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

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. The Irish say there must be a free and independent Ireland, the
FIED, IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES MARK CLOSING OF HISTORIC WORLD-RENOWNED SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES
BERRY HALL, New York, Wednesday Evening, Aug. 31, 1921, their orientation, yet with becoming dignity and impressive cereal, religious and temporal, the Second Annual International Commission of Negroes of the World came to a close tonight with the sound of gavel and the pronouncement of His Highness the Potentate, Ion.

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 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:
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)
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

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.

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.)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
There is an ephemeral and artificial quantity in the Negro movement, and we must not even seem to exaggerate their importance. They have no opin-

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

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.

"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. All remittances must be made out to the association and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A.
publicity. 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. Send in your five dollars or more now

The fight which will soon be waged in Congress for the restoration of Havianan rights is receiving no help from the millions of Negroes who are presumably interested in the international movement for the practical advancement of people of Negro blood. It is high time that it should. 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.
Believe it or not as we will, the Negro American is on now trial before the eyes of the world and if he fails to act he may yet hat the God of opportunity utter those fatal words recorded in the third chapter of Haveliest concerning the angel of the church of the Ladiesin. For we may be sure that Jesus is a Inb of the same truth from which domination on, which our home-made branch grows. H. H.

WONDER OF PHILADELPHIA
PHA I. 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.

AFFECTION
By Charles H. D. Este
When I try to sleep a sleep,
Thoughts of you my vigil keep;
When I dream, I near the thrill
Of your lye wreel and still.
When from you I have to part,
Dulness whalms my tender heart;
Impulse, passion and desire
Mait before your sore fire.
And your wistful smile I see
As you gaze in pride of me;
What a blessing to adore
Virtue's dame for evermore!
By Charles M. D. Eats
Kine does not linger by the gate.
Eat travels at a rapid rate—
He always is in demand;
Nor will he be missed.
Eat bread in mind. He doesn't disdain
To lend a helping hand.
BATI8FIED
By Charles M. D. 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.

The real Prince Denilay says: "There is no prince of the royal house of Documents r of any king of Tages answering to the name of Madarikan Denilay.
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.

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. Yours fraternally.

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.

The world knows that the Hon. Marcus Garvey in a straightforward gentleman, but this cannot be said of Rev. Jack, for I personally know that he took money from people who were coming to Cuba (as passage money); and when these unfortunately beings arrived here, thinking that they could go to any part of the island in search of employment, they were quietly told they were to be sent to the Chapana sugar farm. 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. You speak of Rev. W. A. Charles, but you are much worse than he is. You are of the John Hawkins class, so if these upstarts of facts disturb the tranquility of your upper house, you may come and see me at Delicia. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for space, I am, you truly. A. M. G. PROCOPE, Cristina, Cuba, Aug. 11, 1921.
BIG-CONCERT STAGED IN
CAMAGUEY LIBERTY HALL
A grand concert was rendered in Camayam Liberty-Hall for the purpose of raising money to assist the working of the second great convention now going on in New York City. The celebration began at eight o'clock sharp by the singing of the opening code. The acting president, Mr. Timis Miyara, then arose from his chair amidst suspicious applause and delivered a most thrilling address, and then outlined to the audience the purpose of the celebration, in which he returned:
"We are assembled here for the purpose of celebrating a concert in aid of the convention which is now under way in New York City, fighting to build up the race, and we, as trusted people, must at this time realize the cause and aims of our able leader, Marcus Garvey, and the fifty years since his birth in Liberty, Hall of New York City legislating, and forming laws to govern us in time to come. EP as to prove our Interests in the development of our place we decided to do something to promote the great work."
his initiation referred to the prescience which took place before the opening of the convention in New York City a few days ago, and the different sections of parade which carried banners bearing inscriptions of reasonable demands, and said: "Tighten the inscription written on our banner although not visible, is the Camagaye Division must continue to press onward. We must do so, share until our fatherhood is redeemed. I shall now ask you to prove yourselves as New Negroes throughout the proceeding. I shall now take this pleasure in introducing to you the chairman for the evening in the person of Mr. H. Angus, the executive secretary of this division. I am sure this gentleman will give you full satisfaction."
communicate time gives an address of welcome, reading as follows:
Offices, Officers, Members and Friends, the honor to welcome in our midst this occasion and to extend to you our frequent greeting in behalf of the University Negro Improvement Association and African Community League. I also have to congratulate you for the man in which you turned out to make this concert a success for the first time since the advent of this division. We really did not prepare to give a concert at this time, but claiming ourselves as New Negroes, knowing that we must be prepared to do anything at any time without failure, we decided to present this concert on the trail. We know that to give satisfaction we are absolutely made. Therefore I ask you to give us your keen attention during the proceedings. This concert is a sign that we have seen the greatness of our endeavor and the object of his exudation, and trust that we long to be able to liberty and freedom among the human race. Thanking you for your kind attention, we will now proceed to begin our program.

All her demands were so heartily met that things almost went rampant during the proceeding. Minum Eva Hittner took on the stage to state her particular abilities which she did not fall to do with her chipping steps and profundness of an accomplished actress which would lead one to believe that she was born in the land of jazz.
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.
The chairman then congratulated and thanked the audience for their keen interest and genteel behavior throughout the evening, and again asked their compliment on August 21, amount received to be tripled.

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.

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. Vazel, entitled "Dare to be a Garvey."

As you perhaps already know, in organized to build, own and operate factories in the West Indian Central and South America, the NEGRO FACTORIES CORPORATION is in the interest of NEGRO for Negroes. Now, each a program must appeal to every Negra. Why should she lift? But they show what we can do when we all put our shoulders to the wheel.

When these factories are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given. Any number of workers, and remember, they will not be required to work.

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.

Editor Negro World:
Dear Sir, Kindly allow me space in
your indispensable journal of the
Negro race to make known some of
the most damnable actions of some of
the most notorious black men. 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.
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.

"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.
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.
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.
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.

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-
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.
