NEGRO REPUBLIC
PROPOSED.
A
Jamaican
negro,
Marvey,
is
trying
to
get
his
race
on
this
side
of
the
water
to return
to
Africa,
overthrow
ing
the
Governments
of
the
whites
and
establish
a
black
- empire.
He
indeed
has
a
vivid
imagination,
and
seems
to over ook
the
important
matter
of offering
any
real
inducement.
The
peoples of the world
are
so mixed up that
to
unscramble
them
would
be
a job fit
for Hercules
and the League
of Nations
coicbined.
C. H.
Andersen,
a
Govern-
ment official in New York wheo is a negro,
hits the nail on the head
when
he
com-
ments: ''As to our migration
to
Africa,
let
me say
that when all
the
English
in
this
country
voluntarily
return
to
the
banks
of the Thames
and all the
Irish
go
back
to the shores
of the Shannon
¢ when
the
Germans
return
to
the
Rhine
and
the French
to the Rhone* when the Itali-
ans
seek
the
Tiber,
the
Russians
the
Neva and the Volga! and all
the
Jews
once
more
take their
stand
on
Jordan’s
stormy
banks,
then, and
not
till
then,
will we considera return
to
the
fever-
stricken
banks
of
the
dreamy
Niger.
Even then, like the
prophet
of old,
we
will probably
have
to
be
translated
in
a fiery chariot.”—THE
