The shepherds and wise men are now wending their way toward Bethlehem, there to behold the Wonder of God. Because there, in a manger, is to be found the Baby Christ who is to be the Redeemer of the world. And so our thoughts go back for more than nineteen hundred years. We hear the shout "Hosanna in the Highest, blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord." With all the preparation the human race has made to welcome into the world the Christ who is to redeem us, we find ourselves still in confusion, still fighting, still exploiting, still merciless in our onslaught one upon the other. But on this Christmas morn may we not all, members and brothers of the great human race, forget our differences, and in one glorious chorus sing out to the world "Peace, perfect peace"? When we come to consider the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God, and that this Child of our own flesh, yet spirit of the Great Creator, has been sent to link us nearer to our common Father, will we not admit of the reason that there should be but very little differences between us? What will we gain fighting the battle of man against man? Absolutely nothing but death; and was not this Child Jesus sent into this world to teach us the new life, the life of Love, of Charity, the life of Mercy? What greater example do we desire than that which He gave in His own life? He suffered, He died that others might be free. Yet even with the great object of the Cross before us, even though He died on Mount Calvary to make us free, even though He overcame death, the grave and hell to demonstrate to us the new life possible to each and every one, we have not yet turned from the path of sin to enter into the glory of His Eternal Kingdom. Instead of planning a career of sin, on this Christmas morn may we not lift our thoughts to that grand and noble Father who gave to us on this day His Royal Son, whom He has made our brother, and to ask Him to bless each and every one of us that our hearts may be touched with the true spirit of the first Christmas morn? That first Christmas day in the stable at Bethlenem was a beacon of a new born hope, for with the birth of the Prince of Peace there came to us an age of spiritual grace, which in its course sought to link man nearer to his God, and coming down the ages for more than nineteen hundred years, we have tried to preach Him as He --- --- appeared to us in His innocence, in His love, and in His charity. He labored for thirty-three years to teach us the way to glory, but in the course of His life, man, his brother, sought the life that he cannot give; he persecuted Him, he derided Him, he jeered Him, and at last he crucified Him. But when that which was physical in the Christ died the spiritual continued, and from earth betook its flight to heaven, there, probably, for all eternity, to look down upon the sinful, wicked world, and to still shower upon us blessings that we really need. We shall never succeed in taking the Spirit of Christ out of the world, because in some of us still there is that spark of love, of charity, of mercy, that links us to our God. But may we not ask the Great Omnipotent, the Great Creator, our Eternal Father, to send once more into the world, and just at this time, and oh how we pray that it be on this Christmas morn, our brother Christ, so that He may calm the raging storm and in truth pour out His benediction upon a corrupt world, a soulless human race, and make of us subjects fit for Eternal Life? As with the angels, let us sing "Hail to the New Born King, the Prince of Peace, Hail to the Son of Righteousness, for with Thee there is life, without Thee there is death." For as Thou died upon Calvary's mount to make us better, to redeem us from our sins, may we not hope for a continuance of that love even for today? and knowing Thee in Thy bountiful love of all mankind, may we not further ask that Thy Spirit lighten up our hearts and bring to us by the touch of Thy grace the knowledge of the Everlasting Brotherhood of Man, and the Eternal Fatherhood of God? As the angels now rejoice in heaven over this new birth, so we rejoice on earth, four hundred millions of us who are members of this Negro race, feeling that Thou art our King, that Thou art our Savior, that Thou shalt be our Emanuel." We love Thee because Thou art the Son of God. We praise and worship and adore Thee because Thou art the Prince of Peace, let others in their sin, in their wickedness, seek after the Infant Life that Thou gavest to all mankind; today we in our simplicity shall find refuge for Thee even in the land of Egypt. Yes, the world of sinful, wicked men cried out "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" but Lord, because Thou art our Master, because Thou art our Prince of Peace, because Thou art our Redeemer, we shall render unto Thee all help possible, even in hearing the Cross up the heights of Calvary, for in life Thee has been our friend; in death we know Thou shall remember us, and now that Thou art sitting at the right hand of God the Father, now that Thou hast conquered death, the grave and hell, surely in Thy mercy Thou shall remember us and so today, even though hundreds of years have rolled by since Thy crucifixion, we know that there is in Thine heart, there is in Thy soul a warm spot for the Sons and Daughters of Africa whose forebears hone the cross for Thee up the heights of Calvary to Thy crucifixion. We sing and shout with the angels; we ring our joy bells; we blow our horns in praise, because Thou art indeed the Jesus, the Christ, the Emanuel to us, the Son of Righteousness, the Prince of Peace. As sons and daughters of Africa, may four hundred millions of us the world over on this Christmas morn pray for the redemption of that Motherland that sheltered our Blessed Redeemer when the wild and wicked men of the world sought His Life; in the same manner wild and wicked men seek the lives of Negroes today, and burn and lynch and kill them, because they have not the strength that makes man mighty; but with the Almighty Power of God and with the guidance and mercy of our Blessed Lord we feel that one day Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand, and whether it be at the second coming or before, we shall all sing our Hosannas, shall shout our praises to God for freedom, for liberty, for life. Christmas Message of the President of the United States to the Negro People of the World CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM SIR HARRY JOHNSTON, ENG- LISH TRAVELER AND AUTHOR Policy Arundel, Sussex, England. While I cannot endorse the statement that there are "four million millions" of Negroes and Negroids in the world—half of which is more likely to be correct, if anthropological accu- sions are shown at—I am most willing to express my sympathy with the treatment of Negroes and Negroids in all parts of Africa, in the United States, Brazil and the United States that their race shall be protected together with the white man in numbers and in the national and cultural development. H. H. JOHNSTON. Your letter of October seventeenth came just at the time when the President was in the model of preparation for his trip to Birmingham and therefore did not receive attention as promptly as we could have desired. As to your request for a special res- pression from him for your Christmas number, I am invited to the very that since the delivery of the Birmingham speech you will be able to find any ma- terial you require, of this kind, in the touch of that address. It is not felt that as this time the President would serve any particular useful purpose by add- ing to or qualifying in any way what he add at Birmingham, and I am sure, on second thought you will agree with this view. I am including a copy of the full touch of the Birmingham speech, which possibly may not yet have come to your attention, in the hope that it may ague you in this conversation. GEORGE B. CHRISTIAN, JR. Secretary to the President Mr. Marcos Garvey, President General Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 12th street, New York City. Address at Birmingham, Oct. 28, 1821 Mr. Mayor, Citizens of Birmingham and People of the South. I have been wondering, as we have seen the Birmingham district and the marvels of this region's industrial development, whether any of us have yet quite understood the significance of the fact that Birmingham has been called "The Magic City." The basic, characteristic industry on which modern civilization rests is iron and steel; and Birmingham is the world's last word in development of the iron and steel industries. We have come here to pay tribute to the marvellous achievement of a brief half century to which this city and its industries stand as a monument. They tentify to us how far the South has progressed in a single generation the generation since slavery was abolished and the rule of free labor and unfettered industrial opportunity became the rule of all of our great Republic. Somewhere my attention has been called to the legend, possibly a historical fact, that when Fernando De Hoto was leading his expedition of exploration and conquest to the Mississippi, some of his metal workers not only discovered the wonderful deposits of coal, limestone and iron ore in this area and told De Hoto that here was an even greater treasure house than that which he was seeking; not an *El Dorado* of precious metals, but the opportunity for making the worlds dominating iron industry. I have been told, I do not know whether it is literally true, that the first reduction of iron in this district was actually accomplished by members of the De Hoto party who supplied certain of the expedition's needs by smelting some of these wonderful ores. But De Hoto was led on by the mirage which filled his vision, and instead of the pot of gold he sought, he found the mighty Mississippi, and in it his grave. The far as concerns more modern development, it appears that General Andrew Jackson also utilised your mineral and metal riches. When he was on his march to New Orleans for the great battle in which the yeomanry of the South won the single notable victory of the War of 1812, his metallurgists discovered that from these easily enriched ones they could supply their requirements of iron, of which they stood in great need. Accordingly, they erected trade furnaces and reduced considerable quantities of iron. From that time on these appear to have been more or less capable and intermittent utilization of iron deposits, and during the Civil War they provided a considerable part of the means of the South. In this connection I have many times visited that there might be a wider application of the energy, resourcefulness and genius for industrial development which the people of the south President's Speech at Birmingham Was a Reply to Request to Write About the Negro in a Christmas Message demonstrated during that war. Essentially an antocratic agricultural region the south suddenly confronted the need to turn out iron and steel and a vast complexity of their products which were absolute) essential to the conduct of the war. Not only did they arise to the invasion but they gave what I have regarded as one of the greatest demonstrations in all history of the possibilities of adaptation organization and industrial development under stress of great necessity. We will do well to recognize that the industrial achievement of the South during the civil War was one of the marvels resulting from that unhappy conflict. It marked the beginning of that diversification of industry which has made the South of today an industrial as well as an agricultural empire. I have often wished that some impure son of the South might one day devote the time and effort necessary to record the history of that Abaddin like industrial wonder which was a large part of the story of the South in the civil contest. It is one of the phases of American history that has had too little understanding attention. When we have studied the Civil War we have been so engrossed with military and political aspects that we have slighted the industrial and economic phases. I am going to venture therefore the suggestion that a comprehensive study of that aspect of the war period would be of inestimable value to the South and to the great story of our national progress. Not only would it constitute an eloquent testimony to the genius and devotion of our southern people but it would present a picture of opening opportunity and widening horizon whose contemplation would challenge every remaining vestige of prejudice and sectional antagonism. It has been a truliam that the War between the States started the Nation as a whole in its way of colonial industrial growth. But I have wished that the particular story of that war time experience in the South might be better known. I have been told of the almost overnight development of munition factories out of smithers, of the expansion of railroad repair shops into locomotive works; how shipyards, ordnance plants, powder factories were compused up and put at work almost in the twinkling of an eye; of improvised industrial processes and mechanical contrivances, not a few of which have been of permanent value, some of them fairly revolutionary. We will, I am sure, be forgiven if, as Americans, we remind ourselves that wooden navies had fought each other for thousands of years until Americana fell to fighting among themselves. Then came iron fighting craft—came so quickly and unanimously that both sides had their first armored warships ready at the same moment, so well matched that they fought a draw. It was a revolution, yet it was only one incident in this matching of American genius and resourcefulness in titanic struggle. The railway and the telegraph were first bidden to the service of war on a great scale during our civil contest. The huge ordnance which both North and South created and used was as sensational in that day as the most startling creations of the World War were more than a generation later. In both South and North our people learned and demonstrated what it means to mobilize all the human, industrial, financial, scientific resources of a great community for the purposes of war. That, indeed, was the most characteristic and most revolutionary development of the struggle. When we had done with our war we had well-nigh made over the whole art of war. The old things were gone forever. By land or by sea both its material and its methods were sweepingly changed. Glory and glamour had been taken out of it and in their place had been put the grim, hard reality of whole peoples measuring against each other their last ounce of power and resources. In that context of industry and resources the South started with a fearful handicap; a handicap so great that THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 PRESIDENT HARDING A FRIEND OF THE NEGRO RACE its accomplishments constituted one of the industrial wonders of all time. It is to this wonder that I have wanted to call attention today for I have felt that it has never been applauded as it ought to be. From that contest the North emerged not only with the foundation of industrial greatness securely laid but freed from the incursions of a later system that had from all times chaired it in the status of an almost purely agricultural community. The industrial and commercial development of state and peoples has always been strikingly influenced by their wars perhaps even more than their social and political development. That older war founded industry in the South under stress of sternest necessity, and so we may recognize in your Birmingham district and its industrial splendor one of the fine products of the industrial revolution which was forced upon the whole South. We are gathered today to celebrate the semicentennial of the founding of Birmingham. That this wonder could be wrought in so brief a time tells us how fast our modern world moves so fast that we are wont to forget our yesterdays before our todays are fairly begun, so absorbing in its concerns of the present that too often we have neither time nor interest for the morrow. Yet there never was a time when we needed so much to study our past and, in the light of its lessons, give earnest thought to the tomorrow. No I have thought that here in your Magic City, where they seem a very compress of yesterday, today and tomorrow, it may be proper to suggest a few thoughts regarding the critical times which are faced by our country and all countries and some of the issues which command our consideration. Exhausted and affrighted by the horrors of the World War, the nations are seeking means to prevent repetition of such an experience. They see the need for effective reform in international relationships and, along with this, for many alterations and adaptations of domestic institutions which will better fit them for the new time. Our own country, though its necessities are less onerous, its difficulties not so grievous as those of many others, has yet occasion to consider wherein it may better its methods, adjust itself to the new relationships, and equip itself for the new sort of struggle that lies ahead. Concerning one phase of this national problem, I want to say a few words. If the Civil War marked the beginnings of industrialism in a South which had previously been almost entirely agricultural, the World War brought us to full recognition that the race problem is national rather than merely sectional. There are no authentic statistics, but it is common knowledge that the World War was marked by a great migration of colored people to the North and West. They were attracted by the demand for labor and the higher wages offered. The slow movement had been in progress for decades before, but it was vastly accelerated because of the war and has continued at only a slackened pace since. It has brought the question of race closer to North and West, and I believe it has served to modify somewhat the views of those sections on this question. It has made the South realize its industrial dependence on the labor of the black man and made the North realize the difficulties of the community in which two greatly differing races are brought to live side by side. I should say that it has been responsible for a larger charity on both sides, a beginning of better understanding, and in the light of that better understanding perhaps we shall be able to consider this problem together as a problem of all sections and of both races, in whose solution the best intelligence of both must be emilied. Indeed, we will be wise to recognise it as wider yet. Whoever will take the time to read and ponder Mr Lothrop Stoddard's book on "The Rising Tide of Color," or say, the thoughtful review of some recent literature of this question which Mr F D. Lugard presented in a recent "Edinburg Review," must realize that our race problem here in the United States is only a phase of a race issue that the whole world confronts. Surely we shall gain nothing by blinking the facts, by refusing to give thought to them. That is not the American way of approaching such issues. In another way the World War modified the elements of this problem. Thousands of black men, serving their country just as patriotically as did the white men, were transported overseas and experienced the life of countries where their color around less of antagonism than it does here. Many of them aspire to go to Europe to live. we shall find an adjustment of relations between the two races in which both can enjoy full citizenship the full measure of usefulness to the country and of opportunity. After them we are in which recognition and toward shall at last be distributed in proportion to India's desire a regard of race or color. Mr. Ligard in his essay after surveying the world a problem of race concludes thus: Here then is the true conception of the interrelation of color and compete uniformity in ideals, absolute equality in the paths of knowledge and culture equal opportunity for those who strive equal admiration for those who achieve in matters social and racial a separate path, each pursuing his own inherited traditions, preserving his own race purity and race pride equality in things spiritual, agreed divergence in the physical and material Here it has formed to me is suggestion of the true way out. Politically and economically there need be occasion for great and permanent differentiation for limitations of the individual opportunity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in things social and racial. When I suggest the possibility of economic equality between the races, I mean it in precisely the same way and to the same extent that I would mean it if I spoke of equality of economic opportunity as between members of the same race. In each case I would mean equality proportioned to the highest capacities and deserts of the individual. Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. Indeed, it would be helpful to have that word "equality" eliminated from this consideration, to have it accepted on both sides that this is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we develop an attitude in the public and community thought of both races which recognize this difference. Colonizing countries everywhere have in recent times been more and more dealing with the problem from this point of view. The British commonwealth of nations and races confront it, and has been seeking its solution along the lines here suggested. There is possibility of our learning something applicable to our own country from the British. It is true that there is a great difference between bringing into our own land the colonists of another race and going out to another land and subjecting it and its people to the rule of an alien race. Yet the two cases have so many elements of similarity that it seems to me the experience of each must furnish some light upon the other. Take first the political aspect I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote, prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Especially would I appeal to the self respect of the coined race I would inculcate in it the wish to improve itself as a distinct race with a heredity, a set of traditions an array of aspirations all its own. Out of such racial ambitions and pride will come natural segregations, without narrowing any rights such as are proceeding in both rural and urban communities now in Southern States, satisfying natural inclinations and adding notably to happiness and contentment On the other hand I would instat upon equal educational opportunity for both. This does not mean that both would become equally educated within a generation or two generations or ten generations. Even men of the same race do not accomplish such an equality as that. They never will. The Providence that endowed men with widely unequal capacities and capabilities and energies did not intend any such thing. But there must be such education among the colored people as will enable them to develop their own leaders, capable of understanding and sympathising with such a differentiation between the races as I have suggested—leaders who will inspire the race with proper ideals of race pride of national pride, of an honorable destiny, an important participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole. Racial amalgamation there can not be. Partnership of the races in developing the highest aims of all humanity there must be if humanity, not only here but everywhere, is to achieve the ends which we have set for it. I can say to you people of the South, both white and black, that the time has passed when you are entitled to assume that this problem of races is peculiarly and particularly your problem. More and more it is becoming a problem of the North; more and more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific, of the South Sea, of the world. It is the problem of democracy everywhere, if we mean the things we say about democracy as the ideal political state. Coming as Americans do from many origins of race, tradition, language, color, institutions, heredity; engaged as we are in the huge effort to work on honorable national destiny from as many different elements; the one thing REPLY FROM ENGLISH KING TO REQUEST FOR CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO NEGRO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD BUCKINGHAM PALACE The Private Secretary is commanded to acknowledge the receipt of Mr. Marcus Garvey's letter of the 18th instant, but, in reply, regrets that it would not be possible, consistently with rule, to give effect to his wish. 31st October, 1921. we must sedulously avoid is the development of group and class organizations in this country. There has been time when we heard too much about the labor vote the business vote, the Irish vote, the Scandinavian vote the Italian vote and so on. But the demagogue who would array class against critics and group against group have ultimately found little to reward their efforts. That is because, despite the demagogue, the idea of our onesess an American has risen superior to every appeal to mere class and group. And so I would wish it might be in this matter of our national problem of races. I would accept that a black man cannot be a white man, and that he does not need and should not aspire to be as much like a white man as possible in order to accomplish the best that is possible for him. He should seek to be, and he should be encouraged to be the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of a white man. It is a matter of the keenest national concern that the South shall not be encouraged to make its colored population a vast reservoir of ignorance, to be dained away by the processes of migration into all other sections. That is what has been going on in recent years at a rate so accentuated that it has caused this question of races to be as I have already said, no longer one of a particular section. Just as I do not wish the South to be politically entirely of one party, just as I believe that is bad for the South, and for the rest of the country as well so I do not want the colored people to be entirely of one party. I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic South and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. Neither political sectionalism nor any system of rigid groupings of the people will in the long run prosper our country. I want to see the time come when black men will regard themselves as full participant in the benefits and duties of African citizenship, when they will vote for Democratic candidates if they prefer the Democratic policy on tariff or taxation, or foreign relations, or what-not, and when they will vote the Republican ticket only for like reasons. We cannot go on, as we have gone for more than a half century, with one great section of our population, numbering as many people as the entire population of some significant countries of Europe, set off from real contribution to solving our national issues because of a division of race lines. With such convictions one must urge the people of the South to take advantage of their superior understanding of the problem and to assume an attitude toward it that will deserve the confidence of the colored people. Likewise, I plead with my own political party to lay aside every program that looks to lining up the black man as a mere political adjunct. Let there be a, end of prejudice and of demagogy in this line. Let the South understand the menace which lies in forcing upon the black race an attitude of political solidarity. The greater hope, the dissipation of hatred, the discouragement of dangerous passions lie in persuading the black people to forget old prejudices and to have them believe that, under the rule of whatever political party, they would be treated just as other people are treated, guaranteed all the rights that people of other colors enjoy, and made, in short, to regard themselves as citizens of a country and not of a particular race. Every consideration, it seems to me, brings us back at last to the question of education. When I speak of education as a part of this race question, I do not want the States or the Nation to attempt to educate people whether white or black, into something they are not fitted to be. I have no sympathy with the half-baked altruism that would overstock us with doctors and lawyers, of whatever color and leave us in need of people fit and willing to do the manual work of a workaday world! But I would like to see an education that would fit every man not only to do his part that work as well as possible but to rise to a higher plane if he would deserve it. For that sort of education I have no fears, whether it be given to a black man or a white man. From that sort of education, I believe, black men white men, the whole Nation would draw immeasurable benefit. It is pr hable that as a nation we have come to the end of the period of very apid in reas on our population. Recent legislation to restrict immigration will be in part respon sion for a slacking ratio of increase. The new immigrants have multiplied in numbers much the more rapidly, but as the immigrants become Americanized amalgamated into the citizenry the tendency has been toward less rapid multiplication. No restricted immigration will reduce the rate of increase and force us back upon our older population to find people to do the simpler physically harder, manual tasks. This will require some difficult adjustments. It has been easy indeed, but it has not been good for the people of our older stock, that a constant inflow in immigration made it possible to crowd off these less attractive and profitable tasks upon the newcomers. I don't think it has been good for what the old Latines called the national virtue. That is a word I have always liked employed in the Roman sense. I wish we might have adopted it into our vocabulary, in this sense. It strikes me as a good deal better than 'imorale'. Anyhow We are under necessity to raise humility, hard, manual work to a new dignity if we are to get it done. We will have to make its compensations more generously materially, and, if I may say it, spiritually, to make usefulness of a vice rather than spoiltness of hands, the test of whatever social recognition depends on the individual occupation. I confess a large disgust with all such classifications, and I earnestly bespoke an attitude toward good, honorable hard work that will end them. I do not want to cuddle and patronize humor. I want us all to get out put on blue dins, roll up our gloves, let our hand be honorably soiled, and do the work. That's what we've got to do if we are to get on. We must do it and be good we can, for there is small chance that we will ever again have such armies of laborers handling on these shores we have come in the past. In anticipation of such a condition the South may well recognize that North and West are likely to continue their drafts upon its colored population and that if the South wishes to keep its fields producing and its industry still expanding it will have to compete for the services of the colored man. If it will realize its need for him and deal quite fairly with him, the South will be able to keep him in such numbers as your activities make desirable. At any rate, here is a problem and it is pressing for settlement. In it not possible, then, that in the long era of readjustment upon which we are entering for the nation to lay aside old prejudices and old antigonisms and in the broad clear light of nationalism enter upon a constructive policy in dealing with these intrinsic issues. Just as we shall prove ourselves capable of doing this we shall insure the industrial progress the agricultural security, the social and political safety of our whole country regardless of race or sections and along the line of ideals superior to every consideration of groups or class, of race or color or section or prejudice. Here are the reflexes of magical industrial development, here are the fruits in the making of a nation and its commitment to free productivity. and trade. There is a materialism which sometimes seems sordid, but on the material foundation we have expanded in soul and we have seen this Republic the example to freedom aspiring throughout the world. We wish to teach to all that is good. We want to preserve the inheritance over which we fought because our conflict made it more precious. But we wish to go on as well as preserve. The match of a great people is not a blind one. We cannot be unmindful of human advancement. We wish to be more than space with progress—we wish our America loading and choosing safe paths. Fifty years is a narrow span. Yet the marvel of Birmingham is less than the marvel of our astounding America. And we ought to go on if we are just and honest in administering justice if we are alive to peril and most them in conscience and courage the achievement of your first half century will be magnified tonfold in the second half, and the glory of your city and your country will be reflected in the happiness so of a great people, greater than we dream, and grander for understanding and the courage to be right. MILITARY NEGRO HISTORY The Sacrificed Incident Question What was the Carrizal incident?

The Negro troopers fought on until only one of their own officers was left alive and he badly wounded. Seventeen of their number were killed and 23 made prisoners. Finally Lieutenant Adolfo the remaining white officer, fell and dying, told Peter Bigstaff, a colored soldier fighting by his side, to flee.

PUBLIONED 1M LMLUSTRATION, PARG, FRANCE Translated from the French by Norval P, Borkode's of the University of Kansas A White Frenchman Among Negrees in New York TEXT OF TELEGRAM SENT TO-CONFERENCE-ON LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS, NOV. 11, BY PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA November 11, 1921. “President and Members of the International Conference en Disarmament, care of Secretary of Conference, Pan- American Building, Washington. “Honorable Gentlemen—I salute you in the name of Democracy and for the cause of Justice on behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Your Honorable Conference now sitting in Washington has a purpose that has been announced and advertised to the world for several months. You were called together by the President of the Democratic Republic of the United States of America to dis- cuss the problem of armaments, the settlement of which you believe will ensure the perpetual peace of the world. As the elected spokesman of the Negro peoples of the world, who desire freedom—politically, industrially, educationally, socially and religiously, as well as a full enjoyment of world democracy and a national independence all our own on the Continent of Africa, it is for me to inform you of a little slight that has been shown to four hundred milliun Negroes who form a part of this world’s population. At the Ver- sgiiles Peace Conference the statesmen who gathered there made the awful mistake of legislating for the disposition of other people's lands (especially in Afnea) withow taking them into consideration, believing that a world peace could have been established after such a conference.

HIS EXCELLENCY, THE GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA, B. W. L, SENDS INFORMAL CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Competition Editor, Magry World, 10 West 11th Street, New York City, N Y My dear Sir—In compliance with your request, I have gone over the papers submitted to me in the competition for first, second, and third prizes for the essay competition portraying "Africa Redemption." Among the many papers submitted, I have picked out two (8) so being meritious. The others are lacking in library style and proper construction. The authors ought to be more careful in their writing, especially knowing that awards for prizes can only be given on the general merit of the papers submitted. I am unable to make an award for the third prize, because none of the papers submitted merite the place. It is, with great pleasure, therefore that I accord the first prize to paper number six (6), entitled "A Senator's Memoir." The second prize goes to paper number four (4) I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVE- MENT ASSOCIATION, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General By ERIC D. WALROND First Prize As I turn back to the period of adolescence in the history of the darker races; as I behold the strong men of the earth flying at each other's throats over the spoils of a wretched war; as I gaze upon the spectacle of nations born and bred in the cradle of chivalry sinning their claws into the treasure-chests of bedridden Africa, as I observe white men banking—laying out actual cash—on the perpetual insults of the black race—God, how the memory of the oppresses met—as I imagine a pageant of the crimes and blasphemies perpetrated against us for ages and ages—I shudder at the thought of the fate and future of a "backward" race. Thanks to Johovah, I am a free man—free to traverse the surface of the earth—free to stop and dine at any beauty I wish—free! As I sit here and dash off these notes I cannot but think it all a massive dream. Twenty years ago, as a stranded emigrant on the shores of Egypt, if I had been told that I'd be out here, on my own estate, drinking of the transient beauty of the Congo, a master of my people, to be honored and respected, I'd have discounted it as an overworking of the imagination. My castle, set in the heart of a once savage wilderness, is of Dutch architecture. The other day Reginald McKay, African Minister to China, told me it struck him as a sort of "positive painting a rugged finger to heaven." In it, if you wish, you may still • multitude of objects of art on the fascinating theory of the evolution of the darker races. Paintings of black immortal, landscape etchings, Arabian rams, Kaffir antiques—a conglomeration of antique gifts—a conglomeration. Before I take you riding over my vast estate (wife n't a nation of landed barons mind you) I want to relate a little story to you. One day last spring, at the centenary of Sanite Sabalala, a delegation of artists and posts visited me, and Mila Jean Devililla, Haytı's beautiful lyricist, bombarded me with questions as to whether I had "inharited" my property "I see you're not up on your African history." I reproached her. "If you'd read the Redemption Proclamation—"Ah, pardonnes moi, Meisaiur," she hastened to interrupt me. "A thousand pardons. I remember—I remember. In the revolt you were the one who led the native troops, until the overseas legions—" After all, the best view is from the tower of my castle. Oh, yes, there are leagues and leagues of macadam roads leading to all parts of the republic, and built by us, too—But I love to look at it from here, to feast on the panorama of green and sunshine and fruit-swelling trees. It is a glorious sight. A grasing herd of buxom beifers; a valley of trees burdened with ripening fruit—pomegranates, star apples, mangoes—and, yonder, enshrouded in a veil of mist—Victoria Falls! This alone is worthy of a pilgrimage. A lake of silver darting through a meadow of palms—and, far out, as far as the eye can see, the peons of Africa—God bless them'—basking it. The sunlight of Democracy Enthroned. A close-up of them reveals a nation of toilers erect in stature, muscular in limb, practical in philosophy, and led and supervised by their own kind. The overseer in the cork hat is not a sunburnt Englishman, or an arrogant Boer, or an imperious Belgian—but a sympathetic black man! Ah, as I give way to retrospection, to think that after all these years of oppression—to think that a "tiring incident" as the outraging of a dark-shinned maden on the streets of Harlem would lead to such a turbulent conflagration. Then, as if the hand of Providence was back of it all, a self-willed statesman at the London Conference, in a moment of fury, boxed the ears of the Nipponese prince. For a moment the fate of civilization rested in the palm of a yellow man's hand. But Tokugawa, as cool as a cumber, packed his grip, and quietly sent for the Orient. Three months later, as the shadows of darkness fell and a million mud-fires sparkled on the banks of the Island Empire, three men—a Japanese, an East Indian and a Maroon descendant—knelt, and plotted the doom of the white world. Bewitching is the morning. If I had my way I'd forget all about the doctor's restrictions and ride out to Bulawaya. But I'm tired; I am getting down, I know, so why hasten the pace? This morning I was a trifle upset at a noise I heard coming out of the bowels of a renegade kraal. A number of times I heard the weird cry of "izani, izani!" Then, as I took my binoculars and scanned the soothing valid, I beheld a sight that recalled all the horrors of cannibal carnivals. At once I thought of the theory of the return of the savage instincts. Was there any truth in it? "Master, master," cried my valet. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 "A SENATOR'S MEMOIRS." BY ERIC D. WALROND rushing to me "there another out break—the ferocious Ashanti—" "Yeah, sir. I was down to the stables this morning and up to 10 o'clock not a native had reported for work. The butler, he told me there going to be a kind of deer feast today" — "Dear feast don't take place in the morning lamps, crows "Maybe, air, but if you'd come down you'll see what I am saying is true." Curious, I decided to pay the penalty of disobeying the doctor, and slipped into a riding suit and walked down the little lane that led to the court yard. Rayside was ready to mount, and, assisted by James, I crawled into the saddle. My first thought was to ride out to the kraal and investigate the crises I had heard. To my amazement, just as I stepped out on the blinding macadam road I saw an army of natives marching past me dancing and singing as if they were seized by a spirit of maddened frenss. I was stunned. Yes, I've seen several meat feasts and tribe festivals, but, God, nothing to compare with the utter barbarity of the wriggling foik before me. A babel of tongues clocked the alr. Music of the wildest sort drum-beatings, cat-callings—all ending with a common refrain. What was it? A word unknown to me fell from their lips as the dancers, beads of perpiration rolling down their bronze, half-naked bodies, swept by me. Instinctively I followed them. God, for the power to reproduce those soul-reading sounds' Down the road they writhed past the yawning depths of mineral canyons, past the railway tracks, past the golden lakes of fire, and, as a cloud of brimstone warned us of the coming of the African simoon, the army of revivalists turned down a slippery path and, a moment later, was on the thoroughfare leading to the Capitol. As the crowd awerved into it, a sort of fiery bottom, I saw about fifty different tribes—stark enemies in the days of the primeval—drawing together and uniting in a universal song. This time I saw, by their robes and headresses, the insignia of Bantus, Hottontura, Moora, Zulua, Kaffira, Basuto—all the pioneers of Ethiopian culture—congregated in that little spot. For what? Dumb as I was, I could discern an indescribable something—in the way the chiefs lifted their noble heads and, in war-like fashion, led the multitude. Flashes of Lobengula and Chief Chaka and Panda flitted across my brain. Stupified, I dropped the reins, and the beast, as if sensitive to the call of the blood, followed in dutiful precision. Liberty Square. This is a place that always brings me back to the age of froedown. There is a spirit of love and equality and righteousness about it that thrills me. It is a huge park a bandstand or speakers' gallery in the center, and for three miles I saw nothing but my rish brown-faced people. From the banks of the Zambesi, from across the Nile, from South Africa, Liberia, Hayti, America—they stood, a tree and redeemed people! As Senator from the Congo, I was escorted to the gallery.

A chorus of cheers deafens us as a little man, in a white tunic, stepped forward on the principal speakers roosting. A life packed with drama: climaxes, a man whose mental fiber ripens with the avalanche of time—there he stood—grim in the sunlight — there — half him, boys— Garvey* "Citizens of Africa Redeemed, I come once more before you to give an account of ten years of my administration as President of the Republic of Africa. First I wish it to be known that despite what the political economists had to say about us as a race of shiftless parasites, we've been able to organize and operate successfully a chain of national banks throughout the continent of Africa. Also, as far as I can gather from the Minister of Commerce, the exports of Africa to foreign countrys for the ten years of native rule amount to $500,000,000 incidentally the merchandise in question which consisted of balata, cocon gold, diamonds, sheep skins, steel coal, etc. was shot to all parts of the globe in the ships of the Black Star Line. "The promulgation of the Civil Service act and the organization of a modern system of public education throughout the land, I believe, will tend to eliminate corruption, inefficiency and graft in the governmental departments. At present, in spite of all that is being said in the enemy press, the rights of African citizens abroad are being safeguarded by a competent diplomatic corps. Only a few days ago the government of Australia was forced to abrogate its infamous exclusion laws as a result of action brought by our ambassador at Sydney. "As regards the matter of land armament the Republic of Africa voted at an extraordinary session of the cabinet on February 6 to appropriate £10,000,000 yearly for the maintenance of a standing army of 1,000,000 men. This is independent of naval construction, as Liberia, as you all know, is virtually a shipbuilding base, and the construction of battle cruisers is proceeding at a phenomenal rate." Tears trickled down my inflamed cheeks as I forced my way out of the intense multitude. If the god of Hosts had come down on earth the transfiguration could not have been more complete. The Bishop of West Africa then leaped to the platform and, as one man, the mighty arena of freemen sank down on their knees and sang hoannahs to Him. By EDWARD BOURNE Second Prize In the spring of nineteen hundred and nineteen, I heard of one Marcus Garvey, who was teaching a doctrine in Harlem of "Africa for the Africans." This idea consisted of the unification of Negroes everywhere into one homogeneous family, socially, industrially, commercially and politically. The instrument through which this task is to be accomplished was called the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Later I came across The Negro World and, to e.y. delight, saw, for the first time, the aims, aspirations and objects of the association from the pen of Marcus Garvey. From the start I was captivated by his eloquence and racial purity. I continued reading The Negro World until my soul was absorbed in Garveyism. One day while musing over the possibilities of Garveyism, I was carried in spirit to a great mountain called "Mount Civilization." This mountain seemed to stretch across the Continenta. To reach its summit one had to ascend a steep incline called "The Road of Self-Denial." on which road were many difficulties and hardships; and only those who are determined to endure will reach its summit. Looking upward I saw a star—it was black and had four points. I was told that it denoted the new spirit that had come upon the Negro race the world over, forcing them to reclimb "Mount Civilization." It being the night time of ignorance and superstition for the Negro, the star indicated the birth of a new day of culture for them. Later I saw the sun peeping over the continent of Africa, from above "Mount Civilization," and on its disk was a black spot. This sight so astonished me that I looked down and saw the viage of an Ethiopian, marked out on the northwestern boundary of Africa, peculiar as it was, the result of greed and avarice of alien races. I became enthused and shouted, "Africa for Africans!" REPLY OF HIS EXCELLENCY, THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE, TO REQUEST FOR CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO NEGRO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD Par lettre du 18 Octobre dernier, vous avez demandé au Président de la République de vouloir bien vous faire parvenir un message destiné à être publié par la journal "The Negro World," à l'occasion des fêtes de Noël.

Monsieur le Président Général, l'assurance de ma considération la plus distinguee. Monsieur Marcus Garvey, Président Général of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. By your letter dated October 18th you requested the President of the Republic to be kind enough to send you a Christmas message for publication in The Negro World. millions of my people would return to Africa and assist in bringing about its redemption. He called my attention to a group of people who had started to ascend "Mount Civilization." They are Garveyites, he said, who saw the star of African redemption, and have started out to make it a reality. "Can they make it?" I asked. Just then I heard a voice shouting, "We will make it or die in the attempt, for Africa shall be redeemed." See yonder Marcus Garvey loading his people to liberty and nationalization. Follow him," said the bishop. Buddely a woman full of zeal for Negro uplift, approached the leader and awore allegiance to the cause of African Redemption. This woman was called the Lady of the Nile. Other noble men and women fell in line with the leader, and large numbers were added to the cause until it became universal in scope. The sun shone forth in splendor over the group of people that were ascending the mountain, causing them to show signs of race cooperation and manhood efficiency. The leader called a convention to develop a program for the redemption of Africa and the uplift of the race in general. The convention lasted for one month, at the end of which the leader said, "Today Africa manclips itself and shall be free." The assemblage burst forth with one tremendous shout which seemed to shake the heavens, and with one voice they cried. "Long live Marcus Garvey, for Africa shall be redeemed!" From that time on Negroes everywhere began to realize that their racial salvation lay in the ideals of Garveyism, and not the old doctrine of aping the white race, depending on them for leaders and deliverance from serfdom and peonage. I saw Negroes everywhere learning to be proud of their skins, esteeming and honoring each other, men became proud and affectionate of their women, they began to select their own leaders and to esteem them. Business relations were carried on universally. Negroes journeyed from continent to continent in the interest of commerce. Princes were coming out of Egypt, and Ethiopia was stretching forth her hand unto God. (Princes out of Egypt, signifying Eznaited ones from obscurity) and stretching forth her hand unto God (the hand a symbol of strength) stretched forth to implied organization for the righteousness of their cause. Negroes became restless everywhere, diplomats and statesmen were making representations at the National Courts in their behalf; schools and universities were built; factories and railroads established; steamships plying the oceans; Liberia was blooming and prosperous; Egypt arose from its obscurity.

MATTHEWS You have over six million Negroes on your hands. You have given them the ballot and, perhaps, you were wise in so doing. By the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution they have become citizens of the United States. Now, these people were originally taken from the nomadic and shepherd stages of exile, and have been lifted by the force of circumstances and the dictates of strange policies into the indentine class. You have lifted them above their powers, you cannot educate them over the classes they have leaped. You send some of them to Lincoln, Harper's Ferry and other educational institutions; they learn a good deal and then, being only capable of learning and not of origi- critized, other local groups were rubbing their eyes and preparing for the Ethiopic age, when suddenly I heard a peculiar noise. Looking around I saw men and women dancing and shouting in an unknown tongue, the African chiefs had called a convention, for the big chief had arrived. Suddenly there arose a great shout. The convention was successful. The chiefs went one by one to an altar, on which was a sword. Each in turn taking the sword pierced his arm and with his blood wrote his name to the declaration of Negro Independence and the freedom of Africa. Bugles began to sound, armies rushed here and there, thousands of black women, ready to nurse and succor the wounded, came marching to the scene.

But how can this matter be settled? By putting them through the same system of race education that we have ourselves experienced. The salvation of the Negro must be looked forward to with a view to the land and the sense of responsibility it entails. You have had that training and certainly the Negro cannot be considered the superior of our race. I believe in everything you have done for the Negro, let him keep his ballot, but remember, there are classes in the school of nations which he has attended, and that fact must govern your action in his case. Even Christianity does not do away with the necessity of these classes, it shortens the stages, how ever, and makes them easier to teaches a man's spiritual nature and gives him dignity. Thus you see that the race has moved through darkness up to God, and that everything about man is calculated to remind him of his double nature, and the source from which he came. He has faculties and qualities which cannot find their real use and perfection here, and the older he grows like some traveller who ascends a high hill, he sees more and more the scope of his poors, until he knows that only eternity can crown his development. Toward eternity he moves with every heat of the heart. His knows that there he will know and be known, that as he lives here, his lot will be one of bliss or woe and the true man seeks anxiously to learn all that which will help him on the Negro problem.

MARCUS GARVEY, PROPHET ‘doots of the white man~ Marcus Garvey is » powerful visionary, as are af prophets, and hin version of historical eventa are not ‘without flavor. You can Judgo for your- eclf—according to him, the Egyptians, the Greuke and the Phooniciane tor- rowed thoir civilization from the blacks “It ts now proved.” he rnid. “that Josus Christ was @ Nogre. Aftor tho war of secossion the Negross wore brought up in the belief that they Were to remain inferior to the whites— ip spite of the hypocritical protesta- tiona of the European nations, the ‘Negro shall always be the “bambouls” tm the eyes of the white man; that \s to aay, the dradge, the victim. the beast of burden which 1s exploited without mercy, the plague-stricken one who tn relegated to special cars and who !n- habits the unhealtbful section of tho civilized cities, Tt was the black clergy that uttered the greatest resistance to Garvey‘s idoas. And the thing ts not surprising when one considers the prophets opin- fons regarding Christianity. According to him the Christianity of the white man is not fit for the Negro because one would have to be more fooliah than the Negro ts in or to beliove in a white God, ip a «alte Messiah, in white angels, in a white paradise! Gar vey’s thecry ts to offer the Negrocs a black religion, with s creator modeled in their tmage—that Is, a black God He also takes the field against the white micstonaries who were nover other than “the enilssaries of slave- holdere and polsonera of the black race” As one might tmagine, these ideas are not to the taste of the Nogro imin- isters who sea in Garveyism a torriblo competitor of Christianity, the more so because the new prophet today counts soreral suillons among his followers. ‘Nevertheless, Garvey’s apostieship continued. He once was under the sur- vaillance of Federal agents, who ware unesay beontise of his preachinge; but these anodyne persecutions gave him the halo of the martn and won him rpore adherents. It was then that he evoceeted in lannthing the Diack Star Line, with « capital of $10,000,000, sub- ectibed entirely ty Negroes. One day a Negro fanatic forced his way tnto his room and sent four balls from « re- volver into bie body. Although serl~ custy tnfured, tha prophet appeared that evening, before the audience of a qlitica! meeting and was acclaimed as @ Gami-god. His program was now eanctifed ty his blood The Negroes of the United States became enthusies- tio over his future African empire and| over bis plan for = constitution of Negro Ubertica. .

I will say a tow words touching on the new Irish Free State For 700 years tho Irish race has been waging a relentless campaign for the purpone of freeing (heir coun- ‘try from the domination of an allen ‘race. The time acoms long—T00 years. But very fow races would have stuck to one program—to one cause for auch & lengthened period of time Nover- Uheloas the Irinh atuck, and for 700 yeurm they fought. Hundreds and ‘thousands of Irishmen have died as martyra to the cause of Irish freedom. ‘Coming down the centuries we have had Irish patriote as Robert Emmett, (O'Connell, Roger Casement and Mo- Sweeney At a certain time tho world laughed at them, the world mocked thom, the world jeered them for their raure nevertheless they continued thelr agitation until within recent years they forced the world's recogni- ton.

Don't use much attention to what the individual of the mass of the people says at any time but listen rather to what the leaders of the people say because the leaders can change the mood of the masses of the people over night. The masses of the people can be friendly to you because they are innocent of what is happening, but you must judge and weigh the expression of the words and the action of those who said the people. Wells is a leader of English opinion, he is a distributor of English thought and the leaders of the Negro race must pay keen attention to what Wells says on this question. Wells Reveals English Attitude New Statesmanship of the Negro New Statesmanship of the Negro Wells pays no regard to the Negro race because he does not take us seriously, like many a writer, like many a statesman of the present day still believing that Negroes are infants and children. They come in contact with the Negro who comes that in hand" to beg a dime or a dollar to lay the corner stone of a church they come in contact with the Negro who begs for money to start some newspaper to carry out a friendly policy. They don't come in contact with the new statesmanship of the Negro because that statesmanship is an independent one. That statesmanship does not beg. That statesmanship makes a demand, and falling to give and to yield when the demand is made, you stand the consequences. That is the new statesmanship of the Negro race, and it is confined to no one country, it is universal. It has come upon us through the bloody war of 1914-1915, it has come upon us through the readjustment of human affairs, it has come upon us through the readjustment of political boundaries, and in this readjustment of political boundaries we say: "Let Ireland be free, let Egypt be free; let India be free, let Palestine be free, and above all, let Africa be free, from coast to coast" (Great Applause.) ```markdown ``` Negro's Bympathy for Other Oppressed Repolls Our sympathy at this time goes out to the 4,000,000 Irish men, women and children of Ireland; to the 380,000,000 people of India; to the 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 men, women and children of Egypt; and since charity begins at home, since love begins at home, our sympathy goes out to the 400,000,000 men, women and children of our race throughout the universe. We say that for one thing, and if need be, we shall die for one thing—the freedom of our common motherland. Africa, irrespective of what Wells, Bailey, Bryant, Kato, Hughes, or any of the statesmen now meeting in Washington may think on the matter. We welcome peace; we ardently hope for peace, and I do hope peace will come to the world before Christmas (laughter); but peace for Negroes can only be accepted when they have deals fairly with all peoples; and let it be understood that this means that we demand for ourselves a place in this world. Heartlessness of Others How heartless, how inhuman, how wicked, how sinful, that man of such intelligence should sit down and plan the destruction of other people! It amounts to nothing less. When Wella, a great master mind, writes that Africa is for something more important than to have within her borders the native Africana, he well knows he is simply telling the English people that they should go there and rob the people and exterminate them and ultimately take away their country. Wella knows that Africa legally and morally, and in every way, justly belongs to the black man. Then why should he, with all his intellect and his intelligence, be inspiring his countryman and men of his race to be unfair with other people a territory? If we have no right in America, as they do say, if we have no right in Asia, as they do say, where, then, do we have a right to exist but in Africa? And if Africa is your last resort, and Wells is advising his people— ASTHMA CURED BY SIMPLE REMEDY Tennessee Drought Discover Simple Remedy For Asthma and Nike Generous FREE TEXAL Offer to Readers Thirty years ago Mr. C.

If it cures pay $1.25, otherwise you own nothing. Send no money—just write to C. LEAVENGOOD, 1659 B. W. Rivke, Jesdale, Kansas, and the prescription will be mailed immediately. urging them to go to Africa and take the oil and everything there don't you see that that man is planning the destruction of the Negro, and is an enemy to the race." And however intellectual he is shall regard him as such and shall meet him on the common battlefield (Applause). Men who are so sinful as that and who have that conception of things as regards Africa and our race, are men whom you have to watch carefully. He may be a patron of his race, being so inclined to see only through the specialties of his own race, but if he thinks he is going to have an easy time getting oil and other things in Africa as in the past he makes a big mistake. He and his people may go on for a year or longer maybe for five years or more, but Mr. Wells, a tradition is coming. A Retribution Coming There is a thing called retribution. It takes us a moment late in our work in our operations and I feel the reaction is coming the retribution is coming. I admire the wise statesman ship of David Blood George, he knows what coming. That's why he is trying to get rid of the Irish trouble. He has some sense all right. I hope he will get told of Wesle and put some sense on his head. For 400 years England has had Ire and we have 400,000 people on her hands. Look out. We will give you 400,000,000 Negroes to handle. And the Negro is good and kind and peaceful and loving and charitable, but when you provoke the Negro then the Negro gets bad. A daughter and applause. The Negro's Supreme Duty This is my message tonight to my father, Mr. H. Wells, and when he does write again about Africa, I hope he will be better informed. I ask you people to remember that your one duty your supreme duty is to think of Africa, always to work for it every hour, every minute every second every moment of the day, for the redemption of Africa, our motherland (Thunderous applause, followed, upon request by the speaker, of the singing of the National Anthom. Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Fathers.) SIR WILLIAM H. PERRIS SPEAKS Bir William H Ferris, assistant President General of the U N I A. and literary editor of The Negro World, in the opening address of the evening, spoke in part as follows. I have observed the difference in the attitude of the press of the world toward the Negro now from what it was five years ago. Five years ago last September, in Chicago, the A. M. E. Conference met in the Institutional A. M. E. Church. Bishop L. J. Coppin preached a great sermon, Dr J. R. Hawkins and Dr J. H. Henderson delivered wonderful addresses on education. Sunday afternoon I went with an article on the conference, about two columns in length, to the Chicago papers, and none of them would publish it. Then, four years ago last summer, the Connectional Council of the A. M. E. Zion Church met in the same city, and the papers devoted but a very small, insignificant space to its discussions. Today, however, an article written by Mr H. G. Wells on African affairs takes up a goodly portion of the front page of the New York World. (Applause.) I see also that the Boston Post devoted two pages to Dr Relaser, the Harvard professor, discovering the tembs of Ethiopian kings. Furthermore, I see that a Chicago paper has printed big headlines, followed by a double column of matter, in an article devoted to the Negroes of Chicago launching out in grand opera. The country and the world now realise that there is a great deal more locked up in the black man's brain and in his will than was realized four or five years ago. When the Negro was brought as a slave to this country those who desired to keep him in bondage tried to prove that he was not a member of the human family. They claimed that the fact that his color was darker, his hair coarser and his features thicker than those of the rest of mankind was proof that God ordained him to be a servant and slave to other. This always seemed to me to be a slander upon the character of God Almighty to impute to the Author, Sustainer and Great Judge of this universe that He predestined some men to be slaves and some men to be masters. (Applause.) Here the speaker referred to the claim made when Lincoln decided to arm the slaves to help fight for the North that he would run before he would fight, all of which was more than disproved by the valor and courage of the colored troops in every battle in which they fought in the Civil War. Some of the strongest and bravest of Napoleon's soldiers were black men. Many of the soldiers of the great Roman Empire were black, and the same is true of Rubion and Porsin, recent discoveries having revealed representations of black soldiers engaged in the great battles recorded in the history of these ancient countries. Continuing, Professor Ferris and The New Negro realizes that for two thousand years his brain and his muscle have helped enrich the white races and to build up Caucasian civilization but now he desires to use his brain and his muscle to build up something for himself. (Applause.) Heretofore whenever a colored man of note died in the South he was referred to by the papers as a worthy Negro who had passed away, or a faithful servant. But today the New Negro wants to be regarded, not as a faithful servant for someone else, but as a faithful servant for himself. (Applause.) Preachers have urged THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" the Negro to bear the trium and tribulations of the world and get his reward on the other side of the grave but the New Negro wants to receive some of his reward now (Applause) Negroes Demand Reasonable The demands of the Negro seem to me to be reasonable. They are only what a normal white man would ask for. They would be a modest demand for the normal white man but our friends in the South look upon the demands of the black man on contrary reason and highly objectionable when those demands contrast in his asking for his rights and what is his just due just as if a house were to walk into a part one dog were to attempt to get up on the table like an ante talking as a mouse. But as this is deproved when it is remembered that men like Toussaint L'Occitane who was born a slave and men like Frederick Douglass and Booker Washington and others who were also always dived and accomplished great things and if struggling against the great odds they had to contend with they won distinction in the world, what might not the Negro achieve and conquer when it has the favorable conditions of the advantages such as he enjoys today in employment altogether different and far superior in that of his forefathers. Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa-All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate the dollars ($5,00) or more to the fund for the cause of world welfare adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race levy, given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the University Negro Improvement Association. If you are a person of color are desirous of strong your race illiterated if you are not illiterated. We free from oppression if you are desirous of land. Up great Negro race you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the African Redemption Fund.

Honor for we have wilt for our sailor friends and philippe on the Canadian fate to give us a and an upward push and it is the manner of the Imperial Negro im- mortal Association which was born by the Hon Marquis faraway to have the Negro give himself a lift and a push independent of others. The only rises the only individuals the only nations that will be dominant, in this world are those who have self reliance who possess the resources and mean- physical, intellectual and material with which to sustain themselves. And it is by attempting to give the Negro an economic background and forma- tion by attempting to give him com- mercial strength, that the U N I A is giving the Negro the platform on which he can stand and the resources by which he can sustain himself. And I believe that this awakening of the soul which we have seen in the past three years is but the beginning when 400,000,000 Negroes all over the world will be galvanized with the spirit of real progress and will go forward to make their contribution to civilization as their ancestors did by the waters of the Nile on the plains of Babylon and on the Isle of Morce. (Applause) All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World work by week and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now. All persons desiring 325 or more to this fund in addition to being granted a certificate will have this or her photograph published in The Negro World and in the Universal Volume to be published for distribution all over the world. SAD DEATH OF U. N. I. A. MEMBER November 29, 1921 On Saturday, November 26, 1921, the death of Joshua E. Campbell, a young and loyal member of the U. N. I. A created intense gloom in our community. In attempting to take a seat on a pump car while returning from work on that evening he fell from the car. All efforts to prevent the car from passing over him failed. He was hurried to the doctor, while his constant prayer was "Lord have mercy on me." After receiving the attention of the doctor he requested those around him not to worry. At about 5:30 p.m. he died. We, his fellow officers and members of the division, have lost a good friend and faithful worker. His death is felt on every side, as he never failed to attend our meetings. On Sunday, November 27 at 2:45 a large crowd filled Liberty Hall draped in black, to pay the last honour to our deceased brother. After the reading of a passage from Scripture by our assistant chaplain G W Tennett Treas, followed by a hymn, a procession, led by the officers and followed by the palibacarera, members of the club and friends of the deceased, wended its sorrowful way to the cemetery where the burial service was performed and our brother laid to rest. We hope to meet him in the sweet by-and-bye. We the officers, members and friends of the deceased residing in Niquero take advantage of the courtesy of The Negro World to tender our condolences to the bereaved relatives of our beloved brother. Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven J. R PARRIS Secretary Niquero, Orlando, Cuba SPRINGFIELD, ILL. U. N. I. A.

The U N I A has rendered beneficial programs which have been enlightening, educating and inspiring. The main thing, or great setback or handicap with our people is lack of business ability We must first take the apprenticeship—we do not know how to conduct business. We lack initiative—the pioneered spirit—all of those "bosetting sina" are being removed through the teachings and inspirations gleaned from the U. N. I A, but we must not hope to act ahead of our thoughts. We must be taught how to think as well as how to put our thoughts into operation.

The Ethiopian National Anthem was their sung and the members dispersed to re- turn for the social at 5 p.m. From 1:30 people started pouring in the hall and when at 2 o'clock the president declared the meeting open the hall was packed to overflowing with member and friends. After the singing of the one From Greenland and a Ice Mountains followed by the Anniversary prayer and an address by the president, the social side of the meeting began with a invitation by Master Franklin Morrison entitled I Am a Negro" followed by a violin solo by Mr Wellington Marshal.

O'MEALLY THRILLS JAMAICA AUDIENCE ON "BLACK LEADERSHIP" On November 5 we had the honor of entertaining the Hon. James A. O'Mealy, U N I A High Commissioner. The schoolroom was packed to its capacity and many enthusiasts had to remain outside the buildings. The success of the meeting was due in a large measure to our energetic secretary, Mr B E Sharrers, a thorough Curveyite. After the singing of the opening ode, Mr Buff, the president, in a neat speech called upon those who were not members to join the ranks of the U N I A. as it was only through the strength which is found in unity that Negroes could hope to succeed. The secretary then introduced the High Commissioner Mr O'Mealy who was received with hearty applause. The commissioner then delivered a length) interesting, inspiring and safe address on the principles of Warwickism. The audience was keptep bound as the commissioner drove home point after point in favor of "Warwickism" and "Black Leadership." No, and again a witty saying and a bit of humor would send the audience into tears of laughter and applause. Man) Negroes who had refused to join the ranks of the U N I A became members, and promised their support at the close of this mastery address.

Bir - have carefully and critically read all of the papers submitted by contestants for the prize offered by The Negro World Christmas Edition for the best paper on this subject and I have selected that written by Mr. Geo. C. Kendall, of Boston, Mass. as the best arranged, best written and though out of the many papers I have examined. All who have written on the subject have done so with the evident purpose of answering the question "How to Unite the American and West Indian Negro." In my humble judgment one of the best annotators to it has been submitted by the gentleman named above, whom I have selected for first place not only for the practical suppressions which are careful reading of his paper discloses, but for his clearness and directness of statement and intelligent grasp of the subject. Many of the other papers by constituents for their awards were not written with the care as regards neatness and strictures of the spelling of many sample words as shown in the productions cited. The thought is studied and in many instances learnt. Since we are all women and have a common dream we should be one in thought and purpose sympathy and fellowship. (First Prize) By GEORGE C KENDALL To the casual observer and to those worming for the unification of all peoples of African ancestry into a solid race unit it may probably appear to be something easy of a accomplishment to unite the West Indian and the American Negro. In the humble opinion of the writer however that is no easy task. He long as these different branches of the Negro Race occupy different lands and are members of different nations it would be just as difficult completely to unite them as it would be to unite at the present time the British Empire and the Republic of the United States of North America under the kingdom of Spain and the Republic of the United States of North America. It is from the greatest conquest in history for its greater conquest in history to understand. The first and most important to be that though throughout they are the same same from the African Mortal man we centuries has been much of the big American to the West Indian and American to their problems and con- currence he required each with his intentions. Not lightly to be held in the light of their America from the land and Portugal has been the basis of their or national actions and that con- tention of those long and as subtle as of those who have more advan- ces than he has in the seat of military utilization could not fail to to have a unified life in many cases in the West Indian and the American to which respect the future histories Letters of interest are delivered people of Writename to the Western Hemisphere to be discussed living under the benign regime of Mother Britain who writes that his not materially accelerated his progress, has never attempted seriously to bind it within three decades of his emancipation finding himself by British Free Trade principles the owner of all the fertile soil of the Western India, the once cherished sugar plantation of his former master by this means placed in the position of a member of a plantation capable to take his sons and daughters to the land. Great Britain can afford the British West Indian Negro wielding great political influence even under the seemingly automatic Crown Colony System of Government it must not be wondered at for the helplessness of the doyon of all Negroes and the in those lands there are nothing to bring the lines of the who died at Philadelphia, U S A one year ago, December 4, 1021, in his 29th year.

British social system a West Indian Aristocracy boasting of its few Knights and its many Honourables who would scoff at the idea of unification with less favored members of the Negro Race. To the French Negro has been accorded the full rights of French Publican citizenship, and perhaps the black Frenchman, less than any other Negro, has cultivated the minimum of rate consciousness. The American Negro on the whole, on the other hand has had his own popular development. In his struggle to become an economic and political factor in the midst of a people who greatly outnumber him, with the painful reminder that the barriers erected by slavery can never be completely removed away for nearly thirty years by a school of thought making for naked materialism for the most part he has grown differently in many sports from the British or French West Indian Negro or the native of independent Haiti. The growth of the Latin-American Negro, too, has been different from the development of either of the foregoing. He is apparently not so advanced as title of his brothers and this has been due in the main to the continuous revolutionary chaos obtaining in the republic of Latin America. It is regrettable to record almost the same thing of the natives of the Black Republic of Haiti. It must be left to the analytical mind of the student of psychology to tell us how to make a complete union of all these branches of the race possessing as they do at present such a diversity of interests and of outlook. When the big differences that have arisen have been removed and West Indian and American Negroes can be made to learn for the African Motherland we did his newly captured forbear them and only then it would seem that unity would be within the bounds of accomplishment. To the ordinary jasman who has traveled in the West Indies, Latin America and the United States of North America it would seem that some co-operation in matter of general importance to the race and a better understanding can easily be brought about within a comparatively short space of time between West Indian and American Negroes. I see in the history of the relations between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race much for the enlightenment of our own people. No one should fail to appreciate the fact that often in world matters British and American statesmen have worked together for the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon Why then, too, should not educated Negroes, oblivious to the nationalities imposed on them work for the betterment of Negroes generally? There is no doubt that on the whole recolored West Indian, American and Latin Americans are lamentably ignorant of the doings of one another since they were kidnapped from the bosom of Africa. Effort should be directed to minimizing this great degree of ignorance, to reminding us all that ours is a common ancestry and to concentration on those things in which despite differences of acquired nationality-acquired nationality there is a real community of interest. Methinks I see four means by which the bonds of estranged brotherhood between West Indian and American Negroes may be improved. The first three have for their direct object the removal of the sectional misunderstandings and ignorance of one another which exist, by bringing them more in contact with one another, the other probably makes for cooperation in matters of common interest. I'll colleges universities and similar institutions II By a system of public lectures. III By excursions. IV By conferences and by keeping in the foreground the future of the African Motherland, and by the press. IV By Colleges universities and Similar institutions. (a) Were I a black Cecil Rhodes, on my death I would bequeath such an amount as would give scholarships annually to West Indian and Latin-American members of my race to study in the more up-to-date colored American universities, and vice versa, scholarships to the West Indian and to the Latin-American universities when and if such institutions exist. I would even go further and found traveling scholarships, whereby scholarly colored young men may travel, each in the field foreign to him, with a view to studying Negro social problems and making suggestions for the improvement of my people. do it would seem, too, that by instituting a system of exchange-professorships, or something similar when that cannot be accomplished, much can be done. And so, too, the founding of a system of bi-annual public lectures by West Indian and American colored leaders of thought, each in a field to which he is a stranger. Bad it is to state that very few educated colored West Indians know of Miller, Forlia and many other eminent Afro-American scholars. True it is that they may know of Washington and DuBois, but what exactly has made each of these men famous is a scaled book to the educated West Indian college man. Will it not mean much to each of these big branches of the race to know more of the race's eminent men? Who can say "No!" It is unnecessary to dilate upon (a) and (b), for no sane man will deny that the Rhodes System of Scholarship has contributed much to the betterment of Anglo-American relations, and that Viscount Bryce and others have greatly influenced for the better American public opinion towards Great Britain and that by their addresses they have engendered saner judgment when British and American national interests have happened to conflict. It is inconceivable to think that something similar cannot but have the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 effect of creating more cordial and sympathetic relations between our own peoples. (c) Intercollegiate Sports These men can do much good. Very much like his African forefather, West Indian and American Negroes are physically fine specimens of manhood and are first-class athletes. The performance of men of the British West Indies Regiment, stationed in Egypt during the great war, elected the admiration of British commanders, many of them Oxford Blues. Surely, as in the case of inter-variety meetings between Oxford and Cambridge and Harvard and Faire very much good will accrue from such meetings between members of West Indian colleges and of colored American institutions. Every true member of the race would like to. And Gourdon measuring his strides against a Californite Carrington or House of Barbados a Harris of Dominica a Taylor of Cologne of Grenada a Farrall of Trinidad, or a Stuart or Thompson of British Guiana. (d) Affiliation of Colored American Institutions to British Senate of Learning Owing to their proximity and to the easier cost of studying within their walls colored American institutions have been of great advantage to the middle class West Indian unable to go to Great Britain to obtain his profession. It is unfortunate however that only diplomas from British schools are recognized in the British West Indies. Cannot such arrangements be made between the foremost colored American universities and British universities whereby British West Indian graduates of the former university may, after a short period of study in Great Britain return to their homes in the West Indies to practice their professions? Such men will be a great medium for the improvement of West Indian and American Negro relations as they are invariably from the peasant proprietary class who constitute the backbone of the West Indies. I. By a System of Public Lectures. This has already been considered under I. (b). Q. V 111 By Excursions Though the West Indies are within comparatively easy reach of the United States, the better class colored American is completely unknown in the West Indies. Generally it may be said that perhaps the West Indian knows a little more of his colored American brother than the colored American knows of him. The West Indies are unsurpassable for bathing places, and the beauty of the different islands cannot easily be extolled. In nearly every island are to be found bathing places superior to Brighton in England and to Miami and Atlantic City in America, and the West Indian Archipelago for its scenery presents a glimpse of Paradise. These islands are visited year in and out by white English, American and Canadians and it will do the colored American much good to do the same thing it may be pleasure and business can at one and the same time be combined by giving the West Indian exhibitions of how his colored American brother has advanced musically and historiologically. About a generation ago a company of Townsend singers visited the West Indies. They were most warmly received and applauded, their memory still lingers fondly in West Indian homes, and by a single visit they caused more sympathetic understanding between our peoples than has such a classic as 'The Souls of Black Folk' on the African Abroad. The fact is that works are unknown in the West Indies. 11 By Conferences and by Keeping in the Foreground the Future of the African Motherland By the Press, etc. Finally I come to a question of increasingly absorbing interest, in which it would appear that there is ample room for co-operation not only between West Indian and American Negroes, but between all people of African ancestry. I refer to the subjects of the rape and spoliation of Africa and the redemption of Africa or Africa redempta. The raping and exploitation of Africa to enrich British and Belgian commercialism, the concomitant atrocities committed thereby, the cruel subjugation of the African in his own home and the virtual reinstitution of slavery in the Belgian Congo and in British South Africa constitute a sad blot on the fair escutcheon of modern civilization. These subjects cry out for a remedy at the hands of all Christian people, and the wrong of Africa should appeal most forcibly to the West Indian and American brothers of the bleeding African. Should not there be saved for the poor African, from further white aggression, as much as possible of fertile Africa? Should there not be exposed to the world wicked legislation tending to curb his freedom and to deprive him of his all and in his native Africa? Christianity answers all Christian peoples should assist the African, and a common ancestry dictates the duty of the West Indian and the American Negro as forcibly as it has dictated the duty of Irishman the world over in the question of the freedom of Ireland. I think that conferences of eminent colored men somewhat along the lines of Dr. DuBois' recent Pan-African Congress, keeping watch and ward over the action of the whites in Africa, and accusing the transgressors before the forum of the world's public opinion, will not only provide Africa with some measure of protection, but will also provide a field for co-operation for West Indian and American. It would seem too that a great deal can be done in the field of journalism to create better co-operation and to engender a better understanding between these sections of our peoples. Both "The Crisis" and "The Negro World," on account of their novelties, appeal to the West Indian mind, and there is no doubt that by keeping every Negro on the American Covenant daily informed of the most important events affecting his race much more can be NOTICE THE UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY After undergoing strenuous repairs has been reopened.

The Associated Negro Press can well extend its operations to the West Indies, and a journal like The Crisis, but more international in its outlook, will be able to work wonders. To summarise then, it is the humble opinion of the writer from an acquaintance of the West Indies and America that owing to the differences of conditions under which the West Indian and American Negroes have been developing, and their consequent diversity of interests aspirations and outlooks, complete unity is too Utopian to enter the realms of serious race politics. Though complete unity may appear to be the cherished ultimate of silent members of the race, to me as a working man greater cooperation in race matters and a better understanding, appear to be more easily within the bounds of accomplishment. And the principal means by which these very desirable objects may be brought about I have briefly attempted to indicate in this short essay Second Prize) By HAMILTON O PICKERING This is indeed a problem of great moment, the solution of which a pregnant with inconceivable blessings and unlimited possibilities to the parties involved. The chief issue of the host attitude of the people toward each other is due to my way of thinking to the unforgiveness of the former, caused through the lack of a broader education of the latter together with their blind acceptance of the attitude told upon the party of the host part by the yellow press. Again there is a growing consciousness among the American Negroes of the assumption superiority over the West Indian Negroes, which they no doubt want to press in no unknown terms whatever and wherever a dispute arises among them. Right they should be superior in learning literature in music art and mental and scientific achievements since Fate of Providence has placed them irrespective of the attribution inflicted upon them in contact with the greatest and most progressive civilization yet known to mankind but in spite of the almost unlimited free educational facilities at their disposal, we find their supposed inferior their leaders further when we look for the achievements from this presumed superior part of our race resultant or commensurate with their assumed attitude plus their educational advantages over the West Indian Negroes, we find more assumption than 42 West 142nd Street After undergoing strenuous repairs in a much better position to serve former customers and well-wisher wet wash or finished Laundry at 62 in Liberty Hall, and we will assure PROMPT SERVICE So do not forget to let us do your done by expert REMEMBER THIS IS fact, more theorists than practicalists. Therefore I assume the only method by which these groups can be amalgamated is: first, by the founding of a Universal African School, whose executive staff should embrace these two nationalities especially second, this board of directors should be chosen from the rank and file of the U. N. L.A. sponsored and, if necessary, educated by said organization and financially assisted and instructed in the system of compilation of the various textbooks from which our posterity must be taught if we desire true freedom, third the history taught in this Universal African school should cover and include the important activities of our people in the western world prior and since our emancipation plus those of our mother country, fourth in order to achieve our desire I would suggest that a staff or corps of international African teachers or educators be secured or formed, the American element of which should be exchanged between the West Indies and those of staff or corps of the West Indies should be dispersed among our people throughout the Union, with the provision that after the problem has been solved the exchange of teachers be curtailed. These suggestions, I hold, will bring the various groups together enlling them to study each other in their respective homes, thereby enabling them to perceive the true situations environments and atmosphere surrounding our people which will bring about the change or unification desired. The idea of cementing the Negro peoples of the West Indies and these of America is a noble one and deserves serious attention, although complex in its nature. Yet the task is not an impossible one but it will require tact and carefully mapped out course of action planned by men and women who are acquainted with the peculiarities of both people. That there is a misunderstanding one cannot deny its existence and the American Negro, in a way is responsible for its inception. When his brother of the West Indian islands came to live among him, he was made the object of ridicule and mimery on account of his peculiarities, which the West Indian brothers looked upon as humiliating, especially as he soon discovered that his American brother was not accorded a better treatment from the Caucasian than he.

This unfriendliness has been the foundation of an estrangement that has kept the two peoples from true friendship and real amalgamation; but, as I said, the task I not an impossible one, although it is a difficult one. The means I believe that will help to overcome this estrangement are the following: (1) Realization of both West Indian and American Negroes in America, in acknowledgment of the fact that they are "black," and therefore their interests are common, and that the other races consider them as such and care "nothing" about their birthplace. (2) Periodical visits by Americans to the various West Indian islands to learn the ways and habits of the West Indian at home. This will create a feeling of sympathy, and thus cement the bonds of friendship. (3) Exchange of teachers, preachers and lecturers, etc. portraying Negro greatness and Negro progress. One of the reasons why the English have such influence over the West Indians is a lack of outside knowledge from members of their own race, save that which the Caucasians give for their own purposes. (4) Commercial intercourse — the importing and exporting of materials put up by black people here and in the West Indies. (5) Cessation of mimicry on the part of both people.

Negro, you come and take everything you see. You can be president, everything you are not going to get that from the white man. He is not so generous it is not such a Christian. And if we are going to give disapproval, He is not going to give with a religious he cares the Christianity he cares not going to give it to. And if we are in the common language, he cares. This is a white man (country). He means that the strong man is strong (country). In certain parts of the world is not so favorable as to enable us to make demands and back them up with what is necessary. What is my advice therefore? My advice is to concentrate your force your energy, your ability on that point where you have the advantage. Where have we the advantage? In America I say no. In Great Britain I say no. Where, then, have we the advantage? We have the advantage in Africa (Applause). As white men outnumber Negroes in America ten to one so do Negroes outnumber white men in Africa ten to one. No why make all your time being only one hoping to fight ten men, when you can turn the trick and get all your want (Applause). because they realize that men and different from all other men have their ment, their racial affinity selfish to others who association of that affinity (Applause) question of racial cause Japan to stand mislying for a free Asia control of an often no will take my advice to gether as you are found in the world over, yourselves a great people divided up among nation a national entity. We Britannia we may stint national alire we are sure you no fou will save with without being tempted Now we find that we are living without a national sentiment, without a national hope, because in all the countries of our homeland we find that when it comes to the final analysis of things the people we establish those flags, who establish those governments under which we live speak out loudly, that叫ally, that such a country is our country. As for instance, in America I am heard it said "This is a white man a country." In France I have heard In Canada I have heard the same thing and so on through the world. In my travels in my contact, finding New People living here and there with those who happen to have established the government, to have established the flag—they did not seem to take into consideration as a part of our government, as a part of their national life. They look upon them as people there only on sufferance, and because of that the Negro gets no protection anywhere. In my contact in my travels coming up with my people there and everywhere, I have not took a country yet where the Negro is any protection, that is to say, any protection comparable with the protection given to others within the same countries—to those who father the country who claim the country as their own. As for instance, in America you will tell me the Negro gets the protection, the privileges, the rights that the white American gets. You can't me as As of America so of Great Britain of France, of everywhere, when you come in contact with the Negro at any point in this world, he does not get the protection that others entitle to the flags under which they entitle. The result is that great thought adhere to be appreciated and those of us understand the situation closely. In America, not only in the West India in Ho Chi Minh and Central America in Europe and other parts have come to the conclusion that something should be done. What we say there should be a kindling of national sentiment among these latter people quite independent from the accidental national life they live. the idea of the and themselves—America first Britain or in France. There comes then the idea of nationhood for the Negro separate and distinct from that nationhood that the idea and which or conventience he is told is part of and for conventience and told that it is a white man a country. We of the international Negro Improvement Association from our close study of the Negro place among the nations, have come to the conclusion that the Negro should have a nation separate and distinct from the accidental nations under which he lives. Whether it be American or British or whether it be French, it is only a matter of accident, we believe. But besides that accidental national affiliation he should have an independent national affiliation. (Applauses). To drive home more closely what I want to emphasize: We have in this country German-Americans, French-Americans, Anglo-Americans, Spanish-Americans. These people are here only by accident. The German-American is an American only by ```markdown ``` me be ants he goes some fledged goes home to english A clio no more we were some we were Mie the world a and we think At all times, word is we write word (Applause). It is so strong that one drop cannot claim African nationality. The whole world Af- rican, and Applause. To me it is the world in the world that times where it is nation- ality. If you were to give me the choice of nationality, I would say first and all is time. I take me African nationality (Applause). If you were to ask the white American to give him a nationality surely he will say, My nationality is that of an American. If you ask the Englishman to take a nationality surely he will say, My nationality is that of an Englishman and he feels proud of their nationality. Take the Jew, and when it comes down to it, whatsoever you do to him, whatsoever you say to him, he will beat his chee- and say "Yes, I am a Jew." Beat the German, call him a Hun, any other name you care and he will stand up and say "Yes, I am a German." But everybody wants to get away from being a Negro. What is the matter with it? What is the matter? We have come to the turning point of civilization There is no getting away from it. Humanity has reached the crossroads of time, and race and nation is travel- ing in its own direction. Negroes, do not believe that you can continue to travel with the other races of the world, because they are not counting on travel- ing with you, except for you to carry their baggage. (Applause). If you think that the Chinese is taking you into account, if you think that the Japanese is taking you into account, if you think that the Anglo-Boxon is taking you into account, if you think that the white American is taking you into account, you are making a tremendous mistake. That is the mistake we have made so much in the past, and apparently so many of us are inclined to continue making. When white men speak, Negroes believe they mean whatsoever they say. That is the trouble now. Some of us claim. Well, we are citizens here and citizens there and the constitution is ours. Why when certain people were making the constitution they never remembered Negroes at all. When the fathers of British liberty were writing the consti- tution of freedom, when they wrest- ed from the hand of King John the Magna Charta, they never had Negroes thought they never had Negroes in mind. When the fathers of American independence were giving their consti- tution to the world, they never had us in mind. It is only by accident we find ourselves living under these respective constitutions. And the white people know it. There is this one thing I want to settle in your mind: there is no man in the world that is going to give to the other fellow that which he has worked for—on easy terms. It is not human. That is to say, if the one man builds his house, builds his beautiful home, furnishes it with the best of everything, the best of equipment, it is unreasonable for you to expect that he is going to get out of his home and let you come in and live for nothing. That is not human. That might be angelic, but we will have to wait until we get to heaven to see that. (Laughter.) You don't mean to tell me there is one man in this hall tonight who would go out and toll and toll and toll by the sweat of his brow and build up a beautiful mansion and furnish it, have a beautiful Italian garden, pictures and everything inside, the home well decorated, and then go out and say: "There is a fine home I built; go and live there; I don't want it." Which of you will do that? Which of you? None of you. And that is what we expect the world to do for us. We THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 expect these people to go out and build up their civilization as the Pilgrim. He has came hundreds of years ago, felled the last tree, secured the forest, cared the land, built powerful cities, built a powerful nation and then for us to escape them to say. All right. Negro, you come and like everything you see. You can be a resident—everything you are not going to get that from the white man. He is not so generous as he is not so a Christian. And if we are asking you will be disappointed. He is not going to give to you. With all the religion he produces, the Christianity he values is not going to give it to A. I am with in the common language, he says. Thus is a white man country. He means that the white man aid the foundation that the white man built up the foundation and the white man is not going to give what he has suffered and died for to his degree, setting it where that he has come from (Appause). That is the union of all white people of the country, that is the attitude of all people who have died themselves from a primitive state. The argument is if I go out of work if I go out and for a while I will have to build it is useless why should not the other fellow go out and do the same if he wins a house as good as mine (Appause). And those of us who believe that we can be parts of the white civilization and get equality make a big mistake. You will never get it between now and heaven. You will never get it except something extraordinary happens to these white folks and they die overnight. The only time you will see a Negro President of the United States or America is if something happens and all the white folks happen to go on a long vacation and remain too long away and the Presidential election is on so long as white folks remain here you will look at the White House and have to pass to I am dissatisfied. Disgruntled I am dissatisfied at being a citizen or a subject of any country where I cannot enjoy full privileges and full human rights. (Appause). And the first thing I do is to study the possibilities of my getting my rights. Now it is a foolish man who knocks up against terrible odds. If a man finds himself as one unit, and around him there are ten or fifteen men who are just waiting for him to attempt to interfere with their rights or what they call their rights, that one man would be a cool to attempt to fight with those men. And since he knows that he could never get possession of what those ten men have unless he whips those ten men, don't you see it would be waunting time? And that is the relative position of Negroes in certain parts of the world. We are hopelessly outnumbered. And when it comes to certain rights, you cannot get them because behind the demand there must be something else. Whenever one class demands anything it must be prepared to back up that demand.

Where, then, have we the advantage* We have the advantage in Africa* (Applause) As white men outnumber Negroes in America ten to one so do Negroes outnumber white men in Africa ten to one. Why were all your time being only one hoping to fight ten men, when you can turn the trick and get all you want* (Applause) The strong man is strong everywhere. I trust you understand what I want to bring out. A strong man is strong everywhere. A weak man is weak anywhere. What are we today? We are a race of weaklings. And why? Because we are not organized, because we will not utilise the power we have at our command. Because of the division among Negroes they are weak and if they are weak in one place they are weak everywhere because of that division. But if Negroes become strong as I have said, a strong man is strong everywhere. Why not get strong, therefore, at a place where you can be strong and be strong everywhere afterwards? The point I want to make is this. They crush and oppress us in these parts of the world because we are hopelessly outnumbered. We are hopelessly outnumbered and therefore we are weak and because there is no organization to bring us together to make us numerically strong we are weak and we reflect our weakness the world over. I say "Get strong over you can transfer part of the strength over you." A strong man is strong anywhere Jack Johnson whipped the white man wherever they took him. he was the same strong man. Now if American or West Indian Negroes will concentrate upon the building up of Africa and make it strong, a strong African republic will make you strong in America, even though you are thousands of miles away (Applause). There was a time when the Japanese at home was weak. He was a weak man in Japan and, therefore, he was weak everywhere.

We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who are made up of different nationalities, some of us American, some British, some French, although we respect the Stars and Stripes of America, although we are loyal to the Stars and Stripes, although we respect the Union Jack of Great Britain, although we are loyal to the Union Jack of Great Britain, we are also loyal to the Red, Black and Green of Africa. (Loud applause.) Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said Every race has a flag but the coon. How true? How true! How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can't say it now because those of us who are members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association love the flag of Africa so much that if any man dares to insult the Red, Black and Green of Africa we will be willing to shed the last drop of our blood—(applause)—even as the Anglo-American and the Anglo-Baxon would shed the last drop of their blood if anyone dishonored the Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack of Great Britain. Men let me tell you that the hour has come for you to decide. Decide what your future will be. Some of us pay no attention to the future. Some of us live only in the present. A voice that lives only in the present is a race that will never rise to be anything in the world. Races and nations have risen to greatness by the generations of the present always planning and thinking for the generations of the future. And, if you need to rise to be a great people, we must start it now in this generation planning for the future generations of our own race. (Applause.) Some of our people say we are crazy; that we desire the freedom of Africa an impossibility. Why is it impossible? Man said so a hundred and forty years ago that the freedom of America from Great Britain was an impossibility, but George Washington made the impossible possible. (Applause.) And I come to Washington at no time without going to Mont. Vernon to pay homage to the greatest man who ever trod the soil of America.

Un Nombre Del Presidente De Costa Rica Felicitando a Nuestra Raza Creo que la raza negra tiene abierto un hermoso porvenir si trabaja armónicamente con las otras razas que son autoras de la civilización contemporanea, aprovechando así los grandes sacrificios y la experiencia de ellas en todos los campos del trabajo humano. No dudo que la raza negra haya sido en pretéritas edades la dueña y señora del mundo y que entonces haya alcanzado esplendidas cumbres de cultura y de poder; pero en la época actual es una hermana menor de las otras, y debe solicitar y esperar de ellas el debido apoyo y sincera cooperación, para que, en un perfecto espiritu de solidaridad, vuelva a ocupar un lugar de preferencia en las actividades sociales que luchan por el mejoramiento de la especie y la mayor suma de felicidad posible. Solo en la union de todas las aspiraciones puede basarse ese ideal que persiguen los hombres desde su origen, y solo en estrecho abrazo fraternal pueden las distintas ramas de la humanidad realizar el enorme ensueño de su dicha, que es el que las impulsa a todas hacia un fin común. Sean estas palabras mi mensaje de Navidades para la raza negra, cuyo éxito y cuya prosperidad me interesan, pues no puedo admitir que el género humano llegue a ser feliz mientras una sola de sus grandes secciones no haya alcanzado el mismo punto de progreso y bienestar a que hayan llegado las otras en esta labor febril y eterna en que se mueven y agitan los nobles habitantes de la tierra. (Firmado) JULIO ACOSTA, Presidente de Costa Rica. QUE ES UNA RAZA? Por el Prof. L. T. Colón Bajo el punto de vista científico, abundantes teorías mayor parte de ellas mal guiadas, han hecho la cuel racial un asunto de tan gran importancia, y ninos a creer que los hechos reales han sido ocultados Bajo el punto de vista científico, abundantes teorías y la mayor parte de ellas mal guiadas, han hecho la cuestión racial un asunto de tan gran importancia, y nos inclinamos a creer que los hechos reales han sido ocultados THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 por razones convencionales, para denigrar y mantener en el olvido a aquellos ramales de la familia humana, cuyas abilitades y actuaciones han sido detenidas forzadamente por aquellos otros ramales de la tan llamada actitud supernatural de aquellos elementos cuyo predomino se ha impuesto sobre las sufridas, con todas las vicisitudes, miserias y despotismos, característicos de todas las edades. Castas, entre la gente de una misma raza. Patriarcados, entre la gente de una misma casta. Superioridad de una raza hacia otra, debido al feudo y a las divinas relaciones entre reyes y Dios. Los particularísimos principios religiosos de los hombres, todo esto ha abierto una compuerta para la eterna lucha; y todavía tenemos que el episodio bíblico de Cain y Abel tiene dividido, por mediación del egoismo y la inmoralidad, a todo el género humano. Una y otra vez la civilización como un oceano, ha levantado el revoloteo de sus tremendas olas, sobre el vasto dominio de la especie humana; y el único bajel que cruza el turbulento lago es "El Espíritu Conquistador" de las razas predominantes, con la sola idea en mente de desvastar y humillar a otros pueblos, cuyo derecho a la vida les fué dado a la misma hora por un mismo Dios, sin ninguna distinción o privilegios privativos de raza determinada. Igualdad de derecho; una justicia; tal fué la hechura del individuo humano, ya sea este blanco, negro, amarillo ó achocolatado. Dios brindó a la Naturaleza su mejor representativo. La Naturaleza recibió un Hombre de manos del Creador. El Gran Artista no usó el color ni ningún otro atributo físico como único objetivo de su admirable concepción. Tomando la obra en su aspecto general, estas cualidades no suman nada, porque la labor ideada por el Artífice fue más allá de la ambición de los predestinados. El color y las demas propiedades fisionómicas caben perfectamente dentro del radio de la estética, y por consiguiente, el medio ambiente y otras alternativas cambian estos atributos a medida de su deseo. La luz y la sombra de un cuadro deben tenerse en consideración, cuando juzgamos la figura de diferentes ángulos de la galeria. Cualquier pintor con mayor 6 menor vitalidad puede ejecutar los mismos brochazos y producir un efecto acertado. Lo que ningún otro artista puede hacer es copiar la inspiración del original, lo cual es una dádiva al autor por la Naturaleza. Dios, pués, hizo al hombre; esa es su obra maestra. Ya sea al borde del Cáucaso, en los laberínticos Balcanes, en la región de la Galia, en toda la vetusta Eufrasia, en las desconocidas selvas del Africa, en el Norte y Sur del Continente Americano, abajo do moran nuestros Antípodas; en Washington ó Alabama, en Cuba ó en Puerto Rico, un hombre se encuentra; y ya sea este blanco ó negro, el es un hombre creado bajo las mismas circunstancias. Este tipo de Natura puede ser blanco, negro,amarillo, rubio, criollo, mulato, indio o híbrido. Ese individuo es un prototipo de la especie general. Ese ejemplar es un miembro del gran Género; miembro del gran Arbol geneológico de la Naturaleza, y sus cualidades fisionómicas, no importa cuán simpáticas o grotescas sean, no importa que pigmento tiña su epidermis. tal tipo es una rama del Gran Arbol, y biológicamente él representa la Matriz, con todo el bagaje etnológico de la misma familia. Este Arbol tiene un gran follaje. Sus ramas se extienden promiscuamente en todas direcciones; consecuentemente, la clorofila de las hojas varia de acuerdo con la disposición geográfica y topográfica de las diferentes partes del universo. Las hojas pueden cambiar, pero ellas son parte integrante y constituyentes del mismo árbol. Así es el hombre; blanco, negro o amarillo, él es un miembro perteneciente al mismo tronco. ORIENTAL Corriendo van por la vega A las puertas de Granada Hasta cuarenta gomeles Y el capitán que los manda Al entrar en la ciudad, Parando su yegua blanca, Le dijo este a una mujer Que entre sus brazos llorab. —Enjuga el llanto, cristiana, No me atormentes asi, Que tengo yo, mi sultana, Un nuevo Edén para tu Tengo un palacio en Granada, Tengo jardines y flores, Tengo una fuente dorada Con más de cien surtidores. Y en la vega del Genil Tengo parda fortaleza, Que será reina entre mil Cuando encierre tu belleza. Y sobre toda una orilla Extiendo mi seforio; Ni en Cordoba ni en Sevilla Hay un parque como el mio Alli la altiva palmera Y el encendido granado, Junto a la frondosa higuera Cubren el valle y collado. Y co Para Resp Sim Mis V A m Que Valo Ea Y m Dijo En b Que Y m Por Allí el robusto nogal, Allí el nópalo amarillo, Allí el sombrio moral Crecen al pie del castillo. Y olmos tengo en mi alameda Que hasta el cielo se levantan, Y en redes de plata y seda Tengo pájaros que cantan. Y tú mi sultana eres; Que desiertos mis salones, Está mi harén sin mujeres, Mis oidos sin canciones. Yo te dare terciopelos Y perfumes orientales, De Grecia te traeré velos, Y de Cachemura chales. Y te dare blancas plumas Para que adornes tu frente, Más blancas que las espumas De nuestros mares de Oriente; Y perlas para el cabello, Y baños para el calor, Y collares para el cuello, Para los labios . . . ¡amor!— ;Qué me valen tus riquezas Respondiole la cristiana, Si me quitas a mi padre, Mis amigos y mis damas? Vuélvene, vuélveme, moro, A mi padre y a mi patria, Que me torres de León Valen más que tu Granada. Escuchóla en paz el moro, Y manoseando su barba, Dijo, como quien medita, En la mejilla una lágrima: —Si tus castillos mejores Que nuestros jardines son, Y son más bellas tus flores, Por ser tuyas, en León, Y tú diste tus amores A alguno de tus guerreros, Hurri del Edén, no florés, Vete con tus caballeros. Y dándola su caballo Y la mitad de su guardia, El capitán de los moros Volvio en silencio la espalda. "CANTO A AMERICA" Admirable deidad! Noble señora! Dónde comienza tu immortal grandeza? Tu ingente cuna, por quién fué mecida? al levantar tu divinal cabeza, mostrando al mundo tu ignorada vida? Quén fué tu creador? Dios? Lo sabemos, mas ignoramos tu ascendiente humano, como pueblo fecundo. que al estrechar del europeo la mano, hallo para su gloria un nuevo mundo, y en cada natural, un nuevo hermano. Dónde nació tu estirpe? Quién fecunda a través de los siglos tu grandeza, y de saber y podero circunda tu noble frente y tu imperial cabeza? Cómo naciste tu? Cuáles edades pasadas con los siglos a torrentes nos dan antecedentes de tu origen e imensas potestades? ¿Cómo naciste tu? Le basta al hombre pensar y comprender que tu grandeza, tu innensa tradición y noble historia se han perdido en el tiempo y la memoria con los pueblos, ciudadas, monumentos, obeliscos, piranidos y tumbas, con los templos y symbolos sagrados a los distintos dioses levantados, al comoverse el eje de la tierra, verter las aguas y surgir los mares, separando el Imperio del Oriente, por hondo abismo, impenetrable arcano, para hacer que la Reina de Occidente ligara su existencia al oceano? No me importa saber si del Egipto o la India Oriental es tu ascendencia . . . Le plugo a Dios surgieras de los mares, nimbada por divinos resplandores, adornada de ceibas y palmeras, de cedros aromorosos y de flores. Tapizado tu suelo de esmeralda, fuera una verde alfombra tu campiña, que copian las corrientes de rios cristalinos, imponentes, como el inmenso oceano, a donde desembocan aflientes, cual si Dios los guiara por su mano Los siglos contemplaron tu belleza, bajo la inmensa boveda del cielo, acrecentando tu immortal grandeza, llenando de riquezas el subsuelo. La superficie, de eternal verdura, los lagos de esplendor resplandeciente, las selvas de suavisimos ramajes, de arboledas los montes intrincados, y para completar tal armonia inmensa variedad de aves canoras, que dan a todas horas conciertos de admirable melodia. Tus rios, como arterias de cristales, nacen de manantiales, cuya extensión circunda el continente. Y a veces, de repente, precipitan sus aguas a lo alto, dando uno y otro salto. Otro más fuerte en su imperial carrera, su imponente caudal se desespera, y cuando llega el liquido de plata a la empinada cumbre en que se agita. de alli se precipita, desatado en inmensa catarata. El manto de tu ciclo tachonado de estrellas fulgurantes, que alumbran como lamparas colgantes, de gloria y parabienes te han colmado. \ al descender las sombras de la noche sobre la immensa tierra americana, desata Venus su radiaute broche, Marte su ardiente lumbre y en concierto imponente las estrellas parcecen ser más bellas, bajo el zafir radiante de su cumbre. Lucen de la mañana a los resflejos, al despuntar la aurora, los lagos, como limpidos espejos, y una inmensa guirnalda nuestra flora, y cuando rasga su cortina Diana, sobre la cima seniorial del monte, aparece la faz encantadora del Gran Emperador del Horizonte, inundando de luz cada mañana. Todo es hermoso, encantador y bello sobre la tierra en flor; el panorama ensancha sus hechos por segundos, el tibio sol se inflame, el ave afirma su emprendido vuelo, la rama cruge saludando el dia; dobla la palma su rizado encaje, la altiva alondra se remonta al cielo; la tierra virgen, se decora, en tanto tiende sobre su faa el verde manto de radiante esmeralda. El verde mirto y delicadas flores ostentan su matia sobre la falda acoplado en pliegues los colores de que viste la gran Naturalzea, que le da vida a su innortal grandeza. El urte, el cielo, vina saturado de perfume fragante. vuela el polen con ansia fecundante; la Flora uiembla de ardoroso anilte; toman forma los seres, bajo el velo imponente y sagrado del misterio que la reproduccion guarda fecunda; surge toda la vida. Al fin, se inunda de palpitante amor el Hemisferio, y apareces en medio de las ondas, como Venus surgiendo de los mares, coronada de palmas y de flores, ostentando entre rosas y azafares el sefiorial imperio de tus frondas. Tú pareces del cielo transportada a la tierra, por bellos querubines, y tu inmortal belleza, cortojada en carroza de amor, por serafines. Semejante a la Maga del Oriente, saturada de aromas y de encanto, se corona de luz tu altiva frente y-te adornas los brazos y garganta con ambar, esteralda y amaranto, que illuminan tu fas resplandeciente, con los fulgores de tu regio mantel. Como nace la anrota en la amalfiña Llena de claridades diamantina. Y ante cuya belleza soberana La alta humanidad, la frente inclina Y meciendo su cuma nacarada Bajo el radiante Tromo de topacio Que tiene por dominios el capacio Que Dios habita, en la Mansion divina; Surgiste, ti, con majestad de Diosa Noble y fecunda tierra americana! Cuando las naves de Colón, triumfante, Del mar sobre las ondas, Saludaron tus playas y tus frondas; Mientras ardiente y fervoroso sale Un poema de luz, que el pecho encierra De Rodrigo de Triapa Al sentimiento, De ver la noble aspiración colmada, Al exclamar con sim igual aliento, De pie sobre su nave: | Tierra! | Tierra! Ta pudo salutado el Amirante Las nobles carabelas Que ya repllegan sus hinchadas velas A la tripulación, que insosegada, Pugo cambiar la suerte no sofida. A las vieja naciones que dudaron De su ingente visión de gran vidente, Y creyendolo un loco, rehuzaron Prestar apoyo al sofador ardiente. Ya pudo bendecir a sus amigos & donador también en enemigo. Ya pudo bendecir, lleno de gozo A la Nacion que secundo su anhelo, Y la con mas grande amor, más fervoroso, La justicia de Dios, y el mismo cielo, Ya pudo saludar con regocijo El amor fraternal, al noble hijo, Al sol, la luna, al mundo; a las estrellas; A todo cuanto rie, llora o canta A cuanto se levanta Bajo el inmenso azul del firmamento; A cuanto Dios permite al sér humano Comprender o admirar un solo instante; A cuanto el Oceano Lleva con vida en su profunda entrafa Y a la tierra feliz en que naciera El Rey Fernando e Isabel Primera, ¡América fecunda! Tu imponente grandeza se agiganta Cuando la luz de la azulada esfera Baño la faz del noble navegante, Abriendo el mar su impenetrable seno; De los siglos rasgando el denso broche Como rasga la luz, la negra mocha Del cuarzo, y fulgurante Surge entre resplandores el diamante. Tal surgiste a la vida del derecho Por la virtud suprema de la Historia, Rebosando de amor, tu casto pecho En inmanentes nupelas con la gloria, Luego comienzas a escribir tu Historia. Y a revelar al mundo tu grandeza, Tu suave clima, tu secundo suelo, Tus tibias noches y estrellado cielo; Tu fe, tu amor; ya en forma extraordinaria; Tu noble condicion de hospitalaria; Tu bondad sin igual, tu gentileza, Tu hermoso corazon, da amor secundo Rebosante y ardiente; Mientras le brinda al extranjero asilo Y logras que del Nuevo Continente Surja gallarda la armonig del mundo. Por eso aparecliste sonriente Entre palmeras, ceibas y rosales, Inspirando sencillos madrigales Los bucles juguetones da tu frente. Por eso fue, que commovido el cielo Cuando hollaban las naves espaloles Con ardiente avidez las blandas olas Del imponente mar, con rumbo incierto, Dios, con su Gran Poder, jomnipotential Desde su Santo Trono Y con amor (secundo Quiere llenar de gloria al Viejo Mundo] Guia las naves a seguro puerto Muestra a Colón el Nuevo Contigente A través de los mareas, Y corona la frente fulgurante De ingente gloria y de immortal grandeza Del vidente genial; del navegante Que lucha y vence a la naturaleza Rasgando el denso velo que cuelga El radiante Hemisferio, En nombre de la Cruz que nos redime, Y en nombre de los reyes de Castilla, Y con ardiente amor, su sello imprime; El sello de la fe, al nuevo Imperio Que habrá de recorrer de orilla a orilla. El mundo conmovido y agitado Admira a la Nación descendirora, A quién nimba la lice de meva antora Que explende augusta, el inmortal recinto De la Reina Isabel y el Rey Fernando; Mientras cíne orgulloso Carlos Quinto La corona inmortal que da a su gloria El Imperio más vasto conocido En el mar, en la tierra y en la Historia. Después surgió el Derecho Y en seno maternal, fecundo Espaia Veinte naciones en el Continente, Que son veinte estabones que forjara En el auren crisol del sentimiento Con fervoroso ardor y noble allento, Que no decrece, que no sufra mengua, Por el amor, la religión, la lengua; Por el concierto espiritual, ardiente, De perpetuar la lengua de Cervantes; De avivar el recuerdo en la memoria; Mostrando al mundo su radiante gloria Y no dote amenizacion Y en gloria extraordinaria Perpetuar la figura legendaria De la Nación más grande de la Historia Y al presentarse así, mostrar en allento, Su excelsa majestad y su grandeza. Como se muestra el sol en el espacio, Centro fecundo en sideral distancia. Cíldendo la Diadema. De Reina y madre. A quien cupo el honor de lister publico. Que si separa el vivido Cicero. Una la religión y el misto libertas. A quien no inspira cabo. De dominio imperial en manter la libertad. Porque cada Nación susfera. Es más libre, en verdad, cada mantería. Y la excelsa Nación susfera. Es más cierto, en verdad, cada mantería. Una gran poesia: "CANTO A AMERICA." Un gran poeta: JUAN F. RISQUET. Cubano. La opinion general, y la opinion particular de Segundo Kadosh SE SOLICITAN ANUNCIOS EN ESPANOL PARA ESTA PLANA. Y amanita que pasan días de haber solo publicado en nuestro instado solega. Dario de la Maura ima el Canto a América, que he hemos soberado con gran placer obra del inspirado poeta UAN HISRUSET se acentuaba la opinión alrededor de su autor como un gran poeta, cuva bra cada vez que vibra es mas alta, mas dulce más melodiosa. Hemos dado y reloled el bello Canto a América acto que por primera vez repetimos por falta de tempio y por falta de habitato, pues acostumbramos leer versos una sola vez, solo las grandes obras nos han repetir su lectura, como en la musica, sola una gran producción nos hace repetir su auditoria. Y como que es nuestro habitato y forma, ha acontecido a uno poco de hombres que averen una felicidad, hombres de letras y tempos de una de nuestras más altas personalidades lo siguiente de tan hermosano canto "Desde la tacia muchos años no le una tan alta producción poética, tan llena de vida tan intensa, tan emo- triva" (Conteniza el poeta, con una invocación soberana ahora con una puerta inmensa a las ideas, las deja penetrar en su cerebro tomando for- ma, y vida, y a manera que van desarrollandose, uniformadas de los mas bellos ropaes se presentan a nuestra vista, común en angel alado, lleno de amor dulcura y claridades que deslumbran domnan y subyugan Hace pozo tiempo, o del momento autor un poema didactico, soberbio "Las Abejas", cuvo canto no apreni y también lo aprenido de memoria, mi hijo Mario. Después les sugran poema "Las campanas de Paris", canto épico, que me dio la impresión de los más altos canto de este genero, admirma al poeta, bendecía al canto cuva obra sin disputa, en el genero spicó es le más hermoso que hemos producido. "Pero ahora acontece, que el gran poeta bota el record de sufran en el hermoso Canto a America" que es dominador, subynguye, impone "Soy poco imprenable en acajques literarios, parro y tardio en dar sus juicios, pero ante esa obra me declaro vencido. Cuanto el gusto y el arte puedan exigir, viven en la ultima producción del insigne poeta. La América surge de su cerebro tan bella y rica, como surgió de la Naturalza. Risquet, ha escrito su obra, con cunel de oro, sobre el blanco marmol del tiempo. Todas las bellezas se encadenan en tan grande producción, sin decaeer, siempre ascendiendo, como las cascate romanes, del gran arte de Beethoven, ejecutadas por un gran maestro." Si tomas al azar, cualquiera de sus estrofas, ella bastaria para ver en el autor a un gran poeta. Poeta que participa en la nacional, de Plácido, con más cultura que este; de Mendive, en las estrofas tiernas, de Casal, en lo bello, de Heredia, en lo atrevido y valiente, tanto, que cuando invoca, se recuerda al gran bardo autor del Niagara, y cuando describe la catarata hablando de los rios como arterea de cristal, aviva el recuerdo del insigne primer poeta cubano. Cuando pinta -la inmensa poesia es todo un gran cuadro lleno de regios colores v luz- entonces, vemos que participa de Rubén Dario, de A ando Nervo, piadoso y sentimental y de Chocano, bravo, grave, valiente y hermoso. Creo que tenemos un gran poeta en el poeta Rusquet. Si las grandes obras son y tienen que ser producto de un gran autor, el autor de esa gran poesia, es por consaguente, un gran poeta. Hasta allí las manifestaciones del ilustre compatriota que hablaba, llenando a los circunstantes de intensa emoción. Nosotros recogimos su impresión, que es la nuestra, ya en lugar de ser pronunciadas a un grupo de amigos la lanzamos a millares de personas desde EL MUNDO, tan identificados con ellas, que sólo se nos adelantó nuestro compatriotaunas horas entre las que median de la reunión v la publicación de estas linas. Sin embargo, siendo nuestro compatriota Risquet, un gran poeta y un notabilismo escritor, autor de varias libros, poesias, historia, filosofía et cetera, poseyendo además varios idiomas, no puede ser en su país nada; no puede ocucar un puesto en el Congreso para honra de Cuba, ni siquiera desempeñar un cargo visible en que desvolviera su grandes facultades, su poderoso talento. . .

Sergio ACEBAL SE SOLICITAN ANUNCIOS N ESPAÑOL PARA ESTA LANA. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 Con ocasión de celebrarse en París el "Gran premio" de las carreiras de la caballos, el teatro de la Opea preció para atarar público, un espectaculo cuvo programa, compuesto de numeros meditos, llamando la atención por su exentridad y atrajo a la tacuila "todo Toño" El período "Los Mayos" conmundo este hecho recuerda los medios de que se valían en otro tiempo para hacer atrayente y productivas estas humildades teatrales. Un anuncio original En tiempo de Luis Tejepe por ejemplo, ponan a los bailarines enormes载ebas de cartón representando los hibriles celebrados de aquel tiempo, y a se servir para parte en los más alegres bailes a los personalidades más misteriosas, grasas de la época. Pero la attraction que tus mas aisla fue la presentada por la Opera en enero de 1845, cuando animó una botónivo precioso una hermosa joyería.

El muestro que no esperaba, o entemente tal pregunta, desencocerdo, no pudo encontrar una respuesta. Se sabe sin embargo, que desde entonces deja crecer su barba y su bigote, y con gusto descaria hacer mismo con sus cabellos, pero oto es impossible pues los ha perdido para seimpre desde hace tiempo, sendo uno de los calvos mas notables del remo. Sobre la vida del Kaiser En un periodo de Berlin, el "Rolando von Berlin", se ha publicado un artículo muy interesante acerca de la vida del Kaiser. In dicho artículo, el cantante de opera, Walter Kirchhoff, describe una visita que hizo al Kaiser en Doom Es la primera persona, después de la familia y del séquito imperial, que ha estado en dicha casa desde la muerte de la Kaiserina. El ex-emperador Guillermo, que vesta un uniforme de general, adornado con la Gran Cruz, la Cruz de Hierro y la de la Order Pour le Merite, recubió al cantante con las siguientes palabras "Es una gran bondad suya, la de visitar a un hombre tan solario." Durante la comida, que fue servida en pequeñas mesas redondas, se hablo, mas que de otra cosa, de asuntos miiltares, y se trate de iniciantes relacionados con la batalla de Jutlanda; pero no se menciono para nada la política Después de la comida, canto Kurchhoff, durante tres horas, con breves intervalos. Está es la primera vez que el Kaiser ha oído música vocal desde 1914. Sigue el tenor diciendo "Cuando enpece a cantar o murmurlos producidos en la obscuridad, por la puerta lateral de la sala, que esta abierta. Alli se encontraban los ventes del Kaiser, criados, doncellas, jornaleros y mensajeros. Se hallaban sumamente satisfechos del incidente y guardaban el mayor silencio, solamente interrupido por la misica, que a veces comentaban con gran alegría "Yo le pedi al Kaser continua Kirchhoff, que me permite cantar en la dirección de aquel auditorio oculto en la sombra, y el empeñador, que hasta entonces habla estado a mi lado, se coloco entre sus sirvientes." El color de la piel El color de la piel humana se ofrece que proviene de agentes fuscos extteriores, entre los cuales se mencionan, la luz, el calor y los alimentos, y se nota que los colores obscuros reinan en la zona tordiría, donde se encuentran todas las graduaciones del negro hasta el moreno, mientras que los claros, desde el moreno al rubio, en las zonas templadas. Esta influencia se nota en la mayor parte de los pueblos africanos que pertenecen, o mejor dicho se derivan del tipo blanco. La acción colorante se extiende además, sobre el color del cabello y de los ojos, los cuales son por lo general negros u obscuros en los países calurosos, y claros o respectivamente rubios y azules en las regiones templadas y frina. --- Fidela la Cantinera Jusno de romantica figura la cantura i los saldados, madre de ellos, consejera, hermana de la caridad, la sido herda gravemente llama cumpla el oleo de la noble aventura, una de las formas mas emocionantes del femmino, ayudar al varon en los trances arduos, ponerle de mantiso en la ocasion en que la muerte paesa la alegría de la victoria, como premio del esfuerzo, condemando el amor de la raza en un vaso de "benascato" Suena la crepación de la fuelle tra, aqué cue un hombre, allo otro Vlo lejos, en las ondulaciones del terreno, vibra la corneta, el pajar de cobre, que canta llamando al s crítica.

Porque como aba de decor un medicio militar del Ejercito de los Estados Unidos, en el campo de batalla "hay que presmir de la higiene Un frasco de limpo alo hol levanta el alimento y le impulsa a la resistencia". Espartero, en la noche de Luchana, pedía para sus soldados que acampaban en la meve "tabla y aguajardente". Y /zuma la harregruen el gingo de la rebelión tradicionalista, que amo no ha teido quien estudió y susso su prodigiosa figura, decía desde Azpora a sus anuviales "Que venga polvora. No olide el aguardante que es el de los que pediamos. Y Napoleon en las vaspersas de su grandeza, en la manana gloriosa de Lodi, exclamaba ante su avuidante, Berrier. "Un tambour et un vivandiere . . ." Eso bastaja al Corso para lograr la victoria. Fidela Gomez nos uvele al tiempo viejo. La cantura de la guerra de Afrika en el 59 y el 60 vesta el uniforme de su regiment. Disfrutaba de ración y de pret. Parece que el tambor suena con su retemblar magnifico que es al mismo tiempo sonal de victoria y canto tunerario. Quisiera yo que alguien pensara en esa mujer, en la que resurge en noblecida y purificada la imagen de Chispilla la Bolichera; y aun mejor, la memoria de Dorotea la Churra, que acompaína al olvidado general Ricardos, el invasor de Francia. Unas pesetas, una atención de sunpatia . . . Algo que ponga en el animo de la ultima cantina la certae de que sus esfuerzos no han caudo en la indiferencia. La mano revela el carácter de la persona La sociedad para la educación eugénica en Londres recomienda a los que van a casarse que estudien minuciosanemente la mano de su futura ante de contraer el lazo indisoluble No se trata de quorumacina—ha迪弥 al "Daily News" uno de los miembros de dicha sociedad —, pero es ciento que la mano revela el carácter mejor que la palabra. Por ejemplo, aquella que los hombres llaman "una mujer util", posee, casi siempre, una mano que no responde al concepto de la estética manos de ancha palma, dedos maizos y de pulgar muy grueso. La mujer que tiene manos hermosas, con dedos delicados y fines y palma estrema es la mayor parte de las veces, la más conveniente para el hombre que busca una buena ama de casa Hay también las manos regorordetas, adornadas de hoyuelos, que revelan en la mujer que las posee, carácter dulce y afectuoso, pero que no siempre indican disposition para las faenas domésticas. Y las mujeres? A que deben presentar atención cuando se trata de escoger marido? Deben mirar si el pretendiente fuma en pipa o cigarrillos, si sus pantalones estan sucios de barro, como cuenta la moneda que le devuelve; de qué lado lleva inclinado el sombrero, que postura toma cuando esté en reposo De estas observaciones, a joven casadera podría formarse a idea clara, si su pretendiente es pullo o no, cortes o desatentado, energico o cobarde, comedido o agresivo nervioso y tímido o seguro de su mismo Para contraer matrimonio en España se necesitará certificado médico Ha producido incalculable espectación en todo el país y está siendo objeto de discusión en la presan y artículos sociológicos, la información de que el ministro de Gobernación, conde de Coello de Portugal, presentará muy en breve a las Cortes un proyecto de ley por el cual se exigiría como requisito indispensable a todas las personas que deseen contraer matrimonio un certificado médico en que se acredite que gozan de buena salud y se hallan en condiciones filológicas que hacen aconsejable el enlace. MARRUECOS La parte de Marruecos conociada con el nombre de zona espahola, en la cual las tropas espaholas han sufrido recuentemente la perforda de miles de hombres y de la cual han tenido que evacuar miles de kilometros cuadrados, es la región conociada con el nombre el Costa Barbaria En la actual generación, es terrorio se hizo famoso por el cuadillo Muñal Almed er-Raisul, que capturo y detuvo a resate al cuadiano americano Perdicaris, en 1905. Esto pasaba durante la administración Roosevelt y dio lugar a la famosa frase del Secretario de Estado Hav, pidiendo "Perpéricaris vivo" o Raisul muerto" Perdicaris fue puesto en libertad El mundo conoce relativamente poco acerca de Marruecos, apesar de que ha sido el campo de buenas intermientes durante siglos. Ocuparai extremo norte del Africa con unaarea de alrededor de 400 (000) kilómetros cuadrados v una polida con de cono a diez millones de habitantes, cuyos interpazos formaron parte de las primitivas nativas sones, sarracenas y compustron Granada. L país est organizado con una monarquía absoluta, con un Sultan o Califa a su cabeza. La actual ocupeante de ese puesto es Mula-el Mehdi, pero su control de los sheefs o nobles ha sido por mucho tiempo nominal. Varios gobernos européos han estado en negociaciones con los sultanes para pacificar Martuces, pero ha resultado solo en revuelta como la del Rasuil en atención que han trado nuevamente la cuestión ante los gobernantes eutopes. Tres razas habitan Martuces los Berberes o montanes, que computan el Lspan en tres diferente a las, la raza mixta de los Berberes y los Arabes, conocidos como mozos que son por lo general mabonotados, v las colonas de judía de la casa que han been dado el control del comercio del pas. La zona española, donde se desarrolla actualmente la lucha, es una estrecha faja de terreno que se extende en la costa Noroeste a lo largo del Mar Mediterraneo. Thiene una extension al alrededor de 320 kilometros, de Algeria al Oceano Atlántico y penetra al interior 100 kilofectros. Este territorio no comprende sinembargo la punta extrema del Noroeste, donde está la cudad de Lugar. Los francéses controlan nominalmente el territorio que se extende al Súr. Los espahuelos han combatado a los morros por siglos, pero fue solo en 1912 que el bitoral del Norte de Marruecos fue asigado a España, de conformidad con el tratado Franco-Español, firmado ese año. Desde entonces España ha estado dedicada a intentos esporadicos para mantener su autoridad, con resultados varios. Los gobiernos francés y español decidieron en enero 1920 hacer mostraciones militares en sus zonas respectivas con el objeto de preparar el camino al establecimiento de un gobierno estable. La zona francesa fue pronontamente pacificada, pero el territorio español, que estaba bajo la administración del general Dama-o Berenguer no pudió serlo tan facilmente. Las tropas españolas hicieron primer su base en la Arish, conocido también como Larache. De alli penetraron en el interior y capturaron cuarto número de posiciones moras, entre otras la llamada crudad prohibida de Shehawan Enseguida, por algún tiempo se ovoo de sus actividades en el distrito Oeste de Marruecos. Los espanoles mandaron otra expedición al mando del general Silvestre, que estableció su base en Melilla. De este punto las tropas del general Silvestre intentaron penetrar hacia el Sur. Tuvieron al principio exitos, pero en la primera pasada los espanoles se en contraron con la resistencia de tropas natives y tributa hostiles, en número de alrededor de 20,000 hombres, bien armados y provistas de artillería. Las derrotas serias de las tropas españolas se iniciaron a principios de junio, cuando se companías de tropas auxiliares o nativas se amontaron, mataron a sus oficiales españoles y se pasaron a los rebeldes. Desde entonces los españoles han sufrido otros serias revues y han tenido que replegarse a Mélilla. El general Silvestre fue muerto o se suicidó, en circunstancias que pretendía salvar una avanza. Fin esa seccion los moros estaham encabezados por Abd el Krin, caudillo moro de 35 años de edad, educado en Francia y en España. Sus propósitos son, dicese, civilizar Marruecos siguiendo las ideas europeas, pero sin perder la esencia de la cultura marroquí. Fué anteriormente juez de un tribunal de naturales de Melilla y era leal a España, pero durante la Guerra Mundial sus tendencias germanófilas llevaron a los franceses a pedir su interacción, que los espafioles concedieron. Sinembargo, logro escaparse y juro desde entonces vengarse de los espafioles y del general Silvestre en particular. Raisuln no ha figurado en las reclentes lucha. CRONICAS AMERICANAS La profesión del periodista—El multimillonario Cornelina Vanderbilt St usted padrera a escoger librerie mi su profesión, sino estuviera trabajando en lo que esta trabajando como consecuencia de las circunstancias, que trabajo esogera? St usted un investigador científico? St será la quertera hacedo concreto mediante marino, actor? Poxos son lo que son porque as lo descarran, lo son generalmente por que las circunstancias las obligaron a coger sus ramos espéciales de actividad. Muy tres cuentamente los hips siguen las mismas profesiones de los padres. No debe verse en esto, previsamente, una consecuencia de la herencia. El hipo de un sastre v siempre a su padre cortar pano hacer repaso a veces le cavasta y avide la protección la adapita como propaga aprovechando la experiencia pattera. Si con vez de vivir con un padre sastre hulenta viendo con un tinturero muy posible hulera sido tinturero toda la vida. Cuestion de circunstancias. Peto hay cortos casos en que el predisposition especial puede que las circunstancias. A mucha ocurrida eso con el periodismo. Nov periodista. Nov periodista porque se periódista porque se tengo que ser periodista porque me amo a la protección porque siento hostila a protección una musculación me intenta. No me cancaba mi protección por magia otra. How she cancled her protección millones de dolor de espina y en la America el spadón durante después de su tratamiento en el corazón de Navy. No me retiro a mí hogar en los drebbios de la gran pantalla, al lado del arrojo que lame los cementos de mi casa, bajo los abellos, me sento a convencer con toda el mundo de español, me siento tan feliz como puerta hombre匀sentirse Creía que esto era una de debilidad mia, una raza de mujidos nascidas Grata fue mi sorpresa cuando les las recientes declaraciones he las por Cornelius Vanderbilt el mismo soven millionario, miembro de de las mas destigmas famílias de América. Su padre, Cornelius Vanderbilt, tuving mucho en sus aves. Si bien se distinguen en las impresiones nos. Su sabalu o su sabalu buelo tuieron igualmente tamaños. El hoy día de venitres años es un multimillionaire. Siendo ununo inmudo de la fortuna, garo el que lo mejor era dedicarse a gozar de esa fortuna. No por cuatro paces en los 15 estudios Lundes no es honorable no trabajar Vivir, vivir, de las tareas preparas aqu más bien en estigna que un hombre. A losago cultores Navalho tha profesión de su padre de su duño lo has abuelo? No I losiven multilonario centa el desco de su periodista. Pura y simplemente periodista El quería hablarlos a las multitudes desde ese grandio-pulpo moderno, las columnas del diario que son las columnas de la soaked moderna El quería vivir intensamente la vida y hablar con el público acerca de las cosas de la vida. Por sapuito su hubera presentado su tarjeta al editor de cuilquiera de los grandes diarios neoyorquinos, su nombre hubera bastado para que se le aceptara, a los menos en cabaldo de prueba. Pero el no quería presentarse como el multilonario Cornelius Vanderbilt sino como un joven ambolo de ventures primeras Se presento a las oficinas de The Tribune, The World y The Philadelphia Ledger, pero en munguna parte se le acepto. No necesitan nuevo personal. Por fin en el New York Herald, se le dojo que haba una vacuna por una semana y que le tomaría a el por vía de ensaño. Su durante la semana su trabajo era satisfactorio, podria quedar permanente. Su trabajo fue satisfactorio y se le dejo de planta. No haba dado su verdadero nombre. El sueldo que se le asignó fue de treinta dólares por semana, lo cual era para el joven mullonario completeniente satisfactorio. El primer trabajo que se le encomendo al periodista novel fue una entrevista a un potentado africano de Zanzibar, la que el pudo hacer mejor que sus colegas de otros diarios, pues el entrevistado no habla inglés, v. s. francés, idioma que también dominaba Vanderbilt. El nuevo periodista no da buna numa su nombre para obtener sus entrevistas. Nilo hizo aundo entrevistado el Príncipe de Gales. No quería usar de su nombre como de un privilegio especial Cuando en el diario supieron quien era, buho una sorpresa general, pero se la trato siempre lo mismo que a cualquier otro reporter. Se le conociá allí sólo por su número, como a los demás. Otro diario que supue que Vanderbilt estaba en el Herald le ofreció un sueldo de veinticinco mil dólares al afio. Lo querían alli para que escribirla la sección de vida social, y, naturalmente, the periodista de vocación no acentó la oferta. L'gran evoluto del millionario como periodista no ha quedado tan de manifiesto en sus triuntios en el diario que lo ocupa, m en sus artículos de revista, como en el rapido desarrollo de su sindicato individual que ofrece sus artículos simultaneamente a una series de diarios de diversas localidades --- No compreendo esta soluciónidad del milenario Vanderbilt. No crece pocas de un creto con para este diario su digo a mis lectores que este mismo artículo que esta legendorahora lo conoce simultaneamente en toda la Murcia España y en muchas cantidades de España. Por supuesto fue el diario España solo en un diario de cada región Hay tres millones y medio de lectores que van a horrar un artículo que escribido bajo los árboles al lado de un arturo. Los dedidores de Nuestra York. Los sat en excepción, el diario más importante de la capital de cada país bipropanoamericano y de cada región de España el que me la honrado aceptando mis crónicas semanales. Los grandes diarios de la grande capital que han sabido comprender el valor de la cooperación extenden su circulación por todo el país, de manera que lo que estas escribieron quase se lee en España, en Nuestra en las Islas Filipinas en Nuestro en Ecuador, en Sama Dariana en Guatemala, en todos los países de la misma España. Para un todos son por igual sus objectos. Los cribos cartas con conversas son con cribos. Conversas con tres miliones y medio de amigo bolldelos de las cosas de la vida de los de do lo triste, de lo allegre. Hace presunamente un un que con todo con todo el pullo de la espanola, con todo mis de raza. Que el pullo me con simpatia que demonstró con el hecho de que, pudiendo catalizar diario rechazar alquíquería de los cromas sin darme razas y gulo en un diario en ocasión. La pullo de publicar algunos de mis tulos. Si los editores aongen mis cromas con mal imunidad porque seben que el público las las con agrado. Quero aprovechar este cumpleanos para decir. Gracias, gracias, gracias a todo la tama la hispa, a todo las hermanos de raza. Gracias otro vez. Gracias, gracias. Antes de terminar valgar decir que así como converso con el mudo hispano principalmente acerca de las cosas norteamericanas, converso con los Estados Unidos, por intermedio de numerosos diarios acerca de España y de la América Española. Mi trabajo es un trabajo de interpretación de una America ante la otra América. Es una porción interesante de mi labor presentar en ambos continentes la producción literaria más representativa del Nuevo Mundo y de España. Con interes recubriendo toda valiosa obra literaria o sociológica de España v de qualquier país de la América Española para presentar a mis lectores de ambos hemisferios al pensamiento de sus más preclaros escritores que muchas veces queda, innereamente, encerrado en las fronteras nacionales porque son escasos los medios de intercambio intellectual en el Nuevo Mundo.
