the necessity of being accurate in a
letter complaining of inaccuracies. If
he had read my article coolly and not
under the influence of the professional
bolshevik-baiter who (as l happen to
know tried to excite him about it,
DIR. Dubois would have seen that
did not charge him with being 'respon-
but that l simply recorded the fact
that in public convention others
charged him with such responsibility.
In fact what l wrote was much ex-
purgated and fumigated summary of a
terrific and very detailed attack upon
DR.. Dubois which occupied several
hours altogether of the conventions
time, and which became the center of
a political controversy which could
not be described without mention of
it. What was said by the speakers
was considered by me to be so exag-
gerated that I discarded the bulk Of
it and printed nothing as an allegation
of fact that was not contained in Du-
Bots own account of his visit to Lii
IBERIA published in the April, 1924, is
sue of "The Crisis" magazine, edited
by Dubois, under Dubois own sigma
ture. l quote from that paper, pages
$50 and 251, passages from Dubois
article entitled Africa" as follows:
"As look back and recall the days
which l have called great-the occas-
ions in which l have taken part and
which have for me and others the wild
est significance, l can remember none
like the first day of January, 1924 :.
-" Continuing with a recital of
wrongs endured by Liberia at the
hands of the U. S. senate and state
department.:
1T was then that the United States
made a gesture of courtesy; little
thing, merely a gesture, but one so
fine and so unusual that it was ep-
ochal. 1t sent an American Negro to
Liberia. 1t designated him Envoy Elk
traordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary-the highest rank ever given by
any country to diplomatic agent in
black Africa. And it named this en-
voy the special representative of the
President of the United States to the
President of Liberia on the occasion
of his Inauguration, charging the en-
voy with a personal word of encour-
agement and moral support.
"It was a great and significant ar
ton. 1t had in it nothing personal.

Another appointee would have been
equally significant. Liberia recognized
the meaning. She showered upon the
envoy very mark of appreciation and
thanks. The commander Of the LII
berian frontier force was made his
special Aide and sergeant his or
derby. At 10 a. m. New Years morn
ing company of the frontier force,
in red fez and khaki presented arms
before the American legation and es-
corted Solomon Porter Hood, the Am
erican Minister Resident, and myself
as Envoy Extraordinary and my Aide
to the presidential manson-a beauti-
full white-verandahed house waving
with palms and fronting grassy
street (My emphasis.)
Dr. Dubois now writes in his letter
the emphatic sentence: 81 was not
sent to Liberia" This is in strange
contradiction to the DR.. Dubois own
above account Of the affair, in which
he wrote ut" (the United States)
"sent an American Negro" (DuBois)
ito Liberia"
Later in the same article in "The
Crisis" DR.. Dubois quotes his own
speech to the inaugural assembly as
containing these sentences:
1.-THE President of the United States
has done me the great honor of desig-
mating me his personal representative
on the occasion of your inauugura-
ton And | am sure that in
this special mark of the presidents
favor, he has had in mind the wishes
and hopes of Negro Americans
/. have now the honor, sir, to trans
NIT to you the personal word of Cal
vim Coolidge, President of the United
States of America by the hand of
Charles e. Hughes, secretary of state"
The above partially quoted editorial
is Immediately followed in DR.. Du-
Bots paper with an item headed "A
Despatch" which is dated Monrovia,
Liberia, Feb. 8, 1924, and which reads:

Buffers Limited"
After seeing all of the above pas
sages printed in a paper edited by
DIR. Dubois, did not feel justified in
suppressing the fact that in a big
public convention for several days a
Juror of excitement eentered around
the charge (made by participants of
the convention-not by myself that
DR.. Dubois became an instrument
for inducing the Liberian govern
ment to declare that no vises would
be granted the members of Garvey's
organization" and that such, action
was, according to the charge, useful
to the Great Powers which I took the
liberty of calling 'imperialist powers"
Unfortunately, at about this time,
famous photograph was published
in the capitalist press, showing va
cation party composed of Calvin
Coolidge, Harvey Firestone, Thomas
Edison and another member of the
Firestone family; and this was shortly
followed by the announcement that
certain large concessions of rubber
and mineral territory which the Ne
gro organization claimed had been
granted it, for cooperative exploita-
ton, had been cancelled or ignored by
the Liberian government, and that an
enormous concession covering prac-
tically the same territory had been
granted to the American capitalist,
Coolidge's friend, Harvey Firestone.

enemies as a basis for long, and Wit
rolic denunciations. l am glad that
DR.. Dubois denies absolutely having
any hand in the policy of the United
States government toward Liberia, as
l am sure that the granting of the
alleged Firestone concession in Lii.
IBERIA (if it occurred) will be the open
ing of sad chapter in the history
of the little Negro republic.

Dubois should have allowed himself

who is not fit to tie the shoestring of
an honest Negro workingman or intel
lectual leader. 1t is unfortunate if
true that Dubois told the Liberians
that they were receiving special
mark of the presidents favor" at
just the moment when COolidge's
friend, Harry Firestone, was trying
thru Coolidges minister, Solomon
Porter Hood, to obtain monster con-
cession for the exploitation of Liber-
ian labor and the consequent newt
able subjugation of Liberia to imper-
ialist rule.
Since the question is raised, think
it would have been "fine and un-
usual" gestnure if Dubois had ans
wered Coolidge's insulting offer by
refusing the honor of representing
the United States government. 1t
would have been fine and unusual
if Dubois had seized the opportunity
to warn the people of Liberia just
what fate awaits little Negro repub-
lies such as Haiti and Liberia that
receive special mark of the presi.
dents favor" and the introduction of
American imperialist exploitation.
When Negro leaders accept hon
ors" and courtesy appointments"
which require them to tell oppressed
Negro peoples that they are receiving
special marks of favor" from pow
ers interested only in their subjuga-
ton, they must expect the conse-
quences. 1t is an old story. That
DR.. Dubois let himself be put in this
position is especially regrettable be-
cause he has a reputation in the pub
lie mind of having fought consis-
tently and bravely in the past years
for the equality of the Negro polite
ally, socially and in industry 1t is
even said that he more than most
Negro leaders has in the past endeav-
ored to give the Negro the only key
by which such emancipation can be
obtained-class-c conscious action as a
part of the working class. 1t is a pity
that he has in this instance put him
self into a light of unfavorable con-
trast to Marcus Garvey as far as this
incident alone is concerned. Garvey
fawns before the caste system and
grovels before the big capitalist mas
tiers to whom he offers to trade the
Negroes right to equality in exchange
for moral or other support, "a thing
for which Dubois very admirably de-
nounces him.-ROBERT MINOR.

BRITISH MEMBER

TALKS IN MOSCOW
Kamenef and Chicherin
Laud Treaty
(speeIaI to The Daily WORKED

4
MOSCOW, Aug. 20. (by mail) At q
plenary session of the Moscow Soviet,
Messrs Chicherin, Rakovsky, .Kamen.
eff made speeches on the Anglo-Soviet
treaty. The assembly welcomed with
loud applause Mrs. Susannah Laurens,
member of British parliament. and
member of the executive of the Brit
ish Labor Party who was introduced
by Mr.. Kameneff and who in her
speech pointed out the part played
by British labor in the completion of
the treaty.
Mr.. Rakovsky made comprehensive
report of all the Anglo-Soviet negotia-
lions and laid down the contents of
the treaty itself. Passages of his
speech, in which the Soviet chief del
egate at London put stress on the pos
ition of principle which the Soviet
government had taken up to defend
the revolutionary gains in the ques-
] ton of debts, were repeatedly met
with loud applause and ovations-in
particular, the following statement:
They are mistaken who believe the
Soviet power can force the million
masses of peasants to pay for the
debts of hated Czarism; the Soviet
power leans on the revolutionary con-
science of the toilers of the Union of
Soviet Republics, and it would cease
to be power if it would disown its
revolutionary origin. We are firmly
convinced. concludes Mr.. Rakovsky,
that the London treaty will be ratified
by British parliament.
international Recognition.
Mr.. Chicherin, peoples commissary
of foreign affairs, calls the treaty an
international recognition, attained af-
ter seven years, of the October revolu-
ton as the basis of the Soviet state.
If Mr.. Lloyd George called the trade
agreement of 1921 an armistice, the
actual general treaty is the first final
treaty of peace.
Mr.. Chicherin further states that by
this treaty the Union of Soviet Social.
list Republics obtains advantages
greater than the sacrifices made. Re-
calling the Genoa and the Hague con-
ferences, the speaker remarks that
the necessity of reaching an agree
ment with the Soviet was dictated by
hard, real facts and the economic
crisis in the largest countries. The
policy of making the Bolsheviks tame
thru trade" has failed. Indeed, the
Anglo-Soviet treaty is the result of
five-year-long peaceful duel between
the Soviet Republics and the capital
istic states, in result of which the So
Wet Union is rapidly reviving econ
omically and growing stronger under
the eyes of all the world.

A special meeting of the Execu-

Educational League in the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, which
was we'll attended by delegates of
the largest locals In the City Of New
York, has decided on campaign to
repudiate the action of the general
executive board in its endorsement
of LaFolIette. This action Of the
general executive was a violation
of the decision made at the last con-
vention of the Amalgamated for In

action.
The shop collections drive Of the
Workers Party campaign committee
was heartily endorsed. A campaign
committee of five was elected to
carry out this work in the Anal
gamated. The committee immedi-
ately took large number Of SUBJ

Plans were worked out for drawing
the entire left membership in the
various locals into the work.
