Mrs. Mary Mcleod
bethune ProcIaims
Negro Loyalty To
America

Washington, ID. G. April % -
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
Founder-President of the National
Council Of Negro Women, told
newsmen today that she speaks
for 100000 American Negro Wo-
men when she says that Negroes
have always stood by America
in any emergency and Negroes
will always stand by America
in any emergency"
Mrs. Bethune said that GAS far
as 100000 American Negro women
are concerned, Paul Robson does
not speak for the Negroes in
America" She said that the re-
port of Mr.. Robeson's remarks at
the "So-called Peace Conference
being held in Paris" has Chilled
my blood. ~ just cannot under
stand it." Mrs. Bethune added.
The text of Mrs. Bethune's state
ment is as follows:
Negroes have always stood by
America in any emergency and
Negroes will always stand by
America in any emergency. The
IA million Negroes Of America
will always be loyal to America.
Whatever our difficulties may be
here, we stand as one against
whatever intrusion might come
upon us as nation. We feel that
we are Americans. We have an
ways defended and will always
defend the American ideals. When
there are weak points in those
ideals we will use our brains to
strengthen those weak points.
GAS far as we are concerned,
Paul Robson does not speak for
the Negroes of America. He speaks
for himself and for those who
think as he thinks. He was not
elected by the Negroes of Amer
lea to go to the Paris Conference.
He was not appointed or delegat-
ed by the Negroes of America
to attend the so-called Peace Con-
ference as their representative.
He, therefore, is in no position
to speak for them.
None Of the national Negro or
CARNATIONS in the United States.
in annual convention or in state
ments by natioal leaders, have
ever suggested by deed or i'm
plication or resolution that Ne
groes would ever fail to support
the American flag as a symbol
of American democracy - when
it has been imperiled by any out
side forces or alien ideologies."
The National Council of Negro
Women is composed of "a national
women's organizations working
through sc Metropolitan Councils
and youth groups throughout the
United States.

sixth annual nationwide campaign
here yester day in the Rainbow
Room at Rockefeller Center. Har-
old Stassen emphasized the role
of the 81 accredited private Ne
gro colleges in the Fund in "Edu-
cation and Humanitarian Pro.
gress." The Fund is seeking ST.
100000 or 10 percent of the COM
bined operating budgets Of its
member schools.
John R. Suman, Wee President,
Standard Oil New Jersey), chair
man OF the 1919 campaign, pre-
sided at the meeting. Sponsors
were Winthrop w. Aldrich, Fund
treasurer, and chairman of the
Chase National Bank; Claude A.
Barnett, vice-chtirman of the cur
rent campaign, and director of
the Associated Negro Press; John
w. Hanes, director, u. S. Lines,

ton.
DR.. Tobias, who is a graduate
of Paine College augusta, Ga.),
one of the 81 colleges in the Fund
said: "Private colleges for Ne
groes have done vastly more than
just train students. They have bla-
zed ne wpathways in education,
bridged CULTS of interracial mis-
understandings and prejudice"
Pointing out that every college
in the Fund is rendering the kind
of service in which member schools
such as Fisk, Atlanta, Hampton
and Tuskegee had pioneered, DR..
Tobias declared it was important,
therefore, mot only in the inter
est of the Negro but in the in
terest Of Americas cultural as
well as economic leadership of
the nations of the world, that there
be no lag in the support of these
institutions.'
