ARTHUR GODFREY, in &
TV commentary concerning
his recent safari into French
Equatorial Africa, spoke with
considerable compassion about
the native peoples. Arthur
said some of the adults only
had the mental development
of a Western child six years
old. This is the usual West
ern onion cnlon'nU. Th<
British once said this about
the Irish. The Romans call
ed Britons savages. Each race
thinks his “knowledge” is the
most important. So it is with
us.
* • *
THE KNOWLEDGE of one
people seems like nothing to
another. The Western trained
atomic and electronic student
may scoff at the natives of
the Ganges, the Yellow River
or the Nile. But as Einstein
would say, knowledge is rela :
tive to time and place. Every
one knows the story of the
trained Missionary who went
to Africa. He said he had
come to save them from “ig
norance.” Later the natives
had to save the Missionary
from his own ignorance in
the jungle.
* « ♦
THE AFRICAN grandman,
or chief, asked the “educated”
Misisonary why he didn’t go
back and save the Western
nations from their wasteful
wars, devastating divorces,
adult and juvenile crimes and
other ills of the “better edu
cated (?)” West. The Chief
said he generally didn’t have

THOMAS DIXON
SPREADS TERROR
Thomas Dixon, the infamous
solid South race hater came
into the picture to deal an
underhanded blow to the black
race in answer to the late
Booker i. Washington’s At
' lanta Exposition speech. It
was a race apologist effort as
follows, “There is no defense
or security of the black race
except in the highest intelli
gence and development of all.
If where there are efforts
tending to curtail the fullest
growth of this darker race
within any section of the na
tion, let it be turned into
stimulating, encouraging and
making the race most useful
and intelligent citizens.”
Dixon left a sordid memory
of instigation for which 17,-
000,000 Americans are being
held in contempt, because of
skin pigmentation. Thomas
Dixon’s books were contemp
tous tirades on the black race,
which included the diabolical
"Clansman”, afterwards de
picted on the screen as “Birth
of the Nation”. Most of the
Southern press condemned
Dixon’s books as out of line
with humanity. The solid
South and border states were
informed, “the black race is
due justice. There is no spirit
of bloodthirsty and incendiary
revolt prevailing among them.
History and experience have
shown that there never exist
ed a more tractable people
considering? all the discrimina
tion circumstances to which
they have been subjected.
In time of war and in the
frightful reconstruction era,
when they were urged and
tempted by false friends ani
incentives also had opportu
nities of evil appalling to con
template, they were restrain
ed as no other people would
have been restrained and were
more sinned against than sin
ning. To day they remain a
people and have no mind ex
cept to accept the best that
maj' come to them.
Thomas Dixon represented
the ultra radical element of
Southern whites. Soberly the
great world consciensness dal
lied with this enemy of the
human race, and the univer- •
sal finger of scorn that was
pointed toward him will re
main certain that no other,
like him shall ever again arise.

Aid to Africa,
Says Nixon
WASHINGTON, . . Vice Pre.
sident Nixon has told Presi
dent Eisenhower that Africa
must have a “higher priority”
to counteract the Communist
drive for that vital area.
Nixon feels that though
“Red Influence Is not a pres
ent danger”, this potentially
rich temttoy “could well
prove to be the decisive fac
tor in the conflict between the
forces of freedom and inter
national Communism.”
The Vice-President was re
viewing his recent 8 weeks
trip to Africa. He thought
U.S prestige rated highly so
far. He added that to keep
this prestige high, we needed
African bureaus within the
State Department and in the
International Cooperation and
U.S. Information Agency, thus
placing Africa on the same
footing as other great areas.
He also asked for assistance
to the continent’s new coun
tries, encouragement to Am
ericans to invest capital, and
extension of U.S. economic
and technical aid. He called
for, too, greater “Interchange
