By Anne Heath
The past speaking to the future
, . . a prophet looking for a need
ful ear . . . wobbly legs and a keen
mind . . . impassioned concern for
the future . . . devotion to hu
manity ... a “fight the good fight”
attitude.
Dr. Norman Thomas, leader of
the Democratic Socialist Party and
a candidate many times for the
presidency on the Socialist ticket,
spoke at Wake Forest College on
.November 8, on the logic of The
Three Challenges to this Generation.
In his talk. Dr. Thomas said he
knew students got tired of hearing
about challenges and old men s rem
iniscences ; however, there is an ex
traordinary difference between the
world before World War I and the
world today. Before the First
World War, the world was domi
nated by the white race and a few
imperial powers—the U. S. in the
western hemisphere. No one even
dreamed of going to the moon al
though there were technological ad
vances. It was a time of great op
timism and a belief in progress
with a capital “P.” Progress was
inevitable.
Today we not only know we have
to share our power with other races
but also with other powers.
Colonialism has crumbled, and all
sorts and sizes of nations are in the
world of today. This is a world
in an evolution of rising expecta
tions. By extraordinary technolog
ical discoveries, we have made large
scale war impossible without ex
tinction.
In this world of change, these
main challenges stand before our
generation. The first is the racist
challenge. Today the white race is
in a minority but our prejudices are
still very strong. Even Europeans
aren’t as free of prejudices as they
think. We have to fight against
this prejudice for the sake of the
future. This is especially true in
America where there is great hy
pocrisy. We preach brotherhood,
but we don’t practice it. Even the
churches are sinners. One of the
most dangerous aspects of this sit
uation is that according to a survey
made at UNC, the greatest preju
dice exists between the ages of 18
and 29. This prejudice hurts us
politically, socially, religiously, and
internationally.
The second challenge to our gen
eration is in economics and politics.
Two-thirds of the world rests on
the borderline between starvation
and survival. The separation be
tween the sick and the poor, on a
world wide scale, has increased.
The richest men aren’t the men
who have performed the best ser
vices to society. For instance, the

owners of land near expanding cities
have become quite sick—this is not
fair. Social forces now determine
economic values. There is inequal
ity of reward for labor.
We are as well off in America
as we are today because of the
adoption of socialist ideas. What
was once called Socialist is now
called republican. We still have a
long way to go though. A look at
conditions of migratory workers
and the slums exisGng both in the
cities and in the rural areas will
confirm the above sta^ement; how
ever, America reforms only under
pressure.
The cold war greatly affects our
economy. Ten percent of our gross
national product is absorbed by the
cold war. Over a third of our
scientists, half of our research ef
forts, and some five million work
ers are involved in it. Many corp
orations are very dependent on the
cold war for certain contracts
There would be panic on the part
of the business world if a peace
was proclaimed. We would have
to have a transition between a war
economy and a peace economy.
Although the solving of these so
cial and economic problems are ex
tremely important, the most im-
protant challenge to our generation
