United States - that is Mt say, they will owe their i origin not to the equality, but to the inequality, ot 5 conditions." . The long hot (Miler is coming to an end just arms: the border and most Canadians feel guilty and frustrated about it. We would like to help, but don't know what to do. Finally. we don't do anything and yet we are involved and we know we are involved, because this is a problem which overrides nationalities. We know the Negroes have suffered long and patiently under abuses and injustices that mike one ashmed to be white. I remember when I was a teenager in England., they were still lynching Negroes in the South (and get- ting nway with it) because I read news reports about it then. It is not hard to understand now why they have decided they can't wait my longer. On the other hand, when Blick Muslims and other virulent racists spit out their hatred for the entire white race and their plans for handling the white population, one's sympathy starts to curdle is hit. These men are as bigoted as the Southern extremists who st rted it all. And this is something to remember: thaws evil now ravaging the entire nation was started in the Southern states hy Southern gentlemen who loved the Negro as long IS he remained a devoted servant, but who began to hate him when he became "uppity". ' There would he no riots in Newark or Chicago or Watts if Negroes-in the South had not found life there intolerable and fled away, carrying the disease with them. In the South no personal freedom or dignity can ever be achieved by a Negro; in the North there is more personal freedom for Negroes but they are shackled by their own lack of skills and by white prejudice. They have exchanged one prison for another; it's just that the view is better in the North. T The tragedy is that neither Negroes nor whites deserve the hot summer. -----Trrimtrtsds-of-thrmsattds of deeent intelligent Ameri-, can have tried hard to come to terms with the problem, hut they have tried too late and not hard enough. People have said that if Americans withdrew from Vietnam and devoted their entire war budget to the racial problem, it could he solved over night. This is not true, of course, any more than a cure for cancer could he found overnight with more money. Money heips,diut.the bigot and the fanatic cannot be cured, overnight. Distrust on either side needs time to be disproved. - It is savager ironical that now, when more is being done for the Negro problem, when everyone is aware of it nnd concerned and trying to do something, that the Negroes should at last embrace violence and hatred. It is understandable. but hard to accept: and the Negroes must know that their violence cannot succeed. However powerful they herome, "whiter" is more powerful. Violence and hmtality only beget violence and brutality. The 'government integration protrrarit will have results, given time; meantime, it's being administered by humans, not angels. and some times idealism itm't tempered by common sense. There's a. town in Tennessee where there is an ex- cellent Negro high school with first-class facilities and teachers. In came the government agency to integrate the me. They closed down the Negro high school and arranged that Negro students would attend the white school, which is not as well-equipped, and which cannot cope with the additional students. As a result, the Negro high school is rotting. its teachers are out of work and neither Negro nor white students can get a full day's schooling because there isn't mom for every- one. Coming further North, in Flint, Michigan. there's a pleasant middle-class community in which a Negro family tried to buy 1 house, He was a dentist: they were in every way the equals of the white families in the community. The realtor couldn‘t refuse. to sell them the house, but there are other ways of stamping on black hands. They selertorl a house, put down a deposit, -- and then the loral authorities rondemned the house before they could move in. I regret to say that the realtor was an ex-Canadian. = _ Ag individuals. we Canadians may not he sifge to do much. but we can trv to he "ndrrstanding nd sympathe- tir tnwnrdn all Americans caught In this 'rt',',',',,',)"; we can romemhor that Negroes have suffered muchnnd long. and that. there an: decent people on both sides, trying tn find the right way home.
