MFHE GOVERNORS HAD drifted out into the hall
I and the President followed them, leaving the
man from South America almost alone and in the
predicament of wondering what he should do. He
obviously felt a little ill at ease. He recognized us
and we engaged in a little small talk about Luci
and Lynda whom he thought to be very attractive,
especially their olive skin. After three meetings,
we almost felt like we knew the Bolivian.
Suddenly President Johnson appeared and ask-
ed, “Won’t you join us for a cup of coffee?” It was
a big relief to know that President Johnson hadn't
forgotten President Barrientos!
£0 IT WAS THAT news of I‘resident Barrientos’
9 death Sunday in a helicopter crash brought back
memories of the’handsome 43 - year - old availor
who made Bolivia a popular leader.
In addition to seven children of their own, the
first couple of Bolivia had “adopted” 50 other
children and were responsible for their welfare
and ediu ution
Last year Drew Pearson visited the Bolivian
President and his wife in South America. He wrote
an interesting account of the visit which we publish-
ed along with some pictures we had taken at the
barbecue in Maryland.

The farmer turned on hi- heel and left, saying,

49 BASIC CAUSE of many of America's ills is the
self • righteous arrogance which is typical
of a huge segment of our population.
This tjpc (1) views everything as black and
white. (2) always considers itself 10(1 per cent
“white'', and (3) believes that the end Justifies the
means.
W64IS TYFE OF AMERICAN is seen and heard
I whenever a problem of any kind arises.
It was seen in the speak softly and carry a big
stick" policy of Theodore Roosevelt.
This policy has some- merit under certain sit-
uation- If one i- i.od. ,f one has some way of
knowing that h> is too |» r cent right and his adver-
sary is Pii |x r c ent wrong, then he can safely go to
it with hi- lug slitk'
Bui the trouble is, sometimes this person isn’t
God and he isn't 100 per cent right. . .yet, he is
willing to iru-i oven lodgment and clobber over
the head anyone who gets in his way. . because
he happens to be big enough to get the job done.
lONSIDER THE PRESENT racial unrest in the
I'nited State- It is a monument to the futility
ol the • -peak softly and carry a big stick” policy
as applied to ra. e relations in this country for the
past century.
One hundred years ago the Negro was fn*cd
from slavery. In th.cory. he became a citizen of
this country. In thenry, he was to enjoy equal rights
along with all other Americans.
Hut many \mencans didn't approve the aboli-
tion of slavery They simply said, by their actions,
• We will not accept the action of ihe United States
government in granting full citizenship to the Negro.
Ii may be* the law. but we will not abide by the law
We will employ every device necessary to keep the*
Negro in his place’. Never in a thousand years will
we change. If we have to use threats, intimidations,
a white robe, a buil whip, or Ihe noo-e, we will do
so. We don't go along with federal laws which we
disapprove and wc refuse to obey them ”
AND THEY'VE GOTTEN away with this for 100
years, liny have forced the government to
ri -ort to civil rights legislation which -hould never
have been necessary if the American people had
abided by the: spirit of the law.
It weirked all right so long as the one carrying
the big club was in the saddle and no one felt big
enough to challenge him.

or otherwise.
Our impatience is not with those* who think the

Our impatience is with those who care* not one

We* go along with the* per-on who says, “The
first order of bit-mess is to stop all law violations,
to tiring to tustice those* who have violated the
law . then nc will sit down and analyze the
complaints of the students and try to determine to
the be-t of our ability if and where changes need
to lx* made.”
We tin NOT go along with the person who says,
“What they neeel to do is to call exit the army,
drag the protestors off to jail, and keep them there
until they are ready to come back, ki— the* feet of
the* Establishment, and promise that ne*ver again
will they entertain the unholy thought that -omething
might Ik* wrung with the institutkm, that the Es-
tablishment isn't God ”
For years Southern states were warned what to
expect if they didn't moderate their attitude towards
the Nc*gro . but the* answer was, “Never in a
thousand year-'”
For years colleges have been warned of changes
that needed to lie made in a changing society. . .

In contrast, after World War 11. although we
