No. 26 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is my duty once more to write to you asking your cooperation in the great work we have started in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League. Reports from all parts of the Western World reveal the fact that thousands of our men are out of employment. My personal experience through my travels reveals to me that thousands are in desperate need. Thousands have been thrown out of employment through the great industrial setback that is now sweeping the entire world. If you will remember, for over four years I preached the doctrine of preparedness among the Negro peoples of the world. I pointed out to them that the time of reaction industrially, and economically, would come. That it was necessary for them then to save and conserve every bit of surplus cash worked for and invest a part of same in responsible and well-meaning Negro corporations like the Black Star Line, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as out of these organizations would come the salvation of the Negro during the time of the present industrial setback. Very few Negroes heeded the plea, whilst men in America and other parts of this Western Hemisphere earned $100 every week as skilled and unskilled workers and laborers. The majority reported at the highest, indulged in pastimes that were unnecessary, and the full one hundred per cent of the money earned was spent in riotous living. No preparation was made for the rainy day, everybody believing that every day would be a day of harvest. I preached, and preached the doctrine of preparedness all over the United States of America. My utterances were published in the columns of the Negro World, so that those who did not hear, at least read what I had to say, and now we are confronted with the terrible reaction. What are we going to do? Should we fold our arms and sit down NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 DES SAVE THE People of America, Can West Indies to Put Their Mines—Invest Your Money Now ine Before it Becomes too in this condition? Are we waiting or some imaginary saviour to come and relieve the situation? Are we waiting for some spiritual being to help us? We will wait until doomsday, and the miracle will not be performed. You must now be up and doing, having a heart for any fate. By your own actions, if initiated now, shall we be saved the fate of threatened disaster. Whilst conditions are and among a large number of our race, yet through unity in America, the West Indies, Central America and Canada, we who are employed can do something worthy of the name of the race, through which we can ward off universal want within our ranks. Whilst you did not heed my pleadings of years ago to help organizations like the Black Star Line, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am now repeating my plea. Whatsoever you can do, do it now. You men of the Negro race who have $1,000, invest at least $500 in the Black Star Line now, and right now, and help us to buy more ships, so that we can transport the unemployed from this Western Hemisphere to Africa. Keep the $1,000 for another twelve months, then at the end of that time you will find yourself as penniless as the man who was unemployed; and then neither of you will be able to help the other. You men who have $500, invest $250 in the Black Star Line, and if you have $100, invest $50 now. If every man and woman of the Negro race does this in the next thirty days, the $10,000,000 capital of the Black Star Line will be subscribed. The corporation will be able to buy bigger ships, and more ships, and then we will be able to transport from this Western Hemisphere at least 3,000 men every week for work in Africa, and thus relieve the stagnation of unemployment among Negroes in this hemisphere. Men if you do not see and hear, it is not the fault of Marcus Garvey. He has been telling you for over four years to prepare. It is not an alarmist cry. It is the handwriting on the wall. Remember, men and women of the Negro race, this is no sentimental age; this is a practical, material, soulless age SUBSCRIBER? from your dealer each week?

How long will Negroes sit down idly, waiting for some one to do something for them? How long will Negroes depend upon chance as a guiding star in their economic horizon? A man's bread and butter is only insured when that man works for it. Men work out their own energies and not out others do not, because when the time for others those who do for them takes place, they may find unemployed—not doing anything—not having to perform, as is the case to-day: Let this message down into the heart of each and every Negro be arguing. It is no use contending. That would be duplication. You have to be up and doing. It is not a question of, where the man comes from. It is not a question of, what is the complexion of his skin. It is not a question of, he is too radical. It is not a question, what faith he is connected with. It is a question that Negroes are about to face a crisis, and anything that Negroes can do to save themselves must be done now.

"CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL." CONSISTENCY, Thou Art a Jewel," is one of the phrases which has been glibly repeated without men realizing its full import. A jewel is a very rare and costly article. A brilliant stone of small size, which will scintillate when the rays of the sun or artificial light strikes it, will bring thousands of dollars to a small fortune to the lucky finder of it. And when the thinker defined the phrase, "Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel," he meant that consistency" was as rare and priceless as "a jewel of purest ray arene." These reflections were suggested by an elaborate article by Arthur Pound on "What Are We Going to Do With the Black Man—A Frank Discussion of the Eternally Perplexing Negro Problem Which Has Wrinkled the Brow of Uncle Sam for Many Generations." This article appeared in Flint Saturday Night, a Western weekly magazine, on January 29, 1921. It takes up over two columns. But for lack of space we would gladly reprint this splendid article in full in the Negro World, for it is actually what it claims to be—"A Frank Discussion of the Eternally Perplexing Negro Problem."

In his diagnosis of the American race problem Mr. Pound is seen, penetrating and unerring. But when he comes to the solution of the perplexed problem he seems to be somewhat baffled and perplexed. He recognizes that the North has acquiesced and is likely a sequence in the South's defiance of the constitution and determination to maintain white supremacy. He sees a difficulty in Booker Washington's philosophy, "When we are in the world economically, then the world will find it difficult to keep us down politically and socially." Mr. Pound asks, "But suppose that Negro prosperity merely increased Negro power without winning for that power an outlet in channels open to the poorest white citizen? Would the Negro be satisfied with that arrangement, and would the white man?" Ah! That was the fly is the ointment of Dr. Booker T. Washington's optimism and roseate picture of the Black Man's future in America. But the reader is naturally interested in the final conclusion. And this is Mr. Pound's final summing up. He thus concludes his suggestive article: "If our black comrade on the American Ship of ships cannot be treated as a citizen vested with the full power of citizenship, then the only way to keep him from desiring to seattle his ship is to treat him as a human being whose assistance we need. That ought not to be too difficult for the men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and ratified the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States." But we are interested most in the psychological insight revealed in book. And that gives us our text, "Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel." Mr. Pound clearly recognizes that dread of intermarriage of the black and white races and a revulsion to absorbing the Negro race in America masse is at the root of jim crowism, segregation, disfranchisement, social ostracism of the Negro in America and the stirring of him from lucrative employment. He does not go deeply into the ethics of preventing a human being from developing as a spiritual being and advancing in life, for fear that if he becomes intelligent mainly and self-respecting and "gets up in the world," your conscience will desire to marry him. And just here the "Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel," idea comes Mr. Pound says: "Public opinion here is dead set against mixed black and white. This opinion is based upon something deeper than it cannot be argued away, and must be accepted as one of the fundamental facts in the case." But if this be true, how are there two million mulattoes in America, over a quarter of a million questionnaires, about a quarter of a million octoroons and hundreds of Negroes in America with from one-fourth to two-fourth of the American blood coursing through their veins? two columns Mr. Pound speaks of the Negro's history in war and peace, the enthusiasm with which he instigated American civilization and his patience and forbearance under suffering and unjust discrimination.

Victor three centuries the Anglo-Saxon has been preaching ATURD the doctrine of purity of race and yet he has been mingling his blood with all of the darker races of the world. Our correspondent from Nigeria writes that some of the European officials segregate black men in the day time and keep tryats with black women at night, thus it has been for over three centuries. Stripped of its redundant verbiage, this only means that the Lancastrian male is determined to keep his women to himself and at the same time frequently claims the divine right and sacred privilege of taking and appropriating the women of the darker races. And this is the thing that irritates the manhood of the darker races. And the section of America south of Mason and Dixon's line, which goes into hysteria about the legal mixing of black and white, is the very section which has witnessed the abundant mixing during slavery days and sometimes witnesses the illegal and clandestine mixing now. "Consistency, Thon Art a Jewel." The Anglo-Saxon may not know it, but he is on trial before the bar of civilization. His professions and actions are keenly watched by the other European nations, by Latin-America, Asia and Africa. The traditions of English law and justice and American democracy and freedom have given the Anglo-Saxon a prestige and moral ascendancy in the world, which far exceeds his military achievements. But just now England's treatment of Ireland, West Africa, South Africa, Egypt and India, and America's treatment of her black citizens, especially in the Southern States, has caused the world to ask, "Where is the English law and justice and American democracy and freedom?" which have been extolled in the songs, "God Save the King" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee?"

Is America still "The land of the free and the home of the brave?" The world war has shown how little the civilization of Christian Europe has advanced beyond the civilization of pagan Rome. And it is up to America to determine whether the predictions of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg speech were the misty vaporings of a rapt poet or the prophetic vision of a practical statesman. "Can the idealism of Jesus of Nazareth be translated into actual deeds?" is the question the modern world must answer. "Is the freedom and the justice of the Declaration of Independence a myth? Is the democracy of Abe Lincoln's Gettysburg speech an iridescent dream and rainbow vision? Is his talk of "a government of the people, by the people and for the people" a wild dream of the imagination, a utopian desire? are questions which the white, yellow, brown and black worlds are expecting America to answer. Mr Pound intimates that the instinct of race "is based upon something deeper than reason." Whenever any attitude of the mind, any color prejudice or caste proscription cannot be justified at the bar of reason, an attempt is made to justify it before the bar of conscience by calling it instinctive. A discussion of this subject will involve psychological considerations which we will take up next week, when we will survey the respective claims of reason and instinct. Meanwhile, though we cannot agree with everything that Mr Pound says, we appreciate his frank and fair presentation of a delicate subject. W. H. F. "WHAT THE LOBSTER TEACHES." THE lobster is not a very handsome animal. But if you eat a lobster salad when your stomach is not overloaded and when the lobster is fresh your gustatory nerves will enjoy a pleasant thrill. and you will experience no after effects. If, on the other hand, you partake of that delicious bit of food when your digestive apparatus has plenty of work to do, you may experience it as known as nightmare. While if you eat stale lobster, you will experience what is called acute indigestion and may get ptomaine poisoning. So the word lobster may conjure up pleasant or unpleasant memories in your mind. It all depends upon your physical state and the state of the lobster, when you endeavor to appropriate him as an article of food. These reflections were caused by seeing an editorial note entitled, "Don't Be a Lobster," in the Thrift Magazine. The phrase "He is a regular lobster" is commonly used in daily speech. It usually means that a man is unreasonably cross, disagreeable, gloomy, obstinate, stubborn or cranky. When you call a man "a lobster," it does not mean that he has necessarily a bad heart, but that you can't reason with him or do anything with him and hence give him up as a hopeless case. If you happen to put your hand in a basket of live, kicking lobsters, you will understand why people in disgust will refer to a man as a lobster. You will find that your hand is uncomfortably imprisoned in one of the lobster's claws and that he will not let go. It matters not what your motives are for diving your hand in the lobster's basket. You may put your hand in accidentally. You may intend to put the lobster in a more comfortable position, or you may desire to inspect him before buying. The lobster will not reason about the whys and wherefores. He will blindly and instinctively grab and clutch and he will hold on. So usually when you refer to a man as a regular lobster, you refer to some such unpleasant experience as we have just mentioned. But the writer in Thrift's Magazine does not mean this. He has in mind a psychic characteristic of the lobster. and you will experience no after effects.

Under the caption "Don't be a Lobster," he says: "We frequently hear used in a slang way, 'he is a regular lobster,' Now, there may be more truth than slang in the expression, because there are a lot of human lobsters in the world. A lobster, when left high and dry among the rocks, has not enough energy to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the tide to bring the sea to him. If it does not come, he stays right where he is and dies, too lazy to put forth any effort himself." "We frequently hear used in a slang way, 'he is a regular lobster.'

Instead of putting forth their own energies they are waiting for some grand friendly billow of good fortune to set them afloat." There is food for thought in this statement. There are two classes of men in the world, those who expect some happy turn of fortune to land them in clover, and those who go out and take the initiative. The old Negro, and by old we do not mean old in years, but old in attitude of mind, waited for something to turn up. The Negro is endeavoring to turn up things himself. The old Negro prayed to the Lord to deliver him the good things of life. The new Negro may pray but he also goes out and endeavors to bring things to pass. The old Negro complained because white men would not land him in a soft snap job and open up opportunities for him. The new Negro creates jobs for himself and opens up opportunities for himself. The advice, "Don't be a lobster" is sound advice. "Many men are stranded on the rocks of business.

AN elaborate article in the New York Times on Saturday, February 5, had as headlines "Hays Names Committee to Find Solution of Negro Problem in the Party." It also stated that drastic changes were expected and that members will report a scheme for reapportionment of delegates to conventions. This impresses us as grasping at the shadow and missing the substance, as saving at the spigot and losing at the bung hole.

This impresses us as grasping at the shadow and missing the substance, as saving at the spigot and losing at the bung hole. It is very well "to adopt a just and equitable basis of representation in future national conventions," but why not "adopt a just and equitable basis of representation in the House of Representatives and the electoral college? They involve the enforcement of a provision of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution which provide that when voters are disranchised the representation in the lower branch of Congress and in the electoral college shall be proportionately reduced. At present several Southern States which have disfranchised the Negro have twice as many representatives in the House of Representatives and in the electoral college as they are legally and morally entitled to. If Southern States can have twice their quota of representatives in Congress and the electoral college, we see no crime in their having twice their quota in Republican national conventions. If any reconstruction is contemplated, why not lay the ax at the root of the whole trouble, at Southern Congressmen and electors representing voters who have been disfranchised and yet at the same time counted in as a basis of representation?

CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE norance of Barbados when he says that the hotels are called ice houses. All hotels are known for names, as the "Crane." There is also the Ice House Hotel, named so because it makes ice hotels own uses. Ice can be obtained at any of the many ice shops in the towns, and also in some country districts. If your correspondent had sought honest information he would have learned that there is the Advocate, Reporter, Standard, Globe, Times, Illustrated and Official Gazette. Not one newspaper, as he has tried to make the American people believe. And if your camera man wanted to give the American people an idea of the average Barbados black he could have shown that in these newspaper offices from editor to wash-up man is a "black." To the Editor of The Negro World: Dear Sir:—The two articles on Barbados by Louis Selbold which were printed in the New York World on Sunday and Monday are grossly exaggerated, misleading and to a great extent untrue. Especially so in the description of its "blacks." Like every white American writer, Mr. Selbold runs true to form. When writing about black people they pick out the few that are least fortunate or most degraded and elaborate on them as the "blacks." If a stranger had visited New York for the first time and had gone no further than the waterfront and the lower east side he would have done no greater justice in describing New York and its people than Mr. Selbold has done in describing Barbados and its people. Unless Mr. Sibold went among the few low and immoral, who are to be found in every community, he would not have said that the blacks never saw cornsite except perhaps in stores, for the porcelain black has a certain amount of pride that is not to be found in many of the whites of the U. B. A. They do not go so without cornsite even in their homes. The majority of musicians in Barbados are blacks. They seem to have a natural gift for music. They play all kinds of musical instruments. The majority of the church organists are blacks. There are many bands like the police band. Not what your picture impresses on the minds of the people as a Barbados jazza band. Among the many false statements about the blacks are the following:— "In the main they are unutured." "They are uniformly black." "Their customs are mainly those of Africans of primitive type." "They live in little shacks of mud or wood." "They sleep in shacks thrown together and very much crowded." "The hotels are called ice houses because they are the only places where ice can be obtained." "They never see corns except perhaps in the stores." "There is only one newspaper, the "Advocate." Mr Sethold save there is no color question, that the black knows his place does not care what you call him and is satisfied. There have been rioters in Bathbados and every other island in the West Indies. A saddened people does not riot. If he thinks that they do not care what they are called he could have called them niggers, as his Southern friends do here, and the sticks of those blacks would have left an indolible impression on his back and mind. Of course there is no color question. The whites have been too shrewd to seek trouble. It has been bad for the blacks that the color question has not arisen or they would have awakened long ago to their great strength and power. Many of them are mercilessly exploited because of the rotten political system, and because British aristocracy outrages the higher educated black from his less fortunate brethren, and because the Anglican Church, which is born on prejudice and reared on descent, being subsidized by the government, has done its utmost to deceive the people in the name of Christianity. The schoolmasters, mistresses and teachers in the many schools of Barbados are all "blacks." The mason, carpenters, blacksmiths, machinists, engineers, woodworkers, carriage trimners, harness makers, tailors, dressmakers, automobile repairers, printers, jewelers and all other tradesmen and mechanics are "blacks." Many of the doctors, lawyers and ministers are blacks. The predecessor of the present Chief Justice, the third highest officer of the island, was a black. The majority of the wealthy blacks are educated at Cambridge and Oxford universities. Do these facts show that they are in the main untutored? Among the many games played by these blacks are checkers, football, tennis, rounders, golf and cricket. Among the world's greatest cricketers will be found many of these Barbadian blacks. They also induce in running, jumping, walking, swimming and bicycle racing. Do their facts show that their customs . . . those of primitive Africans. The blacks are not uniformly black, as Mr. Selbold says, for many that are known as blacks in Barbador pass as whites in New York. Unless the rum and other spirits had Mr. Selbold's faculties dimmed, it is difficult to understand why he made so many false statements. The majority of the blacks live in beautiful frame and wall houses which are to be found in every village and district and along the entire seashore, on which aine of the parishes border. No two of these houses are together, nor are they shacks of mud. There is also a beautiful castle in St. Philip, built and owned by blacks.

ARTHUR DAVIS Chicago, Feb. 4, 1921 - On Tuesday night, February 2, the H. H. Marcus Garvey, amid the strains of the U. N. L. A. band, the Legions and Black Clan Nurses, walked upon the platform of the Seventh Regiment Armory applauded by thousands. The band and chorus alternated in artistic selections to add serenity to the occasion. Brief preliminary remarks were made by zealous speakers. Here and there in the great audience, mingled with the 4,600 loyal members, were seated some of the ardent enemies of the young statesman, while policemen and secret detectives galore pranced to and fro. The organization had great persecution in Chicago. It was not understood. Leaders in higher circles in their enmity had built a gigantic fort of opposition and surrounded it with divers legal alliances by the aid of the authorities of the law. Immediately preceding the coming of the Hon. Marous Garvey, Attorney J. P. Harden, local attorney for the organization, had attacked the outer posts of this fort with high explosives of Blackstone and had blown into atoms all legal barriers or entanglements. President W. A. Wallace, who has always proceeded in his work with business acumen and sternness of purpose, introduced the wizard of the Antilles as the president of the Black Star Steamship Line and the Provisional President of Africa. With dignity and potis his excellence arose. The audience was anxious. It arose with cheers and handclapping, whose sounds echoed and re-scood till they filled the immense auditorium. The scene was impressive. The Middle West, with its large Negro population and golden opportunities for the U. N. I. A., was soon to be laid at the foot of this conqueror by a decisive victory in the midwest metropolis, the second largest city in America. It is an open secret that spectators expected that awe would strike even the breast of this giant when he beheld everywhere about him the majesty of the law especially solicited by his enemies. They presupposed a little pussyfooting and a mild propounding of the doctrine and propaganda of the U. N. I. A. With diplomacy and logic rarely possessed by any astute man, with eloquence of Frederick Douglas and the oratory of Booker T. Washington, Hon. Marcus Garvey standing with fists in many demeanor and with his face grim with the care of millions of his victims and murdered and His introductory remarks had the usual enthusiasm and persuasiveness. It was evident there was no fear in his mind. The race that produced the heroes of the Argonne forests and of the battle of the Marne had at last produced a fearless leader in the new reconstruction to champion its cause. He hurled thunderbolts at the offices of the law, who upon his recent visit to Chicago, had sought to embarrass and humiliate him. Some stood, some sat with countenance condemned. They had not one pop upon which to stand as he explained his view of and his attitude toward the different governments of the world. It then drew a meat ax across the pinhead lenders in various walks of life who had been throwing mud at the organization. The effects were to be the waves from the blow were to continue their motion until the puppets of Anglo-Saxon overlord had fallen in the wake as did the Persians in the battle of Thermopylae. Next he gave a logical exposition of the objects of the great movement reviewed its achievements and indicated its future in the life of the race hundreds of new members were made. This appearance will be as historian in the life of Marcus Garvey as we that of Booker T. Washington at the Atlanta Exposition. As an aftermath his opponents already are chanting the lamentation of Nazim Pasha, who while defending a falling empire because of the superior organization and preparedness of opposite forces, wired Constantinople: "My sword has melted in my hands." This leader from the West Indies, the freedom of whose people antedate that of the American Negro and who are, better schooled in the science of government and the arts and devices of the Caucasian domination, henceforth will be our foremost American. Dr Du Bois has pronounced him sincere, honest and that his plans are feasible. He, Kelly Miller, Mary Church-Torrell, the Grimes, Cromwell and others of this school have taught that the Negro is not inferior; that "What a saint has felt he may feel what Plato has thought he may think what at any time has befallon him he can understand." Why not, boost the U. N. I. A.? My God who are they thinking? HARLEM NOTES. Madame Marie Barrier Houlston, Lory Hall's popular soprano, is receiving from her illness. Mrs. O'Gara, a loyal U. N.

LIBERTY HALL, New York, Feb. 6, 1821—Other meetings marked by enthusiasm and large attendance o have within the last few months been held in Liberty Hall for the furtherance of the cause of the Universal Negro improvement Association, but in point of interest and the presence of newcomers—persons (doubting Thomases they may more appropriately be called)—who have been prompted to attend by motives of curiosity and bent on ridiculing, because of previously conceived erroneous notions concerning the U. N. I. A., but who departed upon the close of the meeting with changed feelings, actually having been converted to supporters of the cause—none has eclipsed the meeting held tonight. There were but two addresses delivered, one by the Hon. Marc Garvey, touching upon his recent trip to Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati; the other by a native gentleman of Kimberly, South Africa, Solomon T. Platale, a author, lecturer, and journalist, who gave a very intelligent and graphic account of conditions in South Africa. Yet these were of a character that thrilled the vast audience, and, as was obvious, inspired everyone present with a feeling of greater pride in his membership in the U. N. I. A., and determination to stick to it to the end, and to endeavor to interest others in the movement, until the entire 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States are members and supporters of this, the greatest and most potential cause of the race. Mr. Garvey's address was an unusually lengthy one, yet every word was of interest. He held his auditoria intensity until the very close of his speech, which was frequently punctuated with applause as he told of the great opposition that originally beset him and his co-workers almost two years ago, when they endeavored to gain a foothold in the interest of the U. N. I. A. in Chicago, and how he entered the "Windy City" with scarcely any opposition and carried it by storm at the two meetings he addressed while there. Chicago, he said, is a great city for colored politicians, who ply their trade for their personal aggrandisement and benefit. They were, naturally, opposed to Mr. Garvey and the U. N. I. A., and did everything they could to prevent his coming and remaining in the city. Indictments they had succeeded in obtaining against him for alleged sedition, yet he succeeded in having these indictments quashed and being released as absolutely innocent of the so-called charges. The entire colored press, he said, is now sympathetic toward the U. N. I. A. and gave considerable publicity in their respective publications to the work Mr. Garvey had accomplished and the plan, scope and purposes of the association. The Chicago Defender was the only journal that still withheld its support, and that paper, seeing how futile its adverse criticism in the past against the U. N. I. A., had decided to print absolutely nothing about the U. N. I. A., neither for nor against. Occasion presenting itself, Mr. Garver also stopped at Cleveland and Clinton on his return trip, finding, he said, in the former city a U. N. I. membership of 8,000, contrasted to a membership of only 400 at the time of the convention last summer, while in the latter city the membership is 1,000, as against only 20 members eight months ago. This, he said, speaks volumes for the progress of the U. N. I. A. in the great mid-Western cities and states, and should be an encouragement to all that the great work is going on and gathering new recruits and supporters daily wherever the gospel of the preservation of Africa is spread and of the native of Kim- south Africa, was equally inter- Though Mr. Pianat speaks Aric n accent, yet he spoke and fortunate. He told of the the conditions in that section of accounted how South Africa, as other society, was grabbed while persons came and exploited for their own aggrandizement, because of the ignorance of the natives of the value of their land and its rich and inexhaustible natural resources. Doubilt anything Mr. Platine might say concerning Africa and its ultimate redemption would be interesting, and what he said tonight was perhaps as full of general interest as any subsequent address he might make on the subject during his sojourn. He will speak in Liberty Hall during the present week on other phases of Africa, and to hear this native of our mother land toll, in splendid English, with rounded periods, and in a coherent, logical and delightful manner. of the needs of the African people and of the greatness of the African Continent, is worth anyone's while. It is instructive as well as entertaining, and no one can hear his message without becoming imbued with a desire as ardept and an enthusiasm as great as even Garvey himself, in the cause of the redemption of this wonderful homeland of ours as the only hope we, as a people, have for our salvation and that of our posterity. The Black Star Line Band, under Prof. Iles, and the U. N. L. A., under Prof. Ford, furnished a delightful musical program as a preliminary to the evening's program, Mme. Frazer Robinson, as the solist, lending a richness to it by the never-failing beauty and sweetness of her wonderful voice. Mr. Garvey's speech in full follows: HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS. Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: I am pleased to welcome the members and friends to Liberty Hall tonight. I have just returned from a trip to Chicago and Cincinnati, visiting two of the branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the midwest, and I bring a message to you from the great Windy City of Chicago. Chicago in the West has become another stronghold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) Those of you who have been following the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York for the last eighteen months will remember the fight we had to enter Chicago. Well, we entered Chicago, and we have captured Chicago. (Loud cheers.) In Chicago you will find domiciled corrupt Negro politicians. You will find man there who control the entire city through the politics they play, and they can keep anybody and anything out of Chicago; but for the first time they made an attempt to keep something out of Chicago, and despite all they did that something went into Chicago and took Chicago, and that something is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Cheers.) The politicians in the West have tried their best to keep me out of Chicago for eighteen months—I mean the Negro politicians—and they went to the extreme of having indicted up there for sodding, and I had to face that much indictment in the State of Illinois. They calculated that by that indictment they would have been able to keep me out of Illinois and prevent us carrying the great city of the West as we carried New York. Well, I remained out of Chicago because of the convention and other work I had here for nearly seven months, and then I made up my mind before I leave I would go to Chicago, and I went to Chicago last Tuesday and found an indictment against me along with other indictments against twenty or thirty other men, some socialists, L. W. Wyl and Anarchists. All of us were linked up together. I believe one man got ten years and I got away with the bunch who got away. (Laughter and cheers.) When the records which were given out showed "that the indictment against me was withdrawn, the Negro politicians got annoyed and they went THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 Sick People Come to Me with any CHRONIC NERVOUS DISEASE or COMPLICATED ailments that need the services of a Specialist—Look for help where it should be found—Get started right on the road to Health.

I against me so as to prevent me speaking in Chicago, and half an hour before the meeting at which I was scheduled to speak I was besieged with alarmists from all quarters asking me "What am I going to do"; because it was said that a whole army of detectives and policemen were to be at the armory to greet me. I told them to go back to the armory, because I would be there on schedule at 8 o'clock, and when I went into the armory I saw another Liberty Hall. It was the Seventh Regiment Armory of Illinois, which I believe is nearly twice as large as Liberty Hall, and as far as I could look I saw men wearing the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Cheers.) I believed that the Chicago African Legions include half of the famous Eighth Illinois boys (Cheers) and besides that big battalion of African Legions, we have the finest display of Black Cross Nurses I ever saw. (Cheers.) The Legions and the Black Cross Nurses were ready for action, and therefore those who came changed their minds, and I spoke to the people in Chicago in that armory on Tuesday night just as I spoke to them before, I believe—eight or nine months ago—and as I speak in Liberty Hall night after night; and I can tell you that the enthusiasm of that city is something too and realize for yourselves, because it is something wonderful. The U. N. I. A. that night brought out men of all walks of life in Chicago—I mean Negro men and women, too. The police came under the command of what is known as the Big Six, and when the Big Six put in their appearance we took care of them, and when the meeting was over the Big Six had a conference at one of the street corners and they were overheard to say, "You better not trouble those niggers; those niggers will kill anybody up there." (Laughter.) And so I remained in Chicago for two nights and spoke to as large a gathering as I am speaking to tonight, and I have to say that the Hon. W. H. Wallace, who came to the convention representing the Chicago Division, has done wonderful work in the West for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He and Mr. Grain and others have worked up the membership to 4,800 since they left the convention, and there is no place in Chicago large enough now to hold the membership of that division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Cincinnati Strong for the U. N. I. A. I went from Chicago to Cincinnati, and there again I saw quite a splendid manifestation of the determination and interest of another delegate who come to the convention of the U. N. I. A. in the parson of Mr. William Ware, who came to the convention representing about twenty people who had then formed themselves into the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and now it has a membership of 1,000 per- A. in part is due to the careful animation I make in every case, dided by the latest diagnostic appliance.

The criticisms of Dr. DuBois reached the Chicago before I got there and it did wonderful work for us in Chicago, because I believe it made about 500 new members (cheers) for the Chicago Division of the U. N. L. A. Outside of the Chicago Defender, all the papers in Chicago are allied to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in that they publish the news and they support the U. N. L. A. and the editors themselves spoke at the meetings which I addressed while I was in the city. (Cheers.) And we have had this much satisfaction out of the Chicago Defender—that one of the members approached the editor relative to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and he said.

N. I.

(Cheers.) I left Cincinnati for New York and missed my train by one hour and stopped off in Cleveland, and there again I saw the splendid work of the delegate to the convention, Mr. Shadrick Williams. He came to the convention representing an organization of about 400 members in Cleveland; at the present time he has over 3,000 members. Since he went back he bought a Liberty Hall, two houses and an office for the Cleveland Division of the U. N. I. A., and my party had the pleasure of remaining over at the official residence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the city of Cleveland. That gives you an idea of the work that is being done in the Mid-Western States by the other divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And let me reaffirm to you men and women in Liberty Hall that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken hold of the country like wildfire. It is sweeping everything before it, and white men and and black men, critics and supporters, everybody now are falling in and supporting the red, the black and the A REMEMBER THE SLOGAN "Save a Dollar for the Rainy Day" J.

A. and stood by the organization in the years past, you keep the satisfaction now of seeing a small thing grow into a mighty Colossus. There are some of you present tonight who are old members, joining two or two and a half years ago, when we used to hold our meetings in four by six rooms around barn; and tonight you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have not only one Liberty Hall in New York but you have Liberty Halls all over the world; not only in the Western States and other parts are they buying and building their Liberty Halls, but the news that comes to us from Cuba revives the fact that nearly every week a new Liberty Hall is bought by some of the divisions there. In Panama and in other parts and in Africa they are also buying and dedicating their Liberty Halls, and I feel sure that the time is not far distant when we will have not one, two or one hundred, but we will have thousands of Liberty Halls scattered throughout the world, from whose platforms the same doctrine will be propagated as we are propagating from the platform of Liberty Hall in New York City. We have the satisfaction of knowing that we have done a practical thing; we have done the practical thing in that we said a couple of years ago that our program was for the redemption of Africa. We talked it and now we have actively gone out and in a practical way to redeem Africa. At this hour, whilst we are in Liberty Hall, we have our pioneers at sea on their way to Africa. In another couple of days they will land on the bright and sunny shores of our own motherland; there to start that construction work that we have planned. (Chesapeake.) ```markdown ``` Now this meeting is called for the purpose of honoring those who have subscribed to the Construction Loan in New York, making it possible for us to send away our men, to send away materials and to enter into negotiations to start the work we planned in Africa. The men and women we will honor tonight. I believe, will be the first one to be honored for such a purpose after three hundred years of absence from our own homeland. Other organizations and other movements have talked about Africa, but our Universal Negro Improvement Association has not only talked about Africa but it is going to work every minute of the day for Africa; (cheer) because Africa is our only hope; Africa is our only salvation, and more and more I come to realize that, as I oversee the news that comes to me from Europe, from the war zones, I think up my mind the more that we don't see this great program—this as and years. A readjustment economically in the world means that those who are not sufficiently able, who are not sufficiently prepared, will be at the mercy of the organised class for another hundred or two hundred years. The readjustment of economics means that those who are not prepared to take care of themselves are bound to go down. The state of the world reveals that not only colored men but millions and millions of white men are starving. White men are not like black men. When white men have suffering they do not pray to have those sufferings removed, they start something and have this suffering removed. It is only a question of time when if the government of England does not find some way to solve the economic problem or industrial problem of England there will be a terrible social revolution in England, and so of France and even Germany and other parts of Europe. And so as to save themselves from social revolution the governments will do anything to any other people, caring not how detrimental, how harmful the thing may be, so as to save themselves in their own nation and in their own government. And England is now planning for a complete exploitation of Britain. Every inch of land that Great Britain owns in the next fifty or one hundred years so as to enable Great Britain to pay his great war debt that she herself will never pay. There is not wealth in will pay. There is not the great war debt she has piled up. If you were to take stock of the real value of Great Britain—England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales—the whole British islands are not worth the war debt she has now. Where is she going to get this money to liquidate her debt, she means to get it from somewhere. She cannot get it from Canada; she cannot get it from Australia; she cannot get it from New Zealand; and cannot get it even from India, because of late they are raising Cain in India. The Hindus realize that this is an age of the "survival of the fittest", and they have started out to make trouble, and the latest report that comes from England is that the British Government has sent out thousands of soldiers from England to quell the recent rebellion in India. Where, then, will she get the resources from to reimburse herself and to enable her to liquidate her debt? Only from Africa. The latest report from Africa is that they have bombed out of activity the Emperor of Somaulilland. That man hold Somaulilland for several decades against the British, and the British realized their desperate state and made desperate efforts during these last days to get him out of Brush Somaulilland, so as to be able to gain complete control of the gold and the ivory fields and the mineral resources of Somaulilland and to exploit it, with a view of being able to liquidate her war debt. England is now in a critical position —she is in a desperate position, and she will stop at nothing to accomplish her aims. As with England, so with France; and as with France, so with Italy, and so with Belgium, and except you men realize the significance of happenings now you will be left out, and in a couple of years you will be completely crushed, economically and industrially. So that the U. N. I. A. is warning Negroes everywhere that this is not the time for you to encourage fear! it is the time for you to go forward with one determination to put this programme over. (Applause.) The time has come when Negroes must be serious. You are living in a serious age, an age when a man's bread and butter counts. It is a bread-and-butter age. That is all. The battle of life is nothing else but a battle of bread and butter, and there is not enough bread and butter in the world today to serve every man. That is why England is endeavoring to grab the other fellow's share of bread and butter. That is why France is endeavoring to grab the other fellow's bread and butter, and that is why Italy is endeavoring to grab the other fellow's bread and butter; and the fellow whose bread and butter is grabbed, he is "burnt up." (Laughter.) They will not grab the yellow man says: "Hands off! That's mine." They cannot grab their own, because they are too much organised, and therefore prefer to grab someone else's. France cannot grab from England, nor can England grab from France, because it means war. Whose, then, will they grab? Negroes, to be sure; and that is why all of them are endeavoring to grab a part of THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 Africa, because there I see the bread and butter in gold, in diamonds, in silver, in iron, in coal, in tin, in copper, in everything that you can think of. Africa is an unexplored field, and they were so busy exploring other fields in the past that they did not think of Africa, because the other parts of the world were not sufficiently developed, not sufficiently explored but now, after four years of war, which caused them to use up everything that resulted out of their exploitation of years and years, and centuries and centuries of Europe and other parts of the world, the war left them with such suspicious debts that if they were to exploit Europe for another thousand years, they would not be able to pay the war debt out of such exploitation. Hence they were turned to new fields, and the new field is Africa—Africa, with her teenage millions in wealth and everything that you can think of—Africa, the last resort and hope of Negroes, and if you lose out, I repeat, in the face of the street you are "burnt up. I don't care what prejudice any ... may have about Africa. If he is crazy enough to have a prejudice about Africa, let him keep it until it reacts against him, for it is found to react. When in Chicago I asked the people in one of the two meetings I hold there, how many were ready to go to Africa, every man in the house hold up his hand (Applause). Why, if we had a ship as big as Liberty, if Liberty Hall were a ship, we could just sail right on. (Laughter.) I believe that not even one per cent, of those here tonight would have objection to sailing right on. All you would have to do would be to get some rice, and potatoes, and some onions and pork chops (grant laughter), and all of us would be gone in half an hour to Africa. But, men, let us lay the foundation now—more ships for the Black Star Line—bigger ships—ships that will carry not thirty and fifty men, nor a hundred men, but ships that will carry a thousand men at a time; those are the ships we want, and now that we have little money, before it vanishes, let us put that money into ships, so that we can clear out simultaneously and go to the land of Africans, (Great applause.) What is the use of my having a thousand dollars with a chance of not being able to find employment for another two years? when at the same time there is a chance of going to a new land, where I will be able to work every day in the year, from January to December? Now, which proposition would look more favorable—to stay here with thousand dollars, facing two years of starvation, or to invest part of the thousand dollars and find myself in the land of perpetual sunshine and the land of plenty? I think I would resort to the latter, and that is just the advice I am giving you—that the time for action, industrial and economic—is at hand.

He is to be the speaker of the evening, Mr. Platje comes from six millions of our kinmen in South Africa. He represents a tribe that has already taken up the Red, the Black and the Green as the banner of liberty (treat applauses). He will tell us of conditions in South Africa. He will review the great work we have to perform in that section of the world. For South Africa is one of those sections of Africa that I have my eyes on because the white man has been over there for a hundred years—over two hundred years, building up five manstons and palaces, and I want one of them (Laughter and applauses). Now, my father and my grandfathers have been building manstons over here for two hundred and fifty years for the other fellow, and I think it is a fair exchange to have the other fellow for two hundred years building palaces and manstons for me and my people. (Laughter) At this juncture the gold, silver and bronze crosses were pinned onto the breasts of those who were entitled to receive them, at the conclusion of which the collection was lifted, followed by the address of Mr. Bolomon T. Platje, a verifying report of which is given below: Mr Solomon Plaste of South Africa Speaks. Mr Solomon Plaistle on being introduced spoke as follows. I have the great pleasure of conveying to you of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the greetings of 6,000,000 men and women of African descent in British South Africa (Cheers). They delegated me to go over to Europe last year and to come to this country and ask for the right hand of fellowship from their elders and sisters on this side. Now I do not know whether dark-skinned people understand that sort of thing. I do not know whether Negroes can also give the right hand of fellowship to other Negroes, because if they could, I am quite certain that there would be no talk about redress ng Africa, for no nen race would have unwrapped Africa out of their grasp. I have also to convey to you the greetings of the Toronto Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I spent the last three months in Canada where I met His Excellency when no wau训 Canada. I at that time I told of some of the acts of kindness that were extended to me by the people of our race in the Dominion of Canada. And when I left them last Sunday night they asked me when I got to Library Hall I must tell you that they they are still alive and their intention now is to turn out and get out of their premises and build a hall of their own. (Cheers). Only this morning I got a telegram from Mr. Arthur Holder, one of their most energetic members. He wires greetings to Liberty Hall and wish you every success. "Tell them," he says, "that our leader is Marcus Garvey and no other." (Cheers.) From there I came over to Buffalo ```markdown ``` send 81.00 and we will send you a full supply that you can begin work with at once also agent's terms.

STATION J, BOX 18, NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK JOHNSON, Strip folks say unemployment is caused by Marcus Garvey. I must be some man. (Laughter.) Why, there are some of you who never had a job for five years (thoughts) before Garvey ever came on the scene, and when you had a job, Garvey told you to save your money, if told you that, if you did not save, it is not Garvey a fault. I remember the time very well. I preached it from all platforms all over the country. I told you that the time of reaction would come. The best thing to do, I told you, would be to save your money and invest your money in corporations like the Black Star Line, and if you had done that, the $10,000,000 capital stock of the Black Star Line you now have been over-subscribed and we would have been able to buy ten ships big enough to take out of our port from New York at least a thousand men every week, and in a comparatively short time we would clear up all the unemployed men at that rate. The problem would have been solved by now, for with the $10,000,000 subscribed we would have been able to buy all the ships necessary to transport us over there, and to open factories in Africa and to build railroads in Africa—that country yet wholly unexplored. So it is not my fault if unemployment exists among my people. I knew it would come. But I will still warn you, it is not too late to do the best you can. We cannot hold our hands and expect God Almighty is going to save the situation for us. God Almighty has something in for us. He knows we are too lazy. God Almighty and the Kaiser were the two best friends during the war. (Laughter) God Almighty saw the condition of Negroes, and He told the Kaiser to start something, and we got a chance for five years to make good, and after God Almighty gave us all that chance, we start complaining now. It is time for God Almighty to be paxed with us. But some of us did make good; some of us did our duty, and those who did their duty will be honored to night, they will be called forward and honored because they realized that upon them fell the responsibility of saving Africa of saving posterity, of saving themselves, of saving their Race. So tonight, we shall honor them by pining to their heir, the gold cross of African Redemption, and the bronze cross of African Redemption. (Appease) For each and everyone of them did the best he could. Those who could invest only $50 in the Liberian Construction Loan did it; those who could invest $100 did it, and those who could invest . $1,000, they did it. They did their duty. There are many of us who did nothing, and still expect to be saved. I do not know where their hope and faith come from; it is more than mine. God Almighty tells us that He will help those who help themselves; and I cannot see how a man who folds up his hands, refusing to do anything, can in any way help himself. So, after the collection, which will be lifted immediately, we will pin the crosses to the breasts of the recipients; and after that our distinguished visitor on. Monday morning, and that was my first experience of the United States friendship. This was not my first contact with the Negroes from America. I have met the Jubilee Singers when I was a boy and later on when I became a man. I entertained Bishop Coppin and the late Mrs. Coppin at my house in Mafeking. Subsequently I entertained Bishop Johnson, the last Bishop of the A. M. E. Church over there. I have been entertained in Kimberley by the late Bishop Derrick also; and I was glad to see the colored American in his own home when I got into the city of Buffalo. we been about a good deal and since my arrival here I have gone in and out and seen some of your life and activities. I have noticed some of the opportunities that you have got on this side--your homes, your education facilities, your avenues of labor; and I only hope that you are as clever and as far-sighted and as thoughtful as the members of the other race, for if you were you would know how to profit by your advantages—the advantages that you have got on this side. I doubt very much whether you know that Africa you speak so infinitely about is a country of many contrasts. It is the dryest country. We have got the biggest deserts there in the Sahara, the Kalahari and the Cape Karoo, and at the other extremity we have got the longest river in the Nile.

Address all mail to CLEAR people ever there, and we have not the wealth of great financial wealth. All their wealth has been wreached from the glare of the people because they did not value their opportunities. They knew nothing about their possessions. Do you know that when the Portuguese people first came into your Africa they arrived at those gold mines of Sapope (*) where Solomon used to send his alpins to mine for gold. They found those natives in East Africa mining the gold and boiling and the ladies making angles and ankles and rings of solid gold, not little art or metal overcast with something else, but solid gold. You can understand what was the value of a bangle or an wristlet those days. What did those Portuguese do? They went to these natives and they gave them common little beads and took away all their gold pieces and all their gold ornaments because those primitive natives did not know the value of gold. Now when they realized what valuable metal gold is, it was too late because the white man had already taken possession of the land in which the gold nuggets were found. Now if you have got your marvellous educational faculties and avenues of improvements, and various means of advancing the status of the dark-skinned races on the side, and you did not appreciate your opportunities in the full you are going to be just as sorry as those native of East Africa whose land is in the possession of the Portuguese today. I am glad to hear the President General warn you of the methods adopted by the other race. When they find that there is some I need for something they do not keep down and pray, but they do something. Some of my friends get angry when you tell them to adopt some of the methods of the other race. I do not see what they should be angry. If you are going in for chicken farming you want to tell it in poultry raising and find out the methods he has employed. If you want to redeem a continent you want to study the methods of the people who possess continents today and find out how they came by them. If you want to learn the methods. You are not going to a heaver of wood and drawer of water to learn engineering. You go to a man who has made a success of engineering. Consequently, if you want to get hold of a continent you want to study the methods of those people who have got continents today. Now one of the first ideas you have got to get into your heads is this. That you will never redeem any continent on long as the Negro is so treacherous and unreliable towards his brother Negro. Africans will have to be more loyal to one another before they can think of holding a continent. Over on the other side there are a good many of us that made many serious sacrifices in order to try to bring about the abolition of the slave system obtaining there. I have no disappointment? Be with opposition on the side there are people that who are ready to bank, and I have been from the address of the central tonight that in these states, in spite of your spite of your experience, superior culture, you have of men even in the capital of America. from this point of view, so unreliable that his lover cannot trust him—if a prepared to be true to hisue to his brother Negro, expect that God Almighty entrust him with a whole God Almighty is not a fool, so lay trust a foundation and nation is loyalty to one anheers.) So that when one sees how are we going to go, the rest of black humanity able to adopt the advice of who is in position to tender life. Do you know that with advantages that you have got well with all of your drawbacks men and women on the other one that we now call the 'Man's Burden.' The Man's Burden and I have heard on the plato­about the White Man's Burden—have never yet seen it in my own. There I have only seen the Man's Burden. Now in a few Maris Burdeilly will tell you of the black people understand that in South Africa is not with the position in North Africa is the position of East African with the position on North Coast, for while during this with the British were bombing hills in the East, on the West Coast in the British flock battling down and scheming and forging the promotion of the best of the troops of British Africa. Therefore you agree contrast again. While in these East Africa they art as early as before. You find a offer of affairs in the French Congo. So too you will slavery in British South Africa the black man's independence in all—in the continent of Africa. Now your position is to make the best opportunities at the present time. While you have got a jumble of ground Liberia, where the black man rules myself. In South Africa it is the duty of the black man to do all the mental labor which the white man considers below his dignity to do with his own hands. It is the duty of the black man to perform all the rough work with which the white man does not want to sell his hands. There then are two classes of work—one unskilled work and the other skilled work. Skilled work must be paid at $10 a day and the unskilled work must be paid a quarter a day. Black men must forever do unskilled work and get a quarter, and if a white man dares to pay a black man two quarters a day he is in danger of being mobbed. Well I have heard of wealth and profiting on the part of black men, in West Africa—black men who have made wealth with cocoa, with rubber and all the other commodities, such as palm kernel and so on. In South Africa you have got abject poverty, where a man earning $5 a month is not allowed to leave his work and take a better job even if he can find it. That is held to be against the laws of that country. When you go from here I want you to understand that your duty is to hold to each other and trust one another—to be true and loyal to one another, the same as the other races. You won't take it amiss if I refer repeatedly to the other race. Those are the people who have done things—the people who have robbed you of the continent of Africa. You want to see how they want to work about it? In the first place, they trust one another, and when they are liberally endowed with some of this world's goods they call their brothers and share it with them. Those white people who discovered America, some of the first things they did was to write back to their otherlands and say to the members of their families on that side to come and profit by the wealth on this part of the hemisphere. Those who were able to carry on their work and acquire wealth they may the homelife. So they man may call an American if he was born in Italy. Let anything touch Italy and he will be right at home to redeem Italy. He may be a German. You saw that during the war, while the sea was swarming with British men of war ships seeking to sink any German who dared to go to Germany, there were Germans who left their freedom in the United States, and while the United States were still neutral, and risked every danger and went forward to assist the motherland. That is the spirit that you people have got to adopt. When the Anglo-Saxon on this continent saw that the English were about to be swept off in Europe they thought no, we are not going to sit in America and allow our own people to be trampled under foot by the Teutons. They thought it was time for them to get up and assist their motherland. These Americans plunged themselves into the war at enormous sacrifice of human blood and of many, many dollars. They did not hesitate to take men of Negro descent to go and die for their motherland. Only the Negro sat all while his own brothers and slaters were suffering persecution just around the corner here. That spirit has got to come out of us. We have got to be more charitable and loyal to one another. We have got to be more reliable and we have got to be more true to ourselves. I am very glad to know that there is a new spirit of race consciousness which is gripping the Negro throughout the country, irrespective as to whether he comes from South America or from the West Indian islands or whether he came from the African continent. I have not got the time to tell you all that I would like to now, but I will have an opportunity to speak to you again, and I will tell you a message which I have got from your brothers and sisters on the other side, and I hope you will turn out and listen to that message with sympathy and pity, and listen with open hearts. If you cannot sympathize with your own brothers in distress, if you cannot sympathize with them and be ready to extend the right hand of follow to your own flesh and blood in the same manner that the Jews of it’s very city are extending the right hand of fellowship to the Jews in Palestine, if you cannot do that, depend upon it; that God Almighty is not such a fool as to entrust you with a continent or give the continent of Africa to you. When I got to Canada I found the white people over there in the city of Montreal complaining that their great university—McGill University, the greatest university in Canada—was in need of $5,000,000. They had a drive, and at the beginning of the year they counted how much they had received in donations and they found that they had $6,000,000 when the wanted only $5,000,000. At the same time they launched out on another drive for rebuilding a Protestant church in Vimy, France, that had been completely destroyed by the people returned to Vimy's pastor of that church could not recognise the place where the church stood. The people of Canada said, "We are going to rebuild that church," and in three weeks they subscribed $168,000 together and re-erected that church. At the same time those people over there had their local community drive when they wanted half a million dollars for local charities, and when I came over there and wanted an appointment to lecture about the conditions of my people on the other side they heard me on a few occasions, and then they were tackled by the Chinese starvation appal. Mind other other people on their behalf and say that they are starving, and at once you will see millions of dollars flow from this country to India and China, because those people have their own governments; they can speak through their governments. In South Africa two years ago there was a similar starvation period, when some women were so reduced to the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 extremity of eating their own babies. The facts were reported in the papers, but no sooner was it announced in Canada that the Chinese were suffering from starvation, than in ten days they sent over $150,000 that had been raised to help the poor fortunate. you. It will be impossible for me to convey the whole of my message to the 159,000 Negroes of this city in one address. It will be impossible for me to do it. But I have got some pamphlets here, which you can take at a BROOKLYN DE GOING O Then this unemployment question came on top of that. I don't know who caused the unemployment of the whites. Of course, I understand the unemployment among the blacks in this city is caused by Marcus Garvey (Laughter), so I wonder who caused the unemployment of the whites. in that city and thousands of men thrown out of work. So, after a promise to help me by a liberal response to the mission I was presenting, I told them that we get to pay for digging diamonds; that I saw no bb bk men wearing diamonds; that I have seen them house people who house people's windows, and I can assure you that is what I told these white people of Canada. And in the city of Toronto, wherever you see diamonds, depend upon it that nine out of every ten came from South Africa. No Negroes there ever wear diamonds. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. I congratulate you on the marvelous success that you have made in this part of the world towards the organization of the dark-skinned people of the world. I can only wish you today's speed and advise you that, as you know, you may meet visitors, but try to carry all the Negroes along. We are not the only race that had to contend with treachery among its own members. I remember when Christopher Columbus first thought there was a part of the world that could be found on this side of the Atlantic, people made a laughing stock of him. Even Julius Caesar was assassinated by his people. Today we have got these marvelous facilities of going to consult the presman and asking him to print the leaflets, prospectuses and things like this by the thousand for us. Well, do you know the German who made the discovery of printing. Gutenberg, who printed the first book? The Germans got no information against him—this was five hundred years ago—that they thought the man was a witch, and he was going to bewitch the people of the country. He was able to print in one day what it would take a man a hundred days to do, a six months to write it out by hand. So they thought the man was a witch, and he had better be clapped in jail. They put him in jail, and let him "unglush there, until one day they thought it necessary to issue the proclamation. They put to work on the proclamation the men who do it, these men do a long time that they got impatient, and they went to the court and said: "Why not get that trouble out of the prison and get him to practice his secret on this work, that we might get the copies at once?" So they brought him back, and they got the copies of the proclamation in a day, and finally he was allowed to practice his part of printing if he should not agree to bewitch the German population. So, in this considerable treachery we are meeting with every day, it ought to steal ours to stillGreater efforts. When we find that there are some who are ready to stab us in the back. I do not for a moment approve of the action of some people who are so treachorous as to try always to push us back, who always move the clock backward, when we are struggling to advance. For instance, when I was in the city of London, after that great speech delivered by the honorable president of this organization, a speech that made the white people shake on the other side of the water and in South Africa, where they knew that they have a heavy bill to pay to the Negro, there were ten thousand people who heard that speech, and when they learned that there was a Negro in New York who talks about redemption in Africa, they asked those Bosons under General Smuta, the head of the government of South Africa, what he is going to do about this New German movement. Shortly after I heard that this leader of the Negroes had bean shot, Well, I couldn't tell by the name as to who shot him, but I said to myself, I would not be surprised if it were a Negro. I did not suppose it was a white man. And, to my amazement, my supposition was verified, that it was a Negro who shot him. Well, if we have those things to contend with, you must remember that the redemption of Africa will be delayed until we can be a little more trustful and a little more loyal to one another. (Applause.) Ladies and gentlemen, I was asked before I came over here how long I was going to stop. I said that the length of my stay will depend upon ADVERTISMENT NEW HERBS FROM MOTHER EARTH Our herbare are here and if you feel we will gladiate give you advice PRING.

It will be impossible for me to convey the whole of my message to the 158,000 Negroes of this city in one address. It will be impossible for me to do it. But I have got some pamphlets here, which you can take at a dime each, when you leave the hall. They will give you a bird's-eye view of our position in South Africa. I have also written a book upon the conditions of the natives in South Africa. This book was very ably reviewed by our friend, Mr. Bruce Grit, about a year ago. That book has made a good many friends for us in the West India islands, also on the West Coast of Africa and in America. That is why, on my arrival here, I did not think or feel absolutely that I was coming among strangers. But now that I am here in person the length of my stay is going to depend upon you, the people of New York, although I think you are listless. Of course, if I were a Jew appealing to Jews, just the same as I saw those rabbis doing in Toronto when I was there, I am sure that there would be a liberal response from everybody here. However, I think you are going to receive my message with open hearts. When I come before you on Thursday evening next, I will give you the message a little further. I have got to tell you about the 'bord condition' of Berlin, and about the harassing characters we have there, and on a subsequent occasion I have to have an opportunity to deliver to you a message that was given me by the women of South Africa to the colored women of this side of the Atlantic, and I do hope you will make it possible for me to deliver these messages. Mr. President I thank you for this opportunity, and appreciate the patient and attentive interest that has been shown me by everyone here, during my talk tonight. With your indulgence, I will now sing the first two stanzas of "Nearer, my God, to Thee." in my own language, and will then ask the audience to join with me by singing the last stanza, they in their language, and I singing it in my own tongue. (The hymn was then sung accordingly.) CAMDEN U. N. I. A. Camdon, N. J. is becoming a city of much interest among its inhabitants and suburban towns since the *N. I. N. A. A. & A. C. L.*, under its honorable President, M. J. T. Gaines, and officers, soon using their best efforts to achieve great success, especially by spreading good news and gladiators, which is the theme of the *U. N. I. A. A. & A. C. L.*. Many towns have been invaded and members enrolled. Many churches that stood aloft have opened their doors; the eyes of the public on one of Camdon's best businesses thoroughsaw catch sight of *U. N. I. A. A. & A. C. L.* stamped on the big bay window of the well-stitched office, 821 Kaighn Avenue, and the word passes from one to another that the association means success. Last week, dating from Jan. 24th to the 20th, a series of mass meetings were held. Many visitors of standing recognition were present during the meetings. On the 28th the President of Philadelphia Division was heartily greeted, also his escort. The President, Mr. Franois, made a short address and Mrs. Roscoe Dimina, who was an escort of the Philadelphia President, charmed the ears of the lovers of music when she sang the lyrical solo. "Garvey and the Black Stair Line. Her husband showed his ability as a master of music while at the piano. The President of Camden Division made a short and well-taken speech, and commented on the solo that had been rendered. On the 29th the series was closed. Much success was achieved. The spirit of Camden is greatly inspired to go on, as our vision is our motto—One God, One Alm, One Destiny. With vigor we press on. G NEWSUAN, Recorder, J. T. GAINES, Pres. BROOKLYN DIVISION GOING OVER THE TOP "Going over the top" is perhaps the best term by which one can express the rapid strides the Brooklyn-Division is making since a series of revival meetings have been held during the month of January, under the auspices of His Excellency the Hon. Dr. R. H. Tobit and the Hon. J. S. E. Bourg, Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies and Guiana and Leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, Central and South America, respectively. During the recent drive for the Liberty Loan for Liberia, the indefatigable president of the Division, the Hon. T. W Austin, D. I. N. C. and his staff of worthy officers, have spared no pains to give the drive a "go". despite the many reasons, they have had to be disassembled with existing conditions Recently, a monster mass meeting was staged at the Fleet Breat A. M. P. Zion Church--under the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Brown, a man of sterling qualities--during which the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounda. The eloquent addresses delivered on the occasion brought forth much fruit financially, numerically, and otherwise. The chief speakers on the occasion were the I. E. . . Tobit who took as his mission Africa the field of opportunity for the Negro, Liberia the Dour, and the I. U. N. I. A. the Master Key", the Hon. Dr. Ferris who dealt with the necessity for the Liberian Loan, and the Hon. J. S. De Bourg, who spoke of the need of co-operation among Nugroes for their common safety). President Austin made a practical speech which went home to the hearts of his hearers, and he was also supported by Mr. Colburne and Mrs. Mcvey, the Man Hatto Brown. Sunday evening, Jan. 23, was another time of refreshing when Dr. Tobit probed to the members from the text "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation of God." On the occasion the U. N. I. A Band of the New York Division, under the direction of Prof. Mandelle, discured sweet music, which was highly appreciated and commended. The Hon. Asst. Secretary General, J. B. Yourwood, and the Hon. Dr. Forris visited the meeting and attired the people's with their forceful and practical addresses. Tuesday evening, Feb. 1, proved a most auspicious time, when, after the Liberty Loan was subscribed, His Excellency, Dr. R. H. Tobit started a drive for the first sofa机 to be owned by the U. N. I. A. By placing down the first dollar, and appealing for $35.00, at least, as the nucleus of a fund to secure the first sofa of a future fleet. Soon $25.00 was raised and turned over to the Brooklyn Division, which has the honor of being that in the field in this direction. The inspiration was caught by Dr. Tobitl during a most enthulastic address made by M. E. MoeVey, a young and efficient aviator from the South. who did his bit during the late World War to make democracy safe for allons, but who has now pledged his experience and services in the interest of his own race—the Negro. Mr. MoeVey is now a member of the Brooklyn Legion under their able Chieftain, Adj. Lamott, D. I. N. C., and whose men bid f' to rival the New York Division for smearings of appearance and military bearing. The Brooklyn Division is now looking eagerly for hard to the Grand Entertainment being staged at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Feb. 17, when eminent musician Robert F. W. McIntosh, prominent choir chosen from the High Executive Council, and when the Block Star Line Land, and prominent vocal artists from Liberty Hall, will participate in the programme.

CUT THIS OUT SUBSCRIPT Gentlemen: I hereby subscribe for... shares with as full payment $... Peter Bickler, Esq., a noted New York publisher, who at his own expense reprinted from the original plates the unexpunged work of Count Charles P. Vulney, "The Ruins of Empress," in his publisher's preface to this book makes an admission which man of his color in America, but not of his race, do not seem to possess the courage to make, touching the primary of the leadership of the Negro, assuming that they know the facts. Their silence discovers a species of moral cowardice and racial prejudice, or both, which may in some measure account for the hostility shown to Negroes by this type of the superior race, and their insistence on ridiculing the Negro in cartoons is some of their newspapers and magazines with the evident purpose of giving the impression that the Negro race is inferior. Mr. Eckler, whom the writer had the privilege of knowing in his lifetime, and from whom he purchased a half-dozen copies of the first edition of this book (now out of print), alluding to the tricks of the American translators of the book, expunging from the text all passages which gave credit to the black or Ethiopian race for any particular greatness or virtue, says: An example of an important omission of this kind may be found on the 15th, 16th and 17th pages of this volume, which may be appropriately referred to in this connection. It is there stated in describing the ancient Kingdom of Ethiopia and the ruins of Thebes, her opulent metropolis, that "There a people now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their sable skin and frigid hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." A voluminous note, in which standard authorities are cited, seems to prove that this statement is substantially correct and that we are in reality indebted to the ancient Ethiopians, to their fervid imagination of the persecuted and desplaced Negro for the various religious systems now so highly revered by the different branches of both the Semitic and Aryan races. This fact, which is so frequently referred to in Mr. Volney's writings, may perhaps solve the question as to the origin of all religions, and may even suggest a solution to the secret so long concealed beneath the flat nose, thick lipe and Negro features of the Egyptian Sphinx. It may also confirm the statement of Modorus that "the Ethiopians conceive themselves as the inventors of divine worship of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices and of every other religious practice." That an imaginative and superstitious race of black men should have invented and founded the diversity of men across these capture theory, that still lings be the thoughts and tinges with its potential influence the literature and faith of the civilised and cultured nations of Europe and America, is indeed a strange illustration of the mad caprice of destiny, of the insignificant and apparently trivial causes that oft produce the most grave and momentous results. Mr Eckler in thus unblooming himself displays to the world the kind of courage which all honest and fair-minded men possess. In telling the truth he has shamed the devil of race and color prejudice and exposed the rank cowardice of the white clergy and lally who know the truth but fear to approach it lest there should be added a halo of glory to the Ethiopian race, which fortunately does not need the aid of the white race to fix its place in the divine economy. It was this race that was given the honor and proud distinction of being Host to the Son of God, that followed Him to Golgatha, bearing with Him the cross on which He was crucified by the convivance of Shem and Japath. It is a great race; God knows it and some white men confess it, but we know as little about our history and ancient stories as a wooden Indian does of Sasuunt. We are yet the "Careless Ethiopians." "Stapleton Benaparte, while ruminating on the island of St. Helena, prophesied that Europe would "become a democracy in one hundred years." had overthrown and stopped it when it was going at a rapid rate of speed toward the river trout, and how frightened she had been when the car started, knowing that her father was under it at the time. The officer then let the Negro go, and he lost no time in going. As he emerged into the street he saw some of the men of the crowd who had cried "Lychna that Negra," who on seeing him at liberty assumed rightly that he was innocent of any wrong-doing and did not molest him. As he passed along on his way to his mother's house he said to himself many times "Merciful God, what evil hearts these white people have." The next day he left: the Southland to come back no more. Can you blame him?

Patriotism Like Charity Should First Begin at Home. The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not object to its members having the photos of deserving white people in their homes, but it insists that its membership and the race as a whole, should adorn their brackets, mantlepieces and parlors with the pictures and photos of leaders of the race. For that reason it will develop a gallery for famous Negro Photos and Paintings. As an initial step the association has prepared a repository in the office where some photos and beautiful photo-postcards of the following men and women can be obtained at a small cost. That prophecy is searing its fulfillment, for many thrones have toppled and 'allen since the recent World War, and kings and queens and nobles have been reduced to the level of the common people. Before the middle of the 1st century there will not be a crowned head in Europe. The people have ordered that the used parasite who have lived off the labor of the poor must earn their bread by the sweat of their brown, and that the Gospel of Work shall apply to them now and for all time to come. Hurrah! for democracy when it comes. A man in a big limousine in which sat a young girl of not more than fifteen years of age, was riding down the main street of a certain town in the South, when suddenly something happened to his car. He stopped it at the curb, got out and began to investigate for the purpose of locating the source of the trouble. He got down on his back under the body of the car and began to screw and unscrew certain parts of the wreaking machinery. As he was about to emerge from under it car he accidentally touched a rod at which the car gate a certain lurch dragging him a couple of blocks. One of the wheels ran over his right arm and broke it in several places. A black boy recently returned from the European war now the accident and ran with all speed to the rescue of the man and lifted him to the sidewalk, then he ran quickly after the speeding automobile which was now within three blocks of the river front, overtook it, and jumping on the running board grabs the steering gear and stopped the car, turned it around and was driving back to its wounded owner, around whom a crow had now gathered, and were plying with questions as to how the accident to his arm occurred. Seeing the Negro in the car, which he had brought alongside the curb near his owner, someone in the crowd concluded that the man had received his accident by the carelessness of the Negro, whom they took for his chauffeur, and cried out: "Lynch that Nigger; he has almost killed a white man." But the injured man, who had now gained consciousness, raised his left arm and said feebly, "Don't harm that Negro, he has saved my daughter's life and saved my machine from going overboard into the river." The crowd looked on in amazement. Meanwhile the girl got out of the car just as the police officer, who had been notified, and began making the usual inquiries of bystanders as to how the gentleman was injured, etc. etc. Then, with the assistance of three or four lusty men, they picked up the owner of the car and put him in it, and the Negro was ordered to drive them quickly to the City Hospital, where the doctor's fired up his broken arm. The man's daughter told the officer and officials at the hospital how the accident to her father occurred; how he had lost control of his car, and how this Negro WIDENING HORIZONS Negroes everywhere are becoming more and more interested in trade and commerce, and the horizons for these activities are widening daily. Native African merchants find it extremely difficult to secure bottoms (ships) for the conveyance of their product, and this is equally true of Negro merchants in South America and the West Indies. Everywhere Negroes are experiencing considerable difficulty securing passage of the steamship lines controlled by white interests. The need of more and bigger ships for the Black Star Line is; therefore, apparent.

HARRISON VISITS AMERICA The Soul of John Town-By Stephen Graham The Macmillan Company 1920-331 pages. After serving in the English array through a war in which the white men of Europe were cutting each other's throats by the million to determine which should gobble up the lands and labors of the African in the name of white Christianity. Mr Stephen Graham came over to America to see what white Christianity has done for the African after transporting him to its own land. What he found would have daunted a professional optimist. He has set forth his findings in this volumes, but it isn't very easy to pin him down to any definite conclusions. Mr Graham writes with his tongue in his chin and loops in useless contempt at both the white and black American. Anyone who mistakes him for a friend of either has been "done in the face" as the English say, for the opening sentence is a thinly-veiled anger at the incessance of the white American and democratic pretensions and his lack of civic commits us all to the deal that he rarely knows whether to take his look as "impressions" of the American race problem or a "study" of it. The author set out to make an observation through the South following the trail of General Sherman in his famous march to the sea. He had a desire to find out just where the Southern Negro stand today in the south of things American, and to set that information for the information of the white section of the English-speaking world. His work stands midway between that of a superficial impressionist and that of a serious speaker after truth. Unfortunately, it has been done much better by Mowers White and Sedgman in the latter's recent book, "The Negro Face America." Mr Graham has sought to combine the merits and methods of two famous works of the middle of the last century: Frederick Law Observer's "A Journey Through the Segmental State States" and Fanny Kemble's Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation," but he falls far short of the intimate knowledge of the one and the profound comprehension of the other. It would be obviously unfair to expect either of these qualifications in a strolling Englishman who had spent a few months to spend on his for the truth in such a tangled life as that of our American race-actions; and, on the whole, his work is meritorious. ```markdown ``` His errors of observation are not deadly, indeed some of them are somewhat diverting. He finds for instance that he W. W. Burghardt Du Bois "the greatest force among the Negroes today." Our Booker T. Washington was "more monotony" than he, that James Welden Johnson is also "a darker in man" that The Criisk" is a newspaper that there are only about a hundred Negro newspapers in the United States that Madame Malker calls a no-noun called "Anti-Kink," that there are Negro marines in the United States Navy and that there is a song known as "Yakky, Yakky, Yakky, Yokky Doola." These are the laughable errors; but sometimes this gift of innocence leads to serious results as, for instance, when in the chapter on "The Negro's New Mind," he cheerfully chatters of the cowardice of the American Negro troops in France. We sincerely hope that he may get hold of Mrs. Hunton's and Mrs. Johnson a book recently reviewed in these columns and got at official first hand the exceptionally high, record of Negro Americans in France during the World War. These small errors, however, make but a small fraction of Mr. Graham's book and as the only professional Negro book reviewer in captivity, we should be false to our trust if we failed to call attention to the good side of the volume now before us. The author sees in America's attitude toward her Negro population not only a real danger to her in the event of an invasion of her borders, but a menace to the white face as well, and he now and then break the thread of his very interesting narrative to exhort a heedless nation to return to the elementary decencies of justice and fair dealing. "If I ill treatment of the Negroes should at last force the twelve millions of them to make cause with a revolutionary mob," he says in one place, "polite America might be overwhelmed and the larger portion of the world be lost—if not of the world, at least of that world we call civilization." He means the Anglo-Saxon world, of course, as most Anglo-Saxons do when they speak of "civilization" and "the world," but the warning is no less solemn and portentous on that account. Wherever he says: "I felt sorry for the white women of the South; there will some day be a terrible reckoning against them. Their honor and safety are being made the pretext for terrible brutality and cruelly. Revenge, when it gains its opportunity, will therefore wreak its own upon the white woman most. Because in the name of the white woman they justify burning Negroes at the stake today, white women may be burned by black mobs by and by." curbed by the enemy or by amy. There is no doubt that almost any insurrection of Negroes could ultimately be put down by force and that it would be very bad for the Negroes and for their cause; but before it could be put down what might happen? And should it synchronise with revolutionary disturbances among the whites themselves, or with a foreign war?" This thought, though addom expressed often comes to the minds of white men who, judging by what they themselves would do, easily impute the game intention to Negroes. Whether such an imputation is well or ill-founded the present writer refuses to say, but it is certainly dishonest and unfair to impute such intentions to Dr Du Bols, as our author does. He obviously lacks the toughness of fiber needed for such intentions, which would imply too stark a rejection of the "sweet reasonableness" of literary and parliamentary discussion and the other modes of approach to ultimate "reconciliation" with that white man's world of which his genius is so fine a flower. Mr Graham sees the sinister problem of lynching from many different angles. He notes its roots in the simple brutish desire to keep the Negro down—to the level where his work, wealth and women can be most safely and successfully appropriated. He also sees the importance of "race" in the study of its reactions, and sagely observed, "I am tempted to think that if the white race which inhabits the south were French or Russian or Polish or Greek there would be no lynchings" "It is the Anglo-Saxon and Irish-American section of the population" he adds later "two determine the way of politics here, as elsewhere in the South" and he explains the Negro massacre apathy to Socialism and Bolshevism in a way that should carry concern if not completion, even to the editors of The Messenger. "They [the white protestor of the South] are said to be the worst enemies of the Negro, and the Negro is afraid of Bolshevism or Socialism because he knows that the common white people, those who have nothing and are nothing" are the last people likely, to give him Justice" and he quotes approvingly the words of a prominent Negro. "As long as Socialism is followed by the lower classes of whites we can see that there is more dangers coming from Socialism to the Negro than from anything else because below the Mason and Dixon lie the people who Lynch Negroes are the low-down whites." This is the very reaction which we foretold in 1912 to the Bourgeois opportunists of the Socialist Party. Our author points out that the theory of sex-perception also applies to the with it all his life, may be unable to white nobs who dance with ghoulish glee around a roasting Negro. This popular form of sadism was noted by a German scholar about fifteen years ago but it still stands in need of pungent presentation. Here and there the Negro reader will find helpful criticisms of its race's demerits. Mr. Graham comments in causal vein on certain tendencies of the educated Negro and notices "a marked disposition to quarrel" among them. "Loyalty to one another was not one of their characteristics." Of the maluettes he aver that, "Sin is written in most of their bodies. It is sharpest in the maluettes and 'near-white'. The moral character of the black Negroes is simpler than that of the pallid ones." And he takes obvious pleasure in trifling with the cultured Dr Bolling of Norfolk, who "was himself married to a woman who could pass as white and his children were little white darlings with curly hair." On the whole he doesn't seem to fancy the classo, and we feel sure that some of them will indemnify themselves later in their own proper persons. But nother does he fancy the "crack ers," whom he descr 's more ignorant, ugly (women and ... n), illiterate and uncivilized than the rest of white America.

Among them will be: CHICAGO. ILL. Feb. 1.-Hon. Marcus Garvey visited here and spoke as follows: Mr. President and follow citizens. It is indeed a pleasure for me to find myself here this evening. I have come to this your beautiful city to speak in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I can remember coming to your city some fifteen or sixteen months ago, for the purpose then of giving you an insight into this great world-wide movement and to tell you of its activities. Tonight, I am here to tell you of the dimensions of the movement. But before I speak on the movement, I want to clarify the minds of some of the curious persons in this hall. I want it plainly and clearly understood that there is absolutely nothing in the wide world—in the great universe—to intimidate Marion Garvey. It takes more than human power, more than human effort to drive fear into my soul. (Appease). I fear God, and know no other fear. Therefore, if anyone comes here this evening expecting to listen to a coward or to one who is going to appologize for something, they have misshen their man. There is nothing of fear in the make-up of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We feel that the time has come for the Negro to strike the blow for his freedom; and, by all the Gods that be, we are going to strike that blow when the time comes. I have not come to Chicago to stir up strife among the races, nor to preach revolution, because I am not an anarchist nor a societal, even though they try to picture me as one of these. I know nothing about them. I am a Universal Negro Improvement Association man from the bottom of my foot to the top of my head. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association stand for the freedom of the Negro, and we have no apology to make for that, neither to men nor nations. Negroes have been bowing and crumbling, dying here and dying there for three hundred years; now they are preparing to die when the time comes for their liberty. I came to the city of Chicago some fifteen months ago—I believe some of you who are here tonight heard me—and some reporters connected lies about what I said. If they knew who knew all those lies, we sure that your stands have to tonight. What I said then I will say now. I am not against this government; I have nothing to say against any government; I have no time to talk about other people's governments, whether it be that of England, France, Germany or any other nation. The government, that I am talking about now is the new government that is to be, the government of Africa from whence my father and grandfather, against their will, were brought years and years ago. I am talking now about the new government which will be the government of Africa, which we shall give to and carry throughout the world and compel them to respect. That is the government. I am interested in, and I want everybody to understand, therefore, what I have to say. Perhaps hundreds of you will have to go into court to substantiate what I may be tonight. Garvey can fight to a finish. I am not afraid of any jail, so jail in the world is big enough to make my afraid of it. I am afraid of anything where the liberty of the Negro is concerned. I do not fear death. How can a man dig more gloriously than fighting for the cause and for the liberty of his race? 'Applauses.' Tail them that Garvey has no fear of jail in Chicago, New York, and anywhere. So please take that much from your ideas about my being fearful and intimidated. You can have a million policemen here and I shall call the better. I have been talking over the country for two years, and I know I have had nothing against the government of the United States. In fact, I think Uncle Sam is very pleased with the fact that the Negro is getting ready to protect himself and not bother Uncle Sam so much. We have had numerous mass meetings and president after president has told us "We can do nothing." The white populace will be disheartened. We are not going to worry Uncle Sam nor any other nation for that matter; we are going to build up in Africa a government of our own, big enough and strong enough to protect Africa and Negroes anywhere. Men do not respect mass meetings and petitions, men respect that thing that everybody is afraid of. The white folks have it here and everywhere, the yellow man have it in America and Negroes must get it. God Amnunity created us all—white, yellow and black—and when he did so he did not give us any guns and swords to take along with us. All mankind came into the world naked; yet some of these fools have written that they had something then. I have been looking at them daily, and becoming more impressed. Here you have three men one white one black, one yellow, all came into the world at one and the same time. The white man has guns and swords, dagger and other implements and keeps them with him; the yellow man does the same, and the fighter black man stands up in the middle—between these two men—with two bare hands. You must realize that you are firing with your own future, your destiny, and A MONSTER MUSICAL AND LITERARY THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1821 your name if the white dalmie and the yellow dalmie sniff names to have dalmie chinns. You should first - now to have them chinns. And we should have dalmie chinns for a purpose. What is the idea of beginning with a dalmie chinns? The idea is to protect the rights of the dalmie man in Asia. The success of Europe have always to protect the rights of the white man in Europe. Therefore the time comes for you to make and create a dalmie of dalmie and have the greatest army and army in the world. I do not carry white dalmie or dalmie man army! I want to use a dalmie for the King everywhere! I want to use a dalmie I am a citizen of Asia. of the world I can see Ethiopia stretching furth her hands unto God. The time has come the hour has struck for neglect all over the world to organise for their liberty Some white people and some Negroes think that this movement is radical! They say "Carvey's movement is too radical he should be more conservative." What has the Negro to conserve? He has nothing but Jim Crowism to conserve. If anybody should be a radical it should be the Negro. We are not radicals even though some men think that we are. The I W. W. are radicals, and so are some BocaLISTs, but they are white people, so let them "raise Cain" one on what they please. We have no time with them, we have all the time with four hundred million Negroes, and have absolutely no time to waste with anybody else. So, please understand that Marcus Garvey is no I W. W., he does not even know what it means, he is not Socialist he doesn't know what it means, he is no anarchist, as far as Western civilization is concerned, but if anarchism means that you have to drive out somebody and sometimes kill somebody to get that which belongs to you when I get to Africa I am going to be an anarchist. Africa has been calling for three hundred years, and who should tell me now that I shall not talk for my right. Look at me a man knowing myself and knowing my relationship to my creator. Tell me that I must close my mouth when I see the other fellow taking away that which it mime. You are crazy (Applause). As I read in my opening remarks, there is but one fear in my soul, no man, be Pope of Rome Archbishop of Canterbury, Emperor of Germany, President of France, King of England, there is no man who is broad and big enough to drive fear into my soul. Therefore I say to you all: Know yourself, know that God Almighty created you as men, know that he created you for a purpose, and find that purpose. Ethiopia never found that purpose, but the new Negro has found his purpose, and it is interested in these few words of Patrick Henry. "I care not what others may say, as for me give me liberty or give me death." (Applause). Look at Africa, the land from when our father came three hundred years ago. We despise her today because we do not know her history. Three hundred years ago no Negroes were to be found in these United States of America on this North American continent, in the West Indies, and South and Central America. Just about that time a large number of white men, calling themselves colonists, settled in this country. In their desire to develop the country they searched the world for laborers that they could use to build up the country, the nation of their dreams. They went to Europe and were unsuccessful in recruiting from that part of the world the laborers they needed to help them in the building up of America, so they turned to Asia where they also failed to secure the required help. John Hawkins, with a committee, then asked permission of Elizabeth. Queen of England, to take the blacks of Africa into her colonies in the West Indies and this Western Hemisphere for the purpose of developing the colonies. Queen Elizabeth inquired of John Hawkins and his committee: "What consideration will you give these blacks, should I sign the charter giving consent to take them from Africa into my colonies of the Western Hemisphere?" Their answer was: "We will civilize and Christianise them. In their own country they are savages and cannibals." The Queen signed the charter, and John Hawkins and his committee transported across the Atlantic forty million black men women and children, whom they scattered all over three Americas and the West Indian islanda. Shilipods after shiploads were sent in the slave markets of the West Indies and to the slave masters of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and throughout the Southern states. The slaves holders of the West Indies, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Cuba all bought according to their likes and dislikes of the slaves who were brought to them; and in that way brothers were separated from sisters and parents were separated from children. Those sold in the West Indies were kept in bondage for 230 years, and those in America for 250 years. Eighty-three years ago Victoria of England, known as "Victoria the Good," signed the Emancipation proclamation that set free hundreds and thousands of Negroes in the West Indies, and the Declaration of Independence set free over 4,000,000 in America. Negroes were brought into this Western Hemisphere. Now I am going to give an illustration of the Negro. The Negro is like the Jew. There was a man called Jesus, who came to earth as the Saviour of mankind, the saviour of his race, the Jews, and those Jews, when he came just got together and said: "We are not satisfied with this man, we want him put away." The Jews had no power, they were just living in the great Roman empire, but had no power, just as Negroes have no power today; they could not do anything with Jesus, because they were nobody in the Roman state. But those Jews played politics, and they went to those Roman prefects, the Roman chief of police, and lied against their brother Jew Jesus. They said: "He has preached against Cosur and against the state? Put him in jail." The Roman judges said they found no fault in him, but the Jews replied: "He is a bad man; if you put him in jail you will please us so much." They took him before the governor of the state and before Pontius Pilate who both said: "We have found no fault in this man." But the Jews still cried: "Crucify him crucify him! crucify him!" And then those Jews, because they could not accept the doctrine of Jesus Christ, were not satisfied until they had crucified their blessed Lord and Saviour on the Cross of Calvary. There are many such Negroes in Chicago now; they are no judges, nor mayors, nor governors, nor police captains; they are the heads of nothing in the state, yet they may: "Here copies the man Garvey; put him in jail; put him in jail." But let me tell you this: In all ages men who have come before the people to help them have always been regarded as agitators, but they always prepared themselves for the extreme of everything. I want to say, good friends in Chicago whether any of you desire to see Garvey in or out of jail, it is immaterial to Garvey. If you are afraid of jail Marcus Garvey is not. when he knows he goes there for a righteous cause. Some of you Neges go to jail for robbing another Negro, but when Garvey goes he goes fighting the battles of four hundred million Negroes all over the world. I do not care what lies you tell the police captain, judge, mayor, governor, or nation. I know there is a God who means that Ethiopia shall stretch her hands; and no police captain, judge, mayor nor anyone else can stop Ethiopia from stretching forth her hands at this time. We have already organized the world. Let Marcus Garvey die, and you have two thousand Negroes willing to take his place. (Applause.) The work must go on. As I speak to you in Chicago tonight, four million Negroes are listening. Put me in jail in Chicago and somebody may be going in jail somewhere else. The Negro has reached the point where he is going to take care of himself. What is life to me, if I must live a life of beggary, bowing and living? Life is dear to me when it is the life and spirit of a free man. (Applause.) I look on the world around me, and I see a great civilization that I admire. I am not angry with the white man nor the yellow man. But I want this much understood: If the white man loves me, I love him; if he hates me, I hate him. I have no more to give him than he must give me. I have been playing fool for three hundred years, somebody has got to play the foul now. You have to show me how much of a brother you are before I accept your brotherhood. Now, I admire your cities. I admire the civilization of this great America, the greatest republican country in the world. I see it as a great accomplished fact, a reality coming to us by the sufferings of hundreds and thousands of the Pilgrim fathers, the early settlers, who came to suffer and to die.

We have learned, we have labored for the other fellow to build a country entirely his own. The Universal Negro Improvement Association would build up and is working for a country to give you as your own. When you are to build up a nation in Africa, a great industrial nation, and have an army in Africa second to none in the world, then I will come out in the world and compliment Negroes. Until then I have no praise for you. I have no compliment for you. I believe that what white men have done Negroes can do. So I am here to inspire you to greater actions. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now taking the work under its own leadership. That is my message tonight! This is no apology nor compromise to any man. We are going forward and shall continue to go forward until Africa is redeemed. (Applause.) CHILDREN'S SAVING SYSTEM INAUGURATED IN SANTO DOMINGO In the month of December the thought came into my mind that it would be of some help to start a CHILDREN'S SAVING SYSTEM, where each child or person shall contribute twenty-five cents (85c) weekly. At the expiration of twenty weeks, instead of paying out five dollars (85.00) to the winners, it was agreed that this amount be sent to buy shares in the Black Star Line Steamship Company. This proposition met with hearty support of several of the officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the Macoris No. 25 Division, of which I am proud to belong as Secretary of the Trustee Board. The system is to give opportunity by which children and others can buy hundreds of shares in the Black Star Line S. S. Company by contributing only twenty-five cents (85c) weekly. One hundred persons are now giving 25c. weekly to buy Black Star Line shares. JOHN F. LAVIEST. Macoris, Santo Domingo. Dr H. H. Brown, a dentist of Monroe, N.

EASON, AMERICAN NEGRO LEADER, SPEAKS AT PROVIDENCE Monster Mass Meeting Is Staged Sunday Afternoon Col. A. J. Johnson, B. T. Montgomery and Rev. Dr. J. S. Blake Also Make Stirring Speeches. Mon. Dr. 7. W. H. Eason, elected leader of the American Negroes to a large audience in the Olney Street Baptist Church, explained the purpose of the economic political aims of the worldwide movement for the unification of Negroes everywhere, stating that the movement is being promoted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its subsidiary body, the African Communities League. The meetings were conducted under the auspices of the Providence Division of the Association. Members were distinguished by the colors of the U. N. L. A., the red, black and green button. There was music by the choir and a soprano solo by Miss Delmathia Holms. The opening prayer and benediction were said by Rev Robert L. Smith, chaplain of the division Rev Dr. Jacob S Blake, pastor of the Olney street church and president of the local division, acted as chairman. He said that previous leaders of the colored race in America had been "hand-picked" by the whites. Mr B. T. Montgomery, speaker of the division, U. N. I. A., said that the Negroes-400,000,000 strong, were seeking autonomy and recognition, as were other nationalities. Col. Adran Johnson, colonel of the African Legion, spoke of the treatment of which the Negroes were undergoing, not only in America and the isles of the sea, but worse than Jim-crowed in some parts of Africa under British rule. Rev. Dr. R. A. Carroll Speaks. Mr. President, Officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League: I feel as I stand here that you will be highly pleased for having turned ut to this meeting, because I have nown the Hon J. W. H. Eason, the aider of American Negroes for quite number of years. Therefore, I asse you that the gathering here will be inspiring and uplifting to the minds of the thinking people. And by God's help some day the great work to which the U. N. I. A. has started will be realised. (Applause.) Speaker B. T. Montgomery Speaks. Mr. President and Members of the U. N. I. A.: The new Negroes of today—400,000.- 800 strong—are seeking autonomy and recognition as other nationalities. Some hall this wonderful movement as a back to Africa movement. Why any one reading and understanding Mr. Garvey's plans will readily see in it the only possibilities for which the Negroes have been fighting for so long, backed by the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause.) It is only folly to think all the colored people should go back to Africa; it is only a rational and just desire to seek a place of respect among the races of the world (Loud applause.) Col. Adrain Johnson Speaks. Mr. President Ladies and Gentlemen of the Providence Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I am glad to speak to you again in so short a time. The great cause which I represent is the one cause that should be uppermost in the hearts of all patriotic, conscientious Negroes. The day has come, my friends, that the Negro must do for himself and quit begging. Mr. Garvey has caught the vision with 400,000,000 strong advancing forward with the cry, Africa must be free. (Loud applause.) We, the Negroes of the U. N. I. A., have caught the vision and rally to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause.) I have been to Africa, and know how our people are treated there under British rule, and know that some of them are in worse condition than slavery. And shall we sit idly by while the bloody hounds of hell carry on their selfish desires? No! Me thinks I hear the voices of 400,500,000 Negroes saying: "We will give our Money; we will give our aid and our life's blood if need be, for Africa shall be freed." (Prolonged applause.) Rev. Dr. Jacob S. Blake, President, Speaks. Officers, Members, Spectators, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have the high honor today to do what has never been done in Providence before. And that is to present to you the leader of the American Negroes, who was elected by the Negroes to represent them in these United States of America. No doubt others have been presented to you as the leader of the race heretofore. But they were "hand-picked" by the opposite race and forced upon you, whether you desired them to lead you or not, and you had no say at all about it. And let me say here that any leader that is picked to lead you by any other race will not lead you any higher than the race who picked his wants him to lead you. (Applause.) And I trust that every one of you who has any race pride at all will join in this great movement so to enhance the speedy progress of this wonderful cause. I now take great pleasure in presenting to you his Hon. Dr. J. W. H. Mason (standing, greeting the speaker with applause). Holl Dr. Keen Speaks 23rd President, College of Medicine, Mass. tators, Knockers, Ladies and Gentlemen; I am here today representing one of the greatest movements that was ever started by the Negro. His Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Providential President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, caught the spirit of the new Negro and is poised with that master mind to carry this great movement on to its present status. And he has been able in this length of time to inspire 400,000,000 Negroes to fall in line under the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause.) The old song about every nation has a flag but the coon has died and is buried. The thought that the Negroes can speak in or "think in terms of empire" is a starling one. We are not organised to harm other nations, however, but to keep them from harming us. (Applause.) The Negro has made up his mind that what is good for the white man is good for the Negro. (Applause.) If we can't get our rights here we'll sit a country of our own. (Prolonged applause.) We have started with that determination for nothing shorter than a redeemed Africa. One thing the Negro people make too much fuss over is dying, and what they are going to get then-starry crown, long, white robes and slippers, etc. What will you look like with a starry crown in heaven, and no hat at all to wear there? What do you know about weari-g a white robe and patches in the seat of your pants here? And silver slippers when you are bare-footed here and no shods at all? (Laughter and applause.) What the Negro wants to do is to prepare for living and dying will take care of itself. Dr Eason then pointed out the preambles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The establishment of universal confaternity of Negroes, assisting the backward tribes of Africa, setting up racial educational institutions and better conditions in Negro communities. A Negro factory corporation teaches production methods, while the Black Star Steamship Line trains members of the race in commerce.

To establish a universal confaternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to strengthen the nationalism of Independent Negro States in Africa; to establish commissionaries or agencies in the principal countries of the world for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to establish universities, colleges and schools for the racial education and culture of our young men and women; to conduct a worldwide commercial and industrial intercourse for the benefit of the race; to work for better conditions among our people; to promote industries and commerce for the betterment of Negroes. If these objects do not appeal to you, then you are dead to all sense of race pride and race manhood. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND AFRICAN COMMUNITIES' LEAGUE, Inc.

DAVIS ADDRESSES GREAT MASS MEETING IN FRISCO SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 11.—A banner time was in store for the people of San Francisco, when they wended their way to the Bethel A. M. E. Church, at Powell and Jackson streets, for it was here that the mass-meeting of the San Francisco branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, graced by the presence of Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, took place. The meeting was called to order by Brother Gopalu, master of ceremonies, after which the national hymn was sung, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" followed by prayer from the Rev. Goolaby, pastor of the church. The master of ceremonies thanked the audience for their appearance. He said in part: "This organization stands for the co-operation of all men of Negro blood, and for our industrial, commercial and financial betterment, ending in the culmination of a great African empire to the Negro race. I am sure that every heart is beating to hear Miss Davis, who comes to us as an ambassador from the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and who is a living exponent of Garveyism. I have had the opportunity of hearing her in many occasions, and I am sure that after hearing her you will go away from here, determined to be members of this association." Then followed a piano solo by Mr. Dorsey, after which the president of the San Francisco branch was introduced, who said in part, as follows: "I do not mean to say very much, but my appearance here is to show that I have identified myself with this great movement for Negro betterment. Thanks to Dr. Goolish for the church, and the the members and friends for their appearance. This is a New Year, 1921, just 57 years ago the Negroes of America were freed.

I hope that the message to be delivered tonight will so appeal to you, that at our next meeting we will have over 500 new members." Miss Davis was here introduced, the audience went wild in their ovation, and it was some time before she was able to speak. "Mr. chairman, president, officers and members and friends, I can assure you that I consider it a privilege, as well as a pleasure to speak in behalf of the great organization which represents the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. I want to congratulate you in having a division in your beautiful city of San Francisco. Two and a half years ago Mr. Garvey called together thirteen true and loyal persons, who formed the first division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, that we have grown immensely during this short time, proves that the new Negro has realized his own strength, proves that God, was in the midst of us. For years the Negro has been satisfied with the small position awarded him by the white man, but the world's great war came on the scene; we fought that the Negro should take his place in the world, not only as a race, but as a nation, with one alm, one God and one destiny, and the new Negro has arisen up, and answered the clarion call of Marcus Garvey, saying Marcus Garvey we are here four hundred million strong. Thirty-three years ago this boy was born of humble parentage in the beautiful island of Jamaica (the Isle of Springs) in the parish of St. Anna. As soon as he reached the years of reasoning he began to question why of things, he wanted to know why the black people was kept down and the white people exalted, and as he grew he began to delve further into the question, not only for himself, but for the four hundred million Negroes who inhabited the world. He traveled in Europe, Asia and Africa, then he came over to America to investigate. He saw the hideous prejudice hurted against the Negro all over the United States the lynching, Jim crowism and narcism in the South. Reasoning out those questions we birth to the Uni- THIS IS OF INTEREST To Every Negro Have you ever stopped to think of the thousands of definite spent daily by cultural people in a community like Ecuador, or any other community with a large cultural population? How much of the money gets back in your pocket is the way or easiest? How much, oh? How do you account for that? Easy enough when you stop to think that there are not enough businesses controlled and operated by cultural people in proportion to their numbers in any given community. If any one sent of the money spent by us only for commissions of every kind you spent among ourselves, do you realize the tremendous advantage the new would have? Of course, you can appreciate how far our economic brains would be affected. Now let us suppose that right here in Shiloh we had suddenly manufacturing the things that we must all purchase every day, and there is in which to sell them—do you realize what this would mean? Such a conflict would mean: (1) Employment for hundreds of colored men and women in every equally—some chemical and otherwise. NOW, THE REGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION has been organized to build, own and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa, in the interest of cultured people, for cultured people and to be run wholly by cultured people. DOES THIS PROGRAM APPEAL TO YOU? Very well, we must have money with which to build these factories and operate them. Already we have established A STREAM AND HARD LAUNDRY and a MILKERY STORE. THESE ARE ONLY EXPENSES. Now, while those good thoughts are uppermost in your mind, send in and let your alarms When you invest Five ($5.00) or Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) in the shares of stock it means that at the end of the financial year you will gather so much more money by way of dividends. If you want to make money, if you want to insure a better future, you will invest today, and right away now in the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION victorial Negro Improvement Association in New York, and the Negro everywhere, no matter where you were born, no matter who you are should come in and join this great movement for the establishing of a country, the making of a great movement for the establishing of a country, the making of a nation, and the floating of a flag—the Red, the Black and the Green. No matter what the Negro may say, there lies the guns of liberty in his heart, and the hope for freedom in the industrial and commercial world. Some of us try to get away from the race, but somehow or the other they always come back, as we all know one drop of Negro blood makes a white man a Negro. This organization takes in all Negroes. It teaches them that the Negro has the same hopes, the same aspirations as all other human beings, and no matter what they may say about Marcus Garvey, sooner or later they will be joining steps. This organization was not only founded for the purpose of amity and solidifying the race—not only for intellectual and social intercourse, but was mainly organised that we might redeem our motherland—Africa. The long has the white man exploited Africa, too long have we had a British South Africa, a French West Africa, and a Portuguese East Africa, but at last the New Negro has taken a determination, along with the small sections of the world, that we should have a civilization of our own. The diamond mines of Kimberly, the wonderful mine finds, the copper and vast natural resources to good enough for the white man and it is good enough for us on the New Negro is turning the eyes that way.

A. N. JONES. Ass't Secretary CONSUELO DIVISION HOLDS ANNIVERSARY DAY CFLEBRATION The Caneloulo Division celebrated their anniversary on Sunday evening, Dec. 12th. The building was tastily decorated. The large banner of the association with its motto was a fine piece of workmanship. At 7:18 p.m. the meeting commenced with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland to Ice Mountains," after which the Chaplain (lady) led in the prayer dedicated to the (U. N. I. A. Bro. Richard Marsh, agent of this section, made a few opening remarks, after which he introduced the Rev. D. E. Phillips, president of the Macoris Division. Upon taking the chair the President delivered a welcome address in which he delineated the aim, purpose and object of the U. N. I. A. and congratulated the Association on the celebration of its first anniversary. He then called upon Bro. Charles Henry of San Pedro de Macoris, one of the earliest organizers of this division, and now third vice-president, to present a report. This is the report read to the Division in San Pedro de Macoris on Dec. 17, 1920, stating the origin of the Association in the Republic. A neat little program arranged for the Connaught officers and members was then rendered, interspersed with a report by Bro. Marah and Sparing.

Brea. Joseph, the musician for the evening, spoke also. The Chairman, in his closing remarks stated what the Association has done since his election and the year in general. He informed the audience that great tasks were before them for the good of the Negro Race. He emphasised the fact that one year has come and is passin'. Another lifetime is before us to reach. It is the duty of every member to so work that the second anniversary shall find us numbering tens of thousands. He mentioned the existence of the Independence Episcopal Church with the Reverend Dr. McGuire, chaplain general of the U. N. I. A. as Dean, and that he has been commissioned to begin active work in the Republic. More details will be given after the convention of August 1st to 31st, 1921. The National Anthem of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, "Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Fathers," was then sung, thus bringing one of the most impressive, orderly, and inspiring Anniversary Day celebrations of the U. N. J. A. in this division to a close. Refreshments were once more served as grand as on the former occasion. By a Correspondent. DR. EASON·ADDRESSES BROCKTON U. N. I. A Brockton takes pleasure in reporting the presence of His Excellency Dr. J. W. H. Eason and his secretary, Mr. Prendergast of the Black Star Line, to speak on us on Libertian possibilities. A mass meeting was held in Clark's Hall on the nights of January 17 and 18, and one on the following night at 32 Franklin street, the meeting place of the division. Dr. Eason couldn't reach here in time to speak on the night of the 13th, this gave us an opportunity to hear the courageous Colonel Adrian Johnson. He spoke with striking interest, dealing carefully and instructively, with the aims and purposes of the organization, and left a lasting impression upon Brockton regarding his knowledge, zeal, courage and determination. Mr. Prendergast also spoke on the value of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the 400,000,000 Negroes in the world and their duties toward it. He, too, shall always be remembered here. Then came Dr. Eason, the matchless orator. He spoke the night of the 18th in Clark's Hall, and on the last night at our meeting place. Of course, everybody knows it is impossible to give even a small estimate of the doctor's speech unless the recorder can record every word, and even this wouldn't do. Porens would have to hear him themselves. All Brockton can say is: "He has shed great light of the value of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on her." In his lectures everybody felt that he had filled their need of information, knowledge, courage and hope regarding our struggling race, which is working day and night to become a large and great nation. He left us believing that we shall see our great and honorable President-General Marcus Garvey here in the near future, and we are looking forward to that great day. We have made and are making new members through the influence he left us here, and already our division has taken on new life, and is looking forward to a rich growth soon. Thanking you is advance for your invaluable news space, we beg to remain. Yours sincerely, BROCKTON, MASS., DIVISION. Per J. W. Sweaty, secretary. 19 Williams street, Brockton, Mass. Jan. 22. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1921 IMPRESSIONS Just recently, while off the beaten path, as one sometimes in, I casually drifted into a little affair held at a well-known social centre in the vicinity of 1658 street. North Harlem, just around 13:09 P. M. I perceived on the right wing in a box seat at same place six vamps, or whatever one calls them. They were, in the language of the street, "high yallaha," two of the male species and four of the female species, and as I saw their antics I began to get interested. I drew a little closer, and one of the female species exclaimed: "What in h— did w come up here for?" Whereupon one of the others of her kind replied: "Aln't you know we came up here to enjoy ourselves," and a third capped the climax by explaining to the second speaker, "I knew it." The while their two chaperons listened to the conversation with that broad, vacant smiles. Just then the thought occurred that if these six members of my race had had a sound elementary education, or at least part of it, before they started to climb the "social arena" they would not have been at that moment in the midst if that wise adage: "Where ignorance is bliss, its folly to be wise." I do not comment on this kind of a topic unless I have the inspiration, and the above are facts as they really occurred. Star Gazing While attending business in the downtown section of the city, in the vicinity of Broadway and Barclay street, I saw in the distance a well-dressed colored gentleman, neck bent back and eyes fixed skyward. As I got within speaking distance I gave by way of inquiry, "Pardon me, sir, but why the steady celestial gaze?" Whereupon he informed me that he was not gazing at things celestial, but on things terrestrial—some of New York's famous "skycraper." On learning this, our conversation grew rather personal, and I learned of him that he was well acquainted with conditions affecting Negroes all over the habitable globe, as well as our own "sunny little south." I then inquired of him what impressions did he get from viewing New York's wonderful "skycraper." He replied: "My impressions are varied and many." We then, trying not to obstruct pedestrians, went along, he discussing and I confirming the possibilities of viewing such buildings in Africa, or buildings of their equal, in the very distant future, but in the near future, by the organized financial, physical and moral help of Negroes. The Croker Air Line. While reading the daily papers of January 19 I came across the report: "Mr. Croker of the. Croker Air Line Co. had been planning to make his escape with $30,000 of the stockholders' money, and had been stopped before his departure." Close readers of The Negro World will recall the controversy carried on through the columns of The Negro World by one of its correspondents and Mr. Croker concerning the soundness of his proposition. The Negro World must be commanded for its impartial stand on the matter. It carried in its columns sound and logical facts written by one of its correspondents disapproving the statements made by Mr. Croker in his advertisements, and it also carried Mr. Croker's reply, which was that of a man skillfully defending his interest. Assuming that the report in the daily papers is true, it only goes again to remind one that if one must invest, first investigate thoroughly, use one's judgment and then invest. This, however, should not dampen the Negro's ardor by preventing him from investing, but should to-1 to make him more cautious in going after such propositions, the foundations of which are not very obvious or sound.

EGRO WORLD, SATURDAY HOW EUROPEAN O DISPORTS The Editor of The Negro World: I thank my God for the opportunity of coming across your valuable and highly esteemed journal The Negro World, in which I find matters of interest to the Negro as a whole are taken up by our God-sent Brotheren, His Excellency, The President General of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L., Marcus Garvey and his various co-workers. I feel I will be guilty of the baser ingrinitude (to my race and brother) which caused the Almighty to reduce the term of man's existence while in this world from 969 years to 70 years, in allowing this opportunity to pass away, without bringing to notice through your columns to the wide world, some of the sufferings experienced on this side of the globe by us. Although a young man of 50 odd years of age, I believe I could venture to confirm the sayings of my superiors, "Ethiopia will rise." Yes she is indeed rising today. There have been reasons for regurgitating sometimes of our existence, caused by the many inconsiderate actions and treatments meted us by our override the white man; yet I believe and that very rightly too, that the time is coming when we Negroes one day will be relieved from the many disadvantages and open face wrongs done to us by the white men which wrongs and disadvantages when reported to the right authorities are given practically no consideration whatever. Under the consideration one is compelled to bodily say, that, to report a white man in Nigeria for wrongs done to the black man, to his, the white man's, authorities will simply be summoning the Devil and holding the court in Hell. It is needless, narrating the various treatment black men are bound to undergo from the white men, especially those employed by the government and the more so those in the Administrative section. These are called Political Officers. (Not to mention the fact that in a place like the Protectorate of Nigeria, Political Officers, who are merely Magistrates in the colonies of the Coast, have been empowered by the white man's Criminal Code of law to judge and condemn and sentence a man to death, although there are the Chief BOO By the Late B Arms and Methods of a Liberal B Author.

These two Organizations are endeavoring to do everything to help our poor race, and they have become so popular with the people that fakers seize the opportunity of exploiting the people by falsely representing themselves as agents of these Organizations. One man (GROVER READING) for several months lied to the people all over the country that he was a representative of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION and took thousands of dollars from the poor people, claiming that he was to send them to Abyssinia. God being not asleep, this man, who exploited the poor of our race, has just been SENTENCED TO BE HANGED IN CHICAGO. Another man (J. M. GEORGE), who has been at large for several months fleecing the poor people, selling them bogus stock in the name of the Black Star Line Corporation, and taking subscriptions for the "Negro World," has been caught in Danville, Virginia, where he fleeced the poor people in that town by selling them fake, stock. He is now going under the aliases of WILLIAMS, JOHN GEORGE and ARTHUR GEORGE, SERVING A SELECTION OF SIXTY DAYS IN JAIL AND A FINE OF $250. Other warrants are out for him. It does not pay to rob the Negro. FAKE AGENTS BEWARE!!! YOU MAY BE NEXT. IT PAYS TO BE HONEST. Justice and his assistants, the Attorney General and Solicitor General, I. e. all existing and in office.) In the generality of cases, these youngsters. Political Officers, and their assistants, after feeling themselves greatly honored, i.variably get it in them, thereby treating the black man as they like. It is a treat to meet the majority of this class of men especially when out of sight of what could be called civilization. One would never believe that these are the very men who worry sometimes the Colonial Office in England for a job in Africa. As some of them find it difficult in getting a job in their own country (England); and succeeding in obtaining one in Africa, the Black Man's country, and are sent out yearly to better their circumstances, they often forget themselves, by trying to make themselves some sort of God on earth among us. The Protectorate of Nigeria as it is called today has past a full 20 years of solid Negro oppression in every shape and form from these overcrowd, the white men. For instance, the poor and loss favoured brethren here have been made to undergo straining hardships called taxation. I will just point out a few. 1. The cutting of ordinary bamboo poles from the bush for poling canoes without a license is a crime. 2. The cutting of wood (fuel) from the bush without a license to cut, and a royalty paid on the quantity, is another serious crime. 3. The howling of timbers for native canoe-making without paying some tax, which is always a heavy one, is a criminal offence. 4. The catching of fish without paying an animal tax is another serious crime. 5. The failing to go down to the ground on meeting a white man on the road, and of falling also to shout out in the Housera tongue, "Lakilo" (which means a lion) is very aggravating to the white man, and all such offenders are seriously punished either by fine or flogging. 6. The segregation of whites from blacks in other parts I cannot say; but that of Nigela's Protectorate is purely and simply a game in the wind, for whereas black men are being kept E. W.

(DING) for several months lied to that he was a representative of the away from the white man to a considerable distance on one hand, you see on the other, our sisters, the pride of our race, meeting in common in these white men's bungalows and in common with the white men themselves by night as well as by day. Therefore segregation on this side of the globe is for the male sex but not for the female sex. All these and feelings rising in me, resulted in my oftentimes being compelled to ask the Almighty God in prayer, is this European Civilization, and how long will these troubles last? After taking into serious consideration, our multifarious sufferings and hardship, from the white man in the Protectorate of Nigeria, is en obliged to go on his or her knees in silent prayer to the Almighty God, repeating instantly the fifth chapter of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, that is just our condition here. Nevertheless, we still have hope and look forward with earnest belief that some time to come these Lakers (Lions) of Nigeria will meet together with the harmless sheep on the pathways unmolested and unhurt. The Declaration of Rights, which I was so privileged to go through in the issue of September 11 of the Negro World, made my heart dance with joy, and hasten the day of its coming into operation. This Declaration of Rights has signaled the coming of the full redemption of the down-trodden Negroes: never mind as I do enjoy from some that "Oh those Negroes cannot rule." Time will tell. In conclusion, Dear Mr. Editor, kindly extend to the President General, His Excellency, Marcus Garvey and his coworkers, my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for the marvelous and gigantic duties and responsibilities that WANT DOCTORS OF C THE WONDERFUL DRUG We have student, enrolled from North America, West Indies and Africa.
