Committee OBJECTS
TO TUSKEGEE AS SITE
FOR GOVT. HOSPITAL
(Associated Negro Press)

Washington D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
tentative selection of Tuskegee, Ala
bama, as the site for the government
hospital, which is to be erected for
the treatment of disabled Negro vet
Grams of the World War, has caused
severe protests. The National Com
mittee on Negro Veteran Relief. which
has been locaten in the city of Wash
ington by Negro veterans to secure
justice for their comrades in arms in
the administration of Veteran Relief
legislation, has made protests to Di-
rector. c. R. Forbes of the U. s. Vet
erans' Bureau, Colonel Patterson,
Chief of the Medical Division, U. S.
Veterans Bureau. the Treasury De-
partment and to the president of the
United States.
The principal reasons for register
ing this protest as stated by this Ma
tional Committee of Negro Veterans,
whose membership represents prac-
tically every state in the Union with
large Negro population are: First,
that such location of this hospital
which must be prepared to treat all
known disabilities will prevent the
securing of the best medical experts
in the country. The hospital, they
believe, should he located near some
center OF medical science. Secondly,
this location is not central for the
bulk of the probable cases which
would come in large part from those
states which furnished the personnel
Of the combat divisions. Thus medi-
cal expediency and the most effective
service range for the hospital require
a different location. Thirdly, in or
der to obtain a maximum service
range for the hospital 1t is imperative
that the government must consider
the wishes of the men. The commit
tee says they are prepared and have
asked the opportunity to present facts
to show that the men generally would
prefer to dispense with medical treat
ment altogether than to receive it at
an institution loraten in Alabama.

SOCIETY COMMENDS
PRESIDENT HARDING
FOR HIS COURAGE

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
Executive Committee of the National
Race Congress met in this city on
October 9th. The Committee con-
vened at 10 o'clock on the morning
of that day and was in continuous
session for eight hours Many inn
portant matters, affecting the future
activities of the Congress, were adj
justed, among them the installation
of Dr.. M. A. Tally, of Selma, Ala, as
Executive Secretary of the Congress
who will soon take up offices in the
Capital City of the Nation and give
his full time to the work.
The Legislative Committee of which
Rev. DR.. J. Milton Waldron is Chair
man, was instructed to put forth
special efforts in behalf of the Dyer
anti-lynching bill. Although no for
NAL vote was taken on the Ku Klux
Klan activities, a large majority of
the members present expressed them
selves as being in favor of the sup
preston of this organization by the
Federal Government, because it is
inimical to law and order and sub
versive to the rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness guaran-
teed by the constitution of the United
States to all of its citizens.
The recent speech of President
Harding, at Birmingham, Ala, was
thoroughly discussed. After spirited
debate, pro and con, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
BE 1T RESOLVED... That the Ex-
.eoutive Committee of the National
Race, Congress of the United States
Of America do heartily commend the
President for courage and wisdom
shown by him in going I'd the heart
of the South rather than to the
North or West to present his solu-
tion of the so-called race problem and
that we endorse his contention that
white and Colored citizens alike be
given equal political, economic and
educational opportunities. Rev. Drs.
Jernigan, Waldron, Randolph, Holo-
man., Howard, and H. H. Price and
DR.. M. A. Tally, were appointed a
committee to convey these resolu-
tions to the President
The Executive Committee of the
National Race Congress is made up
of representatives (Negroes) from
every State and Territory in the
! Union, representing all phases of
political, industrial and educational
opinion in the race. The headquarters
of the Congress are at Washington, d.
c.; Rev. DR.. w. H. Jernigan of Wash
ington, D. c. is president; DR.. M. A.
Tally, of Selma, Atl, is Executive
Secretary.
! The next annual session of the Con-
gress will be held at Washington, D.

WILLIAM PICKENS
GIVES HIS VIEWS OF
KLAN INVESTIGATION
ASSOCIATED Negro Pressl


New York City, Nov. 11-What do
you think of the action of congress in
dropping the Ku Klux Klan investi-
cation? DR.. VIM. Pickens was asked
recently by a reporter for the AS
sociated Negro Press.
1T will disappoint many" he re-
pied, "even of those who have very
little faith in Congress, that it did
not take more notice of so menacing
an institution as the Klan. But we
did not expect to break up" the Klan,
even if it hal taken more effective
steps. We only hoped that the Con-
gress might do what the New York
World has done; damage the revenue
getting schemes of the Klan in the
north. We knew that no northern
attack on it would break it up in the
South, but would rather make the
bachwoodsmen of Georgia, for ex-
ample, feel: We are being prosecuted
by those Yankees in the interest of
these niggers.' For the South, mind
you, it is only 'niggers' that inspire
the existence Of the Klan, and there
would not he a single Klavern in
Mississippi, ii there were no Colored
people. The catering to the anti-Jew
anti-Japanese. and anti-Catholic SEN
timents in other parts of the country
is but a smol-e screen to the south
ern sentiment to keep the niger
down" And the attack on the in
stitution from the "nigger lovers"
will clinch the loyalty of every provin
cial and ignorant white of the Old
South
1t is worse. too, that Congress had
anything at all to do with and THEN
DROP it SO suddenly. The impress
sion will tie spread abroad in Dixie
that Simmons, the great Wizard, has
gone to Washington and "fixed it."
In some of the small towns of the
South, where the people read only the
local papers, the poor and less edu-
Gated whites are now saying: "Why,
when those felix's in Congress had the
thing explained to them, they said it
was the finest thing they ever heard
Of"
A something for the Negro to think
about: How much do you hope to
get out of a Congress which the COM
bined power of the Jews and Catholics
cannot move TO action. There was no
doubt as to menace to Jews and
Catholics in this Klan propaganda,
and there is no doubling the fact that
the Jews and Catholics and all the
foreign-born were aroused against the
Klan-but the inquiry was dropped"
by Congress.
And those of us who are naive,
thought that all was over but the
shouting whom the World exposed
the Ku Klux. We know the south
ern spirit too well to have ever felt
so confident, but we, too, confess
that we are disappointed in the atti-
tude of Congress. There is no doubt
that the expose greatly damaged the
business end of the Klan in the
North and hurt it with the more in
telligent and liberal whites of the
South. But the provincials who still
preach about "The lost cause of 1861"
and who still declare on celebration
days that "The South has not been
whipped was jes' overpowered''
such people will keep this Klan
alive yet a while.
