MacLeod Rosi) You cannot sojourn south with• out becoming aware of more of 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 • British people have become in- ured to discrimination, as examp. les of this action” have proltier. 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 •like • to • be treated as someone of talent and personality for my. seIf=not because of My colour.. 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 then a these same unions are already well outside the law app. 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. patibility as himself. This seems to be the key to the white man's discrim'.nation. On the one hand resentment" of the majority; on the other acceptance of the in. dividual as an equal. • HOUSING When we come to consider dis. crimiration in housing we must again• -plead- consistency .in, ser. crating the sheep from the goat. It is inimical to. the negro case to demand that any and every col. oured man be accepted into our bosoms- We have friends Whom we enjoy welcoming to our homes; with whom we like to associate for sport, recreation" or travel.

Our interests and backgrounds are, vastly dip., similar. We realise that for pro. tracted periods we wou►d'not be ' congenial.
