DESCRIPTION
Presents arguments and supporting "data" to assert that the claim that "America is a white man's country" is "un-American"; that the Government must make a greater effort to supply housing and financial aid for people who are resettling; that those opposing resettlement are "making a mockery of our war aim to ensure justice and freedom"; and that the church and "other public-spirited citizens" should help to defend the rights of minorities and encourage people who are resettling to "join in their activities and membership." The document refers people to the Pacific Coast Committee on American Principles and Fair Play, with offices in Berkeley and Los Angeles, for more information.
