N. A.,A. C. P. IviAKES SUGGESTIONS
TO RED CROSS
Nevr-York, July 22?At the request
)f 'James L. Fieser, Vice Chairman
of the American Red Cross, the National
Association for the . Advancement
pf Colored People has made recommendations
"regarding the hand-. '
ling ol' NegrO- camps in ho Hood a
ea which include rcmoval.of ull arni- ??
ed guards from the. Negro camplljL.
cept for necessary policing, ending" '-i
Che nomillg Of Nt'giui's ill CcViiFpK~Trrr-T
sion of Neerroes on the same terms v y
is others in'distribution of funds an^l
supplies for rehabilitation. .The Ad
vancement Association's letter which
is signed by Walter White who -made
tiie investigation fpr the N. A. A. C.
P., expresses'disagreemtmt with Mr.
Fieser's statement in his letter to the
in \%liuli ho ^;ilil lie bad
been advised by Red Cross represen
tatives that nothing had taken place
in athorized Red Cross camps since
they took charge to bear: out statements
of ill-treatment. "One of the ,
most notorious of tjbo-.cases referred
to*'' states Mr. White, "was that at
the camps at Vicksburg, Mississippi,
which were under control of the Jied
Cross-when Twaa-therc and in -which- ^
Negroes^-were. being held to awaitJ
pi 4 ndlo rds.lu " ieohtfua the Jea
the nleasure .of theib landlords." - ?./'
The AssociJtion's recommendation^
in full are;~ v r7" ' ' . ?7""?^
1. That all armed guards around
Negro camps be removed wlwie siivh ?
guards^^ell remal.n who.-are. placed
there to prevent-freedom of movement
by?Negro .refugees. \^?edo-not
mean this, of course; to., imply that
certain police duties should not be
perform ed -in?Negro camps precisely
as are necessary in the white and
Mexican eamns: but we rin mean that ~
ho restrictions should be placed upon
Negroes which are not" applicable
under thepvery same terms, and with
the same lack, of,brutality as applied
to-white refugees^- -?? . ' '?~
.2, That orders be given to all
camns under the control directly or
indirectly Of 4be -ReA-C-ross thpt no
Negroes- be?Ji&d -for?Indent Ilk-at ion - "
by landlords and further to see that
these orders are carried out..
3. In the plans of rehabilitation"
we urge "that the Red Cross insofar
as it is -able, see that Negroes are
not charged by unscrupulous landlerda
with supplies fUI'hished' thorn
by-the"^ed t^ross "and "that "Negroes
are given their full and equal share
of funds-for rehabilitation.
