EARLY ADVOCATES OF HUMAN LIBERTY NEVER HAD HE NEGRO RACE IN MIND The Indispensible Weekly The Voice of the Awaked Negro VOL. XI. No. 22 EARLY ADVOCA NEVER H VOL. XI. No. 22 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Efforts are being made everywhere by the world's great leaders to bring about a proper adjustment in human affairs in this new year of 1922. The mmds of the statesmen of France, of England, of Japan, of America, Italy and other well recognized governments are now concentrated upon the plan of arranging the economic as well as the political order of society. Their plans are given out to the world, while humanity everywhere feels somewhat satisfied that an honest effort is being made to bring about a settlement of the great questions that have been perplexing the human race ever since the war of 1914-1918. Unfortunately, Negroes have no great leaders. Within modern times we have never had any real statesmen, and the masses of our people have always accepted the intentions and actions of the statesmen and leaders of other races as being directed in our interest as a group in conjunction with the interests of others. Such a feeling on our part caused us to believe that the Constitution of the United States of America was written for Negroes, as well as the Constitution of England, France, Italy, Germany and other countries where Negroes happen to have their present domicile, either as citizens or as subjects. That we suffer so much today under whatsoever flag we live is proof positive that constitutions and laws, when framed by the early advocates of human liberty, never included and were never intended for us as a people. It is only a question of sheer accident that we happen to be fellow citizens today with the descendants of those who, through their advocacy, laid the foundation for human rights. So this brings us to the point where, as a people, we can expect but very little from the efforts of present day statesmen of other races, in that their plans, as far as advantages to be derived therefrom are concerned, are laid only in the interest of their own people, and not in the interest of Negroes; hence, it is imperative that Negroes as a people evolve just at this time a statesmanship sufficiently able to cope with the designs and movements that are being made that will ultimately mean our doom and destruction. I repeat that it is silly for the black Britisher to depend upon the statesmanship of David Lloyd George to extricate him from his condition of servitude. It is more than foolish for the black French colonial to depend upon the statesmanship of Monsieur Briand to lead him out of that colonial serfdom which he undergoes to the interest/ of white Frenchmen, and so it is also foolish on the part of the black Italian colonial to expect anything of consideration from white Italian statesmen, and so it would be foolish on the part of the black Americans to expect much from the statesmanship of today, because it is but reasonable to conclude that from what we have seen and heard and experienced this is the time when each race and nation is looking out for itself, at the expense of the other. As a people we have been flattered and deceived for hundreds of years, because of which we find ourselves today leaderless, purposeless, drifting on the ocean of time, like a barque without a rudder; but, thank Heaven, at this very critical moment we have been able to advance among ourselves the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which seeks to unite Negroes everywhere throughout the four corners of the globe, to bring them into one mighty whole of four hundred millions, with the grand objective of freeing the continent of Africa, and there establish a republic and an empire over which we shall exercise control and protect ourselves from the wicked and sinister designs of the other races and nations of the world, who are determined to subjugate Africa and kep her in perpetual slavery. The hour has struck for the fullest display of Negro manhood. As four hundred millions of people we cannot allow ourselves to be trampled under foot for another century, another decade or another year. The time has really come when the four hundred millions of us scattered throughout the world must rise as one man in our demand for human justice, for human rights. You must realize, men and women of the Negro race, that you were created in the image of your Divine Father and that you have as much right to enjoy the benefits of your inheritance as any other race in the world. Africa is the territory of every black man or woman. Caring not whether HAVE YOU GIVEN whether you would like the breeze that blow, pro A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 ATES OF HUMAN AD ' HE NEGRO NEGROES MUST THINK FOR THEMSELVES Negroes Created in the Image of God, Should, Therefore, Fear No Man Let Africa Be Free Though the Heavens Fall he be born in Africa, America, the West Indies, or South or Central America, he has a claim legal, moral and divine on Africa that cannot be disputed. Now is the time, therefore, for us to wage a universal campaign for this our heritage. When a man is robbed of his property, he does not go begging for it, but goes boldly and demands it in the name of the law and in the name of justice. Now that Africa is being robbed from the Negro peoples of the world, it is not for them to beg for it; it is for them to organize their forces intellectually, financially, industrially, commercially, politically, physically, and go out and demand it. It is not a question of asking who is there, and if it is possible for us to displace the intruder. It is for us to organize with the forces that we have between heaven and earth and free Africa. The world is not yet at a standstill; the world still is in chaos; yes, in confusion, and out of this confusion will come many more upheavals that will shake the very foundation of the world itself. Fool yourself in thinking that the conferences that have been held, the wars of today, the wars near future, are sufficient to settle the disgruntled state of the world, the dissatisfied condition of humanity. They have not gone down to the root of all evils that give cause to the great discontent of today, and until they reach down to the core of human discontent, they will never be able to establish a permanent peace and present to us a settled world. If you study the history of the past you will find that we have had many wars, each more deadly, each more catastrophic, and even as the war of 1914-1918 was the most deadly we have experienced for ages, so in the very near future we shall see the most bloody conflict ever waged by man. Whether it is to be a war of the races or of the nations, no one can tell, but so long as this injustice continues, so long as the strong continues to oppress the weak, so long as the powerful nations arrange themselves to oppress the weaker ones, and to keep the more unfortunate of humanity in serfdom, and to rob and exploit them, so long will the cause of war be fed with the fuel of revenge, of hatred, of discontent. So Negroes, wheresoever you are, I am advising you to prepare yourselves through organization. We want you to, in a calm and dispassionate manner, get together in your respective places. Form yourselves into organizations of fifties, hundreds, thousands, yea, tens of thousands, as divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and be ready at any time to march out as one man, yes, as one people, as one race, to found one common nation. Let no one persuade you not to link up yourselves with the greatest movement in the world today among Negroes—the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Any one who approaches you and advises you not to join the Universal Negro Improvement Association is an enemy open, not in disguise, because he desires to retard your progress; he desires to see the continuation of the Negro's enslavement and the permanent exploitation of Africa. For man to organize within his own field, within his own race, is his privilege, whether he be Jew or Gentile, whether he be Anglo-Saxon on Tenton, whether he be Anglo-American or Japanese, whether he be Chinese or Hindu. Every man has the right to his own opinion, every race has the right to its own action; therefore, let no other man persuade you against your will; let no other race influence you against your own. This is positive—we must come together in 1922 as we never did before. Every Negro man, woman and child in the world who understands a smattering of English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or German, who can read of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in his own native language, or through translations, must rush to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. There is simply no enough for any one not to be a member of this great organization. Whether you a savant, a sage or an idiot, your place is inside the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Negroes, we have doubted ourselves too long; we have said too long, "It cannot be done." Now is the time when it must be done, or you must die. No more doubts, no more impossibilities for us as a people. We are determined that what others have done, we must do. Tell me that it cannot be done, when other men have built up nations and great empires; when other men have gone out into wild Mother Nature, felled the trees, cleared the wilderness and built up mighty cities, would you still say it cannot be done, and they did it? The Pilgrim Fathers did it for America, the ancient Britons did it for England, the emigrants and settlers are doing it for Australia; therefore, you must do it for Africa; if not, you ought to die, you incompetent, you good-for-nothing, you sluggard! The dream of African freedom must be a reality and not a dream. Yes, the dream has come true, and today I see great cities rising in Timbuctoo, yes, mighty townships scattered from one end of the West Coast to the other; the Nigerias are now busy marts of commerce; the Gold Coast region is not only an industrial mart, but it is also a centre of learning. Sierre Leone has become a mighty province, and even in Basutland are seen hundreds and thousands of factories rising in their mighty towers heavenward, proving in truth that the Negro men more has returned to the prairie of industry, of commerce, and has rifted himself among the progressive and innovative cultures of the world. Only the mighty marts breathing out of these towers and pledging themselves to the great ships. Mighty, dreadnaughts, cruisers and battleships, flotillah of submarines. Oh! what a splendid picture, all brought about through Africans sons and daughters everywhere developing constituents of self!! But what of our standing armies, yes, to protect us from further subjugation? Our army of well-trained, disciplined men, ready to be maneuvered from coast to coast, pledge themselves that Africa shall ever rule the main, and Africans never shall be slaves. Will you help us by joining the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make this a reality in the near future. Men and women, this is an appeal to you in this new year of 1922, an illustration of what can be done, what must be done. We are depending upon men of letters, your men of learning, to come forth and join the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and from your ability rise to leadership, so that you may point us the way of destiny. Come, men, let us do it, for it can be done. You must remember that no one will do for you, even as you will deserve yourself. You must no longer, I say, expect other races to pilot you to the port of success; they have never done it and they will never do. We have been deceived for many centuries. Now that our eyes are on it, it is for us to undecay ourselves and the world. Expect not the letters of other races to contaminate our own development. HON. MARCUS GARVEY COMMENTS ON ESTABLISHMENT OF IRISH FREE STATE AND EFFORTS OF HINDUS AND EGYPTIANS TO GAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE—POINTS OUT MEANING TO NEGRO PEOPLES OF WORLD BODDY CAPTURED IN PHILADELPHIA BY A NEGRO MAGISTRATE Alleged Slayer of Detectives Arrested in Bed—Negro Policeman and Magistrate Alone Responsible for His Arrest Luther (Curley) Boddy, who shot Detective Sergeants Miller and Buckley to death Thursday night on 135th street, was captured today in the black belt of Philadelphia, still wearing the woman's clothing in which he held from Jersey City to Pennsylvania Saturday night. LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday, Jan. 4, 1922. All bids fair to the meetings held at Liberty Hall every Sunday night in the year 1922 to collapse in point of attendance interest and enthusiasm of the people the record for 1921. Tonight was an evidence of that for though the weather was rather in element, with a falling of snow and big hall was crowded to capacity, and the warmth of the enthusiasm displayed amply made up for the end of the night. Addresses by several speakers were heard, among them being the President General, the Assistant President General, Assistant Secretary General and Mr. Garvey's assistant Mr. E. Carter. Rev Dr Harten, Baptist missionary to Liberia also spoke this being his second appearance in Liberty Hall. He spoke about ten minutes during which he went over much of the ground covered in his first address, concluding with an appeal for financial assistance in his upift and industrial work in Liberia. The President General spoke on the subject, "The Burden of a Weak Race." He embraced in his talk the struggle made by the Irish people for more than 750 years for their freedom, which only yesterday culminated in the setting up of the Irish Free State in Ireland. He mentioned also the great efforts being put forth by the people of Egypt and Ind for their freedom and said that if the Negro peoples of the world do not make similar efforts to gain their independence they will become the burden bearers of humanity and will continue to be exploited and oppressed as the worstest people of the world by those races and nations that are stronger. He wondered whether the Negroes of the world realize the great importance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as its program the redemption of Africa and the economic and industrial freedom of the black man—is their own hope and salvation. He made a strong forceful appeal to all Negroes the world over in the year 1922 to redouble their efforts and their energies in this great cause and to let nothing discourage them or turn them from the common object they have in view. Sir William H. Ferria, the Assistant President General, in his address extolled the merits of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, particularly its rapid and unprecedented rise in four years from a place of obscurity to the position of the strongest and greatest organization among Negroes today. BODDY CAPTURED J BY A Alleged Slayer of Detective Policeman and Magistr for Hia Luther (Curley) Boddy, who and Buckley to deaf Thursday ni today in the black belt of Philade clothing in which he heard from Jerr night. Boddy was captured by one of his own race, according to an associated Press dispatch. He was trapped while sleep in a bedroom in a flat in the Rodman street, an alleyway off, north street, in a Twentieth, in Philadelphia's Negro quarter. Amos Scott, recently sworn in in Philadelphia's first Negro magistrate, received a tip from another Negro that the fugitive was in the house. Taking Charles, E. Bonner, a Negro policeman, with him and buying a pistol at a store on route, Scott entered the room where Boddy slept with an automatic under his pillow. Earfooted in Snow The magistrate and the policeman entered Daddy to put on his trousers, then walked him barefooted over the snow, covered sidewalks to the nearest police station. Daddy is first, denied his identity, but later admitted he was the man equivil. He denied, however, he killed the mathetes, and said he would not talk until he gets a lawyer. The news reached New York as the earlier remaining (the body of Detoc-Hiva Surgant Millet was being carried) from the Church of Our Lady of Violand in the week of the waiting hears, and went on to spread quickly among the strong-minded, perhaps in and the�. The No.10 Pudding presence in the week of the return to the Church of The Lady, Charles A. Brighley, prentice of the Church of A. W. B. Lila. This, he said, compares faculty with an organization like the Y M A alluded to by the preceding speaker (Mr R L. Poston) inasmuch as the Y M. C. A. had taken almost forty five years to reach its present status. He believes that the Negro can succeed in big business the same as no can succeed in small business, provided he has the required capital and the necessary experience. He regarded the U N I A as a blessing to the Negro not only because it is the first great movement on the part of the masses of the Negro race to do something to help themselves to produce big results, but because there is something deeper and more fundamental in it namely, the soul life it has given to the Negro, in aspiring him to nobler and higher things and in daring to achieve great and big things as no other movement has done. Mr R L Pflaston made a short speech in which he made reference to the work of the Y M C A its membership of almost a million members, its annual income of $12 000 000, and its real estate property valued at more than $41 000 000. If such an organization could with a membership of its size attain results indicated by these figures how much more with even less effort could an organization like the N I A with a membership throughout the world of four and a half millions accomplish? What he said is needed is that the Negro take a little deeper interest in his own welfare and go a little further in the sacrifices necessary to be made to bring about, through the agency of the U N I A his complete economic, industrial and political emancipation. Mr G R. Carter Mr Garvey's assistant talked upon the subject. And he went a little farther" which he said was based on the 26th chapter of Matthew and the 30th verse. The burden of his theme which was a serenity monette in style, was that one thing the Negro race needed was to go a little further on in emulation of the principles of Jesus Christ. He made several apt illustrations in elucidating his subject, and said that success of the Negro as a race depended largely upon each man and woman giving a little more in his life for the uplift of all than he had done heretofore, that only in this way, which means sacrifice and unselfish efforts for the good of the race, can we hope to put over completely the program of the U.

Fearing delay, Scott left a deposit, took a revolver, and hurried out with the policeman. Riving at Coleman's house, the policeman remained on the first floor as guard while Scott went to a bedroom on the second floor which Coleman occupied. Scott opened the door. He saw a Coleman man sleeping in the bed. The room temple to chin, by which Book could be readily identified, and which caused him to wear a heavy green coat with his woman's disguise, was in view. Scott raised his revolver and shouted: "Lie still, or be riddle you with bulls!" The colored man bused with the quickness of a cat ad reshaped his hand beneath the pillow.

Attention was again called to January 17, 18 and 19 as special meeting nights in the interest of the U N I A. when the association's program for 1922 will be laid out, and when all the members and auxiliaries of the organization will in one great body be brought together for mutual consultation in doing real constructive work for the present year. A big program is promised for each of the three evenings, which will be of great interest and the discussions will be lively and thrown open to all. MR. GARVEY 8PEAK8 My subject for tonight is "The Burden of a Weak Race." Coming down the ages, we have had it on good authority, and we have seen it ourselves, that the weak Weave always borne the burden of the day in the interest of the strong. It was so during the Roman period, the Roman age, when it ruled the world. The weaker races, peoples and nations were conquered by the Roman might, and reduced to slavery. They were forced, against their will, to labor in the interests of Rome. We had a similar experience during the time of Napoleon, when France ruled the world, the weaker nations, the weaker races, worked and just tribute to the power of France. We have it now, in this Anglo-Saxon tiltic age the strong nations, the strong races oppress the weaker ones, force them to labor in their interests, and show them no mercy. The Oppressed in Turn Imitate Their Mestera Succeeds of the Irish People The Irish have succeeded, first among the trio of Egypt, India and Ireland, in winning a place of mastery among the nations and races of the world. Some little last night the Irish Parliament, with a majority of seven, voted for the ratification of the agreement between the representatives of Ireland and World Lloyd George declaring for an Free State, thus elevating Ireland and the Irish people from the position of serfs, peons, to that of masters. Sorghams and the Hindus We wish it from good authority that the Irish land are more determined now that they shall not continue to be serfs, peons, shall not continue to be serfs, peons, to all seriousness, they become masters of their land. The Hindus, unaware of the land, have Malatsh Ghandi And who are all those people who desire to break away from the old order of them, the order that made them the but on bearers of the great Vik, and that made them for the present bearers of it making division, binding it together which teaches them that all men were treated the way they are to enjoy the benefits of freedom. They like the order of today suffered but, they have determined among them that they will suffer no more. The Negro's Position Now what is the position of the Negro? The position of the Negro is that he is a common member of all of the higher intelligence and spirit of the Hindu race, and that the key has taken in that the Irish has taken on the right and the genius of the urgent freemen. If he does not take it into account, he will be the bearer of the world. He will be the weakest group in the world in her organization goes, he will be the only one expected he will be the one rescued to bear the burdens that class of humanity that has always oppressed the weak The U. N. I A's Program The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that of taking on the higher intelligence of our ancient masters, the higher intelligence of human rights the higher intelligence of human freedom, the higher intelligence of democracy) universal not democracy within bounds You must have studied the history of the Irish people. For seven hundred and fifty years they labored with the idea that one day they would become masters of their own destiny. They sacrificed hundreds, thousands of millions of pounds billions of dollars in the hope that one day they would win freedom for Ireland and freedom for Irishmen everywhere. That reveals a great patience. The Hindu people the movement of Mahatai (Ghandi) dates back I believe twenty five years. They have been struggling toward their independence, they have spent millions and millions, billions of dollars in the cause of Indian freedom. In India the Mahatai Ghandi movement appeals to the people, and the wealthy people of that great country, as well as the poorest people of India give to the cause of Mahatai (Ghandi), because the cause of liberty to them is so sweet because it is so dear to them. Mahatai Ghandi, a man truly devoted to the cause of Indian freedom which he espouses, is held in the highest respect and regard by the people whom he leads, and these people look to Indian freedom not for a price, because to them it is priceless, they look to it because it is their hope it is their desire, it is their faith, it is their destiny, and all over India, as you will probably see today from what you have read—those of you who have been studying the question—you will find an unrest that will result in another twelve months or probably in another two, five or ten years, in the complete emancipation of that great country, the freedom of that country of three hundred and eighty millions of Indians, to enjoy the benefits of their own country under a government of their own race. The Egyptian Nationalist Party In Egypt the leader of the Nationalist party has appealed to the people of his country, and morally, financially, and in every way they have given him the support necessary for him to push forward the cause of Egyptian freedom. Importance of Work of the U. N. I. A. I wonder if the Negro peoples of the world realize the importance of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is not apparent that some of us realize the importance of this movement. In Ireland, as I have said, hundreds of men have been masacred, hundreds of men have been hung, as also in India at the present time they have incarcerated hundreds of the followers, as well as the leaders of the Mahatma Ghandi propaganda, as well as in Egypt they have exiled from the country the great leader of the Egyptian party, which has caused really a tumult. But these men who have been hanged, these men who have been killed, these men who have been exiled, what has been the result of their hanging, their incarceration, their exile? The result is that their suffering makes the cause more salient to the people; makes the cause more dear to the past. ture for the next ture for the next ture for the next Must Start Now to Redeem Africa ```markdown ``` that another of the world. After we peel the fruit of the tree we examine. The prize will be the of your labor. Point is the program of the stronger races and nations of the world today. Be prepared to work for the satisfaction of those who has been the attitude and have already and of nations in the park. We will be the attitude of those who going down the slope is the strong nation will not need to take advantage of the weak and the why India does not want to be found napping as a weak race a weak tion. This is why the prize is ammount for each hundred and fifty for free from because I do not want to be caught napping as a weak tion a weak race. That is why Egypt is determined to have free dom because Egypt does not be found napping as a weak tion or a weak race among the nations and races of the world. Refers to the Chinese You will miss the turn in the attitude of the Chinese people a people who were so different a few years ago. Why have they all of a sudden become so determined become so much on the quit like always so suspicious of everybody who approaches them? Why? Because China is along with Egypt and Ireland and India is determined that she will be found napping on the weakest nation or race of the world to be exploited by others and to be the burden bearers of humanity. Weaker People Coming Together For Their Own Protection Now the weaker peoples are all coming together in their own protection. There is Ireland, there is Egypt, there is India each fighting for its freedom and each succeeding. Now what are you going to do? Are you going to allow Egypt, India Ireland to be among the strong while you remain the only weak people in the world? If so, you will be the burden bearers of all humanity, you will be the burden bearers of the world. Ireland thinks of your suffering so long as Ireland suffers, but when Ireland ceases to suffer, Ireland forgets that you are suffering. Egypt will appreciate your suffering so long as they are suffering, but when they suffer no more, they will forget your suffering and what it means. And so with other peoples of the world. If you allow the other peoples of the world to get their freedom, to get their independence, and you do not get yours, then you will be the burden bearers of the world. Why? The Case of Eamon de Valere Two years ago the English people would not treat with Eamon de Valera. He was an outcast; he was a seditious; he was unworthy of the consideration of Great Britain, because Great Britain had the idea that Ireland was too weak in any way to interfere with the program that she had laid out for Ireland. But the result was that Eamon de Valera, who was outracised by British statesmen, but who gained millions of Irish adherents in this country—they printed his name as Provinces President of Ireland, but inclosed it in inverted commas, to try to show those who were his enemies that his claim to that title was ridiculous—Eamon de Valera, I say, succeeded at last by holding on with bulldog tenacity of pur COLORED HARLEM WILL GIVE MONSTER BENEFIT FOR SLAIN DETECTIVES FAMILIES All Harlem Unites in Condemnation of Lawlessness.

What De Valera had to do two three or five years ago, he has not to do today. In another two or three years the Irish people themselves will become will have their complete freedom. And with the Irish so with the Hindus and so with the Chinese and so with the Egyptians and when each of these gains their freedom Ireland included, they will join in with the others who are oppressing Negroes—they will be partners with the great combat that has already taken advantage to exploit weaker peoples who are not prepared to defend and protect formalities. Negro People to Be Lifted to Plane of Other Races Now the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to lift the entire agree to the platform of national political and economic equality with all areas and nations of the world that we will not be expelled by the facts that are organized.

The manager, Mr Savino, kindly consented to the free use of his theatre.

Many of the leading acts on Broadway have contributed their services to add to the program which will be featured by colored vaudeville stars, and one or two acts from the famous "Shuffle Along Company."

There is not only widespread sympathy throughout colored Harlem for the bereaved families of the popular pollsmen main in the performance of their duty, but there is intense in- be their own masters.

Negroes' Case to Be Presented Before Chancellors of Europe Through the plans we are laying we are going to lay our cause before the chancelleries of Europe, and we are not going to give up until we get redress completely for the wrongs and injuries now heaped upon us, and we gain the rights we desire. As Ireland has obtained her freedom I feel sure Egypt will get here, and likewise India, and we shall go up to the chancelleries of Europe and demand our share, which will be a free and redeemed Africa (Appears).

L. Poston Speake Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council Ladies and Gentlemen. Whenever I look into the faces of such a large gathering of people I am tempted to indulge in a little oratory. As I might often say to the people, there was a time in my life when I waited to be an orator, but those were the days when I wanted to captivate the people with the funies of speech. I didn't want to be an orator and now I am just content to speak out of the fullness of my heart about things as they impress me, and for the few minutes that I shall have tonight I want to speak to you about some facts and figures a thing which, unfortunately, our group loca not seem interested in Refere to the Y.

Here Mr. Poston mentioned having heard a lecture last Sunday afternoon at the Y M C A by one of the international secretaries of that association in which it was pointed out that the Y M C A throughout the world has a membership of less than 1,000,000 persons, with property valued at $141,000,000. This he regarded as a wonderful financial condition for such an organization, since it has, in addition, an annual budget of $19,000,000 at its disposal. If an organization with less than 1,000,000 members can accomplish such a result financially, what could an organization as the Universal Negro Improvement Association do with a membership throughout the world of 4,500,000 members "If," he continued, five times as many of us could give half as much as that, in order to put over this program that we are so interested in, the interests of the Negroes in the world would be advanced in a few months more than 100 per cent.

MR QARVEY'8 SPEECH MR GARVEY'S SPEECH We celebrate throughout the nation today the anniversary of the Ignition of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abrah in Lincoln. We think it a fitting time to consider some of the outrages perpetrated on us in this country and, at least, to raise a voice of protest so that the nation at large may know may realize that we are grieved. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Lynching has been an institution most barbarous most outrageous, instituted since our emancipation and those who were born in this country will realize that more and more Lynching has become a habit, a custom that is spreading itself. Attempts have been made, and are being made, to bring about legislation whereby, through the majesty of the law, the nation will be able to put down this barbarous institution. A few days ago, or rather a couple of weeks ago, Representative Lyon introduced into Congress an anti-lynching bill. His desire is to have that bill passed. He has called for a Federal crime to lynch any individual and to make of abuse a penalty on the county of the State in which the lynching is done. Thus he hopes, and the Negro peoples of this country also hope, that Lynching will be abolished. Telegram to Congress The matter has not yet come in their entire before the Congress and from what we have heard, from what we have read attempts are being made to prevent the passing of this bill to pre- vent it from becoming a law, so that lynching can continue with impunity to those indulging in such a behinous practice. And now we are assembled in this serious concern to celebrate the emancipation of our race, we think it but fitting to send a telegram to the speaker of the House of Representative and to the members of the Congre- sion, expressing to them our feeling in the matter and our attitude on it. I therefore hold in my hand a telegram which I will read as chairman of this meeting and which will be dealt with accordingly after it has been read R N Poston Moves Adoption of Tele- gram At this juncture Mr R N Poston, Minister of Labor and Industry, arose and upon being recognised by the chairman said: Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen. At a time when this great nation of ours is attempting to take a great place in international affairs and in championing the cause of down trodden humanity, the blood of more than 8,000 men, women and children of the Negro race who were lynched since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation that we meet to celebrate tonight, cries over this nation can advise other nations on how to protect their subject people they must wipe its garments clear of this terrible stain of lynching Nation Should Take a Stend Against Lynching "The time has come when this nation should take a stand and not allow the eleven Southern States to bring us into disrepute in the eyes of the civilized world. As the telegram we have just heard read, and as we all know, the crime of lynching never helps a nation; it never eliminates the crime which it seeks according to the pretensions of those who engage in lynching, to prevent, consequently, it is only a representation of brutality as practised by the strong upon the weak, the weapon that other nations of the world are using to bring us to shame. Whenever we attempt to make a stand in Europe it is thrown in our faces that we lynch the black man in this country; and even now, when we are telling the Japanese to treat the Chinese as human, they only smile at us and say: 'You ought to treat the Negro as a man, and not treat him as a brute.' A Withering Comparison "Very often the white man in this country speaks of the heatens in Africa—the cannibals (as he says) in Africa. There is this difference, possibly the cannibal existing in Africa kills his man, and eats him—economy whereas the American white man kills his man cooks him, and still refuses to eat him (Laughter) Bo. friends, you see, the American, especially the Southern, is worse than the cannibal in Africa, if such exists there. Praise for Congressman Dyer Mr Dyer has framed a bill that will take care, in a great measure, of the situation that will place a higher premium in this country upon human life. Dr Dyer in seeking re-election, with tears in his eyes, faced a gathering of colored men—and he was elected in Missouri by the colored vote, because more than three fifths of the votes in the district whence he came are colored votes, and they told him that they had promised long enough. When you go there (to Congress) this time, said they, you must pass the bill that will bring safety to the Negro in this country. With tears in his eyes Mr Dyer said that he would try to pass the bill Telegram Represente Negroas' Sentiments the World Over "Therefore, as representing the sentiments and as representing the desires of the colored people of America, as well as the Negroes throughout the world, I offer as a motion the telegram just read by the chairman of this meeting as expressing our sentiments and that it be sent forthwith to the Congress of the United States of America. I thank you H Vinton Plummer Secondes the Motion Immediately Mr H Vinton Plummer Manager of Publicity, arose and seconded the motion made by Mr Poston asking "Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa. As a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am grateful to you for your heartily concur in this telegram and desire to second the motion as made." (Loud audience.) The chairman then put the motion, which was promptly adopted by unanimous vote, indicated by everyone standing not a single individual in the hall disentaining. The passing of the motion was followed by the wildest cheering of the audience, which lasted several minutes. Mr. Garvey Resumes His Speech Fifty-nine years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation declaring 4,000,000 Negroes in this country free men. Several years prior to that, Queen Victoria of England signed the Emancipation Proclamation that set at liberty hundreds of thousands of West Indian Negro slaves. West Indian Negroes celebrate their emancipation on the 1st of January, the American Negro celebrates his emancipation on the 1st of January of every year. Tonight we are here to celebrate the emancipation of the slaves in this country. The Hope of Negro Slave for Their Posterity "Assembled as we are here, we are the descendants of the men and women who suffered in this country for two hundred and fifty years under that barbarous, that brutal institution known as slavery. You who have not lost trace of your history will recall the fact that over three hundred years ago your forbears were taken from the great Continent of Africa, and brought here for the purpose of using them as sympathy, the worked our forbears. They suffered, they bled, they died. But with their sufferings, with their blood which they shed, in the death they died, they had a hope that one day their posterity would be free, and we are assembled here tonight as the children of their hope. Negro of Today Has a Duty to Perform "I trust each and everyone of you, therefore, will realize that you have a duty that is incumbent upon you: a duty that you must perform, because our forbears who suffered, who bled, who died, had hopes that are not yet completely realised. They hoped that we would be free as their children, but THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 "The Barbarous Institution of Lynching, Instituted in the Period of Reconstruction, Must Be Done Away with by Appropriate Legislation," Declares President-General Garvey, Indorsing Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill they are impeded that the country from whence they) the same would also be free to their children their grandchildren, their great grandchildren at some future time and it is for the freedom of that country that motherland of ours that four and a half million Negroes as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are laboring today. (Applause) Negro Blood Proudest Blood of the Nations No Need to Lose Hope "So that I don't want you to lose hope one bit. All of us did not pass through the riors of slavery, but I am one Negro who is very, very sorry that he was not born in slavery days (laughter), because if ever there was one Negro who would have made some trouble and made things hot for somebody during those days, I am beo (Laughter). But I suppose Providence had its own time for the birth of each and every one of us and fortunately or unfortunately, I was born to this age. But though I was born to this world at a period later than my father than my grandfather, and my forebears who passed through the rigors of slavery, I have studied their part; I have studied the race's history, and I can well appreciate the sufferings they underwent. I can well appreciate the hardships they endured in those days of slavery for more than two hundred and fifty years in these United States and for two hundred and thirty years in the West Indies. An Apostrophe to Our Slave Ancestors "Father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, wherever weon art tonight be you beside the Blessed Redemer in Heaven, be you in Paradise, be you in Purgatory, I remember your sufferings! And since I am your son, since I am blood of your blood and flash of your flesh, I shall never forget! All well do we know the terrible retribution of those who despoiled you, who robbed you of your labor, who beat you with the flesh, who tortured you with a barbary, a cruelty unspeakable, worse than that anywhere recorded in his tory; that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children. Not because you sinned, were you taken into slavery, it was that we those who enslaved you who sinned, for God never intended that man should enslave man, and the price for such a sin, for such a violation of heaven's law, must be paid by every one. As for me because of the blessed past because of the history, that I know, so long as there is with the breath of life and the spirit of God of God, we are going to struggle to see that justice is done to the black people of the world (Great applause). Yes we appreciate the sorrows of the past, and we are going to work, in the present that the sorrows of our generation shall not be perpetuated in the future, on the contrary, we shall strive that, by our labor succeeding generations of our own shall call us blessed, even as we call the generation of the past blessed today. And they indeed were blessed they were blessed with a patience not yet known to man a patience that endured them in the sufferings of slavery for two hundred and fifty years. Was it because they loved slavery so? No, it was because they loved this generation more, this present generation the more. Our Forefathers' Love for Us "Look at the love our forefathers bore for us, look at the love our mothers in the past three centuries manifested for us—that they should have tolerated, endured slavery these two hundred and fifty years in order that we might be what we are. Isn't it wonderful transcendent? What, then, are you going to do to show your appreciation of this love, what gratitude are you going to manifest in return for what they have done for you? As for me, knowing the sufferings of our forefathers, I shall give back to Africa that liberty that she once enjoyed 300 years ago, before her own sons and daughters were taken from her shores and brought in chains to this western world. (Applause). No better gift can I give in honor of the memory of the love of my foreparents for me and in gratitude for the sufferings they endured that I might be free; no grander gift can I beast to the sacred memory of the generations past than a free and a redeemed Africa (applause), a monument for all eternity, a monument for all time. "And so tonight, as we celebrate this anniversary of our emancipation we do not do it with regret—no, not with regret. On the contrary, we do it with an abiding hope: we do it with an abiding confidence: we do it with an abiding faith in ourselves and in our God; and the faith that we have is the faith that will ultimately take us back to that ancient place, that ancient position, that we once occupied, when Ethiopia was in her glory. Glorious Ethiopia! Her star is still shining; Yes; the stars are twinkling; they are back-coming to use to come, and we are coming. Yes; we have started on the journey, through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we shall continue; we shall continue on until the sun shall never set on the glories of Ethiopia! (Appease.) Must Not Lose Hope "And so, men and women, having traveled this distance for three hundred years, let us not lose hope; let us not lose confidence in God nor ourselves. The job can be done again. We did it once; we must do it again! (Great applause.) We once surprised the world: knowing the hard experiences of the past, the sufferings of man, the feelings of man, we shall not agonish to make the world our fooolstool; but, by knowing more of the spirit of humanity, knowing more of the great spirit of God, we shall treat all men with mercy. shall give all men the way of liberty. But it would seem that it is left to us to perform that duty, and to no other race. As by the action of the world, as by the conduct of all the races and nations, it is apparent that not one of them has the sense of justice the sense of love, the sense of equity, the sense of charity, that would make men happy, and make God satisfied. It is apparent that it is left to the Negro to play such a part in human affairs—for when we look to the Anglo-Saxon we see him full of greed, full of avarice, with no mercy no love, no charity We go from the white man to the yellow man, and we see the same unenviable character—in the language. Therefore we must believe that the palimist had great hopes of the race of ours, that he really had some grand idea in his mind when he prophesied that princes shall come out of Egypt that Ethiopia shall again stretch forth her hand to God. That Race Favored by God That Protects Humanity If humanity is regarded as made up of the children of God and God loves all humanity, we all know that—that God will be more pleased with that race that prots to all humanity than with that race that outrages all humanity. (Applause) Up to now we have found no race in power that he held out a helping hand and protection to all humanity, and it is apparent that that position is left for the new Ethiopia. Let us, therefore continue our journey, I will believe when we reach the goal we shall reign forever, because we shall be the clect of God. He must have had His purpose when He took us through the rigors of slavery for more than two hundred and fifty years when from a few millions we multiplied into the many millions that we are today. Even with the lynchings and the burnings, even with injustices here and there, we still multiply. There must be some wonderful reason, there must be some wonderful purpose of God in bringing us through all we had to endure in the past three hundred years, down to the present, and I attribute it to that prophecy of God that His children, shall one day stretch forth their hands again unto Him. Ba of Good Cheer "So tonight, in these few words I have spoken to you, as we celebrate the anniversary of our emancipation in this country, I again say to you, be of good cheer; lose no faith; lose no hope; lose no confidence in yourselves. On the contrary, put your trust and your faith in God, for the star of Ethiopia is still shining! I thank you." (Loud and long applause.) SPEECH OF MON. J. W. H. EASON May it please your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa. President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Right Honorable Members of the Executive Council. Fellow Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Distinguished Members of the Negro Race here assembled—It is a source of the greatest pleasure for me to attempt to address you at this hour, this being the fourth emancipation celebration that I have had the distinguished honor of attending here in Liberty Hall, beginning with January 1, 1919, January 1, 1920, and January 1, 1921, at which time I had the distinguished honor of sending out a message directly to the Negro peoples of America and our brothers and sisters in all portions of the world. Tonight, January 2, 1922, it is again my good fortune to be presented to you by his Excellency the President General and Provisional President of Africa, to address you at this particular time. Being somewhat weary and tired and feeble from my extensive travels and not being well, I shall not deliver to you my entire address nor message, but shall give a part of it, and as I aspect to be around here perhaps for the next twenty days, I shall give you an installment tonight, an installment perhaps another night this week, an installment Sunday night and installment every other night I am in New York and the vicinity, and thus deliver my New Year's message on the installment plan. (Laughter.) A plan with which you are all acquainted, because all of you know how to make arrangements to pay a dollar down and a dollar forever. (Renewed laughter.) We are here beneath this benign influence for the express purpose of commemorating our emancipation in America, to take stock of our achievements in the past and to understand our present condition as it relates to the different races and peoples of the world. I trust we will also get sufficient inspiration and aspiration and direct knowledge to enable us to meet the emergencies that we shall come up against beginning from our dispersion from this hall tonight. The New Year Full of Possibilities The New Year Full of Possibilities 1922 has come into existence filled with possibilities, filled with the opportunities for our group especially in this country to achieve. I trust that through the inspiration already gained and through the ideas manifested through the aims and objects of the great Universal Negro Improvement Association that you have and my other friends and sisters throughout the world have a breadth of make use of every opportunity presented to them to show to the world a solid united front and march forward to victory 15,000,000 strong in this American group. Clear the Way for 1922 I am delighted with the opportunity of again being presented to you, and I shall speak to you from the subject, "Clear the Way for 1922." The Negro has always had a deep sense of appreciation for the things done for him by Divine agencies as well as through human instrumentality. Because of his deep religious nature, because of his clear insight into things spiritual, he has contributed practically all of his progress to the great Divine spirit. I will not have him in the least change his idea of God, change his opinion on Divine assistance, change his learning and depending upon the higher power, but added to that I would urge upon him to remember that if he would be free he must himself strike the blow. (Aphephas.) And thus, added to our deep sense of appreciation for what outside influences have done for us to bring us to this standpoint, we must remember that as we are to go for- ward in the upward march of the world's civilization we ourselves must study carefully the ways by which other peoples have achieved and gone up the heights that we are to mount until we equal them in their accomplishments and in the very future place the banner of complete achievement included within. Universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, a few pieces higher than they have ever been placed before. (Ap. plausa.) Way Must be Cleared of Preludised In the first place, the way must be cleared of the blamed and prejudiced among our own group. The race has a tremendous task, and yet the task is not too stupendous to be accomplished by the millions of our group in this country and throughout the world. If we study history in order that our minds may be informed and our souls enthused and our aspirations raised and our ideals lifted higher, we will find that the Negro's condition in this country and in this world is not as bad as even the conditions and the position of other peoples in ages past who have shaken off the bonds and burdens that held them down and who have pulled out from prejudice and superstition and ignorance and have risen up in the sunlight of complete freedom and started the world with their accomplishments. Such, for example, as the ancient Ethiopia, the mighty Grecia, the powerful Babylonians, the accomplished and warlike Romana, the ever alert and active Anglo-Saxons as well as Japanese of modern origin, the African and Indian and divided in different groups in various sections of the world, yet through that principle which perhaps is the most dominant feature of this movement—the arising of racial consciousness and racial solidarity among the Negroes—we have a better opportunity to achieve now and to accomplish in the future than other races: had at the time when they made a start. (Applause.) Thus, my friends, I will urge upon you tonight and through you, the 15,000,000 in America and 400,600,000 of our peoples in the world, to prepare yourselves to clear the way of the blased ones among our own group, for the hardest task that this movement has had and the hardest task that the leader of our forces has had, and the hardest task that our own spirit has had, will have is that task of removing from our war ward march to the heights of the elevation that blased groups of law-above no-count Negroes found among our own group. (Applause.) Next to the blased, narrow-minded (Continued on page 3.) ```markdown ``` Negro World 50 West 123th Street. New York.

THE NEGRO IN BIG BUSINESS of our philosophers are alarmed because no orises have been hard hit by the wave of e on which has swept over the entire world l estate authorities closed the Negro bank in Ga SOME of our philosophers are alarmed because Negro business enterprises have been hard hit by the wave of economic depression which has swept over the entire world like a prairie fire. The State authorities closed the Negro bank in Gary, Ind. Anderson's bank in Jacksonville, Fla., was forced to close on account of the run on it during the Christmas holidays. A Negro bank in Virginia and one in Washington were reputed to be hosting the signals of distress. Gale's Hotel in Philadelphia was advertised for sale. Some pessimists believe that these facts indicate that the Negro is incapable of successfully running business on a large scale. But it is not so. The Negro can succeed in big business as successfully as he has in petty business if he has the required funds, equipment and experience. A few have already so succeeded. With inflated wages and prices as the result of the war, with munition plants and other concerns who profited by the war retrenching after the armistice, with the tens of thousands of men who had flocked to the large cities consequently thrown out of employment, with tens of thousands of soldiers returning to their old jobs, and with the export trade decreased because Europe was exhausted by the war and hence unable to purchase American goods in large quantities, it was natural that hundreds of thousands of workmen would be thrown out of employment and that an economic depression should follow in the wake of the war. Whenever hard times strike a country, the concerns, whether large or small, whose liabilities exceed the assets, whose debts exceed the reserve funds in the bank, suffer first. Usually the Negro banker or realty promoter or hotel proprietor starts with small capital. As long as work is plentiful and wages high, all is well. Banking follows in the wake of and does not precede big business. Consequently as there are few Negro concerns doing big business, the Negro banker cannot as the white banker place short loans at good interest, but usually loans on real estate. When Negro workers lose their jobs, they can't pay rent and move into cheaper quarters. The realty promoter is compelled to lower rent or have empty houses. He cannot then keep up payments on the principal or the mortgage from the rents. If he has no surplus funds he goes under. The hotel proprietor likewise suffers when hard times decreases his patronage. And the Negro banker who has placed loans on real estate likewise suffers. The Negro worker when he gets out of work, instead of depositing more money in the bank begins to draw out. The Negro banker has few short loans he can call in immediately and is not rich himself, consequently he goes to the wall. The Negro as a rule who goes into business has not surplus capital or a surplus reserve fund. He has five, ten or twenty, forty thousand and invests nearly all in the business. His optimistic nature, temporary prosperity and limited experience prevent his seeing the necessity of providing a reserve fund for unexpected emergencies. He clears 40 per cent, or 50 per cent, of his investment the first two years, relinvests it and borrows money in enlarging his business or venturing into a new enterprise the third year. As long as times are good he seemingly floats on the floodide of prosperity. Suddenly the tide turns. Hard times or stronger competitors cause a falling off in his business. He has no surplus reserve funds to provide for the unexpected emergency and he goes under the wave. It is not our purpose to preach a sermon, read a homily or write a dissertation, but we have a few practical suggestions for future guidance. We have for a number of years while preparing material for our work, "The African Abroad," observed the handicaps of Negro business enterprise. With small capital, no credit, inadequate equipment and little experience, they were competing with white concern with large capital, large credit, adequate equipment and large experience. A colored press which needs 24 hours to print a newspaper, which a white press could print in one hour, cannot successfully compete with it. In the summer and early fall of 1917 we worked in a factory in Melrose, Ill., and for a contractor in Elmhurst, Ill. We observed that in white business the machine has taken place of hand labor, and that the concern with modern machinery can turn out larger quantities of work within a given time than the concern with antiquated machinery. Years ago a gang of workmen used to dig laboriously to lay aOWER and cover it npagain, but in Elmhurst we saw one machine with a white engineer in it do the digging and another with a Negro engineer in it doing netting up, while the contractor was laying eleven miles of sewers. that you are facing competitors who have means, credit, equipment and experience at their disposal. And it would not be advisable to launch out into any business enterprise unless you have the resources, equipment and experience to successfully face competitors and offer as good a product as they do at the same price." This does not mean that colored men should not start a bank or really company, operate a factory, launch a steamship line, engage in import or export business on a large scale or attempt to develop the agricultural or mineral resources of Liberia. But it does mean that if they run a bank, reality company or other enterprise, they must have a reserve fund ready for any emergency. It does mean that if they import mahogany, ebony, cocoa, rubber, palm oil and coffee, they need an agent who can deal directly with prospective buyers before the products leave Africa. The Negro of the past generation succeeded in petty business. The Negro of the present generation is succeeding in petty business and also launching out in big business. While his success has only been partial thus far, he has acquired considerable experience and is producing by his takes and failures. We are producing men of color who will do what white men have done for generations, pass on their own business experience to their sons, brothers and younger friends so that they can maintain an old business or launch out in a new business fortified and buttressed by the transmitted experience of their fathers, brothers and older friends. It is unreasonable to expect that the American Negro with 25 years of his emigration from bondage could match the American who has over ten centuries of business experience held in the Negro cannot at a single drop and lend to the present a mount in which he has taken the Caucasus in a thousand years to painfully and beautifully combine. Eighty years from now we will see back back again to that original industrial enterprise, Negro capitalists able to finance stores, lines and black meadows and manufacture having large numbers of workers. The present pioneers of high technology the seed. The next generation will begin to tap the harvest. No, the time will come when a Negro promoter strung to life steamship line start a factory or explore and develop the latent wealth of Africa or found a university will fund a Negro capital able to write his check for the entire amount. W.H. L. AFTER FOUR YEARS POSSIBILITY a fertile imagination, an impossible mind a rich emotional nature and great physical vitality, the Negro is naturally optimistic He is bonyant and hopeful under circumstances which would crush another race He sees the silver lining to a dark cloud. And though the day be dark and gloomy, he believes that the sun will shine—and that it will be bright and fair tomorrow. Now this innate optimism is a racial asset. But it is also something of a liability The Negro's optimism and enthusiasm enables him to put his whole soul and spend his earnings in a project, believing that victory will soon perch upon his banners. When the expected success does not immediately come, he will wake up out of his day dreams and realize that his air castles have faded away into the ethereal blue With this disillusion will come either wisdom or pessimism. The U. N. I. A. has been in existence for three years and eleven months. Its growth has been marvelous and miraculous. It is now recognized as a real factor in the life of both the Western and African Negro. Some critics find fault because the allied corporations which have grown out of the organization have not realized the full hopes and expectations of its promoters. But four years is but a moment in the life of mankind and one cannot do everything in four years. To mobilize hundreds of thousands of men from different sections of the world in one organization in four years is an achievement that Marcus Garvey and his associates can be proud of. Never before in the history of the Negro has such a vast number of black men and women been marshalled in one organization in the short space of four years. Whether or no the industrial enterprises associated with the U N. L. A. immediately ride on the crest of the waves, the welding together of hundreds of thousands of men and women of color in the short space of four years is a remarkable feat, and the world so regards it. It is also a potential commercial asset. When a financial genus comes upon the scene he will find a powerful, well-integrated organization at his disposal, ready and willing to back him and carry his plans to fruition. And four years more may witness the full and complete realization of the industrial plans and projects WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN 1922 WE would like to see every Negro begin the new year with a definite program in view looking toward the permanent relief of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We would like to see the leadership of the race cast aside petty differences and thus prove itself worthy of public trust. We would like to see the churches of the land supplying the spiritual force so sadly needed at this time, that will enable Negroes everywhere to make the sacrifice necessary to redeem Africa and advance their interest throughout the world. We would like to see the lodges and various fraternal societies broaden their horizon to reach further than the mere caring for the sick and the burying of the dead, which about sums up their activities in the past. We would like to see a pride of race—a pride of race that will bring back to us our beautiful women whom we have exchanged for the painted vamp—more like the calendars that adorn the walls than the robust, undisguised beauty which characterizes "our daughters of the sun." HOWARD INAUGURATES MOVEMENT FOR BETTER TRAINED NEGRO MINISTRY WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan 8- The first meeting of the recently organized Advisory Board of the School of Religion of the Howard University was held on the university campus Wednesday January 4, 1922. This board has been organized for the purpose of promoting a definite cooperative plan by which all persons interested, irrespective of religious faith may work together for a better trained Negro milti a. President J. Kennedy also presented the larger plans of the university and all of the things already accomplished and those being planned. He stressed the need of a great inter-democratic and digital school. Dean D. Hoyer Jr. presented the present to the School of Heal. He pre- identified the need for new postings and set rest than long dates from a the need re the new postings situation. He said that with the new annual giving the post with but it fary training presented a problem that the American people have not yet received to realize.

CLAUDE McKAY ON A NEGRO EXTRAVAGANZA Editor. Negro World; I beg to recommend to the readers of The Negro World two very instructive and interesting articles in this month's magazine literature. One is an editorial review and comment on President Harding's speech at Birmingham, written by Dr. Du Bola, in the "Crisis." The other is an article entitled "A Negro Extravaganza," in the "Liberation," written by Mr. Claude McKay. This article shows Mr. McKay as a keen intellectual as well as an esthetician. He knows and is appreciative of spiritual values—comes or tragic, hardy or serious—through whatever medium they may find. Expression. His esthetic feelings and knowledge are not warped by "economic interpretational" for his thoughts show clearness and balance. I may add, incidentally that his views on Negro art and its relation to Negro life in the biggest sense of the word coincide with those of Mr. Hubert Harrison, as the book review in last weeks a Negro World will show. HODGE, KINNEDY. THE ARMS CONFERENCE --- By ARDEN A BRYAN The Harding plan of disarmament among the nations of the world and in Washington corner for a purifying arrive at an understanding for world peace is simply an association of nations shouting and noiting peace peace. And this seeming association of peace does not exist except theoretically, while practical it seems to me that starting in the heart of all the nations and the representatives assemilated inference there is a determined and intent to treat only peace for a war of greater magnitude. And what seems to make the practical that the association shall offer to a world well well well at all diplomacy has played on itself old and down diplacy must admit that it has lost out once and for all time. It must start the world of light and purity you know Mr. Harding of The door was opened, and the light turned on and the person stood inside and had to show the camera with cards turned up. The American people and the world at large ought to demand more rights upon the creation however or what the attempt may be made in the final judgment it will not be accepted by the state or social the holdings of the trump holder nation. Well we may as we admit the cards an we are not only aware that the Orient won the diplomatic contest WAS THE QUEEN OF SHEBA A BLACK WOMAN? WAS THE QUEEN OF SHEBA A BLACK WOMAN? Chicago, IL Dec 26, 1921 Editor: Negro World 56 West 132th St. New York city Mr. Dear Mr. Ferris, I am inclaming to you a writing. Was the Beautifl Queen of Shiba a Negress? This写 ing appeared in the issue of the Chicago Herald and Examiner of Sunday, the 59th inst. as you will observe on the reverse side of the sheet. I am sendin g it to you thinking that you might see fit to comment on the article. I seems to me that an attempt was made in the write-up to atigmate our present race. I have taken exception to some few items in the write-up. Quoting one of the writers' sentences, he says "In later years this fine old black- skinned race mixed with the savage black—and their empire fell." Then, if this be a fact, we may be quite sure that the end of this white civilization is in sight I do hope, Mr. Ferris, that you may find time and the advisability to write facts upon this matter. I am quite certain I am not the only one who would welcome and appreciate some light on this matter from you. Now thanking and assuring you of my idulity to The Negro World the L N A. and to the race in general, I am sure you truly A NEWELL Chicago. III. THE BLACK MAN'S One of our contemporaries, discussing the possibilities of a match between Jark Dempsey and Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, makes this astonishing statement "A Title Means Little to a Negro—Dollars Mean Much More" It seems to us that this statement is at once outrageous and cruel. It implies that colored men are lacking in sentiment and feeling as well as in pride of race. Nothing could be further from the truth. The history of the prize ring shows that colored men have borne titles as proudly and have defended them as honestly and courageously as any white men that ever crawled through the ropes. There have been occasions when some of them could have made more money by losing than they did by winning, but the colored men boldly repudiated the very thought, and fought and won on their merits. What did dollars mean to Joe Gana, "The Old Master," that day at Goldfield when he compiled with brutal weight conditions and went forty-two bitter rounds to victory against Battling Nelson? Gans took a mere pittance in dollars as compared to Nelson's end, but he kept his title. Jack Johnson, had he valued money above the heavyweight crown, could have gathered a fortune by losing to Jeffries at Reno, and there is little doubt that a plot was afoot at one time to have Johnson so loss, a plot rejected by Johnson. No more honest fighters than George Dixon ever drew the breath of life, and his pride in his title kept "Little Chocolate" champion for years. If Joe Woolcott cared nothing for his title it never showed in the manner in which he hammered down all opposition year in and year out. To say that dollars mean more to a colored fightner than a title, in view of the record of the race, is insulting. It is a reflection upon the great colored fighters, living and dead, and it will be resented by white sportmen who have seen them fight, and win, against almost impossible odds and conditions—Damon Runyon in the New York American. A NEW COLORED ESSAYISI Mr Oscar Jerome Benson, a reporter for the Chicago Defender, has entered a field of literature to which color writers thus far have paid little attention to. He has entered the domain of essay writing which was made popular by Francis Bacon, Charles Lamb, M. A. New Arnold, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Montaine and Saline Beuve. The modern love of the sensations of the picturesque the moving picture, the dance, the magazine section of the Sunday newspapers and the pictorial weekly and monthly magazines have occupied the field in which the essay once reigned supreme, so that today only a small minority of the reading public care deeply for serious and philosophical reflections upon human life. But the world will ever have need of atrous thinkers. The book is entitled Benson's Essays on Metaphysics and Abstract Subjects: First Series Fear, Beauty, Love, Mortality Death, Justice, Business Life and Reason, and Reading and Studying. While the essays are written really by the lofty idealism swiping generalizations and perfection of pleasure of Linerson, they are well worth reading. Keep observation from upon human life and a lust and for those) characterize these essays. Their best passages do not mature naturally with Bacon's essays. Mr Benson is thoughtful and intelligent has ideals and knows how to write. And no rises from the trailing of these essays conscious of the fact that he has learned something. We are glad that Mr Benson has got out of the rut of the hackneyed discussion on the race question and has immedited something in the field of literature. We wish him success and trust that other colored writers have sojourn. W H F AN AFRICAN ROMANCE Edith Pellman in the World Magazine of January 8, 1922, tells the story of the romance of Kamba Bimango and Miss Kathleen Easamon, two native African students. Simango who is a student at Columbia University, met Miss Easamon, the first time in America at a pageantry in a symbolic sketch that began their romance. Simango came from West Africa, and after graduating from Mount Blinda "made his way to Hampton Institute in Nijua, through the kindness of a teacher, who raised money to help him" Dominated by a love for higher training, Simango worked his way to the Teacher's College of Columbia, where he is at present and in order to earn his tuition act as informant to Dr Franz Boas. Professor of Anthropology, who is making a study of the language, customs and arts of Kamba Simango's native tribe Miss Easonon, who is chaperoned by her aunt, Mrs Cassey Hayford, in "Royal Associate of Fine Arts" in London, and is in America raising money to start a native industrial school in Africa. THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO CHURCH A copy of Prof Carter G Woodrow a History of the Negro Church is on our desk and as soon as we get to it we shall review it in these columns. "CHILDREN IN THE MIST" "Children in the Mist." a volume of short stories by Mra. George Madden Martin, is a book every lover of fiction pertaining to the Negro, ought to read. While it is defective in technique (after times the author digresses to inject a bit of personal opinion or philosophy), it is frank in its analysis of the relations of the races just about the time of the emancipation of the slave. Another volume by Mra. Martin, "March On," is off the press, and a writer in the Literary Review recently called attention to fair and unbiased discussion of the Negro problem. At a later date we shall endeavor to review Martin On." THE COLOR LINE "The color line, as it presents itself in various parts of the world and particularly in our South, makes race blending impossible. This is why no 'solution of the Negro problem' is in sight, although much may be done to improve the relations between whites and blacks. The living side by side of elements which diadiat to mix is not objectionable in a society of the Asiatic type, which does not aspire to spiritual unity. But in a 'democratic' society which covets a social mind, a color line is a source of weakness. Such a society should guard its future by barring out any immigrating race with which its members are loath to meet."-EDW. A. ROSS. Editorial Note The Recorder of Deeds We learn that Hon. Wm. C. Mathews, former Assistant District Attorney of Boston, Mass., and former Assistant Consul General of the U. N. L. A., is being considered by President Harding for the position of Recorder of Deeds, for the District of Columbia We believe that the appointment of Mr. Matthews would give great satisfaction to the bulk of colored voters of New England and New York. We have heard of Mr. Matthews ever since he distinguished himself as a baseball and football star at Harvard. We have seen a great deal of him during the past year and a ball, and have had an opportunity to form a personal estimate of him. Mr. Matthews impressed us as a man of great intelligence and magnificence. He knows the law, has had wide experience, is cool and level-headed, and is a gentleman in the bargain. We believe that Mr. Matthews would worthy of the high position, which was filled as accurately by some of his predecessors. Distinguished Egyptian Author Tells Educators and Statesmen of Necessity for Chair of Negro History in Educational Institutions Staff Correarondence Two interesting personalities John E. Bruce (Ortiz) of New York and Duse Mohamed Ali Effendi of Egypt and London arrived at Washington, D.C. December 21 for the African Negro Academy, congress held in this city on the 15th and 26th out. They were received at the station by the president, Mr A Schomburg and the secretary, Mr R A Pohim of the American Negro Academy) who escorted them to the Mu Bo-Lit Club at 1327 R street, N.W., where they were received by Measra Clifford and Hershaw in that exquisite Afro-American Club House which, with its well appointed billiard, reading and recreation rooms, rivals in excellence the best club-houses of Europe. After the reception at the Mu Bo-Lit Club Measra Bruce and Mohamed were escorted to the residence of Captain and Mrs. John Edgar Smith 1812 North street N.W., who were the host and hostess to these two interesting visitors during their eight day stay in West Africa. After dining with the Simpson our guests attended the meeting of the Negro Academy at Rankin Memorial Church where papers were read by Measra Locke, Herlaw and Schomburg Duse Mohamed who was down for a paper on the following night, was requested to say a few words in connection with the discussion which followed the excelsior paper of Professor Locke. Duse Mohamed Al, Effendi in his remarks insisted that the little is known to the Nation in the new world of his origin and he proceeded to give an outline of Negro civilization which he said, began as early as 10,000 years ago, and from the great Hamite Empire in Upper Egypt, which subsequently spread to the lower Northern Africa reaching down to the shores of the Mediterranean. Judge Averell not only supported the excelsior paper of Duse Mohamed Al, but also said that there would be no more white while until the Negro on Africa knew more about him if he had an account and for that reason he would glad to know it. He added that he would be a point for it. Chair of Negro History in the University of the World.

Smith were entertained by our visitors at dinner at the Y W C A and on January 21 Critter and Mr John Cromwell entertained them at luncheon. On Wednesday, January 4 the Effendl at the instance of Mr Wilkinson, the highly cultured and enterprising superintendent of colored schools, addressed the teachers of the Dunbar High School on the necessity for their supporting his efforts in connection with a chair of Negro history. He outlined in his remarks the history of the Negro in the early days of Egyptian civilization tracing the history of the Negro through lower Egypt into East, West, South and North Africa. He pointed out that the Negro is neither the savage nor the barbarian which European history has taught, but that in addition to his being a statesman and diplomat he had fought in the Punic Wars under Humilear Barca in Europe and he had crossed the Alps with Hannibal sitting down at the gates of Rome and that not only were Hannibals and Hannibal Barca troops mainly Negro, but these troops were offered by Negro generals, which caused Bipio Africanus to use Negro officers and Negro soldiers in the subsequent overthrow of the Carthaginian Republic. He also showed that the Negroes, under Mra, the Negro general, had conquered Spain, and that the majority of the Moors were neither yellow nor brown but black—Negroes—and therefore, whilst a priest ridden Europe was steeped in superstition and barbarian, these very Negro Moors in Spain in the Universities of Seville and Cordova, kept the light of science alive and resumed a barbarian Europe from intellectual stagnation. A discussion followed, and the inter- manifested by the teachers of Dunk- lar and the colored Washington schools who were present on this occa- sion gives us considerable hope for the intellectual future of the Negro in Washington as a result of the efforts of the Effend Lunen at the house of our visitors host and hostess Captain and Mrs J E.

OFFICE FORUM By "THE JAY" Littleton NOTE This column is edited by an employee at the American headquarters of the agency. A question is asked every week and answered by the office staff. Question: If the four-pact treaty between America, England, France and Japan is ratified by the United States Senate will it affect the Negro race in the future? Answers The treaty gives four nations—namely, America Japan England and France—a free and equal hand in the Pacific. It tightens the grip on the Chinese Koreans and other loosely organized peoples. Previously the great nations acted singly on Pacific questions, but now their potential economical clamp is drawn closer and better organized. The next step will be a combination agreement among the great nations of Europe and Asia for absolute control of Africa a natural resources. Then it simply means that Negros the world over must be properly organized to stave off such an eventuality. L. S. RAWLINS. It is patent to the veriest tyro that the Disarmament Conference and whatever policies that are born of it is a desperate attempt to bolster up the existing order of society and its system of domination on the one hand and exploitation on the other. The four-pact treaty cannot but strike the student of world affairs as an anacondaic attempt on the part of European diplomacy to divide the darker races by depriving them of the leadership and sympathy of Japan and by tying her to a policy that throws her strength against them in their struggle for self-determination. I agree with the Senator who said that the treaty was "the half-brother of Article X." CHARLES ADAMS. Yes, it will affect the future of the Negro race. Just how it will of course, is a matter that time alone will tell. One thing is certain, and that is that it will mean the organization of the four most powerful nations on earth, with England, France and the United States working for the perpetuation of white supremacy. Should Japan be embroiled in a war with any of the other signatories to the treaty it is logical to assume that she will be despaired by them and left to fight her battles alone. The treaty, if it is ratified, will be a strong link in the chain of the imperial and economic exploiters of Negroroid territories. SYBIL BRANT. In my opinion if the treaty is ratified it will benefit the Negro race to some extent. The powers were not considering the welfare of the Negro race when they formed this treaty, and it is nothing but a balance of power arrangement; THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 THANK GOD THE SPIRIT OF AFRICA IS RISING Anti-White Feeling Grows in Africa-Said to Be Encouraged by Negroes in the United States LONDON, Jan 4.—Anti-white feeling is fast increasing among the natives in various parts of Africa, states Reuter's in an article "based on documentary and other evidence obtained at first by an authoritative British observer who has visited every part of Africa." Reuter's intrignant emphasizes the growing cohesion of native races throughout the continent. He says the strongest factor in the development of antagonism to the whites is "skillful propaganda tostered by an extreme section of American Negroes." "Circulars coming from Nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from African societies in the United States, translated into five of the principal African languages, are distributed in enormous numbers throughout Africa," the traveler states. "Booklets of 25 to 30 pages urge that the time has arrived for the black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoke." "It is only fair to say," adds the authoritative British observer, "that these are not received with universal sympathy, but the very unsettling effect is easily to be observed." He has met it in the Union of South Africa, in French Equatorial Africa and in a lesser degree in Uganda, in Nyasaland, Belgian Congo, Abyssinia and Kenya. "It is wonderful the extent to which the war has produced fraternal feelings among natives, but in present circumstances they tend to become anti-European," he continues. The main reason is the growth of race consciousness through the world. "The most effective remedy is an equitable system of land tenure guaranteeing to the native a stake in the country, protecting from eviction by his own chief or local European interest and a system of higher education that provides something more than the three Rs." which is always provocative of war. for other natives and races outside of the treaty will see to their own interest that they form alliances also, so that they will not be dominated by the four powers tion to encourage or also morally or otherwise a downtrodden and struggling people. The Negro therefore would face greater opposition in his struggle upward to a free and redeemed Africa. This treaty will make the Negro see things in terms of race first and not of nationality, and he will be at perfect liberty to seek the side where his interest lies most. Future wars will give the Negro his greatest opportunity for liberty. One of the most unfortunate mistakes made in the recent world's war was when the Negro placed his nationality before his race because it was against his interest that one party had a victory over the other in the conflict. It would have been more to his interest if it had been a drawn fight. Since the four pact treaty will mean that nations and races not included in the treaty will adopt counter measures and seek alliances, then as a race we welcome the ratification of that treaty by the United States Senate. * Some Negroes are inclined to place some vague hope in the belief that the Japanese, as a people of color, are a good anchor on whom to place a degree of reliance. But Japan's imperialist attitude toward China, even though forced upon her as a rotatory measure by the sinister influence of America a dollar diplomacy, should for all time kill those germs of hope that constantly seem to find lodgment in the thoughts of a section of our race. For this reason, and especially since the other three powers have established themselves forever in the minds of Negroes as a combination of the most cruel, blood-sucking imperialists. It would be wicked, idle, even mentally sluggish, to regard the four pact treaty as anything but the most diabolical concentration of exploiters that ever masqueraded under the guise of a "beneficient influence." EUSTON MATHEWS. It is a monastic obstacle in the road to African redemption. In view of the possibility of encountering the African rock ahead in a different manner to that exposed by the well-known H G Wella, England will ultimately induce Japan to acquire interests in Africa. Japan, having done so, in the event of physical clash between African and European elements (England and France), what then? HORTON JOHN. Will the United States Senate ratify the four-pact agreement. If they do they will commit suicide. The terms of the treaty itself are ridiculous. Japan will be a power to be reckoned with in spite of the genius of Western strategists. Japan keeps her secretia. B. A. HAYNES. The four-pact treaty designed to take the place of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, if ratified by the United States Senate may have an ill effect upon the Negro. If the powers can concur on a program directing the policy of the Par East, which will result in a harmonious exp. Station of China by the four nations concerned, it would suggest the possibility of these nations some day agreeing upon a program of permanently exploiting Africa, which will have the sanction of the world through aunningly devised treaty. There are many who think that this four-pact treaty is a trick of the United States to break up the Anglo-Japanese treaty which she feels strengthens the position of the Japanse, not at all liked in America because of their color, and she is substituting in its stead one that will place the Nipponese at a greater disadvantage. In case of war between America and Japan over the California issue (or the vindication of white supremacy in America) the Negro will be faced with the question: Should he help to perpetrate white supremacy in America? ROBERT L. POSTON. Japan will become "a salified nation" and will have no time or inclination. 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 radio activity 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 progress 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 possibilities 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 social development, but above all the Dollar must accompany these otherwise we can't get very far. Great prizes always can be won by sustained energy, absolute integrity, immense courage and a great vision. Mr. Negro man and woman show that you possess these qualities by using the coupon below and buying as many shares as you can in the Negro Factories Corporation. tion to encourage or alter morally or otherwise a downtrodden and struggling people. The Negro therefore would face greater opposition in his struggle upward to a free and redeemed Africa. INABELLA LAWRENCE It will destroy the confidence and respect which colored people have in Japan when they realize that she has taken a narrow and selfish attitude in foraking her darker brothers and becoming an accessory to white supremacy. LOTTIE LIPSCOMB If the four-pact treaty between England, France, America and Japan is ratified the difficulties ahead of the Negro Race to secure political independence, recognition, liberty and equality will be considerably increased. The first two nations illegally possess vast territories in Africa—the Negro's heritage—which they will endeavor to hold to the day of their downfall. Japan is foared by the great white powers, and fearing that the other dark races will some day combine with her against them, they are trying to make her a close ally. If this is made a reality the Negro race will have lost a powerful 'prop.' But since 'self preservation is the first law of nature' and treaties are only "scraps of paper," who can tell what will happen? C HENDRICKS POWELL. WILLIAM L.

By REYNOLDSON MARTIN There are realities here below which are like issues upon the unknown, through which the egress of thoughts seem possible, and whither hypothesis precipitates itself. Not being a member of any of the organizations which are supposed to be guardian angels of the Negro race, I find it very interesting to view the stand that is taken by these emancipating bodies. I notice the number of them is gradually increasing and each takes the appellation of "African" something. Now I never quarrel with myself and take all my own conclusions for granted and do believe that if these men who claim to be so much interested in their race were to unite and work for the good of the race the result would be paramount, as every true man is a cause, a country and an age. Beggars Have No Choice But it is impossible for those Negro intellectuals to be true to their race when they insist upon soliciting alms from the white man, or begging for social equality. Alms are irremediable. Gratitude is paralysis. A benefit has a slimy and ropugnant stinkiness about it which deprives you of your free movement. The odious, opulent and well-fed beings, whose pity has maitreated us, know it. Enough we are their thing. They have bought us. They exact that we should feel ourselves poor wretches, and we should feel them to be gods. Our diminution augments them. On account of having white men at the heads of certain Negro organizations, we notice that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is solely made up of Negroes, is most viciously attacked by these so-called leaders. Why Leaders? The day has come when Negroes must rely on their own initiative and avoid these miscreants and exploiters. Let us eliminate the word "leader" from our vocabulary. Only asses and other animals that cannot think for themselves are led. We must adopt the platform which has a number of executives who are toiling, enduring fighting, dying for the cause of the Negro. Baware of the men who will tell you to love a people, who are always willing to throw a rope around your neck and riddle your body with bullets. We know our worth and we must keep things under our feet. Let us not peep or steal, or skulk up and down with the air of a charity body, a bastard or an interlader in the world. As to Mulatto Leaders It blunts the finer sensibilities to think that conspicuous among the so-called leaders are the mutate element. Think of having these bastards, offspring of commercialized Negro women, to be assuming to represent the race' Men who know not a father, and therefore have no name. Dogs because their mothers were, and they have developed all the instincts of the lower animals. Coming into the world without prenatal affection and dying without knowing from whence they came. What is it to them if 78 Negroes were launched in 1832, 92 in 1833, 68 in 1837, 88 in 1838, 90 in 1839, 121 in 1838, 155 in 1839, 154 in 1838, 124 in 1839, 128 in 1839, 80 in 1839, 109 in 1837, 102 in 1839, 64 in 1839, 107 in 1839, 107 in 1839, 66 in 1839, 66 in 1839, 68 in 1839, 61 in 1839, 64 in 1839, 60 in 1837, 92 in 1838, 73 in 1839, 65 in 1839, 61 in 1831, 63 in 1839, 71 in 1839, 63 in 1834, 97 in 1816, 86 in 1816, 44 in 1817, 64 in 1818, 78 in 1819? In one case the man was burned to death and bits of his charred body were given to children as souvenirs. Yes! Death has effrontery when he shows his work. He insults all the serenities of the gloom when he works outside his laboratory, the tomb. This being was murdered and despoiled. To despoil the spoil—what an exorable achievement! Theus Art in the Midst of Foe It is easy to see that a greater self-reliance must work a revolution in all the offices and relations of the Negro in his religion, in his education, in his pursuit, his modes of living, his association: in his property, in his speculative views. It takes Marcus Garvey thousands of dollars to teach Negroes to love one another, but it just takes the price of a piece of rope to teach white men (who are always loving one a.other) to lynch a Negro. The New Year is here; let us rely on ourselves; never imitate. Our own gift we can present every moment with a cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another we have only an extemporaneous half possession. Beware of Ministers Boware of these men who are supposed to be in the same society and daily practice principles of quite opposite kinds. It seems scarcely credible that men should have or profess to have, beliefs with which their acts are absolutely irreconcilable. It is to be remembered that there were two white Baptist ministers present at the lynching of the man whose body was despoiled and joined in the hilarity that generally accompany the noble deed. Reverend sirs, I am not implious to the devil. Faith in the devil is the reverse side of faith in God. One proves the other. He who doth not believe a little in the devil doth not believe much in God. The devil is the night of God. What is night? The proof of the day.

THE FIGHT OF THE POOR NEGRO AGAINST THE KEPT NEGRO The Strungles of a Poor People for a Place in the Sun By MARCUS GARVEY Very few Negroes of the 4,000,000 scattered all over the world, and especially the 15,000,000 in America, understand the purpose of the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation. This belief is assumed because of the hostility and opposition shown the promoters of this corporation by a large number of so-called educated Negroes of this and other countries. The Black Star Line was organized by the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the 5th day of June, 1919, for the purpose of creating a trade relationship among the Negro peoples of the world, viz. United States of America, South and Central America, the West Indies, Africa, and India. Immediately after the announcement of the organizing of the Black Star Line hundreds of so-called educated Negroes started to oppose the plan. Every effort was used by them to hamper the successful carrying out of the idea of having a black steamship company run by black captains and crew, sailing on the seven seas. These Negro opponents of the Black Star Line acted, some of them, upon their own initiative, while others were paid to oppose the corporation for the purpose of preventing Negroes from engaging in big business. Visionless, purposeless, and narrow-minded, the so-called Negro leaders of four years ago could not foresee the industrial chaos and bankruptcy of the world after the world war. They were unable to foresee millions of Negroes thrown out of employment and reduced to poverty the world over. They were drunk with war prosperity, and like the unthinking of the masses, did not foresee the reaction. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, with a true knowledge of world economics and world conditions, inflow during the war universal industrial stagnation after the war, and for that reason its leaders were determined to lay plans by which the Negro race could be salvaged and protected everywhere. We forewarn that millions of Negroes would be thrown out of employment, that hunger and starvation would stalk through the land, thus it was decided to start the Black Star Livestock Corporation for the purpose of trading between the darker peoples of the world, and carrying their raw materials, produce and commodities from one country to the other thereby creating a universal exchange within the race. That through the establishing of the Black Star Line the African Negroes could ship their produce and raw materials to America, as also the South and Central America and the West Indian Negroes, and, the American Negroes, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Negro Factories Corporation in return would establish factories in the different centers of this country and use these raw materials in manufacturing the necessary commodities of human consumption, which could be shipped back to the end people in Africa, the West Indies, South and Central America, and other markets of the world, this finding employment for Negroes everywhere. An appeal was made to the Negro peoples here, there and everywhere, to subsume to the shares of the Black Star Line to enable the company to buy, charter, and build as many ships as possible, and float them on the seven seas, for the conveying of Negro trade and passengers. Only a small percentage of the poor people responded to the appeal, of the Black Star Line, in buying their shares at $8.00 each Evan when the poor people of the race started buying a few shares, the so-called educated Negroes started their campaign of hostility against the corporation the more. They printed all kinds of malicious and wicked propaganda in their newspapers, vilifying the good intentions of the Black Star Line, and holding up to ridicule, its founders, and organisers, thus making it one hundred per cent, harder for the corporation to carry through its program, that would have been otherwise. Nevertheless, the loyal members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in different parts of the world, but especially in New York, Philadelphia, Newport News, Va., Colon and Panama City, Panama, Boca-del-Fort, Panama, and Cuba, rallied to the city of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and subscribed through money to purchase and float the first ship of the corporation on the Black Sea of October, 1919. Amidst further opposition, as waged against the corporation by Negro papers like the "Chicago Defender," did everything to defeat the plan. The poor people came away with much for their causes, and gave further support to the corporation to enable it to send its troops in the H. Territory, generally located in the S. N. Frederick Douglas, and called out of New York to support S. G. Grundy, Cuba, with 6 CAMDEN, N. J., STAGES A LARGE EMANCI- PATION CELEBRATION The Mayor, Dr. P. O'Connell and Sir Wm. H. Ferris Address a Large and Enthusiastic Crowd in the Armory Camden, N J, Jan. 5.—The citizens of Camden N J, celebrated the Emancipation Proclamation in the Third Regiment Armory on January 2. A parade preceded the celebration, in which the U N I A. Legions, the Black Cross Nurses, the Elks, the Masons and Odd Fellows participated. Then over two thousand assembled in a very large and cold armory and sat for two hours to hear the program until the cold compelled them to retire. Notwithstanding the fact that the clergy, led by Rev. A. Mark Harris and Rev Dr Smith, staged a rival celebration in the McKinley School, that fact did not prevent over two thousand from coming out on a cold day to hear His Excellency the Ht. Hon Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, whose place was taken by Sir William H Forris, Assistant President General of the U N I A. The order of exercises was as follows Program, 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. luffet banquet, 6 p. m. to 8 p. m., grand reception 8 p. m. to 12 p. m. The program was as follows (Irving T. Nuff, chairman committee of citizens). 1. Overture ..... Band 2. Singing, "America" (under di- rection of Mr. S. N. Fern- ders) ..... Audience 3. Invocation ..... Rev. Ransom 4. "The Emancipation Proclaim- ation and the Occasion" ..... Dr. Howard Primas 5. Selection ..... Quartet 6. Address of welcome ..... Hon. Chua- H. Ellis, Mayor of Camden 7. Vocal solo .....

Singing, "Star Spangled Banner" (under direction of Mr. G. N. Fernandere).....Audience 17. Benediction..... Rev. Ransom The Ellis Jazz Band rendered the music. The sheriff also spoke. The Elks won the silver (gold-lined) loving cup for being the best dressed organization in the parade. Mr. J. T Bowman, president of the Camden U. N. I. A.; Mr. J. C. Jonea, the executive secretary; Capt. Mincey of the Legion; Mr. Benjamin Chambers, Mr. Smith and Mr. Rubbage, as officials of the U. N. I. A., entertained the representative from the Parent Body. HON. MARCUS GARVEY fing to the ways and habits of the old and, like the speaker who procured him (Mr. G. E. Carter), he believed we must be willing to go a little farther if we expect to put over the program that will result in the redemption of Africa and the advancement of the Negro throughout the world. We are facing a year in which we are going to be called upon to do real work in this great cause, and though some of us have done wonderfully well, yet we must be willing to do even still greater service; we must do a little more this year than last. GIR WILLIAM H. PERRIS SPEAKS Sir William H. Furris, Assistant President General and Literary Editor of the Negro World, was the next speaker. He never realised, he said, the full power of Marcus Garvey until last Monday, when he went in his place to speak in the armory at Camden, N. J. for the emancipation celebration. The preachers to a man had combined against the Universal Negro Improvement Association to hold another emancipation celebration, but in spite of that 3,000 people came out on a cold day and sat for nearly two hours in the cold armory. U. M. J. A. Most Discussed Organization The Universal Negro Impoverished Association is discussed now more than any other Negro organization in the world, because it has great potentialities. Our people have a farible imagination; we have ambition; we have a native optimism. What is a very good thing, besides it enables the Negro to learn his kind Negro World when other races sight Helps him; but oftentimes with our ambitions and imagination and enthusiasm. --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 COMMISSIONER GIVEN GRAND RECEPTION BY THE BLACK CROSS NURSES OF THE NEW HAVEN DIVISION NO. 29 OF U. N. I. A. Hon. Arden Byran Received Big Surprise by the Ladies of the U. N. I. A., New Haven, Conn. At the residence of Rev. George Samuel Brooks and Mira. Eliza Brooks, 93. Dwellway avenue. New Haven, Conn. Thursday evening. December 39, 1921, a surprise banquet was given by the Black Cross nurses in honor of the Rt. Hon. Arden Byran, commissioner for the State of Connecticut for the Negro peoples. Seven o'clock was the time set for the invited guests, quite a few were present with the exception of two, who arrived soon afterwards. The honored guest made his headquarters at the above residence, and was given all privileges to go to and fro, but this special afternoon, when things were being prepared, he was denied all the former liberties, which caused him to become very serious throughout the period. After things were nicely set Brother Charles Mills was asked to go to his apartment and escort him to the dining room, while the ladies hid themselves. Just as the sentry saw us on our way to the dining room they all came forth in one voice 'Shine on. Eternal Light,' until the procession ended in the well decorated dining room prepared for his honor Those present were as follows Those present were as follows Rev. George S. Brook, Mrs. Ellen Brooks, Mrs. Bella Roberts, leader of the Black Cross Nurses, Brother William Hester, president of the division, Mrs. Hattie Pinto, secretary of the Ladies' Division; Mrs. Loretta Saunders, lady president Mrs. Florence Tyson, second lady president, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Iadale, Mrs. Addle McCormac, Mrs. Mary Hunter, Mrs. Eugene Walhour, Mrs. Beatrice Murry, Miss Maud Lewis, Miss Agnes Dingall, a young lady of 18 years, who made her first appearance in society, and was introduced to our distinguished guest. Soon after the reception, short addresses were delivered by each and every one. We all welcome him to our city, and as Commissioner of the State we pledge to him that we shall ever try to support him in all his efforts, not only him, but any other from the Executive Council parent body, who is trying to foster the good work of the Hon. Marcus Garvey that the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green may never trail into the dust. The Hon. Commissioner responded: Officera, Members of the Black Cross of New Haven Division: It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be here. I have found the true spirit of this division. It is quite similar to what Rome had conferred upon Cusan. The spirit of this evening shows, like the water on the Hudson. May the good of our own Father, who guides the hands of destiny, always direct me, that I may continue to be a true and loyal Negro to the cause. Just as you have surprised me tonight, I trust the time is not distant when our great leaders will surprise you with an independent African government. The reception came to a close at 10.55 p. m., with the National Anthem, Ethiopia." Benediction by Rev. George S. Brook. CHARLES H. MILLA, General Secretary. Dec. 29, 1907. Dec. 29, 1921. expect to attain success at a single blow. Alluding to Mr. Poston's reference to the Y M. C. A., Professor Ferris said: "Do you know that there were Y M. C. A.'s scattered over the county before I was born? And it has taken between 45 and 50 years for the Y. M. C. A. movement to get the strength it has. And when we consider that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is less than four years of age and is a world-wide organization, it is miraculous that it could attain such size (Applause.) What the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied corporations have already accomplished and achieved in the past is but an evidence of what it will accomplish and achieve in the future. When people speak to me about Seligman's article in the New York World I tell them that he (Seligman) forget that an organization in itself is a potential asset, and whenever you get the people together, whenever you can mobilize them, all things are possible with them. We read that the Negro banks have been hit hard by this wave of financial depression. A bank in Indiana was closed; Anderson's bank in Jacksonville was closed; another bank in Virginia was closed and also a bank in Washington suffered. Some men claimed as a result of that Negroes couldn't succeed in big business. It is not true. The same man who succeeds in petty business can succeed in big business if he has the required capital. Where our men have suffered has been that in entering into big business they have not had a large reserve once inside them ever understood emergencies, but the time will come when Negroes issuing into big business will have a reserve fund and then will see wonderful results and DOMINICA ANXIOUS TO SECEDE FROM LEEWARD ISLE CONFEDERACY Deputation to Present Case Before British Under Secretary of State for Colonies—Census Shows Tremendous Increase in Negro Population 8v CIV18 AFRICANJS By CIV18 AFRICANJ8 At the last meeting of the Legislative Council Mr Beescher, unofficial white member, put before the council the two resolutions adopted by the Dominica Representative Government Association re (1) the granting of a form of representative government to the people of this island and (2) the disconnection of this island from the Leeward Islands Confederacy. The council voted in favor of both resolutions. Czar N—— white official member, could not resist the "turning of the tide." Mr. Wood, the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, is expected here on January 9, re representative government, etc. The deputation to interview him will consist of Messra. Didier, M. L. C., C. G. Harris, W. C Winston (Negroes) and W. Stedman Archer (white) of the Chamber of Commerce, and Mosra. L. Rose, J. C Macintyre (whites) and Francis Potter (Negro) of the Agricultural Society Rumor has it that Messra Corcil E. A Rawlo, A. R C Lockhart and J. R H Bridgwater (Negroes) will represent the D. R. G Association and that a member of the Legislative Council will be chosen to lead the association's deputation. The following subjects will be discussed Representation defederation, local loans, coastal service, currency and finance. Attention, gentlemen! What about our poor roads? The returns of the last census gave the population of Dominica at 12,000 (35,362 Negroes, 141 pure-blooded Caribs and 566 (*) whites). It is believed that the number of whites is a big joke. We are afraid that many Negroes playing white (the fellows of light skin) wrote the word white under the heading "Complexion" on the census papers instead of the word "colored." Such mistakes were found out among the Caribs, of which the chief clerk at the General Register office wrote the: "I would not with certainty affirm that the definitions of the complexion on the schedules were adhered to strictly; for example, the pure-blooded Caribs, numbering 141 described them lives 'white.' These were, however, grouped with 'colored.'" wonderful effects. I believe that a race that could master mathematics, could produce inventors, could master the science of the Caucasian can also succeed in business when it has the required capital. The U. N. I. A. a Blessing to the Negro I believe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a blessing to the Negro because it is the first great movement on the part of the masses of the Negro race to do something to help themselves and produce big results. Apart from the dividends or the interest which may be realised from the enterprise, back of it there is something that is deeper and more fundamental, and that is the soul life of the Negro, which has been stirred both in the Eastern and in the Western hemisphere. If you could sit with me some evening in the Negro World office and see letter after letter, some of them written in broken English but pulsing with heart and soul and spirit, you would see that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has stirred the Negro in the fundamental depths of his nature as no other movement has. Whenever you have a man's conscience—whenever you have appealed to his soul—whenever you have held up high ideals before him—whenever you have held up an objective before him, you have given that man that impulses and that spirit which will spur him on to deeds and achievement. Abraham Lincoln by one stroke of his pen on January 1, 1863, emancipated four million Negroes from bondage in the South; but the Negro a mind needed to be emancipated, he needed to be taught to feel that what other races and what other men and other nations had accomplished and achieved he could accomplish and achieve. He needed to be taught to feel and believe that he was a man created in the divine image just as other men were; that he had a mind a soul and a spirit like other men, and that he was an offspring of his Maker and that his mission in life was to develop and unfold the latent possibilities of his personality. The U N I A. has given to the Negro the vision of commercial and industrial enterprises which will give him strength to battle his way and fight his way through the world. No Need for Deapair Sometimes when we look at the Caucasian and see the great civilization that he has built up, especially in a city like New York, we are tempted to despair: but we must remember that it took 800 years to evolve New York City out of Manhattan Island. Give us 200 years in Liberia and no one can tell what the outcome will be and what the outcome might be. I think you have shown a great deal of stamina and fibre during the two and half years that I have been in your midst. You have been sober and serious and have not attempted to believe that in a day or generation you can scale the peak of a mountain which it has taken the Caucasian race nearly two thousand years to reach, and I believe that in the near future, when the historian of the twentieth century will record the great deeds and achievements, among the bright and scholarly achievements which will be painted in affirming colors from the pages of human history, will be what the Universal Improvement Association has wrought in the souls of black men. (Applause.) If the chief clerk had taken the pains to make an investigation he would no doubt have found out some, if not all, of the white" Negroes. Out of a population of 87,059, only 11,787 can read and write. This alone gives an idea of the crippled state of education in this island. The chief clerk again writes "It is even doubtful whether the whole of this number are able to or not, as it is a well-established fact that people generally do not care to acknowledge their ignorance." This is indeed true. For such ignorance the people themselves and the Department of Education are to be blamed. Why do the authorities and the people take so little notice of education in this advanced age? We shall see more of this subject (education) at a future date. The chief clerk in making up the returns of the last consus should not have written such igar remarks as he did. He must bear in mind that he is of the same race (Negro) as those he tries to debase, he is far from being the most intelligent Negro in our midst, and that if such unfortunate conditions as he reported exist among the masses, his bosses and himself too, are to be blamed. Dominica seems to have been affected by the Disarmament Conference. The 47 inch gun, on which so much of the people's money was wanted to erect at "The Morne" (Rouen) in 1917 was taken down on December 16 to be shipped to England. Who is going to pay the five white gunners who were sent here to remove the gun? Is it the taxpayers in Dominica? People of Dominica, won't you wake up from your slumber and call a halt to such waste? The Disarmament Conference held at Washington was a waste of time. The erection and removal of the gun at The Morne' Russell Dominica, B. W. I' was a waste of money. What is England doing? Is Ireland driving her mad? Lieut Col E T W Flennes, Governor of the Leeward Islands, arrived here from Antigua on the 20th inst and is expected to leave for Antigua tomorrow. Roy Dr Harten, a missionary to Africa, was next called upon to speak and said. There is something that always inspires one to be in Liberty Hall. There is something that makes you feel at home here, there is something that appeals to you, something that satisfies one in coming here, and that something is that which inspires you to be a free man—independent—that desire to be free which God has placed in every man I would speak to you on the subject of Ideal. Many of us as we go along in this city or other parts of the Western world believe we are doing well and it is all right; but there is something that a nobler, there is something that God has ordained that every man should have and that is freedom I believe that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association must succeed. All that you want to do men and women is to stick to the job and say "whatever may be the result I am going to right to the end to put over this program." I believe that there are many organizations today in America that are clamoring for the betterment of the Negro. But what do these organizations mean? They mean that we must stay right in America or in the West Indies, or in some other part of the white man's land and make it possible for us to live there. I do not believe in that. I do not believe that as Negroes we will be able to enjoy the same political, social and economic possibilities as the white man enjoys while we are in his land. I believe the time must come when we muse have a land for ourselves. World Like a Baseball Field I believe this world is just like a great baseball field, where you have two teams coming together, each team fighting for itself. There you have nine men on the field, these nine men are fighting to win victory for their side. You will find each player on his own base and he must play there before he can capture success, and so I believe God has given every r o a base on which to play and work and it must work there and capture success for itself. I believe the Negro base is Africa. (Anplauso) In 1916 I graduated from Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., and was appointed by the Foreign Mission Board of the Baptist Convention, as a missionary to Africa. I sailed for Africa at the time when the war was at its highest; the seas were charged with submarines; but I believed that Africa must be redeemed to the Africans, and the Africans redeemed to God. I did not care about the submarines; I did not care about the jeopardy of my life. I bid farewell to Western civilization and sailed for Africa. I worked for four and one-half years in Liberia and organized a school there. My plan is to train the Africans. This thing you are doing here is a great thing, but you will excuse me when I say that if Africa must be saved we are not going to do it so much by the Negroes in the Western world, for lots of us will not go back there; but you have got to charge the African with civilization and Christianity; teach him to understand that God has made him like other men and that he is able to do what other men have done. That more than anything else will help him to pull himself out of slavery and bondage.

We are engaging a change. The political boundary be readjusted and in this readjustment every Rare is endowed is sufficiently secured as to protect its own integrity. Hence, the civil, Irish, Poland for the Poles, Palestine for the Jews. All the Negroes in America, Canada, the West Indian South and Central America, are descendants of the native Africans who were enslaved in the slave trade and the Caribbean World to work as slaves, during which period of time we came to contact with the white man's civilization. Out of this contact, we have developed a civilization that is still in existence today. The present national wealth of the present-day Negro. The present generation of Negroes is far removed from the slaves of one hundred years ago. The Negro mites 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 readjusted, and in this readjustment every Race is endeavoring to find a home sufficiently secured as to protect its own integrity. Hence, the cry of Ireland for the Irish, Poland for the Poles, Palestine for the Jews. 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 those at home and those abroad who were torn from their homes in the past. As we know, two hundred and fifty years have left in this Western hemisphere, but who are today numbered 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 in Africa, and build it on the principles of the race which the Race may abide out as an ethnic principle of life. STRONG COMMERCIAL STATE IN LIBERIA The Universal Negro Improvement Association has laid its plans for the repudiation of Africa by first building up a strong industrial and commercial state in West Africa. Liberia was established over one hundred years ago. Its independent government is dominated by all colored people. The President and active Government are colored.

Writer Points Out Its Dangere, Suggesting That It Ought Not Be Practiced by Negroes, as It Inevitably Results in Disease and Complete Racial Suicide By HUBERT J. COX I have an abiding faith in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is because its usefulness for the present and its unlimited possibilities for the future have been fully met by a constructive program, including the ability of its leaders to meet with tart, diplomacy, logical reasoning, truth and justice the problems that come before them for consideration Every day stunch supporters of the righteous cause find material for study, education and enlightenment. The mind is made alert, a deeper consciousness arrests the attention to look closely and carefully into our well-being, so that an end worthy of the means employed can stand out in bold relief as a beacon light of our progress. With this idea prominent, you will permit me to voice through the columns of your valuable paper a note of warning and direction on the new manace. Family Limitation and Birth Control ture an opportunity to impress by the great cosmic force the young born at the several stages of the world a evolutionary advancement. It robs parents of that indisoluble bond that bind them as one. In all ages of history men and women have been born to deliver a special message to a waiting world. Who can tell that the restrict-ed son or suppressed daughter was not the child to inspire us onward and upward to paradise and perfection? It is self-evident that those twin The time has come when in no uncertain language without hesitation or fear facts must be looked aquatically in the face to avoid errors and suffering. Parenthood is a composite of all nature the desire for children is imitate to men and women therefore the suppression or restriction by any means whatever is a denial of the ego for further expression this is a wrong that cannot be too firmly opposed. Nature has endowed us with the powers of preemption and stimulates at the correct period of life sexual inclinations as an impulse to complete development. The proper place for women to live is home, with their daily increasing freedom, politically economically their friends in all communities and professional pursuits it has become a burden for them to function in keeping with the laws of nature. Heren live the freedom from motherhood and in consequence we are in the brave and in the racial pride. The power of the mother exists a very high. The suppression or restriction of intimate desire for children by women results in systems melancholy nervous unhappiness stifling of spiritual influences disease and an early grave. The suppression or restriction of intimate desire for children by men through influencing the feminine mind to the contrary making themselves unstable of fertilizing the ovaries, result in self deharmement, maturation death, silence may suicide and untimely death. control with limitation and Birth Control with its active agents, sterilization elimination of foies, impotent spermatozoon, are aberrant measures to right-thinking men and women. The remedy for our unusual times is not to be found in the inurdering of motherhood blasting the hope of expectant fatherhood throwing out of adjustment the delicate and intricate machinery of the body. It lies rather in the acknowledgment of the sisterhood and brotherhood of all people, the understanding that man's rightful place is the provider for himself and family. It lies in the courage of women to let go their ambitions, to again consecrate themselves to all that womanhood stands for in the immeasurable glory, a willingness to exert a spiritual and beneficial influence on all men, the abnegation to rise above the patty demands of self, feeling that men in all their activities, the hurry and bustle of life, their failures and successes, represent the other half of themselves. The honesty and integrity of owners of property and enterprises to relocate men to their former positions, placing within the reach of all a livelihood sufficient to meet responsibility As we rise above these false ideals and cheating will-o'the-wispes the overvalued pleasures which engage the attention of the young of both sexes will give place to ability and new pursuits by which a crime against nature and our race will not be written in the pages of our honored history. I am against family limitation and birth control because it has been the good fortune of several parents to have a fourth son or a fifth daughter who was born with several talents and genius. What kind of man are those who do not look forward to giving his son some of the inspirational advantages he may have lost? What kind of women are those who do not look forward to handing down cherished traditions to her daughters and leading them into the way of mysterious life? Who are the sons and daughters of today the children of yester year—who do not look back on the fond recollections of happy childhood, loving parents? Are there any so morally dead who will not in defense of the supreme sacrifice of mother and the nobility of father swell the chesus of a just indignation against an evil that would have seen us unborn? Will any allow to go into nothingness the ties of fond sisters and stalwart brothers? Family limitation and birth control places hope outside the breast of loving maiden and youth to see their consummate wishes; it denies to parents an opportunity to yet cherish thoughts of a son or daughter who will be a blessing to their declining years. Birth control and family limitation robe women of that grace; that only closes after motherhood; thus childhood of that calm courage to do and to dare for loved little ones. Birth control robe humanity: denying love. ture an opportunity to impress by the great combo force the young born at the several stages of the world's evolutionary advancement. it robs parents of that indissoluble bond that bind them as one. In all ages of history men and women have been born to deliver a special message to a waiting world. Who can tell that the restricted son or suppressed daughter was not the child to inspire us onward and upward to paradise and perfection? It is self-evident that these twins of erring lives show us the trend of the times. A bugle call arouses every honest man and woman—no matter what may have been the difficulties of childhood—to speak out with firm resolve that they will not be accessories before or after the fact. This is brutal murder in its newest garb. In the light of reason it is hard to believe that our boasted progress has brought about a dense mental blindness and attempts to repudiate nature that was the deciding factor in our lives. There is no true desire to approve or silently uphold a course foreign to the divine impulse. These repulsive temples and inhuman practices of incurred minds corrupted bodies souls in perdition must play no part on the stage of our reconstructed hopes and highest aspirations. The Supreme Architect of the universe looks down on us with an all-seeing eye, notting whether we will depart from the ancient landmarks. As numberless as the sands on the seashore with a voice terrible in its denunciation, let us all have done with family limitation and birth control. A free and redeemed Africa calls for our all and the shadow a mite. CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE Leloumen and Women of the Negro Race. Members of Jamaica, N.Y. Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League; Greetings. We are upon the threshold of a new year, and as a people who have much in common in this world as other races that dwell upon this earth. I take this opportunity to appeal to your manhood and womanhood for the support of the principles and policies of the U N I A and A C L L Fellowmen and women, your duty toward the U N I A is manifest and manifold. Duty determines destiny. Destiny, which results from duty performed, may bring anxiety and peril, but never failure and dishonor; pursuing duty may not always lead by smooth paths. Another course may book easier and more attractive, but pursuing duty for duty's sake is always sure and safe and honorable. The U N I A. and A. C. L. fight not only the battles of the Negro peoples it the world against the powers that prey upon them, but also the battles of civilization against the powers that oppose it. The past has revealed to you all its secrets, but the present is as clear and distinct as a midday sun. "Therefore act." You are the master of your fate and you are the captain of your soul. The future is resplendent and shining with new things to be accomplished; there are greater things to be than ever have been. You and I must prepare ourselves to do the world's work. The new year offers a great opportunity all along the line. World peace is coming, a universal brotherhood is on the way. The problem of the government of Africa for the Africans at home and those abroad demands solution. Truth, freedom and reason must be enshrined. The ethics of the world's teacher must be planted in the "hearts of our oppressors." May I not look forward to you, then, for your uninflishing support of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. that we may play our part well in the redemption of "our motherland. Africa." I share with our illustrious leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, in the firm conviction of the race. Give, then, to the Jamala Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. your moral, intellectual and financial support, and as Thompson has well said, speak the commanding word, "I will," and it is done. Get Knowledge, get courage and with grim and unshakable resolution to persist, "Go ahead." All this my compatriots is my message of this Yuletide and New Year. You have a "new leaf" before you; be true and honest with yourself all that sage or philosopher can now say to you is: "Look into your heart and write fine." Wishing you an abundance of Divine blessing and joyous and prosperous Christmas and New Year. I have the honor to be your humble servant. (Signed) OCTAVIUS ALEXD.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 LEGEND OF INFERIORITY OF DARKER RACES MUST GEASE, DECLARES GENERAL MANGIN French War Commander Startles Parisian Circles by Asserting "There Is an Intellectual Elite Among the Blacks"—Awarding of Goncourt Medal to Martiniquian Precipitates Great Race Discussion in Europe THREE Extraordinary General Meetings of the NEW YORK DIVISION Universal Negro Improvement Ass'n. AT LIBERTY HALL, 120 W. 138th ST. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS 17th, 18th and 19th January, 1922 The 30,000 members of the New York Local are requested to be in attendance. Business of the new year to be discussed and transacted. BY ORDER NEW YORK DIVISION, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS CARVEY, President Paris Dec 28 - An end must be put to this absurd legend o. the inferiority of the black race. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white race. Speaks From Knowledge So declares General Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the blacks following the winning of the Goncourt literary prize by the Martinique writer Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populous Germany. Their fighting value he proved in the war, for Manger' Mangin colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensives. The General gained his affection for the colored races during the twenty years he spent in colonia military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier but has considerable competence in literary talent, which gives weight to his remarks on culture among the Negro races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the blacks, whom liberty has introduced to our culture, he asserted in an interview. And experience has demonstrated that this elite possesses the ability to excel in every domain of human activity. "Civilisation has its source in yellow Asia, black India and black Egypt Greece dates only from 1,200 or 1,500 years before Christ, and Rome was only a tardy parvenu in the history of world development. Our alphabets are Asiatic and our figures Arab. In short, the white race is only a stage in humanity, not the first nor probably the last. There is no guarantee that it will not be outdistanced by the colored races in future ages." "But doesn't Africa seem a little behind?" the interviewer asked. Aa Good Morale as Paris Has That depends on what is understood by progress. There is moral progress, which has not made much advance for centuries, and scientific progress, which strides with giant paces. Moral progress is as good as, and perhaps better than, in Paris, among certain African tribes. As to the second, more illusory than real, Negroes assimilate it with disconcerting rapidity. Three months is sufficient for them to become locomotive drivers, steamboat pilots or taxicab chauffeurs. All our wireless stations in Africa are served by natives. "In the vast zone which extends between the valleys of the Senegal, the Niger, the upper affluents of the Congo, the basin of Bahr-el-Ghazal, the White Nile and Abyssinia, inhabited by tribes which may be mostly included in the black races, we find in the language, manners, religions, monuments and arts all the elements of immemorial civilizations. Why have these people not received earlier what are called the benefits of Western civilization? It must be confessed that it is largely due to the whites, who long have been nothing toward the black but pitiless 'nigger' drivers. In the Darkest Africa of Stanley the blacks have remained nearer to the primitive Negro. That is a question of climate, the humid heat of the equator sapping the energies of the people. They remain devoted to the horrors of fetishism and sometimes cannibalism. "But my long experience or the advanced black races permits me to affirm that for family virtues, qualities of heart and intelligence they compare very well with our own populations. Lacks Heredity "Admittedly, from the intellectual point of view, the Negro lacks heredity His misfortune was to be considered for thousands of years as human cattle. All routes toward the civilizing elements of West and East were barred to him. Yet his heart has remained pure, his soul ingenuous and his intelligence open. He is avid to learn and understand. And he is naturally very faithful, devoted, loyal and very able to the sentiment of honor and nobility of individual sacrifice for its causes. Is there a Negro literature as there is a Negro art? The general was asked. The latter is more popular, but a Negro literature exists, and I can certify that it does not lack observation, sensibility or fantasy. The blacks have an innate gift of imagery and they express with force and not without finesse what they feel and what they think. Their story tellers are legion. Their griots (a special case which includes historians, poets, musicians and sorcerers) have a repertory of tales not less piquant than our old fables in verse. They have also lyric poesy. The Bongo', a heroic and sentimental lamentation, is most moving. And what shall I say of the touching oracle songs of the 'Bons of Somori'. The French writer, black or white who collected the elements of African folklore would certainly add a national novel to our literature Among writers who have taken up their pen in celebration of the be仗 confraternite shown by the bestowal of the chief French literary prize of the year on a colored man, is the well-known publicist Ettienne Grosselade. He indulges in severe criticism of the American and British way of handling Negroes and about the praises of the French method Scores America and England "By its haughty manner toward the masses of Negroes within its territory the great American democracy, otherwise so generous and humane, seems to forget at this point the Good Samaritan," writes M. Grosclaude. "With us the old regime did not wait for the proclamation of the League of the rights of man to treat our colored subjects as members of the family. I truth we have never been a race of slave dealers. Doubtless a few were recruited among our coastal population at the time of the great adventure, but our friends of Great Britain and the Low Countries were always our superiors in this sort of navigation. Even since the abolition of slavery, the Hollanders have always exploited their possessions in the strong manner, though with a marvelous practical sense. The English have excelled in the exploitation of the most populous colonies by an infinitesimal number of white officials. But the English do not admit—I do not say legally but morally—the union of white men and black women. The Frenchman is infinitely more cordial with his black male cousins and more gallant with his black female cousins. Generally the French resident, civilian or military, lives on excellent terms with the local population as soon as they realise we are not there to persecute them or hold them to ransom, and that there is every advantage in supporting themselves on our tempered tutelage and good fellowship. That is what distinguishes us from the English—correct, loyal and haughty, who know better how to make themselves feared than to make themselves loved. I believe we are the only nation in the world which treats the blacks as brothers—as inferior brothers, if in default of sufficient moral or intellectual emancipation, they have not attained their social majority; as equals when their rich primitive nature, brought to Apply Department of Labor and Industry 56 West 135th Street, New York "This is the greatest book on the Negro that we have ever read.

DUSE MOHAMED LECTURES ON "MODERN EGYPT" Speaking under the auspices of the Eclectic Club at the Jackson School of Music, West 188th street, Saturday night January 7, 1923. Duse Mohamed All Emendi, author, actor, playwright and journalist, gave a lecture of great historical significance on "Modern Egypt." Mr. Mohamed brought out a great deal of valuable information on Under the reading and translation of this paper by my clerk, Mr. Jae T. Afarf, I have clearly understood the contents and speeches delivered by some of the members of the U. N. L. A. I wish I wore there to witness the grand meetings, but I hope it will not be long before all things will come into light for every man to see in this universe. Many people speak of a victory to come, but as for me, I say it is already come. How many days does it take a steamer from New York to our coast here, is it not 30 days? But how many days have the Black Star Line Steamships taken to Liberia, is it not 25 days? Did our dear fellow Negroes come to Liberia with swords in hand? I hope not. Did the Black Star Line Steamships land on the coast guarded by submarines. I doubt it. For justice sake, victory is already come. If it is so, why do you linger on the way. Come fellow men, for out of 20 days to the Gold Coast, you have crossed twenty-five I am the only chief on the coast here who is a subscriber, but in order to reveal its precious secrets to all the people I have entrusted this work unto the kind care of two native ministers who have to read and translate it to the chiefs and their subcota. Everywhere they go the contents of the papers are of a high reception, which I believe will do much good among the Negroes. Oh, come, comrades, come, for the way is clear, come for all things are there untouched. Let us fight again and again for our freedom, for by hook or by crook, they will not deny us our rights.

Miss Davis recited a conversation she had with a Mr Michael, a California Jew, who drew a parallel of the Negro and the Jew—both fighting for a restoration of their ancient homeland. "It is indeed a pleasure to be with you again," said Miss Davis. "I am glad to have this opportunity, and I am proud that I was here last night. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the children here in their recitations, seeing 'them playing—how free they were in Liberty Hall. That is as it should be; they should have freedom to enjoy themselves. And I thought last night that as an organization you should set aside one night of each month and call it children's night. Let them have a little time after the program. Of course it won't always be Christmas; you won't always have a Christmas tree, but you can make the children happy The Curse of Race Prejudice "We all look back at the pleasant time that we had when we were children. And I throw out that suggestion tonight—one night in each month we should call children's night. "I was surprised there were not more people here last night. We should all be interested in the children they are our future hope, they are our future leaders. And we should train and do what we can toward the training of our children. "Colored children have so much to make them unhappy. I know that from my experience. The time comes when they learn they belong to a race that is segregated, despised and jim-crowed for no other reason than that they are black; and it is a sad day for a colored child. So it behooves us to make our children as happy as we can. And I shall be glad indeed when we can found a nation in Africa where our children can grow up free and untrained from prejudice. That's what I am working for and that is what every member of my race should work for, that our children can enjoy a greater freedom than we have ever been permitted to enjoy. And I think that all of us should become enthusiastic workers in the U. N. L. A. in the interest of the little ones. Forced to Wander in Alien Lands "When I saw this dear woman last night, when I saw how she got the children together and trained them, not only for the sake of the Negro children, but for the children of Los Angeles as well, I said: 'She is a noble woman and I honor and love her, and I shall never forget her.'" "I am glad the dove of peace is hovering over Los Angeles. I shall feel better satisfied than if I had left last week. I feel that my mission has been fulfilled, that what Marcus Carvey sent me for has been done and my mission performed. I feel that I shall leave you all in harmony and peace, looking forward instead of backward, working hopefully for the improvement of the U. N. I. A. "What a boon you have before you, the redemption of your fatherland. A gentleman called on me today—you know Mr. Michael. And he licensed the condition of my people to the condition of his people. He said that the Jews had been forced to wander in alien lands just as the colored people are forced to wander in alien lands; that the Jews are a scattered people and that the colored people are likewise scattered—not because they want to be a scattered people, but because of the prejudices and hatred of other men. He called attention to the fact that the Jews for years had worked for the redemption of their land, Palestine, and that the Negroes were buoy likewisely redemining Africa. And he expressed the belief that the time is not far distant when Palestine should be populated with the Jews and Africa should be populated with its scattered sons and daughters, and that the Jew and The Vigor Of Youth Negro should 'well side by side in love and harmony as in ancient times. What a beautiful thought, my friends. He did not suppose that I would come here I might and tell it, but I must tell it, for it shows the beauty of his mind. And he said he would leave here tonight to travel in the interest of the U. N. I. A. The Jews have scattered their propaganda throughout the world, and they have had divisions in their ranks as we have had amongst our people. These divisions exist. we cannot escape, but we must learn to bear them, to grasp the situation, learn to become victorious over them, and by overcoming them we shall only become the stronger "As I listened to Rev Matthews I said. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. Although he knows me, I do not know him; it is so with thousands of people throughout the world wherever I go. I have all my life been a busy woman, and, just as he says, I go to my home, stay there maybe half an hour, and I am gone again I cannot enjoy the quietude of my own home, but I have chosen to wander for the benefit of my race. I am not compelled to do it from circumstances. I would not need to do it, for all my life I have been so busy that I could afford to go home and sit down and read the newspapers about the current events; but I cannot see my people suffer without doing my best to alleviate their suffering. And if I die trying to alleviate their suffering I shall feel that I have not died in vain. Because I could have it comfortable by my own fireside is no reason why I should not feel the suffering of my alms and brothers in the South, in the East and in the Western part of this country, in the West Indies, in Central and South America and in Africa. "I feel their troubles because I am identified with my race. I know my people in Alabama, in Mississippi, in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Oklahoma. I know them in the country, on the farms and the plantations, because I have lived with them on those farms and plantations. I know them in the beautiful islands of the West Indies. I know just what they suffer there—a little different from what we suffer here, but they are suffering just the same. And those suffering are crying to high heaven. I know them in Ecuador, Peru, British Guiana, French and Dutch Guiana, and I sympathize with them in their struggles. "Memories crowd my mind as I think of the many deeds of cruelty that I have seen in my travels against my people. And if you could have seen what I have seen, if you could have felt what I have felt, you, too, would take up the cause for your race: you, too, would be as I. ready to cross the continent at any time, at any hour, for the sake of your race. But words fail to describe some things: they have to be seen and felt to be really understood. "However, in this, my farewell speech to you, I leave my blessing with you and trust that from this time forth you will go on in the bonds of love and unity, and that you will cast aside all things that are detrimental to your growth. You should look forward to buying this property. You can do this by adopting a practical program. You have about a hundred members. I believe. You can double up the number in a month if everybody will go out and get one member. Don't try to get everybody, but try to get just one, and try to convince them that this society is the only salvation of the Negro: that it is the only organization which solves the Negro problem. It will be no problem to Negroes if they will fall into this movement. We have been a problem to the white man and also to ourselves. And we have been the biggest problem to ourselves, because sometimes we have misrepresented ourselves. As our friend has said, this is a crazy city, I don't want to take the impression from him that all the Negroes here are crazy, but I have known two or three that were crazy. And they are not only undesirable citizens, but they should be locked up; but they are not members of this division of the U. N. I. A. ("Laughter"). "No, they are not members—and they show their insanity by not being members." ("Laughter"). "That is their first trace of insanity."

"Speaking of the children again, someone expressed the hope that we would have schools in Liberia I want to say a number of years ago Rev _____ established a college in Liberia. We are going to enlarge that college and put it on a footing with any other college in the world. That is another thing we have to look forward to—the development of the Libertian College. A part of this Libertian Construction Loan is to be used for the higher educational development of youths in Africa. "I suppose you all read Prof. Picken a article in The Negro World. He is a scholar, a man of experience, and when he speaks he says something. And when he writes he gives you something to remember I read it at one sitting. I would not let anything come between me and my article. For Brother Picken has answered our enemies, he has given them a knockout blow in the solar plexus so they can't come back at all. So read that article. He has told us it is the greatest organization in the world. Yet he is a professor of the N.A.A.C.I" but he is not afraid of losing his job. He comes down to Liberty Hall whenever he feels like it. And we ask him to speak and he expresses his sentiments. Sometimes he just likes to steal in and listen to Marcus Garvey, for he thinks, as we think, that Marcus Garvey is the most remarkable person living today. It is something to hear him, and it is more to know him. And to know him is to respect and revere him. I received a telegram from him today, and I think so much of it I am just carrying it around, because in it he wished me a merry Christmas and a happy new Year. In it he told me to be in Chicago on the ninth of January and to be in New York city on the eleventh of January. And by the help of God I am going to be there. And although it means fatigue of travel, although it means I have to speak to a large audience that night and have to leave immediately for New York, yet I don't mind it. I am glad to have the opportunity to do as my chieftain bids me. I shall possibly leave your city tomorrow afternoon or tonight, and I am asking you to do your best—for Marcus Garvey expects you to do it—towards giving a splendid collection.

But I am begging for your race, and I am ready to go to the uttermost parts of the world in my efforts for their behalf.

And the thought of doing something for my race has warmed my heart and has made me not feel weary, has made me go on. So I am asking you now to come forward and give me your Christmas offering. Kindness has been shown me while here, and it shall not be forgotten. I have been comfortably located here and I thank you, but I am on my way now, so help me on. You know you used to sing.

GUATEMALAN RESENTS "LIBERTY" AND "FORWARDNESS" OF CYRIL BRIGGS Says Ho Is Satisfied with the Leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey—Brigga an "Educated Fool" and Can Go to "Hades" for All James Wynter, Violent U. N. I. A. Booster, Cares Cyril Briggs, august chief of the African Blood Brotherhood, is getting it good and hot from those U N I A members whose names and addresses he got hold of through his exquisite association with that disgraced official of the U N I A, "Bishop" Alex McGuire. It seems that Briggs has been sending a copy of his magazine, "The Crusader," to members of the U N I A along with circular letters, trying to discredit Hon Marcus Garvey and other officials of the U N I A. But when he hit Los Amates, Guatemala, Briggs ran up against a hornet's nest and the result is a red-hot retort from James Wynter, a belligerent recruit in the legion forces of the Universal Negro Improvement Association "Please allow me space in your noble paper," he writes to the editor of The Negro World, "to express my mind against one Cyril Brigga, who had the liberty and forwardness to send me a letter and a copy of the Crusader Magazine. What does Brigga think?" Does he think that I am one of those big Negroes like himself who are making clowns of themselves? "I am satisfied with the leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey and I hope that the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world will follow our great leader to victory or to defeat. We are satisfied to go up with it when it goes up or to go down with it when it goes down" To H.- with Brigga and his leadership. Brigga appears to me to be an OH, BLACK MAN! .

And sent your words of sympathy To comfort me and save. O black man it has been my race That striped your weary back. But for the lashes you received You sent affection back. O black man, to a cross of fire My race nailed those you love: But you have clasped me to your heart As you might nurse a dove. O black man, you have given joy— My sires gave you but two.

WOMEN AUTHOR IN NEW BOOK PAYS LASTING TRIBUTE TO NEGRO EDUCATION History of Negro in His Untiring Efforts to Educate Himself Told in Startling Book by Rev. Jay Stowell, Investigator for Methodist Church—The Negro's "Supreme Passion Was the Passion to Learn," He Says A new book on the education of the Negro has just made its appearance. It is entitled, "Methouist Adventures in Negro Education" by Rev Mr Jay B. Stowell, and published by the Methodist Book Concern. Mr Stowell has made an intensive study of the Negro problem in both the North and the South at close hand, and writes with authority on his chosen subject. Mr Stowell recently made an extended tour of inspection of the educational institutions maintained for Negroes by the Methodist church, and it is with the history of these schools and colleges that the book largely deals. There are Gammon Theological Seminary Atlanta, Flint-Goodridge Hospital and Nurse-Training School New Orleans, Meharry Medical College Nashville, Clark University Atlanta Bennett College Greensbury, N. C. Caffin College Orangeburg, B. C. George R. Smith College, Beddinga M. Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. Morristown Normal and Industrial College Tennessee, New Orleans College, Philadelphia Smith College, Little Rock Rus College, Holy Springs, James Huston College, Austin Texas Wiley College, Marshall, Texas Central Alabama Institute Birmingham, Cookean Institute Jacksonville Havens Institute, Meridian Mills Princess Anne Academy Marshfield Walden School Nashville The leading white and Negro pioneers in the founding and upbuilding of these institutions are not solitary space, their diffusions and achievements deal with attractive successes. But it is on the comments on the Negro at the various stages through which he has passed since emancipation that Mr. Stowell reaches the plane of universal interest to the Negro race. In discussing emancipation he says. The story of the adjustment of the Negro to the new situation in the less than a wonder story. Curiously enough, however, the committing parachute of attitudes was to get education. There was little or no attempt to take over the property of former masters, slight was the concern for material possessions, so long as there was a rag to cover the body, a crust of bread to eat or a shoer of any sort available, the supreme passion was the passion to learn. Our teachers are unanimous in the judgment that colored pupils learn as rapidly as white, and that they are far more enthusiastic in their studies. This is quoted from the secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society, the organization which preceded the present Board of Education for Negroes in Methodist educational work. The astounding growth of the institutions for Negroes is cited at length, and many instances of devotion and self-sacrifice on the part of its Negro students and supporters are noted. To look out upon the work which remains to be done is to face a task which is still enormous, but the remarkable progress of the past renews one a courage. A little more than half a century, ago Negro education was prohibited by law today some sort of an educational system for Negro children is supported by every State in which there are Negroes. There are multiples of public schools particularly in the rural sections, which are hardly worthy of the name of "school", but a few years ago there were no schools at all. Even a poor school marks a beginning of something that can be improved, and a very bad school may be better than no school at all. Opposition to Negro education is largely a thing of the past, and co-operation has taken its place. There are, indeed, many grounds for encouragement, not the least of which is the change which has taken place in the Negro himself. A New Negro If there is one thing more than another which stands out in the present situation in America, possibly it is that we have today a new Negro; a Negro who is very unlike the Negro of the past and whom it is very easy to misunderstand. Some deprecate the Negro of the past and whom it to the Negro's participation in the World War. Doubless the war taught the Negro many things but, war or no LEG TROUBLES STOPPED BY NEW DISCOVERY Kansas City Physiologist Makes Generous Offer to Diagnose Gases Free Any reader who suffers from awlone and painful limb causes by varicose ulcers or leg lesions may quailly and easily time through the remarkable discovery of Dr. H.

Any *tempt* to hold him back will be as decisive as an attempt to stop the rising of the sun. The stage has been set for a new act, and the forces behind it are such that, while the performers may be married by unsympathetic auditor, nothing can permanently delay the presentation. Quietly and effectively the Negro is instantiated, and he believes that he has demonstrated physically, morally and intellectually that he is entitled to that consideration. Hunger for Education And one of the characteristics of the New Negro is his hunger for an education. He understands better than the Negro did a generation ago the sacrifice and labor involved in getting an education, but he also understands its value, and he is content to pay the price. It is little short of amusing to see the patient, long continued and diligent effort which a colored boy or girl will put into the getting of and the paying for an education, and yet, although many of the pupils are extremely poor, one may go from school to school without over hearing a story of poverty unless he diligently searches it out. The students are not given to complaining, but they are determined to get an education in spite of handicaps. And the opportunities are not equal to the demand made upon them. It is not only the Methodist schools, but also others, which are crowder beyond capacity. One school reports a thousand advance applications, some are taking registrations for several years in advance, and others maintain extended waiting lists. Negro Education The important question, however, is not to determine whether the black man is intellectually inferior to or superior to the white man, but whether, as a child of the living God and a citizen of this free nation, he is to have a chance to make the most of himself. Professor W. H Crogman of Clark University spoke wisely for his own race when he said, "When you begin to educate a human being it is hard to tell what attitude he may rise. Let him feel that the earth is beaceth him, God above, and nothing in the intermediate space to check his growth or chill his aspirations, and then you may begin to teach him the alphabet. It indeed be premature to begin to teach the black man the management of the Negro. Already individuals have done almost everything that a white man has ever done, from the painting of a picture to travelling to the North Pole or dying patrolitically for their country. Time alone can tell how far the race will travel along path of culture and intellectual development. What of the Future? Bishop Robert E. Jones has recently called to our attention the pertinent fact that in the more than half a century of Methodist educational work in the South, during which members of both races and both sexes have migrated freely in the common work of the schools, there has never in all that time been a case of intermarriage between the races or a scandal involving individuals of opposite race. The Negro, too, very quickly assumed a portion of the financial burden of the schools. Buildings have been erected from money contributed by Negroes, poor colored people have, out of their poverty, contributed to the work of the schools, colored teachers have refused more alluring offers elsewhere in order to stay by their tasks, and pupils have paid both board and tuition from the very first. In fact, scholarships in the schools have been conspicuous chiefly for their absence. The story of the achievements of the schools under the auspices of the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church has never been told and never will be told. it is too extended a tale for that. its record is to be found in the nearly quarter of a million students whose lives have been directly touched by the work and in the millions of others who have in turn been touched by them. The schools have been a most important factor in making possible the present Negro constitutency of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which today consists of more than two thousand ministers and more than half of a million church members, who are the centenary of Methodist Missions attributed nearly half a million dollars to the centenary fund. The influence of the schools has, however, gone far beyond the limits of any one denomination and has permitted for good every colored church in the United States, to say nothing of the missionaries whom it has sent to Africa. 66 W. 1818 St. New York City Dear Sir: Kindly allow space in your valuable paper for this letter.

Please extend just a small space in the Negro World for my New Year compliments to our great movement. I am so glad that we are moving with such speed to a brand-new era. I myself have fought the high pressure of persecutions, and am able to say that I am yet a Garvoyte and expect to be one until God says, "Old servant, you have done enough: cohe up higher. You have fought a good fight and your work is done." I fought the Judasies and I fought the knockers and kickers until I had finished and now all is well. God Almighty has his hands in the mighty movement of the Universal Improvement Association, for it will be possible to make these persecutions that it has had. I hope you will have success this year, Happy New Year is at hand. Let's take the world now man for man and Furnish funds to redeem our home. Our fatherland, from whence we come. Yours truly.

THOMPSON, Pres. Edw. Diamond, Sec. ENACPATION DAY FITTINGLY CELEBRATED (Continued from page 8) good-for-nothing class that will not do themselves and will not allow anybody else to do, is the prejudiced class among the Negro peoples of this country. We will sit at the door of the other class, we will not sit at the first counter, themselves absolutely and entirely in order that the great race may go forward. I have absolutely no patience with the individual among our group who is so selfish and so self-conjected and so narrow that he will crucify the entire race in order that he himself may go up. We have got the idea of the higher states-management that I have read of so much as coming from the speakers of Liberty Hall. We have got the atlantic spirit which makes an individual member of this race of our realize that one cannot go up without taking his brother along, and that then one goes down. In just such a measure the entire race goes down, and thus during the year 1922, let us resolve to clear the way of the biased and the prejudiced among our own group. Clear the Way of Pessimists and Critics In the second place, in traveling the way we must be cleared of the faint-hearted, the pessimistic and the critical. It is all right to be brave. it is all right to be courageous, but we must have common sense along with it, and in taking great world affairs in order to bring about a proper result we must go forward bravely with a mighty powerful organization at our back. That is one reason why I am so much taken up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because of its power and strength, which comes to the fore throughout the world because of their belief in the organized force of 400 000 000 Negroes. And among our group there is a class of faint-hearted ones who do not believe that it is possible for the Negro to put up a brave, courageous front before the world, they are constantly cringing and crouching and bowing and begging, and when something is started to give the race an upward look and to place the men among us on a respectable footing, honoring and respecting themselves and their kind and have a kind brotherly regard for all humanity, we have a faint-hearted group among us, and we must be done. And thus through you it is assured of our urge upon you to assist in clearing the way of the faint-hearted, because he who believes that it cannot be done may mark himself down as a failure to start with. We want men of courage, men of power, men of might, men of vision, men and women of dogged determination to take charge of the affairs of our race, and I thank God that the man is already living to move the leaders, the men and the women are already born to see that it goes over. (Applause.) The way must be cleared of the pessimistic. I cannot afford to be a blinded pessimist; but the greatest drawback, perhaps, to our group since emancipation and even now, has been the pessimist among us looking on the dark side of things always, constantly grumbling and complaining and whining and crying, and yet never offering a constructive program by which the whining and crying and grumbling and complaining can be done away with. The blinded pessimist among us must be cleared away, and the race must have placed before it a new vision, and optimistic leadership that will guide us. The days of slavery were dark and dreary; the years of our suffering were many and intense; the oppositions confronting us now are numerous, the doors shutting in our faces are almost without number, but the darkest hour of the night is just before the breaking of the day, and by the united front put by the 15,000,000 of Americans and the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world we will be able to, optimistically speaking, break down the doors of opposition up open new avenues of industry, whereby the Negroes can march in as queens and princesses under themselves saying, "Make way for brotherhood; make way for man." (Applauso.) Critics Must Go In the next place the way must be cleared in 1923 for the critics—I mean the knocking critics. Some criticism is constructive criticism that enables an individual or an organization to profit by such criticism; but I mean, the way must be cleared of the knocking, back-biting critics that find no good in anything unless it was formed and fashioned by themselves, and they never had brains enough to fashion anything and therefore they find fault with everything. I would sometimes in the papers things that actually disgust 2077 Seventh Ave. New York City FORMULA1. Contact worka forquiries for any manufacturing purpose.

Special Composition to Agents me—people sometimes pretending to talk about the new Negro and the new Negro movement, pretending to be in favor of the race throwing off its thirldon, of uniting its forces materially, physically and spiritually everywhere, and yet constantly in their writings making an apology, because of the fact that they have Negro blood in their veins. I have absolutely no apology to make for being identified with the Negro movement, and I feel it to face with the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Aphtake.) The way must be cleared of the critics in 1922 because there are some people in our group who actually do not know the genuine from the false. There are numbers of people in our group who have been abused and missed so long until the slightest idea of discouragement will make them give up hope. We ought to be optimistic unto the end. We want to hope and to think and to work and to pray, and, if necessary to fight for the best thing in this world, in other people have done for themselves. Those who would be the arder of our aspiration or behind our ideas ought to be congratulated to the regions where a snowball would have no chance whatever (Applause). The Way Must Be Cleared by Ourselfs participate in just one day, because this alongside the other actions of the world. I saw him struggling—and a number of our achievements and our processes have been made through struggles and these sacrifices. I saw him in Jamaica in 1819 tamed as a slave. I saw him made humble and excellent filling the soil and make it bloom and look like a rose for his taskmaster. I saw him on Boston Commons represented by Crispus Atticus rushing forward to make America free from English rule, and the first blood splashed that Old Glory may wave to the breeze. I saw him in 1819 fighting to perpetuate the victories won. I saw him in 1845 pushing the Mexicans back beyond the Rio Grande. I saw him in 1845, Vargner, at his height, at Richebury—and my father was among the number—fighting that the Stars and Stripes. As never be polluted and that not a single one shall be erased. I heard them singing upon the ramparts at San Juan Hill, crying out as they went forward "There will be a hot time in the old town tonight." I saw them come back crying to Roeville, crying to Mokkilyn and to the ground's leaders of this great country. "The old flag never touched the ground!" Fighting partially for his own glory and for the glory of all men, I saw him in the war of 1814 to 1818 the march of 400,000 strong, beating back the hordes of savage Germans in France and Flanders, and heard him cry out when the Kaiser threw up his hands. "Not a single traitor was found among the men of the plause." I saw him come back to his own country, and yet with hearts unabashed and aspirations undamaged. I saw him pull of his uniform, get busy, where it was possible to engage in the march of industry, and I heard him cry out 400,000,000 strong: "From now on we respect all the flags of all the nations, and especially the Red, White and Blue, but we shall work for the perpetuation of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause.) I see him now coming from the institutions of learning, coming up from the States of the Union, coming up through organization, coming up from the Islands, coming up from Central Africa, coming up from all parts of the world, saying to himself and to his comrades. "We shall toil, we shall struggle, we shall pray, if necessary we shall fight and die for the larger freedom, the liberty of the strugglers of the world." I saw him in the future crying out to all the world. I see him in the future, a complete master of himself, master of the situation at home and abroad because of his achievement. I see him going out into the largest sphere of world recognition backed up by the 18,000,000 in America, the millions in the islands and the millions of the world, paying to all mankind "Make way for birth; school; make way for man." There is the larger brotherhood among the nations of the world when the war-damn shall beat no longer and the battleships shall be buried in the past. In the federation of the world, God empath- and let us work to that end—that our universal flag may be guttled there, the flag of the Red, the Blue and the Green—with the world sate for democracy, including black democracy as well as white and brown.

Creese, High Commander for Canada, by Milleton Division of U. N. I. A.—"It Is Better Than Rubies and Diamonds." Writes Correspondent, Referring to Speech By J. G. GORDON General Secretary Long since the announcement appeared in The Negro World of the appointment of Hon. Geo. D. Greese Commissioner for Canada, we have been anxiously waiting for his official visit to our division. We knew that anyone appointed to such a position must have made an impression on His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey by his executive ability and his daring spirit to lead the Negro in the Dominion of Canada. The day came when Millon was to be honored by his official visit. When the news of his arrival came the people did as Zachariah of old—they went on the hilltops and every place convenient in order to get a glimpse of him. A MESSAGE FROM SANTO DOMINGO Fellowmen of the Negro Race On behalf of the Negroes of Dominica I send you greetings. It is a regrettable fact that many Negroes throughout the world are not working in earnest for a free Africa and the upliftment of the race. By the time you read this the year 1921 will be no more. Before you should pass At 7:50 p. m. we met at the local schoolhouse, where we found a large crowd and anxiously waiting to hear Hon Creese deliver the message from our beloved leader. After some preliminary remarks by the secretary the national anthem was sung, led by the Hon. Commissioner. Then President Eafley introduced the speaker amidst trundundous applause. For two hours the Commissioner held us spellbound. He spoke till the "throne of Philip trembled," and was often interrupted by continuous cheers. Among the many thrilling things, he impressed upon us the particular aims and objects of the U. N. L. A., which were received with vociferous applause. The people were so pleased with his address the first night that displease the terrible blizzard and frost they drove the distance of twenty miles in open wagons to hear and receive the gospel of Garvagism. Never in the history of Millstone have so many people turned out as they did during these two nights. He seemed to be the center of attraction, because at 2 a.m. the spirit of enthusiasm still held the people within the hall. The benefit we have gained from his visit cannot be valued in gold. It is better than rubies and diamonds. In spite of the fact that the price of our produce fell below par. w. rallied to the standard and subscribed to the African Redemption Fund and shares in the Black Star Line. The people of Millstone are not led astray by insidious enemy propaganda, but they are determined to stake their all for the cause which they know is just. We can safely say that His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey made no mistake by appointing the Hon. Mr. Cresso to supervise the work of the U. N. L. A. in Canada. Long may be live to preach the gospel of Garveyism throughout Canada and convert our obstatate brothers wherever found. Milton is satisfied that under the supervision of our Commissioners, Hon. Glen, D. Greene, we will continue to strive onward, upward and forward. And when the tri-colors of the Red, Black and Green are planted on the hilltops of a free and redeemed Africa, and when the roll is called over yonder, will be there. Montego Bay, Dec. 20, 1811. Commissioner O'Meally paid a visit to Montego Bay to look into the affairs of that division. Owing to lack of interest and cowardice on the part of some of the officers, the branch was allowed to dwindle from an active membership of in-try 200 to 20. The division had no regular tabulated ledger and no supplies. However, immediately it. O'Meally became aware of the state of affairs, he telegraphed to Kingston the supplies which were promptly sent by the executive secretary, Mr. James Hybes. The Commissioner then asked the President to get on many ladies as he could, in order that he might form a ladder division. Several ladies responded to the invitation, and Mr. O'Meally addressed them on the objects and need for the ladder division, and the importance of the support of the women in our race to our cause.

It is a regrettable fact that many Negroes throughout the world are not working in earnest for a free Africa and the upliftment of the race. By the time you read this the year 1921 will be no more. Before you should pass away from this world it is your duty to do all that is in your power to help our struggling, down trodden race. Remember that you shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore that you can do or any kindness you can show to any member of the race, do it now. Defer not nor neglect it, for you shall not pass this way again. The wide-awake must give the sleeping one a strong pull that they might wake up from their unfortunate slumber Those of you who continually "knock" Mr Garvey, his followers and his works are harming yourselves. It's time for you to get sense. If you cook with the "eye of common sense" you will find out that it is better for us all—"white" Negroes, "brown" Negroes, "yellow" Negroes, "black" Negroes, Negroes of whatever color everywhere—to unite together and instead, of knocking against Negroes we should as an organised whole knock against somebody else. Fellowmen, we are keeping back ourselves simply with words which we should forget: "It can't be done," "Negroes know nothing," and all such rot. Who first enjoyed civilization? To what race does the richest continent belong? Who first crossed the Atlantic? Who was Euclid? Who was Hermes? Who first made needles in England? What country in Africa has never been controlled by whites and whose people have always inflicted severe punishment on the armies of England, France and Italy? Can the white man do with it the Negro? What on earth, if the Negro is given a chance, cannot he do, provided that such thing can be done by man? The trouble with many Negroes is that they have eyes, yet cannot see, care, yet cannot hear, brains, yet cannot think. Such Negroes can do very little. Let us not give up hope in our fight for freedom. We have examples of the past by which we can act. One of the latest examples we have is the case of Ireland, whose people have been struggling for centuries. We have not struggled for even a quarter of a century, yet there are some who say it's impossible. We must not expect it to be a light task. Many of our foreparents during the days of slavery fought hard for freedom and died without enjoying even the partial freedom that we enjoy today. What we enjoy today is the result of their struggles. What about your children—the coming generation, the future navigator, lawyers, doctors, professors, etc? Who knows whether his son small not one day be President or King somewhere in Africa or admiral of an African navy? Must we not open the way for the future men and women? The' the road be dreary and long Keep a-plugging away. For the hours shall surely come When we will gladly sing: "Rajacia, rajacia, victory is won. Africa is free! Rajacia, the foe is conquered Through the might of the Red, the Black and the Green." In conclusion, fellowmen, let me beech you to work in earnest for the unification of our race and the redemption of our motherland, Africa. All that is required is organization, and through unity it will not be any hard task to bring about the aims and objects of the greatest Negro movement for the Negro and by the Negro—the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us resolve to put our race and country (Africa) higher up the ladder of progress in the year 1822. Wait not a moment longer. The time for action is now. Therefore begin now. Go forward, fearing God and ill alone. With very best wishes for a bright and prosperous future, I am, fellowman. Toms for one God, one aim, one destiny. S. R. RALTH CAMMIR, President U. N. K. A.

A number of my people are in my shape, has a good gun but it is rusty and not fit for use. The minor details of civilization are wanting. They are willing most yes all of them, but on account of ignorance they are weak. The most of them are too weak to understand the general commands. They hear the words but the words arereek to them. The understanding of the words would clean their guns and would be the price of all the ammunition and race pride needed.

Technical Sergeant, Ordnance Department, United States Army, Fort Huachuca, (Huachuca). Arizona. On Friday, December 23, the Kingston Division, of the I' N I A, was stirred to the height of Race Consciousness at a mass meeting held at the Liberty Hall, of Kingston. The meeting was opened in the usual manner when the members of the Black Cross requested to be given a few minutes to show their appreciation to Miss Eva Aldred, head of the Black Cross Society. A very soul-stirring address was read in which the sentiment of the nurses was endorsed for the untiring effort of Miss Aldred in holding the Black Nurses together and eventually bringing off a successful examination. In reply, Miss Aldred stated that while she appreciated the effort of the Nurses, she felt that she had only started her work. Dr. Radway, of Cuba, who paid the division a visit was next called upon to speak and after explaining the objects of the U. N. I A in a very masterly address was greeted with a warm applause. At this stage the Ethiopian National Anthem was sung, lending extra spirit to the meeting. Dr Radway said that he had come to stay, and with him the U N I A He pointed out the hardships that Jamaicans were suffering in Cuba, and pledged himself to continue the fight along with the U N I A until there was a decided change in the attitude of members of other races toward the Negro. The U N I A. welcomes Dr Radway in Jamaica and hopes he will not be weary in the work he is undertaking HON. GEO. TAIT ORGANIZES STRONG DIVISION IN MADISONVILLE. KY Mr. Editor--Kindly allow me a space in your valuable paper so that our brothers far and near may know that the great chain is strengthened by Hon. George Talt. As an oppressed race we heard of this great movement that is shaking the world, but we had the wrong idea. We thought that the movement was for the sole purpose of transporting all Negroes back to Africa, but at the end of November Hon. George Talt came to our city and visited Rev. Day, who is a 100 per cent race man, and he gave his chapel to Hon. Talt for a mass meeting. The gentleman then was seen busily distributing handbills announcing his meeting. The night brought a crowd to hear of Marcus Garvey Hon. Tall appeared in his robe, with the colors of red, black and green. He then broke the spell and explained the 'ms of the U. N. I. A., and all went away satisfied to return for a real drive for membership. On Sunday at 8 p. m. all roads led to Rev. Days chapel. The chapel was packed. Mr. Tall sent invitations to all ministers, deacons, friendly societies and lodges to hear the U. N. I. A. aims and objects. Many came to criticize. At 2:18 p. m. Hon. Tall appeared on the platform in his robe. All eyes were centered on him. The choir sang a selection. On the platform were Prof. Tafton, Rev. Day, Prof. Timbakek, summarized at public halls. Hime Rhoda, a race woman, told of good work done by Hon. Tall in Nashville and gave a good history of the U. N. I. A. in New York, Chicago and other places. Mrs. Francis Hirk spoke to her women in an able manuset. The Hon. George Tall was introduced by Rev. Day. Hon. Tait arose amidst cheers and read the preamble from the constitution, showing that government is built on constitutiona. He outlined the movement so plainly that he kept the audience spellbound for an hour and twenty-five minutes. We have had white men to lecture, we have had Roscoe Simmona, but Hon. Tait is the man among men. The knockers became members. The cowards with wibbons became brave man with backbones. Hon. Tait is a fearless speaker. We cannot publish his address, space will not allow but praise God, what we never had in Madisonville we have now through the hard work of Hon. Tait. He is also getting the ministers converted to the U N L A. The honorable gentleman is very busy in the city from church to church. He has also visited several cities nearby and in a short time he will have many divisions set up. He knows how to make sacrifices. What we know about the U N L A we thank him for. Mon and women are now falling in line. We feel proud of the gentleman in our city. He opened the eyes of the big Negroes and is teaching the small ones what they ought to know. He showed the reason why Negroes should get together, spoke of the Black Star Line. Negro factories now operating in New York. If said the time has come for Negroes to get into the commercial world and build up their own race. The book of the Black Star Line stock was presented to the audience. He spoke of the great international Convention that took place in New York. At the end of the address those who came to criticize were among the first to enroll. Announcement for election sent the crowd away satisfied to appear on Wednesday night for election. The election took place Wednesday night. A crowd was there to witness this great election. Following were elected officers President, Mr Andrew Turner first vice-president, C L Tim berlake, executive secretary W E Diggs, general secretary, Mra Ula Conoby, treasurer Mr Charles Crisis, chaplain, Rev A J Day The meeting closed to reconvene on Sunday, when all officers will be installed by Hon George Tait. In a few weeks time our Black Cross Nurses will be organized We are in for victory REASONS FOR BEING A U. N. I. A. BOOSTER By EVAN A. M.CALLISTER Because it (the U N I A) invokes the aid of the Supreme Being because it has issued a declaration of rights to the powers and nations of the world, working intelligently, it has become a government in embryo. Because working on its own initiative and program it is putting that program over, because it is an all-Negro institution, because it has representatives the world over, and because it has officers whom are elected by a Negro congress. It expresses my deepest yearnings because it is building and does not seek to destroy, because in its employ are more Negroes than any other Negro organization that I know, because its cause is just and righteous, because it seeks only that which belongs to it, speaking from a Divine point of view, because it is using to redeem Africa every force known to mankind.

A RINGING MESSAGE FROM PUERTO PADRE, ORIENTE CUBA December 20, 1921. Editor Negro World Dear Sir, Please allow me, through your most valued Negro Journal, to express to the critics and followers of this, our noble movement, the opinion of the Puerto Padre Branch No. 168. We have read from time to time, the praises and criticisms of levers and enemies of the U.N.I.A and A.C.L. and our to-be-honored Hon. Marcuss Garvey whom every Negro should respect. In all our lives as Negroes, this side, we have never heard of any organizations to do any real good for Negroes, and I believe few Negroes ever, before the U. N. I. A came on the scene, nor have we ever noticed anything that was ever done by these so-called Negro organizations to advance our race, therefore let me ask these scaled leaders this question. If you are for the advancement of our race and not aiming at self-advancement 'why on earth do you try to crush someone who came on the scene to give a helping hand?' Answer this, or you are only a barrier in the way of our progress. We are proud of the U. N. I. A. (1). Because all are Negroes, leading Negroes to a higher sphere.

O'MEALLY PLANS BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE IN KINGSTON Commissioner O'Meally is determined to open the new year with a big drive for membership in the city of Kingston and its suburbs. A mass meeting will be held on the steps of the Coke Chapel, where he will be able to reach a certain class. Other meetings will also be held in different parts of the city. We understand that two chapters are to be opened—one in Smith's village, the other in Franklin. A house-to-house canvas is also on the cards. Several of the members who have the time and the ability will be pressed into service. Apart from visiting divisions and canvassing shares our Commissioner has been doing good work help Negroes who may require assistance of any sort. The first case which our Commissioner had to tackle was the case of two African young men who were stranded in Jamaica and who wanted to return to their native land. The Commissioner took up their case. and as result, they have been sent to England as intransit passengers to West Africa. The Telia Division, British Honduras, sent home a destitute native of this island, who is also suffering from slight mental disorders. She has been handed over to the Inspector of Poor, and the Commissioner will instruct the Black Cross Nurses to visit her from time to time. Our Commissioner is not now enjoying the best of health. We trust, however, that he will soon be well again and on the job. Jamaica is one of the hardest fields, and only a native commissioner who understands the country, the customs and the people, can ever hope to build up, however slowly, strong divisions of the U N I A THE U.

Bossard was stopped by the police, and he retorted that he would not lower it unless over his dead body! The officer then telephoned the Chief of Police, who, parcelled, in turn telephoned the Mayor, who ordered the police to permit the Negroes to carry the Red, the Black and the Green through the streets of Charleston, B.

The meeting was called to order at 7 30 p. m. by the vice-president, Mr H. Mack, by singing the opening ode, followed with prayer by the chaplain, Mr J. H. Paisley. There were several addresses given by different speakers which were well appreciated by all that were present. It gave to the members fresh courage and zeal to go forward. Mr J. L. Barnes, our young president, gave us a splendid address, explaining the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A., and announced that the following week the purpose of the meeting was for the purpose of gaining new members. A solo was sung whilst the collection was taken up, then the meeting was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem. Mr. J. L. Barnes is to be admired for his love and zeal for the U. N. L. A. in that he took his own money and furnished a Liberty Hall, and, besides that, he had a great deal of difficulty in getting a permit from the government to organize this branch will. We hope this branch will be a huge success R. E. DILLION, Asst. Secretary, J. L. BARNES, President. COMMISSIONER WEST TOURS BOCAS DEL TORO The Hon. and Rev E. C.

At 7.30 p.m. a meeting was staged. There was a very large and representative gathering when a right-loyal welcome was extended to the Commissioner. The speech of the evening was made by Commissioner West and, as a result, the audience was very much impressed thereby, and some new members were added to the roll. Leaving Guabito on the 5th instant, Dr. West visited some of the branches of the Division, viz. Libubl, Elena, Dano Cance, Farm 5, and Farm 3 (Changquels). At all these places the Commissioner received a very warm welcome. Although there is much to be done by him, yet we bespeak for Commissioner West a very pleasant stay in the province. He has promised to visit the various divisions and branches as often as possible. It is ardently hoped that in our next report, an appreciable increase of membership in the division may be given consequent upon the increasing impetus the Commissioner's presence is expected to give.

He said: "At Washington, after wonderful oratory in the plenary sessions, the commissions got to work and then a terrible impulses revealed itself. The speeches were excellent, but the results were nil. "Our friends at Washington and London unhappily seem to forget the rapid reawakening of the detestable German instincts. Illusions, myths and the fumes of vague idealism still obscure the realities which before long will become dangerous. "Once again the disposition of American commanders interests. We were not forced by being associated with the Pacific agreement, and then were told by the American government that the Pacific entitle did not constitute the obligation of armed interference in the case of conflict. "Then we were forced into concessions on the naval program.

N.Y.: Deanna THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 HONTREAL NOTES By CHARLES H. ESTE It is New Year's morning and I have just returned from Guy Hall, the center of local Negro thought. Well, the Old Year is gone. I am glad; it is a relief. To the local branch 1831 has been a banner year. Many have been our struggles, but we kept the seach aflaane. President Potter has been instrumental in taking the branch out of debt, and that means a great deal. Mrs T. O'Brien, our faithful lady president, has given abundant proof of her capability as a leader. Earnest, persevering and devoted, she has played the part of a heroine. In rain, snow or hail, in sunshine and storm, she has rallied to the defense of the association. May she continue sciona. Mrs James Gibson, together with her husband, so well known to the readers of The Negro World, are always on the scene, helping, hoping, choering, and can I forget Mr J Reeves, our ardent secretary, whose energy is always strong and whose purpose is always firm as the rock? Among other active members are Messra. Eustance Reid, J. Kendall Leon Deschidls and Charles Diala, a number of ladies always serving at the counter and the Lyric Orchestra directed by Mr Ivan Davia. I do not think that a better spirit could be disdained. The people of McDonald are a wonderful people, generous and kind. There are many who are regardless of the U N L A. fortunately some do not know why, but on the whole there is no real opposition. The trouble lies mainly in the economic stress, work is scarce and the dollar is inaccessible. Personality. I owe the people here a lifetime of gratitude for warm sympathy enriched in my behalf. Like an amateur, I am not a professional defender when "these came upon me to eat up my flesh". I think also of Sir William H Ferrita, who has helped me in a paternal way. ho is the sunshine to our budding poets. I think of Marcus Garvey, and I feel with him also. How heavy is his burden? How long and perilous his journey. May 1922 bring him increased optimism—and those faithful he has that he has the courage to face duty in the character of heroes and heroes. U. N. I. A. Literary Club Guy Hall is crowded with members and friends of the U N I A. Literary Club, where a grand social is being held. Everybody is having a lively time. There is music along with thrills, and the "light fantastic toes" trip gracefully along. I am sorry that I cannot join the assemblage—such is the pleasure of a theology hope the day will come when the Negro ministry will ferret out facts instead of comparing values. Hurrah for Mr James Gibson and his able executives' Dunbar Literary Club Plans are under way for a galn night on the 13th inst., when the Dunbar Lit., in celebrating its annual festivity, will entertain the Gamma Leagues, attending McClill.

Editor Negro World. 88 West 135th St. New York: Dear Sir:—Please allow me a space in your valuable paper just to give a brief expression on Garveyism and its effects on the Negro in and around Cape Town. Garveyism is a new doctrine, a doctrine with such far-reaching effects that it has revealed to the black race that there are good hopes for them as a race, and that there is a life for them that is really worth living. It has stirred up consciousness within the race, and it has demonstrated the value of organization Garveyism has taught the Negro that God Almighty created him a free man and that it wasn't God's intention that he should be a serf and slave all his life. It has taught the Negro to begin carving out his own destiny in the quarry of this great world. Garveyism has indeed caused a revolution within every right-thinking Negro and has unvoiled to those those sterling qualities with which men are endowed Garveyism is hope and new life to the Negro. If Garveyism fails then the Negro is doomed forever. Previous to this now doctrine, we lived without hopes or prospects of ever becoming a free and independent race, and the future to the Negro then was unknown, and the injustices which we suffer from an alien race, makes one think that to be a black man or woman is worse than being a beast, but at last something has been a result, something full of expectation, something that will protect the Negro from barbarous practice inflicted upon him because of his race and color, something that will make the Negro politically free, something that stands for the complete freedom of Negroes the world over, something relating to the brasen serpent which was put up by Mosca in the wilderness to those, although bitten by the serpents below. If looked up will live, something which is putting white South Africa in a state of terror something which stands for a free and redeemed Africa, and that something is nothing but Garveyism. Long may he live, the founder of this the greatest organization of its kind that the world has ever seen. Thanking you for publication of sama. PETER O. DANTELS. Cape Town Division. N. I. A. I. ox-C.

Our president after speaking at length on the aims and objects of the N. U. N. A. read of the various loans and funds that demand all the Negroes' attention. At the present time he also cologizes the fact in no mean way of the aspirations of our noble leader, and prayed for his continued long life. The first male vice-president, Mr Levi A. Green, then harangued his heart as length on the word, "Organize" as he forbly asked his organization. He forbly asked his organization. "Are We organized?" If not then let us settle down at once, get organized and move on the right path as the Hon. Marcus Garvey is pleading for among the 400,000,000 of the world." It was edifying, full of zeal and, indeed, helpful to the division. Mr J E Ellis also gave an inspiring address on "We Are Marching On." 42 West 142nd Street MR. J.

And if you follow on its orb Will lead you to your native shore It is a star that Herod's hands Can never pluck out from the sky. And to the mother of the slave God whispera. "Take thy child and fly." O flee from danger. Herod seeks To play the infant captive child, Flee from the land where he was born And bid him in the Afrio wild. The slave has risen, as Jesus did. To set four hundred millions free. Ring out, ye Christmas chimes, and The news to captives o'r the sea. O dusky captives, Herod's sword Has slain the first-born of the land. But God will save the slave his love Kept in the hollow of His hand. For he hath been a wanderer. Like Jesus was by Gallice. But Christmas brings the captive hope That soon his race shall be set free. The Star of Bothelemia is velled And angel choirs have ceased to sing Because the Aryan man has clipped The peace dove and it droops its wing. So dusky hands must tear away The clouds that veil its shining star Till every eye may see its light And mystics come from near and far Shine on, O star of Bothelemia Light up the red, the black, the grey. Send down thy purest radiance To flood the realm of Southern Queen. Where chain has never bound the hand. Next Christmas day may many slaves Behold the Star of Bothelemia Light native homes beyond the waves Where snowflakes never fall to chill The captive's hand. Next Christmas day May Jesus come to those who weep. For He will pass by Ephraim's way. A Christmas there in Africa. Where Solomon dwelled sheba fair.

JOHN ENFORD ICE IVERSAL AUNDRY All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been taken from the Secretary-General by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an office, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own minister or other purposes. NEW YEAR THOUGHTS I affore me the greatest pleasure on this ampleous occasion to say a few words of inspiring hopes to each and everyone for the near approaching year 1922. Being an optimist as I am, it has always been, still is, and ever shall be, my sincere belief that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will ultimately be the only light-bouse whose rays of light shall lighten the pathway of Negro progress, socially, religiously, economically, commercially, industrially, mentaly, and financially. I believe in its mammoth program—I believe in "Africa for the Africans"—I believe in its noble "aims and objects"—I believe in its leader, the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, that there should be but one large Negro organization under whose wings the 400,000,000 Negroes now scattered throughout the world should gather themselves and be sheltered from the raging storm of racial prejudice, disfranchisement, Jim Crow, and the other that is overshadowing the Negro inhabitants of the world. I do not believe in different groups of Negro organizations, because each group will surely have its group prejudice against the other group, and thus keep us farther apart than bringing us together. To substantiate the above, I shall recall your memory to the various groups of religious denominations, of which there are more of them in the world today than there are days in the year, that preach from the self-same Bible, yet no two of these religious denominations agree except on the one point of argument, that the one claims that "the other fellow does not know what he is saying, and his doctrine is false, thus we find that the Baptists are the most faithful of prejudice against the Methodist, the Methodists against the Episcopalians; the Episcopalians against the Seventh Day Adventists; the Adventists against all of them, and so on, though they may all belong to the same race. As it is with the various groups of religious denominations, so it is with the various groups of secular organizations, all pulling against each other. One of the principal objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to bring together all of these religious denominations and secular organizations of Negro membership into one homogeneous whole and practice the art of pulling together. The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not ask you to leave your religious beliefs behind, but, rather, to bring them along with you to form part of the great indestructible wall—"One God, One Alm, One Destiny." Negro fellowmen, we have done well during the p. part three and a half years, but all that we have done to the present day causes us to discern and misunderstand. To my mind our past three and a half years' experience only marks the beginning of the beginning. Therefore let us all with one accord swake from the number of credulity; let us put on our overallia of self-determination and with the aid of perseverance in our hand, let us begin to cut and remove the huge trees of grunt, punishment, sincerity, disloyalty, insensitivity, moral degradation, economic and industrial peacage, Jim Crowism, social and political distanchishment, that gave the across the pathway of our purposes that lead to the city of success so that we may in the very future finish firmly on the other race of the world.

La Opresión Humana Continuua Adelante—La Humanidad Debe Gozar De La Felicidad Que Le Pertenece—El Negro Del Presente No Teme A La Muerte—Nucstro Presidente Apela A La Raza En El Nuevo Año El año de 1921 ha desaparecido en el confin de edades innumerables. Confiamos en que con él se han ido las malevolencias y debilidades de hombres, razas y naciones, los cuales se han beneficiado siempre a espensas de los inocentes. Fijemos nuestras esperanzas en este año de 1922 por parte de la humanidad oprimida, principalmente por la realización del gran ideal que persiguen los cuatro dentos millones de Negros del mundo. Con gran resignación hemos sufrido por largo tiempo, y especialmente en el año que acaba de expirar. Los directores de las razas predominates del mundo durante ese año han defraudado al Negro de sus derechos humanos en todas partes. Sus planes para subjugar la raza en Norte y Sur América y en las Antillas han sido ejecutados secretamente, pero sus planes para la distribución y explotación del Africa han sido ejecutados públicamente. Nosotros los que tenemos el presentimiento del futuro recordamos con sorpresa la conducta observada en el año 1921, por los que suelen llamarse estadistas, preganando su intención de trabajar por la paz universal. Es nuestra opinión de que sus esfuerzos para traer paz entre las razas y naciones del mundo son todos falsos, pues en 1921 tuvieron la gran oportunidad de un reajuste universal, por medio del cual la humanidad se hubiera sentido mas feliz y la paz hubiera sido establecida en el universo; pero nada en concreto realizaron. Solamente hombres de buena voluntad, no los tal llamados estadistas, hubieran hecho buen uso de su espiritu de humanidad, pues una sola información de descontento bastaría para que ellos hubieran delineado un plan que resolviera el problema de los millones oprimidos en la India, en el Egipto, en Irlanda y en el Africa. Una consideración propia del sentimiento de esos pueblos y una preciación de sus aspiraciones, hubiera traido el reajuste que les hubiera hecho pueblos libres é independientes, a la vez que felicidad, amor y paz a mas de ciento viento y cinco millones de hijos de Dios. Hasta que los grandes directores del mundo no realicen que la opresión humana adelanta en vez de cesar, que el deseo de libertad por parte de todos los pueblos es determinado, que es justo y humano de que todos los pueblos se gobiernen a si mismos irrespectivo de sus condiciones y estado de civilización; hasta que los tal privilegiados gobernantes no se den cuenta del gran principio humano de que el Altfisimo ha creado a todos los hombres iguales, nunca tendremos paz, nunca tendremos harmonia a la cual tanto anhelamos. Si Europa espera progresar subyugando y explotando el Asia, comete un gran error. Si ella cree que puede continuar subyugando y explantando el Africa, se equivoca de nuevo. Los hombres del presente, ya sean negros, blancos o amarillos no están dispuestos a aceptar AMOS bajo ninguna circunstancia; no están dispuestos a rendir la libertad que como seres humanos les ha concedido la madre Naturaleza. Si una parte de esta gran familia humana cree que puede constantemente intervenir en los derechos de otra, el resultado final será un resultado funesto. Los Negros del mundo estamos determinados a guiar nuestro propio destino; a no permitir que otra raza alguna nos reduzca a esclavitud, pues estamos dispuestos a morir hombres libres que a vivir siendo esclavos. Estamos determinados a que en el Africa se opere un cambio en en condición actual, por el de una libertad nacional; de que nuestra tierra madre se vea libre de molestias ocasionadas por la intromisión de inoportunos, ya sean estos europeos, asiáticos o lo que fueren. En una época el hombre preferia vivir esclavo antes de llegar hasta el sacrificio por ganar y hacer respetar sus derechos como hombre. El Negro del presente no solamente demanda sus derechos como parte integrante de la humanidad, sino que se dispone a obtener tales derechos de cualquier modo. El Negro del presente no teme a la destrucción ni a la muerte, toda vez que estas dificultades dimanen del resultado por demanda de lo que a todo ser humano pertenente. La generación presente de nuestra raza esta dispuesta a sufrir toda clase de consecuencias en la lucha por un niño modus vivendus, demostrando de este modo a la humanidad en general nuestra determinación de ser una raza de hombres libres. Es inutil de que cualquier estudista o cualquier diplomático abrigue en su mente 6 en su corazon la idea de que pódrá explotar al Negro por 6 para beneficio de su propia raza, como lo ha venido haciendo por espacio de quinientos años. El Negro del presente realiza que la vida, la felicidad humana y la libertad humana son asuntos muy serios, y que para poder disfrutar de los beneficios de estos dos distintos privilegios, hay que arriesgar la existencia del primero; que cuatro clentos millones de Negros decididos se preparan para redimir, de las garras de los intrusos sin conciencia, a una patria, la cual han explotado sin misericordia. Esta es la poca en que los hombres y las naciones con sus resoluciones; todos por su propio beneficio y beneficio de su nación. También a nosotros corresidía hacer la resolución de no occupar un segundo puesto en mundo, sino que todos, unidos por un solo ideal nos da marchar hacia la realización de nuestro gran destino y en toda significación. Abrigamos la esperanza de que los elementos incréduidos nuestro raza so hayan descartados de esa manera miren nuestar, con el arribo del nuevo alfo; que aquéno he creído imposible la brilho de los elementos de nuestro y que han presentado el que nada podemos. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922 realizar, hayan, en la aureola de 1922, fortalecido su espíritu con una esperanza mas alagadora. Nuestra nueva resolución, así como la resolución de los cuatro y medio millones de miembros que constituyen nuestra Organización en de ser la de mirar hacia adelante con mayor esperanza en el futuro, comprometiéndonos a utilizar todas nuestras energías y disponer de todas nuestras abilities para traer hacia nosotros por lo menos veinte millones mas durante este nuevo año de 1922, hombres, mujeres y niños que nos ayuden en esta campaña universal por la emancipación de una raza y la redención de un Africa independiente. LA INDEPENDEN LAS FILIPINAS SOB La oposición del senado del sobre el Pacífico que ciertos miembros reservistas mod sobre la Liga d Nuestro mundo en el lapso de tiempo de cien años será completamente distinto de lo que actualmente es, y nosotros como raza tenemos que prepararnos para poder disfrutar de los grandes beneficios que dicho cambio nos proporcione. Es posible de que la actual generación no llegue a gozarlos, pero es nuestro deber preparar el camino para la generación venidera. Durante este lapso de tiempo hemos de tener nuestro propio país, nuestra propia república, la cual ha de figurar entre las primeras repúblicas del universo, quizás la mas humana de todas las republicas existentes, pues hemos de practicar justicia, igualdad, amor, caridad y misericordia a este mundo de seres sin corazón y sin conciencia. ¿Cuál será el futuro de este nuestro mundo actual gobierno y dirigido por los estadistas del presente? Ruina y mas ruina. Hemos de permitir la ruina del universo? Naturalmente que no; hemos de levantarnos con el mayor entendimiento de amor humano y decir al resto de la humanidad que se haga justicia, que haya paz, que prevalezca al amor universal. No hemos de depender de la Gran Bretaña, de Francia, de Italia ni de America, porque en ellas no ha existido ni existe tal disposición. En America tenemos el espiritu de violencia y de linchamiento; la práctica de quemar vivos a los elementos de nuestra raza, porque esta es aún una raza débil. En los dominios de Italia, Francia y Gran Bretaña tenemos esclavitud practicada sobre una raza, porque esta es también una raza débil. De que modo podemos obtener buen tratamiento de parte de estos pueblos que actualmente gobiernan a sus semejantes de esa manera? Si Dios es Dios, y él es el Dios del amor y de la justicia, cómo podrá permitir por siempre que estos hombres dirijan los destinos de la humanidad? Estas condiciones actuales han de desaparecer, y aquellos que se crean con tal poder que puedan hasta retar la influencia divina, han de caer; y caerán como cayó Lucifer, para no levantar jamás. La Celebración Del Aniversario De Nuestra Emancipación En Liberty Hall Resultó Una Fiesta Brillantisima Presidida Por Nuestro Honorable Presidente, Marcus Garvey. Un Telegrama Es Enviado Al Congreso Protestando En Contra Del Linchamiento El Liberty Hall de esta ciudad fue escena de una gran demostración de enthusiasmos con motivo del programa especial de música y literatura llevado a cabo en la noche del 2 de Enero de 1922 por miembros de nuestra organizacion, en celebración del aniversario de nuestra amencipación, por medio de la cual el Negro Americano fue libertado de las cadenas de esclavitud, hace cincuenta y siete años. Nuestro presidente, el Honorable Marcus Garvey, deseses de dar principio a su discourse, levo el siguiente telegrama para ser dirigido al Congreso, el cual fue unanimemente aprobado. "Honorables Mienbros del Congreso de los Estados Unidos de América, Washington, D. C Honorables señores: Nosotros, representantes de los quince millones de Negros de los Estados Unidos de America, felicitamos a ustedes con el espiritu del buen deseo en este nuevo año de 1922. Hoy estamos celebrando el universario de nuestra emancipación en este país, y ha venido a nuestras mentes el que existe una oposición organizada con el objeto de evitar la aprobación de la ley Dyer en contra del linchamiento. Esa ley constituye en si un esfuerzo honesto, el cual pone fin a la práctica inhumana del linchamiento, ejecutada por masas inconcientes sobre la raza negra, especialmente en los estados del sur. El autor de dicha ley con una fé patriótica en su legislación, desea salvar a la civilización y a la humanidad de crimenes y venganzas que una razas practican en contra de otras. Roma, en sus días de imperio, practica ciertas barbaridades sobre los antiguos Bretones, los anglosajones y los anglo-americanos del presente, y esos mismos pueblos que sufrieron en el pasado, practican en el presente las mismas arribaridades con la raza africana aqui y en el extranjero, demostrándose de este modo que la humanidad ejecuta crimenes de venganza de una en el otra época, de acuerdo con el crecimiento y desarrollo de la raza antes injuriada. La ley Dyer peraigue, en esta edad de progreso, la exterminación de los espiritus malignos, para que nuestras generaciones futuras no experimenten la consumación de tales crímenes. Honorables señores, nos corresponde el informar a ustedes que el Africa se levanta; que el Negro no abriga ni alienta venganza de ninguna especie, porque el ama la humanidad. Pero el Negro siendo un ses hijuato, kleinto y padece las injusticias como enquirito otra perimental. Nuestras rara tuvo un pasado noble y hemos, con la ayuda de nuestra determinación el y poder divino, volver a el confiando en que la hu- manidad realizara el que no deba existir destrucción eterna. Abrigamos la esperanza de que nuestro Congreso aprobará dicha ley en conde del linchamiento de modo que todos los hombres y todas las razas vivan en paz, va sea en América Europa, Asia o Africa Permutamos que el nuevo año sea un año de justicia para toda la humanidad, de modo que no haya causa de descontento. Esperamos del Congreso de los Estados Unidos protección para nuestras vidas y haciendas. Fuimos traidos aquí en contra de nuestros deseos. Solamente pedimos justicia, y no dudamos que el Honorable Congreso nos la garantizara. La violencia y la injusticia no har servido nunca de ayuda alguna a raza o nación, y habiendo adquirido esta experiencia con el transcurso de los años; nosotros en esta nueva era deseamos amar la humanidad, inspirados en el precepto divino, "Ama a tu projimo como a tu mismo." Muchos de vida pacifica para los Estados Unidos de América en la práctica de justicia hacia todas las razas, y nosotros, en este día de celebración, aclamamos con anticipación al Honorable Congreso en la esperanza de que nos hara justicia como pueblo, con la aprobación de la ley Dyer, la cual prohibe el linchamiento. Con nuestro mejor deseo, quedamos de istedes. Muy respetuosamente.

La Raza Negra en Egipto En la página editorial del "New York American" del 25 de Diciembre pasado, leemos estos parrafos: "La Estigie del desierto es muy antigua, desde los tiempos en que los Etiópicos, los antepasados de la presente raza negra, nuestros vecinos, gobbernan a Egipto. . . . La Estigie más famosa de todas es la de Ghiza, con grueses lablos y nariz aplastada, facciones de la raza etiópica, labrada en una sola roca de cientico ochenta y nueve pies de longitud." Nos complace sobremanera el leer tales informaciones en un poriódico de la reputación del "New York American." El Negro del presente reconoce que las razas dominantes en asimilararon la civilización de la antigua Grecia, la cual recibió su inspiración de la India y del Egipto, países gobernados en tiempos remotos por la raga negra. LA INDEPENDENCIA DE LAS FILIPINAS DE NUEVO SOBRE EL TAPETE La oposición en algunos centros del senado al tratado cuadruple sobre el Pacifico ha dado lugar a que ciertos miembros de los antiguos reservistas moderados en el debate sobre la Liga de las naciones celebraran hoy una reunión para discutir las salvedades que van a proponer al nuevo pacto Una de las resoluciones en discussion es la que provee por la independencia de las Filipinas y se de claro que el senador McNary, por Oregon, presentara el proyecto de resolución Se leyó la redacción de primera intención de la aludida resolución, por medio de la cual se obligan los Estados Unidos a conceder dentro de dos años la independencia de las islas, siempre que las otras potencias signatarias del tratado convenir en respetar la independencia política y la integridad territorial de las Filipinas La India Se Constituye En Una República Independiente. El Movimiento Nacionalista Ha Sido Apoyado Por Postos Norte-Americanos Informa un despacho telegratto recibido por S.聂endra N. X. Ghose director de la comisión americana en pro de la actinoma administrava de la India, que dicho passe la prochama en republica y que la política pacífica de Mabatima Gandu la aupen el congress nacional de la India otorga póderes la emana pasada, se ha modificado en forma tal, que permita en lo sucesivo la comisión de actos de violencia por las fuerzas nacionalistas con catacter detensivo El mensaje americano en referencia es el que se dirige al congresso nacional congregado en Valmedabad con las trimas de los ensayos norteamericanos. Norris y Walsh, de Massachusetts, ex gobernador Dumne de Illinois, el juez Minturina de la suprema corto de justicia de New Jersey v otros treinta v ocho cudadanos de los Estados Unidos, entre los cuales se cuentan funconarios públicos y publicistas promientes. Dicho mensaje ofrecio a los nacionalistas el apoyo americano en su chucha por la underdanza Mahatma Gandhi proclamó la república haciendo uso de los pardes que le confirió el congressional Aun cuando se habia deCIDIDO DEJAR pendiente la proclamación de la república, la llegada del mensaje precipito la proclamación Mr. Ghose expidio hoy por la noche un manantio concebido en estos términos "La proclamación de la república de los Estados Unidos de la India, la actuahad se debe a la promesa de ayuda hecha al partido nacionalista de la India por un grupo de americanos amantes de la libertad" En antepacación a la declaración de independencia, los nacionalistas han organizado en todas las provincias del país, gobiernos regionales con caracter provisional y se ha constituto un gobernor central con Gandhi a la cabeza. Los nacionalistas anti-cooperacionistas hatan caso omiso en absoluto, de la autoridad britanica. Un grupo de voluntarios nacionales actuaran como policía, tal como se hizo en Calcuta a la llegada del príncipe de Gales. Dicho estado de cosas no podra menos que determinar conflictos armados, pero la política nacionalista se ha modelado en forma tal, que toda la culpa recaera sobre la Gran Bretaña. La India imita el movimiento revolucionario pacificamente, pero preparada y resuelta a defender sus derechos, las ofensivas motivarán represalias de hov en adelante. Con la extension del boycotto a los individuos, tanto los civiles como las empresas británicas, tropezarán con un sinnumero de dificultades. Los americanos, por supuesto, no estarán inclusos en el boycotto en tampoco lo estará aquellos subditos europeos que no dependan del gobierno británico Los Martires Terence McSwiney, el patriota irlandés, ha dejado una marca en los anales de la civilización, la cual ha de estar grabada en la mente de Lloyd George hasta su muerte. La fibra moral del hombre demostrada en su abstinencia de alimentación durante su encarcelamiento en la ciudad de Cork, fue le demostración más patrífica que se haya registrado en la lucha sangrienta por la independencia de Irlanda. Esta acción corrobora la enterza de caracter del irlandés, y pone de relieve en la mente del inglés la necoidad de "hilar de otro modo" con una razza de tal determinación. La Comision Investigadora De Los Asuntos De Haiti Y Santo Domingo El comité senatorial que regreso pacientesmente de practicar una investigación en Haiti ha declarado en una nota que cree que es necesario que continuen allí los marios americanos, para la paz v el desarroillo del paus. El comité ha recomendado que se nombre un alto comisionado, a fin de coordinar las actividades entre los militares v los functionarios del tratado. También solicitan nueva ayuda para salir de la deuda europea. Con respecto a Santo Domingo el comite ha dicho que la población por consejo de sus lideres, se ha negado a aceptar las condiciones de la proclama para retirar las fuerzas americanas y ha dicho que actualmente es imposible modificar dichas posiciones, pero que la construcción de una nueva carretera obra para la cual la comisión senatorial recomienda un empestito-permitura a un gobierno native de Santo Domingo el dominar de manera efectiva las insurrecciones y justificaria probablemente la modificacion, va que garantizar la estabilidad de gobierno, perseguida en la proclama americana.

España Rinde Homenaje a Un Miembro Del Congreso De Puerto Rico El senor don Carano del miembro de la comara de representantes de Puerto Rico fue observado con un bauquete dado en un honor por varios de los intelectuales más infuentes de Espana. En uno de los discursos pronunciados por el senor Fernandez Uzera abogado portorriqueño, ensalzó los métodos introducidos en Puerto Rico por los Estados. Uzera agregó que los pribles hispaniamericanos, miraban a los Estados Unidos como el hermano mayor de Puerto Rico. El senor coll, habla después agradando el hombreaje y ratificando los conceptos Vertidos en la conterena que dio en el Ateneo de Madrid. Cuba Se Propone Reducir Su Ejército In esta hora en que lo lleva toda la cuestión relativa al recorte del presupuesto, a fin de equilibrar los ingresos y ingresos del país, la prensa abre una campaña para que se estude detendamente un capítulo que hasta aquí no se ha tocado los gastos del ejercito. Hacese hincapie en que el ejercito cubiano pudiera reducirse mucho, pues las necesidades del país no requieren el tren considerable de infanteria, artillería y demas de que se ha venido hacia gala, ya que las revoluciones contra gobierno legitimante constituidos, los que tienen su base en la elección popular como el de Cuba, han desaparecido para siempre de la isla. Exportación De Tabacos En el mes de Noviembre de 1921 se exportaron del puerto de La Habana, con destino a los Estados Unidos, 3,214,863 tabacos torcidos, valorados en $415,726. El promedio de valor por millar de tabacos importados por los Estados Unidos, en el referido mes de Noviembre último, fue, de $129.31. La Misiones Belgas En Las Filipinas Dentro de poco empezara una campafla en Manila y provincias para allegar fondos para la ayuda de las misiones belgas en la provincia Montañosa. Estas misiones estan hoy dada dedicadas a una misión altamente humanitaria, atra- yendo a la civilización las tribus de esa provincia. Los padres belgas llegaron a las Filipinas en 1907 llamados por las autoridades ecclesiasticas para cooper rar con el gobierno en la obra de civilización de estas tribus. La primera mision se abrió en Baquí con el dinero personal de un de los misioneros. Mas sólo han abierto misiones en Boca Banco.

Muy poco dinero lo gaba de Europa y lo poco que pedían las personas que alli solían en vivir fondos se reciban en cancidas pequeñas debido a las perdidas tan grandes que ocasionaba e cambio de la moneda. Hoy dia existen las mismas causas en aquen entonces, v la misiones estan en tmal estado financiero que se temengan que paralizarse sus trabajos gobernador general Wood endosa favorablemente esta obra altamente humanitaria de los padres e una parte que reciente han dugido al consul de Su Majestad de Belgac en Manila *Comprender el efecto tan desastroso que ha tenido la guerra en la contribuciones que ilegaban para la misión.
