sure he was doing the right thing lat the right time
 The president spoke frankly, say ing that fl the negro people had made Ia mistake in voting for him they ought to correct it, but that be would insist that politics shou not be brought into the question because it was not a political problem.
 With some emotion he said he was not seeking office and that a man who sought the office of the pres .dency was a fool for his pains. He suoke of the intolarable burden of the office and of things which he had to do which were more than the hu- man spirit could carry.
 Emphasizing that he did not care in the least for the political consid- erations involved, Mir. Wilson urged tlat he wanted his auditors to under stand that it was a human prob em and not a political problem While the American people wanted to sup port the advancement of the negro liIt' Il NlANiAt W do HAl v that dN Dl tiA- teal men, everybody knew that there was a point at which friction is apt to occur The question must be stripped of sentiment and viewed in its facts, because the facts got the better of the individual whether ona desired it or not
 The president said ne thought his colleagues in the government depart ments were not trying to put the negro at a disadvantage but simply to make arrangements which woI'd prevent friction H. added that the question involved was not a question of intrinsic qualities, because all had human souls and were equal in that respect but at present it was a ques- ton of economic policy whether the negro race could do the same things that the white race could do with equal efficiency.
 He said ne thought the negroes were proving that they could and that everyone wished to help them so that they would not be so dependent, and that their conditions of labor would be bettered Tine entire matter, how ever. should be treated with a recog- milton of it's difficulties
 Mir Wilson said he was anxious to do what was just and ask for more memorandum from the committee as to instances of segregation about which they complained.
