The cold war, in its phase of mounting intensity, has gone on long enough, in truth, too long. It cannot be stopped all at once. But, except for baldly partisan purposes, the steam has gone out of it, at least as between the United States and the Soviet Union. Hopes for a renewal, with Red China and the United States as the antagonists, may spring in the breasts of the U.S. war hawks. The cold-war genie was indeed released by U.S. President at American University, Washington D.C., on June 10, 1963, but the Negro Revolution gene, and that's what it is, got out by himself on June 11. Politician Arthur Krock has criticized the President for evading problems until they reach the crisis stage. In the case of race relations, the criticism is just. Trying to hold Southern support for his legislative program, the President waited too long.
