MARCU THEATRE Multitude of People Listen to H Night at Monster Mass Mea Jamaica Division of the U. maica's Leading Paper, Giv vey's Wonderful Address—T in His Home. A monster mass meeting was held in the Ward' Theatre on Wednesday night under the aunts of the Jamaica Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League at which Mr. Marcus Garvey, president general of the association, was the speaker. The building was packed from pit to dome with an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Garvey was cheered to an echo as he stepped on the platform. He delivered an creation, tasting over one hour, dealing with the aims and objects of the association. His striking eloquence riveted the attention of his hearers. The vast multitude caught his enthusiasm, and as he spoke 'the ceiling echoed and re-echoed with the thunder of their applause. Towards the end of his speech, Mr. Garvey applied the well known prank of the platform speaker. I think I have kept you long enough for tonight,' he said, and the crowd roared for him to continue. The meeting opened with the hymn, 'From Greenland's Ice Mountains' after which a beautiful program of musical and vocal entertainment was presented by the U. N. L. J. choral and a special orchestra. The performers who took part were Mozza, George McGormack, Grantille Campbell, R. B. Evans, Prof. C. L. Barnes, Mrs. McGormack and Mitsa Brown. The audience showed how well they enjoyed the program by their flattering careers and repeated accolades. Mr. A. Bain Alves first addressed the gathering. He began by quoting Shakespeare's famous lines: "To thine ownself be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. He paid a warm girl gifted tribute to Mr. Garvey, whom he styled "the Illustrated Jamaican" the great Negro Emancipator." They could not look upon Mr. Garvey, he said, as an ordinary man they must look upon him as a superman. Mr. Garvey was called by God to the great task of lifting his race, and this he was a helping. They must support him and help the movement to success. Marcus Garvey Speaks. Mr. Sarve) then spoke. He said it was judged a great pleasure to find himself there that night. He had come from the United States of America on a tour of the West Indies and Central America for the purpose of speaking to them in the interest of the great movement he represented. (Cheers.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association was a world movement of Negroes. They were endeavoring through this association to draw into one united whole the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world for the purpose of establishing on the continent of Africa a domination of Negroes. (Cheers.) They believed the time had come in the history of the Negro people of the world like in the history of the white race and the yellow race, for the Negro to pave a way and to blast a way to Negro independence. (Applause.) The U. N. I. A. believed if it was right for the white man to dominate in Europe, and the yellow man to dominate in Asia, it was right for the black man to dominate in Africa. Nations had sprung up out of Europe and and the time had come for patrons to spring up out of Africa. The U. N. I. A. had no apology to make nations or races, the one desire was to blast a way for Dear Readers—You a regularly each week and put it regularly each week United States you have got circulation in proportion to where in the United States vantage of this offer which and $2.70 if in a foreign up this offer.

Three hundred years ago 40,000,000 Negroes were taken from Africa as slaves to the Western Hemisphere, and the time had come for the BY NAHUL DANIEL BRASCHER Editor-in-Chief of the Associated News Press. Good-morning, children! This story is written especially for you. Big folks may read it if they wish, but I hope you will. I am going to tell you about a King who is President. That sounds quer, doesn't it? Well, here is the answer: The name of the President is C. D. B. King. He is President of the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, and he is now visiting in this country and is in Washington. The other day I had the house of being rescued by this columbian who the way is, a colored man. What do you think of that—a colored man President? It was because of the deep impression that this President made on me that I wish to tell you something about him. Perhaps it will help you to grow into the ways of everyday life. I cannot take time to tell you about Liberia, but you can get a great deal of information about that country from books. Even the daily newspapers now and then speak of it, and so do our newspapers. Here in Washington he and the other members of his commission are living in a beautiful residence at 1817 R street, N.W. It is a four-story building and very stately in appearance. They have been in America only a few weeks and are here to enlist the sympathy of our government and you in the people of their country. You should hear President King tell of the fine boys and girls in his country. At the entrance of the President's residence you are met by a very courteous and dignified native Liberian in full dress. You present your card and he ushers you into a beautiful parlor. There you await your turn to see the President. In due time you are invited to another very, very pretty room on the second floor. How I wish you could see this room. About it is arranged pretty white care furniture that makes you think of the summer sun of Africa right away. But what caught my eye were the pretty furnishings that adorn the wall, made by the people of Liberia. On the mantle there hang two flags, one red, white and blue, like ours, only it has but one star in the blue field; and the other our flag. You sit there wondering how you are going to act when the President comes in. You, of course, know that the first things to do is to stand up. But you wonder whether he is going to be stiff and "stuck up," as we sometimes say, so that you will feel nervous and be sorry that you come to see him. Well, let me tell you, when he comes in and is presented, you are so surprised at his essay, kind, friendly manner that you are "taken off your feet." And then, when you get your breath, you say to yourself, "And this is a real, live President!" He is so kindly and becomes A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1821 SUPPOSED INFERIORITY OF DARKER RACES PROVED BASELESS Dr. Frank Boas, Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, Says That the White and Colored Races Do Not Differ Fundamentally, in New York Address. Negro to use his civilization for Christ-ization to redeem the motherland. (Cheera.) The world in which they lived was reorganizing itself. The world had just passed through a bloody war, fought on the sacred principle of democracy. Two million black men with white men fought for the cause, held the Germans at bay and threw them across the Rhine. But for the assistance of the Negro in the war a different tale would have been told (Continued on page 2.) RESIDENT—PEN OF LIBERIA'S RULER dressed. He talks to you in the easiest, most cordial manner, using the very choicest English. To tell you the truth, just between us, I have met lots of people right here in our country who were not president of even a literary club who put on ten times as much air as President King. And, do you know, he could be all "puffed up" if he wanted to be that way. He is a native of Africa, the most resourceful country on earth. There are more diamonds, gold, mahogany, ivory, ecotinia, ostrichs and many things like that in Africa, there in any other country. Then, he lives in a country where any lay may grow up to be President. Then, again, he has been honored by other presidents, kings and queens in such countries as ours, England, France, Spain, Belgium and Switzerland. Don't you think that very fine? But, with all this, President King of Liberia is very kind, friendly and courteous. It seems to me that this is something that we should all remember. It will help us to be worth while, not only to those about us, but even to the boys and girls in Liberia and other parts of Africa and other parts of the world. This is one of the big lessons I got from visiting President King, and I simply could not resist telling the boys and girls—our boys and girls—of the United States about it.

At a meeting held at the People's Educational Forum, Lafayette Building, 168 West 181st street, on Sunday, April 2, 1921, Dr. Frank Boas lectured to an enthusiastic audience on the subject: "Supposed Inferiority of Darker Races." Mr. Randolph Owen, editor of the "Messenger," a radical periodical, introduced Dr. Boas as a distinguished Anthropologist, an able educator, and a man whose expression of opinion on racial questions is valuable because of its impartiality.

Gordon, assistant president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is on a special mission to California. He is sent by the parent body of the U. N. L. A. for the purpose of interesting the people of the Far West in the mammoth undertaking of launching the B. S.

CAMPAIGN FOR THE STUDY OF NEGRO LITERATURE AND HISTORY TO BE HELD The Omega Pet Phil College Fraternity plans to conduct throughout the country, during the week of April 24-30, "a campaign for the Study of Negro Literature and History." The purpose of the campaign is to arouse and deepen an interest in literature of Negro authorship and encourage a closer study of the history of the Negro. The fraternity plans to work not only through its fifteen chapters, but through the leading colleges, high school, Christian associations, literary organizations, and churches throughout the country. These organizations are being collated that there might be brought home to all of the race the very great importance of a closer study of its own literature and history. These organizations are being asked to lay special emphasis on this matter during the week of the campaign, and to join headily in such plans as may be suggested to them by those taking the initiative in the movement. It is confidently hoped that co-operation will be found on every hand for making this movement the great success it deserves. Mr. Wm. B.

This particular thought was illustrated when he spoke of how the people in different parts of the world do not conform en- tirely to the ideas of them, and he gave as an example the difference of structure, based on his own expe- nence, which he found among the Swedes and the Italians.

GEORGIA PLANTER GUILTY OF MURDER Sentenced to Life Imprisonment Eighteen Hours—Counsel on Prejudices in Covington, Ga., April 3—The trial of John S. Williams, (white), Georgia plantation owner, charged with the murder of eleven Negroes to cover up poonage conditions on his plantation came to an end here when after eighteen hours deliberation, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty and recommended motive. The case reached the jury's hands at 4:51 o'clock yesterday afternoon after the Judge had instructed it as to its duty The charge of Judge Hutcheson was brief. The burden of proving every material allegation in the indictment charging Williams with the killing rested on the State, the judge stated. The jury was the sole judge of the credibility of all witnesses, he told them, and could lend to the defendant's unaworn statement any weight it can fit. It was also solo judges as to the State's corroboration of the testimony given by the accomplice Manning and also as to whether Manning was an accomplice or had acted under coercion. If after deliberation they believed Williams guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, they would by their verdict so find him, in which case the penalty would be death. They could, however, attach to a verdict of guilt, the recommendation that he be confined in a penitentiary for life. With utmost clarity of analysis and in language at once published, pungent and simple "Colonial" Howard built up the final structure of the State's case. A contagion of dreadful death, he said, had in late February and early March overrun the lands of John E. Williams and his sons. All these who caught it had come to the farm from one place, fall, and only those who had so come had caught it thrown of them in all.

"Our Plan." Having by this bond linked the violent death of Linda Peterson, Negro with the violent deaths of ten other Negroes inside two weeks on or near the Williams place, he abrasion them to the set plan and purposely of Williams, for which he had developed the motive. That motive was that of those Negroes because of evidence which they might give, the Federal Courts to the destruction and liberty for himself and his sons. That tear had been put to help by a recent visit of Federal agents who informed him he was visiting the Poncean State by making these "stockade Negroes" work to help him with their labor. And this fear, Mr. Howard asserted, had been sharpened and made compelled by certain inquiries of the Federal agents concerning death of three Negroes on the plantation during the preceding year. So Williams had the eleven slaves Negroes and helped to kill them all, Limbray Peterson included, Mr. Howard said. Following Mr. Howard, Anthony Johnson consumed two hours in his final lay for the defense.

On the thirty-fifth day of his speaking days were so great that special guards were stationed pocket books of the U. N. L. A. members, instead of criticizing Garvey and his work Deniyi would be proclaiming His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey as the warmest baby and the hottest tomali that came down the African turnpike. Negro World So if Deniyi is a real African prince, he had better write to his African friends and relatives, who are millionaires "Send me one thousand pounds annually because these grandsons and granddaughters of white folks' slaves in America will not regard me as a real prince as long as I travel as a begging preacher and lecturer." A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT. THERE are forces still at work in America to keep the Negro in certain social and political grooves beyond which he must not seek to venture into the paths trodden by the white man. It is becoming more and more apparent to the observant Negro that a certain element in the white race is diametrically opposed to a Negro holding any position of authority, or command, under government, in departments where the majority of employees are white. The recent action of the sally female employees of the Register's Office at Washington in protesting against the appointment of a Negro to be head of that office shows us what is back of the minds of the white politicians who inspired and engineered this protest against a Negro appointee for this office. The protest and appeal will not be without influence in the quarters into which they have been sent, and we may now look for compromises and explanations of a change of administrative policy—if this administration should go into the compromising business on the subject of Negro appointments. Of course the protestants say that their action is not the result of race prejudice that it is not inspired by Southern whites, etc. We who know better know that this is all "bunk" and that it is a case of "my lady doth protest too much"—and this is usually good evidence of the guilt of the protestants. The Negro is too well acquainted with the habits of this element of the white race in these circumstances to be deceived by the avowals of these "good ladies" that there is no racial prejudice in their effort to defeat the purpose of the administration to give a Negro this appointment. We shall watch developments in this case. We do not like its aspect. Correspondents are requested to write on one side of the paper and sign all communications even if a nom-de-plume is used for publication.

THE CHICAGO WHIP AND THE BLACK STAR LINE. THE Chicago Whip started out under the editorship of Mr. Linton and Mr. Bibbs two years ago to be a real newspaper But it seems to have fallen somewhat from its high estate and to be in desperate straits to get readers to buy the paper. We are now facing conditions, not theories, in the political evolution of the Negro in this country. We are face to face with the hard, cold proposition born of over-confidence and blind faith in the bona fides of the Republican party, of which we have hitherto believed ourselves to be an important and necessary factor. The period of disillusionment has set in, and we shall soon know "where we are at" as members of that political organization. If the administration yields to the protest of a group of white women against the appointment of a Negro to be Register of the Treasury, we will have gotten its measure and found out its true attitude toward an element of the electorate which labored assiduously to help to bring it into being. Let us wait and see what further is in the cards. Marcus Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line are in the limelight now and anything said about them attracts attention. When newspapers find their sales falling off they can always revive interest and increase circulation by featuring Garvey, the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line. So when we find the Chicago Whip printing lies in glaring headlines about the Black Star Line we surmise it is merely trying to whip up circulation. The Chicago Whip stated in big glaring headlines, "Black Star Liner Kanawa Wrecked," in the April 9 issue. The subheads ran as follows: "S. S. Kanawa Smashes Pier at Old Point—Marcus Garvey's Freight Liner Between Hampton Roads and Cuba in Smashup." The Whip then stated that the Black Star liner crashed into the government pier at Old Point Comfort. Thursday night, that the entire stern of the ship was stove in, leaving a gaping hole into which the water rushed immediately, that the pumps were quickly manned and both ship and pier were damaged to the extent of about $2,000. Until we know the answer which the administration will make to the inspired protest of the women clerks in the office of the Register of the Treasury against the appointment of a Negro to that office, would it not be well for the Negro press and writers for the press to maintain a discreet silence? We think so. President Harding has a unique opportunity, and that is to prove whether the ideals of democracy, justice, humanity and civilization, which ex-President Woodrow Wilson waxed so eloquently about, are capable of realization and embodiment on this planet. Readers can't understand how a boat could be wrecked when the damages to the boat and pier did not exceed $2,000. The editor of the Chicago Whip evidently underrates the intelligence of his readers and thinks they are a pack of fools and numbskulls. Perhaps that is the reason why the paper has to descend to yellow journalism and manufacture lies out of whole cloth to boom and boost its circulation. THE AMERICAN DILEMMA. THE perplexity about the colored brother in America and especially in the Southern States is that he is neither regarded as a man nor a monkey. He is regarded as somewhat higher in the scale or creation than the monkey and somewhat lower than the white man. But this is what we do not understand. They don't have to enact disfranchisement and jim crow laws to keep monkeys and apes in their places. Does it not seem that the Negro is so near man that if given the same educational, economic and political opportunities and advantages that other men possess, he would endanger the boasted white supremacy? If the Negro is so dull, stupid, lazy, worthless and good for nothing, why worry about him and pass all kinds of laws and formulate all kinds of restrictions to keep him down? In a race, men don't handicap a man afflicted with gout, rheumatism or paralysis Dread lest the supposed ape will develop into a real man is what disturbs the peace of mind of the Bourbons of the South. They are really trying to defy the Creator and undo His work. God made the Negro a man. They are trying to unmake him and metamorphose him into something less than a man. But it is best not to interfere with the plans of the Almighty. What are the facts, the Kanawa put into Jacksonville, Fla., for minor repairs which did not exceed $100, and then resumed her trip to Cuba. She is now plying between the ports of the Caribbean Sea. Does that look like a wreck? But perhaps the erudite editor of the Whip has evolved into a lexicographer and contemplates supplanting Webster's, Worcester, the Standard and Century dictionaries with a dictionary of his own, assigning new meanings and values to words. If that be the case he should so inform his-readers. "PRINCE"? MADARIKAN DENIYL PRINCE"? Madarikan Deniyi in another attack on Hon. Marcus Garvey in the Richmond Planet, stated that he, Deniyi, is a real prince because he is a grandson of Balogun Ijenlo, chief of Yoruba tribe at Abeohuta, Nigeria, West Africa. He also refers to Hon. Marcus Garvey and Bruce Grit as grandsons of white folks' slaves. THE COMING INAUGURATION OF DR. EASON. IT has been announced that Rev. J. W. H. Eason, who was elected American leader by the U N. I. A. convention which convened in Liberty Hall, New York, last August, would be inaugurated in Washington, D. C., with appropriate ceremonies and would set up what the press termed the "Black House" on April 25, 1921. When the Prince of Wales and Prince George of Prussia came here they traveled in state; they didn't go around preaching in churches and appealing for collections like "Prince"? Deniyi did. "Prince"? Deniyi claims that he is a near relative of an African prince who is worth four or five millions and the personal friend of a widow, an African lady, who is worth over five million dollars. Now if Deniyi is a real prince and if his African friends and relatives are so immensely rich, why doesn't he call upon them to put up three or four thousand dollars annually so that he can travel and live in America like a real prince instead of a mendicant preacher? "Prince?" states that he has supernatural power in Africa to help or injure the Black Star Line. If that be the case, why don't he use some of his supernatural power to enable him to get enough money out of Africa to travel with the dignity of his position as prince? Owing to the absence of His Excellency the Hon Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. I. A. and Provisional President of Africa, on his lecture tour in Cuba, Jamaica and Panama, the inauguration will be postponed until he returns to New York City. Mr. Garvey will return in a fortnight, and then the date for the inauguration of the American leader will be announced. We make this announcement so that the friends and readers who contemplate attending the inauguration ceremonies can govern themselves accordingly. CINCINNATI AND AMBLER If the august West African prince regards the American and West Indian Negroes as the descendants of slaves, why did he descend to come down from his African heaven to beg money and solicit alms from slaves? Princes do not usually beg from peasants. HIS EXCELLENCY J. W. H. EASON, assisted by Rev Dr Grandison, has just closed a remarkable campaign for the U. N. I. A. in Cineinnati, Ohio. Twelve hundred new members have joined the division. On the thirty-fifth day of his speaking there the crowds were so great that special guards were stationed at the church doors to keep back the overflow crowds. We have heard the African Prince speak and ask for a collection in Liberty Hall, N. Y. He didn't assume the lofty air of a prince addressing his inferiors then. On the contrary, he was smiling in constance, Gattering in manner and oily and unctional in his words. Like what are termed jack-leg preachers, Deniyl was enlisting to flatter, win over and ingratiate himself with his audience and put them in a good humor and prey on their sympathy so that he could get a good collection. When he was milking the J.N. I. A organizations for money, Deniyl was praising Marcus Harvey and what his now terms the descendants of American and Ware Indian slaves so the utmost. The U. N. I. A. of Ambler, Pa., will unfurl its charter in the K. and M. Hall on Thursday, April 21. Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, editor of the Negro World, will be the speaker for the occasion. Some of Philadelphia's most noted vocal talent and Prof. Brown's syncopated orchestra will render the music. Scores of U. N. I. A. members from Philadelphia are coming to Ambler to make a grand demonstration. TWENTIETH CENTURY SLAVERY. THE full extent to which peonage exists throughout most of the Southern United States was not revealed by the trial of John S. Williams, the modern slave holder, for brutally murdering eleven Negroes on and near his plantation to cover up his guilt as developed during his trial. The surface has only been scratched. That Williams was convicted upon the evidence adduced against him will go to the everlasting credit of the Georgia court. But Georgia must not stop there; the ends of justice will not have been served, until Williams is made to pay the full penalty by actually serving the sentence of the court, and Georgia must enforce this penalty before she can exculpate herself. He didn't get on the high horse and assume any airs then. There was not the alightest suggestion in voice, word or manner that he considered the audience that he was tapping for money immediately beneath him socially. But now, when he can't pump any money out of Galvy and his followers, he gets on his knees and stretches himself to his full height and says, "Why am I so proud while you are grandads of white folks slaves?"

E. CHURCH COMMENDS NEGRO WORLD ARTICLE ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER April 5, 1921. Mr William H Ferris, Literary Edition The Negro World 56 West 135th Street, New York City My Dear Mr Ferris I have read with much pleasure your article, "The Significance of Easter The Immortality of Ideas" in The Negro World, issue of April 2. Its arrival, inclosed with clipping of my contribution, was a pleasant surprise which has made me feel all the more cordial toward The Negro World. It was a personal touch out of the dark an to speak and yet from an organ which had always extended me the utmost of courtesy. The article is the kind which ought to appear more often in the columns of our daily press for all races. It was somehow individual, distinct from the perfunctory Easter editorial found in most newspapers each year. You have injected into a broad view of history, a philosophy with conclusions which are the essence of all religions of Christendom. Permit me to congratulate you upon the high quality of it. You know personally I am expecting great things of the Negro press. While it is true some papers are tending toward the senational and the antagonistic in the race problems continually arising—a policy which, if widespread, would bode much evil and no good—the majority of Negro newspapers are edited by sane and sensible men. In their hands the thought of your race cannot be misguided. Thank you again for your courtesies to me and my organization. With best wishes I am Sincerely yours. Press Representative. Centenary Conservation Committee of the M E. Church. THE NEGRO AS A DRAMATIC ARTIST THE NEGRO AS A DRAMATIC ARTIST Prof Will am H. Ferris, Literary Editor of The Negro World, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. Dear Sir. Please allow me space in your most valuable paper to express my view of "The Emperor Jones." The most difficult thing to write is a successful problem play starring the colored actor in the title role. Why? Because only a short while ago has the white audience begun to tolerate him in dramatics. We do not always instantly attain a great height by a single leap, but usually by gradual process. While every self-respecting Negro does strongly resent such offensive terms as "nigger" and "monkey chaser," still we must be also fair and broad enough to concipde whatever praise is due the play. I should like to see Gifpin as Othello, or star in any other Shakespeare play on Broadway soon, and no doubt he will when the field presents itself. Where is the budding genius who will give us the problem play of the hour, which will please the race immediately uplift us, and whose pay psychology will sweep the white audience off their feet with compelling audacity? Who knows but that we haven't here now within our midst? Go and see Charles Gilpin at the Princess. He has attained one height of our dreams which was not traversable a few years ago. He will go higher. This play may not end to suit you, and Mr Gilpin does not kill his white rival although he threatens him within an inch of his life. Perhaps if he did the play would not have reached Broadway, which would consequently entail a loss. Still if you can write a better play than "The Emperor Jones" and hang it over successfully on a white and colored audience then go to it, and we shall not fail to crown you an one of the immortals. Yours truly. MATTHEW BENNETT 151 West 100th Street New York City ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS AND THE U. N. L. A. Dear Editor: Please permit me space in your valuable paper. No doubt some of you heard or read the speech of Colonel Simmons in Braddock, Pa., and in St. Louis. March 14, subject, "Under Which Flag." We will admit that Colonel Simmons is a noted orator, but the time for flowery speeches has passed, and we, the Negro peoples of the world, four hundred million strong (that is the majority of us), are bringing things to pass by linking up with the greatest movement ever known, The Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by Marcus Garvey. We have been listening to Colonel Simmons and others too long, and over five million of us right here in these United States have fully decided to follow you no longer. We are following Marcus Garvey. Colonel Simmons said, in his speech in Pennsylvania, "No Africa for us. Who is this proposing to lead me from my country? Who is this that seeks to lead the American Negro from his home?" I will answer your question: No one is trying to lead you from your country. We are trying to lead you to your country. Africa is your home; your forefathers were brought here as slaves and that is why you are here. Dig deeper into the bowels of the earth; press more closely to the American white man, etc., is your motto, but we are tired of that stuff. You have forgotten the failure of the Roosevelt "Square Deal," "All Men Up," etc., the promise of Taft for better things. Wilson with these slogans, "The New Freedom" and "Making the World Safe for Democracy," etc. We shall no longer wait on the white man. The new Negroes are wide awake and are doing for themselves. The U. N. I. A. are not asking that all the eighteen millions of Negroes in America leave these United States and go to Africa, but we are going to make it fit for those that want to go. And you and your followers can rest assured that many of us are going, and those that we leave here will have a government, a flag and a country behind them just as good as any GERALDINE F. SMITH. Chicago MISS MARIANNA JOHNSON, SOLO IST IN THE RENDERING OF HANDEL'S "MESSIAH." Miss Marianna Johnson. 145 W. 142d St. New York City Dear Miss Johnson: I am in receipt of your communication accepting the work of contralto solist in the rendition of the "Messiah," by The People's Choral Society, of Philadelphia, on the 28th of April. In reply would say we thank you and are sure you will do your part to make the work a success. In consulting our leader about how much or rather how many solos you will sing, he said all of them. They begin with "Behold a Virgin Shall Conceive." "O Thou that Tellest Good Tidings to Zion." Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind Be Opened." He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd." "He Has Deplied and Rejected." Quarter—"Since by Man Came Death." Quartette—"For as in Adam All Die" Duet—"O Death, Where Is This" Sting—"Also the recitation just before this, 'Then Shall Be Brought to Pass'." AN OPEN LETTER To Hon. Warren G. Harding, President of U. S. A. Honored Bir: Perhaps you ignore that the 80,000,000 people of the Negro, Indian and Latin races who live south of the Rio Grande learned with the greatest pleasure of your election as President of the greatest white democracy on the face of the earth. These 80,000,000 souls present you their warmest congratulation on the occasion of your nomination to the first magistrate of the United States. We all believe that through your good sentiments, activity and intelligence you will be able to mand certain wrongs, correct many errors made by the wordless administration of Woodrow Wilson which administration proved so disastrous to Latin America and so oppressive to the Negro population of the American Union. You are quite aware of the forceful and unnecessary intervention of U. B Marines in Haiyt and Santo Domingo and of the unspeakable atrocities perpetrated on defenseless and innocent men, women and children. This unqualified intervention has already caused overlasting resentment, mistrust and hate against the government and people of United States on the part of the 86,000,000 of Negroes and Latines in Mexico, Central and South America and in the West Indies. The American or rather Yankee prestige, has been eternally hurt, the Stars and Stripes are looked down upon by the twenty watching republics of this continent. It would be right, Honored Sir, that among your first acts of administration you relinquish your hold from the two Negro republics of the Caribbean Sea and devolve to Haiti and Santo Domingo their liberty, freedom and independence which have been robbed from them, and so allow the island to enjoy its share of self-determination and democracy. It would also be wise that a law be enacted prohibiting Uncle Sam from meddling in the internal affairs of the weaker nations of this continent where, moreover, Uncle Sam has recently been despaired and scorned. We hope fervently that disfranchisement, lychings and burnings at slakes of colored folks, in "the land of the free," be immediately abolished, for it is a blot on civilization and a stain on this beautiful earth; the world at large is daily criticising the barbarities which are persecuted on the poor American Negro in his own native land. We must add right here that in Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands it is believed that Yankeeeland is far from being civilized. "Pan-Americanism" is another void word, has never existed, and can never exist between the nation and peoples of this Western Hemisphere. The Mexican chaotic situation you know, Honored Sir, is due solely to intrigue of American capitalists abetted by the no less cynical government of Washington. Panama has been stolen from Columbia through base intrigue and snarled maneuvers of United States officials. Can the world expect of your government something better than that offered by the reactionary and loathsome administration of ex-President Wilson? For the last eight years, the 18,000,000 colored folks of the Union have suffered more than ever; there was segregation and discrimination intensified, jim Crowism was at a pitch, and disfranchisement, lynchings and burnings occurred almost daily. For the last eight years the twenty republics of the continent known under the appellation of Latin America have been in a state of unrest of unrest. of incertitude, of vile depredations etc. wrongs have been committed, atrocities perpetrated on young girls and old men; all these numerous crimes have perhaps. Honored Sir, put a blot and a stain on the History, Government, People, Policy and Flag of the United States of America that no human being existent nor to come, except Jesus, the Christ, is able or capable of ever effacing. We remain yours very truly. FILOGNES MAILLARD, Havana, Cuba, Nov. 12, 1920. THE SELF-STYLED NEW NEGRO WHO IS YET OLD To The Editor Nexro World Dear Sir--Permit me space enough in your most valuable journal to convey to my people a little food for thought. All of us are not empowered with the gift of ability to supply food of this kind in large quantities, hence my little narrative. They say a half of a loaf is better than none at all. We are confronted very often these days by members of our race who consider themselves New Negroes. One really has to stop to analyze, scrutinize and even sympathize with some of these would-like-to-be New Negroes. Now let me say here that in order for you to be considered as such, you must first be born again. You must be equipped with a new soul, heart and mind, for merely having a desire to possess and control worldly things does not change you one lota for people have had those desires for ages only they did not put them to use. In order to be termed a New Negro, you must be willing to serve God and men honestly, righteously and conscientiously. You must be positive in whatever you may do. Don't you know that a person is readily condemned for entertaining an evil thought and allowing their actions to comply with said thoughts, by God and men, for it is our actions we are judged by? For instance if a person is seen walking to the river edge, possessing the evil thought of committing suicide, that person is condemning their soul by the thought of intending to do whether they actually perform the act or not. Unless that person falls down on their knees at the foot of the Cries of the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and asks His forgiveness, they are forever lost. I would like to see every member of my race transformed into a New Negro especially the young members. I want to tell you that it is impossible for you to fool everybody for when you come in contact with a man or woman that has actually fell upon their knees and asked Christ to instill in them new life, a life that has for them great promises, which will be their just due, through their service to Him, they turn and look upon you as an absolute failure but crying out to God in their solemnness to guide you least you go astray. Men and women of my race. I call upon you to drop your frivolous mode of existence as it will not bring you happiness for if you want to be happy and be the means of making someone else happy, adopt a life of positiveness, be sure of what you do so that you won't bring condemnation to your soul and sorrow to someone else, for He hath said, "Bervo ye first the Kingdom of God and all else shall be given thee." It is not hard to live a Godly life if you try in the right way, that is if you cannot succeed in doing so if you try to serve both the evil God and the just God, for instance there are lots of young women in our race today that are absolutely pure and moral. They have been taught to live that way by their parents, but their actions in public cause the people that see and notice their frivolous actions to cast and reflections on their character which is just as damaging to them as if they were actually immoral. Some day these creatures will realize their mistakes. I trust it will not be too late, so often so people give a deaf ear to facts told them for their own good. My appeal to you is that you accept first the word of God and by so doing you will live a life of righteousness, one that will demand the respect and honor from whomsoever you come in contact with. If this is not given by some, demand it of them for when a woman carries herself in a decent upright manner, not forgetting her position in life she is looked up to highly and men you want to adopt a clean and pure life also. For some of you are to be blamed in lots of cases. Really some men are so envious and selfish that every woman they see they want, regardless of the circumstances that surround that particular woman. Instead of showing a woman the right way to live and that she should be ashamed of herself for living otherwise and encourage her to live decent, he will take advantage of the weakness in her and use it to benefit his own selfish aims. I beg of both sexes to change their mode of living. Get down to business. Let everything you do, morally or otherwise, be a benefit to the race at large. By so doing you will be helping quite effectively the bringing about more quickly the desired objects and principles of the real New Negro. HAROLD G. SALTUS. CORRECTION.

Cuba, Orden MARCUS GARVEY TELLS JAMAICA AUDIENCE THE WHITE MAN, THE YELLOW MAN, THE BLACK MAN ARE ENTITLED TO CERTAIN PRIVILEGES The Daily Gleaner of Jamaica Published an Interesting Account of the Reception Tendered Hon. Marcus Garvey in Jamaica. The Dail- Gleaner quotes Mr. Garvey in part as follows: He believed in the grand and noble utterance of Theodore Roosevelt, "Fear God, and you have no need for fear." (Cheers). He was out in the world to meet all men of human equality, whether you were white, or yellow, or black, if you were a man he respected you, because you also were created with the 'mange of God Almighty. And he believed that the white man was entitled to certain rights and privileges, the yellow man was entitled to certain rights and privileges, and he believed the black man was also entitled to certain rights and privileges. So they would understand him well; he did not come to Jumaian to stir up strife, the State of Jamaica was too small a place for him. (Cheers). He was just wasting time here. They would understand why they said he was disloyal. He was not only President General of the U. N. 1. A. 2 but they had given him the biggest political job in the world—Provisional President of Africa, and he had to speak at times in the interest of his republic and his statemen, and if in speaking in the interest of his republic he displeased other statesmen, it was not his fault. It was their fault Warren Harding, the President of the United States, had to speak for his Government, Clemenceau of France had to speak for his, and why, should not he speak for his? (Cheers). All he was concerned with were the N.A.T. and economy. He was interested in the economic development of the N.A.T. that was why he had to speak to the Black Line, their social and moral growth, and that is why he was interested in the U. N. A.T. and social and moral growth. Provisional President, President General of the U.N. and the N.A.T. was interested in the U.N. and the N.A.T. and social and moral movement. Provisional President of a big republic, and sometimes he had to speak differently. When he was making a political speech he made no apologies, when he was speaking on industry a little was a different talk. He was not there that night to speak, the next night he would speak to the citizens of Kingston, and he welcomed white citizens, colored citizens and black citizens. He welcomed His Excellence, the Governor he welcomed everybody, and if they were coming to hear him speak edition they would be mistaken. (Cheers.) He was going to speak on his work and responsibility, and he hoped to meet them the next night. (Provisional appliance). —Daily Gleaner, Jamaica, B. W. I. --- BRUCE GRITS COLUMN Mr. E. Lowin of 23 W 133d street. Pittsburgh, Pa. He has been a professor of mathematics at Wilberforce University and while there introduced electrical lighting for the community Later he resigned his professorship at Wilberforce to accept a position as daily paper dealing with the proposed investigation of Harlem Hospital management, for which I thank him most cordially. Mr. Lewis asks me if I am in favor of colored the moans NEGro) nurses in that place, and I answer, yes; with all my voices. I not only favor NEGro nurses, but also Negro doctors. I don't know how many beds have been endowed in Hurlem Hospital by Negro organizations or by individuals in the race. I assume, however, from the hubub which has been started, and the charges which have been imposed on the management of the hospital that we have all seen our duty and "done it." If we haven't, our yelling and licking will be in vain. Every hospital in every city where there are large communities of Negroes, should have from one to a dozen beds endowed for the use and benefit of the unfortunate of the race who have to go to hospitals. I understand that nearly all the hospitals in New York are supported by private subscription. What proportion of these subscriptions come out of the treasury of the pockets of wealthy Negroes, deponent sayeth not. I trust, however, that in the case on point the brethren have "did nob." There seems to be some justification for the threatened investigation of the Harlem Hospital management. I have heard it praised and damned—more damned than praised. Where there is smoke, there is fire. I trust, that this investigation (if it gets under way) will be drastic and thorough. I do not, however, believe that spectaculary methods should be resorted to by either the investigators or the investigated. The truth will always prevail, though it may travel a little bit slower than falsehood, and there will be no doubt about the statements of the victims of these doctors, nurses, interns, etc. of Harlem Hospital to bring about the revolution in that institution's management which no many persons seem to desire without reporting to misleading statements. I have recently talked with Mr. Matt Henson concerning a news story in a daily paper of April 6, wherein he is alleged to have made certain statements derogatory to the Harlem Hospital etc. He said he had read the story and that it was a lie out of the whole cloth. That he had not been confined to his home on bed one week, one day or one hour as a result of the attack upon him. That he had not criticized the nurses or doctors of the hospital; that when he was saddled, and after he had been taken to the hospital he was attended by a nurse with wounds and put several stitches in the wound he had not been shown any discounts by the nurse who attended him and had not seen a doctor, because his wound was trivial, not dangerous, one that any trained nurse could attend to as skillfully as a physician. This was done. Mr. Henson having demolished that awfully blood-suffling yarn. What does this make the yarn maker? Falsus in uno, falso in omne. The Ethiopian Engineering Association with offices at 228 West 182th street, appeals to me as an organization which is deserving of more than passing notice. If, as its literature牵引 for it, it is a 100 per cent. Negro organization composed of engineers from all parts of the globe, it is entitled to the confidence of the Negro public and to its loyal support. Its president, Mr. Wm. H. Dammond, is a graduate of the Western University of Pennsylvania; where he received the degree of G. E., and four weeks after the graduation he became an electrical student in the course offered by the Washington State University. Pittsburgh, Pa. He has been a professor of mathematics at Wilberforce University and while there introduced electrical lighting for the community, Later he resigned his professorship at Wilberforce to accept a position as assistant bridge engineer of the Michigan Central Railroad. After seven years and a half, which were employed in designing railway and highway bridges for that company, he spent another seven years in England where he did considerable structural work and contributed a number of illustrated articles to railway and electrical technical journals published in London. Returning to this country he has devoted his time to designing structural steel work for factories, theatres and beddings. The Association's aim is to provide for men, who have a taste for Mechanical Engineering and to give them thorough and technical training in these branches, so that they will be qualified to work in Africa or Brazil or in America, if the bars against skilled Negro artisans are ever let down here. As I have been made to understand one of the aims of this association is to open up in some place in Africa, preferably Liberia, opportunities for Negro mining, civil and electrical engineers who may qualify as members of this association in these several branches of engineering. I understand also that the officers of the association hope to have an interview with Press. C. D. B. King on his return to New York City, with a view to enlisting aid in popularizing the idea in Liberia, where much good work can be done. Mr Dammond was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. and is a young gentleman of culture, education and broad vision who is looking to the future with faith, married and with confidence that the Ethiopian Engineer. Association will some day make its mark in some corner of Africa. It is a bifitious undertaking, and I wish it the success it so worthily deserves. God bless our young men and fit them for the great battles ahead of us. An Irishman, accustomed to his daily dhram every forty-five minutes, one day found himself on the inside of the country jail looking out, because of some slight infraction of the law. His thirst for hootch got the better of him after he had been in jail for two days and he raised a great commotion in that edifice by yelling every little white. "Oil want whiskey, Ol' man!" Another Irishman, passing the jail at time he was making known his liquid wants, looked up at his fellow countryman, and remarked, "Yes might have bin cremied could bl, when they put yes in theyse, but Oll be dombed of yes arry crazy now. We arl wants thim. We do that, wisha." An Italian vender of statues of Saints Rooco and Michael slipped and fell while turning a street corner and amashed his entire stock of bronzed plaster paris statuary, whereas be rose and sadly contemplating the damage and flurring up his loss, set up a wall which estimated an Irish polychrome mosaic. "Thawt the matter wid wi ye, Tony?" yes raising all his bully-butterfly"Tony lifted his eyes sorrowfully and pointing, to the broken saints said, "St. Michael and St. Rooco alla gonne to Hella. Me ruined." THE EINSTEIN THEORY Now that Frew, Kinstelf, and his theory are discussed by and uppermost in the minds of the "average citizen"—by the way, I should like to know what each of my thinks of each other is. "Average citizen"—it should not be "average citizen"—me—it—me— to get into the discussion and he heard or read on the Kristinia Theory. While I am not so noticeably scientific, I am, nevertheless, not so very practical as to be prejudiced against Prof. Einstein and his Theory. Even if I were very practical I do not think it should become me to underestimate the learned professor; nevertheless, I am prone to comment on part, or, I think, the backbone of his theory. I think—I do not know as I have never read his theory (authoritative)—except as for what I have called from newspapers, the following accredited to Prof. Einstein: "With the destruction of the earth will go time and space." I do not question this—his theory may be right or it may be wrong. But what I do say is this: is humanity "civilised" to the point to receive such theories? And if the quotation above, accredited to Prof. Einstein, should ever be applied to our religion and life in general and be put from "theory" to "practice" it would mean the filling of our jails and other institutions for the degenerate, for with nothing to live for or strive up toward, how sad would be man's fate—he working for oblivion because he expects oblivion to be his ultimate end. LEONARD BRADWAITE Georgia Plante Found Guilty (Continued from page 1.) slons and prejudices of the men composing the jury. Believe White or Negro? The Williams family's presence in court and the notion that twelve white men should be asked to hang another white man on the testimony of what he called a "worthless Negro" were two of the chords he struck most strongly and returned to most often. The case at its close was, therefore, at its opening, brought to the single clear issue of credibility between a Negro and a white man. Manning, under oath and supported by other witnesses, declared Williams guilty of murder. Williams, unsworn, simply rejoined that he was not. Williams was tried on an indictment charging him and Glyde Manning, a Negro, jointly with the murder of another Negro, Lindsey Peterson, by drowning in the Yellow River in Newton County. The body of Peterson, who had been a hand on William's cotton plantation in Jasper County, was found on March 13 fastened to the body of William Preston, another employee. The hands of the pair were tightly fastened together with wire and to a trace chain which closely enclosed their two necks a cane and a baseball bat. About a hundred pounds was fastened. On the same day the body of another Williams plantation Negro, Harry "Boots" Price, similarly bound and weighted, was found in the South River, also in Newton County, and about a mile distant from the first two. On Friday, March 23, Williams and Manning, who had been working on the former's plantation for thirteen years, were indicted jointly in three separate true bills for murdering three men. Just before the Grand Jury took this action Manning had stated to it that he and his employer had disposed of eight more Negroes from the plantation. "Have you reached a verdict, gentlemen?" Judge John B. Hutcheson asked when at 9.45 this morning the jury filed into the courtroom with tired and grave but incarcerated them. They had been out almost eighteen hours. They answered the foreman, T. R. Sarr, officer. By the court's order Starr handed the folded and indorsed indictment against "Villiams to Solicitor General A. M. Branford" who opened it and read aloud: "We the fury, the defendant, John S. Williams, guilty of murder as charged, and recommend merc." There was the briefest of discussions as Prosecutor Brand and the prisoner's attorney, Greene F. Johnson, stated to the court their unequivocal understanding that under the code of George's such mercy in a capital case meant specifically life imprisonment in the penitentiary. "Stand up, Mr. Williams." "John S. W. Williams," said Judge Hutcheson in his pleasant Southern voice, "the verdict of the jury is the sentence of the court. "Gentlemen, the court thanks you for your services and excuses you from further duty during this term," said Judge Hutcheson, "I jury never considered the possibility of acquitting Williams, it was learned from some of the men who composed it. And from the moment they entered their room for deliberation they promised each other there should be no mirail through a failure to reach an agreement. "We wrangled and wrangled so long," said one of the men to a correspondent of the New York World, "that I couldn't even guess how many ballots we took. The whole quarrel was about whether we ought to break his nack." The division was sight for hanging and four for imprisonment, on the first ballot, when Judge Hutchinson's charge was redelivered at 12:30 this morning, and when at 1 o'clock the jury wanted to bed. It was the same when they took their first ballot at 8 o'clock today. And one of the four men who refused to hang Williams was known to his associates as "the hardest leaded man in Newton county," who news in his life had budged from an attitude once taken. So, rather than spend more time and more of the people's funds in fruitless discussion, the eight compromised with the four. Immediately after sentence was imposed Attorney Johnson, for the defendant, entered a formal motion for a new trial, based on the general grounds that the verdict was against the law and evidence. Judge Huttonson set April 20 and Decatur as the time and place for a hearing. If the expected happen, he will then overrule the motion. The judge for the trial will override the motion. public sentiment argues no great delay, and Silkert Brand stated today that he could Manning as soon as Judge Hutcheson would be able to court. When that will be Judge Hutcheson declines to indicate at present. Former Assistant United States Attorney General E. Marvin Underwood of Atlanta, retained as Manning counsel, had stated that his "ill will" plead not guilty on the ground that he was coerced to kill by his emple. a. Williams. George Justice Brown "The result of the trial," said Governor Hugh M. Dorney in a statement expressed for the *New York World*. "is not only what I had hoped it would be, for the sake of justice and the good names of our State, but it was also what I had known it would be if the wish of every good citizen could receive effective expression. "Judge Hutchesson, Solicitor General Brand and the officials and men of Newton county did splendidly what every good Georgian wanted to see done. They gave Williams the fair and impartial trial to which he was entitled. They discarded alike all prejudices and any temptation to be vengeful. In punishing him they have vindicated the law and restated the fact that every man in Georgia must stand equal at bar of justice. I could land only my influence to help them. I shall continue to lend it and do everything in my power to see that investigation and action put out every vexation of the blot which the Jaxper county revelations put upon the State's reputation. "If anywhere," Governor Dorey ended, "men have been asking what Georgia means to do about such things, this superbly ordered trial, the verdict rendered this morning and the grand jury probe which begins in Monticell-next Monday are an answer Georgia would ask to have considered."

(cheers), and when the war was over all the people who fought in it demanded their share and received consideration, but the Negro alone got nothing. What did they think? Did they think that the men who suffered and died, their brothers and his, in France and Flanders and Mosopotamia were going to shed their blood for nothing? "You will understand, Negroes of Jamaica," he shouted, "the world is reorganizing itself politically, and men and races and nations everywhere are clamoring for and demanding their rights. Hence the Universal Negro Improvement Association has organized itself and calls upon the 400,000,000 Negroes in the world to demand their rights. What was the matter with Jamaica? Whole whole world was organising itself. Negroes were fighting for motherland! She was now bleeding and crying out to her children for aid and help! Negroes everywhere had answered. Are you going to answer in Jamaica?" (Cries of "yes!" He continued: "I have come here to your answer, yes or no. I have been made to understand that Jamaica is made up of cowards. Fellows are afraid to talk because they are afraid to die! Were you afraid to die in France and Flanders? Talk wherever you are! Talk for your constitutional rights! I understand there is a trembling fury in Jamaica. Trembling for what? God Almighty created you as men as you live, as; you you must die! (Aplaume.) Are you afraid of men? I would like to see a man who dared make me afraid. You men of Jamaica, you want backbone! Take out the weak bones you have and take in backbones. Don't let anybody cow on you! Demand them for their rights! Demand them! Englishmen in England; demand their constitutional rights; throughout the whole Empire men speak for their rights. You lazy, good-for-nothing Jamaicans, wake up!" (Cheers.) In stirring language and warmly gesticulating, he almost yelled: "If for your constitutional rights, they will not hear you in Jamaica, then carry it to the foot of the throne in England! It looks like this is a country of blind one-man rule, because in my survey of world politics and international matters. Jamaica is the Most Backward Country in this Western Hemisphere. Men dare not talk in Jamaica! What is the matter with you, men? I am glad to let you know that a change is taking place and you must join in the change now, otherwise you will lose forever. I have no respect for men who are too cowardly to demand their rights." In an easier tone he went on, "Some have been scattering rumors that I am coming to Jamaica to stir up some sort of strife. Why so nervous about my coming here if they have done up wrong? A man with a clean conscience is ready to welcome a man and a friend at any time, I have not come to Jamaica to stir up any revolution or race strife, but come to speak to the men and women and children who look like me, and I would like to see the man who would stop me do it. I never brought myself here, they brought me here, and I am here until I am ready to go (cheers). Little did they calculate 800 years ago when they robbed black men and women from Africa that black men would strike terror into their hearts (cheers). Concluding, he asked to whom did the world believe it belonged, he said, to the Great God, the Great Architect of the Universe who created man His masterpiece and gave him to the world, the "Lord of creation." He said, "Man, then are persecuted!" God have said while he against the privileger and justice of black man or yellow man, good man said! "Are you men?" He chuckled and he begged to write his beloved sister and he said, "The poor man." the age and man that if you think it is that theory has been applied in the world war. It was you, the superman that brought back victory to the marshal! (Chapman) If you believe yourself monkeys prior to 1814, then your achievement in the world war was such that will restore your confidence. If you are man, if you are the Lord of creation, what right have you Lord of creation to allow other Lord of creation to take away what belongs to you and make shares of you? You have as much right in the world war as any other White man know their right and claim it! Here is one Negro and who represents four million Negroes who feel and think like me who feel and think that we are Lord of creation and as the white man is exercising the jurisdiction of his over-lordship so we are organizing Negroes to exercise the jurisdiction of our over-lordship. Hence as we are willing to see Europe for the white man and Asia for the yellow man so we demand Africa foe, the black man. (Applause.) seems so thin. If some opened their eyes to death and Judah Chabad on the biblical scene of all apolog�then they are in a small house Gideon and Joseph Gideon (Chapman). They are able to understand what they were living in a biblical world but were living in a biblical world but were an end of thought, and "doubt". Christianity be told the Narrative of Jesus would be very difficult and much more difficult than the Good News. They had a lot of wisdom, in a deed. He said they may be to be a better Christmas that he may. They wanted men in Judaism with a sense of sympathy. Nobody mentioned in more sympathy the Black people in Judaism. He was sorry for the Israel and for the black people here and he was sorry he could not remain there to help them for a wider world called him. He had come for the last time and he joined what he had said would inspire and to carry the forthought of Christianity. "Your Goddin and your Wilhelm and the great kind of Negro petrichors." Are a bunch of Hyenas like he said, "I say no without any limitation, because if they, were not hypothetical they would have led. They are men with superior education, but they have no backbone. If they were not cowards they would have you, but they bow and dringle before a child beheaded he is white. You want me!" The difficulty in Jamaica was color question. Why, they only had two races in the country (he did not, mean the Chinese and Syrians with whom he would deal the next night) the white race and Negro race. Where did they get this colored race from? There was no color race. Color meant nothing, some people did not like to be called Negroes. Why, he said, "some people in Jamaica would: just those you deal if you call them a Negro (Laughter). What was beating Jamaica, that they had doomed themselves? How meant they level. How felt? A race that was ashamed of itself was a race that displeased the God, who created it. Were they going to continue in the same ignorance? That was what the U. N. L. A. set itself to do, to change the current of thought and to make them realise that they belonged to the race and in one common dealiny. If they rise they must rise as a race and not as individual. Individual effort had yet done anything for humanity or saved any great situation; it took co-operative effort to save any situation. In Jamaica they had been individualists too long. They wanted co-operation and they wanted their Gordon Somers and their Wilkinson to pitch in as men. He refused to believe that any man was his superior because of color. He believed in superiority, not of color, but of intellect and achievement. He was willing to admit any white man was better than he, if the white man could why him in intellect and given the same chance and opportunity the white man was able to forget about of him. They were to use all of their intelligence. Musk Star Line Steam- ship "Thylis Wheatley" to Be Fleated May 1 Continued from Page 1 down or under the bonds of injustice and oppression. Gray, Dr. Stewart was the master of encyclopedias, and conducted, the meeting in his typically able and delightful manner, keeping the audience in good humour, and saying pleasant things to them, and about them, that prepared the way for the stirring appeal he made for the opening speech of the evening and the purchase of more shares to help get open the top of the launch of the Griffin Wheeler on May 1. The Doe was very adroit in making his appeal. He asked the audience "Do we want to win the African trade?" "No, we want to buy the ships only by buying, war!" to which again the answer was "no." How, then, he gave one word to get the ship? The answer to this question "All right now," said he, "evidently, having gotten his attention to the point, he wanted to lead them, if we want to see you come for business with the money in government and liberal finance. I expect each one with whom we will in this hall respond to these forward and buy one stock in the Black Star Line." Since his admirations in the appeal he made the audience roared with laughter and good humour, came forward and really, the line of which regarded as an undesirable alien. "Mr. Matthew, the assistant counselor general of the association, however," he said, "had assured him that no stone would be lefturnured to see to it that His Excellency does come back in due time into the United States." This statement caused the house to shake and resound with applause. Continuing with his subject, that if the Negroes will combine and organize, they will become a living force in the world. Only in this way can they hope to accomplish their deserved place in the affairs of the nations of this earth. His argument was a logical and forceful one, and the expoitation of hate Nine was attainable in independent status freed from the ties by which he is today kept down because of his lack of organization and lack of a government of his own, discrimination, injustice and oppression. Counsellor Wilford H. Smith and Capt. L. G. Lalanne, Minister of Legions, were also on the platform, and, when called upon by the High Chancellor, made brief, effective addresses of appeal to their hearers to come to the assistance of the Executive Council at this crucial and important time to help make possible the achievement of launching of the fourth steamship to the now rapidly augmenting line of vessels owned by the Black Star Line. Announcement was made by the Chancellor on that tomorrow evening, Monday, April 11, all the presidents from the various branches of the U. N. L. A. that were present tonight would again attend Liberty Hall and that an opportunity would be given them to address the friends of Liberty Hall. It is expected that it will be a rousing meeting and one of exceptional interest, as such a meeting has not been held since the days of the big convention in August a year ago. Additional meetings will also be held throughout the balance of the week in the interest of siding in the rally for the needed funds in connection with the launching of the great "Phyllis Wheatley." Rev. Dr. Stewart Speaks. Hon. Dr. G. B. Stewart, in welcoming the gathering and introducing the gathering, We are indeed glad to greet you in Liberty Hall tonight. Day by day we are undertaking great things. Prior to the month of August that the whole weight of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was on the head of one individual, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. During that great convention you in you: wisdom selected and elected men to fill different offices. These men comprise the great Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Now that the president general is away in the West Indian islands doing great work I feel sure wherever he is tonight his heart is at ease, because he knows that he has men left behind who can shoulder the burden. And in the wisdom of these men, whom you have elected, while meeting some time during the past week they came to a great problem—the greatest problem in the history—the Executive Council of the U. N. E. A. and finding it impossible to be by ourselves, we invited the presidents from different parts of the country to meet us in conference this afternoon. And here they are—great, tawful men—sitting before you tonight. This is the first time in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the presidents have had the opportunity to meet in conference with the Executive Council. But this is just the beginning of the great things we have planned to do by one the presidents of the various divisions who were summoned and had responded. "These are the mon," he said, "on whom the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is depending for success. We can do nothing if these presidents stand in the way. But if they co-operate with us we must take this country by storm, and let it be known through the world that we are working in full co-operation. Continuing. Dr. Stewart said: Dear Friends: We have reached the point tonight where we are determined, by the help of Almighty God and your assistance and the assistance of these presidents before us, to put on the waters before the president general comes back to the city of New York the ship that we have been so longing to see, the "Phyllis Wheatley." We found the task was an arduous one; therefore we have sent for them. They have come here tonight to see what New York will do and we want to show them what kind of people we have in Lib. ty. Halk because we want them to go back to their different divisions and tell them "We have never seen things after this fashion before." (Applause.) Dr. Broaks Speaks. Hon. Dr. J. D. Brooks, Secretary General of the U. N. L. A., was the first speaker introduced. Having just returned from the sunny South, where he had been working at the interest of the U. N. L. A., organizing new branches and making converts to the cause, Dr. Brooks expressed his great pleasure to be again back in Liberty Hall. He paid tribute to his co-workers in the field and urged for more appreciation of the talesame, and, other, communications that they had in to Liberty Hall from time to time. Your Picture for the Narr He begins their speeches on the end- eat. "What does the future hold in matter for the Narrator of the world? to follow?" "You know of the past achievement of the Narrator and of the past history of the Narrator. You have heard it from this platform from time to time and perhaps you are students at History yourself and you know that the Narrator has accomplished in the past and that as the Narrator is connected, throughout the world, you know what the going is. But you are happy to know, as you, study men and women, when the Narrator does, head over and turn to commerce. You think about the future of the world and what a world will be like. You know that this world will be filled with people who will be priests, who will be creators and the菩 mi- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1821 he was an undesirable alien. Mr. Mathews has assured me that no stone shall be left unturned to see it that His Excellency comes back in due time and is admitted into this country. That is what the future holds out for the New York Division—that Mr. Garvey will be here and be back on time. (Applause.) "I am delighted that we have these men of lore—men of standing, with not a single exception—on the Executive Council. Every man has won his spurs, and when you hear man say that they do not measure up to the idea of international figures, I do not call them liars (it is a dangerous thing to do), but they are certainly. andling the truth mighty carelessly; for these men have won their spurs. "What does the future hold in store for the Negroes? What are we to expect? And the very gathering of Negroes together in a meeting like this and throughout the entire country and wherever the Universal Negro Improvement Association has a branch or division, tells you that there is some restlessness, some unrest, among the Negroes of the world. Negroes are not satisfied with conditions and they are seeking some place and somebody who will offer them a remedy; and the leader who comes forth now and offers no remedy but simply makes a big speech and offers no remedy for the Negro's condition will certainly not be a leader for long. What is in store for us? What may we hope for? Every race in the world looks forward to something. Some of the races have gotten most of the good things that are given to them and they are going back now. My good friends, the white people have gone as high as they can possibly go. They have gone up in airships until one of them froze his eyelids off the other day; they have gone down in mines and submarines until they found the ocean bed; they have grown old with their modern inventions have turned night into day. They have done wonderful things, but they are growing old, and when folks grow old very little is left for them to do but to die. And, while they are growing old, the Negro is a young race. The fact that his feet are large simply goes to show that he has not been wearing shoes very long as a race and is a young fellow. When a follow is young and in his prime all things are possible to him. The white man is going back. There is an article, I believe in 'The Forum,' that speaks of the decay and decline of the white race. "I tell you, men and women, the future holds in store for the Negroes of the world splendid things, if Negroes will combine themselves. If Negroes will unite with One God, One Aim, One Destiny, they will become the leading force of this entire world. It can come only through organized efforts. The white man respects but one thing: he respects power and organization; and the reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has made the British nation to get a little bit uneasy and made France to start to go to church, and the United States to wonder what is going to happen next; the reason it has made the Georgia 'cracker' tremble and the Texan begin to wonder if the Negro is really alive is the fact that it is a powerful organization—it is an organization that the white man fears. When I was going into Maryland, that splendid State, the other day, we reached a place called Delmar, where they change care—Negroes are jim-crowded there. I had with me a Mr. Arnold, a refined and cultured gentleman who has been in the Government service for 22 years. When we got to Baltimore, I did not wait for the conductor to tell me to go on the other car, but I went on into the other car. Mr. Arnold hesitated and protested to me, saying that they had left another Negro on the car, I said, "He is not a Negro." "Yes," he said, "You are mistaken." I answered: "he is a Jap, and I will prove it to you." So I carried him back into the car and took a goat to a shop. I got a Jap. Now, do you know the reason why they let that Jap stay there and did not jimrow him? They put me out and they put Mr. Arnold out because there was no government at our back. Why did they not put the Jap out? If they had put that Jap off that train they would have to reckon with every Japanese submarine boat, every Japanese warship, every Japanese soldier. If they had thrown me off, do you know what would happen? His Grace the Chaplain General and Dr. Stuart and Rev. Galanes and Dr. Gordon would have held a prayer meeting at the Executive Council and deplored the fact that good Brother Brooks was put to death. Why? Because there is no recognized government to which they could appeal in my behalf. And after that, I was told that I was petitioned to high heaven against the outrage of my being thrown off the car. Then the good (2) white people would have met and passed a resolution saying "that the fale name of our city has been defamed, and this thing must not happen again." How in the name of heaven can it happen again and I am dead? You can't kill a man but once. (Laughter.) But the future holds this out—I can see it; it is written in the heavens. Just as truly as these men and women pushed forward to put over this drive tonight. You have been told about the "Phyllis Wheatley." Let us know what the "Phyllis Wheatley" is. The "Phyllis Wheatley" is the result of the marriage of promise to hope. The future holds out the "Phyllis Wheatley" for you; the future holds out and ship after ship for the Black Star the "future holds out for the Negro the future holds out for the Negro him; it must be done; it is hard to come. The future holds out the Negro women; many men who will stand up for them. I can see it; and as I go away, I can hear the music of the area training; to me, the mother of the problem, whisper; as in my day of Glade, promise, sympathy, trust; that Princess shall come out of Earphil and withdrew shall stretch forth her Mama and God; and the Negro has become With The Contributing Editor THE WORLD'S FINEST HERITAGE send $100 and we will send you a full supply that you can begin work with at order also for other forms.

Contributing Editor, The Negro World. Sir – Perhaps I err in not addressing you with one of those expressions which, in the English language, go “before meals” or before the titles of British dukes, archbishops, priory councillors and ministers of state. In that case I hope you will overlook the unintentional disrespect, but I take it that, as a man of letters and a leader in the movement for the self-expression of the black man, you must surely appreciate the fact that although the provisional statemen of your race are privileged to use any of the white man's languages as a means of expression and intercourse with their universal constituents, it is not merely inconsistent with your program of independence but, from the view of the British view, it is highly impersonal for the Nationalists to appropriate to themselves certain forms of addresses which have been copyrighted, so to speak, by the British people, who restrict the use of the phrases in question to perhaps less than one hundred white men domiciled in Great Britain. So exclusive and indisputable is the title of these few Britishers to the titles so much in evidence in your anti-British world, that the no-Englishman of the United States, in ringing the Liberty Bell, rang out their renunciation of any possible inheritance or temporary acquisition of grace, and, though many of them have considered themselves honorable enough to hold public office, someone invariably discovers that they have been entirely wrong. It seems to me that, since men are prone to act by STAR HAIR A Wonderful Hair D 1,000 AGENT HURFRT H. HARRISON example, the blooming nationalism of the Nigritians might well follow the example of the flourishing nationalism of the revolted Englishmen by declaring itself independent of British titles. But the Nigritians, in modeling their provisional republic from the original of Washington, should not suppose that, because a white president lives in the White House, a black house should shelter black statemen. Such a house, I fear, would be rather black, and depressing. And the presidential balance of Nigeria must radiate sunshine and good cheer. I am for giving to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to the Nigritian patriot the things that are useful to him. 50—Beauty Recipes—50 **BOOTH RECIPES** 60 Every lady should possess this wonderful collection of various cosmetics, perfumes and hair prepara- tions.

Some of these, you say, joined hands with Hale—no, Hale and Heart would not have joined hands with them, joined the chorus in wishing upon civilization the most dire calamity that has befallen it through the misplacement of any one man in high office. Wilson has happily been consigned to a merciful oblivion. But the story of his career should be instructive and corrective to men who aspire to the urgent call and the great responsibility of service to their fellows. The defects of Wilson, so clearly exhibited by Hale in 1911 and so carefully dismussed by Hale in 1911, are the defects of the men who would promote the advancement of the colored people of the United States or the improvement of black observer everywhere. The impartial observer finds in these chastises the same baseless conceit, an ignorance often vastly more crass by comparison with that of Wilson with THE OTHER WELL-KNOWN SOPHIA PREPARATIONS.

And yet these men persist in the way of Wilson, rejecting good counsel, rejecting all encouragement, for fear that their own glory might otherwise be diminished. With them, as with Wilson, their accomplishment must therefore be restricted to the domain of words and their reward must be the oblivion, if not the execration, of those who place their trust in them. I hope, some day, that the black man may enjoy everywhere the opportunity to improve himself in contact with his wife, and to enjoy the protection of a Nigrita Warrior. I hope, too, that civilization will soon be so far advanced in the United States that the so-called Anglo-Saxon would poison himself rather than roast, or bury alive his brother of more obscure lineage.

It is not only in the case of war, when whole nations are considered as one group and are looked at from the point of view as belonging to one particular group, not individually, but also in a peaceful life. Of course, in all these cases we are supposed to look at the value of the individual from the point of view of his group rather than of his own marita. "How, I want to speak today particularly on the question of race prejudice, and how it may arise when our point of view is warped. One particular feature of race prejudice, in any particular group is that we may consider every individual simply as a representative of a certain type. We take an example from Europe. When I speak about the Swedes, I may think of a person who is tall, blond, of blue eyes, with a long head. I may think of a person who is tall, blue, of white, of fact, when I went to Sweden. I did not find all the Swedes conform to this type, but that there were some of this type, and some of other types, so that not by any means all individuals conform to what I call a type. Just the same when I went to Italy and studied the Italians in their province "I imagined the Sicilian rather temperamental, short of nice dark hair and a dark skin. But when I went there, I found that many, of the individuals are blond, with red hair, blue eyes, etc. very vigorous, some of them slow in their actions. Here again the idea which I have of a certain given type does not by any means conform with the actual conditions of the people. Now, what is true in these two cases is practically true of others. We are always misled in thinking of a certain particular kind of type when we are speaking. We do not consider for a moment the fact that a group taken as a whole contains a great many different individuals of different types and different characteristics. Now, taking the question from this point of view it becomes clearly a scientific question. We ought not to ask ourselves what is the type of European, or what is the type of Negro, but we ought to ask ourselves what are all the different individuals like who compose certain kind of people, and his question has been asked by anthropologists for a long time. Of course, it is true that when we compare the different appearance of a European to that of a certain African Negro with regard to pigmentation, with regard to form, they are not alike. They are different people. When we study, on the other hand, certain features like the form of the lip, the shape of the stomach, and the type of the tongue, and the form of the brain, etc., we find something that is quite different. We find that all Europeans differ very, very much. If you try to identify the Europeans by the study of one of these organs, it would be utterly impossible as the same kind of type is found among a great many different groups. Now, when we study in this way the Negroes and the whites, and the Negroes has been studied with a great deal of care and detail, we do find that in their relation, structure, in regard to their range of detailed power, it is quite impossible to say that it, or she stand in a class as distinct from the Negroes. On the contrary, we do find that by far the majority of the two groups are exactly of the same forms, except in extreme cases. Races Not Fundamentally Distinct. We know that in the course of life we are all exposed to a great many different conditions of living, and we find that our organisms are perfectly able to cope with all conditions to which we are exposed. Let me illustrate: We say a certain child is born if that child grows up in one country where one language is spoken, the tongue, the lip, will adjust themselves to the requirements of that particular kind of speech. If the child is taken into another country, then the same organs will adapt themselves to the different character of speech. As far as we know there is absolutely no form of the lips or tongue or mouth which will prevent anyone from doing just what is required in any particular kind of speech. In other words, the form does not actually determine the functions, but they can be adapted to the particular requirements of life whether in the white or Negro race. Of course there are a few cases, as in the case of an individual with a tied tongue to the lower jaw, who, when operated on and the tongue is cut cannot speak like the offers, but in normal forms any kind of mouth, no matter what it may be, can function properly in the various circumstances. Another matter which may be even more important and fundamental is the heart. Let us consider it for a moment. Our heart is supposed to maintain the circulation of the blood. Now the external conditions under which our blood *circulates* are very different. They live at a certain altitude, and they may live 30,000 feet above the earth. work hard, and nevertheless the same heart will be practically capable of adjusting itself to the conditions of life. Here again we may say that the same form of heart may adjust itself in different conditions of life. We may also say that hearts do differ considerably in form, but they all do the same thing, and we may say the same in regard to the stomach and the intestine. The food in various places is very different, and a great many of us have passed through periods of life where we adjusted ourselves to one kind of food or another. I take myself for example: When I was young I spent some time in the Arctic, where I had to adjust myself to a purely diet. At a later time I lived in the tropics, and was not completely adapted to vegetable data, and this is true of every one of us. New the same thing is true in regard to our nervous system and the brain. It is true that among Europeans there are different types of brain, some large and some small, some simple and some complicated, but we find that in the majority of cases they are all doing the same kind of work, and can be adjusted with the particular kind of requirements. In other words, we find that throughout the whole organism there is a wide margin of safety, whereby the various organs can adjust themselves. It depends simply upon the conditions of physical life, social life. But if we consider here what actually happens in the different families whom we know, notwithstanding the fact of this adjustability, there is a marked difference in the different families. In one family, for instance, the members may be very strong physically. They may be called muscular, so that if the proper conditions are given we may say that such and such a family are composed very largely of individuals who are particularly adapted for physical work. And so it may be with another family where there is a tendency of weakness. It may be that the family tends to develop all sorts of diseases due to lack of resistance, and we may say that the members of that family are subject to these influences. So when we take the case of the brain development all of us know there are some families the members of which are great individuals, while on the other hand there are other families where the individuals are very stupid. The children inherit the stupidity of their parents. In other words, it is certainly true that not only the individuals in a certain race are different, but we may also recognize that owing to the influence of heredity the whole family lines in a given race are different. If we look at the race from this point of view we may recognise that in a family of one race there are certain lines of descent. There are certain families that are particularly strong, well adapted to cope with the work which is required of them, while there may be others who are in some way incapable. We ought to speak of hereditary characteristics of family lives, for when we study the family lives of different races we see that the cause of colour in different races, and that there are weak families and strong families in the white race, there are weak families and strong families in the Asiatic race, and there are weak families and strong families in the African race. Residual Heredity Does Not Exist. Now white people speak of racial characterisation. The fundamental error which is made is whenever they speak of a race as all of the individuals of that race possessing the same characteristics and that these characteristics were inherited from generation to generation. I want you to understand, as I said a while ago, that such an idea of racial heredity simply does not exist. We have here heredity in regard to family lives, and we have heredity in regard to certain individuals, but when we take the whole race with its enormous differences which exist in the various generations, we can only say that the next generation will possibly have some kind of distribution among different individuals in the different families. There is no sense in the statement that a certain characterisation is hereditary in a race and therefore belongs to every individual of that race. Anyone who makes that statement forgets that the different individuals, as well as the family lives in any given race, differ among themselves enormously, and really do not show any particular kind of similarity. The differences we found in one race are ever so much greater and fundamental than the differences which may be found in what we call different racial types. By racial types I mean the behavior of the people belonging to different races. No Fundamental Difference Between White and Negro Race. Now I should like to speak here about one point which I have discussed a great deal in recent times, and it is very often used in order to substantiate the view that there is a fundamental difference between the white race and the Negro race which has been the subject of evasion was made in schools or the army by tests on Negroes and the white people of divers nationalities. It is quite true that when these tests were made the results in regard to the ability of the different races were apparently quite different, and we found ordinarily that various white groups did much better than the Negro group did. But there was an observation equally important which must be taken into consideration. When a comparison was made between the tests on Negroes from Mississippi or Louisiana and those of the North, particularly Chicago, it was found that those from Chicago did better than the Negroes from Louisiana or Mississippi. Now we ask ourselves what is the reason for this peculiar fact. To my mind it is perfectly clear of what happened in a certain case. The Negroes who live in Chicago are accustomed to the particular kind of life about which these particular tests were developed, and therefore he could act with a fair degree of certainty with what was desired. The Negro from Mississippi admitted. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1921 in a small community, and had no experience with the particular test. Others who have made similar observations claim that the difference was due to the fact that the more energetic Negro migrated from the South, and the work remained. I do not believe that this explanation is at all tenable, but I can tell you also why I believe so. I would like to refer here to another kind of test which has also been made in the elementary schools here and in the colleges. There are a number of school children of the same age; whites of the different nationalities and Negroes, and the following results were obtained: The best results were obtained from children of American parents. Very close to them were children of Jews; next to them were Negroes and away behind were the Palmieri. Now, when we consider the actual inter-relationship between the biological relationship between the different race types, of course the Italians stand far away, but very close with the North Europeans, and it would be preposterous to assume that the Italians differ greatly from European group; and we ask ourselves why was this difference actually found. When we investigate the home conditions we find that simply the social state was such that they were not so well adapted to the particular kind of test which was made. In other words in all these cases where these tests were made, it simply showed how a particular group is adapted itself to that particular kind of test, but it does not show anything particularly in regard to general intelligence. I can make this point clear by an example: There are a great many people whose system of relationship is quite different from cura. I use the term "my father, my mother," and I know exactly what I mean. And, therefore, if I ask anyone the question who is your father, he can answer at once automatically. But it is not so with the American Indians; we find in his native term father means not only the father but the mother. In such a case—the question has actually been asked by an investigator who is your father; and then the person ask, "whom do you need?" And the investigator says, "well, this person must be terribly stupid, but does not even know how to mother (Laughter). In this way we can understand what is meant. In other words, my impression is that the tests which we now-a-days use to prove that there is an essential difference between different races simply means that in the conditions given one people acts differently to another kind of people, and that does not mean anything in regard to their intelligence. Now I think what we see here so far shows very clearly that when we look at the question of racial characteristics from a scientific point of view, when we study the behavior and the characteristics of different races, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to claim that one race differs fundamentally from another one; but we do we say of them we know that all of them react in the way they and the bulk of the people cannot respond to the utter requirements of life equally well. Of course there may be differences in extremes. Why Race Prejudice Exists However, clearly we may recognize this fact, it does not do away with the actual occurrence of the actual existence of race prejudice, and I think it necessary to look at the matter from a different angle. We may all ask ourselves, "How did race prejudice originate? What does it mean? And how do so difficult to overcome?" I think if we do so difficult to overcome from this point of view, may go back to very early times. In the early times we had no very great masses of the people lived in small groups, separated from one another, each group inhabiting its own territory and keeping away from the other group. Now when we look at the way in which these people behaved in their time (even today they have not departed from that custom) we find that there is always hostility between one group and another group. We cannot know the reasons, but the particular group of people who live together eat and drink together. It is particular group of people set their own interests higher than the interests of anyone outside of their society. This has gone so far that in certain tribes we find that only those people who belong to that particular tribe are called human beings. For instance, when you study the names of the African tribes; one name, Bantu, means human being; and every one of another tribe is designated to be an enemy. In early times the feeling was that only members of one's own type were human beings and those outside not human beings, and should be treated accordingly. And we always have this particular kind of feeling when the society which is set aside from any other society reacts in any particular way, and only sets its own interest higher than the interest of mankind. So that it is intelligible, the whole idea of mutual application, when one type is helpful to another, which does away with this thing even in the most primitive shape. And we always have this particular kind of feeling when the society which is set from another society reacts in any particular way and only sets its own interest higher than the interest of mankind. Of course, in American civilization, these conditions do not remain quite NEGRO World Ads. Bring Resolutions.

Y. the same; they changed an time west on and the contact with different types became more intimate. This extreme point of view that every stranger is an enemy and ought to be killed gives way to a clearer concept of what mankind needs. Nevertheless, that particular kind of feeling that a particular race ought to preserve its existence and set the interest of the outsider lower than its own man prepared for a long time. You will therefore readily recognise, setting aside the question of race, that we have to overcome this point of view. Even at the present time our own laws are based on the supposition that the interests of the citizens of the States are higher than the interests of the rest of mankind; and it is not only in war that this idea is expressed, but, as for instance, in the case of protective tariff, which is of a national character, when we say we want to protect our own interests, the other interests do not concern us, so that obviously the same fundamental idea which prevailed in primitive times still exists at the present time. although it is less so. This same thing exists in the lower animals. A group of buffaloes will not allow a strange buffalo to join them. A pack of wolves which goes hunting together will not allow an outside wolf to join them. You may have heard of the dogs in Constantinople, who control certain streets and will not allow other dogs to enter their district. And if we look at the whole range of animals, the same thing is true. In other words, to my mind, we are dealing with a very fundamental instinct in man, which is very difficult to overcome intellectually. in so far as our instinct is always to set the interest of the group to which we belong higher than the interest of the whole community and mankind. We can see this nowadays in society very clearly. We take another instance, a gang of boys; there may be another gang of boys in the same district, and there is no difference in their interest, but one gang will not allow the other gang to interfere with what they are doing. so it does not matter what type, whether it be white or colored, one family or another family, there is always this peculiar hereditary trait in those who belong to a group. Breaking Up Class Distinctions. We have, therefore, to recognize in every particular case that we are dealing with a question in which individuals do not recognize that all members of mankind have the same rights, and so they set their little group higher than the rest of mankind. I think it is therefore clear that the whole question of class prejudice depends upon the question, "How far a certain group feel themselves as a unit higher than the rest of the population," and so long as this feeling of unity remains against the rest of the population, we are bound to have class prejudice and class hostility. The only way therefore to overcome a prejudice is to put up a class distinction. I think historically one of the best examples of this kind is the long struggles between the plebians and the patricians in Home. These were two different groups which by descent were the same. Here is a case where for centuries a struggle existed between the two groups who felt themselves completely distinct; WHY BE SICK! Go back to nature! Use Nature's greatest remedy — PROFESSOR J. H.

GO BACK TO COLLEGE! THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO RITUAL AND CATECHISM and the struggle did not end until the lines of demarcation were broken down. Now, what do we mean by the breaking down of a social group? We mean this; that a man should be taken as an individual and not simply as a representative of a particular kind of group to which we may assign him; and that the problem is to find means to do away with the feeling, so that class prejudice might be broken. It is very characteristic that the degree of cohesion actually determines the degrees of prejudice and the degree of antagonism that we do find. We take another example to illustrate the same point. When we consider the condition in Europe, we find: there is particularly a feeling against the Jew. It is, of course, also of the same character as any other kind of race or class prejudice. And here also the question is simply the question of the gradual breaking down of the class consciousness and the development of a feeling that each individual is to be taken by his individual value, and only in this way can we hope to actually overcome the conflicts. I think there is one very general observation that may be followed when we look at the matter from this point of view and I wish you would see that it is not only a question of consciousness of race in any particular case, as in the whites against the Negroes, but it is the same with the Negroes against the whites. In other words, the phenomena which is repeated here is found in Europe in regard to the Jews and Gentiles. As long as the Jews formed a unit and did not allow themselves to mix with the other class from a social point of view—individual friendships and contact outside of their group were not permissible—a strong class feeling perished; but when gradually the group feeling was broken down, when an effort was made to establish personal friendship and relations, the old established class lines were gradually overcome, the antagonism was overcome, which had previously existed for many centuries. And the same thing is true in every single case, whether class or race, that race prejudice can be overcome only by individual effort (and not be a joining together of a large group) to bridge the gap wherever it may be possible.

Poetry is to use a vague and elusive phantom which, on account of its very vagueness, baffles all efforts to describe it. According to Lamartine, "It is the enthusiasm of the man most devine in his heart who is more divine in his thoughts." But Madame de Sifalai affirms "It is indeed so divine in the heart of the man as to be almost indescribable." So that he is a pretty bold man who attempts to not only define poetry, but even to give as an example of true poetry what is after all but a banal and commonplace piece of imagination.

MARCUS GARVEY, PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA AND PRESIDENT GENERAL OF THE U. N. I. A. Supplementing the very recent distinguished visit which was paid to us by His Grace Dr. G. Alexander McGuire, our Chaplain Clausen, we were on Monday, 4th inst. furnished with telegraphic communication to the effect that we would again be favored with the presence of another distinguished visitor in the person of His Excellency the Hon. Marc Garvey on Friday, the 18th inst. and, of course, the necessary preparations were immediately started, several meetings being called in order to devise plans. Our local president theresupon proceeded to the junction and meet his hand on same with him accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Jacques, to Guantanamo. It was, however, decided to have the municipal band of this town to meet his Excellency at the railroad station in Guantanamo and to have a procession march to the Club Moncada, where the celebration should be performed, but unfortunately the band was unable to do, owing to the fact: that there intervened a funeral. It is understood, at which the band was summoned to play, thus rendering it impossible. However, a goodly number of the officers and members of the division, accompanied with the portrait of his Excellency as well as with banners, met his Excellency at the station, from which a procession proceeded to the junction and Excellency decided to initiate in a short roonse, having been slightly tired from his long traveling and from the effects of a slight attack of influence, which he expressed as having been caused from his coming from the cold climate of Cuba, but that he hoped to be quite all right again short. ```markdown ``` At 3 p.m. m. our local president, Mr. J. J. Henry, called the meeting to order. After a period of about two minutes his Excellency, accompanied by Mr. Henry, entered the hall, whereupon the entire audience stood in honor to his Excellency and the municipal band played the Cuban national anthem until his Excellency took his seat. This done, our local president asked, "What is your name?" The Ice Mountain" after which our local chapman, Mr. Bachelor, led the meeting in prayers. Our local president, Mr. Henry, here addressed the audience. He said, in part, "We have been hearing a lot about the Hon. Mr. Macrusy Garvey, and I am glad to tell that we now have the presence of this wonderful gentleman in our male role. Before his arrival we were at 300 strong, and if all these people who are sitting here tonight are a members we would feel proud of being loyal to the cause, and I hope all of you who are present tonight will realize from the presence of our wonderful here what the object of this move is and render all your assistance to help in every possible way. I know that the program is pretty lengthy, and as we are anxious to hear all the news from the sweet lines of his Excellency that he has brought for us, but take pleasure in calling upon our former president, Mr. Joseph Matthias, to address you." Mr. Matthias here said: "To His Excellency, the President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. "It is with pleasure that our eyes behold the great hero of the twentieth century. (Cheer.) I reviewed your history on that memorable night when you were appointed our leader, and that you did not hesitate to undertake the task to all possible efforts to restore Africa to a renewed ancient glory for the Negroes. You have pledged yourself to sacrifice your life, not selfishly but unselfish, to free four hundred million Negroes. I may not live to see Africa but I have a six-year-old son and hope that he will be able to see those beautiful shores of Africa. As I am naked not to be too lengthy, I hope, sir, that the God of Heaven may help you to accomplish your aim and that you will be successful in your undertaking and that your great deeds and writen upon your tombstone. Salute! Mr. Ernest Peterson here addressed the audience in Spanish in a very brilliant and fiery manner, which brought repetitions of cheers, especially from the Cubans, who, of course, fully understood all he said. Mr. J. Parrish next addressed the audience and relied on a recitation composed by himself concerning the race he respect. Some reads as follows: To extend the progranda of our V. 3.

And we can do it by adhering to the U. N. I. A. Mrs. Theodora Thomas, President of the Ladies' Division, next spoke. She said: "Never in my life have I had the joy which I now have in my heart. I have long been reading, I have long been hearing of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and now I have the pleasure of seeing this wonderful gentleman. Honorable sir, I greet you with all my heart. I do not believe that I may be mistaken when I say that you know me—not personally—but from the work which I have been doing in this movement. I wish you all the success that any man of honor should deserve the success of King George V. I am sure that you are filling the position that any king, lord or duke could fill. Never have we seen a movement of this sort and I know some of us do not yet realize the good of it.

A duet and chorus was next rendered by the choir, entitled "There is a Cry from Mascotonia. Come Ours and Help Us" (the writer presiding at the organ). This duet was composed of very appropriate words to suit the race, specially prepared by the choir. Mr. Daniel Richardson, executive secretary, said: "Your Excellency, Officers and Members of the University Negro Improvement Association: My heart is now filled with joy because I have seen, sir, you, the Provincial President of Africa, and am pleased to know you personally. This is really the time for us, the four hundred million Negroes of the world to do all that lies within our power to help the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. to achieve the desired end." Miss Lula Raymond, Secretary of the Cuban Auxiliary Division, next spoke and brought scores of applause. This young lady, as can be expressed by His Excellency, was excellent in her address, though he could not understand all she said, but conspicuously from her impression which stimulated the entire audience, especially the Cubans who readily understood her, was evidence for itself. She also showed a beautiful bunch of roses to His Excellency, who gratefully thanked her. Mr. John Danielle, one of our eloquent Spanish interpreters, here stood and shouted, three cheers for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, three cheers for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, viva Antonio Maco, viva Cuba, and viva la raza Negra. The Hon. Mr. Cunning here said: his Excellency, Mr. Chairman, officers and members, it affords me much pleasure to be present here with you tonight. Tonight we have with us our illustrious head, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. It should, therefore, give us that bright ambition which we should have. It should inspire us. He has not come here tonight to beg us any thing, he has not come here to beg us any thing, the importance of the great movement for, as I know him well, he is too proud to beg. It is for us to wake up out of our lethargy and push forward to that strong determination. Some of you have been like doubling Thumass, but I hope you will be conscious. from the presence of our President-General. The time has come for us to have a government for ourselves, the whites have their own governments, the yellows have their own, but there is really no proper government for the Negroes. He has appealed to you to give your assistance to establish our Negro Government in Africa. I do not know if you see the necessity as I see it. To me it seems as if every movement should seriously of this movement. Africa we shall follow is calling us, and if we shall follow the As is shown to us, we shall go through successfully. Ladies and gentlemen, what a pleasure it is for us to have our illustrious leader here with us tonight, and I must tell you, it may be the last time we may see him here, because he is a busy man.

Marcus Carvey Snook. Our local president here took pleasure in giving His Excellency his "full sawing," and the anxiety of the entire audience is self-explained, as everyone was uneasy to hear His Excellency's voice. Here he started and which was interpreted to Spanish by Mr. E. Peterson. "Mr. President, indian and gentleman, I am pleased, indeed, to be in this beautiful island of Cuba. I have been in this, your country, for about sixteen days, and from what I have seen, I can only say that you have a beautiful country to be admired by everyone. I am only sorry that I cannot speak your native language, but I hope on my next return to the island I will be able to converse with you in your language. I have come here, however, for the purpose of conveying to you a message from the Negro peoples of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that I have the honor to represent and endeavoring to organize all the Negro people of the world into one organisation. The fourth of this organization of the entire native hundred million Negroes of the world for the purpose of establishing a strong government of our own in Africa. In view of the fact that Cuban Negroes, like all other West Indian Negroes, were taken from Africa three hundred years ago, we believe that every Negro should be interested in a movement of this kind." He then continued in English only: "Mr. President, members and friends of the Guantanamo division: It is indeed, a pleasure for me to find myself in your midaf tonight. I have come to this your division, to speak to you for a white, and to tell you what we are endcavoring to do and what we want to accomplish in the near future. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, as you know, was organized in the United States of America four and a half years ago with thirteen members.

When I was leaving New York to visit the several branches on my sister's tour to the West Indies, I understood from the Executive Secretary that there are several branches in Cuba, and I asked him to give us the Guantanamo division. I understand that His Grace was here with you a few weeks ago, and that you received him very hospitably. During the convention of last year they elected nineteen leaders, and His Grace, theplain-Governor was amongst the leaders and also your humbla arriv. As you know, to be President of Africa is one of the biggest jobs in the world. They have given us the job to drive all the alienes of Africa and I alone, cannot go through the job, and that is why I have come to Guantanamo division to let you know that we will want you to enlist for the freedom of your motherhood. Africa, as you know, is the richest and most proficient country in the world. As American, Cuban, Jamaican, Haitian Negroes were never in existence three hundred years ago, it in therefore quite clear that we were all African Negroes that were brought to the United States of America and were kept there as slaves for two hundred and fifty years, and those who were sold to the West Indies were slaves for two hundred and thirty years. Some of us got our freedom through emancipation and some of us got our liberty by fighting for it. We have decided that in this age of human progress that has come for us to get together and ourselves that land that God Almighty gave to our forefathers. It is for purpose that I have come to visit your city. Guantanamo is a faraway place from America, but at the same time, wherever there are two or three that are gathered together in favor of the Negro Improvement Association, it is duty to come and visit you. I. is small enough for you in Guantanamo at this time to do your duty or this great and honorable cause, and I want you to realize that just at this time the world is reorganising itself. The war continued for nearly four and a half years, and in that war Russian men fought. Frenchmen fought, American men fought. They took two million Negroes from the West Indian islands to the United States, and promised all sorts of things. We have prived of our share of democracy, since we have deprived of our share of democracy, we have decided to fight for our democracy, and that is for Africa and that is why I am appealing to you to the map of Africa and took in the south you will find the English people.

I am not representing a social organization; I am representing a Negro improvement organization; and, sufficient you are a�, this organization is for you. Before, we were born West Indians before we were born American. Neighbors, we were brought from Africa. The U. K. L. A. I want to say to you that the work of the Negro Improvement Association has greatly advanced the improvement of the Negroes. Prior to this organization the other races had no respect whatever for the Negro race. In America they brushed and burned us, but since this organization has come into existence we have compiled every government to respect the Negroes, An Englishman will fight and die for the Union Jack of England, as an American will die for the Stars and Stripes of America, we, as Negroes, must live and die for the Bad, the Black and the Green, under which you can stand up at any time and any where and demand your rights. This is the sort of organization that I represent, and I want you to exert every sense, for there is no other movement in the world as programmed by the Association. Just funny, in three to four and a half years we have linked to four hundred million Negroes. There are some c" us who have lost courage and there are some who have lost hope, but I want you all to understand that there is a chance for every woman and child in the world. We do not want you . . . be coward. The Negro Improvement Association wants every Negro who will stand up for his rights and die for his rights.

What we want is, as English has a government of life own as France has a government of its own, the Nizozera want to have a government of their own, because you are most resistant, you are abused, all because of your color. I have traveled the world all over and I have come across Negroes who are ill-treated because they seek their rights. If the Negro is in England they have no respect for him; if he is in France, there is no respect for him, but if it is in an Englishman, and he goes anywhere he is respected because they know that behind him stands a great government. Just as an Englishman or a Frenchman can go anywhere and demand respect, why cannot a Negro travel the world over and demand from any man of the world the respect which is due to him as any other government? It will only be a question of time and we shall have a government of our own. We already sent out a large number of men to Liberia to lay out our railroads, build factories, etc., and we expect to send a greater number very shortly. God Almighty, when He created the world, did not intend any man to occupy any one operation in this; it has been a propaganda to keep you down all these 360 years. God Almighty created you to be men and not to be heaves of wood, as the white man expects you to be the days of your life. A white man says that slaves are not slaves, but that slaves are not slaves. Love tonight who is the most beautiful woman in the world, he would tell you or take out a white woman and say she is the most beautiful woman in the world; if you want to go to China and ask a Chinese man, point out the most beautiful woman in the world, he would pick out a Chinese woman, but if you go to a Negro and ask him who is the most beautiful woman in the world he would at least pick out a white woman. You intend to love yourself first and love others last; you are the strongest case of people in the world, therefore we all cling together, and thus the stream that I have come before you have Giantanimo is to ask you to help me in New York to uplift and protect race. The Black Star Line. I have seen many Negroes who have been installed by other nations and the government refused to take up their duties that, they are not paid to protect Negroes but, to protect Englishmen. All other nations have arms and battalions etc.; we want our own battalions too. We have built up a greater Star Lina? Twenty months ago, as you the Negroes had no ships, but now we have four ships. The first one was bought by us two months after we organised, and which is called the Fredrick Douglass, or otherwise the Yarmouth. The Yarmouth goes to Yarmouth, comes to Cuba, and the United States. Since we have floated the Yarmouth, we have floated three more Oceans called after. Urban general manager, Antonio Moco, and when I have leave an Sunday morning for San Juan, I shall bear the Antonio Moco the companion, Jamaica. On the two-night visit which we shall launch the month with which we will sell from New York to Liberia. We will buy ships, we will buy Narris ships, as they are able to carry Negroes to any part of the world. When you are going to leave Cuba we want you to leave in no other ships but the steamships of the Black Star Lina. You will be better better, better facilitated on your own steamships. Black captains, black crew, in the next five years we expect of have fifty ships. If you are going to China, or anywhere, you will go on a ship of the Black Star Lina. Ann ladies and gentlemen, you can expect to do this except you have readily. You can buy shapers you are going away your money to ensure in any other donation, you are receiving your money in a concern which will be of great benefit to you. We are going to get up every morning on ships and work from January to April as your object to work all the days we need life you will be working and come out and, still we are working and allow it to work and work and allow it to work. In Hortonville, now they have started out as a peek boy, you have been and offer, he worked for a business and worked his money, he increased his time, and now he is sitting on his brow and his money is still increasing him. He could never work his money, which he possesses, because he knew his bites that we were familiar and all the, western Negroes had hard up bananas, the eastern Negroes had hard up yawr the southern Negroes had hard up bananas, and of away year the northern Negroes had hard up bananas, are divided up. that money and getting enormous profits off it, he gives you 8 per cent interest. At the close of this meeting I would like to see as many of you as possible coming forward to buy shares in the Construction Loan and also in the Star Line. I am only sorry that from the cold which I have had for the last few days, I am unable to speak to you in the manner I would like to but tomorrow night I hope to be able to speak to you on the battle cry. If you have $100 in the bank draw $50 and buy shares in the Black Star Line and the Liberia Construction Loan. The meeting here came to a close, after His Excellency having spoken for fully one hour and fifty-five minutes, with prayer by our local chaplain at 11:38. Saturday's Meeting. On Saturday the 19th, the meeting started with the singing of our National Anthon and prayer by our local address by our president, as below: To His Excellency, Officers, Members and Friends: This evening we meet again for the occasion of the race and to hear all the interesting words from our President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Last night he told us of the Black Star Line Construction and the Libarian Construction Loan and tonight he has promised to tell us about the battle cry. I am sorry to say that since he came to Cuba he has not been in the best of health. Today he had a slight walk around the town and after he came back he had to go to bed: therefore this evening he is not feeling very well, but being a hero as he is, he has forced himself to speak to us, and we must be still and listen to all that he has to say. He has asked us to assist in order that the association can buy big ship; as it is now there is a ship lying in the harbor at Santiago and which does not belong to any other person that the Negro race, and I hope that we all do not come here only for the purpose of giving addresses but that you have come prepared to buy as many shares as you and endeavor to do everything we need to support this wonderful gentleman to bring this movement to a desired success. If any of us should go to a white man's shipping office and ask for a first-class passage, the first thing that is told to you is, there are no berths, neither first nor second, and of course you have to either accept deck or be disappointed, even though you may have your delicate family to take home or anywhere. I beg to impress it upon you all to give all the support you can to insure our future benefits. Mr. Ernest Peterson, Second Vice-President, here said in part: His Excellency, Offers and Friend, I assume it a very great privilege and pleasure to be able to address you tonight on the subject of appealing to the entire members of the Negro Improvement Association in Cuba (of course our making it known to the other divisions in some way) to and/or to accumulate a sum of money in order that we could purchase a ship independently for all the divisions in Cuba, and name that ship "The Cuba." I feel sure that it would not run over $800,000 to buy that ship and also feel sure that it could easily be done, as the people in Cuba have money. If we named it after any one individual it would not represent the entire amount of branches in Cuba, but if we name it "The Cuba" then it would be more appropriate. Now I am asking every man, woman and to try and subscribe at least one dollar in the Black Star Line for this purpose. It does not mean that you should start right in at once, but I want every member of this association in Cuba to subscribe for the purpose of purchasing a ship. I know that though His Excellency remains here silent he is just in accord with me. We do not want anybody else to tell us that the "Garvey System" is a fake. If a man were taking, I do not believe he would come of a sick bed to address a group of people; he is not looking for anything for himself, he is looking for the benefits for himself, he is looking for the entire race. The majority of us believe that as we become members of the Black Star Line Association we are eligible to the benefits of the entire association. The only way that you will be is when you put your hands down into your pockets and buy even one share at $1. We are in the primera class, as the Hon. Dr. McQuire stated, and I want everybody to realise that we are in the primera class. I do not want Preston, Bates nor any other place to be above us and therefore I want to be above all possible of you pushing forward toward the secretary and piling your hands on the table. Mr. Peterson here left our speaking English and spoke in Spanish for the benefit of the Cuban audience. A song was rendered by Mise A. Moncrieff, enlisted "With Four Hundred-Million Men. We Will Flight for Liberty." After which Mr. J. Hillhouse addressed the audience in an able manner. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATU LAY, AFRIL 16, 1921 Are You Satisfied with Your Present Position?

After the following speakers had addressed the audience our president introduced Lite Excellency in the same manner as the night before: Mr. Alex. Charles, Miss E. Glossemb, Chaplain Bacchar, Mrs. Sponsper and Mr. A. Fredericka. These people, as usual aroused the enthusiasm of the entire crowd and did bring down the house with cheers. Marsus Garvey Speaks His Excellency here commenced at 9:10 p. m. and spoke for fully two hours and forty minutes, lasting until 11:50 p. m. Mr. president, members and friends of the Guantanamo division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As you know, I am suffering from a bad cold I contracted in Kuy West caused by coming from the northern climate into this warm one. Nevertheless, I promised you last night that I would speak to you in detail tonight regarding the association. I have been to your city and I have watched you very keenly, notwithstanding your obligation in your work, but those of you who are Cubana, and those of you who are Haitians and Jamaicans, as Negroes you have been trying every effort that every other division of the race could put forth. It is for me to tell you that this race of ours is still enslaved. We are enslaved industrially, economically and in every way today. We are regarded as industrial slaves. Whatever you go amongst the Negroes. all parts of the world you will find that we are trampled in every way, if it is in the West Indies or also Negroes occupy the most mental positions in the world, and this Negro improvement is trying to relieve us from this mean position that we now occupy. So long as you have one-sixteenth of Negro blood in your veins you are regarded as a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We do not care where you were born—if you were born in the West Indies, if you were born in Cuba, you must understand that you were originally born in Africa and were taken slaves and brought into Jamaica, etc., and it is only a case of accident, and I want you to understand that you will have to be born again as a true born African. I look at it that whatever is your destiny it is my destiny and also look upon it that if I fall you will fall and if I rise you will rise. We are all of the same race, if we go to the United States and you suffer, I will suffer also. If we go to England and you suffer I will suffer also. We must uplift this organization and I want you to realize the seriousness of this movement. It is not a religion, it is not a doctrine of new faith I am preaching to you—I will come to tell you of my determination to race. This particular material world in which we live is reorganizing itself. If a man has a business and it is not paying he will reorganize his staff and put in a new staff to try to build up a fresh trade, and therefore we want you to prepare to reorganize. God Almighty has kept and preserved Africa for us these many years, and Ethiopia is stretching forth its hands to you and I and every other Negro, some of you may regard it as an idle joke and some of you may regard it as an idle problem, but you will realize the seriousness of it later on. There are some people who say it is only but dreamed but out of the dream has come four hundred million souls, out of this dream has come seven hundred branches of this association and out of this dream shall come a free and independent Africa. This organization is made up of a determined nature. Courage and Faith. The Negro race has been in contact with the white man for over three hundred years, and with all the brutal treatment instead of decreasing in number we have increased to four hundred million, and now Ethiopia is stretching forth its hands for us to come and claim our promised land, and therefore I am here to encourage you, as many of you have lost courage and faith. Many of us have lost confidence in ourselves. If you travel to any part of the world you are kept down to the lowest degree just because your skin is black and I want to tell you that this world belongs as much to you as to any other race and that you have as much to exist in this world as any of the other races; that you Negroes made up of the Universal Negro Improvement Association expect as much out of the world as any white man expects out of it. The white man expects the right to rule and dominate, the yellow man expects the right to rule and dominate and the black man expects the right to rule and dominate also, it is a question that Negroes must find a home of our own. We have pledged our lives and our money and we expect that the world must yield to what it yields to the white man. As a black man I am not out to fight for anything that belongs to the white man, but I am out to fight and prepared to die for anything that belongs to me. I am not here to preach against anything against the whites over the queas- Guantanamo Division No. 164 of the N. I. A. I. A. A. C. L. DR. EASON AND DR. GRANDISON MEET WITH SUCCESS IN CINCINNATI Friday night was a great time for the U. N. I. A. in Cincinnati. It was political night, and the crowd was so great that shortly after 8 o'clock the doors had to be closed. The Cincinnati Enquirer said that twice as many were turned up as co-workers building. For the first time since the present drive a reporter was on hand. The association brought out and indented a Negro for Councilman for the Eighteenth ward, Mr. Horace Sudduth, a real estate dealer, a man of substance, ability and character. At the beginning of the meeting he paid his dollar and put on the red, black and green button. Fifty-one new members were taken in. His Excellency Dr. J. W. H. Eason was at his best in setting forth the objects and aims of the association, and Dr. C. N. Grandison, the "Daddy Rabbit," lived up to his old-time reputation in seconding the resolution indorsing the candidacy of Mr. Sudduth and in his plea for self-determination for the Negro anywhere and everywhere he is in the majority. Special meetings are scheduled for the last ten days of the campaign, and the goal is 2,000 members for the Cincinnati division. People who a month ago were looking upon the movement with contempt and hostility are now sitting up and taking notice. It has become the town talk. Persons wearing the emblem of the association may be seen in all parts of the city and manifesting a kindred spirit and interest. Sunday afternoon. April 3, was another great day. The crowd was the biggest Sunday afternoon crowd we have had yet, and next Sunday afternoon promises a still larger turnout. The division here now, numbers more than 1,400 members. And still they come. Now for a parting word for the chief visiting workers. His Excellency Dr. Eason, has a wonderful endowment of endurance, resourcefulness and platform ability. I know of no young man who surpasses him in these respects. Let us all pray that his life may long be spared 'o the association and that he may never listen to the seductive voice of any subconscious, sinister sentiment that might mar the symmetry of a beautiful, generous and noble character. Mr. Frederagst is a young man of a thousand, thoroughly competent and efficient, withal courteous gentleness and dignified in his bearing. A bright future is in store for him. Keep your eyes on him. As to Dr. Grandison, he, too, is well known and his reputation is well established to require any encomium at my hand. This is the last communication you will receive from me here. From another client, you receive a few lotions and it may be that you will get a write-up from me of the installation to be in Washington on April 25. CHALESK G. LENNOS. DR. J. W. H. EASON AROUSES ENTHUSIASM IN GEORGIA. Dr. Eason arrived in the little city of Brunswick by the sea on Jan. 31, and was greeted by this division. He created a series of meetings at Palmes Chapel, of which Rev B. W. Jones is pastor. The people of this section were fed with many good things that fell from the lips of the greatest orator and preacher of his time. Each night the crowd gathered—too numerous to mention—and the church was filled to overflowing by the man whom we believe God sent to gather this race of ours into one solid band to free our motherland, Africa. He has raised the standard of this division, its membership numbers 700, and sold over $200 worth of stock. He visited M. Olive Baptist Church, of which Rev. E. J Rozell is pastor. A special mass meeting was held at Shiloh Baptist Church of which Rev. S. C. Roberts is pastor. Over 1,000 thrombed to hear the great message. He impressed his hearers with the importance of uniting with the U. N. L. A. and buying shares in the Black Star Line and Universal Construction Loan. He also visited Brookman with much success. God bless our president. His Excellency Marcus Garvey May he live to accomplish this great aim—the freedom of Africa. We feel assured that before many days there will be a thousand in our division wearing the red, black and green. Mr. Pendergast, secretary of the U. N. I. A., spoke on the subject, "Man, a Wonderful Being." He proved to his hearers that the Negro has as much right to possess the things of this world as any other race. H. F. PARLAN, Brunswick, Ga. PROF. PENDERGRAS Wednesday, March 2, 1921.—Dr. J. W. H. Eason, the elected leader for the American Negro was scheduled to speak to his people of Boxley and its community. On account of a speedy business call to Washington, D. C., he could not get here, but sent his secretary, Prof. W. O. Pendergast, and Rev. F. W. Ware of Brunswick, Ga., the state organizer, to speak for us. The meeting was held in Harper's Chapel M. E. Church, Rev. D. L. Clark, pastor, was master of ceremonies. The opening song was hymn No. 655. "From Greenland's Icy Mountain" Prayer was lead by Prof. W. A. Pendergast, followed by the chanting of the Lord's prayer. Then the melody "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" was Mina J. A. Bell. The choir joined in the chorus. Then Rev. J. W. Williams of this town gave a five minutes' talk, after which a beautiful solo and chorus was rendered by Mrs. Laura Bells and the choir, "He Is Mine." Rev. J. H. Williams of the Pineleaf community, gave a five minutes' talk which was also aply and interning. A duet was then sung by Mrs. Alrico B. McNeal and Mrs. Mahala Thomas. "Keep on Praying," after which Prof E. H. Hall, principal of the city school, gave a brief but interesting address. Rev. D. I. Clarke then delivered the welcome address in his usual but eloquent way. Rev. Ware then introduced Prof. W. A. Pendergras amid great applause. He then gave a historical sketch of the rolling hills of the Dr. Marcuss Garrard and how the I. N. I. A has spread in two and one-half years. He explained the meaning of our colors, red, black and green, and urged our men to prepare themselves for the arousing times before us. Prepare to stand for the rights and justice for all mankind. In speaking of Africa, he said, in part: "We do not expect all our people to go to Africa. Of course, it is a rich country, but all cannot go. Some must stay here to carry on trade with Africa, but we want prepared men and women to go as ploneers, to build up and establish commercial enterprises." His lecture was full of useful information, and filled the audience with an inspiration to go forward and unite as men. Cheers and tears interpersed the splendid address. The "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was then sung by the choir. Prof. Pendergast then introduced Rev. F. W. Ware, the State organizer. Rev. Ware, in his amusing way, delivered a lecture that will be long remembered. Being a Southern man he knows just what it takes to draw the attention of our people here and to "strike while the iron is hot." The lecture was a wonderful one and very beneficial. He urged every Negro to join the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. He made it clear that "united we stand and divided we fall." Mrs. Eva. Singer, organist; Mr. C. L. Halton, president; J. A. H. Halton, secretary and reporter. where a good-sized audience awed them. The Rev. H. K. Spearman spotted very sympathetically of the movement and urged the representatives to explain the aims and objects to them. Although the principal speaker was absent, the audience was kept spellbound by President R. P. Aunts of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Vire-Persident W. H. Williams and the Newark U. N. A. B. Aand, under the leadership of Prof. Fred Reynold and Mrs. R. Jones, president. On Tuesday they meet at St John's M. E. Church, where it was heartily welcomed by Mr. H Henry representing Rev. Hubbard. The audience was electrified by the eloquence of Mr. John O'Loughlin, president, and Mr. R. D. Thompson. On Wednesday evening the climax was reached at the New Hope Baptist Church, where the church was filled to its capacity. The Newark *N.* I. L. A. Band the *Bloc Cros Nurse*, the Universal Legions in their uniforms and His Grace the Chapel General Dr George A. McGuire were present, and were the outstanding feature of the evening. Rev Fields, representing the pastor, welcomed the organization and wish it suc ceas. Dr T. H. Wright, who has been with the division for the last nine months and is the instructor of the Black Cross Nurse, was the first speaker. The band was at its best and rendered some beautiful selections, which were received with cooferous applause. The president John O'Loughlin, then introduced Chapman General Dr George Alexander McGuire, who was given a hearty welcome. He spoke very highly of the Newark U. N. A. Band and said in all his travels through the West Indies, America and England he has never heard a band play the celebrated march, "Onward, Christian Soldier" better, as well as other selections. He then spoke of the wonderful success the organization had made throughout the world, and emphasized the necessity of the Negroes uniting themselves and working together for their common good. Thursday evening a larger crowd awaited them at St Luke's A M. E. Church, where Chapman General Dr McGuire made a strong appeal for Liberty loans and Black Star Line shares, to which the members responded nobly on Friday and Sunday evening, they met in the division meeting place, where a record-breaking meeting was held.

THE U. N. I. A. IN HARTFORD, CONN. Our Sunday meeting opened, in usual with song by choir and prayer by our chaplain. We are still forging ahead against the great odds that we are against us. Our president, Mr. Wilson, is a fighting man, that is, he is doing all within his power to have the people learn race pride. The one great thing Branch 74 is proud of is that it has a band which we are not ashamed to own as good as any barring none. Our band, led by Mr. Taylor, played many selections, for which they are many and many applauded. Our band is the talk of the city. To our surprise our lady president Mrs. Johnson, walked in during our meeting and gave many splendid remarks for which she is well noted. In the near future we hope to have some of the masters join our gathering. Miss Elizabeth Dowden rendered us a solo. We remain, yours respectfully, BRANCH 74, Hartford, Conn. Reporter G. L. U. N. I. A. DPIVE SUCCESSFUL IN NEWARK The series of mass meetings that was staged in Newark by the Newark dilation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the entire past week added a good many more members to the roll. The Negro of Newark are no less economically towards the movement than those at the world where the organization has a great stronghold. The organization was heartily welcomed by the pastors, representatives and members of the various churches. On Monday evening they met at St. James A M E. Church, Mt. Olive Baptist Church, where it was given a hearty welcome by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Fleming. The church was filled to capacity all the seats, aides and vacant places being occupied and undreds to gain admiration. Mrs. G. Stevens rendered two beautiful songs, which brought the audience to its feet. Addresses were delivered by Understaff James H. Becket and Vice-President W. H. Williams. Thus the drive ended with another big victory for the organization and its founder and leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. On Sunday, April 18 at 3 p.m. the division will hold its annual sermon at St James A. M. E. Church, Union and Hamilton streets. A REPORTER. THE U. N. L. A., KEY WEST, FLA.

After the three men got through speaking (twenty new men joined the N I N A. The people shouted "No other association for us!" THE U. N. I. A. IN SANTA MARTA. March 26, 1921—On Sunday (13th inst.) Prof A. Vidal of the U N I A Toronto, Canada's branch, paid us a visit Mr Vidal stayed for some time in Barranquilla, where he went to see his mother, and it was on his way back that he came to see us. White in Barranquilla Mr Vidal organized a branch of the U N I A. there, of which, through a report appearing in your columns we know that you are already well aware. On his landing in Santa Marta, Mr Vidal was met by a deputation of this branch headed by our President, Mr Joseph Moor, and from the dock was escorted to the home of Mr James Grant an active member of this branch. After a brief stay at Mr Grants the professor was taken to the Santa Marta Gospel Mission, which is our present meeting place. There our distinguished visitor was introduced to several members, all of whom were pleased to meet him. Mrs H Cornelius and Mrs W J Mortimer very tastefully decorated the hall with flowers and plants and they deserve praise for the proper arrangements. Our colors float in many parts of the building. The same evening our venerable Pastor and Chaplain Rev H. D. Lynch opened service with hymn "Onward, Christian Solider." He then read psalm 153 and on his invitation a prayer was offered by a Columbian brother. We then sang "Fight the Good Fight. After this our Chaplain gave the meeting over to our President who in a few remarks introduced Prof. Holl as a representative of the Hop. Marcuss (serve) The professor expressed great pleasure in being with us, explained the work he and others had done in Baranquillo, and gave us the benefit of his experiences while travelling. Mr. Vidal told us of the inconvenience the colored man endures on board the white man, and the indignities he must suffer the scaff and open insults that are launched at him. He spoke with much force and pressed home the necessity of cutting and the effect our doing so will have, and made us feel as never before we had felt that it was the duty of every member of our race to assist the U N I A. and A C L in one form or other. He quite filled us with pride and we may truly say that his being among us may be likened to showers of rain on withered plants. ```markdown ``` On Monday, 19th inst. Our meeting was called to order at 7.30 We opened by singing our national anthem, "Ethiopia, Thou Lord of Our Fathers." The Chaplain then said prayer and as on the previous evening the President introduced as chairman of the evening the Chaplain who in turn introduced Prof. A. Vidal. As on the evening before, Mr. Vidal held the house with his very interesting discourse. He explained what our colors represented and gave an elaborate and well-defined reason for each of the words in the title "Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League." The President, in the name of the association, then moved a vote of thanks to Prof. A Vidal. The house on its feet sang "God Be With Us Till We Meet Again." The President, Chaplain, Mr. Mortimer and some other members gave Prof. Vidul little presents as token of their appreciation, love and esteem. Thanking you for space, Sir, I beg to subscribe myself.

LOUIS A GREAT SUCCESS The people of St. Louis were given a treat last Sunday afternoon which made many people wonder after all if this Universal Negro Improvement Association were not truly the salvation of the Nostros. The program having been arranged by the Lady President, Mrs. Harding, was impressively conducted, much to the pleasure of the auditoria, who numbered about 1,800, with many joining. The choir rendered beautiful selectiona, Mr. Garland Winston a fine solo, Mrs. Winston Castleberry and Mr. Garland Winston a dote, also two juveniles, who sang. "You may talk about your George Washington and Lincoln, but Marcus Garvey is the best for us." These two children were very impressive, for they did not seem over five years of age, but their acting was just as though they were over twenty. The Captain of East St. Louis, also the Captain of St. Louis Black Cross Nurses made very interesting 'emarka much to the approval of the hearers. Mr W G. Thompson, president of St. Louis Division, is indeed a very energetic worker for the cause, and his most forceful talks brought the hearers to their feet time and again he spoke on the Negro's troubles and what the Universal Negro Improvement Association means to the Negros at this time. He truthfully seemed to be the right man in the right place. Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, superintendent of the Field Corps, in his usual manner spoke on the U. N. I. A. an its subsidiaries, the Black Star Lini and the Negro Factories Corporation; also on the Universal Negro Improvement Association's Construction Loan for Liberia. The honorable gentleman said in part, "I have informed people who desire to break down anything started by Negroes to see me first before you attempt to break down this movement, for it is here to stay and increasing all along, and is indeed a stone wall, impenetrable and will withstand any criticism, for, despite all opposition in St. Louis, it has succeeded well and will further increase in membership. "I further challenge any critic, anywhere and at any time to meet them on discussions of the U. N. I. A. and the best man will be known." This was received with enthusiastic applause and many joined. A MESS'GE FROM BANES- ORIENTE, CUBA. Editor Negro World Dear Sir: Permit me a little space in one of the columns of your valuables paper for the insertion of this letter. We of the Banes division send greetings to you and your associates for the marvelous work The Negro World, edited by you, is accomplishing. You do not often hear from us, but at this juncture we cannot help making our brethren know throughout the world the wonderful strides we are making. The Chaplain General's visit has electrified the entire community. Banes was taken by storm by the presence of this notable personage, this learned doctor, this prince of the race. His every word was inspiring, educating and uplifting. For five nights Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost capacity. Since this visit our numbers are scoring by leaps and bounds. Dear Sir, we are glad of this fact, that the most intelligent people of the community are all earnest, active members of the U. N. L. A. Having passed our 800 mark, and seeing the 400 in view, we have accordingly elected our honorable advisory board, consisting of twenty-five men, true race men. In this division, sir, you will find mon in all walks of life, men of the medical profession, engineer, tradesmen, mechanics, and others, all united, standing firm, with one watch-word. "A free and redeemed Africa." willing, if need be, to make the supreme sacrifice, even the shedding of their life blood. We are glad to be living in an age like this. Our Black Cross nurses have also been formed, and are under training by their efficient leader, Mra. H. A. Collins, whose husband is our worthy executive secretary. In the absence of the president, Mr. A. J. Burrell, the leadership has fallen on the shoulders of our enthusiastic first vice-president, Mr. Egbert Newton. Honor to whom honor is due. In this man is embodied the attributes of a leader, a stately figure, a wonderful delivery, a wise counselor, coupled with a clear vision. Such are the leaders that the Hon. Marous Garvey needs. May they be favored with a long life to carry on this glorious work until our goal is reached. Thanking you for space, I am very respectfully yours. ROBERT S. P. BLAKE, Acting Chaplain, Barnes Div. The Unveiling of the Charter of Montego Bay Division of the U. N. L A. A very pleasant afternoon was spent with the members of the Monito Bay division of the U. M. I. A. on Sunday, March 13, when their charter was unveiled before a large and attentive audience at the First Baptist Lecture Hall. At 1:24, they having gathered at their Liberty Hall, on Barnet street, headed by the Monito Bay Citizen's Association Band, they marched in double file towards the chapel. As the procession wended its way down Barnet street and St. James' street, to the pavilion then on Market street towards the hall, they could see the crowds assembling and gaving on with rapt wonder alike in surprise engaged with applause. At the hall the flag of red THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1921 black and green could be seen flapping in the air, whilst on the left breast of each member a button of the same colors was worn. Precisely at P. M. the meeting was opened with the opening hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," followed by prayers by Mr. E. R. Johnson. The President then gave a hearty welcome to all, and in very fitting style introduced the Chairman for the afternoon, Mr. Enzo Jarrett, the teacher of the Government School. These opening remarks were all that was expected from one held in the high esteem in which he is held in this community. There was much food for thought for young and old in all that he said. After reading of the Scriptures by Messra W. J. Anglin and H. P. Welsh, an account of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its work was given by W. J. McDonald, a report of the Montego Bay division was given by the secretary, a recitation, "The Good Time Coming," by Master Ellis Levy, then a beautiful address on "Unity" was given by Mr. H. B. Green, of Kingston from Psalm, 133:1. "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in Unity." During the intervals and whilst the collection was being taken the choir did their best at entertaining the audience with sacred songs and solo, but the closing and most touching scene was the unwelling ceremony. In an easel the charter was placed covered with white velling, whilst two little girls, dressed in white, were placed at the sides, were placed at the front of the chair. The president forward and at the given signal, the girls throw aside the veil exposing the charter to the Mr Hubev Evans then took it and read to the audience, then passed it to the chairman for inspection. Two armor bearers, in soldiery style, next took it as their charge, standing before the audience, whilst Master W. E. Welsh, the little nino-year-old son of the President, recited, in grand style, Ethiopia's national anthem. All the members then rose and sang it justly. The chairman then made his closing remarks and the President moved a vote of thanks on behalf of the appreciative audience, and all who in anyway helped to make the meeting a success. On behalf of the chairman who is soon to leave this field of labor to take charge of the Mico Practicing School in Kingston the congregation was asked to join in singing "God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again." After closing with prayer they again formed in double file, headed by the band playing "Onward Christian Soldiers." On reaching their hall the band played "God Savo the King," and thus ended one of the most enjoyable evening's entertainment and a most successful event on the part of this newly-formed association. Their aim was to form a favorable impression on the minds of the community and no doubt they succeeded. The following is a poem composed on the unveiling of our charter by H. P. Welsh.

The Negro World: Dear al: I presume by the time this letter reaches your office the secretary has written you concerning the increase of The Negro World from fifty copies to seventy-five. We were sorry that we had to decrease our number, but times were hard and the Negro man were losing their jobs and the people didn't buy the paper very readily. Most of our men work on the railroad, in packing plants and coal mines, and, as they are going back to work, they have begun to buy the papers again. We are also getting calls from the country districts for papers. I believe by the first of March that we will be back to our old number, one hundred, again. THE U. N. L A.—ITS AIM OBJECTS AND PURPOSES Editor Negro World: Sir- Inquiries continue to pour in from every part of the world in regard to the aims, objects and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are glad to be able to record that these inquiries are characterised by a whole-hearted desire to obtain useful knowledge of what this organization stands for and what, in the last stage, it proposes to accomplish. It is indeed surprising to ind that there are still literate Negroes in the United States of America and in the near Caribbean, who are still unacquainted with the aims, objects and purposes of this, the greatest endeavor in the history of the Negro race since emancipation; but we feel a corp悬ing glow if pleasure at the awakening which, even if tardy, has come to those who would now be informed of "the destination to which the good ship the U. N. I. A. will bear them onwards, when the Time of Embararkation arrives. The Lesson of Our Growth. No one who has watched the growth of this Association from an auspicious thirteen who nearly two and a half years ago responded to the rallying call of His Excellency the Hea. Marcus Garvey to an organization numbering over 4,000,000 members and sympathizers can have failed to realize that here is a body whose growth will not be retarded either by the pique and jealousy of the purblind or by the "B. C" tactic of fearful Colonial Governments. The former, dismayed by the grandeur of the undertaking and jealousy of its promise of success, profess to believe that the goal cannot be reached; the latter elimin at keeping closed the eyes of Negroes already under their sway, fashion outrageous laws, designed to hinder the spread of the Garvey gospel. What We Will Achieve. The Universal Negro Improvement Association aims at giving the Negro his rightful place in the sun. It makes appeal to every man, woman and child of Negro origin to discover Soil.

It is really too bad we can't just sit down and have a nice little heart-to-heart chat about the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. You know we can understand each other so much better when we talk to each other directly. Type seems cold. But since we can't talk it over face to face, just sit right down, read, this over carefully and imagine that we are talking to you face to face. THE NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION As you perhaps already know, is organized to build, own and operate factories all over the United States, the West Indies, Central and South America, in the interest of Negroes for Negroes and to be run wholly by Negroes. Now such a program must appeal to every Negro. Why should it? When those factories are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given any number of Negroes and remember they will not be confined to manual jobs. Of course, you understand that there is no disgrace in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerics, stenographers, managers, superintendents and so on. will be available when we have all put our shoulders to the wheel and put up these factors. There is what you can help. When we say "Let's Go" we mean let's all pool our monies and create these factors. What pooling our mounies will do and how effective it is, we would like to have you, take a walk in the West 142d Street. Perhaps you are too far away to walk up there. Anyway, we are operating a deep-class steam laundry at that address. There are any number of Negroes employed there—mangiers, pressors, ironers, etc., turning out plenty of work for Negroes. Then if you could take a walk around the street to Lenox Ave. and 141st Street, you would see there a first-class military store, and his factory, with any number of colored ladies engaged in the manufacture of hats, trimmings, etc.—all of them colored from the fordly to the arrand girl. These two concerns are owned and operated by THE MEDRO FACTORIES CORPORATION. But they show what we can do when we all put our shoulders to the wheel. Now, just suppose, even Negro in the World bought at least one share in the Negro Factories Corporation! Don't you realize what that would mean? Why, we would be putting up these factories in quick time and our racial ambition would be realized; our financial status would be improved; the investment would bear fruit. Why, we could go on to enumerate all the benefits you yourself and the race as a whole derive. But since you too have vision and are ambitious we know that you have already visualized them. is the prospect of our ambition, it is our birthright. It proves our worth and our position.

It aims at building up a Negro Nation that will command the respect of the rest of the world. It aims at securing social, industrial and racial independence and recovering for the race its ancient prestige and unity, and building upon this. It has for its object, too, the financial, economic and moral betterment of the many millions of the race. It stands for IMPROVEMENT, and improvement can come only along the path of Unity and Industry. It aims at the establishment of a government of, for and by the Negro in the motherland, Africa. Huntina a Mirapa Unfortunately, there are still to be found persons of Negrold origin in various parts of the world who tend to a mortal dread of the bidding, "Go back to Africa." Western civilization holds them enthralled. They prefer to continue to ape the manners and customs of the Caucasian, telling themselves that by affliction of time their social condition will approximate to that of the white race. They trust to Father Time to break down the barriers of segregation and discrimination which have been reared against them. "We are better than we were fifty years ago," say they, and reason: "Fifty years hence we will have improved still more." The U. N. L.

This great organization now has recognized flag, the colors being the black, the Black and the Green. The red is emblematic of the richness of the blood; the Black grumbles the millions of Negroes scattered throughout the globe; the Green is designed to keep before the mind's eye Africa verdant fields. The alma, object, and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not have been fully achieved until every member of the race considers it a request not to wear on the breast the button design of these colors. The indications now, as we enter upon the second quarter of the year, is that 1921 will be a very successful year, and we fervently hope that the interest that is being manifested will continue so to grow as to make the fulfilment of our aims even speedier than the mostanguine can desire. 86 West 128th St., New York City The Ethiopian Club of Chicago met in regular session and was largely attended. One of the main features of the evening, was a speech delivered to us in bifth of the U. N. I. A. by one of our city teachers, Mrs. Geraldine P Smith. She succeeded in convincing some that the U. N. I. A. is the only remedy for the Negro problem. Mrs. Smith's Guests Madam President, officers members and friends of the Ethiopian Club: I count this as one of the happiest moments of my life, as well as a privilege to you in behalf of the greatest organization in the world which represents the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. The great cause which I represent is the one great cause that should be uppermost in the hearts of all patriotic, conscientious Negroes. The day has come, my grandma, when the Negro peoples of the world must awake from their slumber and do for themselves. A few years ago God called Marousa Garvey and gave him the places whereby we shall take our places in the world not only as a race, but as a nation. And yet, the Negro peoples of the world, from hundred millions strong, with one God, one aim and one destiny, are going to see to it that the plans are carried out. In 1618 the first ship of Negro slaves were landed in Virginia from Africa. We have been here serving the white man three hundred and two years. In 1818 we were enamelled, but the fifty-eight years of the so-called freedom is not the kind that we want and we are going to have that freedom that every other race possesses or dies fighting. Africa is our God-given home and we are going back there and possess it. The main task is trying to keep us away Africa by showing us the dark side, telling us about the cannibals, etc., but we are letting him know that we are on the job, and if he can go there and live, why can't we? Africa is the second continent in size and the richest country in the world. The soil is fertile, vegetables and fruits of all kinds flourish the year round. Half the world's gold, two thirds of its ivory, 99 per cent of its diamonds, a large share of its suburban coffee in abundance and more, except than any other continent obtained from Africa. Shall we reclaim Africa? We all say yes, but the only way that we can redeem our land is by uniting our forces and joining the U. M. I. A. what we have a government and a country of our own. We are tired of education, race prejudice, bribbing and theocracy. If we want to be free we must unite ourselves, work together, and our money together and fight together. "Why stand we have idle!" This must be seduced and our flag, our red, black and green, must float for the moment. As for still, give me liberty or give me death. MISS CONSTANCE BAKER. Secretary. Agrirr—Thanking you for the space given in your valuable paper, I vantage to say that never in the English history of Dance was there such well-written as when on Thursday, the third of March, it was announced that the Honorable Marcus Garvay had abolished Dance. Not only were our guests waiting to have a look at the third of the hour, but also these of the older race. We had the pleasure of hosting the great Theatre Herodia, where he featured in such simple but beautiful works as never a man of our time his dome. No wonder, air, that the movement is so rapidly progressed when we have such a man in our hands. Perhaps to say, air, that his words of encouragement have given us the memory of this divinity. A severe determination to press for it until we are helpless is alarm. But the having to stay the course of marched March, is just from our midst, having no giving for one that is not used.

CUANDO AFRICA DESPIERTE El Moises de la Raza Negra y la Vasta Organizacion de 12,000,000 de Individuces Que Preside—La Esperanza de Una Nacion Negra en Africa.

Gentes negras se asoman a las puertas e van de un lado a otro con su calma y desgairle habitual, vivido o interesante. Van vestidos con trajes ordinarios—porque todos son gentes modestas, camareros, obrero, barbero, estibador que se mueren en la rutina de la vida americana como figuras permanentes aquí—y estas calles parecen su hogar definitive. Ahora contemplée esta ecana quotidiana con los ojos de la imaginación...con los ojos de un sonador de la raza negra. Las palmas se mecen con el aire, los monos salían de un lado a otro, los cocodrilos duermen bajo el sol tendidos en las riberas de los rios africanos.

Existe, en efecto, no ciariamente en lo ferrocarriles nacionales, pero si en los que no le son, una anarquia completa en las tarifas. Claro esta que esta anarquia en las tarifas es no solo perjudicial para la contabilidad de los ferrocarriles sino que también es fuente de continuous disgusto para los pazajeros. Sería posible que se estableciera en nuestro país, como existe en los países europeos y atm en los Estados Unidos, la tarifa kilametrica? Es muy posible Esa tarifa existe entre nosotros para los forrocarriles nacionales. Por que no ha de existir para los extranjeros? Estas extranas figuras en la grande y rulida zona metropolio de su expatriación recuerdan sus antigua giosas barbariy cifran sus esperanzas imperiales en Africa.

El asesino de suicidio al siguiente dia. Quiero explicar mis actividades y mi programa lo mejor que pueda a las gentes de la raza blanca—me dijo Garvey lentamente y gorientindo con esa exuberante sorción de los Negros que es la casa mas alegré que hay en el mundo. La idea es esta—continuo dicen-doma—Ustadae los blancos, acan preciamente de terminar una guerra por la democracia. Han esparcido por todas partes la doctrina de que los hombres, las naciones y las razas anuales. Nosotros los Negros hemos pelado en esa guerra.

Entonces los Negros que habían quedado aquí han encontrado por primera vez en su vida trabajos docentes y salarios mejoras de los que habían disfrutado nunca. Abora no hemos de volver a las condiciones anteriores a la guerra. Hemos salido de ellas para siempre. Hay 12,000,000 de Negros en los Estados Unidos. Muchos hombres blancos han tratado de eleyar su nivel moral, pero el unico camino para los Negros es el de tener una nación propia, como los judias, que inspire respeto al mundo por sus hechos. Hay 600,000,000 de Negros en el mundo. Si ellos se establecen en Africa, no crees usted que pueden superar a lo que ha hecho el pueblo inglés con ceto una población de 60,000,000? -! Tal vez!- lo conteste- Pero esto es mas que una cuestion de numeros. La clencia moderna, la tecnología, y la organization son más importantes que el numero. - Los emplearemos! - exclamo Garvey.-Constituimos un verdadero estado industrial moderno, con los ilustros inventos y adelantos. La forma de gobierno sera la democratica-republicana, precisamente como la de los Estados Unidos. Habra un president, un congreso! -de todo en final. -Y hebra también trusta, especuladores, ejecuciones y carceles?-le pregunte intenciónadamente. - Sera uno moderna república de mecratica -replicó Garvey sin bafar ojo. - Yero como podran llegar al Africa -inquirí-Hay unas días naiones duesas de ella actualmente. - Llegaremos de un modo o de otro. Arrojaremos de alli a las naciones y exigiramos cuando seames suficientemente fuerte. -Hay diversos medios! - Y usted crees que las naciones blancas del mundo tolerarán un imperio Negro? - Tenemos la fuerza de 600 millones -nos replicate Garry, mirando diamante- Pero, desde luego, que este queda para el futuro.

"La educación Americana hay fuerza sobre la conducta moral y manifestación espiritual, lasculas de Europa, con excepción de inglaterra nutren en las almas de los jóvenes un pasion de egotismo y un desprecia interesado a los otros.

A motion picture display of the Garvey movement drew great crowds for three nights. Enthusiasm ran high when the Black Cross parade was exhibited. President Riley was successful in setting the Legion, children's band and Black Cross. The Garvey movement is rapidly spreading in this section. Mr. Riley delivered a wonderful address on April 2. He was interrupted by great applause as he gave a glowing tribute to the United States flag, which brought his audience to tears. When he mentioned the Red, Black and Green flag there went up a thundering roar of applause.
