WASHINGTON, D. C. -(SNS)--
In a conference at the White
House to discuss the recent reports
of the treatment of Negro soldiers
abroad, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
expressed to Walter White, the exec
utive secretary of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
COlored People, her conviction that
Brigadier- General Benjamin O..
Davis had done well in his efforts
toward lessening the tension be-
tween Negro and white soldiers in
the American Expeditionary Forces
stationed In the British Isles.
Mrs. Roosevelt said that friction
created by prejudiced Southern
whites had been somewhat eased.
In answer Mr.. White stated that
while the NAACP did not disagree
with Mrs. Roosevelt concerning the
value of General Davis investiga-
ton, there could however be no
slackening on the part Of the As
sociation in the protest against the
establishment of the Southern jim
CroWism abroad. The attacks made
and propaganda spread by white
officers in England, Australia, and
other parts of the world, to which
Negroes have been sent and the
United States, must be regarded as
one Of the gravest of all problems
and one which the NAACP will
continue to fight.
