 Who Duckrey 8.
 In speaking of the great movement Duckrey said to the representative of The Sunday Post:
 There Is approximately as much va- cant and hitherto useless land in New England as there is in the State of Ms sissippi. The negroes are born farmers and will take a delight in making this arid desert fertile.
 We have today, in Cambridge and Bos- ton, titanic example of the industry of the pioneers of these shores. and the negro, equipped with modern tools, can eclipse their efforts.
 Farmers all over New England recog- nize that the negro is an excellent farm hand, and I have letters innumerable of fering to take field help at any time l choose to furnish 1t.
 Manufacturers will find among the hundreds that are coming many skilled workmen who have been brought up to work to their utmost strength. This is especially true in the textile work.
 For years the situation in the South has been growing more atd -pore un- bearable. The negro is fdown-trodden every day, and 4 am convinced that if he be a revolution in three years time.
 South is Helpless.
 "On the other hand, if the negro is taken from the South that section of the country will be helpless. The majority of the whites are either of two trades gentlemen or trash. Neither can till 6 field.
 They recognize that fact and that is the reason We have had to keep our sta- tions in the South secret.
 "Reverting to history we find that the only true alleviation of the sufferings of a race has come through exodus. Take the flight of the Hebrews from Egypt, for example, and that Is what the col ored man in the South is going to do.
 Most of us who have made our exo- duses are the better for 1t, and we are going to help those who have not taken the step.
 Although the negro is ili-treated. he loves the South and some day, when the white people there realize that they can- not do without us, we will all return"
 What Mayor McNames Says.
 Mayor McNamee, in speaking of the movement. stated to The Sunday Post that he fully endorsed any movement in which Duckrey was interested. He, as does Duckrey also, denies that politics have anything to do with the movement, though it is admitted in political circles that Duckrey was a powerful factor in giving the present Mayor a large colored vote.
