Success for a Racial
Movement for
Negroes

Success of a racial movement of Ne
groes is predicted in the Nation for
December 2S, and various questions
and "honest doubts" about the Garvey
movement are answered.
The Nation was the first great ma
tional weekly to take up the cause of
the Negro in America and Haiti and
throughout the world. Never ceasing
to call the attention of its wide group
of readers to the injustices and op-
pressions against which the Negro has
to struggle, the Nation here reviews
the Negros constructive attempt at
self-determination, and interprets it
sympathetically through an article by
William C. Pickens. The growth of
the Garvey movement is described
with mention of the Black Star Line,
t.,e4 African Communities League, and
related enterprises.
Even if a republic of Africa should
not be realized for many years, it can
only be stronger for a solid prepara-
ton, says Mr.. Pickens. He feels,
however, that it would be unfortunate
if American Negroes should become so
absorbed in the international move
ment as to miss any opportunity OF
Strengthening their position in Amer
lea.
'Ten years ago." he says, sit seemed
impossible to get the Germans out of
Africa. Something happened, unpre-
dictable and unbelievable. Are the
British and French empires less NOR
tai than Germany seemed ten years
ago?'

JAMES WELDON JOHNSON REPORTS
GOOD PROGRESS ON dyer BILL

lished two editorials each in the
course of one week. More editorial
support is promised when the Dyer bill
is debated after the holiday season.
There is therefore the best reason
for encouragement among those who
have been working for the passage of
the Dyer bill The victory is not won,
but all preliminary obstacles have
been cleared away. 1t remains now
only to organize sentiment even more
completely than before, to have every
interested person, white or black, en-
dorse the Dyer bill to his representa-
tives in Congress, and to see to it that
no friend of progress in race relations
is left uninformed of the Dyer bill,

JAMES Weldon Johnson, secretary
II u the National Association for
III the Advancement of Colored
People 40 Fifth avenue, New
a. York. on returning to New York
after ten days spent in Washing
ton, issued the following statement on
the present status of the Dyer anti
lynching bill, II. r. 13:
Nothing but debate now stands be-
tween the Dyer bill and Il vote in the
House of Representatives. All of the
preliminary groundwork necessary for
the passage of the measure has been
laid. l. In spite of bitter opposition,
the committee on rules made special
rule bringing the Dyer bill before the
House of Representatives. =. The
House of Representatives in session
adopted that rule despite last ditch
3. The House went into committee of
the whole and the bill was read. When
Congress reconvenes after the holidays
the House will debate the bill, and,
believe, will pass it.
1.-The main opposition to the Dyer
bill came from Southern Democrats,
in the form of the old charge that the
Negro was rapist. This charge the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People at once re-
futed by sending to every Republican
leader in the House statistics show
ing that rape had only been charged
against 1866 per cent of the victims of
3434 lynchings since 1889. The charge
was also refuted on the floor of the
House by representatives who read
statistics prepared by the National AS
sOcation for the Advancement of Col
ored People Among those who are
fighting for the passage of the bill are
Representatives Campbell of Kansas,
chairman of the committee on rules;
Mondell of Wyoming, Republican floor
leader; Madden of Illinois, chairman
of the committee on appropriations
Volstead of Minnesota; Burton of
Ohio; Ansorge of New York. Goody-
koontz of West Virginia; F'ess of
Ohio; Moores of Indiana; Fordney of
Michigan; Longworth of Ohio, and
Dyer of Missouri.
"The Southern Democrats further
tried to impede progress on the Dyer
bill by repeatedly insisting on Il roll
call of members present and then
filing out of the chamber so that no
quorum was present. These tactics
were met by locking the doors of the
House and sending out sergeants-at-
oh, nlng
due credit was given to the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People by its oppon-
ents. Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina said:
''The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People who
are responsible for the presentation of
this bill to the House, pleaded with
the Republican convention for such
declaration in SIS PLATFORM
'.The declaration Mr.. Byrnes refers
to is the request that Congress CON
slider the most effective means to pre-
vent lynching' which appeared in the
Republican platform.
The national office was active dur
ing the debates on the bill. 1nforma-
