war Department, Washington, D.
C!OThrough the Office of Mr.. Emmett
j. Scott, Special Assistant to the
Secretary of War, it is announced
that the War Department and the
Speaking Division of the Committee
on Public Information. recognizing
the importance of enlightening Ne.
gro public opinion as to the War
aims of the Government, have de.
cided to appoint Special Commit
tee of Speakers, to be composed of
leading Colored Americans who shall.
as opportunity offers, seek to create
and mobolize public opinion which
shall back up the Government in
the prosecution of the war.
AS has been stated the issue of
this struggle depends to large -ex-
tent on the way public opinion in
the United States is stimulated and
directed 1t is indeed only through
the united efforts OF enlightened and
enthusiastic Americans that the full
strength OF the Nation can be ex-
erted, that victory can come to our
righteous cause, and that America
can accomplish those things for
which she entered this conflict. Upon
the leaders of our public opinion,
therefore, rests a responsibility
heavier than perhaps ever rested
upon any group of people in or en-
tire history. 1t is a task which can
be performed only by men and wom-
en- who themselves are well informed
and who cooperate with all patriotic
organizations, governmental and pri-
vate, which are unifying public opin-
ion in support of the national pur-
pose.
The following gentlemen who are
representative of Negro thought and
opinion have been requested by the
war Department and the Commit
tee on Public Information to render
