Baker Post Issues
SfufemenF On 40
& 8 Dropping

The decision Of the American
Legion. commander supported by
the organizations executive board
to drop the affiliation Of the 40
& 8 with the Legion because of
its whites only" policy was hailed
by a Minneapolis Legion Johnnie
Baker Post No. 291.
The post statement however ex-
pressed the hope that the issue
would be settled finally peacably.
The statement Of the Mime
apolis Post said:
ION Saturday, Dec. 5th 1869 our
1859 American Legion FAN Con-
ference was held at Hotel st. Paul
in st. Paul, our National Commit
teeman Daniel F. Foley from wab-
asha, made an announcement which
is of presidential significance to
our country and to The American
Legion.
"Our National Commander Mar
tin B. McNeally by executive auth
ority on Dec. 4th 1859 withdrew
the privilege of the 40 and 8 organ
ization to use either the names
American Legion, or Legion or the
emblem Of the American Legion.
The announcement was first
made in an interview Friday even
ing by the Department Command
er Of Minnesota Carl l. LUndgren.
Mr.. Foley in his address essent-
tally pointed out that we Of the
American Legion are avowed prop
onents both the principals Of DEM
ocracy as reflected in the Constitu-
ton Of the United States of Amer
lea and compliance with law and
order.
I'VE cannot therefore tolerate
within our organization blatant
undermining Of these fundamental
principles in what has been labeled
the white Clause" In the con-
stttutiOn Of the Society Of 40
and 8.
The outstanding work Of the
40 and 8 as leaders in promulgat-
ing and supporting the American
Legion program IL an unquestion-
able asset which II lost would be
an impeachment to our growth. We
are therefore hopeful that a peace
fun settlement Of this issue can
stiIl be obtained.
We Of the Johnnie Baker Post
No. 2e1 American Legion are
grateful without vindicativeness
for this reaffirmation Of the basic
dignity Of man as decreed by our
creator. This has been q long In
ternal struggle for its realization.

The Minnesota Branch of the
American Association for the
United Nations board Of directors
at its recent meeting hailed HUI
man Rights Day December 10, as
an important date.
The resolution unanimously
passed read:
I'VE invite public attention to
the annual celebration Of human
rights day. The Civil Liberties Of
Americans have long been secured
by familiar constitutional guar
antics. Although there are seq
ments Of our society which stin
have reason to complain Of the
gaps in the enforcement Of these
rights.
I'VE have further work to do
in eliminating such injustices. Even
more significant is the role which
the protection Of human rights
must play in other countries IL we
are to have an international SOC
iety in which nations can live in
peace.
We are convinced that nations
which respect the rights Of their
own citizens are not likely to be
irresponsible in their relations
with other nationa
This gives importance to the
effort Of the United Nations to
state a common standard Of hui
man liberty for the world
TT has done 80 In the universal
declaration Of human rights Which
has become the basis for wide
spread educational effort and has
influenced the framing Of many
recent constitutions. It Is now
completing work upon covenants
Of human rights which may pro-
vide a framework Of treaty OBJ
legations which win bolster ma
tional enforcement of human
rights.
These efforts are already Of
great value and may grow steadi-
ly in significance II they receive
the support Of men Of good win
In this and In other countries.
There Is no more direct and real
istic way in which we can advance
the principles and purposes for
which the United Nations was

the race ban in the honor society

there have been strong attempts
to pass resolutions calling on the
