IN RELIEF STRESSED Rosenwald Fund Head Says Race Offers New Opportu- nity to Business. “The time for sentimentality about the Negro is passed; we are interested in Negro welfare simply as a part of national progress,” Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, declared yesterday in addressing the closing session of the Conference on the Economic Status of the Negro, ll;ueld under auspices of the Rosenwald ind. “In this national effort to revive prosperity,” he said, “we must include the Negro not out of sentiment, but for national well-being, since Negrocs make up one-tenth of the entire popu- lation. Every Government department realizes this and is making definite plans to include proper quotas of Ne-I | I groes in public works, re-employment and farm relief. Offers New Opportunity. Politically, he zaid, the Negro is be- ginning to hold an important balance of power in referring to the migration to industrial centers of the North and West.” In the building up of lasting nrosperity he offers business its great- est new opportunity,” Embree said. “An increase in employment and of stand- ards of living among Negroes would in- | crease the buying power of the country by more than the total amount of our present exports. ‘The great:st unde- veloped market for American goods ls' the 12,000,000 Negroes in our midst.” | Others who addressed the conference yesterday were B. F. Hubert, president, | Georgia State Industrial College; W. E. | B. DuBois of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Eugene Knickle Jones, executive | secretary of the National Urban League. —Star Staff Photo | Opposes Idea of New State.
