A warning against efforts to spread racial and other discord in this country was sounded by Louis Johnson, former Assistant Secretary of War, in an address today before the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters.
Johnson said: “Today, alas, non-American doctrines that cowered in the darkness of the past and dared not face the bright sun of the future, have raised their ugly heads. They do not ask, is this man a useful citizen: They are not concerned whether he walks humbly with his God or not… They pit native-born against foreign-born. They breed misunderstanding between capital and labor… they sow seeds of hate among sects and creeds.”
