Cyprus and Algeria
The Western alliance watches with more than friendly concern the
growing difficulties of two of its members in nonself-governing terri
tories. In Cyprus, Britain becomes increasingly involved in problems
of enforcing order against rebellious elements. In Algeria, France
confronts a similar challenge.
In neither area does a victory over, the rebels appear any nearer.
Meanwhile in both areas the hope of establishing conditions in which
negotiations can take place becomes more remote. Murderous Cypriote
terrorism is answered by British executions. Increased rebel forays
in Algeria bring step-ups in French forces there, plus a statement by
residing French Minister Robert Lacoste that the rebel objective is
to bring foreign intervention.
As one of France’s soundest and most-forward-looking North Afri
can administrators, M. Lacoste deserves international attention. His
words underscore a danger to Western positions throughout the Medi
terranean area. But they also highlight a certain imaginativeness in
rebel positions not only in Algeria but aso in Cyprus which needs to
be matched in Paris and London.
In both the French- and British-ruled territories the rebels de
pend partly on their own violent effectiveness. But their long-run
hope is pinned to trends in world opinion—or to divisions or mere
confusions of thought—which often prevent “colonial” powers from
winning the sympathetic hearing they desire either at home or abroad.
In coupling Cyprus and Algeria we have no intention of making
these crises look basically similar. They are not, except in the most
general sense.
In both cases, however, the ruling power pursues unwillingly but,
as it feels, necessarily a policy of repression. The stated objective is
to restore order so that negotiations with truly representative leaders
can begin. Day by day this statement is shown to be insufficient. The
failure of earlier negotiations brought on the strife. What is needed
to help end it is a statement of some new outlook on the methods and
objectives of negotiations.
The objective needs to be briefly set forth, as “federation” for
Algeria with France, for example, would be. And a new statement
by London aiming to assuage Cypriote dissatisfaction with earlier
British ideas for a Cypriote parliament might prove timely. It might
help to do what the deportation of Archbishop Makarios has by no
means accomplished.
To stand off at three to five thousand miles and say these things
is relatively easy. To formulate programs which appeal even to moder
ate reform elements in disaffected territories while keeping a neces
sary minimum of political support on the home front—this is much
harder.
Nevertheless, if developments in Cyprus and in Algeria maintain
their present unfortunate direction, those who are having to apply
force there may aiso be obliged to replan their political approaches.
They may have to offer new hopes around which their friends, and
the inbetweens, and even the more reasonable of their opponents
can rally.
George of Georgia
The decision of Walter F. George not to seek a seventh term in the
United States Senate carries national and international significance. It
will take from the Senate its most influential member. It will take
from the Eisenhower administration its wisest and most effective ally
in the development of bipartisan foreign policy.
It is good to learn that Mr. George expects to continue his service
in the field of international cooperation as the President’s personal
representative in the reshaping of NATO. But in all frankness it is
unlikely that such work can reach the importance of the senator’s
great service as leader of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee
and of conservative Democrats in Congress.
The cooperation Mr. George has given the Eisenhower administra
tion as an opposition leader is often compared with that rendered by
Senator Vandenberg to President Truman. It was less dramatic, for
it involved no such break with past positions, but it was no less coura
geous and possibly even better informed. And it carried the same
high qualities of personal conviction and patriotism rising above petty
partisanship.
While much regret is rightly expressed over the gap Mr. George
will leave in the Senate, the gloom should not be exaggerated. Lead
ership of the Foreign Relations Committee will not fall into uncooper
ative or uninformed hands. And some damage might have been done
in the South to the cause of international cooperation if it had be
come mixed up in a bitter battle in Georgia over segregation.
former Governor Herman Talmadge, leading prospect as a suc
cessor, is extreme on racial issues, but has support from some of the
same business interests which backed Mr. George. He is now chal
lenged, not by the senator in person, but by the example he leaves
of able, broad-gauged service to the whole nation.
French Author Describes
Background of Montgomery
What is the source of strength of the five-month old protest move
ment against racial segregation on buses in Montgomery, Alabama?
Why is it the best organized mass protest movement of Negroes the
South has seen in generations? Can similar movements be expected
to grow throughout the South?
The answers to these and other questions about developments on
the highly explosive civil rights front are indicated in a book now
available in English for the first time.
“Negroes on the March—A Frenchman’s Report on the American
Negro Struggle,” is a translation of part of a much larger work en
titled “Whither the American People?” by the noted author, Daniel
Guerin. t
Although written in 1949, the newly-published 192-page volume is
as timely as this week’s newspaper. With remarkable insight Guerin
was able then to describe the facts about Montgomery and Alabama
which have recently proved so significant:
For example, the importance of the Montgomery Negroes’ fight
against the Alabama anti-labor boycott law in the bus segregation pro
test may be better understood with this bit of background about the
period in which the anti-boycott law was adopted:
“The United Mine Workers was one of the exceptional AFL unions
which from its inception took a liberal attitude toward Negro work
ers.

Aurora, which has named itself the “Deepwell Irrigation
Center of the Nation” has so much water that the Aurora Junior
Chamber of Commerce is making an artificial lake in the City
Park. The lake will be kept supplied by an irrigation well which
is at the edge of the pond. Special colored lights are being in
stalled to be played upon the water at night as it is pumped into
the pond. A spillway will carry the overflow into a nearby creek.

uses!)

the Schuyler Sun revealed last week. Under consideration is the
installation of a 4000 KW turbine-type generator which, with other
alterations, will cost $900,000. Engineers who have made a study
of the plant’s business claim that the expenditure is warranted
based on the present and past earnings of the plant. The contem
plated expansion will provide sufficient current for the city un

In the Lyons, Nebraska park there is a “cemetery lot” which
is reserved for victims of traffic accidents. The plot is divided
into three sections—one for 1954—another for 1955 and the last
for ’56. Last week the first cross was placed in the lot for 1956.
Each cross represents a death in Burt County.
Two are marked for 1954. There are five crosses for 1955 and
the first for ’56 has been put into place.
It is a very graphic reminder of traffic safety.

“In Alabama, one of the vassal states of the Southern counter
revolution, the union encountered some difficulty in securing a foot
hold. During the 1908 strike, an employer-inspired ‘citizens commit
tee’ advised the union that ‘the people of Alabama would never toler
ate the organization and striking of Negroes along with white men.’
The fact that 76 percent of the strikers in 1920-21 were Negroes
brought the rage of the U. S. Steel underlings to the boiling point.”
Of particular current interest is Guerin’s almost prophetic ap
preciation of the role of a man who has since become one of the out
standing leaders and organizers of the Montgomery bus protest move
ment.
“Out of working class unionism,” he wrote, “emerged a new body
of Negro leaders who found themseves simultaneously called to lead
ing positions in labor and promoted to the rank of leaders in the Ne
gro community.
“A living example of this evolution was presented to me by E. D.
Nixon of Montgomery, Ala., a vigorous colored union militant who
was the leading spirit in his city both of the local union of Sleeping
Car Porters and the local branch of the NAACP. What a difference
from other branches of the Association.! Nixon has both feet
on the ground. He is linked to the masses. He speaks their language.
He has organized the work of defense with the precision and method
of a trade unionist. Men like E. D. Nixon (to name only him) incar
nate the alliance which has at last been consummated between the
race and labor.”
Guerin deals in a forthright fashion with the whole range of con
troversial subjects covered by the titles of the two parts of the book:
“America’s Biggest Scandal” and “Problems of Negro Emancipation.”
In a new introduction written for the first English translation of
“Negroes on the March,” the French author anticipates and answers
in advance criticism for “meddling in American domestic affairs” and
neglecting the crimes of French colonialism.
He notes that he received such criticism in a letter from Atlanta,
Georgia, when parts of this book appeared in issues of the Pittsburgh
Courier from March 31 to April 28, 1951.
“I should like here to reply,” Guerin says in the introduction,
“that in the eyes of an internationalist, injustice has no fatherland;
that injustice in Tunis or Saigon does not excuse injustice in Atlanta;
that the present writer has publicly fought French imperialism for
years, and has just devoted an entire book (Au Services des Colonises,
1930-1953.) to the denunciation of a collective crime which, as long as
it is perpetuated on territory under French rule, will make him
ashamed that he is French.”
