the bow Of the canoe drives forward

Every yaer ABOUT eight thousand

There is nothing difficult about

as they learn to walk. Cases have
been known where people have shown
themselves good swimmers at their
first immersion. To become swim

Any boy who cannot swim, it he

be ashamed. Suppose boy said he

Irish question an issue in the coming
elections in the United States. This
is nothing new. The Irish question
has been an issue in the United States
since the civil war but so far, the only
ones to gain from the agitation were
the capitalist politicians who posed
as friends of Ireland before election.
When DeValera was in America he
played with the Democratic Party and
gave the oil king, Doheny, the priv
ilege of moving resolution in favor
OF Ireland at the 1920 convention
which nominated Cox. In return for
the honor Dohney gave $4,000 to the
Irish cause. DeValera has played
tricks with the Irish question like all
his bourgeois associates. If he were
a real rebel instead of a petty bour-
geois prophet he would look to Mos
COW for aid and not to the capitalist
exploiters at Washington.

4urI Indictment at Huge Negro Congress in N. VI

Negroes how to lead our peopleI We,
the real Americans, we will redeem
the race!" they said.
II am an American Negro" con
tinued Mr.. Sheriff., "born and raised
under the Southern psychology. 1
know what that psychology is-its Pc
culiar oppressive effect And l tell
you that whether Marcus Garvey had
come or not 1 had always thot-since
was large enuf to think at all
l had always thot that the Negro who
was raised in that psychology was
bound to have something killed in him
That if the Negro was ever to have a
real, energetic, courageous Negro
leader, able to tell his people to be
men and to look the world straight in
the face-that if our people were ever
to have such a leader, that he would
have to come from somewhere else
than in the United States of America
And if Marcus Garvey were to go
from US today, l am afraid that we
would have to look for new leader
from somewhere around the west
coast of Africa.
Hard to Get Leaders.
1.-THE Negro Of America raised un-
der such conditions finds it difficult to
develop the qualities of leadership.
The fine material that is fit to lead
the race is killed in the American en-
vironment. Here the Negro from
childhood is jim-crowed, lynched,
kicked about, cursed and made to con-
duct himself as an inferior until he
has not grit enuf left to be leader
"The West Indian Negro, on the
other hand, from the cradle up de-
velops certain independence and a
self-reliance that the American Ne
gro never has the courage to exercise.
The British government is bound to
allow the development of some militia
tive among individual Negroes, for her
position in Jamaica is such that she
has to use certain types of Negroes to
exercise authority over the others. OF
course those who are used that way
are betraying their own people-they
are traitors and renegades and we
despise them-but even at that, in
Jamaica there is a different psy-
chology that permits some men Of in
dependent spirit and self-reliance to
develop"
Mr.. Sheriff. continued:
at makes no difference where our
leader comes from, you may sheer at
him for not being an American. Our
program is not merely to save the Ne
groes of America, but to save the Ne
groes of the world. What matters it
if the leader be a West Indian, if he
has the capacity and the courage to
lead the Race? The American Ne
groes are only fifteen million-only a
drop in the bucket compared to the
number of Negroes in the world"
Explains "Star Line"
Referring to Garvey's "Black Star
Line" steamship corporation venture,
which has been the cause of a tumult
of criticism from other Negro leaders
as well as one indictmet and convic-
ton of Garvey, the speaker said,
"They thot that they could convince
you that Marcus Garvey was thief
and a crook, but they found you were
so we'll organized that you didn't fall
for that sort of propaganda"

cuted, not for preaching a new kind

England" he said, has for that
reason opposed us, and is willing to
put up stiff fight against us. In
some territories our organ, Negro
World is excluded from circulation,
being regarded as dangerous propa-
ganda. We have propaganda that
tells the black man to aspire to come
into his own. France equally objects
to our work. Those who are in con-
troll of Europe have been watching us
and are willing to spend much money
to see to it that we are crippled in our
operations.
1--WE have to expect that sort of
thing from England. She is only try
ing to protect that which is hers, her
civilization, the institutions that she
loves, the heritage that she wishes
to pass on to her children that they
may continue to enjoy England's
place in the world. We can see why
England is opposing us. We can see
also why France is opposing MS" He
referred to the lands that France has
stolen from" the black man, which

terials into the Golfers Of France"
Does Not Fight Negroes.
Saying that such opposition was to
be expected, Sheriff. then passed to
the subject of the opposition found
among intellectual leaders of Negroes
in the United States. ut is not our
purpose to fight against other Negro
organizations, whether they be church
organizations or other organizations
or what not" but that whatever OBJ
stacle is found in the road Of the
U. N. /. A. will be destroyed. 1--WE
know what it is to suffer, to be ar
rested and intimidated," he said.
"They have been trying to destroy
the Association by misrepresenting
the leader Of the movement The
newspapers tried to destroy Garvey's
influence by defaming and ridiculing
him. They laughed and laughed and
poked fun at him. And the more they
laughed the closer the Negroes stuck
to the movement and the more sacri-
fees you made to put forward the
program.
Not a "Back to Africa" Movement.
"And then they tried to discourage
the osses of Negroes from joining
the anization by calling it a back
to Africa movement. They accused
us of having for our purpose destroy
ing the churches. They tried to
awaken antagonism of American Ne
groes by pointing out that Garvey is
West Indian Negro"
Here the speaker diverged to take
up the question of the leadership of
Garvey, the opposition to whom he
said was founded upon "the jealousy
of short-sighted Negroes who had
been trying for rs or 80 years to lead
the Race and have never had brains
enough to strike upon real pro-
gram"
These old leaders, he said, upon
witnessing the remarkable following
so quickly recruited by the new move
ment, threw up their hands and ex-
claimed, How dare Marcus Garvey, a
West Indian Negro, come here from
Jamaica trying to tell us American

of religion, but because the Romans
feared that he would establish king
dom on earth. Thus Garvey, who chad
the instinct for discerning what was
needed by the Race" is prosecuted.
He said Garvey had handled millions
of dollars Of the Negroes money since
he had been in this movement, and to-
day he has no home ofihis own, no au-
tomobile, no riches, but lives in an
humble fiat and rides on street cars;
and that if he had any wealth his enc
mics would have found it out
Denies New Charge.
"Yet just at the time when Negroes
are coming from all parts of the world
to this convention, certain men land
another indictment against Marcus
Garvey. They say they indict him
this time for making out a false in
come-tax return Garvey did not. But
just granting for the sake of argu-
ment that he did do it-tell me, is
Marcus Garvey then, the first man in
America to make out a false income
tax report?
Il don't believe that there has ever
been anyone else indicted on an in
come-tax report. Yet when Garvey
was arrested l went to see some Of the
officials responsible for the arrest and
one of them told me that if everybody
that made out a false income-tax re-
port were to be indicted, then all of
the federal officials would be working
overtime for the balance of a life
time.
Try to Hurt Convention.
"But why make Garvey the first
man? Because the plans were care
fully laid to embarrass this interna-
tional convention, with the hope of
embarrassing the Race. These men
and women who are fighting for the
cause of the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association, who are risking Jail
and everything else-they have no
time to bother with these annoyances.
The authorities are trying TO drag
them into court in order to keep them
from doing their work for their peo-
pie. 1t is up to you Negroes to see
that those who are prosecuted this
way receive every protection that the
Negro can give them"
A large collection for the legal de-
Tense of Garvey was raised among the
audience, who clambered forward to
the platform with many five-dollar
bills.
A resolution was passed petitioning
congress for congressional investi-
cation into the action of certain fed
eral agents believed to be involved in
the plan to fight the Negro organiza-
ton with framed-up indictments.
At last Garvey himself took the floor
to ask to be excused from making the
speech for which he was scheduled,
promising to make a full address on
the subject later during the conven-
ton.
Won't Be Frightened.
"My enemies don't seem to realize
that l can't be frightened" he said.
"All these occurrences are but natural.
They must occur from time to time,
and little things like this indictment
must be attached to the leaders Of
such movement. They can send me
to Jail. But l can go to prison with
out fear. Only crooks and thieves and
towards fear to go to prison. Men
with principles don't care about jails. 4"
