To the Editor of Chicago Whip
Please permit me to express my APP
probation of your recent editorial on
our good friend, Major Motion.
1t is quite true that many of our
prominent men suffer adverse criticism
which is not always true, still, there
is an old saying, "Where there is
smoke there must be some fire"
If reports of Major Motion are one
half true, the majors position with
opportunity to influence so many Of
our younger men renders him dam
gerous. If the majors viewpoint is
reflected in the slightest degree among
his students our fight for democracy
and justice will be just that much
harder, for it is to the younger men
We must look for progress.
If the younger generation does not
'leave a greater heritage for those to
come after, comparatively speaking,
than our fathers left for US, then the
race will begin to retrograde. With
such pseudo-leaders as our friend
Major Motion seems to be it can be
easily seen how vital it is that the
camounage be torn aside and the en-
tire race shown just what he is.
Major Motion is not the only one.
There are others upon whom the
X-ray should be turned.
May success attend all your efforts
toward SCATTERING the old cringing,
submissive type of Negro, building
instead the self-reliant man, who is so
greatly needed today in this racial
crisis.
Again, my wishes for your success.
Iced, st. Paul, MINI.
