Tuesday evening. March 8, 1921. - Not since the days of the great convention last August has there been such a roaring meeting as that held here tonight to welcome and honor the Right Hon. Chaplain General, the Rev. George Alexander McGuire, upon his recent return from Cuba in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It was truly an outpouring of the people in what appears to pay deserved tribute and honor in Dr. McGuire, in recognition and appreciation of the wonderful work he had done and the success he had achieved in Cuba, which resulted in stimulating the interest and enthusiasm, of the people there in this great movement, the winning of many new recruits to the cause, and the gaining of the financial support of the Cuban people not only in the liberal purchase of shares in the Black Star Line, but in their generous subscription for bonds for the Liberian construction loan. Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost notwithstanding admission was 25 cents. Distinguished members of the High Executive Council sat upon the platform, including the High Chancellor, who acted as presiding officer, the High Commissioner, and the Counsel General. The U. N. I. A. choir and the Black Star Line Band were out in full numbers, as was also a full representation of the African Legion, the Motor corps division, and the Black Cross nurses, all regulated in the uniforms of their respective organizations, and there were present not merely members of the association, but non-members as well, from all sections of the city, all eager to see and to hear the Chaplain General after an almost three months' absence in the island republic. First was given a special concert, which was an exceptional treat. It was intertwined with a variety of parts, vocal, instrumental and solemnary, that blended together and made a beautiful whole. Every number was a selected one, and it was hard to say which was the best. everyone who took part having tried to outdo the others in his or her efforts to assist in honoring the Chaplain General, Prof. Ford and Prof. Iales are to be congratulated upon the success of their labors in arranging the program, which was at once high, beautiful and appropriate for such a splendid and extraordinary occasion. The concert part of the program ended, the audience settled down to the main feature of the evening, the speechmaking. This began with addresses of welcome to the Chaplain General, in which the High Chancellor, the High Commissioner, and the Counsellor General were the participants. These addresses were delivered in a SP Dear Reader: Of course, you are touch with the happenin you have had trouble so hand the agent in your c and you may use a cop half of the Membership want you to get your cu very felicitous and happy vein, and expressed, most appropriately and fittingly the feelings of the people and their sentiments in respect of the Chaplain General in their urgent desire to extend to him a cordial welcome and to manifest their high appreciation of the services he had rendered the cause while in Cuba. The Rev. Dr. F. Wilcox Elligor, High Commissioner, the first speaker, referred to the selection of Dr. McGinnis in the place of Chaplain General, and said that he had watched the doctor very closely since his connection with the work, and that the results he had attained in Cuba confirmed his high estimate of him as a valuable asset to the association. Mr. Wilford H. Smith, Counselor General, apoke of the high attainments of the Chaplain General, and said he felt proud to be one to pay special honor to His Grace to testify to his great worth and to acknowledge in behalf of the people of Liberty Hall the remarkable success she had won in Cuba. Men of his high moral character and intellectual strength, he dollared, were needed as leaders and in the ranks as well of the U. N. I. A, and the people here appreciated what the Doctor had done during his mission there, more than words could express. He hoped and prayed that God would fong spare him to labor in this field and help put over the proposition of the principles and objects of the U. N. I. A. Dr. G. E. Stewart, the Chairman of the meeting, was the next speaker. Always alert to recognized merit, the Reverend Doctor is the most popular man of the High Executive Council, a variable second Marous Garvey, because of his dynamic force as an orator of the old school, the magnetic powers of his personality, and his unbounded interest and enthusiasm in the work of the U. N. L. A. In almending to Dr. MOGHUNP trip to Cuba, he said it was the first time since the convention that a member of the High Executive Council had left the shores of America in the interest of the association, and that he looked upon him as the harbinger—one who went before who had out down the shore, tilled the soil, and prepared the ground for His Encoulery, the Hon. Marous Garvey. Dr. Moghunp he said, despite all obstacles and despite the encounters of the U. N. L. A. and the opposition of the Cuban Government, had made a distinct, success while in that island, and accomplished a work that will long live in the annals of time. He said the time had come when Negroism, whether they be preschoolers of righteousness, or preachers of the doctrines of the U. N. L. A. or preschoolers of race unity and race consciousness, must be full of courage, for with courage they shall A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH. 19, 1921 THE NEGRO'S NEW OPPORTUNITY-THE WORLD IS LOOKING TO SEE WHAT HE WILL ACHIEVE IN THE FIELD OF COMMERCE FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Three years ago last month thirteen Negroes gathered in a small hall in Harlem and formed the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The movement in New York City grew by leaps and bounds, and then began to spread over the United States of America, Canada, the West Indies, Cuba, Hayti, Santo Domingo, Central America, South America, England, West Africa and South Africa, until the chain of U. N. I. A. divisions encircled the globe. The underlying idea of the Association was the bringing together of the Negro peoples of the world in one confraternity for the purpose of establishing a community of interests. We soon found that the condition of the Negro was everywhere the same; his color was a bar to the advancement. In some sections of the world it was a bar to his economic progress; in other sections a bar to his enjoying the rights and privileges of citizenship. And we desired the world to bestow upon the Negro that liberty and freedom for which he fought and died in Flanders, France, and Mesopotamia. But the oppressed peoples of the world gained little from the Peace Conference at Versailles. We soon realized that the Negro, like other men, must work out his own destiny. For that reason we established the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation and the Negro Factories Corporation. We felt that industrial and commercial strength would be a powerful asset to the Negro race in its upward striving. Then we looked across the sea and saw the wonderful commercial possibilities of West Africa, especially Liberia, with its virgin soil, valuable forests and undeveloped resources. We felt that money, wisely invested in opening up the interior of West Africa, in time would yield a splendid income. Then, again, we felt that the pride and self-respect, the prestige and standing of the Negro peoples of the world would be increased by developing a strong progresses and self-governing republic in Africa. The Black Star Line and the "Universal Construction Loan" are the means by which we plan to transport men and material to Africa, to develop her wonderful resources. By purchasing shares in the former and bonds in the latter you will help provide a future for your children and your children's children. We need more ships and bigger ships. Cuba is loyally responding, and we ask the Negro peoples of the world to follow suit. The world is looking to see what the New Negro will achieve in the field of commerce. We firmly believe that a brighter day is dawning for men and women of African descent. Send in and purchase shares from the Black Star Line, Inc., and bonds from the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A. With kind personal regards, I have the honor to remain. Cuba, March 5, 1921. AFRICAN GOLD COASTS REVEL IN WAVE OF King Ja Ja Made Over $500,000 Sell Lives in New Modern Home English Architect.

It cannot be brought about by holding conventions and passing resolutions of a beeching on threatening character. By his industrial skill, his industrial efficiency, his commercial importance, his literary, professional and scientific achievements, the Negro must gain prestige and standing in the world's regard and that prestige and standing will react upon his civic and political status. In the long run and in the last analysis a race or nation arises, not by what others do for it, but what it does for itself. There have been hundreds of instances where a man has risen to power through marrying an heiress or becoming the protege of a great man, but we do not recall a single instance in history where a race or nation has risen to power and pre-eminence by being the ward and protege of a more powerful race and nation. Britain's prominence in the modern world has not been gained by her becoming the ward or the guardian of other nations, but by forming alliances with other nations who are equal or almost equal to her in power and resources. A race or a nation is sought after when by reason of its commercial, industrial, political, naval or military resources it can be in position to inflict damage upon or render favors to other races or nations. The Negro needs to have a constructive program. He needs the industrial education which Booker Washington pled for; he needs the manhood rights which Trotter has urged and which Du Bois whined poetically about, and he needs the commercial mastery and the insight into the commercial development of Africa which Marcus Garvey has waxed eloquent about. The Negro is up against the struggle for existence and it is a question of the survival of the fittest. He must make himself fit, intellectually fit, morally fit, physically fit, industrially fit and commercially fit, and then by virtue of the water he draws and the influence he exerts, he will not have to run to others and beg, but will be sought after because he can give value for value received.

Now for our closing words regarding President Harding. We had the opportunity to observe and study him at long range in the Coliseum of Chicago when he presided over the Republican National Convention in June, 1916. We can see him now, tall, stalwart and commanding, moving with grace and ease upon the platform. The same calmness and self-mastery and self-possession, the same courtesy which Ex-President Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University manifested in presiding at the Harvard commencement or the alumni dinner, Senator Harding manifested in presiding over that body of politicians who were scrambling for place and power. Saturday afternoon, a couple of hours before the convention closed, one incident happened that affected us deeply. We saw some men lead an old chestnut-colored man with a gray moustache to the platform. We saw Senator Harding step forward, extend his hand, welcome the man and then turn around and introduce him to the other distinguished visitors on the platform. After the convention adjourned we saw Senator Harding chat with this colored man for a moment and introduce him to other gentlemen on the platform, who warmly welcomed him. The man was ex-Congressman John R. Lynch, who once acted as temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention, served as paymaster with rank of major in the Spanish-American war and wrote a sketch of Reconstruction. After the convention adjourned we went to President Harding and thanked him for the cordiality with which he had welcomed ex-Congressman Lynch. He courteously replied: "I wish I had known that Mr. Lynch was in the building before I did, because I would have had him on the platform before." We will not say that that act showed that Senator Harding was a Christian, because the word Christian now seems to be a paraphrase for a modern Pharisee and a religious hypocrisy, and what is called the Christian is often cant and hypocrisy, but we will say that that act showed that Senator Harding was a man and a gentleman and possessed that chivalry and gallantry which should, but does not always, characterize a Christian. PRESIDENT HARDING AND THE NEGRO THE penetrating insight and staccatic style of Arthur Brisbane of the New York American have made him one of the foremost editorial writers of the modern world. Usually he hits the mail on the head, strikes the bull's-eye and rings the bell. Occasionally, when he has not been adequately informed, his paper minimizes the commercial possibilities of Liberia and the cultural possibilities of the African on his native heath. We were much impressed with his editorial in last Saturday's issue of the American. He says, "Mr. Harding is in the White House to do what the people of the United States want and fortunately he realizes it. President Harding has been told by the people of this country that they don't want a League of Nations; they don't want any partnership with Europe. That settles that or should settle it." It would be well for our brethren who expect great things out of politics to thoroughly digest this passage. We have had the pleasure of being in Washington, D. C., when two Republican Presidents were inaugurated and on the eve of inauguration of another President and we realized that many of the colored visitors to the National capital expected that the inauguration of a new Republican President would usher in the millennium. We recall when the great Afro-American Council met in Washington, D. C., during the Christmas holiday of 1890. That was a gathering of notables. Bishop Alexander Walters was elected president and T. Thomas Fortune, the editor of the New York Age, chairman of the Executive Committee. Bishop Arnett and Grant of the A. M. E. Church, Editor Johnson of the Christian Recorder, Colonel "Bill" Pledger of Atlanta, Ga.; Judson C. Lyons, Registrar of the Treasury; Ex-Congressman Cheatham, Recorder of Deeda for the District of Columbia; Ex-Governor Pinchback of Louisiana; Ex-Congressman Murray of South Carolina, and Congressman George C. White of North Carolina were only a few of the noted Negro political, religious and educational leaders, who were conspicuous in that gathering. It was the greatest assemblage of Negro chieftains from any walk of life that we have ever witnessed. We hope that President Harding can mould a sentiment favorable to recognizing a man by the worth of his soul rather than by the color of his skin and the texture of his hair. The body is but the tenement or house that a man dwells in. The soul is the spirit or the tenant that dwells within the house. And we trust that the day will come when America will be a real democracy and not a whiteocracy, especially since the Negro's brawn and muscle has built up the Southland and since he has valiantly fought in every war waged by the country. But the Negro should also realize in season and out of season that he can mould public sentiment by his own conduct and character and by the impression which he makes upon the Caucasians who come in contact with him. Common sense, a manly bearing and a certain measure of economic independence will do the new Negro a world of good. W. H. F. That gathering, as usual with such gatherings, culminated with a resolution which began with the customary "whereas" and ended with the customary "therefore, be it resolved." Although only a college student, we were fortunate to be elected a member of the Executive Committee and accompanied these political veterans on one night Saturday afternoon to the White House. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, was appointed by the committee to read the resolutions to President, William McKinley. The resolutions pleased the President with one exception. Editor Mitchell said that many in Gatlin tones when he read: "We regret that the President saw 61 to pass over in silence the recent outages of the South." We saw the color come to that sensitive, relaxed competence and observed the nervous quiver to his voice, which gave an exhilaratory effect when he replied to the committee. Mr. Mitchell never forget those words because they are engendered from our memory and by the way, President McKinley was something of an orator for the A QUIZZ FOR BISHOP SMITH. BISHOP C. S. SMITH of the African Methodist Episcopal Church sent a letter to the editor of the World's Work which was published in the March issue, taking issue with the editor for saying "He (Marcus Garvey) is the best point at which to study what is going on inside the heads of the ten million-colored people in the United States." President McKinley said, "Gentlemen, I could send a message to Congress or make a speech that would rouse the nation, but the real problem will not be solved by any message of any Presidency by the acts of any Legislature, but in the hearts and consciences of the American people." And then President McKinley knew that those led to a schoolmaster would to a pupil, or rather a teacher would to a child. What he gave them was a spanking, small caress and chocolate coated and administered in homeopathic medicine. He told the children already a knaw or should have known Bishop Smith says in reply: "Marcus Garvey does not interpret the thoughts of 1 per cent. of colored Americans." Now Bishop Smith knows a great deal about the Bible and his Biblical exegesis has attracted attention. Give him such themes as "Did Moses write the Pentatuch? Did the whale really swallow Jonah? Did Noah's curse really refer to the Negro? Ezekiel's vision of dry bones in the valley of Johoseph and the prophesies of Daniel, Isaiah and John the Regelator" and Bishop Smith will produce a truly learned and scholarly work. In scriptural affairs Bishop Smith is as wise as an owl, but regarding the state of mind of the New Negro he is as blind as a bat. And we have prepared a little quizz for him. Now there are at least half a million members of the great A. M. E. Church, and most of them live in the United States of America. So we can safely say, that 3 per cent. of the American Negroes are African Methodists. And including the churchgoers who are not members of the church, but who like the preaching abilities of the pastors, the A. M. E. Church represents approximately 6 per cent. of the American Negroes. And Bishop Smith says that Marcus Garvey only represents 1 per cent. If this be the case, we would like to know several things. We will omit New York City, where Marcus Garvey numbers thousands of followers and, where Bishop Smith says there are thousands of West Indians, and take cities where there are not thousands of West Indians. crowds. But when Marcus Garvey came to town last fall the great Armory, which holds nearly seven thousand people, was pressed into service and it was filled. A week ago Sunday afternoon we attended the meeting of the Philadelphia division in the Dunbar Theatre. Not only were the sidewalks, the halls, stairways and theatre jammed and crowded, but hundreds were turned away. The same has been true of other cities that Mr. Garvey visited. On August 1, 1920, Madison Square Garden was packed to the very doors to witness the opening of the U. N. I. A. convention, the greatest gathering of Negroes that ever assembled in America. And Liberty Hall with its immense space was crowded thirty consecutive nights, with hundreds and sometimes thousands turned away each Sunday. Now if Marcus Garvey can only command one-sixth of the following that Bishop Smith and his great organization does, how does it come about that he draws crowds such as no other Negro orator or preacher ever has and that his August convention eclipsed in size and numbers and continuity of interest any previous Negro conference, convention or racial gathering held in America? Nearly every day a letter comes into headquarters from some section of the country, inviting Marcus Garvey to come, and telling him the largest hall or theatre will be hired for him to deliver an address. We have not the divine omnificence of Bishop Smith so as to know what per cent. of those who listen to Marcus Garvey agree with him or not. But this is the quizz we would like to put to Bishop Smith. If Marcus Garvey only interprets the thought of 1 per cent. of the American Negroes, why is he more sought after as a speaker, why does he draw larger crowds, why does he arouse more enthusiasm and raise more money right here in the United States of America than any other Negro leader has? Why has he been able to build up in America alone in the short space of three years an organization with branches in nearly every State in the union and with divisions which are stronger in several cities than any church or fraternal organization? We would be very grateful if Bishop Smith could formulate an answer to this quizz. THE COMING ISSUE. W desire to acknowledge to of Detroit, Mich., a m economic and social en pressed people.

CORRESPONDENCE CORRESPONDENCE PLEA FOR LEEWARD ISLANDS TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT Editor New World Editor Negro World: Dear Sir—I would gladly write this letter direct to the Legislative Councils of the Leeward Islands, the Secretary of State or the British Embassy here, but since I believe it would be given to the waste basket as its safest abode, I seek the issue of your paper. The oppressed people of those places haven't any official organ with which they can voice their grievances and bring enough public sentiment to bear, and they are of the temperament that doesn't believe in asking outsiders to do them such favors. I read the many letters from friends and relatives, and I plaintly deplorable conditions there, economically and politically. And I personally have many others "who have already expressed the same wish" would gladly welcome the Americanization of those colonies tomorrow if it wasn't for the segregation and Jim-crowlam that America never fails to take with her everywhere. The history of the Negroes in the Western Hemisphere is a long one, and so we will only recall what happened since the abolition of slavery. Since then the Negroes as the mass of laborers have been able to receive wages for their labor, and while quite a few have got a spot of land with a house on it for their families to live in, the standard of wages has been such that no surplus could be realised or capital raised to create any other source of existence than to be employed all the time of these manual jobs. All the land is being used up and the laborer's time being occupied in producing sugar cane and edible market demands. Whatever is required output is practically spent again to bring in foodstuffs. Labor and production go on just to bring in clothing and foodstuffs as imports, which doesn't help to solve the problem any. Little barren bits of land are sometimes given by the different estates to individuals to cultivate; but as soon as they become well irrigated they are taken away. The local government offers small bits of land near the city to some folks, but whoever heard of city folks wanting to cultivate land? And the only solution I can see to the problem is for the government to plant more fruitless less sugar cane and more foodstuff in bigger wares and give the people land and plenty of land that they can work and encourage thrift. Let the churches cease to imbibe that spirit of "Think not of tomorrow what ye shall eat or drink," for it is one of their foremost doctrines which make the people lose all sight of thrift and more thrift. Such is the spirit of the young men and women there today. The majority of them are making all efforts to get into Danimo and taking ships to nowhere, trying to solve the problem. One of the islands had a rich long-age, through stricken for blesse waged, in which marries were called in to marry them. Even the very schools that vary sun run by the churches, and are now faken over, by the government, are being closed one by one. And such notable reading books as Blankey's "Trippled Header," and "Royal Star Bedroom," etc. are substituted, with life the Pilgrim tales or many gripping they are available. What are we supposed to make of them? For these books hold the wealth of the place and office at the head of affairs here and there, while the majority of the population are Negroes. And I say if England does not do something definite to ameliorate such conditions in those islands she might wake up one fist morning finding the devil more well come there than the Union Jack. R. HODGE, An Antiguan 16 W. 12th St., New York City. BISHOP SMITH AND GARVEY Bishop Smith's Attack on Garvey Analyzed and Answered. Dear Mr. Editor: Please permit me space in your splendid paper. There comes a time in every man's life when he shall be tested by public observation, and no make for himself a reputation and a character. At that time the man is rewarded with an invisible public medal upon which is written, in brazen letters, the secrets of his inner nature. He is now either a popular hypocrite or a wise sage. On January 30, 1921, Bishop Smith was brought by himself to the judgment seat of public opinion in Bethlehem Church, Detroit. Many who heard the Bishop went out and said that he had spoken splendidly on his subject, "Garveyjam." It would seem so in the opinion of the illogical mind, for the Bishop ended his text with tears in his eyes. But true Lord, beneath this prevention of a hoary headed patrician lies a sinister current of ill-feeling which orses with the same voice of Anas, the Bishop of Jerusalem, saying "Crucify the Christ, crucify the Christ. What have we to do with Thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth, are Thou come to torment us?" Knowing that if the dead reason they say "let us perish," it was my intention to excuse the Bishop, but I saw in the Detroit Contender the republication of a letter v. the World's Work, dated January 14, 1921, signed C. S. Smith, Detroit, Mich. This letter is not only hostile, but it is just as foolish as the document sent by a group of African Methodist bishops in Congress in 1928, in which they portray God being a West Indian, but his poetry has effect on the American public. Such a document was not good enough for the waste basket of the American Congress. In trying to supplement his text, Bishop Smith attempted a sort of inductive reasoning which made him transgress the law of identity and plunged him into ambiguity. His simple between Nathaniel Turner and Gayave exposed his utter ignorance of scientific knowledge and history as an unchangeable lesson of human society. The Bishop said in his judgment no man has a right to notify a people to leave their native land for another without knowing conditions in the latter. He continued, "Jodson had to send spies into Canada before the Invasion could begin." Now there is absolutely no comparison between the age of Malcolm negative and pro-operative philosophy, and into our own solitary life, personal age," Bishop said in his text. for a comparison with Carver, who could be made between Money, and Chwarw. Now history gave that the Moon went and told his people to get ready to leave Egypt, neither he nor any of the people knew where they were going, so much that a pillar of cloud by day and a dary pillar by night, had to lead them else they would be lost. Bishop Smith questioned: "Is there any work in Africa for the people to do? Are they going to eat the rice of the natives? Is there any seat in Africa for them? to sit on?" It is my privilege to answer the above questions. (1) Does the Bishop ever learn from the sense-perception of his alien Hebrew philosophy that the people whom he taught do not do, no food to eat, nor water to drink in the wilderness, but they get quail, manna fall from Heaven and water from a rock? (2) Though it seems that only a Southern American can cook a proper dish of rice, let me say to those who cannot cook it good, that rice is one of the most important articles of food that the world produces. More than 800,000,000 people of the world feed upon rice. All India, China, Japan, Arabia and Turkistan, a good portion of Africa, Latin America and the West Indies eat rice. One can even see rice (though disagreeable to the taste) in some tiny dishes passing in a Northern breakfast room. And a Japanese rice-fed troop is superior to a Russian hot cakes and coffee. But what right has the God of the Gospel of Christ cast contempt upon rice, food that God has given to food so many of his people on earth? If Bishop Smith has not had a decent dish of rice it is not the fault of the rice, but his cook. (8) Next, if there is no seat in Africa to sit on, and we cannot build them fast enough, be it known that Africa is Oriental. A Japanese lady who sits on her carpet on the floor is as much a lady as she who sits in chairs. As space will not permit me to point out the multifarious errors of Bishop Smith's mental untidiness. I must here make it short by saying that he is not intelligent enough to take intelligent observation of African affair and enlighten the people of the United States. ATTENTION! To the Negro Business World: It affords me a very great pleasure at this time to call upon every business man and woman of the Negro race for their support and co-operation in so far as the advertising department of the "Negro World" is concerned. The question does not necessarily have to be raised here as to whether or not this medium has your interest and progress at heart, because that should be thoroughly understood; for our principal object in existence is to link the Negroes over the world to the Negroes people to the nature and social standpoint, teaching them that race preservation should be their first thought. Therefore, you can readily see my reason for asking your co-operation. I know personally a lot of progressive enterprises today that used the advertising columns of this paper in their infancy to foster their business. Now that they have attained their desired motive, some of them have absolutely forsaken this carrier of race-first propaganda, that has caused the race to awake to their true sense of duty. Aht forsaken us, though thou have not forsaken us through the entire world conquering the energello and businesslike men and women of our race, and bringing them to the lightness of business endeavor. Now, in New York city we have a circulation of 15,000 copies weekly; this evidently shows you that we have some support in so far as readers are concerned, which we are very glad and thankful for so many admirers. These supporters are thankful, too, apparently for having the sublime pleasure of reading such a powerful race paper which stands triumphantly for equal rights of all people. To exporters, importers and big trades houses, we call upon you especially for your support, for there is not a place under the sun, where Negroes are, that the "Negro World" does not go weekly. So therefore, I sinisterly trust that all the progressive business people of our race will give this matter their undivided attention and support in order to help us accomplish the highest mode of existence among our people. We have a strong existing contract rates at the office, 50 West 185th street, New York city, phone, Harlem 2577, and we will be more than pleased to accommodate you. The year is yet young, so let us quit marking time and instead quick step ahead, for those that delay today are lost for a decade. Bear in mind that it always pays to advertise, and bear also in mind that you should advertise in a medium that will largely inform the general public of your endeavors to serve them willingly, faithfully and rightly. Thanking you in advance and wishing you continued success, I am. Your obedient servant. HAROLD G. SALTUS, Advertising Dent.

With Africa in focus, promoting the Christian faith the least of humanity, they have raised us of our territory, and it is a great wonder that the modern Negro man will be induced to even have a civilization of respect for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The missionary in Africa has often been used as an entering route to the total dominance by the whites of the many blacks. Japan, when she was in her sexy-hardened state, he was interested in the very nature of Christianity and would not allow Western Christianity to get in touch in Japan; and even in the days of Perry, who won our Japanese conquest, she rejected our religion. Europe on modern Christianity! That Japan who selected Christianity in today a powerful nation, and the tribes who named themselves have gone down in shame and open defeat, and have not put aside their freedom, but they lived by the millions and their territory almost in its entirety. This is Christianity's shape, and is the social ending of the civilized world. There can be no real national morality until this blunder is corrected. Dispensacy with this riten background is a Degree to men. Judgition that does not include the freedom of Africa is a burning shame and a menace to the name of Jesus. There can be no religion per any more Christianity that does not prohibit African native freedom. Therefore, the Negro holds the key to the way. The natural appeal of the African soul is for the complete possession of African's abolition territories and intolerance for every life taken, and for every day and every moment of forced servitude. The white man should remain to appear right, until the war against him with his laws is now being threatened. Millions have been enslaved, millions have been dislaborated, and the has been gone until Africa bleeds from every wound. Displays before the civilized world in some appeal for the wrongs she has endured through the centuries. The sad thing about it is that only now and then has the civilized world been able to assume the kind of Nations has come to possess the wealth it can see as no longer unappetized and Divine Justice now threatened the entire white world for these terrible abuses.

Any way, the expression tells the talking dog may turn paws to bark him from slaughter and the man as he bark, in turn smile the one that, she has, told uncomplainingly through the years; but the same Angel has opened the mouth of the mule, and now the mule speaks, saying, "Why have these scultures us these many times." The great white race is between Mets gate and the deep blue sea. The League of National. "There can be no League of Nations until every race is free. Grace is the black man's contention, which we now present to the consideration of every Negro, and to all mankind. The wrongs of the millions captured and sold during the period of slave trade, and the hundreds of thousands who died in the holds of the ships through sheer cruelty and neglect; of the tens of millions who have been killed and destroyed y Belgium and other nations, are now floating to the surface for adjustment. It would have been far better to have an enslaved African nation, and European nations to have robbed them of their lands, and then enslave them on the very soil that they have possessed through the centuries. To all of this, the Christian world has raised no special protest. They have gone around talking about child labor, white slavery, cruelty to animals and such stuff, which appears like fool talk in the presence of the screams and crys of the dying millions. the following is the steel in detail: THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1921 The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Magre Factories Corporation convened at Liberty Hall on Monday, March 7, 1921, with Mr. Vince-president, in the chair. The meeting was called to order at 8:30 p.m. The chairman stated that owing to the fact that the presidee, a first vice-president and secretary were away it would be necessary to nominate and elect a secretary pro tem. On motion of Mr. William Isles, seconded by Mr. Joseph Abel, it was unanimously carried that Mr. David Robinson, secretary of the New York division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, be elected. In a brilliant address by the chairman he told the stockholders of the workings of the corporation and the future prospect. "The Negro in business," he said, is becoming a potent factor, for we are making good in these trying times. The operation of a modern steam laundry and an up-to-date hat store are only stepping stones to our other enterprises. It was then moved and seconded that the meeting be adjourned until some future date, when a more exhaustive and complete report can be given to the stockholders. The motion was carried by a majority vote of 48 to 1. The meeting was accordingly brought to a close. Confirmed: GEO TOHAS, Secretary. D. S. ROBINSON. N. U. I. A. IN OLD PROVIDENCE, BENIDAL OF COLONIA REPUBLIC OF COLUMBIA On May 19, 1820, Mr. Eduardo V. Morales, the General Organizer for Central and South America, came to the island from the ship of the U. N. L. A. and the Black Star Line. He walked the island from point of point, not having any other conway, stopping here and there, preaching the new doctrine of Negroism, until he reached our settlement. Here he labored day and night, convincing all around of the vital importance of becoming members of the U. N. L. A. and encouraging them to purchase shares in the Black Star Line S. S. Corporation. By Sunday evening, May 9, 1920, he had made about eighty members. He there and then called upon the newly made members to elect their officers, when the following were elected: Mr. Alphene Archibold, president; Mr. Ebyn E. W. Wallace, executive secretary; Mr. Lihzadee Berrard, treasurer; Mr. Kihadia Berrard, treasurer; Mr. Groomen Dawkins, treasurer. Not having more than one copy of the constitution, he copied same and handed it to us as our guide, and ever since we have been working simply through his advice, without even one membership certificate. Wednesday, February 2, war a red letter day for the U. N. L. A. People from all parts of the island came to witness the unveiling of the charter. Program.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is entirely and properly cleaned each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed very little expense by dissolving a temperamental oil in the dye剂, in a cup of water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply to all the hairs that need it at the head. This, when mixed into the soft and soft hair, will not only dissolve all hairs that need it at the head, but also soften hair.

"Onward, Christian Soldier!" Welcome address by the president and the purpose of the meeting. A few brief and interesting remarks by the lady president. Then cans the item of the hour, the unwelling of the charter. There was silence as Mrs. Mary Milligan, aided by Mr. A.

The pont-up feelings of the audience books out in cheers. A trio, "The Fight Is On," was sung by three ladies. Mr. Bibb, editor of the Chicago Whip, made an excellent talk regarding the Garvey movement. Mr. H. Hodge made an excellent talk, showing many reasons why the Negroes should join and support the U. N.

Marcus Garvey. Our division is growing rapidly. THE LILIGAN, Reporter Milwaukee, Wis. THE PHILADELPHIA DIVISION OF MANHOTH MEF An editorial in the Negro World last week on "The Onward March of the U N. I. A." told of the mammoth mooting of the Philadelphia Division in the Dunbar Theaters. The Rt. Hon. J. D. Gordon, assistant secretary general, and Rev. Dr. T. S. Horton, president of the Cambridge, Mass., U. N. I. A. carried the house by storm. E. E. C. Brown, the banker, was greeted with tremendous applause when he said of the U. N. I. A. "There is something to it." Such prominent Philadelphiaans as G. Grant Williams, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune; Lawyer Dickerson and Dr. Jordan, foreign missionary secretary of the Baptist Convention, occupied seats on the platform. Dr. Lionel A. Francis, the president, deserves to be congratulated. The program was as follows: Bass solo, Mr. Charles Belford; violin solo, Mr. Stephen Stanford; reading, Mr. Rodger Johnson; cornet solo, Mr. Theo Stephen; reading, Mrs. Garner; solo, Miss Enid Willis; reading, Mrs. Russell Hammon; solo, Miss Maud Pottier; violin solo, Mr. Stephen Stanford; Mrs. Maud Francis Potter, musical director.

Building, Museum, City, Mp. Though of recent formation, at a time when weather and other conditions made rapid progress an impossibility, this society was able to welcome on the 8th and 8th inst. His Grace, the Rev. Dr. George Alexander McGuire, whose mission had for its object the raising of funds toward the Liberian Loan, and also to give a fuller explanation of the objects and aims of the parent body in the construction of Liberia. He held three mass meetings which were attended by large and appreciative audiences, which showed their interest in the movement by subscribing o the loan and pledging to support it in the future. Greater efforts would have been made by the members of this branch to contribute, but on account of the present financial depressing much money is not in circulation, but with the return of better times we hope to do better in the support of the loan, as well as the other corporations connected with the U. N. I. A. A written address was delivered to His Grace, who replied in suitable terms. During its short stay here the impression made by the Chaplai General was great, as the doctor is a man of charming personality and seems to know how to reason with the Negroes of the west. This branch is preparing to send for its charter and other working requisites so as to enable it to take its proper place among the other divisions of the organization. At the same time, I am glad to so, that the officers and members are working with renewed spirit to keep the fire of the organization ablaze, and the hopes for the future are bright. We have added to our branch a Black Cross Corps under the management of Mrs. C. F. Burrowes, and our energetic secretary, Mr. Hugh Johnson, together with Miss Dobbs, is sparing no efforts in planning means for raising money to carry on the work of the association. Wishing you and your staff success in your efforts in the cause of Negro progress, I remain. President U. N. I. A. Meron, Camagua, Cuba. UP OVER THE U. N.I.A. Rev. Dr. J. H.

Dr. Wilson said: "The leading Negroes of Louisiana Ky., the ministers, lawyers and doctors, teachers and business clans, are interested in the U. N. L. A. I have remained among those for the period of five weeks. The outcook is great, because of their business qualifications, cordiality to strangers—in fact, the most unselfish lot I have ever met." Their church doors are open for righteousness. Places of business for business are up to the mark. These are the places where I have five times that many more among them on behalf of the parent body of the U. N. L. A. believing that I will get a greater co-operation from them the more intelligence that is given them upon the work. They are in for everything that means development for the race, and have some of the best societies among the people." MR. SOL PLAATJE ADDRESSES THE BROOKLYN U. N. I. A. Brooklyn cannot be hit. It.

CHARTER IN BLUEFIELDS NICARAGUA, CENTRAL AMERICA Mr. Walker and Others Deliver Epoch Making Speeches. in the Municipal Hall of the Faculty on November 21 the State Council Division of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. unveiled its charter (No. 94). That the occasion was one in which a large number of the Negro denizens of the community felt great interest was unmistakably manifested by the presence of hundreds of them, by whom not only was that spacious building filled to its utmost seating capacity, but no standing room was even left in its ample galleries. As though in honor of the remarkable occasion and Nature contrived toward the better success of the latter one of those bright yet temperate afternoons so usually experienced in the summer season of tropical chances. At 10 p.m. the pres- tation, Mr Felix G. Aubert, occupying the chair called to order the waiti- ng, anxious things, after which the latter at his request, rose, and as the openi- ng cared for the old and universally familiar m. From Green- land's key Mountains. Tl the acting chaplain prayed Brief remarks, whereby was stated the purpose of the gathering and a hearty welcome ex- tended to the audience were then made by the president. Following this and after being introduced as the first speaker Mr J. Alfred Walker, among other things, said Mr. President, Mr. Vice-President, U. N. I. L. Lutes and U. M. A. L. Lindsay and G. O. Lindsay I have been hearing from time to time some distinctive criticisms about the U. N. L. A. and its objects, but what scars my heart is that these incesses—three shakes of slander and disagreement come sometimes from some of our own people. Good Lord, what mental blindness? "The title of the U. N. L. A. are first. Its people are grand. What are its claims in brief? Common common from the standpoint of equal rank and Africa for the Negro! The Negro dead before the bar of the door that they are distrilled that they are sinned and that they are enchanted. Gentlemen we are pied and rejected because we are beak. And is not color but skin deep. Did not God the Creator, look upon the work of creation and pronounce them good? Then why are we pieded? We are denied the positions of rank and given the subordinate ones. With our money in our portlets even though we are cultured gentlemen, we are denied the comforts of trays, build others feast on the table, the table and we peek the crumbs from under. The innocent is even right. Let us write: "Looking in, you and we see that I have white blood in my veins, but what happens? My father's race has rejected and disinherited me, but my mother's took me in with love. That is human is and a sense of duty. Am I not as much my father's child as I am my mother's." Certainly I am. "Gentlemen, in conclusion, I urge that we be financially strong. We must have intellectual strength also, and above all we must have moral strength. These will make us powerful, and by power the U. N. L. A. will accomplish its objects for our glory." (Vigorous apache). The baritone, Mr. Hugh Milhask, sang, in his famously excellent voice "Love Me the Wonder of Faith" Miss Hippeanla Gutta, principal of the Anglarian Elementary School, was then childhood as the next speaker. She proceeded to the rostrum amidst deafening clamors, and as soon as the latter permitted her melodious voice to be audible, the enthusiastic audience began hearing the following address: Mise Quitte Speaka Mr. President, Officers and Members of the U. N. J. A. Lads and the It affords me much pleasure to be present at this great occasion—the unveiling of your charter. I am well pleased to see how conscious you are of its value. My dear friends, the U. N. & A. in a grasped and glorious organization. Its purpose is most worthwhile. No doubt you are all aware of the fact that its objects are to split the race, to preach to us that we need love our race more. And we not know how essential these are all. To bind together the Negro race in all parts of the world four briefly, when there has ever been, and there is even now, the unmost need of co-operation. Yes, to convince us that we are not inferior to the root of mankind, but that in proportion as the Negro has brain-power, in proportion as he has traught-power, in proportion as he has will-power and determination, in that, proportion will he the master of his own destiny. Then let us realize that God has endowed us with as much power as he has given to other races of mankind. (Cheers.) Negroes with no longer be looked upon contemptuously when we demonstrate that we compete with other races in the field and in commerce. Consent is the basis of justice. We means sacrifice, loyalty, patriotism, moral enthusiasm, confidence. We must hope for things unseen. Let us not only try to develop intellectually and financially, but for it we also endeavor to develop morally and spiritually—having that Great One as our chart and compass. So let us match steadily onward, towards the goal. Friends, it's a goal worth living for, and a goal worth living for. (Prolonged captures applause.) Misses Hita Aubert and Eleanor Harvey then sang in a charming manner "Light of the Morning." Following this, the president of the division, Mr. Felix Aubert, addressed the audience in part as follows: "Fellow men of the Negro Frace It is to be our endeavor to enlist our forces in the social, moral and educational betterment of our people, as the N. I. A. admonishes. It is impossible to overestimate the value of such men, and to avoid the killing of one. Each of us should remember that every word and action of ours represents the Universal Negro Improvement Association's action, and that, consequently, the worth of the N. I. A. stands or falls accordingly. "Let me implore the sympathy and activity of the ladies also. In the past women have not usually been granted official positions. In these times things are changing in that as well as in other respects, for women have proved their ability to organise and to work for the social regeneration of the human race as effectively as men. Should they not therefore unite with us in this grand and noble operation?" (Great aplause.) The Unvelling of the Charter. The unveiling of the charter was then announced to be the following act, and with the entire assembly standing, Master Atha Falquire and Mice Emina Talley slowly drew away the vail which had been concealing that instrument, whereupon rapturous clapping of hands proceeded from the gladstone throng. When stillness was restored, Mr. Albert Bryan, upon announcement of the president, read with rare elocutionary ability, the contents of the unveiled document, at the end of which reading more animated cheers burst forth. This excitement reluctantly gave room to the singing by the entire assembly of the Mr. Leonard E. Green, attorney-at-law, then spoke. Following this the well-known cloctonist, Mice Dear Hodgson, with much dramatic effect, recited the poem, "To Frederick Denness," for which she was Miss Christine Bobb, is a similar manner, and for which she also was vigorously dressed, resisted the competition, "Kithapa's Star." Succeeding this, Miss Christine Dash, in a very impressive way, recited the poem, "The Universal Indian Anambhee." For it she received a lengthy applause. Then Julia Powell and Miss Adela-Cale Moore recited a recited in a praiseworthy style, the position "IT" and "We Are Coming," receiving therefor from the audience the customary token of gratification. These recitations were followed by the vocal solo and chorus, "Red, Black and Green," rendered artistically by the choir. Then was recited in a very credible manner the poem, "The Call of Ethiopia," by Miss Ena R. Gonzales. She was vociferously cheered. Miss Edith Curtis then sang the solo, "Remember the Poor," for which she was filled with great animation. The recitation, "Kovu Kovu," then very competently rendered by Miss Iris Campbell. It was indeed delightful to the audience, and for it she received probed clapping of hands. With the singing of the Doxology by the entire assembly the function's program came to its close, leaving on the countenances of the retiring multitude evidence of comfort and good cheer.

If space permits it will appear in full in next week's issue of The Negro World.] ALMIRANTE BRANCH UNVEILS The charter of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. of Boca Division was unveiled at the Almizurna Branch on Sunday, 2d inst. Owing to the inconvenience of the weather, the ceremony did not start until 4 p. in. The hall was packed to its utmost. Prominent among those on the platform were J. A. C. McOham, divisional president, and also president of the Almizurna Branch; Mr. T. H. Saunders, general organizer; Mr. Joseph Lynch, first vice-president, and also president of the Bobas Branch; Dr. C. C. Williams, chairman Honorary Advice Board; Mr. Felix A. Russell, general secretary, and Mr. Robt. Lawson, chaplain; Mr. Gordon and Misses Lynch and Ferdinand represent the Bobas chair; Mr. A. C. Williams, director of the Almizurna Musical League, and members of the league. After the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," a portion of Scripture was read, followed by prayers by the Chaplain. The Divisional President then introduced Jan. W. Richardson, first vice-president of the Almirante Branch, to the audience as master of ceremonies, who on behalf of the branch extended a hearty welcome to the visitors and wished them a happy and prosperous New Year and after a few brief remarks turned his attention to a lengthy programme. The first was a beautiful anthem by the Musical League. Welcome address by Mr. A. C. Wilmith. Duet by Mrs. Thomas and Miss Curley Aldridge. Mrs. Anderson presided at the organ. Quarter ceremony and unveiling. Miss Lynch, "We Now Unveil." Address by organizer, followed by Mr. Jon. Lynch, vice-president, Boca Branch, and addresses by representatives of the other branches of the U. N. I. A. and friendly societies. The charter was unveiled by Mrs. Thomas and Miss Gedon. We highly commend Mr. Richard A. Foote for the able manner he acted as messenger in delivering the charter. He claimed the dispensation, read and burned some, while Mrs. Thomas and Miss Gedon did the unveiling. The representatives were Mr. Van Hern for Farm No. 6) the Ulaquiaan of Darn Farm No. 8) Mr. Anderson for Doe Canes; Mr. Burrell for Pride of Almbrantes; Mrs. Beatrice Cambridge for Myrtle Star, and Mr. McGhan for Moose. A beautiful function was brought to its close by the benediction and singing of the national anthem. J. A. C. MCGHAN, Pres. JAS. M. RICHARDSON, V.-Pres. J. C. CROSS, Secv. houss. d'l Foam A publication of renamed Negro Artists both vocalists and instrumentalists will be presented. They are among the artists that the late and prominent also are generally regarded as. Call-Clarence Gortell, Peter and Estherine (sometimes) the occasion will be particularly unique, and therefore, the use of importance, (its artistic significance will be of an little interest, for Negro musical authorities). A lady correspondence is to be distilled y writes her after reading it citing from an Australian newspaper which I sent her and which is quite as viti- able against the Negro as any utter- ness of the late lamented (1) one- sided Ben Filman, and says, "Certainly the Negro is wrong in fighting however, believe in him. I trust God and feel that it is not His plan to let one people forever trample under foot another." Sometimes however, I am terribly dismayed by the attitude of the daughter loving Margo, who is satisfied to look good and wear smart clothes regardless of the smallness of his purse and the limited development of his brain. There is an alarming increase of such among us her hero. The kind who make Bert Williams' songs their standard of good music. Don't you think he hurts us more than he helps us to the way those songs that belittle and smirch us that he sets the world to singing. Do you not feel that many white persons believe they stand for their love of music. I wonder if he has there enough that his great ability to be funny might be more valuable if it were not used to make us laughing to be laughed at all the time? I would like very much to have a chance to talk to him about the matter. He has even taken the minister as a butt. It is painfully true there is a lamentable laxity among this class, but each we afford to sing it to white people? I understand his royalties force him to pay an income tax of forty thousand dollars ($40,000). Surely he has done enough mischief to begin to improve matters." The points are well taken, the criticism is just. I certainly do think that Burt's contagious wit and humor are doing us more harm than good. His work is artistic, his humor is compelling, his very walk evokes the wildest hilarity. But oh! the effects of all this on the race protected upon the altar of wit and humor by a member of the race who is coiling thousands of dollars annually by making white people laugh at his own people. What Jew or Irishman or Englishman or American has ever had his own race up to the ridicule and pitying contention of another? The Jewish race protested vigorously against the presentation and teaching in the public schools of "The Merchant of Venice," because the interpretation of the character of Shylock was accounted a libel upon the Jewish character; the Irish protested vigorously and successfully against the production of the play called "The McFadden Flats," because it insured and libelled their race. But We Negroes (some of us) spend our money to go to see Mr. Burt Williams caricature the Negro and hear the uproarous laughter of his audience to whom his catears and the women in great actor because white managers have found in him a white manager for themselves, one who can present the Negro as they would wish to see him. There is nothing elbowing or dignified in Bert Williams songs or antics. He is simply a clown who is getting rich by playing the clown for white people who have the idea that Negroes have no high ideals and that Negroes have no high things. Is it any wonder that white people have such little respect for Negroes, when Bert Williams is doing so much with his walk, his songs and jokes to create the imposition in their minds that we are a race of happy-go-lucky shotgun shooters. that our always are all a group of ignorant men who, sometimes, among a ignorant woman who, sometimes, among a woman's children or his wife in the name of the 'Lawd'? You do we think that William, who always wandered through and mistaken into wrong chanale, which in the sense to come will be pursued on his memory for having communicated the shortcomings of the rest, because it PAYS. It is a dirty bird that calls its own nest. A Messe de Paris Honorage to the 18996 Mozambique who died for France. From the French translated by Mr. Sot T.

Moh Moslem of Algiers, Turkey, Morocco as well as Egypt consider that this generous initiative on the part of the French Government should be encouraged not only by words of gratitude, but above all by effective participation in the accomplishment of the idea. They have opened a subscription list which includes considerable sums and is still growing. The initial result has been so promising that the original project had to be altered. Not only will a Mosque be erected at Paris, but the scheme includes a "Maison de l'Islam" which will provide, besides the religious edifice, a series of institutions that will provide for the Mohammedans among us avenues to institutional programs hitherto lacking, such as a meeting hall, library, club etc. The scheme is in a fair way towards its realization, or the idea is already taking shape. The father of the scheme is the Arabian Prince S. Kaddour Ben Ghachib, etc. etc. Dan Gibbath is a keen and intelligent prince. He proved this in the course of important and delicate missions he carried out during the war, natally at Medina. He knows that in deciding to endow Pairs with a Mosque, the French have conceived an idea that will greatly touch his co-religionists' "think of the importance of this project," he said, to Mr. Gee, London of the "Journal," at a time when the Mohammedans were most successful in his mission. The creation of a Mosque in your capital will appear to them as a humane paid to the hundred thousand Mohammedans killed on the battlefield, and also as an set of courtesy and respect to the twenty million Moslems in your colony, your possessions and dependencies. brutally savage and cowardly burning as the states in Nebraska, Ark., pt the Negro, Henry Lotuy, by a mot of some five or six hundred white savages in January that will, like chickens, come home to roost. "God is not dead and his justice steeps past, not." America will pay! pay! pay! for every drop of blood died by the Negro as a result of his contest with the white savages of the South, who are a law unto themselves and imagine themselves to be invincible and impregnable. The day of doom for the white man is fast approaching. My thanks are due to Prof. W. B. D. DuBois, secretary of the Pan-African Congress scheduled to assemble in Paris sometime in September next. I wish it the success it deserves, and I sincerely hope that enough Negro millennia will be found on the side of the salt ponds to make up a respectable delegation of American Negroes. I notice on the circular accompanying the invitation, that our dear God, Jesus Conkling Simmons is a member of the international committee that my friend H. M. Arroyo has mayor of Ditteres, England. Bede the last, Colonel Conkling Simmons portrays elegance is worth giving a soul, and miles to hear, to those who like listen to his philosophical warbling. May he be mistaken. (I doubt it) I am confident the high self for treating the United States to Paris, and the high cost of living now in active operation in the United States, there will not be many acceptances of Dr. Simmons generous and cordial invitation to "see" this movement from patrons in the United States. The money is here, of course, the brotherthe who have it, are not given to loosening up their pure strings for private attributions movements in "twirling" fades. I again most cordially and sincerely thank Dr. DBSBIs for his generous invitation and beg to renew to hire the assistance of my high consideration and regard, my best wishes for the success of the Pan-African Congress. ```markdown ``` SEND NO MONEY Dead Bid This Weekend From 10am to 5pm Please submit your bid by 10am on Friday, June 18th.

If "the dead know not anything," how is it possible for the dead to communicate with the living, as spiritualists claim, they do who receive (?) messages said to come from the other world? We are bound to accept the conclusion of the old prophet that, "The dead know not anything"—and we are from Missouri, and quite ready and willing to be shown that the dead do know anything, after they are laid away in the six feet of earth which makes us all of one also. We challenge proof to the contrary. There has not yet been given any satisfactory proof that will stand the acid test, that the dead do manifest themselves and speak to the living. If they do, then God's prophet is a liar, and we do not believe he is when he affirms "that the dead know not anything." We take his phrase to mean that the dead, when they die, are really dead. That the facilities which they possessed and exercised in the living state cease to function when the breath leaves their bodies, that they are inanimate bodies and therefore are irresponsive to the call of those who like to believe that they still are living entities in another sphere, and are still possessed of amnesia, feelings and the power to give expressions to their thoughts and a description of their new place of habitation. This is an idle dream. The dead are dead and know not anything! HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR SHARES IN THE BLACK STAR LINE?

Lineinel and Republican Party Favor Perpetual Glavery. Early in 1861, while the Northern legislators were now towing to the Southern sentiment, a committee composed of thirteen members of the Sane ate and thirty-one members of the House was created to bring in resolutions on the basis of the Crittenden compromise, which, had been previously offered to Congress. "The record of that committee," says Mr. Blaine, "in one which cannot be reviewed, with pride or satisfaction any objection of a State to the Union. Mr. Charles Francis Adams proposed that the Constitution of the United States be so amended that no subsequent amendment thereto 'having for its objekt any interference with slavery' shall originate with any State that does not recognize that relation within its own limit, or shall be valid without the assent of every one of the States composing the Union." Says Mr. Blaine in comment: "No Southern man during the long agitation of the slavery question, extending from 1820 to 1860 had ever submitted so extreme a proposition as that of Mr. Adams. The most precious munitions of personal liberty never had such deep embodiment in the organic law of the Republic as Mr. Adams now proposed for the protection of slavery. Yet, the proposition was opposed by only three members of the committee of thirty-three, and they were Mason W. Tappan of New Hampshire, Cadwalader C. Washburn of Wisconsin and William Kollog of Illinois. "The first amendment proposed that in 'all of the United States south of the old Missouri line either now held or to be heronafter acquired, the slavery of the African race is recognized' as existing, not to be interfered with by Congress, but to be protected as property by all the departments of the territorial Government during its continuance." "The second amendment declared that "Congress shall have no power to interfere with slavery even in those places under its exclusive jurisdiction in the slave States." "The third amendment took away from Congress the exclusive juridification over the District of Columbia as guarantee of Congress's jurisdiction, description of Congress should 'never interfere with slavery in the District except with the consent of Virginia and Maryland so long as it exists in the States of Virginia and Maryland." "The fourth amendment prohibited Congress from interfering with the transportation of slaves from one State to another or from one State to any other territory south of the Missouri line." "That meant that slaveholders could migrate to the Northern States resort with slavery which had been abolished by the Legislature as a domestic institution in those Northern States." "The sixth amendment," says Mr. Blaine, "provided for a perpetual existence of the five amendments just quoted by placing them beyond the power of the people to change or revise, declaring that no future amendment to the Constitution shall ever be passed that shall affect any provision of the five amendments just recited; that the provision in the original Constitution which guarantees the court of three-fifths of the slaves in the basement of a resentment shall be changed by any amendment that no amendment shall be made which alters or impairs the original provision for the recovery of fugitives from service; that no amendment shall be made that shall over permit Congress to interfere 'any way with slavery in the States where it may be permitted. "When the report of the committee came before the House for action the series of resolutions was first tested by motion to lay upon the table, which was defeated by a vote of nearly two to one; and after an angry debate running through several days the resolutions were adopted by a large majority on February 27, 1861. When the constitutional amendment was reached Mr. Corwin substituted for that which was originally drafted by Adams an amendment declaring that no amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize it to Congress the power to abolish or to interfere within any state with the domestic jurisdiction thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service the law of said state." This was adopted by a vote of 183 to 63. It was numbered as the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution and would have made slavery perpetual in the United States so far as any influence or power of the national government could affect it. 7 HUBFRT H. HARRISON "It in renched slavery securely in the organic law of the land and elevated the privilege of the slaveholder beyond that of the owner of any other species of property. It received the votes of a large number of Republicans who were ban and afterwards prominent in the councils of the party. Among the most distinguished were Mr. Abraham B. McKinney, Mr. Howard of Michigan, Mr. Winton of Minnesota and Messra Moorhead and McPherson of Pennsylvania." Now how did Abraham Lincoln stand connected with this? For the answer you have to turn to Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address. So many of us read this State paper just as we read the emancipation proclamation and we do not seem to understand what it is that they really tell us. In the first inaugural, Abraham Lincoln said in reference to this proposal, which was then before the Congress: "I understand that a proposed amendment to the Constitution—which amendment, however, I have not seen—has passed Congress to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions, including that of persons held to labor or service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments, so far as to say that, holding such a provision now to be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and treovocable." "To Save the Union—Not to Free the Slaves." During the first year and a half of the war the white working men of England and Europe made repeated requests to Lincoln to declare that the freedom of the Negro slaves was one " the objects of the war, Karl Marx and the working men of Great Britain particularly urged him to do this, pointing out that the Tories of England were making capital of the fact that they could not get their cotton and were stirring up trouble to get England into the war on the side of the Confederacy. Said the working men of England: "If you would now declare that this is a war to free the slaves, we will smoke them out and in the name of human altruism we will compel the Government of Britain to keep its hands off." And even so—even though WEST INDIAN NOTES Labor in Cuba. According to the Gleaner, the sugar planters of Cuba are now complaining of the service they are getting from Jamaica and Haitian laborers. They complain that these people will not work and that they are hampering the sugar industry of the republic. What is to be done the planters did not say, or, rather, in the dispatch which the Jamaica newspaper published, it was told the simply by the insensitive by the laying out that the men will not work they will become a charge on the public funds. Obviously, of course, this was intended for Cuban consumption, as we in Jamaica surely know the reason why Jamaicans or KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! DAT AND EVENING CLASSES. SCHERZ AT ANY TIME.

WARNING TO THE NEGRO PUBLIC OF AMERICA A man claiming to be PRINCE MADARIKAN DENIYI, alleged to be a native prince of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa, is travelling through the United States lecturing to colored people and asking for financial help. This man appeared in Liberty Hall, New York, some months ago and received a public collection from the Negroes of this city, stating that he was a native prince of Africa and that he was about to return to Africa to work in the cause of his people. Information to land proves that this man is not a prince from Africa; he is an imposter. It is now alleged that he is a propagandist receiving money to preach disunity among American and West Indian Negroes so that the educated Negroes of this Western Hemisphere may not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa, but allow the White Nations of Europe to control and exploit the continent. All Negro organizations and churches are asked to look out for this man. their requests were backed up by each big man in America as Monon·D. Conway, Augustus Stalla, Judge Lorenzo Taft and Horace Greely—even though the support of the Liberal parties of Europe hung in the balance, Abraham Lincoln was so wedded to his wife, which is not the view currently held by the Republican party, not say that the war was a war to slaves, but insisted instead in saying again and again that the war was not a war to free slaves. Greeley was impatient at this attitude of the President. He hold that it was an ignoble Morality—the morality of the slink politician—and he had the courage to write an open letter to him, in which he stated that point of view. In his letter replying to Greeley's, Lincoln said, among other things: "I would save the union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored, the nearer the union will be 'the union as it was'. If there be those who would not save the union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I can save the union without freeing any slave, I would do it. If I can save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that—and I might add parenthetically that that is exactly what he did, as I shall prove to you later. "What I do about slavery," he goes on, "and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the union, and what I forbear I forbear because I do not think it helps to save the union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause; I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause." I wish to say have that it is a very sensible reason which Mr. Lincoln gives. It is statemanlike and it merts approval for statismanship. But since "you cannot eat your cake and have it, too" it effectually disposes of any claim to the Negroes' gratitude on the grounds of high moral altruism and benevolence. (To be concluded next week.) Haitians will not work as they worked before. According to what we have heard the reason is that the men are not being paid in coin; that all they are receiving are bits of paper to procure them food at the commissariat, while the Cuban workers are paid otherwise. It must certainly be something of the sort given to them in the form of reward; indeed, they were regarded as most satisfactory workers. Let the Cuban planter pay the workers regularly and properly and again there will be heard not one word of complaint—The Northern News. ST. LUCIA. Wants the Franchise.

Encoument ran high here last Saturday night when it was reported that certain stores in Broad street were on fire. Investigation disclosed that a building situated in Middle street belonged to J. C. Kallman and occupied by C. F. Cole, the printer, and Mr. Evelyn, motor mechanic, had taken fire and that flames had spread to certain adjoining premises. The alarm turned in at the Bridges Station, and the fire appeared on the scene they found that up against a tough job. They worked energetically and succeeded, after la-boing for over two hours in subduing the flames. Another alarm of fire was reported. This came from Halls Road. Hundreds of spectators watching the Middle street fire, seeing the glare of another conflagration reflected in the sky started in scarce, and in that curious way in which news trevaola they located the fire in Roberta Gap, Halls Road.

GEORGE ALEXANDER M'GUIRE With the greatest pleasure the Guantanamo Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League presides his Grace, our Mighty appointed Chaplain General, Dr. M. Miyagi, Alexander, McGoura, who knows us with his valuable experience, Primer 18th edn. Tuesday, 11th June, during which time he will explain the minds of our entire division with the greatest articility the unbounded potential is in store for each and every man who now, without the abstraction, imagination, whatever, should bound himself to bear to start every possible effort to support our grand movement. It has been quit, complication to be all that His Grace is classed with the most conspicuous, ardent and brave workers of this movement, namely, my mind, having men of his class at the head of afaras, our success is undoubtedly forthcoming. There was the greatest amount of necessity and anxiety in the midst of our people ever since the Jews was rumored of the coming of His Grace to visit the great branches in Cuba and that we were interested in his program, in which case, in quite understood regarding the grape, preparations that we considered to make is order to render his visit worthwhile. However, our short comment in winter was lacking, has been due in the missing pans, caused by the morbidity, of which His Grace had now duly, convinced, though from his morbidity it has been quite evident that he was well satisfied with the making up of the many branches he should include the Guantanamo Dive, which he stated has been classed among the first class, for which we are more than pleased. them was sung. His Grace at this juncture called for three cheers on behalf of the Cuban Government and especially the Cuban members of the Negro Improvement Association, and then our National Anthem was sung and His Grace again called for three cheers on behalf of the redemption of Africa, and our Provisional President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. The choir here rendered an anthem, and the conductor wrote about the entire meeting, with Mr. Daniel Richardson presiding at the organ. Our local president, Mr. Joseph Matthias, here addressed His Grace and the entire audience. Dr. McGuire Speaks. His Grace here said: Worthy-president, officers and members of both the Chartered and the Cuban Auxiliary divisions, before announcing the subject of my address I want to give a notice, and that is to the effect that I desire to meet at some time during my stay here before Tuesday night all people who are deafrous of holding Sunday morning services in connection with this division of the U. N. I. A. in this Liberty Hall to meet me and the officers and the Rev. Alexander Charles so that we may lay out some plans for such services. Now, I want to speak to you on the subject of "Conquering the Impossible" or "They said he could not do it, but he did it." It was the angulah moment of the people of Israel when they stood before the yearning of the red sea, and with the vast number of infantry, and thousands of charlots appearing, imagine their leader standing before them while they saw the Red Sea raiding before them, as they looked on either side, there stood the mountains—escape seemed to be impossible. Moses, you say that you are our leader, you will take us out of bondage and now see the predicament in which you have placed us, there are two imposable mountains on each side of us. It is imposable so far as human judgment is concerned, but Moses stood there and trified to see the people, and as he stood there he sent up a silent prayer, for prayer is not always expressed in words, and Moses sent a silent prayer to Almighty God and immediately came back the answer to Moses. Wherefore prayer is very necessary, but this is not the time for prayer now, it is the time for action. There are times when we cannot do anything else but to pray and there are times when we must get up and do something for ourselves. We cannot just kneel and pray to God to give us our daily bread, we must also help ourselves and then God will give us our daily bread. Faith and prayer are necessary, but there comes a time when man must help himself and God only helps those who help themselves, and if this race does not learn to help itself it cannot expect God to help it. Oliver *Cromwell* was a man who whenever he was going to face the battle, he would summon his men to stand at attention and he himself lead them in prayer just before the bugle sounds for battle, there he stood at attention and offered up prayer to Almighty God. Marcus Garvey is now conquering the impossible. He is a great man. You may criticise him, you may ridicule him, but he has a purpose true and he fares to make it known. Marcus Garvey against the world. "Atlanticia contra mundum." No white man has cleared the impossible. They blind to clear the north pole for six year now we are trying to get to the north pole. "Anything that appears great, the white man claims that he does its unfriendly it is anything as great as Marcus Garvey's move. Well, friends, I believe we can well stand all this heat in the world.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1921 The choir here rendered a beautiful anthem, after which His Grace thanked the choir for the massther in which they had sung. Rev. Charles Speaks The Rev. Alexander Charles here addressed the audience in part, saying: As I look at the portrait of this Honorable Gentleman, our Provisional President General (looking steadfast at the picture), it seems to me as if that honorable gentleman is listening, listening, listening. I have been in Cuba a pretty short time and I am hoping to be able to live in Cuba as long as it is possible to do my best to pave the way for the benefit of all of our people who are in Cuba and also to pave the way for the young children, boys and girls, as I believe that there is a great epoch for Cuba. Is there anyone here tonight who would say that he will not do anything for his race; or let him stand up. (There is not one.) I am sure that if there is any one here who believes that there is no good in this great movement and criticizes it, he is going to come forward later on and become one of us, he will have to become one of our race. The next speaker being a Cuban by the name of Elacio Espino who delivered himself most eloquently in Spanish, and of course each and every word of his address were not understood by the audience but from his attitude and from the impression that his address took on the several other Cubans present and the cheers given by them, it was quite conspicuous of his intention to express his warm feeling towards the move. Other Speakers Mr. Clifford Skidleton, secretary of the Palma Soriano Division, who was present in the meeting, next spoke. He said, in part: "I want to say to you, people, that at the first time I saw the Negro World newspaper, and realized it was a Negro concern, I felt fiery over the movement and immediately. I subscribed to the newspaper and wrote to the Parent Body and asked for permission to organize a branch in my district, and immediately I got a reply to go ahead even with three members, and now I am pleased to say that we are growing and going ahead as hard as possible, and I say to you, Guilliamardo Division, to beware, because we are growing so rapidly that in a short time we will have to ask you to switch off, as we will be coming with such force that we must crush "you." His Greece here explained "that the secretary of the Talia Horano Division, having challenged the Gunitean name Division, he will have to pay taxes a visit before leaving to see what they can do." 8 Mr. George Hollinger vice president of the Hartnock Division, the vice president. Agents and dealers wanted at once all over the world to sell Enlarged Photo Medallions of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the American Leader, the International Organizer, the Chaplain General, the Assistant President General and other high officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All those who would like to have their picture made into an enlarged Photo Medallion in the Red, Black and Green can do so by sending their picture to the same address.

We have new come to the end of our program for the day, and I want to thank you, for we in a very pleasant Sunday "you in Guantanamo, and I want to tell you that there is no Liberty Hall in New York that could give a better day than we have had in the Liberty Hall at Guantanamo." The meeting came to a close with the singing of "Onward, Christian Soldier" at 12:35 p. m. On Monday, the 14th meet, the meeting started, as before, at 7:30 p. m. when Mr. F. Gabriel, vice-president of this division, after a few, fowal routines had been performed, addressed the audience in brilliant ardor, after which His Grace said: "I want to see you all keep on going towards my secretary. I am pleased to-night, I am sure you see that I am pleased, because you have now gone up as high as $800 in cash for bonda. I must say that when I give my address in Liberty Hall. N. York, I shall speak that although there is a great difficulty, financially, to be taken into consideration, that Guantanamo is in a class by themelves. An anthem was here rendered by the choir, and was nlessly sung. Mr. Hillhouse said in part: "To His Grace, I hope that you will kindly take home good tidings of the Guantanamo Division. We are trying our utmost best. Miss Glacombe said: "Your Grace, Mr. President, Officers, Members and friends of this division: It gives me great pleasure to be present here tonight and to be able to speak I- the pro- sec of one who has come to us as a representative of the Honorable Marcus Garvary, Provisional President of Africa. I am glad, sir, that I am living in this age, the age of reconstruction of the Negro race. We were taught that the Greeks gave civilization to the world, but we now learn that the Negroes gave civilization to the Greeks; therefore, we clearly see that the Negro race was the first civilized race in history, and from their mighty achievements of ancient days prove that we are indeed the greatest race under the sun. "We are indeed grateful that Your Grace has been selected as our first visitor from the Parent Body, because your presence demonstrates to us the fact that this movement is not only political and commercial, but it is also religious, or otherwise there would be no need for a Chaplain General. I feel sure that your visit is doing much good for us. I believe that you are an inspiration to the young of our race, who should strive to follow your example and fit ourselves to fill great positions in this world-wide movement; we realize, with the poet, that: "The Lord by great men reached and kept. Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, Were tolling upward, through the night." "We read in Holy Writ that 'Where there is no vision the people perish; the Negro race has nearly perished through oppression by the other races, but we thank Mr. Marcus Garvey has seen the vision, that he has heard and upheld the call, and that he has risen up in the strength of God to deliver his people; he has not only had the vision himself but he has been able to inspire other great men—our honored visitor and others with this vision. If the Hon. Marcus Garvey had disbelieved this call, he might have remained just plain Marcus Garvey in his home in Jamaica, but because he obeyed, today he is the Provisional President of Africa and President General of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. Let us as individuals learn to obey every divine impulse and our race shall be benefited thereby. It will mean a lot of sacrifice to us as a race and people to set Africa free, but even as Hannibal the great Negro hero of old as he led his forces. over the Alps and when his men were worn with the great hardships of warfare and flesh and blood could scarcely stand any longer, he cheered them on to victory by the ringing battle-cry. 'Beyond the Alps lay Italy,' so let us go ahead and remember that beyond all the self-denials we may behold a free and redeemed Africa. I hope that the time is not far hence when instead of 4,000,000 active member, there will be ten 'times as many. The few other speakers consisted of M. Joseph O'Brien, Mrs. Sponser, Mr. Ernest Peterson and Mr. Agard who delivered themselves quite amply and enthusially and accordingly received cheers. His Grace here thanked Miss G. Moncreath who made and delivered to him a very nicely speed and rich cake, which he assured he he would set like in touch until he went back home, as he was more than pleased with it and would like to take it along with him to show his friends the many presents he has received in Cuba. He also man- tured that the amount for bonds received in cash being $1,500 from this division with collection of $181, to say nothing of the other divisions in Cuba. O.

(Cheers.) This meeting tonight is called so that the Negroes who are not yet members to come forth and join without delay. (Applause.) Now I am asking the audience, kindly, to sing a song so as to suit my preliminary starting. The song was immediately presented to the hint was: "Nearer My God to Thee." The song was sung by R. Webley, the chaplain, offered a prayer, the principal part of his prayer was as follows: Lord God Almighty, I besechest Thee to grant blessings upon us, so that we may be united together as one race and of one nation. It was quite a dispensing prayer to each and every individual pericardium in the hall. The good president then rose with an interesting speech. He said: Ladies and gentlemen, I am asking you to be united together, of which I request your rememberance of the kings of old, of whom were all rulers of the inhabitants, therefore, I am reminding you all tonight that Hon. He is fighting for the Negro race, and so shall we offer our possible assistance so as to gain our future requirements. (Applause.) The secretary, Scott, speaks.

Marus Garvey is seeking for it, for he has sent out messages all over the world concerning same, so that we may stretch forth our hands and offer our most possible help. (Cheers.)

They are both very popular figures of the Division, the lady being the leading aide of the chair, also a member of the Black Cross Nurses Association. The gentleman is not a true man to the cause, but is it! foster father of the Division. Just a year ago when the founders of the Division were faced with a circumstantial barrier, which had to be removed before their plans for planting the movement in our midst could be effected, when the aspect that the project bore was little short of "who will bell the cat." Mr. Campbell, then daring all, the apparent disagreeable consequences, which threatened his action, sacrificed the half of his house to the cause. Very few Mr. Campbell can be found in this community, and for this reason we ought to take advantage of this opportunity to show this gentleman some appreciation for what he has done towards this great and noble cause. We wish the couple long continued happiness, and hope that Providence will bless their united innocent endeavor in all that goes to make up material welfare. ARTHUR M. SUTTON. Harwilton. U. N. I. A.

Riley, the representative of the official body, who is superintending the work of the Cleveland Division, held meetings in Columbus, Ohio. The membership of 165 was increased to 266. Stock was sold, loans taken out, and the entire Division strengthened and placed on a firm basis. The doctor had a great deal of opposition to overcome, caused, no doubt, by the imperfect expounding of the purposes and the methods of the organization. The doctor's visit was opportune, bringing order out of chaos. Quoting from the Ohio State Monitor, Dr. Riley said, "If you become a member of this organization and become baptized with the spirit" of its leader, Hon. Marous Garvey, you will think, act and become as we are; for we all think, act and do the same. We are in keeping with the spirit of the times. That is, we are promoting race solidarity. We are putting the scattered forces and ambitions of the Negro in one channel. We are compelling the other races to recognize us as a race unit, and not that hand-plucked-hat-in-hand-me-to-boss, Negro speaks and acts for us all. "Review the records of the Black Star Line, Negro Factories Corporation and all our businesses that are in harmony with the II, N, I, A, and you will not only see Negro businesses their money, but Negro businesses receiving the money spent, and new fresh stock of supplies on the shelf for them to select from. "It is reported to me that the Negroes in this town have made up the bulk of Negro businesses catering to their needs. Negro businesses cater to the needs of African Americans well in younger adulthood like African American women, young African American men."

If you have pride, if you feel that by co-operation we can make conditions better, if you believe that the black boy or black girl is the equal of other boys and girls of other races, then prove it now by co-operating to demonstrate our manhood and womanhood, not by talking, but by doing things. The general objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, are: To establish a universal confraternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love; to administer to and assist the needy; to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to strengthen the nationalism of independent Negro States in Africa; to establish commissionaries or agencies in the principal countries of the world for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to establish universities, colleges and schools for the racial education and culture of our young man and woman; to conduct a worldwide commercial and industrial intercourse for the benefit of the race; to work for better conditions among our people; to promote industries and commerce for the betterment of Negroes. If these objects do not appeal to you, then you are dead to all sorts of race pride and race prejudice. petty differences and make him do business on the square. If Magnus will stop and consider that we must support one another, regardless of differences, our industrial and commercial disadvantages will be removed. DR. RILEY ADDRESSES CLEVELAND U. N. L.A. Returning to Cleveland Sunday, Feb. 13th, Dr. Riley was the principal speaker at the regular Sunday afternoon meeting of Division 59, held in Spira's Hall. The chair opened the meeting by singing the "National Anthem of Ethiopia" led by Mrs. Gertrude Davia, the Lady President of the Division. The anthem was followed by the Marcus Garvey song, which created a storm of applause, arousing the enthusiasm of the monster audience to fever pitch. President Williams' address followed the reading of papers by several members. In very befitting remarks the President presented our inspired representative from the parent body, Dr. George B. Riley. Dr. Riley said in part, that he appreciated the large audiences which always greeted him, and the work of the old members in bringing forward new members to the organisation. His subject was, "Fear not, ye little ones, God will give you the kingdom." From these inspired words, the Doctor gave to the receptive minds of his audience much needed food for thought. He observed that there were many people who did not believe in an earthly kingdom for the Negro. The time has come, he said, when an earthly kingdom must be the Negro's reward. This can only be accomplished through the concentrated efforts of all in putting our combined resources together for the common good of the race. He depicted the picture of Africa crying to team work and no team work has in the past been done. He continued, "We cannot do this unless we organise. Much propaganda is spread derogative to the Negro. The time has come for us to wake up and pay attention to the things which are of such vital interests to the race. "I was always opposed to the doctrine of Dr. Booker T. Washington. It fitted well for that time, but now we have no time to fool with it. A better man has come to the front, the Hon. Marcus Garvey! (Long and continued applause.) Give me Marcus Garvey or give me death! (Cheers.) God took Washington at the close of his day and time. God works after a system. He, called him, home before the war. Washington made convenient THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1921 speeches to suit different parts of the country. God wants held, valiant soldiers. He sent us a leader who is not afraid to speak the same doctrine in all parts of the world: (Chewens). God sent us Marquis Garvey to show the Negro that he is a man made after His own image and likeness, and as such he is entitled to seek and find his place in the sun. (Applause.) "Now, in this period of reconstruction, every heart is pining for liberty. We as a people can do no less than seek for what has been denied us and what is rightly ours. "In closing, one last thought I want to leave with you: We are not preaching race dissentation, but race consciousness. We can talk and criticise people and their ways, but we do not say anything against the government. We have traitors among us who have accused us of preaching sedition and racial dissemination. Think more and talk less. Keep the expression of our "button"—the Red, Black and the Green—in your hearts. We are not cowards. At all times we should use common sense. Be not dimyssed whatever betide, God will give us the victory. "The events of the present time are the result of the prayers of our parents." An outline of the work done in Springfield, Akron and Oberlin will be given in the next issue of this paper. LAVINIA D. SMITH, Reporter. THE U. N. I. A. IN SYDNEY, CANADA.

Just the thing we wanted! God bless Brother Lindsey and his co-workers!" Such and similar phrases were not infrequently heard around the city for the past few days. It would appear as if the general public had caught the spirit of enthusiasm and joy which animated and swayed the audience at the hall of "The Panama Capital Friendly Society" on Sunday night, the 20th inst., when the first mass meeting of the new branch of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. founded by Mr. V. L. A. Lindsey was staged. At 7:45 p. m. Mr. Charles Alvarza ascended the rostrum and called the meeting to order. The meeting was then declared open by the singing of the African national anthem, "From Greenland's Ioy Mountain." We want to invite your attention to the Negro Factories Corporation. Perhaps you have already heard of it. You know, of course, that this concern has for its objects The building, owning and operating factories all over the United States, the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa in the interest of Negroes, for Negroes, to be run wholly by Negroes. This program will insure employment for hundreds of columbian men and women in every capacity, executive, clerical and otherwise. It will have the effect of laying up treasures for ourselves and at the same time laying a firm economic foundation. There are numerous other benefits accruing to the Negro race. Have you the vision? Can you see the possibilities for the race under this program? Of course you can. Already we have established a steam and a hand laundry and a millinery store. These, of course, are only small beginnings, but then open up the vista of real constructive work for the benefits of the race. If you want to help your race and yourself use the coupon below and subscribe for as many shares as you are able at $5.00 each. You may buy from one to two hundred shares. Trusting that you will avail yourself of this opportunity to own yourself, your race and posterity, we are, Very truly yours. when the chairman attained a holy invocation to Almighty God for divine help and instruction in the great work being undertaken. Then followed the reading of certain sections of the constitution of the U. N. L. A., respecting the aims and objects of the said association. After briefly informing the audience that the reason for the existence of this new branch was not in a selfish nor antagonistic nature but in a purely helpful and uplifting character, the chairman introduced Mr. J. Seymour, organizer of the auxiliary branch at Colon, and a few of his associates. Mr. Seymour—a hero of the hour—a magnetic speaker—a fearless and courageous leader—was fairly successful in holding the audience spellbound for nearly half an hour by his forceful and insistent appeal for loyal support of the movement. No less encouraging were his assistants, especially Mr. Collymore, who spoke at length on the necessity for honor and respect for the women of our race. Bister Blenman, president of the Colon ladies' division and Black Cross nurses, also fervently exhorted the audience to adhere to the principles of love and sacrifice, and concluded her brilliant speech by a sisterly admonition to Brother Linday to stand firm for the right. Other illustrious speakers greeted the occasion, among whom were Blister Taylor from Bocas del Toro and Mr. A. C. Bishop of former Red Cross fame, who, in his usual style of beautiful metaphoric language, presented to the imaginations of his hearers a panoramic view of the past, present and Dear Sir or Madam: We want to invi ation. Perhaps you ha that this concern has future of the North side. No less untruthing than the previous themes was the redefinition of a beau- ful dialogue by the Missed Nile, "Fil- titled "Milk and Jama," which brought fear to a colossus applause and attested a unanimous endorse. Superior as the former, store, had been, yet they did not collect the brilliant sequence of the sale and deliberate creator, Mr. Sweetland Lawrence who said he was so glad of the opportunity to speak on so worthy a cause as the U. N. L. A. In a beautiful style of pictureque imagery he masterly portrayed the scene of Africa redeemed, and in most transient language did he capture the mobility of the Negro race, acting as illustrations celebrities of antiquity like the wise King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, from whom descended the line of Abyssinian kings. In a most fluent manner did this local Garvey appeal to the people of the U. N. L. A. for racial independence, and to live up to the principles of racial pride, racial aspirations and racial respect. And finally he rounded up his splendid creation by a fine visualization of Ethiopia and the angles in ecstatic rapture over the consummation of Africa redeemed. As a result of this meeting nearly 100 members have enrolled. The chairman then thanked the various speakers and also the audience for the interest manifested. The old orthodox strain of theology then brought the meeting to a close, when everybody unheard out of the hall and wended their way to their homes with an everlasting smile upon their faces.

AND A. C. L. FORMED AT PORT PASTELULO Under the burning rage of a tropical son, the energetic workman, Dr. M. P. Badway and Prof. Dave Davieson walked for over two miles on the railroad to organize a branch of the U. N. L. A. on the 16th and 14th inst., respectively. Through the courtesy of a Chinaman, a spacious hall was obtained in this important point, where a thousand or more of the brawny sons of Ham are seen working daily on the expiration of thousands of bags of sugar. The arranged meeting was called to order, and after the singing of the African ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," with many voices, the prayer of the constitution was recited by Dr. S. P. Radway, whose voice sounded consistently through the hall so that every word was distinctly heard. Mr. Davidron then read the first four articles of the constitution and outlined in very proper spirit the aims and objects of this grand movement, which was listened to with rapt attention. The song, "The Black Star Lens," composed by the doctor, was then sung, when Mr. Davidron invited all who wished to join themselves with the U. N. L. A. to enroll, to which appeal thirty healthy looking men responded, gift of which were chosen a president and secretary, Mr. William Kidney, president, and Mr. J. Praser, secretary, Mr. Cooper, who was formerly appointed president, declined to serve saying he had no real time at his disposal to do any work at present. Dr. Radway was then introduced by Professor Davidron, who took for his argument, "They call us to deliver our lands from errors—chain." It would take the heart of a silicone rack to stand the live points the doctor brought forward bearing on what we were, what we are and what we shall be. He spoke for nearly one hour and a quarter. At the close of this brilliant address the officers were told their duties and were admonished to keep win one another as heat that can and to make monthly reports to the parent body. New York.

GARVEY, COMERCIO Y LOS NEGROS Tanto se ha dicho y ya delmvulento de Carvey y les Negros que parca necesario, param preservacion mileno, que debemos dar algunas visitas más clases de este mvuliento de politico-economico. El mundo sabemos esta compuesta de las clases 'de nacionales organizado alto y al desventorado' en mono. Por organizado: alte se entiende aquiles naciones que han ligados en medias plena del políto y manifestación industrial y par la mono desventorado pertenecen a que tienen tierra rica en recursa natural que no han legadoes arte manifestación industrial que permitirá suceso executable de sus requerencias material. Cuando un nacimiento bien arguinado llega a un gran proporción político e industrial, la condición natural es buscar campo nuevo para en ejercira excavadora al ajuntada con su organización las tierras de los que son deocigues menores lámparadas "volumina", "protectores" "sufra de influencia" eta. La cuestión que si este proceso es "blan" abende en la question de que constitue "tusua" así un estudio corto de la vigor que produce fuerza de un punto nacional, no sería malo. Lo más grande de este "producidor de madera" el Estado que es una organización para al perseguimiento de los puntos económicos. Oficios del gobierno y sus ministerios con los utilidades de ese perseguimiento, y comercio del interés político es el vas grande. Antes del año 1780 la vida de un individuo estaba was o menos lento, indisciplinado, carecido económico, pero erá las ultimas epocas lo ha sido industrios bastante, y lleno de comercio, hasta hoy no hay cual una parte de vida industria que no sujeta a la influencia del Estado, censura o medición. 1781 la reason esta tan junto con fue, y el Estado es el mayor fuerza de produciro, si que tenemos, los Negros, saber de todo esto? No ca que tenemos de desvolver un estado nuestro, perficiar un organización con nuestro perseguir algo comino que se asqueara a nuestro beneficio como una rasa? Cualquiera otra moda de vida, aquí u cualquiera parie, fuera de un estado nuestro? esta la vida aplicada a los enteres de los que gobiernan casado? Mobierra el Negro un estado suy? No? ¡Pues al beneficio de quen trabaja y vive al no es para nos que gobernan el estado donde vive el! La historia hay casos bastantes tratados de estados organizados, atacados y gobernados actualmente, con motivos económicos, las gentes descogidos menes y asto ha hecho no solamente según el precepto de obligation pero para criar al progreso de comercio de la patria que merece contrategistro y con motivo de hallar una salida a sus fabricantes y para energias sobrantes. Y este condicion ha criado otras condiciones an que encontramos gobernadores que no son ni gobernadores ni libre: un males de "protectorias", "esferas dofas de influencia, etc., todos de que son emphastes políticos, para ocuilar los pederosos, estados bien organizados en sus usurpaciones sobre los fragiles. Ce u la tierra de nuestros padres, la tierra que ofrecio habilación a la infante Jesu cuando Heroda paroagula su vida, estados bien organizados, con motivos económicos estan explorarse, tanto que en 1914 Francia tela *adquirir* $420,000 millones cuadradas.
