Letters To
The Editor

Editor,
Northwest Enterprise
Dear Sir:
wish to express my apprecia-
ton for your editorial and the ar
ticle on Communism by Ted Wood
in your issue of December 8.
Among the many different peo-
pies which make up the population
of these United States, there is
none which has shown more devo-
ton to our country and its institu-
lions and constitution upon which
this Union was founded than the
colored race.
In helping your readers to re-
sist the insiduous boring in" tao
tics of the communist and their fell
low travellers, you are rendering
a distinct service, not only for
your own group of people, but for
all who believe in the constitution
and the American way of life.
Yours truly,
VIM. D. Cameron, MD.
