MARCH-APRIL, 1970 THE NEWS ARGUS PAGE THREE FROM THE EDITOR: f ^ U. S. Supremacy Falters Well, they did it again. Yes, the great and most glorious people of the United States of America have once again blown billions of dol lars sending a group of human beings into outer space. This at tempt however didn't work out quite the way the power structure wanted it to. In the true sense of the matter, Apollo 13 failed. How ever, the great people of the United States cannot fail. If they were to admit defeat it would be like the most hilarious thing in the history of man. Just how can a country that has never lost a war and has never failed in an Apollo space project face failure in a project that was so very similar to the preceding one? The answer is simple. Although Apollo 13 was a flop, it was not a flop. According to the whiteys, the mission was a great success be cause of the fact that few mal functions were able to be coped with. A few malfunctions that should not have occurred in the first place. In essence the mission was a failure because it did not reach its destination of the moon like it was supposed to. The United States government can't afford to be laughed at so they made the mishap look like a brilliant and tactical manuever. And what about the three pa triotic humans who were aboard the spacecraft? These men who have dedicated their lives to the exploration of outer space, and the conquering of the universe by the United States of America. I really can't see how they do it when the great United States has n't even conquered itself yet. This country is still in desperate need of help, and it can't even help it self. But it can help every other country in the world with its foreign aid. There are millions of people in this country who are starving to death, who don't have proper clothing to wear, who live in brok en down huts and shacks, who can't even get an education. A lot of people don't believe this is true of the “land of the free and the home of the brave," but I know because I have seen this. It is really a shame that a country as great as this one can't even take care of its own. The people in the backwoods of the Mississippi Delta for example are living a life of eternal strife. They don't have anv- 2 thing like a steady job. They know- nothing of electric lighting, cen tral heating, or even inside plumb ing. The majority of them don't pay any rent because they live in broken down shacks which have been handed down from genera tion to generation. The mortality rate in the Delta is one of the highest in the country. There are many more of these habitants in this "wonderful" country of ours, but there need not be. When a country can spend tril lions of dollars to send some fools to the moon to collect rocks and allows farmers to destroy millions of tons of food when there is so much starvation and poverty in it then there is something extremely wrong.

Baltimore Hears Stokely's Plan BRO. STOKELY CARMICHAEL Stokely Carmichael and his wife, Miriam Makeba, both showing the signs of a strained series of speak ing engagements, spent Saturday, April 12, in Baltimore delivering the message of Pan-Africanism (the world-wide unity of Black peo ple) and warning of approaching genocide attempts from the Amer ican government. After spending the past fourteen months in Guinea studying under now deposed Premier Kwame Nkruma of Ghana, Carmichael has returned to the states with a new look. Wearing his usual dark shades, Stokely now dons a heavy beard projecting the black look. Addressing a large audience, Carmichael told of how the Nixon administration is moving toward extermination of Black people. “Nixon is trying to move the country toward fascism . . . our only concern is how we are going to survive when this country moves toward fascism . . .” “We are Africans, we have been whitewashed into believing we are Americans. They (white people) do not belong here. They stole this country from the Indians . . . and wiped them out." Stokely then went on to comment on the recent rejection of Supreme Court nominee. Judge Herbert' Carswell. “He was rejected be-j cause there is a fight in this coun- ^ try among white people as to who j will run the country ... | On police and drugs, Carmichael states that the white power struc ture and the police department are working in collaboration to further suppress and exterminate Black people. “I notice a higher evidence of drugs in our communities. The white man is drugging our youth so that when he comes down on us, we'll NOT be able to fight back." Citing the movements of Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammed, he said that those movements based on land and nationalism have at tracted more membership than any others. Moving from the premise that the black revolution must have a land base, Stokely first attacked the Marxist-Leninist philosophy as applied to the present freedom struggle and then made what may become his most controversial statement: “the only place we can get the land is in Africa." A sprinkling of Black Panthers in the audience heard the message: Coalitions with whites will not work. Black bourgeois and white bour geois “cannot come together be cause of race . . . poor white and black cannot come together be cause of the question of race . . . whenever we do get together with whites . . . when they get what they want, they turn on us.
