Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - August 23, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky vol. 80, no. 109 it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening Algi St 23, 1958 by Carrier 30 per week by mail $7.50 per year prejudice and history in this country where Public officials Are supposed to be chosen by an a informed the real danger is the astonishing ignorance of prejudiced minds each owner of which has one vote. I have a letter from a Reader in Pawtucket Rhode Island who apparently is prejudiced against the British the masons and Quot the right honorable lord prime minister or. Winston rejecting the idea of the collapse of the British Empire he says a a. They Are playing Possum. They Are doing what they Are doing for a reason. The reason is to get the United states of America i my country involved in this mid a Century persecution of Peoples who have increased and multiplied j thereby becoming a threat to the British Way of thinking and land lording the world a too this May appear to be an Absurdity hut such absurdities Are not unusual. There is a Man in Syracuse who lives in the United j states and who hates it. He will not go to a spot on Earth that he loves because he makes a better living Here. Similarly there Are the 1 francophile and the Franco Hobes the pro chinese and the anti Chi j Nese the pro japanese and the an-1 to japanese. These prejudices Are often based on nothing. They Are not even a product of jealousy which alone can explain the Navy brass hatred for Admiral Hyman Rickover. Is he everlastingly to be persecuted by j those whom the lord did not Grace with intelligence or is he to resign from the Navy As general James Gavin did from the army so j that he might use his intelligence i unfettered i Bank robbers try jail break history has no use for this sort of Lack of intelligence. The race goes to the smart and the Swift. We Are in a War of brains. Admirals Are wearing dungarees and generals do not sit on horseback. A women chemist or physicist can be As valuable to the armed services of a country As tile Best marched West Pointer. Too it is a changed world and what j has made the change Are two tie-1 Mendouse forces neither of which i has anything to do with the year 1958, except that we witness the j consequences As they unfold. The i strongest of these forces is a j to onanism which is very different from patriotism nationalism asserts itself As a Quality of superiority. For j instance there Are 12 Arab nations i but arabic nationalism is unrelated to any one of them it relates itself rather to a civilization to which these states Are in differing manners joined. I surely the Arab of the saudi arabian Doser is different from the1 Arab of the salons of Cairo or on the Beach of Lebanon. As one goes far Back into their histories none of these people have common an. Rectors nor even identical cultural a developments. Nevertheless they find them selves bound by religion As no european states Are bound to each other by religion. Ireland and Spain Italy and Poland Are not associated with each other because they Are Catholic countries nor is there an association Between great Britain and Russia because of affinities of their forms of christianity. Uthe Rock Law Carroll h 1-Lensworth, Dean of Arkansas House of representatives and mrs. Hollensworth Are shown in Little Rock with the integration question uppermost in their minds. Hollensworth said he thinks a special session of the legislature is necessary but a we will not have to aet so quickly now that an integration stay has been granted.

Sues Russia for shooting Down american plane arabic nationalism is deeply moved by its linguistic relationships but that is not True in the West where languages with common ancestry such As italian French portuguese and rumanian do not produce political affinities. Nationalism is weak and backward countries is often a revolt against what is erroneously called colonialism.

And when As a matter of policy after world War i. The Quot White meaning generally a britishers tried to Truckle under in the Hope of winning approval. It looked wrong and was not believed. Too the other Force of course is the new weapons which make a scientist or a Mechanic More valuable than a general of infantry. The new weapons have changed geography and have made the North pole a Field of Battle whereas in the past one thought of Flanders Fields As battlefields. The nearest enemy to the United states is soviet Russia just on the other Side of the North pole.
