Jackson advocate., 1963-11-09

The history of the Prentiss
Institute is evidence of com.
plete faith of two young people
in God, mankind and in them
selves. They came to Prentiss
in 1907 from Pike County, Mis-
sissippi where they had married
in 1907. Prof. johnson was a
graduate of Alcorn College, the
state college for Negroes, and
Mrs. Johnson had graduated
from Tuskegee Institute under
the late Booker T. Washington.
They were looked upon with
distrust by members of their
own race as well as by the white
inhabitants. This was especi-
ally true when it was learned
that they intended to establish
a school in this rural section
where Negroes outnumbered the
whites two to one. They had
no money and their only worldly
possessions were their clothing
and two children, one seven
weeks and the other two years
of age. Thus, the Prentiss In
stitute was born under these
humble circumstances som e
fifty-six years ago.
A small plot of land, situated
about one mile east of Prentiss
and containing only an ante
bellum dwelling, was secured by
Prof. Johnson. This was pur-
chased with borrowed money
from the local bank. A group
of Negro farmers endorsed the
note.
Most of the white and colored
people were skeptical of the
Johnsons and the school project.
This meant the beginning of a
long and hard struggle. The
school had to be sold to both
races.
About 40 day students were
enrolled the 1st year with some
four or five boarders. Money
had to be raised to meet immedi-
ate needs as well as to make
payments on the mortgage

BROWN
A Enkup for Rome and London

posed to the Fanfani policies
is whether the new British
Italian alliance has the nee
essary force to counter the
French German alliance.
Britain's economic position
is precarious, to say the least.
Italy is in good shape out
wardly. The Italian currency,
while backed by more than
SO billion gold reserves, is
losing its value internally be-
cause of a rapid rise in the
cost of living.
Politically, Italy is facing
trouble. The left-of-center
government must rely for its
survival on the neutralist
Nenni Socialists and to a
lesser extent on the Tog-
liatti-led Communists. AS the
new elections approach (they
must be held not later than
May there is a growing dis
satisfaction among the peo-
pie whose earnings are dwin-
ding because of rising living
costs.
All these factors have been
summed up by Mr.. Fanfani's
opponents in a declaration
that the alliance will be a
cripple leading the blind"
unless, of course, America
stands by with some massive
support.
But even that, according to
some political observers, may
not be enough. What will
happen, it is asked, if Gen.
de Gaulle cannot be forced to
change his present attitude
and Chancellor Adenauer
cannot be unseated before
the Bundestag makes the
French German "integra-
ton" into the law of the
country? Will the rest Of
Western Europe be able to
enjoy the fruits of the Com
mon Market with those two
powers on the outside? And
will Americas present stra-
tegy Of threatening Gen. de

France, Russia
ToBoost Trade

MOSCOW, Feb. 2 (AP).-
France and the Soviet Union
signed a three-year trade agree
ment yesterday calling for an
exchange of goods on each side
amounting to about 500 mil
lion annually.
The agreement, to run from
1868 through 1865. represents
an increase of about 10 to Is
per cent over the previous trade
pact.
A Soviet announcement later
said France will supply the
Soviet Union with machinery
for chemical, paper, pulp, elec-
tronic and food enterprises, ma
chine tools, steel tubes, nickel,
artificial fibre and other gods,
The Soviet Union will sell to
France anthracite, oil and oil
products, manganese and chro-
MUM ore, machine equipment,
watches and other commodities
The negotiations we're con-
cluded in II days at this round
of the talks. Last June the
talks broke down when the
Soviet Union demanded most
favored nation treatment
despite French membership in
the Common Market.
Asked If these problems had
created any trouble during the
current negotiations, Christian
de Margery, head of the French
delegation, said:
They we're not even men,
toned"
He added that this factor was
mo barrier" this time.
The facility with which
agreement was reached on this
turn of the negotiations
prompted some Westerners here
to express belief the Russians
had softened their terms some-
what. This perhaps would be
in the interest of courting the
good will of France, now that
1t has had a sharp dispute
with other members of the
Common Market over British
entry. 1t is also possible the
French softened their position

Italy Welcomes Macmillan as 2 Nations
Seek to Offset Poris-Bonn Axis in Bio 6

Similarly in World War II,
after having fought only per-
functorily against the British
and Americans, Italy joined
the West.
There is a similar feeling
- though less intense -
against the French. The two
countries have seldom been
on cordial terms. The Ital-
ians have a kind of inferior
feeling toward either Western
neighbor, while the French
have usually treated the Ital-
ians with disdain.
The Italian people have al
ways had a warm feeling to-
ward the English speaking
people. This was demon
strated during the war on
many occasions when the
Italian navy found all kinds
of excuses not to effectually
disrupt the British lines of
communication in the Med
iterranean. Instead, it gave
trivial explanations why GER
tain naval actions decided on
by Hitler and Mussolini could
not take place.
All these historical facts
indicate that Italy prefers to
be in the Americana British
friendship rather than to col
laborate with the Germans
and French in a Europe for

ROME. - The Italian gov
ernment is treating British
Prime Minister Macmillan
royalty on his visit here to
establish officially the Rome
London bridgehead as a
counterpart to the Paris
Bonn axis"
The architects of the
bridge are President Kennedy
and his advisers who urged
Prime Minister Fanfani dur
ing his visit to Washington
to establish the political
bridge with the British lest
the De Gaulle Adenauer
combine dominate Europe.
Mr.. Fanfani and the lesser
members of the Eu ropean
communicative Benelux trio
are being assured of the
United States complete eco
nomic and political support
against what some policy
makers consider the attempt
of French President de
Gaulle to dictate to Europe.
Long arguments we're not
necessary to convince Mr..
Fanfani to agree to the es-
tablishment of a new wall to
isolate the French and Ger
mans. Italian relations with
those two allies have always
been at best lukewarm. The
Italians detest and fear the
Germans. The memory of
Nazi miSdeeds in this coun-
try while it was Hitler's ally
is being kept alive.
The intense dislike for the
colossus in the north dates
to the days when Italy was
a member of the triple alli-
ance before the outbreak Of
World War 1. When the first
blood letting started in
Europe in 1914 Italy broke
away from the alliance with
Germany and Austria and at
first declared herself neutral.
Later she joined the enemies
of her former ally.
