who had been denounced was man born

ca,ion; q man who by his
industry, his energy and his brains had
butlt up the greatest American ship build.
Ing interest which bad ever existed He
was man In character, the equal of those
who denounced him. He (Robeson),
was not man who would denouncc
American industry because somebody prof =

which would strike blow at American In.
dustry In the interest of foreign labor,
which would bring to this country mann.
