considering the question. whether
they would allow the white man to
remain in this country or not" said
Monday:
That such an Interpretation should be
placed on my remarks at Oxford Is truly
surprising. What l said and the thought
I meant to convey was that I was In
Africa last year and saw my own con.
dition and what I was 300 years ago
And whatever the progress Of develop
ment had been. would not discuss and
had no complaint to make. ! said the
American negro Is the biggest negro In
the world to-day. and there was no use
in his standing around asking what tho
white man was going to do with us, but
he should ask the question: What are we
going to do with ourselves? That we had
reached the place. after being here near
~ 800 years. where we had as much right
TO consider what we should do with the
white man as he had TO consider what
he would do with us, The fact Is that

Last April Miss DefeRbach applied

left. About the middle-of August Miss
Defenbach also, secured insurance in
