Status Being Sought.
Mr., Houston declared the basic
yearning of Negroes is for status.
He said America has adopted a
policy dealing with Negroes that
can only be compared to an internal
combustion engine" that is exerting
continual pressure on them, and
warned that there is tremendous
ferment in Negro groups"
Negroes, he continued, feel that
the old era of Western European
supremacy is dead but that intel
llgent Negroes realize their stake
in America. The colored race knows
it is going up or down with the
Nation and it is hopeful of going UP.
He declared the white race may have
to face a coalition of China, India
and Russia after the armistice unless
present lines of racial discrimination
are erased.

Mr.. Houston called for action in
solving Americas multiple racial
problems. pointing out that the
Negro is not content to sit and wait
patiently for developments in his
favor when he knows there is no
definite program to help him.
