Member of Nigerian Tribe Addresses
Campus NAACP on Racial Prejudice
Godfrey Ibom, 4nember of the
largest tribe in Nigeria, West Af
rica, and a foreign student here,
told the local chapter of the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People Tuesday
night that his land is the “black
man’s country.” “There is no ra
cial prejudice there," he said.
Basdeo O. Maharajh of Trinidad,
also a foreign student, spoke to the
group, too.
Ibom said that before he came
to the United States he learned
that one of the ideas commonly
•held here regarding the Negro is
that Negroes arc more prone to
crime. He then pointed out that in
Nigeria, a land of four hundred
thousand square miles or about as
large as Texas and Oklahoma com
bined, there are only ten thousand
policemen.
“We are well equipped to learn
what is going on in the world,” he
said. “We have Reuters and other
news gathering agencies. If an
event of racial importance happens
in the United States, we know
- about it the next day.” Ibom men
tioned the case of the NAACF
official whose home in Florida was
j bombed when he refused to heed a
j warning to get out of the neigh
borhood.
The other speaker, Maharajh,
who has been in this country for a
few years, thought that the enact
ment of some legislation that could
be enforced would go a long way
toward solving the racial situation.
He said that in India now there are
jails full of people who have not
broken the caste barriers.
“There is an attempt to educate
these people while they are in
jail”, he stated. Both speakers
wore of the opinion that British
colonial policies have done much to
prolong racial discrimination
against colored people.

U.S. Needs Eisenhower, Hoffman
Declares

war an one way to get them to
change.
“We must not accept that; it’s
a very bitter solution,” he said.
And wd can’t continue to sup
port a national defense establish
ment costing some 50 or 60 billion
dollars a year and also have a
sound economy, he added.
“We'll have to reduce it to 20 bil
lion,” Hoffman averred. He ex
plained that he’s not opposed to
building up our strength, but
staying with the cold war for 15
or 20 years is not the answer to
our problem.”
He feels that the Russians, in not
too many years, might say—if Eis
enhower is elected -“Maybe the
game’s up” and agree to sit down
and find a peaceful solution to
world problems.
A Profound Effect
If Eisenhower, in his acceptance
speech after being nominated, were
to say to the Russians “We want
peace we yearn for peace with
you,” that message would pierce
the Iron Curtain and have a pro
found effect on the Russian peo
ple.
“The destiny of your genera
tion,” he told the students in the
audience, "w/5l be found or lost in
the next four years.”
A question about Eisenhower’s
stand on domestic issues — the
Tidelands oil case was cited—was
parried by Hoffman, who said he
was speaking only "about Eisen
hower, not for Eisenhower.” He did
say, though, that the general look
ed at problems not from the point
of politics but from the point of
"what's the best solution?”
“That's something politicians
don’t know too much about,” he re
marked.
Another questioner wanted to
known if Russia would consider the
i
election of a military man an in
dication that the U.S. was really
out to destroy them. Hoffman said
"no.”
“He’s a military man who thinks
along civilian lines,” he stated. If
Eisenhower went into office and
made his feelings about peace crys
tal clear to the Russians, there
would be no danger of misinterpre
tation, Hoffman asserted.

V Who Lives Next Door?
V
• Wliat's wrong, Joe? You finally
got that new house, didn’t you?
You ought to be real happy. But
you look like you ate something
that didn’t agree with you.
Worried about the people next
door? Why? Different religion?
Different sounding names?
So what?
Stop worrying, Joe. You’ll find
them real Americans. You may
even get to like them. If you don’t,
that’s all right too. Just leave
them alone and they’ll leave you
alone. But the chances are, ones
you really get to know them, you’ll
find them okay.
In the meantime, count your
blessings. You’re in a fine new
house with improvements that
you couldn’t find anywhere else
but in America. And how did
America get that way? Because
of a lot of people with even fun
nier sounding names than the
ones your neighbors have. Names
like Kosciusko, Pulaski, Haym
Salomon.
Make sure that you are not
spreading rumors against a race
or a religion. Speak up, wherever
you are, against prejudices, and
work for better understanding.
Remember that’s being a good
American.
