The Negro World

AN APPEAL TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE RACE BY PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF VOL. XI. No. 4 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Now that our great Convention has risen, and our representatives have gone back to the four corners of the world from whence they came, it is for us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to speed on the great program we have before us. We have a great deal of work to do for the speedy realization of our aims and objects. Every bit of our program can be put over if our people will but bend their energies and lend their help to the great cause. Whenever we go, we hear the cry of oppression. Everywhere Negroes are looking out for relief. Why do they, therefore, universally and bring about the necessary emancipation as a relief from all the ills we suffer? We are suffering industrially, commercially and politically. Mere complaints will not solve these difficulties. Mere speeches, letters and petitions will not solve them either. The only way the great problems confronting the race can be solved, is through united action, and united purpose. For the bringing about of this result, the Universal Negro Improvement Association called its second International Convention. The opportunity was given to every delegate from every part of the world, to lay his complaint before the one of the Convention. We heard the cry of Africa, the cry of America, the cry of the West Indies, the cry of South America, the cry of Central America, and the cry of the entire universe. Basing our knowledge upon the information gained through the complaints of the Delegates from the various parts of the world, we were able to make laws and pass resolutions that will ultimately bring about a readjustment of conditions everywhere. Several hot-headed and irresponsible critics have tried to attack the usefulness of the Second International Convention, but that has been the way of the Negro for centuries. Negroes who have never been able to do anything, Negroes who can do nothing, have always sat on the fence criticizing those who do things, always advising them how things should be done, and always having "good thoughts," after they have listened to the better thoughts of those who are original enough to initiate something in the interest of the race. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has made it a policy not to take any notice of irresponsible critics, but owing to the unpreparedness of our race generally, to analyze criticisms, in that a large proportion of our people generally take what is written and said for the truth; we have to somewhat depart from our policy in now warning the masses of Negroes everywhere, against the criticism of the representative of spasmodic movements among Irresponsible Negroes who are endeavoring to advocate violence in destroying governments, hot-headed egotists, who believe that Rome was built in a day, and expect the Negro race just by the shaking of the wand, to bring about a free and redeemed Africa. We are not living in the age of the magician. We are living in a practical, material matter of fact age, when things must be done through hard competition, and not by the mere wish that the thing be done. All those who desire to be fair, will readily admit that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has accomplished wonders within four years. Taking an organization with thirteen NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 THE INTELLIGENCE PROVISIONAL PRESIDI OF 2nd INTERNATION THE WORK OF UNIVERSAL NEG members, on the road but four years, having now four million organized the world over, is an accomplishment that ought to be appreciated by every one. Everybody seeks to criticize the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because everybody has done nothing to warrant being criticized. Everybody is now talking about Africa; some have an "African Blood Brotherhood," some are holding "Pan-African Congresses" and everything is now African. We are glad of the change as brought about through the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of four years. We only hope that those so called friends of Africa will act in the interest of Africa; seeking to put aside their little side issues and fall in line with the bigger ideas of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that seek to emancipate Negroes everywhere. No Negro is two big, no Negro is too small not to find a place in the Universal Negro Improvement Association; then why organize on the sid? Every Negro organization and movement was invited to the Second International Convention of Negroes. Every man was given a chance to speak for us to determine of what stuff he was made, and for that purpose we gave every man a chance for nearly two weeks. Some said it was a waste of time, but how could we discover men of ability, how could we reveal to the world the men who were fit and capable if we did not give them a chance to be heard? Yet, some of these wisecases criticize us for listening to men of the race for two weeks. Before a doctor can treat a case, he has to diagnose the patient, before the Universal Negro Improvement Association can alleviate conditions of Negroes everywhere we must know of the conditions, and we can only know of the conditions by giving an opportunity to those who come from the different parts of the world to explain themselves. We have before us one great task, and that is putting down the selfish egotistic Negro who has been simply a stumbling block in the way of the race for the last 300 years, and lift the race from misrepresentation and perfidy, up to the heights of economic, religious, social and political freedom. We are asking the support of Negroes everywhere. Now is the time for every man and woman to fall in and help the Universal Negro Improvement Association put over this program. It is no use debating, it is no use arguing if it can be done. It must be done. It is a question of doing it now, or preparing ourselves to die tomorrow. All peoples who are faithful of holding a place in the world are now preparing to do not by arguing, if it can be done, but by determining among themselves that it must be done.

Johnson, Maybr of Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. the rights the convention set, with delegates and deputies coming from every part, of the known world, and composed of men and women representing every class of society, every branch of human endeavor among them individuals not only of the highest professional training, but as well persons of wealth and station in business. With conspirations, commendable harmony and unanimity, they deliberated and collaborated and enacted laws and adopted wise, practical, feasible measures looking to the continued, solid, substantial development of the Negro race and the protection of its best interests the world over. Compassion, as a rule, are invidious, and usually prompted by jealousy, sadness or vanity. But not one who attends any of the sections of this convention of earnest, sincere intelligent, patriotic, brave, Negroes, diligent, justly led, will it be by any imperial mind, that the second Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World stands out, the above all in the past, as the most progressive and constructive convention ever held by Negroes, representatives of it, was, of the highest thought and aspirations of the race, and embracing all others in point of real accomplishments and tangible things done for the betterment of Negroes the world over. was present, the weather being ideal Dr. McGuire is always equal to any occasion, particularly the occasion of delivering a sermon marking some important event; and this morning was be exception to the rule. As a preacher, I should always elicit cheer as servers to be ranked among our ablest clergymen. EVENING CESSION In the evening Liberty Hall was filled to capacity, long before 8 o'clock so eager were people to be present at the closing ceremonies of the convention. All the auxiliaries of the New York Division of the U. N. L. A. were out in their uniform, as also the chok and the band. On the platform were many notables including the President-General, His Highness, the Potentate, and other members of the High Executions, and the newly elected officials for the ensuing dignified delegates and deputies; also Mr. John L. Mihiland, retired millionaire, father of Miss Ines Mihiland of guarnette fame. The President-General presided and, after the customary opening, a musical program of rare, high quality was given. A quartet of the finest singers of the race contributed, as solist, to its success. Madame Marle Barker Houston sang, "A May Morning." by Denza; Madame Revella Hughes, "Moonlight-Starlight," by Hallett Gilbert; Madame Alice Fraser-Robinson, "Whanson Provençale," by Eva Dell, Aqua; Madame Suzie Bole Anderson, "Maggie," by Al W. Wilson. The singing of these trained, gifted song birds as equal to that heard by any of the great white artists at the Metropolitan Opera or at the Hippodrome, and was one of the richest musical treats given in recent years by any of the great white artists, such as Coleridge Taylor, Ms. S. A. Blynes of British Honduras, Central America, delivered an anlation on "Napoleon and Toussaint L'Overture," a very credible effort, which evoked keenly apprehance. THE SPEECHMAKING There were three speeches delivered, which constituted a triple or "two-in-one" message to the delegates and captains, though intended as well for the whole race. The American leader, His Excellency Hon. J. W. Eason, was the first speaker, and, in a brilliant address, pointed out how Negroes, particularly those in the Western Hemisphere, can contribute to African Redemption. The President-General, as the next speaker, made a strong, vigorous plea for the need of preparation among the Negro peoples of the world for the coming conflict of races, occupied with a grave warning to the white leader in protest in preventing it, saying that the leaders that represented it tended toward the darker races. It would be inevitable. His Grace, the Chaplain-General, the Rev. Dr. George A. McGulre, spoke last, selecting as his topic of discourse, "Confidence in Goa, the Most Valuable Asset of the U. N. I. A." The subject dwelt upon by the three speaker harmonized with each other, as if by pre-arrangement. They are giving with race pride, race love, and breathing out a spirit of unity of the race in all things, material and spiritual, as the only means of the Negro's salvation. Each is given here in full, and the compound message they con- tain be taken to heart by every individual or her communicated to others, until it has enclosed the globe and made known to all Negroes wherever they may be found. The President-General concluded his address with the moving of the adoption of a resolution to be sent to the Supreme Council and the League of Nations, protesting, in vigorous language, against "the distribution of the lands of Africa (formerly known as German, West Africa) among the white nations of the world." The resolution stained further the principle of the belief that part of African races that Africa, the right of heritage, is the property of African races; that "those at home and abroad are now sufficient to be called to 'conduct' the affairs of their own homeland." Copies of the resolution (in typewritten form), were handed out to the representatives of the press who were present. "The President-Governor" was deeply stirred as he read the resolution, and his stammerton tone, full of earnestness and appreciating the principle set forth in the resolution, urged its imminent adoption by the convention. "Unanimously," the American Länder wrote, and seconded it, saying, he supported it because "the 800,000 black soldiers, representing the highest intelligence of the Negroes, pt. North America," who went, from here, to fight to help save the world peace for democracy, and the hippies and hooligans of black soldiers from Africa under the French flag and under the British flag and even under the English flag, who fought to keep the English flag, who fought to keep the German flag, from crushing the hippies because they fought to be reconciled to the clashing up of the racial disputes we are realizing that Europe is not the hypothetical America and the African America because that the League of Nations cannot with open the entire world for Europe to be the responsible THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 Divine Services Held in the Morning; Music and Speechmaking Features of Last Evening Session—Remainder of Day Appropriately Celebrated as Universal National Holiday Among Negroes RESOLUTION ADOPTED AND SENT TO SUPREME COUNCIL AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS STRONGLY PROTESTING AGAINST PARTITIONING OF GERMAN SOUTH AFRICA AND ITS DISTRIBUTION AS SPOILS OF WAR WITHOUT CONSULTING WISHES OF CIVILIZED NEGROES OF THE WORLD.

The Chaplain-General occupying the chair temporarily, put the motion, which, in the midst of the greatest enthusiasm and thundering applause that literally shock the big building, was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, not a single soul remaining seated. When the Chaplain-General had finished his extended address (it really was a sermon, based on a text taken from Exodus 14.15, interspersed with appropriate Biblical quotations and poetical allusions), the High Potentate, the Hon. Gabriel M. Johnson, stepped forward, at exactly 1118 p.m. formally, with gavel in hand, declared the Second Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World adjourned. have been employed by other individuals and other peoples and nations throughout the history of the world. We further realize that as there is no royal road to learning there is no royal road for any individual or any race to travel in order to reach complete freedom. We are to give our contribution, i.e. to African redemption. In the first place, let us see what would be a good contribution for all the Negroes in America, born here, naturalized here, and those who have come here, to give as a contribution to African redemption. We must further remember, realizing that we are all provisional citizens of the great commonwealth of Africa, and realizing that we have a common blood relationship, we must also realize the fact that each and every one of us has to render a contribution to African redemption the knowledge of our own unknown spiritual powers. As great as physical strength is, as powerful as a knowledge of the affairs of the world, there is an unseen force that is more powerful than the things that we can grasp, or the things that we can see, and that is our spiritual power. I believe that spiritual power, so far as I have been taught in psychology, in philosophy, in mental science, in metaphysics, etc., is so closely linked to intellectual power that it is exceedingly difficult to separate the two. yet spiritual power connecting the human with the divine, connecting the finite with the infinite, is more powerful than black humanity throughout the world has realised up to this time. Four hundred million Negroes marching out under their own banner, It was a glorious occasion, a great night one full of inspiration, giving added hope and increased encouragement to us all who long for and are willing to work and strive, by united efforts for the salvation of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world and the redemption of our homeland and the establishment there of a government of our own, that will give prestige to our race and be a means of agency of protection to us against the oppression and injustice of other men and people from which we now suffer. HIG EXCELLENCY HON. J. W. GASON SPEAKS His Excellency the Rev. Dr. J W Eason, as the first speaker of the evening, was introduced and spoke as follows: May it please your Excellence: Providienal President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. His Supreme Highness the Potentate, Your Grace the Chaplain General, Right Honorable Members of the High Executive Council, Honorable Deputies to the Second International Convention of Negroes of the World, Ladies and Gentlemen: Thirty-five years ago I saw the light of day in Easton N. C. and started on my way to the close of the Second International Convention of Negroes of the World. I spent five years on the farm, picking cotton, heatingا gallows barfooted in the summer, half-shod and half-clothed in the winter, spending three months in the year in school for fifteen years, on my way here tonight. With the kind assistance of a good sister and twin (who is now a trained nurse in Brooklyn working under the auspices of the city) I spent three years in the high school in Virginia—on my way here tonight. After that I spent four years more in an academy in Salibury, N. C.—on my way to Liberty Hall tonight. I spent four years in college, graduating in 1913—on my way to Liberty Hall tonight. I spent three years in the schoolological seminary, finished in 1915—on my way to Liberty Hall tonight. I spent five years in North Carolina pastoring and five years in Philadelphia—on my way to Liberty Hall tonight. (Laughter.) While pastoring and speaking in Philadelphia, his Excellence Marcus Garvey found that he was not brought into Liberty Hall, and I started for New York by way of Canada; then, returning to the United States, striking Glinchmann, Ohio, going thence to Georgia and thence to Seattle, Wash, and tonight, after being in the International Convention of Negroes of the World in 1920 and having been on the way for thirty-five years and some days, I find myself addressing you in Lifetime Hall tonight. (Appraise.) And I was a player in Elmsley, the state of this convention and the deleages; here, assembled, as well as the Whit-Wishes and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I extend tonight briefly to speak on the things which we as a people have done that challenge the attention of the world and have caused civilized man the World (yes to know that today as the Negrd is on the scene, I therefore propose to you for your consideration as this time on this fallotton occasion that thanks the close of the convention, the subject of the public interest, the subject of the subject of the public interest, and the subject of the have been employed by other individuals and other peoples and nations throughout the history of the world. We further realize that as there is no royal road to learning there is no royal road for any individual or any race to freedom. We are to give our contribution, i say, to African redemption. In the first place, let us see what would be a good contribution for all the Negroes in America, born here, naturalized here, and those who have come here, to give as a contribution to African redemption. We must further remember, realizing that we are all provisional citizens of the great commonwealth of Africa, and realizing that we have a common blood relationship, we must also realize the fact that each and every one of us has to render a contribution for the redemption of Africa. It is understood that we are and anxious to be redeemed. If we were not anxious to be redeemed, then it would be impossible for us to make a contribution to African redemption; for I have been preaching long enough to know that unless you become interested in a thing you cannot make a contribution to carry that thing on to success. And so, taking it as a foregone conclusion that the Negroes in this country are interested in the redemption of their brothers, unless you become interested in themselves and helping themselves find their place in the sun, we must have a valuable contribution that we can give for the redemption of Africa. And the first thing that comes to my mind in this connection is that we can give a contribution to our brethren, the knowledge of the spirit of universal black brotherhood. I can best illustrate that by stating that I have five brothers. I make the sixth in the family. It doesn't make any difference to me or to my brothers what they do or what I do; when it comes to a showdown am I their brother and they are my brothers. (Applause.) Others may come in and knock me and drag me out, but if brother is there he is not going to ask any questions as to why I was knocked down; he will simply go after the man who struck his brother Heretofore we as a people did not realize that one fact—that wherever we found ourselves and wherever we were oppressed we were forced to our strength and to the ruins of our country. But we now realize that we can contribute to African redemption the knowledge of the spirit of the universal black brotherhood. Whether you are in Europe, Asia, South or Central America, in the islands of the sea, or anywhere in the states of the Union, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association we are teaching our people the world over who have one drop of African blood in their veins that they are Negroes first. Negroes last. Negroes all the time, and must work for their own redemption, with the assistance they may get from friends. (Applause.) In the second place, we can contribute to African retention the knowledge of our people. I have never been much of a contest in physical exhibitions, and I I do not know myself what I could do with "Jeremiah's hammer" under proper direction. (Laughter.) I do not know what might happen. But when we consider the vast number of Negroes in the world—400,000,000 strong—and that the majority of that number are still living upon the Continent of Africa, it is up to us who have been abroad for 600-odd years to arouse our brothers and sisters on the continent, and those elsewhere who have not realized their physical strength to the knowledge of their physical power. Their physical potentiality to survive in the great struggle for physical superiority among the nations of the world. (Applause.) We are the strongest and the most powerful people in the world, the Africans and their descendants, and we do 60,000 strong and strong. It takes us into the Universal Immunization Association, including all the Negroes everywhere in the world, together with the and the man, God Died. One Alma One Desire, an organization that recognizes the sufferings of God and the brotherhood of man, an organization that is working for the redemption of the Negroes everywhere in the world, knew that Negroes know that they are made made just a little lower than God and carried with glory and honor of Abraham. In the most we know, we can continue. --- to African redemption the knowledge of our own unknown spiritual power. As great as physical strength it, as powerful as a knowledge of the affairs of the world in the, there is an unseen force that is more powerful than the things that we can grasp, or the things that we can see, and that is our spiritual power. I believe that spiritual power, so far as I have been taught in psychology, in philosophy, in mental science, in metaphysics, etc., is so closely akin to intellectual power that it is exceedingly difficult to separate the two, yet spiritual power connecting the human with the divine, connecting the finite with the infinite, is more powerful than black humanity throughout the world has realized up to this time. Four hundred million Negroes marching out under their own banner, with their own law, their own government, and their knowledge of each other, in a world that is not but regarding God—marching out with a knowledge that the same God who created other peoples created them—thinking as one man thinks and praying and aspiring as one man prays and aspire, they can break the bonds of degradation and sin and ignorance anunder and rise triumphant to find their place in the wun. In the fourth place we can contribute the knowledge of material power. I haven't time to enlarge upon this phase of the subject, but we must contribute to our people, especially in Africa, and among the many duties assigned to the speaker as American leader is the duty to encourage all the Negroes in America to work for the speedy redemption of Africa. So we can help by contributing to them the knowledge of material power. We must let them know that there is power in diamonds and in gold and in silver. We must let them know that for every home they establish they can get respect, they can get honor, they can get recognition, they can get freedom, they can get everything in this world they need, almost when we as a people have a powerful navy, a mighty army, and start to fight for that which belongs to us as common human beings. (Ap-phase.) In the next place we can contribute to African redemption the knowledge of political power. We must realize that there is power in the ballot. Wherever you are, wherever you may be, there is power in the ballot, because it expresses the will of man, as living does the will of God. In the next place we can contribute to African redemption the knowledge of the fact that some of their brothers have been away for three hundred years, learning the wisdom of the white race, learning the wisdom of the yellow race, learning the failures as well as the fortunes of the red race in Africa, learning the ways in which we teach their brothers the best civilizations of all the world, and let them rise and shine because the light has come. (Anapause) Therefore, because of our great, united efforts to free ourselves, we can say to all the nations of the world, and especially to the seor of visions and the dreamers of dreams: we can ask the international lawyers: "Watchmen of the law courts of the world, what of the night." We can say to the students of history, ancient, medieval and modern, "Watchmen, what of the night" Because of what we are doing to free ourselves, because of the knowledge we have of world conditions in the after-night. Nervousness is the ability to walk to follow the leadership of His Highness the Potentate and His Excellency the President General, the working heads of this organization because of these facts, we are in a position to ask the leading political heads of the world. "Watchmen, what of the night?" We are in a position to ask the diplomats of the world. "Watchmen, what of the night." We are in a position to ask those who sit in the League of Nations to devise ways and means: for the promotion of the welfare of all the nations of the world. "Watchmen, what of the night?" We are also in a position to ask the world of the world today: today's old especially, as their after-night. At the old at home, and abroad: the subflock which the subject of the world is deeply linked. The subject of the world is the place of the world, and the place of the world is the people who are to be the types of the world. that we have enumerated, answer. We see the South American and the Central American republics binding themselves together in a united effort to find their place in the sun, to keep other races from tearing them down and causing them to lose their identity. "Watchmen, what of the night?" The smaller nations of Europe, including the Poles and the nations of Scandinavia, are clamoring for self-determination as the solitude independent "Watchman, what of the night?" Asia, led on by Japan China and India are clamoring for the freedom of the darker races and the complete emancipation of all mankind The watchman is about to speak, answering, because they have never considered the class of people that we are talking about now, they never being interested in African redemption. "It is a new place under the sun," said the stateman, said the scientists, said the scholar, said the rulers of the world, "and we can divide Africa to suit ourselves. We can take a part of it when we get ready, and kill a million black folks when we get ready and nobody will have anything to say about it." But there is a mighty shaking and rattling among the dry bones, there is a mighty arousing among the black sons of Ham (applause), such a noise, and such a tumult, and such a commotion since Marcus Garvey came on the scene, until the watchman cries out "We see a cloud coming" (Applause) It is not the noise of triumph it is not the gust of Africans on the battlefield, it is not the cry for pity and for mercy and for assistance. No. 400,000,000 human beings are standing on their feet—400,000,000 black people, with souls as pure as driven snow and eyes turned towards the sun are crying out "Now and forever under the Black, the Red and the Green, Africa shall be redeemed" (Great outburst of applause lasting several moments.) MARCU8 GARVEY 8P8AK8 Immediately the President-General arrose, smiling and bowing to the right and then to the left like a black Napoleon, whereupon the audience again broke into great cheering and hurrying, followed by the association roll of the Gunner Motor Corp girl. When the audience, after a period of about five minutes had spent itself, and quiet was restored, the President-General spoke as follows. — May it please your Highness the Potentate, Right Honorable Members of the Executive Council, Deputies and Delegates to the Second International Convention of Negroes of the World, Ladies and Gentlemen: — We are assembled here tonight to bring to a close our great convention of thirty-one days and thirty one nights. Excuse me, and take our departure to different parts the world from which we came. I desire to give you a message, one that you will. I hope, take home and propagate among the scattered millions of Africa's sons and daughters. We have been here, sent here by the good will of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to legislate in their interests, and in the time allotted to us we did our best to enact laws and to frame laws that in our judgment, we hope, will help solve the great problem that confronts us universally The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to amenable the Negro everywhere, industrially, educationally, politically and religiously. It also seeks a free and redeemed Africa. It has a great struggle ahead, it has a gigantic task to face. Nevertheless, as representatives of the Negro people of the world we have undertaken the task of freeing the 400,000,000 of our race, and of freeing our bleeding and dying people with each other during the thirty-one days; we debated with each other during the thirty-one days, and out of all we did, and out of all we said, we have come to the one conclusion—that specially Africa must be redeemed! (Applause). We have come to the conclusion that speedily there must be an emancipated Negro race everywhere (applause); and an going back to our respective homes we go with our determination to lay down, if needs be, the last drop of our blood for the defense of Africa and for the emancipation of our race. The handwriting is on the wall. You see it as plain as daylight; you see it coming out of India, the tribes of India rising in rebellion against their overland. You see it coming out of Africa, our dear mother Africa, the Moors rising in rebellion against their overland, and defeating them at every turn. (Applause.) According to the last report flashed to this country from Morocco by the Associated Press, the Moors have again conquered and subdued the Spanish horde. The same Associated Press flashes to us the news that there is a serious uprising in India, and the English people are marshaling their troops to subdue the spirit of liberty, of freedom, which is now permeating India. The news has come to us, and I have a cable in my pocket that comes from Ireland that the Irish are determined to have liberty and nothing less than liberty. (Applause.) The League of Nations The handwriting is on the wall, and as we go back to our respective homes we shall serve notice upon the world that we also are coming, coming with a united effort, coming with a united determination, a determination that Africa shall be free from coast to coast. (Applause) I have before me the decision of the League of Nations. Immediately after the war a Council of the League of Nations was called, and at that Council they decided that the territories wrested from Germany in West Africa, taken from her during the conflict, should be divided between France and England -608,000 square miles -without even asking the civilized Negroes of the world what disposition shall be made of their own homeland, of their own country. An insult was hurled at the civilized Negroes of the world when they thus took upon themselves the right to parcel out and apportion as they pleased 605-800 square miles of our own land, for we never gave it up; we never sold it. It is still our (Cries of, "Yes!") They parcelled it out between these two nations — England and France — gave away our property without consulting us, and we are aggrieved, and we desire to serve notice on civilization and on the world 400,000,000 Negroes are aggrieved. (Cries of, "Yes!" and applause.) And we are the more aggrieved because of the lynch rope, because of segregation, because of the Jim Crowism that is used, practised and exercised here in this country and in other parts of the world by the white nations of the earth, wherever Negroes happen accidentally or otherwise to find themselves. If there is no safety for Negroes in the white world, I cannot see what right they have to parcel out the homeland, the country of Negroes, without consulting Negroes and asking their permission so to do. Therefore, we are aggrieved. This question of prejudice will be the downfall of civilization (applause), and I warn the white race of this, and of the doom I hope they will take head, because the handwriting is on the wall. (Applause) No portion of humanity, no group of humanity, has an abiding right, an everlasting right, an eternal right to oppress other sections or portions of humanity. God never gave them the right, and if there is such a right, man arranged it to himself, and God in all ages has been displaced with the arrogance of man. I warn those nations which believe themselves above the law of God, above the commandments of God. I warn those nations that believe themselves above human justice. You cannot long ignore the laws of God; you cannot long ignore the commandments of God: you cannot long ignore human justice, and exist. Your arrogance will destroy you, and I warn the races and the nations that have arrogated to themselves the right to oppress, the right to circumscript the right to keep down other races. I warn them that the hour is coming when the oppressed will rise in their might, in HELEN HAGAN Leading Colored Pianist In Piano Recital AT AEOLIAN HALL 34 West 63d Street MONDAY (EVENING) OCTOBER 10, 1921 You cannot afford to miss this rare musical treat.

Dining at the New York Aperitif West 1818 at New York Avenue 129 West 1818 Street OUR SEATS NOW LIBERTY HALL, New York, September 4, 1921.—"The new year of 1921-1922 for the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be a year of strenuous labor. I sound this warning to those going out as representatives of the association, that no camouflaging will be allowed. Everyone will be expected to do his bit. Hard work—work with results, and nothing else, will satisfy. Talk alone will not do." Thus spoke the Hon. Marcus Garvey tonight in Liberty Hall before a crowded audience, in his first key-note speech to the members and friends of the great movement since the close last week of the Second Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World. The utterances alluded to were directed chiefly to the present members constituting his official family for the year 1921-1922, and as an assurance to the association's supporters and friends that the new year must be and will be a year of achievements—of results. Enough talk had already been done, he said, and it is now time to get down to business and do things. upfit, but they failed because of the self-serving interests that actuated their leaders. Unlike these, the U. N. I. takes in Negroes the world over, and is engaged in a movement for the protection and benefit of black people everywhere. Men like Moton, who are that the Negro should occupy a place inferior to that which Negroes held before the war, the race is through with forever. "But," said the red-shirt transgender minister, forborely and with unusual earnestness, "God has given us a man—fearless man who dares stand in the face of danger, willing, glad to champion the cause of the Negro people of the world, and under this banner, our banner, our tri-color of the Red, the Black and the Green, we are going forward, at the command of Marcus Garvey, to redeem Africa or die. Rudolph Smith. the newly- The President-General was very earnest in this, and though in thus so emphatically laying down the law as he did, he held office in the U N I A and drawing a salary, some of the incumbents present may have and perhaps did, wince, it met the hearty approbation of a audience, who cheered voraciously. Taking a different tactic the President-General hurled a bomb at those who have recently attempted to criticize the association and the work of the convention. The critics at whom they have recently been blown into atoms by the force of his powerful invective and searching analysis of the hidden, depleciable motives that have actuated their unjust criticism, as far, metaphorically speaking as their estimation concerned. Many of them, he believed, were merely paid hirelings, who are disgruntled because the convention did not indorse the Soviet, or Socialist, or Bolshevist movements, and refused to indorse a policy of tearing down organized government. The nation itself had not been organized—for the purpose of smashing any government, its only object is to engage in the work of the development of Africa and the establishment there of a black government, the greatest in the world. He mentioned Cyril Iliad, a former member of the organization, who actually took the little fellow, laid him across his lap, and gave him one of the worst trumpeting he ever had ever Briggs, perhaps, let us hope, will hereafter be a good boy, and he and others like him hold their criticisms in real life, have done or have done something constructive to the cause the race. Solving the Problem Referring to methods for the solution of the Negro problem, this he said cannot be done, as some sycophants believe and are trying to do, by teaching religion to the white race, or by the teaching to them of philozoeism. He said that any other cogent design to bring about a better understanding between men of different races who have been opposed to each other since the dawn of creation, that such efforts are a sheer waste of time and effort. It can only be solved by the black people of the world, who are the strongest, strength, physical, intellectual and financial, for their salvation and protection everywhere, and the establishment of a free and independent Africa. He made an eloquent plan that every member of the race dedicate himself or herself to the cause of Negro liberty, and to taking the same action for the new year "Africa free, Africa reedemed!" The newly-elected Assistant President-General, Sir Wm. H. Fortia, literary editor of The Negro World, was the first speaker of the evening, and in speaking upon the high standard of achievement set by the U. N. Negro World improvement may admit that the Negro is potentially as great as he is, but he wants and insists that the Negro show that potentiality in deeds and achievements. What the race needs today, above all else, is character in its leading men. It is because the Hon. Marvin Carray possesses the character, said he, that he has impressed the black people by the blessings of the days of Toussaint L'Overture. Five young men had been elected by the convention just closed to responsible positions in the U. N. L. A., and with the future and their careers before them, it is possible for them, he believed and hoped, by their deeds and accomplishments and achievements, to put the entire Negro race under an order of equality, only they will realize and ever keep before them that "character is the foundation of all success, of all greatness of all property that endures." Glo Washington Meeting Lady Hustinite Vinton Daven international organizer, speaking next, said she had just returned from the capital city of the nation, where on Friday evening last, she attended, accompanied by the President-General, a meeting held in the interest of the association, to which she was wonderful, message, which Mr. Gervais delivered, to them having won them over completely to the cause. The old-fashioned, sympathetic Negro, she declared, had been flattered to the rear, where he belongs, but the new Negro has come both, and is playing his part, nobly, guided by the principles set forth by the D.M. A. A., the President. uplift, but they failed because of the self-seeking interests that actuated their leaders. Unlike these, the U. N. I. a takes in Negroes the world over, and is engaged in a movement for the protection and benefit of black people everywhere. Men like Moton, who are willing that the Negro is not allowed to that which Negroes held before the war, the race is through with Forever. "But," said the reducible international organizer, forcefully and with unusual earnestness, "God has given us a man—a fearless man, who dares stand in the face of danger, reedy, willing, glad to champion the cause of the Negro people of the world, and under this banner, our banner, our leader." Green, we are going forward, at the command of Marcus Garvey, to redeem Africa or die Mr Rudolph Smith, the newly-elected leader of the eastern provinces of the West Indies, also field corps worker was the last speaker, and made a grenouille, engaging plea for racial solidarity. His earnestness and zeal in the work cannot be doubted, and it is believed that of the members of the President General's new cabinet for 1921-1922 he will be one who will show good results, he having won a reputable award, being a hustler—a man who does things. The musical program tonight, though brief, was good. Madame Houston and Madame Fraser-Robinson be doing the soloists ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL APEAKS As the first speaker of the evening, Sir William H Perris, Assistant President General, said, Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa, Right Honourable Sir Peter Hobson, Follow Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It has been so long since he have spoken in one of these regal reapplanted robes (referring to the robes of his office as Assistant President of the University) that he fully accustomed to it. (Laughter) You have just witnessed a 31-day convention, which to me was very remarkable. The "Crusader" Magazine does not think that it was a wonderful convention, because there was very little that knew what was the real thing that made the United States what it is today? It wasn't so much the fortile hills and valleys, not so much the waterways, but the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution directed the trend that events would amendments to its Constitution, in laying down laws for the government, of the divisions, the legions, and the Black Cross Nurses, the convention was laying the foundation for the future success of the U. N. L. A. (Appease). They hark back to the Roman wars of the Colosseo, who man of Greece, and to the Roman courts of the Roman Empire. When you have law it means there will be some system for the governing of your institutions. When you have no law everything is chaotic, and I think that this convention is strengthening the foundation of the Roman system, laying the firm foundations, has paved the way for its future success. Then, again, there were two other things accomplished which do not show up on the surface, but which will bear fruit in the future. One of those things is the establishment of a Service, the other was the establishment of a Department of Labor and Industry. Inasmuch as most men have to eat two times a day and come three times and buy food at the market price; inasmuch as nine-tenths of the population are living, the establishment of the Department of Labor and Industry is of vital consequence. We are in the dawn of a new era. We look around us and whistle the pages of Zionary and large. We look around us and large. Rome and Greece are names of countries whose scholars and orators we are to conduce with. Why? It was because Greece took civilization, literature, art and architecture and medicine from the Egyptians, perfected the art and architecture and civilization that men respect Greece. It is because Rome conquered the entire eastern world and gave the world a foundation of law that men respect Rome. So, too, the Negro race, to be sure, was conquered by the world, must do so by the sum total of its achievements. A Constructive Program Some men claim that they are "from Missouri," and you must show them. You may tell the Caucasian and the Anglo-Saxon that you are as great as he is; he may admit that you are potentially as great, but you are still in deeds and achievements. And that is what the Universal Negro Improvement association has accomplished. When I was 16 years of age I was the New Haven agent and correspondent of the Indianapolis Presidian, and since that I have observed great Negro movements and organizations of Negro men, and that the movements which fall, because there was nothing constructive and creative in their program; and it is because the Ion. Mun. Garvey has given the Negro program will not be a pronggung. That the community' and the world' are tainted toward Liberty Hall to tell you what will happen to the Negro community.

But with those twelve men he transformed the religion of the entire world, with those thirteen the Hon. Maruco Garvey has completed an organization which now has spread the world over, putting new life now in new spirit and new blood into the hearts and minds of Negroes. verbal Negro Improvement Association and by what we do in the Black Slate line that the Negro race can achieve in the fields of commerce and of business as it has in art, in music, in literature and in poetry. Musicians the world over today recognize the fact leadership, and we said that no man so narrow, so cringing, so syphonic What is the difference between a dead man and a living man? There is the same flash, the same bones in the dead man, but that energizing spirit is absent in the dead man. The Negras have been alive physically, but dead spiritually, the energizing spirit, the spirit of daring, of achievement, of initiative, of purpose, has been absent. Herefordo the Negro has always been alive physically, but the white man taps him upon the shoulder and says, "He's a good, big Negro; the other Negroes then accept him as their leader. They say, "This is a good man for you as your leader," and they accept the advice. As long as they accept the advice, to do its thinking for the race, to achieve only as far and as fast as that other race permits it, but when a race does its own thinking, when, as George William Curtis says, it carries its sovereignty under its own hat. it is startled, it is startled, it is history and to write its name upon the pages of human achievement. Setting a High Standard I believe in the destiny of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and I believe, through its council, and through its deeds and achievements it will set a high standard. What we need above all else on which we must depend is that quality of mind and heart called character. In the original Latin "character" means a mark, or a sign; and a man who has no character, he may have the wealth of Cromus, and the brains of a Bacon, or an Aristotle, but he cannot be depended upon in an important way. He must be a man. Men who have character have that stability by which they draw others to them, and I believe that it is because the Hon. Marcus Garvey has character that he has impressed the world as no other black man has since Toussaint L'Onuverture (Auburna). We have elected five young men to responsible positions. They have their future, before them. They have their careers before them. It is possible for them, by their deeds and by achievements, to achieve the Negro's an eternal debt of gratitude to them; and if they and the High Commissioners will but realize that character is the foundation of all success, of all greatness, of all prosperity that endures, they will have enclosed their names among the great men of the Negro race. One thing which Lady Honriette Davis has character. In my school days at college two or three noted elocutionists came to New Haven and four noted singers. You hear nothing of them now, but Lady Davis's name goes singing around the world. Why? Because she has that stability of character by which she pursued her interest in the race from the beginning until the end. Her personality felt upon the world. (Appease.) I believe, with Emerson, that if you are a man, black or white is insignificant. There is something about the human soul by which it shows through its intelligence, its tenacity, and speaks through the voice. If you have a man, dark as the binges of hat, hair like lamb's wool, with broad nose, thick lips—that man has genius and individuality—that man has wisdom and fell. (Appliance) Why, do you know that twenty years ago Governor Lowden called upon the people of the "wilk stocking" district of Chicago and urged the sending of Edward Morris, a colored lawyer, to the Legislature's Legislature, and Edward Morris made those people in Chicago forget the color of his skin because of his brains. Great Ideals No fountain can rise higher than its source, and no race and no nation can rise higher than the ideas that dominate it. The two greatest ideals of the Christian faith have ever lived man, have been the ideals of a belief of a people in a ter-breaching and overroaching God and in the possibilities in themselves. They say that when Julius Caesar was crossing the Mediterranean, Sea in a storm that Caius Caesar had to overcome that Caius Caesar had to throw "Tony" not; you carry Caesar and his house." It was because of that sublime belief in himself that made Caesar, the master of Home. As I study the propaganda of our nation, I presume that there is attempting to hypnotize the Marso with a belief in his own inferiority. I hear people talking and wondering as, when the Universal New Improvement Association and the Black Man Life will be a permanent success, will be a permanent success of the Marso, so that things can be selfless big things, and we must show the "combining Tamarants" of the versal Negro Improvement Association and by what we do in the Black Star Line that the Negro race can achieve in the fields of commerce and of business as it has in art, in music, in literature, in the arts, in the world over today recognize the fact that the only real contribution which the american nation has made to the world of music has been the Jubilee songs and plantation melodies of the old slaves. And just as the black man has been the foundation of civilization in Egypt and India, the man in Timbucto in the Middle Ages has built up a civilization, so we, with one foot resting on Africa and another in America, in the face of obstacles and opposition, must go forward and erect our civilization and by our deeds movements write our names everlastingly upon the page of human history. Must Press Forward Terrance, Rome's tawny-becoried poet, said in the Coliseum of Rome: "I am a man, and nothing that is common to humanity is foreign to me." So let this be the watchword of the Universal Negro Movement, which teaches the Negro that under his dark skin under his ebony exterior, there is that brain power and soul power and spirit power which is capable of accomplishing big things, and that will give the lib to those who say he is fit to lead the people. He will drawers of water. That is why the Hon. Booker Washington, with all his practical genius and great industrial insight—for he was the industrial savior of the Seuth—made a mistake. He pitched too low the keynote of the Negro movement, he tried to make the Negro believe that he could be bit lower than the Anglo-Saxon, and should not aspire for the attainable. But the new Negro should say: "There are no artificial bounds or limits to my attachments and my achievements; others have accomplished I can accomplish their rights and privileges they enjoy I too, shall enjoy. (Applause.)" LADY DAVI & SPEAKO As the next enginer Lady Hepatitis Devia, Davia, international organiser, vale: Four Excellency, Provincial President of Africa, Member of the High Executive Council, Friends and Fellow Citizens of Africa, I greet you. We have just returned from a splendid visit to Africa, where we learned that leadership meeting at which the representative colored people of Washington were present. I take it that Friday evening's meeting in Washington was the most successful that the U. N. I. A. has held in the Capital City of this great nation. The meeting was marked by enthusiasm. It was marked by deep interest in the work of the organization. Marcus Gawey brought to the people of the District of Columbia. They were there to listen and to learn. They had heard and read much of our great convention; they had read both sides of the question; they had read what our critics had to say about us and they had also our organ, the Negro World, and they came to have their salves; and, without a distancing voice, they came over on our side. (Appeause.) Knowing that the great principles enunciated by our incompatible leaders were the basic principles of the rightness of our cause, they know that the cause of the Negro was a just cause. The Negro race has suffered more than any other race in modern times; that this race was delayed defending the rights of the Negro had entered the arena, the world has taken notice of it, and the Negro is acquiring himself as a man. (Appease.) Old-Time Neore Gene The old-time aerophilic Negro has been relegated to the rear, where he belongs the " Applause and Laughter.) But the new Negro has a sppped to the center of the stage, and is in playing his part as set forth in the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Negro Victories Corporation. As Professor Pistil has said, we have had organizations before that looked to the bettietment of the Negro people, but they were short-lived organizations. Because the leaders of those organizations were loying for self-interest, and not the interest of all the Negro peoples; if the world. ( Approximate). But this " netisation of ours looks after, Nationalism in South America, Central America, the beautiful Island of the West Indies, our little brothers in Africa, and our world" is always the same as the world of the world of the country and the world of the country. The most forward movement of the Negro press. We also tried to stifle the motto of " In the States Life " Motel telling us how to come back from the battlefield of Stanooz and Wozzera. But, when we place this we will before. That we are what our city is, if it's right to you. They were fighting for a new democracy, though the last two years of the war should be in the South of the world. The first was the " North" that made them up. The first was the " North" that made them place the changes against the British people had for the life of the Black people. The first was the handed. But when that hope was taken from them, what that hope was dragged away from them by a fallen Negro, men and women of our race stood up and protested against such leadership, and we said that no man so narrow as we could so openly lead the leader for all the Negroes of the world. But God gave us a man—a fearless man, who dares to stand in the face of danger, ready, willing, glad to champion the cause of the Negro peoples of the world, and under this banner, our banner, our tri-color of the Red, the Black, the Green, forward at the command of Harcus Garvey, to reed Africa or die. (Applause.) Hon. Rudolph Smith Speaks Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Province of the West India, was the next speaker and in a brief address made a plea for racial solidarity. Among other things he said: there was nothing in which Negroes should pride themselves greater than by lending their support to their own redemption. Other races and individuals who do so have determination have worked energetically to that end. Little Ireland with her 43,000 square miles of area and her 48,000 population was able in her drive to raise millions of dollars for her redemption. The United States in return has asked them to abjure for democracy and the Negro subscribed something like $225,000,000 in order to gain democracy. Tonight Negroes are saying we must go to Africa but are we saying to ourselves that we must raise the money in order to start a movement that are necessary for our own advancement and for our own deliverance? The speaker pictured Africa controlled by Negroes; roads being built by Negroes; railroads being operated by Negro engineers and conductors; telephone wires being erected by Negroes; bridges being built to span the waters in various parts by Negro, civil engineer, "Negroes" the assistant, "have been doing these things for white men in other countries and by the time they had come, when they must do the same thing now," the speaker said, writing Marus Garvey) when he had given us to carry through this work must be helped not only educationally and physically, but he must be helped financially. The nations of the world are looking upon Negroes. With keen interest because it had been said that they were masters of their own destiny and that they could conquer anything which confronted them; that as Negro soldiers fought victoriously at the battles of France and Honduras, they could conquer on the battlefields of Africa that continent free for the Negro race. In conclusion he urged Nespyre to do everything to help them anyway. "The white race will not do it for you," he added; "the yellow race will not do it for you. The Caucasian may come to you and praise you for what you done, but they are not going to do it. You are not going to get 18 million square miles is calling to me, big beg of you to do all within your power to contribute to this cause so that Africa can be redeemed. (Applause). MON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS." "I thank you for your presence here tonight after a strenuous month—a month of continued attendance to Liberty Hall. I must announce for you that we have started, a new year, in the Life and Neo Improvement Association. The close on August 11, and on September 1 we start our next year, a year and work, a year of activity. During the 11 days and 3 nights of our convention we devised ways and means by which we can get out of our cotties that have held us down nearly 300 years in this Western world and for nearly 500 years in Africa. We enacted laws, we passed constitutions, we amended our constitution—We killed the organization so as beisible as to build cotties for the retention of race of corn. A Voice of Labor During the convention was demonstrated to those who had our attitude toward them in the greatest and forecasted our attitudes toward them in the future. It is for me to say, fortunately that the years 1811 and 1821 will be for us a year of arduous labor, though will be no occurrence in 1821. And 1822. The alone in 1822 and 1823 will not satisfy the Universal Figure improvement, Association. We could not give the results 1826. We did not find the two. We could not find any, and so to such future as in the year convention. (Agriculture.) It was not the same thing as in the year convention.

CONVENTION REFLECTIONS THE Second International Convention of Negroes, which assembled in Liberty Hall, New York, closed six days ago. And we are still thinking about it. Spellbinders from soap boxes, clergymen, from their pulpits, professors from their chairs, and orators in tonsorial parliaments have discussed Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. pro and con, and still the movement is sweeping o'er the world like a mighty tidal wave. Prof. Wm. Fickens on Tuesday evening, August 30, delivered a short address in Liberty Hall, that was characterized by common sense, wit and cloqueness. He said that the U. N. I. A. was a great human fact, that the members of the U. N. I. A. were like other people and wanted the same things that other people want. Jesus of Narnap, in one of His discourses, said, "I am come that they might have life and might have it more abundantly." That is what all men want—justite abundant life. They only differ in their conceptions of more abundant life. Men want more abundant physical life and more abundant spiritual life. The men who flocked to California and the Klondike looking for gold were seeking the means for more abundant physical life. And the men in Ireland, India, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa and the Southern States of America who crave for more political freedom do so because the love of liberation is innate. The rank and file of the membership of the U. N. I. A. and the delegates and dignitaries to the recent convention only desire their share of the fruits of their Earth and opportunity for the unfolding and development of personality as men longed for it in the days when the Greeks hurried back the Persian hosts at Marathon and Salamis, in the days when Ethiopian monarchs went forth to conquer. The U. N. I. A. only differed from other organizations of Negroes in that it not only attempts to form a great confederation of Negroes, not only attempts to eloquently love the love for freedom, but also seeks to make the Negro an industrial and economic force in modern civilization and desires to play a part in redeeming Africa. The legislation that was enacted at the convention, the honors that were showed upon Negroes, the Civil Service that was established and the Department of Industry and Labor that was established will mean much in the immediate future. W. H. F. The Second International Convention of the U. N. I. A. is over, and delegates and deputies have returned to their homes to put into practice the things agreed upon at the convention. They return to their divisions prepared to do genuine work this year, for they are in possession of all the vital information concerning the workings of this great association. There were many battles fought upon the convention floor—some indicative of world interest—but all was done in the open and above board, and it can truthfully be said that this was the people's convention. Delegates have been mindful of the press of world events as concerns our particular group, and have legislated accordingly. African redemption to the legislators became a reality, and they proceeded with a dignity and poles representative of abiding confidence. The Negroes of the world are determined to come in for a larger share of worldly possessions, and those who are thinking to the contrary are safe for painful availance. There can be no permanent peace in the world while so large a portion of God's humanity is denied the fundamental rights of man—the right to live and to think independent of Caucasian arrogance. BRITISH NEGROES NOT INVITED BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, MAY NOT GET BRITISH CONSUL ADVICE To the Editor of the Negro World: Dear Sir!-Please allow me space in your valuable column so that those Negroes who believe in their white friend might know what happened to a Jamaican woman in Camague, Cuba. It may be of some importance to the Negro community. This Jamaican woman lived in Camague, and her room is next to that of a Cuban man. One day she came home from her work and found that all her money and valuables had been stolen. The rumor went around and a detective came. He saw that the partition door was broken and deceived that nobody did i but the Cuban in the next room. He then went to work and the Cuban with some others were found with one of the articles. They were put in court, secured a lawyer and got bail. The Jamaican woman thought of going to the British Consul for advice. She did so, and the consul asked her if she wanted the government to get her a lawyer. She said, 'I don't want the government to give me a lawyer, and I know the government did not invite me here but there are lots of Cubans in Jamaica and all are protected by the government. She turned away. He then called her back to return. As she was talking it over with other Jamaicans a white man, who was within hearing. Why don't some of you write up against that trash, he is no good around here Negroes all, he is not a friend. Then why not leave him in his den! All that I can say CONGRATULATIONS FOR SIR WM. H. FERRIS Sir Wm. H. Forris, M. A., the Negro World, New York city Dear Sir: As a member of the Universal Improvement Association allow me to extend to you my heartiest congratulations on the splendid work you have been rendering our race, culminating in your knighthood of Saturday last. Symbolic of the fact that men of color have at last found a way of giving fitting expression to mortorious services performed in the intercases of a race oppresser and exploited, your knighthood becomes a happy augury of the spirit of the time, and of the fact that Negro thought is now firmly anchored to the conviction that nothing short of a virile, independent, national existence can check the rapacious ennouchments made upon us by the powerful. May you function as faithfully and meritoriously in your new position of Assistant President-General as you did while editor of the Negro World is the sincere wish of Very respectfully yours. EUSTON R. MATHEWS. 57 West 188th street, New York ...qv A GREETING, FROM PITTSBURGH, PA. Mr. Editor, kindly allow me space to publish my many thanks unto God and Hon. President, Mr. Garvey. He has caused the bright light to shine upon and about our pathway, which has been a shadow of darkness for over 60 years. God has taken it there light, and Mr. Garvey has caused the bright light to shine which shall never grow dark again. Let us all, in the name of God, be a faithful follower unto our loyal president. Go with him through thick and thin unto the end of this great journey which he is now perusing. To go onward is life, to turn around and go back is surely death to one and all. God will take it I shall follow him and if I fail to follow him I shall report to my God and your God the reason why. JOSEPH E. G. ODOM U. N. L. A. Division No. 61 2844 Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. PROMINENT PHILADELPHIA LADY, PASSES AWAY Miss Lillian Katherine Walker, a native of Richmond, Va. died recently in the city of Philadelphia. She was a niece of the great educator and mother, Armand Walker, and cousin of the late, Clara Walker, better known as the greatest hair dresser of the world. She was a graduate of the Baltimore High School, as English grammarian and rectorian in classes, especially her greatest languages. French, Greek and Hebrew, as well as Lalla, foul, pound, equal, her and none could great her. She was the daughter of late Madame Emma Walker. She leaveth to mount her loss, her shrub here in the city, of which she was an alder, wisteria and paled by her Dr. E. Latha, and many friends. She is great but not forgotten. A Few FRIENDS: The Meadamia Elizabeth Katherine Walker, Patricia and Murray, Nate North CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN WITH THE CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Anselmo R. Jackson, editor of Our Boys and Girls, of No. 54 West 146th street, writes us that he has interested himself in one Clam Johnson, a new colored heavyweight possibility. Mr. Jackson ordinarily does not concern himself with fists but rather with young man of such character that he feels he is entitled to a chance. Johnson, according to the editor, is a native of the West Indies, which produced Joe Woolcott and "Panama Joe Gana," and claims the championship, her sire, is 12 years old, and has boxed Sam McVey, Kid Norfolk and Gunbust Booth, claiming a knockout over the latter. Mr. McVey this column does not make announcements of this nature about fighters, but in view of Mr. Jackson's recommendation of Clam we have to use the above exception—Demon Runyon. It is a immeable fact that the Negro in America has lost self-estimation and he is going to have a mighty struggle to regain it. His greatest hindrances are First, the contemptuous opposition of his formidable enemies second, the loveless pity, not sadism contemptuous pity, of his assertive white frienda, and third the ignoble attitude of the mixed multitude who are always loudmouthed Negroes when place or power or office can be gotten by being or seeming to be Negroes but are only colored or Afro-Americans when superiority or social position are aimed after. At the indication of long standing prediction that in art the Negro is deceived to a conspicuous future. What we need is opportunity, freedom for our wings. We carry with us everywhere the largest germs of the artistic in poetry and eloquence. All we need is training, and with this we are sure to take a most distinguished place. I have never had a doubt as to where the eternal Judge would place the responsibility for crimes laid at the door of the Negro, or for the ignorance out of which they have grown.

HANDS ACROSS THE SEA The most dangerous phase of developed capitalism is that of imperialism—when having subjugated its workers and exploited it in natural resources at home, it uses with great determination toward "undeveloped" races and areas to renew the same processes there, and navalism and navalism with speed with their accumulating burden of taxation for "preparedness" against the day when the capitalist class of the nation must use the final argument of force against its foreign competitors for markets. These markets change their character under the impact of international trade, and are no longer simply markets for the absorption of foreign capital, but for the investment of accumulated surplus profits, in which process they are transformed into original sources for the production of surplus profits by the opening up of mines, railroads and other large-scale capitalist enterprises. It becomes necessary to take over the government of the selected areas in order that the profits may be effectuated in the spheres of influence, "protectorates," and "mandates" are set up. Thus the lands of "backward" people are brought within the central influence of the capitalist economic system and the subjection of black brown and other colored workers to the rigor of "the white man's burden" comes as an inevitable consequence of the exploitation of white workers at home, and binds them both in an international opposition to the continuance of the capitalist regime. Most Americans who are able to see the process more or less clearly in the case of other nations are unable to see the same process impatient and exploit in the career of the own. The case of Mayri and the present plight of the Hawaiian people helps us to see the aims of our own American imperialists in the white light of pilgrims GEORGE D.

Negroes Who Live. Off Clarity of Good, White People, Afraid of Offending Them Even When a Whole Continent Is to Be Robbed—Foolish Negroes Say That They Are "Black but Nationals First" JUSTICE VS. SOCIAL EQUALITY A gathering of Negroes, *Pan-African Congress*, in London, demands "social equality," among other things. It is a mistake; intelligent coloured people know it. Justice is what all men want. Let society take care of itself. The following news article was published in the "New York Sun" of September 5. It speaks for itself: "AFRICA FOR AFRICANS" IS NOT NEGRO SLOGAN Coal miners would sound foolish if they said, "We want fair treatment. We also insist that Mr. Astor and Mira Vandbellh should receive us at Newport." That is for Mira Astor and Mira Vandbellh to say. It is for the government to say that all shall have justice. The Blacks in Senegal and Hayti Oppose Marcus Garvey Paris, Sept. 5.—France's two Negro deputies do not agree with Marcus Garvey's contention of "Africa for Africans." Diagne, the colored deputy from Senegal, and Candace, from Guadeloupe, today declared: Colored people themselves know that there is no such thing as social equality. In one of their best churches in Washington not long ago a very dark lady cepa was told to sit in the back seat. The lighter colored mutants were told to sit in the front work for that.—From one of the Heartst papa. "We do not hate the white race. What we seek is conciliation and collaboration. "Our evolution and development depends upon relations with the white race. We would lose everything if we were isolated in Africa." Liberia, Candace pointed out, is less developed than the French colonies that have black populations. "If I were asked to choose," the Negro deputy said. "I would reply, 'I am black, but I am French first.'" Candace attacked America's attitude toward the colored races and ex-President Wilson's attitude in refusing them racial equality. Bellegarde, the Haitian Minister, who is here for the Negro congress, corroborated the attitude of the colored deputies. lons as individuals—some of them may have, but generally in all human history it is families, nations, races, to whom Almighty God has given missions, and as a Race we have a MISSION "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" I have no word of condemnation for the ignorant and criminal classes among us. They are the victims of more than three centuries of contact with the white man's civilization, realizing that he is not a cultivated, fined and cultured as the white man. The white man, while getting a thin vencer of civilization for himself, has crushed the black man into groveling animality, dehumanized our race, brutalized and debauched our women, and taunts us with being ignorant, knowing well that the responsibility is his. Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa—All Negroes Asked to Subcribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund"; that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is not entirely creditable to the manhood and honor of the dominant race to despise the Negro for what it has made him by its policy of oppression, the South and repression in the North. My wrath rises against the contemptuous Christianity of the whites and its phrasical pretentions to goodness it never possessed, and my sorrow and pain possessed, the poor blind and wretched people—the white man's cunning, power, rapacity, avarice and greed. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

A people of African descent, scarcely seven hundred miles from our own shores, with a government of their own, have had their government suppressed and their liberties destroyed by the Department of the United States within the majority of a declaration of war by the United States Congress as required by the Constitution. In the presidential chair our "cracker" marries have installed a puppet in the person of Monseur D'Artiguenze to carry out their mission. While the republic have been either suppressed or degraded; unoffending black citizens have been wantonly butchered in cold blood, and thousands have been forced into slavery to labor on the military roads without pay. Here is American imperialism in its stark repulsive nature, and what are we going to do about it? All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa.

This is an opportunity that lies ready to our hands and our voices, an intelligent purposeful one we could at least make our voices heard and heeded in Washington on behalf of our brothers in black who are suffering seven hundred balles away. Pending this, we could inaugurate gigantic propaganda meetings in such places as Fansuell Hall, Madison Square Garden and the Negro churches; we could in our newspapers and magazines agitate for the withdrawal of the forces of the American occupation, as the Irish did on behalf of the United States, by gigantic-petition with a million signatures and carry it to Congress. Even so, "gigant protest parade" would become usptter than this glavian apathy and egregious acclineence in which we are new sunk.

Washington Deprived Him of Valuable Support at the Beginnings—Delivers Valedictory Address on Principles and Dectrine of U: N. L. A. for Guidance of Workers The business session of the second international convention of Negroes came to a close on Wednesday morning, August 11, when after Dtime Service, the cath of office was administered to the newly elected cemeteria. The celebrates assembled for the last time on Wednesday night but the cath was not attended by the cath, which the music was a very impressive feature, was held in Liberty Hall. The President-General wound up the Congress with a lecture on the history of the organization. He also took the opportunity to give some useful counsel to the delegates on the eve of their departure for their respective fields of labor. He pointed out errors committed to the past, revealed pitfalls and showed how they might be avoided in the future. In a manner may be exhibited, the Congress convinced the Congress that in the Constitution" were to be found all the tests workers needed for proclamation speeches. Much capital had been made by ensembles of the U N I. A. and A. C. L. in the past of the rumor, which had gained currency, that the leaders of the U N I. A. be the lads of the late Booker T. Washington, whom they regarded not as a great leader but as the tool of oppressors of the race. This he was effectively nailed by the President-General. He assured the house that he had received protesters from the interior gentleman and was about to call from Jamaica in 1814 to visit Tukkegee, when he learned with the greatest sorrow of his death. He thereupon postponed his departure for the United States for a later date, and on his arrival he may homage to the premises of the great leader Of great importance was the formulating of rules and regulations for the establishment of a Juvenile Department. The feeling of Congress was that efforts should be made to negro history in them race pride and race love. It was pointed out that the schools of alien races did not educate the Negro child along these lines. Many of the books which were placed in the hands of the Negro child were calculated to impress him with a sense of his inferiority in the English in a British English Reader. "See the wisdom of these English people: they can make chips talk." This might be excellent occupation for children of British stock might be of great help to the doctrine of Caucasian supremacy, but would hardly prepare the Negro child (today) to lay before us of carrying on the work for the redemption of Africa.

JUVENILE DEPARTMENT TO BE ESTABLISHED Communist League, and the delivery of a charge to the delegates with hints and suggestions for the furtherance of the cause. At the morning session he reviewed the life of the organization. He said he first conceived the idea of founding the organization in 1914 after travelling through England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary, and Germany. Extensive travels in those countries revealed to him the importance of national identity, militarily and otherwise. It occurred to him that, is the Negro must become a recognized factor in world government, the race must solidify itself through the medium of one great organization based on international principles. With this idea in mind he called from England in June, 1914, arriving in Jamaica on the 18th of July. His plans having been mapped out on board ship, he called the first meeting of the Negro organization to the fifth of July, and elected officers. Soon after he wrote to the late Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, telling of his desire to form a world-wide organization of Negroes, and his intention to come to America to further the work. Mr. Booker T. Washington sent a very courteous reply, but the death of a gentleman, occurring shortly after, he had to abandon his trip temporarily. Eventually he called to New York in 1915 to meet with a group of the illustrious gentleman to pay his homage. Obtecicea Overcome The President-General then described the great obstacles he encountered in his efforts to gain a following in the United States, and stated that he had made up his mind to return to jamaica in the spring of 1917, when he became a member of the United States and Mr. Hubert Harrison. Subsequent events soon proved conclusively to him that what was wanted was real Negro leadership. He remained and started the Negro World, and organized the branch of the U. N. L. A. in New York. They started with thirteen members of the Negro World, and their membership had grown to 600. The politicians came, prompted by a desire to further their own ends, but they had to go, after a terrible fight which left him flooded with the task of beginning all over again. This he did, and the Negro World had attained on August last, in spite of opposition from the politicians and other factions. Another Step Onward At the afternoon session the President-General continued his lecture. He resumed as follows: "The internationalization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was amply demonstrated for the first time on August 11, 1942, when he met in the Negro race coming from the four corners of the globe, assembled here in Liberty Hall to convene the First International Convention of Negroes. We had representatives from far-off Africa, from the countries of the West Indies, of Central and South America, and the forty-eight States of the United States, because the U N. L. A. through its organ, the Negro World, had intimated to them that at that convention they were to discuss the future government of the Negroes of the world, and to elect Negroes to lead the entire race. Those of you who were here last year will recall the splendid work we did; and those of you who were read of it. We eat for thirty-one days and thirty-one nights and enacted laws. Some were placed in the "Constitution," and others were classified as a Declaration of Rights of the Negro Race, and we gave those enactments to the world. They have made the circuit of the world, thereby the U N. L. A. and forty-eight States of the United States have come back to this Second International Convention from the four corners of the world." Proceeding, he said he could ask with full authority that the movement was now recognized, known and appreciated not only by individuals, but by government, not only by the government, but by A. G. K. now known, the only among organizations, but not among governments, because it was regarded and appreciated as a government in ambroly. Mistakes of the Head He then beseecked for the unhappy statements which many powers of the organization had sometimes made, though with the best intention, and which were opposed to the true interests of the organization. After pointing out many of the errors made, he contended that the delegates to take the action. In it, he declared, would be found an the transgressors, which who would prescribe Gargeryan. He then emphasized great length the true meaning of article I, section 2 of the constitution, challenge if clause by clause, and asked the duties to explain them to the committees responsible. On the conclusion of the address serv information for their guidance in the work before them. MONDAY NIGHT SESSION Election of Officers Liberty Hall was crowded at the evensl of the election of officers for the ensuing election timed. The following were elected: Speaker in Convention—Hon Adrian Johnson. Assistant President-General — Sir Winston Pryor West Indian Leader (Eastern Province)—Hon Bobbah Smith TWENTY-THIRD DAY Regulations for Juvenile Department On Tuesday morning, August 50, rules and regulations for the Juvenile Department were discussed and passed introduced. They provided for the establishment of the following classified system: (1) Infant Class. (2) Girl's Souvenir Class: Boy's Souvenir Class. (3) Cadeia. (4) Preparatory Norse Class. Rules for teachers and children were formulated. The following resolutions, bearing on the object, were introduced by the Hon H. A. Collins (Banca, Cuba) and carried unanimously: U. N. I. A. School Books Be It Resolved, That this organization publish school books from which all children of this organization shall be taught racial pride, and that this organization be the duty of the Propaganda Institute. (2) Whereas, it is difficult in some countries to find suitable schools for the proper tuition of children of our race: Be It Resolved, That this organization establish school in divisions where necessary and where desired by the members of such divisions. (3) Be It Resolved, that the parents of children attending the schools of this organization be required to contribute to the maintenance of such schools, the fees to be regulated by the local demand. The following resolution was introduced by the Hon. Mary M. Mary Johnson: Be It Resolved, That a Central Exchange be established at the Parent Body for the industrial work of the association, and a woman l. the head be a member of the staff of the Minister of Industry and Labor for the purpose of making flags for conventions and divisions; bannons Black Cross Nurses' garments and all U. N. Cross Nurses' embroidered flags, etc., representing the emblems of the U. N. L. A.; also post cards and all other accessories that can be produced from the work of our women in the various divisions. On motion of His Grace, the Chapman-General, Dr. G. A. McGuire, the suggestion contained in the resolution was referred to the Minister of Industry, Dr. G. A. McGuire, the remainder of the morning session was occupied by the President-General with an appeal to the male and female presidents of divisions to work in unity, and with a statement on the nature of the leadership the organization would require from these presidents, and the situation in the various countries of the world. He hinted that the delegates choice of officers for vacant positions had not met with his entire satisfaction, and made it close that the new officers would have to pass the executive challenge and be allowed to participate in assignments and ability) before they would be allowed to enter upon their respective duties. Office of Provisional Vice-Presidents of Africa Left Vacant It had been decided that the election of a candidate to the office of Honorary Provisional Vice-President of Africa take place during the afternoon session. The matter came before the House soon after the resumption of business for the afternoon, and a long drawn out and heated debate arose. The nominees were: Sir W. H. Furry, Hon. T. J. Carr, Hon. E. V. Morales, Hon. N. J. Francis and Hon. J. C. Gill. The first named was declared insignible in that he had been elected to the position of Assistant President-General, Hon. Carr and Francis declined to contact the election, laying a fund of two-Hons. Modules and Gill Hon. C. A. Rief (Panamai), after the candidates had declared their policy, initiated a lengthy discussion by moving that the election be expanded until proper persons came upon the senate. He had been instructed so to act, he said, by the division he represented. In the end it was agreed that the post be left vacant during the ensuing year, the President-General making a statement to the effect that there was no reason to believe that the office he supported such action, but he too was of the opinion that such an important office should be filled when there was a greater number of nominees to be chosen from. THE CLOSING DAY Divine Service The convention was ascribed on Wednesday, the 1st utl. at 10:30 a.m. Divine service was held, conducted by His Grace the Chapain-General, Dr. G. A. McGuire. The Scripture issue was presented by the High Commissiones General. The sermon was prescheduled by the Hon. Dr. J. R. L. Diggs of Baltimore, Md. The service concluded, the President-General, in a short address, thanked the delegates and deputies for their attendance at the convention and the splendid manner in which they had conceived his conviction that they would return to their homes with renewed spirit and energy to carry on the work for the redemption of Africa. He also read an article from that morning's "Journal of Commerce," which related the purchase of a ship from the United States to the Star Line Steamboat Corporation for the African and West Indian trade. Taking the Gath of Office The cash of office was then administered to the following newly-elected officers: Fred A. Toote, Right Honorable Secretary General. Ulisses S. Poston, Right Honorable Minister of Industry and Labor. Sir William H. Ferris, Right Honorable Assistant President General. Robert D. Deighton Gibson, Right Honorable Sir George General.

On Wednesday night the convention was brought to a close with the holding of a mass meeting at which the President-General, the American leader, and the Chaplain-General spoke.

A full report of the proceedings appears elsewhere in this issue of The Negro World. MRS. KATE LEE JEFFERSON PASSES WILMINGTON, Del.

You can only save yourself from him by knocking him down. (Laughing and Applause.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not going to waste any time teaching philosophy the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not going to waste any time teaching religion to the white man because God Almighty through His Son taught him over 2,000 years ago and has not changed. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is therefore trying to mobilize the power and the strength of Negroes so that Negroes with that power and strength can protect themselves anywhere. (Applause.) Mon and women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we have a year of avengous activity before us. Great things can be done; great things can be accomplished in that time; all that we want to do is to rededicate ourselves. The delegates did it before they went away and we are asking the membership throughout the world now to rededicate themselves to the cause of Africa. Let our slogan be for 1831 and 1832: "Africa Free, and Africa Rodeed." With that we shall marvel through the world; we shall march on, and plunging; we shall march on, on, until we plant the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green on the hill tops of Africa. (Applause.) A Free and Redeemed Africa we shall take the age of knowledge, and we will lead them in the way we want them to go, so that when we throw them on, they will be tattered and it will be too late for them to have themselves. Needless statement. You need statesmen at this time, to think out and solve the problem that contends you. If you go, about this thing in a small way you are counting the number of your children and grandchildren, because when they come upon the stage of death they will have confinement, then the realization of the white man's plan, and it is for you to call upon your statesmen and leaders to devise ways and means, by which the present and future generations of Negroes will be asked. As for me with the little insights that God has given me, into things, with the little vision he has given me for leadership. I have come, to the conclusion that the Negro race is free, free and independent Africa, because, I am not philosophy, that rules the world, it power—human power, human force—I must strength that rules the world, the world, and the race and the nation that has that is the race and nation which is supreme. Give power, for great Britain and she is mistress of the world; give power of the world; give power to the United States and United Sam rules the universe; give power to Black Africa, and we become the master of the destinies of man. And that is what we want, and that is what we must get if we are going to survive. Survival of the Fittest Again I say it is a question of the arrival of the fittest. Only the fittest individual will live; only the fittest race will survive; only the fastest nation will exist. And I am warning you now to prepare yourselves. Get no criticism turn you from the country you have adopted; let no prejudice or national, turn you away from the great cause of a free and resisted Africa. Come from the question is, what race are you balancing. Therefore I am appealing to Negroes everywhere—the sons and daughters of Ethiopia everywhere to buckle on your armor and let us march, 400,000,000 strong toward the destiny of a free and proclaimed Africa.

And I am appealing to white, yellow and yellow, whose hearts, whose minds are touched with the true feeling of humanity, with the true feeling of human brotherhood, to teach the do- vice of human love, to preach the principle of longer, because the world is our time. All if they could but sweep, the conflict between the power, sweet, fighting, against each what a destruction, what a destruction it will be. CAE can imagine of the indestructible Corsican soldier, as they fall in the past, so will nations fall in the present age, and so will they fall in the future ages to come, the result of their unrighteous peek. I repeat, I warn the world, and I treat you will receive this warning as you go into the four corners of the earth. The white race should teach human beings to cultivate a selfless world. The white race should teach humanity first, because we have been following the cause of humanity for three hundred years, and we have suffered much. If a change must come it must not come from Negroes; it must come from whites; they are the ones who have brought about this estrangement between the races. The Negro never hatred; at no time within the last five hundred years can they point to one single instance of Negro hatred. The Negro has loved the Negro, and the Negro has loved him. In slavery the Negro loved his master; he protected his master; he safeguarded his master's home. "Greater love hath no man than that he should lay down his life for another." We gave not only our service, our unwrapped labor; we gave not only our heart, we gave our all to our oppressors. But, after all, we are living in a material world, even though it is partly spiritual, and since we have been very spiritual in the past, we are going to take a part of the material now, and will give others the opportunity to practice the spiritual side of life in our community, to help humanity; I am not telling you to lead in the bringing about of the turning of humanity, because you have been doing that for three hundred years, and you have lost. But the compromise must come from the dominant races. We are warning them. We are not preaching a doctrine of hatred, and I trust you will not go back to your respective home and preach such a doctrine. We are not preaching a doctrine of humanity, a doctrine of human love. But we say love begins at home; "charity begins at home." We have a right to a large part in the Political horizon, and I say to you that we are preparing to occupy that spot. Go back to your respective corners of the earth and preach the real doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of universal emancipation for women, the doctrine of a free and a redeemed African. I will now read the resolution, the adoption of, which I move and I hope you will see it is to your interests to vote its adoption unanimously. Do II. Resolved. That we, the duty elected representatives of the Negro peoples of the world, assembled in this Second Annual Convention, do protest against the distribution of the land of Africa, by the Surgeon Council and the White Man, while unlawful of the world. Africa by right of heritage, is the property of the African race, and those home and those abroad are now sufficiently their own American. This convention believes in the right of Europe, Japan, and Africa to abolish the African slave and those abroad. We believe that, that only a slave and unqualified abolition of this principle, will prevent threatening race were that must include: slaves of over-privileged and humanly. At the last Exhibition THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMEER 10, 1621 the chain, unleashed His Excellency the American Leader, the Hon. Dr. J. W. Eason, agree to second the resolution saying that because of the fact, expressed in the resolution, that the Negro peoples of the world, the civilized groups of Negroes in the world, are now sufficiently trained to manage their own affairs, including the territory of Africa, as well as Haiti, San Domingo, Liberia and other independent countries, and demand the resolution and recommended its adoption by the convention. Continuing the American Leader said: "In the next place, I second this resolution because it for no other reason than this: that the $20,000 black soldiers, representing the highest intelligence of the Negroes of North America, the went from here to here to here, representing the highest state for democracy, and the thousands and thousands of black soldiers from Africa under the French flag and under the British flag, and even under the Belgian flag, who fought to keep the German burgers from crossing the border, and to maintain them in the dividing up of the spots (Applanes). And since we, the representatives of the Negroes of the world, assembled in this convention have understanding sufficient to realize that Europe is for the Europeans, that Asia is for the Asians, that we are even more than we are, and that white man for they have charge of it, anyhow (Laughter); we therefore should adopt this resolution, which I strongly and unqualifiedly endorses. Because we firmly believe that the League of Nations ought to turn over the North American territories of the representatives of the Negroes of the world (they have taken from Germany's possession). (Applanes.) The motion was then put by the chair, and carried unanimously, as pressed by a rioting vote. The Chaplain General Speaker The President-General resumed the chair and called upon His Grace the Chapman General, who delivered the following address: "Your Excellency and Friends: Just as we were about to begin the religious service this morning, one of the delegates approached me and made the speech request to the president of the main platform speeches that I am accustomed to give or a political speech, such as the two political leaders you have just heard deliver, and especially as I am about to lay down the robes of my office after one year of service to this cause—that on this present occasion I am asked to give the robes of theates who have come from the four corners of the globe. Accordingly, acting upon the suggestion, I selected a suitable speech of Scripture and receiving the consent of His Excellency to give a short 15-minute discourse, rather than a political speech, I will not read to you a selection of theses. In chapter 14.15, "Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward." That's a request from one of your delegation, and I hope it is a request that his hans-made on behalf of many of his fellow-delegates now about to wander their way homeward. Was the situation in which Moses and his people found themselves; a mountain to the right of them, a mountain to the left of them, the Red Sea in front of them, and the Egyptian army behind them. Escape seems to be impossible. The pursuing enemy is closing in upon them, and the ranks of infantry, with their companies of cavalry, fast approaching, and the hour of destruction seems close at hand. In fact, despair entered two millions of Hebrew people, and they turned upon their leader; they turned upon him with bitter sarcasm. Moses "was here to have met the wilderness." Was it because there were not sufficient graves in Egypt to bury us? Would to God that we had died slaves in Egypt, that we should have been massacred here in the wilderness. But leader of men as Moses was, the servant of Moses was, the servant of the great quillity rises, as God before that multitude. He stands for silence. "Fear not, not he says; 'Teen not ye; stand ye still, and see the salvation of God. You shall see the salvation of God, and you shall see them no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.' And now the enemy is drawing nearer. The moment, the last moment for Divine intervention has come, and Moses is praying silently, and he asks for help. He helped his people; to help them now, and Jabvah answers: "Moses," he says, "whereart or thou crying unto me in prayer? Moses, stop praying. Speak unto the Children of Israel that they may hear that you shall be in thy hand; it over the sea, and the waters shall divide." You know, everyone of you, the sequel of that story—how the Hebrew children matched through the Red Sea on dry land; how the Egyptian people, pursuing them, ran in thoughtlessly, with their swords; how the Egyptian story. You know how Moses, leading the men of Israel, burst into a triumphant song, and how his sister, Milim, catching the fervor of the spirit of the location, led the women of Israel with timbals and chooses in the song that has been written. *Bound the land limbs* *Over Sahara's dark men* *Drowned* *His people are* *Speak into the Children of Israel* *TEXT: We up forward.* as the Universal Negro Improvement Association—forward Africa, the Iod Gen will look up before us to knock our pathway to the Promised Land of our forefathers; the mountain of difficulty will hedge us in on the right; the mountain of strength will hedge us in the left; while behind us there will be a relentless attack of persecutors and enemies. In that hour of our crisis, when it shall come let us lead our organization—in that hour of crisis, whether it comes or later, let us be calm, and let us be strong. In that hour of our crisis, still allow men of the Negro race; stand still and see this day, the salvation of God! Confidence in God is a wonderful asset; it is the most valuable asset of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Look over our career in the past two or three years every one of you, and you will observe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a plan of man, it is a plan of God. Mouse and Garvey And so one year, between Southampton, England, and Bridgwater, Barbados, another Moses, a Negro, commited with God, and out of the deep God called out to him; and just as Moses of old brought down the ancient law that the Hebrews might obey the commandments of God, so Moses of old brought down the God for the Negro people of today. (Applanes.) "It is not a plan of man," he says to them; "It is a plan of God." Man you who have observed and are observing the progress of the race ever since 1913 until today, will agree with me when I say that it is more than a plan of man; it is a plan of God; "there is a divinity that shapes our rough, rough how them we live, places in places during these three or four years, just as Israel was in a tight place at the Red Sea; but Almighty God has brought us thus far in our journey. Confidence, then, is a most valuable asset. Confidence in the past stimulates our confidence for the future. Let any Red Sea of danger confront us in the future; let any mountain of difficulty or hard luck use us in the future; let any storms and storms use us in our rear in the future; above us all, above the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green there is a God, the God of Ethiopia; not the God of Abraham, not the God of Isaac, not the God of Jacob, not the God of Hebrew, but the God of Ethiopia. He looks down upon this association and speaks unto the children of Him, that they may go forward." "Forward" be our watch-word. Steps and voices join. For the things before us; not a look behind; Burns the very pilars at our before head. Who shall dream of shrinking by our Moses' feet? Onward we travel the desert-through the desert, through the toll and fig217. The Niger bows before us: African beams with light. And with confidence let there be prayerfulness. In that critical hour prayers upon God. He was a great leader, the most important Testament time, as Marcus Garvey is the greatest leader in New Testament times. (Applause.) Great leader, however, though he was Moses called upon God in the critical hour, and all great geniuses, especially military geniuses, were called upon God to have held their half-house with God. R is said that the great general of England, General Gordon, before every battle, spent half an hour in prayer. History records that General George Washington every morning, as a devout Episcopalian, spent half an hour reading the Bible, and spent half an hour Common Praise, and that the white flag outside of the tent of the general was a signal that no man, however pressing his business, should dare approach the tent to see him, for he was all alone at that moment in prayer in the church. He was then been all of prayer, and this great man leader (referring to the President-General) is no exception to the rule. sea; through the sea to safety on the other side. Some of you men and women pray too long (Laughers) Pray in the critical periods of your life; that is right. But when the order comes from God to "go forward," you fail to govern yourself accordingly, you fail to care for others, and the thing you to receive; you ask Him and continue seeking Him when God has opened the door for you to enter. No, friends; don't keep praying when you should be moving forward. Johavah asked Moses: "What's the matter with you that you are praying to long?" You pray to God; I opened the door to you; have I not divided the Red Sea and given you a pathway? Go forward." Go Forward And so my message to you, my valedictory message to you tonight, as your Chapman-General, is that you go forward and attempt to conquer and to surmount that which seemingly is impenetrable in Gance, Italy, saw a vision of a western world, a new hemisphere across the Atlantic. He told that vision to his fellow-men in Italy; they lamented him to scorn. They said: "Columbus are you going to dominate the world, and nothing of, and that exists only in the imagination? 'Tex' he replies, 'I will attempt it' again told him they was impossible. Not daunted, he went to the King and Queen of Italy, with no success. He then went to the King and Queen of Spain, with no success. At last, almost in deepest, he went before King Ferdinand, and Queen Isabella of Spain, and plained with them for assistance. He was successful. The King and Queen supplied him with the necessary means in order to conquer and conquer what men had called the impossible—in seventy days, in three tiny able, with mutiny on board, and battling, at great odds, the mad waves of the sea—billowing Atlantic, he crossed the great ocean and revealed, in North America and the Islands of the Carribean Sea! Columbus knew no impossibility; he simply went forward. Admiral Pearl, after centuries of effort on the part of white men to discover the "North Pole" "sided hither" to the North, has been defeated once or twice, he has been defeated once, and he quarrels over the impossible: and, with a Negro at his side—with Matthew Henson at his aide, he at last, by his great effort, stood 80 degrees north of the Equator, and conquered that which hitherto impossible—conquered the North Pole. The Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio, have decided that they would conquer the air with a machine made heavier than air itself. They tried, and they tried again, and again they failed. They tried harder, and again they failed in the air except by gas, by hydrogen—some thing lighter than air itself. "No," they said; "we will conquer the impossible." And today it is demonstrated to the world that the air is the most impossible and gained a complete victory, so that men can now navigate the air. Marcus Garvey, the indomitable Negro in this day said he would bring the infliction of the Negroes of the world—Nigeria, the Nigerians and the Negroes of the South, who were divided, even in this country—the Negroes of the American, as well as the Negroes of the West Indian, between the Natives and the Negroes of the friction—the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere and the Negroes of Airon, between whom there are many differences. Men said to Garvey: "It has attempted, and has never been done." No Negro has ever yet been able to marshall Negroes together under one flag and with one aim." But he attempted that which man considered impossible, that he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and the people stood fast. Then, through the agency of the Negro World—the greatest Negro paper in the world, he forthright plan for the unification and the emancipation these people. Then he organized the Negro Factories Corporation; then he began the Black Star Lina, the greatest commercial and industrial proposition, last year, the African Reconstruction for the reconstruction of Liberia industrially and commercially. Finally, he launched what is today, to my mnd, the greatest of all that, which will the world ever to their heart-strings—the African Redemption Fund. No; this man never knows what impossible is. 14 Christopher Columbus, 17 Napolon, 11 Pearl, 11 the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio—all white Anglo-German—often conquer other F·I·T·S Excuse me of being busy, but I am here to answer your questions.

Go forward to you, sir (turning to the President-General); my last word to you, Most Excellent Provisional President of Africa. One of the greatest honors of my life, to be identified with you during the month since my election here in this Cradle of Liberty as Chaplain-General of this, the greatest association among Negroes. It has been a privilege, not a sacrifice—a privilege to have been a your cabinet. I have endeavored to be you as Aaron of old was the High Priest of God, and the leader, the law-giver. I may not have spoken many“worth of praise in your august presence, behind your back,” sir, as those who heard me in Cuba and elsewhere in this country where I visited can testify, I bestowed that mood of praise to which you are the Lord of God, as those who heard Jesus Christ said, “If I be lifted to draw all men unto me!” I have said, behind your back, sir. “If Marcus Carvoy be lifted up he will draw all Negroes unto him and unto Africa.” I have done that faithfully, sir. I have not made any sacrifices to talk about; but whatever talents God has given me and that which he has brought and of physical strength—I have brought and laid them at your feet in the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and now, sir, because of the hard and literal translation and interpretation of I find that I cannot be at your sage as an Aaron in your Exaltation, and that I ranks behind, with the followers, marching on. Though I cannot be on the staff any more, I shall as an hum- the individual number of the occasion continue to do all in my power for the furtherance of your apple cause and to uphold your hands as our leader. Here the speaker regurgitated this verse: "Of Chaplain-General that, it was because of the holy vows he had taken when antinging the priesthood, and since how it is desired by the association that as Chaplain-General he devote his life time and endeavor to the work of the priesthood, and thus it impossible, under the circumstances, to accept a re-creation as such offence. When, in his early twenties, he was ordained, he said: "Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to The Lord. Take my moment and my day. Let them flow in ceaseless praise." Ask if he should break that vow, he added that he also vowed at that time: "All I am, I give to Jesus; All I have and all I need; All I have and all I hope for. While Eternal Angels roll." "Go forward, Prince and soldier! Fear not the enemies of might. Thy God has been thy shield, Thy God will be thy light." At this Sacrature His Highness the Potentiae the Hon. Gabriel M. Johnson, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, arce and said: Now I with the authority vested in me by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, do declare this second international convention of Negroes of the World for the year 1891 decreed by the Chaplain-General pronounced the benediction, whereupon the convention adjourned.

Written as the request of a membray of the U. N. L. A.) Unfurl the Red, the Black and Green, And let it proudly wave. The only flag that ever lit The pathway of the slave. Four hundred million stand beneath The Red, the Black and Green. On this summer day to view To serve the Southern Queen. The declaration of our rights Has gone around the world. In every land where black men dwell Our flag has been unfried. The birthday of a scattered race Has made the angels sing. And freedom has enveloped earth At last with her soft wing. On, on to Africa, we brave! Four hundred million strong Shall terrorize the hearts of knaves— And right shall conquer wrong. This day shall long commemorate Our freedom—it shall be A day that all the *rid* may know The slave has been set free: And Africa has been redeemed! We'll sail the briny wave, And live beneath the flag and sky That God in wisdom gave. Send up three cheers for Africa— T' Red, the Black and Green! Hurrah for Marcus Garvey, Who has saved the Southern Queen! No more we'll bow on weakling knees To gyrants in this land! For God has board his children ory And clasped the African hand.

Freedom from oppressors' bondage; Freedom from the white chain; Freedom from all ostracism. This is what we Negroes claim. Lack we not ought of valor. Our men are brave and true; Mentally weighed, yet not found wanting. Shall we not share in glories, too? When the morning glories break On African's sunny hands; And the time for action calls on How and where, men, will you stand? And ye women of the race. Think not men must do it all. There is a plague, niche somewhere— That every one must fill. That we lack courage, and constancy. We'll knock the man on every hand, And vice will be the victory. MRS. A. PORTER Montreal Canada.

Before he had his dream: His stars had not a single spark. Nor moon the slightest beam. Nor sign of winds concordial blow, Nor cooling springs of 'love'; Nor 'unity' within them show All these gudge them above. Single-handed stood each Hamita, Confident of his strength; United other races fight, To gain their aims at length. While the Hamites stood oppression, Half-paid, hard-worked, despair, Glassed in degradation, Nor these wrongs realized. Wake from sleep a furious Hamita, Telling lond his dream: 'Awaka, you Negroon, stand, unite, Let's be a mighty stream! "Why sit and beg for peace so long, When you, too, have your 'whole': Your equal right to resist wrong, Sight fight, claim your 'doe!' "It is our own dear Africa, The same as days of bid; I came, sent by Jehovah, Fear not, your rights uphold." Not from the bullrushod mud-built ark On Egypt's mighty dams By the mansions nature's park, Came Marcus Garvey's dream. It wakes the senses that were dead In kikman of our race; Taught every man to use his head, And look 'the world in face. The fire kindled from his spark Is now a mighty flame; Decking Negroes 'board its bark, U. N. L. A. its name. Whore fighting that fatherland Will be a nation, freed From the oppressing tyrant's hand, The white man's soorn and greed.

ORDER YOUR COPY-NOW, PRICE, 25c, POSTAGE, 2c To the Editor of the Public Ledger: Eir- Since time began mankind has been divided into two types of temperament—the political and, the conservative. The radical is habitually temperamental—the conservative change through evolution. He would rather prove all things than to hold fast to what is good. The conservative is disposed to be content with things as they are and deprecates effort at reform. Social progress is the result of these two conflicting tendencies. In the fundamental sense there are very few Negro radicals. The Negro nature possesses the conservation of inertia. Some Negroes are cautious, while others are courageous in the expression of their conservation. The cautious conservative believes in the preservation of the nation, as distinguished from the radical who advocates change for the love of innovation. The Negro who is content with existing conditions is a satisfied simpiston: when the Negro who advocates the destructive radicalism is a distracted leader, his leadership was divided into two hostile camps, based upon quiescence on the one side and assertion on the other. There never has been a Negro conservative in the sense of satisfaction, with existing status, but merely in the sense of prudential silence in the other. All right-minded Negroes everywhere and at all times must want equal and impartial laws, equally, and impartially applied. Any other attitude is simply unthinkable. Every Negro today who is using his brain above the dead level of a livelihood is pronounced in deserved rights. He would not be a worthy American if this were not so. Any individual or group of individuals who are willing to accept without protest term than the fullness of the stature of American citizenship is not fit materially to be about to unheroin. The leaders of any suppressed people should speak boldly, even though they be ambassadors in bona fide. It is not impossible for the Negro to be proucous and sensible at the same time. He may not be able to overcome, but he must not let such conditions cover his spirit or earn his soul. The highest function of the higher education of the Negro is not merely to produce a set of educated automata who can play a handkerchief or pruning device, but to develop a class of men who can state the case and plead the cause of the masses in terms of persuasive speech and literary-power. Their voice should not be controlled or constrained by any outside coercion. Their attitude must be candid, and their intelligence must be high function of interpreting to the world the feelings, hopes and aspirations of the people who look to them for leadership and direction. Every institution of learning, North and South, has produced its quotas of knowledge upon the fulfillment of the Declaration of Independence and the Con- attition of the United States. This consequences attitudes in. shown by Troiter, of Harvard; Du Bois, of Fla- th; Pike, of Harvard; Pajas, of Pasajie, Miller and Clark, of Haward; James Weldom, Johnson and L. H. Mushger, of Atkapa; Willi- nard H. Ferris, of Yale; William Pickens of Yale and Talladega; Tennessei Ab- nexion of Hampton; Moseley Ab- nexion and Max. Jarbies and Candian Owens, of Virginia-Uton. It is no reflection to say that those Negroes today who take, any other public attitude are operating on a lower level of moral courage and intellectual understanding and are moved to believe in the power of prudence. This spirit is not limited to the educated Negro, but pervades the entire mass of the race—the man between the plow handle, the mechanic applying his tool, the miner in the bowels of the earth, the Pullman-power, the barber, the mental in the police, the man in the actuated by the same spirit and are moved by the same impulse. Although they may not be able to give voice to the sentiment which they feel, they quickly respond when it is expressed and interpreted for them. The new Negro has arrived. The time has come for the new spirit. In the time of revolution there is but a tenuous partition between timidity and cowardice. If Booker T. Washington were living today with all the high prestige of his personality, patronage and power, he would not be able to hold the Negro to his awed doctrice of prudential silence on the issue of牢hood rights.

U. R. I. A. JOILD DE MASS MEETING The spirit of Garvey was beautifully channeled by the worship of the Philadelphia church, Twelfth street, behind Brixton street, Thursday evening, June 11. This meeting was opened by singing the required hymn "From Creamland's Air Alumnae" followed by the Playat. Before begin the program began the church held a fellowship of members. Members from every branch were represented at the meeting. The program was ably connected by the lady president, Mrs. Estella Kintmahwa, in her well known charming way in which the people never tire of the Queen. The queen were rendered by Mrs. Ethel King, vice-president; Mrs. Mia King, general secretary; Mrs. Fulton, executive secretary of the Queen Hill branch; Mrs. Frances Prashad, third vice-president, and Mrs. Harrison. A beautiful solo was rendered by Miss Glisa Erans. A patriotic solo was rendered by Miss Drums Washington. The president, H. L. A. Francis, being late on account of business, he was gladly welcomed by all. This meeting proves that Philadelphia as a whole has caught the spirit of Garvey. Officers co-operate with officers and members with members. Philadelphia is closing ranks and marching ahead, led by their noble president, Dr. L. A. Francis, and the little brown woman, Mrs. Estella Kintmahwa, lady president. Mrs. Estella Kintmahwa is royally entertained and enjoyed very much the meeting from beginning to end.

Hate I'm sick and weary, grieved and sad, And I am sick. I feel as they I'll soon be mad Or never be controlled. Dark is my room and strained my eye. Alone I'll stay all night! I'll stop taming. I'll not cry. But sleep in peace aright. My memory wanders far away, I see the trotic skid. And all the villas green display Gives pleasure to my eyes. I see my little sister-Kate. She sits with glacestone eyes; I see my mother by the gate. She greets the passers-by. I see my grand old and gray, I hold her u 'ing hand; I hear her spin 'ne away From Chand 'a trifl land. I hear my father's deepened voice, His speaks in terms of me; He heart his brain his blood, rejoices In grateful symphony. MR. BRIES, EDITOR OF THE CRUSADER KTC, MIS TAKEN IN HIS VIEWS OF THE CONGRESS, SAYS W. Q. SINER, EDITOR OF THE COMING ISSUE Mr. W. O. Singer, of Detroit, in conversation with a Negro world correspondent recently, declared that Mr. Brigden, who has applied considerable printer's ink to criticisms of the International Convention, should understand that the angle from which Garvey adhereves view those problems that directly concern their hopes and animations as a special group in society is as different from the policy of the A. B. B as is different from right. For instance, the A. B. B hopes to stop lynching in the United States and to affirm that this thought only exposes the gentilman's importance (not the bravery) but the cowardly tactics that may be employed by whites to force their purpose without regard to its justice or injustice to the Negro. I believe that building up a powerful government of the world, Negro people of the world, which government can in time protect black men in white men's governments wherever the sun shines, I believe that the only possible solution of what has practically become the Negro problem of the world. Men don't give rights; justice never exists except where equal rights are available. Negroes fighting against one hundred million whites, ninety-one per cent. of whom are preaching white supremacy from Maine to Florida is really commendable, but foolish and allows the extent of misdirected energy by those leaders of the race that dwell only in the darkest corners of the growing consciousness of the groups of whites throughout the world, the unaspet of the oppressed masses of darker leaders, to concentrate upon a given objective instead of fighting a little handful at the time would be to like the German leaders, study, work, and learn. Negroes, in the meantime, might invincible title, they can rise and sweep an one mighty united stroke, all opposition to justice and democracy from the field. NEW YORK CITY TAKES STEPS TO HANDLE UNEMPLOYMENT Urban League Represented by James H. Hubert The city authorities and welfare agencies have at last given evidence of their willingness to take some steps to relieve the present unemployment crisis. Bird B. Colen of the Department of Public Welfare, is chairman of a committee made up of various agencies throughout the city organization, handle industrial and social problems. James B. Hubert executive secretary of the Urban League of New York city, who has been appointed on the committee, and is to see that the interests of the colored workers are safeguarded, states that the committee will control the efforts made here to anticipate plan to prevent as far as possible the threatened industrial crisis due to lack of employment. Sub-committees are being formed for each borough to provide employment and relief. These borough committees will be composed of representatives from the borough's political faiths, together, with those representing the recognised employment and relief agencies. According to figures gathered by the Urban League, the employment situation in the borough does not improve, but has gradually improved, and the study "completed of more than 6,000 colored imagemore shows that fully 75 per cent, are either unemployed or working only two and three days per week. Among other groups, women and men are employed and porters. Hereof it has been an unhard of thing for colored men to appeal for relief; however, during the last few months large numbers have applied at the office daily to unemployment. In many families, women are the sole bread-earners. The permanent committee holds its first meeting on Wednesday of next week, when the Industrial Aid Bureau will be formed. According to Mr. Moore, the committee will have vide work; special attention will have to be given to persons actually belonging in New York. Program of the committee is to include the actual listing of all unemployed persons. The committee will furnish sequestration slips, four rows of such unemployed persons who have been residents for one year, and to their dependents until such time as they are able to obtain employment and remuneration therefrom.

A Mr. Williams of Lages left home for America ten years ago and changed his name to Forquh One. To Mr. A. S. Wyttes Shachiford of Lages regarding Madarikan Denilay, the fake prince. Mr. Shachiford to Adorey Denilay, a real prince. And this is the reply of the real prince regarding Madarikan Denilay, the fake prince:— P. O. Box 226, Literary Bureau 48 Williams Street, Lagos, N July 29th, 1981. In reply to your letter of even date, in which you desire me to give whatever information I may be in possession himself, Madakaran Denbyl, Prince of Lagoa, masquerading and begging alms in the United States of America." I would my知 that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there is NO prince of Lagoa, nor any other past king of Lagoa, any other past king of Lagoa, posing as a prince and soliciting alms in United States of America. A Mr. Williams of Oin Road, Lagoa, was a prince of Lagoa, years ago, it is said, to study hyponation, and who, it was rumored, met with a rough handing from one Dr. De Lawrence over there some time ago. I am told, has changed his name to Yoruba and has been intermarrying a prince in America, dependent yetgh not. You are at liberty to make use of what ever manner commandable to you. Mr. Shackleford's letter regarding PROGRAM FOR THE CHARTER UNVELING Celebration of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L., Luderitzbuch Division, No. 294, Southwest Africa the sake Madarafian Deniz follows. Lagos, Aug. 8, 1831. My dear Dear," I am ill as I am for some days now; can hardly sit up to write to you, but I must, as I think I have your friend, Prince Deniz cornered at last. I unclose the information obtainable in Lagos about this importer. He is not prince of Abdubai or any of the fellow states, but have no fear; strife the fellow hard. Let me tell you something: Owing to the strict wardship kept over the princes by the dominant white power under which there small kingdoms find themselves existing, a boy or girl of royal blood cannot leave his or country alone without an annulation of the government and by their own be chaperoned by white simsaries of the government. From this, therefore, you will observe how impossible "Prince Denixi" is. The trouble with us in America is we open our arms very foolishly to any man calling himself an African or an African prince, with the result that we are duped immediately, the better class of Africans do not like them and then they do not go beyond England. Kyaka Qarayet left Lagos a renegade from jutice, a thief; he came up to America; you made a fuss over him and in the exilement he robbed folks up there to the fune of many thousands of dollars. He was right. What does Africans know about high finance or great business organizations? Nothing we have ever seen makes them very dangerous as local traders; take them above that they are outclassed. Please warn our good people up there about these imposters who come back boasting of their conquest and the stupidity of foreign Negroes, and when foreign Negroes come to Africa they boast of their chance or sympathy, let alone help from the blighters.

Editor Negro World, Please, permit me, grant, in your valuable papers just to say a few words with regards to, to the colored folks, or Toronto and what they are, Noble, Dear sir, the colored man of Toronto all: loyal members of the U. N. A. have formed another, the U. N. A. just, the colored man, the colored Order of Scottish Mechanic Friendly Society, Polkema's Temple Lodge, No. 28, another link which also, means the binding of the colored folks together.

In these regular place, of meeting, 64 Railwaymen of the installation of officers, 64 officers, 64 a-p. under the installation of Grandmaster his duties in a very wide-to-date manuscript, assisted by Dr. Bollamy of the same order. A hardy invitation was also extended to all other colored organizations which were well represented. Dr. A. D. Thomson, who represented the T. N. A. in affairs with regard to the young man forming all other society, which meant that they are looking ahead for the future. I take this opportunity of informing my family friends and well-wishers that on and after the death of August, 1921. The reason for our removal is to secure larger, and better quarters so that we will be better, and more comfortable. The regulations are now, "difficult to comply" with the decree mandas of our trade." HIS EXCELLENCE HONOR MAGCUS GARVEY STATES THAT REV. SELKRIDGE WAS NOT DEMISSED ON GROUDS OF THEFT OR FRAUDULENCY The Antony, speaker on Compensation for the Right Hon. Maurice Gavers, said that he desired at this point in the afternoon session to make a new state relations relation to Rev. Bishop J. Frederic Salkeld and his affiliation with this organization at the capacity of a "Field Worker." He said that while serving in the atormental capacity he was sent to the state of Pennsylvania in the interest of the organization. He was entrusted with notes and bonds of the Black Star Line and the Liberian Construction Loan for sale among the members of that state. After four days he returned to the office stating that he had lost the securities with his suitor. He was given twenty-four hours to produce them, and the securities were made in "The Negro World" advertising the loss and the dismissal of the honorable member from the services of the association. This was done as precautionary methods to any one finding the books and selling or attempting to sell the bonds. He made it plain that the Hon. Rev. Salkeld was dismissed on the grounds of carelessness in the performance of his duties and was negligent enough to throw away such valuable securities, or robbery, as has been misinterpreted by many, and asked that this information be conveyed among the members—Convention Minutes.

This man-catcher also took passage money from woman for Cuba and on their arrival were prevented by the captain of the vessel from landing unless $20 was forthcoming, otherwise they were threatened with being taken back from whence they came. Now, then, who is the thief? Understand this Mr. Jack, you have committed tarency by trick, and unless you are prepared to repay Norville and others you are going to have a hot time.

The chairman responded with congratulations of every kind, and then called on the vice-president to render a coin, which he did. The president, Mr. T. E. Myer, again mounted the platform and addressed the audience, bringing a spirit of enthusiasm which concentrated the minds of all the participants in this function.

EAST END U. N. L. A. DIVISION NO. 102 Newport News, Va. Aug. 37.—Last meeting night, August 18, our division opened to the usual manner, with Vice-President Schofield in the chair. Our president, Rev. Subert, was unable to attend, owing to the illness of his family. However, everything was attended to in order and in a business way. Mr. Smith headed a committee from Division No. 6 for the purpose of formulating some plans whereby the two divisions could consolidate. A motion offered and accepted that Division No. 103 call a committee to meet and consider this plan, and he soon as possible report their findings to the committee of Division No. 6. This joint meeting of the two committees is to take place some time next week. Mr. Curry, the president of Division No. 6, and formerly of Division No. 102, attended our last meeting. We sincerely hope that Mr. Curry's transfer and elevation to the presidency of Division No. 6 will ultimately mean constructive and not destructive, therefore his efforts are now within for success. In every way possible we are striving to enlist our meetings, with the future very bright. It is encouraging to note that our field is large and the people are beginning to be responsive to the work of this organization. All eyes are present are on the outcomes of this work. We work on our plans and principles worked out there no doubt will be a great incentive for the increase in membership everywhere. Therefore we are looking forward to the future with this effect in view. N. COLATUS DREW, Division Reporter, No. 123 271 street. Hercules Hair Grower CAMAGUEY DIVISION REJOICES OVER WORK OF THE CONVENTION On Sunday, August 21, we held our general mass meeting. A large crowd of earnest Negroes attended, all waiting expectantly to hear some news of the convention, the world's greatest event. M. T. Myer, late president, called the meeting to order at 8 o'clock sharp. The opening ode was sung, followed by a reading of the prayer from our Constitution by Chaplain B. White The president then arrows, and he calm but vicious manner addressed the audience, which listened elitantly for more than fifteen minutes. His subject was the convention, which is based on the two greatest needs of the U. N. I. A.-love and unity. He extended his heartbeat gratitude to the high and able leaders of the race 'or proving worthy of the confidence he had in them. He entrusted the audience to support them and never to worry of doing good. He asked his bearers to pray that the Lord may bestow upon them all heavenly power so strengthen them that they may overcome all their obstacles. He asked the officers of the division to act in through concord, live in peace and harmony, so that the members may be given increased confidence in their ability and honesty of purpose. He thanked the audience for the time given and the patience manifested in listening to his remarks. He called for three cheers for the workers in convention. This caused an exhibition of spirit and enthusiasm, in Liberty Hall that continued to the close of the meeting. The next speaker was our chaplainp, Mr R. White, who took his text from Joahna v. 1.5 "And the wells of the city shall fall down," and who spoke with his rural eloquence. The singing of the hymn, "Shine On, O Star," followed. Our lady president spoke briefly, after dust was rendered by Mimes. Mandir Wahid, a singer, Floretta Dickenson gave a fine recitation, followed by a song composed and sung by Miss R.

The bran, "Onward Christians Soldier!" then ran through the crowded sides of the ball while the collection was being taken. A solo by the vice-president, Mr. E. Blackwood, entitled "The Gem of the Ocean," was excellently rendered. The band then gave a selection and received generous applause. Before the close of the meeting one new member was added to the fold and a subscription of $22.45 was received for the convention. A lady friend of the U. N. I. A was the last speaker. This lady admitted that she was convinced by the reading of the last issue of The Negro World, which contained the news of the great work being done by the convention. Observing that Camaguy division is gradually climbing the ladder of success, she decided no longer to be only a friend, but in a short time to become an active member of the division. The meeting was brought to a close by singing "Bring Them In." followed by prayer. The anthem, "Ethiopia," was then song by the gathering, after which it dispersed. Yours for the right. H.

The establishment is an issue of the true manifestation of Garverson by a New Negro. On the 11th inst. at 2 p. m. Bro. Stephen A Gayle, an active member of this division, breathed his last. On receiving the news D. Erasmus Thorpe president of the local division, proceeded to the home of the deceased, and laid claim to the burial in the name of the U N I A. After having done so the Rev Harold C. Dunn (a white Belfrhmman) visited the house of the official handling of the funeral the solicitation was informed by the wife and brother of deceased that deceased was a member of the U N I A. and Mr. D. Thorpe was in change of name. A Bystander, however, gave a resistor of the effect that if in case he (the Rev. Dunn) was needed he would be informed later on! The reverending gentleman, however, gave no communication with President Thorpe threupon called a meeting of his cabinet, and after being satisfied about the brother's legal claim upon the deceased, the financial fund for his interment. The wife of deceased was then acquainted with all the arrangements made, and readily acquouled thereto. At 5 p.m. on the 12th a procession, headed by the Muntipal Band, composed as follows: Chiplin J. J. Brown, assisted by Bro. J. B. Wray, N. U. I. A. charter borne by two ladies of the Honorary Advisory Board. The corps, followed by about sixteen pall-bearers in rows of four, and ladies and children also in rows of four marshaled by Mr. D. L. Thorpe and Mr. B. O. Bucklur, left the house of docenced, proped to the Central street of the city in an impressive manner. The revenue paid by all to the passing procession arrived in an avalanche of arriving midway between the cemetery and the starting point the procession was met by another batch of members under the leadership of Mr. M. Stowart, second vice-president. Nearer the cemetery news reached President Thorpe that the Rev Harold O. Dunn was awaiting the funeral at the cemetery. In avalanche of the crossroads that lead to this ravish gentleman's mission station, President Thorpe stepped forward and ordered the procession on to the cemetery, leaving the Reverend Dunn to commence to ring his bell of decoration he was then doing. At the grave of his father, the Rev Robert Giles and Brother Gayle was buried at U. N. I. A. member, the first of this division to be thus honored. Brother Gayle was one of those members who had implicit confidence in the inherent rights of the Negro race. As such he lived, as such he died, and as such he was buried. He leaves a life and a legacy in his family. He repared his尸. The division extends the closest condolence to the bereaved relatives. Just to come to the point at issue. Mr. Editor, I would like to draw the attention of our people in Tels to the definition of themselves through this medium. There is a certain class of Negros in this locality who were highly off-faded because they believe so much in the supremacy of the white man in everything under the opsmpy of heaven; that they infer that D. Erasing Thorpe had most grossly insulted this while person who had come all the way from England to preach to black rights out in Telta, only forgetting at the same time that there are hundreds of the Harnessed who have within close promptly and would not pay him that much compliments as their spiritual ability to face him just as "Cruz and Elm Crusted to Thee." The Royal Depa would not say, would not admit the U.N. L.A. shorter to his million piles, and D. Erasing has the same strength as the other people in the U.N. L.A. over his life and has always been a strongist of all the people who have in the same way to give a hopeless to the little man committing over anything trying the softer of the Man. What has Cromer, Had these berries known the the rest of the U.N. L.A. never had In closing, Mr. Editor, I would like to advise the "his Negroes" of Tolah who are making of themselves Tolah directly or indirectly in villaging the Hon. Nassau Gervory, my grandfather and my mother, because there shall be no difference between us when the time arrives for aggressions from our alien foes. A Negro is a Negro.

MASS MEETING HELD AT FLORIDA, CUBA REPORT OF U. N. I. A. MASS MEETING HELD AT FLORIDA, CUBA August 7. 1921. The seventh day of August is set apart as a red letter day in the annals of the Florida Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. The Cascades Division of the above mentioned society, seizing the coldness of the friends of Florida, resolved to help them by sending a message to the captain; they made good preparations to go, and on Sunday, August 7, the proceedings were as follows: At 7:30 p. m. the president of the Florida Division, Mr. Alfred Wite, took the chair and called the meeting to order. The chaplain of the Florida Division, in the usual constitutional way, brought the evening's engagement to the chair in the chair extended a right hearty welcome to all the officers and members of the Cascades Division. He said: "Friends of the Florida Division, to show your gratitude to the friends from Cepedoba, give three cheers for the male and lady president, three cheers for all the officers present, and three cheers for the president visit." This heavily responded to be all the Florida friends, which looked indeed grateful. The president of Florida made a short speech showing how grateful it looks to see the two divisions united, and he said, "I hope it may so transmit that the Florida Division may be more aware of this visit to Cepedoba." With short brief sentiments he closed his opening address, short, but very rich. The program from Caspides was now open and Mr. H. J. Williamson, president of the Caspides Division, was called to address the meeting. He started by addressing the chair and officers of the Florida Division. Then turning to the addiction said: ' Ladders and gentlemen of Florida, greeting. It gives me great pleasure to stand in your midst to say a word. For the up- to-the-next-week visit and universal movement. Looking around on the bright present makes me feel if we were on the way to Ladders. The kind of�ு but the most-well-known right. Cheers. One yell. Next night is being on a histrion, and I must say to you all an members of our General Rise Whereas active of by the way to tell you what you want and was the best of you now. The Time of the City, where I was to be the most. big guns to discharge." He brought a speech to a close with good apologies. The next on the program was a song from the chain of the Cepeside Division, "Come, Ye Children, Harken Unto Me," under the leadership of our worthy instructor, Mr. J. W. Baynes, first vice-president of the Cepeside Division. Mr. Alan Williamson was then on our great-leader, the Hon. Maron Garvey. This was just warm enough to open the house for warmer enthusiasm and patriotic addresses. Mr. J. W. Baynes, first vice-president of the Cepeside Division, was then called on to address the meeting. He, in his master style, addressed the chair in a very excellent style and to the audience he said: "Brothers and sisters of this our beloved race, I congratulate you on your service." We are gathered here tonight for a patriotic purpose—to strengthen each other in our great racial and universal movement." He pointed their attention on the word "watch" and from each letter of this given word, he made up his speech. Companions and Habits were taken from the two last letters of the given word, and from all these he built up a wonderful speech that could finally form a complete master must be convinced that what is left out of a 20-minute speech is great. He closed with loud cheers at each end of a sentence. In a very distinguished tone the lady secretary of the Cespesidus Division rendered a song, "Come, O Came With Me Whore Love Is Beaming." Mrs. Williamson, in her usual harmonious tone, chanted the beautiful song, cheering and satisfying all present. Mr. J. Millar, an e-teacher and member of the Cespesidus Division, was next called to say something for the upstart student in his chair, style he addressed the audience, and in a short and effective address he made the friends to understand what he knew of Garvoyism. He said if we be loyal and thus to ourselves and follow our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, by next summer we are bound to be in Africa. The lady secretary of Florida was next called to rend a song. She came on the stage and the beautiful song, "Boy of Ethiopia" was harmoniously delivered. The lady president of the Florida Division was called and she in her usual style to rend a song, built up lovingly speech showing to her young companions the rights of being a member of the U. N. L. A. the chair of the Caspedea Division rendered an anthem, "Seeking the Lost." At this point the chairman requested that the house stand and sing "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus," during which time the collection was donated. The organiser and treasurer of Caspedea, Mr. G. S. McKenna, came on the stage. He addressed the chair and officers most honorably. His speech was very interesting. He told the friends how we are laminghong into a new sphere of life: via a social, political, educational industry to rank among those that are up in the sphere of modernism we must contribute to the construction loans and the steamship corporation. In closing he said: "Sound the loud timbels o'er Afric's dark sea. Jehovah has trumphed, the Negroes are free." Now came an event that baffled all description. It was little Princess Leouce, the child of the lady presidents of Cespedes Division. This little one gave a recitation in the Spanish language, she being the only one on the program that rendered a piece in Spanish; she was highly dedicated to the secretary of the Florida Division was next called. He gave a fairly good address and urged the friends to remember the convention fund, as the convention was still on. With much more good sentiment he made a good speech. Mr. George S. Richards, a member of the Cespedes Division, was next called. He gave a real panegyric address and he told how we should look on this movement as honorable, for its basis is honest, and that other movements are not so. Because their leaders are personal aggrandisers of these different movements. He made a fairly good speech and closed with cheers at the and of each sentence. A dust was sung by Mr. C. C. Nuville and Mrs. Nuville. The chaplain of Copespe division, Mr. Charles Harrison, in his usual pastor-like form, delivered a real pat- trol address. In part of his speech he said: — Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me pleasure to stand and say a word for the betterment of our race. I think I hear the clamoring of pro- portunity in convention, planning and prosperity. I think I see the Hon. Marcus Garvey walking in the metropolis of New York, claiming the famous title of the greatest stat- man the world has ever seen. With these and much more noble sentiments he built up a noble speech which was cheered at the end of each sentence. Sister Thomas, a member of the Florida division, and one of the leaders of the Salvation Army, was, however, " the started brilliantly to outline the facts of Negro arcealism and religiously pointed out — according to the fulfillment of the Scriptures that Ethiopia shall stretch forth, has hands and the right has come when she must stretch her hands, and call the 40s, 90s, 90s, 90s of the world. As this point of speech she was interrupted by the extension of N. D. Doleough, who asked for credentials for permission to keep a public employment. In the town, according to the law of the Ordnation of the Church, she was at the time and not with a critical interest for another which, after a policy, data was handed to them with the assistance of the clergys of the mission and the information for the public at the time. policeman and lawyer have been all home and sage, Go God, Go God in the Appalachian, and we went on with our program: The general secretary of Cepedea was now called to address the meeting. He started by extending a right heartwelcome to the friends of the Florida division and went right into the details of Negro history. He expressed very strongly the fact that the great men of our race rank among the greatest in the annals of the world. He pointed out that the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Lions are the greatest and richest in the world. He showed how far ahead we are, and with a monthly savings of four and a half million dollars these associations are the greatest of all moral organizations in the world. Therefore invest your money in this great movement and you will in the near future be happy in your success. Over the top and Africa is set free we must say, "Send the gid tiding over the sea; the chains are broken, the slaves are free. This is the Negro jubilee." With thrilling applause he took his seat. A song was rendered by Miss Walters, "Softly and Low," which was very harmoniously sung. Again little Princess Louisa went on the stage and gave a recitation in English, which was very interesting. Dr. S. P. P. Badway was next on the stage, and in his usual magnetic style addressed the chair and officers of both divisions. He defined the area of Africa and the different portions of land held by the different powers of Europe, and the area of Liberia as the center of the battle. He said that the men that mean to go to Africa and do not make up their minds to die for freedom and right, had better die at once and get out of the way (cheers). He said, I am ready to take my racial oath to die for the liberation of Africa, so help me God. (Cheera). At the close of his speech he says: Lives of great men were taken from the sublime, and in paring leave behind us, footprints on the sandes of time. With long and prolonged cheers the orator took his seat. Our program was not finished, but owing to the train that had to convey the Cepespe friends home, was due at its usual hour, we brought the evening's engagement to a successful close. The Ethiopian anthem was sung and the benign praise to a close with a collection of $8.40 as a proof of self sacrifice. PERCIVAL C. JAMES, General-Secretary, Caspedes DALLAS DIVISION OF THE U. N. L. A. AND A. C. L The U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. at Dallas is gradually aliphing, the heights of success. This organization is one of the best ever known. Some of the people of this Negro race are struggling to tear up its fame, (we blind guides which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Matt. 23:24). This organization has made its reputation among the most of us, and you should be striving to make yours. We have put our hands to the plow of the U. N. L. A. and we intend to never look back. Where there is unity there is strength. Let us all be in unity. If we have decided to stand in unity, we will be in unity of the white marsh. All the doosip of the Negro belongs to the white man. We do believe that the Honorable Marcus Garvey and Rev. Wm. Christian are God sent men for the colored race. The closer we live to God the easier our tasks. For our God is a just God, Prince shall come out of Egypt, Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. Palma 69:11. We believe the most powerful nation on earth "Together we stand, divided we fall." We the members of this splendid association, it gives us the greatest of pleasure in saying a few words in behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. We must confess that this is the greatest institution of advancement ever organized for the colored race since the world began. It should be advocated by every colored man; and woman of the entire world. There is not a better investment to be found throughout the world. Understanding the oppression and abuse and unfair treatment the Negro has received through and by the hand of the white man, it shows that the Negro of the present is finally pulling together. On Sunday, June 12, the usual literary meeting of this division was held at Liberty Hall with the president Mr. C. A. Thomas, as chairmen. The president in his speech urged the members to support this profit cause, for it's a fair and just one, and that he Negro should talk to come forward for the sub�ishment of strong Other speakers were the chaplain Mr. J. Balander who explained to brief what the U.N.A is doing and and will see the news what was going to follow. In March 2013, the White House of Citizens, the speakers, were sent to availability for their contributions to the business of the White House. The White and the other members were Subject: "Life's Invisible Leadership" Hebrew: "Hebrew, l1157, lask chauro." He ensured as seeing Him, who is inviable. Every great man's life secret is worth knowing. Especially, is this true in the life of Moses. This fact is to be substantiated by every work of art. At a piece of marble had been the same and the same pool of water. Michel Angelo was carried studio and there behind closed doors changed it into the masterpiece of sculpture, "David." You ask me why he wrought so well, and I will say it was the secret hidden force operating in him. It was the invisible leadership. Angela, portraying the simple life of the French paranathy and their reference to an accident to colore, placed indiscriminately upon a cavera, but who was guided by the invisible cog. William Cowper, bunt upon destruction and dilled with discontent, was arrested in his career and sang in no uncertain strains: God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plants His footprints in the sea. And sides upon the storm. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan his work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Man was created a little lower than the angels. He is the unlocking cam- pare, all imagination comes from show. Therefore must have skills. Let us to a brief study of locals in the home, church and nation. Discussing ideals in the home, the speaker pleads for a return, in this day of overcrowding and mad rush for a livelihood, to the time-honored custom of the family altar, where'd word was read and mother 'was as well as father. He pleaded for the proper leaders by parents, because the child or children in the home usually held father or some member of the family as their ideal. He sent home this truth by an illustration drawn from his life. That being, how his son had chosen him as his ideal. He urged that parents give the proper ideals in order to maturity and say I have never had the privilege of hearing mother or father speak. In his place for the proper ideals, in the church, he said we must find the Christ of one being by studying to know ourselves. That we must fit up these temples of ours for the dwelling place or a king. That all of our help in establishing the Christ ideal must come from within, as each of us, bowing to the Christ mind a living realistic portion of an infinite whole, and therefore "Sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." That we were as inmittu as our faith in God was strong and able to claim for our heritage. He made it clear that the one ideal of the church was the Christ, and urged one to accept Him the fullness of His power by emptying and filling his life at the same time. Emptying it of self-sacrifice and self-seddit. Thus realizing our old Paul: "That it was the Christ that ifewn in me the honour of sters." In the life of the nation he showed that a nation, like an individual, could not rise until it knew its weaknesses well as its strength. He therefore made no apologies for what he was preparing to say, as he was cognizant of the truth that he was, called to preach rather than be sent or that he wont. For he declared the three choices of clergymen existed today, who were to be sent, and those who were to be made, play a strong standard of virtue, and urged the necessity of a clear method in America if we were to have physical fitness, in the homes of Absorption. He decried the heftful habit of samplings, virgin which was passed on to be further sampled, than left, deplored to be chosen or rejected, while the man in his lilies held, preached and for marriage the home of some woman, who was not deprived of the necessity described, the necessity treated in a male of woman married to a whole woman, a woman which was wise to bring disaffection and possess divider. We greeted for a little time in the halfway town, and saw many carriages. In showing the folly of make grease on evidencing the "Wilfrid Thal" artist, we had three by four, lying behind of wrote, who was asked by any super- natural witness, the Mishnah yemen. The wrote of Christ said the Mishnah yemen of the tabular and the tableau by which we long shall be familiar. military life. It is fundamental that he come on that we should know him and that more abundantly. Miss Johnson, however, showed white leadership and it seemed he gave her his island, and gave her bride to his wife in America. With this force in his life, with him adhering, complementing to the principles and leadership of the twoable leadership, he made war, but if his fortune fled and allowed permission to enter into his program, failure is already written. When the invariable leadership he appointed, endeavors, follows, in the end. Moses approached it, to the extent that he was willing to have his life blotted out that his people might live. John Baptist appreciated this invisible leading in the form of truth, and gave his life to the form. Mr. Stokes may have lived, but his meal for the operation, of the invasible leadership and him ahead at the first Christian martyr. Marcus Harvey appreciates this inviable leadership and essay to demonstrate the appreciation to the extent that he counts not his life, but his willingness to make the impressionservice if the principles of the U. W. J. Ackland. I appreciate it so well that I am no longer committed to the task of following blindly the teachings of any other than Christ, and as it is evidenced in the life of those who are inspired or following the invisible one. He urged his hearers to so appreciate this intrinsic force that when afflictions and persecutions come they could sing, with Arkley- He knows the evils that surround us. The turnings that would lead Aishay! No foes of might can ever confound us. For Jesus leads; he knows the way. Oh heart weighed, down in ramblas anguish. Oh guilty soul torn with dismay. Thy every foe his power will vanquish. Let Jesus lead; he knows the way. If this obtains then we will end up, and in enduring we shall see the frost that convinced David that God is ever mindful of his people, as well as assuring them he will not fill them when he is needed most. Therefore in conclusion we shall again sing with�ly in fuller notices. Hath the davar planeth me; All my trunk shall be in season. I shall live eternally. When my heart is almost broken, And the sunshine stalks away, Then His Grace in mercy gives Chauses darkness inside. When my soul I shall bring forth, Oh what to be, it will stumble, Just to see the davar remanded, And behold the Savior Lord. I shall not be moved. I shall not be moved! Anchored to the Book of Ages. I shall not be moved. THE U. N. L. A. IN ANTILLA. ORIENTE CUBA Mr. Edith. Kindly ask me small space in a corner of your book.

KETTA DOMINGO BARBADOS WINDAR CARIBBEAN WEST BARBADOS WEST SAN FRANCISCO BY MAY 10, 1960 promises an Amazing Story of the Terroristic Secret Society That Has Spread to Every State in the Union but Three—The Whole Truth from Inside Sources—Series Said to Be Result of Months of Investigation by The World and Novels Every Detail of Klan's Attack on Negroes, Jews, Catholics and Naturalized Citizens. The New York World began last Tuesday the daily publication of a series of articles about the Ku Klin Klan. It is the result of an inquiry that has been conducted by that newspaper for the past three months, enamored with all other sections of this country. The World declares that it has undertaken the publication because it believes it is to be a public service to let the people know the truth about the organization. It is said in the first article that the Klan has grown to a membership of more than 500,000; that it is established in every State in the Union but Montana, Utah and New Hampshire, and that it is growing more than twice as rapidly in the North, and West than it is in the South. It is said also that in seeking members the government of the countryside must get the numbers of the countryside member of the police department, and that they then turn in reserve officers of the gray and navy. can now prepared to say just a word as to my conception of paid review. The masterly and scholarly way and manner in which you write is a foregone conclusion that you are a prepared writer and the fairness with which you write removes all possible criticism. While you did not say what I would have said, that is no evidence that you did not say right. Of course, you had nothing to be governed or guided by save the book and its subject matter, and therefore proved true to the matter to be found theorin. But the book, "My Fight with the Liona," the third book written and does not contain the facts of the case, and was completed long before the outcome of all the facts contained about the great battle. Therefore, you not having a copy of said other books, and especially the Trial Matter of Judge McCullens Court where Charles Blackwell was proven to be guilty of far more crimes than are mentioned in the book. I have on hand yet a few copies of the pamphlet which gives the cause for and troubles mentioned in the book. I will, therefore, send you under separate cover one of my first pamphlet books, and as soon as I can secure a copy of the second I will send you the same. In answer to the condemness of the book I feel about that as a result of the printing of this Philadelphia to print those books, and as you know we are always on the public at a discount and it is not only true that the printing is too congested, but the publisher, having received his pay before the books were finished, is 118 books short and refuses to make good. By this you can see why your criticism is very acceptable. The charge is daily made, that the customers are interested, chiefly in the 88 they set for each new member, and so much of the work is done by mail that in one instance related by the World's Negro was made an amply for membership in New York city. The interesting point is also made that whereas the original Ku Klux Klan made "white supremacy" its jaws and was a financially anti-Nero organization, the present Klan is as actively anti-New and anti-Human organization. This is a very important aspect of the World's story. However, Prof. Furla, my article on Garvazism and your review are the talk of the people in town. I thank you for the interest you are creating by your scholarly and masterly manner of editing The World. Surely, whoever selected you know how to set the right man for the right place. Your review shows that you are a splendid grammarian, a excellent scholar, a master and almost a past master in logical definitions. This I wish to offer through the columns of your paper as my reply to your review. One very important chapter in the World's story has to do with the men who are as work as organizers. Their names are given, then, with the addresses, of their headquarters. It is the work of these men who files correspondence with us where they were at work. With best wishes for the welfare of all concerned in safe movement, I remain. Respectively.

Crossland, of St. Joseph, Mo., Who Lost His Only Son in Late War, Appointed Special Expert in U. S. Veterans' Bureau — Will Looks After Interests of Colored Soldiers and Sailors By WM. H. DAVIS Washington Newspaper Correspondent (Special to Negro World) WASHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 28, 1921. A recent enactment by the U.S. Congress has abolished the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and, in its stead, has created the U.S. Veterans' Bureau, which consolidates under one head all the powers hitherto vested in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Federal Board of Vocational Training and U.S. Public Health Service. The creation of the U.S. Veterans' Bureau is the result of a bill (H. R. 6611) introduced by Hol. Burton, the sweet of Waverly, Iowa. Hol. Charles R. Forbes, of Seattle, Washington, was recently appointed and aware of an Director of said U.S. Veterans' Bureau. One of his first critical acts, evidenza, like Deep Interfering in colored exพรรคเงิน, was to appoint Dr. J. R. A. Croskland as loyal and active Negro Republican of St. Joseph, Allcourt, as a "Regional Expert" in 1914.

IS THE NEGRO A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY? Is the Negro a citizen of this country, as are other men? In time of war he is called on to fight, but discriminated against even there at a time when the world's democracy was at stake. If he isn't recognized as a full-fledged citizen in time of war, in time of peace he isn't recognized at all. That is clear, and the fool has no need to need. Does the citizen's part in time of peace as well as the enemy have his proof himself equal to every task to be assigned. He has proved himself a hero on every battlefield in time of war as well as in time of peace to make this country safe for democracy. In the World's War it was the 2,000,000 colored soldiers that sent the kaisers back across the Rhine and caused him to sign the armistice, saving France, England and America forever from the war.

Nobody cares for a beggar in fact, it is an disgrace to beg for things of great value, as citizenship, with all rights guaranteed. Begging is oil to the axle of the wheel of destruction to any race or nation. The early settlers of this country had a hard time under the cruel hand of Great Britain as long as they begged for their rights. They were taxed without reason to help pay England's war debts without being allowed a representative to any how much tax they should pay. The early settlers of this country had good the treatment with it was unbeatable. But after I pressed was good for them: it taught them, as the cruel hand of the lawless white man is teaching the Negroes throughout the world, the value of organization. Patrick Henry, the prophet of the revolutionary war, said "Liberty or death." It was a hard fight, but their cause, as aora was just right. God was on their side, and they won the victory (their independence). The U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. is the medium through which the people of freedom and rights. If this is the white man's country, he ought to have it to himself and have only white people to rule. Africa is ours and there we must rule supreme.

To malnourish a dog makes him yellow, easy, and to malnourish a human helmet is more so, as well as dangerous to the malnurer. The law, worthlessly executed, becomes a worthless law. It is a wise saying, "Nothing is settled until it is settled right." Although the whites started the Tusks clash by trying to lynch an innocent. Now the colored people are now being indicted by the white and the whites by the black. The better class of white people know this isn't fair, but the lawless, who are in a major, do not care; they have no regard for the right, but seek only vengeance. By this unfairness and maltreatment we as a race shall profit. They drive us to unity and reach us the values thereof.
