The white and colored can go forward on parallel lines together but they cannot go up as a unit. only to an average. To return to the summit. If the high Court considers that the Negro has been deprived of a right what about the Asiatic Exclusion Act placed upon our statutes at the insistence of California. This Is segregation on a continental scale. No tirades are directed at California for this. They too are race and civilization conscious. Up to the beginning of the century the immigrants to this country came from northern Europe with similar backgrounds and standards. From then to the First World War came millions from other sections with different backgrounds and social and political potentials. The Congress did not believe that these people could be well assimilated and an immigration restriction act A3650 was passed. It was a recognition of a danger to our standards of civilization. With the new thought of the High Court. intellectuals (selfadmitted) and the Communists. why not rescind this act and the Asiatic Exclusion Act? Why not consistency? The southerner is greatly puzzled over the Constitution.
