Informant reports that criticism was directed at Mrs. Roosevelt for her endorsement of an article written by a Negro, 2 thef ROSN, in the cur~ rent issue of the]Saturday Review of Literature and thejHeader's Idgest, in which he attacked'the Negro press for stirring up race hatred and unrest among the Negroes. Informant listed the number of persons present whom he knows to be Communist, and he believes that the meeting was Communistic— ally influenced. It is apparent that, although the Communists are loyal to the Allied ate ee ee le cause in an effort to obtain a victory for Russia, they are quick to attack any person or group of persons criticizing the Negroes, an action which is in furtherance of their attempt to gain a large membership among the Negro population in the Communist Party. Two copies of the above mentioned report are being retained in the ‘files of the New York Field Division. a : Very truly yours, rr a , P. &. FOXWORTH Enclosure (2) Assistant Director P C.C.
