GEORGE Il. WEBICAN FLAYS
CARNEY MOVEMENT,
(Preston News Service.)

Newark, N. j., Aug. 3O.-In his al.
dress before the Elks' convention
Past Grand Exalted Ruler, George Il
.Webican, Of Brooklyn, N. Y, said IL
part:
The future Of the Negro in Ameri.
ca lies In the linking Of his destln..
with that OF the white race and yet ut
the same time preserving bis racial
characteristics. l have just completed
tour Of this country, observing con.
ditions everywhere.
"The Negro is only half free-puIt-
tically and economically. 1t is not all
his fault. But in one sense il is and
III anobher sense 1t Is not. The Negro
IS politically free in the North, but
he eXerts but little political Influence
anu has no political representation
for his numbers. Despite his over
whelming vote in certain localities, no
is represented by whites in almost
every important political body.
THE remedy for political conditions
among the Negroes in the South rests
largely with the Negroes Of the North.
Northern colored voters should exc,
else their united influence TO decrease
slave conditions south Of the Mason
and Dixon line.
Here are four recommendations
which believe will enable Negroes to
obtain and maintain political and eco
monte equality:
Ffrst-to have tho whites under.
stand that the dostinies Of the tw,.
peoples are linked in America.
Second:-TO stand like rocn
against lawlessneSs:
Third-To think independently liz
politics.
Fourth-ro understand the power
Of the Negro numbers.
"Amplifying the first of these.
wish right here to have it understood
that l deprecatc the idea of Africa for
Africans rs advanced by Marcus Gar.
vey the self-sty)ed, sclf.elected provis
lonal president Of Africa, who is the
object Of considerable opposition at
present in New York City from nom
hers of his own race.
His name ought to be Gravey. Mar.
Gus Gravcy would just about cover
him adequately. Africa is the cente.
or white exploitation. Africa was prob
ably the indirect cause Of the great
World War. And the American Negro
is so far from Africa that he would be
no more at home there than the wl1to
man.
II am unalterablly opposed to tn.
GarVeyizing Of America. Carney M.
penls to the sentiment Of mother-lani
among the Negroes without remember
ing that America Is by now the moth
er1and Of the American Negro. And
Garvey himself comes from Jamaica"
