We have before US thesis on the
attitude Of the great White World
and we regret space allotted us
won't permit us 10 printe all OF it,
but we will quote highlights from
it The writer of this epistle
says that it was a privilege TO hear
the sermon preached by Rev. J. W.
Wright on Sunday, February H. He
goes on TO say that there is a vi
cious undercurrent now prevailing
TO bring about a complete social, in
dustrisl- and economic humiliation
Of every member OF our group
throughout the U.S,A. To fore
stall any such movement by the
White America, we must use our in
alienable rights TO vote Only
through our organization can we
hope 10 combat this evil. Even our
city oEAnn- Arbor, where the pro-
portion of our representation is al
most negligible we could prove our
selves TO be a very vital part OF the
city, civically, and politically
1t is high time we refrain from
making ourselves believe organiza5f
ton will not do US good It-has
helped many groups who are small
Ter in numbers than we are and who
are also held in disrepute by White
America The writer goes on
to say that the treatment accorded
our race by the Ann Arbor police
is deplorsble, and that the other
groups such as the Greeks.
Poles. and Chinese are not subjected
to such treatment Believes that the
courts sanction such things as
nrnund hv their actinns HIs
