FLEMING, WILLIAM HENRY. Treaty-making power; Slavery and the race problem in the South. $1.50 Stratford co. 341.2
20–12527
The book contains two speeches by the author as a member of Congress from the tenth Georgia district. The practical issue underlying the speech of the Treaty-making power was given by the crisis threatening legislation in California to discriminate against Japanese children in the public schools. The second speech, Slavery and the race problem in the South, is a courageous plea for justice on behalf of the negro.
