The freedom march of Au-
gust % will be the irony of
ironies, a spool Of history and
a monument to bipartisan
hypocrisy. Its purpose is an
honorable one which all men
of good will will applaud with
their hearts and conscience.
1t would remind Congress,
the Chief Executive and our
judiciary, that every Ameri-
can has an inalienable right
to first-class citizenship. One
hundred years after their
emancipation, the Negroes
through the indivisible de-
fault Of Congress, the Chief
Elk ecutive and the judici-
ary-are less than free.
But the real irony and
spool of history is that this
freedom march takes place
In the voteless capital Of de-
mocracy. Outnumbering by
hundreds Of thousands these
petitioners for first-class cit
izenship will be the ghosts
and votelesS presence Of
those, guilty Of no crime OF
misdemeanor but that they
were born and remained in
their Nations Capital. We
have been honorable men
dutiful and responsible cit
liens in battle and In peace
Yet this day is our day OF
humiliation. Many Ne or Q
marchers do possess their
inalienable rights. But we
who dwell in the capital OF
democracy. the official home
Of Congress, the President
and the Supreme Court, pos
sess them not. For us 1t Is the
hour of un-American humil-
iation.

Every American, born and
unborn, will be affected by
the outcome of the August "a
march on Washington. Few
Of US can do anything but
pray. H viewer we can dc
that. None Of us real y
knows, though. just what to
pray what Is right In
Gods great plan.
Will you join In visualizine
a gigantic cross Of COLDER
light. like yellow sunshine
whose base covers the whole
Of the city Of Washington
Pray that this cross of light
be made q channel through
which the love and light Of
God pours in to the city. In
thought, raise your arms tc
receive 1t. Let 1t overflow to
all around you.

II the Negro minority can
be allowed to stage demon
STATIONS all over the coun-
try, with the avowed purpose
Of turning customs and Gull
lures upside down overnight;
II they are allowed to barge In
on established businesses re-
gardless Of their quality and
suitability-the o her mi
norities will feel that they
can do the same thing. And
what a way to run a govern
mentl
The Negroes are better of
In this country than IN any
other part Of the world. bet
ter, in fact, than many white
and most yellow races. There
are plenty Of whites in this
country who are not having
1t so good, but does anyone
speak UP for them2
There are sinister forces
behind all this foolishness
and 1t is time all intelligent
persons should wake UP to its
evil course and consequences
No other race, to my know
ledge, has ever wante d u
barge In" on the W hite
race they have no desire II
do so, and they are toe
proud. Let's give nature and
common sense q chance 10
work things out.
