- 3 - Some opponents of civil rights will be unscrupulous enough to sabotage measures that will protect the security of the entire Western Hemisphere unless they are given assurances that there will be a moratorium on protection of rights granted by the United States Constitution. The United States leaders who have vision know that we must not, we dare not, and we shall not slew down our country's march toward true equality for all of its citizens,, Of course, there will be persons in high places, shapers of public opinion, and plain hypocrites who will cry for moderation and slow-downs. But wise men know that our country cannot survive on a program that gives full rights to white people and only a moderate amount of rights to colored people,, They also know that there is no rational answer to the question, "Who shall determine what is moderate?" The victims of racial discrimination are acutely aware of the fact that it cannot be ended by vague platitudes and timid experiments. Whenever state and local law enforcement officers are determined to uphold the guarantees of freedom in our country, there is no real threat from mobs and hoodlums. Those who resort to violence for the purpose of driving colored citizens from their homes or keeping their children out cf public schools do so because state and local law enforcement officers tolerate or promote such action.
