CHICAGO, ILL.--(SNS)-- A strong work to correct discriminations against the Negro resolution was adopted by the Republican National Committee in their meeting here at which the long-standing Republican isolationist policy was changed.
A portion of the eighth of the resolutions adopted is: "We realize that the correction of certain injustices can be made under the pressure of war which years of peaceful effort have failed to bring about such as, for instance, the discrimination against the Negro citizens in industry, in labor and in the armed services of the Nation."
"Such things we do not consider in the realm of social experiment. They are wrongs under the constitution and we shall work to correct them."
(It was silent on the question of suffrage, a barrier a majority of Negroes have not yet overcome.)
