Congressman Powell Historic Speech

Mr.. Chairman. Mr.. de Lugo and Young Democrats. members of
the Alpha Phi fraternity. TO all YOU who are assembled. it is a very
thrilling moment for me tc spend here between these historic build
ings-one. the Oldest Custom House under the Stars and Stripes, on
the continent or anywhere else, and two. in front of this Fort where
the emancipation Of the black mar of the Virgin Islands took place
fifteen years before Abraham Lincoln whole the historic Emanci-
patton Proclamation. cloud applause).

quently over the past ten years
because I regard this particular
part of the world as my home;
my refuge, and my place of in
telectual stimulation. These love-.
~ islands have represented dur
ing their history different things
to different people. During the
era of colonial expansion, your
sugar production was of interest
to virtually every important Eu-
ropean power.
Your later history under the
benign rule of Danish Kings pro-
vided a vital commodity in trade
for that northern sovereignty. As
all who are present here know,
the United States earliest inter
est in these islands was its im>
portance as a Naval Base in the
Caribbean; thus the administra-
ton of these islands from 1916 was
by the United States Navy.
America was more than for
tunate in making such an arrange
ment, for in so doing we not only
received what was then a vitality
important Naval base, by the
terms of the purchase of these is
lands from Denmark for rs mil
lion dollars, but we also received
what is in my estimation, a tro-
pical paradise, a sparkling blue
and green gem to shine in Anne
rica's crown. prolonged applause)

of you, and alert, energetic people
who have devoted your hearts and
souls to the principles of Ameri-

Yes. America received much
from you and what has she given
in return? I believe more impcr-

wealth and power, was the gift of

Wrong Way on FouIed-Up Youths

But that release Is dearly
bought when bought
Rather than won in solitary
war -,
On the darkest nights. There
Is q trick in ease;
The quick escape, unfought
for, should suffice
To alarm the mind"
In our effort to remove
our Illustrations. we have for
gotten the joy and strength
of mind that arises from the
effort to be simply right. The
unfrustrated man ought to
be the man who can do ex-
actly as he pleases. Yet any,
one who has worked with de-
linquent children knows that
the ungovernable and incor-
rigible child Is among the
most miserable Of all chill
dren.
No one gains strength as
long as he is preoccupied
with finding reasons for his
weaknesses. While elf-blame
can be overdone by a few
overly conscientious individ-
uals, the effort to avoid self
blame at any cost is a far
commoner and more debili-
tating disease.
A few weeks ago / got an
interesting letter from an in
telligent inmate of . WASH
ington State reformatory. He
talked about his fellow-in-
mates:
you can see what is wrong
with most Of us II you watch
US play baseball. I've seen
this happen dozens of times:
The batter hits q long fly
to the outfield. The OUT
fielder races for it and sees
he can't quite catch it. So
what? So he falls. And he
gets up cursing and dusting
his pants and pointing to an
imaginary gopher hole.
That's why most of us are
here. We could never admit
that we didn't move fast
enough or think st raight
enough or work hard enough.
We just kept cussing the
gopher holes"

Blaming Society Experts Soy, Gives
Them Something to Hide Behind

American psychiatry ought
to be entering a new anc
better day II the advice OF
two California psychiatrist.
is needed. In essence 1t Is
this: Quit explaining to
wrongdoers why they are do
inG wrong. and instead, point
out how and why they ought
to do the right thing.
At the recent National In
stitute on Crime and Delin-
quency in Seattle, DR.. VIII
liam CHASER, consultant
psychiatrist at the Ventura
(Calif) School for Girls, told
Of a reality therapy" which
he and his colleague, DR.. q.
L. Harrington, have de-
veloped.
The two psychiatrists de-
cided that the elaborate
process of taking case his
tories and delving into prob
able causes for delinquency
quickly gave too many pa
tients the idea that there
were special and compelling
reasons why they couldn't be
good. Many of them felt
helpless to improve them
selves, while others took COM
fort in the theory that be-
cause they were disturbed"
the ordinary rules Of decency
couldn't apply to them.
Says Doctor CHASER:
Regardless of what causes
his bad behavior, the child
is primarily responsible. We
are always warm and friend
ly, but we never intimate In
any way that entering into
psychiatric treatment re-
lieves him of the RESPONSE
bility for what he does. We
assume. as traditional ther-
apists rarely do, that he has
q workable set Of principles,
standards or values.
I'VE have met far too
many fouled-up youngsters
who have never had to face
their principles in therapy.
because traditional therapy
requires not that they exer-
else their values. but only
that they understand causes.
II everybody working with a
delinquent child holds him
responsible to himself for
whas Ire does. the child soon
learns the pleasure of doing
well and getting credit for
It,"
There's a lot Of wisdom
here. And what better proof
is there than the fact that
the more we inquire into
causes" and the more time
we spend blaming slums or
lack Of Fairgrounds or pa
rental irresponsibility, the
higher the rate Of juvenile
d delinquency has climbed.
We are beginning to learn
to our dismay that demolish-
ing tenements and establish
ing boys clubs is not provid-
ing the hoped-for answers.
Instead, juvenile misbehavior
is spreading in all environ
ments and economic strata.
Kids are getting into trouble
not only where papa is q
penniless drunk, but also
where papa doesn't let them
use the Cadillac every night.
The more we blame society"
for youthful outrages and the
more society struggles to re-
move the Causes" the more
outrages we have.

What About Civil Responsibility?

is on the Congressional pay
roll at q salary Of $4,000 .
year as q staff member Of
the committee Of which her
husband Is chairman. Mr..
Powell says his wife earns
her pay because she handles
the voluminous mail he re-
ceives from spanish-speak-
ing constituents in New York
City.
Mr.. Powell Is up for re-
election this autumn. but he
isn't worried about the out
come. The Negroes in his dis
trict are expected to continue
to re-elect him. The Kennedy
administration Is expected to
help him get elected. Maybe
the explanation for this was
given recently by j.. Ken
meth Galbraith, former Har-
ward professor, close adviser
to President Kennedy, and
now United States Amhassa-
dor to India. In q speech on
August 9 before the Consti-
tuition Club in New Delhi-an
assemblage Of members Of
the Indian Parliament-Mr.
Galbraith told why the Ken
nedy administration is against
'colonialism."
Perhaps our reasons for
this stand are even more
pressing than yours. Africa
is the continent most In
timately identified with mod
ern colonialisna. A very large
number Of Americans are of
African origin. The admin
istration which I represent
came to power because 1t
enjoyed the overwhelming
support of the 1s million
Americans-about 10 per
cent Of the population-of
African descent. These help
form our attitudes toward
colonialism. On the basis of
a long and close political as
sociation with Negro friends
and colleagues. ! can assure
you Of the strength of these
attitudes and also Of their
political force"
In other words. American
policy in foreign affairs is
made nowadays on the basis
Of what viii win. the Negro
vote in America and not on
the principles Of what Is
right for all the people Of
the United States-such as
preserving. for instance, a
naval base for our armed
forces in the Azores which
Portugal has granted us but
now is reluctant to renew.
This is the expediency doc
trtne OF q political minded
administration now fully

P0ttern Of Ste0dily Growing cIeovooe
On Bosic Economic Philosophy Is Seen

One Of the most signifi-
cant political developments
since the Kennedy admins
tration came to power is oc-
curing with almost no public
notice. This is q steadily
deepening cleavage between
President Kennedy and the
far-out Democratic liberals
in the Senate on basic eco

The President in fact is
under an assault from them
more sustained - and far
more bitter, because 1t is q

While he Is certainly no
