Who
. ... ,
Threaten World Peace
' AN ANALYSIS VI
By Curtis T, Perkins
The deliberations of the United Nations in
its General Assembly and Security Council
are saddled with two white minority ruled
governments which take up most of the time
and resources of this body. For these two
states threaten, more than any others, the
entire structure of the UN in its quest for
world peace.' . , : r
Here are the reasons:
-Both are in a vast majority of peoples
and states hostile to their policies, intran
sigence and acts of aggression.
Both occupy lands which they took over
by war, bloodshed and suppression of the in
digenous people.
Both claim to be anti-communist which
has attracted the support of many elements
throughout the United States and in Europe.
Both have unwarranted sympathy of the
mainstream American press media with
one of these countries almost beyond
criticism of editors, columnists and broad:
cast commentators. It can do no wrong!
Critics of this nation are almost continually
ignored or given minimal treatments at best.
Both enjoy friends in the U.S. Congress
with one nation able to muster as many as
86 U.S. Senators and a majority of the U.S.
House of Representatives on key issues,
deemed to affect them.
Both enjoy investment and financial
support unprecedented in relation to other
countries especially in black Africa and the
Third World; One nation has the greatest
corporate participation of any other by
American investors and banks. The other
receives an average of $15 million dollars per
day aggregately over $5 billion yearly.
Both are thought to have atomic
weapons. One of those nations is known to
have stolen through complicity, American
uranium for this purpose and to have shared
its secrets with the other in building
specifically the atomic bomb.
Both are known to practice racism to
the despair of the entire world. One pursues
the complete separation of its majority
blacks from its minority whites; while the .
other discriminates against a vast segment of
people native to their region and Africa and
black Americans-immigrating for religious
reasons to this country. Both claim their
racist practices are helpful to their wards and
really don't exist.
Both despite vast majorities at the
United Nations against their violations of
the charter enjoy quite consistently the
vetoes of the United States in the Security
Council. For this' especially now the U.S. is h
feared and perplexes black Africa and the
Third World. , .
Both nations have impacted such UN
agencies i as the International " Labor ?
Organization (ILO),' the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), the UN Human
Rights Commission and tjje UN Commission
Against '. the Proliferation of Nuclear
. Weapons, etc.T These two nations permeate
the agencies of most UN concerns.
Both nations have access to all types of
arms ; and sophisticated weaponry despite
strictures On one by the U.S. pn their defen
sive use only. The other is supposed to have
the imposition of an , UN arms embargo '
which is violated by the West almost openly. ;
PERRENIAL CONVERSATION '
These two nations are readily perceived as
Israel and South Africa. They constitute
almost a part of every conversation engaged
in by diplomats in the corridors, lounges and .
meeting places at the UN? ' ;..
The UN has created and staffed the result
of the shenanigans of South Africa:
The Special Committee Against Apar
theid - Ambassador B. Akporode Clark of .
Nigeria, chairman,
The Council on Namibia ' Am- ':i
bassador Paul Lusaka of Zambia, chairman.
The UN has also given permanent observer
status to South - West Africa Peoples
Organization (SWAPO) - vTheo-Ben k
Gurirab, as the spokesman for the people of
. Namibia. , .
Because of the displacement of many .
Palestinians in the area now the State of ;
Israel, the 'UN has created the Committee on
The Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian .
People of which Ambassador Massamba
Sarret of Senegal is chairman.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization
(PLO) is recognized by the UN as the sole
representative of the Palestinians; Zehdi .
Labib Terzi is the Permanent Observer.
THE PRESENT SITUATION
ISRAEL. Of course the State of Israel and
its many adherents in the U.S. have different
motivations than the whites in South Africa.
But circumstances do provide provocative :
similarities which are very disturbing and to
this writer, counter productive. I feel that
the nation of Israel is good for the world
community and a symbolic beacon for Jews
every where. However, I feel Israel with the ,
unstinted protection' of the United- States
must respect UN resolutions and thereby
- participate in the solution of the problems of
, the Middle East, The Palestinians need their
own homeland which with Israel's coopera
tion could be carved from the West Bank,
' Gaza ! and with some' accommodation by
; Lebanon and Jordan.
V-v.The 'Syrians .-.have their faults in policing
Lebanon, wherein thee should be more
forces from other Arab States, and a more
balanced treatment of both Moslems and
Christians.'.; ; 1 ,
, Israel has no business arming the Christ
tians, nor should it indiscriminately bomb
the civilians of Lebanon in its zeal to get the
PLO.
Israel through respected third parties and
the PLO need to get to a conference table
and mutually resolve this mess now blinking
toward a third world war.
Both Syria and Israel need to cooperate
with Philip C, Habib in the removal of the '
SAM missiles and meddling in Lebanon,
respectively.
Further, the United States and Russia
need to remove their fleets from the area.
Above all, Lebanon needs to be able to ad
just to its own resurrection and military ef
ficacy. '. SOUTH AFRICA. Under the sponsorship
Of the Organization of African Unity
(OAU), an International Conference on
Sanctions Against South Africa has just con
cluded at UNESCO. Headquarters in Paris.
The OAU, other groupings, nations and
organizations have served notice on South
Africa that apartheid must go and Namibia
must become independent.
I don't see South Africa bending now. But
the OAU means business and guerrilla war
fare will increase and there may be an in
crease in Russian and Cuban participation in
areas bordering on South Africa. This spells
war."; "
The final solution portends military con
flict which again may involve a big power
showdown between the U.S. and Russia.
, THE SOLUTION
The United States which has vast cor
porate interests in South Africa and which
almost totally supports Israel must tell these
two white led nations to get in line. This will
not only prevent undue expenditures of
American resources and lss of American
lives but save the U.S. from becoming divid
ed as in Vietnam.1
I doubt that black Americans especially
would be eager to fight in behalf of an in
transigent Israel and ji racist South Africa.

President Reagan and
the Repbulican Party are
prepared to wait for some
sort of: "Great Omnibus
Destiny of Terrific"
(GODOT) economic life,
to appear in America. Ap
preciation for each other
and adulation for each
other and adulation for.
"GODOT" will not get
the U.S. economic system
moving on down the road.
Reagan unfortunately
has not run into any in
sight from within his own,
party to stimulate any
start on movement toward
bringing the federal
budget in line with reality.
Running the risk of war
with "GODOT" is the
theme. While war hasn't
arrived yet, it seems to be
well ahead of "GODOT".
President Reagan runs
the risk of war when
"bullets" are bought in
stead of "butter." Indeed,
his "general types" take
on an added glow when
they gather more money
for arms. A $686.2 billion
budget balanced for
bullets puts a gleam in the
eye of admirals and col
onels. Some Cabinet
Secretaries also see saber
rattling as Reagan's herald
announcement.
Americans are aware of
the increase in defense
department spending
sought by past President
Carter in his final year.
"Alas, poor Yorick, I
knew him well," a
William Shakespeare
character said ' upon
discovering a predeceased
soul's skull. Since Presi
dent Reagan is still on his
honeymoon with Con
gress, a $2 billion increase
above the Carter Ad
ministration defense spen
ding seems like dribble to
the troops.
A trillion dollars is the
expectation of record
spending, however, plann

spartan President's first
term of office. All other

Coping
TheFnendlyArt
Of Persuasion: .
By Dr. Charles W. Faulkner
Part IV
In my last column,. I presented information thai
showed you how to win friends and persuade people to
follow your advice. Following are more tips to help you:
1. Never, never lose your cool, calm composure.
There are two major types of insecure people. A) those
who try very hard to upset other people so that they can
manipulate their emotions, and B) those who become
easily angered .and upset if anyone disapproves of
anything that they do..
You should not allow yourself to be placed in either
of those categories. You should never become angered
or upset in any situation. If you do become upset, do
not show it. Never, never argue, complain or raise your
voice. Always give the appearance of cool composure
and personal control.
When people discover that you are in control of your
emotions, they tend to want to copy your behavior. This
is your way of gaining their confidence and support.
This is your way of influencing their behavior.
Former President Carter was elected to office because
of the wonderfully agreeable personality that he pro
jected. He smiled, he never disagreed even when at
tacked by opponents and he gave the appearance of
quiet self-confidence. He was viewed as a "leader" by
the public.
Wljen others disagree with you and you continue to
smile and remain calm, they will soon calm down and
are likely to feel rather foolish for having disagreed with
you in the first place. The other person may, in fact,
.apologize to you, feel indebted to you and become
responsive to anything that you might say or do. At this
point,vyou take Over and control the discussion by calm
ly stating your position on the issue. And, even if it dif
fers from the point-of-view of the other person, he or
she might be inclined to accept your position on the
issue.
2. Jte positive! You should adopt a position in life
that will lead to happiness and emotional security. Feel
good about life, sparkle with good thoughts, let your
mind soar to the heights with ambition and belief in
yourself.
Don't be burdened by unhappiness, distrust, envy
and frustration. You only live once, so live in trust and
happiness. Do not burden yourself with fear, consterna
tion and competitive suspicion.
Be pleased with the brilliantSun, be happy that you
are alive. Be enthusiastic about everything that you do
and everyone you know. Be positive and friends will
beat a path to your door as they beg for you to tell them
how to be positive.
When you are cool and calm under pressure and never
lose control of yourself, you are exhibiting the qualities
that everyone would like to have. When you are positive
and enthusiastic about just being alive, you will have
more followers and admirers than you can imagine.

By Joe Black
As the old spiritual says:
"Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless
Child" and it is not because I am an
orphan. No, my feeling of being
alone is because of the hate cast at me
by Blacks who resent my chtflmging
my people to do some things to help
ourselves. But this state of depression
disappears when I read conunents
such as those written by Louis A.
Fitzgerald, Jr. in his Critique column
in the January 26 issue of the Chicago
Defender. Here is an excerpt:
"The Urban League does in fact
derive much of its funding from
white financial institutions and that
is because most Blacks do not
and I repeat this do not support
the Urban League, NAACP, UNCF,
etc. If Black folks spent as much
money for Black institutions as they
do on booze, hotels, cars and merry
making, the Urban League would
never have to go out of the Black
aimmunity for financial support.
Yet, the League and other organi
zations serving the Black com
munity do good and for the most
part are not compensated by Blacks.
I am damn sick and tired of Blacks
condemning Black supported orga
nizations when they ( Blacks) fail
to contribute to those causes which
are dedicated to helping them.
What we should be doing is support
ing our own."
Thanks Lou for telling it like
it is. So. my friends, let's
put up or shut up.
