FPHA Replaces FSA
AS Landlord Here

Yesterday, five years after the
first families moved into the pro-
ject, Greenbelt was transferred
from the Farm Security Admins
tration to the Federal Public
Housing Administration. This in
line with an act of Congress
earlier in the year which establish
ed the FPHA to absorb all public
housing activities scattered
throughout 16 different Federal
agencies.
The old Resettlement Admins
tration. under the guidance of
which Greenbelt came into being,
had its name changed just a few
months ago. Few persons con-
nected with FSA in Washington
are expected to be transferred to
the FPHA.
Local officials indicated they
saw little reason to expect major
changes in policy or operations
for guiding this community;

knowledge prejudice but they are
beginning to believe in varying
degrees that their prejudice is
wrong. They Ire beginning to
see or at least to suspect that dis
elimination On the unjust ground
of color works evil not only to
those who bear the burden of dig
elimination, but to those who har-
Dor it, just as in the old days,
which permitted slavery, not only
the slaves were harmed but the
slave owners too. Slavery is a
double edged knife in any society
where it exists and race discrim-
ination s the aftermath of slavery.
The third white group in our
country is smaller than the second
but not SO small as the first. It
is made up of those white people
in whom race prejudice is deeply
ingrained because tradition still
holds them bound, or because their
lack of intelligence and economic
opportunity demand a class yet
lower than their own so that they
can feel superior to somebody.
These white people are the enem-
les of freedom. Should the Axis
win, these would be its friends.
They would rule this country IN
der the guidance of Hitler and the
Japanese.
If the American white people
belonged mostly to the first group
there would be no need for this
letter. The work would be done.
Those conditions under which you
are now living, rich and poor, ed
ucated and uneducated, would al
ready have disappeare. If the A
merican people belonged mostly
to the third group this letter would
not be printed at all. We would
now be fighting on the side of the
Axis and against the democracies
and we would be planning a COM
plete subjugation Of all the colored
peoples in the world.
But the American white people
belong mostly to the middle group
those who have inherited or been
trained in prejudice, but who be-
cause they have also inherited
and been trained in the American
ideals of human freedom and e.
quality now find a serious conflict
within themselves. For the most
part they honestly want to do
right, but they are afraid, because
they see that this right will make
great changes in our national life.

they dread that which they do not

peoples have failed most disast-
rously to practice full democracy,
and so little because if the Axis
win. color would not save or damn
anyone. The freedom of colored
and white together would then be
lost.
Faulty as our democracy is, the
United States must be the leader
in this a for the right of peop,-
es to be free. -. there is no other
leader to whom we can look. We
have as our great ally the old de-
mocracy of China. But China is
not equipped except as we can E.
quip her for a military war. The
main burden rests upon our own
country. 1t is inevitable, too, that
after this war the United States
must be the leader in the peace.
China will be deeply concerned in
that peace, but there are concern
ed also the peoples of India and
Malaysia, the Philippines and all
the conquered peoples in Europe
and Africa. The United States
must be prepared in mind and spir
It to lead ali these toward freedom
We r not prepared now. The
division between colored and white
in our own country is dangerous,
not only for ourselves but for that
new world after the war to which
! we all look with hope. You have
a peculiar responsibility to that
world, a responsibility to think in
terms of the whole human race, to
think of freedom in the ladgest pos
sible sense, and to consider likely
means by which freedom may be
established as a common human
principle.
AS for the white people of our
country. you know them very web.
There is one group among their
who have no race prejudices. All
over this country I know there are
men and women who have an hon
est determination to work for real
freedom and equality. They are
aware of how much and how
wrongly the colored American suf-
fers from racial and economic dis
elimination. These you must up
hold by every means in your pow
er, for should democracy not be
victorious, they will have to give
their lives because they spoke and
