RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY N. A. A. C. P. IN CON FERENCE IN DENVER The N. A. A. P. C. has made public the resolutions adopted at the Six teenth Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado. The resolutions in part were as fol lows: Aims of the Association We have before us today five major aims: 1. The complete abolition of lynching and mob lav;; 2. Political freedom; 3. Industrial democracy; 4. Better education; 5. The absolute end ing of segregation of all sorts based on race and color. Let no one think that lynching is stopped in America as long as one victim every month is publicly mur dered and even burned by mobs. There is no political salvation for the Negro as long as he is owned body and soul by the republican party or by any other party. A free, intel ligent ballot is our one political sal vation and no place, honor, or salary is worth its loss. We stretch again hands of fellow ship and sympathy to all the working people of this land and the world. We would unite with them as equals and as fellows, striving through organ ization to make modern industry dem ocratic rather than autocratic, to end monopoly and privilege in credit and capital and to make social welfare rather than individual wealth the end of all industry. We are deeply alarmed at the lack of common schools for our children and we see widespread effort to deny us high school training and to keep our talented youth out of colleges and professional schools. We believe in humanity; we believe in the social and civic equality of all men; we will fight to the bitter end every effort to separate, segregate and publicly humiliate human beings of any kind, because of race or color. We are fighting residential segrega tion in the last ditch before the Su preme Court of the United States. We are attacking disfranchisement in the South by bringing the white primary before the bar of national justice. The Bullard Slander Resolved, That we note with dis gust and resentment the attempt of General Robert Lee Bullard of Ala bama and the United States Army to defame and discredit the men of the Ninety-second Division (colored) of the American Epeditionary Forces in France. A cloud of witnesses has arisen to overwhelm with denials this assailant of brave men and faithful soldiers; it is not necessary for us to add to a refutation so complete and signal. But we feel impelled to rec ord our solemn protest against Gen eral Bullard’s action as a hostile ges ture, most improper in any army of ficer, from the element in the South that is still unlightened and still cave dwelling, and as a gross, wanton in sult to ten per cent of the people that pay General Bullard his wages and whose servant he is. Haiti The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as sembled in its Sixteenth Annual Con ference, respectfully reminds the Pres ident of the United States and its Secretary of State that the independ ent and sovereign republic of Haiti is still occupied, in defiance of inter national law by American troops. We beg leave to represent that all of the purposes alleged as excuses for this illegal occupation have been achieved. Under the military power of the Unit ed States the constitution of Haiti has been destroyed and a new one substituted. The American capital that sought advantages denied under the old constitution has made its desired investments under the new. American sugar corporations are now prosperously installed in the sub jugated country. We submit that in these condition the time has come for us to fulfill our belated obliga tions to this oppressed country. We therefore request that American troops be withdrawn from Haiti at once and the country restored to such of its people as still survive. Abolitionists In view of the persistent and evi dently concerted effort to discredit the leaders of the great abolition movement that freed this country from the terrible blight and ineffable shame of slavery, it is the sense of this conference that wherever and whenever possible this association should commemorate the birthdays; and public services of those noble and unselfish men and women. AMHERST STUDENTS MAKE FINE RECORDS I Amherst, Mass., July 17.—When the annual convocation at Amherst col lege was held recently three members of our race were among those to graduate with high honors. It marks the first time in the history of the college that the members of our group have made such a splendid showing. Degrees were conferred upon Henry Hastie, 608 Q street N. W., Washing ton, D. C., a star athlete, who was valedictorian of his class. Hastie was also president of the Phi Beta Kappa honor fraternity. William Monteque Cobb, 1326 T street, Washington, D. C., was given "he highest honor of any member of his class when he was awarded a -cholarship to study at Wood’s Hole Marine laboratory. Cobb has the honor of being the second member of our race to win this distinction, the ’irst person being Dr. Just of How ard university. Will Mercer Cook, son of Will Ma •ion Cook and Abbie Mitchell, won the Phi Beta Kappa key. He also won a $1,500 scholarship to study at Sarbonne, France. He is to be mar ried soon to Miss Bernice Wilson of •few York city and will sail with his bride. Charlie Drew, captain of Amherst rack team for 1926, will be graduated next year. All are members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. FOR RENT—Furnished or unfurnish ed rooms for rent to respectable married couple. 2310 Twenty-second street. WEbster 4162.
