator Jackson and himself.

PARIS.

PARlS.
Among the major ironies Of
the current French picture
Is the fact that President
Charles de Gaulle's own po-
litical position is almost GER
tain to be seriously weakened
by q peaceful settlement of
the Algerian war.
1t is not really a question
Of national gratitude, but
rather q return to normal.
So far as the rest of the
world is concerned, Gen. de
Gaulle may emerge from the
Algerian nightmare with
more prestige than ever. But
in France many observers be-
lieve the massive popular
support that has sustained
him since his return to power
will begin to deteriorate as
soon as the battle is won.
If so, what follows could
well be a repetition Of his
tory. After World War II,
the unity Of French resist
ance which swept Gen. de
Gaulle into power in 1914
soon broke up into quarreling
factions after the return of
peace. Faced with growing
opposition in Parliament, his
proposed constitution re-
jected by the people, Gen. de
Gaulle Withdrew for IL years
of bitter retirement at Co.
lombey until his recall in
1858. It could happen again.
1t will not happen, of course,
If Gen. de Gaulle is able to
prevent 1t. No one in France
today Is predicting the gen.
erals voluntary retirement
after the job in Algeria is
done. On the contrary there
is a strong impression that
he, himself, has long consid-
cred Algeria as a troublesome
but relatively insignificant
problem compared to his
ambitions in Europe. It is be-
lieved he will keep his hold
on the presidency and power
of state as long as possible,
doing everything to strength
en- his position with the po-
lltical parties and in the
country as a whole.
Warning Sign
It will not be an easy task,
however. A clear warning of
what is in store for the re-
gime was reflected in the
noisy debate in Parliament
over the agreement reached
with Algerian rebel leaders
at Evian. Though a majority
OF the Deputies clearly ia
vored the agreements them
selves, scarcely a voice was
raised in favor of the gov
eminent or its policies. The
hostility of the Deputies was
the more significant in that
they are facing the proba-
