The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Reaching the Main of Negroes Everywhere Negro World ONE GOD, AIM, ONE DESTINY A Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of the Negro Race The Fight Is On to Save the Negro Race From Grafters and Professional Leader The Fight Is From Grafte Fellow Men of the Negro Race Greeting: Just at this time there is a well organized propaganda and conspiracy engineered by a combination of forces known and unknown, seen and unseen, in the United States of America, and different parts of the world to undermine the powerful influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in uniting Negroes everywhere. This propaganda and conspiracy is being conducted on the one hand by some of our one-time slave masters, who have never been able to outlive the idea that the Negro should be anything else but a slave, and on the other hand by a cheap, brainless, conscienceless, treacherous, disloyal band of Negro reprobates who, like traitors of all causes, national, secular and religious, are ever willing to sell themselves for the thirty dirty pieces of silver. It is difficult for me to explain thoroughly and as clearly as I would like to the complete make-up of the combinations that are now organized to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the futile hope of preventing us from realizing our great objective of an emancipated race and a free and redeemed Africa. Men of the race, you must understand this, that the cause for which you right, which is to liberate yourselves, industrially, commercially, socially, educationally religiously, politically, and to establish a great nation of our own in Africa, is a purpose that is beyond the intention of certain people towards us as a race. They do not desire to see the Negro anything else but a slave, a peon, a serf therefore, any idea that could tend in any way to make the Negro a full man, self-respecting self-reliant independent is an idea that will be fought by them to the bitter end. All kinds of subterfuges will be brought to bear upon the great issue of liberty for the race, so as to thwart the realization of the great plan. Strategy diplomacy and counter plans of all kinds will be resorted to to defeat the noble work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association They, our hereditary slave masters, those of them who are narrow-minded enough to still oppress the Negro, when they find that they themselves cannot strike the death blow for destroying the everlasting hope of the Negro for freedom liberty and true democracy, will employ men and women of our own race probably pay them handsomely so as to carry out the dirty work, and today we are face to face with such organizations. Organizations of Negroes who are working under the whip lash of our ancient masters, and who are now moving heaven and earth so as to perform the service they have been paid for, that of endeavoring to defeat the great cause of Negro liberty. This propaganda has been so reared and engineered that they receive their support from all quarters, so as to be able to fight the great and noble movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you will read between the lines of the many articles that are written in some white and colored newspapers, you will easily detect the propaganda that is being waged against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is unfortunate that it is so, nevertheless, we must admit that some of our newspaper men and some of our so-called public men have not yet caught the vision of the higher spirit of service. They are still willing to sell themselves, their honor, their loyalty to race, their self-respect, just for a few dollars, caring not from what quarter it comes. And so the great fight is on, the fight for Negro liberty, against the skillfully planned and designed campaign engineered and fostered by our old slave masters, and by the cheap good-for-nothing Negroes, to ever keep us on the grindstone of economic, social, political and independent national and international needs. When it is considered that they have been able to influence and pay and keep even some of the men whom we ourselves honored in electing them to positions as leaders of the people, you will realize how far flung is the cam- URDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 NEW YORK URDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1821 On to Save the s and Profess Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the World Over Called Upon to Stand Solidly Behind the Red, Black and Green ALL NEGROES ASKED TO BE LOYAL TO CAUSE FOR LIBERTY paign to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But traitors we have always had and traitors we will probably never be able to get rid of. Some of these cheap good-for-nothing Negroes are now trying to turn our race into Bolsheviks, through the money that they receive from anarchistic quarters, so that it can be said in another fire or ten years that Negroes are Bolsheviks and are anarchists, and therefore we cannot harm them at large; we must either deport them from this country or that country, or get rid of them somehow or the other. This is the secret plan of a certain class of our enemies who desire to bring about the immediate downfall of the Negro, so as to make room for the greater white population that is to come, and the Negroes who advocate their cause have no better sense, no better loyalty, no better conscience, than to accept money from them, and wage relentlessly a campaign for converting Negroes into anarchists and Bolsheviks. While on the other hand, another class of the same old slave masters who desire to bring about the downfall of the Negro hand out subsidies to the more intellectual class of our so-called leaders, and inspire them to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to prevent Negroes from being organized the world over for their own liberation in Africa and their own economic emancipation everywhere. Such Negroes you know, you have read their writings in their magazines, in their newspapers. I now warm you against them. Then still we have some of the same old slave masters who are bold enough to give out in public print and write disparagingly about our effort to free the race. It is a pity that we labor under such disadvantages, that we have not had that schooling in diplomacy and in public affairs as to make us grasp immediately the intention of such sinister movements; nevertheless, those of us who are enlightened, it is our duty to point out to you the great danger and as I write this week I trust that Negroes everywhere will get to understand that there is but one fight that must be waged to the bitter end—the fight for our own liberty, our freedom, our emancipation everywhere, and in waging this great fight for liberty, be careful that we accept not the advice of the ancient enemy, be sure that we accept not the leadership and the guidance of the ancient enemy, because we will only be courting our doom. Negroes who go about and advocate better relationship between themselves and other people are the Negroes who are going about in disguise to keep you in slavery and in bondage. All sensible peoples know that there will never be any better race relationship between peoples until all peoples occupy the common standard for development, and for any weak race of people to talk about a better relationship with other races that are strong, they are only wasting time, that time that they should have given to improving their own condition. Negroes who talk about better race relationship are the fellows who are being paid to deceive you and let you believe that by being satisfied with your condition and by looking up to some superior master for everything that you will be better off. That time will never come. All that I can advise you to do is to get together with your moral, financial, intellectual and political strength the world over, and by a great combination of effort move even the rocks of Gibraltar in your enslaught against injustice, iniquity and slavery, so as to achieve by the destruction of these obstacles that liberty that you so much desire. Negroes, I advise you the world over to watch yourselves. Your greatest enemies today are the men from within who are endeavoring to stifle the PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. A TEN CENTS IN FORGION COUNTRIES Negro Race ional Leaders great longing hope you have had. Some of these wicked Negroes receive the pay of others to defeat us. They go out with glaring programs telling us that they are fighting for the redemption of Africa, telling us that they love Africa so much, when all that the grafters need is to get some money from whatsoever source it comes and to sell out the race when the highest bidder comes around. Watch these so-called champions of Negro liberty. We have had them sell out the race in the past. They will continue to sell out the race until you yourselves set an example for them and make it expensive for Negroes to deceive Negroes. Men who claim that they lead only for a living are the fellows that you must watch every step of the way, and we have many of them today who lead only for a livelihood. The idea of leaders confessing that they lead for a living! Ask them what they have lost by being criticised, and they will tell you that they have lost their chance of a livelihood among the people. Such leaders, who make leadership a profession and not a service of love, are the men who will never help us in better conditions. Let us take great leaders like David Lloyd George of England, Charles James Hughes of Attica and Monsieur Brland of France. Do you think such man lead for a living? Do you think such men look upon the leadership that they give to their race for the pay that they can get? No, never. They look upon it as a service for their race, a service to humanity, a service of love. This is the kind of leadership that Negroes want today. Not "How much is in it for me?" not "How much salary will I get?" but "How much good can I do even by sacrificing, even by dying, for the cause?" I hope you Negroes of the world will stop for a minute and think. See that your future is imperiled and see that a dangerous attempt is being made to destroy you, to disrupt your spirit of love, of loyalty to self. Be guided, be guided, be guided. First of all, before you attempt to follow any man who comes out with any new program, especially the talk about the freedom of Africa, scrutinize him, analyze him, trace him even to his birth, and find out if he is a real Negro and what has been his associations, what has been his positions before he took up the cause of working for Africa. Yes, you will find many a man coming out today with his African scheme, but who can tell who is behind him? I would like to say much more, and explain much more than can really appear in public print, but I am warning you Negroes of the world, if you allow yourselves to travel in the wrong direction, remember that Marcus Garvey from the profoundest depths of his heart warned you. I repeat that these destructive agencies are at work to defeat you in that purpose for freedom, for liberty; destructive agencies are at work to reduce you to slavery; destructive agencies are at work to deprive you of your livelihood; destructive agencies are at work to keep you under live in the house that you now live in; when somebody else will occupy the place you now occupy, until the time comes when someone else will live in the house that you now live in; that someone else will occupy the country that you now call your own. Negroes, be warned, be warned; if you take my advice, you do one thing that is reasonable, do one thing that is possible; that is, get together, get together in America, in the West Indies, in Africa, in South and Central America, and organize yourselves into one mighty band; then we will have before us the greatest Negro organization ever organized in the world, organized by Negroes, led by Negroes, supported by Negroes. I can recommend you, therefore, to no greater movement for your support than that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is your movement; you organized it; you supported it in the past; you must support it in the future so that it can bring about that freedom, that liberty that we pray for. Trusting that you will abide by the advice that we have given you, and trusting our great Golf will guild us that we may overcome all the enemies now lined up against us, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President General. Universal Negro Improvement Association, New York, December 19, 1921. raitors and "Knockers" of U.N.I.A. Severely Indicted by President General in Masterly Discussion of "Insincerity of Men"—The Race Urged to Rid Itself of Such Vicious Parasites and Opportunists LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday night, Dec 18, 1921 — A musical program of rare excellence, in which Miss Revella Hughes and Mr. Edward Stello, one as soprano, the other as tenor, were the star, served as an appropriate introduction to the meeting held tonight in Liberty Hall, a vast assemblage packing the amphitheatre from one end to the other. What prompted the unusual size of the audience, doubtless, was the announcement that the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, would deliver a special address dealing with the enemies and those who are opposing the objects and aims of the association, in particular the new organization, of recent origin, called the African Blood Brotherhood, which has drawn to its standard some former discredited members of the U.N.A. As Mr. Garvey said in his opening remarks, "the fight is on, and a fight it will be to the finish." Nothing pleases the President-General more than a real fight, for when engaging in an intellectual combat he is in his natural element, that sphere of activity to which the extraordinary powers of his mind are best adapted; and it is in the arena of battle that his powers of eloquence in moving and stirring the people shine out most implanted. The Insincerity of Man Without naming in person any of his new adversaries, he took up the cudgels of the fight in dead carnet, using as a getting for the purpose the subject The Innocence of Man." The Negro he said, had suffered long from the deception practiced against him by false leader, by men who would accept money from the devil himself to do the hiding of others opposed to the race, and whenever men who were formerly active members of the U. N. I. A. and who held high office in it, deserved the organization and joined another that is antagonistic to it, it may be counted upon that they did so, either because they were not honest, or because their hearts were not clean, or because they were not straight, or because they had to go out into the cold. Is God a Plaything? Mr Garvey minced no words in denouncing those whom he regards as traitors to the U. N. I. A. and spoke of them in the bitterest language of rebellion. He read the oath—a most solitary one, which contains the word, "should I fall this cause, may the Almighty Architect fall me in the purpose of my life—taken and sworn to before God and by those who accept order in the organization, and asked the question, "Is God a plaything?" that man should take such solitary oaths and then deliberately violate them as if they can do no with impunity. A terrible retribution, he said, awaits such man, and he prayed God to have mercy on their souls. Some men had joined the U. N. L. A. he said, when all was risen; when times were good and plentiful; but now that there has come a change in the economic condition of the world, when unemployment is widespread and money is not plentiful, and big anilas cannot be paid, as in the past, when, in their opinion, with their short vision, the organization cannot perhaps weather the storm, they see fit to resonate their obligations and leave it, that they may unite with an opposing force, prompted alone by desire for individual gain or profit. Men of that type, traitors that they are to the race, he said, should be shummed and looked upon with scorn as not worthy of the confidence of the people, certainly not worthy of leadership. Great man in the past, who according to history, had been the best for pay, not for money, not for glory, but for the righteousness of their cause. In like manner those of the Negroes, who have its true interests at heart, who are loyal and sincere, do not desert the cause because times may be hard, or money not plentiful, but stick to the cause and stand by it through thick and thin, because of their faith in their righteousness and their love of their fellow-brothers and sisters. One former high officer in the U. N. I. A. had even adorned crocodile tears—variable raindrops, when the cape came in which he was to choose between the U. N. I. A. and the organization: he was serving; yet, he has proven recurrent to his cath and trust; and the pity of it all, is that men of high intellectual calibre will allow themselves to be discredited in this, and then go further by linking themselves with an organization whose policy is to carry out the cherished ideas and plans and purposes of the enemy of the Negro, and for all more mindful purposes, organization and mindful preparation, understand the thieves and confidence of the colored people in their own enterprises and organizations, which they do either through the weekly newspapers or the magazines. That the means for carrying out their work is forged by white people who desire to destroy the Negro industrially and economically, is unmistakably obvious, and that they are compelled by these unseen forces, may be seen in the fact that in many gives away his mind, without expecting some return. It is very long address yet has not mentioned of bordering for it was branched off the mind, that will make numerous and numerous reading for the members, especially of the A. I. B. and other non-commissioned of that kind. And furthermore begin the Prestigious Sale and would be conceived throughout, the week each week and into the week amounting to six weeks, be given to the opposition, and the N. I. B. will extend to end it. It is therefore to greet and welcome them. Ferris, literary editor of The Negro World and Assistant President General, have been listed in the fight as aides-de-camp to their great chief They rendered valuable service in their addresses, which preceded the main speech of the evening. Each shot for heavy shell and fire, causing irreverentations in the hall and fear in the enemy's camp, bowling over, if not actually destroying, not a few of their members. Sir William H Ferr's prefaced his address by referring to an article in the New York World of that morning commenting upon Rene Maran, a Negro of the Island of Martinique, having won the highest literary prize of the year in Paris, known as the Edmond de Goncourt prize. He quoted the article in all, and said it is a remarkable achievement that a Negro should win this fame prize. It shows that the Negro has more undeveloped talent than is usually supposed. Professor Ferris then launched into the so-called crusade against the U' N I A. and, in proof of his contention that the organization of worth the continued support of the Negro, it has manifested ability and stamina to hold on and to push ahead, despite all obstacles, as no other Negro organization or institution has done, and he added, it is only by showing this bulldog tenacity of purpose that any individual or race of people succeed. Mr Poston referred to Rev Dr Alexander McGuire, formerly Chaplain general of the organization, as "this intellectual giant, this super-religious being," he said, but quit the U. N. L. A. because he felt it was facing a time of finance' depression. The large sum of money the doctor had raised when times were good he thought a splendid achievement; but times the were different from what they are now, when it requires real work, real intellect to gather the shekels in, yet the organization is producing the goods, which are coming in daily. He said he knew him when Dr McGuire used to proach and lecture in white churches, because unable to make it among his own group, and now that he has proven false to his cath and obligation to the N. L. A. he thinks he did well to join the A. B. B., as that is just where he belongs. This latter remark seemed to meet the spontaneous and universal opinion of the audience. He added that all the numbers of the organization should do is to stick together and pay no attention to those men, who weaver they may be, who unscrupulously seek to spread false propaganda and deliberate lies throughout the country against the U. N. L. A. HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for this evening is "The insincerity of Men." I will read to you the cath of office that each and every executive officer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association took in 1915 and allowed as solemnly before God and man that they would all keep. Oath of Office "I. . . do solemnly and sincerely declare that I shall be obedient to the constitution and by laws of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the commands of the Executive Council. I shall obey those in authority over me and perform all those duties assigned to me to the best of my ability. I shall uphold and support the Declaration of Rights. I shall not encourage the enemies of the cause of African redemption and shall refuse to associate with all those who may be proven enemies to the cause of this organization. I shall uphold its principles everywhere and at all times. The cause of this organization shall come first to me in all my deliberations. Should I fail this cause, may the almighty God forgive me. To this cause do I pledge my life and my fortune for a free and redeemed Africa. Being now therefore in possession of all my senses I subscribe my name and swear myself in the presence of all this assembly and Almighty God to serve the Universal Negro Improvement Association faithfully, so help me God." A man took an oath before the High God and before the people; he swore assistance to cause; he swore his life, his fortune, his all to cause, and the people and the High God believed him. He went out into the world at the command of that organization to serve the people and to keep his pledge and his oath to his God. During the course of his career of service—probably for the first three of six months—everything came promptly; everything seemed so real that he was afraid of the financial outlook went; everything was catatrophe; for as personal, financial, expectations went, and his life was satisfied with his oath; he was satisfied that he made the oath with his God; and he was satisfied that he baked an oath with his people. But a great accomplishment came over the land; the people became poor; the people from an able to support as they THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 Tells People to Beware of New Organizations Sprunging Up Here and There—Are Generally Established and Fostered by Disloyal Members of Race, Who, For Pay, Serve and Carry Out Policies of Its Enemies SAYS FIGHT IS ON; REFERRING TO AFRICAN BLOOD BROTHERHOOD—R. L. POSTON AND SIR WM. H. FERRIS URGE MULTITUDE TO JOIN IN REPUDIATION OF FALSE LEADERS erally the cause for which the oath was taken as before, and a new turn came into the mind of the individual I serve the people in conjunction with others and the support that the people give must be divided up with others and I will only get a portion—a small share of that which the people can give, but I am known among the people the people know me, the people have accepted me as a great leader among them I am popular among the people I am a way from the cause to my own personal gain, so that all that the people will contribute will come to me and that I personally can be a trained "t That is the picture that confuses us this evening. These remarks reveal the inner workings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the hard economic depression among our people the world over. Things are not as rosy as they were two or three years ago and the personal self in each and every one says—Is it profitable to serve a people with what they can give or must I go out and get from the people on my own initiative all for without any regard for the cause for which I pledged myself before God and man! In those few words you have the situation before you. But those of us who respect an oath—who know there is a God, those of us who know that 400,000,000 Negroes are suffering the world over, what do we think of money, what do we think of salary when a cause must be saved? And so those of us who respect the oath we took to our god—who we are a appalled by the condemnation of our people have not changed—have no cause to play tricks with the people, have no cause to find excuses for resigning, have do cause for finding excuses to serve any other cause but the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I trust you will in this way follow me, because the thing is vital it is vital in that you are the ones to be deceived, and it is for me with the knowledge that I have, to see that you are not deceived. Have Suffered Through Deceptive Leadership We have suffered long because of the deception of those who have led us. Why have we not had bigger organizations than the Universal Negro Improvement Association before? Because of that selfish, "I'll" because of that individualism in each and every one who attempted to lead; and so long as that selfish individualism exists in the leader so long shall the aspirations of the people be suppressed, so long will the people be kept in bondage, so long will the people be kept in slavery Great Leaders Not Paid for Services Men and women, I want to take you back to the records of history—the history of nations. The great leaders who have appeared upon the stage of action and have lifted their people and their race from one condition to the other were men who were not paid for their services, but those who gave their services because of the righteousness of the cause. (Applaud.) The men who have gone out of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—can any of them give you an bone reason for leaving the association? Here we had one man who stood up before hundreds of us in convention and shed crocodile tears. He cristed, he wept as a child when we asked him—"whom this day will you serve"—in that he could not serve two masters, in that the giant intellect he was, he saw an approaching economic condition among our best; he wanted to secure himself the best way he possibly could, he wanted to remain in the Universal Negro Institution; association, get as much as he could from the association and at the same time use the people he met through the U N I A. I for his own personal and financially beneficial endeavor there would be equal to his experience he discovered immediately, stumbling blocks were placed in his way and when he came before us and was asked—whom will you serve?—he shed, I repeat, crocodile tears. (Laughter) A man who took an oath and said: "If I fail this cause may the Almighty Architect fail me in the purpose of life." No greater oath could make; no greater pledge could man give; and that man stood up and for nearly an hour addressed the crowd at the convention, and shed tears—big rain drops. (Laughter). And what was the cause? His rain drops were caused through the departure of $4000 from the Universal Negro Improvement Association and collect many more thousand dollars from the people outside under the guise of race leadership and devotion. And why were those tears shed by that man? Because he said he could not separate himself from his religious connections—his religious denomination although we never asked him to do it. We never asked any man in this convention of this movement to change his religious position. Mr. Maidney; be he, Methodist; let him remit; Methodist; be he Catholics let him remit Catholic; be he no man to change his religion—his faith in God; but we asked every man to be honest to the people and to himself and he cried. I cannot change my religious faith because I took the pledge and sacred catholic to serve my God in a certain denomination." (Loughey) And two weeks after, that man—the picture of whom is now before me, wended his way to a city somewhere in this country and stood at another altar and denounced that religion that he said he could not separate himself from at Liberty Hall when he shed thoserocodile tears, and said he could not give up his religion. He went there and denounced every religious vow he ever took in the faith to which he was connected and made new vows even as he had made new vows to the Universal Negro Improvement Association to serve this organization faithfully and truthfully and if he failed would God fall him in the purpose of life. Is God a playing? is God putty that you can give Him to you own making? If there is a God, then I know his judgment will come down upon the heads of those who commit sacrifice in calling upon him to witness that they would be true and honorable to the race and to themselves. I will go no further with such a man whomsoever he be, because you can see immediately the character of such a man. You know the man better than I do, because you saw when he shed those crooked to tears. Some of you wept, believing in the honesty of the man. And whosoever that man be, I am sorry for him and may God have mercy on his soul. And how can any man serve Africa and the cause of 400,000,000 Negroes better through the greatest moving force for Africa today—the Universal Negro Improvement Association? (Applause) What organization with force negroes today can you compare with the United Nations? (Volunteer None). When I ask the fight is on I do not mean with that little insignificant thing called the African Blood Brotherhood. It is too insignificant for us to think about it. I am not thinking about that. I am thinking of the greater propaganda that is being engineered by bigger minds—minds that are using these little insignificant Negroes to defeat the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the purpose of freedom and of liberty for the people everywhere. Insidious Propaganda to Divide the Race Study the cause of these little organizations springing up here and there and everywhere and you will find that behind them all is the master mind of the man who has kept you in slavery for 300 years. These little organizations are used as propaganda to keep us divided. Our fathers being ignorant of the ways of their foe they have believed the propaganda that divided them, but today through the spirit of God, through the mercy and grace of God we have a vision, we can see and we know, and because we can see and we know, we are able to fight to the bitter end to protect our rights irrespective of whom we do fight. You are fighting the master mind in the disguise of these little organizations, and as far as these little organizations go, let me tell you they are made up of different kinds of people serving different masters, but toward the same end. In some of them you have the leadership of the higher intelligence of the Negro, and they lead in the way that they expect so much from our hereditary masters that our people must do policies and adopt certain principles in bringing a relationship that you will never until you can knock somebody down and when you says "Brother I have to respect you." In this case of better relationships they use can improve conditions. Then there is another type—another class—the workingman of the opposing side. He also has plans by which he can divide the Negro. You must have heard of the movements called the Bolshevik, and Soviet, and Socialist, etc. These movements are being skillfully supported and organized among Negroes to turn the political attitude of the Negro in America and in this Western world. The competition of the Negro in industry is one that will not be tolerated by the white workingman. The white workingman in the main is a Socialist, is a Unionist, is an Anarchist, is a Bolshevik. He has become so because he believes that he is being unfairly dealt with by the capitalists of his race. The capitalistic element of his race as he sees it is organized to rob, to plunder and to exploit him; and he forms himself into different organizations—Anarchists, Bolsheviks, Socialists, etc., all organized to fight the capitalistic element of their own race. At certain times they go out on strike, and the capitalistic element of their own race when they go on strike, have always employed in many cases a large number of Negroes to break the strikes and sometimes they keep the Negroes in the position vacated by those on strike for six months or more, and sometimes permanently. The white workingman realizes that Negroes in the industrial is a Gangster and menace. to him, because in striking for better conditions they use Negroes against him and defend him. So he goes back and says 'I will get these Negroes to become Bodaliates and Bosheikha, etc. so that the oppressors will not employ them when they get to know they are just as we are because it will be a decision between two people who are of the same race. If a white man will give consideration to the white man if he represents the same thing as the Negroes. Warns Negroes Against Being Social Justices or Boisevants Therefore these Boishevats and Bochatais are shatteredly enduring to get Negroes to follow their political faith and if they get you successfully in their possession then you are doomed industrially and economically in this country and in the Western world because the captainates who can employ you will have no sympathy or mery for you. These Boishevats are substituting a group of lazy good for nothing Negro men in this community, who will accept money from the devil him self so long as it will give them an easy living, and I am warning you against these organizations springing up all through the city, because the engineers grouped up to destroy you while the other men of the higher plane of intelligence are using certain intellectual men of our race to talk to you about a better relationship with an other race which will never come I am surprised at the so-called intelligence of some of our men to link themselves up with such disreputable movements, which are really organized for no other purpose than to divide the Negro. You know what they fought the Black Star Line and tried to kind of propaganda against the Black Star Line. Because it is a Sino- idea that it is a Holocaust idea it is a Socialist idea that there must be no capitalists, that all that is to be done must be done by the State and they supply these Negroes with money to defray every Negro enterprise and Negro proposition, so that Negroes cannot have any industries and enterprises of their own. So that when you read these magazines and papers hitting against the Black Star Line it is only the carrying out of the skilfully arranged propaganda of those white people who desire to destroy you industrially and economically, and some of you have attached yourself to these organizations and advocate their cause. Confronting a Danger Period Lot me tell you that you are now confronting a danger period in your life and history and you have to study things and you must get those in whom you have confidence to study things for you and enlighten you on them if you cannot see them for yourself. U. N. I. A. Has No Alien Affiliations. There is one organization in the world that has no other affiliation or any connection in that which is purely Negro and that is the Universal Negro Improvement Asn. Any organization that you are among Negroes that seeks to have on its executive or advisory board or to accept money from other people of other races are dangerous organizations because when one gives away his money he expects something in return. And these thousands of dollars that are being given to organizations must be given back in return and what is given back will spell the doom and destruction of the Negro race. No Race Loves the Negro But the Negro Himself Soon or late retribution will set in and I pray God to have mercy on their souls, because indeed it will be a terrible retribution. A Movement Traveling Toward a Desert tiny You need not be nervous about what is being said and done. The U N I A. as I understand and as you understand it is a movement traveling toward a destiny. I am glad you appreciate it and know it as such, because that will strengthen your faith and confidence in it when things seem any way gloomy or any way dark. Like a government, the U N I A. must never rest, it must go on. If anything is wrong with the government all that you have to do is to change the administration of the government, but the government goes on and I trust that will be the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Change not your organization but if anything be wrong at any time, change the administration of your organization and let the organization go on forever (Appause). If those who have left the Universal Negro Improvement Association were men who had honest convictions their place would not be out to the association, but inside. Suppose I have a charge against the Chancellor of the U N I A. or against the Secretary General, does it mean that I must leave the association to that another organization to express this charge? Surely not my bar of justice of the U N I A. so that what was wrong could be rectified. I for instance, if anything should be wrong with me, I would not expect that Garvey has done a wrong. That is the common duty of each and every one of us. Just as when something goes wrong with the United States Government, the President of the United States does not go to Germany and tell them everything is wrong with the government hero. He calls his Cabinet and consults them on the matter and if something is wrong with one of the Cabinet officers, he will tell the government goes on, and that is the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Up to now, thank God they have not been able to find anything wrong with the heart and soul and the conscience of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that is why they are afraid to stand up in the presence of others and tell what they are supposed to know. What do they know? Nothing that is worth telling. And how strange it is that they have things to tell only when they are no longer in the Association. It is a peculiar human being who will only when he is out of a thing tell everything against that thing. But that is the way of our men, they are so little, so petty that they cannot see the bigger object to be achieved. Men of intelligence, men of education men of character would not seek to destroy a great world movement because of some individual personal dissatisfaction. That shows narrowness and selflessness. If at any time I were to find myself in position not to agree with the Universal Negro Improvement Association or with the objects of the mission my duty would be to step down from my position to become a member of the Association, because the ablest of men disagree on certain matters at times, but that does not mean they must become bitter enemies. Dr McGuire's Schemes Exposed I received two cables from San Pedro de Mocorita, to do tomorrow, that there was great confusion there. Money was lost. I was very sad. U. N. L. A. was used to purchase a. church, that there was a great division among the members. I wrote them instructions what to do. month after I received other cables saying that several of the officers of the organization were arrested. For what? Because of the church rivalry the officers of the organization were invigilated to become officers of the church. It was a new organization in churches were fighting the organization because of the taking one of their members under the guild, that the members were joining the N U I A. An appeal was made to us to help. After we knew the circumstances, we saw where it was unfair to the Universal to be hampered in this way all over the world by a church organization we knew nothing about. Liberty Halls were not to be used as churches, and we did not organize as any church. The result was, that we were determined that we would not be used in that way. We dispatched the leader of the Western provinces of the West Indies. Hon. Sidney DeBourg, at an expense of hundreds of dollars to San Pedro de Macoris to settle the matter. That expense would never have been incurred but for the underhand methods that were being used to undermine the strength of the association. Now, in my position as President-General of this great movement, what was I to do but cut loose from such men who were so mean and untrue to adopt such methods to extract money from the poor people. Again I have before me the picture of a man who would take the name of a high officer of the U N I A. and print it on a circular and send that circular around the world to the members of the U N I A. begging them for money without even consulting the high officers of the organization that he was using his name, and he never circulated any of those circulations in New York where the executive council could have seen them, but sent them to far-off posts where no executive officer could come in touch with them. But again a great master mind was foiled at his game, because probably there was a bigger master mind. It was a question of brine against aquatic, and the brine became the great intrepid, then he had things all bearing his way, somebody else had a thought that something was wrong and just a timely advertisement in The Negro World brought in these circulations from the foreign outposts by the hundreds, and we discovered the fellow what he was doing. We have all kinds of men fighting us, and among the men fighting us you will find men of the kind I have explained a while ago. But we have other men fighting us. We sent a man on a long mission at great expense. We furnished him with an outfit. We sent him along as an ambassador, probably as minister plenipotentiary, having our confidence given him. He was given certain instructions to follow and obey. He gets away from us in a foreign country, and when we could not see him, what did he attempt to do? To unwind the finances of the organization. As fast as we could cable the money to him he tried to put it to his own account. When he was found out on the spot and caught at the game, he had to fight and be taken away, and he knew. He was a vagabond, scamp and had to be kicked out. Any man who would try to get the confidence of another man because that man has respect for him, and say, "You are going out on a long journey and will not be here tomorrow, a certain check is to be presented to the bank for only $15, so if you will attach your signature now I will make the check out after you are gone." Having his confidence, the man signs the check, and when he is gone instead of making out the check for $15 he makes it out for $200. The man comes back and does not look at the book because he has confidence in him and does not ask what disposition he has made of the check. Letter on, however, he discovers that something is wrong in the bank balances, and he goes to the bank and guts the return checks, only to find out the trick that has been played, when the follow is kicked out. He goes to the bank of money he is going to tell what he knows. Such are men we have had to fight in the past, and such are the men we will fight in the future, and we will not stop until we bury them. So, my dear people of Liberty Hall, Negroes of the world—I repent to you what I said this afternoon, whenever you see men out of the Universal Neg ro Improvement Association, it is either because they were not honest, either because they did not have clean hearts, either because they had not clean hands; it is either because they were not upright, it is either because they were not going straight, why they have got out in the cold. The Kind of Men Needed The Kind of Men Needed The Universal Negro Improvement Association needs men of learning, of character, and we do not part with them easily. No we bog them to stay and when they show, we worthy we are glad that they go. I trust you all understand the situation now. And I trust you who make up the rank and file of this great movement will ever stand solidly as one mighty whole until the Red, the Black and the Green perches upon the hills of African victory. (Cheers.) To some of us there is morality in the oath we took: to some of us there is religion in the oath we took, and as men knowing there is a God and knowing there is a race to be served, we shall not fall by the wayside, but we shall continue faithful to our view and do the best we can to amanipate.

The meeting broke up in disorder after the speakers (who were denied a hearing) had snaked out and the Pastor of the Church, who turned up on the scene in time to save the situation, had ordered the gathering to leave the Church as there would be no meeting. The police Reserves were requisitioned, but found no grounds for inference, as the gathering, though boisterous in their utterances refrained from committing any act which would be construed as disorderly. So the Police remained on the epoe and watched the proceedings, ultimately powerless to stem the tide of opposition which swept the audience of a total war.

Principal. THE MESSAGE It is a happy aftermath of the great war that the peoples of the earth are trying to arrive at a better understanding of each other, and that the nations of the earth are striving for greater co-operation in all of the things that make for human welfare. It is not surprising, therefore, that a similar consciousness should be found among the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. There is a natural desire, stimulated by the events of recent years, that Negroes in North America, in South America, in Africa, in the islands should all what we know more about what is happening to each group—all the things and aspirations to be found within the several groups, and to find some means of common action looking toward their improvement and advancement in every line of human endeavor. These 400,000,000 souls constitute a tremendous force in the events which are now transpiring upon the earth, a force whose influence is destined to be felt more and more as the means of communication between various parts of the world are improved and the facilities for production, manufacture and distribution are enlarged and simplified. Then, too, they promise to affect more vitally the currents of world thought and procedure as their own consciousness of their power and resources develops and they become alive to their opportunities and their possibilities as a part of world order. There is need at this time of wise, strong and intelligent leadership in all these various groups of Negroes, who shall, with understanding, skill and unselfishness, direct the footsteps of their brethren who are groping their way out of darkness toward a light that grows brighter and brighter with each succeeding year. They must be taught to be skillful, efficient and reliable— promoting it—men who have been eliminated from another organization having proved false to their vows or otherwise been found undesirable, and who have now gone out on the warpath on deavoring to destroy and frustrate the objects of an organization that is working in the interests of and seeking to unite and uplift the scattered millions of Negroes throughout the world. The fact that the meeting was convened in a church was the only cause that prevented a riot or some serious disturbance The African Blood Brotherhood is an organization of recent origin, at the head of which is Mr. Cyril V Briggs, editor of the "Crusader" magazine. Obtainably it was formed for the purpose of unifying the people of African blood but has digressed from its purpose to pursue a campaign of relentless warfare against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied organizations. This meeting was the first of a series proposed to be held by the Brotherhood to make what they call an expos of Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U N I A. L. The Brotherhood because of its hostile attitude to the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been a haven of refuge for a certain disgruntled men, formerly officials of the U N I A. L. those who work for others and those who direct their own affairs and play an independent part in the activities of industry and commerce that aurg about them. The Negro has not yet been entirely dispossessed of his natural claims to a share in the world's dongs. In spite of the deep-polling band of adventurers and exploiters in all parts of the world, there is still left to the race in all parts of the world some foothold on the soil whose resources await skillful development to their rightful owners to whom they will yield wealth and fortune for multitudes of human souls. At the same time three four hundred million Negroes whose future lies ahead of them bright with possibility and promise will fail of their ultimate and highest good if somehow they do not discover the way to a vital, effective and honorable cooperation with other races of men, with whom they come into ever enlarging contact. The time is not yet, if ever it will be that any group of mankind can have a long continued and successful development without affecting cordial and reciprocal co-operation with other races of men. The world has just witnessed the explosion of two ideas with which men have in the past been obsessed, the one, that any single nation or group of people can dominate the rest of the human family, the other that the nations and races of the earth can single-handedly overcome the difficulties which nature opposes to their advancement, or weaknesses and perversities of human nature thrust forward to hinder their progress. This much the dominant races of the world have been forced to consider at a terrible cost of blood and money toward which the darker races have been made to pay their share. It were incredible folly if the less favored people of the earth should deliberately and blindly rush into a similar catastrophe, having failed to profit by the mistakes of others. Mankind is challenged anew to a belief in the efficacy of that gospel of peace and good will, which this season has been bringing to our world for nearly two thousand years. Certainly there is need for such a faith. The homes and lives of myriads of suffering human families cry out for a leadership that believes not only in justice, in freedom and in brotherhood, but in good will, in faith, in righteousness as the means to achieve that goal. If ever human events can prove the futility of lapped of empathy, of bitterness, of cruelty, of injustice for the past decade, has given us that proof. That man that nation, that race, is wise that benefits by this dreadful example. And of all the people of the earth, these four hundred million Negroes scattered in every country and clime, have most to benefit and least to lose in heeding that lesson. S. E.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 TRAITORS AND KNOCKERS ARE SEVERLY INDICTED for misconduct in office or some other culpable faults have been eliminated from the organization. Among these are Dr George Alexander McGüine, the former Chaplaim General, Dr J. D. Gordon, the former Assistant President General, and Mr. Cyril A Crichow, who was sent to Liberia, West Africa, by the organization as secretary of the headquarters there. These three gentlemen were scheduled to speak at the meeting Sunday afternoon, but found things so unpleasant for them that they have doubtless discovered that they are lined up on the wrong side. In fact it is problematical whether the A B B. will ever attempt to stage another meeting in Harlem after the emphatic protest which was registered against it and the men who have allied themselves with the movement. The Negroes of Harlem see nothing in the movement but the attempt on the part of a few money-grabbing, solfah reactionaries to destroy an organization which they have been unable to use to serve their solfah enda. Too long have Negroes been exploited by such parasites, and they manifested in no uncertain way last Sunday that they do not intend to tolerate them any longer, but will put an and to their非offensive practices. The meeting was scheduled for 4.30, but before that, a large gathering was on hand, and it was decided to open the meeting. No sooner had the challenge made the announcement than a group of unanimous display symptoms of uneasiness. Murmuring a muttering goes from all parts of the church and increased in volume until it became impossible for any speaker from the platform to be heard.

FERRIS SPEAKS Your Excellency, Provostial President of Africa, Right Honorable Members of the Executive Council, Follow Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; I see that whenever there is a "errap" on, or in prospect, Liberty Hall is jammed to the doors, with people standing in the aisles and outside at the doors and windows, eager to listen to what is being said within. Before I speak tonight on what is the burning theme of the hour, I desire to read to you the headlines of an article in the New York World today "Negro Prize-Winning Nov. 11th" in Banking on Black Europeans Corrupted Simple Native. But He Does not Spare Blacks—Declares His Race is Treated as Lowest Animals. "PARIN, Dec 17 - Few literary events have created such a star as the winning of the Edmond de (concert prize by Rene Maran, the Negro writer, with his novel, Batauola). Maran himself will probably be the last person in the world to learn of his success, for he is now in the wilds of equatorial Africa, three days' march from Lake Chad. "Aowedly the apostle of his own race, Maran's book is not the passionate presentation of the cause of the demiens of the Dark Continent, which might be supposed, although he pleads in a vehement proclaim of his mission, proved brothers by the French Colonial functionaries. Maran does not flatter these duly inhabitants of the African brush. On the contrary the portraits in the crudest colors their hideous vices, the sorrid existence of masses who think only of sleeping, hunting, eating, and women "Marran is now writing a volume entitled 'A Black Looks on the White.' His own countrymen although proud of his success, are unanimous in their disapproval of *Batoula*, which according to the colored Deputy, Digne, will cause "more than 100,000 white men to form an unfavorable opinion of the colored people whose vices Maran revokes." "Many people in Paris are curious to learn the effect of this colored man's literary triumph on American opinion." A Wonderful Achievement I think it is a remarkable achievement for a Negro to win that famous novel prize in France. It shows that there is more undeveloped talent in the Negro Race than is usually supposed. There is a gentleman sitting in the audience here tonight, who came from New Orleans last week, and who showed me some sketches and water colors and pastel paintings which really surprised me. We do not know what talent is slumbering in the minds of our brethren. Tells of Crusade Against U. N. I. A. I suppose you are interested to know what I think of the present crusade the U. N. I. A. in my opinion, I don't regard it as personally conducted attacks olimax was reached when Dr. McGurdus rose to speak. Hardly had he begun than the audience laid a verbal barrage against him. Inventive after invective was hurled like rapid fire at the bishop which even his stenantor voice could not withstand. In vain he tried to speak but his every utterance was met with cries of "Traitor! Traitor! Liar!" and other such exclamations. Finding it impossible to go on, he made an ignominate retort and sank down in his seat. Dr. Gordon rose to deliver his address, but met with a similar reception and he too, sat down in disguise. So also did Capt. Cockburn, ex-skipper of the Yarmouth. The other speaker Mr. Crichloh could not be seen other in the audience or on the platform. Perhaps he was in close proximity, ready to answer the call if the meeting had taken a favorable turn. Mr. Briggs strutged about the church in nervous excitement. Phantoms of his tootling organization appeared before him, and he was so visibly embarrassed that he know not what move to make next the police came in but found nothing to do but watch the proceedings. Along a wall the murmured and grumbled, finally the doctor was insulted and did so amid the derivative chants and blisses of the gathering. Bill they remained, and not until Dr. Oliver pastor of the church, appeared and gave orders that the church be cleared there would be no meeting. Did they leave. Mr Briggs approached the pastor, requesting the use of the church for another meeting, but the pastor in a rage, flatly refused, saying that he had anticipated an occurrence of the kind. Thus ended the supposed mass meeting of the A. B. B. RO RACE GENT LEADERSHIP in Present Social Erup- and" to Co-operate KNOCKERS VERLY INDICTED have never pleased me. When I thirty-three years of age, in the South announced that I had produced "A History of the Negro Race," which elapsed anything written by any white or black man prior to that time. I was attached by Trotter and his crowd, Du Bois and his crowd, Booker Washington and his crowd, the professors of Howard University, by some of the preachers, by some of the politicians, and by some Cucusians, their displeasure being incurred because I had been unable to challenge the fathomity of some of their best thinking and shortfalls. But I paved my own way, and I waited until I had the evidence complete, and in due season I published it. Why U. N. I. A. Has Competitors In my life whatever I have had to do, I suited my taste on that, and haven't allowed outside criticism to disturb me, not that I did not appreciate it some times, but I realized that if I turned aside to reply to this man, and turned aside to reply to that man, I could never get my work done. Now, in life we have competition. WHEN over you see a man set up a grocery store on the corner and making it a success, some other man will start a grocery store right across the street or near him. Whenever a man goes into one kind of business and makes a success of that business, he will have competitors. Now, the U, N, I A have competitors. Marcus Garvey and the U, N I A have taught the black man to unite and to combine together in business enterprises of his own. That is why Dr Moses in Philadelphia is trying to build up something there, that is why the African Blood Brotherhood is trying to follow suit. Any time you have anything that is good, other men will follow you. Any time you establish yourself in a business and become successful, other men will follow in the same line, to get the trade away from you. That is the philosophy of the African Blood Brotherhood. Dr. McGuire's Story Of course you have all heard Dr McGregor's story. I am not an analyst of character to be able to know why a man changes his mind, but it seems from outside observation, that Dr McGregor had an ambition to be Bishop before he came into the U. N. L. A. and sooting Nigroes flocking to the U. N. L. A. he conceived the idea of a Garveyed Church. Then, when he could not realise his aim in the organization, he What it is About the U. N. L. A. That Continuing, Professor Furris said: The dominant idea of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is something that appeals to all black men, and to all Negroes everywhere. That is why we have coralied such large crowds. This idea of the Negroes getting together and building up race enterprises and becoming commercially and economically independent and building up an empire in Africa, appeals to all men and women. We are all stupendous financial projects we are trying to carry through, some men and women get discouraged and lose heart. I believe that an Negroes have an opportunity to learn and gather experience in business—they can succeed in business the same as other races. Sometimes when we go into business and cannot succeed at the start we get discouraged. But white men have their clan dominance and these empires trial. How to Win Out in the Long Run Here Professor Friese allied to several men in his own experience who he knew had started small, yet who after many years of patient waiting and much sacrifice in gaining the proper experience and knowledge of the business had made great successes. If we are to be successful in business, we must, as others do, take the bitter with the sweet. A great many times colored men fail in business because they lacked the hardship to hold on until times became better and it would be possible for them to succeed. And that is one thing to admire about the U N I A—that it has the stamina and the ability to olden and to push ahead however discouraging everything that has been done, and no institution and no race or individual can survive and succeed unless it has the grit and the courage necessary to face adversity and overcome it and wait for patience for the tide to turn. Those individuals, those races who hold on with bull dog tenacity and purpose are the ones who win out in the long run. Why the Organization Will Success I believe, said Professor Furia, continuing, that the U. N. L. A. will succeed because of the powerful spiritual force behind it. Soligman, who wrote an article in the New York World a couple of Sundays ago, thought only of dollars and cents when commenting on the Negro and the U. N. L. A. He thought that if the stockholders did not see the dollars pouring in right away they would become discouraged, but he forgot that there is a faith and a spiritual power behind the U. N. L. A. that is greater than mere dollars and cents (Apilause) And it is this faith and spiritual power that enables it to stand firm in the days of adversity and to hold on and wait until times become better and conditions change, when it can keep the expected financial fruits that are in store for it and its stockholders, through the adoption of a wise and conservative policy and management. Reasons for Belief in U. N. I. A. I believe in the Universal Negro Improvement Association because I believe in the inherent and the innate power of the Negro. I believe that what other men and what other races have achieved and attained the black man can achieve and attain. All we need is to have faith in one another, and when a man of our race attempts any big thing, whether in literature, art, science, finance or commerce, don't say he is crazy or a fanatic, or get discouraged, but remember that we must face the same trials and the same tribulations as other men face, and that if we only will have the fortitude to stand these trials and tribulations, and wait until the tide turns, we will be swept onward to success and glory on the crest of the wave of progress (Great applauses). B. L. POSTON SPEAK8 Your Excellency, Providential President of Africa. Members of the Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen—I was called upon tonight unexpectedly, I do not know what I am going to say to you, but I do know what I feel in my heart this evening, and if I were to say to you exactly what I feel like saying, you might become impatient, because it would take a deal of your time and I don't want to worry your patience. But I do want to remind you again that the fight is in (orries of "Yes!"), and judging by the enthusiasm that I see here tonight, I feel certain that victory is going to be on our side (applause), because we are in the right Mentlana Dr. McGuire Someone said to me that he thought the good Bishop McGuire left the organization because he felt that we were facing a time of financial depression—men were out of work. I want to think as well of the bishop as I possibly can, and I don't want that thought to possess me and get the better of me. I certainly don't want to think that this intellectual giant, this super-religious being, I don't want to think, friends, that he would have been so small as all that. I heard it stated during the convention that, through his labor, he brought into this organization several thousand dollars. I though it a splendid accomplishment. It took a few months ago, men could get money without difficulty. You had a-plenty and you gave a-plenty. It didn't take a great deal of effort for a man to do that, but to bring money into any organization at this time requires real intellect, real work. Do you mean to say, Dr McGuire, that you doubted your ability to deliver the goods at this time—that is why you left this organization? U. N. I. A. Still Producing the Goods But I want to say to him that, in spite of the time, men are producing the goods, and the goods are coming into the office of the organization. (Appease.) And those who left because they were afraid, they are going to be disappointed if they think that this organization is going to fall. And, my dear friends, you who think we have lost a great deal in this mind, you want to get that out of your mind. I will not question his power as a leader. I knew him years ago, and there were no great crowds following him and hailing him then as a great man. I knew him in the days spoken of by his William Ferrie, when he spent his time lecturing in white churches unable to make it among his own group; and I tell you, friends, the man who has made his living in that way is not the right man: not a man to hold high offices in an organization of this kind. (Cries of "No!") And I think he did well when he went to the A. D. B. organization. That is just where he belongs. (Laminier.) To Go! Together the thing is that An obligation. I want to say my think we have got to do to us to stick together. We wouldn't even mention these names.

THE SACRED HILL OF DAN- VILLE [Written at Danville, Ill., September 21, 1921, at midnight at my living quarters in the eastern section of the city, on the hill which overlooks the bottoms of Stoney Creek. Near by the bridge that spans the stream is the Triumph Spiritual Church, where I spent tranquil days amongst the Ethiopian saints during my visit here on route to California.] While Ephraim slept I stole outdoors At twelve o'clock at night. And o'er the hill on which I stood The moon rose wondrous bright. A gully rent the hill apart Just like the gap that tore My heart when Ephraim said good-bye And Black Belt days were o'er. The breezes rustled forest trees Like sobbing, drenching rain. Wept o'er the Black Belt's oppressed sone To rouse my heart to pain. And, as I listened to the sob That rose with every breeze. I fancied Ephraim beckoned me Where shadows robed the trees. The banks above the gully spread Their laws like hardy hands. The moon decked them in braceists gold. Would all with flowery bands. And Ephraim I thought I saw Gaze on the raptured scene. I caught the glimpse of phantom flag Striped Red and Black and Green. A noise as though a clanking chain Were sudden flung to ground Came to mine cars—I know it rose Not from the sacred mound. It was she presence of the slave— His signal telling me That wheresover I might rove, There would his spirit be. The white moon pressed her face against Soft pillows in the sky. As I have leaned on Ephraim's breast In happy days gone by. Some hand I could not see reached forth And spread a snowy veil Above the moon like tender hands Spread sheets o'er faces pale, And saddened me, for tragedy Revealed in shifting sky The secret hidden in the heart Of Ephraim and I. The morning glory bowers flung if it were not for this fact. I am a newspaperman. Such training as I have had in life has been in that line, and I know a little something about the newspaper games! At present, the colored press of the country has not reached that plane where it plays square with the people who buy it. These men—I had almost said scoundrels—are taking advantage of that situation; they are sending broadcast their propaganda—unscrupulous editors. Some of them, I wish to state, are square, but the other, the unscrupulous kind, are assisting them in their efforts to spread lies throughout the country; and because of that condition we find it necessary to stop the spread of lies, and let them have a ray of light, that they may see the truth of the whole situation. Otherwise we would not even give them a moment of consideration, because they are not worth it, and time will prove to us all that they are what they are. My parting word to you tonight, therefore, is, stick together; stand by and help carry forward the program that we have set before you, and all will be well. (Applause.)

For nearly half a century he had stood before the world as America's most distinguished man of color. Possessing a commanding personality, a loine countenance, strength of intellect and mobility of character and endowed, in addition, with the natural gifts of an orator, Frederick Douglass would have made himself felt in any land and age in which a man was given the opportunity to rise. Then the fact that he was born a slave, had escaped from s'avery and risen to such dazzling heights of fame lent a dramatic interest to his career. In his day he had no serious rival. Although Samuel Rongo Ward, Robert Purvis, R Brown Elhott, William Howard Day, Bishop Daniel Payne, Rev Alexander Crummell, Hon Ebenezer D Bassett, among his contemporaries, and Richard T Greener, George W. Williams, Prof. William S Scarborough and the gifted Grimke brothers, of the younger generation, surpassed him in education, what Frederick Douglass learned by years of association and intimate acquaintance with America's and England's greatest scholars and statesmen, his prudence and superlative oratorical gifts enabled him to remain the dominant figure in Negro life until his death. The only man with personality and eloquence to match him, Dr. J C Price, the founder of Livingstone University, used a year before Frederick Douglass. Hence when Frederick Douglass died there were a growing number of rising educators, preachers, lawyers and politicians, but no one outstanding figure and personality. The Southern statesmen, the Northern philanthropists and the Associated Press selected one Dr. Booker T Washington, an industrial leader of Tuskegee, Ala., and ehdevored, until the day of his death in the fall of 1915, to install him as leader of the Negro race. But the attempt was only partially successful. Besides the Methodist and Baptist preachers and educators, who, like Rev Reverdy C Ransom, Prof John R Hawkins, Dr W Bishop Johnson, Dr W A Credit, equaled or surpassed him in education and oratorial ability, there were men like Dr W E. B Du Bois, Prof Kelly Miller, Hon Archilald H Grimke, Prof William S. Scarborough, Prof William H H Hart, Prof William H Richards, George W Forbes and Dr R R Wright, Jr., who towered above him intellectually. Then Negro students who were pursuing advanced graduate studies in the leading universities of the land were beginning to come into the limelight. While Dr Washington possessed great tect and diplomacy and unique gifts as orator and educational organizer, he was not big enough intellectually, not heroic enough in personality to dominate the other leaders. Hence we had instead of a Negro king in America a score of powerful feudal lords or barons who wielded great influence in their respective communities or religious denominations. Dr. W. E. Du Bois led the conservative and William Monroe Trotter the radical wing of the opposition to Dr Booker T. Washington. The fact that Dr Du Bois was the first Negro to win a Harvard Ph.D. and possessed a graceful literary style, a manly personality and polished manners in the bargain finally resulted in a few Northern philanthropists selecting him as their favorite. But he had the same difficulty in becoming a Negro king that Dr Booker T. Washington did. In the first place the number of colored men who could deliver brilliant addresses and write brilliant articles on philosophical, psychological, scientific, sociological, economic and literary themes was greater than in the days when Dr. Booker T. Washington was in the height of his power. Then Dr Du Bois was not enough of a mixer and popuar orator to mobilize the masses of his race. So we had until the advent of the U. N. I. A. no Negro king, but a large number of powerful feudal lords and barons, with Dr. Du Bois the most powerful. The U. N. I. A., which was launched by Marcus Garvey and thirteen intrepid souls in New York City in February, 1918, swept over the world like a tidal wave until today it numbers its divisions by the hundreds and its followers by the hundreds of thousands. When one man from Panama wrote its two years ago, "The people on the isthmus regard your movement as a religion," he explained the secret of its psychic influence among Negroes. Christianity swept the Graeco-Roman world because it taught poor men and slaves to feel that they were men. The U. N. I. A. electrifies the Negro world because it teaches black men to feel that they are men.* A number of rival organizations have cropped up with similar aims and purposes. That is quite natural. Let a restaurant, a grocery store, a fish market, a department store, a clothing store, a hat store, a shoe store, etc., start in any neighborhood and gather in the polis and similar stores will start in the same community. For men instinctively gravitate to regions and localities where money and plenty of money circulate. So it is quite natural that the unparalleled success of the U. N. I. A. should cause other men to form similar organizations. It is now a question of the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest. The fundamental and basic principles of the U. N. I. A. are destined to make it for an indefinitely long while a recognized factor in building Negrity life and deity. And its leaders will be recognized as among the real leaders of the ebony hued peoples of the world Were Frederick Douglass living today he would find it difficult to remain the one outstanding Negro figure And the race can congratulate itself that it has not one strong man, but a score of strong men in the world today The race is on the upward trend and will more successfully in the future grapple with pressing problems. W H F personal liberty that the Preside church was not what course to Following it in African Rede known as the A STRIBLING ON THE WOMEN OF TRINIDAD T. STRIBLING, the novelist, contributed an article to the New York Evening Post of Saturday, December 17, 1921, on "Women in the American Tropics," in which he speaks of the lack of "sex solidarity" among white women in Tonga. For the benefit of those who have never heard of him, Mr. Stribling is the author of that psychological novel, "Birthright," which is running serially in Century Magazine. This is the story of the return of Peter Siner, a Negro graduate of Harvard to the clush and grime of Nigger Town, a desident cityt in the heart of Dixie. The author delves into the inner consciousness of the Negro and is brilliant when he pictures Siner's reactions to his environment. There are times, however, when one is forced to acknowledge the superficiality of his hero. Things he does are open to question, and once more the question is raised, "Who is best able to portray the Negro, a white man or the Negro himself?" In the article under discussion, Mr Stribling admits that "the colored women of Trinidad are becoming ambitious for their children. It is a highly interesting and significant fact that nearly all the Rhodes scholarships and the governmental scholarships awarded in Trinidad go to colored boys or Negroes." The author goes on "A certain Negro woman in Port au Spain made her living by peddling mangoes. She was thought half crazy. She went from door to door calling T for teef (thief) An' C for cat Here are your nice mangoes! And it turned out that the old Negress really was steeling mangoes for her stock in trade. The mango grower, could not stop her. She went to the mango orchards before day and picked up the fallen fruit. There was no way to keep her out, and her condition was such that no one would prosecute her. So she continued making her rounds, shouting the absolute truth. "This Negress had a son. She kept him in school on the proceeds from the mangoes. He won the Rhodes scholarship and specialized in surgery, and the old Negress added him even in Oxford with her mangoes. He is now one of the foremost surgeons in one of the King's colonies—it is obviously wise not to say which one "Endless tales are current in Trinidad of Negro boys sent to school half starved, half clad, who carried off the colonial and Rhodes prizes. I myself visited the different courts in Trinidad the barnstars were uniformly men of color. Precisely the same conditions prevail in Demerara. Now back of these ambitious black boys are ambitious black mothers. These women are declaring a dividend of energy, and this is the form it takes. "If there ever comes a woman's development in the West Indies it will be a colored woman's development" The heroic part a Negro mother plays in the evolution of the race is a story that is not yet written. One of these days a Negro Dickens will come along and, in his realist sweep, take in the whole panorama of irony, tragedy, heroes, sacrifice and achievement, and then the women of the race will come into their own The peculiar interest Mr. Stribling's article has for us is that it puts to flight all the lying and prejudiced stories some writers have been publishing about us. When Louis Siebold of the New York Herald visited Barbados and St Lucia a few months ago he created an uproar among West Indians in North America over the lopsided views he expressed of conditions there. Similarly, Isaiah F. Marcosson, in his book, "An African Adventure," paints an ignorant, parasitic Congoese who does nothing but eat and get drunk and run errands for his pot-bellied master. Likewise, H G Wells, the British publicist, while admitting interest in the intelligent type of Negro, feels that the diamonds, pearls and prudacious riches of Africa are too good for the native. Back of all this propaganda is the purpose—clean cut—to discredit the Negro in the eyes of the world. Marcus Garvey, Casey Hayford, Solomon Plaatje and Duse Mahomed Ali are living repudiators of it. In a review of Angola Grimke's "Rachel." Miss Mary White Ovington, chairman of the Board of Directors of the N A A C P, regrets that Negroes are prone to look at all literature, especially when it is about them in the light of propaganda. It might be martistic and all that, but the Negro is obliged to be suspicious of white people, and no less an authority than Edward Alsworth Ross, professor of sociology, University of Wisconsin, strengthens this contention. Says Professor Ross: "The man who tells us that he feels to all men alike, that he has no sense of kinship, that he loves the Kafir as he loves his brother, is probably deceiving himself." And don't forget, Professor Ross is a white man, expressing a white man's viewpoint. HIS HOLINESS, BISHOP McGUIRE GOD grant that the day will never come when men will cease to respect the cloth. But should that day come as it seems fast coming, is it not possible that some ministers will be responsible? One of the most conspicuous examples of a miscarriage of a godly profession is that of Bishop Alexander McGuire. This reverend gentleman has added another blot upon the fair name of the church, which remains for the God-fearing men everywhere to overcome by repudiating preachers of his type. At the recent international convention of the U N I A this gentleman, then Chaplain General of the association, resigned his position, giving as a reason that work in connection with some new church that he is interested in was such that he could not give the association his full time, as required by the constitution. The association, feeling that it was granting him a favor accepted his resignation in order that he might be able to devote his entire time to the work of the church But soon after his resignation Bishop McGuire began to take advantage of his former connection with the association by circularizing members of the association in the interest of his new project. Many members, believing that he was in some official way connected with the U. N. I. A., felt that as members it was their duty to contribute to his project, but before doing so they wrote the office of the President-General for advice, as the matter was causing some confusion. The President-General, not wishing to do anything to hinder Bishop McGuire's proposition, wrote him a very gentlemanly letter requesting that he desist from circularizing the divisions, pointing out his reasons for making the request, and at the same time telling him that he took this method as he did not wish to write the divisions regarding the matter or to give the matter any publicity that might injure the bishop. It was felt that the bishop, knowing the great program the second international convention had agreed upon, would consider the spirit in which the request was made and govern himself accordingly. But what must have been our surprise when on picking up a copy of the New York Age we saw Bishop McGuire's picture, the correspondence that the President-General had with him, and a whole lot of bunk concerning his personal liberty, etc. It was only after the raving of the good bishop that the President-General wrote the divisions that the bishop's new church was not connected with the U N I A, and directing them what course to take. Following this the bishop, to show just how interested he was in African Redemption, joined some kind of a secret organization known as the African Blood Brotherhood, said to be opposed to the program of the U N I A. We next find the bishop, who gave as his only reason for resigning from the U N I A that he could not give it all his time, giving six other reasons for resigning. Next we find him in court as a star witness against the U N I A, and even now as we write this article we have before us an announcement stating that the bishop, together with several persons who were once connected with the U N I A, but whose services the association thought best to dispose of, will deliver one of the principal addresses for an organization opposed to the U N I A. Thus is a brief history of the recent activities of this honorable bishop. It is not the intention of this association to criticize Bishop McCaine for joining another organization. He could have joined the Ku Klux Klan if he wished, instead of the secret organization he joined, with a similar modus operandi, and there would have been no complaint from this side. He is free to decide in matters of this kind for himself. But to behold this man whose tears (we wonder were they crocodile) moved the convention to sympathy as he expressed his great love for the U N I. A, now resorting to methods which even men of an unsavory reputation would hesitate to take, is a sight to shame the gods. But a little reflection will find another example of his present conduct. It seems characteristic of the man to seek to bring others down with him as he falls. When he found out in the August convention that he had to leave the association he tried his best to make the association expel other officers with him and he did not rest until he had produced enough evidence to have one of his best friends removed from office. A very laughable thing happened recently in court where he was testifying against the U N I A which further strengthens this point. When he took the stand he was asked by the attorneys whether he was then an officer of the U N I A. His reply was "No I am not and neither is the gentleman who just testified before me". This gentleman whom he had reference to was his friend, Rev J D Gordon, who was testifying on the same side with the bishop. It seemed that Dr Gordon was about to get away with something that the bishop was held up on and rather than have it done he would advance some information about his friend which the court did not ask. Of a truth he has that "quality" seldom found among men of his profession of wanting to pull down others with him when misfortune overtakes him. What does he expect to gain by this senseless tirade against the greatest organization on earth? The bishop is a brilliant man. But to see him in the role he has now assumed renders him almost tragical. May the God, whom he professes to know and to whom he pours out his supplications, deliver him from his present state of mind or else the fire, which he teaches sinners to shun, will consume him. Sulah THE GREAT GAME OF INTERNATIONAL CHESS THE Ocident and the Orient are matching wits in the greatest international chess game ever played by experts. The impassive Japanese and the shrewd, cool headed, far-seeking Europeans are engaged in an intellectual battle royal to determine which of them is to be the victor at the end of a wordy conflict on the question of disarmament Disarmament appears to be the objective of the Allies, but Japan hesitates to make the move on the chess board that the Allies seem anxious to have her make, and there seems to be good reason for her reluctance to move as rapidly as they wish her to. J.E.B. A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE From G. M. Johnson, Potentate of the U. N. I. A. "Behold I Bring You Glad Tidings of Great Joy" These words which were proclaimed by the royal hearth (twent) centuries ago be told a message of hope and cheer to the world at a time when all was dark and gloomy. And although men have rolled by with the message in as inspiring today to us as it was to the shepherds of old and bring joy to the hearts of all who are able to realize the fullness of the meaning. The message proclaimed on that the stains must brought joy and gladness to the hearts of men. As it did then it ever does besides it many poems as well for us as a race. It brought a message that a Christ was born into the world who would redemit His people from their sins. Tidings that there would be peace on earth to men of good will. Tidings that there would be a new order of things in their establishment of the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. How near these tidings have been realized by the world at large can be seen and felt by the conditions that exist today. Although millions of souls have been able to realize this joy spiritually yet there are millions more who are still in heathen darkness, millions of our race are in the slough of darkness and despair in ignorance and superstition. As it has been the privilege of each race of mankind to receive a measure of the blessing that has come to the world by the birth of the Christ. Yet the complete emancipation of any race from the thraldrom of sin and wickedness and the blighting influence of ignorance and superstition and self-dom can be accomplished by the efforts put forth by that race alone. Africa can only be redeemed by the efforts of the African stone from the painful effects of centuries of idolatry and superstition. The Negro race can only rise to the heights other races have obtained through its own efforts. The complete emancipation of the Negro race can only be accomplished by evolution, and that must take place within ourselves and our own initiative. It has been said by members of the white race that one of the greatest fallings of the Negro is not to do for himself what others would do for him, and that as a race they can not concentrate or combine their efforts in a laudable enterprise. But through the awakening influence 1. Dear Fellowma ROBERT L. POSTON INTERNATIONAL CHESS It are matching wits in the great-time ever played by experts. The une shrewd, cool headed, far-seeing intellectual battle royal to determine at the end of a wordy conflict on Disarmament appears to be the hesitates to make the move on the anxious to have her make, and her reluctance to move as rapidly J.E.B contate of the U. N. I. A.—and Tidings of Great Joy" of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in all parts of the world today the message of glad tidings and great joy comes to us in that it is pleasing to note that we have made this statement false for we are beginning to concentrate our ideas and efforts along all lines and have caused other races to stop and think what has come over us But although in a measure we have realized our responsibilities and learned how to combine our efforts, yet there is need for a greater awakening to race consciousness and fuller realization of our responsibilities and obligations to our race and especially to those who are looking to us for guidance and directions. One of the many lessons to be learned by us as a race at this season is that of sacrifice. When we all think of the sacrifice made to bring to these tildings of joy and peace" we will come to know that no great undertaking can be carried forward to any degree of such success without sacrifice. As a race we are wont to take things easy and expect to mount up to the pinnacle of fame and success with ease and comfort, but we must learn to sacrifice our selfish aims and our petty feasibilities for the benefit of the cause in hand, and learn the maxim of "the greatest good to the greatest number." The Universal Negro Improvement Association need men or lenders who will not think of themselves but of the cause, and understand they are instruments in God's hand to carry out His purpose for this race of ours, and think how best we can serve the organization and the race, and then, not till then, will be able to propagate successfully the principles of this great movement that is sweeping the world with its influence and give out in a clear and consoise manner the ideas of true racial uplift and improvement. Therefore the message I bring to you of "glad tidings and joy," members of the race, is that now as never before in the history of our race there is a world-wide awakening to self-conciousness and solidarity, and therefore call upon all who have means and talents to rally to the support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—that this Christmas season may be really and truly one of joy and gladness for the race, and we will do all we can in combining the scattered forces of our race and welding them into one great unit for the complete emancipa- --- Mr Garvey seems to think that when a bishop takes an oath he ought to live up to it. Doesn't he know that bishops can give absolution to themselves as easily as rolling off a log? What an oath, anyway, when hand-woven silk surpillices and solid (?) gold crosses and crucifixes and incense, etc., taintalize the ambition of clerical Worsleys and bid them rise Pope-ward and to glory? Mr Garvey must be dozing. Oaths are as fragile when subscribed to by some men as the thinnest China. Nobody of consequence keeps or respects an oath and when ecclesiastical honors are to be gotten by forewearing it, why the proper thing to do is to forewear it. "O keep the change and let the credit go." The bishop believes in "trying the spirits," which accounts for his excursions into the Baptist, Methodist Episcopal folds to see how the land lays. Now, he is a Greek, Catho'o, an A. B. B, and a peacherino. As a "jins" and a jumper, the Hopper Grass is a back number compared to this resourceful "theolog." J. E. B. A certain Hebrew gentleman, who was engaged in a small clothing business, from which he had amassed quite a tidy sum for the rainy day," after life a fitful fever succumbed to the grim reaper and was no more. He left a will in which he had made ample provision for his family consisting of his wife and two sons, who were to continue the business. Among other provisions of the will was a clause providing that his executor, after all expenses of his funeral had been paid, should expend $400 for the purchase of a stone to perpetuate his memory. When he had been dead about a year a friend of his, who had been present at the reading of the will, met the executor, who was wearing a very brilliant diamond in his shirt front, one day, and observing it, remarked: "I thay, Paw-cob, dot is a very expensive diamant you are wearing—it is bootiful. Where you git him?" "You remember," answered the wearer of the diamond, "dot our tear fren, launc, ordered in his will dot a stone be buysed to perpetuate his memory" "Yaw," answered the inquirer "Vell, dot is to stone. You like him" J E B HAVANA, CUBA, DIVISION IS OPTIMISTIC The financial crisis of Cuba and the consequent migration of West Indians struck the Havana division in its solar plexus, but thanks to the ring generalship of our president, Gerald M O Clarke, we succeeded in climbing the adversary, and intend to hold on until the gong of industrial activity shall again peal forth its welcome tones, announcing the end of the bitter struggle which has shown more clearly the necessity for a Negro State sufficiently strong not only to obtain for the Negro his rights, but also to secure respect for those rights whether he be in the Eastern or the Western Hemisphere The spirit of self-help and cooperation is reflected in our projected restaurant and Black Cross Society Under the mastery tuition of Nurse Jordan the Black Cross Nurses have made wonderful progress in first-aid instruction Meadams Haynes, Bruce, Myers and Miss Ruth Walken have acquired remarkable skill in bandaging.

DUSE MAHOMEF ALL, FAMOUS EGYPTIAN AUTHOR AND EDITOR, GIVES INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE ON "AFRICA" TO LIBERTY HALL AUDIENCE Says First Great Civilization of the World Came Out of Egypt and Was Founded by Black Men LIBERTY HALL, Nov 28, 1921 — "Mr President, Brothers and Sisters of Africa. It gives me extreme pleasure to be among you tonight. Although I am from Egypt, I have never forgotten that Egypt is part of Africa, and also that the first great civilization of the world came out of Egypt and was founded by black men" (Cheers) Thus spoke Mr Duse Mohamed, Ali Ffendi, famous author and editor of the African and Orient Review, before a large audience at Liberty Hall this evening. finances of the world the Jew makes and unmakes war, and the Jew by his money has purchased Palestine, and he finds it necessary to have Palestine as his objective. All the Jews do not want to go back to Palestine, but by having Palestine as their objective they can say that they have a country of their own, and from that background they can work many things in their interest I like the Jews you have a country "As you are perhaps aware these black people whom I believe comprised the original creation came from the white and blue Nile into upper Egypt twenty-five thousand years ago and founded the first grand civilization of the world. This civilization, because of the evils they had committed, was swept away at the time of the flood, and then another black or Negro civilization was founded ten thousand years ago by the sons of Ham who were black In course of time these people who began to sin again as their forebears had done found their country invaded by a brown race of people, principally from Arabia and these are the people whom the modern writers would have you believe were the original founders of Egyptian civilization. This is absolutely correct but we have nothing to do with that. I am speaking now particularly about the black people and the original founders of that civilization. These people scattered in the North East West and South of Africa and you will find their descendants to day on the other portion of the African coast which is Egypt and I see before me today the descendants of these very people who had founded that very civilization thousands of years ago in Egypt. Now owing to the Western civilization which the majority of you have received—and received without question—you have naturally assumed that the only civilization that exists or ever did exist was the civilization founded by the brown man, yellow man or white man. As a matter of fact the books that you have read are books written by white men. These books have always discredited any antecedents of the Negro, and in consequence of that in course of time you began to believe that you did not have any civilization, that you was a savage country, and that you should be particularly grateful to the whites for having brought you to this country and given you civilization. Black Man Congueror of Spain There is a point I would like to mention the Moors who conquered Spain were not brown men, nor yellow men nor white men. There were brown men among them but these formed only a small portion of the large Moors army that conquered Spain. The conqueror of Spain was a man named Mura or Moses, and this Mura was a Negro a black man. Later on we find a number of professors in universities at Cordova and Bevillie, and these black men—Negroes—kept the lamp of learning alight in Spain at the time when all Europe was in a state of barbarism. If we get back to the people in Africa, the people from whom we are descended, it is assumed from the history books you read that these people are either as or semi-savages, but I can assure you from my visit and from personal observation they are nothing of the kind. They might not have what you call civilization or what a friend of mine terms paralysis but they have not only good executive ability and common sense, but they have that thing you have not got and that is contentment I take it that of the greatest good to be obtained in the world there should be no greater good than contentment I have relived considerably over the world and I have never seen a more contented and happy people than those I saw on the West Coast of Africa last year. The white man is prone to say that this contentment comes from a sense of irresponsibility and is due to the fact that the Negro's childlike. Not necessarily so I should say that if the black man is childlike he has a better chance of getting to heaven than the white man, because the founder of Christianity said, "Unius ye be like a child you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven" (Applause) Diplomacy of the African Now in regard to the acumen or diplomacy of the real African the man who is considered a barbarian by the whites or a real savage. I will relate an incident which was brought to my notice in Nigeria, in regard to an old African chief. At the outbreak of hostilities, this chief was approached by a District Commissioner, who came in haste at night and requested the African chief to supply him with soldiers to fight the Germans, who would invade Nigeria shortly. The chief said it was not a matter with which he could deal, it was a matter for his council. And if the Commissioner would wait until the following day, he would put the matter before them and have their opinion. On the following day the District Commissioner wished upon the chief and his council, and the matter was, again brought before them. After a little consultation, the chief said to the Commissioner: "When you English came to this country of ours, you told us that fighting was not good; that fighting was the business of savages and barbarians. You told us we should till the soil and obtain produce from the soil. You said that these were the arts of peace, and ```markdown ``` --- It was necessary that we should pursue the arts of peace. You told us that inasmuch as fighting was barbarous, we should not fight among ourselves, and in case there was any incursion into our country you would protect our lands. In course of time our fighting men died now we have only men of peace men who till the soil wherefore then shall we have soldiers to fight the battles of England* Our men have become weak as women and they cannot fight but you. The British who came to our country and told us that you would protect us, we know you will keep your war, we know you will protect us, that the Germans when they come our borders. We will supply you in barriers, but we cannot supply you with soldiers, as we have no fighting men. (Continued cheers) African Life In West Africa it is also presumed that the average African is a gentle man who runs about with a small piece of loin cloth and lives for the most part, under a banana tree and wait for a banana to fall in his mouth. (Course all this is incorrect. In West Africa I found there agriculturists and a most industrious people. They till the soil reap the produce, and they are kept on a bargain. In addition to that they build towns of their own. They might not be towns similar to those you see here but climatic conditions do not make it necessary, they have mud houses with thatched roofs, and are not only clean but well appointed and suitable to their needs. As a matter of fact, I have lived for a few days, in one of these so-called mud huts, and not only was it clean but it was warm, and when the heat was high it was cool inside. The towns are extremely clean and the roads are kept clean by the natives, not because of the pressure of the English, but because each section of mud happens to be under some particular chief who keeps up this section. Again in the coast towns, where the natives have become more civilized, they for the most part are traders, and they are endeavouring to bring about some sort of union between themselves and you of the new world. In this connection I have a theory, and it is this. That you people who are here were sent by God for a specific purpose. Nothing happens in this world by accident, in the time long ago your forebears had committed things against the God-head for which you had to be punished. He in his wisdom greatness and kindness, sent you to this new world, because he knew what the economic development of the world would be. He knew that the Africans in Africa with their local knowledge could not adequately compete against the European when the time came for the European to seize the entire world, in consequence of that, he sent a number of you here to pass through much suffering. In order that you might acquire this civilization of the white man and take it back to Africa, for the purpose of enlightening your less-informed brothers. Back to Africa or Starve "Now it is foolish to suppose that you have nothing in common with your African brothers, he is stretching forth his hand to you all the time, he is calling to you all the time, it is true that you do not hear him, but if you listen you will fear the voices calling you back to Africa. Those of you who are citizens of the United States of America are finding that this citizenship is of no practical value to you, you are finding that gradually you are being pressed out of employment which you had you are finding that certain advantages which had been given to Negroes at the time of the reconstruction have been taken away and that gradually you are being driven to the wall. And the time will come when you will find that it will be absolutely necessary for you to go back to Africa or starve. In the West Indies the English have given you certain liberties, which you people do not enjoy in this country, but for the most part these are negative liberties. The British have no special interest in these islands, consequently you find yourselves there doing very ill, which I believe is the reason for the large migration to the United States, and you have always got to remember that wherever you are, whatever you do as long as you have a black face and you admit that any of your forebears were Africans, that you should always have Africa as your objective. Jews Purchased Palestine THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY; DECEMBER 24, 1921 finances of the world the Jew makes and unmakes wars, and the Jew by his money has purchased Palestine, and he finds it necessary to have Palestine as his objective. All the Jews do not want to go back to Palestine, but by having Palestine as their objective they can say that they have a country of their own, and from that background they can work many things in their interest Unlike the Jews you have a country It is true that the European has spread himself over the land, and has made stately claims and created spheres of influence, and even in some parts of Africa, the white man has become a South African, and the native of the soil has become a native. It is a huge joke. A white man cannot become an African as much as a jackass born in a stable is not necessarily a horse (laughter) Notwithstanding this—Africa is the property of the Africana, because God has made it so. Black Man Fittest of Humanity Black Man Fittest of Humanity Now it is a curious thing but a fact nevertheless that the black man is absolutely the fittest of humanity, and is bound to survive. He will outlive the white man. The white man is on the way now to destroy himself, and he will assuredly do so, and when he has done it, the black man will come into his own again. But there is something else in connection with this survival of the fittest. There is no climate where the black man cannot live, and work and breed. Up to latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes north and on the other hand 36 degrees 30 minutes south between these latitudes (which is the natural habitat of the black man) the white man cannot live nor breed nor work. Now the business of the black man is to prevent the white man from placing him between 36 degrees 30 minutes north and 36 degrees 30 minutes south, and making of him—the African in that area a slave to work for him in order that the products of that latitude be handed over to him the white man) for his special benefit. Black Heroes Greater Than White "The difficulty with black men is—that they know too little about themselves, and my advice to you is to sit about learning something about your antecedents. It is all very well to talk about Wellington, Nelson and Lincoln. They are all very editable, but they are not your people. You have got numberless black heroes, heroes who have done greater things than any of the men I have met oned. Heroes of whom you may well be proud, and these are the things I would like you to think about and find out, so that when you are approached by a man of a different race, you will have the answer ready for him. It is because you do not know these things, that you have not the proper pride in yourselves, and you have everything to be proud of, because you have the great civilization of Egypt, not once but twice. And you have also to your credit the fact that black men taught Europeans in Spain at the time when men in Europe were barbarisms. Now I beg of you to take counsels with yourselves, draw yourselves closer to Africa. There are many men in Africa who would be willing to correspond with you through the organ, The Negro World make of them brothers. You will be pleased to go to see them and when you are gone you will ask others to come to see you, because you will find the land really flowing with milk and honey, and a land which is really yours. I hope that if the time should come when I can be of any assistance to you the people of my mother (because my mother was a black woman and I am proud of it), you have just to call upon me if I am in this country, or write to me if I am in England, and I shall be only too glad to give you any advice and help I can. My brothers and sisters, I thank you. A GREETING FROM KETCHIKAN, ALASKA A GREETING FROM KETCHIKAN, ALASKA December 8, 1921. To The Negro World, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y. U. S. A. Dear Sirs! Inclosed you will find a United States postoffice money order to the amount of $24.00 for which please renew my subscription to the valuable newspaper known and published as The Negro World for one year at the advertised rate, which is $2.50. and the 10 cents is to purchase a Christmas number of The Negro World. I trust that my ordep reaches the office in time, as I desire a number of that Christmas issue. In my little town I am the only Negro man here. Yet I have some white neighbors who read The Negro World, and it is for me to tell the truth. They have read my paper and they say that to their way of thinking it is beyond a doubt "the best Negro newspaper they ever read." And I am sure that it is the best that I ever read. There is a school teacher here—in fact, he is a school "superintendent"—who has read some of the able and scholarly editorials of Sir William H. Ferris, and he declares that a man of such learning and super brain power, and of such extraordinary vision, should never have been born a "black man." The Northern educator has failed to give me an answer as to the martor of all Degrees, the Hon Marcus Garvey, it is really too bad, yet it cannot be # helped, that I have not even a limited education, so that I could have given this schoolmaster an answer to his statement that 'Sir William H Ferris should never have been born a colored man.' Well, I truthfully hope that this letter and order reaches the office O K. With the very best wishes for the success of The Negro World and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am, very truly yours. WILLIAM H WHEAT. Postoffice box No 981, Ketchikan, Alaska. PROF. LEO WIENER, OF HARVARD UNIV., WHO SAID AFRICANS DISCOVERED AMERICA BEFORE COLUMBUS, TO ADDRESS AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 15—The American Negro Academy meets in its twenty-fifth annual session in this city Tuesday and Wednesday, December 27 and 28. The evening sessions will be held in Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University Campus at 7:30 p.m., and the public is cordially invited to attend. Programs of unusual interest have been arranged for both evenings, and in addition to scholarly papers by members of the Academy two interesting messages will be delivered by eminent men of letters. Mr Lee Wiener, professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Harvard University, and author of "Africa and the Discovery of America," will deliver an address on "The Problems of African Civilization and Duse Mahomed All of London England, editor of the magazine, Africa and Orient Review," will read a paper on "The Necessity for a Chair in Negro History in Our Colleges." The opening session Tuesday, December 27, at 7:30 p.m., will be addressed by Mr Arthur A. Schomburg of New York, the president of the Academy subject, "The Negro as a Soldier in the Civilization of America" Mr L M Horshaw will read a paper on a timely topic, "The Growth of Negro Population in the United States" and Prof Alain LeRoy Locke, of Howard University, will speak on "The Problem of Race and Culture" As recent as November 1, of this year, a prominent American archaeologist wrote Professor Wiener concerning his "Africa and the Discovery of America" as follows: "For some time I have been anxiously waiting for the page proof or gallery proof of your new volume, which you promised to send me. I am eager to see it. Your talk the other day made a deeper impression upon me than I like to acknowledge, and it has the result of causing me to postpone the publication of my 'Manual de Arqueologia Andina' until after your book is fully out and until I have carefully mastered its contents. Though I do not go so far yet as to say that I agree with your views, I do say that you are clearly the deepest investigator of American aboriginal culture now working in this country. So like a wary automobileist at a grade crossing, I 'stop look and listen.'"

THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW Some Pertinent Facts About The Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey一Observe the Composition of "The League of Parasitic Enemies" Operating Against the U. N. I. A. LIVING LIVE THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION LIVING LIVE THE NEGRO RACE 1. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was and is organized to serve the Negro Race and has no other purpose. 2. Because of the selfishness existing among the more prosperous and educated Negroes it was hard to get the right kind of people to start and help the movement. Everybody wanted money for his or her services. Nobody was willing to work free to start the organization. 3. Marcus Garvey risked his future, his money, his reputation, his all to start the organization when all other educated Negroes called him a fool for so doing. 4. When certain people of color were afraid to be called Negroes and to mention the name Africa as related to them, Marcus Garvey stepped out in public, spoke for Africa, wrote for Africa, and made his attempt to dignify the term Negro. Men of the race laughed at him, they wrote and said unkind things of him. 5. He founded the "Negro World"; the so-called educated people of the race spurred it. They did not like the term NEGRO. Marcus Garvey was determined to dignify it. They would not buy the paper, so as to crush it. Garvey had a hard time to keep his ideals before the world. He spent all his hard time in organizing the movement. Several of the poor people of the race came to his rescue and donated about one thousand dollars to finance the Negro World. Garvey could not pay an editor; he edited, managed and distributed the paper himself. 6. It was all money, money, money; no one would help except "so small" in cash was immediately forthcoming. Garvey wrote his copy, took it to the printers, gave his promise to the printers that the bill would be paid. The printers printed the paper. Garvey went for it and took the bundles himself; he sold the papers and paid the bills for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. 7. Through Garvey's vigorous writings and messages, the Negro World found a way into the hearts of all true and patriotic Negroes. The Universal Negro Improvement Association thereby took a sudden jump upward. 8. Garvey took it that all Negroes were honest to themselves in race; he took it that all Negroes felt as he did. He contracted the debts on his own account, and he week after week printed fifty thousand copies of the Negro World and sent them to agents all over the world. 9. The agents robbed the paper of about $75,000.00. They sold the copies at inflated prices and never sent in the money. Individual agents who have since become the enemies of Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro World owe the paper amounts ranging each from $500 to $1,900. 10. Through the dishonesty of the agents, Garvey had to work twice as hard as the ordinary editor to prepare the paper and have it printed. Nevertheless the Association gained in membership and support through the universal circulation of the Negro World. 11. This time came when regularly employed help had to be gotten. Several men were employed and it was no longer Garvey alone. Several of the men who came were offered positions by Garvey so as to help them and to give them the opportunity to work in the interest of their race. They were offered living wages and given every chance to make good. Garvey had to overwork himself to gather the money to pay these men, himself going without any salary, scarcely being able to find food for himself. The public started to observe the growth of the Association. The ever suspicious of the race cried out, "Garvey is a thief, Garvey escaped from his country, Garvey is wanted by the police of his native land, Garvey can't go back to his country. Garvey won't allow any one else to handle the money, Garvey is flogging the people," and thousands of other unkind and uncharitable epithets were hurled at him for trying to do good, even though he never spent a minute in fall for grieve; even though he is respected in his country by all those knew him. 12. A "black" class of Negroes accused Garvey of suppressing the intelligence of the rest by not giving the "no-called educated" more responsible problems in the organization, even though Garvey invited everyone to leave the story; but the "no-called educated" remained out and away from the normal position to get by. 13. Garvey has now the organization everybody, and several of the "no-called educated" and "black" come in. They were placed in positions because they were incompetent, and what has happened? They have robbed. Being robbed and more often, as with the same of the organization. Some of the members, though, have not worked in jail. Some have started new organizations, and others have been so successful that made them successful. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1981 OU OUGHT About The Universal Negro Imp Observe the Composition of "The nies" Operating Against the U. 14. Through the dishonesty of some of the "so-called educated," Garvey has had to suffer many reverses. Business transactions and financial arrangements which Garvey was too busy to attend to himself and left to others opened the door for several of these "so-called educated" (whom he trusted to represent him) to rob and cheat the organization, and thus make it harder for Garvey to protect and represent the interests of the people. 15. As often as found out the so-called "educated" tramps and villains have been kicked out of the organization. Several of them have formed new organizations, started newspapers and journals. And some of the organizations, newspapers and journals, after collecting a few thousand dollars from the poor, innocent people, have gone out of existence; but the villains still hover around, connecting themselves with other papers and organizations that keep up a fight against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Garvey. 16. Observe carefully the composition of any anti-Garvey organization or paper and you will find there a congregation of dismissed, disgraced and so-called resigned employees of either the Universal Negro Improvement Association, The Negro World or the Black Star Line Corporation. All birds of a feather flock together. All villains keep together. 17. All honest and self-respecting employees and officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who started with the movement, who joined and were afterwards elected to office, are still with the organization. All the crooked men as found out have had to go. 18. Some joined the association to get popularity by their connection, and when they found that they could not remain in and exploit the association for their own personal purposes, have had to go. Things were made too hot for them. They had to go and swell the number of disappointed. SUGGESTION Put under examination the men who are now fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and you will find: A man now discredited by all well-informed religious bodies. A man who plays with God as if He were a plaything. A man who would take a dima from a dying man in the name of God. A man who at one time was a Methodist, at another time an Episcopalian, another time a Free Anglican, and then a Greek Catholic, all for the convenience of exploiting the innocent and unsuspecting Negro. A man who served a prison term in Panama and was extradited from his country. A man who, in the absence of his friend who asked him to protect his grocery store, got a hand cart and removed to his home several articles from the shelves of the front space and then filled up the space with articles from the back space. The goods were subsequently recovered, but only the pleadings of mutual friends saved the man from a prison term. A man who constantly collects money from the public to start a magazine or paper and then owns personally with his wife the magazine or paper afterwards, without giving the public a statement of what has become of the money. A man who has robbed several poor people and many organizations. A man who has illegally taken two thousand dollars in the name of the Black Star Line and who may be apprehended at any minute, as soon as certain legal technicalities are settled. A man who said that he is a leader of the race for a living. A man who has entered into a secret understanding with certain enemies of the Negro race to scatter all kinds of damaging statements about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that the Negro people will not support it, then set up some other organization to win their support over which the enemies will preside, thus defeating the cause of an independent Negro race and a free Africa—a rabid Socialist, who doesn't believe in Negroes or any race having businesses of their own, but that the State should own everything. A man who wants all Negroes to become anarchists and smash up all governments. A newspaperman who tried to rob the Black Star Line of $600, but could not get away with it, and now turns against the organization. A man so lazy and dishonest that he would accept a position and draw a salary without working for it. A man who has robbed the poor people of the neighborhood by taking their money under the guise of protecting them. E UNIVERSAL NEGRO ASSOCIATION SERVE THE MORNING A man who in Liberia got another man on his confidence to sign a blank check for him for a stated amount and then, in the immediate absence of the man, fills it in for a larger amount. This man was subsequently discredited and no one who knows would trust him afterwards, hence his non-connection with the organization Such are some of the "Great Leaders" who are fighting against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey. If race leadership must be bought at such a price, then you can make your selection. THE SPIRIT OF A MAN AND A CAUSE The spirit of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not to lead for monzy and what can be gotten, but for the good that can be done. What Garvey has done before he will do again for the good of the race. Garvey laid the foundation for the "AFRICAN CAUSE" and the true emancipation of the race. A few scheming Negroes are now trying to capitalize the Cause for profit. They lead for a living. Marcus Garvey is not looking for position. He is not looking for a living. He has a profession which he studied thoroughly before he started his sacrifice for the race. How many of those who oppose Garvey have professions on which they can rely for a living? Marcus Garvey would be glad if some real honest leader would spring up from the people to relieve him of some or all of the burden of handling such thieving and dishonest Negroes as have been put out of the organization, and as may appear from time to time. Marcus Garvey would be glad to welcome some more real leaders to relieve him of some of his duties, so that he could take a vacation after working for the race night and day for seven years, without any diversion or rest. Marcus Garvey would be glad to pass over his position and the salary he now gets to any honest leader who would lead the poor people and would not try to get rich at their expense. Marcus Garvey is personally poorer now than when he started the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line, the Negro World, etc. Millions of dollars have passed through the organizations over which he exercises control, but he has no automobiles, he has no mansions, he has no big bank account. For 75 per cent. of what he has earned is invested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and other Negro enterprises for the good of the race. MARCUS GARVEY WORKED FOR NOTHING Marcus Garvey worked for the Universal Negro Improvement Association for five long years before he was ever given a penny by the Association. He was just two years ago voted a salary of $50 per week for the presidency of the Black Star Line; afterwards, for a few months, he received $100 per week for the same position, receiving no other salary. After the dishonest people and the crooks had done so much harm to the Black Star Line, Marcus Garvey refused to draw any salary, trying his best to help the great cause. He worked several months without salary once again, until the convention of 1920, when he was voted a salary as President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He split the salary in half and got paid for about nine months. The major portion of the salary he drew was reinvested in the Black Star Line and the U. N. I. A., for the good of our Cause. Marcus Garvey has worked for nothing to serve the Negro race. He will at all times work for the Negro race irrespective of salary or personal gain. If there should ever come the time again when the race could not afford to pay its leaders for services, then Marcus Garvey shall be ready, even as he is now, to give his all, his money, his ability, his life for the Cause of Liberty. So no one hurts Marcus Garvey by asking with and supporting his enemies; they hurt themselves. For Garvey is not working for himself as his enemies do, he is working for the cause of the people. Ask the "so-called leaders" to do what Garvey has done, and see how many of them will be Negroes for a week. Members of the Negro race, watch your pocketbooks for those who are making after them under the guise of race leadership. They call Garvey a Dictator. They call him "The Big I Am," but if Garvey doesn't kick some out, jail them, drive them out, escaped the resignations of others, and ignored them, there would have been no real Liberian organization today. IMPROVEMENT FULL TEXT OF SPEECH DELIVERED BY HON. MARCUS GARVEY, PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA, AT BALTIMORE, MD. NEGRO MUST WIN HIS LIBERTY AND ESTABLISH HIS DEMOCRACY — WORLD MUST BE MOVED WITH ORGANIZED POWER BALTMORT, Md. Nov 22 - Mr Commissioner Mr President, Officers, Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Again it is my good fortune to find myself in the great city of Baltimore I have come here through the invitation of the Commissioner of the State, the Hon J P Harden, to speak to you in the interests of the great movement I represent. My subject for tonight is "The Negro Faces the World." For over five hundred years the Negro has been discounted. The other races of the world interrogated to themselves the right to enslave, to exploit, to dominate the Negro. For all that period of time the Negro made no attempt to prove to demonstrate his manhood. Such conduct on the part of the Negro continued for nearly five hundred years until 1914 when the Negro made a sudden change, a rightabout face to the world. In 1914 a new Negro was born to the world. (Applause.) And that Negro now faces the world. He faces the world with the deter- mination that what is good in the world for the other man is good also for him. (Applause) The Negro be- tween 1914 and 1921 realizes himself a man, and he asks what other man have done he is going to do or he is going to die. (Applause) Other men have won their liberty, their freedom other men have established democracy among themselves and the Negro of today is about to win his liberty and establish his democracy. (Applause) And in our desire to win liberty, to establish democracy, we are taking anything about it, we are taking open and loudly so that the world can hear and understand what we mean (Applause) The old fogy blowing and scraping, crumbling little Tom Negro is dead. (Applause) And the new Negro the new Negro of France and Lombard and Mississippi Jones is here. (Applause) He is here, and he is here to stay, with a vengeance, until Gabriel blows his horn. (Applause) Just at this period there is a world reorganization among nations and among races. The world reorganization will be for the highest expression of statemanship from every race and every nation. We have heard the exposition of hope of good will of determination from all the other races. We heard their expressions at Verona and we are now hearing their expressions at Washington, but they did not have the respect of honestly considering us at Versailles or at this Washington conference. They have not invaded us. But nevertheless we are going to speak out. Whether they like it or not we are going to speak for liberty and we do not care whom it offends (Appears). The Negro has undergone his apprenticeship in America for two hundred and fifty years. The Negro has undergone his apprenticeship in the West Indian islands for two hundred and thirty years, and he is a full-fledged student of political science (Applause). Political science teaches that every race ought to govern itself. And the races have now come to the parting of the ways. Japan is going her way. China is going her way, India will soon go her way, the Jew is going his way, the freshman is going his way, and the time has come for the African at home and abroad to go his way (Deafening the ears). We are not living in an age of sentiment. Understand that. We are not living in an age of emotion. We are living in an age of material truth material fact an age of practical achievements. You cannot move this world with prayer meetings. You cannot move this world with petition. You cannot move this world with begging men for what is belonging to you. You have to move this world with organized power, organized force (Applause). Organized force financially, organized force educationally, organized force physically (Applause). Men are not going to hear you in that practical world when you pray to them. Men are going to hear you when you are strong enough to knock them down (Applause). We have been praying for three hundred years. We are the only people who practice Christianity unidentificably (Applause). Civilization has developed to such a stage that everything is practiced scientifically today. Even if a man walks, he has to walk scientifically to get the best out of himself. There are some who can walk faster than others and further than others, because those who go the farthest are those who have practiced walking scientifically. Everything is run on scientific lines. And religion one of the great moving forces of the world, is practiced scientifically. And the Lord Himself meant that there should be science in religion, in your worship of Him, because He says you must work and pray. Negroes believe in praying without working (Laughter). Do you know what that means? Work means a great deal. Work includes a great many things—work to build your home, work to build your country, work to strengthen your nation. All that is included in the advice by God to work and pray. And all that: Negroes have done for three hundred years is to pray without working. Now we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are going to work and pray (Applause). And some of the work we are going to do first of all is to build a nation second to none in the world. (Applause.) There are four hundred million of us in the world, therefore, we ought to be able to build a stronger nation than Great Britain, because, put all the British Isles together, they have no more than sixty million people there. We ought to build a stronger THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE RESURRECTION OF THE NEGRO nation than France, because, put all the French people together, they have no more than forty-five million. We ought to build a stronger nation than Germany, because, put all the Germans together they have no more than sixty-five million. We are four hundred million (Applause.) And we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are going to work between the United States of America, the West Indies, South and Central America and Africa to build up in Africa the greatest republic ever seen and ever known (Applause.) And after we shall have built up the republic we are hoping for in Africa, we will stop the crackers in Georgia and Alabama lynching and burning Negroes (cheers.) Let me tell you, the only remedy for advantage and abuse of the individual or the nation is strength enough to protect yourself. And they will continue to kill, brutalize, enslave and exploit Negroes the world over, until Negroes get together and become sufficiently strong to strike back (Applause.) The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a Sunday school organization. Understand that. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a Sabbath school organization; it is not a social club; it is not a new lodge. It is a gigantic world movement that is sweeping the universe (Applause). Our policy is when you touch one Negro you touch 400,000,000 the world over (Applause). Something is going to happen one of these days. You let them continue killing and burning Negroes in different parts of the world. Something is going to happen one of these days. If you continue to crush the worm it will turn one day. And for 300 years they have been crushing and grinding the life blood out of Negroes. Negroes are tired now. They whipped my father into subjection. They wiped my father into probably a premature grave, but they will have a tough job whipping Marcus Garvey of today out of existence (Applause). Because you can bet on it, when the spirit of Marcus Garvey dies millions will die with him (Applause). We have seen our Gethsemane, we have passed through and climbed the heights of our Calvary and the time has come for our resurrection (Applause). The new manhood of the Negro race rechose the sentiment of Patrick Henry of Virginia of over 140 years ago. I care not what others may say, but as for me give me liberty or give me death" (Applause). I prefer to die fighting for my freedom than to live a slave. There is a large number there are many of us who are cowards at heart. Men and women do you know a coward daze a thousand times before his real death and a brave man but once. The time has come for the Negro to choose for himself the path of glory or the path of death. So long as I am a man and so long as I know myself as man I shall demand from the world a man's portion and a man's place. (Applause). And no man whether white or yellow, whether red or black, will take away that which belonging to me according to the divine gift of God (Applause). God Almighty when He said, "Let there be light" created all men. Whether we were originally black or white or yellow I am not here to discuss. I am not here to dispute or to argue pro or con I know this. Every man bears the image of his Creator (Applause). God Almighty never created a superman and an inferior man. God created man, and they speculated about me. Darwin and Huxley and the other scientists and speculated as to how they should classify the black man whether as the missing link, as the ape the monkey or as a man. And some of them speculated up to 1914. They were unable to determine whether the black man was a monkey and at that time they who called themselves men and supermen started a world war a world conflict, and when they were half the journey they found out they were not men enough to stop it, and they had to think. Then they found out there was a race of supermen who had the color of black, and they called 2000,000 of them to the front, and we acquired ourselves not only as men but as demigods on the battle plains of France and Pandora. (Applause). And, now that this world readintime is taking place, new that conferences are met all over THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1921 the world in Europe and in America—to decide the future policy of governments, of nations, of races, we want the world to understand that there can be no permanent settlement of peace without an inclusion of the Negro in democracy, in liberty in freedom (Appeause). The new Negro is determined not to return to the old-time order of things, and I feel that there are hundreds or millions of Negroes who feel likewise. We prefer to shake the pillars and like Sammon, bring down the temple if they will not give us our rights and hearten to our dearest for democracy (Appeause). We are not Souleys, we are not Boinehevets, we are not Socialists, we are notarchists, we are but men demanding our rights, and if those rights are denied we will fight and die for them (Appeause). The Negro loved peace. He has been at peace with the world for the last 2000 years. The Negro did the doors of war hundred of years and shuttled his award and to the world. Let there be peace peace perfect peace. The Negro lifted fifteen centuries ago to the highest planes of civilization and then breathed his sword. And he went into a slumber he apprehended slept for 500 years and we thought he was dead. The world thought he was not even man but knowing that the Negro had his day and was tired of war because he had exploited everything in his civilization. He had gone the limit he had even attempted to build the Tower of Babylon and he found there was no profit there. The N. thereafter returned to peace and kept for five hundred years and everybody misunderstood him took his intention. They believed he was to cowardly to fight. They did not anticipate the Negro, they did not know the Negro. The Negro in the greatest warrior the world ever saw (applause), but the Negro has been a sleeping giant for five hundred years. Like Sammon even though his eyes may be plucked out, he may yet astonish the world, he may pull down the pillars upon the Philistines. I say to the world today, "Get back to your other senses because you can still continue to inflict hardship and injustice indefinitely upon a race four hundred million strong be cause some time, somewhere one day that sleeping race may rise to consciousness." (Applause) And the Hun gave a splendid example to the world what organization means, what men can do when they get to together for one common purpose. I trust civilization will not provoke the Negro, that the Negro may get together again to rescue anybody for the harm inflicted upon him because it will be a sad one. No race can fight as boldly, as courageously, as tenaciously as a race oppressed. Let me tell you that No race can fight without any compromise, without any truce, as a race long enveloped fighting for its freedom (Applause) Everyone knows the fighting prowess of the Negro, but nobody knows the fighting prowess of the Negro. That is a paradox, nevertheless. It is true American history tells you of the gallant deeds in the revolutionary war of Cripple Attica at Boston, of the glorious exploits of the American boys in the Civil War American history tells us of the glorious exploits of the American boys up San Juan Hill, when they saved the great Roosevelt for service to his great country America. American history tells you of the great American boys in France and Flanders French history pays glorious compliment to the Negroes of Africa who fought under their banner, under the tricolor, in France and Flanders. English history recounts the exploits of West Indian boys who fought for the expansion of the British Empire in Africa fighting the Zulu fight in Spanish American War in the Mexican War in the War of 1811. Another leader led the war alliance and could have such glorious deeds as Neolithic Roberts and Johnson after white men fattered and fell at the battle line after white Southern soldiers ran away from the German charge, two Negroes of the New York Fifteenth war was chained up to the German crew and twenty Germans to back him back to the American life, and placed the Hirta and Bitten of Victory (that if two Negroes were able to do that fighting for white men how many will they be able to bring back fighting for the Revolution (Artist)) Now the Negro is not a fighter in the sense of fighting any trouble but the Negro is a fighter up until she started by herself (Artist)) And the Negro does not want to start anything The Negro wants peace The Negro loves peace The most charitable man in the world today is a Negro. The most faithful brother in the world today is the Negro brother. The most considerate being in the world today is a Negro. The Negro likes to live in peace with the white man The Negro likes to help white men to live happily. What is the matter with this man? Why will he not come to his senses? Why does he want the whole world? Why is it he wants other people's lands? Why is it he wants other people off, other people's wheat other people's iron ore, other people's gold and silver and diamonds* Man, what is the matter with you? Are you crazy? (Laughter) Why won't you be satisfied with what God Almighty gave you? If you happen to have found yourself somewhere, if it is in Europe, why don't you stay there? Why do you go into other people's countries, interfering with them trying to rob them? Don't you know it is going to cause contention, and war, and somebody will have to die? (Applause.) White man have you lost the sense that God Almighty gave you? Don't you know that there are one billion eight hundred million people in the world and you are only five hundred million. One billion three hundred million are dark people. Why won't this man get some sense? Why is he trying to rob Chow? What is he trying to interfere with Japan to rob India to rob Africa? Man you are looking for trouble. You will get it then (on no laughter) It was Lincoln I believe who said You may fool half of the people half of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Once upon a time they were able to fool my father and get away with it. He did not know how to put two and two together he made it live. This boy he brought out the world knows two and two make four. So if you were able to get away with fooling my father you can't get away with fooling this father's son (Applause). Afrika is getting awake. So, alumming Afrika is getting awake and God says the fellow when 40000 Negroes say any under the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green (Applause). The Negro seeks peace. I say he does not want any trouble, he does not want to kill anybody because the Negro knows that I Am created all of the book yellow and white to live in peace and fools. You are all children and I am the father, you are all brothers. The Negro is prepared to follow the golden rule. Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you! The Negro is willing to do that and practise that but the Negro says, Brother do not interfere with what is mine, do not try to rob me, because God Almighty gave me two hands, a physical body and if you attempt to rob me I am going to knock you down! (Applause). Once the Negro was foolish, but he was not foolish after all. A sensible man plays foolish plays the fool to become wise, and if they believe the Negro is still a fool, they make a big mistake. Bo the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing the spirit of the new Negro makes this declaration to the world. We are at peace with the world, we will have peace, we pray for peace and, more than all we pray that the great Son of God will give back to this world, we will restore peace to this world because we are in sad need of it. We are in sad need of justice, we are in sad need of mercy. But there is no justice, there is no equity; there is no mercy in the soul of the white man. God Almighty, on your throne where you sit tonight will you not touch the heart of the white man, will you not let him know, will you not let him feel that you created one blood all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the earth? O God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost, will you not touch the hearts of the nations, will you not touch the souls of the strong and powerful people of the world, to know that there is one common human brotherhood? O God send peace to this world, touch the heart of the world. O God, your sons and daughters in Africa have been suffering for 500 years their pretitions have been ignored and although we know you are a God of peace we ask what you are a God of war. We know O God that when anyone transgresses interfaces with your power we right in your domains you go war.

Four hundred million children of Africa cry out, O God, to thee, the Father of all mankind, for justice, for mercy, for liberty, for true human freedom. O God, will you forsake us now? We did not forsake you when in your agony you cried out to heaven for help, when you were man in the person of Jesus, the Christ. When Jesus came to this world to preach to all mankind the white man, who is outraging the world in the person of the Roman and the Jew caught hold of the Son of God and cried "Crucify Him!" Crucify Him!" And the people seized the Son of God placed upon His sheds a heavy cross and said to Him, "Hear the heights of Calvary!" Jesus Christ our Lord, can't you remember when you were in mortal agony and when you cried the heights of Calvary with the heavy crush, when you flipped and for when the white man in the person of the Roman soldier pierced your neck ("Cunt" or remember that it was a lock man or the person of Simon the Syrian who took up the cross and bore up the heights of Calvary) (Can that God forsake us how that we are climbing our Calvary and bearing our cross?

I am the last to put man against man, to cause man to hate man, because man has no authority over man. Therefore I am not here to preach race hatred. Some people, whenever the weak try to give expression to their feeling, call them revolutionists, anarchists, authorities and disturbers of the peace. They have called me all kinds of names. But if to fight for freedom is anarchy, if to fight for freedom is agitation, if to fight for freedom makes you a radical, then I am an ultra-radical Aye! I am for peace, but after liberty! (Laughter and applause.) If you can't get liberty) by asking for it, by demanding it) then get it by fighting for it. (Applause.) George Washington and those who lived in his time begged for better consideration for the Colonies and the British Sovereign refused, they petitioned and the British Sovereign refused. What did George Washington do? George Washington took up the sword and freed himself. Negroes have been begging for the restoration of Africa. Negroes have been sending up positions for the restoration of Africa. If you don't harm me we are going to fight next. Universal Negro Improvement Association does not urge up strife in America because the Universal Negro Improvement Association has sense and believes that this is a white man's country. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has gone deep into history and we have discovered, whether it is true or not that a white man, Christopher Columbus discovered this Goddess that after he discovered it some white folks came the Pilgrim Fathers—and found the aborigines and killed and buried them and took the country and by right of compass the country belongs to them. Then you will argue why did they bring us here! It seems to be a good argument logically but it is not a legal argument. Remember everything is doctely legal now. Morality does not rule the world. It is force and might the rules the world. Therefore morally we may have a right to be here but legally the white man is going to decide against you. Possession is nine points of the law. And this man possessed the country by killing the Indian first. Now Negroes, do not get headstrong and try to argue you have a right here, because when it comes to a showdown the white man is going to win. He will say, "I brought you here but I brought you for my own good. Go back into history and you will find when John Harkins was harboring to take the blacks from Africa, he approached the British Sovereign, and thus was the proposition he placed before her. He said, "In Africa these HEALTH SECRETS For Men and Women Keep the System Clean.

COMMISSION HEARS STORIES OF THE RAPE OF HAITI Slaughter of Innocent Girls and Wholesale Murder of Inhabitants Fill Record danto Domingo Dec 12 - The record of the first ten days hearing by the sematorial commission investigating American occupation of Haiti and the Dominican Republic was filled with stories of military atrocities against the defenseless inhabitants of these countries. Mme. Cellcook Rosier testified that June 19, 1919, she saw her eight children, seven girls and one boy, killed by forces unde Captain Brecker Lilidor Romain testified forces under Lieutenant William beat his mother to death and then compelled him to bury her body, while other witnesses told of similar atrocities. "What does Santo Domingo want?" asked Senator Pomerene in opening today's hearing of former American Minister Francisco Peynado. "Our independence, with assurance of American friendship," he answered. "That's all we want." Rene Marin's Novel Wins Coveted French Prize— Denounces Atrocities in Africa Paris, Dec. 14—The Prix Goncourt for the best French novel of the year was today awarded to Rene Marin, a Nevro. Its value is 5,000 francs, and it was founded by the Academic Goncourt to commemorate the name and work of the Goncourt brothers. To win it means for an author that his book will be among the best sellers of the year and that he will always command a good public. This year more books than ever before were submitted for the competition, and the voting today showed how close it was between half a dozen authors. In the end two contestators Rene Marin, who had submitted his book, "Batouala," and Jacques Chardone, with his "I. Epithalame," were tied, with five votes each. The ruling of the Academy is that in case of a tie the award shall go to the book for which the President votes, and in this case President Gustave Geffroy had voted for the former. Rene Marin is a native of Martinique employed in the French Colonial service in Central Africa and now at his post near Lake Tchad. His book, "Batouala," is a study of an African chief, Batouala, to whose country Europeans have come with their "magic, their wonderful inventions and their evil waves." The author in his own reflections denounces virulently the atrocities committed by French and other European administrators in Africa. The book is both unusual and written in a very attractive and pointed style, which will commend it to readers. THE NEGRO CHILD IN THE FIELD OF FINE ARTS The concert by the Martin-Smith Music School, inc., to be held in Carnegie Hall December 29, will be an important event in the musical history of the colored citizens of America. For the past six years the Martin-Smith music school has been a beacon light in the musical life of Harlem. The Exposition Concert will show in a concrete way the development of the school during this period. Among the distinctive offerings of the program will be a symphony orchestra, which will play Schubert's symphony in B minor and accompany the solistica. The children's orchestra of 19 young musicians will be a commendable hobby. Muriel Marshall, the young harpist, will appear with the symphony orchestra. Among other numbers on the program will be the Vivaldi Concerto for string orchestra, and two solo violins; the Rubinstein Concerto in D minor for piano and orchestra, and two Negro songs of Mathieu Lett, arranged for chorus and orchestra, harp and organ.

Very Distinguished Sir I have read your letter, great pleasure and I am cannot comply with your request. I do not write for any special little I have written have men and to all races. It is my opinion that discrimination or segregation people or race, establishes them, based upon color of all men should be judged equality, taking into consideration that it is obligatory on my sincere and determined hand countries that are in needress, so that they may climb. For this reason I believe dice that certain races have thus showing morality and the rule by which to measure. I remain, with all conscience. THE POETIC CONTROL THE WINNER I have read your letter of October 19, 1955 in great pleasure and I am very sorry to state that I cannot comply with your request for the reason that I do not write for any special people or race for the little I have written has been always relative to all men and to all races. It is my opinion that there should not exist any discrimination or segregation of any kind toward any people or race, establishing classifications among them, based upon color or creed. All men should be judged from the standpoint of equality, taking into consideration at the same time that it is obligatory on men and countries to lend a sincere and determined hand of help to those men and countries that are in need of development and progress, so that they may climb the scale of happiness. For this reason I believe in the abolition of prejudice that certain races have imposed upon other races, thus showing morality and culture, which should be the rule by which to measure men and countries. I remain, with all consideration, sincerely yours. (Signed) A OBREGON THE POETIC CONTEST—HOW THE WINNERS WERE SELECTED By SIR WILLIAM M. FERRIO, M. A. K. G. O. N. The first prize was awarded to Mr Charles H. Este, of Montreal, Canada, whose poem, "The Child Is Found," impressed us as a jewel of purest ray serenity. Its lightness of spirit, simplicity of style, beauty of imagery and rhythm of verse made it a real poem. Its aerial flight of the imagination, its delicate sentiments, grace of style and music of verse made the reading of it a delight. The Christmas sentiments expressed in it constituted it a real Christmas poem. The second prize was awarded to June Dadd, whose poem, "Yuletide Disarmament," we read and reread with pleasure. "Yuletide Disarmament," by June Dadd, was characterized by thoughtfulness, appropriate Christmas sentiments, simplicity of style and rhythm of verse. The flow of verse carried the reader easily and naturally along. But the poem was an argument splendidly set in verse, and there was not quite enough appeal to the imagination and the emotions to entitle it to the first prize. A story told or an argument set to metre which rhymes well is poetry. But unless there is a touch of the imagination it is not poetry of the highest class. As Lucien Watkins says, to state that the sun shines is prose, but to say that it smiles is poetry. Take those lines composed either by Shakespeare or Kents, "Moving waters at their priest-like task. Of cold ablution on earth's human shores." It was years since we first read those verses in an essay by Matthew Arnold, yet there was something about those lines that arrested attention and lingered in our memory. Mark the effect of the words, "Moving" and "Priest-like msk," "cold Ablution," etc. Now the poem of June Dadd, with its thought, sentiment and flowing verse, only needed a little more play of the imagination, a striking phrase new and then, to make it a poetic gem. As it is, it is a very readable poem. For two hours it was seriously considered for the first prize. The third prize was awarded to Mr Thomas Millard Henry, of Aburry Park, N. J., whose poem, "The Golden Urge" is characterised by suggestive thoughts, beautiful Christmas sentiments, felicity of phrase and rhythm of verse. Another third prize was awarded to Miss H. Elizabeth Dowden, of Hartford, Comm., whose poem, "The Christmas Morn," is characterized by beautiful Christmas sentiments, simplicity of style, beauty of imagery and rhythm of verse. The awarding of the third was a real contest. There were two other poems which the judges liked. One judge would prefer one poem, another judge another. Finally we took charge of the poems. And thirty-six hours elapsed before we could arrive at a decision. "Sing Out the Xmas Carol," by Miss Betty Hutchins, of Charleston, Ohio, and "Great Things Morn," by Mr. R. J. White, of Barnegatville, Columbia, were the other two poems. "Sing Out the Xmas (Translation) of October 19th in which I very sorry to state that I request for the reason that special people or race for the been always relative to all there should not exist any notion of any kind toward any among classifications among or creed urged from the standpoint of moderation at the same time men and countries to lend a kind of help to those men and of development and prog- on the scald of happiness be on the abolition of prejudice imposed upon other races, and culture, which should be sure men and countries moderation, sincerely yours. [Signature] A OBREGON Carola" by Miss Hutchina, was characterised by tender Christmas sentiments, brightness of spirit, simplicity of style and brilliance of thought; but the rhythm was not perfect. Now, we come to the poem of R. J. White, of Barraquilla, Colombia, entitled "Great Things Done." This was seriously considered for a short while as worthy of the third prize, but was finally eliminated. It is full of thought and characterized by simplicity of style and rhythm of verse, but it lacks naturalness, lightness of spirit and is more of an argument in verse than an appeal to the imagination or emotion. There is no objection to a poem having an argument for its substratum Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality," Gray's "Elegy" Bryant's "Thanatopsis," Tennyson's "In Momorium" have an argument as their substratum. But Mr White's poem only needed to soar on the wings of the imagination, only needed an aerial flight now and then to make it a powerful and telling poem. As it is, Mr White has some possibilities as a poet. The poem of Mrs Katie Fenner, of Denver, Colorado entitled "On a Christmas Morn," is one that we read with pleasure and considered at first as a worthy claim for the third prize. It is bright spicy and brilliant. It is bright in thought, buoyant in spirit, beautiful in sentiment, but not regular in rhythm. The verse are of unoven length in one place the expression is prosaic and commonplace. There are a couple of places where the metre is defective and rhythm imperfect. The poem reveals poetic insight, imagination, passion and phrasing, possesses lightness of spirit but lacks a perfect mastery of the technique of verification. It is poetry but not perfect poetry. We believe that good poetry can be written in any metre or in free verse. The latter has wonderful possibilities, but requires a master's touch. Mr Henry's poem "The Golden Lunge," did not impress us on the first reading as favorably as The Christmas Morn" by Miss Bowden or the two poems which received special honorable mention. On the second reading the lines— "When we spend all the Christmas Day In transient trends in circles gas The holly and the mistletoe Sustain the truth we ought to know Still in the hearts of many men The spirit of the Christ has been A golden urge against the dearth Of love and friendship on the earth Will know how every noble aim And liberty is nearer crowned' Because in Jesus' life is found Love's principle. O winds of God. Transform our arid, sterile sod! arrested our attention, and then we for two hours considered this and the three above mentioned poems for third prise. After that came the reading and re-reading of the four poems for the third prise. Had the third prize been larger we would have divided it between Miss Dowden, Mr. Henry, Mr. White and Miss Betty Hutchins. We have decided out of our personal resources to give the extra third prize. The sum is infinitesimal, but we desire to express our appreciation of the effort and the pleasure the two poems which won third prize gave us.

The race being destitute of a suitable leader has not advanced very far along the social political and economic ladder of life and the reason is because the leaders of the past were those who were not daring enough to end the race from the Egypt of a social political and economic oppression to the Canaan of a social, political and economic progress. The race has produced noble specimens of ministers, doctors, philosophes sociologists and barristers so distinguished are some of these men that the men of other races have pitted them on the shoulders and have styled them the stars' of the race. As individuals we can well be proud of them for what they have accomplished. Men of such rather can chant aarticle of self satisfaction for what they have made themselves. But let us remember that there is a loftier ambition than merely to stand high in the world as an intellectual giant. It is to stoop down and to uplift struggling mankind out of the mire and place him a little higher in the scale of human progress. This principle has deeply manifested itself in the world wide and food-approved organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association which organization strictly outlines and embodies the policy of Hon Marvin Garvey. This able inspired and invincible leader has pledged all that is dear to him in the service of his race. He is the chief exponent in promoting race-consciousness, race-pride, and a spirit of determination that the race may emerge from its cocoon of ignorance and subservience, and erase from the mind the sticky cloak of inertia. He has broken the cords of selfishness and has established mutual love within the race. He has taught the race to think in terms of empires, and to discard every antiquated idea and become an important and influential factor in the arena of the affairs of the world. Some men characterize all optimistic movements regarding the political, intellectual and national development of the race as a dream, never to be realized. Well, let them feed themselves fat on their delusion while men of vision and initiative prepare the way for the spring of such a surprise on them that will knock their views into oblivion. The brains of those pest-mists seem to be tied up as a dense mass in a cast-iron armor of ignorance, thus causing them to stumble before the great guns of modern reasoning. But let us bear in mind that the policy of the Hon Marcus Garvey is no innovation in human history. Edmund Burke in his speech on the "Reconciliation of America" declared that it is just as difficult to induce a slave to abandon his master as to get a free man to be a slave. What does that mean? It means that the Negro has so debased his dignity and weaves more strongly around himself the tangled web of subserviency, that he depreciates the efforts of others to place him a little higher in the scale of progress. We allow ourselves to be deceived by every mirage of friendship, and hence we become chilled by the cold deception of flattery and by making will power and initiative secondary to a desire to please those who are our oppressors. We slowly and wearily drag ourselves along, almost justifying the predictions of those who think we shall ever be a race suspended between barbarism and civilization, between pauperism and opulence between the highest and the lowest marks on the records of progress. In this slow and insignificant march Marcus Garvey comes along and saws "Your deathiny lies in your own hands. Travel faster or else you will be overtaken by doomday. His command met with response from four million black souls who fell in line with the organization that travels faster. And the four million Negroes did not fall in line because Marcus Garvey gave the command but they saw something significant in the command that bade them follow. This command also met with opposition from the elements which for centuries have been telling the people to leave it to the Lord. Let us bear in mind that in this material world it calls for something more than the mechanical reading of Scriptural passages and the weekly delivery of pulpit orations to effect a more satisfactory result Famous Druggy Discoverer Simple Remedy for Asthma and Makes Generous FREE THIAL Offer to Readers Thirty years ago Mr. C.

I DO NOT TREAT BY MAIL where the Negro problem is no acute As a race we cannot afford to be passive if we are to reach the goal of human progress. We can achieve that which is yet unachieved and can travel the path that is yet untrodd if we will but follow the leadership of Marcus Garvey the great apostle who with his unfalling courage, determination and diplomatic manifestations has demonstrated to the world that the Stock foundation of the Negros ability to do great things still remains unshaken uncrumbled unmarried by the flight of centuries and the atrocities of slavery still it stands the Rock of Ages by which he shall do, dare and accomplish that which men of other races have accomplished (Second Prize) Bv G. HENDRICK POWELL Antagonists of the Hon Marcos Carvey, the wonder man of the age and of the Negro race, and his policy of a racial resurrection for Negroes, will contend that because Negroes favor his policy they support and defend it. It is but natural to defend any policy one admires, but however great the admiration in the defense cannot endure the venomous attacks of the enemy unless the principles of the policy on which such defense is based are sound and able to bear up against logical and unprejudiced reasoning Mr Garvey's policy, however, has won the admiration of a great many who are not active supporters both of the Negro race and the white race. They realize that it is just and reasonable in every detail. They cannot undereat it, so they have to admire it. The saying 'If you can't beat a man you had better befriend him,' applies. It may be that many of the ardent supporters of this policy are unable to give expression to their conditions in defense of it. They, however, know and understand the basic principles. Still more they are agreed to a man that the existence of the race depends on the realization of the principles of this policy. The enemy with his craft confronts this class and rejoices that he gains a victory when he discovers their inability to combat his malicious attack. He wisely accuses the greater army of valiant heroes who in a short time would send him away broken-hearted to gather "wind for his sail." The policy of the Hon Marcus Garvey is the only completely sane policy that has been formulated down through the ages to solve the knotty problem of the downtrodden race. It may be conveniently considered under the following heads: 1. Organization of the Negro Race The past history of the world has proven conclusively that it is only by organization that races and nations have been able to establish themselves so that their existence may be realized recognized and respected by other races and nations. United we stand divided we fall. A house divided against itself must fall. A race divided against itself does not form the exception to the truth of those words of Holy Writ but must without doubt fall apart and at last be entirely exterminated. That the Negro race should exist as a race it is imperative that they be organized. Petty personal aggrandizements and all minor details that form a barrier to complete organization must be buried in the oblition of the past if this most important ideal is to be realised. The wisdom of Mr Garvey in so strenuously striving for complete organization must be evident even to his enemies. They know the sequence of organization, hence they do all they can to deter its success, but let them do their worst, the movement is moving like an avalanche and must eventually take all along with it. This principle of complete organization makes Mr Garvey's policy singular A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y.

Establishing the Race On the Motherland It is a legal and moral duty of a father to make ample provision for the comfort of his offspring and Almighty God would not be the exemplary Father He would if he neglected this parental obligation. Consequently He spent five days in providing an abode, with all in His wisdom He knew was necessary for the comfortable sustenance of His children. Subsequently He found it president to asign special sections to those who were to be the heads of great families, and to Ham, the ancestor of the Negro race. He gave the continent of Africa. If any man can show cause or just impediment why the descendants of Ham should be robbed of their Divine inheritance let him now, in the days when the race is awakening to its moral and legal claim, stand up and shout it broadcast over the known world or henceforth forever hold his peace and release his hold (on Africa) Avance and covetousness mastered the minds of the inhabitants of Europe and they, unmolested, left their homes, crossed the turbulent waters laid down as the lines of debarkation (would to God they were all swallowed up by the deep as the Egyptians were), ravaged and plundered the homes and country of the peace-loving race and by force of arms drove them therefrom into the four winds of the Earth on other men's territories as squatters The World's Famous In Have Found the Women and men, the time bas to the soap that grow hair on bald hair vigorous and prevents its fall your scals treated Hours from 9 only.

He has now raised up and inspired a man from among the race—the Hon Marcus Garvey—has given him wisdom and courage sufficient to demand the restoration of the stolen inheritance. The statesmen of the world are challenged to refute the justice of the claim. They never will because they cannot. 3. Establishing Essential Enterprises Industrial, commercial, educational religious and social enterprises are indispensable for racial existence. The power and influence of a race are measured by its development in these respects. By its enterprises it becomes self-supporting and independent - a race dependent on other races for means of support is not better than a legless" man without crutches. 4. Self Government What man would build his house and allow a stranger to be boss over him? No more should Negroes in their own dominions be governed by any other than their choice from among themselves. No compromise is practicable or acceptable. This policy demands restoration of our stolen Motherland and freedom of action which constitutes "Liberty."

Froststrathem WOMEN } Brilliant Ceremony at Panama Characterized by Thoughtful and Patriotic Speeches Negroes on the Isthmus of Panama with never forget Sunda) November 20 1921 a day which will go down in the history of Panama as a great and glorious one a day that 2400 members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communal League eager a looked forward to. All that had belonged to the Liberty Hall of the University chapter No. 4 of the L. L. and C. L. at the corner of F. and E. streets and other streets in Manhattan and from all directions of the city came and children wended their way toward Liberty Hall which was to be the scene of a great fire in the annals of the city and the property 44 acres long in chapter 4 granted to the chapter in honorable Marvin Carrion, the head of general of the organ station and the installation of the officers' elect. The hall was justly decorated for the occasion and from the outside one could see from a distance the color of the installation the red, the black and the green flaming from the flames while the decorations in the interior of the building were something beautiful to behold and will linger in the memories of those who were present. Hanging over the president's chair was a large silk flag of the nasal station which on the right was the national colors of names and on the left that of the United States together with flags of the various allied nations Lung before the hour set for the opening of the function larger crowds began to assemble in the hall, and at 2 15 p.m. when the meeting was opened there were over 3000 men and women of the Norwegian assembled in the vast auditorium, in which was taxed its current spending capacity whilst hundreds had to be turned away) unable to obtain even standing room and were compelled to join the vast concourse downstairs which packed the sidowalks in some instances eight and ten deep. A striking feature of this unique gathering was the picturesque note struck by the members of the Black Cross Nurses who in their white dresses with flowing vells on which the insignia of their organization was placed, reminded one of some ancient drud' festival when the vestal virgins led the stately processions in their sacrificial services. Their conduct was exemplary throughout the function, and on the whole there was a most appreciable body. In the musical reservation circle we were to see the Black Star Line Band the Lanaana Capital Band the Chorus in neatly robed and in heels to lead the whistle directly behind them and most pleasingly contouring with them were the members of the White and Blue Choral Union arranged in the face of the field. Healed and on the platform were the repertory seas from the Colon Division No 4 Commander Mitsis from the Salvation Army M H N Worland Editor of the Volunteer man together with the delegates from the various kindred societies in the city of Chennai. The meeting was called to order at 2:15 precisely to Brother H. N Whitaker, chapman elect, when the professional home from Greenland in Jey Mountaina was sung by the congregation and their which was followed by prayer from his chapman. The Patron Saint Band then rendered the Patronian and Ethiopian National anthems after which the chapman read the evening's lesson, which was taken from Produs 40th chapter, verse 15. He then gave an address of admonition to the officers and invoked the blessing of the Almighty on their labora. A bum was then sung by the choir, after which Brother I. H Stevens delivered the address of welcome and introduced Brother J. I. Millington, chapman of the Colon Division No. 4, as the master of ceremonies. Bro. Stevens said. Brother Stevens' Address Followmen of the Negro Race—We officers and members of the U. N. L. A & A. C. L. are very glad to welcome you in our midst this evening. The long looked for day has arrived (oheera), and looking over this rostrum, viewing the brilliant faces of the ladies and gentlemen who are overcrowding Liberty Hall at this moment, has filled me with enthusiasm. This evening we are very glad that in spite of all that has transpired we are here at this most august moment a time that shall go down in the history of the Negro race. We are here this evening to allow you to see clearly that the Negro has struck out on a new era. A few years ago they would say that it would be highly impossible to have a gathering of this kind, but we as Negro people have been awakened from our dormant sleep and are moving forward unto the goal. It has been said that the Negro has never been on the initiative, but this evening we are setting it down on the pages of history that the Negro is on the scene. I don't feel like infringing upon your time, but it has been appointed to me to name to you a gentleman in our midst, or a brother if we should go further home, in whose hands shall be entrusted a very important part of this prentage program and one whom we believe you will learn to obey and to request, and I have the great pleasure of calling upon Brother R F Millington chaplain of the Colon Division to be master of ceremonies MR MILLINOTON 8 ADDRESS brother MILLINOTON is replying to the last speaker said "Mr President officers ladies and gentlemen, also members of Chapter 14—it is with feelings or mild feelings, I would say that I stand before you this evening and my first feeling is that of appreciate and praise. Indeed, it has been to me a revelation to be here this afternoon and I go further and say that all my future life it shall be to me an inspiration. Little did I expect when asked upon by my president the president of the Colon Chartered Division who as you know is in very deep amusement with this chapter and represents a part of the work of the U.N.A.I.A.I. little did I expect that I would stand before such an audience as this this afternoon an audience of which Liberty Hall in the New York headquarters could not be ashamed. I go further and say that if ever there were anything wanting to make me have confidence in my race and to make me to believe that the Negroes on the Caribbean are coming into an united whole I say this evening a function in which will make me believe that this is possible. I am not here this afternoon so much to make a speech I am not very much of an orator I am as Mark Antony said in his oration over the body of Caesar, a plain bounty man who only speaks humble and you can rest assured. Mr President officers members and visiting friends that whatever comes from this evening by way of eulogy or that as far as it has gone I am indeed happy to be here. The first thing that impressed me was your enthusiasm. Enthusiasm that seems to overcome all difficulty, that will allow any obstacle and that is determined to surmount and overcome whatever may stand in its way in striving to reach the goal set down by his Excellency the Honorable Marcus Garvey Again let me say that as far as the Colon Chartered Division is concerned we are in deep sympathy with you, and the very fact that you see myself and the first lady vice-president of the Ladies' Division here this afternoon is proof of this. We have had no little difficulty in getting here, but we feel more than amply paid by the sea of forces the deep sympathy and the shower of appreciation which have been expressed to us when we first entered this hall I found that you have made strenuous efforts in order to approach and in order to heal that which has been broken in order to bring together and cement the bands of love which hitherto have not existed between the chartered division of this city, but I am persuaded that so far as I have discovered you have done your level best and that you intend still to do your level heat in order to heal the wounds that have been inflicted. (Cheora) UNVEILING OF CHARTER This unique and pretty ceremony, which was the "piece de resistance" of the evening, having been reached, silence fell over the audience. Miss V Niles then rendered a pretty retaliation, which was followed by a short address by Master W W Alvarez son of the first vice president, dressed in the uniform of a naval officer. Miss V Niles, together with Master Alvarez, then sang in unison a special composition entitled "Africa" composed by Brother B. Franklin Fraser and put to music by Brother Carl Elliot specially for the occasion, and at the words Then may this Chart a unveiling teach Then may this Chart a unveiling teach To all assembled here that each May strive to conquer and to rengh Thee. Africa the curtain which covered the charter was parted amidst the uproarious cheers and thunderous handclaps of the vast concourse of people assembled in the hall. The charter was then taken out and held before the audience for view, after which Secretary-elect Smith then read aloud the charter and the preamble to the constitution setting forth the object and aims of this worldwide organization which was formed by a Negro for Negroes. This being done, the chapter's choir rendered a beautiful anthem entitled "Sing Praise to God," which was well done and was the cause of loud applause from the audience. This closed the first part of the program, and the chairman then announced that the installation of the officers would then take place. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS This was a most impressive ceremony, and the members of the choir, robed in their clerical caps and gowns, marched up the long aisle led by General Mayers and his staff, together with the Admiral of the Iron Duke, while behind him were the officers to be installed. The chaplain, who was attired in his gown, was installed by the master of ceremonies, he in turn installing the officers, all of whom appeared in immaculate white attire, with the exception of the Male President, who were conventional evening dress, and the Lady President, who was attired in a charming creation of clinging black silk. During the installation of each of the officers the cha THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 tars chair rendered several songs which were very appropriate for the occasion. The office installed are as follows. J. E. Geddy, president; Charles A. Alvara, first vice-president; J. A. Conway, second vice-president; J. A. Baptista, third vice-president. Alfred O. Smith, executive secretary; John H. St. Louis, general secretary; B. C. Austin, associate secretary F. A. Sutherland, treasurer; R. C. Austin, associate secretary F. A. Sutherland, treasurer; R. M. Whitaker, chaplain, Mrs. Bridget A. Aird, lady president, Mrs. E. Niles, first vice-president, Mra. I. Browna, second vice-president, Mra. I. Henry, third vice-president, Miss Agna Clarke, secretary, Mrs. Florence Dinson, assistant treasurer, Messra R. Ward, C. A. Richards, C. Allen, A. Pittherbert and A. H. Jones trustees, while the Advisory Board consisted of Messra C. E. Lewis, A. C. Bishop, W. E. Craig, E. A. Squires, W. A. Rouse, R. T. Gittens, W. E. Joseph, C. O. Rocket, A. E. Charles, Charles Scott H. Poherby, E. Taylor H. Downes, James McPhun, James Phillips, S. L. Aird, H. Worrell, E. Bourne J. Ill. D. Morrita J. Alcee J. A. Bellarne B. McLean, and D. F. Cooper The honor of welcoming the Lady President was given to Mrs. D F Richardson, the acting Lady President of the Colon Division, who in welcoming her said, "I have very much pleasure in welcoming you. It is a distinguished honor to be elected as Lady President of such a chapter as this. I must say a few words to you regarding your duty. As the Lady President of the Chartered Chapter No 14 I congratulate and remember it is your duty to shepherd the women of our race. It is indeed a very honorable position and I trust that you will not only look upon it as an honor, but also as a pleasure to serve this noble race of ours." At the conclusion of the installation of officers the choir rendered an anthem, which was highly appreciated by the audience. President Gadsby's Address Mr Chairman, Officers, Members and Friends of the Guachapall Chapter No. 14 I am indeed glad to be in your presence this evening. I now at this moment have to thank you for the shower of esteem you have overwhelmed me with I have to thank you very much for the amount of esteem you have showered down upon me in that you have made me president of this Guachapall Chapter No. 14 of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. I want to assure you that owing to the authority vested in me through the constitution I shall go forward to use the same, and not misuse it. Gaxing, as I do, over this audience I am persuaded to ask you one question. What come ye out for to see? A read shaken by the wind, a man clothed in a long coat, or the beautiful faces of the gay ladies? I say no, these three things are not what you have come out to see. You have come to see, to hear, and to help carry on a grand enterprise—the unveiling of our chartan. An enterprise, I say, that has as its basis three great factors an enterprise that has benevolence, beneficence, and munificence. An enterprise started nine months and fourteen days ago, and today we stand second to none over the Caribbean waters. I shall not weary you out any longer, but I am only asking you of that you be loyal, for I alone can do nothing. I want you to be loyal to the Honorable Marcus Garvey, who is the cause of this colossal movement. He is the one who has got the vilenom and I am saying that I want you to keep it up, and the longer you keep it up the more we shall be able to conquer. Again, I have to thank you very much for the amount of esteem you have showered down upon me. I have to thank the chaplain of the Colon Division No. 4 for the very valuable services he has performed here this evening, and I sincerely hope that he shall take back to his division the kind regards of the Guachapalh Chapter No. 14, and let them know that we are with them, and at every call we shall be with them until the muffled drums and calls shall beat their last tattoo. We mean to go on in this good work, and let me say it would be easier to stop the sun in its daily course, it would be easier to wear the aurora borealis as an evening gown, than to stop the onward march of this Guachapalh Chapter No. 14, and we shall go on from gay heights to giddier heights, and our eternal habitat shall be Africa. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) The chairman commented on the brilliant address which was delivered by the president, and then called upon Mrs. Bridget E. Aird, the lady president, who also spoke. The speaker was loudly applauded, and the chairman commented very strongly on her remarks. The next speaker was the acting lady president of the Colon Division, Mrs. Doris F. Richardson, who gave a very brilliant address. The chairman then called upon the representatives of the Gambos Division No. 8 of the U N I A. and A C L. who also spoke. The Panama Capital Band rendered a selection entitled "Holiness Becometh Thy House" and was followed by an address by Commander Morris of the Salvation Army who said in part as follows: Com. Morris' Address Mr President, Mr Chairman and I want to open my heart and say, my brothers and sisters, for as I stand here this afternoon I am a 100 per cent. Negro and indeed I am very glad to be here. I feel like saying the same thing as was once said of a speaker who in addressing an audience said before he began. I don't really know where to begin, and before he was finished he said, well I really don't know where to stop; but with all the smiles and with all the jokes and with all the pleasures there may be with us this afternoon to me, as far as I am concerned, this is a reality. If we were told two years ago that we could have arranged in such a manner to get such an energetic crowd together we THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO ALMANAC FOR 1922 Will Be Ready for Circulation in the United States, Central America and the West Indies Before Christmas This second issue is a new departure, a twelve-page compilation and is a compendium of useful information, current and historic.

There will be portraits each month of the officials. Order early. Agents take notice. might have not believed it, but thanks be to God that we are here together this evening under our own vows and fig trees. We are here as a race, we are here as a people to encourage one another to stand by one another to get hands and hearts together and to push forward this grand cause with one God, one Alm, one Dearly. One object with God and our race soul. This is the Bible (holding a large Bible before the audience), and I am eager to see this book here. Others are books, but this is the book, and in costing here this afternoon I have one thought and I have gone through that book and found something that will help us. One question that was asked by Christ to the Apostle, and I refer to the Apostle Paul when Christ, in asking him the question said, "If God be for us who can be against self?" Dare what others may say or do wherever God is there is success, and as a Negro I feel that God is on my side, and wherever I meet it a boy of my race, a girl of my race, a bad of my race, a girl of my race, a bad of my race, a woman of my race, wherever I meet them and look upon them I have to say there is the image of God and since God is there, and since God is here, and since be is on our side we are going to achieve great things I want to speak to you about our children, the coming fathers of our race. We as the people fathers of our race for them, we must work for the education of our children to bring them up intelligently so that they can climb and be in a position to make us feel proud. We are here this afternoon listening to our own people rendering musical strains, looking at their many faces. We don't have to go to the other races to listen to their musical talent. We have our own. Continuing the speaker spoke about the great future that is in store for the Negro race and gave striking examples of great deeds done by Negroes and paid glowing tributes to the movement which was fostered by Honorable Marcus Garvey and concluded his address by saying, "May God bless this chartered chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 2,400 members strong, and may He cover your every effort with success and may we move on in that spirit until when time for us shall be no more we may be able to say like the great Admiral I have done my duty." The speaker was given a ben. y applause from the audience. The next item was an address by Mr H. N. Wahrm, Editor of the Workman Printery, who said. Mr. Walrand's Address Mr President, Officers and members of the U N. I. A. Ladies and Gentlemen. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be with you this afternoon. It is the first time that I have had the pleasure of being invited to any meeting of the U. N. I. A. since it has been established on the Isthmus of Panama. It is also a greater pleasure for me for the first time to have to speak to such a suspicious convoction of our race and I believe it is the first time such a gathering has ever come together for the race at any time on the Isthmus of Panama. As a newspaper man I have had to be very irritant; I have had to be aware of many things. There is another division in Panama under the auspices of the U N. I. A. I have watched them carefully. I have done what I could in their behalf and if I didn't do anything more it is because I didn't know anything more. Since you have invited me here this afternoon, and I am pleased with the invitation, I will be able in my own feeble way to do a great deal more for your organization. As newspaper man imagine many things. In fact, we create some things, but when we have facts and are able to sub- existents there we are able to do a great deal more. I am pleased to be here and especially to an organization as the U. K. L. A. for the purpose of this organization is for the consolidation of the Nagra race. I am a Nagra and I great joy as Nagra like myself and I believe that every diminished Nagra and any Nagra with any principle should know that the Nagra race is able to stand together. The one and only principle of the Workman newspaper since it has been established to for the consolidation of the Nagra race. I have not been able to do much in the past because the race was not what it is today. There has been a sudden awakening and it has been only in a year or so. That coming together has started to consolidate our race and I want to tell you this evening that I am one of you and will ever be one of you. A special feature of the evening's program was a miniature ship which was built by Brother William Crichlew, a member of the chapter, which was placed on exhibition in the hall. There were several representatives from the various fraternal societies present who gave short addresses which were very appropriate. Yesterday the residents of this city from early morning were anxiously awaiting the arrival of 3.20 p.m. when the contest between Fitz Moore, the Negro champion, native of Barbados, British West India, and Snowy McKoy, the white champion, palefive of Australia, would take place. As some fake fights were going the round locally, the people did not take too seriously the grand occasion. However, at 3.20 the preliminaries began to show to the not too limited crowd which gathered in the theatre - Dalon de las Quintas - what the evening would be like, and at about 4.20 p.m. the champions graced the ring with their pleasant salute and agile strides. Immediately after everything had been arranged the blew blew and the two opponents faced each other with as pleasant a face as ever could be desired, and the ten-round contest was commenced. In the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh rounds the wrist, but in the eighth round the same was changed as the white man was shown the floor by the Negro man landing a swift blow to the right jugular. After a few counts the white man was on his feet again. In the ninth round the fighting produced an entirely new aspect, when the Negro seemed to believe that they had shown sufficient art, and then brought the fight to an absolute close by landing a final left to the right jugular, which laid the white man low, and he remained on the floor until the refreshes. Mr. R. H. McRae, very timely counted him out. Both man showed grunt skill in the art and every one in the ring, the majority being white, was extremely satisfied. It was one of the most enjoyable evenings for the people of Barranquilla, as they never before saw a real and legitimate boxing contest in this city. We expect to have several more of this sort soon. In everything now-a-days and in every part of the world the Negroes seem to be ready to show what they can and will do. A concert was given in the Town Hall at Falmouth on the 11th inst. under the auspices of the U. N. L. A. Mr. A. Stewart presided. The gifting began with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by a prayer. The chairman in an able manner then introduced Mr. O'Meally, the commissioner, who, he said, would tell them of the aims and objects of the society. The commissioner then delivered an animated and inspiring address. He said in part that the aims of the association were to make a better type of Negroes, to lift them up from the low, degraded position in which they had fallen and to instil racial pride and love. The association aimed at unity, few in unity there was strength, and progress would follow. The chairman, in raising to thank the commissioner, said Mr. O'Meally had spoken some things which were true of his race and which only a. Negro could express without giving offense to other Negroes.

The Fowler Medicine Co. Department KINGFIELD, NEW FREE MEN WITH THE CONTRIBUTING EDITOR HUBERT H. HARRISON ```markdown ``` New York, Dec. 1, 1921 Hon Marcus Garvey, Pres. U N L A & D. B. L. 58 West 135th Street, New York City Dear Sir! - We, the undersigned, be merited by your worthy organization, stockholders in the Black Star Line Corp. and also students in the science of Chiropractic at the Coam- politan College of Chiropractic the only Chiropractic College in Harlem or "uptown," wish to voice our protest to the article appearing in The Negro World of December 10 under signature of Mr Hubert H Harrison In Mr Harrison's article he misleads the members of our Association and the readers of our paper by stating that the "Chiropractic College in Harlem" is not properly teaching its students that it is a school of segregation and that it is a school of quackery. We, who are students in the institution in question, are better able to judge these points than is Mr Harrison, whose knowledge of the college was obtained while delivering a series of twelve lectures in embryology, which he delivered to the freshman class. The students of the Cosmopolitan College of Chiropractic unite to challenge ANY student of ANY Chiropractic institution in the world to prove in open competition by any means they choose that they are not as well trained as are the student of the Cosmopolitan College of Chiropractic Your obedient servants. GEORGE A. PHILLIPS, HYMAN ANDERSON, ALBERT SOLER, MIRR AGNES DUKE BABB, THELMA LYNCH, PE. ER J. BELL, MAX SMITH, CHRIS CUMMINGS. "SAFETY FIRST!" Our colleague and friend, John Edward Bruce, often tells us that when you throw a stone down a dark alley at certain scuffling creatures you can always tell which one is hit by noting which one yelps. And so the reply of Mr. Phillips and Co. to the article, "Chiropractic Good and Bad" is a trifle amusing. Why should Mr. Phillips and Co. wear the cap—unless they found that it fitted them? In our last week's article we said: The chiropractic must know stress muscle nerve, bone and organ in the human body. He must be a thorough and competent student of anatomy, physiology and diagnosis. For Chiropractic is not a feast. It is often better than medicine, and he would practice it should have a preparation at least as through, if not as long, as that of the medical doctor. Therefore, the various chiropractic problems are giving their pupils through training. That is as it should be. No one should object to having a school of Chiropractic in Harlem to which Negro students can go to learn this noble art—even though a branch may have established it here to keep them from thrusting their black, brown and yellow faces into its white classrooms. No one should have a private purpose, openly admitted, be to coin money from the Negro neighborhood. But IF we find such a school pretending to give instruction which is not genuine, leave students with only a muddle of ignorant jargon rather than a knowledge of the human body; IF we see students of nine months standing who don't know what the school is teaching, the heart work; IF, in defiance of public safety, we see such students taking patients for "adjustment" and hear them openly boaring of the sexual advantage to them of handling women's bodies—then we should proclaim to the public that such quack institutions are a menace to health and a disgrace both to the art of teaching and to Chiropractic. Now, it seems to us that those who do not feel guilty would go on their way (since no one was named) and say: "He didn't mean me." But Mr. Phillips and Co. seem to purl up and say: "He MUST mean me." It is they and not I who are telling the people that the description fits them. And IF that is so, what is the good of trying to hide behind the name of the U. M. L. A. Dr. Gordon, Dr. Breckin, Professor Buch and Mr. George were all members of the U. N. L. A. But did that guarantee their correctness? Ask the officers and numbers. And if these good folk are been on the U. N. L. A. why don't they use their influence to ensure that the U. N. L. A.'s paper gets paid for the advertisements which it carried? That would really prove their interest. If Mr. Phillips will stop long enough to read the syllabus of his college he will find eight biographies of members of the faculty, and under the seventh he will find the name "Prof. Harrison." And on the page opposite he will find "Hubert H. Harrison. R. So. Professor of Entomology." It is generally conceded that a "professor" however ignorant, is a better judge of the quality of the curriculum and teaching than any number of more students, however enthusiastic. Hilda's words of last week have no application to any group of students when the cap doesn't fit. 14. regards to the big and beautiful claims that were put in the mouths of Mr. Phillips and Co. I choose to call their trust. Let Mr. Phillips select himself and Shea. Rabb and Sister and Sibby. We Mr. The Sibby of the Negro Wizard on Wednesday, December 14 at 8 p.m. I will bring three colored unmounted stuids from Downtown schools at Chiropractic. We will have two compounds of anatomy and physiology from Czech stuids questions will be appended by and over, and most 14 does not appear since Mr. Phillips brings is greatly interested in these stuids in competition with the other groups I will gradually publish them, which I hope to show. think I have said and pay for a dinner for the seven of us. If time and place do not suit Mr Phillips, let him select his own time and place, but it must be in Harlem and before December 31 Mr Phillips should "put up or shut up" The decision will be left to Professor Ferris, whom we will presume to be unblamed, and the results will be published in The Negro World. And since Mr Phillips forces the pace, may I not call his attention to the fact that the Mr Smith who has just jumped his ball in the unavoyable case of the 18-year McAllister girl is a student at Mr Phillips school? That student was "precising" although he has not graduated and hasn't the necessary knowledge, which proves my point that to let such students practice is a grave public danger—especially to women. Doubtless that student would have also signed the empty boast subcribed by Mr Phillips and Co. if he hadn't been compelled to fly from justice. Personally I feel no unfriendlessness toward Mr Phillips or any of his colleagues, yet I think that his unprovoked protest would have been a bit more seemly had it come from some of his more competent fellow-students like Mrs Butler, Mrs. Dabney Mr Chubb, or Mr Vivea. Then, too, a strict regard for truthfulness would have led him to investigate the assertion of some of his fellow-signers that they were stockholders in the Black Star Line. Had he done so he would have found that some of them—for instance, Measra. Cummings and Anderson—were "just pretending" But even if they all were, the facts would still remain, and would still constitute a menace to public health and safety. In any case, it is to be hoped that Mr. Phillips and Co. have demanded a public competitive test, will not now dodge that test, as that would leave a nasty taste in the public's mouth. I restrict the test to the persons who signed, because it is they who gave the challenge, and the readers of the Negro World will expect them to make it good. I took up this matter only in the people's intest and, here or elsewhere, I shall pursue it until it becomes impossible for green and ignorant students who have not yet graduated to fool with the public's health. And I repeat that chiropractic is a noble branch of the art of healing, therefore KEEP IT CLEAN! H. H. On Sunday, October 30, at Sons of Protection Hall, Kansas City, under the auspices of the 123th Kansas (Sunflower) Division, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was met with cheers and a rousing welcome. She was introduced by the Hon. Deputy Florida L. Jenkins, after which the afternoon was immediately conceded in her behalf, and immediately she began an onslaught of brilliant oratory, reproving, exhorting, and counseling, which bespoke wisdom, amid tumultuous cheering and applause by the audience, which was spalbound at the close. The financial secretary, Wm. Flewesign, introduced Levent Uria Gittens. First New York U. A. L., who appeared in full uniform, and truly he has heard the clarion call of the awakened masses of his people, and has responded with great alacrity. Lieut. Gittens gave a rousing patriotic address, and also ably defended the Black Star Corporation, the integrity of its officers, their objective aim, and mistakes. He endeavored to place before the members that no great institution or corporation is absolutely proof against mistakes, neither is this great corporation, but nevertheless will go on regardless of such.

The Black Cross nurses were out in uniform and the whole affair was a complete success. The following week of November 7 Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Lieut. Gittens carried the fight to Rosedale, a suburb of Kansas City thence to Kansas City Mo at Lyrte Hall, amid rousing cheers and thunderous applause. Back into Kansas City, Kan., Sunday, November 13, at Knights Tabor Hall the Legion was there headed by the indomitable leader, Capt. F. E. Raymond, also the untiring, hospitable and valiant Black Cross nurse. The meeting was a financial success and the hall was overflowing with an attentive audience. The following Monday and Tuesday at Knights Tabor Hall and Tuesday evening, after the glorious meeting with Lady Davis calling a spade a spade departed for Oklahoma a great disappointment to the many friends and admirers in both Kansas Cities. In conclusion I speak as a New Negro, that is, awake one who has taken on the incarnation of ancient Ethiopia as it were The question of today is not seeking the influence of or alliance with any particular party (political or race) in other words, begging someone else to do for us what we must do for ourselves. In the name of Jesus let us be men! Start today! Quit being sat led as petitioners, a political form of beggary especially when it carries no force behind it.

This company as it will be remembered and as it will be seen according to the news article reproduced below was an attempt to rival and defeat the good intentions of the Black Star Line in sending a ship to Africa. They advertised widely and over the country that they were on an African destination on the Black Star Line and advertised a ship of their ships would whistle for Africa to take her body for the ship to the nearest port and with the intention that the ship would be delivered to the North America. which would be ever in the Negro was a point that some of the pro- pose it.

As far as we have gathered there is no ship but like certain Negroes all over again they depended upon the white man's charity and philanthropy, by knocking independent Negro enterprises, that they would have been able to convince the white man that they were working in his interest and therefore the white people should give them a chance to visit Africa for the purpose of purposeful plans of the Black Star Line, writing a pure Negro ship and crew, to their own native land. Now what the white man realizes that the Black Star Line has not been able to do in such a way that was at advantage, through the alloy, through the alloy, through the criminal neighborhood of Africa, there is a chance that there is a crew coming from the Black Star Line, through the negroed Negroes that neither the flag probably knows of his mind of helping them. Negroes to ally them on to Africa in a cruise as counter propaganda against the Black Star Line. These Negroes who were to form the West Coast of Africa and indemnify the Imperial Negro Immediate Association are still waiting for more time. I wonder when the white man will all them into conference and start them on their job? paint with reinforced the Ill. Hull line started two are again to arrange Negroes to launch a international enterprise of their own throughout the by which they would be able to help up the industrial wealth of the Negro peoples of the world in conveying their raw materials and produce from one country to the other, for the purpose of trading as well as to run an international passenger serv- ice. As soon as the plans were well on the way, to ensure some of our organized Negro leaders got together and organized rival companies so as to take away the support that it was getting and to present it from suc- ceeding immediately we had the Arnold Smith Mill and Steamship Co" of Philadelphia the Inter-Colony Company and the American African Company, some of these so-called companies after selling a few thousand dollars worth of stock suddenly disappeared from the shipping business, without being able to present to the public a ship of any kind, even after these companies were widely advertised by certain Negro magazines and newspapers and written up extensively by them as to get the public to give their support to them and to defloat the Black Star Line Some of these papers and magazines are still supporting these imaginary steamship companies so much so, that a large number of colored papers and magazines within the last two weeks have been carrying news articles boosting the American African Tourist Co. and telling of their glorious sailing which have never taken place. Some papers have gone so far as to say that the ship called and so many people did sail on the ship. Now, how long will these so-called newspapermen and leaders continue to deceive the people? With all the steamship companies we have heard of, including those above mentioned, and the so-called "Liberian American Steamship Co." not one of them has ever sent out a ship from American ports with passengers or with freight, and that the Black Star Line has placed D two ships on the ocean manned by Negro captains and crew, and have gone to several countries and returned to New York and that the Black Star Line is now preparing to give to the world the greatest Negro steamship company ever brought into existence. Thus an called race leaders have no greater loyalty and love for self and race than by trying to deceive the public so as not to have them give the Black Star Line the support necessary to carry out its operations in the interest of the people. The following circular letter was sent to a prominent Negro preacher of Baltimore MD, inviting him to be one of those to sail on the imaginary ship that should have sailed on the 11th. For the purpose of giving the information to the public and his comments, he had the letter published in the Maryland Voice a Baltimore paper, with his criticism of the communication. The public will draw their own inference American African Tourist Company (The Maryland Voice, Dec 10, 1021) Organized for the purpose of stipulating contact between the darker people of Africa, Central and South America, the West Indies, and other sections of the world where there is a large Negro population. Our future success as a group must be built upon a perfect understanding. A thorough knowledge of Africa is imperative. Being is knowing. Don't miss this trip. Spend Christmas in Africa, and flowers into climate. Mean average temperature for year 74 degrees. The new sections opened are extremely beautiful. Cattle, goats, sheep and poultry thrive. The soil will produce cotton rice, sugarcane, tobacco, vegetables and fruit cocoa and coffee are native. With all its possibilities Africa is the most oppressed and stricken land on earth. Africa noods God, and we must introduce Him to her millions who worship idols Our Information Bureau gives full information Write us. We wish to impress the fact that there is in the African Cruise idea, no thought of conquest, no quarrel with existing governments. We are in no way connected with the Black Star in the Ethiopian Movement, or any supposed anti-white movement. The motive is purely evangelical and educational. Realizing that twenty-nine thirtieths of all Africa is in the hands of European nations, we believe the attempts which many of them are making to establish responsible government is an honest one, we are anxious to help them. However, we do believe that any effort to keep the American blacks out of Africa is a mistake since white men never achieve their greatest possibilities in Africa without the aid of the black man. When trusted, black men have always proved loyal, the battles of Bunker Hill, of Lake Erie, and of New Orleans have each a story of our fidelity. Negroes rallied to Colonel Roosevelt at San Juan, a black trooper at carolina carried a wounded officer to safety, and it was the black soldier of Renegal and other parts of Africa who helped the allies to conquer Germany. "And so, we help Americans go to Africa for a study of conditions and facts. We mean to feed upon these facts to digest them thoroughly, to consider where and how we can beat serve, to help the unreached millions of our own kith and kin, which is right and should merit the approval of the good over where. In the now day which is at hand we feel that they can serve best who are best equipped, that Africa is to be the stage upon which will be played the world a great drama of progress and invention. The most logical place for our study is Liberia. Liberia has a black man's problem which to be worked out satisfactorily must be worked out by black men with the cooperation of their white friends. "It will be seen, therefore, that the American and African Cruise is not merely a trip for sight-seeing and pleasure, but is the biggest missionary undertaking, the most far-reaching educational effort, the greatest commercial venture ever achieved by members of our race. "We are calling upon pastors and leaders to announce, attend and take part in the dedication of the first steamship in history carrying a party of tourists of our race to see Africa. "Our ship, the S.B. Bryce, will sail from New York on Saturday, December 10, and be dedicated in Philadelphia, Sunday, December 11, at 9 o'clock in the afternoon, at Municipal Wharves, South, Pier 20. On Monday, December 19 we call at Norfolk, and put to sea from Southgate Forwarding and Storage Company's dock, enroute for Africa, via Barbados, British West Indies, at 9 o'clock Monday evening. The payment of a small admission fee will allow visitors to go on board and inspect the ship, receiving a souvenir of this great achievement. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 "Hoping to have your cooperation in so gigantic a racial affair The American and African Tourist Company, per W. H. Y Manager The African Cruise "We regret that the promoters of the trip to Africa, dated December 3 January 18, surrender the most sacred possession of manhood—a free and untrammeled course of action "These men appeal to the old slave spirit in the black man and urge him to play second fiddle to the despoilers of our fatherland. They express a covert falsehood when they imply that the Black Star Line is an antitwist movement. Such an appeal is not a credit to these men. I know them, but in the letter they have sent out, dated at Philadelphia, November 30, they seem to be suffering with a species of mental mania, and the entire appeal is filled with deadly counter implications. How can men endorse this base insult to the 5,500,000 members of the Garvey movement? Why did they not help put the Black Star over"—it is going over. The money wasted in this venture might have been saved and a stenium owned and operated by our race could have carried them over. O how piffable it is to see our men endorse Lanier the Southern poet when he sings: "Let the white be a paragon of culture and grace while the black man holds his secondary place." "This is a near quotation from the poet of Southern principle and it dooms the blacks to an inferior place and rank. "The followers of Garvey do not accept it, and affirm that four hundred millions of black men need no other race help than such as they have given and can give other races. We shall be glad to write an exhaustive criticism of the letter or reply to our critic who may not like this note. We stand for the defense of the race on Gospel principles—God is no respecter of persons." "Why boost an excursion at such fearful cost of self-respect and real manhood. We denounce these instinations as a slap at manhood and betrayal of the race." The following false news was sent by the Philadelphia concern to the Afro-American newspaper of Baltimore: "Sailing Delayed "Baltimore, Dec 16—Information just received from the headquarters of the American tourist headquarters are to the effect that the steamer will not sail on Saturday, December 17. From private information received the clearance papers were held up by both the United States and the British governments, both governments suspecting this to be a part of the Garvey propaganda. "Other reasons given are to the effect that trouble developed with cargo arrangements. The trouble is expected to be straightened early next week or possibly this week yet, when announcement will be made of the time of sailing. It is understood that the trip will positively be made." The public can see from the above bit of news how deeply laid is the plot to injure the Black Star Line. These people never had a ship. Yet they advertised a sailing date and took people's money, and when the time comes for sailing they make it appear that Garvoy is responsible for their imaginary troubles, troubles which they have brought upon themselves. Starting with the issue of next week Marous Garvey, president of the Black Star Line, will explain to the public the delay in the Black Star Line sending one of its ships to Africa, as was promised before he sailed for Central America and the West Indies last February (Continued from page i) (Continued from page 1) But he is going to put up another proposition. If you are going to claim that through the labor you gave you are entitled to remain, he will say before the Court of Justice. "Your Honor if you are going to give the Negro rights in America to participate in the civilization of this country, I will place before you this proposition. Here is a man who desires to build a house. He employs a contractor to put up the building. He bargains with the contractor to put up the building for so much. The contractor goes out and gets bricklayers to lay the foundation. The contractor goes out and gets carpenters to put up the roof. The structure is completed. The contractor did not pay all the workmen according to their desires, but the workmen were paid in one way or the other. The house is completed. The master takes possession of the house, and every bricklayer goes and says: "I am entitled to a part of the house because I helped to put up the building." That is the argument the white man at the bar of justice will put up against the Negro. He brought the Negro as a laborer. Whether he paid the Negro or not, the Negro worked, and that is what he was brought for. He was not THE UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY After undergoing strenuous repair has been repaired.

So that the white man is up to something, but he is not ready yet. In another 100 years you will see what he is up to. So Negroes get busy and build up a government of your own in Africa. It does not mean that all of us are going back to Africa. On the whole, we don't want some of you in Africa, anyhow. If you are no good in America, you will be no good in Africa. If you are no good in the West Indies you will be no good in Africa. We want thrifty, industrious men and women in Africa. All of us can't go back, because some of us have property over here, and some can keep our health better over her. Now, you cannot prescribe any one place for a man to live, but you can prescribe a place for a man to rule. Now this is where the white man rules. Asia is where the yellow man rules, but the white man can live there and the yellow man can live here. Africa must be the place where the black man must rule. But that does not mean to say white man cannot live in Africa. The white man is going to live in Africa just as Negroes live in America. In America black men cannot be Presidents, in Africa white men shall not be Presidents. But the white President of the United States will give protection to black subjects, just as how the black President of Africa will give protection to white subjects later on. And then, if you kill African subjects in America, we will kill some other subjects in Africa, too. That is just what we mean. That is just what the Universal Negro Improvement Association means. It is a manhood movement. It does not want to start anything, but it is going to finish up everything. Now the hour is late. I have to go back to New York tonight. I am a busy man. I have reached the stage of life when every minute, every second counts for something done, something achieved. And that is the thought I want you all to go away with tonight.

They are not looking for ancient fighting methods, but hire the best European flying men to do their fighting from the air. They offer 45,000 francs a month to first-class air fighters. Already they have destroyed $100,000,000 worth of Spanish property by ground fighting. When they get air fighting organized they will easily multiply that by ten or a hundred.

If he had in the same length of time built up a membership of 20,000 would not he be hailed by the community and all who knew of his work, as a man of phenomenal success, as the biggest preacher of the day, especially if he had accomplished so much in spite of the active and hostile opposition of nearly all the leading Negro preachers, and strong influential white ministers? What if he had established a score of branches in the city, all of them strong, growing and enthusiastic; what if he had purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of property and inaugurated several business enterprises among his people, would be not find a place in the front page of all the Negro papers and of many white papers? Would not praise of him and his work be on every lip and sounded from rostrums all over the country, and picture of him adorn the homes of thousands, and be held up as an inspiring example of success to the aspiring youth of the race? But here is a man who came to New York just four years ago with not a dollar in his pocket or a single follower, his only asset being one big idea, a world vision and the inspiration of God in his soul, has built up an organization having branches on two continents and in the Isles of the Sea. He has gathered about him some of the brightest intellects and most forward looking men and women of the race, and purchased property whose values run up in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is such a man, who has accomplished so much in so short a time, a little man, a mere visionary to be ignored or enubbed off the scene? The extent and character of the attacks upon His Excellency, Marcus Garvey, and his great work are an unconscious acknowledgment of the greatness of the man and CHRISTMAS P You can have no better Chr than records of the U.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921 salieron de Europa para Norte America, derribemos árboles, desvastemos bosques, cazemos animales salvajes y constituyamos en Africa una república, una nación, un imperio, el cual será absolutamente encomendado a nuestro crédito. Hemos de repetir que no es necesario que nuestra raza en el emisferio Occidental, tenga que abandonar su posición topográfica, y en particular los "inteligentes" tengan que empaquetar su "sabiduria," para ir a las selvas del Africa; pero con la decidida advocación de "Africa para los Africanos" debemos reconcentrar todas nuestras abilities y energias, de manera que en otro medio siglo de existencia podamos demostrar al mundo que "el Negro es un hombre completo." M PRFSID Pala Sr Marcus Garcia con Univer No Univer No Muy estimado s Me he entera usted, fechada o me veo en el po La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ofrece a los elementos de la raza una oportunidad para aspirar el ambiente de Libertad, creado por las aspiraciones y esperanzas originales de una raza que la clamora. Africanos en todo el sentido de la palabra, cuando señalando a los colores nacionales del estandarte Africano, como señala el inglés los de Gran Bretaña, el francés los de Francia y el americano señala a las "Franjas y las Estrellas," nos sintamos orgullosos del deber cumplido, disfrutando de los derechos que corresponden a todo ser humano. ETICA DE LA MULTITUD Si juzgamos la civilización de un país por sus clases inferiores en educación nos encontraremos con que país alguno de la tierra se encuesta en condiciones de privilegio. En ningun periodo de la historia hubo pueblo alguno cuya característica fuera una simétrica cultura, igual en todos los ciudadanos, comun el obrero de la ciudad y al labriego de los campos, ni siquiera analoga entre los mas autorizados tipos de la sociedad civil. La multitud no conoció, ni conoce otros principios que los que emanan del universalismo de su propria vida. Ama la libertad como principio esencial, an que puede analizar, y como se ama la propia defensa. Este principio es instinctivo, y así lo vemos en la bestia que hace suya la selva, en el pájaro que escapa en cuanto se le presenta ocasion, en el insecto que busca la grieta por donde hueur, en el pez que sacude la atarraya al sentirse oprimido entre sus cuerdas. La misma fuerza cósmica que está en nosotros no se siente capaz de una prolongada permanencia en el organismo. Lo que se llama "personalidad" no es otra cosa que el extracto o selección intelectual de un pueblo. Esta personalidad sólo se manifiesta de modo infuso en la multitud, sin que se puedan presentar los casos de excepción. Grecia, con ser la cumbre de un estado superior de los instintos, en sus épocas culmantes, cuando dominan con su immense cultura las costas mediterráneas, no posea otra personalidad que la que pasa a la historia con sus poetas, geometras, astrónomos, botánicos, escultores y demás representativos de su capitalidad mental; y sabemos de su civilización por sus grandes artistas, por las comedias de Aristofanes, las tragedias de Sófoces, las elegias de Simónides, la palabra de Esquines y Demostenes. La etica de sus multitudes no aparece por ninguna parte, porque la multitud, entonces como ahora, como siempre, carece y carece del sentido de la cohesión, y sólo al conjuro de sus sentimientos naturales—libertad, independencia, defensa o conservación—toma las orientaciones del momento Sólo aparece para someterse a sus fanatismos o para desterrar a Aristides. Lo que llamamos "pueblo" debe considerarse como la suma conciente de un país y de una epoca dada. Es la sociedad de sociedades que forma el nucleo representativo de una nación. Asi direnos "el pueblo griego", "el pueblo romano", "el pueblo francés", "el pueblo americano" es a saber, la entidad representativa de cada nacionalidad, que asume una mayor fuerza moral en la selección de sus figuras dirigentes, responsables por sus funciones oficiales o sus funciones civilizadoras. Es diga, de respetos también esa multitud incoherente, sin determinismo, huérfana de ideales, pobre en aspirationes, debil por su misma ignorancia. Ella forma parte del todo humano, y del todo jurídico de una nación. Es la bohemia desgraciada que debemos educar, poniéndola bajo el amparo de la escuela y de la ley. Acaso las futuras generaciones gozarán del producto sano que resulte de una perseverante labor en pro de las clases que tenemos por inferiores, y por las cuales no podria juzgarse de la cultura de ningún pueblo organizado. Porque la ley de perfectibilidad es un hecho al traves de los tiempos, si la sociedad trabaja por su propia representación en el futuro. Securamente que la personalidad de los Estados Unidos de América,—sea por ejemplo, que es uno de los centros de mayor actividad en los presentes instantes del cuarto creciente de la Humanidad, no podria seialarla como ejemplo, si fueraamos a juzgarla por determinados aspectos de su vida social, po por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra 54-56 Ocate, Calle 135, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. Los pueblos Negros del mundo tienen que combinar sus esfuerzos por el adelanto de la raza—Ha llegado la epoca de demostrar al mundo la clase de material de que somos hechos Conciudadanos de nuestra Raza, Salud. Nos sorprende grandemente al notar el estado de ignorancia en que aun se haya la inteligencia acreditada de ciertos elementos de nuestra raza. Nos referimos a aquella inteligencia de los tal llamados académicos y directores educados, los cuales se consideran como los únicos preparados para aconsejar y dirijir. Viviendo en un mundo de cambios y progreso, es de esperarse que nuestros directores, según ellos dotados de una inventiva sobrenatural, nos presenten de vez en cuando, un código lógico por medio del cual podamos gobernarnos a sí mismos. Por el contrario, hoy, mientras las otras razas presentan al mundo sabios y educadores, los cuales evolucionan en un nuevo campo de ideas, y trazan nuevos planes para salvar a otras razas y naciones de la amenaza de destrucción, vemos a nuestros tal llamados directores "calentándose al sol" muy contentos como siempre. El tío Tomás, apesar de haber sido esclavo y de haber sentido todos los rigores de la esclavitud, se conformaba con ser un sirviente leal y pacifico. Apesar de que hemos sido emancipados, tal parece que los tal llamados directores se conforman, como el tío Tomás, con ser leales y obedientes a la dirección de otras razas, tratando de que tal dirección influya en las masas de nuestra raza negra. Cuando consideramos que los elementos de nuestra raza en America y en las Antillas hemos tenido tres cuartas partes de un siglo de libertad, durante cuyo periodo hemos podido estudiar en las mejores escuelas y universidades, y hasta el presente no hemos demostrado nada consistente, es razonable admitir que existe entre nosotros algo heróneo, lo cual es de lamentarse. Hemos leido autores y periodistas antillanos y americanos, de nuestra raza los cuales manifiestan que hemos hecho maravillas en los ochenta y cincuenta años respectivos de nuestra libertad. Declaran que hemos hecho más que cualquier otra raza hubiera hecho en el periodo indicado. Esta es una falsedad, toda vez que busquemos y no hallemos resultado alguno. Desde la emancipación hasta nuestros dias, nada práctico hemos realizado, con la ecepción del actual movimiento hacia los destinos de un imperio. Tomemos este asunto bajo el punto de vista industrial: No podemos señalar a ninguna institución de esta indole, ni a ninguna gran fábrica en la cual empleemos a nuestros elementos y proveamos para nosotros mismos. Toda la ocupación que hemos tenido por los últimos cincuenta años ha sido provista por iniciativa y labor de nuestros emancipadores. Y nuestros tal llamados directores, levantándose en tribunas públicas, pregonan con todas las fuerzas de sus pulmones que hemos adelantado y hemos realizado grandes cosas. ¿Será para ellos "esta gran realización" el hecho de poner a alguien a trabajar y pagarle un sueldo por la labor que este ejecute? Tal es, a mi modo de pensar, todo lo que hemos realizado, durante los últimos cincuenta años. ¡Cuán distinta ha sido la evolución de las otras razas en este particular! Ellas han construido grandes plantas industriales, millares de vias ferreas, centenares de compañillas navieras, hermosas ciudades, y poderosas naciones de imperios, dominándolas a su antojo. La dirección de nuestra raza en el presente y en el pasado, no ha sido sino una mera broma. De esta manera pasamos año tras año sin poder presentar al mundo algo concreto que nos conduzca al glorioso destino de libertad industrial, política, social y nacional. El mundo califica al individuo, a la raza ó a la nación, por lo que estos hayan hecho para si y por su propia cuenta. En ninguna época, ningún crédito ha sido concedido a ningún individuo, raza ó nación que se haya beneficiado de la iniciativa de los otros individuos, razas ó naciones, por ser esta una cuestión de sentido común. Asi hemos vivido por más de tres cuartas partes de un siglo, dependiendo siempre de la iniciativa de los demás. Estos nos han dado empleo, nos han dado instrucción, nos han transportado, y en esta atmósfera de falsedad hay quien diga que hemos adelantado considerablemente, y que tenemos la consideración y respeto del mundo, cuando si hemos de hablar claro, el mundo entero no nos tiene tal consideración y respeto, porque nada hemos aún realizado. Muchas de las avejaciones en contra nuestra descansan en la inabilidad de la raza, y el proceso de remover estas inabilidades va a paso de tortuga. No ha de existir tal reconocimiento ni tal respeto, ni hemos de ser considerados como hombres, hasta que procedamos como tales. Cuando escuchamos de cliertos de nuestros intelectuales el que debemos conformarnos con nuestra situación acrílica, con lo que hemos adquirido por medio de la incleación de los demás, damos oportunidad para que se nos repina la frase de que "el Negro no es ni será nunca un hambre completo." litica y artística. Su "pluribus unum" que está en sus métodos de experimentación jurídica, no los encontramos fácilmente en el seno atropellado de sus multitudes. Una informe diversidad de caracter de raza, idioma, costumbres, sentimientos, tendencias de orden religioso o de orden económico, constituyen aqel babilonico agrupado nacional. Pero esa misma gigante ola humana, con los colores todos del e-spectro solar, con todas las vibraciones de la vida y del esfuerzo, con el empuje y la resistencia, el egoismo y la excentricidad, la corrupción y la temperancia, el cesarismo y el ideal, con todos sus defectos y sus pasiones y sus virtudes, ha podido mantener en un plano armónico, hasta el presente, las fuerzas poderosas que pugnan en su entrafia, y ha sabido seleccionar las necessarias, las más útiles, las más capaces, para presentar ante el mundo un tipo de personalidad eficiente y respeable. Mucho han inflUIDo en este fenomeno, las virtudes de los fundadores de esa gran república Tenan ellos un ideal común y perseguían fines generales, altamente generosos para su patria. Aquella personalidad creó la personalidad nacional. Cada patricia eró un tipo nacional delineado con perfectas modidades, ya de caracter, ya de costumbres privadas y públicas, ya de noble desinterés en la lucha por los derechos de sus coterraneos y semejantes. Por eso triunfaron Por eso pudo salvarse la libertad por eso en el curso de los afios y los acontecimientos, nadie ha podido, ni ha osado desviar el carro triunfal del Estado, de sus originales destinos. Empero, allá existe la multitud que aun carece de orientacion la multitud sin ideales, que no podria representar en forma alguna la grandeza del pueblo americano. Asi, en todas partes, como hemos dicho, la personalidad se manifesta por la representación intellectual que forma el cuerpo astral de una sociedad. Si prescindimos de esta selección, y creemos posible crear una "patria" irremos a un estado de escavitud más boschornoso que el que podamos creer agresivo para la dignidad del conjunto. Entonces no se creará una patria, porque carecería de personalidad; y no existiría con los atributos de su grandeza porque seria falsa invocada, de los eternos farseos de la libertad. REFLEXIONES En el mundo aprende uno a conocer a los demás y en la soledad a conocerse a si mismo. En esta última ma parte es donde, a veces, se hace un triste reconocimiento El amorro del tiempo es igual al ahorro del dinero. El tiempo es oro. Si se quiere ganar dinero, puede lograrse con el empleo conveniente del tiempo. Ama usted la vida? Entonces no derroche el tiempo, porque de ese elemento esta compuesta la vida De la acción nace la fuerza, del amor la vida y del dolor la virtud. Una risa sincera es una de las mejoras almas restauradoras en el mundo. En amor cuando menos se habla es cuando más se dice. Los hombres que conquistan el mundo son aquellos que ven mas allá del presente. El bloque de granito que es un obstáculo en el camino del débil, es una piedra de apoyo en el camino del fuerte.

"Recomendamos que por ninguna circumstancia debiera permitir el gobierno norteamericano que se establezca en las islas Filipinas una situación que dejara a los Estados Unidos en una posición de responsabilidad sin autoridad." El gobierno filipino de Jones y los ocho años del gobernador Harrison tendieron a crear exactamente la situación contra la cual protestan el general Wood y Mr. Forbes. Mr Harrison hizo lo que pudo para disminuir sus funciones y habilo largamente del dia en que el podra embarcarse en un buque para regresar a los Estados Unidos con su bandera. Invitó a los filipinos a gobernarse por si mismos, a la ocu contribuyeron el presidente Wilson y el secretario Baker. El primero aun did aprobación pública a la enmienda Clarke sobre la ley Jones requiriendo la inmediata de ocupación de las islas. Lo que se estimula a los filipinos a aspirar era a la independencia. Pero qué clase de independencia? Los políticos nativos mismos querían una independencia comfortable, con la garantía de los Estados Undios contra la agression de afuera. En tal caso los Estados Undos tendrian responsabilidad—quizás implicadora de guerra—pero nunca soberanía ni autoridad. Pocos nortamericanos apoyan lanzar a las Filipinas en el embroilo del extremo oriente. Sin embargo, si la responsabilidad de los Estados Undos va a continuar, por qué no también el control administrativo y una oportunidad genuna para mejorar la situación de Filipinas? El gobernador general Wood y M. Forbes aconsejan el mantenimiento del presente status en las islas hasta que los habitantes han tenido tiempo de acostumbrarse al uso de los poderes que se le confieren Los dos comisionados recomienda el rechazo de las provisiones de la ley Jones que disminuen la mas adecuada autoridad del gobernador. Itensan que el gobierno—especialmente la administración de justicia—dehiera retroceder al nivel que tenia antes del Harrison El Presidente Harding se propone apoyar al Gobierno Reily—El Secretario Weeks convoca a la Comision Puertorriqueña que ha de formular los Cargos en contra de dicho Gobierno La delegacion puertorriqueña presidida por el Senador Lcedo don Antonio R. Barceló que ha ido a Washington con el fin de formular cargos en contra del gobernador de Puerto Rico, ha sido convocada por el Secretario de Guerra Weeks, para dar audiencia a la formula de dichos cargos, en los cuales se pide la immediata destitución de dicho gobernador. El Presidente Harding manifesta que suponiendo que Mr Reily haya sido poco diplomatico y haya usado de la violencia cuando debió usar "el guante blanco", el le sostendria en su puesto, pues conoce perfectamente a Mr Reily y sabe que es un hombre honrado a toda prueba. El Secretario Weeks manifesto a la delegación que los cargos tenían que ser presentados por escrito y en declaraciones juradas, para dar al asunto la debida consideración. Sonetoa de Shakespeare En épocas remotas la hermosura Para ser alabada por la fama, Exigia en el rostro de la dama, Una tea de finisima blancura. Para obtener tan raro privilegio Usaba la beldad su ciencia toda. Mas hoy la tea moreena esta de moda, Y mancharla seria un sacrilegio. Como al ala de cuervo son los ojos, Las cejas y cabellos de mi amante, Y a la blanca causan enojos Por su negrura intensa y rutilante. Y el negro que el color marco del luto. luto Es hoy de la belleza el atributo. Traducción de Carmela Eulste Sanjurjo. --- Muy estimado señor NUESTRA "ASOCIACION" EN LA REPUBLICA DE CUBA Reseña de una reunión de propaganda organizada por la división 150 de Remedios celebrada en Calbarien En la villa de Caibarien, a los trece dias del mes de Noviembre, en la morada de la Sra Alejandrina Dominguez, previa solicitud del hermano Tomas Aquino y cedida galantemente por tan ilustre dama, se reunió la Comisión Especial de la Division 150 de la ciudad de Remedios, enviada alli para dar a conocer a los habitantes de Caibarien los propósitos de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra Hace uso de la palabra el president Sr Juan Mitchell, y con brillante elocuencia, expíla la difícil pero grandiosa labor del Hon Marcus Garvey, que Dios guarde, labor que tenemos que secundar todos los miembros de nuestra raza en el mundo, unendo nuestros esfuerzos por un Africa libre. El hermano Tomás Aquino secundo en el uso de la palabra, y consentidas frases manifiesta su regocijo al ver congregados en tan magna reunion tantos hijos del Africa, haciendo especial mencion de los grandes inconvenientes y susabores que sufre nuestra raza, tal vez quizas por nuestra propia apatia. El hermano Aquino dice que en virtud de que en la Cruz Roja no admiten damas de nuestra raza, se ha constitido la Cruz Negra, para practicar la misma obra de caridad que corresponde a instituciones de esa indole, y cuyos beneficios tienen que llegar hasta nuestros hermanos de Africa en no letiando dia El Sr Leon Escobar, nativo de Africa, dice que habiendo sido esclavo primero y luego soldado del Ejercito Libertador de Cuba, no ha visto aun que la llamada raza civilizada haya flecho nada por nuestra instrucción, teniendo por tanto que agruparnos bajo el Estandarte Rojo, Verde y Negro, que es el pabellon que nos abrigara, y ha brillar a nuestra querida Africa como nacion libre y civilizada, siendo así nuestros derechos respetados por el mundo entero El Secretario Sr Freixer de una manera oficiosa, hace una apología refrendido al modo como vieron nuestros antecesores del Africa, envia a ayudar en la gran labor de redurir a nuestra madre patria comprando acciones de la Black Star Line, y a engrosar las filas de nuestra Asociación. A las siete de la noche terminan tan agradable reunion, donde se puso de manifesto una vez más, los buenos deseos de coadyugar por el engrandecimiento de esta noble raza, y haciendo fervientes votos por nuestro futuro Juan Mitchell, Pres't, Marcelino Echemendia, Sec't, Martin Freuxer, Sec't de Actas, y Tomas Aquino, Organizador. Demostración en Huiti a la Comisión de los Estados Unidos La comisión del congressor norteamericano que investigara la ocupación de Haït por los Estados Unidos, recibió hoy a su llegada una gran demostración patriótica. Diez mil personas estaban aglomeradas en las calles y algunos astentaban pendones con inscripciones como estas "Sérá Haïtí vuestra Irland, Bélgica o el Congo?" "Libertad o muerte" "Diez mil haltanos asesinados demandan justicia" La comisión hizo una visita al palacio presidencial. -Veniam aqui—dijo al presidente de la comisión, senador Medill McCormick—como imparciales, leales amigos, y estamos animados por un espíritu de colaboración. Buscanos una base política y económica para el progreso futuro de Haiti. Desesunes descubrir la manera de mantener el orden social y administrativo, la paz, la justicia, la instrucción y la prosperidad debe continuar en pie el error que se ha venido com- tiendo de tratar de establecer diferencias entre los hombres, ya sea por su origen o por su color, y que todos deben ser jurgidos iguales. Considerando, al frusmo tiempo, que es una obliga- cion de los hombres y de los paises que se encuentran en mayor estado de adelanto, de prestar franco v decidido apoyo a los hombres y a los pueblos que guardan todavía un estado de atraso, para que estos alcancen una situación igual a la de los primeros. Por las razones que dejo asentadas, creo que deben ser abolidos para siempre los prejudicios que se han venido sustentando entre razas determinadas, y que es solamente la Cultura y la Moral las que deben servir para medir el valor de los hombres y de los pueblos. Soy de usted con toda consideración, su atento y seguro servidor. La situación Filipina (Firmado) A OBREGON La torre Eiffel El constructor de la torre que llea va su nombre en Paris, de la que tanto se enorgullece la capital de Francia y ha dado tanta fama a Eiffel, ha vuelto, terminada la guerra, a ocupar el pequeno departamento que se reservara desde hace muchos años sobre la más alta plataforma de la monumental obra. A pesar de sus 89 primaveras, aquel se mantiene aún agil de cuerpo acaba de comprobarlo ultimamente el principle heredero del Japon y sus acompahantes cuando visitaron la torre y el anciano ingeniero hizo los honores de la "casa" dando todas las explicaciones que se le solicitaaron. La obra es motivo de solicita cuidados tomándose las más minu cosas precauciones para evitar la oxidación de las 15,000 piezas que la componen y que estan unidas por 2,500,000 remaches, siendo el peo total del armazón de 6,750,000 La duración de la torre puede ser considerada como indefinida no ob stante de que muchos técnicos le auguran poca vida. Fué construida, hace 32 años y en el término de 35 meses, costando 9,000,000 de franc cos. Moros y Españoles Los Moros, de nuevo en lucia con los Españoles, están demostrando parte de la inteligencia que en una época los hizo conquistadores de España, y de casi toda la Europa. Ellos no usan los métodos antiguos de guerra, sino que estan contratando a los mejores aviadores europeos, para hacer la guerra de de arriba, y ofrecen pagar cuarenta y cinco mil francos mensuales a aviadores guerreros de primera clase. Ya han destruido los Moros propiedad española por valor de mil de cien millones de peso, y cuanid hayan organizado la guerra aero podrán facilmente multiplicar esto daños a muchos centenares.
