TELLING ITHE EDITOR Musts ensue asre ess as ' lil Ihss Sea rs, ! as M'KIAL INftl'E PORTLAND, Ore. iTo The Edltori Aa citizen of these Uni ted 8'ates, and aa a taxpayer In your city, may I express my deep contempt for and disapproval of the action taken by the city council in regard to the burial of "non-Cau-casian'a" In Memorial Park ceme tery? There can ba no doubt that the action will be of great comfort to Uie communistic elements both here and abroad, for It provides con crete eiample of one point which they have been working most In dustriously to prove, le, that there Is no real freedom and equality In the United Btatea. They can now add tha words "not even In death" to their statement. They have been working hard to prove that the Founding Fathers were Just mak ing funny nolua that didn't mean thing, when, one hundred and seventy years ago, they wrote, the following words: "We hold thru truths to be self-evident: that ALL MEN are created equal: Unit they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, lib erty and the pursuit of happi ness. , . . ." It la somewhat Ironic that Ne gro who waa accorded equality with white men when It waa question of defending and dying for "hu country" should, in death, be deemed unworthy to sleep the uut long sleep beside his comrades In arms. To aay that there "U no dis crimination shown, because Ne 1 I roes will have equal burial right ! In their allocated section of the in- lerment grounds" la a fallacy which no Intelligent person could accept, j I greatly doubt that the white ser vice men who sleep so peacefully In that cemetery would feel hon i ored could they know of thU de ! clsion. Alter all. they died because hiu we uiun svarcw wiui rol ler's similar Ideas, you know. We have had and still have with us the processes and result of ra cial and religious persecution in foreign lands. We have sent our men across the aeaa to fight and die for the principles laid down In the CoruUtuUon of the United Stales. Today, Uie ugly head of that same persecution la rising in our country, poising to strike.

Let those who have protested the buri al of a Negro beside their dead take comfort In Uia knowledge that they are playing their part In the grim farce I Their grief tor Uie dead cannot be deep, els their hearts would ache In sympathy for the Negroes who mourn with a sorrow Just as deep as It would ba were their skin white. I have read that one of the three wise men who brought gifts to the Infant Jesus waa a Negro. But I have not read that he waa turned away because of the color of hU skin. Nor have I ever had the Im pression that Jexua ChrUt died up on the Cross for the exclusive bene fit ol Uie white men. It U not Uie Negro who has been dishonoured by thla act.
