tive soil and also in foreign lands
where thousands of our own brothers
have mingled their blood with that of
other peoples in order that
Government Of the people, by the
people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth.
The District of Columbia. with its
500 900 people, is the only community
in the United States which is denied
representation in the National Gov
ernment and voice in its local
affairs.
Its people must obey the laws
which they have no voice in making
They must pay the taxes levied and
collected without their consent, and
spent without their approval.
They must fight and die in defense
Of republican principles unknown to
them in actual experience, yet without
any voice in the councils which de-
termine war and peace.
"The United States shall guarantee
to every State in this Union republi-
can form Of Government"
Surely this wise provision In the
Constitution is not to be interpreted
as empowering the United States to
strike down and annihilate the funda-
mental principle Of such government
in the Capital of the Republic. 1t was
not so interpreted by those who urged
its adoption.
Aside from this wrong so unjustly
imposed on the people of the District,
We believe that the people Of the
United States do not want, and can
not longer afford to have, an un-
American system Of government at the
political heart of the Nation.
I'VE. the people of the District Of
Columbia. through our duly accredited
representatives in the Federation Of
Citizens Associations at the National
Capital. therefore unite in making
this appeal to the people Of the United
States that they give all the moral
and political support within their
power to this effort by the people of
the District of Columbia to secure by
constitutional amendment, representa-
tion in Congress on an equality with
the States, the right to vote for PreSi-
dent and Vice President, and status
before the United States courts on a
par with that Of the residents of the
several States.
This appeal Is made to you in the
fullest confidence that in your sense
Of simple justice the question of the
civic status Of the people in the Dis
trict of Columbia will become an issue
in your political conventions and at
the polls, where all the people of this
country. save the residents of this
District. have a voice in determining
the policies of the government under

OF about 81 for skilled inside workers.
Indications that no concessions
would be made came both from Off
