lease from the New York office
that the American Legion had given
the Urban League written assurance
that no discrimination would be
nraeticed against Negroes in the

"Dear Sir: General Atterbury has
forwarded to me your letter with the

ment campaign to success.
"The first object of our drive is
to put 100000 wage earners back

any class to receive the benefits
from our campaign and | assure you

of all persons and not for any par

Ask Little - Get Little

1t is strange that the colored po-
litical leaders ask for so little from
the bosses whom they support and
whom thew clothe with power Men
get no more of life than they seek
and most of our leaders seek little
more than personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and succor and the means whereby
they will perpetuate themselves in
power There is such a glaring eX-
ample of selfishness and small
mindedness in our political organza-
tions. Since, however, it appears that
the jobs in the way Of patronage viii
not be available for our leaders il
seems that new leadership will come
or organizations will decay and dis
integrate, in fact the process of dis
indignation is now noticeably in eYi
denee.

Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Northwest Enterprise.
My dear Sir:

1 ne 4Nol iuMeSI IlllCI Prise.
My dear Sir:
Relative to your article in the
current issue of The Enterprise on
the subject of the Garfield High
School funfest custer of the eolored
students revue act, please permit me
to record that regardless of what
ever the Funniest advisory council may
ave ruled as sufficient for elimin-
ating the whole act, how could this
be done without an Interior motive
50 to do, when all the facts pertain
'ng to the events are duly and i'm
artially considered from all angles,
IS it were The facts prove that it is
he same old age-worn story of MAX
ng the multitude suffer for. the err
"ors of few, and probable though
hese errors may be.
The disappointment of the colored
student may be realized when, for
months, he has anticipated this very
event with careful attention to his
studies and grades and then at the
last moment he is turned down for
| reasons which are obvious to us all.
Knowing the situation as they do,
he students will not accept anything
but a reinstatement of the act and
thus fair reward for their untir-
ing efforts, to which they are GER
ainly entitled as much as any other
group in this school.
Now. please, witness the Jewish
people in this very funfest event
supporting their students in this very
Garfield High School Out of re.
spect for the Jewish people and their
Students, this very event has beer
postponed from March 25 to April 8
a period of two weeks if YOU please
and the advisory council offers Nc
excuse whatsoever. Quite a lot Of
extra expense and even much trou
BILE is involved to be sure, but to in
tuI the disfavor of the Jewish peopl,
is one thing and to insult the pigm,
complex of large numbers Of Ne
groes is quite another ard so easy Il
get away with, while we sleep.
think it would not be a very bad idei
if we. as Negroes would start waking
up right now and getting something
done for these students who need on
help and assistance at this time
These students can make the grad
and more besides.
Very truly yours.

Law Against kidnapping
Why Not Against
Lynching?

We think that kidnaping has
about reached its peak with the abb
ducton of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.,
twenty months old child of Colonel
and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, from
the Lindbergh country home in New
Jersey. Our reason for this state
ment is that the United States gov
eminent will, no doubt, take a hand
in such a crime. Already public
sentiment and public officials are
demanding a law to make kidnapping
a federal offense. This condition
has been brought about because, ac
cording to newspaper reports. there
have been more than two thousand
persons kidnapped for ransom in the
United States during the last two
years: and it appears that the state
authorities are not able to cope with
the situation by experimenting and
: Furnishing the kidnapers. Thus the
strong arm of the government will
be asked to assist the states in out
having lawlessness.
We are very much interested in
the legislation that will make kid
naping a federal offense. We shall
watch the proceedings, step by step,
very keenly. We shall study the ar
guments made by the pulpit and
press, as well as those made by the
members of the national lawmaking
bodies. We will notice just what part
estate rights" will play in the pro-
ceedings.
This legislation, we hope, will be
FASTENED to action; and, then, we
will argue that it is just as much of
q crime to lynch and burn human
being and unlawfully take life thru
mob violence as it is to kidnap per-
son for ransom. Of course, those
who were lynched were Negroes, for
the most part and those who ere
kidnapped, for the most part, are
white. In both instances, the state
law enforcement officials have re-
ported their inability to cope with
the situation. If a federal law will
be helpful in experimenting and pun
ishing kidnapers, a federal law will
also be helpful in the case of lynch
ings.
While we have nothing in COM
mon with kidnapers, yet it may be
that, in the course of human events,
it will take just such lawlessness as
kidnapping to arouse the conscious
ness of the people of this country to
really thumbs down" on lawlessness
and mob violence of the major kind,
and, incidentally, it may be that fed
eral LEGISLATION to protect the lives
and property of Negroes will be en-
acted.
