ing, at Hie rlo<licrttinn. hf new build- ' n

to! stimulate local efforts toward ,T
securing for the State of. Missouri e

ticipate in the country-wide $500,-' ci
? 000,000 campaign to rehouse the q
. poor of the slums in new homes e:
f at rents within the reach of the b;
lowest-income groups. 1 t<
"Today, in the United State s, on ; c
a national scale, we are executing c<
a new program for social better- a
ment. Here, again, the Government
* '' ~ is taking flao loud rincd it fons bbiltci
come manifest that the problem v;
is so large And so vital that Gov- pt?
?li-l_ ernment alone is equipped tojncetji'
it, I -refer to the rehousing of low- c'
income families," said Dr. Weaver.
"Aside from the need for decent'^
low-rent housing, among colored 1'
citizens, which is so evident in all
sections, finvprnmptvt hmwin Viuola
a further significance for Negroes.
The whole theory behind public jV
housing is that the individual is ''
~ HfTecled greatly by his environment
Not only does the person develop
L more fully if he is given better jl
"surroundings, but society benefits
greatly because a better citizen is ''
produced." '}(
^ . "If communities can be br ought o(
conceivable that-thc-9?me-a?alyjiL3-L^
can be extended throughout the1 -j
area. For the reasoning which de- ^
clares that nothing can be done
, for the slum-dweller because he IV
~ ~ has reached his natural level, die- g
tales that Negroes are poor, ignor- ^
ant, and underprivileged because
they arc naturally inferior.
"To stress encnonmeTftal factors ti
is to open new doors "of opportunitv
and hone to colored Ameri- I
cans. Indirectlyj a successful housin^
program will (lr> this. Directly t
it must benefit thousands of Negro_
families.
"Under tlie United States Hous- p
ing Authority, the first move must ^
, be made by cities where public ol
spirit demands eradication of slum
' areas. The Authority" u'nuV\Lnlr-_i:i
- .ton nrovides advice, technical as-riv
. sistance, and finally funds" after jj
the requirements set forth in the
law have been met by the appli- 5
cants for a loan. ' v,
"The degree to which Negroes
will benefit from the program of 0
the.'USHA will depend, in large
measure', upon ".'theIf" participation?g
in and consideration by local hous
ing authorities. If we may judge
the future by the past, we can
look forward to a housincr program ^
?-in. Missouri which will include
much Negro participation. At the
present time the State of Missouri
h not riiiiilinv 1 under tho jm-ms of p
. the United States Housing Act of jj
, 1037 to ask for loans.
"If the splendid record you have
achieved in regard to securing ben R1
efits for Negroes from public funds I.
is to be continued in the field oi ^
housing, there are several neees- *,
sary steps. First, enabling legislation
must be enacted at once. Second,
local housing authorities must T
be established; an:l finally, projects
designed to relieve the hous- ^
ing situation of Negroes must he
