KEYNOT ADDRESS AT
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE
CONFERENCE

The Green Pastures Camp, Jack
son, Mich.-"Three decades after
the founding of the Urban League
movement We have assembled in
tbs atmosphere of tranquility at
a time when the diplomatic rela-
tionships around the world are
hanging by a thread of circum-
stances. Perhaps at no time in the
history of the League movement
or in the history of organized So
ciety have the peoples of the
earth been more conscious of their
economic uncertainty as is true
of people everywhere at the pre-
sent time. 1t is such a time as
this that members of the Urban
League family, both staff and
board affiliations, are called upon
to re-evaluate our program a
gainst the rapid changes that are
taking place in our economic So
ciety as a background. New skills
must be employed, new technique
developed.
notwithstanding these has
been a marked decrease in the
morbidity and mortality rates of
Negroes during the history of the
League movement the rates r
still both high. The same thing is
true of the crime rate. There are
economic causes, we admit, which
are contributory factors to this
abnormalty. However. these rates
must come down. 1t is for us to
decide what we can do about it.
"The present low7cost housing
program has not been able to
