Jesse J&ckson b running for president for once,
good news. '
After the strange and illegal invasion of Grenada,
after a summer and fall In which the installation cf a
new cluster of mbsiles in Western Europe became
certain, there is at last an indication that we may
not be in for four more years of American politics as
a Western shootout Although it's unlikely Jackson
will win the Democratic nomination, hb
may force the needs of blacks and ether minority
to see that

groups to be addressed. It may be the most exciting
part of the coming presidential election,
. What Jackson proposes is to brinj large numbers
of blacks, women, Ilispanics and other disaffected
people together in a "Rainbow Coalition" who have
unta now seen little reason to be politically involved
Although there are troubling elements of self
aggrandizement in Jackson's approach to politics,
he does have a good opportunity to form and
further a movement of political involvement by
people who have been shut out cf the system.
As a demonstration cf what his "Rainbow Coali
tion" means in real terms, Jackson said he will "try"
to select a female running mate if nominated. He
also. has welcomed Hispanic people into his cam
paign, offering to Arnold Torres, executive
national director cf United Latin American Citizens,
his deputy campaign rasnsger. .
The election of Harold Washington as mayor of
Chicago was the first of several minority victories in
big cities during the past year, with Wilson Geode
winning his election, ia Philadelphia and Fedcrico
'Tais is tlw time to decide and to act 9
Pena winning a run-off in Denver. It may take a
presidential campaign, however, for the new con
sciousness of vigor and political energy amcn many
black activists to find its focus, as NAACP head
Benjamin Hooks has suggested.
Many black establishment leaders have expressed
oppositions to Jackson's candidacy, including Wal
ter Fauntroy, a non-voting delegate to the House of
Representatives, and Ccrctta Scott King, widow of
the greatest figure in the civil rights movement, say
ing his race cannot succeed and might harm the
eventual Democratic nominee. - -
This seems to me, however, the discomfort of
leaders who have lost touch with the people they
think they are working for. Jackson is a maverick to
them, hi3 rhetoric though sometimes extremely
effective is embarrassing but most importantly,
he appeals to a lot of people they never could. Many
black leaders have already moderated their de
mands, lowered their expectations, and etttled
quite comfortably with Waiter Llondale.
Although Jackson's slogans are cliched and too
beidy strident, maybe they should listen to him talk:
"If you run, you might lose. If you dent run, you're
guaranteed to lose." .

In the history cf every nation there comes a time
when choices must be made that define the charac
ter of that nation to the rest of the world and to
history. Although few realise it, such a time is fast
approaching in the United States.
- The German people fsecd such choices 0 years
ago. Beset by. inflation, unemployment and the
oppressive Versailles Treaty, the Germans put into
power the nationalistic, 'militaristic right rather
than the peaceful, internationalist left

The government helps to direct this resentment
ty creating scapegoats such as Cuba and Nicaragua.
Ihe result is that rather than directing our concern
