Could be, but the Party was established by Dr David Pitt (Lord Pitt as he
was to become) in 1943, after Garvey was dead.
Could Pitt have organised a WI National Association which became the
organisation which foreshadowed and established the Party? Let me see if I
can find out what David Pitt was doing during his time at Edinburgh
1933-1938. According to Mike Phillips in his ODNB article, Pitt was elected
First Junior Vice-President of the Students' Representative Council at
Edinburgh. But I haven't so far encountered a WI National Association
anywhere at all.

Marika and Peter,
Would that be an extension of the West Indian National Party?

I'm getting zero results from the usual sources. Can you give any
information on the context in which you came across this? Was it based in
Britain? Who might have been associated with it? It sounds like an ex-pat
organisation. Any more that you can tell us might help.
All best

Has anyone heard of this Supposedly existed sometime in the mid-late
1930s. I'd be grateful for any info.
Thanks.
