C. Trotter, of the University French department, in a talk delivered last night to the Negro-Caucasian club. Professor Trotter's speech, the subject of which was "Foreign Problems," dealt chief- ly~ with existing conditions iin France and her colonies, concerning the racial problem, and chiefly, of course, the Negro problem. Professor Trotter pointed out that, although the French people regard Negroes as generally inferior to them- selves, they do not hesitate to recog- nize ability, regardless of the race or color of the person in whom it may be found. The religious beliefs and the customs of all Negroes, including savages, are respected by the French. In short, the French people regard Negroes "first of all as men, rather than members of a race." In attempting to explain this phe- nomenon, Prof. Trotter brought out three main points: the more liberal doctrines of the Catholic religion as contrasted to the Protestant; the sense of logic and justice seemingly peculiar' to the French; and the fact that the French are not burdened with a Negro problem of their own.
