NEGRO COLONY
CONCESSION IN LIBERIA
OPPOSITION TO PROJECT
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
(Received Aug. 30, 11.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 29. The Universal Negro Improvement Association will ask the Firestone Rubber Company not to accept the millionacre concession in Liberia, which the association asserts has' been granted it for a colony. Mr Marcus Garvey, president of the association, made this statement in response to a despatch from Washington reporting opposition by the Liberian Government to the colonisation project. Mr Garvey said he thought that French and British official pressure had led the Liberian Government to retract the grants, and asserted that France and Britain did not want a negro colony near mandated African territory.—Reuter.
