Resolutions of Protest

Mayor Hylan on Saturday received a
petition signed by more than $50 rep
rcsentative citizens protesting against
the continuance of William Randolph
Hearst as chairman of the sub commit
tee on military affairs of the Mayors
committee Of welcome to returning
troops. The protest was delivered at
the City Hall by messenger.
The signatures had been obtained
under the direction of committee
that included Nelson Spencer, prcs;~
dent of the City Club, Joseph M. Price,
chairman of the board of the same
organization; Alfred Marling, presi-
dent Of the Chamber of Commerce and
a member OF the City Club and Miss
Maudc E. Wctmore, OF the National
Lcaguo for Womens Service. The
majority Of those who signed were
members of the City Club, but it was
stated there that the protest was not
authorized by the club and that all
VINO signed did so as individuals.
Is Termed An Insult
The protest reads as follows:
10 the Mayor Of the City of New
York:
We respectfully desire to record
our very emphatic protest against
the continuance of William r.
Hearst as chairman Of the sub-com-
mlttee on military affairs of the
committee, which is to take part in
Welcoming the homecoming troops
OF the State of New York.
MI. Hearst is not representa-
i've citizen; his loyalty has been
very seriously questioned; our re-
turning soldiers are entitled to be
welcomed by those who have sun
ported them ntheir work and suffer
ing; and it has already been shown
mat 1t is not possible to give them
such welcome so long as Mr.. Hearst
is to have anthying to do with it.
we consider it an insult TO our SOL
diers that man who uses the Ameri-
can flag to sell his papers should CON
tlnue to act as Il member of this com
mittee.
We sincerely hope that YOU will,
see your way clear to suggest to Mr..
hearst that he retire from his reIa-
llon to these activities.
