FOR UNITY OF ACTION At
EPocHAL CRISIS IN RACE
HISTORY

To our Colored American Editors:
An thoughtful Colored Americans
felt it fortunate that the closing
world war was declared to be for
world democracy, "for the right of
those who submit to authority to
have a voice in their own govern
msnt." We all felt this war slogan
was our only hope of deriving any
relief from participation. Very un-
fortunately there arose a division
over demanding the fulfllment as an
integral part of the wars settlement,
large portion of the Race favoring'
the movement to send petitioners to
petition for an agreement to grant
democracy to citizens of Color at the
Peace COnclave, others opposing the
attempt as a domestic" question,
and favoring a demand as to the
German African Colonies.
The events of months have made
it possible for uniting of all ele-
msnts, since the League of Nations
draft gives Africa no freedom, and
1t has leaked out that Pres. Wilson
himself, fathered clause against
religious discrimination in a provi-
siOnal draft, thus affording a prece-
dent for clause against racial dis
elimination. There is now a strong
feeling that when history is written

ment and the wartime prohibition act,
the committee Of distillers of the
United States. representing the entire
distf1ling industry, announced
Levy Mayer of Chicago, counsel for
the organization, was instructed to ar
range iar suit to test the emergency
prohibition law after the treaty of
peace has been signed. Action to
bring about a judicial review of the
eighteenth amendment, 1t was stated,
would await the outcome of referen-
dunn elections in 10 states where pc
titions calling for popular vote on
the "bone dry" enactment have been
filed or are in circulation.
Referendum Declared Necessary.
Mr.. Mayer advised the committee
that in states having referendum laws
and whose legislatures have ratified
the amendment, the ratification would
have no affect unless a majority Of
the votes cast in the elections favored
the amendment.
The attorney also gave an opinion
that If the wartime prohibition act Is
unconstitutional, manufacture of dis
titled spirits, forbidden by the Presi-
dent under the food conservation laws
could be lawfully resumed as soon as
the war is ended.
In their discussion Of measures to
nullify the federal amendment the dis
tillers named California, Washington,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, Colordo, Michigan, Ohio, Mis-.
souri,, Maine and Nebraska as states
where referendum petitions have been
circulated. AS IS state legislatures
ratified the amendment, nine more
than the necessary three-fourths, the
distillers' announced plan of action
could not be carried out IL the people
of more than four states approved the
decisions of their legislative bodies.
Tactics Follow Brewers Policy.

time prohibition follows the lines laid
