In fact. there are many of us who assume it is the way we are regarded by the rest of the world. Frankly. I wonder sometimes if this is correct: I wonder if there are not many in the world. in the socalled Old World of Europe. in the newly awakening civilizations of Asia. who think of us in terms of the old Oriertal Exclusion Act. of the McCarran Immigration Act. of Bilbo. and Eastland. the Mississippi philosophers. and of Autherine Lucy and the University of Alabama. And I wonder also. while we think of our civil liberties in terms of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court. whether others do not think of them in the terms of some of our socalled congressional investigating committees. I wonder how so many of our socalled statesmen. who proclaim their abhorrence of communism. can. in their own actions. do more to promote the cause of world communism. than the entire collection of American Communists put together.
