problem involved in racial relations
In addition to extending the gen.
eral participation OF the Negro in
general governmental activities the
administration has appointed in the
various federal departments and
agencies special racial advisers This
policy has increased participation
of-Nesro citizens generally in gov,
eminent and has improved the
opportunity for the Negro to parti-
cipate in the determination of gov
ernmental policies. By way OF
being practical in the fight for
freedom such gains should be
recognized as gains and utilized in
every possible way for further
gains.
3. The opened doors in industry
the government. and the military
service, are open doors only TO the
extent that qualified applicants
enter. Education remains the great
est need Of the Negro. Negro youth
and adults as well must work to
improve their skills and their gen.
eral education. The various train
ing agencies now open should Be
utilized to the fullest extent.
4. We should accord the highest
respect 10 Negro men indicted into
the military service as soldiers OF
freedom. and participate in every
activity designed to improve their
morale.
In short in respect to all these
suggestions, the foundation princi-
pie on which our support Of the
war should be based is that the
strength the great offensive by.
from peoples for the winning OF the
war is measured by the extent to
which the free peoples OF the world
strengthened by their enjoyment O.
free institutions, can combine ant
coordinate their all-out efforts fol
the winning OF the war.
