Dear Mr. Wilkins:
Your letter of October 10 with reference to the agricultural
problems of colored people raises several questions which are un-

Letters also have been received from Mr. H. L. Mitchell and
other persons concerned with various aspects of the questions you
raise, and for your information a copy of the reply to Mr. Mitchell
is enclosed.

The Department of Labor now is considering the feasibility of
recommending the establishment of a Presidential Commission on Ag-
ricultural Problems. I am sure that if such a Commission is
established the questions you raise would be among those to which
it would give close study.
Please be assured that whether or not such a Commission is
established the Administration will be continuously interested in
fostering policies which will improve the working conditions and
opportunities of our colored citizens who are engaged in agricul-

Very sincerely yours,
