"pREJUDI(E MUST GO" Says
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

BROOKLYN, Nov. 20 (ANP)-
"Bias must Co." Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt told an audience of 5000
students at Brooklyn college. The
group, assembled in commemora-
tion of the massacre of Czech stu
dents by the Nazis in 1889, listened
to the first lady blast religious and
racial intolerance as dangerous"
foes to the Presidents campaign,
and decry them as issues which
must co.
1--WE must do away with those
things in this country" she said.
1--WE did appeal to dangerous things
in the campaign; we aroused
thoughts of racial and religious diff
ferences, and, if you allow prejudice
on any subject, then you have pre-
judice on many subjects. Prejudice
grows until everybody has a special
prejudice of his own and then unity
is destroyed"
The best way to eliminate preju-
dice is to work in the schools with
youth, Mrs. Roosevelt believes.
"Older individuals must stop look
ing at people as though they were
Jumped together in one lump and
consider them as individuals.
Weary soldiers, the Presidents
wife went on to say, will do better
job of being citizens when they re-
turn because they have learned to
live and work together. "These
men will perhaps come back" she
stated, understanding better how
each individual citizen is impor-
tant. They know that if one man
fails, the whole day may be lost .
Celebrating further upon her
idea Of the changed soldier, Mrs.
Roosevelt mentioned recent visit
to submarine base at Hawaii. She
had commented to an officer con-
cerning the democracy practiced by
the submarine crews; Negroes and
white eat and work together" she
observed.
