The Negro World

The Indianapolis Weekly The Voice of the African World Reaching the Mass of Negroes Everywhere Negro World ONE AIM: ONE DESTINY A Newspaper Directed Solidly to the Interest of the Negro Nation VOL. XI 11 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1821 PRICE: NEW CENTRE IN NEW YORK SERVING CENTRO ELECTRICAL UNITES IN TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is well that we indulge in a little plain talk at times, so that we can better understand ourselves. As a race, we have been trying to bring about better conditions such as would enhance our standing among the other races and nations of the world. We have had an unfortunate past, wherein we were held as chattel slaves for over two hundred and fifty years, and have been ravished and exploited for nearly five hundred years. Out of all that has happened, we have evolved to be a race of free men, having an outlook similar to that of other races. We desire industrial and commercial prosperity, educational and social progress and political liberty. These are the attendants that make races and nations powerful and enable them to command the respect of the world. In our outlook we are striving toward the accomplishment of all these things, but we have been very much handicapped by the lack of method and system among ourselves through which we should operate for the grander achievements of the objects desired. As a race we have encouraged and fostered a destructive policy in striving toward the attainment of the higher qualities of life. When the other races started out to develop themselves for the achievement of the best in human effort they did not divide their loyalty, their ties and their devotion but they decided on one good plan by which success would be earlier realized. All within the race, or within the nation, stuck to the basic principles involved, and all worked for the common good, for the betterment of the race or the nation. Today, as a people, we demonstrate the desire to do and to achieve as others have done, nationally, industrially, educationally, socially and politically; but are we not making a mistake on the policy involved? Hero we are, a race of four hundred million people, with nearly as many leaders as there are people, each leader having a program of his own, each leader purposefully and wickedly fighting the other so that the other might not succeed in his given plan or his policy, and thus a universal fight takes place, the race divided against itself, each and every one fighting in his or her own direction, and yet we expect to achieve success. How can it be? It has never been in the past, it will never be now, and shall never be in the future. Races and nations succeed in making themselves great and powerful only by unity of effort, unity of action, on the past of those concerned, and if the Negro race is to rise to the higher heights of human possibilities, then we must sink our individual and personal desires, and link up ourselves with those things, and those only that tend to the good and welfare of all. We are circumvented today by environments more dangerous than those which have circumvented other peoples in any other age. We are face to face with environments in a civilization that is highly developed, a civilization that is competing with itself for its own destruction; a civilization that cannot last, because it has no spiritual foundation; a civilization that is vicious, crafty, dishonest, immoral, irreligious, and corrupt. Man thinks it a wonder that he should be living in so much ease, comfort, and pleasure brought about by his own genius, his own discoveries; yet man on the other hand suffers from these very things that make man happy. Hence the division in human society. We have a small percentage of the world's populace feeling happy and contented with the civilization that man has evolved, and we have the masses of the human race on the other hand dispatriated and discontented with the civilization of today, with the arrangement of human society. These masses are determined to destroy the systems that hold up such a society, and prop such a civilization. And as by indication, the fall will come, a fall most disastrous, a fall that will use the universal wreck of the civilization that we now see, and in this civilization the Negro is called to play his part. He is called upon to evolve a national ideal based upon freedom, human liberty, and true democracy. Can he rise above the environments and make himself the man that God and nature expects him to be? This is where the rub comes in. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are appealing to the Negro to realise that he cannot afford to be loose in his outlook, because he is laboring under a disadvantage which is quite singular in comparison to other races that have slewn in the past. If the Negro is not careful he will drink in all the poison of modern civilization, and die from the effects thereof. Our purpose is to save the race from such a death, but apparently up to now we have settled on no policy by which we should so save ourselves. A Race of Men Should Have Strong Moral and Social Background—Negro Mother Pura in Their Morala Should Refuse to Perpetuate the Abuses of Slavery by Living with White Men On a policy aiming at the common good, whereby four hundred million of people will benefit by our actions. Today as things are we have divisions in our ranks as a race that will make it impossible for any people or any nation by size. Some of the divisions in our ranks are caused by our own party (calendars and dates of each other, and still other divisions have been caused through organized propaganda as waged against us by those who are opposed to us through members of our own race who have been used as agents to create the divisions and bring about disorder. It has been discovered and it is well known that we have in our ranks as a race men who are paid by the chances of our progress to do everything possible to prevent unity of action on the part of our race. As for example here we have started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the purpose of which is to deter into one solid body the four hundred million of the world for the purpose of establishing the conditions of Africa an empire of our own, and for the emancipation of Negroes everywhere industrially, commercially, educationally, socially and politically on their own lines. This program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will eventually mean the complete emancipation of the Negro everywhere, the standardizing of the Negro as a man, placing film in a position not of second place, but to stand the equal of any other man in the world. Enemies of Negro progress know that this is the only program that will solve the great problem of races, but they do not want to admit the Negro as a man, they do not want to see the Negro enjoying equal opportunities and privileges with themselves, hence they would subsidize a counter propaganda that would in a way say, "We are striving for the same thing the Universal Negro Improvement Association is striving for, we want the freedom of Africa, we want to emancipate the Negro everywhere," so that a division may be caused in the ranks of the Negroes and the solid support that should be given to the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the higher achievement of its object would be capped. A fight ensues between the rival organizations or the opposing factions, and the ultimate destruction is brought about which will satisfy those who desire to crush the Negro, and their object would have been achieved through the subsidy given to the one to oppose the other. This has been the method used to defeat Negro organizations and Negro success for over fifty years, and I am warning the Negro peoples of the world against the great danger today. New organizations are springing up that are receiving enlistments from our hereditary enemies, and those organizations are being advised to wage even a more radical propaganda than the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to appeal to the equipment and support of our people, and if each support is given it will be diverted into the old-time channel of deception and subterfury. The question comes, therefore, who should lead it? I say the men who should lead you are men that you have tried, then you have put to the test, men you have well analyzed. You must know your man before you follow him; you must know his association; you must even know his birth. You must follow him from cradle to grave; you must know what his life is a true Negro, or a enslaved individual being used, for the purpose of dividing our higher interest. The question of leadership among Negroes must be settled once and for all because we are, not a race of ambilies; we are not a race of prigness; we are a race of men, and we desire to stand on the highest platform of social education of industry and politics. When we come to the social life we should be ad proud as any other race in the world. We should therefore, greed only for the evidence of sound social backgrounds, so that in the final analysis, in the final criticism, we will not have to build in our faces that we are a race of "to and so" meaning that we are socially of no account. To further explain what I do mean, I will say if we were to be asked to send representations to the council of doctors, there the social purity of the nation was to be decreased you would not send a man to represent you who could not sell who his father was and who was admired of giving his father a name. Because if that individual is your leader it would leave the other members of the conference to indulge that you would not understand. Surely I am enlightened, cultivated and that this article underground. a slave and her white master was empowered to take advantage of her. He should her, and compete her to do and act improperly. That poor black woman was forced against her will to bear an illigitimate child for a white father, but have time like this surely we would not excuse our mothers for conduct no matter in the days of slavery. So I repeat that the time has come for us to build a social standard to encourage a higher social life, and if we are to do so properly our leaders must be men sufficiently able to present our cause to the world, and to the social life, so educationally, if so, we were called to a conforming of educated to discuss the problem of education, and would not send an illiterate man, but we would send the best scholar two passing as a race, because the truth is far more educators, if we had a representative who is illiterate, to require that course of the conference would come to the conclusion that our lack had an illiterate back- ground, and so, if it were an industrial conference of industrial committee, we would not send to such a conference man who would have engaged in business, men who have never started any industrial enterprise, because if we were to send a laborer be a man who had no business training or knowledge, the work of the conference would come to the conclusion that we have no industrial background. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IS A WORLD POWER-HAS PASSED EXPERIMENTAL STAGE Negro Race Should Avoid Entangling Alliances and Keep Its Own Objective Constantly in View Subsidized Negro "Leaders" Spread Insidious Propaganda Throughout Country to Hinder and Discourage New Movement, But to No Avail PORTUGUESE AFRICANS REFUSE TO HEAR PAN-AFRICAN DELEGATES Dr. Grandison Talks on Negro Leadership — Sir William Delivero a Stirring Address LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, October 23, 1921.—To-night Liberty Hall was filled to overflowing by an audience that, because of the evident general intelligence of the people, and their eagerness to hear every word said, would have inspired any speaker to do his best in addressing them. And those who were not present missed an unusual historical treat and musical feast. respected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by themselves. the Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else Hon. Marcus Garvey, the President-General, delivered the principal speech, taking as his subject, "Entangling Alliances and Affiliations," in which he displayed no loss of power in swaying his hearers of vote. Dr. Wm. H. Ferris, assistant president-general and editor of the Negro World, delivered one of his sky-rocker historical, encyclopedic addresses, and was immediately followed by the Rev. Dr. G. H. Grandison, a new speaker in Liberty Hall, Dr. Grandison, a powerfully built man, whose identity as a Negro cannot be mistaken, is a man of many years' experience not only as a minister, but as plantation owner. He spoke on "Negro Leaning" and showed a mastery of the language equaled by few man. He was forcible, persuasive, and very eloquent. His persecution, in praise of the Hon. Marus Garvey as the interpid leader of the Race, was a masterpiece, and when his concluded, there was not only long and loud applause, but everyone commented and whipped to the one sitting next him on her upon the brilliant address. W. Vance Lewis, Exe. of Texas, also spoke, he too, having been heard here for the first time, and made good impression. He said the second-greatest name, instead of being Marus Garvey, should be Moeus Garvey, because of the great qualities he possesses as a leader. Beauret Harring The president general, to the course of his address, extract from a newspaper, in Islamabad, Portugal, in which appointee was given of a meeting held in Portuguese Africa to hear the report of the delegates sent to the Portuguese government. The report, stated that the native Africans there refused to hear the delegates, declaring that they did not represent them, and that the meeting broke up with loud cries of "Long live Marcos Africa and the active National Party!" With praise the speaker pointed out, showed the influence of the U. N. L. A. upon the black people of the world, emphasized and the principles are now being accepted and adopted universally by Harron, proving that Negrense no longer want or will accept leaders or representatives appointed to the office, but rather and will respect only with leaders and representatives as are selected and appointed by them selves. ing the manner of carrying it into practical execution. Many people, he commented, have dreams and good ideas but do not know how to put them into practical application. After referring to Benjamin Bannaker, Frederick Douglass, Coleridge Taylor, Phillips Wheatley and other men and women of the race he is great praise of the leader of the U. N. I. A. aid. Conder stands another great man, head and shoulders above them all—so big, so large, that all the world sees him. He was not called by McKinley or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Tart or by any of that coterie of white men who have been inspired to name Negro leaders; but the eyes of 400,000 Negroes are turned toward him and 888,000,000 Negroes in Africa are reaching out their help of God—saying, "Go on and help of God." He came from a great and thrilling climax and created a profound impression on the audience. Flava Du Bola fir William H. Ferris in his address to Dr. Du Bois' rise to prominence twelve years ago through certain noted white men having decided upon and selected him as fit to be a Negro leader, and when the announcement was made a great hurrah went up over the land, the people expecting great things from the leader appointed not by but for them, and the people disappointed and they have come to recognize a leader of their own choice, a man who two years ago disliked the news around the world that the Negro by his own genius could do what other people and races have done, and that the same spirit that trapped William the Conqueror, Hannibal the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Christopher Columbus and other great men of the time, whom they famous actuated Marcus Garvey in establishing the H. N. L. A. and the Black Star Lina. Hav. Dr. G. E. Stewart, the High Chancellor, read the Scripture lesson from the 27th Palm. Prayer was conducted by the President-General. The musical program consisted of several numbers, among them being "The Waltz," selected by the choir solo solo by Miss Marie Urquhart; soprano solo by Mme. M. E. Montenot; tenor solo by Mr. Edward Stello; and soprano solo by Mme. Fraser Robinn. One of the speakers conferred a high compliment upon the singers which was deserving, as the music was of unusual quality, particularly by Mr. Stello and solo by Miss Marie Urquhart, a rising young soprano. MR. DARVEY'S ADDRESS MH. GARVEY'S ADVENTURE Ladies and Gentlemen: an subject tightly is "Extending Associations and Affiliations" as a guide, I desire to read about news that comes to us from Africa, through Portugal as published in one of the daily papers of Lisbon. The paper itself is published in Portuguese. The article has been translated, and I will read to you the translation. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 rejected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by them-selves. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else in its four years' existence but to get Negroes to realize that leadership must come from among them and must be elected by them. it will have performed a great service to the race. These Africans have demonstrated a high degree of intelligence in selecting a leadership that we with all our civilization and enlightenment, do not possess; because they were able to discriminate between those whom they elected and whom they placed, and those placed by others. Association Strong Everywhere Association driving everyone What has happened in Portuguese Africa is about to happen in other parts of Africa, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is sparing no pain, neither money, to carry its propaganda throughout the world. Some people seem to believe that we are going strong in the United States of America only: but I say we are strong everywhere. (Applause.) Some people think that we have to leave America to declare Africa free. Africa is getting ready now to declare for her own freedom, because what the Portuguese-African Negroes have done the Belgian Negroes have done in the Belgian Congo (Applause), and only a couple of weeks ago you read in the papers what the South Africans are doing—the South African Negroes. We have so scattered the propaganda of this organization that the race everywhere has caught the new spirit of freedom: has caught the new spirit of liberty. Many Embarrassments and Difficulties But in struggling toward the freedom we desire, the liberty we desire, we have to overcome many embarrassments, many difficulties, which are placed in our way not so much directly by those who are opposed to us, as by those who are from among us. We are surrounded with peculiar environments. We are struggling up under great disadvantages. We are living in a civilization that is highly developed; we are living in a world that is scientifically arranged, in which everything done by those who control the world is done through system, proper arrangement, proper organization; and among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called "propaganda." Propaganda Used to Keep Negroes Divided Propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized people to convert others against their will; and we are suffering, more than any other race in the world, from propaganda—propaganda to destroy our hopes, to destroy our ambition, to destroy our confidence in life. The propaganda is used, I say, not directly by those who are opposed to us, but is used by those who are with us, as agents of those who are directly opposed to us. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is surrounded with propaganda that we must well understand if we must ultimately succeed. To destroy the use of propaganda, we must prevent the success of this organization to stray the hope of this race of our freedom, for true liberty, propaganda has been organized to the effect that you will be so diverted, you will be so divided as to bring about confusion among yourselves, and in the confusion will come the success of the plan laid out by those who are organizing to keep us where we are until we are completely destroyed. AGENTS PLEASE READ AGENTS PLEASE READ Please send your orders for papers to reach the office of the Negro World on or before Friday, one week before the date of issue (Saturday). Send money along with your orders, otherwise they will not be sent. State whether money is sent for subscription or for "special order." Write your name plainly. Give street and number. Post Office box or Route. If you want to increase your supply of papers be What do I mean by this? I mean that: the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out at this time on a platform of equity, of justice, of liberty, of freedom for the Negro. Everybody knows it to be a just cause. No one knows it better than those who robed and exploited and murdered us for over three hundred years. They know it is the program sought by all people, and that it is the program that should be supported by all people who know themselves to be the creatures of God. But their purpose is not to let us suffer and harm by ourselves, because they have always held us as slaves to guit their convanance, provided we let them do that. So as to keep us slaves, so as to be able to use us as they desire, until they feel that they can do complectly without us, they have instigated, they have started, they have subsidized counter-propaganda, counter-movements, some of them having his same appearance as your own Universal Negro Improvement Association, movements that actually try to do the same thing you are trying to do to movements coming out with the same program you have. You can divide and ultimately to destroy you. They know that without unity there can be no success. They know well that with division among you, you will fight among yourself and therefore there will never come a conflict with them—that is between us and them. Negroes Subtitled to Oppose Negroes The propaganda that is subtitled to carry on this work or opposition is being done through our own people. The Pan-African Congress, held in France the other day, and in Belgium and in England, has been a major effort. White men to subvert the higher intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And not only the Pan-African Congress, but other movements, too, have been organised and are being subsidized to defeat Negro opinions. Some belong to the Pan-African Congress, some belong to African Blood Brotherhood, some belong to other movements, and by the division among all of us we will be in such confusion that nothing will be attained. Nagro Support of Nagro Leadership Imperative I went you to realize this—that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, there should be b : one policy for you, and that policy should be Negro leadership, and Negro support of Negro leadership. (Applause.) Where other things are concerned, as religion, social life, or industrial life, we can afford to admit into association other races; but where your liberty is concerned, where your freedom is concerned, no one should be allowed but yourselves. (Applause.) Because to me liberty must be won from some one if you haven't got it. If you haven't liberty, and you are struggling for it, you will have to get it from some one; you are in deriving you of your association. (Applause.) How then can you afford to accept into your association, into your companionship, into your executive councils, men who have kept you from getting your liberty, and those who are opposed to the progress you are making for your liberty? It is illogical. If Africa is to be freed from Europe she has got to be made free upon her own initiative, free from any alliance or aid from Europeans Africans cannot expect Europe to help free Africa when Europe is the country that keeps Africa in subjection. It is illogical. Entangling Alliances Not to Be Encouraged Here we have Negro institutions, Negro organizations in this country, and in different parts of the world, subsided by white men; some of them by white men as their executive officers; some of them are engineered in such a skillful way as not to have white men show themselves, but white men's money supports the propaganda, and at a certain time those who support the propaganda with their finance will be able to dictate the policy of the organization. I want you to realize, therefore, that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, you cannot afford to encourage entangling alliances and entangling associations and affiliations, because if liberty is to be won from a certain government, you cannot afford to let that government be your executive and win your liberty. It is illogical, I repeat. So that I want you to analyze well associations and organizations that are endeavoring by their programs to fight for the liberty of Africa. They are meant only to do otive. It is only an intention to create division in your ranks, knowing well that nothing can be achieved through division. U. N. I. A. New a World Power I think the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed the experimental stage. It has passed the control of any one man, or the control of any two or three men, or coterie of men. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a world power, and has grown from its childhood as an organization to its full bloom. I am not saying that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only Negro movement we should have, but I say it should be the only Negro movement as far as liberty is concerned, for the simple reason that we cannot afford to be divided where the fight for liberty is concerned. If there is division of any army on the battlefield, it means defeat. that the victory it has on its side is lost in the battleships of life united; therefore, if our objective is a free Africa for the liberation of Negroes, we should have but one organization, because when the command is given it should come from but one general. If you have ten generals giving counter-commands, you are bound to be defeated. Therefore, I want you to realize that we are living in dangerous times. We are living in times when you cannot afford to say, "Let us do that, let us do this," as far as this organization is concerned, we must have a certain policy; we must have either one or the other. The one that means liberty must be done wholly by yourselves, because no one race, no other race, is going to give you liberty, especially when that race oppresses you and is succeeding at your expense, as has ooen the case during the last three hundred years. Do Not Allow Yourselves to Be Defeated Some of us because of our selfish desires, because of our selfish ends allow ourselves to be used for the carrying out of the purposes of others in defeating the higher aims and objects of this organization. It is the desire to keep Africa divided; it is the desire to keep Africa exploited; it is the desire to keep Negro slaves; themselves and they will employ some of us and give us large sums of money; they will spend thousands of dollars to support and wage a campaign to deceive what we can get for ourselves personally we allow ourselves to be used as the tools; but the God who in the Creator of mankind, God who is never asleep, I feel sure is watching his achievement through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have used all kinds of means to defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association; they have used propaganda to discredit us; they have called us all kinds of names; they called us thieves; they call usignant people; they say we do not know how to do business; they try to embarrass in business, explain we do not know anything about business; and they are attempting to other ways of doing business. organization, but thank God, we have a new Negro here—a new Negro who realizes that liberty does not mean dollars and cents. Liberty means in certain cases that our minds to give our last dawn that africa may be free. Those of you who have been connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association for two or three years will recall the continued propaganda of criticism against the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the continued program of criticism against the Black Star Lina. You have seen the Negro newspapers lying against the Black Star Line and against the Negro Factories Corporation. It was to carry out a certain intention. They who are opposed to us know the psychology of the people; they know the psychology of our race. If you can create suspicion among them you have them defeated. Thank God four million of us have been able to rise above suspicion—four million of us realize in the fight to Africa and to emancipate ourselves, and when the deception continues we are not displeased. That all race have traveled in a like manner to success. They have had their traitors and we will have ours too. Therefore, do not be discouraged by the acts of the traitors. do not be discouraged by what others may do or say; counter propaganda against us; but continue the good work for the good that will accrue to us as a people today and tomorrow. Again I must thank you who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the loyalty you have displayed, for the devotion you have given to this grand an noble cause. I may continue the work because the victory is drawing high. Just imagine, four years ago the Belgian Congo was under tutelage, four years ago Portuguese Africa as under tutelage, four years ago South Africa was under tutelage, four years ago India had no voice. Today the Negro of the Congo, the Negro of the Portuguese colonies, the Negro of South Africa is speaking out in the language of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and declaring for an African National Party (Applause). We have achieved greatness in four years, and if I die tonight or if I die tomorrow or ten years from now or fifty years from now, I will go to my grave feeling satisfied that I did my duty to my race and my God. (Applause). In struggling toward this higher end of a Free Africa some of us must make up our minds even for death; and as for me I must make up any time for the freedom of our God me that I must compromise; tell me that I must back down, tell me that I must apologize. I say let me die. Almighty God at the hour, because there is no apology in liberty; there is no compromise in liberty. There is a straight fight for liberty and some of us must die before liberty parches on the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause). SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS. Sir William H. Ferris, Assistant President General and literary editor of the Negro World, was the first speaker of the evening, and among other things said Twelve years ago the news swept over the country that Dr Du Bois had been inspected by Moorfield Storey, then a lawyer and philanthropist, and by Oswald Garrison Vilson, editor of the Nation, and pronounced to be be fit for leadership, and the people thought it was the best black man to be an apt pupil of white in books, manners, morals and dress, and they throw up their hands and said hurrah. But two years ago the news was flashed over the world that black men could not only be apt pupils of white men—not only could they imitate white men, but could construct and create on their own hook, and that is the reason why the Negroes of the world were thrilled when the Yarmouth set sail. It was not a large boat and it was not a new boat, but it was the spirit behind the launching of the Black Star Line that thrilled the Negro world and surprised the white world. The same spirit that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the Channel and wrested the kingship from King Harold—the same spirit which Hannibal and Napoleon showed when they crossed the Alps; the same spirit which other Columbus showed when he launched the ship. And it discovered a new continent in the Hon. Marous Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line when they launched the Yarmouth. And it was because the world was made conscious of the fact that a new spirit of initiative, daring courage and energy had taken possession of the Negro that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is respected. U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stamina U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stimula The Negro Negro Improvement Association has shown a moral stamina and ability to face obstacles; to stand hammering as no other Negro "improvement has stood, and it is because of the moral stamina that has been exhibited by the members of the U. N. L. A. that the world believes that it is an organization" is here to hear. We have had a great many men to connect themselves with our ranks. Some of them have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Man of Chardetor Needed What Marcos Garvey needs is men of character. In the Scriptures they speak about a man who built his house on the shifting sands and the other man who built his house on a rock. Well, a man who has no character is like the shifting sands, and the man who has character is like a rock—the rock upon which New York city and Harlem have been built. Because when a man has character and honesty you can depend upon him and you can rely upon him. The reason why the Universal, Negro Improvement Association is dying deep in the one" of human kindness is because A has clearly lived as no other movement has, that is, "race that does damage" entirely upon another race to lift it up and carry it on its shoulders will sever war for no matter how much love, there is in prayer: no matter how much pay, no matter how many carry the time, no matter how many other gets the strength to stand on my feet and walk he will be left for the "hurch"; and that applies to the Negro, and it is because of the constructive program of the Liberian Construction Loan, and the Black Star Line and the Negro Factory Corporation which will put a foundation and bedrock in the Negro that the U. N. I. A. is something more than a wind-lamming organization, because it is built upon the scillit rock. (Ampiause.) DR. O. 12. GRANDISON SPEAKS Rev. Dr. G. M. Grandison was then introduced and spoke as follows. Your Excellence the President General and provisional President of the High Executive Council, officers and members of the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—This is the proustest moment of my life. This is the first time in a long career when I have had the privilege of addressing such a large, intelligent and representative body of colored men and women. I have spoken to a larger body of men and women than this, but they were not all colored, and they had me there, as Douglas used to say, "to give color to the occasion." (Laughter.) I have spoken, I believe, to about 10,000 white men and women and colored men and women in Atlanta, Ga., some twenty-odd years ago, but this is the first time in the history of my life when I have stood face to face with such a body of colored men and women. I do not like that word "colored." I have never been colored myself. I think the old grammarians tell us that colored is the perfect particle of color, and that one had to go through it. I have never gone through any process myself; I was just born this way (laughter), and I do not like the word "colored." I prefer the word Negro. I was given to us in apprehium, but I believe that under God we are going to make the name the most respected under the sun of heaven. (Applause.) Negro Leadership I am going to talk to you on Negro Leadership. Every distinctive group of people must have its own leaders. A man to be a leader must represent the people. The word "represent" is made up of two words: "to" "present." A people have in them certain desires, certain longings, certain yearnings, certain hopes and ambitions and aspirations, and where a people have a separate and distinct life they have a paternal and distinct yearning and aspiration and unless a white man can turn to be a Negro he cannot represent a Negro. A man cannot represent a thing unless it is in him; and no man who is not a Negro, who does not feel all that a Negro feels, who does not sympathize with him, who does not weep when he heeps and jolles when he rejoices, who does not carry in his bony the same spirit and aspiration of the people cannot represent a people. And that is one reason we have been so awakened and so firmly among ourselves. The fact is that the deep subconsciousness of the Negro's nature has not yet been sounded. It is being sounded and wherever it is being sounded it is being awakened, and by and by, when the Negro comes into full race consciousness, then a great many men who are trying to lead will have to hunt another job. The Qualities of Leadership Not only must the lessons be representative representing a people—he must interpret to the people; he must tell the people what is in their own hearts; he must gather together the nabula, as it were, in their own bosoms; in their own minds, yet unable to express them. This leader must come to the people and interpret to the people what is in their hearts. He must not only interpret to the people, not only tell the people what they want and must have; he must tell other people from whom he would secure their rights and privileges what his people want. He must take no compromising stand; he must not get on the fence, but he must stand flatfooted on the eternal principle of right and look into the faces of the enemies of his people and say, "Run up the white flag or I propose to move immediately upon your works." He must interpret to the people and then he must be thoroughly loyal to the people; loyal to the cause; he must be a man of vision; he must have faith in himself. No man is fit to lead who has not faith in himself—failure in his own inward. In order that sinks deep down for no man whom God does not talk to fit to lead, God takes His leader side and whispers into his ear. It is not the voice of thunder; it is not the voice of lightning; it is not the voice of an earthquake, but it is the still small voice that God whispers into the soul of the man that his would be. It is the voice of God that makes him feel that he is God's man, in God's place, doing God's work in God's way, and the man who gets that faith in himself does not care for money for the sake of money, does not care for reputation, does not care for the applause of the fickle multitude unless they are going his way. (Applause). But he is a man who stands out for the right because he believes that back of him is Almighty God and the battalions of heaven. He is a man who has faith in his people, faith in their achievement, faith in their future. He is on the mountain himself, and he knows that man comes from the ranks of the people. He is a man who attains to the same heights to which he has attained himself. And the man who has not confidence and faith in his own people he is not fit to try to be a leader. Go-Called Negro Leaders There are today - lots of specialized Negro leaders telling us that this program is too big to be put over.

And those who were not present missed an unusual ornithical treat and musical feast. Hon. Marcus Garvey, the President-General, delivered the principal speech, taking as his subject, "Extangling Alliances and Affiliations," in which he displayed no loss of power in swaying his hearers of yore. Sly Wm. H. Ferris, assistant president-general and editor of the Negro World, delivered one of his sky-rocket, historical, encyclopaedic addresses, and was immediately followed by the Rev. Dr. C. M. Grandison, a new speaker in Liberty Hall. Dr. Grandison, a powerfully built man, whose identity as a Negro cannot be mistaken, is a man of many years' experience not only as a minister, but as a platform speaker and collage president. He spoke on "Negro Leadership" and showed a mastery of the language equaled by few man, the fourth most powerful and well-versed. In addition, the Hon. Marquis Garvey as the intrepid leader of the Race, was a masterpiece, and when he concluded, there was not only long and loud applause, but everyone commented and whipped to the one sitting next him or her upon the brilliant address. J. Vance Lewis, Ed. of Texas, also spoke, he, too, having been heard here for the first time, and made a good impression, particularly when he said that the president-general name, instead of being Marquis Garvey, should be Mose Garvey, because of the great qualities he possesses as a leader. The president-general, in the course of his address, an extract from a newspaper, in *London*, Portugal, in which an account was given of a meeting held in Portuguese Africa to hear the report of the delegates sent to the government. The report stated that the native Africans there refused to hear the delegates, declaring that they did not represent them, and that the insurgent broke up with lead cries on "Long live, Marcos' Africa and the African National Party!" This news, the speaker pointed out, showed the influence of the U. N. L. upon the black people of the world everywhere, and that its princes are now balm accepted and adopted universally by Negroes, proving that Negroes no longer want or will accept the appointed by Britain, but insist, and will respect only rich leaders and representatives of women and appointed by themselves. He returned to, the insidious propaganda that is being spread throughout this country, in many forms, to injure the cause of the U. N. L. A., as by organizations having similar names to the U. N. 32 L. A., by others having similar objects and purposes by the press, and by so-called Negro leaders, all of which and all of whom are subdued. This propaganda, however, is making its way in its endeavors, in its design and execution, and Mr. Garvey urged the members of the U. N. L. A. not to become disillusioned. By such propaganda, and by beware of enlarging alliances and animosities, especially when these promo investigation are descriptive and like wolves in fambly clothing. ing the manner of carrying it into practical execution. Many people, he commented, have dreams and good ideas but do not know how to put them into practical application. After referring to Benjamin Banneker, Frederick Dougain, Coleridge Taylor, Phyllis Wheatley and other men and women of the race he is great praise of the leader of the U. N. I. A. and Tonder stands another great man, head and shoulders above them all—so big, so large, that all the world sees him. He was not called by McKinley or by Roosevelt or by William Howard Tart or by any of the coterie of white men who have been inspired to name Negro leaders; but the eyes of 400,000 Negroes are turned toward him and 880,000,000 Negroes in Africa are reaching out their ebony hands toward him. It was a great and thrilling climax and created a profound impression on the audience. Playa Du Gols Sir William H. Ferris in his address alluded to Dr. Du Bour rise to prominence twelve years ago through certain noted white man having decided upon and selected him as fit to be a Negro leader, and when the announcement was made a great hurrah went up over the land, the people expecting great things from the leader appointed not by but for them, and the people disappointed and they have come to recognize a leader of their own choosing a man who two years ago flashed the news around the world that the Negro by his own genius could do what other people and race have done, and that the same spirit that impaled William the Conqueror, Hannah the Great, Napoléon Bonaparte, Christopher Columbus and other great man in history, deeds that have been actuated by Garvey in establishing the H. N. L. A. and the Black Star Lina. Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, the High Chancellor, read the Scripture lesson from the 27th Psalm. Prayer was conducted by the President-General. The musical program consisted of several numbers, among them being "William Tell Overture," "The Serenade," and soprano solo by Miss Marie Urquhart; soprano solo by Mme. M. H. Houston; tenor solo by Mr. Edward Stello; and soprano solo by Mme. Fraser Robinhan. One of the speakers conferred a high compliment upon the singer which was deserving, as the music was of unusual quality. The solo by Mr. Stello and the solo by Miss Marie Urquhart, a young soprano. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS MR. GARRETT Ladies and Gentlemen: My subject tonight, in "Ensanguishing Associations and Affiliations," as a prelude, I desire to rewrite a bit of news that comes to us Africa, through Portugal, in published in one of the daily papers of Lisbon. The paper itself is published in Portugal. The article has been translated, and I will read to you the translation: PORTUGUESS NEGROES AND THE CONGREES THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 rejected them as their representatives, which demonstrates the new spirit of Negroes everywhere—to follow and support only leaders elected by themselves. the Universal Negro Improvement Association has achieved nothing else in its four years' existence but to get Negroes to realize that leadership must come from among them and must be elected by them. it will have performed a great service to the race. These Africans have demonstrated a high degree of intelligence in selecting a leadership that we with all our civilization and enlightenment, do not possess; because they were able to discriminate between those whom they elected and whom they placed, and those placed by others. Association Strong Everywhere What has happened in Portuguese Africa is about to happen in other parts of Africa, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is sparing no pain, neither money, to carry its propaganda throughout the world. Some people seem to believe that we are going to live in the United States of America only; but I say we are strong everywhere. (Applause.) Some people think that we have to leave America to declare Africa free. Africa is getting ready now to declare for her own freedom, because what the Portuguese-African Negroes have done the Belgian Negroes have done in the Belgian Congo (Applause), and only a couple of weeks ago you read in the papers what the South African are doing—the South African Negroes. We have so scattered the propaganda of this organization that the race everywhere has caught the new spirit of freedom; has caught the new spirit of liberty. Many Embarrassments and Difficulties But in struggling toward the freedom we desire, the liberty we desire, we have to overcome many embarrassments, many difficulties, which are placed in our way not so much directly by those who are opposed to us, as by those who are from among us. We are surrounded with peculiar environments. We are struggling up under great disadvantage. We are living in a civilization that is highly developed; we are living in a world that is scientifically arranged, in which everything done by those who control the world is done through system, proper arrangement, proper organization; and among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called "propaganda." Propaganda Used to Keep Negroes Divided Propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized people to convert others against their will; and we are suffering, more than any other race in the world, from propaganda—propaganda to destroy our hopes, to destroy our ambition, to destroy our confidence in life. The propaganda is used. I say, not directly by those who are opposed to us, but is used by those who are with us, as agents of those who are directly opposed to us. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is surrounded with propaganda that we understand if we must ultimately succeed, and thereby the usefulness of this organization, the success of this organization, to destroy the hope of this race of ours for freedom, for true liberty, propaganda has been organized to the effect that you will be so diverted, you will be so divided as to bring about confusion among ourselves, and in the confusion will come the success of the plan laid out by those who are organizing to keep us where we are until we are completely destroyed. AGENTS PLEASE READ Please send your orders for papers to reach the office of the Negro World on or before Friday, one week before the date of issue (Saturday). Send money along with your orders, otherwise they will not be sent. State whether money is sent for subscription or for "special order." -Write your name plainly. Give street and number. Post Office box or Route. If you want to increase your supply of papers be sure and state it clearly in your letter. What do I mean by that? I mean that: that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out at this time on a platform of equity, of justice, of liberty, of freedom for the Negro. Everybody knows it to be a just cause. No one knows it better than those who robbed and exploited and murdered us for over three hundred years. They know it is the program sought by all people, and that it is the program that should be supported by all people who know themselves to be the creatures of God. Their pose is in true freedom, liberty, true democracy by ourselves, because they have always held us as slaves, and they will always keep us as slaves to suit their convenience, provided we let them do that. So as to keep us slaves, so as to be able to use us as they doin', until they feel that they can do compulsively without us, they have instated, they have started, they have subsidized counter-propaganda, counter-movements, some of them having the same appearance as your own Universal Negro Improvement Association, movements that actually try to do the same thing you are trying to do, movements coming out with the same program you have view of, in the idea of dividing and ultimately dividing you. They know that without unity there can be no success. They know well that with division among you, you will fight among yourself, and therefore there will never come a conflict with them—that is between us and them. Negroes Subsidized to Oppose Negroes The propaganda that is subsidized to carry on the work of opposition is being done through our own people. The Pan-African Congress, held in France the other day, and in Belgium and in England, was nothing else but a disinformation effort. The intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and not only the Pan-African Congress, but other movements, too, have been organized and are being subsidized to defeat Negro opinions. Some belong to the Pan-African Congress, some belong to African Blood Brotherhood, some belong to other movements, and by the division among all of us we will be in such confusion that nothing will be attained. Negro Support of Negro Leadership Imperative I went you to realize this—that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, there should be but one policy for you, and that policy should be Negro leadership, and Negro support of Negro leadership. (Applause.) Where other things are concerned, as religion, social life, or industrial life, we can afford to admit into association other races; but where your liberty is concerned, where your freedom is concerned, no one should be allowed but yourselves. (Applause.) Because to the liberty must be won from some one if you haven't got it. If you haven't liberty, and you are struggling for it, you will have to get it from some one; you are in desperation of it. How then can you afford to accept into your association, into your companionship, into your executive councils, men who have kept you from getting your liberty, and those who are opposed to the progress you are making for your liberty? It is illogical. If Africa is to be freed from Europe she has got to be made free upon her own initiative, free from any alliance or aid from Europeans Africans cannot expect Europe to help free Africa when Europe is the country that keeps Africa in subjection. It is illogical. Entangling Alliances Not to Be Encouraged Here we have Negro institutions, Negro organizations in this country, and in different parts of the world, subsided by white men; some of them by white men as their executive officers; some of them are engineered in such a skillful way not to have white men show themselves, but white men's own skills; and some of them are certain time those who support the propaganda with their finance will be able to dictate the policy of the organization. I want you to realize, therefore, that where your liberty, where your freedom is concerned, you cannot afford to encourage entangling alliances and entangling associations and affiliations, because if liberty is to be won from a certain government, you cannot afford to let that government be your enemy. I want you to analyze well associations and organizations that are endeavoring by their programs to fight for the liberty of Africa. They are meant only to de cave. It is only an intention to create division in your ranks, knowing well that nothing can be achieved through division. U. N. I. A. Now a World Power I think the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed the experimental stage. It has passed the control of any one man, or the control of any two or three men, or otetie of man. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a world power, and has grown from its childhood as an organization to its full bloom. I am not saying that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only Negro movement we should have, but I say it should be the only Negro movement as far as liberty is concerned, for the simple reason that we cannot afford to be divided where the fight for liberty is concerned. If there is division of any army on the battlefield, it means that the battle is lost, that more men on the battleplains of life united; therefore, if our objective is a free Africa for the liberation of Negroes, we should have but one organization, because when the command is given it should come from but one general. If you have ten generals giving counter-commands, you are bound to be defeated. Therefore, I want you to realize that we are living in dangerous times. We are living in times when you cannot afford to say "Let us do that, let us do this," as far as this organization is concerned, we must have a certain policy; we must have either one or the other. The one that means liberty must be done wholly by yourselves, because no race, no other race, is going to give you liberty, especially when that race oppresses you and is succeeding at your expense, as has been the case during the last three hundred years. For the last 300 years the white man has been our oppressor and he naturally is not going to liberate you. He is not going to liberate you to the higher freedom, the higher liberty—the true democracy. You have to liberate yourselves. And I am warning you at this time that many efforts are being made to subvert the higher aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is counter-propaganda, and I want you to watch out for it. If you do not allow a white man to trick me or to deceive me I prefer to die. I feel that the time has come for the Negro in politics—for the Negro in his desire for government to do for himself. If he is not prepared to do that he may as well throw up the sponge. No one will give you liberty but yourself and you must get it through organization. I think the Negro is right at the stage now when he can start himself for his own liberty. If you have not arrived at that stage you should not support the cause of liberty and I think we are sufficiently equipped today as we are. It does not take so much money; it is not money so much that will win this cause. It is unity of organized Greeces and we will win out in the great cause of dreadness and liberation, and the world knows it, and the world is not going to give you your freedom so easily. They will use every means at their disposal to prevent you from acquiring Africa because of the greatest continent before the richest continent the world just at this time. Africa is the most resourceful continent in the world at this time, and the future nations of the world will exist at the expense of Africa, and it is for us now in the interest of freedom and realizing that Africa is looking to us, to fight for the salvation of Africa. They will tell you in America that you are not related to the Africans, that you have nothing in common with them. They will tell the Africans at home that they are not related to the Negroes over here in Africa they tell the Africans they are better than the Negroes over here than the Africans over there. And so there is propaganda all over to divide us. But thank God, through the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all Negro know that we are one people; we shall live as one people and we shall die as one people. (Applause) Do Not Allow Yourselves to Be Defeated Some of us because of our selfish desire, because of our selfish ends allow ourselves to be used for the carrying out of the purposes of others in deacting the higher aims and effects of this organization. It is the desire to keep Africa divided; it is the desire to keep Africa exploited; it is the desire to keep Negroes fighting themselves and they will employ some of us and give us large sums of money; they will spend thousands of dollars to support and wage a campaign to deceive and divide the race, and because of what we can get for ourselves personally we allow ourselves to be used as the tools; but the God who is the Creator of mankind; God who is never asleep. I feel sure is watching his achievement, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have used all kinds of means to defeat the Universal Negro Improvement Association; they have used prophets; they have used saints; they have used all kinds of names; they called us theresa; they call us unimportant people; they say we do not know how to do business; they try to embarrass us in business; they say we do not know anything about because and they are attempting to other ways to discourage from carrying out our industrial and business activities. Everything that has done to the minds of this organization, but thank God, we have a new Negro here—a new Negro who realizes that liberty does not mean dollars and cents. Liberty, means in certain cases our way. We must realize that to give our last chance, afraid may be free. Those of you who have been connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association for two or three years will recall the continued propaganda of criticism against the Universal Negro Improvement Association: the continued program of criticism against the Black Star Line. You have seen the Negro newspapers lying against the Black Star Line and against the Negro Postmaster Corporation. It was out a certain intention. They who are opposed to us know the psychology of the people; they know the psychology of our race. If you can create suspicion among them you have them defeated. Thank God four million of us have been able to rise above suspicion—four million of us realize in the fight to free Africa and to emancipate ourselves, and when the deception comes we are disillusioned. We all race have pointed in a like manner to success. They have had their traitors and we will have ours too. Therefore do not be discouraged by the acts of the traitors do not be discouraged by what others may do or say. counter propaganda against us, but continue the good work for the good that will accrue to us as a people today and tomorrow. Again I must who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the loyalty you have displayed, for the devotion you have given to this grand an noble cause. I say continue the work because the victory is drawing high. Just imagine, four years ago the Belgian Congo was under tutelage, four years ago Portuguese Africa was under tutelage, four years ago South Africa was under tutelage the Negro—the nation of the Negro the Congo the Negro of the Congo the Negro of the Portuguese colonies, the Negro of South Africa is speaking out in the language of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and declaring for an African National Party (Applaus). We have achieved greatness in four years, and if I die tonight or if I die tomorrow or ten years from now or fifty years from now, I will go to my grave feeling satisfied that I did my duty to my race and my God. (Applaus). In struggling toward this higher end of a Free Africa some of us must make up our minds even for death; and as for me, I am prepared to die at any time. I am prepared to die at any time. I must compromise; tell me that I must back down, tell me that I must apologize, I say let me die. Almighty God at the hour; because there is no apology in liberty; there is no compromise in liberty. There is a straight fight for liberty and some of us must die before liberty perches on the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applaus). SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS. Sir William H. Fervis, Assistant President General and literary editor of the Negro World, was the first speaker of the evening, and among other things said Twelve years ago the news swept over the country that Dr Du Bois had been inspected by Moorteld Storey, then a lawyer and philanthropist, and by Owald Garsson Villard, editor of the Nation, and pronounced to be fit for Negro leadership, and the people it was a big thing for a black man in books, manners, morals and dress, and they threw up their hands and said hurrah. But two years ago the news was flashed over the world that black men could not only be apt pupils of white men—not only could they imitate white men, but could construct and create on their own hook, and that is the reason why the Negroes of the world were thrilled when the Yarmouth set sail. It was not a large boat and it was not a new boat, but it was the spirit behind the launching of the Black Star Line that thrilled the Negro world and surprised the white world. The same spirit that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the Channel and wrested the kingship from King Harold—the same spirit which they crushed the Alps; the same spirit which Columbus showed when he launched on a cruiser and discovered a new continent in the Hon. Marous Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line when they launched the Yarmouth. And it was because the world was made conscious of the fact that a new spirit of initiative, daring courage and energy had taken possession of the Negro that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is respected. U. N. I. A. Has Shown Moral Stimula The Universal Negro Improvement Association has shown a moral stamina and ability to face obstacles to stand hammering as no other Negro organization has stood, and it is meaning of the as stamina that has been exhibited by the members of the U. N. L. A. that the world believes that it is an organization which is here to stay. We have had a great many men to connect themselves with our ranks. Some of them have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Men of Character Needed Men of Character Needed What Marus Garvey needs is man of character. In the scriptures they speak about a man who built his house on the shifting sands and the other man who built his house on a rock. Well, man who has no character is like the shifting sands, and the man who has character is like a rock—the rock upon which New York city and Harlem have been built. Because when a man has character and beauty you can upon him. The reason why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is delaying deep in the soil of human beings is because it has already realized that no other societies have that race; that depends entirely upon another race to life it up, and carry it its使命 will always very far. no matter how much, love there is! in your nature; no matter how much pay, you get: by your caring; a yam all the time, unless a man somehow, or else gives the strength to stand on his feet and walk he. will to left in the "turch"; and that applies to the Negro. And & is because of the constructive program of the Libertian 'Construction Loan' and the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation which will put a 'Foundation' and bedrock in the Negro; that the U. M. Y. A. is something more than a wind-lamming organization, because it is built upon the solid rock. (Amplified.) DR. G. M. GRANDISON SPEAKS Dr. G. M. GRANDISPEAR Rev. Dr. C. M. Grandism was then introduced and spoke as follows. Your Secretary, the President General and Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council, officers and members of the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Society, the President General moment of my life. This is the first time in a long career when I have had the privilege of addressing such a large intelligent and representative body of colored man and women, I have spoken to a larger body of men and women than this, but they were not all colored, and they had me there, as Douglas used to say, "to give color to the occasion." (Laughter.) I have spoken. I believe, to about 10,000 white men and women and colored man and women in Atlanta, Ga., some twenty-odd years ago, but this is the first time in the history of my life when I have stood face to face with such a body of colored men and women. I do not like that word "colored." I have never been colored myself. I think the old grammarians tell us that colored is the perfect particle of color, and that one had been colored. I have not gone through any process myself; I was just born this way (laughter), and I do not like the word "colored." I prefer the word Negro. I was given to us in opprobrium, but I believe that under God we are going to make the name the most respected under the sun of heaven. (Applauses.) Negro Leadership I am going to talk to you on Negro Leadership. Every distinctive group of people must have its own leaders. A man to be a leader must represent the people. The word "represent" is made up of two words: "to" "present". A people have in them certain desires, certain longings, certain yearnings, certain hopes and ambitions and aspirations, and where a people have a separate and distinct life they have a separate and distinct yearning and aspiration and unless a white man can turn to be a Negro he cannot represent a Negro. A man cannot represent a thing unless it is in him; and no man who is not a Negro, who does not feel all that a Negro feels, who does not sympathize with him, who does not weep when he heeps and rejoice when he rejoices, who does not carry in his bosom the same spirit and aspiration of the people cannot represent a people. And that is one reason we have been centently among ourselves. The fact is that the deep subconsciousness of the Negro nature has not yet been sounded. It is being sounded and wherever it is being sounded it is being awakened, and by and by, when the Negro comes into full race consciousness, then a great many men who are trying to lead will have to hunt an other job. The Qualities of Leadership The Qualities of Leadership not only must a leader be a representative representing a people—he must interpret to the people; he must tell the people what is in their own hearts; he must gather together the people who are the bombs; in their own minds, yet unable to express them. This leader must come to the people and interpret to the people what is in their hearts. He must not only interpret to the people; he must interpret for the people; not only tell the people what they want and must have; he must tell other people from whom he would secure their rights and privileges what his people want. He must take no compromising stand; he must not get on the force, but he must stand flatfooted on the eternal principle of right and look into the faces of the enemies of his people and say, "Run up the white flag or I propose to move immediately upon your works." He must interpret to the people and then he must be thoroughly loyal to the people; loyal to the cause; he must be a man of vision; he must have faith in himself. No man is fit to lead who has not faith in himself—failure in his own innate. Inability, faith in the glory of God, faith in the faith of the people, in the man whom God does not talk to, fit to lead. God takes His leader side and whispers into his car. It is not the voice of thunder; it is not the voice of lightning; it is not the voice of an earthquake but it is the still small voice that God whispers into the soul of the man that He would have lead a people. It is the love of God that makes him feel that he is God's man, in God's place, doing God's work in God's way, and the man who gets that faith in himself does not care for money for the sake of money, does not care for repitation, does not care for the applause of the fickle multitude unless he has the strength to fight. But he is a man who stands out for the right because he believes that back of him is Almighty God and the battles of heaven. He is a man who has faith in his people, faith in their possibilities, faith in their achievement, faith in their future. He is on the mountain himself, and he knows that he has come from the ranks of the people and believes that they can climb to the same heights to which he has attained himself. And the man who has come from the ranks of the people he is not fit to try to be a leader. He called Nelson. These are today a lot of goofed Kevin Medley saying that the MP3 program is too big to be put on. "Too big, why?", if white jim works at the head, he'd, they wouldn't be able to win. 63 West 12th Street, New York.

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE N. A. A. C. P. AND THE U. N. L. A. WELVE years ago the news spread around the world that white men of wealth, family prestige and professional standing had lifted Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, a Harvard Ph.D., upon their aegis and proclaimed him the most gifted living Negro. And for a few years he was the lion of the hour. He was the hottest tomale that came rolling down the African turpike. Two years ago the news fell upon the world like a bolt from the blue that Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican, had organized a steamship company and had actually purchased and launched a steamship. A year ago last summer the world was more startled when it heard that the same Garvey had packed Madison Square Garden to the very doors and for thirty-one days held a convention of Negro delegates assembled from the four quarters of the globe. In Dr. Du Bois it saw a Negro who could learn what white men taught in books—morals, manners and dress; in Marcus Garvey a Negro of imagination, originality and initiative. THE N. A. A. C. P. It seems to us that there is no necessary antagonism between the N. A. A. C. P. and the U. N. I. A. Usually in any organization the men of training, welfare and prestige control. There are brainy men and women of color in the N. A. A. C. P. like Grimke, Du Bois, Johnson, Pickens and Miles Forset; but none of them have the wealth, prestige and standing that some of the white leaders in the move have. And never in nature do we find the fall swagger the dog or the tail directing the kite. Take Moorfield Storey, for instance. He comes of a distinguished family. He is one of the most distinguished lawyers, writers and philanthropists in America. He was Charles Sumner's private secretary. He has served as president of the American Bar Association and as president of the Anti-Imperialistic League. He is probably the most distinguished private citizen in New England. His word carries great weight in the country. He was elected president of the N. A. A. C. P., not because he was white, but because of the prestige of his name. Then take Oswald Garrison Villard, a man whom we by no means love. He is not a brainlion man that Dr. Du Bois or Hon. Archibald Grimke. But he has ancestry, wealth and the control of one of the most powerful weekly magazines in the country. He was first elected chairman of the Executive Committee of the N. A. A. C. P. and then treasurer, not because he was white, but because of his influence and force of character. When men form an organization or church or business corporation they put at the head the then of the greatest prestige and highest standing. So if men of the prestige, calibre and standing of Messrs. Storey and Wallard are in the N. A. A. C. P. it is natural that they should play a prominent part and that their prestige, standing and influence should be capitalized to the sixth degree. Inasmich as 95 per cent. of the American Negroes are largely dependent for their chance to earn their bread and butter upon the good-will and confidence of the Caucasian it is advisable that some men of weight, health and influence in the Caucasian races be kindly disposed to the Negro and throw their weight and Influence in his favor. And it is a wise move to get white men of influence interested in the Negro. The black workmen needs friends at court. So there is a real need for an organization like the N. A. A. C. P. if it confines itself to elevating the civic, political, legal and economic status of the Negro instead of making and unmaking Negro leaders, setting them up and knocking them down like tempins and endeavoring to determine "Who is who in the Negro race." Black men have demurred at their white friends selecting leaders for them, because their white friends did not usually by a critical and analytical survey of the man, select the one best suited by ability and persequency to lead the black hosts, and a joke is a plastic man they can mold and use or a genteel man socially acceptable to them. Thus they selected Dr. Booker T. Washington, who commanded executive and administrative ability but lacked the required intellectual equipment. Then they selected Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, who commanded the required institutional equipment and the culture and the amenities that is an asset in social circles but couldn't size up men well enough that it can magnetize the black masses. Both Dr. Washington and Dr. DuBois possessed ability of a certain kind, but not the required The U. N. N. A. has no quarrel with the N. A. A. C. P. Only the H. N. I. A. believes that the Negro race will impress the world more by it does on its own infallibility and under its own腕 than what we are following the lead of men of other races. Hence the U. N. I. A. not desire the N. A. A. C. P. destroyed or broken up. It only desires to show to the world that the Negro can plan and lead as well as mankind follow and can do big things on his own hook. It does not THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1921 Caucasian. The world knows that the Negro is imitative. The world knows that the Negro has shown, remarkable aptitude in absorbing and assimilating Anglo-Saxon civilization. But the U. N. I. A. is teaching black men and the white world that the Negro also possesses the creative and constructive ability, the imagination to conceive and the will to execute vast plans. That is why the U. N. I. A. has thrilled black men everywhere and impressed white men everywhere as no other Negro movement has. When one representing the other of the Province's city is operating, I am an Odd Fallon years standing, also a about the same period, in installing a branch of did we pay the gov't or a compliment as we ing of the U. N. I. A. The U. N. I. A., the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation have dazzled the world, not so much because of the colossal things already accomplished as because of the revelation of an awakened soul in the Negro. The same courage and initiative that William the Conqueror manifested when he crossed the English Channel and wrested the crown from King Harold at Hastings, the same spirit that Hannibal and Napoleon manifested when they crossed the Alps, the same spirit that Columbus manifested when no sailed across an unknown sea and discovered a new continent, the same spirit that the Pilgrim fathers manifested when they crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower and planted a new commonwealth in bleak and barren New England, the same spirit that Toussaint L'Ouverture manifested when he threw off the Spanish, French and English yoke was manifested by the U N. I. A. when it backed the Black Star Line, sent the Yarmouth out of the New York Harbor into the Caribbean Sea and entered the field of commerce. The value of the U. N. I. A. and the Black Star Line cannot be measured by dollars and cents, although money is all powerful on these mundane shores and is the thermometer which registers modern success. But their value lies in the fact that they indicate that the sons and daughters of Ethiopia have awakened from the sleep of centuries and instead of waiting for something to turn up are beginning to turn up something themselves. The value of these organizations resides in the fact that they strike a new note to which the Negro's soul sympathetically responds, that they call upon the Negro to go out and achieve, to carve out his destiny and write a new page in the world's history as his ancestors did centuries ago on the banks of the Nile and the isle of Meroe when they laid the foundations of the world's astronomy, mathematics, architecture and philosophy. When the immense crowds that now pack and crowd Liberty Hall, New York, shall no longer tread these terrestrial shores, when the spirit of His Excellency the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis shall have gone back to the Father of Spirits, the desires, hopes, ambitions and aspirations which the U N I A and the Black Star Line have generated in the soul of the new Negro will live on, inspiring him not only to demand a man's chance and a man's status in the world, but to put forth his energy and exert his will in mastering modern science, industry, commerce and politics, cultivating farms, building up factories, sailing the seven seas and developing a continent, thus making his own place in the world. THE KU KLUX KLAN: A QUERY BEFORE the congressional committee that investigated the Ku Klux Klan and finally dropped the investigation, Rev Simmons, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, dropped to his knees, bowed his head and shed tears, exclaiming: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," or words to that effect. He stated that the Ku Klux Klan was a patriotic, law-abiding organization and was not hostile to Negroes. On page 754 of volume II of "The African Abroad," published in 1913, this is what we said of the Ku Klux Klan after a calm and passionate study of it: "Such, in part, was the code of the Black Laws which were rendered null and void by the Fourteenth Amendment. But the South spurned the Fourteenth Amendment, and then the Fifteenth Amendment was passed. Still the South was not conquered yet, members of the Ku Klux Klans, secret, oath-bound societies, disguised with masks and armed to the teeth, rode at night, committed depredations and did their bloody work. They first rose in Louisiana and vented their wrath upon colored men and their white political sympathizers. Hon James G. Blaine said 'Over two thousand persons were killed, wounded or otherwise injured in Louisiana within a few weeks of the Presidential election of 1868.' The State was overrun by violence, midnight raids, secret murders and open riots. In one parish the Ku Klux Klans killed and wounded over two hundred Republicans, hunting and chasing them for two days through the fields and swamps. Over twenty-five bodies were found in one place in the woods." Dr. William A. Sinclair, on page 36 of his admirable book, "The Aftermath of Slavery," says "The horrors of cruelties of the Ku Klux Klans in Louisiana were fully rivaled in Mississippi and more or less largely sustained in each of the Southern States." If such was the Ku Klux Klan in 1868, and the present Ku Klux Klan is a patriotic, law-abiding and peace-loving organization, why does it take the name and don the mask of the infamous organization of 1868? Does not the name an organization assumes indicate something of its purpose, policy, principles and character? W H F. Dear Mr. Editor:—I beg of you space in your valuable paper to publish to the world the cause why the officers of Branch No. 28, U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. San Pedro de Manorana Santo Domingo are ingulhung in prison since September 8. On August 31 Branch No. 28 held a demonstration in honor of the successful termination of the second international convention of Negroes of the world. On September 3, while a meeting was in session two officers of the United States Marine Corps and about ten others them all were taken to prison without any warrant, when one of the men asked, "Why are we arrested?" the answer was "Shut your 6-d mouth." There were men, women and children. They then seized the charter, books, paper, buttons and sealed the building, property of the U. N. I. A. Next day some of the women and children were set free and the constitutional officers were kept in prison while they stalled guards around "Mazelation Hall" for five days after the arrest. The one C. A. Henry went to see them at the prison and he was locked up. On the seventh they were taken before the civil magistrate, were questioned and then repented to prison. On the ninth they were taken before the magistrate again, and questioned him to the states and objects of the U. Joining such an organization, and what benefit did they get from it? They were then found guilty of operating a society without the knowledge or consent of the government and to spread race riot. The principal officers were fined 84 each, namely, D. E. Phillips president; William Butler, second vice president; Charles Henry, third vice president; James Hallowell, general secretary; and James McCormick. The others were discharged—Historian Ellen Potter, Jane Williams, Violet Hallinga, Brothers Bridgwater, Ecoville Hloka, Rawlins and Welan. Their lawyer, Garcia, has appealed their case, as he says the fines are illegally imposed. I would like to state here that the persecution and imprisonment of these men have been from race prejudice, instigated by two white miners, one of American, the other an Englishman, and also a white lawyer, who has suffered defeat for his government job through the activities of the U. N. L. A., and not from operating a scool without the knowledge or consent of the government and to create race riot, as is charged. On or about December 15, 1918, the understated, then president of the U. N. I. A., before unveiling its charter addressed two letters, one to Admiral Snowden of the American Navy, then executive head of the Dominican Republic, informing of the opening of a branch at San Pedro de Macoría, defining its aims and objects as set forth in the preamble of the constitution, and also one to His Excellency Governor Gonzalez, civil head of the Province of San Pedro de Macoría On December 22 I received from Admiral Snowden, through his secretary, a reply approving of the society and winning its stoches. One week later I received one from Governor Gonzalez, stating also his approval and wishing its succes. tives, one representing the Republic, the other the Province in which the society is operating. I am an Odd Fellow of over ten years standing, also a Free Mason for about the same period, yet at no time in installing a branch of those societies did we pay the government so much as a compliment as we did at the opening of the U N I L A. and during the time of its continual working. In every project for social and public welfare we have been most active and have contributed more than any other fraternal society and yet we are accused of sowing seeds of discord. Because of our activities against certain white men, among whom were the British Vice-Consul and the aforementioned lawyer, who were trying to exploit our people, they were awaiting an opportunity to crush us. (His Excellency Sydney Deboue, leader of the South and Central America, can bear testimony to these activities, because he took part in them even before he came to the convention which elected him.) When I returned to Santo Domingo from the convention of 1920 it was hinted to me that this lawyer was preparing to attack us upon the grounds that our books were not registered in accordance with a commercial law (No other society has its books registered, only business corporations), so as to safeguard ourselves. I had the books registered. Thus ended all the government requirements. 1 Registered by the military government 2 Registered by the civil government 8. Registered by the municipal courts Thus after one year and nine months the military government, to please two white ministers whose Negro congregations had left them to open an independent Episcopal church, has imposed these men and is trying to deport them, so as to kill the 'I' N. I. A. and its activities, that the Negro people may return to white leadership On the 16th the officers were set free by the civil or Dominican government, but immediately arrested by the American military government. That is the case of those white despicable cowards, who get to others to do their dirty work The same way they did to me they have done to those men. Let the Dominican government make the arrest, and if they fail, then they make the arrest themselves, only in my case, both Dominican and American failed to get me. But ultimately justice and truth will conquer Are those brave men of the U N I A, suffering imprisonment because they dare to belong to an association which has asked the world for absolute equality in all things that are common to mankind Imagine one of these minisisters, who is now acting British Vice-Counsel bringing about the arrest of twelve of his Majesty's subjects, people whom he was filled there to protect and defend. By this we can see in the world today it is not a matter of nationality, but of race, white for white, against the black despite his nationality. Toll on brave men in the consciousness of the greatness of your race. We are 400 000 000 strong-with you to aid, protect and defend When history shall record the deeds of those who have suffered and bled and died for the Redemption of Africa you shall be gloriously mentioned and engraved in 'heroes' PHILIP VAN PUTTEN Priory for Santo Domingo in Negro Convention SUPERIORITY NOT ESTIMATED BY THE COLOR OF THE SKIN SUPERIORITY NOT ESTIMATED BY THE COLOR OF THE SKIN October 10 1921 To the Editor of The Negro World We of the Universal African Legion (Uniform Rank of the U N I A) like the uniform ranks of all other societies, dote to have the best and also to produce the best in us. We as a people heretofore believed that culture and intellectuality existed only among the white races, according to their teachings. We believed that superiority was estimated by the color of a man's skin or the texture of his hair, according to their teachings. We also believed that it was impossible for the Negro to be anything else than white. We even believed that it was impossible for a race to become a power and a nation but praise be to the Almighty God, creator of all mankind, that through His kindness to us as a race we are able at this time through the U N I. A. to realize the fact that the Negro race stands equal to the white race in many things, physically, morally, intellectually and spiritually. All these are facts that cannot be denied. Show our immoral post card on which the man is printed. This is one of the facts we convince me that immorality exists among the white races of the world. Show me the man in this modern time who has been able to stir up the races and nations the world over, even without a nation behind him, who also but a black man. Great was Napoleon, but he had a nation behind him. Great was Kaiser Wilhelm, but he had a nation behind him. Greater is the Hon. Macus Garvey, our matchless leader, who is saying to the world give us that which is ours. He as our commander-in-chief desires that every man who wears the uniform be true and loyal to this cause. Our duty as members of the U. A. L. is to see to that due respect be paid to our women, that the virtues of our race at large be protected, and the redemption of Africa given for us. A GREETING Editor Negro World, Dear Sir— Please allow me a little space to mention the heartfelt enthusiasm of the Puerto Padre Division No. 163 of the Universal Negro Improvement Association pertaining to the second International Convention. Rev J U OSBORNE. Ex. Beey. Puerto Padre Division. Oriente, Cuba. AERICA OUR HOPE To the Editor of the Negro World Dear Sir--Please grant me space in the most valuable paper of all to say a few words to my kin of the treatment that is accorded our brothers in allen lands. A few days ago a Negro by the name of Richard Dlert went into a Cuban business place to purchase his goods and there an inadult was given to him by a white man, and he returned it back to him. The white man hid in the house with a piece of iron and he fell to the ground, bleeding. When the policeman came he (the policeman) and the other white man said, "That's good, that is what the Negro needs." After he was taken to the station he was—go away, you drunken nigger. The next cruel act was the death of a poor Negro whose name was Daniel Clarke who was sick and sent to the hospital where he was badly treated and turned out by the doctor and a few days later he died. A certificate was found on the deceased bearing the signature of the hospital doctor. When he was to be buried the doctor (white) and his confederate charged $25 for a certificate to bury the dead Negro, step and think. Is this right? We Negroes left too much things to God, but we have come to the conclusion that the time has come for us to step forward. Another Negro was taken to the Haytian's was at the railway station when the train came with five coaches and the Haytian and the white Cubans stood on both sides of the coaches and spit on the poor Negroes and shouted, let out of our country. My brother Negroes, fix your eyes toward Africa. A next outrage on was on the farm of one Antonio Marty, a white Cuban, who had over five hundred Negro laborers working on his farm. He owed to these Negroes from $10 to $1,000 for work done on his farm. He left these poor Negroes for over four months without food or money while he led a life of luxury at a hotel in Hacana. And his major sent two of these British Negroes to jail for plucking sweet potatoes on this farm to save their lives. At Central Estrella conditions are such that about twenty-five Negroes had to work for only their meals as a stipend. At Central Cespedes also there are about fifty Negroes who were laid off without any payment of wages after five months of work, and do not know when they will be paid. White men were put back to work but the Negroes were left out. My brother Negroes: Is it not time for us to see that white man mean to kill us. May I say to you, my brethren, that we must take these things in consideration and rush to the call of our Mosque. Give your $8 for the redemption of Africa, and remember the people of Africa, and build up a government. Join the U. N. I. A. the only way for Negroes to be happy. So join and obey. In sad and loving memory of my dear sister Ade, who departed this life The month of October again is here and is the end of the year, two blisters on the nose. LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS STIRRING ADDRESS DELIVERED IN THE CITY OF NEW BEDFORD, MASS., AS THE GUEST OF DIV. 180 On Sunday it was grand to listen to the vivid descriptions of the beautiful islands of the sea, and also how our people welcomed the Black Star Line ships when they entered their harbors. She referred to her great grandfather signing the Declaration of Independence, and also of herself signing the determination for Negro independence. November 24, 1919 Although the English pound was worth $485 in our money, now it is worth about $350, and her subjects are wondering if it will still drop before it rises.

The president of our division, Mr. Oliver Grobe, made sincere remarks concerning Lady Davis's visit, and expressed his determination to help make our division up, to the standard of any one in the U. N. L. A. Lady Vidyton Davis's advice to our division was encouraging, and she expressed pleasure to know that love reigned with us. She wants to see our division grow. Black Cross nurses and Legion boys. Don't forget the parent body. Don't neglect the sick in the division. Don't fail to buy shares in all the different projects of "The Lady." As she is not ashamed to be a member of the U. N. L. A. she hoped we would persuade others to our ranks. All services were stituted, and the anthem was always sung. The close of the Sunday services all sang two verses of "God Be With You Until We Meet Again," and we all felt and wished Lady Henrietta Vintom Davis Godpoed in her work of love for our people. We shall begin our work here in Division 180 with renewed vigor and courage to make our breseen one of the best in the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. Yours truly. ```markdown ``` OLIVER GROEBE, President.

It took place in a receiving room which Sr. Alberto Pinho gave to the African Colony. There were a large number of African people in opposition to the meeting. Sra. Dr. Borria dos Santos and Macedo de Oliveira were invited to preside, but they declined the invitation. THE MOORS, THE MOUNTAIN By E. D. MOREL Time was when our sailors sailed forth, in the language of the time, to "sluge the King of Spain beard." It was a roystering, buccaneering period. But it had its elements of romance. Today England it would seem, become a recruiting ground for hirelings in the service of that King, to slaughter men who refuse to do his bidding. The old standard may not have been a high one, ethically, but how incomparably higher than the new? One's mind revolves back to that man, a squirrel sunlit land and to the men—many of whom of hue no darker than that of a sun-tanned Englishman—who inhabit it. Spain has been warring against them impotently for 400 years. A Noble Race They come of a stock which for long centuries led the western world in many arts and crafts, in the science of the stare, in the worship of the beautiful. Broken by the cannon of Castille, flung back with odious savagery by their "Christian" conquerors into the mountain recesses of their country of origin, expelled in droves from the land they fertilized with their industry and intelligence, they have survived in a jealously guarded independence. Long ages before their invasion of Southern Europe, wave upon wave of foreign conquest had shattered itself upon the granite of their hills, upon the granite of their stubborn resistance. Splendid in physique, of noble countenance and department, with muscles of tempered steel and wills of iron, they have maintained their freedom against all the infernal devices of modern "civilized" warfare. When I think of their racial cousins along that tormented North African coast, and what modern Europe has done for them—the Tunisian ground to the earth with oppressive taxes, the Tripolitan Arab flouted and degraded, the Algerian sodden with absinthe, landless and poverty-stricken—I take my hat to the bold tribesman. I will preserve his charrised independence and rid his country of the European concession hunter. And may any countryman of mine, dire though he his straits, think twice and thrice before helping a tottoring monarchy to bind the free men living along the spurs of the Atlas. There is another side to this matter which British Labor may with profit bear in mind Any assistance given from this country to the Spanish militarists does but help to fasten upon the back of the Spanish working man a burden he can ill sustain For, as ever in these anomalous imperialist wars, there is a double victim, the native race and the European working-man.

The first to speak was Sr. Nicolaan Santos Plinto, member of the African League, who was constantly interrupted and was forced to stop. Sr. Joe de Magalhane followed him, with the same force and had to leave the room. The assembly broke out with cries of, "Long live Marcus Garvay and the African National Party (meaning the Universal Negro Improvement Association) and away with the faken," and Sr. Diagne and that Pan-African Congress was not representing the African cause—"A Imprenza da Manda." Government in the endeavor to consolidate its position in the Riff country under the secret Franco-Spanish Convention of 1804, negotiated at the instance of Lord Landowne have been expended in sheer waste. It has been a dead loss nationally, for neither in trade, nor in anything else, has Spain ever got anything out of the Riff, or ever will. Moreover, our national responsibility in this business, if indirect, is not trifling. Before the 1804 convention Spain had contented herself for many years (after earlier and unsuccessful military efforts) with occupying the insignificant areas of her old presides—Ceuta, Melilla, Albuccas and Penonque Velez de la Gomera. By the secret convention, in which Spain played the ungrateful part of catspaw to a real or fancied British strategic interest, her government became possessed on paper of the whole Mediterranean coastline of Morocco (Tangier excluded) and of a not inconsiderable hinterland behind it. Her attempt to make that paper claim effective has culminated in the disaster her subjects are so unwilling to repair that her government must needs beat up recruits in other lands for the purpose. What a curse to our people, to the people of France, of Spain, of all Europe that Morocco deal has been. Can one point to a solitary benefit conferred upon a living soul—except, perhaps, to a more handful of cosmopolitan speculators—from the clandestine transactions whereby four men—Mr.Balfour, Lord Llandowne, M. Delcazne, and M. Paul Cambon—bargained away the rights and liberties of the peoples Egypt of Morocco, in the supposed national interests of "Britain" and of "France"?

The numbers played were: Prelude, Choral et Fugue..... Cherokee French Symphonic Frudes..... Schumann Poulain Fantasy, Etudes Op. 25. Mee 5 & 10..... Gimpin Reflects dans l'Eau..... Debauzy Jardins sans La Pluie..... Debauzy Transcriptions of Negro Melodies.... S. Coleridge Taylor Troubled in Mind (American). Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler (Americans). Miss Hagan had a difficult test to perform, as she had to play from memory elaborate and involved compositions, and she had to so vary her program that she could entertain and hold the attention of her audience for two hours without the aid of singers or orchestra. Miss Hagan performed the double feat very well. The musical critic of the New York American stated that Miss Hagan's memory played her fate once. "Yo, so, she quickly recited the whole piece," she did not notice it. It was a remarkable feat to play from memory long and difficult compositions which did not have an air or melody to carry one along. Miss Hagen has a pleasing personality and possesses temperament and technique. She varied her program so that it was not heavy. In Franck's Predece, she showed perfect mastery of the instrument. Her expression was wonderful and her phrasing excellent. In Schumann's Symphonic Etude, Miss Hagen showed that she was a real artist in sound. Her touch was gentle and she exhibited wonderful energy in her climaxes. So great was the applause that she came out and bowed twice. In Chopin's Polonaise Fantasy, the evenness of Miss Hagen's playing and her strong and vigorous finish attracted attention. When she played the light and rippling music of Debussy, Miss Hagen pleased the audience. In the transcriptions of Negro melodies, all of Miss Hagen's varied qualities showed at t'er best.

In "Taz In Ghee the Weary, Traveler," her wonderfully sling climbers, brought out the power of dance) Miles Hagan, showed surprising strength. What Col. Thomas Wentworth Hligman sold of Weddell Philips as an instructor can be said of Miss Hagan as a musician. Colonel Hligman sold that William Lloyd Garrison surpassed Philips in moral form, Frederick Douglas in elemental magnesium and Charles Summer in scholarship, but that in the blending of all the qualities that makes him a great master, Wendell Philips was not only greater than any single one of these, but greater than all three combined. So, in the case of Miss Hagan, her power resides not in the predominance of anyone quality, but in the combination of qualities. It is the blending of temperament with technique of perfect mastery of the piano and present power with emotional favour of a gentle and sympathetic touch with surprising strength and wonderful energy in the olivaceas that constitutes Miss Hagan's inimitable charm as a musical performer.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1821 FAKE PRINCE FLOCCED IN PHILADELPHIA the head of an organization, whose purpose is to advance Netweed through the air organization, for the development of white people with Nego at the head of it. If it is possible for your imagination to reach so far, it is difficulty due to us to inform the leadership of the N. A. A. C. P, with its profession. It looks like the rats shredding the cats for their leaders, or the mice inviting the spiders to their head. What we want is Negro leadership, not leadership shared. If in the body, et al, think it necessary to have white people in the organization, let them come in as followers? It is a dangerous experiment to have even good white people at the head of Negro organizations. But as we write we must remember that there are Negroes who believe that we have not reached that stage of development where we can be trusted with the leadership of ourselves. They accept white leadership as a necessary thing, forgetting that we have had three hundred years of it here in America, three hundred years of it to our overlasting shame and undoing. The man in the ditch has some enough now to break away. When will Dr. Bois with his many degrees discover that he knows enough to be his own manager? NOTICE There is a place for all organisations working in the interest of the cohorted people, and the U. N. L. A. would be this last to condemn any worthy effort; but we must insist that for Negro people ther. be Negro leadership. We think that the New York Dispatch is striking at fundamentals in this particular. ROBT, L. POSTON.

Nabhaye for the unfamiliar faces frown. Naught for the half-guessed scores or gibe he cares. Resolved to conquer, struggling day by day. His hours of study snatched when best he can.

HAVE YOUR NAME ENROLLED Our hearts are linked with Africa. We are making for her shores; Lift high the red, the black and green. And let her colors blow. Father Garvey's voice is calling now— His sheep from hill and plain; And through the mighty powers of God. We'll tell till freedom's gained. With faith and unity in our hearts We'll take the path that Garvey trods, And with our beautiful colors blowing in the breeze We'll sail for Ethiopia's sofa. And as we feel constrained to say, We feel no fear within. But like soldiers brave will follow Garvey— And the victory hope to win. But Garvey is on the wrong track— That is what the critics say: For Africa is not our home. We belong to the U. B. A. But they are seeking political friendship; And we are seeking true liberty— The white man's country with all its riche. It has no charms for me. I bid the critics come and join; For they must surely go this way. For the only way that they can triumph. Is through the powers of the U.N. I.A. Some think they are too wise to join; But they love to come and look; If you want to prove race loyalty and pride, "Enroll" your name on Garvey's Book. MATTIE G. JOHNSON, 528 Kruger Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio OUR CANAAN Man is but a shadow and life a dream, But when in his inner self he finds That there exists his strength sublime, Then he opens his, dormant eyes to shine and praises his God divine. He who made him from the dust of earth He who made him from the earth to birth. He who made him full of mirth. Without distinction nor below any higher worth. Then upon this good earth He placed them all, Saying, Gone be thine and true to all, Love thy brother on thy own self. And serve he, thy God, and no one else. So He left them here all to dwell, And on so greatly well, But mages lost their souls, Down down to the bottomless hall. But the Gnathians kept on serving Him. What Money Cannot Buy. It cannot buy the sunshine now that moonlight on the sea; It cannot buy the love of God or a true friend's loyalty. It cannot buy a mother's love for the child. Nor can it buy esther, and neither heavenly rest. But it will buy a star that's black; yes black as the cool from the mine. And if we wish to see its electric sparks Buy more shares in the Black Star Line. MRS L. PETERSON. Farth Amby, N. J. TO THE U. N. L. A. Of all the years of carvers play, That I had waited many a day.

THE LOUISVILLE DIVISION OF THE U. N. L A. ADDRESSED BY HIS EXCELLENCY SIDNEY DE BOURG Louisville, Ky. Sept. 30, 1921—The mass mailing of the U. N. Y. A. A. & A. G. Division No. 160 was held on the above date at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the body of the U. N. Y. A. A. His Excellency John Stynn De Bourg leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, Central and South America. Opening song in constitution book "The Gospel of Jesus," titled: "Scripture lesson, the 18th Psalm and prayer, led by the Chapelman, Mr. Joseph F. Bigga, after which the president, Rev. Dr. A. W. Thompson, declared, organization open for the public, some before it. The speaker was introduced by the president. His Excellency Rt. Hon. Sydney De Bourg began. Greeting the officers and members and friends of the Louville division, afterwards billins the heart of curiosity concerning the excitement and curiosity concerning the edition, the U. N. I. A., which Mr. De Bourg has believed was led by a mighty God and that the Scriptures cannot lie, and that we were chosen for this work, with that the Honorable Marquis de Bourg, and of this organization. The Negro of today must take his opportunity. Mr. De Bourg placed with the men and women of his race to wake up and not be aleep. He said that he felt as a new born Negro. Although he was 64 years of age, he felt only 8 years old when it came to the protection of his race. Mr. De Bourg during his studies the Negro grew思 thinking and what they were doing that he had seen nothing of what the white man calls civilization carried on by the black man, and that the N. J. A. means the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and we only want you to be awakened to your own interests. Mr. De Bourg said that the majority of Negro stands aside to see the organization go farther. And how the go to success if we don't carry it out? It doesn't matter and see a neighbor's house on fire and instead of carrying water to put it out, we stand aside and see it burn. We must not do that. The U. N. L. A. wants us to bear one another's burden (Applauses). We must stop believing that any other race is our superior and join the U. N. L. A. for it. It is to make the Negro 2nd big proper place under the sun. NOTICE Reduction in Price of U. N. L. A. Records Honor Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A.

DOLLE Last spring Ned Gouldin of Harvard set a world record in the bread jump. Gouldin is a. Negro. Did any of the representatives of other colleges refuse to compete in the bread jump event? Happened to be born black? Noted. Can you find any better relationship than in college athletics? For a long time, I've been getting tired of this color "this color." If I tell you that a man should have his chance, he should have it. He should have green, blue, white or black, and that includes the whole list except brown, which obviously doesn't belong. We have a situation where a man who holds the championship title refuses to meet a challenge for that title because the latter happens to be colored. Harry Wills has proven himself consistently a hard fighter. I even venture to say that his record during the days of big fighting on the other side of the ocean was a bit better than Dempsey. I don't hold that against Dempsey, because he always believed Dempsey was mercyful. He would have done his share willingly if it been for the advice of some of those around him. Negrosa Good Athlete. Speaking of those days, I don't remember having read anywhere of white men retaining to fight beside blacks. The record of some of the colored soldiers from them are just as distinguished as those of the white fighters. In my days of college coaching I handled many colored athletes and I have yet to find one who wasn't just as mature a thoroughhead as his white counterpart, but of them less attention: because of his color, and the same can be said of their class-mates. 'There is no dangling that there was a distinction between the colored boys and the whites on the field,' I said. 'It was my experience that when it came to compulsory athletics no distinction was made; his cause of color. Perhaps I was fortunate in this age of agent. I have heart of instructor of college athletes, refuting, to compete against colored men, but, in every case the man who refused, came from the South, where generations of princefriends had created a feeling which couldn't be overcome in a day. No such case in my personal experience and in my life, for I believe I could have found littlepathy for the man who was drawing the line. Willa Hard Fighter As I have said, there must be a line between the white and the black, the white and the yellow, the white and the minute that line is extended to the right, and the right and the main getting a fair chance, I am against it and against it hard. The older sporting fans will remember Taylor, Matthew. Lewis *and a. number of other things. You must give him some love, give him some attention, give him some challenge. "They will remember what I insinuated, sort of allow them to wear, who loved sport and competition and who made good, what they charge." Those who know Willis attribute these same characteristics to this angler. He is a hard fighter, who could give any man a good run for his money, he has found the way up to, in the step next to the top, and third from the bottom, so he quickly on the top says, "You might be a good fighter, but I can't have anything to do with you. Your skin doesn't happen to be the right color." It strikes me, as I've argued here, such a situation doesn't give a than literally that fighting chance, to which under the laws of sport every man should be entitled. I want to raise my own example, and I hope other favor of real sport will join with me in protesting against this "color line" when it is extended to prevent fair play in athletics—The Evening Sun, New York. NORTHCLIFFE'S WARNING TO AUSTRALIA Lord Northcliffe put a situation clearly and touched on an important aspect of the Far Eastern question when he told the Australians that white immigration to their country must be encouraged, and that will be swamped by Asiatics whether the Australians like it or not. Northcliffe after calling attention to the relinquishment of the land and its capacity for supporting acres of millions of people ascertained that the world will not tolerate an idle, empty Australia. In 1880, the British government in London Tiberius has history to support him. The world never has tolerated empty broad spaces which are rich, fertile and accessible and it never will, and though the instances of the working out of this intolerance which come in its mind place the white man in the role of conqueror and master, the white man in the role of conqueror and master, is no reason why the parts in the play may not be reversed. Australia immigrates from Asia; invasion up to this time was due to the beginning to its relative remoteness, being due to the might by the British fleet. But the ambitions has disappeared with the advance of steam and naval navigation. The circumstances of protection by force of arms alone seem to be depended upon. The British fleet will with four quarters of its artillery, naval and shore forces, and then make the first attack of later. This will have a considerable effect to do so.

FERRIS opened at 8 p.m. sharp by the opening Opead at 8 p.m. by the chaplain. An elaborate program, was then rendered. The first item was an address by the president, who with his usual eloquence sold among other things: Worthy delegates, officers and members of this Grand Republic: We have come here tonight to listen to the official report of our returned delegate; and in continuing he spoke (for the benefit of strangers) on the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. convincing the city of Nigroes owning a line of steamship, and above all, a government of their own. He asked that every Negro give his undivided support to the program of the U. N. L. A. A. A song was then rendered by Mr. Gordon; an address by a member of the Hon. advisory board; a solo by Mrs. Weeks of which was given a grand ovation. The man of the hour was the most famous in the person of Mr. C. A. Held, the returned delegate. He arose amid great applause and said: Mr. President, officers and members, I am physically indisposed tonight, but, as I had promised to give you an outline of some of the things I have seen in America, I shall endeavor to do so; and among other things he said: America is a great place. I landed in New Orleans, travelled through the South to New York. On this journey I saw great plantations, where these plantations now stand were great foresta. He further stated that America had railway forming a kind of network the continent ovea He also made mention of the great skyscrapers of New York. He said that if Africa must be redeemed, we must be prepared to do in Africa what the Pilgrim Fathers have done in America—that Africa's forests must be cut down, railroads must be laid industrial facilities must be rebuilt and great cities. He first said that New York delegates from the South going to the great convention to represent the South, and that they were glad to meet him as a delegate from far off Panama. He declared that Negroes in some parts of America are wealthy, owning banks, farms, plantations and other co-operations and that their wealth had been accumulated through strenuous labor and co-operation on the part of these Negroes. He also said that he met some of the most refined young ladies, and was impressed to hear that they were on a farm. The speech, for beginning, improved Negroes of this section of the Western Hemisphere to adopt the principles of the Negroes of the United States. As a quintet, was most readied by Mr. Forsyth and others, and then followed the important report of the delegate which was read, by the Executive Secretary, and at the end of the reading, the president, commanded highly the delegate for the efficient manner in which he had accomplished his duty, and then he asked if the members were satisfied with the report of the delegate (cries of Ye, Ye, and thunderous applause, came from everyone in the monastery audience). Three cheers was then given for the delegation for the conference for the delegate to convene. This meeting then came by the slapping of the National Athletics, and the audience dispersed with renewed vigor in the LL. A. September 29, 1921 Nepal, World. On Sunday, September 19, 1879, On Sunday, the Odeon, Division, Charles Mo. 4, was again desiged by an overwhining mass of enthusiastic members of the U. N. L. A. with the worthy delegation to the convention; Mr. Chan A. Edd, had returned with the glad idolage of the great convention. On November 1, 1879, that our delegation was again and a meeting was then announced for Sunday, the 18th at 7:40 p.m. On Sunday the 18th, before the time announced for this meeting Liberty Hall was beheaded by hundreds of enthusiastic Negroes, and it was much redacted that on account of the fact that our hall can only accommodate about 1,000 people, many could not obtain seats. At 7:40 sharp the meeting was called to order, and the chaplain, which lasted about hour, then followed an excellent program. Special mention must be made of the president's address, the singing of the invincible chorus under the leadership of Professor, William, also the organ and violin solos, by Professors Smith and Coulie Mores. These two men convinced, those who heard them that the Narrant stands in the AI class where music is concerned. About $20.00, the singing of m. artistry by the choir, the organ and the instrument, the hall and notwithstanding the singing of the choir, the audience was so animated with his appearance that they arce and cheered him wolverously. The president spoke and animated things, he said. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1921 maintaining the dignity of the Colon Division. Then followed a solo by Mr. Weeks, which was encouraged. The executive secretary next booled, boosting the enterprises to be started at an early date to the benefit of the U. N. I. A.; also to find employment for the unemployed members of the division. A song was then rendered by Mr. Masoney. An address by Mr. Yankwood 2d vice president, and of which the topic of his address was "Teaching Leadership in the Classroom" in his所录集 stern yet polished manner. The last item on the program was an address by Mr. Jennmith, a member of the Honorary Advisory Board. The president then made a few announcements and comments, and he also asked who was prepared to give their undivided support to the U. N. I. A. in putting over its program of a free and redeemed Africa to make themselves known by standing. In an answer to this appeal there was not a person who did not stand.

Brethren of our race, this world we live in has no sympathy. Even our homeland has no sympathy. The beam out of his are years ago and is now seeking the 400,000,000 to take out their beams also. Brethren, we are in a serious time. Mother, fathers and children of the Negro race are now crying out. Why? No finance, no industry—nothing has been prepared for us, although we have been laboring for over 300 years. Therefore, now is your accepted time. Improve your finances, your education. Prepare your commerce. For how can a man see my diary, is it not of my age? How can he make us see your claims to be a co companion of mine?

After debating the matter for about three weeks, John O'Loughlin represented the division at the convention as deputy. After his resignation had been accepted, he was elected chairman of the Hon. Advisory Board and promises to do his best to further the cause. One of his last acts as president was to register the organization in the State of New Jersey. He was also appointed by the State can conduct their business legally.

In the progress of the work of the Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the occasion will be marked by the welcome accorded to him, O. McMally, the delegate from this division to the commission of the U. N. L. A. held in Liberty Hall, New York, during the month of August. On the platform was the president of the division, supported on his right by the president of the Ladies Division, the secretary and the delegate. The opening hymn of the U. N. L. A. was sung—as only members of the U. N. L. A. can sing—after which the president in a few remarks welcomed the delegate and asked him to give his report. The audience, which dived every available room, bowed in cheer as the delegate rose to give his address. He expressed the great pleasure it gave him to be back again in our midst and told that it was only his loyalty and great desire to work for the cause among his fellow countrymen why he was present tonight, as he could have got a very iterative position with the delegates. His detailed account of the work of the convention day by day for the thirty-one days of its sitting, and spoke in eloquent terms of the great enthusiasm shown by the delegates in convention at the success attending the movement. He gave such a descriptive account that his hearers could almost picture themselves at the convention. At the close of his report the delegate voted of thanks and apprehension was moved, seconded and supported for the work of the delegate. At this stage the president read the resignation of Mr. McNealy as second vice-president, which was received with silence. But a moment after, on the president reading a commission from the President General appointing Mr. McNealy to the position of High Commissioner to the United States, there was a deafening ring of applause by the audience. It was felt that it was a fitting honor conferred on the delegate for the able manner in which he represented Jamaica. We predict a new life for the U. N. I. A. work in Jamaica. With such an executive bond we bequeath a grand forward movement towards the desired end of the struggle to grope people of the island for rape improvement. BRUCE A.

Monday evening, September 15th the literary meeting was opened, as usual by the chairman of the evening, Corporal Alexander Fredricks. This was an entertainment given on behalf of the Universal African Legion, Guantanamo. The subject for the evening was "The Pen and the Sword," Captain R. A. Charles, for the pen, supported by Brothers A. Lalanday and John Daniel; for the sword, Chancellor Richard Bacchol, supported by Third Vice-President Emmet Bridges and W. Norman. The meeting included a morning and a crowded hall, securely any landing room, all eager to hear the disclosures on both sides. The chairman then introduced the first speaker, Captain R. A. Charles, who in twenty minutes plumped into the past, present and future happenings to show where through the ages the pen is the master of the sword. By the pen, he said we move the world and one. One is constructive, the other is destructive. He kept the heavens to a serious mood throughout and tapped cheers. A. Leibnizey and J. Daniel, also Sir William Bynn, spins in high crenellation of the pen. The latter brought Biblical facts to show that much has been done with both, but Peter smiles more about in a manner peculiar to his chaplain. Richard Bacchary, who spins in a twenty-two-minute lecture, kept his Bacchary distilled. He emphasized the sword to be a belly instrument and was forcible, but lacked that truth which all students of history know. Away with the pen, and his Cayg, Peter looked with the pen. He was closest to the great cheering. By Richard Bacchary, who spins, and W. Norman, who supported the sword, were dotted in their lustre and were heard to best advantage. Captain David Ramson also spoke in dance of the sword. There were two judges, ex-President Sophia Matthias and J. B. Lightburn, who took the long term in support of the pen. The meeting was one of the best of his life and was at Glazebank; the meeting to the lives of great matriarchs and teachers knew to show that concentration of thought with strong makes pen signification for the building of nations, the civilization, unification of nations, the development of nations, the calling, the development of nations and industrial creation. The chairman then spoke more complimentary remarks after which the national Bacchary, Kilianus, gave some humble thanks to his imminent and valuable standing at all times. of order by Charles A.
