This in itself Will attract fvliowers wuo frais to 100k bevond the sur- ; face, if permitted tu continue unchecked. 29219 Recently 1 nave sounaea out elemeits of botin races in tnis section, and I find almost to a man they all are Opposed to Robeson's sentiments. wust now long tnis wial remain as such is problematic. If Robeson is permitted to EO uncuecked, tneu Treedom of speech may become license for a dangerous and subtle connivance shrouded in secrecy. i dw not believe HObeson commands any following in-—----- ~“tiue midWest or West, except in a casual appreciation of his artistry on tne concert stage. Hut, an unbridled con- tinuation of present actions aua utterances will certainly create a halo around tne man tu the same strata of humanity to wnicn previous Japanese propaganda was acceptavle.

Cincinnati and vayton are melting-pots for various cOnfiicting ideas of a sectional nature. In them tne inhi- bitions of one.group and tue pronibitions of another are harnonized successruliy, and tuis has been going on for more than a quarter-century. I sincereiy hupe a solution may be found for this growing situation. re cge gk tg: pean get tea eden Scape geta ea pe tomcenp cpa aeRee RoE YS STi aT noe Pah arin gs
