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

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. Nay, UiU

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

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. The du
honour Ilea elsewhere.
