PRIST ATTITUDE
TOWARDS NEGRO
Mr. Wilson Receives University
Commission on Southern Race
Questions at the White House
Washington.—Outlining his attitude
toward the negro, President Wilson
today told the University Commission
on Southern Race Questions, made up
of representatives of eleven Southern
colleges, that “our object is to know
the needs of the negro and sympathet
ic-ally help him in every way that is
possible for his good and our good.”
Dr. C. H. Brough, of the University
or Arkansas, chairman of the commis
sion, told the president the commis
sion was organized to make an impar
tial study of the race question from
the standpoint of the negro's eecono
mic, hygienic, civic and moral better
ment. He said a deep investigation
of the subject was being made with
the good of the negro always in mind,
Replies.
"I am very glad to express my sin
cere interest in this work and am in
sympathy with it,” nd the president
In reply to Dr. Brougn.
,"1 think that men like yourselves
can be trusted to see this great ques
tion at every angle. There isn't any
question, it seems to me into which
more candor needs to be put, or more
thorough human good feeling than
this. I know myself as a Southern
man. how sincerely the heart of thfe
South desires the good of the negro
and the advancement of his race on
all sound and sensible lines, and
everything that can be done in that
direction is of the highest value. It
is a matter of common understand
ing.
Tells a Lamb Story.
‘There is a charming story told
about Charles Lamb. The conversa
tion in his little circle turned upon
some men who were not present, and
Lamb, who you know, stuttered, said,
'I hate that fellow.’ His friend said,
‘Charlie, I didn’t know you knew him.
La ml) said, 'I don’t; I—l can't hate
a fellow I—T know.’
"I think that is a very profound
human fact. Y'ou cannot hate a man
I you know-. And our object is to know
the needs of the negro and sympa
thetically help him in every way that
is possible for his good and for our
good. I can only bid you Godspeed
in w-hat is a very necessary and great
undertaking.”
