WANTED: SOMEBODY TO TALK BACK TO
KHRUSHCHEV
Nikita Khrushchev the King Pir
of Russia is fast casting himself
as international bully in th(
drama unfolding before history
Ilis bull-dozism is amazing and not
a little dismaying and could b<
dangerous to the peace of th<
wo! Id and the survival of mankind
upon this terrestrial ball.
Single - handedly Khrushchev
wrecked the summit conference
where the die for peace might have
been east. He made our gestures
for peace seem puny and feeble.
We are told in sociology that in
an affair of love the one whe
loves less will exploit the one who
loves more. This is one of the in¬
evitable laws of love.
So in international diplomacy the
less principled diplomats will ex¬
ploit the more principled ones. Our
statesmen are guided by principles
which were incubated in the Law
of Moses and there are certain
master principles which our honest
statesmen dare not violate.
But the Russian diplomats and
statesmen are guided only by the
law of expediency. Their Machia-
velian principles of Internationa’
procedures work hardships on mer
who are motivated by the Golder.
Rule.
In other words statesmen guid¬
ed by the principles which stem
from the teachings of Jesus Christ
are at a great disadvantage wher
measuring, eternal values with mer
who are merely guided by princi¬
ples of expediency — if indeed
there are such principles.
Khrushchev’s tirade which
wrecked the proposed Summit Con¬
ference was disgraceful, and should
have discredited Russia in the
eyes of decent men everywhere.
As we understand it, Russia is
solidly against Nixon for Presi¬
dent, for Russia and its Khrush¬
chev know that in Nixon they have
foreman forthy of their steel,
Russia and its Khrushchev know
that Nixon is taking up where the
immortal John Foster Dulles left
off and that Nixon is not to be
cowed by Russia’s bluff.
Somebody has said that Dulles
knew as no other American Rus¬
sia’s game and that Russia knew
that Dulles knew it. The late
Secretary of State Dulles stood up
to Khrushchev and talked back to
him. Dick Nixon is following the
Dulles lines.
Without men of the DulVs -
Nixon persuasion our country is
lost. The thing this nation

the bondage of the body, also
joices in his freedom from the
lusion that the permanence of
citizenship in this country
on anything but his own insistent
demand for the recognition
proved worth.”
This “insistent demand” re-
mained the theme of DuBois’s
life. Nor was it something to he
put aside when changing circum-
stances made the struggle for civil
rights even more hazardous than
ugua l.
WORLD WAR I hovered over a
nation already wracked by in-
creasing violence. The pre - war
period in the United States was
marked by a terrible rise in lynch-
ings, and anti-Negro demonstra-
tions became a horrible common-
place.
The hysteria engendered by the
war produced an atmosphere of
super-patriotism resulting in the
destruction of the very thing it
had presumed to protect. Despite
that era’s Palmer raids and the
general whipped-up excitement of
great segments of the populace,
DuBois and his fellow fighters
risked their livelihoods and their
lives in the uninterrupted strug-
pie for freedom. The nation was
shocked by the results of a tour
DuBois was to make in overseas
Army camps. His reports of the
treatment of Negro soldiers paved
the way to military reforms which
eventually led to the integration
of the armed forces, finally achiev¬
ed under President Franklin Del¬
ano Roosevelt.
World War I had taught many
lessons to many people. To Dr.
DuBois the problems exposed
rather than solved in this inter¬
national conflict served to empha¬
size what this fighter for civil
rights already knew—namely, that
the future of the American Ne¬
gro was inevitably entwined with
the future of all victims of white
domination wherever they might
be. In 1919 DuBois issued the
call to the first Pan-African Con¬
gress in Paris. These conferences,
similar in form to the earlier Ni-
lost at this point of international
isi.s and thp cold war, are men
vho will talk back to Khrushchev!
Khrushchev was served notice
hat a misSle attack is tn the off-
ng if Russia does not like the way
ur foreign military bases are con-
'ucted. This threat of a missile
ttack on our foreign military
»ases is called a threat of war.
Khrushchev needs to be told
hat our great nation is not go¬
ng to play dead in the face of his
hreats. United States Defense
Ihief Gates speaks the language
hat Russia needs to hear when he
ays 'Russia’s missile attack on
>ur bases means the end of Rus-
ia.” Our nation is fortunate to
have at the head of its defense
i character who is sufficiently and
brutally frank to tell Russia where
to get off. Russia should be in¬
armed in advance that there are
no Munich-makers in America.
Already this country has enough
of Russia’s foolishness and the time
l o talk back to Russia is now. As
Cates says — and wisely, “I don’t
believe Mr. Khrushchev wants to
tart a war which he knows will
he the end of his country.”
When Gates speaks thus back
to Russia he is doing the cause of
vorld peace a great service. A
few more such forthright
ments from our higher ups will
greatly facilitate the cause

ihruptly — that she is

established a new journal, PIIY-

the land grant colleges for Ne¬

tinuous research project on the
development of the Negro in
America. Tragically this mas-

I untimely death of Dr. .John Hope,
