Mc Clelland, D.F. |
Letter, August 3, 1928117 |
[Mr. McClelland, General Secretary of YMCA in Madras, in a letter of July 23, 1928, recalled that he had spoken to Gandhiji earlier about American immigration laws which excluded Indians and about an appeal which was being made to the American Congress and people for an amendment of the laws. He sent a copy of the appeal sponsored by the Commission on International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, and a digest of letters received in reply. Dr. Sidney Gulick, the Secretary of the Commission, had asked Mr. McClelland for a judgment, after careful investigation, as to whether the sore point lay in the race discrimination feature or in the fact of exclusion. McClelland requested Gandhiji's opinion on this matter as that would be of great value.118] |
