THE FACTS m
OUR NEWS

BIDDLE AND NEGRO MGRA-
TION-United States Attorney Gen
eral Francis BiddIe sent report
10 the President Of the United
States, stating among other things
that there should be limit on Ne
groeS migrating TO certain areas
where Negroes could not be ALB
sorbed because Of physical or cui-
tural reasons. This is . tremen-
dous utterance on the part Of our
attorney general. II is \ dangerous
statement. 10 say the least. II is
far more dangerous than anything
that Mr.. william Bowling has said
The idea OF limiting :he move.

an idea has been suggested n The
past by certain b.Eo.ed Sou.herne-s.

II would be more understandable,
however. IL he had included Ne
ScoeS and whites. He would not

His hide would be taken r.ght OF
by every newspaper in the eoan-
Try.
Mr.. Biddie suggests this uncon-
stitutionzI notion to keep down race
tension. Mind you. he says that
Negroes alone should be prohibited
from migrating into certain areas.
Mr.. Biddle is actually saying that
the Negroes should pay the bill for
race harmony" Negroes should
pay by staying In the South and
I'm those communities where they
can continue 10 be exploited as

inference Mr.. BIddle put all the

THE INSIDE STORY

Until the full contents Of Atty.
General Francis Biddle's letter to
President Roosevelt is known. there
VIII be much speculation pro and
con as 10 his reference to hating
migration OF Negroes TO defense
s,ess, especially to Detroit. as the
letter is alleged to have suggested.
However, there is a Detroit and
Washington story behind Biddle's
letter that is known to very few
people.
There probably weren't a hun
o-ed people who knew, before read
i.og this column, that Bishop r. r.
Wright IS closer 10 President Roose-
Welt than any other Negro in the
country. That is because ID Mr..
Roosevelt, like many more white
people. believes that most Negroes
ere easily led by outstanding
church leaders and 90 Bishop
Wright is largely responsible for
DIR. Roosevel.'s Good Neighbor
policy which has me: with sucn
outstanding success. II vas be-
cause OF this friendship between
the President and the Bishop that;
D.Gdle launched an invest. CATION
in De,ro.; OF conditions that ultl-
mstely led 10 racial clashes.
Back in March. Louis Martin,

strikes and other anti-Negro dem
constructions Biddle wrote Martin
that neither membership 10 the ka

were crimes sufficient 70 warraa:

was believed that the matter was
dropped.
However. a few days later. Bishop
Wright was called to Washington.
