SENTIMENTS BY
EMPLOYERS FOR
FEPC EXPRESSED

NEW YORK-To eounteract
the determined drive of reaction
airy employers against FEPC, and
to make vocal the value of o
permanent agency by enlightened
industries, the NAACP wired a
number of the latter asking for
statements. The following replies
received in answer to inquiries
made June l8 are representative
Of the sentiments expressed,
Cd Full employment not pos
sible unless fair employment
practices are observed other
wise minoritles will be diserim-
mated against and a resentfui
under privileged group will re-
suit. Every comprehensive survey
shows discrimination in employ
ment practices exists and con-
stitutes an evil demanding rene
dial legislation as promised by
1914 Republican platform and as
previously urged by Franklin
Roosevelt and now strongly back
ed by President Truman"
CD 1.-THE only thing that holds
them (Employers) back is pub
lie opinion and Federal law
would be of infinite value to
those employers who would like
to go forward in this matter ans
ere fearful of public opinion"
(3) Permanent Government
Agency to insure equality of en-
ployment opportunity fer all
Americans is desperately neees-
sary in the period Of considerable
dislocation. Tension and friction
which unfortunately will mark
Americas practice will on my
opinion greatly minimize diff
culties of employers and unions
alike and aid the establishment
of a peaceful economic and socia
environment
(4) I'VE believe that industry
lean contribute to the long rang;
solution Of this problem By
showing its willingness to employ
those who are best qualified re-
garless of race, color or creed"
