"Law can be a powerful weapon
in the struggle for equality if
Negroes have the political strength
to make it work for them," Prof.
Robert J. Harris of the Law
School said yesterday.
His lecture, entitled "Law and
Politics: Are They Useful Tools in
the Struggle for Racial Equality?"
was the first of a series of lectures
and discussions commemorating
National Negro History Week,
Feb. 10-15.
"Existing anti - discrimination
laws, criticized for being ineffec-
tive, are more often the reflection
of inadequate support for civil
rights than proof that law cannot
achieve Negro goals," he said.
Criminal Legislation
Criminal anti - discrimination
legislation, for instance, is only
effective if the police, the prose-
cutor, the judge and the jury are
willing to let it work. It is used
to regulate huge masses of people,
and when the law is unpopular
to begin with it is "the worst of
all possible kinds of anti-discrim-
ination law," he said.
"Any kind of reasonable battle
plan for achieving racial equality
must take the law into account,"
Prof. Harris continued. However
there are alternatives open to
the federal government in aiding
the Negro which do not require
litigation.
For instance, the government
can refuse contracts with compan-
ies not having active equal em-
ployment opportunity programs,
he said. Or it can use miscellan-
eous powers, such as forbidding
military personnel to enter es-
tablishments which discriminate.
Control of Elections
Another suggestion, to date
only "timidly" under considera-
tion, is to bring the electoral pro-
cess-from registering to polling
to ballot counting-under federal
governmental regulation. Also, to
change current patterns of hous-
ng, the government might enter
this sphere as seller and landlord,
Prof. Harris suggested.
The political route to Negro
rights is not "doomed. There is
not a limited pie of freedom," he
said. An increase of freedom for
the Negro does not mean a de-
crease for the white population.
Voting strength is a major
weapon in this struggle for equal-
ity. Even though the hard fought
civil rights bills of 1957 and 1960
were aimed at increasing voting,
in the deep South "the gain is so
small it is pathetic," Prof. Harris
said.
Small Gain
A survey revealed that in 1956,
before the laws were passed, 5.1
'ChildBuyer'
per cent of the Negroes eligible
to vote in 100 Black Belt counties
registered. Six years later, in 1962,
only 8.3 per cent eligible to vote
had registered.
In Mississippi, 1.4 per cent of
the eligible Negroes registered.
After the bills passed the number
even dropped to 1.1 per cent, he
cited .
In the North and West, however,
the Negro voting strength will in-
crease as the movement towards
cities and away from the South
increases, Prof. Harris said.'
Urban Voting
"The Supreme Court's recent
legislative apportionment decision,
promising greater urban voting
strength in the future, will work;
to the advancement of Negroes
who are already more urbanized
than whites," he stated.
"The two big unknowns" in the
case for equality are whether the
Northern Republicans will com-
pete with the Democrats for the
Negro vote or decide that this
support cannot be had, and
whether the foreign affairs aspect
of civil rights will be capitalized
on or not, he said.
If in American history the big
farmers, the veterans of World
War I and organized labor have
achieved the programs they want-
ed with political power and have
convinced the nation their special
problems deserve special consider-
ation, 10 per cent of our nation
can do "wonderful things" once
they are politically well-situated,
Prof. Harris said.

Formosa Cuts Ties to France
Over Recognition of Red China
(Continued from Page 1)
mand, however, at his last appear-
ance before newsmen a week ago.
Chou merely replied then "that
from the day the representative
of the People's Republic of China
appears in Paris, there can be no
other man there who can pose as
the diplomatic representative of
China."
In Paris there was distinct sur-
prise and considerable relief over
Nationalist China's break of rela-
tions with France.
Late last week, French officials
were giving everyone to under-
stand that Paris was about to sev-
er relations with the Nationalists
of Chiang Kai-shek. This follow-
ed repeated insistence by Red
China that France-which recog-
rized Peking Jan. /27-could not
continue to maintain relations with
Chiang's Formosa regime.
This fragile two-Chinas situation
was believed to be holding up an
exchange of charge d'afafires be-
tween Peking and Paris.
Soie unofficial accounts said
that France had warned Taipei
that the charge d'affaires from
Peking would arrive in Paris soon
and that France was determined
to sever relations with Taipei when
the Peking official came.
Convinced there was nothing
they could do to sway the French,
the Nationalists may have believed
f
it more dignified and face-saving
if they made the break.
In Washington the State De-
partment said that the Chinese
Nationalist break in relations with
France "is understandable" in
view of France's establishment of
diplomatic relations with Com-
munist China.
