Abstract

The depression has apparently had little influence on race relations during the year. Two events of significance are the Massie case and the report by the Appraisal Commission of the Laymen's Foreign Mission Inquiry. Negro-white relations have manifested the normal state of unrest. The movement to restrict immigration has continued, with decrease of immigration by about 76 per cent during the year. Deportations have continued in greater number than ever before.The situation of the Indian has remained unchanged. Two publications of importance are Professor T. J. Woofter's chapter on "The Status of Racial and Ethnic Groups" in Recent Social Trends and Professor Donald Young's volume on American Minority Peoples.
