It is noted that the writer discusses the matter of segregaticn and states that experience has taught this to be necessary. He adds that while not advocating legal segregation, “we® cannot revolt against the law . of nature and against the decalogs of time. Referring to the matter of sex, he continues saying that he is convinced "hundreds of white girls have been raped in Detroit by negroes" and *that hundreds of negro girls have been raped anc seduced by white men." In this he refers to the statenent of a negro preacher in Tetroit, Horace A,)Bhite, that the blame for the riots was more attributable to young hoodluma of both races than to any other factor. Relative to this, the writer then blames moving pictures and Hollywood, as well as modern story magazines, for the degeneration both from a criminal and sex point of view of the younger people. Qn page 4, the writer of the attached merorandum goes into the matter of the unist Party, and particularly the advocacy by it of social intercourse ween hegroes @ and whites. This was but one of the many rami- fications of Party activity dealt witb by the Detroit Office in ite report oa the Detroit riots and the background thereof, The writer then, on the bottam of page 5 and continuing on page 6, refers to anti-Semitism on the part cf negroes. In this connection, the Detroit Cffice did not go into this matter, although it did refer to the fact that many of the stores and business establishments in the negro area eround Hastings Street were owed by Jewish people. n all, it appeare that the writer of this memorandum was possession of a few facts which he used in the memorandum, while the remaindar of it was undoubtedly based upon the writer's experience in the Detr and his opinions formed thereon.
