Though the origin of the ban would seem to be the fact that Mr. Labat is a Negro and Mrs. Johansson a white, the larger significance lies elsewhere. What is at stake is a fundamental issue of cultural freedom—the freedom of one individual to correspond with another. The recent history of the world has provided us with too many tragic examples of similar kinds of censorship—families cut off from families, prisoners held for years in a circle of total silence—to allow this symbolic event to go unchallenged. We firmly believe that any section of that area which thinks of itself as “the free world,” and particularly in the United States, where the present racial situation lends a somber overtone to the whole affair, such infringements can and must be looked into and corrected wherever and whenever they arise.
