Warns Nation May
Expect Civil Wars
If Bilbo Persists

NEW YORK-(S N 81 - The
plan of Senator Theodore Bilbo OF
Mississippi to send all American
Negroes back to Africa has arou-
,ed the ire of a Negro staff sergeant
on duty with an outfit located IN
England. Writing a remarkably
frank letter to the NAACP Ser
geant K stated:
1--WE are Negro Americans ight-
ing for the cause to let each man,
regardless of race or color, nave
freedom. There is no constitutional
law which says that Negroes should
be deported to Africa.
1--WE are citizens of the United
States of America. America is
our home. We have just as much
right to live in America as the
honorable Senator Bilbo, or any
of his followers. However, if he
or any of his followers is tired of
America, would suggest that he
take his belongings and go to his
own Fatherland, which, I don't
believe is the United States OF
America.
1--WE are in the armed forces to
fight for the lights of all men-not
to destroy the rights. We will con-
tinue to fight even if we have tc
-t,oI blood IN, Ar1apripQ
1--WE are doing our utmost in
search of the long sought Tor
freedom We are highly insulted
when such things as these happen.
We want freedom, that's what we
are fighting for and that is what
we will contin.e to light for.
ssThese things will soon lead to
a great catastrophe. These things
will not make a peaceful Unlteo
states but a place of civil wars and
strife. We are tired of wars but
more energy can always be found
to ward off the enemy.
