the best minds of the Negro peo-
pie to face these issues and pre-
sent their conclusions and findings.
This should not be delegate con-
ference, but just a conference of
persons who can think theoreti-
cally and practically about the
aforementioned questions, upon a
basis of knowledge, experience and
devotion to the well being of Afro
Americans.
Negroes today need guidance.
They need intelligent direction.
Their leadership needs a broad,
universal knowledge and unques-
toned honesty and courage.
They need more light and less
heat, more of the luminary and less
of the thermal rays. Albeit, the
problems we must grapple with
are not simple.
The main and basic troubles of
the Negro today arise on account
of the lack of understanding as to
what is to be done, what to sup
port and what to oppose. The lead
ership lacks a solid grounding in
the theoretical foundations of the
movements that are shaping hui
man action and determining hu-
man institutions. The times de-
mand more explanation than ex-
hortation, more discussion than
emotional explosion.
The writer would be glad to
have this question further dis
cusSed.

Pillars OF Americanism

The principles underlying Am
ericanism are as unchanging as
those upon which Christianity is
based as good today as when
first declared. AS we understand
the term, these are some of the
fundamental pillars of American
ism, and in these parlous times
every American should have en-
craven in his heart the axioms
that give reality to the immortal
word-Freedom:
l. The conviction that the Lib
erty of the Individual is basic to
any worthwhile social order.
2. That progress in our Country
has come through individual ini-
tiative based on the right of each
person to acquire and hold prop
erty free from interference.
8. That the rights of the individ-
ual must not be invaded by the
government or by any division or
by any agent of the government.
4. That the Constitution of the
United States is the soundest in
strument yet devised to preserve
and fortify the rights of the indiv-
idual citizen.
5. That the first duty of the
Government is to preserve Law
and Order.
6. That its second duty is to
keep the doors of opportunity open
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1940-08-02

for every citizen-to protect him
from any forces which may at
tempt to limit or deprive him of
his rights and opportunities.
z. That it is the further duty
of the Government to preserve a
free economy and the orderly
working out of natural economic
laws as best designed to promote
human progress to resist any at
tempts of politicians, Labor, Cap
ital, or any other group, to bind
these natural forces to a selfish
group advantage.
s. To be ever alert to detect,
and prompt to combat forces, no
matter how attractively CARRIED,
which would destroy the Liberty
of the people and make them SER
vile creatures of a super state.
9. That the measure of personal
worth in our Country is character,
and that those who set up class
es" and inflame those classes
against each other are enemies of
the peace and progress of the
Commonwealth.
10. To obey the laws of the
Country, to support our Institu-
lions and to Honor our Flag. In
times of war with our lives if
need be-in times of peace with
the honest discharge of the duties
of citizenship, particularly at the
Ballot Boxes.

do with us, the answer is ready,
full and complete Under his
wise and beneficent rule we saw
ourselves gradually lifted from the
depths of slavery to the heights
of liberty and manhood i. E. Under
his rule we saw our brave sons

n. A. A. c. P. Requests
Dies Investigate
Bund-Clan Merger

New York-Congressman Mar
tin L. Dies, Chairman of the House
Committee on Un-American Acti-
vities, was again urged by the N.
A. A. c. P. to investigate the ac-
tivities of the Ku Klux Khan. The
request was based upon the pro-
posed joint meeting of the Ku
Klux Khan. and the German-Ame-
rican Bund at Andover, New Jer-
sey, on August Is.
The NAACP letter quoted the
statement of Dr. Edward D.
Young, grand Kailiff of the Khan
in New Jersey that the Khan
hopes to enroll many new men,
bers. Bundsmen who can qualify
will be welcome"
In view of the statements of
Congressman Dies that he was in
vestigating the German-American
Bund, the N. A. A. G. P. charged
that the proposed merger of the
Khan and Bund in New Jersey
demonstrated the similarity of the
programs of the two groups. For
this reason Congressman Dies was
requested to investigate the Ku
Klux Klan unless he considered
their activities American rather
than "Un-American."
Congressman Dies has been re-
quested several times by the
NAACP to investigate the acti-
vities of the Khan in South Caro-
lima, Florida, and other Southern
states. Despite repeated efforts
Congressman Dies and his COM
mittee have refused to investigate
the activities of the Klan.
