JOSEPH F. ALBRIGHT

These are not my original words
They were said years ago by one
Of the greatest statesmen of our
times, Congressman William L.
Dawson of Illinois, the Negro chair.
man Of the House Expenditures
Committee in Congress.
In connection with this pithy
piece of advice by the learned leg
islator, / recall, too, the equally
wise statement Of Abraham Lincoln
who said that he intended to do
everything in his power to accomp-
lish all that was possible, to re-
frain from foolishly attempting
the impossible, and to ask God to
provide him with the wisdom to
distinguish the difference between
the two.
This is a most propitiate time in
history to gravely consider these
two statements. 1t will be wise in
these crucial days to think twice
before we speak and stop basing
our actions upon angry reflexes
. moving carefully in our rela-
tionships toward each other with
temperance.
In my early high school days
felt obligated to fight one of my
schoolmates after dismissal every
day for a week. To my utter frus-
tration l found myself getting
licked every time we engaged in
man-to-man combat. Later, when
our relationship had become very
friendly, asked him how It was
that he had so consistently whaled
the daylights out of me. He laughed
ed and replied, "You got mad, and
l didn't"
l have long since stopped fued-
ing with Illustrations. l remind my
self of the old adage that says,
"he who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day." I have
gotten strictly in line with the fact
that he who wins the LAST battle
is the one who wins the war.
No team ever won a football
game, for example, without first
getting possession of the ball. No
body is ever going to cooperate
with my program" if l begin by
hitting him in the mouth. And who
ever thought that one up about
catching more flies with molasses
than with vinegar was at his level
best in objective thinking. When
ever it comes to a choice between
fighting just to be throwing pun
ches, or fighting with a creditable
purpose to win, l will take the lat
ter everytime and only fool
will accept the first choice which
is not only stupid but inexcuseable.
Pm with you Congressman Daw-
son, all the way. You can just bet
all the coffee in Brazil that I will
try to get smarter" every day.
Nobody .,. but nobody IS
ever again going to nudge me into
corner of impossible action. And
as far as | am concerned the ex-
preston point of no return" is
just something that describes an
airplane which as used up too
much fuel to get back to its base.
Remember the fable of the race
between the tortoise and the hare?
When that ole overconfident rab-
bit got to the finish line, the turtle
was already there having his lunch.
In this race of life, your speed,
broth-i, is Incidental. The point
to always remember is that no race
can ever be won if you don't finish
FIRST.
So am no longer so interested in
running "fast" as l am in running
sure. When l start, l propose to
get there, even if that requires
leaving the highway and taking the
shortcut across the mountain.

More than that - and Of in
calculable consequence for the next
few years - they decided to "lib-
crate" the remaining areas of At
RIGA under white minority rule with
npre than words. This means mon
~ and guns. +, means training and,
Derhaos. volunteers.
The targets are Portuguese An
COLA, Mozambique and Guinea, all
easily accessible from neighboring
African Independent countries. Be-
yond them lies Southern Rhodesia
and then South Africa, whose whites
have by far the strongest military
force south of the Sahara.
The formation of a single Afri-
can organization seemed unlikely
when the heads of the state be-
gan converging on Emperor Halle
Selassie's capital en- masse. Their
foreign ministers had met for near
ly week and were resigned to
putting off the charter until some
later meeting.
But the 10 year old host, who
claims descent from Solomon and
Sheba, made his most important
appeal since 1885 when he begged
vainly for world help against Mus
solini's invading armies.
Standing at the podium in
plain blue serge suit, Selassie told
the other chiefs of state bluntly:
I'VE cannot leave here without
creating a single African organiza-
ton. If we fail in this, we will have
shirked our responsibility to Afri-
ca and the people we lead.
The emperor put his prestige be-
hind the gradual approach to con-
tinental unity which has emerged
as the dominant trend during the
past few years in competition with
the political unity now" of Cha
nian President Kwame Nkrumah.
OF the leaders who came here,
three had been original allies of
Nkrumah in the formation of the
"Casablanca" group in 1861 -Egyp-
tlan President Canal Abdel Mas
ser, Guinea President Sekou Toure
and Mali President Modibo Keita.
But the "Casablanca" group has
long been split, and King Has
san of Morocco did not even at
tend.
The other big names of the con-
tlnent, leaders like Prime Minis
ter Sir Abubaakar Tafewa Baldwa
of Nigeria, President William v.
S.. Tubman of Liberia, President
Felix Houphouet Boigny of the
Ivory Coast and President Leopold
Sedar Senghor of Senegal, all want
ed to proceed step by step toward
goal of political unity.
They were the leaders Of the
rival "Monrovia" group. In between
were such uncommitted leaders as
President Julius Nyrere of Tang
anyika.
What emerged here was an or
ganization with an assembly Of
heads of state which will meet
at least once a year, council OF {
ministers which will meet twice
a year and a permanent secretar-
lat. 1t can make no binding decis-
ions.
But, it will have a commiSsionI
for mediation, conciliation and ar
bitration to settle the Vexing
boundary disputes which are be-
ginning to haunt Africa as they
did Europe for centuries. 1t viii
have commissions to promote CO.
operation in fields ranging from
economic development to health
and education, and defense com
mission with unspecified powers.
Africa has made first step
Time will tell how big - and wha
will be the consequences to tn
world, and to Africa's whites, o
liberation"
The goals are something African
agree upon. The means are still t
be worked out.

Mr.. Percy Greene
Editor of The Jackson Advocate
Jackson, Mississippi
Dear Mr.. Greene:
1t was my privilege to hear
your interview on television
during the news broadcast with
Mr.. Walter Cronkite Tuesday
evening, May %, broadcast in
Melbourne at seven fifteen o.
clock. 1t was the most reason
able and commendable state
ment that / have heard from
any leader during this entire
racial conflict, - an exhorta-
tion that both races in the
South settle this matter like in
telligent, thinking beings with
out outside pressures from any
source. God grant that this may
be achieved! more things are
wrought by prayer than this
world dreams Of"
1t is my candid belief that the
integrated school system would
be less costly throughout the
South, and, what is more i'm
portant, the advantages of an
education for every child would
be better. There is certain equip
ment such as Televised and
filmed lessons require, musical
instruments to teach music, etc.
which could be used for more
students at the same cost. Adult
education could be made avail
able, using better constructed
buildings, with more assembly
space, and better opportunity
for discussions of community
problems. There should be
splendid advantages in the one
school system.
In a Democracy, it is i'm
portant that there be an inform
ed citizenry. 1t is the very
strength of a Democracy. And,
naturally with an informed citi-
zenry must 60 the right to vote,
the right of equal job oppor-
tunity for all qualified persons.
Enclosed is a clipping con-
cerning the bi-racial meeting in
Jackson. | regret sincerely that
l kept only the final part, in
order that l might have the
date of the announcement Of
the meeting, as was reported in
our newspaper, and your ad-
dress. / regret that l do not
recognize the name Of Mr.. jose
phi Albright. l am sure that he
is an advocate Of good common
sense in solving this difficult
problem.
Gods blessing be upon those
persons who are genuinely
sincere that justice and Chris
tianly shall prevail to all per-
sons of both races.
Respectfully yours,
