Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 28, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news partly Cloudy Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. Too these Days by John Chamberlain a world hell Bent for suicide i done to think we re going to have to worry very much about the population explosion. The human race seems to be going collectively crazy and soon Large numbers of humourless people will have deprived themselves of the Opportunity of making a living. The craze for self elimination has even struck new Yorkus Chinatown were some of the newly arrived chinese a at least one assumes they Are new to the area a have been putting up signs a we Are not a zoo. Keep the tourist buses now this is a strange thing in a world that depends on cultural interchange for much of its bread and butter. If v Estern tourists lost interest in Eastern cultures we would be deprived of some of the Best cuisines in the world. Does the proprietor of a chinese restaurant specializing in cantonese or Sze Chuan delicacies consider himself to be a zoo keeper does his chef think of himself As an elephant in a Cage no they Are just people intent on making a living by giving pleasure to other people if Chinatown in new York a or in san Francisco a were closed to tourists considerable understanding would go out of our life. And a whole ethnic group would be reduced to living on a dole., too the Chinatown business is symptomatic. Tourists who go to the West indies with nothing More malevolent in mind than getting a bit of suntan and snorkelling amid the fish come Home with stories about the resentment they encounter from local populations a Friend who edits a paper on the Island of St. Croix tells me it is not the native Blacks who stir up animus against the tourists the older natives Are predisposed to like visitors for the tourist Trade gives a dramatic fillip to the local Standard of living. According to my editor Friend it is Young Blacks who have returned from the Continental United states that have been dripping ideological Poison into the ears of their seniors. The net effect if things go far enough would be to turn the Caribbean islands into a vast poorhouse. The prime minister of Tho Bahama islands Lynden Pindling has begun to sense the idiocy of biting the touristic hands that do so much to take local populations off the roots and berries Standard. He has dared the Wrath of his inverse racists by advising the hotel and resort help to be a bit More courteous than they have been in recent years. Too the senselessness of pushing ideological fights to violent extremes is no better illustrated than when the afro asian bloc in the in Calls for economic Boycott and military sanctions against Rhodesia and South Africa. Apartheid is an ugly thing admittedly and i for one done to want to live in a segregated society. Nevertheless the violent overthrow of the White rulers in Rhodesia and South Africa far from expanding the area of human Freedom would Only serve to create a terrifying amount of Black misery. Nathaniel Weyl in an excellent Book called a a traitors end a which tells about the Rise and fall of the communist movement in South Africa observes that the per capita income of the Black states Between the Sahara desert and the Zambesi River is $83 a year As against $250 for the average South african Bantu. And the rhodesian Bantu earns about twice As much As his brother in the Black african nations. Because of the economic Factor Blacks from North of the Zambesi struggle to slip into the nations that discriminate socially against them. This is no argument for discrimination. It is a warning however that a men who vote with their feet to make a living have nothing to gain from the violent overturn of institutions. The evolutionary approach to change is the Only approach that offers a guarantee against self inflicted genocide. It.
