Clark Howell thinks President Roosevelt is on the “right line” in his response to the race question. Howell believes that if Congress acts on the suggestion “a decidedly forward step” will be taken on “harmonious relations between the races.” Howell further states that the “situation in the South” is “menacing” and if Roosevelt can settle the problem, it will be “the greatest work accomplished by any president since the Civil War.”
