NEW YORK Job dis
crimination alone costs the
United States an estimated an
nual loss of $23 billion in
gross national product, it was
declared by Undersecretary of
Commerce Leroy Collins in a
booklet published today de
scribing the work of the Com
munity Relations Service
established by the Civil Rights
Act of 1964. Mr. Collins, for
mer governor of Florida, was
the first director of the Com
munity Relations Service. The
booklet is published by the
Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith.
"I think it has been demon
strated beyond a doubt that
good race relations mean
good business,' Mr. Collins
declared. "Few factors could
be more important to the
business life of a community,"
he added, citing boycotts and
the fear of violence as having
"seriously crippled" entire
communities.
According to Mr. Collins,
the work of private and public
organizations, particularly ci
vil rights organizations and
those that fought discrimina
tion, was the chief factor that
"created the national moral
consensus" that led to the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
"Had it not been for their
efforts to champion the cause
of equal opportunity, I don't
believe we would had the
Civil Rights Act in the first
place,' he declared, stressing
the purpose of the Act as de
signed to bring "actual prac
tice" in America Into "con
