Britain s Race Problem
Race riots at Nottingham, a city in the Eng
lish midlands, and more recently in the Notting
Hill district of London fraught with neo-Fascist
overtones are posing political problems that ap
pear to be out of all proportion to their size and
frequency.
A proposal to control the arrival in Britain of
Negro workers by quotas has been advanced by
both of Nottingham's members of Parliament
one Conservative and one Laborite. A similar
resolution is on the agenda for the Conservative
Party conference this autumn. And the riots fig?
ure to be a bitter subject of debate when Parlia
ment reopens in October.
HTHE Nottingham riots involved some 200 per-
sons the night of Aug. 23, with another 2,000
watching the street fighting. A correspondent for
the "Manchester Guardian Weekly" attributes
the Nottingham violence to an "attack on white
people . . . (which) was largely the work of a
group of 'irresponsible' colored men, mostly West
Indians." But these were retaliating for "previous
assaults", in the preceding 14 days by white "ted
dy boys" the British, equivalent of our own juv
enile delinquents.
The violence in the
west London erupted a week later along the same
lines, running on for several evenings. And the
"Guardian" warned: "The trouble is infectious.
Similar incidents may well take place in the slum
quarters of other cities."
CEX, unemployment, housing appear to be the
key words to Britain's new race problems.
Some British girls, particularly those of the in
dustrial working class, were attracted to free-
spending U. S. Negro GIs in World War II, and
similar types have been dating West Indian im
migrants. The white "teddy boys" jealously vent
their anger on all Negroes. Moreover, one white
women married to a West Indian caught up in
the Nottingham riot complains, "if you are mar
ried to a black man everybody treats you like you
were a common prostitute."
As of July 1, Great Britain, which until very
recently was enjoying full employment, had 412,
000 unemployed, or 1.9 per cent of the labor
force. The proportion of jobless among colored
and Asiatic immigrant workers is much higher
than among British workers as a whole. For ex
ample, in Nottingham there are about 430 color
ed men unemployed out ot a total zuuu jooiess.
-.
ON THE other hand, colored men who do find
work are frugal, and some have been able
to buy homes on mortgage for 600 or 700 pounds
$1680 to $1960. This while Britain sutlers
what the Liberal "News Chronicle" calls a serious
housing shortage. The "teddy boys" also resent
the flashy automobiles some Negroes have been
able to buy.
Britain has only about 200,000 colored work
ers, including 110,000 West Indians, 60,000
Indians and Pakistanis, and an indeterminate
number of West Africans. This is as' against 23,
800,000 employed on July 1. But the West In
dians continue to arrive by the boatload, drama
tizing an already tense situation.
Trade union groups in Sheffield and Birm
ingham have formally asked to be-notified of
cases of discrimination. Meantime, the "News
Chronicle" comments:
"It would be disgraceful if Britain became a color
bar country, and any control would have to be univer
sally applied without discrimination of race or color.
The object of immigration control must not be to ex
clude colored people, but to ensure that all who come
to Britain will have a chance of living amicably with
us.
What is Deliberate Speed?
Technically, the issue before the U. S. Su
preme Court at its special session on the Little
Rock, Ark., school crisis is whether to vacate a
stay granted by the Eighth Circuit Court of Ap
peals from its own order vacating in turn an order
granted by District Judge Harry L. Lemley, June
23. The Lemley order delayed integration in
Little Rock schools for 30 months, or until Jan
uary 1961.
But in a larger sense the issue appears to be,
what is meant by "with all deliberate speed?"
The phrase comes from the Supreme Court
decision of May 31, 1955, outlining the manner
in which its historic anti-segregation decision of
May 17, 1954, should be carried out. Federal
district courts were directed to enter decrees
"necessary and proper to admit (pupils) to public
schools on a racially non-discriminatory basis
with all deliberate speed."
.
THE phrase "with all deliberate speed" was not
in itself original. Mr. Justice Holmes referred
to it in a Supreme Court opinion in 1911, setting
forth the principle that "a state cannot be expect
ed to move with the celerity of a private busin
essman ; it is enough if it proceeds, in the lang
uage of the English Chanceiy, with all deliberate
speed."
Opponents of segregation wish that the Su
preme Court's 1955 implementation order had
been more explicit. But at least one legal ana
lyst suggests that the Court was intentionally
vague, calling "deliberate speed" a "worthy com
panion to such other artfully indefinite phrases
m the Constitution itself as 'due process,' 'equal
protection of the laws,' and 'commerce . . . among
the several states'." E.R.R.

Matter of Fact
ARGUMENTS AT THE
BRINK
Washington - The only way
to make sense about the ugly
crisis in the Formosa Straits
is to distin
g u i s h very
to
clearly be-
tween the
"why" of the
existing situa
tion and the
"wherefore"
of the policy
for dealing
with that situ-
Joseph Alsop
It is easy enough to give
the "wherefore" of the decis
ion to use U. S. forces, if need
be, for the defense of Quemoy
and the Matsus. 'The follow
ing main points have been
anxiously canvassed by the
leading American policy-makers
in the past three weeks.
First, the loss of the islands
could very easily result in the
subsequent - loss of Formosa
itself .' Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-shek has nearly a third
of his army, and more than
a third of his very best troops
on Quemoy and the Matsus.
He also has a large share of
his . best American military
equipment on the islands-
about half a billion dollars
worth. The Formosa combina
tion 'of mainland leadership
and native population is in
herently fragile. A shattering
defeat on the offshore islands
would therefore shake
Chiang's government to its
foundations, opening enor
mous cracks and fissures for
the levers and crowbars of
Communist subversion.
CECOND, for reasons that
will be given, America's
prestige in Asia is just as
much committed on the is
lands as Chiang's prestige
Thus a Communist victory on
Quemoy andor the Matsus
would surely cause a far
spreading political earth
quake. It would in fact, alter
the policy or even endanger
the existence of every Western-oriented
and non-Commu
nist Asian government from.
Japan around the great cres
cent to Burma, .including even
the Philippine government.
Third, and perhaps most
important of all, the reper
cussions of a Communist vic
tory on Quemoy and the
Matsus would by no means
end in Asia. Another back
down, another surrender on
these little islands would en
courage new Communist ad
ventures at other points
around the world, with West
ern Europe itself not exclud
ed. Berlin is the most exposed
and one of the most vital of
all the positions vital to the
West. The Communist need to
cut this infection-spot of free
dom out of the heart of East
Germany is currently more
urgent than ever. Surrender
at Quemoy, and Berlin would
be next on the list.
The "wherefore" of the
American policy can in fact
be quite simply summed up.
It is designed to prevent a
chain-reaction of other Com
munist challenges and West
ern defeats, that would begin
on the rocky islands in the
Formosa Straits, but would
end in very much more criti
cal areas. But that leaves the
question, why on earth was a
situation ever allowed to
arise, in which so much de
pends on holding a position
like Quemoy?
THE "why" story begins
with an adman's foreign
policy gesture, the famous
"unleashing" of Chiang Kai
shek. Even after the unleash
ing, Chiang himself saw that
his regular troops and his po
litical prestige ought not to
be committed on the offshore
islands, which he was then
treating as entirely expend
able. He made the commit
ment on the islands under
severe American pressure,
which was applied to give
substance to the unleashing.
Then the American govern-
WHEN YA CALLED ttfc? I'VE
THAT'S WW1.'
By Joseph Alsop
ment itself 'saw that Quemoy
and the Matsus had better be
quietly abandoned, after the
warning crisis in the winter
of 1956, which ended in the
evacuation of the Tachen
Islands. Assistant Secretary
of State Walter Robertson
was charged with persuading
Cniang to make the , move,
But Robertson used only the
gentlest persuasion. Chiang
recalled the past American
pressure, and argued that his
government could not stand
the blow of another evacua
tion. Chiang was quite open
ly encouraged by Admirals
Arthur Radford and Felix
Stump, who even approved
the continuing build-up of
Chiang's island garrison.
I?VEN so, Moscow and Pe-
king would probably not
have risked an attack on the
offshore islands at this time,
if . the Communist high com
mand had not just been treat
ed to such a display of Ameri
can feeble-forcefulness during
the Middle Eastern crisis.
As events are proving, an
enormous Western defeat was
concealed behind the Leban
ese landing and the strange
transactions in the U.N.
And as this reporter wrote
at the time, our acceptance
of the defeat in the Middle
East directly invited attacks
on every exposed position, de
pending tor its defense on
American firmness and resolu
tion. The offshore islands
were- and are the most ex
posed position of this type.
Over-all, therefore, it is im
possible to defend the way we
got into this very nasty mess.
But it is easily possible to de
fend the decision that has
now been taken about the
mess. Nor is there any sense
in the wailing that "Quemoy
and the Matsus are such bad
places to take a stand." The
enemy, alas, also chooses the
places where stands have to
be taken. The enemy always
chooses the most embarras
sing places. And today, it is
already very late to take a
stand.

HONEY ON THE CROW
If one is compelled to eat
crow, it is well to have it
topped off with something
sweet. The honey we detect
in the editorial Bronx cheer
raised over the state to The
Oregonian's suggestion that
Portland would welcome a
one-year stand of the Ashland
Shakespearean Festival is the
evidence that Oregon" editors
are . rarin' to celebrate the
state's 1959 Centennial. They
do not want Portland, in the
phrase of Editor Bill Tugman
of the Port Umpqua Courier,
"trying to hog it all."
Word we had from Ashland
was that the city's celebrated
Shakespearean show was in
danger of eviction. If such is
the case, we still hold the
view that Portland or some
other city say neighboring
Medford should offer a stagp
for the Centennial year. If
Ashland purposes to do that,
there is, of course, no need
for even a one-year change in
site.
We hope that the hospitable
people of Ashland will take it
as a compliment that some
Portlanders covet their Fes
tival, just as we covet at times
the sandy beaches of the coast
counties. Now that we have
been editorially convinced
that the former is just as un
obtainable as the latter, we'd
be cheered to hear of Ash
land's plans for a Centennial
year Festival free of the men

WASHINGTON PRIVACY
Washington - There is much
that is wrong with Washing
ton as a national community
and these
s h ortcomings
are faithfully
and sometimes
perhaps even
v e h e mently
reported for
the country's
information.
Undoubted
ly, we have
wuiiam s.white gt here vast
numbers of Federal bureau
crats whose dogged earnest
ness in annoying the citizens
of the republic - with billions
of printed forms in duplicate,
triplicate and worse must be
conceded.
And, in truth, we have got
here a center of endless alarm
and crisis and confusion to
the rest of the nation. If it
isn't the State Department
and Lebanon then it is the
Pentagon and Quemoy or the
Justice Department and Little
Rock.
Admittedly, too, the coun
try's eardrums most of the
time are assailed by a pitiless
clack and clamor from this
political city. By no fair esti
mate can it be passed off as
a place of reserve and calm
deliberation.
GRANTING all -this, how
ever, there are verv im
portant things to be said for
this place and that is the
theme of this little piece.
Washington, for all its
faults, does not yet have
and with good fortune may
not soon have - the new all-
plastiglass telephone booth.
This is a snugly fitting sort
of bulb under which the tele
phone user sits much as the
yellowish slice of coconut
cake used to sit under the
glass bell on the counter of a
railroad restaurant. .
The great triumph of this
extraordinary symbol of
progress," according to a
photo caption, is that it pro
vides "maximum visibility."
To an unscientfc and un-
progressve type it would ap
pear that the principal value
of this "maximum visibility"
could hardly be to the man
who puts in a dime to use the
phone. Rather, it would be to
such worthy strollers-by as
might like to watch him make
his call.
This, ho.wever, is a slight
diversion from the point of
the moment, and so the
thought will be put aside.
AGAIN, political Washing
ton, for all its sins, is
happily much less unprogres
sive than is big business gen
erally in this: no wife here
must be analyzed and approv
ed by her husband's boss. The
philosophy in business is that
man can't be a good junior
executive unless his wife "fits
in witn wnatever jolly sales
task force to which he may
belong.
The fact that some top cor
poration executives had been
providing this arresting ad
visory service to lesser and
would-be corporation execu
tives has, of course, long been
known. But how very helpful
it has become was only re
cently illustrated. In a United
Press International dispatch
big-business man has kindly
summarized this work for the
general public by announcing
several categories of wives
with which business has com
pletely lost patience.
The complaining woman,
the dominating woman, the
possessive woman, tne wite-
in-a-rut, the bored woman:
none of these, it seems, will
do at all.
This instance of progress in
the art of advice and con
sultation, like the scientific
progress so strikingly shown
in the "bubbletop" telephone
booth, might seem to some not
ecessarily desirable pro
gress. But this, too, is rather
besidethe present point; so
it, too, is put aside.
IfHAT is the point, then?
' Why is it that the" invasion
of privacy in this country is
This test is important beyond
its real significance because
it may set in motion forces

poking into people's private
lives and private affairs in a
kind of witless, unintentonal
insolence. A less "progressive"
American would have stood
this sort of thing for 15 min
utes -or make it 10.
True, we are accustomed in
Washington to putting the
private life of any President,
and the private lives of a very
few other top officials, under
an endless public surveil
lance. But they did know this
to be a part of the job, and
they are, after all, public of

-Whether Public Service

proud to say that many of my

is true that Medford has lit

to check each teen-age home
to see what they're doing, nor
does our Mail Tribune editor'
nave lime io pian your cniia s
recreation, his job is to re
port the news, and believe
me, he'd rather report an out
door Bar-B-Q for teenagers
than a teen aged scandal.
Then again, the well-to-do
people of our valley are not
responsible for establishing
our children's recreation. Get
to know your child, share his
secrets, heart aches, etc. Don't
laugh at his silly little prob-lems-they're
not silly and
they're not little!
Something must be done to
curb our teen-aged delin
quency, and an of us must
help, but the job is small if
started in your own home. If
each of us is responsible for
his own, and doesn't shirk
his duties, there will soon be
no problem for the police. My
only suggestion in a case such
as this, is that punishment
should be bestowed upon the
parents instead of the child.
The parents would soon learn
to know where their children
are and what they're doing!
