NACCPs Secretary
Denounces Naziiis
Says All Must Unite to Protect
Minority Rights Here and To
Save Democracy; Believes In
Equality for ALL Men

Washington, Nov. 49, De-
nouncing the persecution of the
Jews in the German Reich as an
example of what happens when
a government tears democracy
up by the roots" Walter White,
in a statement Issued today, urg-
ed the union of all American
citizens: white and black, Jew
and gentle, protestant and
Catholic" in order to strengthen
democracy here.
Deploring anti semitism in
this country, the executive
secretary of the NAACP warned
colored Americans rot to be
blinded" by this propaganda.
The text of the statement is
given Immediately below:
Intelligent American Negro
citizens can offer nothing short
of whole hearted contempt for,
condemnation o, the unspeakable
terror now being inflicted upon
the JEWS hpeople by the sadist
lie Nazi government.
The German government to-
day is showing the world what
happens when a. power crazed.
maniac tramples a djefenseless
minority rae. Here is an example
of what happens when govern
ment tears up democracy by the
roots and substitutes a rule of
power based on the stupid and
false theory of racial superior
ity. ......
Our organization, long in the
fight to make democracy work
for Negro citizens in this land
believes that colored Americans
must not be blinded by anti
semitism in the United States.
Only stupidity would allow us
to aid the reactionary forces in
America which would destroy
democracy here, by encouraging
anti-semitism here. There are
some members of our race who
profess to see III the discrimina-
ton practiced by some members
of the Jewish race against us a
just cause for retaliation against
Jews as a whole.
To this sentiment our answer
is that even if every member of
the Jewish race were disposed to
discriminate against us, retalia-
tion would simply open the
door for the Nazi propagandists
to spray ther poison on us both
and destroy democracy in the
bargain.
Our place is with every demo-
ratio force in American life to-
day that is fighting to preserve
and extend democracy for all
citizens of our country. Intelli-
gent America sees, as never be-
fore that unlss all of our citizens
white and black, Jew and Gentle
Protestant and Catholic, work
together to strengthen demo
cracy here, the horror that is
Nazi Germany today will obtain
a foothold in the United tSates.
