Since the past few meetings of

debate and discussion of racial
prejudices in regard to Jews, Negroes, and Catholics, Dr. Standing
has agreed to give his opinions,
particularly with reference to the
Negro problem. His opinions arc
reported to be not ones t h a t have

rather, they are the results of a
careful survey which he has conducted himself.
