lips, head of the District Council

U. S. Must Set Pace
For Racial Tolerance,
Mrs. Roosevelt Says
The question of combatting racial
intolerance must be faced as a ques
tion of citizenship in a democracy,
Mrs. Roosevelt told a National
Planning Conference on Building
Better Race Relationships meeting
today at the YWCA, Seventeenth
and K streets N.W.
“We can't have a democracy
where all citizens don’t enjoy the
same rights,” she asserted.
Declaring that a racial conference
is of great importance at the pres
ent time, Mrs. Roosevelt emphasized
the need of laying a foundation now
on which to work for "real integra
tion of citizens.” Unless such a foun
dation is established, she said, many
minority groups will have to face
restrictions after the war.
As the greatest democracy today,
she continued, this country has the
opportunity and obligation to prove
that democracy works.
Mrs. Roosevelt expressed the opin
ion that the young people today are
less prejudiced than their elders and
will continue to be more open
minded.
“But we can’t wait until they
grow up,” she declared.
Warning that prejudices spread i
until, “in the end, nobody really |
knows what he started having a I
prejudice against,” she declared, “we j
can't afford to let prejudice grow j
in any part of the world.”
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke after a round
table discussion on the problems of
Indian. Negro, Mexican and Jewish
minorities. Mrs. Estelle Massev Rid
dle of the National Council of Negro !
Women deplored “discrimination”
and “'mistreatment” of Negro sol-1
diers and segregation of blood in
blood banks.

lessor of anthropology at Columbia
University, declared that race preju
dices cannot be Justified scientific
ally. She said that while there have
always been conflicts involving
classes and races, “the great curse
of racialism,” as it exists today, is
relatively new.
The importance of joint efforts to
meet the problems of the minority
was stressed by other speakers, in
cluding Mrs. Ruth Muskrat Bronson
of the Office of Indian Affairs, Inte
rior Department; Ernesto Galarza
of the Pan-American Union, and
Miss Belle D. Mazur of the National
Council of Jewish Women.

of Jewish Women, Council of Negro
Women, Council of Women of the
United States, Women's Trade
Union League and National Board
of the Young Men's Christian Asso
