Before conducting the series, the discussion leader should read carefully section

V, WD Circular 76, 1947, and WD Circular 124, 1946, which are reprinted on the
last pages of this Talk. Circular 124, 1946, gives the general provisions of a revised

Army policy about the use, training, organization, and assignment of Negro per-

the revised policy is based.
In Part I of the Talk stress should be laid upon the threefold objective of the

policy:
(3) White officers,
1. An immediate objective- a more varied use of the Army's Negro manpower
for Negpro
than has been peacetime practice hitherto.
2. An ultimate objective-the effective use of all available manpower, and and V

war come again, without regard to antecedent or race.
3. An over-all objective-increasing the effectiveness of the Army.
In all the Talks it should be borne in mind that discussion of "race" is likely to
touch off sparks from individuals who have deep-seated beliefs, convictions, or
prejudices in one direction or another. Such discussion, however, may be handled
constructively if the group is kept aware that while differences in personal opinion

are to be expected and respected, the basic purpose of the Troop Information
Program is to bring information to troops and to develop understanding through
