The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Anchored Negro—The Poorless Paper THE NEGRO WORLD ONE GOOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY A Newspaper Dedicated solely to the Interests of the Negro Race DELEGATION FROM UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION VISITS PRESIDENT KING OF LIBERIA AT WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL-GIVEN WARM RECEPTION BY HIS EXCELLENCY MEETING IN LIBERTY HALL SUNDAY NIGHT, MARCH 6, WELL ATTENDED—SAME HIGH SPIRITS AND, ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED AS HAVE CHARACTERIZED ALL PRECEDING MEETINGS. Leader of B. W. I., J. S. De Bourg, Makes Parting Speech—Chapain General Rev. Dr. George A. McGuire, Having Returned From Cuba, to Be Given Grand Reception and Dinner in Liberty Hall Tuesday Evening, March 8—Hon. Marcus Garvey Sends Encouraging Cablegram From Cuba—Holds Meetings There Despite Efforts to Prevent. Liberty Hall, Sunday Evening, March 6, 1921.—Th extraordinarily mild weather for Marola now provailing naturally favored the attendance tonight at Liberty Hall, which showed no diminution in point of numbers, compared to previous Sunday night meetings; nor was the enthusiasm and interest shown in what was said and done at the meeting any less than heretofore. A telegram was next read to the audience by the chair. This was from Mr. Adrian Johnson, a member of the Field Corps of the U. N. I. A., who is at present in New Orleans, La., in the interest of the association. Mr. Johnson wired that trouble has been brewing in that section of the country; that attempts had been made to stop the meetings of the U. N. I. A.; that, under the circumstances, he could at that time send only a tactical statement. Mr. Johnson, the chair-joint, is a man of unusual ability and could unoubtedly be raised upon to handle tactfully and with wisdom the situation of the South where he might walk and overcome whatever obstacles that might be in the way, as far as concerns the work and interests there of the U. N. I. A. This assurance of the Chancellor relative to Mr. Johnson elicited vociferous expressions of satisfaction and pleasure. The chief feature of the event was the reading of a cable message from the President General, the Hon. Maximus Carpy, from Cuba, to the effect that the colored people of Cuba are going "over the top" in their support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in their subscribing for bonds for the Liberian Construction Loan; that the Cuban President sent greetings to Liberty Hall; also that the Chaplain General, the Razor, the Minister of Medicine, had done good work there in the interest of the association. This welcome news created tumultuous applause, the message showing the great success that the President General is meeting with in his southern trip. Mr. De Bourg Speaks. Mr. J. S. De Bourg, leader of the British West Indies, was thereupon introduced. He mentioned that that was his last appearance in Liberty Hall on a Sunday night, as he was about to leave New York on his mission as Leader of the British West Indies, to assume the duties of his office there, making Trinidad (which is his home) his official headquarters. He spoke regretfully of his parting; expressed his appreciation of the kindness shown him by the members of the U. N. I. A. and its friends, and he hoped that the same spirit that he had always observed prevailed in Liberty Hall would be kept up, and that the work here would continue to progress without abatement. He urged upon all the necessity of not clearing their support of the Association, since this, he said, was necessary to enable it to open, establish and maintain a direct steamship line between America and Africa. He landed the President General for the great work he had done in founding and establishing the U. N. I. A. a man, he said, who had caused the world to tremble; a man who is brave, fearless, confident and sincere. Mr. De Bourg spoke with evident feelings of emotion at his parting from the members and Friends of Liberty Hall, beached the prayers of everyone for his own safe return home, and that God might bless the work of the Association, that it may be carried to a successful conclusion, the realization of the Negro's hope and availment, his freedom everywhere and the ultimate redemption of Africa. Next in importance was the announcement by the Chancellor, the Rev Dr. G. E. Stewart, who presided, that a delegation appointed by the High Executive Council had gone down to the pier in the morning to great President King of the Republic of Liberia on his arrival in port in this country. The delegation was composed of the following gentlemen: Mr. Wilford H. Smith, Counselor General; Mr. Ell Garcia, Auditor General; Mr. J. B. Yearwood, Assistant Secretary General; Mr. H. V. Flummer, Publicity Agent; Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, Chancellor. The party first went to the pier where the boat on which the Liberian President had sailed was to have docked, but found on reaching there that it had docked another, the seagulls before obliging to go to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, where the President is stopping. They reached the hotel at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and were introduced to President King, who is accompanied by the brother of the Hon. G. M. Johnson, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, which latter gentleman attended last years convention of the U. N. I. A. and was elected Potentate of the U. N. I. A. The delegation Dr. Stewart said, was given a warm reception by the President, who was very delighted to receive them, and greatly interested and pleased with the report that made him concerning the work of the U. N. I. A. President King will remain in New York a few days, when he will make a trip to Washington on official business, after which he will return to New York. It is hoped that upon his return to New York the delegation may have an opportunity of seeing him again and being given a more extended A Good Plaintiff.

Send in and purchase yours now from the New York City, U. S. A. With kind personal regards, I have the ho The mainspring of success for Negroes will be found in unity. A community of interests binds us together in an indissoluble tie, and it matters little whether we are in Africa, North, Central or South America or the West Indies, we are, none the less, bound by these interests. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have fully realized the efficacy of organization and each member of this association should bend every effort to interest every other member of the Negro race with whom he comes in contact in the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In the final analysis it will be found that the powers opposed to Negro progress will not be influenced in the slightest by mere verbal protests on our part. They realize only too well that protests of this kind contain nothing but the breath expended in making them. They realize, too, that their success in embodying and dominating the darker portion of humanity was due solely to the element of force employed. In the large majority of cases this was accomplished by force of arms. Pressure, in nature, may assert itself in other forms, but in the last analysis whatever influence is brought to bear against the powers opposed to us must contain the element of force in order to accomplish its purpose, since it is very apparent that this is the only element they recognize. Four hundred million Negroes organized with a firm determination to occupy as good a place as any man in the world with no other limitation than his abilities, will have the weight of numbers that the world must reckon with. Four hundred million Negroes organized for one common purpose would constitute a force in itself that would command respectful attention. Organization among Negroes under the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is, therefore, immeasurably influential and absolutely indispensable in combating the elements opposed to Negro progress. Whatever influence lies back of current propganda against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied interests it has greatly miscalculated the temper of the Negro people. I am proud to state that everywhere Negroes are flocking to our banner by the thousands, and in the not distant future we hope to see every Negro in every part of the world alive to his personal interest and to the interest of his race, and joining his with brother in black under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. Today I am proud to convey to the fifteen million Negroes of America greetings from the Negroes of Cuba who express the hope that through unity we will, in a short time, reach the summit of our hopes. A FREE AND REDEEMED AFRICA. Let me impress upon you the importance of your giving unstinted support to the Black Star Line and the "Liberian Construction Loan" by purchasing shares in the former and bonds in the latter. It is absolutely essential to the success of our program that the Black Star Line have more and bigger ships. These ships can only be purchased through our loyalty in subscribing for shares. Cuba, March 5, 1921. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 the bond of fate in that struggle against the perils of the future, and achieved not only their own liberty and freedom, but that also of white men, whose treachery had made them men without a country and without a future to which they could aspire with hopefulness and faith in the attainment of the one or the other. "These men of the South, and their accomplices of the North have conspired and by legalocuspocus deprived the Negro of his natural and constitutional rights for more than forty years, although the laws upon the statute books of this nation explicitly say that no State shall deprive any Citizen of the United States on account of race or previous condition of servitude, of any right guaranteed to him by these acts. This was the just, and fair, and the proper thing to do to assure that large body of the race whose fighting men had rendered such signal and valuable help to the Nation when its life was in peril and in danger, that the element of gratitude is still one of the greatest assets of the American people. But the Republican party and the Supreme Court of the land have juggled with the question of the Negroes' constitutional and civil rights, and have left him without a leg to stand on. Republican leaders of light and leading, like Senator Root, have openly declared as he did some years ago, in a speech before the Union League Club in this city, that 'the War Amendments are a mistake and are impossible of enforcement.' "Yet the Volstead Act, to prevent the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages is enforced rigidly and drastically by and with the power vested in the law enforcing arm of this Government and comprehended in these words—"And Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." The Congress which passed the war amendments delegated to the law enforcing branch of this Government similar power and authority to enforce these laws. But this power and authority has never been honestly invoked. The present administration which is overwhelmingly Republican, and will be all powerful in the next four or eight years will have the opportunity to demonstrate to the country and the world at large, its disapproval of the cunning, cowardly, deceitful and lying practices of former Republican administrations, to befog the issue involved in the Negroes' demand for a square and honest deal and for his just rights as a citizen, a soldier, a voter, who pays taxes, fights for his country and votes for the men whom he believes will rule and govern it with impartiality, and see to it that the equality of right which is the first of all rights in a free Republic, shall be the joint possession of every man having equal rights in a free Republic, whether he be black or whether he be white. We are anxious and willing to believe that Mr. Harding, our new President, and the great party that stands behind him, feel as we do about this matter and will make the deed square with the word in the four or eight years ahead of us.

Dr. George Alexander McGulre, returned last week from a successful visit to Cuba, looking in splendid health. He was very optimistic about the U. N. I. A.'s progress in Cuba. Everywhere he was greeted with great crowds and enthusiasm. He told how eagerly the people awaited the coming of His Excellency the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey, President General of the U. N. I. A., and Provisional President of Africa. Last Sunday, the Philadelphia Division staged a mannoth meeting in the Dunbar Theatre, under the skillful direction of the Dr. Lionel A. Francis, the recently elected president. The crowds that were assembled and the distinguished visitors present indicated that the division has impressed the city of Brotherly Love. Not only were the aides, the rear of the theatre, the stairways, the galleries and the outer halls crowded, but the sidewalk was thronged with people unable to get in, while hundreds were turned away. Miss Maude Potter prepared a splendid musical programme, while Mr. E. C. Brown, the banker; Rt. Hon. J. D. Gordon and Rev. Dr. Harten held the audience spellbound. Such distinguished citizens of Philadelphia like G. Grant Williams, the editor of the Philadelphia Tribune; Rev. Dr. Jordan, the Foreign Missionary, Secretary of the Baptist convention, and Mr. G. W. Dickerson, the well known lawyer, occupied seats on the platform. When the Brooklyn Division has grown so strong that it was forced to press into service the Academy of Music to hold its great rally recently. The Chicago Division has waxed so mighty that when the Hon. Marcus Garvey visited the Windy City, the great Armory was filled. From Cleveland and other cities in America and Cuba, the divisions report marvelous growth and miraculous progress. The letters and reports that we publish in the Negro World only represent a small per cent. of the encouraging news that we weekly receive. African Coffee. We have been surprised that some enterprises man of the race or group of men with sufficient vision has not seen since the great awakening in things African the wonderlful possibilities of a profitable trade in African and Hayian coffee which have been exploited under, other names by white exporters and dealers in this and other cities for years. We have been told that a popular blended coffee which this a high standing, commercially is pious other than the African bean mixed with Banton. For reasons of their own its manufacturers have not disposed to ship, patrons and the consumers of this blend that there is anything African in it. We trust that some Negro will get busy in this matter and import some of this African coffee for the Negro trade and also the Hayian coffee. There is a nice market for good coffee here and this African and Hayian coffee is good. We have used both and we know where we speak. Wake up, Negroes, and boom Africa. Boom its products and make the race acquainted with the good things which grow in its rich soil, and also make money for yourselves. There is a mint of money for any individual or combination of black man who will undertake to introduce African coffee here. We would suggest that a coffee house he opened, where it can be properly bewed, and sold by the cup, by the pome and its larger quantities to these dealers it. We will be glad to have an enterprise pursuant with this purpose to introduce them with the good. There is a big field for agents throughout Africa and Hayian coffee. The country for the African and Hayian coffee. The African student is one of the largest producers of African coffee, and when properly made is a superior product for the African coffee.

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1821 No. 4 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are currently requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in Negro World advertisement. THE sketches look cross-eyed at the commercial development of West Africa. But Mr. M. K. Taylor contributed a letter to the New York Times Sunday which we will publish in full next year. He says: "I am in a position to state that Liberia offers greater scope at the present time for commercial enterprise than any other part of Africa. Her vast forests of valuable timber, her great and wealthy interior, is still untouched, and Liberia is awaiting American enterprise to come in and develop her wonderful resources. The scope is limitless. Gold, tin, diamonds, ivory, mahogany, palm oil palm kernels, cassava, gum copal, coffee, cocoa, etc., represent but a time of which her vast interior offers. Her soil is fertile, and sugar, cotton, etc., can be extensively cultivated. We would like those who speak lightly of the Black Republic to consider over the words of this gentleman, who has spent many years in Liberia. HERE is plenty of iron in Africa, and the African is an expert in its manufacture. According to Henry the blacks of Africa, we have during the first to convert the information and weapons of warfare from love were found in their mines. Some of the best steel in the world was made by them. Africa may yet become one of the great steel-producing countries of the world, and the Negroes who have been employed in the great steel manufacturing plants in the United States, should field knowledge to that of their African brethren, may be able to introduce as good steel as the plants which are now supplying the world with the American product. The possibilities of Africa as a steel-producing country are almost beyond calculation. Capital and brains will do the trick. There are both, and when the Negro is fully awake he will produce them. THE many friends of Rev. Dr. Walter Mason, presiding elder of the New York Conference of the A. M. E. Church, will learn with regret that he suddenly passed away on Thursday morning March 8. The funeral services were held last Monday night in Philadelphia, M. R. Church, New York city, the Rev. Montrose W. Thorns-DIX pastor conducted the services. Many eminent divines were present. Dr. Mason was a native of Philadelphia and a graduate of Columbia University. He possessed a bright mind and a good heart, and was a hard worker. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. TERMS is a great deal of speculation as to what the new administration in Washington will do for Negroes. There are those who believe that it will adopt measures for the enforcement of these amendments to the Constitution conferring certain rights and protecting Negroes. We would like to share their optimism, but we would like to shake. We repeat what we have already said in these remarks upon the subject. General, the Rev.

Death is only a creation of the life of the tenement in which the soul has had its habitat and results from the failure of the place of its abode to function properly. We cannot in comfort live in a house with safety to our health and lives which is out of repair, which leaks in stormy weather, which has cracked and falling walls, inviting the cold blasts of winter and subjecting its occupants to physical dangers and diseases as a consequence, so we change residences because our old house is made untenable by its leaky roof, cracked walls, falling plaster and general ramshackle condition. It is a dead house, but its former occupant still lives in some other and more comfortable one. So it seems to us our friends, we cannot do anything because the germ of immortality, the soul, is imperishable, never ending, never dying, being as it is a part of God himself and must live as long as the source from whence it derived immortality—life eternal—small endure. Therefore we answer the query in the affirmative "Yes" if a man dies he shall live in ag, in that to say, if the body or hews in which the soul lives, and known and recognised as man, ceases to perform the functions necessary to make the habitation a trustworthy place of abode for the man within it. he shall. We must live in some other habitation because his life is eternal, never dying. He is a God in exile. CORRESPONDENCE Editor The Negro World, 84-66 West 18th Street, New York City. 15th Street, New York City. Dear Sir, Please permit me a little space in your valuable paper to call the attention of our leader to the opportunities of a vast and unexplored field that should be captured and brought into the folds of the U. N. I. A. This field to which I refer is the great South American republic, known as Brazil. If we take up our history books we will find that up to the year 600,000 people nominally falling into Brazil, and, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, about 1836 it was estimated that the Negro population of Brazil numbered 2,000,000, or three times the white population of that period. the unrestricted intermixture of these races (Fortuguese, Indians and Negroes) forms the basis of Brazilian population at the beginning of the twentieth century. Brazil has never had a "color line" and there has never been any popular prejudice against race mixtures. According to the census of 1872 the total population was 9,830,478. The race enumeration gave 3,801,728 whites, 1,858,453 Africans, 388,955 Indians and 3,801,728 "mixed bloods." The census of 1890 increased the total population to 14,333,915, which, according to an annual analysis (Statistical Bureau, Book, 1905) of the 1890 white 4,838,495 "mixed bloods" 2,097,425 Africans and 1,298,798 Indians. This analysis, if correct, indicates that the vegetative increase of the whites has been greater than the Africans and mixed races. This is not the conclusion of many observers, but it may be due to the excessive mortality among the lower classes. We are concerned about the Africans and "mixed bloods," as given above; we further find on investigation that the whites predominate in the Southern States and the colored and African predominate over the Northern States. If we turn to the map of Brazil we find the three chief Northern States composed of Maranhao, Pernambuco and the northeast areas of these respective States 1: 177,689, 49,575 and 144,550 square miles, and their respective population is (1900 census) 555,254, 1098,236 and 117,968. Of this population of the three States Negroes form the majority. What a source of strength our organization can have if only a part of that population can be brought into our camp; victory for our cause will be made easier and the commercial and financial aid can be obviously seen. Our brothers there are engaged in the industry, in the fields of agriculture and the commercial and financial, coffee, blood rubber and all other industries peculiar to that South American climate. In the fields of education we find them as lawyers, doctors, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, marine engineers, captains and pilots. In politics they are mayors and members of their local house of representatives. In the naval and military country we find them again occupying the naval and military fore, taking these facts into consideration, we clearly see that if an effort is made to spread the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and enroll them under the banner' of the Red, Black and Green, we will find Negroes capable to fit in any position. The language spoken there is Portuguese and it should not be very hard to find more than one language in that language and be willing to and interpret the doctrines of the U. N. L. A to our brothers in Brazil. Without the least presumption on my part (only for the love of the U. N. I. A. and what it stands for), I pray that our beloved leader may give this my humble suggestion, some consideration, and have Brasil organized under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. GEO. D.

Dear Sir/—Permit me space in your valuable columns to say just a few words in regards to the Negro World. I think it one of the most effective weapons which can be used by the Negroes against the so-called superior race of today. We must take this paper as an indictment and an indictment with evidence allied. And if it is had been published sooner, it may ten, twenty, or fifty years ago) It would have an lightened the minds of Negroes to such an extent, that the men and women of the Negro race today would have had a better knowledge of themselves and the race as a whole. As for the paper itself it is well that some things which it publishes should be known which have hitherto been more or less concoaled from the Negro himself. The Editor himself will not think dismal this object in writing and publishing it. It has papers have been well processed, and are being widely read by all those interested in the publication of the Negro race as publication of this nature will work for more, deeply and quietly than any additional petitions and for this reason to do not copyable. It has been but rather the more potential means of his race than any other Negro editor or author has ever done. Thanking you Mr. Euler for your valuable space. I have the honor to be your. You are a great friend. O. P. A. HARRIDGE Puerto Cortes, Spanish Honduras. WHITE CALIFORNIA PASTOR SPEAKS WELL OF GARVEVISM Editor, Negro Woman. March 2 of this month the Rev. Dr. James L. Gordon, pastor of the First Congregational Church (white) in the city of San Francisco, before an audience of over 1,500, and for the second time within two months spoke very favorably of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Every Wednesday night he conducts in his church what is called a "Question Drawer" speaking on all worldwide and important subjects. The first time he referred to Marcus Garvey as the Negro Moses, taking his subject from the World's Work. I was not present on this occasion, but those who heard him chained that he spoke encouragingly of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement League. On the above date the subject was "What Do the Negroes of America Think About Marcus Garvey?" Many of our members attended to hear what he had to say, which was as follows: "In the Independent for January is an article entitled 'The New Negro.' I find that the new Negro is getting ready to hit back, and that's what I would do myself if in his position. The black man will come back and demand his rights; he is just as truly made in the image of God as you are." Continuing, he said: "I have before me a picture of Marc Garvey. Studying his head and neck he seems to me a man like Theodore Roosevelt, a man of dynamic force and power. It takes more than education to lead a people; you must have some physical force behind it. His face presents a picture for careful study. He is not only a leader, but an orator; he also directs the Black Star Line Steamship Company." On the whole this learned gentleman enlisted our President-General for his efforts, and in conclusion he told the audience that they would hear more of this great leader in the future. Thus a few of the white people in San Francisco are beginning to ask 'Who is Marc Garvey?' THE DEATH OF L. B. WATKINS. Editor of The Negro World: Dear Sir, Never in my life have I ever been more shocked and disimpointed than when I received your paper of February 18 and looked for the longed-for poetry of our invaluable poet, L. B. Watkins, to read of his death. Truly his last poetry, "Loved and Lost," brings to us in his death a great loss. I feel duty bound to tender to his relatives my sincere sympathy in their and bereavement, as their loss has been so great. I cheer God whispers while smatching those we prize, "My kingdom come, you will meet them there." THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT. Editor of the Nero World. Dear Sir: I have read with much interest of the noble efforts of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and yourself for the advancement of the people of the Negro race, and I am anxious to contribute to the general fund of interest facts which you have garnered for the benefit of the race. It has been my good fortune, dear sir, to have discovered the real purpose of the erection of the great Pyramid and Sphinx of Egypt, and the disclosure is a noble indication of the genius of the Negro race. These monuments constitute the earliest reliable records of the doctrine of the atonement and the advent of a redeemer. Not merely this, but in the astrological calculations, as evidenced by these structures, are recorded the exact time and place of the birth of the redeemer. This time is yet to come, and the redeemer in question is of the Negro race. These facts are not more conjectures, but may be ascertained from reference to the monuments themselves and the sacred stars and constellations which they exemplify or represent. The expedition is simple and clear and challenges the world of science to refute its testimony. Say that the Ethiopian prophecy as contained in the great Pyramid and Sphinx is precisely the same which the Christian religion rests. Just how the white man perverted the original prophecy I am prepared to disclose as recorded in their own testimony in the Bible. This is no rehab of tite statements, but something new, original and startling as it is true and convincing. In the interest of truth, therefore, dear Mr. Ferris, I offer to submit for publication in your paper: a special article upon this most interesting subject. I seek no compensation, but should you do such a subject as I have outlined available for your paper I shall set to work to prepare the article and submit it to your constitution. My only request of you is that you set a time limit for publication and advise me of the number of words or column space that may be assigned to me. Trusting to hear from you as much as can be, and with best wishes for the cause, I am BESTOWED SUCCESSFULLY JOIN US NEBRO NATIONALISM Fred. W. M. Durbin Liberty Mine. Thanking you for valuable space I am, You're faithfully, JOSEPH C. SEGER, New York City, Feb. 24, 1921. THE ETHIOPIANS AS VIEWED BY THE BIBLE Feb. 14, 1931. Prof. W. Feria. Literary Editor, Negro World. New York City. Dear Editor: In the first place. I truly hope that this will not be considered anonymous. Since there has been so much sad about our people in the Bible, that we are God's chosen people, that we are the Ethiopians, we are that people that are to stretch forth our hands to God. Then if those many things about that particular people be true, so it is also true about certain commands given those people. Whoever God's chosen people, they were commanded by God and through his Prophets to refrain from doing as the nations around them were doing. And more particular to not make images, pictures. The second commandment forbids it. There are scores of places that I could mention in Holy Writ condemning the image. He, the Lord God, commanded that chosen people in Numbers 33, 52, to drive out all the inhabitants of the land and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images. In Ezekiel, 8-10, we further see the abominable image again. Then look in Deuteronomy 4, 15 to 18, which is, I think, the strongest point against the image in the entire Bible. The 15th verse: "Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire." The 16th verse: "Lest ye corrupt yourselves and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female." In those verses God through Ethiopians and the U. N. I. A. have corrupted ourselves. Now, if there has been any change from that that it is perfectly all right to do as we please in regards to the image, please let me know. Now just a little from the New Testament, Romans 1, 23 and 24. Some weeks ago we observed in the "Bruce Grit" column of the Negro World that in the c.mt of war between Japan and the U. S. A. Great Britain would not be bound to aid her ally against this country. Louis Louis in the New York Sunday World for February 27 devotes the upper half of the first page of the editorial section of the World to prove our statement, and could have done it in ten lines. The Angin-Japanese treaty, we also took occasion to say, would not be reawarded, if it renewed would be so badly constituted that it remains would deny identification. This prediction has also come to pass. England is getting worse, under it, as gracefully and sincerely as she trained diplomats know, how to do it. So that if war between the U. S. A. and Japan does take place she will have, a free hand and we all know to whom she will lead a hand in such an emergency. During the Thirty Years War, which hunted from 1818 to 1888, and which was a relentless war, bore a huge toll. FIRST OF SERIES OF LAST THREE SPEECHES BY HON. MARCUS GARVEY, DELIVERED IN LIBERTY HALL, BEFORE VAST MID-WEEK ASSEMBLAGE PRIOR TO TRIP TO PANAMA AND WEST INDIES Analyzes Winston Spencer Churchill, British Secretary for the Colonies—Likens Him to the Tillmans and Vardamans of the South—Predicts Great Britain's Fall, Like Fall of Ancient Rome and Greece After Dominating World by Intrigue, Injustice and Oppression Toward Smaller and Weaker Nations and Peoples Unless She Changes Her Policy Towards the Darker Reces. LIBERTY HALL. NEW YORK— Through the middle of the week the meeting tonight in Liberty Hall was attended with a strong of people resembling very much the vast Sunday sight gathering that now have become bi-weekly feature of this cradle of the Negroes liberty. The occasion was to hear the first of a series of farewell addresses delivered by the Hon. Marcus Gerry, Provisional President of Africa, prior to his departure the coming week for a trip to Panama. Central America and the West India Island. Mr. Garvey's address was one full of fire and manifested, as usual, his wonderful powers as a speaker. Not only was it an eloquent speech, but it was enlivened here and there with sparks of humor, invective and ridicule that made the big audience literally titter with laughter and again. It was instructive, too, since it dwell largely upon historical facts all with a view of enduring to show that, the same as other books in that field, the height of their glory, have fallen, the result of their wicked domination of the world and their oppression and injustice to weaker nations and people, so will those nations who now are in the ascendancy of their power and who are oppressing other peoples, will sooner or later meet a similar fate; that the same as the Jews, notwithstanding centuries of persecution, hatred and opposition, finally overcame all these obstacles, until today they are recognized as a power in the world and everywhere, and that the same hopefully look forward to the day when, through the ultimate redemption of Africa it will enjoy the same recognition and be accorded its rightful place in the world, respected by all other races and given the same equal rights as are given others. Shoe a verbatim report of the speech is given below a further review or resume of the speech is unnecessary save only to say that it was a truly masterful effort and should be universally read by Negroes everywhere that they might catch the inspiration it breathe and grasp the spirit of courage, the spirit of confidence, the spirit of unity and co-operation on the part of black people the world over, which the speaker intended to infuse in the speech of the audience. Pref. W. H. Ferris Speaks. Among the other speakers was Prof. W. H. Ferris, editor of The Negro World, who in part spoke as follows: "Here in Liberty Hall, the home of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we see the active, energizing spirit of our people, and that is why this great movement is sweeping the world. The Anglo-Saxon has looked over the entire world. He has realized that the Western Hemisphere has been developed almost to its fullest extent, excepting British Guiana and Brazil, and he is now looking to Africa, with its vast forests, with its untold mineral and vegetable wealth, as the scene for commercial development and exploitation. Money power rules the world today, and if the Negro race is ever to get civil and political recognition it can only do so by getting a toothhold on the soil, get hold of the almighty dollar, master the trades, own and control factors, build and conduct railways and steamship lines. When the Negro does that he will have the world at his feet. I hope you will plunge heavily in this Universal Construction Loan, because it will be the gateway for Developing Liberia. One reason why the Irishman here in this country wishes to see Ireland free, although he does not expect to live there, is that if Ireland becomes free and independent, it will give dignity and prestige to the Irish Race, who will then be able to command the respect of the world. So, too, Liberia and Haiti and San Domingo are developed into prosperous self-governing republics, and Africa herself is redeemed by the black man, it will increase the status and standing and dignity of the Negro Race, which will be effective all over the world. Twelve years ago we had an opportunity to get a foothold of ten square miles on the Gold Court of Africa. That was Cowan's plan. Bishop Walter, Dr. Mason, J. E. Bruce, and others were interested; but the misuse of our people wouldn't take any interest in it. Suppose twelve ago the governor raised the $800,000 to have raised these ten square miles of land, and both developed it when the governor allowed the man who benefited from it to work in it. not let this present opportunity pass by as we did twelve years ago. Miss Davis speaks. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davin, International Organizer, was the next speaker, part of whose address follows: "Liberty Hall is not noted for its architectural beauty, neither for its artistic environments: but the spirit of Liberty Hall has been broadcast throughout the world wherever the Negro is found, and this spirit has become imbued in the heart of every Negro, coming as it does from the African as promulgated by him. His Excellency the Eminent Marcus Garvey, and the incumbents of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) That spirit is the spirit of courage: the spirit that will bring to the Negro victory. "Here and there we find a Negro who is indifferent, but it is for the members of the U. N. I. A. to become missionaries for this movement, to awaken the indifferent Negro, to induce him to throw off that spirit of lethargy and make him realize that unless he awakens at this critical hour, when the Negro as a Race is positively on trial, he will be lost—the Race will be lost. Any Negro who can be indifferent to such a movement as this; a movement that means his welfare; a movement that means the welfare of himself, his children and his children's children; a movement that will give him a country and a flag and a navy to protect that flag, that Negro ought to be put out of the Race." (Great applause.) "To strengthen the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I urge upon you to help us carry out our great plan for Liberia. (Applause). This is the day of the New Negro, the regenerated Negro, the Negro who has not only thrown off the shackles of slavery, but the Negro who stands up a free man, looking every man in the face, and demanding all of his rights as a man. (Great applause). You did not have to be urged so much four years ago to buy Liberty Bonds for the United States Government. That was all right; you did your share for the support of this great government. But now a greater duty devolves upon you—the duty of founding and maintaining a government of your own in your own fatherland, Africa." (Renewed applause.) Other speeches were made by the Rev. E. E. Paul and by the Rev. Dr. Stewart, both of which were very stirring and full of interest, so characteristic of both gentlemen, who are among the leading advocates of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Dr. Paul spoke of how at first, being originally a British subject, he was very loyal to England, and hated to hear anyone speakught against her, but that since hearing of the revelations that he in recent years had made of her cruel oppressions of other nations and peoples, in particular in Africa, he had lost all feeling of love and even respect for John Bull. He has become a naturalized American citizen since coming to this country, and though he has tried to love America, as the land of his adoption, still owing to the injustices that are done our people here, particularly in Africa, he has now been inclined to feel that the only country he can rightly call his and can love is Africa, his mother. Dr. Stewart related the present unemployment conditions among colored people in Harlem in general, which he deprived and deplored, and stated that this was largely to a policy on the part of the white colony, who would only give colored men employment where forced 9 do so, to hire colored men last, and fire them first. He went on to say the time had come for our people to be up and doing, and to organise and come together and prepare to go to their own fatherland, Africa, "where," as he put it, "we can have our own factories, and can employ our own people, who will be the first to be hired, and none of whom will be fired." An appropriate and pleasing musical programme preceded the speech-making, and as a result of the addresses many persons came forward and purchased Black Star Line as well as Construction Loan shares. Hon. Marcus Garvey's Speech. Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: We are not the only ones who feel that the Prime Minister of England and the British Government have made NOTICE To All Elevator Operators in England: Next Sunday, three o'clock, Inflation Hall 185 West 1114 211111 Avenue, Mr. W. A. Dusting, from addressed at The Elevator Hall will be present. Please see all check-out date THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1821 a bad selection or choice in naming Winston Spencer Churchill as the Secretary of State for the Colonies. I spoke about Winston Spencer Churchill last Sunday night, and Brisbane, of whom I know, was the subject of him today. And this is what Brisbane had to say under the caption of "Selection of Churchill a Bad Sign." "The appointment of Winston Churchill to the control of British colonial administration has a very omnious portent for the return of decency and justice and economy so much needed in the British Empire for the restoration of its financial and moral credit. This temperamental, unscrupulous and audacious and irresponsible person has done more than to ten men in the British Empire to bring disrepute and financial upon the British Government, legal unconstitutional intrigues in Russia caused the British many millions of dollars, in taxation and no less of reputation. The will succeed to the control of the Empire, Mesia and those near-Eastern countries where British imperialism is so fragrantly giving the war to Britain pretense during the war that Britain is fighting for democracy. This unscrupulous and irresponsible man can, by virtue of the powers and opportunities of his office, continue in Russia in the Near East as against Russia in England out of the dismay at the appointment of Churchill to this delicate and responsible office. It portends the end of the announced British to carry out Britain's solemn乞邮 to Egypt given thirty years ago, and again solemnly during the war, and renewed as solemnly since the close of the war. It portends some intrigue throughout the Near East and constant embroidery, confusion and ferment in other parts of the world. It has succeeded in the Balkans as the powder magazine of the white race. The power of the British people and for the sake of the people of the Near East, we hope that this man will not have freedom to follow his natural bent, and that his appointment has not the direct significance of its present appearance." While the white world is lamenting the appointment of Winston Spencer Churchill as Secretary of State for the Colonies, the English people have their reason and their purpose for appointing this man to that high office. Winston Spencer Churchill in England is like Tillman and Varduman in the United States of America, a rank Negro hater and hater of all people who are not white, and David Lloyd George, in his wisdom, I believe, appointed him to this office because he is the man that will carry out that savagery and brutality among the warriors and war races of the world through a system of exploitation that will bring to bankrupt Britain, the vengey that she so much desires. Because this is a period of exploitation for Britain, and she has searched her entire empire to find a man to do the job of exploitation, and they have singled out the Negro hater Churchill to do the job. As I have often said from the platform of Liberty Hall, the war has left the world in bankruptcy. I said that long before the American papers realised it, and before about it. I said that even before the war came to a close that the end of the war would see universal bankruptcy among the nations of Europe. And it has come true. Europe and the world is bankrupt today, and every nation is endeavoring to find new openings, new outlets for exploitation—that exploitation that will bring to them the resources, the revenue and the power necessary for their well being. Among the bankrupt nations today are Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium. I speak of these because they are great colonizing nations. Africa is a German nation is also a bankrupt nation, but there is much concerned about Germany now. Germany cannot do any harm. (Laughter.) Germany is too hemmed in by British greed, by British selfishness, that she can hardly attempt to do anything even if she desired to. But Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium are great colonial powers; they have great territories in Africa, and recently the utterances of their statesmen and the Most Successful Specialist in the Treatment of Obscure and Chronic Diseases My Success In part I am due to the careful examination I make in every case by the latest diagnostic appliances.

B. perusualons of their journals and magazines and periodicals inform the world that they are now making a desperate attempt—a desperate effort to exploit the fields of Africa. Africa from north to south, from east to west, Africa centrally, Africa's 12,000,000 square miles open up untold opportunities and advantages for these bankrupt nations of Europe, and they are mobilising all their powers, all their strength, all their energy to carry out systematically this exploitation of Africa which will, as I said last Sunday night and several weeks ago, settle a plan to monopolise Africa. Italy is sending out under the patronage of great Italian corporations hundreds and thousands of men into Italian Africa to exploit and take away from Africa the wealth that Africa contains. And while Italy is now sending out her greatest colonial exploiters and explorers, so Englano has placed in authority this great Negro later, this great imperial genius of their, who will map out a program for the next five years, for the life of the present David Lloyds George's cabinet that will mean the subserviency of every inch of land and every ounce of wealth that Africa contains. It is only a question of time. Let those fellows from Canada go out. Sometimes I take it amusingly, and sometimes I take it in a serious veil and say that those men are going out before us to prepare things and then can go and receive them should receive. Sometimes I think that God is just working out the plans of our destiny—sending them to prepare the way. You know before My treatment is different from others.

Redesemina Africa. Microscope Examination is necessary in order to establish the Micro-Genius (Germ). ple get their reasoning and their logic from that they must keep Europe, that they must take Asia and this Western Hemisphere and then take Africa and say to Negroes to get out of everywhere. I cannot understand _where_ they get their logos from. I cannot understand where they get their prejudice and foolhardiness from—looking into the faces of men and taking so realise that they are men. Up to now the white man is not convinced that Negroes were convinced that the Negro was a man he never would play the "branks" he in playing with the Negroes today. The idea of Canadians leaving far off Canada going 9,000 miles into the black man's county and talking about it as his empire. In that very place they want to go there are about 6,000 white people and 6,000,000 Negroes; and they look into the faces of these 6,000,000 Negroes and say "this place belongs to us 6,000 white people and more must come in." I cannot understand that. There did they get their nerves? They must get it from our original and ancient spirit of bowing and scrapping and cringing. They have not yet realized the New Negro. I feel sure that if Winston Spencer Churchill had met the new Negro he would never be mapping out the program he has before him now for the conquest of Africa, because he would know it was an impossibility. I do not care how powerful you believe England is; I do not care how powerful you believe Italy and France that it is only a matter of Why. And Carthage; we had Rome; we had Greece; we had Egypt; we had these great empires and nations of ancient history as our guide and inspiration. England today is no more powerful than Rome was when Rome was in her glory. Rome lived in an age when civilization had not developed to the extent it is today. But in the same proportion of human development Rome occupied a power that was relegated to the past. But England of England today. But Rome fell; Greco fell; Carthage fell; Syria fell; and I know Great Britain will fall like Lucifer, never to rise again, unless she changes her policies towards the darker races. (Cheers.) And with a man like Winston Spencer Churchill at the helm of the Colonial dominion, it is only a question of when India, when Egypt will rise in revolt because they are not going to stand for his domination and for his iron rule. We are awake and unlucky when the horizon will again rise on the horizon and then there will come the glorious opportunity for the 400,000,000 of African blood to strike a blow for their freedom and for their independence. Let no preacher peruse you; let no philosopher or prophet tell you otherwise. There are going to be wars and rumors of wars, and the best thing you can do during the time of peace is to prepare for war. I do not care what preacher or priest to me, I am preparing, for war, and when that happens, I will be ready. I and I hope it won't be me. (Laughter.) I will only pray to the Lord, "If you don't help me, don't help the other fellow."

There was someone else before Winston Spencer Churchill as Secretary of State, for the Colonies, but they wanted a better man, a man who could better interpret the spirit of the nation, and they appointed Winston Spencer Churchill.

If they are wise, they will keep that $80,000,000 and spend it in Canada; but if they want to be philanthropic—some white folks, you know, are very philanthropic. I have heard of some very kind white folks, such as the men whom Dr. Dubois goes to and associates with, who give away large sums of money for charity and few sympathy. They give away millions every year for charity. So, as I have said, I have heard of these folks. Remember, those are the kind of folks going out from Canada with this $80,000,000, and who want to be some philanthropic work to be done. That is what I believe when they go over, and we are getting ready to go over there when they are through with their work, so that we can enjoy whatever they will have done. And when we meet them there we are simply going to ask them to leave, as the place may not be large enough for two sets of people to occupy. (Laughter.) 'Africa the Continent of Light- Africa the Centient of Light. They seem to think that Africa is still the "Dark Continent." Africa is today the most brilliant continent on the globe—the continent of light. There is no darkness about Africa. Africa is so much lit that it is attracting the world. Like the moon and the sun, it attracts the world, because of its brilliance. Africa, I say, is full of light, because diamonds are there. Africa is full of light, because gold is there. Africa is full of light, because copper and tin and iron and coal and everything you can think of is there; and the white man wants light wherever he sees it shine. That's why he is going to Africa. Yet they are still trying to camouflage you about the "Dark Continent." Let it be dark until it lights itself up. Sometimes you play the fool in the dark, and somebody tries to surprise you and flashes a light on you, when in reality it is your trick. He tries to hide behind the white light, but you fool him. I believe that one of these fine mornings the flash of light of African powder will shine out, and somebody will run from his dirty darkness. I have no nothing to hide from. I have no scapegoat. I have not truth to tell where Africa is concerned. It is the land of my father. They never give it to anybody, and by my right, legal and moral, it belongs to me; that's all I cannot argue with the white man and tell him Canada is mine. I won't argue with him a second trying to convince him that America is mine. I wouldn't argue with the Englishman two minutes telling him that the great British Empire is mine. But I will spend eternity fighting with any man who wants to talk about Africa; because it is mine. Let the Canadians have Canada. Let the Americans have America. When we are through, then we will go to Africa. We are not there yet. (Laughter). You see, when you take someone from somewhere, you are responsible for that person until that person gets back. (Laughter). That just must we want our American fellow citizens and brothers in the Lord Abraham in Christ, to do. I can remember what the Bishop told the Rev. Dr. McGullo, who belongs to the same community and the same Church and the same Disciple. This white Bishop came to Dr. McGullo, preaching about "We are all brothers" and so forth. And Dr. McGullo said, wanting as a Negro, to find out the reality of this brother's religion—he went up to him, in a secluded moment, said, "Bishop, are you my brother?" is. He has made a hardwork of himself in Europe; he is pious. Take it from me, Great Britain is pious; France is pious; Italy is pious; and they have no money and no sympathy, and anywhere they can get wealth they are going there and will take it. That's why they are trying to gain or release from the obligation of that loan of $18,000,000,000 which Wilson lent him. But I believe that no long as Heurt is alive they will have a fine job on their hands in trying to accomplish anything like that with the United States. Heurt is the greatest power in the United States of America. Heurt can make war and Heurt can make peace. That's why I like Heurt so well. I have been just waiting, and I know the time is coming when Heurt is going to start up something. Heurt is going to get some President, or somebody here, whether is Democrat or Republican; but later on he is going to start something, because Heurt loves England. (Laughter.) I love England. Don't you know that? I love the British because they love me. I have often told you that if the other fellow loves me I will love him. If he hates me I hate him. Now, I know England loves me; therefore I love England. The Quality of Mercy. THE NEGRO WORLD; SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 he is still trading today—that pathway to glory to glory and shall be followed by $80,000,000, and when the end of the journey is reached and the white man answers "Hurry," and the yellow man answers "Hurry," simultaneously the black man shall answer "Hurry" (Dorothy Sanders) They tried to lie to us about Africa. Every new discovery brought to light about Africa that reveals the glory of ancient Africa and attaches to the power of the black man centuries ago, the white man turns around and attributes it to some other race. If they discover the Pyramids they were not the black man's handwork; if they discover some new hidden tables or records that attest to the civilization or the ancient glories of Egypt or Alexandria, they attribute it to some other race but the Negro. All historians have tried to bring down the Negro. That is why I read the white man's history with disgust. When I take the white man's history the class room and read it, I disgust, because of lies from start to finish as far as the Negro is conceived. You man of Liberty Hall you must rise to fill your place in the world. We want historians of our own to write in burning letters of gold the achievements of our fathers and our achievements today and the achievements of tomorrow. The Rise of the Jew.

Has an adorable daughter, wonderful hair, flaws and everything else. Great Britain, Sir Sir Rufus Jones who was but "Tudor James" 30 years ago, rose from the legal predictoe to the Attorney Generalship of Great Britain. As a Jew he rose from the Attorney Generalship of Great Britain to be Lord Chief Justice of Great Britain. From Lord Chief Justice of Great Britain he rose to be Minister Plant-penettery and Ambassador of Great Britain to the United states of America. And Where is that Jew now? He is on his way on the high seat to India at Victory of India, the representative of the King of England in the grant decision of India. That is what the Jew has achieved in the space of a couple of decades. The Jew has made a financial conquest of the world. They did it through place. You need not desire to make financial conquest because you have the physical strength. I am not talking about financial conquest because I have 99,000 people, and I have any whipping over is in dope. I have a few of us will be left after all are gone. What I sense by this is this: That we are the second largest number of people in the world and when the famine is through with China you will be the largest group of people, because I understand the famine in China is killing out one or two million a week, and if you continue for another month you will be the largest group of people in the world. So that if the world is wiped out by a war of the races, a few Negroes will be left while everybody else is gone. I am not talking about financial conquest; I am talking about physical conquest—not of America, but physical conquest of Africa. (Loud and prolonged applause.) NEW YORK ACADEMY AND WESTCHESTER TEAMS CLASH Wednesday evening, March 9, that is the day; the great day on which the New York Academy Basket Ball Team will measure arms with the Westchester boys. Both are at all of complete victory. Both are the highest faith in the prowess of their men and tactics. The Academy boys are more than confident of victory. They are out for record of games won. They are the greatest great hit, so zealously have they practiced, and have been drilled by many coaches to the very edge of efficiency. The first game between the Academy Footprints and the Pan Tans of Brooklyn will be called at nine bells. These youngsters are confident of taking home the bacon of victory. They have proved their mattle on many courts and while it will not be a complete walkover for them to get victory, they are sure they have the better team. The Fan Tans of Brooklyn are also confident, and when each side is confident of victory the publico may expect some very fine sport, and clean sport at that, for it has been announced that nothing ugly will be tolerated in the Academy Club, and it is known by all its members to consider treatment from their oppo- tions. This is enough until next week when you will take up this paper and see that the two teams of the Academy have cooked the bacon and eaten it up.

The dollar, before the war, was 5 francs 40 centimes, and now it is 15 francs. A france was about 81.12. Cora meal is at 1 france 69 centimes per pound; flour, 2 francs per pound; rice, 2 francs 40 centimes; sugar, 1 france 80 centimes; some folks are compelled to take their coffee without sugar. A yard of white cotton, 6 francs; 1 reel thread, 2 francs; small reels, 40 centimes. Lots of coffee are opened. There are now 16 proceries. Clothes are at a high rate. The young people are marrying very often and divorcing quickly after. The new municipality of St. Martin is composed of the most able men of the island and are giving especial attention to the question of public, free and obligatory primary instruction; the previous reactionary municipalities never occupied themselves with anything good; they simply dream of a probable resurrection of Napoleon I or Louis XIV or their prototype as emperor or king of France. The members of the new municipality are mostly young men, are all of African descent and are farvent republicans and active citizens. The municipality affords two public schools and a hospital will soon be realized facts. France, everybody knows, is a democratic and representative republic and will continue to be so indefinitely. It would be madness for any French West Indian to foresse or predict a change in the form of the government which regime is becoming universally appreciated and adopted. On January 9 there were in Guadajoue and dependencies the senatorial elections. The candidates were citizens Boelmout, Duboisille, Honcourt and Bervenger; we ignore results of same. It would be right that in St. Martin, as in each of the West Indian Islands, a Liberty Hall, similar to the one in New York, be established; it would redound in benefit of the Negro people in those islands who are oppressed and scorned by their white brethren. We would insist also that in the British and Dutch West Indies a popular, elective, representative and alternative government replace the filth "Grow Cowl" system with its inaspectiveness, its inequalities and prejudices. The writer of this article is of the opinion that every Negro the wide world over should prize citizenship in elective franchise and ship and elective franchise in any country means something. We thus advocate free suffrage for all males over 20 years; we insist that without free ballot no other right can be secured or held. We urge the participation in politics of every intelligent Negro citizen. In closing it will be not useless to state that as far as st. Martin, F. D. is concerned, all males at from the age of 12 have the right of free suffrage, are electors and eligible and consequently are full desiged French citizens. FILOGENIS MAILLARD.

Walker, had as guests at her political residence, 108 West 18th street, the committee and workers for the Child Welfare and Recreation Center in Harlem on February 23. There was a large gathering of New York's elite, who are taking hold of the movement with an enthusiasm which augurs well for its success. James H. Hubert, executive secretary of the local Urban League, in the course of a few remarks told how cases of distress of poor mothers coming to the League had impressed him with the need for the center. The committee in charge, together with the various capitals, have mapped out the schedule of events which will appear with blase New York.

His being a man of considerable h, and Egbert being his only child duged his every whim and gave a comfortable monthly allowance affy his wish. George DeForrest was known this, and also Hamilton was to be joined at Fred Dawson's party.

The big was-remained and continued BRUCE GRITS COLUMN until 3 A. M., when the gay young people got their wraps and assembled in the reservation seem to await the arrival of the motor bus which had been sent for by the elder Dawson to take them to their several homes. Young Hamilton was the last to enter the room; his face was fused and he seemed very much agitated. Calling Fred Dawson to a corner of the room he told him quietly that he had been robbed, that someone had abstracted from his coat pocket a leather wallet which contained $1,000 in bills. Fred Dawson, without showing on his face that anything unusual had occurred, stepped into the center of the reception hall and said in the most pleasant and engaging tone, "I wish all of the gentlemen here to go with me into the parlor for a moment." and with a merry twinkle in his eyes he added, addressing the ladies, "Ladies, you are positively forbidden to follow us." Whereas the ladies hinted that Fred had omitted to open at the guest table a certain brand of wine, and that he was now going to pull the cork and have a nightcap with his old chums. All the men went into the parlor as requested and Fred Dawson led the way, followed by Egbert Hamilton, still flushed but less agitated. George DeForest, who was talking to a very lovely girl near a window of the room did not seem to have heard the invitation. "Aren't you going with the others?" asked the young lady. "Fred has invited all of the men to see him in the parlor, they are having a spiritual meeting of men in there." "Obl did her?" asked DeForest. Fred Dawson at that moment returned to the room and said quite peacefully, "Mr. DeForest, we are waiting for you." "Very well, Mr. Dawson," he replied, and he walked into the parlor. Then he said, "Gentlemen. I have called you here to inform you that one of no joy has has had a wallet containing a large sum of money. We are all gentlemen and all of us, I hope, are honest men. No honest man in a matter of this kind will object Housing Conditions In Hades Worse For a long time the population of Hades has been growing by leaps and bounds, and the opportunity for obtaining accommodations there has become increasingly slim, due largely to the fact that the white peoples of Europe and America have been migrating to the subterranean territory that first flourished years, and have taken possession of all the available places of habitation there. The old slave traders' section in the southern part of Hades was one of the first settlements established there in our modern era. These sections are very thickly populated and new accessiones from the Southern States, are arriving daily, now that the lynching industry has taken on new impetus. The Southerner somehow or other has a strong liking for Hades. Indeed they have been going there for such a long time and in such great numbers that the place resembles Georgia, one of the worst States in the Union, both before and since the late Civil War, more than the State of Perdition, which was set up centuries ago to accommodate Michael, and the robber his leadership, who started the war in Heaven. They found out that "War is Hell". Before they had proceeded very far, and they also found considerable Holl in the regions into which the lynchocrats of the South are today pouring by the thousands. Let the good work keep up, even if the whole South must be populated. The High Cost of Drugs. I had occasion a few days ago to visit a certain German specialist in Harlem, who is quite expert in the treatment of chronic diseases, and who has hundreds of Negro patients. He is an honest, conscientious man, a painstaking, sympathetic physician, and the people flock to him because they get results. On my visit to his office he gave me a thorough examination and prescribed a certain tablet (trypsenogen) which is made in Huntersville, NC, and at all time have this drug himself. (He furnishes medicines free to all his patients, and only charges $2 for physical examinations and treatment.) I took the prescription he gave me to a certain drug store in Harlem. It called THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 to be earned, nor are they a reflection on his honesty or integrity to submit to a search. The circumstances under which this wallet was lost make it quite evident that one of the men in this group has taken it. I do not make a specific charge against any of you gentlemen, but I am quite sure that the wallet will be found with the money intact. Now gentlemen, the search," said Fred Dawson. Erbert Hamilton took occasion to say that whoever has taken the wallet would have a pink gloves on the finger and a gift to it to give him the inside flap of the wallet and been treated with an impalpable pink powder which was insidable. "Hold up your hands," said Fred Dawson. Up went all hands, including George DeForest's. They were all free from the incriminating pink spot. Then everybody looked in amusement of the other, and George DeForest looked defiant. "Now, gentlemen," said Fred Dawson, you all wore gloves on tonight. We'll examine your gloves, peas them along, please." The gloves were handed to him and minutely examined. DeForest hesitated, but finally handed over his gloves; on the forehand of the right gloves was the Pink Stain. "Thou art the man," said Fred Dawson. "Hand over that vallet." DeForest turned pale and started for the door. "You'll find it locked, DeForest, and Dawson calmly. You give up that vallet and save us the trouble of taking it from you by force." Seeing that the odds were against him, he thrust his hands into an inner pocket of his coat and pulling out the wallet, handed it to Fred Dawson, and began to mumble something "Not a word, DeForest, "you are a thief." "Mr. Proston," said Fred Dawson, "step to the phone there and call up the chief of police, ask him to send an officer to this house at once to arrest a pickpocket caught with the goode. In ten minutes an officer on a bicycle arrived and was told what had occurred, and on hearing the story of the theft of the wallet and Egbert Hamilton's complaint and direct charge against DeForrest, he arrested the latter and took him away. Two weeks after this occurrence, DeForrest was given five years for his clever social adventure. February 21, 1921. for twenty-four tablets. The druggist put them up, handed me the box with a smile, and brazenly charged me $1.25, therefore, which I paid. On my next visit to the physician, he looked me over, and saw that I was improving and ordered me to renew this prescription. I incidentally remarked that the last twenty-four tablets had cost me $1.35, and that I thought that rather expensive for twenty-four tablets. "Did your drugist have the offerritory to charge you $1.35 for those tablets?" he asked. I said he did, and that he smiled when making the charge. "Well, that is a clear case of extortion, and some outcry should be made against these people who are robbing the Nogroos of Harlem. No wonder they are getting rich—those tablets can be purchased for considerably less in the larger drug store downtown. You have this prescription filled at—— and let me know what they cost. It calls for 100, and I don't believe the cost will exceed $1.50 (they cost exactly $1.45). I gave another patient of mine a prescription a few days ago, as I didn't happen to have any of the medicine I was buying, so I went back here, who charged with $3 for the bottle. The drug costs exactly five dollars—the quart of water he put with it cost practically nothing, the bottle, cork and label cost him say 15 cents. So you see how much profit he made." I saw, and I made up my mind that my drugist will miss me hereafter. If I do not hear from him favorably after he reads this, somebody else will. Japan and the Darker Races. The day of the super-government among nations is rapidly coming to an end. There are signs and omens which indicate that the Almighty is preparing to bring the career of this old world to a close. He is disarranging the plans of the strong nations who have hitherto dominated the world with a rod of iron, and set mates and bounds for weaker races and nations whom they have used as a weaver uses his shuttlecock, to compass their selfish, arrogant and ambitious aim.

But this was not according to God's plan, because it lacked the element of justice. God's justion in that it sought to shut out from participation in the victory to which man of all nations, pieces and tongues had contributed as much and more in blood and sacrifice than those who are immediately responsible for the enanguished conflict that "made the earth its theatre and set the world in tears."

Japan has raised the race equality issue to test the good faith and sense of honor of the white races who are now wriggling and squirming, sidestepping, equivocating and gesticulating. But Japan has the call, and it must be answered man fashion. Conceding territory in Siberia to Japan as a sop is not the answer. The races that were considered to be good enough to wear the uniforms of these European nations as war and to fight their battles ought to be good enough to share in the results of the viet. and the conquering nations ought to be willing to admit the racial equality of those races who saved Europe for ever overruling Japan, India, Africa, the British West Indies and the islands of the Sea, which contributed thousands on thousands of brown and yellow troops, Germany would wired England and France off the map.

The Wilson and Lloyd Georges et al. have played a losing game, justice always triumphs in the end, and the end is very, very near. Tonguey People. "Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how great a matter a little fire kindloth! And the tongue is a fire a world of iniquity; so is the tongue among its members; that it defileth whole body, and seeth it set on the course of nature, and it is set on fire o' holl." So wrote the Apostle James, and we may infer from the strength and vigor of his language that in his day, as in this, there were lilars and trouble makers, scandalmongors and gossips who set on fire the course of nature because their tongues "were set on fire of hell." There were undoubtedly boastful lilars, brazen lilars, cold-blooded mischief-making lilars, artistic lilars and plain lilars, who kept the neighborhood in turmoil by their lilars, just as modern lilars do in this more recent period. The young age the gossipar, whether "it wilt" perforate, is a dangerous biped and should be shunned as we would a viper or a bosconstrictor. It is the least useful of a lil' the evils with which mankind is afflicted. There are some evils that are necessary, but a lilar is not one of them. Nobody cares for or respects a lilar. Once he is discovered he becomes a masked man, whose word has no value among honorable people even when he unconciously tells the truth. There are many kinds of men, among them is the theatritheme, notchrotheme li- who she does the pleasure it gives (if there is any pleasure in lyrics). There is the sighful, malicious, welcome liar when heart is stopped in the gall of titterrhea, and who is really a character occasion and has no good word for anybody. There is the social liar, when we meet at parties and other public gatherings, who is disgustingly effective and flattering when he or she takes your hand to greet you if an old acquaintance, or to congratulate you if it is public, speaker, and tell you how glad they are to see you or what a wonderful speech you made or how 'entrancingly and beautifully' you sang your solo. Follow these lilies after they have left you and you will hear their real opinion of your clothes, your speech or your song. The kissing lilar is another species of this biped—they will slobber all over you, even if they had onions for supper, and twenty minutes afterward will abuse you like a pick-pocket to some other victim of their art. 'If you have on a new dress or hat or some new jewelry they will give cryptic words and made that thrue, cryptic words and made that thrue, borrowed, stolen, or the gift of somebody other than your husband. These female lilars profess to know all about other women's affairs and do not hesitate to cruelly them when they dress better, look younger and live in a more expensive flat or apartment than themselves. Swat the lilar! They are pestiferous nuisances, scabs on society, who should be forced to live on what they feed—oaf, and among the tumble bugs who delight to wallow in it. LIBERIA TO OFFER US AFRICAN NAVAL BASE IN RETURN FOR LOAN, SPANISH REPORTS SAY Madrid, Feb. 27.—Reports are in circulation here that Liberia will oede to the United States a naval base on the western coast of Africa in return for a loan which C. D. B. King, President of the little republic, has gone to America to negotiate. In commenting on the subject the Nuevo Mundo speculates upon the position of the Spanish colonies along the African coast if such a project should be carried out. The newspaper argues that an American loan would be the first step toward the establishment of the United States on African soil, and suggests that, owing to their pervious position Spanish Guinea, Rio de Oro and Fuenando Pu might be sold with advantage to the United States. As an alternation to the American newspaper says it might be well to ask the rumored American-Liberian agreement was leading, because "Spanish possessions-there would be insufficienf if an American naval base should be established in Liberia, and Spain would maintain her "sovereignty only with the permission of Washington." The small republic of Liberia lies between the Spanish colonies in West Africa. The first of these colonies, Río de Oro, is a small, irregular territory lying on the west coast of the Sahara, carved out of the immense French protectorate. It lies about 1,600 miles to the north of Liberia. The island of Fernando Po and the small territory of Spanish Guinea lie about the same distance to the east of Liberia, neighbors of the former German colony of Bremen. With the exception of Liberia, which is independent, all the territory around the Spanish colonies is controlled by the French, British and Belgians. The nearest land of the Western Hemisphere to Liberia is the eastern projection of Brazil, the distance being only about 1,700 miles.

The closing of the Tremont Trust Company by Bank Commission after last week brought them to many individuals and organizations, whose funds are now tied up illegitimately. While it is believed that the bank is solvent it is a foreseeable conclusion that until the books of the company are audited, no one knows exactly how much the depositors will receive. Simon Swirs the moving figure in the Tremont Trust Company has declared that every depositor will be paid 100 cents on the dollar. The same statement came from officials of other banks closed in the early fall of 1926, but from what can be gathered it is no longer alleged that only savings depositors will receive the major portion of their deposits while those with checking accounts will receive only a part of their deposits. The Tremont Trust had the unique distinction of taking a number of every race hereabouts in its bank—this in order to encourage depositors from the constituencies group hereabouts. The Irish Jew, Kegro, Yankee, Italian, Greek and Chinaman was well represented on the list of employees. This was a Mr. Swig's way of doing things. And whether this is the correct way of amassing wealth and inviting confidence in banking only Mr. Swig is able to say. It may be interesting to Chronicle readers to know that some of those who now have their funds tied up in the Tremont Trust Company, first and foremost on the list is the name of Dr. Ga-*and* who has a tidd little sum tied up in the closed bank. It will be remembered that some time ago, Dr. Garland was made one of the directors of the Tremont Trust Company, and this action on the part of the officials of the closed bank was halted as a fine bit of recognition of the colored man. Soon after many prominent citizens of color became depositors in the 'ink. Some of them with approximate amounts appending follow: The Foremosts over $2,000. Ebenezer Baptist Church over $4,400. People's Baptist Church nearly $2,000. League of Women for Community Service $400. Bay State Pharmacy. Madison ice cream parlor. David E. Walker Lodge W. A. Johnson Manufacturing The much as been said pro and con- sistent in what is popularly known as New Carvery movement and so much valuable time to the Negro has been treated by some of these discussions that is now seem imperatively neces- sary, for his own preservation, that a higher-view of the political-economic phase of this movement be put to him. The world as we know it is com- menced largely of two different kinds of nations—the highly organised and the less highly developed. By highly or- ganised is meant those nations that have reached a full measure of political and industrial development and by less highly developed is meant those whose lands are rich in natural resources but who have not reached that industrial development which would permit a successful exploitation of their material resources. When a highly organized nation reaches a full measure of industrial and political development, the natural tendency is to seek fresh fields for its excess energy by attaching to its organization the lands of those less highly developed peoples and calling them "colonies," "protectores," "spheres of influence," etc. The question of whether this procedure is "right" is bound up in the question of what constitutes "might," so that a short study of the forces that produce might, from the nationalistic point of view, would not be amiss. The greatest of these "might producer" is the state which is an organization for the pursuit of the economic ends of nations; Government of those and ministers are the interests of that pursuit; and commerce is the greatest of all political interests. Before the year 1789 the life of an individual was for the most part slow, inefficient and uneconomic, but in the last century it has become highly industrialised and commercialised until today there is hardly a branch of industrial life which is not subjected to State influence, control or interference. If right is so closely bound up in might and the State is the greatest might producer, what must we as Negroes learn from it all? Is it not that we must develop a state or our own, pertent an organization for the pursuit of economic ends which will insure to our benefit a people? Any other mode of life, here or anywhere, outside of a state of our own, is life devoted to and in the interests of those who control that state? Does the Negro control a state of his own? No? Then for whose benefit does his labor and live if it is not for those who control the state in which he lives? History is full of cases of organized states attempting to and actually controlling, for economic ends, the peoples of less highly developed states. And these does not alone at the dictates of state, but in order to foster the growth of the trade of the country seeking control and in order to find an outlet for their surplus energy. And this condition has brought about another condition in which was the rulers who are neither sufferer nor independent, a mass of "protestantes," "spheres of influence," "persuasive leses," "peaceful penetration," "congestions," "diplomatic pressure," "by advice," "all of which are political, soothing salve or cloaks to conceal the powerful, highly organised state in its encroachments upon less highly developed peoples. on the land of our fathers, the land which gave matter to the Infant Jesus when his life was sought by Hurd, highly organized states are exploiting for economic ends to the extent that in 1814 France had "acquired" 4,281,000 square miles; Great Britain 2,485,000, Germany 7,838,000, Italy 1,096,000, Belgium 800,000, Portugal 785,000 and Brazil 718,000 square miles. Commerce is the greatest of all political interests for it is through commerce and its auxiliaries, such as factories, land holdings, customs duties, automobile ownership, etc., that the state connects its taxes and licenses and it is through these, in turn, that industries, industries, coast defense areas, etc., are made possible. If, in the hand of our fathers these 11,858,000 square miles of territory, now under their control, were under the control of a highly organized political and communal power, state, dare any nation, almost all their land, Lynch, bury, ill treat of government against a Negro citizen who has a degree. on his return from CUBA, where he has been on a tour of Official Visits to the many Divisions of the U. N. I. A. in that island. His Grace has a wonderful report of his doings while on the great Island to make to us, and it is requested that every Negro in Harlem come out to hear him on March 9, 1921, at Liberty Hall. Leastly, negroes should never forget that no highly organised and powerful nation runs amuck in the lands of less highly developed peoples through "motives of philanthropy." or "the dictates of duty." After the smoke of skimish has been cleared away, a commercial treaty always comes to light, in which the less highly developed peoples are used as the tools by means of which untold richas pour into the coffers of the highly organized and powerful nations. If negroes are really sincere in their condemnation of the treatment received at the hands of white civilization then, unquestionably, the so-called "garvey movement" is pointing out the one and only remedial way. After all, does it require such a mental effort to realize that there is more manhood and independence bound up in the policy of being the tool by means of which untold riches shall pour into our own coffees as a people than in being the t... by which the riches are poured into the coffers of alton peoples?

He spoke fluently and effectively, showing the possession of no mean qualities as an orator. He said he was proud that he was black that many white men with whom he came in contact told him that he was different from the rest of our people. To this he said he invariably replied that he is no different from others, excepting perhaps that he may have had a chance which some did not have. He however, depreciated the Negro depending upon chances and the caprices of the white man. We should be given an equal opportunity, he said, the same as other races. The white man must change his attitude toward the black man; if he wants to maintain his status in the world's history. This statement evoked considerable applause. He believed, he said, in the gradual evolution of the black man; that he was not preaching revolution, but that in the course of evolution revolution will take care of itself. He strongly, urged that the friends and members of the Association continue to carry on the work; for even if it fall (which he said he believed it would be), a seed will have been planted in time will bring forth good fruit. He spoke of an effort being made to create a music bureau in connection with the U. N. I. A., the purpose of which will be the consolidation of all Negro artists with a view of encouraging them, and creating for them an opportunity for the giving forth of a proper expression of their interpretation of their endowments in music; that they may be able to demonstrate to the world that among our people are men and women whose ability and capacity in music is as great or greater even than that of any of the world renowned artists of the world race. In this connection, he said, a special musical programme will be given in Liberty Hall on Sunday afternoon, March 20th, by the Martin Smith School. The music that will be rendered on that occasion, he said will be of the very highest order, and of a most attractive character, and that the programme will be such that the occasion will be one of the most famous and long to be remembered in the history of Liberty Hall. Mr. Dickson Speaks. Mr. Dickson, also a young man and one of those who was successful in the recent oratorical contest held 'u Liberty Hall shortly prior to the departure of the President General on his trip South, followed Mr. Corbile as the next speaker. Mr. Dickson is a published speaker, with a pleasing voice. His style is very florid, and, like most young speakers, abounds in embellishments and figures of speech. He spoke of the New Negro as having thrown off the cringing attitude of the sycophant, which characterized the Ne- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 gross of the older school. This, he said, is an age when all the peoples of the world are demanding their rights; when the Negro must not only clamor for, but must fight for his rights and for his liberty. He said that the sufferings we have endured and are enduring at the hands of other races will be returned to them many fold sooner or later, and pointed to the devastation of Belgium by the Germans in the World War as an illustration of this, which was a mere retribution to the Belgians in return for the terrible atrocities they had perpetrated against our people in the Congo Free State. He urged upon every one the concentration of effort, physical, mental and financial, in the cause of the building up of Liberia, the redemption of Africa and the founding of an African empire, an empire with her armies and her navies able to defend her shores and her people from outside attack or invasion: an empire of which Ethiopia may be proud and which the world will be compelled to recognise and accept into the family of nations; an empire in respect of which the black man may truly say, in the language of the poet: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead The Chancellor, Dr. Stewart, further announced that on Tuesday evening, March 8, a grand reception and dinner will be given in honor of and as a welcome to the Chaplain-General, the Rev. Dr George A. Alexander, who recently returned from his mission to Cuba in the interests of the U. N. I. A., where he had done a great work. Particular concerning the dinner were explained by Mr. Arnold J. Ford, musical director of the choir, who has charge of the arrangements. Dr. Stewart will preside at the meeting, and a special musical program is being arranged by Prof. Ford in collaboration with Prof. Iales that will be in keeping with the occasion, which it is expected will be one of extraordinary character and interest. Mr. H. V. Plummer, publicity agent of the U. N. I. A., read several announcements and said, referring to his being one of the party that had called in the afternoon to pay their respects to President King, of the Republic of Liberia in the name of the association, that, like Julius Camar, who, when he had crossed the Rubicon, said: "I came, I saw, I conquered," so the party felt that they, too, had come, had seen and had conquered, when, on being taken up to the second floor of the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria to the apartments of the President, they found there, standing outside of his doors, the white representatives of the State Department at Washington, all waiting upon Negroes and showing great deference and high respect to the Liberian President. The scene, he said, made their hearts leap with joy; and he only wished that the President General of the association, the Hon. Marous Garvey, could himself have been present to witness it. As usual the customary musical program by the Black Star Line Band and the U. N. I. A. Cloise was rendered as a preliminary to the meeting. This was of the same high order of excellence as have marked all previous efforts of these now famous musicians and singers who have become inseparably connected and identified with the work of the U. N. I. A. in Liberty Hall, the cradle of Negro liberty. $60.00 FOR $10.00 I will give you $60.00 for the first $10.00 BIG IDLEWILD LOT SALE A $600 lot reduced to $180. Price cut for quick sale.

HAYTIAN DELEGATION TELLS OF PRESENT CONDITIONS THERE In Statement to The Globe They Answer Admiral Knapp on Morality and Education. Denying that moral and intellectual conditions in Hayti are of the character attributed by Admiral Knapp, the Argentine retelling the United States today made a statement to The Globe of the situation in the island. In it they describe existing conditions, including the state of education, and give the Haytian point of view regarding the military occupation by American forces. They state that conditions have somewhat improved during the past seven months, but are still far from satisfactory. The statement to The Globe, made by the delegation Percelvall Theory and Staino Vincent, is as follows: The military occupation began July 12, 1915, when Admiral Caperton landed the American forces. By his proclamation of September 2, 1915, he established martial law and military courts all over the republic. And from that time to now it has been in full force. However, since the Negotiations pign in the United States about six months ago it seems that no Haytian courts have brought before the military courts. Free press and free speech have been allowed. And the Haytians are very grateful to their American friends to whom are due these results after more than five years of the most automatic military despotism. Until now, no official proclamation has put an end to martial law and military courts, and the Haytians still fear that the terrific regime may be put again in full force. It is sure that certain financial interests backing the military occupation. Geleize its maintenance for their aims in monopolizing the Haytian business. It is the real reason for the slandering campaign against Hayt and the Haytians. The Haitian common people, the laborers, those of the soil and those of the cities, are accustomed to travel abroad. During the last six years about one hundred thousand Haitian laborers have gone into the cane fields of Cuba and Santo Domingo. From the managers of the sugar plants of these countries never came a complaint about any uncontrolled act committed by them. During the American occupation in Cuba, in a report to his government, General Leonard Wood spoke of the Haitians as good and efficient laborers. The Haitian emigration, particularly in the west and north departments of "vrt," increased since the established of the curve system and arbitrary presupposition of the interior office of the Haitian constitution. The Haitian peasants are small farmers. Besides the usual cultivation of their lots, they raise pigs, pigs and cattle. They are consequently attached to their native land. But the American officers were so harsh and brutal that these people disgusted and fledging oppression, sold their property and went over with their wives and children to Cuba and other neighboring islands. From, religious point of view, Hayt is as well and better organized than other Catholic republics of the new world. There are 12 Catholic parishes in Hayt. At the head of each parish is a pastor a French priest, besides his assistant. At the head of the Catholic parish is an archbishop residing at Port-au-Prince a bishop in Cap-Haytian and another one in Aux Cayes. We have also Protestant missionaries from England and from the United States in Port-au-Prince. St. Marc, Cap-Haytian, Grande Rivière du Nord, and Jeremie. the school system is good in Hayt, curriculum. For higher education we have in Port-au-Prince schools of medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, and for clinical study two hospitals—Hospital General and Saint Francois de Bales; a national school of law in Port-au-Prince one in Cap-Haytian, and another one in Aux Cayes; a school of engineering and architecture and a school of commerce. As for the secondary schools we have six syllabus. We have the College St. Martial. College St. Louis de Gonzague. College Louverture, and many other schools of importance. The Haytians have not neglected the education of the girls. They have very good schools. The school of St. Rose de Lima, managed by French nuns of the order of St. Joseph de Cluny, the schools of Les Soueurs de la Segagne are as modernly equipped as any high school in the United States. Beside these the Sisters and Brothers, all French, maintain in almost all the districts of the United States education. We must add that Haytian has a real high school for girls. All these educational establishments have the help of the government. For primary education the government has a great number of schools for both girls and boys, managed by Haytian teachers and French Brothers and Sisters. In the rural district there are rural government schools and schools controlled by the priests. Although there are two Protestants in Haryd, they have organised in Port-au-Prince and several other cities of the republic good public schools.

Mr. Turrell is housed in a fine building. All the school organization is Hayton work. The American occupation has been working since it became strong and quite surprising to find in Admiral Kemp's report such an augmented charge of literacy against the Hayton people, when not a single school house has been built down there by the American officials after nearly six years of occupation. Whatever Admiral Kemp may think, in spite of the fact that the Hayton have received no assistance at all from the American occupation, they have been able to maintain public education in the country, there are fewer illiterates in Hayton than in the new Bulkán States. What Hayton predecebs is that, as the present time, is more primary and rural schools, better and more modern buildings to house them, and better pay for the teachers. That is all a question of money. in the moral and intellectual situation of Hayti depleted by Admiral Kemp is not a correct statement. He has probably been misled by inaccurate reports. According to our investigation he did "that go to the Haytan sources to get the necessary documents on which to base his report on public education in Hayti. PERCEVAL THOSY, STEINIO VENCENT. Delegates of the Haytan People. New York, March 2 (New York Globe, March 2) MR. GILPIN'S OPINION. Mr. Charles Gipkin actually attended the dinner given by the Drama League yesterday. We are very glad to learn that he was so warmly greeted by the members of the league. I am not going to enter into full details of the event. The thing that struck me quite dumb was when Mr. Gipkin was asked if he was in sympathy with the "Back to Africa Movement" of some of the Negro leaders, he replied that he was not. Here is where I am sorry for Mr. Gipkin for not knowing the significance of being a part of or at least being in harmony with such a constructive race movement. You will hardly find an Irishman who was born in America who is not in sympathy with Ireland securing home rule. The same thing is true of the Jews and of every other race of people in this country that are descendants of a foreign race. Does Mr. Gilpin know that his forefathers were brought to America against their will 322 years ago and landed upon the shores of Virginia? Hence it was a matter of mere accident or through the act of brute force we Negroes were born in America. I trust the members of the leagus did not take it for granted that Mr. Gilpin spoke the opinion of other Negroes who were born here, as he has not got the spirit and determination of the New Negro. H.G. S. COLORED CITIZENS. An appeal has been issued by missionaries from Africa under the auspices of the African Christian Association, with a view to improving the relations between the white and blacks in Liverpool. The appeal states: "A great nation such as the British, with its noble traditions, and with an Empire comprising millions of colored subjects, cannot afford to support any policy of dissimilarity of treatment or regard of its subjects because of color; all the more so because the colored peoples of this Empire have never been surpassed in their endeavor to safeguard the integrity and solidarity of the Empire." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 An Address Delivered in Detroit, Michigan. Mr. President, Gilberts, members and Friends: I can assure you that I consider it an honor to appear before you this evening. It is no small privilages accorded me in this opportunity to read to you on behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League. Let me beseach you to accept this opportunity as the last; and only means of forming a nation and a government of our own. The past has revealed, to you all its secrets, the future hangs over you like the mist in the morning, but the present is as clear and distinct as a midday sun, therefore I implore you to act, and act now. You are the master of your fate, and you are the captain of your soul. We are standing on the threshold of a new era, you and I must prepare ourselves to do the will of God towards all men. A universal brotherhood is not far off, social injustice must be fought, liberality in religions and democracy must be unbald; truth, freedom and reason must be our motto. Looking around the four cardinal points of the world, I can see a Europe with millions of white souls striving ardently to reorganise their governments for a better day, and throw off the yokes of oppression which has long deprived them of their liberty. I can see in Asia millions of yellow souls exhibiting a spirit of determination to foster the brotherhood (of God) of man amongst the entire nations of the earth, and at the same time demanding recognition for all mankind. I can see the weaker peoples of America forming a coalition to protect themselves from the onslaught of their more powerful neighbors, and cohort of their enemies, and lastly I see four hundred millions of black souls, descendants of Africa, scattered all over the earth, without any protection, no aims or object, no desire for anything, but a dying soul of three hundred years' servitude and oppression to save. Sisters and Brothers, since that is so, can we not see a brighter future for our race through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, an organization founded by God, through Marcus Garvey, whose motto is and ever shall be one God, one aim and one destiny. This organisation with its mission to help souls is determined by the balp of Providence to find a place in the sun, to establish a government in Africa, the land of our fathers, for the protection and education of our peoples all over the globe, and to foster universal brotherhood among the seeds of man. Hear the voices of Marus Garvey, the redeemer of our race, the great little man of the hour and lord of fallen humanity, who has arisen amongst the negroes of the earth, as Moses stood with soul and word, for the deliverance of the race, and restoration of Africa, the land of our heritage for Look!

Think for one moment of a negro, a man whose love for his race made him atop to low priests, insults, reproaches and inconveniences to work out the destiny of his people, has today after several years of good faith, and the help of the Supreme Master, accumulated sufficient to enable us to play our part in modern civilisation and be a factor to be reckoned within the affairs of men, by establishing the Black Star Line Company and Enable Factories Corporation to enable us to form a plan and program, to lift our commercial political and civil status in Africa, West Indies, United States, Canada, San Diego and Central America, and all other countries where negroes abode also the gathering together representatives of the negro race from all parts of the globe into Liberty Hall, New York, totalling over eighteen thousand, totalling after being in session for thirty-one days has formed a government that cannot be disputed, and one that demands recognition of all other governments of the world. Must we not feel proud and ask ourselves the question as negro men and women, why in the name of God we should not support such a man and the things that he stands for, more so when it is for our own benefit. Awake, awake, awake, fellow citizens of Africa, sleep no longer in that sleep of death; the hour has come. Marons Garvey, under the leadership of God, gives command; turn your ploughshare into swords, your pruning books inh. spears; nation his risen against nation for the cause of Africa. Europe is afame for our heritage, the land of our fathers, England, France, Belgium, Italy and Portugal are trying to devour each other for the largest slices of Africa. Why is this great tumult for the negroes' land? It is because Africa has mineral wealth and agriculture to the extent that no other country has. Her copper, her gold and diamond mines, her rubber and palm oil, her ebony and mahogany, her cocoa and coffee enable all the capitalist to pile up big fortunes for themselves. It is high time for us to gird our armor on and stand to face the foes and oppressors of our race.

With The Contributina Editor ANOTHER NEGRO POET. Mubert H. Harrison the passing of Lucian B. Watkins, whose loss to the race was so ably get forth in an editorial by Mr. Ferris in the issue of last week, has served to remind us that our Negro poets never get properly notied by us until they have been taken up either by death or by the white people. This is most unfortunate and it is to be hoped that we may soon pass from under this shadow. At present we have with us in the flash, another great black poet who has recently returned to us after a year in London where his poetic gifts have received fitting acknowledgments from the British people. We refer to Claude McKay who brought out while in England a small volume of high grade verse entitled "Spring in New Hampshire and Other Poems." The title of commendation which it called earth reached its highest mark in the Cambridge Magazine, a periodical which sells for a dollar and a quarter a year. And yet, which of our Negro literati knows anything about McKay? Nevertheless, his talents are so well known among the whites that upon his return from England he was promptly offered the position as associate editor of The Librarian, one of "the most prominent American" magazines. This offer has been accepted—and none of the subscribers has left the magazine. This is the first time that a Negro has held such a position in America; although the writer of this has himself been on the staff of this same magazine during 1911 when it was under the editorship of Piet Vlag and was known as "The Pharaoh." Mr McKay had waited until one of his rare publications had given such recognition to his genius he would have arrived to death first. Yet his famous poem "of new Negro manhood, entitled 'We Must Die,'" has been quoted in Grassman and rectified by many of our scholars and eloquentists. The volume, "Spirits in New Hampshire," is published by Grant Richards, Ltd., of St. Martin's Street, London. The book also, however, be obtained direct from Mr McKay whose present address is in one of The Liberator, 188 West 13th Street, New York. A review of the book and a formal estimate of its writer's genius will appear in these columns later. We saw "colored" photos could read the life Stephen Bircham has to say about one portion of their work in his mount book, "The Soul of John Brown." They would blush the shame. For while the white crite praises them sparingly, the black battles gifts his pokes including fan at them for their persistence by "making up" as if they were white people playing to white audiences. His attitude is well mortified. Consider what the practice implies. If Negroes were people then it would be people that Negro audiences should be appointed to see Negroes as serving room guests, doctors, detectives, government financiers, etc., in the office of the floodlights. But if folks there be considered as people unless they are unlike Negroes, then, of course, such actors should never look like Negroes. We cannot eat our cake and serve it too. One of the fine features of Charles Dilhoff's acting while at the Lafayette (where "we" couldn't recognize that he was the greatest actor until white people used him so) was that he was never accused in "making up" for his parts in the audience see the race to whom he belonged. And this is what the Lafayette Players are never permitted to do, except in the smocky of "normal comedy." We do not intend this, as any disagreement of their minds or their abilities, and we firmly believe that they are an fine, body of work. An American can show—when he is short time given them to prepare a play to perform into consideration. But we think about this matter of their identity, the shoes would be cleared up to the great satisfaction of the community which benefits for them, not when Marge plays goers. --- HUBFKT H. HARRISON Briggs is a very light Mulatto; but as self-respecting Negroes, we both take the same stand on this matter. "Miss Cee Desmond in The Nutter and Nine" with a white face and a wig of golden hair certainly added nothing by her makeup to the illusion of the play. On the contrary, by introducing the ridiculous aides helped greatly to mar that illusion. Whose is this idea of white washing, anyhow, and for what purpose was it designed? All who go to the Lafayette Theatre understand and expect the plays will be presented by Negroes. It is not necessary for these Negroes to come up as white people simply because the plays were originally written for and by white people. French actors in presenting an English play do not all attempt to make up like English people, and there are quite wide differences between the two peoples. It is only when a special typical British character is called for in the cast that the French actor to whom the part is assigned tries to make up like and imitate the exact menarions of the Englishman. One would as soon expect a company of Negro players to present "Darkest Russia" in the Russian language as to present the same play in a white washed state to represent the Slav characters. Of course the superficial make-up, such as dress, is perfectly legitimate, but why carry it further? We do not think the theatre-goers of Harlem will long tolerate a white washed Negro stage. But is this the explanation of the persistent attempts to hold dark-hued Miss Evelyn Ellis in the background when Miss Ellis is by far the best actress in her company and an actress second in ability only to Miss Abbie Mitchell? We were always unable to understand why a director would put his best talent in insignificant roles the white trying to star others of only mediocre ability. We think we understand now. And we know that this game, by whomsoever originated, won't go in Harlem. —Cyril V. Briggs Two Whites at the Show (During the Act) "Those actors are not colored" "Look for yourself and see" "Here, take my opera glasses; They're just as white as me. You're a, that they're mulattoes" "Go on! You've lost your sight! Why any fool can look at them And see that they are white!" (On the street) But what a funny race! If I were doing such great work I'd never hide my face! LINCOLN AND LIBERTY. Fact versus Fiction (Chapter Two) What was Lincoln's relation to all this? I shall endeavor to sbw that Lincoln was not an Abolitionist; that he had no special love for Negroes; that he opposed the abolition of the Domestic Slave Trade and favored the Fugitive Slave Law; that he opposed citizenship for Negroes; that he favored making slavery perpetual in 1831; that he denied officially that the war was fought to free the slaves; that he refused to pay Negro soldiers the same wages that he paid the white soldiers; that without these Negro soldiers the North could not have won the war; that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, not for the slaves saka, but as an act to cripple the army of the South; and finally, that it did not abolish slavery and was not intended to. These are the things that I shall prove in regard to Abraham Lincoln and in regard to the men of his party. I shall also prove that the war was fought for economic and not for moral reasons. Indeed, I think I have done that already. Next, I shall prove that the Republican party opposed the Abolitionist doctrine; that they offered to sell out the Negro in 1881, and that the only reason why the sale was not commensulated was that the buyer picked up his basket and went home. And I shall prove that as late as 1884 the Republican party, THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 in counsel of the Government, referred to pass an amendment to the Constitution abolishing ar... Now for the proof. I shall turn turn to page 115 of "The Letters and Addresses of Abraham Lincoln." I am quoting from Lincoln opening speech in the second joint debate with Douglas, August 27, 1854, at Freeport, Illinois. In regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, Lincoln said. "I have never hesitated to say, and I do not now hesitate to say, that I think, under the Constitution of the United States, the people of the Southern States are entitled to a congressional fugitive-slave law. I should not with my present views be in favor of endeavoring to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia unless it would be upon these conditions. First, that the abolition should be gradual; second, that it should be on a vote of the majority of qualified voters in the District; and third that compensation should be made to unwilling com In regard to the fifth interrogatory, I must say here that as to the question of the abolition of the slave trade between the different states I can truly answer, as I have, that I am pledged to nothing about it. I must say, however, that if I should be of opinion that Congress does possess the Constitutional power to abolish the slave trade among the different states, I should still not be in favor of that power. These facts seem to make against that story that you get from little Mary's Fairy Tales about the young man sailing down the Mississippi and seeing slaves in a slave gathering, and coming back and saying: "If I ever get a chance to hit slavery I will hit it and hit it hard." It sounds beautiful but it isn't true. In his first inaugural address in Washington, Abraham Lincoln said: "Apprehension seems to exist among the people of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that I have no purpose, directly c. indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists...." And in his first inaugural, to support his contention, he quoted from the Republican party's platform: "Resolved, That the maintenance involute of the rights of the states, and especially the right of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend, and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any state or territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes." First, you have Lincoln and then you have Lincoln's party. I do not mean to instigate when I present these truths that Abraham Lincoln was a hypocrite. When I think that Abraham Lincoln was a hypocrite at a particular point, I shall take occasion to say so plainly and manfully. My own information is simply that Abraham Lincoln was a politician, or if you like, a statesman. You see, a statesman is a politician with a circumbendula. In his opening speech in his fourth joint debate at Charleston, Illinois September 18, 1858, he said: "I will may then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office . . ." In his rejoinder to Douglass at the same place, September, 1858, he said: "Judge Douglass has said to you that he has not been able to get from me an answer to the question whether I am in favor of Negro citizenship. So far as I know, the judge never asked me the question before. He shall have CJ MARCUS GARVEY. By THOMAS MILLARD HENRY. I ground and said, "Nobody cares For Negroes" and my lip was curled. And I like Atlas bore the world Upon my shoulders through the snare. Some said, too. "Haven's crown repairs For all the opposition hurled At you." If so my crown is pearled—Contains the costliest gems that flares. Ah, what a change; that gloom is rent Since I have heard the Garvey story. His story stirs my soul; I am bent To do my best the clouds to foray. What was a starless firmament Holds Marcus Garvey's star of glory. OUR HEROINE—HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS. By ERNEST A. STERRETT. Her name means "Ft. thful," a heroine at her post. Ever serving, in this, of her race, she's foremost. North, east, south, west, going or coming she's there. Rising and inspiring like the sun of the Western Hemisphere. Imploring her people to be up and be doing, that the time isn't far. Eve long she espy a mighty change, just where we are. To prepare is her watchword, let's unite to the core. Thoughts of present treatment grieved her, with that of yore. Africa now is calling, seek it and weep no more. Victory is the word in her vision she ahead. Immutable in her course, determination knows no dread. Negation of our rights' pierced her to her heart. Temperament could not withstand it, then she start. Obediently, but organizer of the greatest move on earth— Negroes: 'tis of thee, she's henceforth heroine of this "New Birth." Dauntless in her hopes to reach that better land. Africa for the Africans; she pointed with her hand. Veracious to her trust, and comes not what— In her heart she loved her race, and for that— She'll fight their battles miles on land, on sea by knots. THE ETHIOPIAN BANNER. O, say, can you see Ethiopia's plight Those who valiantly fought for a nation's redeeming? Their broad stripes and deep scars, thro' th' oppressor's own fight. They so gallantly bore with arms brightly gleaming? And our boys were right there, while ehells burst in air. They fought through the night, and our flag was born there. Chorus. And that Ethiopian banner in triumph shall wave. In our own bleast land, o'er the homos of the brave. And Heaven help the band who despoiled as of yore. Midst the sufferings of war and attendant confusion. Our homes and our country, hey'd pollute as before Our blood they would poison with sinful infusion.

NEW YORK CITY no occasion to ever ask it again, for I tell him very frankly that I am not in favor of Negro citizenship. Further on he says: "Now my opinion is that the different states have the power to make a Negro a citizen under the Constitution of the United States, if they choose. The Dred Scott decision decides that they have not that power. If the state of Illinois had that power, I should be opposed to the exercise of it. That is all I have to say about it." So much for the proof of that I said that I should prove that he favored making slavery perpetual in 1847. Take Hale's "Twenty Years in Congress"—a rather baffy book, both physical and otherwise. States was one of the biggest politicians or statesmen that this country has produced. He was in Congress for something like twenty years on and off, and this book was written partly as a summary of the activities of his Congressional era and partly as a history of the United States, by a politician who had to do with the making of history. I shall show that the first thirteenth Amendment was proposed to extinguish slavery so securely that it should be safe from attack by the Supreme Court of the United States itself, and that the Republican party, and Abraham Lincoln himself, specifically, by explicit statement, supported that more. Early in 1851, the Southern representatives in Congress began to drop out as their states seceded and issued cartels, some of defiance and some of simple explanation, telling why they were leaving. When the North and the northern politicians saw that, did they use the great arm of the government as our friend Professor Burkinson is trying to do as regards Negro papers? No! They compromised. They got together and offered to sell out the cause of the Negro. White men of the North did not, on the whole, care much about Negroes then. Those who did were called Abolitionists, and the Abolitionists had no party. You may remember that there was a break between Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, between the Radical and Abolitionist groups, as to whether they should support the Free Soil or any other party, by which they could get a percentage of their demands realized and enacted into law. 135TH ST.

The Martin-Simon Musical Bureau is an institution organised for the specific purpose of giving birth to musical culture upon an extensive plane. It aims at encouraging members of the negro race in their devotion to the creative art of music. It offers facilities from instruction, technique and rendition to the staging of concert tours, and conducting the publicity associated therewith. The artistic policies and ideals of the Martin-Simon Musical Bureau are moulded and fashioned after the manner of the advancement made by those who have attained to the higher reaches of artistic excellence in the musical world. The Martin-Simon Musical Bureau recognizes the inspiring fact, that nature has been exceedingly liberal in her gifts to the negro, where she greatest artistic possibilities may be achieved. And more especially is it true in the realm of music. But the Martin-Simon Musical Bureau also realizes the corresponding fact, that artistic distinction of an extraordinary nature is very closely related to the economic question, and in order that unusual artistic development may be achieved, the art pursued should meet with an appreciative degree of sympathy and encouragement from well wishers. For these and similar reasons the Martin-Simon Musical Bureau makes its appeal for co-operation to the music loving world, in a recital to be given at Liberty Hall, West 128th Street, New York City, N. Y. on March 20, 1921, at 4 o'clock P. M., under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Ernest Martin, managing director, Hubert Simon, associate director, Leviticus N. E.

TORIAS, Theodore. U. N. I. A. NEWS By WM. H. FERRIS In the opening of Saturday, January 18, the Liberty Hall at Guarro was visit M by His Grace, the Right Rev. Geo McGuire, chaplain general of N. M. L. A. and right heartily was he received by one and all. The chief object of his visit to this division in his tour was the inauguration of President Edgar M. Simpson, one of the most genial and earnest workers for the cause in this community, and also the dedicating of the flag. The service commenced at 6 o'clock in the evening of the above date with the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," which was lustily sung by the large crowd that had gathered to hear His Grace for the first time, and to hear the good tidings of the great work of the U. N. L. A. on the other side. A prayer was next offered by the chaplain, after which a selection was rendered by the choir, followed by the opening remarks of the president in a most suitable manner and appropriate of the evening. The Cuban national anthem was next sung, and the group went next to a chapel of the Freedom division. We now got to the par of the evening where started great interest by a speech from the Hon. H. Gunning, D. L. N. C. an old and much respected friend of the community, and who had left our midst for a while in the interest of the great cause of the U. N. L. A. for the United States, where he had been for a time, and now accompanying down His Grace to this岛 I. bringing with him a full store of knowledge of the great operation being undertaken in the cause of the U. N. L. A. in the United States of America, and one who has been in close roll along with our esteemed leader. His Excellency, the Hon. James Garvey, and who has been open acquainted with his work and plans as to the great work being carried on and to be carried through. It gave us great pleasure to have had the honorable gentleman, who has been the recipient of His Excellency's good favors and trust, in our midst, to make clear the hallucinations that might have hitherto existed in some minds. We now arrived at the most eventful part of the evening, the inauguration of President Edgur M. Stimpson and the dedication of the flag by His Grace the Chaplain General. These rites were carried through in a most masterly manner. The explanation of the significance of the different colors of the flag gave a great deal of inspiration which left the impression for the future, the demand of respect in the same manner as is expected for flags which stand for countries or causes, etc. After this crowning ceremony of the evening was brought to a close, the National Anthem of Ethiopia wagging. The offering was next taken up which amounted to $22.50, and also showed the spirit that existed in this small community in their response. His Grace next gave a brief explanation as to the Liberty loan of Liberia to which was also taken up in good spirit, as there were more responses to this request than was expected. His Grace then concluded amid lusty cheers to the satisfaction of one and all. He left us with our best wishes and greetings, with the expectancy of return at an early date. "VERDAD." Guaro, Oriente, Cuba, Jan. 20, 1921. A GREETING FROM PANAMA. Pres.-Gen. U. N. A. Gil: wish you happy New Year and success and prosperity in your undertaking. I am asking you to remember us around this part of the world. The white man has held us down to a very low degree, prices of work have been out down and merchandise is at its height. We cannot manage ourselves. I ask you kindly that when the boat leaves for this side that it may take a trip to Boca, for here is a hole holde all the other compart, and we are at a great disadvantage here. When the people heard of the ship coming here to take us to Lberia, they revived from their broken heart and began to rejoice. Some man say that the time when the boat is coming they will live on the dock for days in order not to lose the boat. We are trying our best in the different branches here, although there are many critics against the U. N. L. A., but I will stand here and through it I will be the Almighty. You you evidence for the mighty work you have done throughout the universe. Those of the Negro race who do not awake now will not wake again. My heart is filled with zeal and courage. I am ready now to take my journey to our motherland. I believe that you are our leader that God has prepared to gather us together. Then let us remember the 333d palam. I am, yourrs obediently, DANIEL MIGHTY, Bocas del Toro, Cuchito, P. O. R. P. and eloquent manner he told them of the challenge which the white man has thrown to the Negro by sending pioneers to our country to gather the best of its wealth. The president also appealed to the congregation to help themselves and their future generations by contributing to the Liberian fund. Mr. Gordon of the Jamaican League gave a very instructive talk about the "Future Africa." Mr. Weston League, an accomplished Dr. Gordon, the Assistant Director, was the chief speaker of the evening. Dr. Gordon in his usual inspiring manner commanded the U. N. L. A. with the relation of today. Dr. Gordon has the true spirit of the new Negro at heart and his many and inspiring meetings will long be remembered. The greatest feature of the evening was the presentation of the certificates of the Black Cross nurses by the president of the division. He gave them their certificates with such carefulness and charged them each to understand in the fullest measure such values they held their races and also congratulated them for their "loyalty." The evening was brought to a close while the chair rendered the national anthem. Thanking you for space. Yours for racial uplift. A member of Boston Div. U. N. L A MONTREAL NOTES. Stimulating Meeting Well Attended—Dyall's Orchestra Furnishes Bewitching Music.

After "Greenland's Joy Mountains* was sung, and the minutes of the previous meeting read, the president read the preamble together with several selections from the constitution. The analysis of by-laws comprised the next item. It evoked a wholehearted and enthusiastic response, and an appeal for general support to the cause closed the business transactions of the afternoon.

Feb. 12.—The Washington division is still holding its series of nightly meetings which began January 6. The speakers have been the Hon. Vernal J. Williams, H. W. Kirby, the president of the division and Ex-Congressman Priolan. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis visited the division last week and was the speaker for three evenings. Miss Davis stirred the audiences with her great power of persuasion and eloquence, and as a result many joined the ranks of the U. N. L. A. Everyone regretted that the stay of Miss Davis had last Sunday and Hon. Vernal J. Williams and President Kirby were the speakers at the regular Sunday afternoon meeting in the Pythian Temple Twelfth and I streets, N. W. The meeting was well attended and the speakers were up to their reputation and the expectation of their hearers. THIS IS OF INTEREST To Every Negro It Will Pay You To Read This Have you ever stopped to think of the thousands of dollars spent daily by colored people in a community like Harlem, or any other community with a large colored population? How much of this money gets back in your pocket in one way or another? And much, oh? How do you account for that? Easy enough when you aim to think that these are not enough businesses controlled and operated by colored people in possession of their numbers in any given community. If fifty per cent of the money spent by us daily for contributions of every kind were spent among ourselves, do you realize the tremendous amount the case would demand of course, you can appreciate how far this might be advanced. Now let us suppose that right here in Harlem we had factories manufacturing the things that we must all purchase every day, and store in which to sell them, do you realize what this would mean? Such a condition would mean: (1) Employment for hundreds of colored men and women in every capacity—educative, clerical and otherwise. (2) We would be laying up treasures for ourselves, and at the same time laying it firm economic foundation. We could go on to name other benefits, but these two will suffice for the purpose of this advertisement. What is true of Harlem is equally true of every community with a large colored population. NOW, THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION has been organized to hand out and operate factories all over these United States, the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa, in the interest of colored people, for colored people and in the sun wholly by colored people. DOES THIS PROGRAM APPEAL TO YOU? Very well, we must have money with which to build these factories and operate them. Already, we have established A STREAM AND HAND LAUNDRY and a MILLER'S STORE. THERE ARE ONLY BEGINNERS. Will you, Mr. Colored Man, put your shoulder to the wheel with us and push this program along for all it is worth to you and the race in general? Shares in the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION are selling at Five $1.00. Dollars each. Will you invest in as many shares as you are able to purchase and keep the reward that is bound to follow the investment? LET US HEAR FROM YOU TODAY. Now, while these good thoughts are uppermost in your mind, send in and buy your shares. When you invest Five ($5.00) or Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) in the shares of stock it means that at the end of the financial year you will gather so much more money by way of dividends. If you want to make money, if you want to insure a better future, you will invest to lay, and right away move in the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION 56 West 135th Street, New York, U.S.A.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C., Feb. 18.—The Honourable Verbal J. Williams was invited to address the directors; and stockholders of the Hotel Whiteaw at their annual banquet last Wednesday evening. Mr. Williams was seated at the table occupied by the family of Mr. J. J. Dickerson, one of the officials. Attorney William Robinson introduced Mr. Williams as "one of the disciples of Marcus Garvey." In a very forceful speech Mr. Williams said, in part: "I congratulate you gentlemen on this monument you have set up as a proof of Negro ability and industrial potentialities. It will be an inspiration to your children. While you are doing this however, to unify the Negro in this country, Marcus Garvey, through the Universal Negro improvement Association, established a huge museum of Negro independence, manhood and womanhood the world over, a huge monument of universal co-operation among Negroes of world-wide industrial and commercial intercourse, a huge monument of social administration and education the world over. In order that our growing generations for justice we are building may enjoy a full and managed library of liberty, freedom and justice as well as economic independence." SPECIAL NOTICE.

President Jesse Pack of Western University received a hearty and enthusiastic applause from the student body as he made his first appearance before the students since his return from visiting the bishop's conference in the Westfield. President Pack made a very favorable introduction of Dr. Dr. Monson Berg. Gen. to Mourovia Hospital Monrovia, Liberia. Dr. Glgow made the following address to a marked model of about $99: Mr. President, Members of the Faculty of Western University, Members of the Student Body:—It is my good fortune to be assembled here with you today. I bring you a message from 400,000 Negroes. A message sent by the Kibu, Marus Garvey, President General of the U. N. E. A. Provisional President of the U. N. E. A. Provisional President of the Moon Star Lake Steam Corporation. As I stand before you at this home and looking into your noble faces, I can see an expression: An expression of thought. I want to tell you that we as a race have been parried out by various nations into four parts: The world. As I stand here today in the beautiful building of the Moon Star Lake Steam Corporation, from the birth of black men, we have been brought to this school to obtain said education. I want to know what are your future objects. What are you going to do with this education when you leave the walls of this great institution? The church has come when the brains of the Negroes of the world must be brought together for the betrayment of the Negro people of the world. Since nations have not at the Peace Conference and have gone back to their various habitats, they have outlined statements for the betrayment of their people, and we as the weaker race, have been one to represent us at the Peace Conference. Then it is up to us to select our leaders for carrying our future destiny. We are dependable upon the younger generation of Negroes to take their places in the world. As I said before, we are 400,000 Negroes, and we are too great to number not to have a place, in the world. I see you today in the world, and we are too great to number not to have a place, in the world. I see you today in the world, and we are too great to number not to have a place, in the world. We want you to use their education to take development and the building out of some fatherland, Africa. The Africa has come when 400,000 Negroes in the various parts of the world, especially in this Western hemisphere, must go back to Africa and help them in their motherland. Africa is your motherland. We are bound forward for you of the younger generation to throw your way, so that some can assist in the building up of this empire and make it near to us now. Since you cannot obtain the position in this country as a missionary as a deacon, you can not be comfortable in Mississippi, Mississippi, in Tennessee, you can be comfortable in your country, Africa. Africa must be respected. You must make up your own plan and are important part in the development of Africa. I want you to have the ambition to be some day the president. I want girls to have ambitions about you, that should make you may become the first girl in the land. Thenage, it is up to you to organize a debate in this country, to be championed by the members of the African-American Law Corporation, and we will encourage you to give some I would encourage every student to write for your parents and but them of the African-American Nation. The said BY THE RT. HON. FRED A. FOOTER The Executive Council for the management of the U. N. L. A., having been organized, and its power daily regulated, is laying plans to develop the resources of Liberia. Its first care will necessarily be the preparation of Liberia for those who shall be sent there. We do not think that simply transporting man to a new country, with ten, twenty, or more dollars in their pockets to sustain them until they can find employment is sufficient guarantee to secure them against want and disappointment. It is not thus that we can discharge our debt to the race in a manly and Christian manner. From the very first, efforts shall be made to create a demand for labor in Liberia. This must be accomplished by adding the development of African resources in the beginning, by the application of a portion of American enterprises. In a country not overstocked with horses or mules, nothing would seem more equal than, that the Liberians should desire the early establishment of railroads. These will therefore receive the prompt attention of the Council. The very attempt to construct a railroad would afford the means of living, immediately upon the landing of the immigrant; and at the same time if would fit to a high pitch the spirit of improvement in agriculture and building. This would rapidly create other sources of employment—the certainty of employment being better than money in the pocket. Having constructed the railroad, the Council will at once turn its attention to the foreign immigrants in building up their city, and opening their farms as well as their railroads, contemporaneously with these efforts abroad; will be the active employment of such means here in America, as would be promotive of colonization. Among the more immediate measures will be selection of a number of men possessed of the necessary qualifications for making good architects and engineers, and giving them a suitable education, in order to their being sent to Liberia for the purpose of giving proper direction to labor upon public lands; and other undertakings. Such practical means as would present themselves for the instruction of Negro mechanics, and the schools like Tukeague, and Hampton would find some field for their students to operate, and these trades would be embraced by young men. Liberia is they grow up ought to be provided with instructions in the mechanical arts. The whole difficulty in the matter lies at the threshold of the movement. Liberia, with proper encouragement, would rise in a very few years, through her own energies, to the satisfaction of all her wants in these respects. While preparations are being made on the part of the Association to quality Liberia for helping herself at home by sending her such aid as will be physically useful, her moral and religious culture should be well prepared for by well-regulated schools here, but is already stated, the duty of providing for the latter may be safely satisfied to the several Christian sects, who cannot be indifferent to the spiritual needs of the immigrant. Walthy富裕 ought certainly be strongly induced to immigrants to Liberia, and other parts of Africa, when you know and are satisfied that prompt and permanent measures for effective and complete ammunition of your race are about to be adopted; for you have long been fighting for a distant nationality, being bitterly conscious that have no refinement of manners, no wealth, no merit, can elevate you above the social degradation of your own, or please you on equality with the future for happiness for your family, your view is lost in doubt. When you seek for your own, you are disappainted. I say with what delight you ought to embrace Liberia, as she only possesses you a home in which you can invest your means, and transfere your business in the character of a citizen, and a man while devoting yourself to the diminished work of ennabling your long-expressed country and your immortal brattle. The you, the necessity of railroad stations must itself at once because you yourself know that use, you can effort, explore the country, yourself, experience the country, you can rely THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1821 for information, to inquire respecting the self, ultimate rivers, and resources; you can direct your energies to the combination of African gold and African labor in the construction of roads, and the spreading of civilization. You will succeed for the African has high intelligence, but it may be difficult, because he does not more strongly display it in the absence of all high and exciting motives. Let us pause here for a moment to glance at the vicinity of Zebra, the adaptation of African rivers to public improvements. From all the knowledge obtained from maps and travellers, the known course of rivers, and the legitimate deductions drawn from the general forms of continues and mountain ranges, we have every reason to believe that a railroad could be made from Monrovia to the most important point upon the river Niger, with much less difficulty and far less expense than was attended upon the making of the Central Railroad from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. The Tiger Basin. The principal source of the Niger, drained by a multitude of small streams, a table-land situated not far from the Western coast of Africa between Monrovia and Sierra Leon. This tableland extends over about one degree of latitude, and the various tributaries of this region coalesce into a single great trunk, at the distance of about two hundred miles from each of the centers of African civilization, and at a like distance from the sea. The chief trunk runs in a north-eastern direction, toward the southern edge of the great Eshara, which yields it a few contributions, and gradually curves in to the south-east and south, along the most easterly part of its course; it receives tributaries of considerable size from the eastward some of which inuck streams supposed to empty into Lake Tchad. From its junction with the largest of them in about latitude 25 degrees, 50 minutes north, the north course of the Niger is nearly due south, with one easterly bend, to its mouth, in about latitude 4 degrees north, where it falls into the gulf of Guinea, just east of the Bight of Benin. In about latitude 8 degrees north; longitude, 7 degrees east, it receives the largest and most important of its branches—the river Chadde, or Tchadda—whose tributaries spring from the north side of the mountain range which separates it from the sources of the Congo, and from various widely separated parts of Central Africa. Of these tributaries, the largest is supposed to be the outlet of the mysterious Lake Tohad; and this route they evidently interlock, either directly, or through the medium of the rivers emptying into that lake, with one of the largest tributaries of the White Nile. In its whole course of more than 2,800 miles, the Niger bears a considerable resemblance to a note of interrogation. By the construction of a railroad from Monrovia, to a point on this river near the junction of its early tributaries, the trade of the lesser streams which are no doubt navigable for small boats, would be made available by the merchants of that young city; and, by continuing this road eastward, down the streams to deeper waters, the position would be assumed in a highly healthy and fertile region, possessing the same kind of advantages for surrounding trade that Pittsburgh presents, at the confiance of the great tributaries of the Ohio river. Here civilization, led on by the Negro from the Western Hemisphere, as a placer, would be infinitely greater than those of the white man. The trade of the eastern tributaries of the Niger would soon be brought to center at a terminus of the road for the time being, and thus the wealth of a vast interior south of the desert, and extending beyond Timbuco, to be directed toward the Atlantic. At the center of the island shall extend eastward along the coast, that they embark the mouth of the Niger, will be heard the iron steed, annoting his farty way along the Chadda, to the source of the Nile. NATIVE AGITATOR AT WORK IN INTERESTS OF HERTZ20 London, Fb. $-Cable despatches from Johannesburg, South Africa, state on reliable authority that Masabalala, a notorious nautical agitator, is helping to canvass the Uttemphase district in the interests of the Nationist party, led by General Hertz. While colored men have some reason to distrust Masabalala, it is said his agitation is causing a stir among the native population. It is allowed that they would receive rides if the Nationals were raised to power. This allegation has caused a great indignation in the casteur province. THE CIVILIZATION OF WHITE MEN AND THE U.N.I.A. (Editor's Note—Mr. Tilford is an Moosemalt, Publicist and Sociologist of Chicago, Ill.) The meaning of the word, civilization, is generally accepted as the humanization of mankind in society, the comfort and satisfaction for him, and the adaptation that enables him to live happily in the crowd of the masses. The mode of life under which mankind live and die, and which many of us are pleased to call civilized life, falls very short of liberty and happiness for the great mass of people, and dehumanizes a greater portion of its population. It will fulfill the true meaning of the term civilization, regards mankind and his ability to live happily, and is therefore a failure. The ideal of the white man's civilization is gold and the dollar, and through cunning, exploitation and greed he has erected a monster called civilization, dictated by the few, and forced upon the many, who are hopelessly incapable of surviving. The unified masses wander around in the dizzy maze, struggling year in and year out, for the means of existence, and to meet the requirements of the command of civilization, until pressure becomes so unbearable they cannot longer winstand it, then they must be rebuilt into life, property and so-called civilization. History will prove that human life, under the command of civilization, has been one great succession of barbarism, savagery, decay, and back to what we proud Americans term barbarism. Those among use who think not will marvel at the white man's achievement in the present order of life. They will point out to you proudly the great inventions, the monstrous dead-naughts, the great instruments of murder, the grand railroad systems and many other things. But Mr. Thoughtless never thinks of the numerous jails, the penitentiaries, the insane asylums, the crazy houses, the uncomparable diseases, the milkless babies, the starving mothers, the crowded hospitals where people go to have things cut out of them and off of them, and the human wreckage ones meet in all walks of life. These unfortunate people who have given up all responsibility of living up to civilization's command, as a result they unavoidable scientific causes—the human amount cannot be ignored—the environment of white marsh civilization built around them, and therefore they struggle and die in many various ways, and represent so many tombstones over which civilization is built. If the writer were called upon to decide which mode of life were the best—civilization or so-called barbarian—I would be compelled to answer.

Any white Frenchman will tell you that France is highly civilised; any white Englishman will tell you that England is highly civilised; any German will tell you that Germany is highly civilised any 100 per cent. American will tell you that America is highly civilised; all all the folks from whom we have heard about the splendrous of civilisation have been folks who claim to be civilised. I would like to hear from the second-called backward tribes of people. No doubt the tribes of Africa would say as the Caucasian, and could show from many angles the superiority of their mode of life. I would like to hear from the Grebo, the Kru, the Vai, the Eulmu, the Eantus, and the stwart natives of all Africa, and see if they could not easily show the hypocrisy of white man's civilization. Anthropologists and ethnologists tell us that the average life of the civilized man is thirty-six years as against forty-six for the so-called savage. And this is primarily because the backward people live close to nature, and the laws of nature are supreme, the further you stray away from them the more you suffer and the sooner you die. Mankind under civilization leads an unnatural life and an artificial existence, and since this is true, one can easily see that civilization carries with it the gorm of its own decay and death. Civilization does not please the masses; this can best be proven by an insight into the method used by the few dictators of civilization to maintain and force upon the people this monster. Civilization is maintained by superior force and power through armies, navies, state militias, legions and police, and one does not dare go to bed at night under the watchful eye of civilization unless he knows that there is a big police outside of his door with a gun and a club. This is not true in the land of the so-called savage and barbarians. These plain folks are honest, hospitable, sympathetic and kind, when let alone by the Caucasian. These noble characteristics of the tribes of Africa had much to do with their undoing, when they came in contact with white men, who could not appreciate these great manly attributes. English missionaries and spies who went into their sacred land and homes with doctit and trickery in Southern Rhodesia, and robbed and pillaged these people of their cattle and land, and forced them into free labor, took advantage of the trust these honest Africans had in all mankind, thinking others to be like themselves. France in Morocco, Senegal and other sections; Italy in Tripoli; Germany in Southwest Africa; Britain in British India; to infamous Belgium in the Congo, all took the same advantage of these unsuspecting tribes and invaded their land and homes, pillaged, murdered, raped and exploited these simple people, and built up their countries from the vast wealth and mineral deposits stolen from our ancestors' land. Again, I say that white man's civilization, with its greed for gold, is built on sand, and will not stand, because of the cuidity, dishonesty and doctit.

Forget not, it is written "As ye sow and sell your seed," and we gaze at the very heart of civilization. Millions of people all over the world are showing their maturity to adopt themselves to a civilization based on greed, gold and hypocrisy, and are growing realities and ready to tear down, do-crime and die. We see the great unrest in worldwide immigration. We see the great Powers of the world, the dictators of civilization, in turmoil. We see Germany crushed, disbanded and killed. We see proud England struggling with the Irish and India question, and on the verge of revolution and civil war. We see Italy with the Italian poet and the Flume question. We see Uncle Sam with his teeming millions of race conscious and discontented Negroes; with the growing Japanese question and unemployment. Any direction in which you gaze on the white Powers of the world, and the great dictators of civilization, you see the forces of death energically at work. The great mass of people who cannot adapt themselves to a bushfire civilization are on the march for destruction and death, and on the ruins of fallen civilization will rise the forces of life—a new civilization and a new distrustship. In Liberty Hall, in New York City, was born the new embryo of the new civilization. And who dares to say that in its final analysis it does not mean a new civilization? Who will dictate to a redeemed Africa the cus- tone and pride of life? Who could ar- would reject the dictum of a redeemer and powerful Africa? Marcus Carvey and the U. M. J.

By this article we wish to call the attention of the Negro World readers to one of the greatest animales which a part of the human race has to endure. It will be of some interest when we recall the king George V actually over more than 440,000,000 human beings of whom number 62,000,000, less than 15 per cent, are of the white race, and that the remainder, 378,000,000, are of the black, brown, yellow and red races. Everybody will agree with us that this state of things should not exist, for one representing only the minority to be allowed to rule over that which represents the majority. We are of opinion that the 79,200,000 souls representing four different races should be allowed to have each not kings, queens or emperors, but presidents duly elected and chosen by the free will of his majesty the people.
