VICTORIOUS IN 1921 REVOLUTIONARY PARTY FORMED TO CREATE NEW GOVERNMENT VOL. XI. No. 20 GREAT HOPES FOR THE NEW YEAR World Organization Must Work Like One Mighty Unit Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We are now about to enter upon the threshold of a New Year. The old year is going, it is going, and will soon be gone. The bells are about to ring. Do you hear them? They are ringing out the old and ringing in the new. The year of 1922 is here and one more year is added to our labor and to our hope. This is the time we make our new resolutions; silently to ourselves we map out and pledge a new course of life. May I not ask you then on this beautiful New Year morning to re-pledge and dedicate yourselves to the grand and noble cause of a free and redeemed Africa? We have traveled through the stormy year of 1921 to this new born year of 1922. In the past year we fought and won many a battle, because undoubtedly we stuck together in maintaining the pledge we took last New Year's day, that we would never allow the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green to trail in the dust. Men, organizations and movements have fought us during 1921 from every angle, but like the mighty host of Israel, we stood up like the children of God and faced the enemy with courage and with faith. Our faith has made us whole, and today we step out into another year feeling that the Jehovah who guided us in the past will guide us in the future. Our organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has steadily grown into a power and today we look back upon a great field of achievement wherein we have succeeded in uniting the scattered race for the one common purpose of universal freedom. Though we have gained in membership in the past year, we must still continue the good work that is laid out for us. We have hundreds of millions who have not yet fallen under the leadership of our great movement; it is for us who have caught the vision to go out into the highways and byways to preach the doctrine of unity and of love, and to bring them into the fold. If we in this New Year will work a little harder than we did in the past we can with all confidence assume to ourselves that in another year the Universal Negro Improvement Association will accomplish more than it has already done. As we look over the fields of industry, of commerce and of politics, we find much that must be done. Universally, there is the cry of unemployment among our people. In America, in the West Indies, in South and Central America, our men and women are out of employment. Something must be done in the new year to alleviate their condition. We desire that every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association adhere to the program of the organization for this New Year and see to it that it is supported in every detail. Plans are being arranged at headquarters, which, if carried out minutely by each and every division of the organization, will in another few months bring about great industrial relief to our people everywhere. There is one thing that we must do if we are to better ourselves and our condition in 1922, and that is we must obediently carry out the rules and regulations of our great organization. In the past the disposition on the part of certain individual divisions A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1921 of our organization here and there, has been to work out an independent program without the approval and consideration of the parent body. This must not continue in 1922; there must be a unity of effort on the part of the eight hundred branches throughout the world. Only through this unity of effort can we bring about the new conditions we desire, so that I am appealing to members everywhere throughout the United States of America, the West Indies, South and Central America and Africa, to see that their officers carry out the instructions that go from headquarters. The great objective of freeing Africa, of seeing Africa redeemed, is still unrealized, but we shall not slacken our effort one bit in 1922, but on the contrary we shall work with greater determination to free our motherland from the grip of the alien intruder. We may expect anything to happen to bring about political changes in 1922. No one can tell what the New Year will bring forth for the weak and oppressed peoples of the world. When it is remembered that the year 1914 opened with great hope and security for the enslavers of humanity, and yet that in August of that year the greatest war ever seen was started, which brought freedom to millions of oppressed souls everywhere, we may well expect that there may be greater changes in the new year of 1922. We must only prepare ourselves for whatsoever change that may come about, to enter into it with greater preparation and greater hope. This is not the time for us to go backward, we must buoy ourselves with new hope, with new courage, and face the new year with a determination that must never die. We who are in earnest have pledged ourselves that we shall carry out our work without flinching. We shall by our deeds lead others into the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Men of our race everywhere must be taught that there is but one destiny for each and every one of us, and we must unitedly work toward that end. With the experience that we have had we should better prepare ourselves, still stand solidly together and march abreast of the time with four hundred million hearts beating to the tune of a free Africa and an emancipated race. We can no longer live without exchanging sympathies with and among ourselves. The general suffering that now prevails in our ranks must be alleviated to the best of our ability. The rich and prosperous among us must get to realize that upon us devolve the solemn duty of helping the more unfortunate of our own to live the life that is given to us all. That is to say, we who can help financially, must subscribe to the bigger program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for 1922 so that the organization can provide employment for those who are in immediate need. If each and every member who is employed would do his duty by the movement, according to instructions that will go out from headquarters, it will mean that we will be rendered able to finance the great industrial enterprises that we expect to undertake for the higher economic development of the race. You must remember that our program is industrial as well as it is political, as far as Africa and the race is concerned. We have to build up industrial strongholds among our people everywhere, rendering them independent so as to make it possible for us to better concentrate upon the greater work that must be accomplished. Let us not falter, let us not put off for another year, for another time, that which must be done in 1922. Again I say, let us forget the differences of the past, let us concentrate for the future. With the confidence that I personally have in each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I can see absolutely no reason why we shall not have prosperity in the new year. So, believing in the higher possibilities of each and every Negro, I extend to you the Season's Greetings, for a bright and happy future. I have the honor to be.

As has been stated in this paper before as a warning to self-respecting and patriotic Negroes, a subtle attempt is being made to deliver the unsuspecting of our race—soul, body and baggage over to the revolutionary gang of alien races for them to further exploit us to serve their own ends in starting revolutions in different white countries, and then to throw us off as usual as an inferior race. The plans of these malcontents are skilfully laid and they are now using their money to finance several hars and treacherous Negroes to have them form new Negro organizations and start newspapers and magazines to foster the cause of the contemplated revolution among Negroes. This paper again takes the opportunity of warning the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all self-respecting and loyal Negroes from associating themselves with such communities as Negroes and their papers—Marus Uvaray, Manuel's Edition. The following news article with headlines, appeared in the "Sunday World" of New York December 23. RED PARTY BORN TO TURN U. S. INTO SOVIET REPUBLIC The Workers' Party of America- designed to establish a Soviet republic in this country by the ballot—came into being at the first convention at the Labor Temple yesterday after a good deal of preliminary skirmishing and on hour's rest. From Harry Waton, Communicator and lecturer, came this holiday greeting to his assembled colleagues, given in a loud, hearty voice after he had been barred as a delegate: "Go to hell, you damn skunks." As the World has told, the convention marks the entry of the extremists into politics. In keeping with the principles of the Third Internationale, they have now gathered all "revolutionary elements" into one party. At least a score of organizations were represented, all interested in the overthrow of capitalism, but divided on the method of attack—all adherents of the Third Internationale in Moscow, and, to use their own phrase, "fighting revolutionaries" and "soldiers." At a little table near the platform sat Ludwig Love, editor of the Volk-Zeltungs: Alexander Trachtenberg, Russian revolutionary, once a Socialist leader, and J. Lovetows—leaders of the party, who had mapped out an advance personal of committal method of procedure and all the routine of convention. J. Louis Engdahl of the Workmen Council (official relic of the Communists) sequestered the keynote of this "effort to bring real revolutionary elements together in order to establish finally the overthrow of American capitalism." Temporary Chairman James P. Cannon elaborated the theme, "The Third International, which began in sow revolution all over the world, was the party's "guiding stalk," said Mr. Cannon. America helped usion must be absorbed in this new party for a "set of fighting leaders who were ready to fight because it is better to the time be crushed in the struggle." Dedicated for America.

Miss Alice Waite Speaks; Also Rev. Dr. R. Harten, Missionary in Liberia, Engaged There in Industrial Uplift Work Among Natives LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday evening, Dec 25 1921 In the midst of a splendid assemblage of race loving, Christian Negroes, ever devoted to the cause of the ultimate redemption on their motherland, special Christmas services were held here tonight, services which in character, with respect both to the musical program and the addresses delivered, were in complete harmony with the Yuletide season. Anthems, carefully selected for the occasion by Prof. Arnold J. Ford, were rendered by the choir, and instrumental numbers given by the band, under the direction of Prof. Isles, which, together with solos, duets, quartettes and quintettes that were heard that likened this part of the service not a little to those angelic strains that were wafted from heaven as the angels who guided the wise men from the East as they traveled toward Bethlehem to see the Child lying in a manger sang. "Peace on earth, good will to men, peace on earth, good will to men! Glory to God, glory to God in the highest!" On the platform with the President-General, the Hon. Marc Garvey, sat many of the members of the High Executive Council; the various uniformed branches of the New York division of the association were present, the members of the band wore their uniforms, and the large chorus were robed in their surplices of white. Places of evergreen were bung here and there throughout the big hall, so that all in all, with a vast audience of sober-looking, intelligent, God-fearing man and women, whose purpose was to join in the service of praise and hallelujahs to the Saviour of the world, upon the anniversary of His birth, it was an occasion of solemn majesty, that could not but fill all with feelings of inspiration and thanksgiving to the creator of mankind. Mr. Garvey chose as the topic of his special address, "The Message of Christmas," and spoke with unusual appropriateness, touching upon the mission of the Son of God who came into the world nineteen hundred and twenty-one years ago; what He had striven to do for mankind; how He was desplaced and rejected, and of the glorious example He left of brotherly love and brotherly kindness, based on His teachings of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. The speaker showed wherein the world had not changed much since the days when Christ lived on earth. The same class of people who ruled the world then, and who looked upon Jesus as an impostor, he said, are in the world today, "but, thaik God," he continued, "among the millions who professed His name and who worship at His footstock, are to be found Negroes everywhere." When Christ was rejected by men, among thirst who accepted Him, and succored Him, and who helped Him, were men and women of the Negro race, "We, he declared, "followed Him from the stable at Bethlehem to the cross on Calvary; we accepted Him first, and we had Him farewell last." In, closing, *Garvey*, in a happy straight and joyful manner, said to his hearers: "Let me wish you all a bright and a marry Christmas, and let me say to you that, though you may take it as a season of joy in the outward act, you must also realize that it is a season of spiritual joy as well. Let us remember the circumstance under which we celebrate this day, the circumstance of having our souls renewed and redeemed from sin; therefore, whatever our pleasure, stay by, let us realize that there should also be pleasures that are spiritual. In, say to you all, I wish you a marry, joyful Christmas." York World of this morning contained an article reporting a meeting held the previous day by the Red Party, a gathering of all the revolutionaries of this country, who are now laying plans to create a revolution. It is the desire of this party, he said, to establish in all countries a Soviet republic, and they intend to set up in the United States a Soviet government, as they did in Russia. And the leaders of the African Blood Brotherhood, I suppose, got a few dollars to use their influence to line up a goodly membership of Negroes, so that Negroes may be included in the revolutionary program of the Soviet party. The article mentioned the A. B. B. as representing the colored people in America. This showed where these men are trying to lead us—into disrepute, into trouble. "If," continued Mr Garvey, "there are any white people who want to make revolutions, let them start and make them themselves. We are tired helping the white man to do what he wants. If those radicals are dissatisfied and want to smash up their government, it is their business. We are not concerned with their government; we are concerned only in establishing a government of our own. (Applause.) And we are not going to go to jail for any white man; but we are ready at any time to go to jail for ourselves. Those follows (referring to Gordon, McGuire, et al) have been trying to get all of us to go to jail to please a certain class of white people." The U. N. L. A. Mr. Garvey declared, in thunderous voice, has a program of its own: a program for the freedom of its own; "and we don't intend to start any revolutionary movement or help any revolution in other people's country." He said he hoped that everyone will now understand clearly the hidden, secret purposes of the A. B. B. and not be deceived by it. He urged his hearers to pay absolutely no attention to whatever its leaders may say or do; that he believed the American government at Washington will take good care of them and fix them where they ought to be. "Negroes have no business." he concluded, "in allowing themselves to be mixed up with the Soviet Party, or any branch of it. You have your own party—the African Party. That's enough and it is as big a job as you can handle just at this time, and I don't want to trouble trouble." I believe the men who are engineering the A. B. B. movement are being paid for the work they are doing, and want to get you into trouble. My advice to you is to pay no attention to them; remain where you are—members of the U. N. L. A. or members of any other. Negro organization, but the A. B. B. working in a peaceful way to bring about better conditions in this country and in other countries where we live in large numbers, and ultimately effect the freedom and redemption of Africa." (Applause.) Mr William H. Ferris, Assistant President General and Literary Editor of the Negro World; was the first principal speaker. He had just returned from a visit to his mother, in New Haven, Cohan, and while there had attended a very enthusiastic meeting, of the D. N. I. A. As he opened the door upon entering the meeting, he saw and heard "decades" (Arden) Bryant of convention fame, thundering forth in true Gothic fashion. It was one of the most rounding meetings he had ever visited of the D. N. I. A. in New Haven, and he was glad to see that 1HE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 31. 1921 Nocatee was doing so well and putting so much energy and enthusiasm in his work in behalf of the association. The brilliant editor then turned his attention to an article that appeared in the editorial section of the New York American, relating to the great Sphinx. The reading, he said, read The Sphinx is as old as the days when the Ethiopian ancestors of the colored men (your neighbors) ruled Egypt. This he thought, was amazing, since the New York American is a paper that had attempted to hold the Negro in contempt, whereas now, in this article it recognizes the fact that black men once ruled in Egypt Another thing of interest he declared, was that "The Nation" the most literary weekly newspaper in America, devoted two pages in its columns to an article by Prof William Pickens on the Garvey Movement and Marcus Garvey. That such a publication of such great influence should in no signal a way give recognition to the N.I.A. is evidence of the fact that the movement is being taken seriously as a great force by thinking men and women of the opposite race as a great force of far-reaching conquests and mighty potentialities. The remainder of Professor Ferris' address dwell upon the Christmas occasion, and reflections upon the meaning and effects of Christ's coming into the world. It is the mission of the New Negro, he said, by his deeds, achievements, personality and progress forward, to change the thought of the world in regard to the Negro, and to teach the world that manhood resides not in the texture of the hair or the color of the skin, but rather the gray matter in one's brain, in the soul and character of the man. And it is because black men the world over." he concluded, "have been inspired by this thought that they look to the U N I A as the early Christians looke to Jesus Christ. Let us pay homage to that carpenter, that poet-preacher, that philosopher, that martyr who looked down the vista of the ages, saw human life under the shadow of the Almighty, saw that God created this world for some purpose, and man for some purpose, and that purpose to develop all the divine and God-like impulses of the human soul. It is these mighty hopes that make us mon, that make life worth living, and I am glad that the Negro has caught a vision higher than that of merely feeding and clothing his body, that of entering into his inheritance as the son of the Almighty God." MISS ALICE WAITE SPEAKS Miss Alice Waite, well known as one of the early active workers in the cause of the U. N I A and who has been absent from the city for some time past, was next introduced. She spoke impressively, saying she regarded a great pleasure and honor to be present and to speak on this occasion in Liberty Hall, to add to the Christmas cheer. She had been away, she said, to renew not only her courage, but to increase her brain power, so that she might be able the better to deal with the white man's government and to help her people as well. Miss Waite spoke in high praise of the Xmas edition of the Negro World, which she said was the ever last thing in journalism she had ever seen in all her life. "I have never read a colored paper." she went on. "wherein there was more than one language published, and the Xmas number of the Negro World brings great encouragement to more than three nations of the world." You should be very proud of the work, and exceedingly proud of your leadership. I trust that every member will take fresh courage, and go forward in the new year—and do as the Negro World asks you to do—to add new members to the U. N. A., that you may increase your power and influence over this entire nation." Referring to the aims and objects of the association, Miss Waite said that "the time has really come, when the Master Mind of God shall bring forward black men and black women the world over, who shall take their places in the front ranks, and Africa shall be redeemed, not by white men, but by Nebraska throughout the world." She closed, with a peroration which produced a favorable effect upon her hearings who applauded her very enthusiastically when she had resumed her seat REV. DR. R. MARTEN, OF LIBERIA, SPEAKS Rev Dr R. Harten was then introduced as being engaged in Liberia in industrial uplift work among the natives there. He is endeavouring to build in the heart of Liberia an institution similar to Tuskegee in Alabama. He is one of the standard hearers of the U.N.A. in the motherland. He has just returned from a trip to Central America and the West Indies in which countries he spoke in the interest of the association He expressed his great pleasure in having the privilege of addressing the people of Liberty Hall, and he was glad to realize that that the colored people in this country have at last awakened to a sense of racial consciousness. He paid a glowing tribute to the genius and leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and said he liked to picture himself what a great day in the history of the Negro it would be when, as he hope may yet be, this great leader will give the call to the four hundred million Negroes of the world to rise and march on and up the battle heights of Africa there to plant the standard of the Red the Black and the Green. He referred to the fact that there is great unrest everywhere in the world, in Egypt in India in Ireland, in Japan, in China in Africa and even in America due to "man a humanity to man." These signs of universal unhappiness are evidence that the people of the world are determined to see freedom enthroned, and to shake off the shackles of oppression and dependence by which the strong are holding in subjection the weak. Wherever the black man is found, there he is looked upon and treated as "the beast of burden, the object of insult and the victim of those who seek to pose as demi-gods. What, he asked, is the cause of this? Every effect has a cause, and that we are thus held everywhere in subjection and denied those rights that belong to us, because we have no land, no country of our own. It is impossible, he said, that we should ever have that complete freedom and liberty that God ordained that man should have, until we have a land and a government of our own, wherein the humbleest among us may have the chance, the privilege of rising from the lowest position to the highest in the gift of the nation. A few years ago the Japanese were considered as a nonentity but since they have belittled the proud blood of Europe, by conquering the Russians, and proven that they can stand forth and measure arms with any nation or power of the world, they have been admitted into the political, social, industrial and economic equality of other nations. Able to defend their rights, if need be, on the battlefield, Japan is today respected, and it will not be until black men and black women are able to meet the world in like fashion, equipped with a government of their own, with armies and navies of their own that they, too, will be respected. It is only through the instrumentality of the U N I A that the Negro can hope permanently to right the wrongs that now oppress him everywhere. It is the masterpiece, the supreme organization of all Negro organizations. It takes time to accomplish objects such as this association hopes and is striving to achieve. It can't be done in a day Time. patience and self-sacrifice are the elements required of us to attain our goal. All this the white man passed through, to reach the zonith of his position today, and we have got to travel the same route. We must not became discouraged if we meet hardships, but continue climbing and climbing, always united in numbers, and in the means at our disposal for accomplishing what we are after. Only in this way can success be achieved. To illustrate his point, he alluded to the forty years in which the children of Israel had to remain in the wilderness before reaching the promised land. Many died by the wayside, many gave up all hope, but by exhorting patience, standing together, and following their leader, they ultimately triumphed and reached the land which the Lord had promised them. Likewise the Negro race must become determined, stick together, work in unison and put its faith in God, and, the same as Hannibal, the great Negro general, climbed the Alps despite the almost insurmountable obstacles that were in his path. we will yet reach the promised land of our hopes the land of Africa, not enslaved and possessed of all races and peoples as now, but a free and redeemed Africa, basking in the sunshine of God's favor, with a government of black people, by black people, and for black people, the colors of whose standard shall be the Black, the Red and the Green. Dr. Horden said he had spent four years in the South Coast of Africa, in Liberia and West Africa—where he worked as a missionary under the National Board of the Baptist Missionary Convention, and it was while there that he learned of the U. N. I. A. immediately he became enthusiastic over it, associated himself with the movement, and has ever since then taken an active and strenuous part in its advancement. He organized the branch of the Association in Grand Basa, and before he left Africa he spoke in the representative hall there to a large-sized gathering of people in the interest of the Association. They are going on with the work there, he said, although the problem that confronts the people there is different from that which confronts the Negro here. The Liberiana, he said are anxious for the I. N. I. A., but they are afraid of its political aspect they are afraid it will be a government within a government Liberia is a free nation a black republic and they are free and the only aspect of our organization that will inspire them is the economic and industrial aspect. They are anxious to see the organization program, but are watching and waiting to see what you are doing here. The speaker praised the native people of Africa, saying that in point of physical development and physicality they contrast most favorably with any other race or people anywhere. All they need is our assistance in the form of supplying them with the means of acquiring a civilization and mode of living in keeping with the progress of enlightened nations and peoples. Dr. Harten had brought with him from Liberia a native born child of about five years old, whose mother and father live in the heart of that country in their crude state. He showed the little fellow who was dressed in true American fashion and looked like a pretty bright little chap. Dr. Harten spoke very extendedly, and was interrupted again and again with applause. He made a most eloquent close whistle seemed to carry his audience off their feet for when he sat down he was so feverously applauded and had to rise again and bow his acknowledgment. Before the meeting was brought to a close Prof Ferris gave out some important announcements, among those being that a special Christmas festival would take place Monday evening. December 28 when a special program of song and music would be furnished for the delight of those who attend, and that all could feel assured of an evening of unusual pleasure by indulging either in sports and games or in dancing, that would be provided also for the occasion. It was also announced that on New Year's Eve, Sunday next, December 31, a watch meeting would be held in Liberty Hall in which the entire public is invited. SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS SPEAKS The first speaker of the evening was Sir William H. Ferris, who spoke as follows The New York American has been a paper that has attempted to hold the African Negro up to ridicule and contempt and I was surprised this morning when I opened the editorial page and saw a picture of a Niphin, and then right under it stated that the Niphin is as old as the days when Ethiopia—the ancestors of the colored man—your neighbor—ruled in Egypt. It amazed me to see a paper that has always attempted to hold the Negro in contempt recognize the fact I have proclaimed for thirteen or fourteen years, amid contempt and ridicule at first that black men once ruled in Egypt. Then it goes on further to say the most famous of all the aphixes with thick Ethiopian lips and flat Ethiopian noses is the great Niphin of Ghiza carried in a single rock, 180 feet in length. That recognition by the N Y American of the black man a part in ancient history shows that "truth crushed to earth will rise again." One man says that when a lie gets a start on truth that truth will never catch up with it. Another man says "in lie only circumnavigates the world once, but truth goes on forever." This is just an illustration. Garvey Movement Gotten Into Society I am not to see now that the Garvey movement has what you would call gotten into society. At last the Nation of New York a weekly magazine which is taken by the highbrows, by the college professors (and the intellectual regard it as the most literary weekly publication), devoted two pages in the current issue to an article by Prof William Pikema on the Garvey movement and Marcus Garvey. While the article was not quite as enthusiastic as the one which appeared in The Negro World—it was evidently doctored up by somebody—the fact that the Nation recognized the Garvey movement by giving it two pages is significant. Then it says that a man to whom the representatives of the German press should write asking him to use his influence to take African troops out of Germany is no joke and is not to be deprised. So from all sources comes indications that for the first time in the history of the Western Negro since emancipation from bondage he has been taken seriously and is regarded as a serious force Thoughts on Christmas Today is Christmas Day when we celebrate the birth of babe that was born 1821 years ago in Bethlehem of Judaea. This morning as I passed by the United Congregational Church in New Haven I saw lines of automobiles there. I saw gray-haired bowed men come out of the church whence they had seen to give glory and pay homage to a Divine Being. Why was it? It was because of the impression which that one Man made upon human history. It was because he changed the trend of ancient history and set the thought of man burrying along a new line. When Christ was born slavery was imbedded in the social and industrial fabric of ancient civilization. Christ introduced one thought—that no matter how poor a man was; no matter how black he was; no matter how humble he was, he was still a child of God and his soul was still precious in the sight of Almighty God; and that thought pulsated through the Roman Empire and broke it to places until finally the son of a slave became Emperor of Rome and that Man's religion became the religion of the ancient world. Great men have lived in ancient times. Colored Entertainers Galore!

Every school boy can tell you who Hannibal was, who Alexander the great was and who Julius Caesar was. Every college and high school student can tell you who Hobbes was and who Plato and Aristotle was but there was not one of the Greek and Roman philosophers who would lift human life and dignity as the Man from Narcissus did and that was because He linked up human life with divinity. He showed that it was not only the skin the bones, the muscle and skeleton of a man which linked him with the animal world but that there was a soul a thinking principle an immortal self which linked him with God the great father and creator of the universe and that thought has been the thought that has revolutionized minds destiny in human history. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association has carried that thought one step further. When those statesmen skipped the declaration of independence and said all men are created free and equal they did not include the Negro in that category. They thought that he was something a little less than a man and little higher than the lower animals and the mission of Negro thinkers and statesmen has been to translate that difference—to make that term all men include black men as well as white men. How men and brown men In ancient times they had an aristocracy, but in modern times they have got a whiteocracy. In the last 300 years we have had a new criterion by which men and races are to be estimated. I up until 300 years ago men were estimated by their wealth, by their military and political power, but with the spread of the Caucasian race over the world, and the introduction of slavery 300 years ago a new idea crept into being and "whiteocracy" rated a man according to the color of his skin. They thought that the more white one was the more angel he was, and that the more black he was the more devil he was and that the difference between a saint and a devil resided in the color of the skin. It has been the mission of the black man by his deeds, and his achievements, and his personality, his upward thought, his aspiration to change that thought and teach the world that manhood resides in the gray matter of the brain, the brain of the hemispheres of the brain in the soul and character of the man rather than the color of the skin the texture of the hair, and the fineness of the feature. And it is because black men all over the world have been inspired by this thought that they look to the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the early Christians looked to Jesus Christ. Lot us on this day pay homage to that carpenter, that post, preacher and philosopher that martyr who looked down the vaults of the ages and saw human life under the shadow of the Almighty saw that God created this world for some purpose and man for some purpose, and that purpose was to develop all the divine and God like impulses of the human soul. It is these mighty hopes which make us men which make life worth living. I am glad that the Negro has caught a vision higher than that of merely feeding and clothing his body namely that of entering into his inheritance as a son of the Almighty God (Applause) MON MARCUS GARVEY SPEAK8 I will say a few words on the subject. The Message of Christmas 1921 years ago the son of God came into the world. His purpose was to teach man how to live to live the higher life. He came to the world because the world was in turmoil the world was in labor. Humanity everywhere rejected the principles of God the world needed then a Savior and He vouchsafed Himself to be the Savior. He came to us inhuman form flesh and blood. In His infinity man, his brother sought His life and He had to take refuge in Egypt From Egypt He went forth on His great mission, and as the hour approached He took upon Himself the great work of preaching to and teaching all of the great human race. Men were not disposed to hear Him even though he said He was the Christ He were not disposed to follow Him ever though He said He was the Son of God because he was not clothed in material power He was not surround with material wealth He was not bor within the confines of temporal glory Nevertheless He the Master and Father taught the people as He went alon on His journey through life. He was followed by the ordinary people of Him time—the lowly those who suffer most those who felt most. They be loved that there was something in the Christ that appealed to them, and a far as it was in their power they enraged Him. And by this great following of the lowly there came suspicion into the heart and mind of those who made up the government—who controlled the State wherein he operated. They were suspicious of this man who had disturbed the peace of the people—the great multitude. They looked up to Him as one to be brought under subjection not to be permitted to be at large because He was confusing the minds of the people. He was teaching the people new and strange doctrines doctrines that all men were equal doctrines that all men were brothers, doctrines that taught them that all men had a common Father called God. And this master reformer as He went about His work brought upon Himself the displeasure of the mighty—the dis pleasure of the powerful of the land They accused Him of being a disturbance of the public peace. They said that He was one not endowed by God, that He was one not truly representative of God and because of that He blamed the Most High God and that they should crucify Him Jesus the Christ was war of Himself part of God, He came to this world to save us from sin because He loved us so because He saw the dispensure of Him. Father over the condition that existed among us—that dispensure that probably would have brought about the wreck of the entire universe and the doom of the entire world. When an believed that the Father had had patience with this world with mongin then rebelling against him, this Son this Christ said He would come to save the world and even though from the largeness of His soul, from the largeness of His heart he vouchsafed to save us when He came among us with Jesus Him. We rejected Him years ago and there are millions of men the world over who are rejecting Him now. We rejected Him 1900 years ago as an impostor because He preached the bigger brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. I believe Christ were to come to the world to day and preach the doctrine He taught 1900 years ago men would still cruit. Him, because conditions have not changed—materially) temporally conditions have not changed, the same class of people who ruled the work when Jesus came—the same class of people who crucified Jesus as an apostor are the same class of people who rule the world today, and the same class who refused to give an opportunity to the oppressed of mankind. So after all we have not travelled very far from the time when our Divine Master came to this world. But wherever He is tonight—and he here as well as in Heaven—He know that the world has not changed but thank God among the millions who profess His name—among the million who worship at His footstool are he found Negroes everywhere. Who as Christ he came to us and was rejected by men, among those who accepted him—among those who succeed him—among those who helped him wore meed and women of our race. We followed him from the stable at Bethlehem to the Crusus at Galvary. We accepted Him first and we bade him farewell last and I feel sure that we have not changed after knowing God. We saw Him there 1921 years ago but a babe in the manger at Bethlehem and we still see Him now as our standard bearer. On this journey we have chosen to ourselves a free and redeemed land in our own—the land that succored on Davtor 1921 years ago when he w horn to us in the land to which w EH 0 ee t ee A EUS AAA EE WY os H Al A\ W [2 WW Li) EOWA be bo ny | STO Dip uN Lp £ ‘ mm £3 ry ‘ c 7 +.

NEW YEAR'S GREETING IN our boyhood days New Year was ushered in with much pomp and ceremony. All of the colored churches in the North were packed for the watch meeting. First from nine until eleven a testimonial meeting was held in which people told of their resolutions for the coming year. Then the pastor would preach a sermon and pray while the New Year was being ushered in. Then at midnight the people would rise from their prayers and would move around the church shaking hands and singing "We Wish You a Happy New Year." The worldly-minded would walk around the town blowing horns and making a general racket. In New York City Broadway would be jammed with gay festive crowds. Then on New Year's day from noon until midnight people kept open house. What surplus funds were left after the Christmas festivities were spent in celebrating the New Year. Men would ride around in open carriages in the afternoon (there were no automobiles in existence then), visiting their friends, who kept open house, where dainty lunches and sparkling wines were served. Then in the early evening they would attend private parties and receptions and finally wind up with a midnight ball. In the South the joy and festivities centered around Christmas, while the watch meeting usually culminated in the beginning of a revival. It seems to us that there is something of worth and value in both aspects of the New Year's celebration. The old year has passed into history. It is a closed chapter in our lives and in the life of mankind. Instead of grieving over the past and pining about our mistakes, neglected opportunities and sins of commission and omission, it is well to look forward to the new opportunities of the New Year, prepared to seize and grasp them. This thought was in the mind of the Apostle Paul when, in the 13th and 14th verses of the third chapter of his Epistle to the Phillppians, he said: "But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Many persons make light of New Year resolutions because more people break than keep resolutions. It is still helpful, though, to pause one day in the year to take our bearing and an inventory of our stock in trade and make plans for the future direction of our lives. Even though ideals always transcend the real and are never fully realized in actual life, they act as sub-conscious motive forces. And the man who is inspired by ideals and forms resolutions usually lives a nobler and fuller life and makes fewer mistakes than those who drift aimlessly on the sea of life, with no chart, compass and rudder. It is the natural tendency of man to grieve and pine over the odds against him and the disadvantages of his lot and condition in life. And when the Negro looks around him and abroad and sees his brothers disfranchised and segregated in the South, working at low wages in the West Indies and robbed of their land and worked like beasts of burden in South Africa, he has a natural tendency to lapse into a state of pessimistic fatalism. But the races and nations which have forged to the front in the march of civilization have faced and won out against overwhelming odds. And the black man must follow suit. The world has never been a perfect world. The strong have always oppressed the weak. Whether you hold the Biblical doctrine of the fall of man from grace, the Calvinistic doctrine of the natural deprivation of man or the Darwinian doctrine of the rise of man from the brute, you will see the lower self striving against the higher self, the passions which ally man to the brute creation, battling against the reason and conscience which are the light of divinity in the soul of man. Still the world today with its electric lighted and steam heated houses, with the steamship, locomotive, automobile, telephone, telegraph and wireless telegraphy is a better world than it was two thousand years ago in Pagan Rome, when slavery was woven in the web and woof of the fabric of civilization, when men fought wild beasts in the Coliseum of Rome, fought each other until one was killed or fatally wounded to amuse a holiday crowd and when Christian maidens and aged couples were thrown to the lions in an amphitheatre because they would not renounce their faith. Anyone who will take the trouble to read Frederick Douglass' story of his life as a slave will recognize that the 'Negro today in America is in a much better state and condition than his great grandparents were seventy-five years ago. Now it is well to be glad and to rejoice, to form new resolutions and look forward to the New Year, 1922, resolved to make the most of the few opportunities that Fate, or Divine Providence places in our lives.

Fired to the conventions of literature Boyd found too many African words in the book it is replete with crotchets and quavers and demi-semi quavers. Ignoring the rules of rhetoric, the author plunges along at a desperate rate, forgetful of the landmarks of style form clarity. With all these things Mr Boyd finds fault. Also he suffers at the introduction to the work which is a carping, meretrical indictment of the brutal colonial system of France. As far as Mr Boyd can see, what on earth has all this to do with a work of art a penetrating study of a savage chieftain? Incidentally, Mr James Weldon Johnson throws a ray of light on the subject. Mr Johnson tells us there is a tendency on the part of Negro poets to be propagandic. For this reason it is going to be very difficult for the American Negro poet to create a lasting work of art. He must first pugn himself at the feelings and sufferings and emotions of an outraged being and think and write along colorless sectionless lines. Hate rates of retuperation—all these things he must cleanse himself of. But is this possible? The Negro, for centuries to come will never be able to divorce himself from the feeling that he has not had a square deal from the rest of mankind. His music is a piercing, yelping cry against his cruel enslavement. What little he has accomplished in the held on literature is confined to the life he knows best—the life of the underdog in revolt. So far he has ignored the most potent form of literary expression the form that brought Marin the Goncourt award. When he does take it up it is not going to be in any half-hearted wishy-washy manner but straight from the shoulder, slashing murdering disemblawing! In the manner of Menken. THE PIONEERS frequently we hear some objection to a college and won a sheer knight which should be happen to make a toil to use, or speaking disparagingly to seize an order not to be as fortunate as he whose order to enable him to secure it in what easily piled a shoe brush in some hotel or did whitewash brush in the patrons and customers days when whitewashing was an art.

PICKENS, former dean of Morgan College secretary of the N.A.C.P., who won the oratorical prize at Yale University contributed and illuminated article in December 28 issue of 20 Wesley street, New York City, N.Y.

The Garvey movement appears to many-hued masses of the world and will appreciate it expresses their innate longings and craving and self-development. The success of the University Association in gaining adherents in every field marks a new epoch in the cultured life of the N.ons from this article will appear in the next issue. Not infrequently we hear some shop-keepers from a college and won a sheer, knot-written letter to him should he happen to make a little use of his Alma Mater speaking disparagingly to the seer and the generalation who happened not to be as fortunate as he whose other major sacraments in order to enable him to secure an education of those father dextrously pled a shoe brush in some hotel or did want service with a whitewash brush in the parlors and cellars of white people in the days when whitewashing was an art. These highly educated and exclusive young people forget that these high-times were the pioneers, who prepared the way and strove the paths they are now treading with roses and fought the battles and won the victories which made it possible for Negroes to educate their children, and for these modern day young upstarts to look down on them with a sort of pitying contempt. If these young scholars had the proper spirit and sense of gratitude they would hold an annual meeting where each year in honor of the self-sacrificing men and women of the race who had the vision, but lacked the power to give grammatical expression to what they saw and felt. They builted better than they knew and their children are now living in the castles which they built and are ashamed to commemorate their deeds in song or story. PROF. WM. PICKENS ON THE GARVEY MOVEMENT PROF WM. PICKENS, former dean of Morgan College and a field secretary of the N A V A C P, who won the Ten Ecky oratorical prize at Yale University contributed a very discerning and illuminating article in December 28 issue of the Nation, published at 20 Vesey street, New York City N A V A N His theme was "Africa for the Africans--the Garvey Movement." The most suggestive part of the article is contained in those words: "Whatever may be said by way of criticism this movement of the colored masses is anything but a joke. Neither Garvey nor any other human being could ever build up such a movement among the masses if it does not answer to some longing of their souls. His particular movement may fail the new realization business of the Negro will endure. Out of the colored people must come their own salvation." Prof Pickens is right. The Garvey movement appears powerfully to the ebony-hued masses of the world and will appeal years to come because it expresses their innate longings and cravings for self-realization and self-development. The success of the Universal Negro Imrpvement Association in gaming adherents in every section of the world marks a new epoch in the cultured life of the Negro. Further deductions from this article will appear in the next issue of the Negro World.

These poor whites have no more idea of forcing themselves upon the upper class of their race than they have of living without wings, for they know that they are not wanted any more than are Negroes, and they have sense enough to know that they would be out of their element in their society. The poorest Negroes who are living to face the issue appear to have lost eight of the old maxim: that a horse may be used to the water trough but cannot be forced to drink. If these whiners among us for all solid social quality because they are a little more cultured, educated and refined than the mass of their race, and who keep away from it because of its ignorance and lack of culture would use some of their culture, refinement and education in up up being cultured, refined and educated who need them more than do the white people. It would be one of the finest exhibitions of practice common sense that we can conceive of. The Negro in education and ign- nition, he escape his race and will be termed to run away from it in the United States of America who he has Negro-colored in the eyes. He ma- terialize and allow it for a time will be discovered ultimately and will have to do the dom- ination of the present century in America as determined that the Negro will merge in society with ther- s.

The man is now a Who is going to be the next gentlemen. --- Five years ago, a gentleman when he matured have been a very tired man with a thought that Sir Lloyd and Paul were very good men. It would be a surprise if the cast and not just the disarmament con- trol of Washington has played a last card at Japan and China being both of them if the international race and near might have a better understand- ance of the situation and a greater knowledge of these nations have long memories and they cannot be blamed if they suddenly take a position to stand to together on the race and raise a gust both of them by the United States of North America. The Chinese were the first to become the nation of American castle and their province and their nationals have been subjected to all sorts of indignities and results. The writer remembers hearing the ignorant Irish writer orator Dennis Kearney of California when he came to Washington. He nearly forty years ago to describe in something language from the state of the east front of the United States of the Chinese as a race. He railroad them in an entire continent on the Pacific coast and to them as ahasians who lived in the desert of the western states. That was at the time when China was raided by the allying army was as hard hit as after Pearl Harbor as the Chinese and Japanese were hit. I was not unnusual to go to want ada in the dirty waters the good. So I had sleep up now. There is or seems to be a part of America about the fate of China and the persecutive activities of her resourceful and impassioned girls in her internal affairs. We wonder why this is, and what prompt America to be so great is not rested in the future we care of China. The Oriental mind is said to be the pretestest in the word and it is not all impossible but improbable that the representatives of these two civil races will throw a bomb into the dismantlement conference that will make Mr. Secretary's highest performance at the opening session pale into insignificance and give the assembled wisdom and diplomacy from Europe pause. The Chinese and the Japanese like not white" eyes and are gled for the opportunity of paying the bill for much leadership To offer a comparison between Mar- us (curve) as an individual and any other six colored men collectively is still too much of a joke to cause any of the members of his association serious worry But perhaps it isn't a bad idea to have the N A A C P and its amalgamated white propagandist "kid" themselves a bit longer, or to think they can "kid" black folks much longer The day of awakening will be much more realistic and stunning Your truly E.

The minds of China and Japan have not yet been revenued in their fullness and completeness on the disarmament problem of the Occidental seer after information as to what either of these nations thinks or feels about disarmament. Their representatives have talked only in generalities so that up to date not any one in the conference or outside of it actually knows the Chinese and Japanese attitude on this question of the armament which is giving the white world a bad case of china especially when it visualizes 900 000 000 of these brown men of the Orient and realizes what a potential power for good or evil, they are in the present unpreparedness of the white race, which has been bled whiter by one of the most brutal and barbarous wars ever waged between human beings—civilized or savages and now these white nations are counting the cost and with their prophet Kipling are singing with heavy hearts. *For called our navies melt away* *On dune and headland sinks the fire* *Lo all our pomp of yesterday* *Is one with Nineveh and Tyre* *Judge of the nations, spare us not* *if we forget best we forget* *We would not like to predict what the decision of the Judge of the Nations will be in the present case* Standing on the Stench It does not matter to the citizens who are eminent in this country that there are in these shores many dignitaries and notable foreigners from nearly every country of Europe who have come here to discuss the question of the disarmament of the nations they engaged in a violent and brutal war which has shaken the foundations of governments and set the world in rage. They must the members of the element mentioned above because they are still savages and still are prone to these violent acts in the right to these acts by keeping up the brutal practice of lynching and burning Negroes at the stake to demonstrate the superiority of the Arab Saxon race and to power a governing race. In standing on the sketch created by their savage methods and war they cannot leave nor lose sight of their victims long enough to learn what the civilized world is saying and thinking about a country which is now attempting to adjust world differences and about universal peace through disarmament. When Amir Eskhari of our lawlessness and inv was already upon her stature issues which are sufficient to crush it forever the world will take her seriously and listen to her appeals for peace and justice with more respect but she cannot preach cream when her honor and integrity as a nation are threatened and live skimmed milk pending the adjustment of the peace.

As certainty in the night follows day America will pay the penalty with compound interest if she is not so stretched out her long arm in warning to three unofficial murders which suffer themselves alas the law and have become a law unto themselves. Mob violence is the best breed of race hatred, especially when it is directed against a helpless race like the Negroes of the South, that the innocent short sighted roughhouses of that section could introduce in their wild and impractical and impossible scheme to preserve the purity and integrity of their race, and if the government does not check the Negro may some day realising that he has only one time to die make lynching of his race so unpopular that it will be extremely difficult to raise a mob in the South to take a human life without due process of law.

I desire to ask you, could you furnish me with any pictures of Africa that could be used in a stereopticon lantern, showing Liberia, South Africa, Abysinia, the noted men and women agriculture, its soil, its mountains and anything of interest to prove to the masses of our people that what the white man says about the African being wild and savage is not true. I believe that will have great tendency in getting our people to join the U N L A. I do not agree with me, tell me the next best thing to do to draw them. I am making speeches at our meeting every week. I am anxious to see our government set up. If you agree with me, tell me if you can get the views for me and at what price. I would love to show all of our leading men here that are trying hard to put this movement over. I have learned more from reading your speeches and the speeches of the Hon. Marcos Garvey about my race than in all the white text books taught in our schools. Sincerely hoping for a favorable reply. Respectfully yours for the U. N. I. A. JOSF. F. BIGGS. 1017 W. Jefferson St. Louisville, Ky. --- Positively the most disgraceful dignified attack upon a class of that has come under our notice is waged upon the foreign-born people here by certain colored paper particularly the New York and the Amsterdam News' with the latter that we wish to in this article. In last week's issue of that p in describing a meeting that was terfered pitl by a number of peo not in harmony with its spirits occasion was taken to lecture the sign born. The habit has become that paper an obsession. Few w pass without some unfavorable qu tion of the oreigner. When it is a blow at the foreign-born genere it is at the lion Marcus Garvey, or Universal Negro Improvement As sociation of which he is the head, speaks of the U N L A as large an organization of foreigners, wh is known that of the entire memeb of this association in America, the foreign born constitute but a small per cent Now as to whether the personal, the they foreign or American or both, has a right to heckle the speakers in this meeting in question, we are unable to say as we were not present and we do not know what the speakers said which could have provided the protest. But we do know that it is possible for speakers to say things to justify the form of protest. But whether he heckling was justified or justified it is not a characterised trait to foreigners, or to race that matter for recently at a speed delivered by President Harding that was heckling but the President of the United States did not take occasion to场 at the mouth because some chose to make their objections and blee nor did the newspapers of the country including the Amsterdam News play up the rowdies who so to express themselves. As matter of fact, the sin of heckling it will all causes to be looked upon a sin has been tolerated, almost entirely conjured by our great democrats as few statesmen who have risen from obscurity to fame can point to a certain use of the thing which he caused the editor of the Amsterdam News to go mind with foreign policy. While we depose he heckling, we equally deploy the conditions which are in such sometimes He writer of the article on American born Negro who has written to himself his tradition as the editor of the Amsterdam News perhaps. He served his country during the World War and is a devout in the time of peace. But he has a racism for his country is not the kind to make him place a stumbling block in the way of it, foreign born brother, who finds America a similar place to pursue his course. Unlike Dugge of Pan American farm he was a Negro before he was an American, he did not feel that the return of an American citizenship required that he work in conjunction with those who are interested in the experience of an Negro. We have always our shop on about the patronism of some Negro away. If the editor of the Amsterdam News has anything against individual fighters of him take it out along the virtual line. Why attack the foreign who are generally law-abiding. As a matter of information the writer of the article is ashamed of the editor of the Amsterdam News as his countryman. But should this affect him in his relationship with other Americans? But we are not decided. There is a method in the madness of this editor. It is not a West Indian group he is fighting. He is fighting a movement which is fast bringing to light the law and undignified system upon which many Negro leaders in America have thrived for years, and that we hear an occasional whine from the tomb of the near dead is not surprising to any student who takes notice of what is going on about him. The Universal Negro in movement Association is the object of this rage Marvin Gurrey, a West Indian, started the Universal Negro improvement Association hence the fight on the West Indian. But how foolish are they who think that in this fight they have only West Indians to deal with. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the religion of the masses. Only God takes a place in thol. hearts higher than their destiny as wrapped up in this momentous movement. Erik. it where you will and there will be defenders born on the soil where you strike to give you battle. Americans are tired of these paltry leaders who for want of better argument, speak of this movement as a foreign movement when we know that one of the strongest wings of the association is right here in America. Moreover, the best blood in this country is fast linking up with this association and soon we may show the Uncle Toms of the race that they cannot attack with impunity an organization attending its own business and advancing the interest of Negroes throughout the world.

Marcus Garvey to unite us all. I venture to say that it would be in a short while. I know when I used to feel like my life was not worth living. after traveling over about twelve different countries. But, praise be to God, I am now asking the Lord to spare my life a few years longer that I may behold my fatherland Africa. I would be more happy than those nightingales which sing upon the branches of the trees. I, therefore, take pleasure in inviting each and every thinking Negro of the world to fall in line. Let's all join the choir of Garveyism, for as far as my experience teaches me it's the only song worth while singing by the four hundred million Negroes. I also ask the God of Jacob, the God of Daniel, and all those not men of old to keep Marcus Garvey under his wings, teach him in secret, that he may reveal it openly, and spare his life so he may see a free and redeemed Africa. Pray also that after his life is ended on this saintful earth, the chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof may take him safe into his Father's kingdom. Before I close I also take pleasure in writing a few lines to all the active members of the association, likewise friends, to be of good courage, be like Christians of old, determined to press on, knowing that better is on before. I close with these few lines of encouragement: --- --- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 31. 1921 M.

ENTHUSIASM IS ONE OF THE BIG KEYS TO SUCCESS INDIFFERENCE never translated steam into the driving force for transportation. INDIFFERENCE never changed pig iron into steel and steel into engines; nor perfected radioactivity for business and private use. ENTHUSIASM is the great energizer of the human brain. From the time Marcus Garvey was twenty, he held an enthusiastic vision of great accomplishment for himself and his race. He believed in himself and his race. Mr. Negro man or woman, do you believe in yourself and your race? You need enthusiasm, vision, imagination. You need all these things in order to visualize the possibility of yourself and your race and just in that proportion you have enthusiasm, vision and imagination you will contribute to the great accomplishment of your race. ENTHUSIASM, VISION and IMAGINATION are important factors in an individual as well as a race's development, but above all the Dollar must accompany these otherwise we can't get very far.

It has a Negro population between $8,000 and $0,000, and the U N I A. is just using its caterpillar wheel, going slowly up the hill of permanent success. A great mass of the Negro people had the left-handed idea of the aime of the U N I A, which was, no doubt imparted by people who meant well but acted otherwise. The Hon George A. Weston, president of the Pittsburgh division, is making all the friends he can with everybody and giving the true light of the U N I A. Among his friends are the ministers, those who are not only able to preach, but teach also. He had a confab with many of the Spiritual leaders on November 22 at the Ebenezar Baptist Church. The honorable gentleman was able to give a clear lucid information in regards to the U N I A. He thereupon cleared the stage for questions to be thrown up to him to be answered. He answered the questions so timely, emotional, and calm that, after the sitting, he was congratulated for his poise, mingled with reason common sense and sound judgment I must anyone word concerning the members of the division, if there be any praise to be given. I think the people, or rather the members, are more to be congratulated than any one else. The people are thinkers, although it was always said that the wise men are from the East, and what is more, you can't fool them they just won't let you, but they will listen to reason and facts. The mills are expected to be opened in the very near future, and the white folks have decided to help those who try to help themselves, so do not be surprised when this division starts to go over the top, as they have a "steel" determination and will only expect the "Wheel City" (Detroit) to be a serious competitor The U N I A like matter, it occupies a great space on this planet. it is made up of a great force and will take the corresponding force to move it, and that force is the money force. Every Negro, active members and others, should try and put the thing over by subscribing your $5 and over in the African Redemption Fund, and make 'Garvey's dream' materialize. We must keep in mind the words of Dr Frank Crane, the idealist usually fails. But his blood is the seed of progress. The idealist leads, the practical follow. Practical folk fly in machines which idealists dreamed for them, so both are necessary M BETHEL. Secretary. Pittsburgh Div No. 61 MR. E. R. MAPP OF ST. LUCIA PASSWAY On November 2 Mr E. E. R. Mapp, of this division, passed away after an illness of several months. The deceased member was one of those members who were instrumental in bringing into existence this division of the U N I A. He was a very forceful speaker and an energetic officer Owing to his having been out of work for a long time, the deceased was unfinanced at the time of his death, but the U N I A. could not think of any of its members dying being buried without some financial help from the ENTHUSIA INDIFFERENCE never needs and private use.

TO Editor Negro World. Dear Sir—A few days ago it occurred to me that it would be a good idea to get a New Year's thought or gem from the officers and employees in the office, for the following reasons. That sometimes a thought sums up one's character. At the end of the year one can look back and see whether each individual lived up to the sentiments he or she expressed. I am sure that the members of the U. N. I. A. would like to know what the people at the head office are thinking about, and it got a New Year's greeting from each individual. For in my opinion the employees play just as important a part in the guidance of the affairs of the association as the officers and strife, and back-billings and slandering each other for the edification and deception of the white man, who still believes that ours is a backward and incompetent race and incapable of going forward. Let us resolve to go forward. BRUCE-GRIT May the year 1922 give increased inspiration, ambition and courage to the millions of my race throughout the world H VINTON PLUMMER.

HARRISON Sir William H. Ferris, Editor The Negro World. 58 W. 125th Street. New York City Dec. 10, 1921 Honorable Sir: I have enjoyed reading President-General Garvey's article on "Malicious Propaganda" on the first page of The Negro World of December 10. Turning to page eight I read under "With Our Contributing Editor" an article signed by Mr. Hubert Harrison which impels me to refer back to page one where I note the quotations: "Evil to him who evil thinks" and "There is no one more criminal than he who thinks criminal of others." In the article on page eight it apparently is not enough for Mr Harrison to make false inferences against the Chiropractic College in Harlem. In addition he has shown his ability as a general "mud-singer" and has brought into his article erroneous statements against the moral character of the students in attendance at this college, all of whom are members of his race and citizens of good standing, and many of whom were members of the association and stockholders in the corporations which make possible the publication of the newspaper in which his slanderous article appears. Personally, I am well aware of the fact that this hypocritical article was not published in the full knowledge of the Negro World's editors who occupy lofty places in my esteem. Therefore I feel it my duty not only to defend the institution of which I am the head and its students, but also to convey to you the circumstances out of which the article in question arose. In the first place let us consider whether or not there is truth in his statements against our college. The Cosmopolitan College of Chiropractic is offering a course of instruction in the science of chiropractic covering a period of three years of seven months each, with an aggregate total of over two thousand sixty-minute hours in class lectures. The student is given a thorough knowledge not only in anatomy, physiology and diagnosis, so emphasized by Mr Harrison, but also in chiropractic philosophy and practice, pathology, chemistry, histology, embryology, dietetics, first aid hygiene and sanitation, etc. Besides the writer the faculty includes Dr Oscar Wald, graduate of Fordham Medical College and New York College of Chiropractic a professor of eight years experience and a teacher of exceptional ability. Dr Henry O Harding, graduate of New York Homeopathic Medical College, nine years in the practice of medicine and a very able professor as is evidenced by his successful record. Dr Roland W Flander, graduate Belleview-Mills Training School and New York College of Chiropractic at present teaching also at Belleview Hospital of this city and assistant to Dr McAllister recognized as one of the world's greatest anatomists. Dr Antonio Avocato, graduate of New York College of Chiropractic honor man of his graduating class experienced in teaching at his alma-mater and a successful practitioner. No effort or expense is spared in accuring for our faculty the most capable men available in their respective subjects. So much for the curriculum and faculty. In regard to whether or not the students are being well taught allow me to issue a challenge to any school or college of chiropractic to produce as many students as they wish from their institution and prove them in open contest to be equal in knowledge of their profession to students of our college in the same grade. The clinic operated at the college building has brought health to hundreds of Harlem citizens who will gladly recommend it as fit for the most fastidious and conducted in a courteous, sympathetic manner, service to the sick, the aim and end. The Cosmopolitan College has nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide. We have been and will continue to be open and above board. Surely we would not have been as successful as we have wore we not delivering the goods." We are PROUD of our student bodies, representatives of the great Negro race, and they are in turn proud of their alma mater In regard to Mr Harrison perhaps, you are aware of the fact that some months ago he was recommended to me as a man of exceptional teaching ability and was engaged by me to lecture at our college on the subject of Embryology. While a member of our faculty he was indeed a "booster". Could it be that he was mistaken in his judgment of the college as an INSIDER and found out MORE about its quality afterward when he had not even a good second-hand knowledge of what was going on inside? After he had been relieved of his position, he became an efficient as a "knocker" as he had been as a "booster". Could it be that the college had been steeped in ignorance because of his absence? Does it not appear to you that Mr Harrison's antagonistic attitude and his indocent article is "mallicious propaganda" from a standpoint of personal spite? In conclusion, allow me to cordially invite yourself and any persons interested to visit our institution, talk to our faculty members and students, compare our facilities and curriculum with that of other schools, and it will be found that our college is not only above others in quality and extent of teaching, but that our student body is second to none as a capable, moral and representative group, eager to learn and imbued with the spirit of "good will to all, malice toward none".

All of us were taken into this Western World to work in a high period of time, and we have developed a civilization that has become that world at large acknowledges the intellectual worth of the people present in the world. We present to them a civilization that mirrors with a civilization that he understands and is able he does apply himself. The political boundary is being readjusted, and in this readjustment, every Race is endangered sufficiently secured as to protect its own integrity. Hence, the cricitish Poland for the Poles, Palestine for the Jews. All the Negroes in America, Canada, the West Indies, South and Central America are descendants of the native Africans who migrated to the Western World to work as slaves during which period of time we came in contact with the white man's civilization. Out of this contact, we have developed a culture that is deeply rooted in the intellectual worth of the present-day Negro. The present generation of Negroes is far removed from the glaze of one hundred years ago. The Negro misses with a civilization that he understands and is able to cope with. Today, the world is undergoing a change. The political boundaries of humanity are being redefined. The world is becoming more diverse. The home sufficiently secured as to protect the lives of everyone, Hance, the cry of Ireland for the people of Ireland, the cry of the world. AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS The Universal Negro Improvement Association—the greatest Negro organization in the world—is now making the cry of Africa for the Africans at home and those abroad who were torn from their homeland by war, age and worked for two hundred years in this Western hemisphere, but who are today among the civilized peoples of the world. CIVILIZED NEGRO MUST FOUND A GOVERNMENT With the civilization of the Western Negro, we must found a government of our own, which will be the greatest principle of life, which the Bags may oblige us to adhere to the great ethnic principles of. STRENGTH COMMERCIAL STATE IN LIBERIA The Universal Negro Improvement Association has laid its plans for the redemption of Africa by first building up a strong industrial and commercial state in the North Africa. The organization is the independent New Republic by runaway and freed Negro slaves from America. This country is dominated by all ad hoc people. The President and entire Government are colored.

Loan it for 400. It is now. Therefore for American, West Indian, South and Central American and Canadian Negroes to buy Liberty Loans in the Universal Negro improvement Association and help to build up Liberty as a strong and powerful force, we must educate all the Native Tribes of Africa to the higher principles of self-Government.

For the purpose of education, the building up of a great industry is of no use for the Negro to continue to depend on the good grass of the world, because we are now living in a selfish, materialistic every Race is looking out for itself. ALL NEGRO PEOPLE SHOULD UNITE THEIR FORCES. Because of the security of all that tends to human happiness and a strong sense of self, we are in need of institutions of his own. The world is large enough for him to live all other places. Africa now opens up a golden field of opportunity every progressive Negro who deserves his own advancement. The hour has struck for universal activity among the Negro peoples of the world. It is for them now to concentrate on the relations to depend on the good graces of the other Races of the world, because we are now living in a selfish, material age when each and every Race is looking out for itself.

A. Charles, who read a paper on the subject as follows. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a chartered institution having for its objects, (1) the universal conservatory of Negroes; (2) the promotion of race pride, courage and love; (3) the recitation of the fallen in the Negro race; (4) administering to, and the assistance of, the needy among us; (5) the assistance necessary to the civilization of the backward Negroes; (6) the necessary to the development of independent Negro nations and communities in the principal countries and cities of the world; (7) the promotion of a conscientious spiritual worship among the native tribes of Africa, the establishment of universities, colleges, academies and schools for the racial education and culture of the people, the conducting of a world-wide commercial and industrial intercourse for the good of the people, and the betraying of the conditions in the Negro communities, the establishment of hospitals, as well as the U. N. I. A. has itself to the task of uniting into one solid body the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, to link up the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States with the 30,000,000 of the West Indies, with the 40,000,000 Negroes of Central and South America, with the 230,000,000 Negroes of Africa, for the purpose of bettering our commercial, industrial, educational, social and political condition. It is needless for me to tell you this world today is divided into separate race groups and different nationalities. Each race and nationality is being served to its own destiny to the exclusion of other races and other nationalities. Hence we are raising the cry of Africa for the Africans for those at home and abroad." This was followed by a song by S. D. H. Wilson, entitled "The Beautiful Girl," well rendered and deserving of much credit. The closing remarks were by the chairman, Mr. Charles A. Thomas, who praised all those who had taken part in these meetings and he spoke of a bright future in view for the Guantanamo Division No. 164. The interest taken by those coming on the trip of the captain to us the aim and objects of our mission among colored races, deserves much credit.

Thanking the audience for their attention and behavior, the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian. Anthem at 10:30 o'clock. hanking you for space. Mr Editor Yours for Negro progress. RICHARD A. CHARLES, Chairman Honorable Advisory Board and Captain of Le- gions and Secretary Literary Debating League, Guantanamo, Cuba. PITTSBURGH DIV. NO. 61 AND EAST LIBERTY DIV. NO. 134, U.N.L.A.& A.C.L We have been singularly blest in the past six months in having in our midst a trinity of giants who not only know the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A., but were able to me them clear to the people of Pittsburgh. This trinity of giants are H. G. Weston, president of Pittsburgh Division and acting president of East Liberty Division; Hon. W. G. Francis, executive secretary, and Rev. J. J. Cranton, who has since been called to other fields, Quipley, but effectively, H. Hon. Mr. Weston been working, helping those in need in every way possible. He really seems staired against all subtests. What was said of Frederick Dudmar by Paul L. Dudmar may be said of Hon. Weston: And feels himself too mighty to be small. Some weeks ago Hon. Wesion was permitted to address an audience at Elenesse Baptist Church. On Monday, November 21, Hon Weston was successful in being allowed to address the Baptist Ministerial Conference, composed of ministers of our race of the Baptist churches, wh. most regularly every Monday at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. J C. Austin, pastor. Stating very emphatically that the organisation was the Universal Negro Improvement Association, reading the preamble thereof to the constitution. Hon Weston began his speech, and continued, stating very clearly his aims and objects; and that the ultimate object is the redemption of Africa. There was rapt attention for almost all of the audience. Hon Weston was paused to allow questions to be asked. There was absolute silence for a few moments. Then came one question, followed by question after question, so that sometimes two or three ministers were standing at the same time crying for recognition. Questions—What is the financial plan of the organization as to raising and distributing money? Has it a charter in each State in which it operates? What are the limitations set to Mr. Garvey? What is the attitude of the movement towards the Scriptures? Does it publish any other literature besides the Negro World (referring to some other religious organizations whose name of which was unknown)? Does the organization plan a direct church denomination (many members attending U. N. I. A. l. services and not their respective churches)? Are the members at liberty to hold services in the morning and evening? What is the attitude of the movement towards the church and ministers? How can a self-respecting minister be accorded what is due him? What is the method of redeeming Africa, from within or without? How did Mr. Garvey get his position? Do you think any redemption of Africa is possible without God? How can I preach the principles of Jesus and line up with any one race? Can I amteach justice from any government? Of what church are you a member (referring to speaker)? It is a deplorable fact that so many people are not able to differentiate between race prejudice and race pride or race consciousness. On Friday evening, November 25, a grand mass meeting was held at Good Hope Baptist Church. The pastor is Dr. Askew, one of God's called men, a whole-souled man, who not only was there to welcome us himself, but also had his members present. This meeting was under the auspices of the East Liberty Division. Members of the Pittsburgh Division were present to swell our numbers. The program was interspersed with musical numbers. Special mention must be made of the dust sung so sweetly by Mrs. P. Bailley and Miss Ebelia Davis. Dr. Akhwat welcomed us, speaking in glowing words of the U. N. I. A. A. constructive talk was given by Hon. W. C. Francis, executive secretary, a logician, a maste, mind, who thinks all the time, and a most valuable assistant to Hon. Weston, particularly on these special occasions. The general secretary then recited an oration on "Early Christianity in Africa." An address was then delivered by Mr. Thornton, vice-president of the Herron Hill Division, in his unique and original manner, advising the inoculation of race pride. Hon. B. S. Clark, barrister-at-law, of Brooklyn, N. Y., spoke eloquently, urging us up and onward through the gates of progress, and telling us to have faith to conquer all obstacles. Hon. G. A. Weston then arches to the occasion, for it seemed as if the very flood gates of his soul were opened, as his clear voice rags out telling of the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. for the final redemption of 400,000,000 of suffering mankind. Again, in a most vigorous and effective manner. Dr. Askow said, "We must learn to work together and keep our racial affinity to our people. Marcel Glerer (God-inspired) and vision." Deniedance was pronounced. We feel very grateful to Dr. Askow, who is not only a practical minister, but also a scholar, and a man who dares stand for the truth. Great praises should be given Hon. Weston, who is working quietly, but doing good work for God and humanity. We also feel much credit is due our excellent trust board, for it was through the continued efforts of Mr. Robert Love, a member, that we secured the above church. Hon. Weston making the final arrangements for it. We are praying and working to that end, that all men everywhere (especially Pittsburgh) may be truly We regret to report the death by suicide of Mr. P.

We shall always remember him with gratitude. He was an excellent soldier and had played a prominent part on the battleside of France.

FINNEY. General Secretary. MONTREAL NOTES Maple Lodge of G. U. G. F. Organizes Household of Ruth Club The regular fortnightly meeting of the Maple Leaf Lodge of the G. U. O. F., which convened last evening, was very interesting. Rabby's Hall, which is the temporary meeting place of the members, was the scene of unusual activity. The preliminaries were executed hastily, as there was scheduled for the evening the organization of the members of Ruth. Consequently a fair attendance of Indies responded for the occasion. After the lodge meeting was closed the men remained to take part in the women's deliberations, which was only presided by Brother Morris Deshiela. "Blessed be the Tie That Bind," and was followed by the chaplain's prayer. The chairman delivered the address of the evening, in which he expressed his admiration of the women's interest, so significantly centered in the affaire of the chairman, and proficiency in all branches of knowledge and industry was the climax of his discourse. The next item was an inspiring address of welcome to the ladies by Brother James Gibson, whose striking personality and elegance of expression elicited much interest and applause. Brother J. E. Christopher, in his usual dignified manner, introduced a resolution expressing the approval of the judge concerning the proposed club. The resolution was adopted and the club formed. The election of president followed. Mrs. Leon Deshiel was the favorite candidate. The other officers include: Mrs. J. Christopher, vice-president; Mrs. E. Gibson, secretary; Mrs. Crawford, treasurer. The business comprised admission to the club, enrollment of members, nomination of investigation committee, name of club, admission fees and dues, time and place of meeting. The singing of the Doxology closed a unique evening. The local branch is on the eve of closing its political activities as election is drawing near, while we must thank the promoters of the Colored smithville Club for hate activity in the palestine area of community. Mr. Twalilas and Dr. Thomas are among the live wires. Mr. James Gilbert with his energetic executive, is giving a new dynamic force to the U. N. I. A. Literary Club whose outlook is promising. CHARLES H. D. ESTE. MONTREAL NOTES The Dunbar Literary Club Flourishes Still—It Is Suggestive of Tomnyson's "Brook" The U N. I. A. Literary Club is noted for doing things, and big things besides. Mr. James Gibson is always springing something new—something that the people like. His executive work is excellent. Lady Davis and her escort, Dr. Brita Gittens, visited the Okmilmen Division No. 133 and captured the entire district, by their eloquence. Even the critics of the organization were converted, and made members of the D. J. L. A. and A. C. L. An entire week was spent with this division in a series of revival meetings. Dr. Williams, its president, was always at his post, he never left a stone injured, and did everything possible to advertise his meetings to make them a success, and to make our stay, as comfortable as could be. The meetings were very easy, and we were along among the members that had to be straightened out, and when we were leaving there, many sorrowful hearts. Several numbers came from my out in the country to hear of the good work that we being done. We were sorry we could not remain longer, but we were ordered to thankoga for further work. DR.

WOMEN A DREAM OF HOME The sun was shining brightly. The air was full of spring. My heart was full of pleasure. I tried in my mith to sing, but— I dreamed, and lo, I stood in a garden Of flowers of brightest hues. And around sat the most beautiful maidens. All decked in pink and blue. Their breath was as sweet as the lilie That were growing all around. Their eyes were as dark as the span rows a would be If you should see him while on the ground Their skins were as dark as the raven And smoother than velvet could be; The song that they were singing was "This lilah is for you and for me." I knew that I was in Africa. I saw my home once again. And I too joined in the chorus and/ That was a glad refrain In that and all things were wonderful How beautiful some dreams may be come; I was soon amidst the hilarity. Because I thought I was home. I was like to a king in his castle. Who from home had strayed away When we heard strange voices singing Yes that was a happy day. Also in the midst of my dreaming My mother's voice I heard; I perceived that she must have been angry, for She said "He's a lazy bird!"* I awakened from my reverie. My beautiful dream was gone. And I was left as ever. Destitute, poor and forlorn. BYRON MARSHALL *In this case the word bird, general, a slang, is used to preserve the rhyme of the verse. Written in May, 1920 GREAT THINGS DONE It was getting near on to Yuletide. In the year nineteen twenty-one, When I solemnly began to think Of the great things that had been done. I followed the Star of Bethlehem, That guided me to the manger, Where the Lowly Infant had been laid Exposed to all harm and danger. I walked through the Garden of Eden And through that of Gethsemano; Then I travelled along the road That leaded on to Calvary. I was His head in breath the heavy cross I behold Him the whole and strain. When only one was found to help Him And that was man of syrne. I heard the awful groan of anguish, And bittersweet lamentation; Saw the greatest deed that was ever done. In such great humiliation. I hurried to Joseph's sepulchre, And I saw the tomb rest in twain; Twas there I behold unbelievers Pay homage to His Holy Name. The whole universe was in tumult. For His name was spread far and wide; And there was no place in creation, His wonders that ever could hide. In every nook, in every corner. His precious name has found a place; For whatever that He had done. Was He the ruler of race. I think of King Solomon's wisdom. And I think of his great abode. I think of the great speed of John. In the charm which he rode. I think of Thomas Proulx Buxton. In his dealings with England's Queen. When he declared his sure conviction That freedom should surely have been. I heard when the German Emperor Vowed, that nothing he could debar To lead the European countries Into a long and bloody war. I went also to France and Flanders; Took note of great deeds by heroes. And I heard the lord proclamation— The war was won by the Negroes. A man was killed in the war. When he started, his great campaign to show that in every race of man, One of such has a right to reign. His, like Moses, on Mount Sinai, I humble his receive the command. That of the right, given to mankind. He should his kindred's share do- mand. He has been told to lead the people! All these that are to him alkin, he to banish all poor, of minute, As he with God would try to win. BEHOLD A STAR (Christmas poem from Bermuda that arrived too late for the contest!) Awake the harp! Awake the lute! Awake the lye long since mute! Rouse ye minstrels far and near. Discourse sweet music to mine car. Ye watchers of the night, behold A Star auspicious and foretold. That gilds with gold the gladness morn On which our Saviour Christ was born. From north and south, from east and west. Ere yonder sun shall sink to rest. From each domain beneath the sun Ere its diurnal course is run. People mourn the dear To every nation, far and near. That where or Christ-like hearts abound Ecstatic strains may there resound. Take up the strains Negroes! And give To God the praise, who bade us live Through years of suffering till the day When Marcus Garvey came to say 'Awake! Arise! Behold a Star' I see it shining from afar" Oh tell me, "Man of Destiny." The name of this fair Star you see. That shines with indiance divine And nakes my heart to thee incline Is it the Star of Bethlehem That shone o'er fair Jerusalem. That which the watchful shopper's saw And gaud o'er Judah's plains in awe? Is it an Occidental Star That shines on cursed Jim-crow car. Illuminating ghastly scene Where lynching, burning reign supreme? Is it an Oriental Star That shines on Afric's gruesome scar— On lust and greed, and racial hate Predominating lost estate On Afric's soil which shelter gave To Jesus Christ from Herod, knave. The land of Ham—God's precious gem— Revil'd by Japhet and by Shom? Oh tell me, "Man of Destiny." The name of this bright orb you see! Then list! Shake off your childish dread And like a man lift up your head. The scales remove your sight to free. And thus behold the Light with me. The Star you see in yonder sky. Is sent to cheer your drooping eye— A Star of Hope, a Star of Love, A Star of Faith from God above. 'Tis not the Star of Bethlehem That shone o'r fair Jerusalem! 'Tis not an Occidental Star That shines on cursed Jim-crow car! 'Tis not an Oriental Star That shines on Afric's grusome scar! It is the "Universal Star" To cheer the Negro, near and far; To bid him rise and be a man. For God includes him in His plan. 'Twas midnight when that radant Star Shone out above the Orient bar, And sent a scion shimm'ring ray, Before then, a perfect day I saw a form majestic stand. Ethiopia with outstretch'd hand, Beckoning, calling into me To hate, to bring her Liberty. Then hark! Lift up your drooping head. And quit for aye your alumb'rbed for Christ has sent me in his stead To wake ye Negroes from the dead; To tell you on His natal morn. To one of blood all men are born. Lol Ethere! vaults are rent, And God one orb has sent To lead the way to Ariac's strand, Whose Ariac's children soon shall stand Wake Ethiopic son's from far: Gaze on the golden morning Star Emblazon'd on this orb of gold, Behold, in shining letters bold, That which has been revealed to me— "One God, One Aim, One Destiny!" Oh tell me Man of Destiny, What also doth God reveal to thee? "I see the 'Man of Gallice' Waving the flag of Liberty; And so I gaze upon the scene I see the Red, the Black, the Green; I see my home unfettered, free! Africa redeem'd for me." Ahl Now my clouded vision's free, I see, I see the Star with thee: And running from my lethargy, Will strike a blow for Liberty— Till Africa my home be free. Then shout en' through eternity— "Behold the Star of Death!"" These things shall be are world's shall cease. And Jesus come, the Prince of Peace. No move shall nations fear! No peace of friendship they shall bear! Their wards and speeches they need no more. But change them into garden lore. These things shall be are wars shall cease! And heaven grant her reign of peace.

Dear Mr. Editor: Permit me space in your valuable paper to let my voice be heard through the medium of your column. It is really a surprise to set that, despite the advantages offered in this world-wide movement called Garverson, and the warnings given to the race from time to time by our humble leader, we, in this part of filibuster society, are still callous over the scheme, when we very truth it means our very existence. Or that has taken bold of us? Is it the wrong doctrines that has been taught us to the black man can never put anything on the hat or the hatred we had been taught of ourselves? You! Have you no belief that the very God who made the white man that made you, too, humans as he is. And as He gave us knowledge to do. He gave you, too. Wake up, for God's sake, my dear countrymen, wake up! God never gave the white man alone power to rule. Wake up, I say! The time has come for us, and if we do not set it now, right away it means for us another thousand years. It may, perhaps, be you are afraid. Afraid of what? Don't you see that God's hands are on the whole scheme? Who on earth of Himself could dare such? Not both but God Whom. So fear not. As for me, I have joined the line of righteous ones. I proud and thankful to God fur. Come to righteous one. If with faith and courage we press on victory will be ours. Listen to no criticism. Our Divine Lord. Himself, despite He came to save the world, had been criticized. Would to God the heart He gave me, Were but the same to all given: The vision of Garvaym to catch so apon. Ethiopia in no distant day.

And as they come on airy wing They seem to murmur, seem to sing: I hold my breath I strain my ear The waited sounds are drawing near And as they come it seems to me They fleal from over the distant sea. Harik! I listen—and to me There comes this faint sweet melody: "Ethiopia, thou land of our fathers. Thou land where the gods loved to be As storm at night sudden gather Our armies come rushing to thee. We must in the fight be victorious When swords are thrust outward to gliman For us will the victory be glorious When led by the Red, Black and Green." "Whin led by the Red, Black and Green" Pray what does that mean? I listen in awe and in wonder— Look! Look! what is this that I see Something queen, something strange has occurred A wondry has happened to me!— The stars shine so brilliantly 'oer me They seem to be nearer at hand; I cast my eyes downward—below me, I see our vast, dear motherland.

The white man dared my bark to sail Upon the seas of scorn, Where icebergs float, of prejudice, And disdain darkens morn. I turned my face toward the gale And boldly sailed the sea; I heard their insults and their taunts That drifted back to me. My bark was tossed like chaff aloft— It seemed to brush the stars. I rode on billows' breasts that seemed To brush the flame of Mars; But it was not tempest's shock. Nor yawning graves I feared— I longed to reach the port of peace. Where captives could be cheered. Yet I could not bide with those In lantas of sun and ease That banished hearts which loved the slave To tempest shaken seas. So blow, wild winds—in exile's bark Is drifting on thy sea; Yet naught may blight the love for slave. That blooms in heart of me.

THE AIMS AND OBJECTS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION By S. A. HAYNEG. The aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are of indispensable service not only to the Negro race, but to all other races—those oppressed and those unthreatened by oppression. To better appreciate and understand this service we must link them up with the thrilling worldwide events of the past six years. The mighty conflict between the great nations which descended like an avalanche on what was supposed to have been a peaceful world in the historic month of August, 1814, and came to a partial close on November 11, 1818, forced from the lips of rulers and stateless sentences mutually worded to express as solemnly as possible the sentiments of the people they represented. The neutrals, as well as the rivals took timely records of such sentences, as today we find them carefully preserved in the archives of literature. Out of this conflict sprung up a host of societies, Ragues and associations, all flushed with national ambition. These came into existence through the influence of men desiring to the utmost to safeguard the interests of the race they represent; men who, in loyalty to themselves and to the cause, have plodged their very lives to uphold the principles laid down. Note, too, that the laws governing the arts and the lofty ideas set forth, graced with the perfume of noble words from noble minds, readily winning the sympathy of the people. These sentences and these organizations are credited invariably to the genius of the Caucasian race, but in fairness to humanity all let those who love justice pause awhile and credit the Negro race for the genius it has shared with mankind, not only during the last six years, but over civilization had its birth on the banks of the hospitalizable Nile. That race that in ages past has been, and still is, the balance of power; that race that builted up without compensation the great American Republic, the British West Indies and the rich African domains of Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Portugal; that race whose fighting qualities are respected when of the cannons rear—and yet not known. Let us pass on. The rulers and statesmen of the world gave of their best in language during those four years of war; many organizations were founded at the time but there is one man, one organization, one sentence that modern statesmen and modern literature have not been able to surpass in forcefulness of character and sincerity of purpose. The man, because of his universal love for his face and for humanity; the organization, for its unselfish a and objects; the sentence, for its virion warning to civilization. This man is the Right Honorable Marcus Gervay, elected leader of the Awakened Negroes; this organization is the Universal Negro Improvement Association; this sentence—pass on, it closes the entire story. I can hardly believe there is one single individual with Negro blood coursing through his veins that has not heard or read something about the aims and objects of this Association. They are being explained daily to the millions of suffering black souls in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. They are to the Negro what food is to the human system; they are the only reminding avenues by which the Negro is enjoined to enjoy true freedom, true liberty" the only avenues by which, as a race, he can command the respect of other races and by which we can ever succeed in uniting into one great family the 400,000,000 scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia. Place these aims and objects alongside those of other organizations and the Universal brings home the crown for constructiveness and feasibility. Ours is a program that has no peer educationally, industrially, commercially, socially and emotionally, but that has a higher intellectual exercise than hatred. But above all, the world conscious of the power of governments, is started in the government for the protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality in the motherland. Africa; a government that all those allies shall be none but those of the African people. These aims and objectment that shall teach others how to govern, control and respect humanity. When We face the stubborn fact that no other Negro organization has the establishment of such a government encoubled in its book of faws, and as we know that no race of people is safe without the protection of its own government, there is nothing left for Negroes to do but associate themselves with those who will protect them and their children from the etiquing insults. These aims and objectment stand down. These aims and objectment of the race in every sphere of labor, they prove, to the world that what needs to be exercised for the happiness of mankind is that spirit of unisoning selflessness, which makes this blessed world a world of work. They quilted you in action, gave you backbone, prepared you for active service, guard your life and property, gave you fresh courage, reminded your ideals, the destiny of the common nation, and saved your life into this world. to: inspection. One God, One Alm, One Godly. To return to sentences: The Universal Negro Improvement Association, seeking in a legitimate manner to bring about a lasting peace between the 400 million Negroes of the world and those who oppress and entlave them, desiring nothing but justice for those whom it represents by authorization. has named, its program based upon the principle of right, and having set out on its peaceful mission pledges kindness, believing always in the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God; at the same time calling the attention of the civilized world to the closing words in its Preamble: "Let justice be done to all mankind, realizing that if the strong oppresses the weak confession and discontent will ever mark the path of man, but with love, faith and charity towards all the reign of peace and plenty will be healed into the world and the generations of men shall be called blessed." (Honorably Mentioned) It is almost impossible to discuss the theme, "The Aims and Objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," without being reminded of the three hundreds of years in which the Negro people scattered over the universe have been sleeping. They have been disinterested in everything which contributes to life and to human happiness. They have lost all they might have had "because Negroes have been lazy and indifferent for three hundred years." They care nothing about the future, that was of little import to them. They were content to plod along in chalkalic slavery, in servitude and in economic serfdom, never once making the effort to lift the burden and shoulder the task of the administration of that portion of which Divine Creator ordained they should have been the overlords. The process of evolution has not however, escaped this huge mass of black humanity. It is as John Wescoff Wisely declared. "Every crisis evolves its mastor." It has also become proverbial, due to the frequency of recurrence, that no people will firebear oppression longer than they must have done. We give the question that how long that forbearance may continue, to which the most appropriate reply would be, just as long as they remain ignorant of the power they possess to rid themselves of the existing state. This is evidenced in the case of the French revolution of 1793, when Mirabeau and his colleagues smashed the French monarchy and loosed the bonds of a suffering people: an accomplishment which so nobly expresses itself in their national motto. "Liberty. Fraternity." The Sinn Fein movement in Ireland; it is seen in the Soviet movement of Russia. The Negro must prove his fitness to live all other people. God Almighty created them as men and as such they ought to have their being. The Negro ought not to be content with amassing millions in the United States of America or in living in a social equality in the West Indies with his Caucasian brother, but he should endeavor to be himself the grandeur of his motherland—the continent of Africa. Too long a time has been dislocated and separate without making the effort to break the bonds of racial prejudice which has bound him hands and feet for centuries. Why should he not rally and bring to pass the prophecy, "And suddenly Ethiopia shall hold out her hands unto God?" The Universal Negro Improvement Association has a mighty duty. It must convert the partitionism which now swells in the breast of the Negro for the sake of the land of Africa, his Motherland. The short history of the Association proves the worth of the movement. Less than seven years ago the Negro fated to be called a Negro; today he honors it. Seven years ago he was a hospice creature, finding cohesion in the fact that Jesus is coming again. In the first chapter of the Gospel of disease, in the torment of starvation and in the independence of starvation he sang add whistled: "Lord, I care not for riches, neither alver nor gold. I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold." more the time. He has not the time to get up and and see the good and good for more strength and for more opportunity to get money wherewith he could provide the requirements of every day life and in return serve his life in happiness and watch for his coming, having had sufficient money to be wise enough to buy the oil wherewith he could watch. Today life is not so hopeless. The Negro sees into the future. The U. N. L. A. has called the pulse of Negroes to attention. It is promoting a new doctrine among them. It, has formed an alignment and the Negroes are falling into the ranks of a grand confidence of the Negroes. But has to be observant of itself, the increase in Negro industry, and commerce among the countries of the U. N. L. A. The Negro has attained the new spirit of insaneness. The U. N. L. A. also at birthting to the surface the best thieves in the face. How many Negroes there that they meet, meet, meet enough to be masters of adults and not only bodies, hands and arms in the race, prove to the something of the Black Slave Life. Moreover Negroes know that they could compete worse, deliver more, and win. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1921 write workman-like articles before the U. N. I.

It must be admitted that the Negro is not yet out of the rut, but notice how much more benight it is because his life altes at an achievement. "He daily develops into something better than he ever thought possible. He is driving, not the racial equality, not for racial aggrimation, but for "partnership of the race." In development, the highest aim of all humanity," an President Harding recently expressed it.

F. Editor Negro It is the moulding of the Negro initiative into reliability and self-dependence. It is the breaking of the chain of dependence upon other races and substituting Negro self-balanced co-operation, for which the U. N. L. A. lives. It encourages education, but education of the new type. An education which discards Rodney and Nelson, Napoleon and Washington for L'Overture and Fredrick Douglas, Aristocs and Phillis Wheatley, Negroes of renown, should be mostly emphasized by President Harding for theirministery in his solution of the race problem. "He should seek to be and he should be encouraged to be the best possible black man" is the idea. It is the solution of the theory of Negro inferiority, of Negro nothoughtness, of the policy of eternal sermon, for the promotion of self-value in the real human standard. These are the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. ARTHUR GEORGE BUCKLEY FAVORABLY MENTIONED By Lloyd G. Byer The year 1914 unhered in an era of great political intrigues which at first affected Europe, later extended to the East, and ultimately involved the nations of the Western Hemisphere During this vortex of political dissension, governmenta nations and races were awakened to the real issues involved, and began planning and scheming for the betrayment of their individual interests. It was during this evolution that the spirit of the Negro was arused to the signs of the times, in the pergen of the Hon. Marquis Garvey. In his vision he African blooming with golden possibilities, and in his efforts to protect them, and responding to the call of the hour, he conceived, organized and propagated the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The U. N. J. A. Defined The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization for the amalgamation of all the peoples of the Negro race throughout the length and breadth of the earth 'to inculcate the spirit of equality, fraternity and noble manhood; to prosecute and observe all the laws of the land; to fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind. Its motto is "One God, One Alm, One Destroy." Its Purpose Among Negroes The Universal Negro Improvement Association organized, and in its constructive growth, stands as the champion among the numerous organizations and assumed authority to solve the question so vital to every Negro—the amniposition of the Negro, socially, commercially and politically. It stands for a free and redeemed Africa. Its purpose is to proclaim the Negro equal in statesmanship to the world's greatest. It plans to match Negro skill and Negro strategy with the world's ablest soldier and sailor. It is daily striving to give the Negro a new birth of freedom. Red, Black and Green which every government and nation shall respect. When these plans shall have been consummated, then, its main purpose is to help mankind on to the perfection of that democracy for which millions have given their dearest possession—lift, and to assist in bringing about a civilization that will insure peace and goodwill among med, such as will guarantee the sacred bond of nations who will have linked together in one community, and who will be about the fulfillment of the prophecy: "Nations shall heat their swords into plumshares and their spears into pruning books." Conclusion Today critics, pessimists and weaklings perplex themselves with the question. "How will the movement accomplish its gigantic tasks?" While they remain in the slough of despair and doubt, the new Negro, who has caught the vision and fallen in the ranks and steadily and firmly marching onward, confident in hope and assured with the realization that Negroes everywhere shall be free, and Africa the land of opportunity, the land of our forefathers will be free, and that the bannar of the Red, Black and Green shall be unburied proudly to the breeze, and shall protect the interests of Negroes everywhere—than shall they see the fulfillment of the Divine promise, "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God." (PAPER NO.7) Dear Mr. Editor:—The aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. have been explained time and again, but, like the constitution of a government, they have to be interpreted and explained almost daily. First of all, the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. are to organize the Negro peoples of the world numerically, mentally, financially and in every possible way so as to generate a strong, racial current to be conveyed and connected to the Black Star Line throughout the world. The ... U. N. L. A. is to stimulate, and industrialize the Negro community so that our obsession might be improved. The Negro community is the most important and the most important of the communities of Africa, and when it all worked out and finally perfected and Africa, it will be the greatest achievement of modern African history.

C. R. SNOWALL. 132 Monroe Ave. Patrol. Mich. (Henarebly Mentioned) By LEWIS E. RAWLING Four years ago the Universal Negro Improvement Association was started, and, like other organizations, it has its alms and objects. Negroes for hundreds of their motherland Africa. How? In our simplicity we were taken from Africa and dispatched to all parts of the world. Having been placed in a new atmosphere, and one of white supremacy, we were almost taught to hate ourselves, and that we were inferior to white man. With this false idea in the minds of some of us, we arrived at the climax of love for our race four cars ago. Until then we would take a kick and give a smile, we would be given gross insults, but accepted them unnoticed. But alas! Here comes a movement in the nick of time to ask the reason, to find out why innocent Negroes were brached and jim Crowed, and to check it. An organization such as this is indispensable to the four hundred millions of us, in order to obtain our industrial, social, political, economic and commercial freedom and the redemption of our Motherland, Africa. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is raising the cry of "Africa for Africans." those at home and those abroad. Voluntarily as we went shoulder to shoulder as we had marched to wars victorious as we were nobly as bled and died—all for the white man who did we get" Absolutely nothing. This suspendous organization is therefore seeking to link up the millions of us that are in North America with those of Central and South America, of the West India, Asia and Africa, for the one common purpose of battering our economic, industrial, political, social and commercial condition. We realize as never before, through the inspiration given us by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that what white men have done we also can do. The U N I A is also aiming at building schools for the higher education of Negroes in order that we may learn of the wonderful history of our own people. It also seeks to establish various industrial enterprises where we will be respectfully employed and allowed to fill positions to the best of our ability, regardless of nationality or creed. This wonderful organization has already launched out into the maritime world and long will produce ships equal to any aide on the seven seas. I believe that it will be only a matter of time when the Universal Negro Improvement Association will have accomplished all its aims. This organization is also aiming to build a great government in Africa—a government that will give justice, such justice as other governments have failed to give. It will also pick out the good there is in every form of government and refuse the evil. When this government shall have been erected in Africa, all lynching and segregation of Negroes must be stopped. We realise that we will never be respected until we have that gigantic force of government behind us to demand it. We have carried the burden long—long that some "Negro-Thomaries" can hardly conceive the fact that we are living in a new age, an age whereon all nations are demanding their rights and forging their way towards their own destiny. Without organization we can achieve nothing. It is therefore wise for each and every well thinking Negro to entail in this wonderful organization and, of course, they will be instrumental in bringing in those of the race who allow others to think for them. An organization that has at its head man with a mind made intelligent intelligence. teary and love, as in the Night Horses Marvin Curry, is bound to succeed. $ do believe that when this organization has succeeded in putting its program over each and every one of us will feel within ourselves a one 'n spirit of love and fellowship towards our own forefathers and ourselves, when our forefathers lived in Africa.

Dear Sir: Please permit me space in the most valuable paper of all to reply to that unimposed resolution of thirty-four feigned Negroes from America, Sena Gambia and Haiti, in a congress which the whole white world undisputedly must admit has belonged to thirty-four unworthy Negroes of those three unfortunate countries. While the white men themselves know that the Negroes in great numbers were in every country and village of the world, the Negroes in West Africa more than 17,000,000 strong, to say nothing of Gambia, Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast, and we are cockrure that there is not a single son of these four colonies sitting with Dr. DuBois in that false congress. How can such a congress then be called a Pan-African Congress? That congress must surely be a Pan-34-Negroes or Afro-American Congress. Thereupon we must let the white world know that we the Negroes of the world, have no connection whatever with A. N. A. C. P. or Dr. Durolio congress, and as it is the right of every creature to hold congress, even the rats and mice, the Negroes have no objection to Dr. Durolio and his white friends holding a congress. But the white man must know that the Negroes of the world will hold their congress when the peerless Him, Marcus Garvey will sit with the white people of the world. We in West Africa know of no other race from India, beside Mengo Garvey. Whatever he may must be reckoned with as the entire voice of the Negroes of the universe. The white man must never doubt his statements, because he is interpreting the Negroes' real aim, and because he was duly elected as the Provisional President of Africa by ourselves and not by an alien race.

This kind of petty movement is a thing that is quite strange to us here, in West Africa, because of the thin importance of their aim and program. A million woes to any movement: in existence nowadays that has not as its objective the complete independence of the Negroes of the world. If was about a wearer who I read from *The African Messenger*, one of our weekly impersonal here in London, in which the London secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. is just trying to bring the false movement to the notion of the Nigerians, but with the inevitable power of God Almighty the N. A. A. C. P. shall never get a hearing in West Africa, because it is a movement that is peaking to enslave the Negroes of the world for hundreds of years. We members of this unconquerable and unchallengable N. U. I. A. have nothing to fear, and victory will soon be made to happen and dominate which by right of heriage is ours. The name of our glorious Marcus Gavroy and N. U. I. A. has covered the whole world of Negroes, from north to south and from east to west. Even our illiterate, old and young men hero in Nigeria have paw as their watch-word "E'en awa Gael!ael ki wn ma ha iwa wi wn, wno, awon omo-Daba wa towa ni amtion, no, we la we lw to we" which means "Let the aggressor continue treating us inhumanly, our black brethren in America are coming to send them away from us." We here in West Africa care not to know what is Dr. DuBois, attentaint in scholarship. Tell DuBois that the Negroes as home never recommend him for even their messenger, to say nothing about leadership. Marcus Garvey is the God-sent leader of the Negro race, and, no doubt, 400,000,000 Negroes of the entire world strongly proclaim and hall him as the greatest leader of today. May Allah, the most compassionate, spare his life and let him see the day when the Red, the Black and the Green will be flying from poles to poles in this undisputable continent of Ham. our conductivity, J.

Mencuaje de Felicitación a la Raza de Nuestro Honorable Presidente Marcus Garvey Concluidanos de nuestra Raza, Felices Páscuas y Feliz Año Nuevo:— El Espiritu de un Hombre y el Espiritu de Una Causa Entre nosotros ha nacido el nino Jesús, el Cristo. Los pastores y los sabios se han dirigido hacia Belén para reconocer la maravilla de Dios. Porque alli, en un establo, se ha de encontrar el Recien Nacido, el cual redimió al mundo. El espiritu del Honorable Marcus Garvey y el espiritu de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra no es el de obtener financia, y lo que de ella se pueda obtener; pero por el beneficio que esta pueda reportar al movimiento. Lo que el Honorable Marcus Garvey ha hecho antes, hara despues, por el beneficio de la raza. Asi nuestro pensamiento retrocede a más de mil novecientos años, escuchando aún el "Hosanna en el cielo, bendito sea él, que viene en nombre del Creador." Con todos los preparativos que la humanidad hizo para recibir en el mundo al Cristo que nos redimió, nos encontramos aún en confucion, en luchas, en explotaciones, aún sin misericordia en el tratamiento de los unos para con los otros. El colocó la primera piedra para la fundación de "La Causa Africana" y la verdadera emancipación de la raza, y un escaso número de elementos perniciosos de nuestra raza tratan de capitalizar este noble causa, por su beneficio individual ellos procuran obtener mando para poder dirijir y hacer de ello un produs vivendus más fácil. En esta época gloriosa, durante la cual celebramos la conmemoración de la Natividad de Nuestro Señor, miembros y hermanos de la gran familia humana, olvidemos nuestras diferencias, y cantemos a una sola voz, el Vienno de "PAZ, PAZ EN LA TIERRA." El no ambiciona posición; el no busca un medio fácil de vida. El posee una profesión la cual estudio ardúmenue, antes de empezar su sacrificio por la raza. El se compaciera cuando algn director verdaderamente hometo se presente parn relevante de todas ó algunas de sus obligaciones, pudiendo así obtener un descanso, después de haber trabajado en beneficio de la raza nooche y día, por espacio de siete años consecutivos, sin recreación ni descancio. Cuando pensamos en la hermandad del hombre y la maternidad de Dios; cuando pensamos que este Recien Nacido, carne de nuestras carnes y espiritu del Creador, la vida enviado para que nos asimilemos las ideas de nuestro Padre Celestial, debleramos admitir la razón de que no existan clasificaciones entre la familia humana. Que ganamos luchando en las batallas de hombres contra hombre?—Nada sino muerte.—Y no fue Jesús enviado al mundo para que nos enseñara las prácticas de una vida nueva?—La vida de Amor, la vida de Caridad, la vida de Milicordia. El esta dispuente a ceder su posición actual y el salario que percibe, a cualquier director honesto que dirija a nuestra clase pobre, y no trate de hacerse rico a espensas de esta. El Salvador nos dio su gran ejemplo. Sufrió y murió la refinación de los demás; y teniendo presente su mancha haida el Monte Calvario con la Cruz a cuesta, y liabilendo resucitado para demostrarnos la posibilidad de orra vida, para todos y cudo, uno, aún no nos hemos desviado del camino del pecado para poder entrar en la gloria del Su Relinado Eterio. El es materialmente más pobre en la actualidad, que cuando empóte la organización de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, La Black Star Line, El Negro World, etc. Millones de pesos has pasado por las organizaciones sobre las cuales el ejecución absoluto peder; pero el no posee preciada piedra immóble; que haya dimanado la autorización que le ha aido encomendada. En lugar de establecer una precaminosa carrera en este arboreal de Cristandad, debemos levantar nuestro mensamiento hacia aquel grande y noble Padre, que nos dio en el diu a Su Altisimo Hijo, a quien hizo nuestro hermano; y pedirle que bendiga a todos y cada uno de nosotros, de manera que nuestros corazones puedan ser nucados con la vordadera espiritualidad que trajo la aurora infalida de Navidad. El ha invertido tres cuartas partes de lo que percibe, en estas organizaciones con el objeto de contribuir a su desarrollo. En en todo tiempo está dispuesto a trabajar por nuestra raza, sin remuneración pecuniaria o interes personal, y a dar su todo, su dinero, su ability y hasta su vida, por la causa de libertad. Aquella mafiana del nacimiento cristiano en el pesebre Belen fue un faro de esperanza nueva, porque con el incimiento del Principe de la Paz vino una edad de gra- espiritual, la cual en su curso buscó un eslabón para ner al hombre más cerca de su Creador, y al través de mil veceientos años, nosotros hemos tratado de pre- ntarle tal como se apareció a nosotros en su triple materia en su inocencia, en su amor y en su caridad. El Hombre Sin Ideales El hombre sin ideales hace del arte un officio, de la ciencia un comercio, de la filosofia un instrumento, de la virtud una empresa, de la caridad una fiesta, del placer un sensuallamiento. El Cristo laboró por treinta y tres años para engenharna el camino de la gloria, más en el curso de su vida terraña, el hombre, su hermano, busco la vida que el no pudo dar; el le persiguló, le maltrató, injurió y al fin le cruciéó. Pero lo que fué un tormento físico para el Cristo en su muerte corporea, nada hizo a su odisea ritual, la cual continuó; y de la tierra tomó su vuelo a el cielo, y alli permanecerá eternamente para velar el mundo pecador y débil aca bajo, y derramar todavía nosotros una lluvia de benediciones, que realmente cesitamos. La vulgaridad transforma el amor de la vida en psilanimidad, la prudencia en cobardia, el respeto en servillismo. Lleva a la ostentación, a la avaricia, a la falsedad, a la avidez, a la simulación, detrás del hombre médico asoma el antepasado salvaje que conspira en su interior, acosado por el hombre de atavílos instintos y sin otra aspiración que el hastazo.

A. in Spanish-speaking countries have wished the day would arrive when The Negro World could be read by the natives in their own tongue. Security I noted that an entire page was devoted to articles in Spanish, which struck me as one of the most interesting things ever done by The Negro World. I will say that the Spanish section of The Negro World is worth its space and should be encouraged, as it will help all divisions of the U. N. I. A. in Spanish-speaking countries greatly. I hope soon, when conditions permit, to have the pleasure of setting Liberty Hall. New York, speeches and orations also in Spanish for the good of the country. Who do not or cannot be English. The field here has plenty of preach-ing and it is my firm belief that we will be greatly benefited by the publication of Spanish articles in The Negro World. Porto Bello, like many other Spanish- speaking countries, will show a great harvest when the seeds are grown in fertile soil. Hopping that the good work will continue and thanking you for your space I am. You're. JAMES G. HORSford. Porto Rico, November 4, 1921.

CALLE 123 A SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS BY JOHN HAUGHTON Sentiment and passion are two of the most important and most dangerous factors in men. In leadership, men who labor under the influence of sentiment and by the dictates of passion don't get very far—they usually make a havoc of things in the long run. Men who move by deep human feeling and inspiration in leadership are the men who accomplish things. In the world of politics we need men who are actuated by principle, moved by the dictates of humanity, and operate in the light of common sense, guided by facts and reality. Most of the leaders we have bled, up to this time have been laboring lamentably under delusion, sentiment and passion. They had buried the facts of events and things, and reality they threw to the winds. They have lost more time talking about "social equality" than the economic freedom of the race. They had solicited more funds for balls and entertainments, for conference and conventions, out of all of which came the resolutions and countless petitions for a "equate deal" rather than for the actual uplift of mankind. Our present subject, however, is not by any means based upon the lucrative performances of those leaders, for we have now completely buried them forever! Long since, by the craftiest speculation upon the people's ignorance, the undisturbed epicurium they had enjoyed at the people's expense. Our subject is "Sentiment and Present." These two are almost inseparable, so far as the sensation of feeling is concerned. First, there must be a sentiment before a passion, that is, when the sensation tends to create animus among men. In this case passion leads directly to temper violence, either through a peculiar hate, growing from past circumstance, or an impulse experienced in the thoughts back into, a rule of horrible recollections, or through the excitement of violent impulses. There are certain things that we cannot at times avoid recalling, impossible, but we should not keep them in our mind long. If we do they are sure to hamper us in the most important undertaking or enterprise, Passion, on the other hand, may tend to promote affection and love. At this point, however, it runs their many channels and takes different forms. Passion is not governed under any particular impulse; it acts or operates according to executive agencies. A race which has been suppressed for many centuries usually develops in course of time what is called animal passion against its oppressors—this is the effect of sentiment. The Negro opposite agency of sentimental passion is naturally quite different from that of any other race, owing to the condition under which it was forced, and the circumstances now, as a result of the terrible condition it has suffered, it can creeper out of conditions of the past over which we are struggling to gain control. It should be remembered that the condition from which the Negro has been able through the aid of many humanitarians and philanthropists, to extricate himself, was not by any magic or stroke of political fortune, as many people believed. It was a military need and a national necessity. It was also based upon an impulsive reaction of a political system. This condition was far different from what other races have passed through—his being a slave, his being a slave difficult to make him face certain fate and accept certain things in the proper light, and reason from a natural standpoint. Events of the past are responsible for his mental strain and moral unreasonableness at times. The yellow journalist has played his sentiment! This accounts for his hasty action, at times precipitating riots and street-rupts. Because of this difference of condition and chromatistics, as have also been experienced in a lesser degree by other races of mankind, who had at one time developed a similar passion, as a result which has reacted upon them in like manner, the same is true here, and more so, with the Negro. His sentiment, being stimulated by the utterances and writings of certain class los bien a distinguir el bien del mal, resistir a este ultimo, ya que en la vida moderna, eminentemente social y en que es necesario el contacto con muchas personas, en el trabajo, etc., una vida perfectamente aislada es imposible y seria ademas casi inutilizada e infructuosa.

The more elevated class in this case circle, habitual under the reinship of a alarm possibly an apprehension most general among them while the lower element, the great masses, labored blindly under passion were absorbed in their own sentimentalism, whose actions at time caused the race much unpleasant experiences. What was the situation when Man became very upon the need of indeterminacy. Where this passion is operative under the influence of ignorance, the result is usually destructive—these results always demonstrate a fact. actions are taken blindly even where there was sufficient time to contemplate or meditate; it is more rigorous when the leader of a group of men, who knows absolutely nothing about the peculiar nature of the work of diplomatic skill and they whom he leads being assisted by sentiment and wild passion—especially where the action is directed against the white element they can see only one way, it is just here where a certain element of colored people make the gravest mistakes. Nearly every big racial trouble we have had in this country started over almost nothing take the so-called "Auburn race rost for instance, where the colored population was outnumbered ten to one. After all was said and done you know what was discovered (and was really the cause of the trouble) a handball struck a man in the face, thought that the man whom he accused of the doer of the act was asked by his platymates to make an apology. The fellow who was struck or hit by the hand refused to accept the apology and called the man the gravest mistakes. Nearly all ignorance! The result was that he went around crying to his pals and few other ignorance joined ranks: they were to get somebody, and that precipitated what was really a gang fight, with twenty-five or thirty on their side and three hundred on the other. Both sides suffered with a small advantage on the numerical, and I must give the other men credit for not being indiscriminate; they went after a sentimental gang and that gang settled the question. The main agitator were not touched; they ran away. Neither one of these, if they were asked to tell what the Negro problem involved, except such ignorance performance; and they say they fighting for their rights when they were getting all that the league had to give, and that just was why the hundred and ten remained neutral and therefore saved the situation and the relation between the two races. But a great lesson was learned! They threw facts and reality to the winds, and every man was killed it would have been all over above mentioned—much was hit by a little handball accidentally. This was a far-reaching illustration of the work of sentiment and passion. They ignored every intelligent suggestion in what seemed to have been the prelude of the cause of the opposite sentiment which, while foolish, might have been more justified in this respect. The time has arrived when the average colored man in the street should learn to respect the higher order of human beings, a class of colored young men who really think themselves too great to listen to the advice of a Negro, and the ignorant Negro is still more lamentably worse in this foolish stubbornness, rest one of our grave difficulties of effective organization. The thing that makes Negro organization as difficult among certain class of colored people throughout this county, I have discovered, was caused by 'Dubois' terrible and monstrous idea of the advancement and the progress of the Negro element. There are men in the Negro faces who cannot get out of it, yet they will not tolerate to be called Negroes at any time. Such dope, such fools! The time is also ripe that we the most advanced, should use every means to educate the lower element of the race, both in causing them to understand and realize the importance of leadership. One failure of the average Negro is that he does not appreciate, or I should say, understand technical leaders. Others fall owing to the veil the Anglo-Saxon culture has enrapped them with, sad to say, but many of these are going to die in Harari! They have absorbed the doctrine of "social equality" so completely that all that they can see is the whiteway and the artificial beau. No race of men can get very far if they do not give way to intelligence and the average Negro or colored man is not in the habit of doing this. Whenever we act in defiance to intelligent leadership we are beating the way to disaster and final destruction, is the ultimate. And in the end we are the ones who are likely to suffer most—that has been proven on several occasions—the consequence of inform doing. We usually and naturally post-reflections upon the race without ourselves realizing that fact. Some of us say, "To hall with the rocs," what has it given me now. This is the element of determination, of perseverance, of endurance, worth, they do not value the sacrifices of our brothers, and are more harm to the safety of mankind, free of allure. They have no right for themselves they would disfigure their year. God that created man. With the alluring immanence of the other, the fellow they would try to upset every plan of our mind.
