During times of depression colored people suffer
more than any others because Of lack Of jobs Many
withheld from them because preference given to
white person who will take any job offered We know
this situation exists and while make every effort to
this unfairness, must be fully cognzan OF
it.
Because of this situation, Negroes have been forced
relief and WPA in greater proportion than any other
people. BY the same token when cuts made in
relief and WPA rolls the Negro suffers than does
any other group.
For this reason The Forum is interested in the relief
and WPA setup and resents any political manipulation
Of these funds to the detriment Of the Negro who IS
forced to avail himself Of this governmental aid
1t is becoming increasingly apparent that the Roose-
welt administration has used both these agencies as
political football The only difference being that the
unfortunate people relief and WA rolls are the ones
who are getting kicked around
Let's look at faess, that tend to prove lhat

The WPA added 10000 persons to the payroll IN

Of about 2 900 600 workers the payroll by WPA.

White House Mrs. Roosevelt is actively particpat-
ing In no campaign 10 help re-eleci her hushaad
because so much Of his time is taken IN with foreign
matters that loom very large al this time
The biz guns are firing all along the line now
that state conventions out OF the way and full
attention is focused on the national campaign.
Things are different with the Negro in the Ma
tonal hook W with the Republican party There is
no special Negro Division operating INDEPENDENTS
THIS me There are Negro national advisors and
speakers llsi hui each Republican state Commit

There are many changes brought about By the orga-
nzalion OF Willkie Clubs ependenily OF the Re-
OF the responsibilities for the campaign 10 these clubs
