Toward No Man's Land
fFUTE SOMEWHAT STARTLING realization that there are some
'*■ other cherished and worthy "rights" besides those that have
come to be known in the great surging crusade for black and
white integration as "civil rights” is forcibly brought to mind in
the current issue of the National Review Bulletin.
The publication sees in this "hot pursuit of social goals” the
same spirit of desperate urgency that drives a nation at war —
in which "we must, as in belief of victory' in wartime, be prepared
to adjourn any commonly understood rights that stand in our
way. . . .” And National Review's observer of this frenetic scene
cites some examples:
"For instance: In New York last week the Commission on
Human Rights has called for giving Negro workers preferential
treatment, to make up for the discrimination of 100 years.’ The
right of white people to equal treatment, it is proposed, shall be
set aside.
"For instance: In the United Nations last week a resolution
was passed, in the name of racial equality, demanding that South
Africa change its domestic policies. The right of a state to govern
its own affairs is to be set aside.
"For instance: In Washington last week a committee of
Congress endorsed an omnibus civil rights bill. It is proposed
among other things, to deprive the individual entrepreneur of the
right to manage his business according to his own lights.
’'For instance, South Dakota took steps last week to pass,
and enact into law, a constitutional amendment outlawing the
poll tax. The right of the individual state to decide what are the
proper conditions for the exercise of the vote is to be eliminated.
"Howf far is it all to go?” the magazine asks. "Last week the
United Nations revived a provision of the Genocide Convention
calling for criminal penalties against anyone who raised his voice
in such a way as to stimulate invidious feelings against any race
or religion. ... It is proposed, then, to redefine the freedom of
speech.
"How far indeed? And when will the proponents of all these
measures stop to realize that we have not much further to go
before we will in fact be inviting the Negro race to join us equally
in an unfree society?”
We will have gone far out of our way, indeed, to prove the
adage that hell is paved with good intentions.
Grassroots Opinion
LENNOX, S.D., INDEPENDENT: "In observing some gov
ernment officials’ refusal to face reality in dealing with the adver
saries of our system, we are reminded of the man who jumped
out of a 40th story window, and when passing the fifth story
called out to a friend, "It hasn’t hurt yet.
