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

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,
