STATEMENT
OF REP. H. FISH
OF NEW YORK

Washington, d. C., Jan. 81.
Representative Hamilton Fish
introduced today three bills aimed
at removing certain discrlmin-
ations affecting Negro citizens.
Mr.. Fish said: with the Presi-
dents recommendations for in
creased ornaments before the Con
gress, we must obtain the greatest
possible amount of national de-
tense with the funds involved.
. zone of the bills I introduced
"Opens up all branches of the reg
ular Army to colored soldiers. l
know from war service overseas
that foreign governments, partic-
ularly Great Britain and France
have always used colored soldiers
in their armed forces. The Seng-
alese, colored French soldiers, SER
we'd throughout the World War
with distinction. In our Army we
do not permit colored men to serve
in the Coast Artillery, the Signal
Corps, the Engineer Corps, the
Chemical Warfare Service, Field
Artillery, the Tank Corps, and
special services such as the Army
An Corps. If we are To provide
the maximum national defense we
must do away with these discrimin-
ations against any element of our
population"
Another bill introduced by Mr..
Fish provides for the appointment
of two Colored Cadets to West
Point annually by the President.
Under this proposal, after four
years there would be eight such
Cadets at the Academy, two being
appointed each year through COM
petitive Civil Service examinations
until a total of eight is reached.
In time of war, or emergency,
these colored officers could be as
signed to command colored troops
Mr.. Fish has also introduced the
identical bill in the House to the
Wagner-Van Nuys-Capper Anti
I~ynching Bill, drafted by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People to cover
some of the objections raised in
the last Congress.
