How effective is your Citizenship?

The following is a copy of a letter I have just mailed
to our own Senators and Representatives in the Congress of
the United States, together with a copy of the editorial re-
ferred to:

"Enclosed is a reprint of an editorial that appeared on
the front page of The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, February
eo, 1942.

"Tt is earnestly commended for your attention.

"Tt is eminently fair.

"It expresses the sentiment of a majority of the people
of this city and section.

"It provoked an avalanche of approving letters, tele- 4
grams and telephone calls in Memphis.

"In brief, this editorial seems to me the authentic voice
of the great masses of the American people whose elected re-
presentative and servant you are. We believe any action you
may be able to take and any influence you may be able to exert
toward making the sentiments of this editorial effective will
mean a great contribution toward the winning of war."

If, after reading this editorial and letter, you will
take similar action and will exert your influence toward mak-
ing the sentiments of this.editorial effective, 1 believe you
will contribute much to the early conclusion of this war.

Very truly yours,

Ray T. Wright
