NEGROES TO COLONlZE?

(By the Associated Negro Press)
ST. Louis, Mo-. Aug. 27.-Plans for
the colonization of American Negroes
in a new free state to be set up on
the Mexican border, said to have the
support of the 100000 members of the
race who comprise the Free Will NJ
E. Church, will be set in motion at
of the church to be held in ST. Louis,
according to the statement made yes
terday by Dr. NJ. NJ Madden of Ok
lahOma City, a delegate to the con-
vention, will eliminate entirely the
race question from the list of problems
facing the United States.
DIR. Madden's plan is that the new
state be governed upon modified ter
ritorial principle. Laws shall be made
by the Negro citizens of the state
but shall be subject to veto by the
United States Government. Except
for this veto, however, the colony shall
be entirely self-governing, and rela-
tions with the United States shall be
by treaty. The state shall consist of
100 square miles of territory, 500 on
the American side of the Rio Grande
River and 500 on the Mexican side
The United States shall buy the Amer
ican territory from the individual citi-
zens, and the Mexican territory from
the Mexican Government. Negro prop
erty in the United States shall be ap-
praised and bought up by the Govern
ment, but emigration shall not be
compulsory.
