Says the Statement SAME FIGHT LAST YEAITJ . , Congress Compromised in 1925 ' . -?? And destroyed All Beaches On Government Property * ? e ' ' " " " v The Washington Branch of the Na- , tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People", through its President, Neal H. Thoxngs, has issued a statement making clear the " issues in the fight against a segrega- ' ted" bathing beach in the National Ca-J pital. "We are not fighting for segrega ?t.iun, but against it," says the atoto j ment.. "There are two questions of _-segregatidrT which we have fought and are fighting, one against segregation of any kind,..and the other- a. gainst, exclusion from the great Amc- _ a, rican driveway and park, a beautiful and spacious government reservation. : When the 4>ill was first proposed-m- Congress we opposed the discrimina~ " tory provision, and when it was passed we apealed to the White House for a veto, but the President signed -it with the 'color' written into the' legislation." ~ "The Fine Arts Commission and - tho Department?of?Buildings and . Grounds, both federal institutions, and 'he white people generally irtlmcliatei;/ began 1 campaign to?locate the white en the government. reservation and to exclude the colored people from it, thus involving a second fight agairfst segregation, a fight for our right on public proper;"<y. "We hnd-i-hi* same fight last, year _ -- -^and <he white people were so insistent that we should_not have the pri vl'opc of "this reservation, and the miluii'il puuple 'fought bo vigourouoly - for it, that Congress compromised with us and destroyed all beaches. We have marie this same proposition to Congressman Madden again fchia 1 year,, and if-he will champion our - cause as he did last year, he can deL!-l* feat -the-nvhole propoaitkmy-saving us >, from the injury of having 'cqIqilL. written into legislation and from se .. gregatiou cf colored people from goveriThtent property." ~Z ' DEACONS OF GEORGIA FORM ORGANIZATION _L Bruswick.
