H,1M3 Africa Puts West On Trial At UN By MARCELLE FOUQUET It it now an absolute and urgent necessity that the colored people in the United States give their full sup­ port, and pay close attention to tLe deliberations of the United Nations. It is time to stop being indifferent to what is happening in that universal political body, which has been profoundly transformed by the sudden emergence of thirty-three African members that con­ stitute the largest continental representation in the United Nations membership. In 1946 (the first year of the U.N.), Africa had the smallest representation. XB ’1' xg ’ JeJiBilMto e L. F A C wPRv'I- r.- .i SCHAEFER AWARD: T-Sgt William L.

THE IGNITING SPARK - Tiny in stature but mighty in cour­ age is Mrs. Rom Parks, whose refusal to move to the rear of a bus ignited a spark in Montgomery, Ala. that grew to light the entire country. On a recent visit to New York City, Mrs. Parks reminisces on that historic boycott with NAACP Director of Branches Gleeter B. Current and NAACP Execu­ tive Secretary Roy Wilkins. (Layne Pfcoto) What does it mean? It means that the racial Issues cannot be any « longer just put on the agenda with hun- dreds of other items, waiting eternally for an auspicious moment to be dis­ cussed and discarded. t A great many of these new states suffered from the evil of colonization, and racial discrimination. Therefore they comprehend thoroughly the legiti­ mate aspirations of those, who still are segregated either officially (in South Africa), or de facto as in the United States. Furthermore, African countries have usually the Asian countries on their side to constitute the so-called Afro-Asian bloc. The western countries are no longer having it all their way in the arena of world politics. For instance, two weeks ago, for the first time in the 18-year life of the Security Council, the major) western powers (United States, France and Great Britain) were reduced to abstaining from voting in a minority of three, at the end of a dramatic debate on i whether or not, the United Nations should intervene ! against Portuguese colonial policy in the African state i of Angola. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson negotiated for a week ; without success in search of an acceptable accommo­ dation with the 32 African states.___________ ___ i President Kennedy was caught in a dilemma ; (which seems to be chronic in the life of his administra-, tion), because voting against Dictator Salazar of' Portugal meant that he had to take the same attitude ‘ against the racist government of South Africa a week < later. _ - ____ Indeed the debates on the problem of “apartheid” ] before the Security Council were the most stormy in j its history. African Heads of delegations described the i tragic situation stemming from the fact that three 1 million whites are imposing their pernicious doctrine, of supremacy on thirteen million non-whites. « Actually South Africa, is the only country on earth in which the fundamental questions of civil rights are ' LEGALLY determined according to the color of the skin of the individuals. It is easy to imagine the conse­ quences of such official discrimination. “Black People are,” as the Tunisian delegate to the U.N. said, “daily degraded and humiliated, haunted by the spectre of imprisonment without warrant . . Repeatedly and for a long time, the United Nations have, without any results, warned the South African government of the increasing danger to the peace of the wprld of its barbarious segregation policy. How­ ever, so far, outside of Africa, the inhuman behavior of the white minorities has aroused only the slightest; 4 Story Fall Fatal to Girl Little Tonsa Adams, 1H years old, fell to her death from the fourth floor bed room window of her apartment at 197 W. 128th St. on Monday afternoon. She died several hours later. Police said Tonza was playing on the bed while her mother. Mrs. Helen Adams, was taking a nap Tonza apparently Jumped on the bed and toppled through the screen to her death police said. emotion. This flagrant indifference toward extreme racial prejudice reminds us of what happened in the highly civilized and Christian Germany during the war. The Nazis slaughtered six million Jews in cold blood in con­ formity with their preposterous doctrine of Aryan supremacy. Who, at that time, protested effectively? What nation took a firm stand against the massacre? None. In the case of South Africa, the unamimous pro­ nouncements of the heads of all African States at Addis Ababa last May, woke up the Western Powers. At that time, Mr. Ben Bella, Premier of Algeria, declared, “Let us be prepared to die a little to liberate our oppressed brothers of South Africa and Angola.” The memorable conference drew the attention of the entire world to the racial issues. Black people of America can now count on sincere and powerful support for their civil rights campaign from their African allies In the United Nations. They are closing ranks for they realize they can no longer neglect this new found and promising opportunity open­ BEAUTY FAIR by Claire ’ WIGS ______________ . ed to them. Rev.
