Garvey'S SeIl-Out
In Jamaica Helping to
Dispose Properties
By HERBERT BARNEs.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, B.WI., Mar,
24.-Within the next 80 days, Marcus
Carney shall have retired to private
life" after having amassed huge
fortune out of the misery and mis-
placed hopes Of the Negro masses.
Carney plans to take up his residence
in continental Europe.
He has sold out nearly all the prop
erty Of the Universal Negro Improve
ment Association, including its head
quarters and the Blackman Publish
ing Company, which he had techni-
cally purchased" in his name over
the angry protests of his followers.
The climax to a long period Of
squabbling and dissatisfaction came
when Garvey was called upon to give
financial statement of the organ
ization and the properties under his
control. The deputation Of workers
making the demand was damned by
Carney, who unceremoniously walked
out Of the room, Madame M. L. L
De Mena, Garvey's chief lieutenant
in the United States, is now in ia

the peoples property without Their
consent.
In addition to the monies being
raised by Carney through the sale
Of UNA properties, the several hun
dred thousands of dollars which he
has collected ON the fantastic drive
for six hundred million dollars, will
also go toward swelling the huge pri-
vate fortune he has amassed out OF
the sweat and blood of his followers.
Under the pretense Of "exerting
pressure" on the British slave drivers,
Garvey will at first divide his resi-
dence between England and France!
AS soon, however, as his followers
quiet down he will remove to the
warmer climate Of France, there to

dollars from his followers and has
sent out instructions to the divisions
to exact an affilliation tax from each
member. This tax is to be sent to
commissioner who is to be respon-
sible to Garvey,
In view Of the anger and disgust
of his followers, however, Carney has
not much hope that this latest OF
his schemes will bring in a substantial
amount. The move is made more in
an effort to convince his followers
that he has not completely abandoned
them, even though he has sold and
collected ON their properties.

Gandh1s authority and douptS Can
dhi's success.
The execution of the three Indian
revolutionists, on a deliberate polit-
ical frame-up, at the orders of the
labor government, shows the lengths
to which the Macdonald regime will
go to save British imperialism in
India. The Macdonald government,
which weeps bitter tears over the
trial of the counter-revolutionary
Mensheviks in the Soviet Union who
received splendid treatment although
they plotted for war against the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union, deliberately fosters the most
brutal fortunes against Indian revo-
lutionarieS.
The three executed Indian revolu-
tionists were arrested on the charge
of setting off a bomb last April, as
well as for the murder Of Lieuten-
ant Saunders, police official, who
had beaten thousands and killed
many Indian workers.
Against the suspects arrested, the
labor government vented its wrath
and hate. All of the prisoners were
beaten and tortured through special
methods invented by the British i'm
perialists and the labor admins
traitors. Jatin Das, one of the &C.
eused, who died before he could be
executed, was tortured for SO days.
He was paralyzed and blinded by the
| torture. His blood circulation had
stopped except around his heart. His
body was reduced to 10 pounds at
his death. His funeral was attended
by $4,000 bearing slogans and BAN
ners saying: Long Live the Revolu-
tion," and Down With Imperial
ISM"
The other prisoners were all tor
tured and beaten repeatedly. They
were handcuffed and flogged by the
"civilizers' of the British labor gov
ernment. One Indian paper describes
the fortunes as follows:
Each prisoner was assaulted by
at least 20 to rs policemen, the
methods Of assault being most in
human" THE actual details are
unprintable.) Zone method en-
ployed was the penetration of the
fingers into the rectum and kick
ing the private parts. The assault
continued for more than one hour,
after which five prisoners got
fever; all others had acute pains

Deportation and restriction Of i'm
migration Is something that is only
55-years old in this country. Prior
to 1875, that is 55-years ago, there
were no deportations from this coun-
try. The immigrants from the coun-
tries Of the world were received with
open arms in the United States, be-
cause the ruling class at that time
needed them to develop the tremen-
douS natural resources; to build the
foundation of super-structure of the
capitalist social order.
But in 1875, they began to develop
restrictions against immigration, and
the deportation Of undesirable i'm
migrants"
We find that in 1875, and ever
since, the list of undesirable ele-
ments" has gradually increased. And
recently, deportation of ''undesir-
ables" became mass deportation and

Daily Worker:
At the Morey, La Rue Laundry Co.,
a worker was fired yesterday because
he had been i'll and had stayed out
day. This worker had shaved here
year and half, and had used her
small wage to support her family,
since her father had been unemployed
for many months.
The conditions in this plant were
never any good, but they are getting
worse and worse. The proverbial
speed-up is here. Bosses demanded
previously from 40 to so curtains
daily, now they raised the demand to
