and the West Indies. We further
pointed out that were he to establish
& black empire in Africa it would
be a prototype of white capitalist
imperialism in its most crude and
ruthless form for suppressing the
Negro peasants and workers who
would be forced to revolt from the
oppression of black capitalists.
In 1927. after 4 Jail sentence for
using the U. S. mails to defraud,
he was deported back to his home
land in Jamaica. In 1923 he made
q trip to Europe, where he pleaded
to the League of Nations and the
various capitalistic nations of Eu-
rope asking for their cooperation
in establishing a Negro republic in
Africa. After returning to Canada
he was, through the influence of
Great Britain, forcibly deported
back to the island.
With his expulsion from Canada
he was forced to give up the idea of
having his international nvcntiou
held in Canada and changed his
plans of convention to the West
Indies. The Communist Party, while
opposing his deportation by these
imperialist powers, exposed his de-
sertion of the struggle of the OPP
pressed Negro workers and pea
SAINTS.
Fears to Lose Control.
Garvey, no LONGER in the center,
became jealous of the strength of
the U. N. I. A. and feared that this
organization, for years under his
leadership, might now fall into
hands, as has been seen. not willing
to carry out his vague and bolster
GUS cry of Back to Africa" but
while fighting to free Africa from
imperialist subjugation, would re-
orientate the organization for a
fight against lynching, jim crow
ism, etc, in the United States.
This would mean blow to his
nrctensions. As a result he is wag-
ing fractional campaign of split
ting the movement into groups so
that he may yet maintain his Sill
premacy. On June %, these fac
tional groups precipitated riot at
their ball in New York City, be-
tween the Garvey Club of the U. N.
I. A, which is the Garvey clique
With a second rate leadership,
against the older leaders of the u.
N. I. A.
Garvey's activities in the West
Indies constitute one of the most
shameful betrayals of the Negro
race.
Flirts With Imperialism.
1t is indeed quite interesting to
see just how far Garvey will go in
flirting with American imperialism
in the West Indies against British
imperialism. Undoubtedly Garvey
will be supported by American i'm
perialism in the West Indies as well
as in South America in trying to
win the confidence of the bloody ter
ror of Yankee dollar imperialism.
We know from experience the
,nilitancy that has been shown by
The workers and farmers in fight
ing for better economic and social
conditions and that they will not
permit themselves to be hoodwinked
into supporting Garvey's policy of
an alliance with white imperialism
which can only mean further sub
jugation for the natives.
Vicious, Anti-Labor.
Already We are keenly observing
his maneuver of betrayal in Jamaica.
When the laborers of the United
Fruit Company went on strike
against low wages and marched to
the Garvey headquarters to ask him
to speak for them, he told the rep
resentative of the company, as re-
ported in his daily organ, 1.-THE
Blackman," of May 80, 1929: "There
should be no unreasonable demand
on either side, because capital has
to bring it's redress, and labor should
get its share. I am capitalist my
self and | would not pay lshorers
more than they should get. You
are not the only one that employs
laborers."
We are able to see clearly in
This most brazen declaration what
