Kathryn M. Johnson
Addresses Col. COP

Miss Kathryn M. Johnson of
Chicago, educator, one time ma
tional organizer of N. A. A. c. P.
race leader, prominent for a gen.
Grafton in social welfare work and
politics, was Spokane visitor last
week. She addressed a well at
tended rally of colored Republic
ans last Friday night at Calvary
Baptist church.
She was acclaimed as the ablest
speaker heard in Spokane during
the campaign. Up to the minute
issues interspersed with historical
facts pertaining to the French
Revolution, flashes of wit and hui
NOR and a thorough knowledge
of questions affecting present day
conditions, enlivened a speech of
over an hours duration. At the
conclusion a standing vote Of
thanks was rendered.
Miss Johnson, an authoress, was
one of several women who was
sent overseas by Uncle Sam dur
ing the World War. This inter
esting woman, cultured, dignified
and refined, was a Republican can
didate in the 1st Congressional
district of Illinois in the April pri-
maries, but was defeated by State
Senator King, who opposed Rep
resentative Mitchell in Tuesdays
election.
Miss johnson typifies in her per-
sonality the charm and grace of
womanhood, the element that char
acterizes the advancement of a
race, rs years removed from bon
dage. Yet, she is the precursor
of another generation fast coming
upon the scene and speaks well
for the race. There is hope for
such a race that can produce such
as she.
Miss Johnson's mission in the
Pacific Northwest was to bury her
kinsmen, the Johnson brothers,
victims of a shocking double ira
gedy. While in Spokane she was
domiciled at the residence of Mr..
E. H. Holmes. She returned to
Chicago Monday, promising to re-
turn to the Pacific Northwest at
no distant date She will extend
her visit to Seattle and other coast
points at that time.

HERE'S MORE ABOUT
Early

Continued from page one)
The complete text of Early's
letter follows:
"Since writing to you on October
eighteenth, I have learned that
certain newspapers have interpret
ed the White House statement of
October 8 in a way that has caus-
ed embarrassment to you and your
associates, Messrs. Randolph and
Hill.
my purpose in writing you at
this time is to tell you as empha-
tically and as honestly as 1t is pos
sible for any man to speak to an
other, that there was no disposition
or intention on my part, when I
made the statement to the press
to cause you or your colleagues
any embarrassment whatsoever. If
the worls I used have been inter-
preted by any newspaper writer in
way that embarrassed you or
your associates, I am deeply re-
gretful.
"As I told you in my letter of
October eighteenth, the stenogra-
piers report of my oral statement
to the press reads as follows:
"'Yau will remember that on
September 9th the President held
conference in his office with Wal
ter White and 1 think two other
Negro leaders. Present at that
conference were also the Secretary
of Navy and also assistant secre-
tary of War. The subject discussed
at the conference and responsible
for the conference was Negro par
ticipation in national Defense
GAS a result of that confer
ence the War Department has
drafted statement of policy with
regard to Negroes in national de-
Tense. The statement of policy
was submitted by Judge Patterson
to the President, and today was ap-
proved by the President. The Pre-
sident's approval causes it to be-
come or to be made Immediately
effective by the War Department.
Here are the statements of policy
1.-THE meaning 1 intended to
convey to the press-the meaning
that most of the newspapermen
present understood and used ac-
cordingly-was that, in all proba-
bility, there would have been no
statement of policy with regard
to the Negroes in national defense
had it not been for the conference
you and your associates had with
the President, the Secretary of
the Navy, and the Assistant Sc
cretary of War.
