ADJUSTMENT ABSORPTION
AND INTERROGATION

The obvious course for community
leadership to follow in order to head
off the racial explosions that are
bound to come, Granger suggested,
is the one that leads progressively
to adjustment, absorption, and in
tegratlOn of Negroes into their COM
munities, whether old or new. With
this process. Negroes viii gradually
overcome cultural lags, lose social
disabilities and get rid of those
group characteristic which frequent
ly make them dIstinguishable from
an Objectionable to older and more
solidly established population groups
white OF Negro.
Employment and housing problems
must be alleviated, Granger wrote
and, showing aside any suggestion
that they cannot be, he pointed TO
the successful experiments conducted
by the government private leader
ship, and individuals in handing
bad situations during the war emer.
gency. notably FEPC ard the vel
untary action on the cart Of en-
ployers and international la5o,
unions to improve their racial
practices.
TEAMWORK NEEDED
In observing that one of the an
swers to smoother race relations
is better teamwork between white
and Negro leaders, Granger said.
Too much Negro leadership IN the
past has fallen under the head OF
militant protest and not enough
under that of cooperative planning
!. When in addition to fighting
against employment and housing
discrimination, Negro leadership
sets to work to improve job eflicien-
cy and neighborhood conditions
within the existing Negro commu-
nifty, that leadership's arguments
against segregation and discrim-
nation are made more effective.
On the other hand, Granger
stated, too much interest on the
part of whites in the Negroes wei
fare is on a level of conoescension
unpleasantly reminiscent to the Ne
gro of the old-ilme missionary who
offered salvation wi;nouU HAVING
first achieved it himself. Those
modern missionaries want to work

have enough republicans sign the
discharge petition to bring the Bill

ate side Senator Joseph H. Ball, re-
publican of Minnesota, seeks to put
the democrats in dilemma.
He recognizes their bitter OPPOSE
ton to FEPC Legislation and their
equal opposition to communism and
other totalitarian doctrines and as
sets that failure to pass such leg
islation is driving Negroes into the
Communist Party. But 1 cannot
blame them if, embittered by the
failure of their government TO act

finally help pull all of us down to

pen says Lester B. Granger, Exc
cutive Secretary, the National Ur-
ban League, writing on "Racial
and Tomorrow's Solution in the
January February 1916 issue OF
PREDICTIONS.
In his prediction OF important
things to come" Granger warns
that although racial disharmony is
on a higher social level than ever
before in our national history, it Is
foolish blindness" not to recognize
that race relations disharmony to-
day is more acute than any time
since the Civil War.
WAR TENSIONS MENACE
Among the visible factors con-
tributing TO Instantaneous race re-
lationS Granger listed the war i'm
migratiOns of approximately 10000
Negroes into hostile, unready COM
munities, and the resulting housing
employment, and recreation diff
culties. Among hidden" factors he
included war nerves, the Negro:
own participation in the war with
/ the announced opJecJ1ve 10 assure
/ human liberties and the resent
ment generated among the armed
forces and civilians at the discriml
nation practiced against him. Th
last straw, the League Executlv
stated was the utilization of Negr
SerVicemen on the floor of tn
Senate and the House at Washing

kins.

emphasized, race relations CONVEX

that the war is over This last, III
dication is fathered perhaps by the
hope that Negroes will be force
to return to their original nom
towns without their lucrative wa
