n work for adjusting Negroes to
n American life, and some ma
~ tional committee or commits
sion made up of white and

forth i'm an article by DR. George r.
Haynes. director of Negro economics,
Department of Labor, which will APP

s.. one of the leading weekly periodi-
calls of the country
DIR. Haynes speaks of the changes
in conditions of working people and
especially Negro workers that have
taken place during the war. He points
out that there is IL growing feeling on
the part of colored people that they
should have larger justice as IL result
of their part in the war. He also
states that the Negro soldiers valiant
conduct on the Western front has Gre
ated very favorable sentiment among
white Americans, who are asking
what should be done to secure larg-
rr Justice for the Negroes in our lie
mocracy. As policy that should gam
nationwide acceptance, he repeats
resolution adopted ut II recent recon-
struction conference MS follows; Ihli
every program for national ana com
munity reconstruction shall Adequately
and consciously include provision for
our Negro fellow citizens and for their
cooperation therein
Outlining some of the elements ot
Il nation wide. constructive program OF
democratic adjustment of Negroes TO
American life, he discussed economic
Justice of both landless peasants ai'"
Industrial workers, educational adjust
ment. Improvement of housing ana Nv
ing conditions. and health and sanita-
tion surroundings He points out fhdt
such evils as lynching should be met
by fore of national opposition.
Speaking of the public press. lie
SAYS: Last. but by no means least
il the public press of the country
could be led to adopt national attl-
tude of seeking and giving publicity
TO the better side of Negro character
and life, of emphasizing the better
side of racial cooperation ana rhc'li
relations, much good would be ac'
complished."
In the article in the Public. the
writer cites an illustration OF what
