MARCUS CARNEY SPEAKS.

Marcus Garvey has and gone Dallas has and
heard him. yet the shines usual and men and women go
their daily tasks in their accustomed His coming and
his presence were taken as matter OF course
There have been those among us who viewed his coming
with but the lack OF necessity for such fears amply
by the lack Of interest which the public whole showed in
the occasion
conssten with those which have been accustomed by
speakers for In short Garve visit to Dallas serv
ed him from the acay exalted plane to which
manatons had raised him and to show him to nearly

actual conditions have mde necessary that he should consider
response to his pleas made no doubt in good faith have
BILE practically and efficiently handle it and his legal and nan
Icial difficulties have been the result
who breaks small hole in DAM has been engufed in the flood
which he finds pouring in upon him and in its presence he is
lhepess overwheImed-and his attempts at his

hope that the effort which he was making would cause the
work together to the end that their might be mutually

particular he has erred preaching to for ne holds up to
Jus and generally the far unatanabe and collects

Heretofore have hestated to Garvey for what
seemed to the quality Of mpractcabty But now we feel
that that may be Justly expressed His from
the without doubt gained primarily because of the go
ou pictures which he paints of enhancing future Negro
state But he a leader with conscience and real vision
should be unwilling lay himself liable the criticism of dis
honestly and exploitation by claiming that the moneys entrusted

Steamship lines owned by Negroes to be desired fund
substantial enough to aid the Negro governments in Africa

other visionary is not possibility and it should
net be preached.
We surprised that mention made of the steam
ships owned by the Assoc and of the factories operation
We had expected to hear reference made the numerous

explanation of the of such charges but
Doubtless he considered such unnecessary But the
state such references We had hoped that
would have been made of them
The Garvey movement no doubt is gigantic have
been led to believe but study Of it has convinced that

will eventually defeat it. The government in Africa the
to which we refer 1t is unnecessary it mprlcabe it is
impossible

Thus would Garveys dream nearly be realized for in
