DETROIT, March % - The nakeo
sight Of what the PHILOSOPHY Of
Marcus Carney" really means in prae
tiee, made the hundred or more dele
gates at the convention Of the Uni
versaI Negro Improvement Assoeia-
ton gasp and squirm in their seats
here Monday afternoon, when the con-
vention was asked to swallow with
one guIp the entire anti-Negro pro-
gram recently drawn up by the white
aristocrats of the "Nordic Club" of
Richmond, Va, calling for the whole
sale deportation of American Negroes
from the United States. One impas-
stoned protest from a delegate from
Cincinnati held the house electrified
for a few brief moments, and then
debate was shut off and the resolu-
ton, which is typical of the program
for niggers" that would be eoncocted
by the average backward Southern
white landlord was carried without a
contrary vote by this Negro conven-
ton which is plainly being choked to
death by the influence of the ku klux
khan, working thru Marcus Garvey.
Makes Emotional Appeal.
The action occurred on a motion by
Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, wife of
the imprisoned president-general, who
said that it was the request of the
Honorable Marcus Garvey," and that
she wanted it to go thru without any
objection, as she was sure that would
please Mr. Garyey.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the plan originated in ku klux khan
SURROUNDINGS and It is traced directly
Ito white members of a "Nordic Club"
OF Richmond, Va. That the scheme is
a hare-brained swindle that could
never be carried thru on its face, in
addition to being the most vicious
attack upon the entire Negro people,
goes without saying.
To Work for Deportation.
Under the terms of the resolution
as passed, every division of Universal
Negro improvement Association will
be ordered Immediately to get its
members busy circulating a petition
to every state legislature, asking that
each state legislature appeal to the
United States government to deport
Ii. e. "colonize") the American Negro
population with their consent" to
Africa, Haiti, San Domingo, or some
other foreign country to be chosen by
the United States government.
When the resolution was read, the
amazement on the faces Of delegates
who had no forewarning of this last
shot of Garveyism, was plain.
After Mrs. Garvey's sentimental plea
that the plan be endorsed Samuel A.
Haynes, the Garvey leader of Pitts
burg, made a pre-arranged speech, say
ing he had recently been in Virginia
where he had conversed with two
white gentlemen" who were respon-
sible for presenting the measure 10
the Virginia state legislature. Haynes
declared that the plan originated with
white people who had no interest in
the Negro people except to bring
about separation of the races"
AT this point a Mr. Stowe. the dele
gate from Cincinnati, arose and asked
with strained voice:
Voice Objection.
"Mr. Speaker, | do not understand.
win you kindly tell mel understand
that this resolution uses the term
colonization this mean that we
are to be sent out in colonies? AS
