The frustrations of the negro as he finds how empty and endless the lies of pbliticians are, the breakdown of respect for law which Items from the . United States Su* the subtle propaganda for anarchy that stems from the cynical “intel lectuals” all combine to create an atmosphere in which violence is as natural as breathing. To preserve the nation this vio lence, innocent as its “troops” may be, will have to be met with violence. Turning the other cheek will not work in a world that never knew the gentle phjlosphies of Christianity. Oncp this violent virus has run its course and the gutters of num erous American cities' run red with the blood of the misled the voters will destroy at the ballot box those particular politicians whose greed has so largely been responsible for the entire problem. This trend has already begun to exert itself in politics in every part of the. nation. \4. " 4* 4y:> !.v In Boston voters turned their hack on an enforced system of ’ pn that 'would have about like animals vote an ordinance aimed at opening all housing under law to negroes was killed. The most liberal of Southern states, Florida and North Carolina, have this spring tossed out by very large margins the liberal brqpd of politicians. Call it a “White Backlash” or simply an assertion of majority rights the result is the same: That politicians • are learning in every part of the nation that the white vote is about 10 times as great as the negro vote. Doe* this mean that the negro is in danger of recrimination? In one man’s opinion it does not, but it does mean that the negro will lose his preferential position that has been given to him by a long series of legislative, 'executive and judicial decrees that were nine parts political and one fiart human itarian. The better elements of negro so ciety have not been helped by the paternalistic prostration the nation has experienced in the past few years before the worst elements of The respectable, working, tax paying elements of negro society have suffered along with the same elements of wlhite society in sup porting the government holiday that has been enjoyed for so long by so many of the sorrier mem bers of both wthite and negro so ciety. The revolting mania suffered by so many of us in the recent past has not only centered around the unproductive members of negro society but has exhibited itself in an absurd concern for the “poor criminal," who like the illegitimate mother of nine, is not responsible for his acts, but is the helpless vic tim of his environment. AH of this maudlin concern for the unfortunate, and the “don’t-, give-a-dams” wiU not pass away overnight, and our society will not revert to a Spartan concept under which survival of the fittest is the absolute, rule. - But for too long government, with an eye to keeping in pother and expanding its control over people in all walks of life has ex erted most of its effort in the sur vival and proliferation of the un fit to the great detriment of the fit. National insanity of the kind we have seen for the past dozen years can only be cured by the shock treatment that is being experienced in major cities where every possi ble right has been given to these professional freedom marchers, Whose basic search is for freedom from work, freedom from responsi bility and freedom from controls under which the rest of us have to live. There- are many evidences that this shock treatment is working well and that in a few more elec tions the body politic will return to something near normal and the nation and its negro citizens too can return to the more important problems that confront us all. And the nation will return to those tried and proven ways under which the worker is rewarded, the wrongdoer is punished and the laggards in our society will be per mitted the luxury of their own misery, minus government hand fly \ , ' ,yv’ 't A v
