I write to you because I desire to say good-bye for a while. I have gone on a tour of Central and South America and the West Indies to the branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League in those parts to convey the message of hope which I have been preaching to you in these United States of America for the last three and a half years. I will be gone for a few weeks, to return to you with the message of love and affection which the people of South and Central America and the West Indies hold for you on this side of the Atlantic. I go to the people in those parts of the world because I desire them to do their bit in the great effort of redeeming our Motherland Africa. Africa, as you know, is beckoning to the 400,000,000 scattered sons and daughters who have been sojourning away from her tropical clime for 300 years. Today, more than ever, we must answer the call of Africa. In the freedom of the Motherland will come the liberation of the Negro people everywhere. If we must throw off lynchings and burnings, and peonage and serfdom; if we must throw off social ostracisement and political limitations, we must build up a government; we must have a nation of our own. Africa offers the opportunity for the building of such a nation. Hence, I am asking Negroes everywhere to concentrate upon the one great ideal of a free and redeemed Africa. In going to South and Central America and the West Indies I know I shall meet millions of our fellow men who are anxiously awaiting the day when the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall send the clarion call around the world for Action—the Action that shall tear asunder the shackles that have bound Mother Africa for 500 years. Men of the south of America; Men of the north of America. I ask that you prepare yourselves for that great and glorious day when Africa shall stretch forth her arms to receive her returning sons and daughters. It may be NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921 AL PRESIDENT BANDS STIRRING FROM MID-ATLAS YOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA G FOR GREAT CONV true that we are now without a country, that we are without a real established government; but who can tell that the next five years, or the next ten or twenty years, will not mean freedom and liberty for every Negro in the world. I want you men to take courage, make up your minds and stick by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League; support this organization, as also its auxiliary, the Black Star Line. Give them all the financial aid they need; boost them here, there and everywhere. Be assured that by supporting the Universal Negro Improvement Association you shall rise to power and thereby merit the respect of the races and nations of the world. In three years we have built up an organization of 4,000,000 souls scattered throughout the United States of America, the West Indies, South and Central America and Africa. In another three years we hope to have 25,000,000 members, and still in another few years we hope to have within our fold the 400,000,000 souls who are created in the image of God Almighty and who are numbered as sons and daughters of Africa. Let your determination for 1921 and all succeeding years be that of fighting for the liberation of your Motherland. Let Africa be the goal day in and day out; let us work all the time until Africa is free. We can free Africa by joining the Universal Negro Improvement Association and by buying shares in the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation and helping this big Negro enterprise to float more ships. The shares of the corporation are sold at $5 each, and each and every Negro can buy from two to two hundred shares. Let us all in 1921 make up our minds to subscribe the full capital of the Black Star Line so that we can buy new and bigger ships to convey us and our materials to our own Homeland Africa, where we will work for the building up of a civilization that will compel the respect of mankind everywhere.

We are preparing for a grand and glorious time in the forthcoming convention which will be held in New York from the 1st of the 31st of August. Again delegates will come from all parts of the world—from Africa, Antelope Asia, South and Central America, the West Indies, and the forty-eight States of the Union. The convention of this year promises to eclipse the one of last year, so that we are now engaged in preparing the minds of the people everywhere for this great event. As you read my message this week I am asking you to send in to the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, at West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A., and secure more shares. Let us put this job over; let the world cup for once that the Negro has been able to start something and has been able to make a success of it; let us not fail in this great cause we have before us. We must now realize that we are living in a tremendous active age, a time when men see, not through the spectacles of sympathy, but demand that each and every one measure up in proportion to the world's demand for service. We must be active in demonstrating to the world and to mankind so large that we are able to cope with the situations that arise front us. Now that the world is readjusting itself and the political limits are being changed for the purpose of satisfying the disgruntled sets of humanity, we, the nation our stand and demand that Africa, our ancestral home, be given back to us as our political heritage. Prepare, ye men, for a great day is in store, when the races will clash, in the majesty of their might, to demonstrate the prowess of the one that is fit to protect Whatsoever happens to the world, let the Negro prove the courage; let the Negro prove the mettle he is made of. ot Fee. peoples of the world like a religion and swept over the world like wildfire. Garvey has made articulate the unexpressed thoughts and the pent-up feeling of millions of black men and women who have groaned under the heavy yoke of color prejudice and caste proscrip- tion and who have desired to be estimated for their worth as men and somes rather isa by the color of their skin and the texture of their Dr. Hartt again says of Garveyism: “It means that the Negro is drawing away {rem the white race.” The exploitation of Africa and the attempt of the Caucasian race to club into submission those men and women of color, who would not tamely submit to the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington, who had a valuable industrial pro- gram, but belittled the higher aspirations of race and their striv- ings for citizenship shook the faith of the Negro considerably in the wisdom and justice of the Caucasian. Then the attempt of Mr. Vil- lard to make and unmake Negro leaders and set one on a pedestal as the ony black God shook this faith still more. To win again the confidence of the Negro peoples of the world the Caucasians must give them some of that freedom, liberty, humanity and democracy which they were waxing so eloquent about two, three and jour years ago and for which black heroes shed their blood in France, Flanders and ore We Dr. Hartt for hia fair and discerning analysis of Garveyism.

A LESSON IN POLITICS. HE Bronx and Manhattan Non-Partisan and Citizens Union I of New York City sent a letter which was signed by Eugene McIntosh to President-elect Warren G. Harding recently re- [questing that he appoint a colored man as a member of his official family. The letter concluded: “Who can contend that the Negro by ability, loyalty and sacrifice is not entitled to a place in the council of this nation?” Now the Negro's valor as a soldier in the world war, hig re- sponse to the selective draft, his generous buying of Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, his generous subscriptions to the war chest and the marvelous intellectual and financial progress that he has made during the past fifty years shows that he is entitled to some recognition at the hands of the government. He ought at least to be reappointed to alt of the Federal positions at home and abroad which he heid when Governor Woodrow Wilson entered-the White House eight years ago. But we do not believe that the Negro has evolved to the point in the country’s regard where he has a chance to 2 seat in the President’s cabinet. Consider some of the men who are slated for the Cabinet. Mr. Mellon of Pennsylvania is worth two or three hundred millions in his own right and is the controlling force in corporations whose ag- gregate wealth is two billion dollar, Mr. Hughes was Governor of New York and Justice of the Supreme Court and was the Re- publican nominee for the Presidency in the campaign of 1916 Mr. Hoover 28 Food Administ?stor during the world war was an inter- national figure. We may have men in the Negro race equal to these in ability. But have we any equal in financial, social, legal and political prestige and standing? Usually a man gets a Cabinet posi- tion not because he seeks it, but because he is sought for because of his ability, experience and national prestige and standing. We were children in politics fifty years ago, but we should-not be children now, with alt of our opportunities for education and business experience, and should strive to be taken seriously. The best way for a colored man to secure a political honor dr position is not to ask for it because he is colored, but because ho% worthy of the position and in the position would not be a liability, but an asset to the administration. And then it could be added en passant that his being appointed to such and such a position would he recognition of the race with which he ia identified and would en-| courage the race in its upward striving. Don’t ask for special privi- leges and exemption because you are colored, but for opportunity and recognition betsusc you are men. The world admires manhood, whether clothed in white, yellow, brown, copper colored or = garb. * Then, too, never ask for a position for a colored man in general, but for some one colored man in particular. Instead of asking tl some colored man, not mentioned, be appointed to a position because he is colored, ask that Mr. So and So be appointed to a position be- cause he is capable-of filling it and in addition draws some water in the political, educational or commercial world, Emerson said “Hitch your wagon to a star,” but he also said "Have a measure.” It is well, though, for colored men to have political ambitions. With colored men winning their spurs as bankers, business then, lawyers, scholars and editors, it will only be a ques- tion of time when colored men will be big enough in the world’s re- gard not only to become an assistant to a member of the President's Cabinet as Hon, W. H. Lewis was, but to sit around the council able itself. If the Negro race is to secure its due recognition in American politics it must root out completely the Booker T. Washington con- empt for educated Negroes. Untrained and undisciplined minds annot compete with disciplined and trained minds. Braggadosia jad bravado cannot match brains. A bushwhacker can raise a shout 5.8 camp meeting, but the Negro race needs as political and racial eaders mett who are well equipped intellectually and who possess he intelligence and manliness to command the respect of the brainy eaders of other races, : ed x THE INDEPENDENT ON MARCUS GARVEY.

MYSTEROUS agency seems to be at work in the National capitol, uprooting and turning over things in Howard: Uni- versity. In the past two years two deans and the secretary ‘of the medical schoo! have been demoted, two other deans and one teacher have sent in their resignations; another teacher, a winner of the Rhodes scholarship, and another teacher, a winner of the Spin- gan medal, have been lectured by the president. The dean of the law school resigned. A committee to reorganize the school was ap- pointed, but the dean who had taught forty years and two colored teachers who had taught thirty years in the Howard University law school were not appointed on the Reorganizing Committee. One professor who had taught in the law school for thirty years and who had served as librarian for twenty years was removed as librarian, It is said that a young man who graduated from the law school of 1911, who is a government clerk and has had ttle practice at the bar, but who is reported to be engaged to the daughter of the tonsorial artists of the White House, was appointed as professor, secretary, librarian and press agent of the law school. ‘What means these amazing changes? Those familiar with con- ditions in the great university on the hill are aware that Howard University was not a perfectly healthy organism, but it was not a diseased organism. It was not in the shape of an ulcerated tooth which needed pulling, but a slightly decayéd=tooth which needed a little boring and filling. It needed a little ditting and a little medi- cine, but not the numerous surgical operations which it has expe- rienced during the past two years. And of all the departments, the law school least of all needed re- organizing. In Dean Benj. F. Leighton, Prof. Wm. H. Hart and Prof. Wm. H. Richards the school has three teachers who are learned in the law, are masters of the art of expression and are imbued with the ideals which have given the university prestige and standing. Judge Augustus D. Straker, Hon. John C. Napier and Hon. John H. Smythe, US. Minister to Liberia, and many other Negroes who have attained success in the legal, political and educational worlds graduated from the Howard University law school, | Howard University was established by the Congress of the United States as a school for the education of youth in liberal arts and science. Its charter so characterizes it, Jt is rumored that its) ‘standards for admission have been lowered and that graduates from Southern industrial schools have an easy time getting in the profes- sional schools and the college. A president of another Negro uni- versity is reported to,have said, “What is the matter with Howard University? She is taking students we have turned down.” Tt is for the alumni and friends of the historic school to de- termine whether Howard University is to remain a university or a stage in the evolution of an industrial school. In an age with so many perplexing international, political, economic, industrial, social and racial problems preasing for solution, the Negro race needs not half-baked leaders, but leaders with trained and'well-equipped minds, and perhaps Howard University wilt never come into ite, awn and realize its destiny as a university, tmtil a man of color of Vision and courage, a broad-gayged man, sits on the throne and directs affairs on the university hill. 7 cS RT.

"If we have achieved nothing else during the three years of our work as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we have at least waked up South Africa to a consciousness of itself." Thus spoke the Hon. Marcus Galvey, Provisional President-General of Africa, at the farewell meeting held here tonight before a most notable gathering of officers, member and friends of the U. N. I. A. This assertion was made by Mr. Garvey immediately after quoting from The Black Man: a South African publication, which, he said, representing the view of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is The Negro World of that section of the Dark Coutinent. Continuing he said, "The white man's rule of the world has been a mere bluff, that the white man had bluffed our forefathers, but that he can no longer bluff the new Negro: that the white man must now 'come across with' the goods' and lay his cards on the table and prove his so-called superiority to other races." The meeting was the climax of a day of extraordinary efforts on the part of the U. N. I. A. in Harlem, its officers and members, under the direction of Mr. O. M. Thompson, first vice-president of the Black Star Line, in concluding the big drive that had been conducted now more than six weeks for the purpose of selling shares in the Black Star Lite and in raising subscriptions to the Liberian Construction Loan. It was more like a family reunion than anything else. The Provisional President-General, who was in fine voice, delivered his farewell address in characteristic fashion, adding new laurels to his oratorical reputation by the persuasive force and power of his eloquence. With him on the platform were seated officers of the High Executive Council, including Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis; International Organizer; Hon. Wilford H. Smith, Counsellor General; Hon. W. C. Matthews, Assistant Counsellor General; Rev. Dr. F. Wileom Ellegor, High Commissioner General; Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, Chancellor, and Mr. J. S. De Bourg, leader of the British West Indies. Although admission to the meeting was fifty cents, it was a record-breaking attendance, everyone being eager to see and hear the Provisional President-General for the last time prior to his departure on his extended trip south in the interests of the U. N. I. A. An elaborate musical program was rendered by the Black Star Line band and the U. N. I. A choir, to each member of which much credit is due for the splendid effort put forth under the direction, respectively, of Prof. Wm. Isles and Prof Arnold Ford, Mesdames Barrier-Houston and Fraser-Robinson being the soloists. Mr. Garvey, who presided, made a vigorous appeal before delivering his main speech for the purchase of shares in the Black Star Line and the subscription for bonds for the Liberian Construction Loan. This, in conjunction with the addresses delivered by the other speakers, resulted in a large number from the audience coming forward and responding, so that Mr. Garvey and the members of the High Executive Council were greatly pleased with the results of the day, pronouncing the drive or campaign a big success. During the course of the evening an envelope containing a substantial sum is given to Mr. Garvey as coming from the members and friends of the association as a mark of their personal esteem and appreciation of him as the founder and organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and his loyalty and devotion to it and the cause it represents, the presentation having been made in a beautiful and appropriate address by the Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, Chancellor. A handsome basket of flowers also was given him. These presentations visibly affected Mr. Garvey; he was overcome with emotion and agreeable surprise, and in a few words expressed his sincere appreciation of the kind remembrance. At the close of the speechmaking-rousing cheers were given both Mr. Garvey and Miss Henrietta Vinton Davia, international organiser, the cheering literally rocking the building and resounding far outside its walls. This was followed by cries of "Bon Voyageil" and "Au Revoir!" to both from hundreds of their personal friends in the audience, who at the close of the meeting marched up to the speaker platforms an- shook Miss Davis and Mr. Garvey by the hand, extending to them a last "Good-bye!" and "Good luck to you!" coupled with best wishes for a pleasant trip and their safe return. Mr. Gervay expects to be away about six weeks, returning to Liberty Hall April 1. During his absence he will send a cable weekly to the U. N. L. A. assembled in Liberty Hall in time to be read by the presiding officer at the regular Sunday night meeting, in which he will summarize the work accomplished, at whatever point or place he sees. He urges everyone to keep up the work. Liberty Hall will continue attending his meetings, and not fall, by busy means at the same time not refraining from their social and occupational life. grand and glorious work of the U. X. L A. and in spreading its propaganda for the enlisting of additional recruits for the ultimate accomplishment of the arm—the redemption of Africa. The addresses made by the other speakers made a fine background for the principal address of the evening, delivered by Mr. Garvey, and the different manner in which each treated what he had to say added variety and spirit to the meeting. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis made a short address in which she said it was with regret that she had to make another departure from. Liberty Hall for a period of several weeks, but that she hoped to accomplish much good for the cause and to return with a report of encouragement. The Counsel General, Hon. Willford H. Smith, and the Assistant Counsel, Hon. W. C. Matthews, though able and practiced lawyers, spoke a little ally at first in their remarks, strung to say; yet, after warming up, began to feel as much at home, in addressing their auditors as in standing before a jury pleading the cause of one of their clients. Hon. Smith added that with twelve million dollars by the United States THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921 we could easily subscribe to the $100,000,000 capital stock of the Black Star Line and thus make possible the launching of the necessary ships to put over successfully the work of the U. N. L. A. in Africa. The profits to be made in trade with Africa, he said, are stupendous, inconceivable, and we should be willing to give our financial support to such enterprises as the Black Star Line and the U. N. L. A. in order that we might obtain our share of that trade. Concluding, that if we could subscribe $25,000,000 toward the U.S. Navy to help West Africa, England and the United States in world war and receive in return continued lynching and burning of our people, we could certainly oversubscribe the capital stock of the Black Star Line. The Rt. Hon. High Commissioner, the Rev. Dr. W. P. Eligier, emphasized the fact of the growth of the U. N. L. A. since its inception and the great progress it had made during its comparatively brief career. Some people, Laud, are always waiting for opportunities to present themselves; yet when the opportunity comes they are no ready to embrace it. The great opportunity that we as a people have is the opportunity to support with our money as well as by our indemnation and approval the work of the U. N. I. A., and this he encouraged and urged everyone to do, so that we can link up the trade to be derived from Africa with the people of the United States, the West Indies and other parts of the world. Mr. William Matthews, assistant counsellor, whose speech was the first he had made in Liberty Hall since his election last August at the great convention of the U. N. I. A. and the comparison of the U. N. I. A. and the Pilgrim Fathers, who in 1620 left the shores of England and sailed on the "Mayflower" to found and establish a house in the New World in order that they might be able to enjoy religious and civic freedom. But, unlike the Pilgrim Fathers, we would not have to endure the hardships they endured, for we would have no savages or Indians to fight, but would be received by our kindred people, who with outstretched arms, would be waiting to welcome and receive us, and in a country whose climate, soil, vegetation, mineral wealth, etc., excel that of any other continent on the globe. In closing he said that the day when the "Phyllis Wheatley" and the "Tarmouth" clear the port of New York for their initial voyage to Africa in the interests of the U. N. I. A. should be made memorable by every colored man and woman as marking the beginning of a new and brighter era in the history of our people the era of the redemption of Africa. The High Chancellor, Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, spoke from a prepared address, which was one of compliment personally to the Provisional President-General, he acting as spokesman for all the members and friends of the New York local division of the U. N. I. A. he recounted Mr. Garvey's efforts in founding the U. N. I. A.; told how the idea had originated in the latter's brain while a native of Jamaica before coming to this country; traced the case- Specialist for 25 Years In part is due to the careful examination I make in every case, aided by the latest diagnostic appliances.

A. citation's growth up to the present, and said that Mr. Garvey had won a warm place in the hearts of all our people everywhere-because of the good work he has done and is doing for their benefit as a race through the instrumentality of the U. N. I. A. and as the leader of the movement. Then follow the presentation also handed to Mr. Garvey himself of Friends and members of the association as a concrete token of personal appreciation of his efforts. Mr. Garvey therupon delivered his farewell speech. This was listened to with rapt attention and elicited frequent applause. His reference in particular to the article quoted in "The Black Man," to the effect that the claim on the part of the white people of South Africa that South Africa is theirs, is regarded by native South Africans as propestorous, absurd, a doctrine to which they can never subscribe; that branches of the U. N. I A. are now established all over Africa, so that everywhere on the continent the deocrines of the U. N. I A. are known and supported by native Africans; that the native people in accord in holding that there can never be a white South Africa, as claimed and advocated by Generals Botha and Simmuts; that the U. N. I A. having awakened South Africa to a consciousness of itself, could wake up hell also; that through the increase the principle of the U. N. I A. the white man has been accused to a sense of appreciation of his own danger in endeavoring wrongly to appropriate Africa for himself. These and other points made by Mr. Garvey in his speech, all interwoven with his immittible ridicule, scorn and cacasm and spoken with a fervent and fire of expression as a coming fire and dexpression from the molten, flaming lava sent forth from a volcano in a state of eruption, produced a most favorable and pleasing effect upon his hearers. All in all the meeting was a most enthusiastic and inspiring one, as well as quite unique, being in every way in keeping with the occasion of honoring the Provisional President-General upon his departure to far-distant lands and cities in the work of promoting the interests of the greatest organization in the world among Negroes.

I leave you with a deep feeling of regard; but I must go where duty calls me. It is not the first time that I have been called upon to leave you, and as I have had the good fortune to return to you safely before, I hope in leaving you now that I shall again have the good fortune to return to you in a few months. It has been planned that I should stay even longer than the Providential President of Africa in the Southland—in the land of sunshine; in the land that I love—the land put far from the Equator. There my duties shall its for the next two or three months. I shall endeavor to accomplish those duties in the future as I have in the past. When I signed the Declaration of Rights for the Negro peoples of the world, I signed it with my whole heart and my whole strength and my whole being. I did not do it lightly; I did not do it as a matter of play; but I held my whole life upon the altar of my people and I am ready at any time to sacrifice that life in the defence or for the benefit of the Negro peoples of the world. I was guarded with a very deep feeling; possibly it does not appear upon the surface; just as the deep rivers flow slowly onward towards the sea, so I would rather show my trust in my people—my faith in you and my duty towards you by my deeds than by my words. I shall carry with me always as I have in the past, the memory of the vast assemblies that crowd Liberty Hall night after night to get the inspiration from this great building. I shall carry with me the spirit of Liberty Hall—that admirable spirit of earnestness, of self-scriffion; that spirit of courage, that spirit of never bailing in your duty when you are called upon to do it. Witness the crowd around the table (the speaker had reference to the large number of people who elude membership to bonds or buying shares in the Black Star Line); you have subscribed time and time again for shares in the Black Star Line; that is because you have faith in the Black Star Line; you have faith in your most remarkable leader, the Hon.

Men and women of Liberty Hall remember this: It is your work, the work we have planned out to do as the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and if you want the work done you must support it. There is nobody here too poor not to subscribe for at least one share in the Black Star Line; there is no man or woman in Liberty Hall tonight who is not able to subscribe for at least one bond for the Librarian Construction Loan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you cannot pay all the money in cash now pay what you can, and make part payments on the balance. Do this rather than keep your money tied up in the white man's bank, where he uses it not for your benefit but for his own, not for your protection and benefit but to help keep you down and in a state of industrial and economic servitude. The Exploitation of South Africa. Mr Garvey in his closing address began by reading an extract taken from a publication entitled "The Black Man." of South Africa, which he said, was a "terrorist" town division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Said Mr. Garvey It is the Negro World of South Africa. (Applause.) I am sorry Mr. Platze is not here tonight. Since he left Africa the Africans have thrown away their prayerbooks and have taken up something else. I will not tell you what just now (laughter), but as an indication of the new spirit of the South African, as inspired from the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I will read to you a news item from "The Black Man." South Africa (as you know) was regarded, and probably is still regarded as the worst spot in the world for Negroes; worse than the Southern States, where the Negro has been regarded as an animal, a host of burden. The white people there, the Boers and the British and the Dutch, have absolutely no respect for Africa. They brutish them; they muzzle them; they do everything to them, and nothing has been said about it until the Universal Negro Improvement Association got into South Africa. (Applause.) These men, who probably had lost hope and courage for years and years, have within recent months found new hope and new courage and gathered new faith; and the editor of the paper I have mentioned he is now waging an active campaign throughout South Africa to prepare the people at that end, just 1 General Smuin as you know, is the successor of General Bohne. General Bohne stood for a white South Africa, and he bequeathed the heritage of that desire to General Smuin, and he should now use only for a white South Africa, but for a white world. He has been conceived his politics and his political campaigns as the policy of a white South Africa, and recently he published and told many things about South Africa as to that country being a white power country, and what I believe he should be edited by the president of the Case-Town Division of the U. M. L. A. is in reply to General Smuin's propaganda: 'General Smuin's policy of white South Africa. We are prepared to respond, to General Smuin's appeal. But we will not permit him to catch votes our expense. White South Africa can never be! (Applause.) It is ridicules for the leader of the white population of one million to talk of white South Africa, irrespective of the seven million blacks who own the country. (Applause.) We must put it plain to General Emuus (laughter) that this country is not a white man's country; it belongs to the black man. (Renewed applause.) We agree that the white race should live side by side with us until (listen!) we can be in position to hold our own (laughter and applause), but we are afraid that if it is the policy o, the Constitutionalists to make our country white, we shall not wait for that time to mature. (Applause). It shall be compulsory for us to dispute the white man's claim to Africa by every possible means." (Applause.) Now, the Negro World of the Universal Negro Improvement Association speaking right in the heart of South Africa; and if we have achieved nothing else during the three years of our campaign we have at least waked up South Africa to the consciousness of itself. You people in Liberty Hall are the ones who have done it (applause), and if you could awaken South Africa you can wake up hell itself (Renewed deafening applause). You have not only waked up South Africa, but you have waked up the white man himself, coinciding with danger. I will now read you what a white man says on this subject. It an article published under the editorial column of the Negro World of South Africa. The caption to the article is, "Warns against wars of the races. Speaker says economic imperialism must go." "The policy of economic imperialism of the past, if continued during the rebuilding of the world, will bring on a world war between the white and colored races within the next generation, and destroy the chance of the white races to rule the world. Dr. Blank, correspondent of the New York Times in Switzerland during the war and student of international countries, declared in an address before the Industrial Association of Colleges Men at Hotel) ..... on February 15: The way is open to you. You can have anything you want, everything in the business world, but do not do business anywhere in China, Mexico, South America, Africa or Asia, unless you take your heart there, else that will mean death to the next generation. Dr. Buckle says that the "big stick" won't work any more in the world." You know what the doctor means by the "big stick." He means that bluff won't work any more. That is what I told you before, the white man's rule of the world has been bluff. He bluffed our fathers and our forefathers, but he will have a hard time bluffing the new Negro. (Great applause.) He will have to "come across with the goods" now. He will have to lay down his superiority on the table. He will have to prove it. That white man is wise; he is sensible, because we have been telling them in South Africa and in West Africa and those Canadians who are going down there, that "you are only going to carry out a course of philanthropy; you are only giving away what you can hardly afford now." Those white people want down to South Africa, built up the country, and those South Africans had the sense to allow them to stay there until the place is looking so beautiful now that they say, "It is ours." Who said the African had an interest? (Laughter.) The African is the most sensible being in the world; a man who was satisfied to wait for five hundred years to get what he wants is "some man!" and Negro is the only man who has the sense to allow them to be his wants. We have had patience on this side of the Atlantic for three hundred years, suffering the white man's slavery, withstanding his abuse, and suffering the torture of his lynching and burning us, without even uttering a cry. But they never knew why (speaking ironically). Another ten years will tell them why; we were just looking on, and waiting for the opportunity, the chance, and the chance is coming now; the whole world has gone red. Black and Green! (Great applause.) Now, if Africa can be "going so strong, and I haven't get 'thee yet, when I get there how will it be? (Applause and laughter.) The West Indies and Panama. Now, men, I am going to leave you for a while. I am going to to the West Indies, to Central America, and will be there for about five or six we are speaking in the interests of our movement. We have hundreds of branches, Costa Rica and Panama of the United Gro Improvement Association. Panama did aplenty for us when we launched the idea of the Black Star Line. Panama is preparing to do a hundred times more now. (Cheera.) To put over the Black Star and the Liberian Lost City has already gone over the top, but Cuba has already gone to me in Havana alone they have waited $19,000 waiting for the first night. I arrive there for the Celebration Day. I believe I can speak only one language in Havana, but they have asked me asking for these, and want to see what I do. I do want to. Then want to take me to the President's THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1921 but I know that the President of Cuba is one of the many friends we have. It was the President who received the captain and the crew of the Black Star Line in eight royal manner, honoring the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its achievements (Chaeray). And it was the President who said a message of encouragement to us by his ship, The Argoy. Therefore, the captain of the Cule will have a ship in with the arrangements have made by the Havana Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Suffer it to say, however, that all Cuba is organized into the U. N. L. A. and His Grace the Chapelans General has sent messages to me saying that Cuba is even more warm than Liberty Hall for the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. He has had a successful time in Cuba and he will arrive, back in this country, and will speak, in Liberty Hall on the $9 of next month. I am asking you to arrange for a big meeting for His Grace the Chapelans General on the $9 of next month, when he will report to you his successes in Cuba for the six weeks we has been there. I will go from Cube to Jamaica and spend five days there speaking to the different divisions of the association in that island. I will leave Jamaica and then go to Colon or Panama, where I will spend four days. From there I will go to Costa Rica where I will spend two days. From Costa Rica I go to Boca del Toro and spend two days there. From Boca del Toro I will call for New York via Jamaica, hoping to be back in New York around the 6th of April, when I will speak in Liberty Hall, God willing. Now I want to leave with you my heartiest wishes. I want to wish you the very best prosperity during my absence. I know of the hard industrial times through which we are passing in this country; nevertheless we of ourselves must make an effort to relieve the situation. It is for the believing of the hard economic pressure among Negroes that I am going abroad to make arrangement at those ends—in Central America and the West Indies—so that the Black Star Line can be more actively engaged for the balance of this year and all next year and for all times. Immediately after my return from the West Indies and Central America I am planning to leave for Africa, where I will also make connections there in the interest of the Black Star Line and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In Africa we have hundreds and hundreds of branches of the U. N. I. A. (Cheers) in the hinterland of Central East Africa. West Africa, Central Africa and all Africa is organized into the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and all we have to do now is to mobilize the financial and the moral and the physical strength of the people for the deliverance of Africa. And that is one of the reasons why I am going to the West Africa, South and Central America and Africa can work for the same purpose during the in and in the future. You need not entertain any fear of anything happening to me. I am going because our plans are well laid and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is such a power today that not only man but Governments fear the result in dealing with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As I will be going to my native land for the last time, I want you to understand that I before I became an African citizen, was a citizen of the world. The world was my province. I was born there only by accident. The choice of my nativity is Africa. It is said somewhere in Scripture that you must be born again before you can be saved. Well, I believe I am born again because I want to be free, and the second birth has made me a citizen of Africa. So I will be going to Jamaica not to speak as a Jamaican, but I will be going to speak as an African citizen, and I will speak to my fellow countrymen not as Jamaicans but as citizens of Africa. And I want it clearly understood in leaving Liberty Hall that I go to the Negro peoples of the world not with any national limitation but with the broadest spirit of African freedom. I go from you as a citizen of Africa and I shall return or die as a citizen of Africa. (Loud cheers.) When I went for my passport—that I cannot give passports yet—probably in another couple of years we will give our own passports—it was granted on condition that I could only go fresh here to there and come back. They made it clear that I could not go to Europe. They know I do not want to go to Europe; but they know this; that to go to Africa you have to sell out of New York and under present conditions you have to pass that way. They did not want to tell the "you must not go to Africa," they say "you must not go to Europe," and that is because to their knowledge the only ships that leave New York are white ships and if you have to go to Africa you have to sail to Liverpool or some other European port. But later on we can sell from anywhere and reach Africa; and that is just why I am appealing to you tonight to give us efficient money to buy ships that we can sell from anywhere and everywhere. I must say good-bye because the hour is late and I hope to meet you all again in another four or five weeks. I thank you to pray for me as I will keep you and for your success. I will ever remember Liberty 'Hall and wherever I go I shall make it my duty to send you a cable to reach you every Sunday night. There are you who want to know about the success of my trip you can go to Liberty Hall to pray since my night end I will ask the management to send you a cable to reach you. "I AM BLACK, BUT CUMILY AS THE TENTS OF KEDAR" I remember so well when I first saw him. I was riling along a narrow gauge path, with the sunlight staining down through the high forest branches and giving to the dense jungle an enchanted fairy-like appearance. It had been raining heavily all the morning, and now that the sun was once more out there was a feeling of spring in the African birds of every tree the fantastic African birds were willing to touch each other, and now and again I could hear above every other noise the petulant screeches of the little green parrots as they crossed the sky far over head. There was no doubt that the heavy rain had broken at last and the African spring had begun. I turned the oofer, and there she was—a young native girl bending over a water hole, filling her gourd. I relaxed in my pony. She started away with a cry as soon as she saw me; very likely I was the first, white man she had ever looked upon. I beckoned to her and began talking in Swahili. But she evidently did not understand a word of it. However, she soon lost her nervousness, and with the confidence of her sex, when they knew they beautiful, she stood laughing there. She wore a strip of leather across her loins; except for this she naked. Her body was covered with red earth after the manner of the more savage African natives, and beautifully soft and polished it looked. I rode by her side until she reached her hut, a tiny round wooden kraal in a hidden forest glade. I found her father there, an old man, busy in his meaples plot. I discovered that he knew a few words of swahili and I talked to him a little. After that I continued my journey towards my home by Lake Elementia. But try as I would, I could not get the memory of this forest child out of my mind. The long, lonely years I had passed in Africa had made my whole being cry out for something to love, for some romance, for it is exactly this that is lacking in the great dark continent. The Rendawadee. For several months after this adventure, whisperer I was free in the late afternoon and ride up to the forest and stand waiting by the water hole ift Wamboy came. We used to sit together, side by side, under a cedar tree, and I would try to teach her to pronounce certain English words and tense her when her curved lips found difficulty in stammering out the familiar syllables. "Wamboy, you are a darling," I would say. She was proud and availive and in every way inaccessible. The sound of her laughter was the prettiest thing I have ever heard in my life. It was clear as running water, clear as the song of an English blackbird. The more I saw of her the more impossible it seemed to me ever to rid myself of the power that her strange woodland personality had cast over me. I began seriously to contemplate marrying her. Why not? After all, we only have one life, and surely I could spend mine in a far worse way than living in the forest with this lovely creature. I could occupy myself like that in cultivating my meaile plot and the sulgar importance of the modern world to the devil. Other white men had deliberately abandoned civilised life and to living with black people. Why should not? Eventually I made overtures to the father. He seemed more than agreeable and told me that if I gave him fifteen goats, ten sheep and one heifer I could take his daughter away whenever I wished. But as soon as the plan reached the ears of the girl she grew frightened. She had been prepared to laugh and play with me but when she understood that I was really serious a new I never look at you again, even when I could not hear to see him and make up my mind to avoid meeting two easy more. For over a month, they stayed. I refrained from riding up to our training place. At the end of this time the old father came down to see me, and aversion had been posed. "This hey," he said. "I myself will bring her to you by force any evening you wish, and when she has lived with you a little time she will come to love you and no longer be frightened." It was terrifying, tempting, but the rescollection of Wainbow's pretty ways and the whole charisthood to grace of her personality came to my rescue. I therefore told the old repatriate to go to the Cavil and I never looked again into the dark eyes of Wainbow of the forest water hole—Exchange. MARCUS GARVEY vs. DU BOIS MONTICELLO UNIVERSITY, VIA THE RUFFLE Dr. W. E. B. DeBois, the editor of "Ozizia," has been writing very cautiously of the greatest business genius that our race group has produced in the last generation, in the December and January issues of the "Ozizia." Mr. Marcus Garvey the founder of the National Negro Improvement Association, who in three and a half years has gathered into one-organization over four millions of dark skin members. With this mighty host of both american and foreign-born people of color, Garvey is doing things that only dreamers dare dream. And that is why he is attracting the attention of thoughtful men the world over. Editors and preachers are making Marcus Garvey their very serious subject. We noticed in the columns of the San Francisco dalles this week a notice where Dr. James L. Gordon, pastor of the First Congregational Church of that city, is giving a lecture on Marus Garvey and his scheme. The movement of cementing the forces of our people to do big things ought to call for the heartiest support of the dark-skin group the world over. Garvey needs and should have the support of us all. Dr. Du Bois is not helping the association which he represents by writing of Mr. Garvey as he does. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is attempting big things to make better the civil and economic condition of our group in this country by cordial co-operation with organized law and order. Dr. Du Bois is recognized as a potent factor in that association. He cannot therefore antagonize another association of a member of his group in this country is putting in his best company. Du Bois is doing big things. We must admire the man that does rather than talk. From the posta following these two leaders of great organizations, we think Mr. Garvey has the best of Du.

GOOD IN REWARDS FOR ATHERS; MOB LEADERS ATTACK AMAZING MOB leaders, the armed and portfolios of members of the Bata that broke into all of Alpine, Oma, Wonderland, state and burned Iowa, Iowa, Wonderland, a paper, at the state, were obtained today by Governor Thomas. The governor allowed rewards of $500 each for the first three convictions on the burning charge, and the same amounts for the first three convictions of persons who broke into the hall. The Athens Ministerial Association in resolutions adopted demands an investigation of the active affair including 'responsibility' of the officials leaving the negro in custody. Ebberhard was appalled of the murder of a white woman. Dr. Phoite Durham, dean of the theological department of Emory university, and the Rev. M. Alhany Jones, Atlanta, conferred with Governor Dreyer for several hours late today regarding the mob action. No statement was given out but it was reported the governor soon would ask for a special session of the Clark grand jury to investigate the storming of the fall and for another grand jury investigation in Coecone county, where the negro was taken and burned. ATHENS, Ga. Feb. 19—Dehande of the Ministerial Association of Athens for investigation of the storming of the jail here Wednesday night and subsequent burning of a hero dear here were followed today by declarations of the crimes by David C. Varsow, chancellor of the University of Georgia, and Andrew J. Cob, formerly a justice of the state supreme court. "This is a country where we depend for safety on law," Chancellor Barrow declared in an address to the student body. "The laws: acts of certain citizens. Wednesday night must make each of us fear for the future of our country." He added that information pointed to the negro's guilt of murder, but he deplored the mab's act. After declaring that "the life of an excellent woman has been destroyed by a bend," former Justice Cobb, ascribed in a signed statement that the negro burned was not shown to be guilty and asserted that "the murder of the law is a far graver offense than the murder of a human being." "Organised government has survived, and can again survive the murder of human beings," he contended. When the law sles, government dies, all things desirable die, chaos reigns and anarchy enthroned. Grace you this day, whom you will serve, the law or anarchy? DR.

Phene WEST 51 --- FINDS NEGRO TROOPS ARE ORDERLY ON THE RHINE General Allen Reports Charges Are German Propaganda Especially for America. WASHINGTON, Feb 19.—There was issued today a Senate document which gives the full story of the alleged improper behavior of French nero troops in Germany. The document contains the correspondence that has passed between the Stat. Department and the Committees on Foreign Relations of the two houses of Congress, as well as the full text of the report made to the department in July last by Major Gen. Henry T. Allen, the commander of the American troops in Germany. troops of Negrold origin, the First Regiment of Chasseurs Malagache. There are, however, a few individual Negroes or Negroids in the other French Colonial regiments. Adreit Political Move. "4. A very violent newspaper campaign attacking the French colonial troops, especially the Negro troops broke out simultaneously throughout Germany coincident with the time of the French evacuation of Frankfurt and Darmstadt and has continued up to the The correspondence, which covers the period June 12, 1920, to Jan. 17, this year, was transmitted to Senator Lodge by Under Secretary of State Norman H. Davis. The most interesting of the documents was the report of General Allen, who gives it as his opinion that the propaganda was directed against France by the Germans for the purpose of creating antipathy to France in other countries, "especially in America." The Department of State points out that since last June it has been receiving protests against allied misconduct at the French negro troops in Germany and that as a result of these protests the department directed official investigations, one by Mr. Dresiel, the American Commissioner in Berlin, and the author by General Allen, who acted at the suggestion of Ambassador Wallace, the latter having previously communicated with President Millerand of France, at that time the French Premier. General Allen's report, which is based on a personal investigation made by Colonel LeVert Coleman, U. S. Army, characterizes the charges directed against the French negro troops as a "very violent newspaper campaign," which he adds, "broke out simultaneously throughout Germany coincident with the time of the French evacuation of Frankfurt and Darmstadt." Much of the trouble, General Allen further informs the Secretary of State, was due to the "attitude of certain classes of German women toward the coloree troops." In the report made by Mr. Dreselis a so-called American mass meeting that was held in Berlin on July 15 is described. In a cablegram to the Department of State Mr. Dreselis pointed out that the addresses were "bitterly anti-American as well as anti-French" and added that "Miss Ray Beveridge and Mrs. Schaffauer, both American villains, were particularly vehement in their attacks on President Wilson and the United States Government." Among other Americans who appeared at the meeting Mr. Dresel named Edwin Emerson, a former officer of the National Guard of New York, Edwin Talbot Scheffauer and Lorn Vincent. John Dokey and Rutelize Lutherford sent messages to the meeting, while letters, Mr. Dresel reported, were read from Mrs. Bayard Taylor and Professor Thomas C. Hall. In a letter to Mr. Porter chairman of the House Committees on Foreign Relations, Under Secretary Davis, states that Colonel Emerson "has been living in Germany since 1917" and that during and since the war he has been carrying on anti-uilied propaganda in Germany. General Allen's Report. The report of General Allen to the Department of State gave in part: "1. In compliance with your cablegram of June 22, 1920, regarding alleged mistreatment of German women by French colored troops, and in elaboration of my cablegram of June 28. I submit the following report, based on a personal investigation conducted by Colonel LeYort C. Colaman, C. A. C. American liaison officer, with the commanding general of the Allied Forces of Occupation. "2. During the period from January, 1929, to June 1, 1920: "a) The average number of Negro troops in the French Army of the Rhine was 8,300 men. "b) The average number of French Colonial troops composed of natives of Africa not of pure Negro blood, including distinct races such as Arabs from Algeria Moroccan, etc., and mixed-blood races, such as the Malguese from Madagascar. General Allen then reports that during the entire period from the first day of the occupation in 1918 to the first of June, 1920, sixty-six cases of alleged sexual crimes were officially reported to the French military authorities against their colored Colonial troops in the occupied territories of the Rhineland. Among these cases thus have been twenty-sight convictions, including several cases where the intent was not fully proved, but punishment was given by minor courts corresponding to our summary and garrison courts. There were seven acquitals. There were twenty-three investigations leading to trials, the results of which had not been published when the report was made. There were six cases where the offenders could not be found. The penalties inflicted were varied, from ten years at hard labor to thirty days in prison. The report continues. 1.

A very violent newspaper campaign attacking the French colonial troops, especially the Negro troops, broke out simultaneously throughout Germany coincident with the time of the French evacuation of Frankfurt and Darmstadt and has continued up to the present time. It is unquestionably a fact that many gross exaggerations were circulated in the German press concerning the conduct of the French colonial troops. The allegations in the German pream have, been for the most part so indiscrete as to time and place and circumstance as to leave it impracticable to verify the alleged facts or to disprove them. 5. After all proper allowance is made for the natural difficulties, which always are too be expected in tracing crimes of this nature, due to the shames and distress of the victims, the great mass of the articles in the German press, by the simultaneous appearance all over Germany, and by the failure to cite time, place and circumstance sufficiently clear to enable the truth to be ascertained, give to an impartial observer the impression of an adroit political move which would tend to sow antipathy to France in the other lands of the allied and associated powers, especially in America, where the Negro question is always capable of arousing feeling. '8. The Rhelsche Zeitung and the Kolinsche Volkszaitung recently auspended for publishing attacks on the French colored Colonial troop, admit under date of June 15, that they employed certain terms and expressions which they might better have omitted, due to the imperfection of the news coming for the most past from outside sources, says the Volkszaitung, and from Berlin, says the Rhelsche Zeitung. This tends to bear out the opinion noted above, which is further strengthened by dissentive voices in the South German press, which protests against exaggerated accusations by other German papers against colored French troops. 7. These engergerated attacks in the German press outside of the Rhinelands have in several cases beep, refuted by responsible officials (Germans) and citizens of the Rhinelands. Herr Kohler, Mayor of Worms; Herr Bischof, Police Commissioner of Worms, referring to the Senegalese troops, reports to the Interalred Rhineland High Commission that with the exception of one incident the Senegalese troops in Worms have not committed any misdeanor and have been under perfect discipline during their entire stay in Worms. "Herr Levy from Kreuznach and several Germans have written open letter protests against what they term THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1931 unfair exaggeration in the German press against the troops. General Allen then takes up a number of "greater exaggerations" in the German press and presents denials by Germans themselves of the charges made against the colored troops. His report goes on: *2. On the other hand, undoubtedly many instances have occurred where women or girls have been assaulted * * * by members of the French colored Colonial troops. See report above as to the official figures. There are undoubtedly cases which are not included in the official figures, due to the natural desire to keep out of obscure notoriously. For example, a case of attempted assault was reported June 14, 1930, from Saarbrücken, which is not included in the French official figures. Some cases will never come to light due to the natural feeling of shame of the women concerned, but they are, in my opinion, cases such as generally occur in any land when soldiery is for a long time quartered upon the population. 10. The impression gained from contact with and observation of the French colonial troops is that, as a general rule, they are quite orderly and well behaved. Discipline has a purely relative value and is hardly of the same order as that which we would require. That the discipline of the Senegalese brigade was not always good is established by the incidents which recently occurred at Marseilles, when a part of these troops committed serious infractions of discipline when ordered aboard their transports. "1. The attitude of certain classes of German women toward the colored troops has been such as to incite trouble. On account of the very unsettled economic conditions and for other causes growing out of the World War, prostitution is abnormally engaged in and many German women of loose character have openly made advances to the colored soldiers, as evidenced by numerous love letters and photographs which are now on file in the official records and which have been sent by German women to colored French soldiers. Several cases have occurred of marriages of German women with French Negro soldiers. One German girl of a first-class burger family, her father a very high city functionary of a prominent city in the Rhinelands, recently procured a passport to rejoil her flance in Marseilles. He was a Nagro sergeant. Other Negro soldiers have had French wives here, and the color line is not regarded either by the French or the Germans as we regard it in America—to keep the white race pure. "At Ludwigshafen, when the Seventh Tiralleuers left for Frankfurt, patrols had to be sent out to drive away the German women from the barracks where they were blasting the colored troops through the window gratings." His Conclusions. He draws the following conclusions: 1. The wholesale atrocities by French Negro colonial troops alleged in the German grease, such as the alleged abductions, followed by rape, mutilation, murder and 'concealment' of the bodies of the victims, are false and intended for political propaganda. 2. A number of cases of . . . [the sort charged] have occurred on the part of French Negro colonial troops in the Bihinela. These cases have been occasional and in restricted numbers, not general or widespread. The French military authorities have repressed them severely in most cases and have made a very serious effort to stamp out the evil. "2. As a rule the number of convictions and the thoroughness of the reports of the investigations and trials indicate the very earliest effort of the French civil authorities to do justice and to stamp out the evil by stern appressive measures. Their such sentences are often milder than dure would be; largely due to estimating circumstances found in the evidence according to their rules of evidence, which are very different from ours, and to the fact that in general French courts do not punish these crimes as severely as American and English courts do. "4. The discipline of the beneguese trailiers was not always good, as evidenced by the retusal of some of them to get aboard transports at Marseilles when ordered to Syria."

MUNKOR LICENSEN AND LIBERTY FACT VERSUS FICTION CHAPTER ONE Miniature Fiction The national political plight of the twenty people of America consists mainly in this: That with a certain amount of political power available for them in their own interests, they use their power, year after year, to add to the power of the Republican party's co-operation in the country and the government—control which has not so far responded to the political advantage of the two people. The Fourteenth and Nineteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution expressly states that the Congress shall have power to enforce by appurtenant legislation. That is to say, if the Supreme Court determines that these laws have not bite and both enough of legal or constitutional power, the laws themselves—the amendments—put it into the power of the government to add more precise legislation by which they can realize the aims of these amendments. What are the aims of these amendments, speaking as a simple citizen, and as a lawyer, I should say that purposes of these amendments are: to give the putting of all people in the United States of the male sex upon an adult living as regards the qualifications for voting. Next, the punishment of a state which 'disterminates' adult black people or other people, unfully grounds—the putting of the punishment on them; (that their representation in the National Congress shall be reduced in proportion to the number of males of voting are) that they exclude from the ballot. The first in, that from 1878 the vote was given which of the Negro people has been taken away from them by the Venezuelan white men of the South. Indiana 1878 until Woodrow Wilson's inauguration, the sole exception of the inhabitation of Greene Cleveland, the government of the United States has been the hands of white Republicans. The Southwest, the Burmese Court, Crookies, the Army, the Navy, the government of government, have been frowned, and they have stood by with a protestant consent, with hypocritical sentence, while the Negro men being robbed in the white walls, while the only prote- cious men taken away from him which were now off the hall hounds, the inhabitation of the South, from his body, and burglars from his property. Hence this is primarily a question of political power, one would expect that the people would use his political power, though these right. But he has shown that his power, too, the power to control the other has wiped a dearly held power in the Abraham Lincoln and the presidency party, and that his power was not to himself, but to those with power to whom the debt of all individuals was owed. Thus our children, our property, our families, have all been impotent and have provoked him by our continuing mistreatment of them.

HUBFRT H. HARRISON the fathers were always our equals and often our superiors." That is a comprehensive estimate of that gentry. I should like to present here some evidence in regard to white slavery among the puritans of Massachusetts, and some information about George Washington; but our business is with Abraham Lincoln. United States had up to this time levee that his record still remains as that of the greatest President that America has had down to our time. But greatest and (may I coin a word!) "goodest" are not necessarily the same. The current opinion of Abraham Lincoln as a god is not supported by the facts, and I shall try to present some of those facts, sticking to those relating to ourselves. Cause of the Civil War. First, I must say a word about the Civil War. The Civil War has been morally re-constructed. The average white person nowadays believes that "We, the people of the United States" of the North went to war with the southerners in order to free the Negroes. The average Negro himself believes that! Why? Because most of us do not get beyond the schoolbook stage of history; and in the schoolbooks—your political fairy stories—this is what we are told—and this is not so! These school books are written as if Lincoln and his cabinet, and General Grant and all the rest of those splendid officers of the government buckled on their swords, shouldered their guns, and went after the Cracker in the South in order to pry him loose from the black man whom he was holding in slavery. There are certain memories, however, sticking in our minds that somehow will not square with these assumptions. For instance, Lovejoy was johned. John Brown was executed. Wendell Phillips was extracled. Garrison was mobbed and dragged through the streets of Boston with a rope around his neck. These were the champions—the white champions—of the Negro's freedom; and the Republican Party and the general white sentiment of their day, repudiated and ex executed and tehoced them. Their motives were not the prevailing ones in this period. What then, were the real causes of the Civil War? First, let us get into the economics of slavery. There were two types of civilization established in our country. One was the type that became dominant in New England; the other type became dominant in the South. The New England type did make some endeavor to arrange itself on the basis of a free white working class. I may make some endeavor. I dare not say that it succeeded, because if never did at any time have a quite free white working class. It was in 1815 that the first Intensive slave Law was passed in this country, and it was passed in the legislature of Massachusetts. Against what slaves was it passed? It against black slaves, but against white slaves. White men, white women, white children, were at that time sold like cattle! They ran away the house comitatus was supposed to go out and hunt them down with dogs and guns and rope and bring them back to their tasks. New England, as far down as New York, established (under the impulse given by Thomas, Slater of Rhode Island who established the first factory and Alexander Hamilton who laid the financial foundation under government arrangements) the factory capitalist system of the North. In the flouth, however, the land had been given to men who were lily-handed, who wanted wealth but did not believe in working with the hands. And so, having tried the white Irish and found them not amenable, having tried the white English, the Dutch, the Germans, and found them not satisfactory, they came to rely for the working of their lands and, for the wealth to accrue therefrom, upon that experiment initiated in this part of the world by Las Casas, the great Catholic leader of Columbus, Day in the Western Hemisphere; they sent to Africa to get black people who were superior to all the other people known to them as workers. The Southern thirst developed agricultural domestic slavery, but that method, as念慈迪 by every economist who investigated it, was wasteful. The agricultural system was bad—poor to such an extent that the land was witch out to drop five to ten years. There was no relation of crops in the growing of cotton, tobacco and cane. The soil was worn out and a worn out soil yielded until you take to scientific methods of farming and get chemical manure to enrich it. It was the task, in the interest of the wave holders, to continue expanding the area of the territory which was given over to that form of wealth-gathering. This method expressed itself in changes in the structure of our government. From time to time, too, you would see the government itself reach the wider presence of this necessity in acquired land here and there. They sought houston from Napoleon. The pushed controlled by the Southerners assemblies to the heads of the army, navy, army, French and the British. In addition, raids in the territory of THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1821 Mexico—raids which w o intended to provoke war. War was provoked in the interests of the Southern extension of slave territory, and we got Texas. Later on, when the capitalists of the North began to develop their factory systems and to take their goods to Europe to Asia to Africa, their method of making a dollar turn over resulted in a quicker turnover than the slave method did. It was easier to make a dollar yield another dollar when that dollar was invested in a worker whom you did not have to pay when he was sick—I should have sold, whom you did not have to support when he was sick; whose wife and children you did not have to support if they were not working for you. Now the capitalist in the South, having bought the black slave, had to pay for his board and lodging, even in those periods when the black slave was sick and was not producing any surplus value for the capitalist. It is true, he did not allow his wife and children any leisure; but they, too, had to be supported when they were sick. In the North, the capitalists paid only for the actual working time of the free white laborer. When he got sick that was his own business. If he chose to die and decrease the surplus population, as Dickens put it, so much the better for the capitalists. They did not care what became of him. And their method of fructifying the dollar yielded larger results than the other method. Now, in any capitalistic competition, that form will win out which secures the most profit; and the Northern system of getting graft secured the maximum of profits as compared with the Southern system. The goods which the factory capitalists of the North turned out could be sold cheaper than the goods turned out by the slave holding capitalists of the South. And so these two forms competed for political power in Washington and for profits in the markets of the world. This competition was expressed also in the changes in the government. The Northern capitalists began to say: "Why should we let the nation go to work and tax our capital up North to get taxes to be spent on the Crackers of the South? Why should we let the Southerners control the Supremo Court, the Army and the Navy? Depend upon it, that so long as they do, when questions of taxation come up in the National Congress, they will put it on us and take the burden of themselves." Consequently, in their own protection, the capitalists of the North had to work to attempt to seize control of the government within the political structure; and that was the contest which culminated in the electoral campaign of 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was running for office. Abraham Lincoln was elected to office and the South seceded. Then, Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party, scared at what they had evoked, offered to drop all discussion of slavery, to give the South everything it wanted, including the perpetuation of slavery on American soil, making it a thing that should exist forever, whose disturbance by agitators or by legislators should be forever illegal. In the face of that, why did the South secede? Because the very thing which you deny in the case of the Socialists and Labor Radicals, the business men in Wall Street, today or yesterday, know to be true. Government functions in the interests of that class that controls it. That is the innate necessity of government. And the Southerners realised that with the powers of government in the hands of the white capitalists of the North, promises could be made—a thousand a day—but when it came to square dealing, the government would function against the interests of the slaveholders. They know on whose side government was. So, because Abraham Lincoln was elected and the powers of government were put in the hands of the people of the North, they insisted for the sake of the perpetuation of their kind of property that they must have a government of their own in which their kind of property was paramount and, consequently, one in which their interests would always be advanced.

Slowly but surely, the masses of the race are turning away from leaders that have been foiled on them by certain agencies, who wish to keep them in a state where they can be easily exploited. Perhaps the most significant and hopeful instance of this is the passing of Roscoe Conkling Simmons once heralded throughout the nation as the second Emancipator and the greatest political leader the race has ever had. As president of the Lincoln League, he was a glittering figure, and incidentally cleaned up quite a little coin. But the brilliance of Simmons' was something like that of a bit of jewelry from the five and ten cents store. It could deceive the simple-minded, but not for long. Now this might political figure of straw, this Negro Lincoln with so much of the monkey and the parrot in his make-up, is heading toward that oblivion from which for the good of his long-suffering people he ought never to have been permitted to emerge. The most serious objection to Simmons was not his antics and his ready flow of meaningless talk—we have seen comedians in cheap vaudeville that could excel him any day. Nor was it his very obvious desire to feather his neat. The great danger of Simmons is that he is the tool of certain white men whose chief article of faith is that Negroes shall go thus far and no further. Would Colonel Watterson and other Southern editors who lauded Simmons to the skies have said a kind word for men of the slaying of Trotter, Garvey and DuBola? The best proof is that they never have. At the last National Republican convention Simmons refused to take a stand for any candidate waiting to see where the wind would blow. This political weathercock waited a little too long and lost out. Simmons is noted for his dog-like adoration of the color of his boots. He is the very type of Negro that was promoted to slave-driver before the war. To-day he is rewarded with a "leadership." What we have said of Simmons is true of hundreds of other self-imposed leaders. We single him out because he is the smoother, therefore the most insidious of the lot. The cost of these leaders to the masses of the race has been and continues to be enormous. Not only have they used their power to keep the masses in ignorance, but by specious promises they take away a great deal of what these poor people have earned. Take most of the Negroes who enter politics. They are soon swallowed up in the machine and become a costly parasite on the struggling masses. As was said the masses are discovering the true nature of these leaders. What has been the chief factor in exposing them? The Negro Press—the Negro Press has been undermining their influence—has been undermining it not so much by direct attack, as by its policy of education. Therefore these leaders hate the press, as the devil hates holy water. With their white bosses they have but one aim and that is to crush it. Having the Press the race needs no leader or leaders, no more than the whites need them. It is true that the Negro press is not all that it should be, but most Negro journals and periodicals are independent in spite of their severe struggle for existence. They depend not on exploiting agencies, but on the members of the race. Most Negro journals are honest, especially in their editorial columns. The masses of the race need another emancipation—an emancipation from crafty, blood-sucking leaders. That emancipating power lies in the Negro press! Our advice is, put your dollars where these leaders cannot coax them out of your pocket into their own. Read newspapers and periodicals; therein lies the chief uplifting influence of the race. —The Chicago Enterprises. LADIES. ATTENTION!

He led his race out from the tomb Of darkness and despair. That crushed hopes might revive and bloom In liberty's pure air. He did not heed the cynic's sneer— His soul fell in the dream. And critics could not hush the lips That spoke of freedom's theme. He saw his mother country free— Dehish her rising star. And begged his countrymen to flee Where kin and loved ones are. Inspired by God, one hundred years Became to him a day; He saw his kinsmen, heard their cry When future tyrants sway. He saw them swept like driven tide To Canada's retreat, Confined there by the ocean bars, And trampled under feet. He saw his people pass away Like clouds that tempeats rend. While idlers criticised and amused, He was the black man's friend. Fired with a patriotic zeal That fanned his loving heart. He yearned for native land ties That aliens tore apart. He saw a flag eyes could not see— A nation yet unborn— A land where black men might be free, The dawn of freedom's morn. He did not deem the price too dear (Whatever it might be) For black men to regain their soil And set their country free.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY Hair is by far the most conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bed or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair; that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt; can easily be used as trifling expense by simply dissolving a teapoonful of canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid—enough soft is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinning leaves the scalp sootlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After a canthroshampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Free trial offer. Send two points to cover postage. Address: H. S. Peterson & Co., Dept. 212-213 W. 1. Innisle St. Chicago, Illinois. Adv.

The monthly meeting of the local branch was held on Sunday, February 13, at 3 p.m. predigently. Mr. Alfred Potter, president, presided. The singing of "Ridgman's Joy Mountain" marked the beginning of the preliminaries. The minutes of the last business meeting were read by the general secretary, but before their adoption was proposed a discussion ensued and lasted for more than an hour. The presidee's position was somewhat peculiar in a calm and respectable manner. once superior to the repellant forces. The financial statement was next read. Nectated on the platform was the Rev. Thomas of Brooklyn, who had arrived to declare a tentative charge for the Union Congregational Church store. The revered gentleman was invited to deliver the gathering. He responded ally and briefly. His auditors impressed much pleasure at his presence and a faithful promise of their support was manifested. A letter, received from Messrs. McIntosh and Allerga, auditors, revealed a claim for a thorough and systematic method by which the records and transactions of the local branch should be kept and preserved. The clinging of the Negro national anthem brought the proceedings to a close. C. H. D. ESTE. MONTREAL NOTES Local Branch Holds Stephan - Newly elected President. Delivers instructive Address - Executive Outline Program. It is with much regret that we are compelled to publish a report of a somewhat appalling character pertaining to the work of this branch. Recently a great decline in attendance has strikingly marked, and considerable dissatisfaction expressed by members and friends of the association. The disliquency of the executive members and the slipup manner in which the general management had been commanded were wholly responsible for the attitude assumed, and in consequence a motion proposing their immediate resignation; developed into insincerity, and interest new and undisciplined in the history of our work in this place. The resignation having been effected, the election of a more competent staff, from the great field of stake, and January 20 marked the fulfilment of an almost trembled entitlement. The preceding officer was 20. Percy Symonds wrote, in a rigid and determined manner, described the proceedings to a successor in name. He is worthy of much praise, like 'Medical party' was exceedingly important, and at the close, expressed their solemnity in terms of respect, thanks, for which there was a growing demand.

WARNING TO THE NEGRO PUBLIC OF AMERICA A man claiming to be PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIYI, alleged to be a native prince of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, is travelling through the United States lecturing to colored people and asking for financial help. This man appeared in Liberty Hall, New York, some months ago and received a public collection from the Negroes of this city, stating that he was a native prince of Africa and that he was about to return to Africa to work in the cause of his people. Information to hanu proves that this man is not a prince from Africa, he is an imposter. It is now alleged that he is a propagandist receiving money to preach disunity among American and West Indian Negroes so that the educated Negroes of this Western Hemisphere may not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa, but allow the White Nations of Europe to control and exploit the continent.

The chapelais was invited to introduce the executive members whose presence on the rostrum shed a new light of hope and promising anticipation. Delivering a very brief discourse he proceeded formally, each member having stepped forward and bowed. The audience cheered wholeheartedly. The next item comprised the outlaying of plans and a sketch of proposed activity; whereupon each official member gave a pleasing testimony coupled with our estimate of the U. N. I. A. and a glowing tribute to the Hon. Marcel Carvey. The nature of the function was very religious and vibrant in appeal. "Eternal Father Strong to Savior" was sung pathologically in memory of the pioneers on route to Liferrita. This was followed by a Biblical reading and the chapelais' prayer. Monson, Alberga and McIntosh were appointed auditors of all the local records. Owing to maladministration in the past, the branch is defunct, and Mr Potter's influence on the proprietor of Guy Hall, saved us from much embarrassment. The collection received was $20, and the singing of "Bless Be the Twe That Binds" brought the meeting to a close at $20. We centre to invite all colored Montreal to enter our ranks. The time has come when we cannot longer afford to live apart. Great forces are at work endeavoring to deflate the project of the U. N. L. A., but the energy of such forces is uneasy. It is needless. It is hopeless. We are too strong—too high to fall. The world is wondering. The white man is watching, at the same time he is admiring. Let us deliberate on these things and go forth in proclamation of the re-denaming gospel of Garvism. MRS. JOHNSON ADDRESSES NEW HAVEN, N. H. J. The New Haven branch of the U. N. & hold mass meetings for two weeks Mansonio Hall, on Webster street These meetings were held in order to make a large membership drive in be- half of the Liberian Construction Loan and the selling of stocks and shares for the Black Star Line. Mrs. Mary Johnson, a woman of grooming, rare ability and sterling qualities, spent the entire two weeks with the U. N. I. A., and she worked with diligence and enthusiasm. She convinced the colored people of New Harvin that the Marcus Garvey movement was the most wonderful movement in the world. The ball was filled to its full capacity almost every evening, by members and friends in order that they might hear Mrs. Johnson's interesting address. The most essential points that she brought out were that people of our race should unite together in order to become strong and powerful; that we should start business enterprises in order to employ our boys and girls; that we should co-operate with our leaders; that we should endeavor to do everything for the benefit and uplift of our association. Mrs. Johnson particularly emphasized the fact that the association and its enterprise should be run in a systematic way. Every one who attended the mass meetings stated that they enjoyed Mrs. Johnson's addresses most heartily—they were most helpful interesting, instructive, explicit and very impressive. MAYBELLE HEWITT. Associate Secretary. New Haven, Conn. DANCE FOR THE U. N. I. A. A most brilliant and successful reception and dances was given in honor of the African Legion and Black Cross Nurse of Brooklyn by Mrs. D. L. Plummer, wife of Capt. D. L. Plummer, commander of Brooklyn's crack company, at their residence, 694 Franklin avenue, on Thursday evening, February 24. Those who were fortunate enough to be present and were the recipients of the hospitality of their congregal heart and hostess left in the "woe ama" hours of the morning, wishing to be flavored soon again with invitations to attend such a successful and magnificent affair. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921 On Wednesday, February 16, a monster mass meeting was held at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Features of the evening: The Black Cross Nurses, under Major Eliza Headley; Legion, under Col. L. Parks, the choir, under the leadership of Mr Jameo Folk. The president then opened the meeting in the regular manner, outlining the objects of the meeting and the Liberian Construction Loan, and asked all present to do their best to pet this over the top. After a few local speakers, the president then introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. J. D. Gordon, assistant president-general, who gave a thorough survey of the U. N. L. A. and its objects. He held his audience spellbound through the course of his oratory. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. Your fraternity CHAILES A. STEWART President Boston Division. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IN HAMTRAMCK U. N. L. I Mr. M. J. Williams, the general secretary of the Hamtramck division, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. is playing a very conspicuous part in the membership drive by his house-to-house canvass which made the people realize what a great movement the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. is. Mr. Williams, who is a former student of Fluke University and Hampton Institute, is a very capable young man of which the race he is in the village is very proud. He is giving his time and talent absolutely free that the movement might be a success. This division is now in a great campaign and is succeeding in converting many agitators. On Sunday evening, February 20 we held a great mass meeting. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Leo Whittaker, our president, who made a strong plea to the people how important it is to purchase the Liberian loan and Black Star Line shares. Jess Reeve Williams, general secretary of the ladies division, is very active in the forming of the Black Cross nurses. Mr. James W. Williams, the first vice-president of the division, gives the audiences plenty of food and holds them spellbound when he feeds them with Liberia bread and Black Star Line honey. Great things are expected of this division in the future. These are the officials. Leo. E. Whittaker, president. James W. W. Williams, first vice-president; M. J.

WHAT THE METALS HAVE DONE FOR CIVILIZATION I wonder if it ever dawned on the minds of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League of the World, the greatest organization ever started by a Negro for the emancipation of Negroes the world over. Being a close student of world conditions today as they affect the various governments and races of mankind, and from my own experiences at this time, and always throughout my vast experience the world over as explorer, prospector, miner, mining operator, and probably the first and only Negro in America that ever obtained the responsible position of general manager of a white corporate mining company, a going concern and working a large force of white men and women in the great Willow Creek mining district of Alaska, adjacent to the United States Government railroad being constructed at this time at a cost of over $50,000,000, to open up the vast mineral wealth of that great territory. I will not burden you any longer with the facts concerning my experiences; that could be had at some later date if desired. There are the facts that I should like to have LADIES, ATTENTION!

His real advance did not begin until he discharged his stone implement and his wooden bow and arrow and dag down into the earth to secure materials from which he made the plow, the hoe, the axe and the sword. Agriculture was a primitive pursuit until the coming of metal tools. Science and engineering were crude arts until metal devices made experimentation possible, the diffusion of knowledge an accomplished fact and the control of steam and electricity a common reality. Without the metals there would be no great transportation systems on water, on land or in the air throughout the world. There would be no printing presses and consequently no literature. We should have no telegraph lines, telephone, cables, harvesting machinery or lefty skyscraper. All of us would have to forsake the big towns and take to the woods for without metals there would be no water or sewage, and our cities would soon become dangerous pest house. It was the mines of England and Scotland that transformed the small British nation into the greatest of world empires during the nineteenth century, and it is the mines of Africa that are being used by the British and the other European nations that are keeping our flesh and blood in slavery in our motherland. It is the mines that are causing the European nations to prostrate the doctrine that Africa is be dark but a "white man's country." Up until 1870 Great Britain produced more coal than all other countries of the world and produced more iron ore than all the other countries of the world. The United States passed Great Britain in iron producing in 1897, while in coal the American production did not surpass the British until 1900. Early in the present century Germany commenced to forge the front as an iron-producing nation, and in 1905 the Teuton output of iron ore first exceeded that of the British. Without doubt civilization has been developed on a metallic basis, and the miner has been the real pioneer of industry and of empire building. The story of the early progress of man is really a tale of the gold of Ophir, the silver of the Laurion Mountain in Greece and the copper of Mount Sinai in Egypt. Our own Hannah, the famous Carthaginian general, would never have been able to conquer Rome had it not been for the metals obtained from the mines of Iberia. When Carthage and Rome were overthrown mining practically ceased, the dark days of the Middle Ages commenced and the advance of civilization was halted. The discovery of a great new world beyond the seas in 1482 marked the beginning of a new era of romance and adventure, in which the hardy miner again came into being and played the principal role. First came Cortez. Pizarro and other pirates, who looted the accumulated treasures of the new world. It was DIVIDENDS!

Following the speakers came the Cornish and Saxon miners, who introduced the art of making into the new world. It is true that trade follows the flag, but far in advance of the flag was the man with the pick. No news that ever circled the earth created a greater stir or caused such a mighty title of migration as the reports of the discovery of gold in California. It is fortunate for the United States that back in 1848 there were no speedy and efficient means of communication between the outposts of civilization and the seats of government in this country and Mexico. Otherwise the map of North America might be different from what it is today. Neither the Mexican nor the American government was aware of the finding of the yellow metal in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains until after the treaty of Gaudalpe Ilidalgo had been signed on the 2d of February. Three years later California was yielding gold at the rate of eighty million dollars . year. "Cecil Rhodes as a young man went to Africa, becam, a miner and returned to England the founder of the richest colony now under the British flag. The story of the development of gold on the West Coast of Africa is a tale of adventure and hardship no less romantic than the story of the opening of South Africa M. J. Bonnat, a Frenchman, a boat-black, went to Africa as an ivory hunter, was captured by a native chief of the tribe and held a prisoner for three years. While a prisoner Bonnat saw the gold treasures of the chief of the tribe and discovered the location of the diggings from which precious metal had been taken. Later when liberated he obtained a concession from another native chief, and with a number of adventurous spirits started development of certain rich diggings, which later furnished such wealth to the subsequent owners that this portion of the West Coast of Africa is now known as the Gold Coast. If there are wars in the future it is likely that the bode of contention will be the possession or control of mineral deposits that are thought to be essential to the welfare and progress of the rival nations. It was the iron deposits of Alsace-Lorraine that made Germany a great world power. There is every reason to expect that the transfer of this mineral wealth will initiate a vast commercial growth in France which will make that country the leader of the Continental nations. The disputes between Poland and Germany as to who shall get Upper Silesia has not been a question of sentiment, nationality or acres. It has been merely a contest for the possession of the greatest coal fields of Europe and for the ownership of important deposits of lead and zinc. With Silesia under its flag, Poland can eventually equal Germany in importance and wealth. In similar fashion it was the lure of the yellow metal that started the development of Northwestern Canada and the Alaskan peninsular. From Nose Bakery & Enterprise Co. City Co. Cleaning Co.

It has been the search for gold that has led to the discovery of most of the other great minerals deposits. Pur traders and others travel in the vanguard of the forces that extend civilization; but it has been only the miner who penetrated to the heart of the lonely regions through the earth. Close on the heels of the prospector came the mining engineer, who, being more of an economist and something of a manufacturer saw values that the gold seekers overlooked and which in the aggregate were greater sources of wealth than the gold deposits which had been the original lure. Copper and iron sound less romantic and not so spectacular as gold, but these two great basic metals have furnished the foundation for the building of industries that far surpass in magnitude the exploitation of the world's minerals and during the next twenty-five years will provide the greatest problem that confronts the nations of earth.
