changes prompt additional cri-
ticism.
The first public intimation
that the Prime Minister was

Washington on the evening Of
Dec. a..

risy Why SO much cruel injustice? Should
we feel that the Negro should always kiss
the boot that kicks him 7 Only in prisons
and penitentiaries does our government
mingle Negroes and whites. There is no
effort on the part of the government to
force any white family, or any Negro
family, to live in any housing project.
And any assertion Of that nature is born
OF pure viciousness.
Mr.. Editor, the time is far past when
sycophants, at the suggestion of those who
would have it thus. will be selected as
leaders of the American Negroes. They
now need men who possess the intestinal
fortitude to point out the termites that
are striving to eat away the very, founda-
ton OF our government; men who advo-
cate the practice of the principles of
Liberty and Democracy as it is now being
preached. Why close our eyes to all of
the inconsistent injustices that exist in
our own country, while condemning like
injustices in other lands I hate cruelty
and injustice no matter whether it is in
flicted on Indian, Negro or Jew. I believe
in the principles expounded in the Declare
ton of Independence. I believe that the
Constitution of the United States should
be the supreme law of our land. believe
zens should defend its defenders. I be-
lieve that this should be one nation with
Liberty and Justice for all. do not feel
that it would be unconstitutional for our
I believe that lynching and discrimination
is Just as bad in the United States of
America as it is in Germany. And believe
that the American Negroes urgently need
men like the editor Of q Minneapolis Negro
newspaper to assume leadership.
Knowing that this communication will
be honored with a respectable consign-
| ment to your waste basket, I am,
Very respectfully,

Ku KluX Khan
InstigatOr of
Detroit Riots

New York, March 1.-THE Hour,
reliable news letter service, added
evidence to the growing opinion
that the Ku Klux Khan, on the up
surge since the war, was the in
stigator of the Detroit, Mich,
riots.
The March z edition of the news
letter said this:
The Hour is reliably informed
that government authorities will
undertake a comprehensive investi-
cation of the Ku Klux Khan activi-
ty in Detroit, Mich, following an
initial probe of the Klan's role in
instigating a riot on February %
at a defense housing project in the
auto city.
The urgent need for such an in
vestigation was pointed out by The
Hour on February z in an article,
"Klan Hampers War Effort in De-
troit," in which we revealed that
the xxx had launched an inten-
sive drive to capture executive po-
sitions in the United Automobile
Workers union and "to interfere
with production in auto plants now
working on war ORDERS" In de-
scribing the devices Klansmen were
using to sabotage productions, we
reported: "They are spreading vir-
ulent anti-Semitic and anti-Negro
propaganda to confuse and disrupt
the workers. They provoke slow
downs and even wildcat sitdown
strikes in the factories. They fight
every union project aimed at sup
porting the U. S. war effort"
The Khan conspiracy achieved
grim results on February % when
scores of people were injured in
the riot at the Sojourner Truth
Settlement, a 20O-unit defense
housing project designated by the
United States Housing Authority
for Negro occupancy. We are in
formed that this riot, which oc-
Cured as Negro defense workers
and their families were trying to
move into the housing project, was
organized at secret Khan gather
ings held on the previous night,
when the hooded Fifth Columnists
received orders to keep the Negro
workers from entering their new
homes. That same evening Klans-
men burned a cross before the
housing project; and on the night
after the riot, which prevented oc-
cupancy of the settlement, they
burned a second cross in triumph.

VIM. H. CASTOR, retired member

prominent st. Paul fraternal leader

To the Editor,

Your interesting editorial, The Negro

lanche OF the most pernicious venom. It
is designed to blow to white heat the
smoldering embers Of prejudice and hate.
You, Mr.. Editor, with the subtlety of an
1ago, have appealed to the spirit of blind,
ignorant and vicious bigotry. It feeds fat
the ancient grudge-smoldering embers of
cruelty and viciousness. It is an appeal,
though SO cunningly made. to that spirit
of rebellion cultivated by the copperhead
politicians of the South. When has this
government made an attempt to mingle
Negro and white families? In that one
particular phrase lies the supreme dema-
gogy that once disrupted this nation.

St. Paul Pioneer Press-D Dispatch
We noted with much concern the
editorial appearing in the St. Paul Pioneer
Press Thursday, March s, in which a
minneapolis Negro editor" was attacked.
We recognize your right as editor of the
| st. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch to use
the columns of that paper to express your
personal opinions on any subject of your
| choice. We were, however, somewhat sur
prised at woeful lack of information re-
garding the Detroit housing situation.
The name of the project is definitely an
indication of the original plan of the
Housing Authority to accommodate Ne
gro occupancy. The fact that Sojourner
Truth was a Negro slave made it quite
improbable that her name would have
been chosen for an interracial housing
project. There was an understanding that
any applicant Of the white race who was
eligible could also be housed in the 80

Your statement regarding the editors

vicious attack on the gentleman's moral
integrity. We believe the attack to be
unfair. unwarranted, and most presumptu-
| Gus.
