ney, and other -people of national reputation.
; '
There are so many absurd-statesmcnts
in Mr. Yann's tissue of lies
that I can not evgn discus them all.
When he says iq_his article that the
,.N. A. f. jsmame*' and j
In. his editorial refers to its "expen???sivo
and palatial offices on Fifth" Ave- H
nue." there is at least, a contradiction _
in the facts as presented by Mr. Vann
himself.' ' v"*r7'
as to salaries received by executives
of the N. A. A. C. P., and quoting
erroneous figures, at that, is indicative
of the spirit of his entire artied
and endorsed by the National Hiding
house with headquarters in New
York, whose verdict is certainly more
authoritive than the verdiet of Mr.
r Vann. ,.
Ag _tg Mr. Yarin's exclamation a- _
gainst the amount of money donated
I .by the Garland Fund to tire N. A. A.
C. P., one reason why the N. A. A. 0.
P. received $2G,552.80, t which is the
total amount received for tbp T.g>gnl
? .Jefense Fund from the Garland F'utid-is
that when the Negroes in this coun- *
try were appalled at the crisis con
fronting the 3vveet family ana ttteir"
friends, the Garlafid Fund, realizing
that this was one of the ornoUl cagpc
involving the protection of minority
- -rights, stepped in within initial nffer
of $5,000 outright and in .addition
offered one dollar for every twp
dollars raised by the N- A. A: f_pJ
? for the Legal Defense Fund. The total
amount thus given for Legal De.fcnse
by the. GarlancFFund-was de
terTmned by colored people them- .
raised money to meet -the Garland
Fundg offer.
_,As for the ^statement that the
Sweet defense was used as an^jexcuse
for the gathering funds: The N.
A. A. CL P,publicly....in. its?initial.press
release of October 29, 1925, and
repeatedly thereafter, in releases sent
to the Courier in Pittsburgh as well
as to the other colored papers of the_,
country, explicitly announced that in ^
had in mind not alone the Sweet defense
but "other cases involving the
rights of the Negro. This every colnred
editor in the eountry, lncttfding ~
Mr. Vann knows. Far from concealing
its Purpose the"frT. A. A. A. 5. P. r'
proclaimed it, and here again Mr.
Vann is guilty of deliberate missstatement.
