Against Fifth

President Roosevelt

Washington, D. c.
The strike against Negro war
workers at the Hudson Naval Ord
nance plant follows a pattern which
is inspired by fifth columnists and
Nazi-minded rabble rousers who
are making Detroit the capital Of
American fascism. Agents Of the
federal government should ferret
out the leaders Of this Hitherto
movement who are responsible fof
repeated racial disturbances on our
war production front,
These Axis stooges are sabotagins
the war effort, committing treason
against the state, creating national
disunity and crucifying the Negro
people. On behalf Of the United
Nations and the ideals for which
our boys, black and white are dying
together around the world, we urge
immediate action.
