FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1949 THESE DAYS A-BYs. GEORGE SOKOLSKY “SOUTH PACIFIC” \ ey It is, I suppose, hard to realize | that “South Pacific,” for all its! lovely song, is a serious dramatic| play dealing with one of the most vexed problems facing the human race in these days. In the United| States, this matter is called “mis- | cegenation,” by which is meant marriage outside one's kind. In many states of this country | marriages are illegal if the parties | to it are not of the same color | This applies not only to Negroes, but to other peoples. It is impossible to say; “of the same race,” because so0 little is known of the races of man, although in Hitler's time, the | racial theories of Houston Stewart Chamberlain and others like him were emphasized for political puar- poses. Yet, no one could regard the Germans as a ‘pure race,” for they have been invaded so often by so many varieties of man. Similarly, it would be difficult to ignoge the role of the Moors in southern Europe and the mixed relationships among the Romans, the Goths, the Vandals Hannibal's armies. . .need one go on? Of course, moral law can recog- nize no such rule of life. All menj and women are God's children. In the ecarlier history of European civilization, national or racial dif- ferences were rarely recognized. The Greek and Roman conquerors took their women where they found SSE = > them and although concubinage may not always have produced le- gitimate offspring, the descendants of such unions influenced the gen- eral character of the European population. Similarly, all through Asia and in northern Africa, the mixtures of man have been con- tinucus. Asiatic women have generally held a fascination for western men. They are so mild and generous and when they are beautiful,’ they are without compare. And one needs only to be married into a Chinese family, to dicover that women as wives are universally patterned and that beneath the pigmentation of the skin of a woman, a wife, a mother. I watched the story unfold in “South Pacific” and could only throw my own mind back to my lovely t wife, now deceased, and to the days when we discussed the racial line of demarcation &s a practical problem that we had to solve, just as it faces those in ‘South Pacific.” We did solve it firmly and practically and to our satisfaction as long as life en- dured. And at no time, so far as I ever knew, were there any regrets or uncertainties. We were a husband and wife facing life together and cur problems were never personal. Certainly, there must be “misce- genation” of a horrible kind in a country that produces so much di- vorce, and often so early in each marriage. What happiness can there be in a marriage of the same kind of people that smashes upon the rocks of incompatibility—which can cnly mean selfishness and ego- centricity—so soon after marriage that the normal adjustments of hu- man being to human being, of per- scnality to personality, could not yet have taken place. And how difficult is it for one who has been happily married to understand this movement of a good woman from husband to husband, from one man to another, time after time. This is nothing to push aside as a hateful subject not to be dis- cussed, and “South Pacific” does discuss it. Of course, the authors are delicate and the music lards the beef, but there it is to be seen and felt by those who follow the tale instead of the tune.

Maybe he offers a choice; maybe he is being real- istic. For the problem is met vari- ously, but rarely with such happi- ness as was my lot. ATTENTION MASONS Called Communication of Mt.
