of their faulty vision are Norman

Being identical twins provides a

claimed by Bishop R. R. Wright,
Jr., etxecutive secretary of the
Fraternal Council of Negro Chur
ches as the "Champion War Moth
er of America."
After four month’s search thru
the courtesy of the leading news
papers of the country, during which
the bishop received nearly a thous
and letters from women who had
two or more sons and daughters
in the arfed strvice, he proclaimed
Mrs. Jones as the Champion War
Mother, and on Sunday, January
23, at the City auditorium at,Mem
^phis, Tenn., in the presence of 10.
000 people, Mrs. Jones was Crown
ed "Qu'een of All American War

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT
The NNPA president, in intro
ducing the members of the dele
gation, thanked Mr. Roosevelt “for
your courtesy in seeing this com
mittee from our association which
is working daily to do everything
that it can to help win the war.
and the peace that follows.'’
The statement of war aims and
post war aspiration, read on be
half of the association by Mr.
Prattis, opened with a declaration
of “unlimited and unsullied alie
giance to the nation” and asserted
that “we have a right and a duty
to share its bessjngs, its sacrifices,
and its sufferings.”
The statement deplored “an>
and all forms of disunity” and of
ferred "to join hands with ail Am
ericans in the crusade for liberty
or a’i p oplcs.”
PARAMOUNT OBJECTIVE
The paramount objective of Ne
gro Americans, the statement de
cared, “is to help win the war and
establish a just and enduring peace
under which all men may achiev,
human dignity and equality of op-t
portunity.”
It asked for a cessation of the
“second class citizenship now im
posed in many ways upon Negro
es in America." This second clas't
citizenship was held in the state
ment. to be a violation of the prin
ciples of the Declaration of Inde
pendence and the Constitution.
Such inferior citizenship status,
the publishers declared, "prevents
full utilization of the material and
moral resources (0f our Country at
war and destroys all possibility of
a just and enduring peace."
WANT FULL CITIZENSHIP
It was emphasized that "the fed
eral government should begin now
to use its authority and powers of
persuasion to end abridgement of
the Negro’s citizenship" and pledg
ed to work ‘‘for the abolition of
employment barriers, for equal ed
ucation, unrestricted suffrage in
national, state and municipal elec
tions, including primaries, for the
enjoyment of all civil rights and
liberties, established in law, for
the principle that government
should not impose, enforce. or sane
tion patterns of racial segregation
and for full protection and equal
ity in the armed forces.,. .and the
respect which the uniform should
command."
The statement urged that ex
tension of the Atlantic Charter
principles "to all colonials and
other exploited peoples, not Only
Europeans and Asiatics, but also
Africans and peoples of African
descent throughout the world,”
and called for “full participation
by the United States in establish
ing and maintaining such interna
tional machinery as may be neces
sary to establish a world order jr.
which economic equality, political
self-determination, and social jus
tice will prevail.”
A brief additional statement was
made verbally by Mr. Lewis after
the prepared statement was read
to Mr. Roosevelt.
