Three local men Interested in the racial problem issued invitations for the luncheon at which Mr. Fuller and Dr. Thomas E. Jones, president of Fiske University, spoke. Those sponsoring the luncheon were: 'J.

Warren Marshall, president of the Wilmington Y. M. C. Gilbert T. Stephenson, and J.

Edgar Rhoads, vice-president of the Y. M. C. A Mr. Fuller stated that the eco nomic forces most interested in a solution of the race problems are business houses, since they will suf fer if there is friction.

The reason that this area has had little race trouble is due to the fact that there has been more thought here on the part of intelligent white business men, he said. In the Philadelphia area last year $40,000 was contributed by business toward the support of Negro colleges. When the Philadelphia trolley strike was pending, this contribution was remembered, Mr. Puller said. The comparatively slight trouble at the time of the strike is a practical illustration of public relations that all business would be wise to emulate, Mr.

Fuller said. The Negro would rather talk to management than labor, Mr. Fuller added, declaring that business must show the Negro that it is interested In his welfare. One step toward a solution is to support the Negro college effort, he said, referring to the present cam throughout the nation, with a quota of $100,000 for Wilmington. Philadelphia, Chester, and vicinity.

This fund would support a total of 32 Negro colleges one of which, Lincoln College, is in the North, and the rest in the South. The total endowment of these colleges is or one-fourth of the endowment of Harvard University. Originally each college made an annual, individual appeal for funds, but the new plan Is to make a concerted drive for one month of each year for all 32 colleges.
