THE NEGROES PROTEST

The annual international convention

just completed a very successful ses
sion OF that great organization in
New York. President General Marcus
Garyey is making an appeal for more
funds to redeem Africa. That body
went OIL record as opposing the Span,
ish Government in its effort to subju.
gate the people of Morocco. The reso.
buttons adopted will have tendency
to arouse tho people Of Spain and THE

Negroes against the conspiracy of

by right Of heritage belonging to the
darker races now inhabitating the
country, as we'll as those in exile.
For the further peace of the world
