Yesterday Jerome W.lson was | lynched in a Louisiana jail without1 interference Ifrorri authorities after I the Louisiana supreme court had granted him a new trial. Every lynching which takes place reflects discredit upon the federal government because of its failure to exercise its tremendous influence in behalf of jus tice and humanity. Once again there- ' foie, we strongly urge that you im-! mediately send to congress a special and unequivocal message demanding immedate passage of the Costigan- ’ Wagner Bill.” Protest to Huey Long and Gov.

The Writers’ League against Lynching representing writers, editors and publishers, south ern as well as northern, calls upon you to use your power immediately to punish to full extent of law lynchers of Jerome Wilson at Franklington.” Among the signers of the telegram,s were Sherwood Anderson, Gertrude Atherton, James Branch Cabell, Ers kine Caldwell, Stuart Chase, Theodore Dreiser, W.

SAYS NAZIS JUSTIFY JEW-BAIT ING BY POINTING TO U S. LYNCHINGS New York, Jan. 18.—In a letter to President Roosevelt scoring lynching and urging him to use his influence to end it, a noted American woman liv ing in Geneva, Switzerland, writes: “The ‘Nazi’ justifies his persecution of Jews by reference to the American attitude to Negroes; and the abuses in concentration camps and prisons, which shame mankind, are interrelat ed with excesses in other countries”. The writer is Miss Emily G. Balch, International Secretary of the Wo men’s International League for Peace and Freedom* and a copy of her let ter to the President has been sent to the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. “The discredit abroad”, she says, “brought upon the country by such occurences must be, and doubtless is, present to the American mind, even if only imperfectly realized as to its extent and intensity. But it is not on this ground that we appeal to you, Mr. President, to use your personal influence to ensure that every pos'ible means to put an end to lynching is employed to the utmost . . . We do,1 however, want to point out that, apart even from the question of hu man suffering, every example of law lessness and violence in one country reacts in every other and intensifies existing tendencies to resort to in olerance, cruelty and tyranny.” Damp Wash 3‘c Per Ptund Mini mam bundle 48c Edholm and Sherman launderer and dry cleaners 2401 North 24th St. We 605° _________y TO HONOR ARTHUR B.
