of the sort of propaganda which Mr.,
Garvey is sending out to Write people.
was merely informing colored citizens
This propaganda includes agitation OF
the social equality DOGGY and attacks
upon other groups, incidentally the NJ
A. A. G. P. which Mr.. Garvey accuses
of advocating race intermarriage.
Furthermore, the documents Marcus
Garvey is writing and sending out to
white people represent large groups of
American Negroes as being willing tJ
forfeit their citizenship rights in favor
of an African state which exists in
MI. Garvey's Imagination. We have no
objection to Mr.. Garvey's going to Afri
ca if hei can get there and taking as
many people as care to accompany him.
But there is the most emphatic object
ion to his spreading the impress on
among white people that any consider
able body of American colored people
would be willing to abdicate their con-
stitutional rights and privileges IN
favor uf his migration scheme. Certain
~ this propaganda of Mr.. Garvey can
not by any stretch of the imagination
be taken as encouraging race pride.
RATHER. it hurniliates r'iorld people in
til at it encCul ages white people in
America ID believe that large MURDERS
of Negroes willingly will endure dis
elimination and disabilities since they
are only a temporary element in the
citizenry.
In calling the nature Of Mr.. Garvey's
propaganda among white people to the
attention of colored editors and read
ers, the N. A. A. C. P. was merely do
ing what it conceived to be its duty in
protecting colored Americans from mis-
representation of their opinions, be-
liefs and ideals. In the documents OF
Mr.. Garvey written for and sent to
white people, from which the N. A. A.
C. p, published quotations after many
protests had been received from colored
people, Mr.. Carney not only urged a
migration Of colored people to Africa,
but he justified that migration to white
people and urged them to support it on
the ground that the white people would
thereby be relieved from the necessity
of according colored people their consti
tutional rights and privileges in the
United States.
Under the circumstances the N. A. A.
G. p, felt itself in duty bound not to
'let Marcus Garvey alone"
Yours very truly,
JAMES WELDON JOHNSON,
Secretary.

Science

Nothing has more greatly in
terested man than his dreams. From
the earliest times. persons who pre-
tended they could interpret dreams
have had large following. Many
volumes have been written on the
subject, from scientific works down
TO the dream books" where. for 10
cents. d person could find out what
his dreams meant. Even recently
an added impetus has been given to
dream TRANSACTIONS through Freud
ism and psycho-analysis.
Superstition is more powerful in
the field Of dreams than anywhere
else. Nevertheless. dreams are all
explainable through common sense
and science. All the evidence shows
that dreams are due to external and
physical causes. Certain Illnesses

are disagreeable or terrifying. A

an event or that tells the sleeper of
an event occurring miles away.
