In our attempt to reach the minds and hearts of the peoples of Asia we in the United States face a number of problems which the Communists have exploited to the great benefit of themselves. This has made it easier for them to assert a powerful influence over many of the underprivileged populations of the world. I believe that statement is well documented by the continuing flow of news dispatches and feature stories which come from the Asiatic area. where the reporters for the great publications. the newspapers. and the press associations continually tell us that Communist propaganda is making a tremendous impact upon the Asiatic countries. and that each and every one of those countries today is literally fighting for survival. Some have already been destroyed in terms of their independence. Others today are upon the precipice of disaster. Now. what are some of the limitations we face in our own country in reference to our relationships with the Asiatic world? First. the fact that our own colored peoples in some sections of America are relegated to secondclass citizenship is so magnified and distorted abroad that the colored peoples of the world mistrust our words of good will. The second is the fact that we of the Western World are associated frequently with the evils of colonial exploitation.
