pointment of all American Negro at
the peace table following the war
tn insure interracial cooperation
and recommendations that all
governors recognize Feb. / as Free
dam day are voiced in resolutions
passed by the National Freedom
Day association which met here
recently at the Academy of Music.
The resolutions pointed out that
the association is in complete agree
ment with the four freedoms and
the Atlantic charter and said:
1.-THE President is most respectful
ly requested to use the influence
and power of his Office in the ac-
complishment of complete freedom,
where in every citizen of every ma
tionality will participate and en-
joy all the privileges and hnita-
tons accorded the people of any
political subdivision, irrespective
of racial Identification.
The Committee recommends that
the governors of the 48 states give
appropriate recognition to this day,
Feb. /, as Freedom Day and that
they be requested to use admins
trative, legislative or other facili-
ties as they deem best in their
respective commonwealth to bring
about equal participation by all
citizens of their states for free
dom that embodies the spirit of
the constitution and its amend
mentS.
"ThiS conference believes the
world peace pact of 1919 should
have considered the interests of
all the races of mankind. Failure
to do so proved almost fatal to
civilization. That mistake must
not be repeated. The welfare of
more than 100000 American Ne
groes-13, 100000 in the United
States-is vitality affected by a peace
calculated to safeguard freedom for
all the peoples of the earth, and
must be protected.
There is imperative need for
the fullest recognition, not of us
as Negroes, but as a most valuable
and inseparable part of the United
States, which should have a major
voice at the peace table, and that
those in authority who will have
the selection of Americas peace
makers, be and hereby are most
respectfully requested to consider
this question of selection of repre-
sentative and qualified peacemak-
erS along the broadest lines con-
sistent with Justice and the desire

 The field force will be supple mented by a volunteer group of skilled engineers and managers.
 The manpower officials in the various regions feel free to call upon these individuals when 1t is felt that they can be of special servic in solving problms of the best use of workers. However, the great bulk of the Commissions work will be done by the staff of about 175 Manpower Utilization consultants.
 A few examples will show what is meant by effective use of man. power. One large plant in the east was losing an average of A em- ployes per day out of 10000 per- sons employed. Its attempts to add 2,000 persons to the total work force were futile.
 Manpower Utilization consultants decided that the problem revolved around poor personnel policies, hous- ing, and transportation.
 AS a result of improvements in personnel policies, of interviewing to find why persons decided to leave and of keeping in touch with hous- ing accommodations in the com- munity the company is well on the way to solving it's particular prob- lens.
 The number quitting has fallen from AZ to 12 per day; 1000 per- sons have been added to the labor force. The goal of 2,00O additional workers is apparently within reach.
