The Negroes situation, though
similar, has not created as much
furOre as has the discrimination
practiced against these native born
whites. The NNew York crisis preci-
pitated an investigation when it was
brought to the attention of New
York's Jewish governor, Herbert
Lehman.
SENTIMENT GROWING
Throughout the country the SEN
timent against such minority groups
continues to grow and it's accelera-
ton has reached such speed as to
spread into sections where such
prejudices never before existed
Attention has been directed to this
condition and that of the Negro who
has been in the same boat for many
years, although previously his treat
ment was looked over. But with the
widespread growth of these preju-
dices, something drastic has to be
done and done Immediately.
DR.. Reid'S position in the bureau
has been to rectify and bring about
such reforms as can be made under
the circumstances, although the task
is very difficult one.
