In advance, so most of the delegates

Dubois Denies Peace Center
Is Tool Of Foreign Power

; NEW When reached by
transatlantic telephone in Paris
Thursday. and informed of the Jus
tice Departments demand that the
Peace Information Center, register
under the provisions of the Foreign
Agents Act, Dr. w. E. B. Dubois
noted Negro anthropologist and his
torian, who is chairman of the Peace
Information Center, issued the fol-
lowing statement on behalf of the
Peace Information Center:
AS chairman Of the Peace Infor-
nation Center since tbs inception
in April of this year, I can state
categorically that there is no basis
IN fancy or in fact, for the charge
that the Peace Information Center
is a representative in any. way of
foreign principal
The Peace Information Center.
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1950-09-09

Dubois went on to say, is an en-
tirely American organization whose
sole objective is to secure peace to
prevent a third World War The
fantastic absurdity of the Justice
Departments request is demonstrate
ed in the failure of the Department
even to indicate on whose behalf
we are supposed to be acting.
Since there is clearly no justi-
fication in fact for this demand by
the Department of Justice, l must
assume that the Departments ac-
ton, which comes suddenly after
several months of normal activity
by our organization, is a further
move by the Administration to
brighten into silence the voices of
peace in America.
The desire for peace cannot be
made an alien sentiment when the
fathers and mothers of Americas
children read daily of impending
atomic devastation in their own
cities. Branding those who work
for peace as foreign agents will not
stem the tide for peace in America.
1t will not erase the two million
signatures already secured for the
World Peace Appeal am sure that
these two million signers and count
less millions of Americans who hate
war will defend the right to speak
and work for peace
