 Taxes Must Bs Reduced. believe the tax burdens imposed for the war emergency must be re- vised to the needs of peace. and In the interest of equity in distribution of the burden. believe the negro citizens of Amer lea should be guaranteed the enjoy ment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed. that their sacrifices in blood on the battletields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and pp- portunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands.
