THE MEANING OF AMERIOANI.
ZATION.

Now comes Rev. Harvey Johnson,
d. D., in q communication to the
Philadelphia, Pa, Christian Banner
taking issue with DR.. Conrad A.
Ekholmi Secretary and Founder Of
the Universal Society of Social I'm
provcmcnt who proposed tho Ameri
canization Of the citizens OF the Unit
ed States. DR.. Johnson takes issue
with the distinguished lecturer, de-
claring that the task is impossible
Of accomplishment. He claims that
tho United States Of America has
never been itself Americanized and
proposes that North America. Mexico
and Canada proceed with the task.
He also makes tho unique DECLARE
ton that we are subjects OF this Gov
renment and not free citizens. Com
Ing out as We recently have done
from under the drastic effect Of tho
draft laws the argument Of the disting
uishcd divine does not seem to be
Illogical or unreasonable. He goes
further and declares that the citizen
In this country is just as much q sub
ject Of the Government as was tho
colonists under the king OF England.
when they first landed in this coun
try. DR.. Johnson can say these things
now as the war is practically over,
but had he given utterance to these
same opinions about three months
ago, the Department Of (in) Justice
would have had his case up for con-
sideration.
But perhaps they all know DR.. Her
Vey johnson. He is loyal all right
but he has never learned how net to
state fundamental truths at q critical
time or to vouch safe fiery opinions,
when certain people in this country
do not desire for the masses of tho
people to see the landmarks of this
country's e-fathers.
The Denver Colorado Star tells of
determinations made against, color
cd people in the telephone booths of
that city. 1t is surprising that In the
: West, where many years ago race
prejudice was practically unknown
that 1T should be in evidence now.
This country is proposing to sive
rights and privileges to oppressed
people abroad that 1t cannot euaran
toe to It's oppressed people at home.

1t seems to lis that Director George
II. Haynes Of the Bureau Of Negro
Economics has walked up at last and
is speaking out In the meeting" IL
we are to judge from report made
to the American Academy Of Political
Science OF Columbia University, New
York City and contained in an adj
dress delivered by him December Z,
1918.
He came out squarely against all
form of racial determinations and
stated the cause OF tho colored man
in words that could not be mistaken.
This was done. too, with tho cordial
approval Of Hon. William B. Wilson,
Secretary OF Labor. He went so far
as to advocate the right of tho col
ored citizen to participate in the
elections and to have a say as to
who should govern him.
1t is evident that conditions have
changed and that the feeling and OK
hibition of servility so manifest in
coiored leaders of this type have dis
appeared never moro to return. Pref.
George II. Haynes has seen something

what he has soon. The time will
yet come when the white South will

people within her borders and when
that time comes, the millennium will

appreciate the full meaning OF all

Joe Brooks death would be
mourncd by the Brown family and
the taking away of any Of the men,
bers of the Brown family would be
regarded as a personal loss to Joe
Brooks. Somewhere and somehow
colored folks and white folks through

interviewer as to make serious and

Two have Just received tho inclosed

sorry to part with him, whom We
heard he had volunteered, we gave

dalton, which he deserved, and which
resulted In his being given employ
ment in the Headquarters Detaoh
ment. SIT Engineers, as q craftsman
and like a good many more Of your
race, he has made good and We
rejoice to learn OF his safety. We
are all proud of Joe, and have been
somewhat solicitous from not having
heard from him, and / am glad now
to learn that he Is safe.
"On our front door, we have kept
up n service flag with three stars,
ono for the son Of the writer, and two
others for Joe and his brother. We
arc thankful that none OF the blue
stars had to be changed to golden
ones Thinking the enclosed letter
from Joe might be Of interest to his
