mittee is the enactment ol laws
which will deprive states not
allowiing Negroes to join _ the
national guard from .henefilting
from the fund set aside Tpr this
purpose by the federal ^jVern-
ment.
Since the expenses
tional guard are borne entirely
by the federal governmcnt and j
only five permit Kegroeii to
enlist in the state militia, stren
uous opposition is expected in
this matter. The committee wall
aJso seek to get a full number
of Negro soldiers and officers in
the army as well as proprotion
ate share of sailors and oflic*i'6
in the navy. The association
feels that the securing of a full
juimber of officers will serve a
\wq fold purpose as it will not
only give Negroes ^ur full rights
in this regard but will, at least,
tend to eliminate the present
practice in the army ofC treating
