(By G. MacLeod Rosi)
You cannot sojourn south with•

the facets of the problem des.
egregatiOn. However, the follow.
ing observations were primarily
stimulated by an article by the
American Negro leader, Bayard
°Rustin,, which he wrote for
ish, consumption in.` the London
SUridu' Tirrnes, It was Rustin "who
inspired the Civil Rtghts, march
on' Washington and later went to
England to take 'the temperature
and. it was not his first visit,
Previously he had found the.
English gentlemen,, with a sense
of fair play on social issues much
stronger than that of many Amer.
icans, Now however, -he finds the

ated. While his complaint covers
all fields, he singles out employ -
Ment and housing in particular.
EMPLOYMENT
Let us consider these one by
one. Under employment he cites
a Pakistani who was refused sev.
eral jobs. He finds few color.
ed people employed in Britain's
major hotels. But he does not
., offset these exvmples of discrim.
ination by mentioning the numer.
ous doctors and nurses from
India, Pakistan and the British
WestWest Indies, who .form 42 percent
of the staffs of British hospitals.
In one, in Lancashire, there are
no wnite doctors at all. Tyne
Tees TV has just appointed a
West Indian, ,'Claude Alleyne, as
an announcer eio pleads: "I'd

of talent and personality for my.

f came here because my..friends
said: 'Oh, you'll make it there."
=It is at this point that we stum.
ble on the failure of the negro
leaders, to differentiate between
a profession,•admission to which'
is rightfully guarded by a specific
discipline,' as opposed to the
'trades,', for which- minor skills
are demanded. It is admitted that
m :st negroes are subjected to
trade union; discrimination, but

lying to the' majority and are just
as carat le and likely to refuse
the right to work to a white as.
to a negro,. A relevant factual
reason for discrimination hes in
the • output of the -negro being
so much below that of a white.
A cardinal Mistake of the negro
leaders is: their , insistence on
arguing on, a gollective, 'as opo.;
osed to im individual basis, In
so doing they perpetuate the bo.
gus contention' that it is '
agairitt,,the black or coloured skin
that Westerners discrimi},nate.
These leaders ignore, or fail to
see, that what the average white -
demands is solely that the col.
oured man should' practise the
same social ,disciplinary stand•
ards as he does himself.
It is true that ,the white die•
criininates against the blaiek coll-
ectively, and for the good rea.
son that a majority of, the lat.
ter has, as yet, failed to attain
a cultural standard commensur-
able with., his own. On a Per.
sonal basis the white welcomes
. the negro who is intelligent ed.
ticated and socially disciplined
to ,the. same standard of coin.

to be the key to the white man's
discrim'.nation. On the one hand

the other acceptance of the in.
