ASKS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR COLORED SOLDIERS


| The Rev. DR.. J. Milton Waldron,
pastor Of the Shiloah Baptist church
In Washington and organizer for the
National Independent Political league.
recently addressed the following open
letter to President William Fl. Taft;
President William Howard Taft. Executive
Mansion. Washington:
Dear Sir-Permit me on my own behalf
and on behalf Of the National Independ-
ent Political league to thank you for the
stand you take against race prejudice in
the army Of the United States. Of which
you are commander In chief. Both my.
self and the league ! represent stand for
American citizens. and we feel It our duty
to commend any man or set Of men who
stand for the same principle.
We would beg to remind your excellency
Of the race prejudice which now exists
and has existed for more than forty years
against the colored men In the army and
navy Of the United States and to appeal
to you as the commander Of the land and
naval forces Of our country to use your
influence and good Offices in helping to
Danish this hydra headed monster from
tho army and navy Of our beloved coun-
try.
You will agree with me that the United
States has no more loyal, brave, compe-
tent and self sacrificing soldiers than the
colored men who have been and who are
now enlisted In the army OF this country.
and yet few, II any. In the four colored
regiments have ever been put into the
regular army as commissioned officers
and the examination of enlisted men for
promotion to the position Of second lieu
tenant In the regular army which you
have ordered and which appeared In tho
public press June does not contain the
name Of single colored soldier. nor have
We seen the name Of any such soldier In
any list for examination which has been
ordered by you since your incumbency Of
the Office Of chief executive OF the nation.
We cannot believe that you mean to be
party to race prejudice In the United
States army. nor do we believe that In the
four regiments of colored soldiers In the
United States army there are no enlisted
men who are capable OF passing the ex-
animation for second lieutenant. II must
be that your failure to order such men
before the examining board Of the army
for promotion Is an oversight, and we be.
lieve you simply need to have this mat
ter called to your attention and you will
In the future give colored soldiers as well
ton the same opportunity afforded white
soldiers. Yours for equal rights and op-
portunities for all American citizens,
J MILTON WALDRON.

tional Organizer the National Independ-
snt Political League.
