ASKSY v. c. A. STAND
ON RACE BAR BEFORE
APPEAL FOR MONEY

The National Association for the
Advancement of Coiored People. So
Fifth Avenue, New York, has written
to the Y. w. G.. A., asking for a
definite decision on the policy of
racial discrimination, manifested in
New York when Miss Caroline, a
young colored woman was excluded
from the local Y. w. G. A. School
of Hygiene on account of her color.
The decision is asked for in view Of
the approaching budget week cam
paign, of the Y. W. G. A., in the
course of which colored people thru
out the country will be asked to con-
tribute to the maintenance of the Y.
w. G. A work.
The N. A. A. c.. P. letter writ
ten to Miss Bertha nj. Body, Gen
eraI Secretary of the Y. w. c. A,
in response to communication
which stated that the Y w. G. A.
was having conferences with the
Colored Women's Branch. The N.
A. A. G. P. letter says in part:
MAY I say quite frankly that it
is difficult for us to understand why
conferences with the Colored Wo-
mems Branch should be necessary.
To us, the issue is simply one Of
deciding whether or not qualified
colored girls like Miss Gardine shall
or shall not be admitted to- the Cen
trail School of Hygiene and Physical
Education and to other activities of
the Y. w. c.. A. or, to make it more
simple, whether or not the Y. W. G.
A. is going to practice discrimina-
ton based not on merit or worth
but on color. 1t does not seem to
US that this is a matter which would
require consultation with the Colored
Women's Branch or any other branch
but that it is simply a matter for
direct decision by the heads Of the
Young Womens Christian Associa.
ton.
1T is my understanding that the
Y. w. G. A. is commencing on Sun
day, November 9, its annual budge5
| week campaign. That we may ad-
wise those people who are deeply con-
erned with regard to contributing
| This campaign because of the in
F'ident at issue, am requesting that
some definite decision be reached in
his matter prior to the opening of
he campaign.
"My first letter regarding this
situation was written August 26th-
more than two months ago-and we
believe thai it is within reason to
expect that a decision on so vital a
question as this should have been
reached without so much delay and
evasion AS I have stated previous
ly, this Association is willing to wait
Z reasonable length of time for a
settlement of this matter on basiS
of complete justice and fairness be-
fore taking any other step. Inasmuch
as more than two months passed
and apparently decision is no near
ler4 shan when the HnsAer5 was first
preached III August, We will be con-
strained to take other steps in the
event shat a completely satisfactory
settlement is not made within very
reasonable time"
The N. A. A. G. P. letter, to the
|Y w. G. A is signed by Walter
White, Assistant Secretary.
