The Negro World

The Indispensible Weekly The Voice of the Awaked Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Adorning Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solly to the Interests of the Negro Raco THE FIGHT FOR AFRICAN LIBERTY IS ON THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE VOL. XI. No. 23 There comes a time in the life of all reform movements when the oppanents to the rights of the people declare in the open by their deeds and thus give cause for universal action. The Negro race, like all other people, who have struggled upward to freedom must expect to encounter hostilities and embarrassment of all kinds coming from within and from without, and those of us who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been interested in its career full of work and under the motto "give the many embarrassing situations forced upon the great movement." As President general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association automatically became President of the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation and all other auxiliary corporations for the purpose of control, just as a President or Premier is head of the various departments of his government. This being so and it being impossible for one man to function minutely in every position, it becomes necessary to have heads of various departments, who are in turn responsible to the proper conduct of affairs. I everybody knows that I represent to a great measure theearnings of four hundred million people who are venerating for freedom, real freedom everywhere, and especially for the complete liberation of Africa. Everybody within recent days knows that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the most powerful Negro movement yet recorded in history and known to man, that it has succeeded in creating an international sentiment among Negroes never before known, in that Negroes everywhere without any compromise or apology are demanding equal rights, justice and a fair opportunity in all things human. This new spirit among Negroes is causing a restlessness among other peoples that is very disturbing. Some of them are having dreadful nightmares as to the outcome of the African cause. Naturally, therefore, they will seek every mean possible to destroy the usefulness of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so as to make it impossible for Negroes to lift themselves from the conditions of serfdom, peonage and slavery to real manhood—national, industrial, commercial, social, religious, educational The old characteristic of the Negro reveals to those who desire the destruction of the race that whenever any number of Negroes get together to impartitently (? ask for rights the best things to do and the most successful is to get hold of the leader drive him out of town send him to jail, or get rid of him in some way or the other, and you will scatter the little group of impertinent (?) fellows who are not satisfied with their condition. But, behold! a new day is here and Negroes are not so scattered now. Negroes are not so easily daunted now. Negroes are not so easily cowed now. The tide has changed, and instead of Negroes going asunder after their leader is being tampered with, put out of the way, hanged, electrocuted sent to prison, they only come together the more, and present to the world many more such leaders to take the place of the one removed from the field of action. And this latter has been the attitude of all peoples who have fought for their liberty. The old method of striking the shepherd and scattering the sheep can no longer be applied to the new Negro who has scented the atmosphere of freedom and who is determined to hash in the sunshine of human liberty and live under the blessed rays of true democracy. But in the desire to be unfair, to be unjust men become drunk sometimes with their authority, with their power and they resort to measures and to methods which sometimes react Those who have been following closely the career of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last couple of years can without much trouble pick out the scattered enemies of the movement, enemies in other organizations claiming to be working for the advancement of the race, as well as other organizations that have been subsidized by skillful strategists of other races who believe that the best way to defeat the Negro is to use him against himself, as well as individual members of the race, some who have been dismissed from this organization for dishonesty and unreliability, duplicity of service and for other causes. Other enemies of the movement are to be found not only among individuals and organizations but among governmental powers, who have colonial possessions in Africa, and who are afraid of losing them through the success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The combination of these forces have been working for some time to discredit me and my leadership, to make me out so dishonest and to so scatter a propaganda to that effect as to cause a universal stampede against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thus bringing about its immediate destruction, along with its allied corporations, the Black Star Line, etc. They know of the relationship of all these corporations, and they believe that to strike one and put it out of commission is to bring the ruin of all. How misguided these poor mortals are! All these forces organized against the Universal Negro Improvement Association have their own particular and individual aim to be achieved. As has been explained, and as may be further explained in other respects, certain socalled Negro organizations made up of mixed peoples, who claim to be working in the interest of Negroes, are sore at me and at the Universal Negro Improvement Association because the movement has made an inroad NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 FOR AFRICAN L ROJGHOUT T Negroes Scattered Throughout the World Cannot Be Deceived—Propaganda to Discredit Leader of Great Cause Well Understood NEGRO TRAITORS IN ORGANIZATIONS PRETENDING TO BE WORKING FOR UPLIFT OF RACE BEHIND PLOT The Jews Could Not Crucify Christ Because They Had No Power They Got the Romans to Do It by Lying About Christ Negroes Wanting to Get Garvey Out of the Way, but Having No Power, Are Endeavoring to Get Others to Do It into their little game of fooling the Negro We have cut away from their membership thousands of devotees whose eyes are now open The pressure is being felt at headquarters, and therefore the edict goes out "We must crush Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association Our salaries are imperilled, our good association with our social equals is to be destroyed, we cannot allow it." Hence we find them writing in two consecutive articles in their monthly journal for the months of December, 1921, and January, 1922, alarming predictions against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and holding out suspicions as a source of propaganda which was to be waged against the organization to bring its downfall. And then succeeding the two articles, their white director of publicity, not longer than a couple of weeks ago, write an abusive, insolent derogatory and wicked article in the Sunday edition of the New York World, further emphasizing the suspicion of his colleagues as written in the two articles above mentioned, so as to arouse the Negro people against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader. Those who read the article in the New York World here referred to will remember these words: "But the bill has not yet been presented to Mr. Marcus Garvey. It may be a heavy one on the day of payment." Immediately after the publication of this wicked article a national campaign of newspaper releases went out inspiring those newspaper men, who had probably no suspicion of the intention to fight the Garvey movement, to create sentiment against it, so as to bring its downfall, and thus save the crumbling, hypocritical movements that have been fooling the people for many years. All the forces that were organized, though with separate aims as aforesaid, realized that they have the one objective in view, and therefore all of them should come together for the common purpose, and thus we find a relationship existing today between treacherous Negroes, dishonest Negroes, discredited Negroes, intelligent Negroes, so-called respectable Negroes, those who are opposed to Negro freedom, those who are opposed to African liberation, all working hand in hand because they are journeying on the same road toward the same destiny—revenge, destruction to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every means and method were resorted to to hold up the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through me, to ridicule and contempt, but the individuals and the organization, being without power, could do nothing to harm me or the cause, hence these individuals and these organizations have been flooding the various departments of government of the United States of America with all kinds of wicked and malicious complaints for the purpose of getting the government to incriminate me some way or other, by which charge they would have been given the material to publish to the world my imaginary crime. Thus the public of New York and the world, through the Associated Press and Reuters, were suddenly notified on Thursday afternoon, the 12th inst., and Friday morning, the 13th, in glaring newspaper headlines that "Marcus Garvey was arrested for fraudulent use of the United States mails." Yes, this news has made the circuit already of the world; it has been relayed to Africa, to Europe, to Asia, all through the United States, Canada, the West Indies, South and Central America, Australia, so that Garvey can be held up to the world as a criminal, and therefore no one should follow him. Thus the downfall of the great Negro up'ift movement. But these poor plotters are counting without their host, they do not know the spirit of the New Negro. He cannot easily be deceived. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, its auxiliary corporations and Marcus Garvey would never knowingly violate a law, either in the United States of America or any country where law and order must be maintained, therefore when the proper time comes those who have been used as mere instruments to carry out the designs of Negro plotters and other enemies will find out their mistake and the whole farce exposed to the world. No true cause can perish, and surely the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot die. Everybody knows that the U. N. I. A. becomes stronger after every fight for its existence, and we shall prove it at this time beyond the shadow of a doubt. Africa, the West Indies, South and Central America, the branches in Europe, in Australia, in India, must be lined up for the great cause of Negro liberty. Our men are prepared everywhere. Little tricks; little plots do not surprise us; because such have been the methods resisted to always by the enemies of human liberty. Robert Emmett and Roger Casement fought and died for Ireland; O'Connell, Parnell, Redmond, Griffiths, Collins and De Valera have fought for and have won PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Irish freedom Mahatma Gandhi is fighting for the freedom of India, and will not cease until all Indians are free. Zagloul Pasha is fighting for the freedom of Egypt, he has been deported from his country, and is now exiled in Ceylon, but the cause of Egypt goes on. Other men have died for the liberty of their people; other men have been imprisoned. Can I be less than a man fighting the cause of African liberty to be afraid of death, of prison, of hell itself? Still there are many who believe that the Negro is a child, and must be treated as such, and we should not wonder if others think that of us, when we have men who pretend to be working in the interest of our race, and who will sell themselves over as though they were slaves to do the bidding of those who have enslaved them for over two hundred and fifty years. The British and the allied powers fought the Germans because the Central Powers threatened the life of civilization and the cause of humanity. To win the freedom of the world the English and allied powers did not ask the Germans to form a part of their Executive Council, and did not elect a German to be the President, the Treasurer, or the Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Council of Operation. Yet we find our so-called intellectual (?) and patriotic (?) Negroes, who are patriotic because of the good salaries guaranteed them, having advancement associations that are fighting the Universal Negro Association and their executive officers are the very people from whom the Negroes must liberate them-elves. The Universal Negro Improvement Association likes a clean fight, an open fight, an honorable fight. Why try to stab in the back, and in the dark? Those who are behind the arrest, why won't you come out like men, instead of writing anonymous letters to the New York World and the Post Office Department, lying all manner of charges against me and against the association I represent, and then pretend that you are too dignified to do anything that is mean! You can never cover dirt by wearing a clean shirt; it will be soiled before long. Negroes cannot be fooled in 1922 as they have been fooled for the last ten years by certain people who have been drawing big salaries and implying their service to the face conditional on the salaries that they get. The spirit of the greatest Negro movement in the world cannot be destroyed, because millions of men of the race everywhere are determined that the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall live, and forever. No true white man who loves human liberty, who loves himself, would deny the right to any other man, whether he be black or yellow, to fight for his own liberty, his own happiness. White men of America, surely shall not make Negroes be more liberal hearted than they. Negroes fought in the Revolutionary War, even though they were slaves, to make America free. Crispus Attucks was the first to bare his bosom and shed his blood on Boston Commons for the freedom of the country. Negroes have fought everywhere for white men, under every flag, to give them liberty, to hand them democracy, and make them free, and I feel that no true white man in America, or anywhere for that matter, will be narrow-minded enough to stand in the way of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No true Irishman will do it, no true Jew will do it, no true Englishman will do it. And my advice on behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to those of the white race who wish for an abiding peace and a friendly relationship with the Negro race and all other races is to pay no attention to the traitors of those races who are trying to better themselves at the expense of their people, because such traitors, after having been bought for ten pieces of silver by one individual will sell themselves again to someone else, to the destruction of the very one who first paid the price. Men who will lie about their own, men will try to destroy their own, are not m... you can trust in these days, because if they will do that to their own, what will they not do to others when the time comes? I trust the white peole of the United States or the world will not harbor for one minute the belief that the program of this great organization is that of hostility to them. It is not. It is one of liberty for Negroes everywhere. We hate no man, whether he be white, yellow or black. We love all humanity; we hate only traitors, and we hate black traitors to the black race more than all others. I appeal to the honorable, self-respecting white people of the United States of America and the world who desire to see right established throughout the world, not to be prejudiced because of treacherous and wicked misrepresentations against the greatest movement every started among Negroes on their own account for their own development. Those of the white race who desire to see the Negro develop should be the first to help the Negro on his own account to develop, because in that he will be able to prove his real manhood. And I trust those who are members of advancement associations, who are executives and helpers of these associations, if they are in real earnest, will realize that they can help the race in no better way than by allowing the race to develop under its own control, and if you so desire give it what financial and moral help you can and thus prove if we are worthy of self-initiative. Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and members of the Negro race who desire the race's uplift will now stand together more than ever to see that the program of Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad, is put over. Fail not to send your support to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its subsidiary, Imperialism, at Black Star Line, 56 West 135th street, New York city, U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success I have the lions to be THOUSANDS FLOCK TO LIBERTY HALL TO HEAR HON. MARCUS GARVEY IN SECOND GREAT SPEECH IN HIS DEFENSE UNANIMOUS EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY FOR AND WILLINGNESS TO HELP LEADER SHOWN LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday evening, Jan 15 1922 — The Mon. Marcus Garvey's presence in Liberty Hall tonight was the occasion for a unanimous expression of sympathy for and willingness to help the great race leader. He delivered his second great speech in defense of his position in the matter of the recent attempt to discredit him personally, and though in some parts it was a reteneration of what he said in his address Friday night, there were enough new expressions in it to still further assure everyone present not only of his absolute innocence, but of the larger and more important fact that he is the ablest and greatest leader of the Negro in the world today The morale of the new Negro, he said, cannot be broken, no matter what may happen, nor will the U. N. I. A. and its allied corporations fail or cease to exist because of the death of any one marin in it, whether he be the leader, or whether he hold any other office in its management. This association, he declared, is engaged in the fight for the liberation of the Negro peoples of the world. It is a cause that cannot die. The more you persecute it he said, the stronger becomes the determination to fight to the bitter end, and those who believe the movement is a joke will yet be greatly surprised Behind the attempt to cause him infinite trouble and embarrassment as the head, is the Negro traitor the Negro plotter. But, he continued he is not worried in the rightmost by the outcome of it, as far as he personally is concerned; he is disturbed only as to the way they are forcing the Negro more and more to do things against his will. "You cannot," said he, "continue to provoke a man without standing the consequences of the provocation; and Negroes are not in the frame of mind throughout the world today to be provoked. The allegation that he has resorted to fraud in the execution of his high trust as head of the association is made only because of the lack of respect on the part of other for Negro leadership." But, he continued, "this is one movement that is going to teach them a signal lesson. They may have had to deal with the Negro scamp and the Negro vagaband and the Negro cheat in the past, but there is something dearer to this movement than money. it is liberty, it is true democracy; it is faith in manhood rights; and in the desire to gain those things the followers of the U. N. L. A. have lost sight of money." Negro leaders in the past, Mr. Garvey asserted could not undertake big programs for their race because of the help they received from charity and philanthropy. No program for liberty has ever yet been put over by such aid, on the contrary, only by the making of sacrifice, and this our leaders in the past have been unwilling to do. Many white people, those who have dispensed charity to the Negro heretofore, still think that all movements for the uplift of the Negro must be of the kind that seek charity and philanthropy with leaders who go down on bended knees and beg for help. But the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a manhood program—a program that seeks the redemption of Africa, not by begging others for assistance, but by our own efforts. "We have but little chance of getting justice where we live under alien rule, and we are longing to get it from ourselves and among ourselves. That is why we want a government of our own, so that when we meet the traitors as we know them we can better handle them; and we are going to handle them one of these days in Africa. "The spirit of so many people as the four and a half million members of this great organization cannot be suppressed; hence Africa is bound to be free ultimately, and those who are plotting against the movement are only piling up trouble for themselves later on. The work of this association is so great and so important, he pointed out, that we cannot afford to allow any one (even members of our own race) to treat it with disrespect. With significance, he added: "The star of Africa is shining, and though the press may ridicule us and criticize make designs for our downfall, I want to remind you that you are engaged in a noble work—the work of liberating 400,000,000 souls. It is a righteous work; a noble cause. Let nothing, therefore, dampen your ardor to deter you in your determination to prosecute on to the goal we have in view." Here the speaker referred to the strength of the movement in Africa, and remarked that as the pressure of it increases there, more and more will grow the propaganda to destroy its cause in the United States. Later editor reports showed that the native Africans have changed their attitude and are now anxious to gain their freedom to carry on a propaganda that is Negra. "This is said, the Africans themselves, and many of them are going out of Africa now." defense funds to aid him at this time and a similar fund known as the New York Local Defense, was started tonight, to which everyone in the great hall liberally responded. At the conclusion of Mr. Garvey's address, a petition was read, signed by thousands comprising the entire membership of the New York local expressing confidence in the personal honesty, integrity of character, sincerity of motives, and business acumen of the President General. Copies of this petition were sent to Mayor Hyland and to certain departments of the Federal Government, as also to the white press. The prayer of the petition is that the Federal Government turn a deaf ear to the slanderous propaganda of dishonest and treacherous intrigues and that the press refrain from publishing misstatements and holding up the Hon Marquis Garvey and the organization to ridicule and contempt Addresses were also made by Sir Wm. H. Ferris Mr G E. Carter and Mr R. L. Poston all members of the Executive Council. This, together with the musical program rounded out the meeting, which, from every point of view was a magnificent tribute to the Hon Marus Garvey on the part of the New York public as to their belief in the malicious charges preferred against him as being absolutely unfounded and without the slightest current. Mon. Marcus Garvey Speaks Mon. Marcus Carvey Speaks Hon Marcus Carvey spoke as follows. My subject for tonight is 'The Fight for Liberty.' My arrest as you know, is part of the international plot to discredit me and then smash the hope of the Negro for real freedom. Those of you who have have paying close attention on to the upward growth of the Universal Negro improvement Association must have realized the offense created by this movement against those forces that have kept us oppressed for hundreds of years. The so-called arrest of a couple of days ago' is but the medium through which it is desired that I be discredited before the world, thus bringing to a people who have within the last four years seen a victim, an utter gloom and darkness from which apparently they would not recover. But unfortunately for our friends who have been working their little games and setting their plots they are rating the present Negro by the conduct and action of the Negro of the past. Morale of New Negro Unbroken I say this positively the morale of the New Negro cannot be broken. (Cries of No' No') The morale of the Negro American soldier in France the morale of the Negro West Indian soldier in France the morale of the Negro African soldier in France was unbroken and the morale of the soldiers of the bloody war of 1914 to 1918 is the morale of Negroes throughout the world. (Applause.) It cannot: be broken I feel that those who are responsible—I mean as far as the law is concerned—for my arrest, were but innocent parties to the plot engineered by the traitors and plotters who have set the stage for an international scandal as far as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is concerned. The psychology of the thing is this: That if we can get some kind of discreditable news about Garvey and the Black Star Line and the Universal Negro Improvement Association to relay around the world, we will be able to break down the morale of his supporters—the morale of the Negroes—and thereby we will be able to win the day against the new determination on the part of Negroes to free themselves universally. Wisely or unwisely, they themselves during the last war taught us the value of propaganda, and every Negro knows what propaganda means and when it is directed against him be pay no attention to it. Propaganda Directed Against the Nature It is but propaganda of certain European governments by which they will be able to dampen the spirit and the order of the New Negro, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association having been schooled in the new state-management of 1914 and 1918 cannot be deceived. Those of you who are members of this association—and we have millions—you know that there is but one cause, and that is the cause of the freedom of Afron. There is no going back on it; there is no compromising it; it cannot be stopped by the arrest of any one man; it cannot be stopped by the death of any one man; it cannot be stopped by the arrest of a thousand man; it cannot be stopped by the death of a million man; it must go on (Applause). When the tattered knot we cannot Marissa Curvey, they knock out all knot one man to whom death is due to the result of a slayer if he dying he has few Afron and refuses the entitlement. THE NEGRO WORLD SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 Divisions from All Parts of Country Send Telegrams of Loyalty to U. N. I.

DESPIITE MACHINATIONS OF ENEMIES, WILL YET BE FREE Leaders in the Past Could Not Undertake Big Program for the Negro, Because Aided by Philanthropy and Charity from Alien Races RECENT CABLE DISPATCHES REPORT NATIVE AFRICANS UNITING FOR THEIR FREEDOM—DUE TO PROPAGANDA OF U.

R SITUATION Those Who Believe Movement a Joke Will Be Surprised—Big New York Local Defense Fund Started, Likewise in Other Big Cities tion of the New York position of the world, the light that he landed for 16 years, for which Robert Emmet gave his head for which Roger Clement gave his life and Martha Garvey like all the martyrms of other wars, gave his blood at any time for the free dom of Africa. (Applause.) The Cause Cannot Die This is a cause that cannot die. The more you persecute the stronger becomes the determination to fight to the bitter end. So this camouflage these plots, these designs and those who engineer them may well know that the New Negro here and so long as Marquis Garvey lives and has the breath of life they will never be able to destroy the purpose we have in view. Some of you may be cowardly at heart and fearful at heart, but here stands one Negro that could have died in 1914 and 1918 whose life could have been given for nothing on the battle plains of France and Flanders that life when it is to be given shall be given for the cause of African freedom everywhere. The new Negro is here and he is not going to yield up without a fight—a fight to the finish. They try to impute all kinds of things disrespectful against the Negro, thinking that the Negro is not a man like other men. Ireland has fought for her freedom for 750 years and Ireland has won her freedom. Dare them to impute anything disrespectful to a race not four million strong, but four hundred million strong* They see to think and take Never is a lie, but let me say again and I have confidence that this is one movement that will surprise those who believe it to be a job. The Movement a Spiritual One This is one movement that will surprise those who believe that it is a movement of graft. It is a spiritual movement, and nothing in the world can kill the ardor or the spirit of a people. They itlk about my having fraudulently used the malia. I do not know in what way, but suffice it to say, that is only a means to an end. Behind it all is the Negro traitor, behind it all is the Negro plotter, behind it all are those who have something to lose if the Universal Negro Improvement Association succeeds in its program. That is the whose sum and substance of it, and the Negro knows it and therefore cannot be deceived. I do not care one row of pins what the outcome of the case may be, so I am not disturbed about it. I am only disturbed about the way they are forcing us more and more to do things against our will. If you continue to provoke a man you must stand the consequences of the provocation, and Negroes are not in the frame of mind throughout the world today to be provoked. They have been provoked for 250 years, they have been lied to for 200 years, and the Negro in Africa, in the West Indies, in Central and South America and North America is not prepared to be fooled with at this time. You will realize that you are not the only men in the world. There are men of other races; they are Japanese, Chinese, Hindooes, Egyptians, Jews, Italians, Frenchmen, Germans, Englishmen, white Americans, Canadians, and all have fought and died for their freedom, and nobody imputed ulterior motives to those who led. They did not say George Washington robbed the people of their money; they did not say William Pitt robbed the people of their money; they did not say De Valera robbed the people of their money, even though the Irishmen came here and sold millions of dollars' worth of bonds for the freedom of Ireland without any securities. They did not say De Valera robbed the Irish people. Why is it? Because they have no respect for the Negro and for Negro leadership, but this is one movement that is going to teach them a signal lesson. They may have had to deal with the Negro scamp and the Negro vagabond and the Negro chant in the past, but there is something deeper to this movement than money, it is liberty; it is true democracy; it is faith in manhood rights and in the desire to gain those things we see light of money. But it is natural that the original things originally of other races who are absent, in some regal to every other person as a sinner and therefore can see no good in them virtue in the other fellow, but for them look at us through that spectacle and they will be deceived Unfortunately or fortunately it happened that I because of being President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was made president of the allied corporations as to carry out the proper system of control just as the President of the United States of America is responsible for all departments of the American Government yet he does not control them just as the Prime Minister of Great Britain or France is responsible for the various departments of government but does not control them all. But they do not seem to realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association we have plans and spirit enough to do things in big ways and on a big scale. They simply believe that in everything there is graft. I do not know if they are judging us by themselves, but it is peculiar how some men can see nothing else in the Universal Negro Improvement Association but graft. Why cannot they see the virtue of the thing? Why should it be hard or difficult for the Negro to be as virtuous as other people who have been fighting for the same cause? The English fought for liberty), the Americans can be for liberty) the French fought for liberty the Irish fought for liberty. Why cannot they see the virtues of the Negro lighting for liberty? It is simply because they have no respect for us; whether we are leaders or criminals we are all clad together. A well-wished Africa is the ultimate thing to grove everywhere. If we cannot get liberty in Europe if we cannot get liberty on this American Continent, if we cannot get liberty in Asia then surely we shall take liberty in Africa. Our course is planned and because the program is to log on to our own people and oppose it for the bigness, because being it takes much to put it over and they are not prepared to go. Our leaders in the past have been men who have been paid by philanthropy and charity and naturally could not undertake any big program Charity and philanthropy do not put over big programs. Programs that are put over by charity and philanthropy are circumscribed or limited. A program for liberty has never yet been put over by charity and by philanthropy, but, on the contrary by sacrifice. Our leaders in the past have never been ready to make sacrifices, because it does not pay to sacrifice. It does not pay to go without lunch. It does not pay to go without supper and that would be sacrifice our leaders are not prepared to make it. And that is part the cause of the attitude and frame of mind of those who have been handling out to our leaders in the past. They believe that all movements of Negroes must be of that kind as to seek the charity and philanthropy of others—going down on the knee and begging for help, so to insure their lunchoon and supper—a bread and butter leadership. 4. Program of Manhood We come forward with a manhole program. It is so big they cannot understand it. It is surprising that there should be an African Republic and an African President. How in contact? How impertinent? How dare you talk about a provisional or actual president of Africa? That is what is true, or not. But they do not seem to realise that they are taining the issue, and by their taining it is going to be realised quicker than we anticipated. By these little arrests here and there they are only engraving the Negro people of the world to fight the more, because we know among ourselves that in these parts where we live under a rule, we have but little chance of getting justice, and we are longing to get justice from ourselves and among ourselves, and that is why we want a government of our own from politician to president. (Applause.) So, that when we meet the traitors as we kow them, we can better handle them, and we are going to handle them all of these days in Africa somewhere. May my 'we are not going to Africa,' but they will have to follow the crowd, and then behind war stairs for her but down for her and will get her complete down for her and will set dead with her traitors because they are to written down Spirit of a People Cannot Be Suppressed It is important to support the spirit of so many people in my city we are too busy our lives. But kindle billions with the wisdom in our liberty. It is impossible to support our point and prevent our use of ultimately home there is bound to be a free Afrika winters at home or in a hundred years away. So that those men of our race who have plotted all kinds of things against the Universal Negro Improvement Association for its defeat and downfall are only piling up troubles of their own which will come back to them. I feel sure. A Universal Fight So you of Liberty Kill I want you to understand that the fight that we are rinking is not only an American fight, it is a universal fight and you brainless of the United Negro Improvement Association at this very hour throughout, the world are now in the West Indies the fight is on, in South and Central America the fight is on all over the United States the fight is on You will realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its work is so important to us that we cannot afford to allow any (even members of our own race) to treat it with disrespect. There must be something in this world worth dying for by some people. Some people die for their wives, some people die for their money, some people die for their property and some people die for a national ideal and among the many things that I would die for at the national ideal—free and independent Africa. I am not going to trouble anybody. I am not going to disturb anybody. I am not going to rob anybody. I am not going to in anybody's way but everybody will get out of my way on the way to Africa. We are traveling towards a destination that we claim to be ours and we are going to win out and we are going to get it if it takes a year or a hundred years we are bound to get the complete freedom of Africa. They know it and that is why they want to suppress the spirit of the Negro today). Men I feel sure that you have got the new spirit and if one man goes on the stage of action, there is but one soldier fallen out of line. I trust you who make up the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are prepared and ready at any time to find a man when the hour strikes for your deliverance. Whether Marcus Garvey be on the stage of action or not, he not despaired, lose not hope, lose not sight of the vision because the work must go on, victory must be won. I have been speaking to you for four and a half years and I feel sure we must have made some real men since that time—men who can face any crisis, men who will stand up anywhere and be ready to live and be ready to die. That is the only way you can win the freedom of Africa and we will win. Cowardly races, cowardly nations, have never won out anywhere and will never win, and if you go down the ages as a race of cowards you shall continue to be a race of slaves. You men and women who have got the vision, I trust you will keep it ever before you. The star of Africa is shining, and though newspapers may ridicule us and traitors will make designs for our downfall, I want to remind you that you are engaged in a noble work—the work of liberating 400,000,000 human souls. It is a righteous work; it is a noble cause; let nothing dampen or deter your determination. We in the four years of our operation have brought to you a world organization, and this world organization is causing unsuccess among some people because they treat it that it is not a joke Africa Strong for the Movement You can hardly imagine the strength of this movement in Africa—Houth Africa, East Africa, West Africa, North Africa and Central Africa. And as the pressure of this movement increases in Africa, more and more will grow the propaganda to destroy the source of it in these United States of America. Latest special reports coming from Europe say that the Africans have changed their attitude and that the Africans are carrying propaganda that is pro-Negro. This has alarmed Europeans and a lot of them are getting out of Africa now. A poor fellow went down there from France with his wife to kill big game, and some African made a mistake and took him for game (Laughter). So you will realize that something is happening in Africa and it suits some people to get at the source of this new spirit among those people. Who would have thought that those wild savages, as they called them, could have turned overnight? But even a worm turns sometimes, and they are going to see many more strange things happen. Organization Leads to Freedom We have to thank you for the splendid morale you have demonstrated. Keep up the splendid spirit that you have maintained and I am saying to you tonight that organization is the medium through which you will see salvation. Organization is the moving force, the propelling force that brings about freedom for all people. You are at your strongest point and that is why the forces are organized against you. Now let me tell you this. Once upon a time you could not get them the white pream) to mention anything about a Negro, except when he committed at most hideous crime they would not spend or pay) even ten cents to send any news concerning the Negro from one part of the country to the other. Now that universal Negro Improvement Association is coming them to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars animals to send tables and to relay messages around the world to tell about the activities among Negroes. It means therefore that you are succeeding time. When voluntarily they are willing to spend vast sums of money to publish and spread news concerning us, it means that you are doing some work Refere to His Arroat They arrested me here Thursday and by Friday evening I had newspaper clippings from about a dozen cities, some five hundred miles away, some a thousand miles away, which reported my arrest in New York, and those clippings were in some of the paper columns and a half long. Now you know when you cause white people to spend all that money for telegrams and cablegrams to disseminate news content in parts of that country and in the United States. It means that you have somebody worrying (Laughter). For people don't spend an much money so easily nowadays. Millions of dollars are being spent by the enemies of the Negro to keep back the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and although we haven't millions of dollars, we are determined, now more than ever that the work shall go on. Millions have already come to our standard, and millions more are rallying to the call, and pledging to the cause their loyalty, their devotion, their spiritual, moral and material assistance. I want you to understand that the fight is not so much against Marcus Garvey; it is because Marcus Garvey happens to be the shepherd of the flock, and they hope, by striking down the shepherd, to scatter the sheep. Therefore their plan is, get Garvey out of the way, and we will be able to handle the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (A voice. 'They make a big mistake' ) Shows Absurdity of Charges Against Mim Let me say to you that, as far as I am concerned, I have no cause to rob anybody. I have no cause to defraud anybody for the simple reason, thank God or whosoever gave it to me. I was endowed with strength and ability always to do something for myself, for I can handle a pick or a shovel, or handle a pen, or handle a wheelbarrow. I always see in such form as to be able to earn a livelihood anywhere, even in a desert, and having that confidence in myself, I can always find work, and if I cannot get it from some one else, I can make it for myself so that I do not think it would be justifiable for me to rob anybody else. The man who steals, the man who defrauds another man, is the poor fellow who has lost confidence in himself I still have confidence in myself, that I have ability and energy to find my daily bread of life; and so long as that confidence abides with me I will have no cause to rob anybody. Remember that whenever you see a thief, whenever you see a man who will defraud another that poor fellow has lost confidence in his own ability and, therefore, he resorts to stealing and robbing somebody else; but wherever you see an upright, honest man, that is the man who has confidence in his own soul, in his own physical and mental makeup. So that all they may say about my defrauding anyone, or using the mails fraudulently, doesn't worry me one bit, because I do not want to defraud anybody, and have no need to do so. As a conclusion to his address, the President General said that he expects all the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to stand by the association at this time. As for himself, it is immaterial, but as for the organization it is uppermost, it is all important, and every Negro at this time should show his loyalty to the cause, loyalty to the race by supporting the movement. He then said that it is the purpose of the organization to raise a New York Local Defense Fund, as all the other divisions are doing a fund on which it can always be depended to draw for financial aid whenever such things occur in the happening the other day, for big movement like the U, N, J A cannot afford to be without such a defense fund at all times. He said he hoped every man woman and child would regard it as a matter of race pride and duty to subscribe to this fund, everyone who believes in the freedom of Africa and in the emancipation of the race. This appeal was heartily responded to, members and friends of the organization coming forward and subscribing amounts of $1 each and more, the eagerness with which the people made their contributions being almost without precedent. 81R WM. H. FERRI8 &PEAK8 Bir Wm H Ferris in his address said he had never seen a dress parade that was staged more magnificently than that tonight by the turnout of the Legion of Honor, the Black Cross Nurses, and the Juveniles. There is a militant spirit to the U. N. I. A., and its members should ever remember the words of Isaoa Watts: "Sure I must fight if I would win, increase my courage Lord." The organisation has grown and grown until today it is the most formidable Negro organization in the world. He said that there are usually three causes why men fight each other. Among these are that they are after the same thing, or they want to be revenged upon those who have won out against them, or they want to overcome others who they see are succeeding. There are two forces that die the U N L A. The United States government in itself is not opposed to it, because it is not in its way, but the governments of Europe are, because they know that if it consumes its aims, and injects the proper spirit into the Africans, it will bring into play forces that in Africa, will drive them out, and Africans, rather than the Europeans, will exploit the richer and wealth of that greatest continent of the globe. There has been strife for Negro leadership, he said, ever since the days of Frederick Douglas. From the day when Washington made his Atlantic speech until today, men of the race are seeking personal advantage and gain under the guises of attempting to be leaders of the people. The various movements that were in existence from time to time "little were not big enough" for them all, hence they failed. Not so the U N I A, which has loomed up in such colossal proportions that other men see in it the means whereby the Negro a economic, political, industrial ascendancy can be accomplished. He referred to the history of great corporations and big industrial mills and factories, saying that these did not 111 one eleven cigarettes Three Friendly Gentlemen TURKISH VIRGINIA BURLEY The perfect blend of the three perfect cigarette tobacco in one perfect cigarette one-eleven cigarettes 15¢ for 20 AN IDEAL GIFT FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN A GENUINE LEATHER CASE containing five PENGILS with the child's full name engraved in REAL 12-ET.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE! ON Friday, January 13, 1922, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, organ of the monarchs of imperialism, drew a very pointed parallel of "Negro Aspirations—Two Types." The Eagle speaks regretfully of the death in Liberia of Colonel Charles Young, U.S. A. "the only Negro graduate of West Point who ever reached a colonelcy in the regular army." Nine-tenths of the editorial is devoted to apathetic eulogy of Young as soldier and statesman. Col Young, it seems, had a pathological interest in the development of the Dark Continent, but "not on Marcus Garvey's lines." As it is, the burden of the Eagle's opinion regarding Negro aspirations is embodied in the last paragraph, which says: "Colonel Young's ideal was to do the day's work faithfully, to avoid friction, to regard himself as a human being without obligations no different and essential rights no different from those of other human beings. Garvey's ideal is a perpetual conflict, economic, if possible; violent, if necessary, with the Caucasian forces that rule the world. Between these two ideals Negroes must choose." And the Negro has made his choice! He is going to stick by his guns, to perpetuate the radical ideas of Marcus Garvey, to fight, fight, until emancipation is complete! The Eagle, ignorant of what Garveyism means, ignorant of the spiritual regeneration of the Negro, thinks that with the arrest of Marcus Garvey the movement will die, the ideals he has imprisoned in the minds of 400,000,000 shepherdless sheep will go down with him—if he goes down at all! But the Eagle is fooling itself! It is a healthy, optimistic view for white capitalists to take, of course. Its full-page advertisers will find satisfaction in it. They will ride out to their country estates secure in the thought that their diamond interests in Kimberley are free from the violence of "Nigger upstarts." But they are mistaken! Like the philanthropists of Vesey street and the "race patriots" of Fifth avenue, the Eagle thinks that the Negro is still in the Tom Jones stage, is still basking in the sunlight of a Booker Washington theory, is still working under the delusion of a "parallel development" of the races. After the European War the Negroes of the world realized that they could not put up with the clap-trap being ladled out to them by the leaders of the N. A. A. C. P., Tuskegee Institute and the myriad other associations "founded in the interest of colored people," but directed and financed by philanthropists who did not know the Negro intimately. Then, like a bolt from the blue, came Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican journalist, preaching a doctrine of force, a doctrine of Negro manhood, a doctrine that the time had come when the Negro was sick and tired of the indirect leadership of white overlords, a doctrine that met with the unanimous response from the millions of Negroes the world over. It was not the pent-up bitterness of one man who had not had a square deal from the "Caucasian forces that rule the world," but a doctrine based on the suffering and deprivations of the masses of Negroes scattered all over the world. It was a doctrine that interpreted the feelings and emotions of the black proletariat, and it went home, it struck terror in the hearts of white men, it caused them to "sit up and take notice," to conclude that at last the Negro—murder!—was roused from his centuries of harmless sleep. For four years it held and is still holding away. It swept the four corners of the globe, it caused the rulers of Africa, the sugar painters of the West Indies, the white crackers of Dixie, to think, to reflect before consigning the Negro to a position of racial servitude. He was a militant doctrine to preach, and it stiffened the backs of millions of Negroes who for the first time felt the full force of that monumental thing—race consciousness. From on high, from the capitals of the mighty nations of the world there came agents and males in the guise of "sympathizers" to talk with this man, to spy on him, to dissect his philosophy, to discuss its practicabilities, to interview at the vision and dynamic force of his personality—to return home and report that he was not to be trifled with; he was honest, respect, sincere in his purpose, and it would take millions of dollars and thousands of years to unhorse him. Thousands of years! They didn't wait that long, their interests in Africa were immediate. Another thing/ Gradually the man's influence was encompassing the entire unthinking nation of the Dark Continent, and they were the new words and phrases to their vocabularies, such as Woodlandism once slanted in the faces of the under-dogs of four countries. Be the blue thing to do was to resort to the former one of millions of dollars to unhorse him. What did they learn and convert leaders of the race to spy on the association, and convert in their fields knowledge of its workings, to misrepair themselves and cause the yellow journals to grab at it. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 vourers They hailed Mr. Garvey in court on a charge of "defrauding the mails of the United States." Immediately there was a stampede for extras, the "black belts" of Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Washington were deluged with the outgivings of the white newspapers, heralding gleefully the downfall of Garveyism, the unhorsing of the one "unbuyable" black leader, the death of the greatest movement of modern times. For a moment the world stood at a stand-still. Up in the towers of Wall Street and Fifth avenue skyscrapers everybody was in smiles, overjoyed at the dramatic outcome. Just as they had planned it! But what is the effect on the hordes of black folk? The millions of outraged peons in the cotton fields of Louisiana the banana stretches of Bocas Del Toro, the cane fields of Cuba and Barbados, the simmering velvets of South Africa? Instead of "falling for it" they sat still for a moment, thought it over, diagnosed the whole trouble and lo! with magic swiftness they rose and, one and all begged the office of the sturdy Jamaican wizard with telegrams and message of confidence, confidence in his ability to weather the storm of tribal oppression, to come out of the crisis with flying colors. The people had spoken! They saw through the whole hastily plot, and they pledge themselves to stand by their leader through thick and thin, through blood and fire, until Africa is vanished! METHODICAL PROPAGANDA kids ago, there was opened through the the New York World a propaganda to this propaganda in various forms by ever since.

SOMM weeks ago there was opened through the magazine section of the New York World a propaganda to crush Marcus Garvey. This propaganda in various forms has kept up continuously ever since. So methodical is it that it finds its way in the most commonplace news articles appearing in that paper—quite often linking the name of Marcus Garvey with things ridiculously foreign in their relation to him. Two notable examples of this unkindness appeared in Monday morning's issue of the World, January 16. In a reported interview with Luther Bobby, the young Negro charged with the killing of two police detectives, Mazie E. Clemens took occasion to ask him what he thought of Marcus Garvey. As if the opinion of this self-confessed murderer in this question really mattered! Bobby's answer that he did not like Garvey because he got so much publicity seems, in a measure, to satisfy the editor of that paper, who, perhaps, shares that idea with Bobby. The other example, which appeared in the same issue of the paper, came in reporting the suicide of J. Frank Wheaton, prominent lawyer of New York. The following words were used in reference to Mr. Wheaton: "He was known to have looked with disfavor upon the plans for colonization of Africa by Mr. Garvey." This could have been the opinion of Mr. Wheaton without having a deal made of it at the time of his death, as the World did in this instance. But the truth of the case was that this was not Mr. Wheaton's opinion at all at the time of his death, unless he had a sudden change of heart and conveyed to the New York World some information which he withheld from the rest of the world. No matter what Mr. Wheaton's opinion of Mr. Garvey at one time was, this we know, that some weeks before his death at a meeting held at Liberty Hall in the presence of more than five thousand people, Mayor Hylan among them, J. Frank Wheaton said to Marcus Garvey that he had failed to understand him, but the more he studied, the more he was convinced that Marcus Garvey was inspired by God, and that he may henceforth depend upon him as one of his ardent supporters. We are inclined to think that the World is a bit unkind in its reports on the Garvey movement, possibly not intentionally so, for we could hardly conceive of a great daily like the New York World willfully doing this wrong; nevertheless, the effect is just the same, and the many colored people who contribute to the support of the paper are made the real sufferers. But it is all clear and we are prepared to meet it. They would crucify him who would inspire the Negro to hope and is not given in they will not succeed. ROBERT L.

According to Professor Sir Arthur Keith, this new skull gives us an intermediate link between the Java ape-man and the much more highly developed race whose remains have been found at Gibraltar. If so, it lends some support to the theory that, ages before history began, Europe was colonized, or partially colonized, from Africa. As part of a chain of development it suggests great and progressive changes in the human form since the ancestors of the type which eventually survived first appeared upon the earth There is no reason to suppose that this process is even now at an end. Habit and environment are the most potent causes, and in both the men of today differ entirely from their prehistoric ancestors. But man is always a tool-using animal, and the two hammer stones found with this Rhodesian skull mark out the owner as a true specimen of Homo Sapiens.—The Overseas Daily Mail THE NEGRO IN THE DRAMA week if Providence permits we will elobe the great race drama, "Tallaboo," which he U. N. I. A. Dramatic Club under dire Boston and Lester Taylor in Liberty H. Thursday evening, January 12. This drama N. R. Harper of Kentucky did the play entertain a large audience also brought words of praise from Dus wright, A Lincoln Harris, a playwright NEXT week if Providence permits we will elaborate at length upon the great race drama, "Tallaboo," which was presented by the U. N. I. A. Dramatic Club under direction of U. S. and R. L. Poston and Lester Taylor in Liberty Hall, New York City, on Thursday evening, January 12. This drama was composed by the late N. R. Harper of Kentucky. Not only did the play entertain a large audience on a stormy night, but it also brought words of praise from Duse Mohamed, a poet and playwright, A Lincoln Harris, a playwright, the Rt Hon Marcus Garvey and Mr. Harper, the son of the author of the play, who came all the way from Holyoke Mass, to New York to witness it. From the days of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Luripides and Aristophanes of Greece, from the days of Plautus and Terrence of Rome, down to the immortal Shakespeare and the present time, the drama has not only entertained the public, but has been an educational and moral force. Through Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, Fenton Johnson, Georgia Douglass Johnson and Lucian B. Watkins in poetry, Chestnut in the novel and Dr. Du Bois in "The Souls of Black Folk," the Negro has artistically portrayed his higher longings and aspirations. And in "Tallaboo" the lesson of race pride and race respect is taught in a natural and spontaneous manner. "Tallaboo" is not heavy and labored as so many race novels and plays are. But the story runs easily and naturally. The characters are strong and interesting. The audience enjoys the play as a play. And after it is all over the spectator realizes that his racial vision has been broadened and his racial ideals uplifted. W. H. F. OFFICE FORUM BY THE JAY Question. What form of Government affords equal opportunity to the masses as well as the classes? Answer The classes and masses are opposite poles. That government which is best fitted for both would of necessity be one in which there would be mutual distribution of power Because the dominance of either would prove the undung of the other. A pure democracy is best fitted for use of both That is a government of the people, for the people by the people in spirit this government is yet to be established. In letter it exists in the various republics of the world G. EMONEL CARTER The kind of government I believe in for the uneducated masses who are not experienced in government is an Autocratic or Limited Monarchial form of government. We know that the Chinese masses were not prepared for a Republican form of government after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, hence the disorder and chaos in China today. It was the first intention of the Russians after the overthrow of Czar Nicholas to establish a Republic, but the masses were not prepared or educated for such a sudden change hence the present government of Russia—the Soviet had to lead an automatic form in many respects. The first Napoleon of France had to disband his Republic in ideas for an Empire, because at that time the children were not educated enough in government to adopt a Republican form so he could not successfully defend a Republic against a world of enemies at the time however times have changed for France today. It would be well for Negroes to differentiate between black America and white America on the question of form of government. This government was established for white men. It will be impossible for Negroes to model a government after the pattern of this country to suit themselves. We know too well what retards the progress of Hawaii and Florida. Absentness with a different form of government has given hope of what the Negro race can unplug with a suitable government of his own. Literary Notes Literary Notes GENERAL MANGIN ON THE NEGROER As I now come to General Mangin, of the Irish Army with the statement, An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the black races. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races. What our earth are we coming to? If the Negroes are so much inferior to the white race as is claimed, why does the white race put so many barriers in their way to prevent them from rising to their level? As General Mangin states: "It is not at all flattering to the white race to assert that the Negro race is inferior, and then to prevent him from proving that he isn't. We know that we are not inferior and that in many instances are quite superior to the type of white men who are insistently proclaiming our inferiority. These are too cawdry to permit us to meet them in any sort of a contest for points, the cowards well knowing that the Negro would run away with them." we have never in America and will continue to do it anywhere when the conditions and opportunities are equal. The Negro youth in the schools and colleges of the West Indies, notably Harbards, have for years proved their intellectual superiority over white youths by asking most of the honors in scholarship, and wherever in America a black youth has had a square chance he has proved himself a foeman wry of the steel of his white colleague. Even our girls are making fine records and winning high honors as students in the schools and colleges of his country despite the fact that they have the same incentive to spur them on as have white girls, in whom the door of opportunity is wide open. The Abbe Gregore, many years ago wrote that some of the best correspondents of the French Academy were Africans, and from what we know of Africans generally, as thinkers and writers, we do not heatate to accept the Abbe Gregore's high estimate of their intellectual ability in the higher reaches of thought. General Mangin has not told the world anything new as to the intellectual capacity of the Negro. We could, in space permitted, give the names of hundreds of Negro scholars, authors, scientists and posters, advantage for advantage, would match those of an equal number of white man and will rank as high in the Republic of intellect and letters as any of them, and when truth gets a hearing, as it will before many decades shall have掀 down the corridors of time, the Negro scholars of the world will have come into their own and we shall then reevaluate a monumental bluff the "superior" white man is who for hundreds of years has filled the earth with the idea that wisdom and knowledge began and will end with him. We have never believed it, and we are still very, very much in doubt, because the Creator did not when He made man, mite him a superman, but made all men equal, and in His own image; therefore, the Negro being the equal of the white man, the yellow, red and brown man, is capable of attaining to any heights reached by of these races in the domain of intellect. The Negro has done it, and he will do it again and again; despite the fact that the white man who writes the histories of nations has conveniently eliminated from their plans the achievements in scholarship and in other notable directions of Negroes who have contributed to the giants and greatness of the white nations of which they have formed a part. This narrowness and cowardice of the white historians will contend the Negro to write his own history and relied on Thousands Flock to Liberty Hall Thousands Flock to Liberty Hall missing pages, the suppression of which has robbed the Negro of his just need of praise and left him a beggar at the gate for white men a favor. There were as many notable acts of heroism performed by Negroes in all the wars of this Republic and in the late World War as were performed by white men but the historians, who have thus far recorded these happenings, have very conveniently forgotten to include the Negro part in them in any detail so that these histories (those now written and to be written must be regarded by all Negroes as one part truth and one parts lies and as very good material for a first-class bonfire because they defy the white face and damn with faint praise the Negroes, without whose and many of their white would have endured troubles—notably the late, but great war in which Negroes do greatly assisted in saving the day for white civilians and the white house of the world. J K B. One of the best arguments in favor of the passage of the bill to stop lynching is to be found in the present operative of the enacting clause in the Volstead act. The Congress shall have power to enforce this act by appropriate legislation. The Congress is functioning splendidly in enforcing the Volstead act of NAVIL Amendment and by the same token can make lynching in the South as odious to those who like that kind of sport as prohibition is to the whisker one who adhere the author of the Volstead act. There does not seem to be any doubt about the passage of this bill but one never will what may happen to one measure (continued from Page 2) amages the financial status in a day or an easy aid to the children of Israel by marching seven times around the walls of Jerusalem, took time and expense in retaining which he had to suffer reprieve, which is not natural in the law of trade. Strikes companies often make because of severe storms at sea remain in the harbor near a month before they can secure out that crossing loss of considerable money to them. In short in all summer it enterprises must be ups and downs. Laws at times as well as profits and those who would remain in the race must be prepared for the rewards when they come. I believe in soul. I believe in fortress that such is the soul of the Universal Negro living in it. It assures us and our world wide power and resources, that it regulates of the financial success of my the civil institution which hw grown out of it, it will survive. We are living in an economic age where everything is measured in terms of the dollar. But wonderful as is the industrial supremacy, wonderful as is the power of wealth, there is something that is more powerful than the power of wealth. There is something that is more powerful, and that is the soul of man, and it is because the U. I. A. has attired the soul life of the Negro that I bellve it will have a momentum that will be able to overcome every opposition. So that with this immense psychological force which has been released by the Hon Marcus Garvey, wise pilots and skillful guides can direct its destiny so that it will be reclaimed among the men. For as of the twentieth century working for the improvement of marksm Mr. G. E. Carter 8p. 4s Mr. E. Carter assistant to the President, General delivered a lengthy address in his eleventh city. Life he said, is but an execlent chance for expression, and man is given the opportunity to express it. How well he expresses this in life is wholly and solely dependent upon his rea of the threefold purpose for which he was born into the world. The life of every great man who has played in part well is summed up in three S. Sincerity, simplicity, simplicity. Continuing Mr. Carter, he desired to present two pictures under the caption. Beyond the man. He referred to Jesus Christ the greatest teacher who ever lived, who was placed on trial because he attacked the classes, and opposed those things that were dear to the classes because he stood for the masses, who went forth and promulgated his policies. He then pointed out the different groups of people who stood and beheld: Christ and wondered at His greatness, among these being those who dimmed Him because of His divine nature; those who thought of the wrongs they had heaped upon Him and that caused Him to come to the place of judgment, and who felt sorry for the part they had played. Those who had faith in Him and saw the greatness of His cause, and who understood the principles upon which He stood and who went forth, believing in Him. "The second picture I would present to you, said the speaker, is that of a man who came forth seeing the cause of his people with amity, and who, realizing that if he would be understood and would put over the program of his mission in the world, must make clear his plans to the people. This was a great leader, Marcus Garvey. I held him, and wondered how the cause which he espoused and the magnitude and grandeur of which amazed me could be put over. I held him and wondered how many men and women of his race would realize the principles for which he stood, and would go forth and say: "I will give my all that the cause may go on." I wondered as I held him and to pity him because of the heavy responsibilities resting upon his shoulders, not because of his inability, but rather because of the heartiness of the cross, and because of those who are going to crush him simply because he dared to have the courage to show them up in the light of wrong. And then I thought of him in great admiration, and I stood with love light in my in Congress that is intended to benefit the Negro *Negro* his *Civil Rights Bill*, the Blair Educational Bill, and many other measures which the promiscuere sought to put over in the earlier days, both had a larger hearing than the Dyer Bill on the rostrum and in the press. But they have gone from us forever and by some local nocc-pocus, in the form of an amendment or a series of them the at least attempt to remove the burden from the Negro may go the way of the others. But let us hope for the best. It doesn't cost any more. Last week we were in Washington D.C. through the courtesy of H. Martin. Angeorge, occupied a seat in the members' gallery of the House, represented yet to listen to the speech of H. L. C. Dyer on the Anti-Lynching measure for which he is a I counted just thirty-five members of Congress in their seats, all whom were writing letters or engaged in conversation with their colleagues or reading newspapers, while a few were apparently listening to the speaker. Compared with some events in history, which I had witnessed from the same vintage points in the early seventies, as a youngster and later, as a man when Samuel J. Randall, James G. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed were respectively speakers of the lower House, I thought this was about the day's session of the United States House of Representatives I had over attended. I but I gag.

Then I stood and I saw him in faith and by the eye of faith I understood why the cause he espoused went forth. It was because of his faith in God for God is love, and love never fails, and anything that is founded in truth and in love must go on, and somebody will carry it on." HON. R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hen R L. Poston, Assistant Secretary General, in his speech dwell upon the reasons that cause men to attempt to destroy the U N L V, the greatest movement, he said, ever incurred by the heart of man, recerved to the lust of position and power and place, and said that the cause causes men to go to any extent or any length. Sometimes, he said men will to gain leadership and leadership to bring heaven itself to the level of earth, they will attempt to honor the honor of one's daughter or to the doom of an entire race because of their quest, their last for a job. This base characteristic of some men Mr. Poston pointed out, may be found in the history of the various activities of the American Negro—in politics, in the church and in society. Men in these different spheres of life have sought to gain their individual advantage by ignoring every principle of decency or honor. It was a fight for the spoils of office and jobs, he said, that split in twain one of the strongest religious organizations in this county, and men who are obsessed with the desire to gain money at jobs will attempt to destroy anything that may interfere with their plans, men of the most unacupid character, as, for example, men, some of them, in our colleges and universities who are teaching that which they do not believe in, who are teaching our children to be cowardly and to harm their heads and to feel themselves inferior to other people." There are Negroes, said Mr. Porton who would sell the very soul of you for their selfish aims, and the white man throughout the world who believes in oppressing the black man has always been able to use and handle that kind of a Negro, because he has the thing with which to handle him. And why is this fight we are having on hand today? It is because His Excellency, Marcus Garvey, has hit out on a trail of honor and uprightness, a trail which the scheming, unprincipled white scoundrels and colored scoundrels cannot reach and drag him to the level where many Negro leaders have been dragged; then the white world discovered that, and when they found that he was interfering with their plans permanently to enalate the Negro, they set out within their hearts to destroy him; and to use as a means to destroy him they were going to take the jealous, traitorous leaders which this organization has shown up and bring them to their aid, in order to effect the destruction of one of the greatest men in whom God breathed the breath of life. (Applause.) And the question I wish to ask you tonight is: Are you going to let them do it? (Crisis of "No"). Here the speaker said that the press has brought the intelligence that all Europe is alarmed at the unity and the coming together of the natives of Africa the result of the propaganda set from Liberty Hall by His Excellent Marcus Garvey throughout the world. Friends" he went on to say "if we were half as united today as those people are in Africa now, we would need have no fear at all of our enemies. God knows, we can put a world of them to flight, and I assure you, in conclusion, the light is on it is on the time to a finish. We don't expect to let up until every second within the ranks and without is brought up on the level for the inspection of the people" (Loud Applause) At this point several telegrams were read as having been received from the various divisions of the U. N. L. A. in all parts of the country, as Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Canada, in each of which assurance was given that the members of these divisions stand solidly behind the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that their faith in his integrity is unimpaired and that they pledge their assistance, moral and financial, to him in his present trade. MARCUS GARVEY TELLS OF HIS ARREST Continued from Page 3 Improvement Association when every penny has been accounted for. They have more books in New York to find out about than to try to interfere with Marcus Carver. Now let me come down to the point in dispute. They say I have been arrested for fraudulent use of the mala—endevoting to sell stock for the Black Star Line or something of the kind. During May or sometime just year when I was away in the West Indies, those I left at headquarters changed the plans I left and as you all know, it was a deep-seated plot that I would never return to this country. The intention was that things should have been done here and that I not being allowed to return to this country, would have been blamed for everything that happened. The result was that some of the men we brought into the organization and some out of it did everything to keep me from returning to this country. The plans I laid they changed they destroyed, they entered into new arrangements, and did just as they liked and never notified me of what they were doing. I never knew what they did at headquarters until three days after I returned to New York, which was around the 15th of July. On my return to New York they were many at headquarters among my enemies who believed I would have returned to this country by the plots laid. When I came back to headquarters they had no destroyed the morale of the International Negro Improvement Association, they had so crippled and demoralized our branches all over the country, that there was but one thing for me to do, and that was to salvage the great International Negro Improvement Association that I had sacrificed so much for to build up before I left this country. The convention was just fifteen days away, they had not even made proper preparations for the convention, nothing had been done as far as preparations were concerned for such a big occasion. I had to pitch in and devote all my time to the drumming of the morale of the divisions on us to meet the convention and you say the kind of convention we had. Even though I had but fifteen days at my desk, we were able to draw a large number of people here for the convention on the first of August and the team came here until the 21st and we had such a successful and glorious time. I will interview on the list of of the organization, we had down certain tasks to put into operation, but I had still to contend with the disgruntled horses of the organization because of the ungrateful relationship exists. between them and the parent body. I will work by correspondence and arrange to revive them and bring them back actively into the fold of the great organization. All my time from the convention up to the present moment was devoted absolutely to the bringing about of a proper state of organization. Some of the people who conducted the organization during my absence had made plans to wreck the organization and get away with the apology, believing that I could not go back to the country so that I would be blamed. The bad faith in themselves, because even when the convention was going on you saw how they were glad to resign or to get out because they knew what they had done and they were afraid of the consequences. Immediately after the rising of the convention one of those who had resigned came to me for their back pay because even that they had not had the ability to get for themselves. Before I left I had to work for their salaries. I went away, and they saddled the organization with big debts which on my return I found had to be liquidated. After the convention they came and prophesied in the office that if I were able to keep the organization afloat for one month after the convention I would be a wonderful man. They calculated that they would have been able to deal by the organization, and all the irregular business that was done if the absence would have been blamed on me and covered over. They went out propheying that the organization would fail in a month; but nevertheless immediately after the convention when push and energy were placed behind the movement we brought the movement 1,000 per cent up to its present strength, and when they found out that we were in an independent position and were laying plans to the bigger success of the movement for this year the fellows got disappointed. Now the question of the African ship, the "Phyllie Wheatley" That was arranged for, as you know when I was not here I never booked one passage, although I left instructions Vigor of Youth in a New Discovery A Question of Honor Now they charge me with defrauding the mails and appropriating money. I am willing to face this court and the courts of Hell and let it be proved that I have stolen from any man. I am too honorable at heart and too deeply concerned in the welfare and interests of my people to take a penny from any man (Applause). I have enough ability. I have enough energy to put it over for myself anywhere. I do not want to rob anybody. I can make something out of nothing and those who know the growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association know that from nothing we have become a power everywhere (Applause). Why should I wait till this hour to take a thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars from the Universal Negro Improvement Association when hundreds of thousands have passed through my control? I challenge any man inside of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or outside of it at any time to show where Marcus Garvey has ever appreciated the money he started this account, let him be treasurer, let him be secretary or anybody. I challenge the entire world to show me where I have ever asked for a penny of the people a money in my own interest. I have no cause to do it, because I am man enough to "paddle my own canoe" and carry myself through the world without robbing others. The man who steals is the fellow who has no confidence in his own ability—is the fellow who is unable to do for himself, therefore he steals the labor of others. I have no cause to steal from any one, because I have no doubt of my ability. I have no doubt that we shall put this African program over, and it must go over (Applause). I do not care what they say and what they do; put me in jail, put me on the gallows, put me in the electric-chair and the program shall go over. (Applause). I pledge myself between heaven and earth, between Hell and Heaven that there is going to be a fight to the finish. They have tried to impugn my character in every way so as to create suspicion in the minds of the race and therefore bring about the downfall of the movement. We know from what angle the opposition comes, not only from a few individuals that we know, but governments are involved, capitals are involved, organizations are involved. All the troubles we have had on our ships have been caused because men were paid to make the trouble by certain organizations calling themselves Negro Advancement Associations. They paid men to dismantle our machinery and otherwise damage it so as to bring about the downfall of the movement; but I say, "A righteous cause is bound to live, and among the many that will live will be the Universal Negro Improvement Association; it shall go on forever." Confidence in U. N. I. A. Unshaken I have to you have exhibited in the Universal Negro Improvement Association right along. It is marvellous to see the way of the New Negro. Why, if it were a white institution published in the papers this morning, whether it be a bank or some great clearing house, with the reverses presented to the public as was done of the Black Star Line this morning you would have had their offices crowded all day; a great run would have been on the bank. But we are such new Negroes and know their objects so well that not even one Negro for the whole day came and asked anything about it. (Applause). But on the contrary men and women came up and paid their dues and paid their assessment taxes and other obligations to the organizations and said let the work go on. (Applause). What are you going to do with a people so determined? You can lie about them in the newspapers but it will have no effect. Some of the newspapers are worried. Just a few minutes ago one of their representatives came to me and said, "Now, Mr. Garvey, since the Black Star Line has failed what are you going to do?" I said, "Who told you that the Black Star Line had failed?" That is what they had been looking for all the time but they will have to go a long way to see anything connected with the Universal Improvement Association fall, because it is the spirit of the people and that cannot fall except the people die. (Great applause) United States of Africa and all nations deal with their traitors. France during the war dealt with her traitors. England dealt with her traitors. They were governments absolute. We are not a government yet, but we will be a government absolute in a short while freedom of India, the privilege of dress. He spoke displayed a warm of the Universal Association which represented the Movement Cannot Fail So I want you to realize that we have had reverses. We do not hide them from you, you know we have had reverses and you know the cause of them. When we started out it was a movement of one person or a dozen persons, now it is movement of many, it is a movement where we must have different men for different positions, and it is not possible that you can find the right man at the right time you want him for the right position. We have to try him and change as we go along for some one else with more experience. Other people have had the same experience and we must make up our minds to have the same. So that you will realize that this great movement has absolutely no failure about it, because, as I said a while ago, when it fails the people die, and here is one Negro who is going to the first before the Universal Negro Improvement Association dies. A Warning to Enemies Now, I would advise my good white friends to stop carrying out the war of three treaties. Nealies because they are going to get burned along with them. We have nothing against the white if they attend to their own business and allow Negroes to attend to thirts, but if they go and interfere with our business, what they get they must take. We are not interfering with their business, what they do down Wall Street we know nothing about and we do not even take enough interest in them to publish them in The Negro World. Why then should they interfere with us in their papers when they know nothing about us. They have no stock in our corporation, they are not members and have never paid any dues. (Laughter) The questions they have come and asked me a financial member of the organization would not have asked, and they expect me to answer them. I repeat, if they will attend to their own business they will get on much better and have a better relationship with Negroes, and especially new Negroes, than to interfere with us in our determination to free ourselves industrially, economically, socially educationally, religiously and politically. Eight for Rights Is On The explanation I have to give about the Black Star Line is more than I can give in one lecture. I will continue the series on Sunday night, and I want you to turn out and bring your friends. Suffice it to say tonight that the fight for our rights is on and will never stop until Gabriel blows his horn. (Applause) They had a splendid example about two years ago in attacking the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You remember when Kiliros attacked us and through that attack we multiplied in membership, every night we just doubled our membership, and now while we have 4,000,000 members today, since they have so maliciously published things against us in the four corners of the world, I believe we are going to treble our members. In another twelve hours all the 800 divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, not only in this country, but all through the West Indies, Central and South America, and more than all, all over Africa will have gotten the news that the fight is on. Africa has started to beelch fire already, and somehow) is smelling the smoke. So that if they think they can cripple this movement they make a big mistake. We know their intentions to mod up the leader or the most prominent to ridicule and call him by all kind, of names, so that the people will discredit him and then they can better handle the situation, but we are accustomed to all of that now. They say that I call myself Monee. I never called myself by that name. They say call myself the Emperor of Africa. I'm not that yet; if I were Emperor of Africa at this hour there would be 'weeping and gnashing of teeth'. But if I do not become Emperor of Africa in my day, my children or your children may have the chance to run for the job if it becomes elective at the first, and then since we are writing history and all these things that they are doing to us will be recorded, those children will turn the pages and I will be sorry for the retribution. I would advice my good white friends of this generation not to pile up trouble for the future generation of their own, because a Negro boy of today is going to meet with the alien boy of tomorrow, and I trust they will not write down anything in that history for that boy to see and get angry about in another 50 years. So the best we can do is to treat all men with respect and to meet out justice to all men so that none of us will have our revenge, though they impugn the idea of an African Republic, some day they may be compelled to recuse it. The put it in inverted commas, as if something to be laughed at. They laughed at the idea of an American Republic 150 odd years ago, but today the American Republic is the greatest republic in the world. History repeats itself, if not in 100 years it may be in 500 years, but I believe it is going to repeat itself in a short while now, and as we have the United States of America today, we shall by our effort, by our labor and by our determination have in a short while a United States of Africa. (Applause.) And why? Because of these injustices that are done to us. They do not know that when they publish these wicked, malicious libelous things about us as a race they only make us more determined to fight, and, as I have said before, I have never fought yet, but I am going to fight now, and I am going to fight on with gloves or without gloves, hitting above the belt and below the belt. (Laughter). It is a fight to the finish. You all know the people who are responsible in great measure for all this trouble. They are going to die and leave children behind them, and their children will live to see the ENTHUSIASM IS ONE OF THE BIG KEYS TO SUCCESS INDIFFERENCE never changed pig iron into steel and steel into engines; nor perfected radio-activity for well-ness and private use. ENTHUSIASM is the great energizer of the human brain. From the time Marcus Garvey was twenty, he hold an enthusiastic vision of great accomplishment for himself and his race. He believed in himself and his race. Mr. Nogro 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 race's development, but above all the Dollar must accompany these otherwise we can't get very far. United States of Africa and all nations deal with their traitors. France during the war dealt with her traitors. England dealt with her traitors. They were governments absolute. We are not a government yet, but we will be a government absolute in a short while I feel sure, and then we will take care of our traitors. So that is why I am not worried about them now. We have a lot of time before us, that is where the Universal Negro Improvement Association has the advantage. We have time because we are a movement, not an individual. An individual die, but a movement cannot die so long as the people live. So that, although the members die one by one, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will still live. Now they think they can destroy Marcus Garvey. They do not know that there are some little Marcus Garvey growing every day, and they are only waiting to know the time when Marcus Garvey is really not here. That is why you do not see some of them now. But when Marcus Garvey is permanently out of the way, either in jail, in the electric chair or on the gallows, you will see what takes place throughout the universe in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Marcus Garvey are not only here, but they are everywhere, and nowhere more than in Africa. You have not read one-hundredth part of the news that is available from Africa. They won't publish it, they won't tell you what is going on, but they are alarmed, and all this commotion about my arrest is a thing that is well planned. The French people, the English people, have been working for it and have been talking for it. It is an attempt to discredit me and send propaganda all over the world. The Associated Press and Reuter's have sent it all over the world and the British press is relaying it all over the world, that Marcus Garvey is arrested for fraud, so that the people will say he was only a cheat, and drop out of the movement. U. N. I. A Counteracts False Przenośne But our cables are going too. These are not days of mysteries for the Negro. Once when the Negro saw a steam engine he asked what big elephant was that but the present day Negro knows the use of everything, he knows the use of the machine gun, the Krupp gun the aerophane, he knows how to distribute bombs and he knows when they are to explode too, he knows the use of the cable, he knows the use of everything. Members Display Blandid Spirit Members Display Blended Spirit Our news has gone all over the country. Don't be afraid. I have to thank you for the aplendid spirit you have demonstrated and for what you are doing here and just what you are doing here the membership is doing all over the world. You cannot kill, you cannot dampen the ardor and the spirit of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Asc, and we are ready at any minute for reverence as well as for success. On Sunday night I will speak to you further on this subject, that you may be satisfied of the cause of the sensational things about my arrest. "Why" they arrest men every hour for doing worse things than I am alleged to have done. Those fellows down in Wall Street rob a bank every minute they hold up people and do all kinds of things, but the Negro when he does anything—especially when he is a prominent Negro or one who is doing something—the ridicule him and hold him up to contempt. "They claim I have defrauded somebody. I do not know who that somebody is, but I suppose I will find out when the case comes up for trial. I thank you for your presence tonight and trust to meet you on Sundays." (Great Appearance) DR. BINGH, OF INDIA, SPEAKS Dr. S.

Of course, you understand that there is no degree in any kind of work—but there will be positions for clerks, storekeepers, managers, superintendents and so on. of this great and mighty movement." (Great applause.) At Harper's Ferry John Brown said: "I sang, me if you will, but banging me will not stop this," meaning the redemption of the Negro from bondage. And his words proved true. In like manner the persecution of Marcus Garvey, the slandering of Marcus Garvey, will never stop the spirit of progress toward freedom, political, economic and industrial that has come upon the new Negro of today. Never! (Crise of "No!") Now, any white man, I care not who he may be, who will stand forth and try to hinder a defenseless race of people from lifting up their heads and getting up from the ditch and standing upon their feet as other people, is not a man I ask our fellow white brethren members of a race of people who have gained honors from the hand of Jehovah, and whom God has favored with a wisdom far beyond any other race in ages past—ask them, will they, in the face of this, continue to curse, damn, ostracise and prosecute us, your fellow-men, merely because God created us of a different hue from them? It is in vain if they will, for despite all the persecutions and prosecutions against us, yet we live, and we have decreed in our hearts to be men, and nothing shorter than that. (Great applause.) Let me say in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, I speak emphatically from the depths of my soul. The only man who unfurled the Negro liberty for the Negro people of the world is the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and he has said, "God help me, I will lead my people out." Since that pronouncement it seems that all the devils in hell were let loose that they might bark at and fear at and seek to undermine the foundations of this great and noble institution that has been reared in our interests by this great man, but, thank God, that 4,000,000 Negroes scattered throughout the world have vowed that they will honor and labor, unceasingly, that the honor of this race of ours may be maintained and respected everywhere, and that the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be adopted by our people in whatever climate, or under whatever flag they may be, and recognized as a living force and a powerful agency by all nations and all races securing to the Negro justice and right. Then hurt to the bresee the Rod, the Black, and the Green" (Great applause.) Mr. Boston said he had been suffering considerably from a cold, and had been working hard on it, to make it possible for him to be present at the meeting "As I have said in the past," he continued, "the fight is on (cries of 'Yes'), and I am not thinking so much tonight of any allon race as I am of those traitors, those enemies within our own race." He alludes to those opponents of the U. N. I. A. who had recently allied themselves with an organization reported to be revolutionary in its tendencies, and whose objects are to destroy this government. These people, he said, had been active in opposing Marcus Garvey, because they look upon him as beirn an enemy to their program. The U. N. I. A. he declared, realized that America is not a perfect government, especially in its treatment of the colored people. At the same time it realizes that many blessings are given the Negro in this country under the Red, the White, and the Blue, that are denied him elsewhere, "and," he continued, "because the U. N. I. A. refused to ally itself with an organization whose purpose is to destroy this government, its opponents became angered and went out with blood in their eyes, and they are trying to ruin this organization of care, which makes more to the Negro than any other organization ever brought into existence by man. But let me tell you, at the foundation of this organization is right, and God yet reigns in heaven.

He spoke very feelingly and displayed a warm interest in the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which he said stood for and represented the same cause as the Gandhi movement. "This great organization" (meaning the U. N. I. A) the speaker said, "is amalgamated unknown to you with the great movement of the Indian people, and I want to assure you that in the fight that you are putting up here today for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, you have at your back 350,000,000 Indiana." (Tumultuous applause.) This great movement, he declared, cannot fail because it interprets the true principle of brotherhood. Continuing, he said, "Mahatma Gandhi and your honorable President General (Marcus Garvey) are two men that the world cannot understand. These two men have thrown upon the shoulders of our white brothers a heavy load that they do not know how to resist." In conclusion he appealed to the members of the U. N I A to stand by their leader. He as a stranger in this country was willing to work step by step with him and was willing to sacrifice himself for him with the hope that in the near future the Red, the Black and the Green will float on the land of Airce. (Great applause) REV. DR. DUVALL SPEAK8 Rev Dr Duvall, Commissioner of the State of New York for the U. N. A. said in part I am indeed pleased to have the opportunity of speaking here at this time. These are moments when we must come together. We are at a point where we must prove to the civilized world that we have a right to a standing in the world among the groups of humanity, (Applause). We are at a place where we must stand for the principle that one of our own race and nationality shall lead us to victory shall bring us up out of the ditch (crises if "That a right"), or shall we submit to the leadership of some other alien race? (A chorus of voices, No!) We are at the very point when that thing is going to be tested, and I want to go on record as saying that before the living died in heaven, and in the presence of all mankind, put down for one man who will stand by my chief (Marcus Garvey) until the old ship insists (Great applause). The time is now for us to think soberly and decide what we shall do. I want to any that Marcus Garvey has done more—and I know something about this country and about the world, having traveled around it twice—has done more than any other one man has ever done to show up the crooks in our race (great applause) and he who would lead and lead honestly must expect to be fought. Marcus Garvey has done more in the last four years than any one Negro in recent times to redeem his people from under the cause of prejudice and economic and industrial slavery. I know every great movement that has been inaugurated in the last fifty years in this country and in the world for the redemption of the Negro and Marcus Garvey is the only Negro who had the far-reaching vision that it was proper that he should reach out his arms around the entire Negro peoples of the world and bring them together that they may stand as a unit for themselves in the world a great movement. That is why he is the only one who has taken such a grand stand; that is why he is going to succeed, regardless of crooks regardless of anything that may come upon him (Applause) When Jesus Christ was bearing upon Him the wight of the world, he bowed upon His knees and uttered this prayer "Oh, Father, a pray that man may be one." Want fo to say to you that this prince of men is the only leader of the Nrgro race who came forward and said "Let the unity of four hundred million Negroes be the slogan Hon. R. L. Poston Speaks Mr Perfet then gestured to a wooden painting he saw once and then art gallery in Bexley. The painter he showed, a little man dressed high upon a mountain top. Below the man were dark, dreary clouds, and before him lay a pit resembling the bottomless pit of Hell. The man was shown to be slowly wailing, and written beneath the picture were the words: "Though I walk through the valley and the shadow of death." The guide who pointed out the painting to him asked him whether he saw any body in it. He looked at it several times and finally, said to the guide, "He Then, he continued, the guide went away, and so impressive was the picture that I continued to look at it. After a while I walked over to the guide and told him: "Yes; there is hope in that picture"—for at the top of it was the Cross, the Cross of Christ, on which the Saviour was crucified. Friends, wherever that Cross is represented, wherever the principles of love and marry and justice are represented, the enemies of right will not succeed. And I repeat to you tonight; the light is on. Let every man and woman and girl and boy rally to the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Great applause.) LADY NENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS SPEAKS Lady Davis began by saying though she had a severe cold she felt she would be present to her duty, a paramount duty, if she did not speak tonight and declare to the world that she stands by the side of Marcus Gay, vey; for, as she said, "I know he is right." (Loud applause.) Continuing in emphatic, measured words, Miss Davis said: "I give voice tonight to the 2,000,000 Negro women members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, and I ensure Hill Excellency, the Hon. Marons Garvey, that we stand wholeheartedly with him. (Applause.) As woman was the last at the Cross, so the women of my race stand by this noble man, and will stand by him in this hour of trouble to the very last. (Applause.) "I am proud to say that no woman has thus far proven a traitor to this cause. (Applause.) And so in fighting the enemy we are fighting those of the male sex, and we the new woman; we the women militant, are willing to fight side by side of the Hon. Marcus Gavery." (Ringing applause.) Radium Ore Now Being Used by Many Chronic Sick COLUMBIA CITY ONE DOLLAR EIGHTEEN DOLLARS 240 GANDHI, INDIAN LEADER, WAGES WAR OF 'SOUL FORCE' AGAINST BRITISH Hindus, 250,000,000 Strong, Stolidly Behind Non Co-operationist Rebel in Systematic Revolt Against English Imperialism NEW YORK Jan 7 War by "Soul Force" Whoever thought there was nothing new under the sun? If Edison and Marcom and the other wizards had not already upset that idea certainly we would be entitled to throw it to the winds at a moment when we see the great Hindu people deliberately turn from all military traditions and undertake to make war by the use of spiritual force Yet that is precisely the sort of war that Mahatma monadnae in Zimbabwe is engaging against the British Empire, and the masses of the 250,000,000 Hindus are following him, despite the insistence of the Mohammedan hotheads in declaring for a republic and resorting to violence. What is more, the Hindus by this process, are delivering amusing blows against the citadel of English materialism. They are starting British workmen and taking away the incomes of British investors and forming even greater burdens on the already strained backs of the British tax payer. Even the military strategists are beginning to find that soul resistance properly applied, is strategy of the highest sort. The Meaning of Satyagraha More than a year ago I told my readers of the great task Gandhi had entered upon, in undertaking to mobilize the masses of India behind his doctrine of Satyagraha. He knew they would have no chance in open warfare with the British; but he saw that mass negation could balk aggression. And at this moment, when he has shown the Prince of Wales some samples of Satyagraha, it might be worth while to recall just what it is and how he came to evolve it. He has thus epitomized it: 'It's root meaning is holding on to the truth. Hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. I discovered in the earliest stages that the pursuit of the truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent, but that he must be weaned—or worse by patience and sympathy. Patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean the vindication of the truth, not by infliction of suffering of one's opponent, but on one's own self.' The strangest feature of this peculiar doctrine—peculiar in a world that has so long believed in material force—is that it does not come from a mere dreamer who hid himself away to evolve it, as so many philosophers have done. It is the product of a keen man of affairs and legal learning. In fact, it was the British themselves who gave him the opportunity to study how to combat them. Educated in England One of the methods adopted by the British rulers of India has been to stress promising young men from conservative families, have them educated in England and take them back to India to be pillars of the empire among the natives. Gandhi, who was the son of the prime minister of one of the native States, was thus chosen and sent to London, where he passed through law school and was admitted to the bar. He was also shown many of the social favors that are part of the English system of winning the regard of subject peoples. The effect of his studies and mingling with society was, however, the opposite of the intention. He concluded that British justice, as applied at home, made a mookery of the imperial system as applied to the dependencies, and that the English gentleman and gentlewoman were creatures of selfishness and hypnosis. Going back to Bombay, instead of becoming a pillar of the empire, he became a champion of those who had occasion to fight officialdom in the courts. Natives who wanted independence for their country came to look upon him as a leader. 'It was 25 years ago that opportunity came for him to gain fame throughout India. Many natives had been induced to go to South Africa to work for the white settlers and mine owners. Word reached the homeland that they had Thirty years ago Mr. C. Leavenson, a widely known Kapusa drugstreet, discovered a simple, easy to take prescription for Aspergillus.

He was subjected to mob attacks and threatened with deportation but he refused to be intimidated and taught his compatriots the way to win their rights was not to fight but to refuse to work under improper conditions. In the end he won part of victory and returned to India as a national hero. It was in this campaign that he revived the doctrine of Katyagraha and he began to teach it in India as the means of meeting British force. He had gathered a great body of disciples from the great war interrupted his work, believing it to be the greatest mission he could reward and hating and fearing Germany because of the experience of Indian troops with German in the Chinese Boxer campaign turned to help the empire. There were however many elements which he intended to propaganda against Britain and made trouble. Helped By British Blunders It was after the war that the opportunities of Gandhi came and that opportunity was the largest to British blundering. It took seriously the idea of self-determination for peoples on which British protegands had so much stress as a means of breaking the home front of Germans. But despite the great sacrifices of treasure and lives the peace conference brought nothing to the Hindus while to the Mohammedans came the tremendous shock of the seizure of sacred constantople by Western Christians. Complaints and great unrest arose. The bureaucracy replied not with freedom but with loss. The Rowlatt code of laws providing for severest repression of free speech and as the educated Indians knew living in the face of Magna Charta and the Bill of Rights, was put into effect. From one end of India to the other Gandhi invigored against these measures. Hindu hated him as a new Mossiah while the Mohammedans turned from being the most loyal people in the Dominion into the most disatisfied. It was then that Gandhi resorted to the 'harartal' the general strike of whole cities in protest, the weapon used so effectively to spoil the tour of the Prince of Wales. Its first application, in March, 1919, so frightened the British authorities in the Punjab that they forbade its removal and arrested Gandhi's representatives. This section provoked widespread demonstrations of a revolutionary sort, which threw the British into a panic and led to the Amritsar massacre, that terrible occasion when General Dyer led a force into an unarmed crowd in a walled enclosure and had them set on fire and use crooked knives on men, women and children until more than 1,800 had been killed or wounded. Spread of "Soul Force" That was the real beginning of the wan tream so force" and the material power of the British Empire. Sir Michael O'Dwyer, Governor-General of the Punjab, just before the massacre, had called in one Raizada Bhagat Ram, a lawyer of Amritsar, and demanded to know what was behind the "hartal" movement. "To my mind," said Raizada, "it is due to the soul force of Mr Gandhi." Sir Michael raised his fist and retorted "Raizada Sahib, remember there is another force greater than the soul of Mr Gandhi." The "other force" was tried by General Dyer at Amritsar Dyer has since been punished. O'Dwyer and other superiors who upheld Dyer have been removed, the British Parliament has granted partial self-government; Lord Reading has exercised all possible arts of conciliation. And Gandhi's "soul force" has marched on with every recession of the British, until, at last, in desperation they have again sought to use that "greater force" of which O'Dwyer spoke. But they are unable to stop what has been described as a "creeping prairie fire." Now at last we are seeing a real trial of the two forces. Gandhi was forbidden to hold his All-India Congress at Amhadabad, and the Moslems were forbidden to hold their Khilafat Congress simultaneously. Ten thousand arrests were made throughout India in order to impress the leaders with the danger of continuing with their "outlaw" associations. The President of the All-India Congress and the son of Gandhi were among those taken. But the congresses were held. They stood by Gandhi and defied the imperial authorities to do their worst. Mohammedana for Bloodshed It is necessary to realize, however, that the representatives of the 70,000-000 Mohammedans have not been real supporters of the Gandhi doctrine of non-resistance. They have co-operated with him until they could make their plans for a test of brute strength. It is they who have undertaken to erect a United States of India by setting up an opposition government and conducting a gorilla warfare. They really split with Gandhi when they started the Moplah rebellion. British propaganda has tried to represent this rising as the work of martyrs; but it is to be noted that they hastened to put into jail the All brothers who had been the chief leaders of the Gandhi movement in the Punjab. It was this warlike Mohammedan element that Gandhi defeated when they attempted to get the All-India Congress to abandon his war by self-suffering and resort to force. The British so far have found no way of meeting the soul war. They have been able about down and hunt down the Moplaha with more or less success, and to put the All brothers in prison. In Egypt where another Mohammedan rebellion has been tried they have been able to arrest Zagloul Pasha and send him into exile at Jebou. But how can a gandhi be reached? To make a martyr out of him would only serve his purpose. HON. CAPT. E. A. GAINES AND HON. GEO. D. CREESE VISIT VANCOUVER, B. C. Vancouver has been wonderfully blessed during the month of December in having the pleasure of entertaining the High Commissioner for Canada and the Minister of Legions of the Univer- nal Negro Improvement Association. Repression a Boomerang The representation that was tried as a means of saving the tour of the Prince of Wales has proved a booming. Incalculate alone more than 3,500 agitation all the leaders upon whom hands could be laid were arrested before the Prince arrived on Christmas Eve. But the authorities who went to take these men and women to prison found themselves welcomed and the arrests were made the same for celebration not alone by the apprehended ones, but by their families and followers. And the result was only to drive the agitation a bit deeper underground and make it more frequent. Where there had been agitators by thousands they appeared by tens of thousands as peddlers, as religious devotees in accees of disguise. They effectively appeased one of what had happened and aided the anger the bureaucracy might have foreseen. A leader in prison was the best advertisement for the soul force idea, and an idea cannot be shot down by a machine gun. The Prince went through Curitiba streets that had many decorations but few agitators. Meant while the soul force of Gandhi is having its most devastating effect far away India runs in rage rather than the goods of Lima province. They refuse to patterize railroads owned by British shareholders. They refuse to work British milled and sold and in load British ships. They refuse to pay taxes or do anything. And the strain on Britain is becoming very tense. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gives warning that $800,000,000 must be saved or there will be a deficit in the budget. Unless interest on the debt, pensions and unemployment allowances are to be reduced that means that ordinary expenses of government must be halved. There is no way of decreasing the taxes the people, in fact, are strongly demanding reduction of their burdens. How then can an expensive campaign in India to be financed? How long will it be before the distressed British taxpayer will be mustering that something shall be done to appease the soul force of Gandhi (Copyright, 1921, by Eugene J. Young) THE DEATH OF CHARLES JOHNSON, WHO WAS SHOT DEFENDING HIS LANDLORD To the Editor of The Negro World: Charles Johnson, a member of the U. A. Legion, New York Division, I. N. I. A., who lived at 161 West 140th street, also janitor of said building, was asked by the agent who had just collected $800 for rent to accompany him to the train station. On their way between Seventh and Eighth avenue on 140th street they were held up by two men. The $800 was taken from this white agent. The hold-up men, seemingly recognized Johnson and were afraid that he would squelch shot him three times. Johnson was taken to the Harlem Hospital, where he died. was the "school" six children and was indeed a loving father. The funeral services were held at Liberty Hall, 120 West 135th street, at 1:30 p.m. The Legion, Motor Corps, Black Cross Nurses and Juvenile Corps, turned out in full force to pay tribute to the deceased brother, throngs of members and friends followed in the procession. We led the corps a few blocks down, then opened ranks and came to right hand salute, while the corps passed through, after which we came to close order and marched back to Liberty Hall, led by the Black Star Line Band under its noble leader, Prof William Isles.

THE HOUR FOR UNIVERSAL ACTIVITY The hour has strained for universal activity among the Negro people on the building up of a great industrial house for the Negro to continue to depend on the good goods of the world because we are now living in a selfish, material every place is looking out for itself.

The world is large enough for him to see all other places. After now opens up a golden field of oppose every progressive Negro who desires his own advancement. The hour has struck for universal activity among the Negro peoples of the world, it is for them now to concentrate on the building up of a great industry of their own, it is of no use for the Negro to continue to depend on the good耕牧 of the other lands of the world because we are now living in a selfish, material age, when each and every place is looking out for itself. ALL NEGRO PEOPLE SHOULD UNITE THEIR FORCES Because of the scarcity of all that tends to human happiness and human comfort, the Negro should at least make a desperate effort to build up great industrial plans and institutions of the Negro people. Africa now opens up a golden field of opportunity for each and every progressive Negro who desires his own advancement.

MAY YET INHERIT EARTH Chinese, Hebrews, "British" Indians, Egyptians, Negroes Retain Identity, While Western Races Lose Theirs in "Melting Pot" and Wars By FREDERIC J. HASKIN WASHINGTON. Jan b -With India harassing the British Government by means of its non-co-operation movement, with Egypt in turmoil with the Negroes forming a world association under Marcus Garvey with the Jewish Zionist movement well under way, and with the Chinese patiently but stubbornly asserting their right to be let alone, inviting all the other nations of the earth to go out the open door and close it after them, this seems truly to be an epoch of self-assertion on the part of oppressed peoples. The dominant nations, absorbed in their own debts and wars, seem hardly aware of the widespread and spontaneous character of this movement toward self-assertion on the part of the peoples who have woken yokes for centuries. Servitude, exploitation, personal and national prejudice, contempt these peoples have all known some or all of these oppressions Barring the Hobrens, who are a case unique they have all been known as inferior or subjected races. Signs of Awakening Now all of them, but especially the Indians and Chinese are showing signs of growing inchoate strength. They lack organization unified purpose and they probably will lack these things for generations yet. But it is in these things that they are growing. And the strength they have is in an immense racial vitality and persistence. While the dominant nations of the earth are becoming vast polygonal mounds in which the best brains tend to decrease, while the poorer increase the Chinese and East Indians retain their racial identity and homogeneity. They are conquered owned and exploited by alien races they are carved into spheres of influence and protections; they are subjected to measure and famine and oppression and yet be tending steadily to the business of raising babies and crops they have remained distinctive people with distinctive ideas. Racial Identity An Englishman or an American these days may be a Mediterranean or a Nordic. He may be of an old indigenous family or he may be an immigrant of a few years ago. The streets of all the principal cities of the great western nation are streets of Babel. In them swarm vast motley crowds of men who have nothing in common except their hunger for land and money. Melting pots where the ingredients do not fuse are these great cities, so that an American or an Englishman may be anything. But when you say a Chinese or an East Indian, you know exactly what you mean. The word summons a picture of a distinctive kind of man. These peoples are united in aspiration and purpose because they are uniform in blood and tradition. That is one great advantage they have over the nations which now dominate the earth. When you say Great Britain you mean a government, and governments have always been transient and troubled things. But when you say China or India you mean a people, solid and homogeneous, and that is a thing as real and permanent as a continent or an ocean Try This Simple Test One Reason Why HILL'S C. B. Q.

War and Industry The reasons why these peoples persist retain their racial identity and multiply while the occidental nations lose their identity and die out at the top seem to be chiefly two. In the first place they do not go in for war and in the second place they have no talent for industry. War, as has been pointed out a great many times in the last few years, really threatens the destruction of Western civilization The Napoleonic wars weakened France enormously, and are said to have reduced the average height of Frenchmen several inches The Franco-Prussian war was a further blow France has not, in any one of human endeavor, trained the greeneress she had before the wars. The Civil War is the effect on our own South is one of the most striking examples of the result of prolonged conflict. But all of these wars we minor affairs compared to the one you passed. We know that it killed 10,000,000 good young men, that it occupied the principal European nations in every department of hum in endeavor and that it left them all in a backwash of reaction by destroying the young blood which is the only possible source of progress, but its effects are yet to be seen. What would be their strength and status after another world war? Poeples Who Won't Fight Meantime the anterior peoples steadily refuse to impair their racial vitality by killing each other. The Chinese for example will not fight. They are supposed to be carrying on a civil war now, but it is so mild that few men are killed in it while communications and business are is interfered with. During the world war three Chinese were used as laborers, but it was found impossible to make combat troops out of them. The Chinese in some respects show great courage, but the murder of the fellow human is simply a business for which they have no stomach. Among the East Indians there is more of a warlike tradition, but the present non-operative movement of Gandhi has for its basis that force must not be used the enemy's blood must not be spilled. The invader must be expelled by simply refusing to owe any of his commands or to co-operate in his undertakings. In addition to escaping the scourge of war, there oppressed peoples have held aloof from the industrial system. In China there is said to be a strong feeling against its introduction, and in favor of building up the Chinese civilization on its ancient foundations, so to speak. The Gandhi movement in India is also, to some extent, a revolt against the industrial system. For example, the people are urged not to buy factory-made clothing, but to return to the making of their native fabrics by hand. source of weakness There can be little doubt but that the industrial system, as at present constituted, is like war a source of race weakness to the dominant nations. It has very little influence in the past fifty years, and it may yet be made a sound basis for civilized development, but at the present moment as any one may see for himself, it is in a badly disorganized state. In the first place it has produced a class consciousness which results in an ever-growing social unrest, with immense waste of life and energy through strikes and revolutions. In the second place, it has become badly entangled in its own mechanism so that all of the industrial nations are subject to periodical spells of hard times, due to the failure of the system to work properly. The whole occidental world is now thrown out of gear by the failure of the industrial system to function Thus the oppressed peoples, being largely free from organised war and organized industry, have advantages in the conservation of their racial vitality, which are already telling and which will tell even more in the future. It would seem that the dominant nations had better learn something from the oppressed ones while the learning is still good. A couple more world wars, and the old biblical prophecy may come to have a new and vivid meaning. 'Blessed are the mock, for they shall inherit the earth.' HOLDS EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION Bradentown, Fla. Jan. 4. The Emancipation celebration at Lincoln Academy Monday, January 2, 1922, under the auspices of the Woman's Civic and Improvement Club, Mrs. J W Wesley president, Mrs. Rohalia Roxell, secretary, is gone down in history as being among the best entertainments from a literary point of view that have been in our city in a number of years. The program was carried out, each playing a part, and then an appeal for members was made by the president, Mrs. J W Wesley, followed by a response to the club by Rev J B Lee, in which he said, "Men, stick by the women." Then Mr H T Boesselle, representative of the North Carolina Union Mutual Insurance Co., arose and said, "It is well said that we should stick by our women, but there is no better time than right now to prove that we will stick by the women," and he suggested that the men present make-up enough money for the Woman's Civic Improvement Club to take out two shares in the Black Star Line, and the suggestion was put over the top and thumbs were returned to the men for their kindness.

BY ORDER NEW YORK DIVISION, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President. SOFT PEDALING FOR PEACE The Folly of Nations, by Frederick Palmer Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, 1921. The war drums throb no longer though the battle flags are furled. Their martial music has been "changed by request" to the soft cadence of a funeral dirge, and all the world prays sniffingly at present for deliverance from the sine of patriotism and vanguory. That veteran war correspondent Mr Frederick Palmer has given us his Musings on the Mutations of Marx, in the key of Penitence which would be interesting reading if Messrs Wella arroer, Gibbs and Irwin had not preceded him on the concert stage. To one who has read Mr Palmer's great polaric agaust war The Last Shot, written early in 1914, the outbreak of the great war it is somewhat of a shock to listen to the childish treble which has taken the place of the powerful bass of the earlier days. It is another proof that men grow old It isn't that friend Palmer's argument is wrong, it is that it is so wacky. He uses the soft pen, when he needs the full diapason. It is as tough the old man's fires have burnt low. And no lily-handed touch on the collar of steel clad Mara will check that monster in his mad career The impressions of war which Mr Palmer gives us from his wide experience in Turkey Greece the Philippines and Manchuria are valuable as first-hand records. He knows the dirt and cruelty the whoop-las and the lies the cynical indifference of statemen drunk with power to the interes they invoke. He sees them through a haze of pathetic optimism and futile sentimentality and he attempts to analyze them with the means at his command. But the deep underlying causes seem to escape him altogether. Imperialism which puts the war making powers of the modern state in the hands of those who own the earth and its products and sends its millions of men to die abroad for markets when they lack meat at home—to this the old war reporter remains blind to the last. He is a humanitarian who sees that war is wrong and wasteful, and his testimony on that head is clear and refreshing. But he lacks the insight of the seer the probing power of the physician, who diagnoses the disease and points to its hidden causes before prescribing the remedies. And so long as those who write dodge their duty of disguising the cause of war, so long will they fail to exert any appreciable influence on the recovery of a sick world. For it is a true today as when Shakespeare wrote that "diseases desperate in their nature grow require desperate ramedies." H H. "PUT UP OR SHUT UP!" In the Negro World of Doc 24 the following persons made the following offer of their own free will The students of [our] Chiropractic College unite to challenge ANY student of ANY Chiropractic institution in the world to prove in open competition by any means they choose that they are not as well trained as are the students of [our] college. Four obedient servants: George A. Phillips Hyman Anderson. Albert Soler Mrs. Agnes Duke Babb. Thelma Lynch. Peter J. Bell. Max Smith Chris Cummings We called their bluff in the very same issue but although four weeks have gone by they have seemingly crawled into a hole and pulled it in after them. For although they have received three separate and distinct invitations to come over and make good their boast, they have chosen to "shut up rather than "put up". That is generally the way with empty boasters. How the people of Harlem will judge them after this grand fascio it is not for us to say here. In the meanwhile the student of the college who had to jump his $1,000 ball in the unavoy scandal of the McAllister case is still missing. And now the New York State Chiropractic Association (as a consequence) he made a ruling that it will not recognize any college or "school" that permits its students to practice before they have been graduated. It will hold any such college morally and professionally responsible for such things as we have been condemning. Which proves by the highest chiropractic authority that we were quite right all the time. [See if Fido will read this out in class] 'The N Y B. C A has also decided to withhold recognition from any college (or "school") that doesn't put its students through a full three years' course of training before peddling a degree. "Now let the galled jade wince. Our withers are unwrung." In the meanwhile let those who need the valuable services of a chiropractor insist on seeing his doctor's diploma. And remember that you are safe in the hands of a graduate of the downtown chiropractic colleges. H. H "TALLABOO" SCORES A HUGE SUCCESS By V. L. McPHERSON The I. I. A Dramatic Club as summed a great task—risking its life in staging Tallaboo under such favorable circumstances. It may well be proud of having done sufficiently well to hold the attention of the audience thereby causing the critic to forget the absence of artistic setting seen on a first stage. These things considered Tallaboo scored a huge success. Mr E. R. Matthews as Mr Smithford was very good and with a little more naturalness he would be excellent equalling Clarence Mure of the old Lafayette Players. He was undoubtedly one of the best actors almost bordering on professional acting. Miss Morris as Mrs Smithford would do very much better if she had given a better interpretation of a wife and mother. The acting of Mrs Jaycox as housekeeper was flawless. Miss Hibil Bryant as Tallaboo was perfect putting her whole soul in the part Evella (Miss Cornell) was every bit of a society college girl. Mr I. R. Poston as Chapman Smithford in love with Tallaboo, knows how to love He says "it with his eye". His part was well acted. In the villain scene, however, he should have gripped his revolver more firmly, showing more fight in defence of the girl he loved. A very brilliant piece of acting was done by Mrs M. F. Robinson as president of the 'orkville Club, in the Yorkville Club scene. Tallaboo's (Miss Bryant) acting in this scene was also very good. Mrs A. Daxong Tobias playing in the roles of Chink, Chinman, and Mrs Giles showed good acting. The U. N. I. A. Dramatic Club has scored its first goal. There is no reason why it should not play to a full house at the Lafayette for one week, instead of one night. If. under conditions such as there were at Liberty Hall they made good, their success at the Lafayette is assured GREETINGS FROM BRICKEY, ARK. New York, Dec 28, 1921.

A. to Contribute Talent at Monster Benefit at Liberty Hall, Friday, January 20, 1922 Licensed Stationary Colored Engineer to Operate Boiler at Universal Steam Laundry Apply Department of Labor and Industry 56 West 135th Street, New York It gives the round Negro the historical authority for the belief that his race has founded great civilizations, has ruled over areas as large as all Europe, and was prolific in statemen, scientific posts, conquerors, religions and power. He was a master when the white race was welcoming in barberism or rink in savagery. If you practice these virtues we will have less worry at headquarters and have more time to attend the essential business of our great movement. For God's sake, be at peace with each other. A monster musical concert will be given at Liberty Hall, West 138th street, on Friday evening, January 20, 1923, for the benefit of the family of Charles Johnson, the Negro janitor who was shot down and killed by thugs at the corner of 140th street and Seventh avenue Thursday afternoon, January 8, 1923. Mr Johnson is survived by a wife. Mrs Anista Johnson, and six children the oldest of whom is a schoolboy of seventeen years. After investigating thoroughly the condition of the Johnson family, Hon Marcu. Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, formulated plans for reliving the condition of the woman. To a reporter for The Negro World Mrs Johnson told her version of the killing of her husband while in the performance of his duts A little after 6 o'clock Thursday afternoon January 5, 1922. Mr James Belkin white, superintendent of the apartment house at 161 West 140th street New York city sent my daughter Ethelraid, 11 years old to tell my husband who was shoveling ashes in the cellar that he wanted him to come and accompany him to the "L" station at 140th street Mr Belkin was on his way home and had in his possession at the time $800 in cash. It was customary for him to have my husband accompany him on his way home when he had a great deal of money to take with him. Immediately my husband left and went with him. That was the last I saw of him. About fifteen minutes later a messenger came and told me that he was shot down by three hold-up men at the "L" station at 140th street and Eighth avenue. Just how it all happened I do not know exactly. However, I was told that one of the men pointed a gun at my husband while one of the other two searched Mr Belkin. My husband, however, resisted, tried to protect Mr Belkin (as he knew of the $800 he had in his pockets), and as a result was shot and instantly killed. The next day a representative of the owners of the house—Harry Reality Company, 129 Broadway, New York city—came and I told me that the company would give me $50 to help along with the children (six) and that the city would bury my husband. Up to the present I have not received any money from them and the insurance company furnished the money with which to bury my husband. Not a word has been heard of Mr. Belkin up to the present. Instead, the day after the murder, two very tough-loosing Negroa, one of whom is A. Henry, 100 West 138th street, came and told me that they are the new supervisors and that the house was sold. They told me this in the presence of Henry Nibbs and Joe Peterson, friends of my husband. Who the new owners are they could not remember, they told me." Mr. Johnson, who is 36 years old, is a native of Anguilla. B W L I has been in this country eight years. Her husband, who was a native of Tatola, B W L I, came to America nine years ago. They have six children, as follows: Olanda. 17. Evelyn. 14; Ethelra 11. Grace. 6. Sydney. 5; Cecil 2. Mr Johnson had been in the employ of the Hart Realty Company for five years.

Miss Bessie Hampton had charge of the program for the occasion, and certainly the program was well arranged and well rendered. Much credit is due Miss Hampton for her splendid services to the organisation. One of the striking features of the program was a vocal solo rendered by Mrs. Wm. Davia, a visitor from St. Louis Division. The next feature was a beautiful dart rendered by Miss Florine Ballard and Miss Lettle Rice. Other selections of interest and habituation followed. Very interesting remarks were made by the president, Mr. J. W. Hampton, on the aims and objects of the U. M. L. A. The vice-president also made a few remarks, after which the speaker of the hour was introduced in the person of Mr. Wm. Davis of St. Louis Division. Mr. Davis' subject was "The sufficiency of the U.

This is not an age of hero worship, neither is it an age of bestification. Men and women are gradually and generally being recognised for their contributions to science, art, literature, medicine, government and services to their fellow men. Individual ambition, personal interest, the desire for the best in the pursuit of happiness are commendable traits which have played their role in the busy life of particular groups, associations, leagues and governments. A system of rewards for merit has been given by nations to their subjects and citizens to reflect the power and growth of the nations. Self-preservation, survival of the fittest, the superlative and dominant "I" however, must all obey the transient decree: "Greater love hath no man than this—that he lay down his life for his friend." The call to a higher life and service seemingly conflicts with the general matter of fact ideas of our times—rank materialism expressed by "How much is in it for me? Will it benefit me personally? Are my interests advanced? Too much of the future is wrapped up in the enterprise for me." The impelling motive is right here and now, when I can see, feel, touch, hear and enjoy is what "I" am concerned with, as life is too short. This is an attitude that senses the sublimate heights of friendship, yet refuses to budge an inch in support of a laudable purpose; no restriction is placed on the desires and gratification of self-abnegation, non-consideration of "I," suffering and sacrifice have no place in the plans and schemes of the individual. A radical change from this stand pat outlook. . . is become necessary. A right about face turn has been achieved; the new advance shatters the puny distractions and obstacles in our path. We, the women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association now send out a clarion call and a challenge to our men everywhere to have that love for his friend that is great by sacrifice. We are firm in saying that the sympathy, understanding, good cheer, rugged belief in the honesty of those that serve others now find in us a ready response; we champion and help those that work for the welfare of their less fortunate brethren. We are conscious of a new responsibility and are worthy of the trust. We are convincing our men everywhere that to gain our love they must be true to the manhood in them; they must develop their talents; they must attain worthy places in the affairs of life; they must contribute something towards the further happiness of their race; their chivalry must be of a high character broad, faithful, energetic to their women at all places and at all times without consideration of effect. This standard set and kept by men will be respected by us; our support and aid will be given to their ventures and no gift will be too much to safeguard our future. The silent and open approbation of our men will stimulate our courage and we will not be found wanting by the acid test. We want to see our men working for their keep only in any line of uplift and advancement, demonstrating by the courage of their convictions their belief in the ultimate success of the association, enterprise, principle or attainment of ideal, with a faith like Job's saying, as he did, "Even though they lay me, yet will I trust Him." The bedrock and foundation of their belief towards each other must include a solid front and an "I am my brother's keeper spirit." This will make sacrifice easy, lending a peculiar charm and affection to the natural outlook of our people everywhere. It must be clearly understood that we are aware that no race can rise higher than its women; therefore, it is incumbent on our men to place their women a interest first. A clear, clean cut issue must be faced if we are to go forward in accord. Think before you take exception to a view expressed in the hope that a solution is far more complete and swift with our confidence established on such a sure pillar. The new psychology concerns itself with the moral, mental, financial and national progress of our race; it refuses to stop at supposed incumulations of nature; it advances in the belief that its originality and strangeness will wear off as novelty does about things that one is accustomed to. Behind the alien influences that have awaived and played their part in our race is there a definite current? Maybe cross currents and hybrids may have been developed. Will some deep student of human nature in our race come forward and help to lead in this field of science?

The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Procellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association visional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Cham- If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be mailed to the association and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro improvement Association, 50 West 135th street, New York City, N. Y., U.S. A. All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circu- lated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now All persons donating $25 or more to this fund in addition to being granted a certificate, will have his or her photograph published in The Negro World and in the Universal Volume to be published for distribution all over the world. ourselfs. Wide awake opportunity is before the "Intellectuals" to come in, as the water is fine, and millions are they who are wont to swim with direction and efficiency. The Universal Negro Improvement Association as seen through the eyes of an awakened Negro womanhood represent a light in the darkness of unbelief, uncharitableness, bigotry, jealousy, "I am better than you," and lills that must be shunned now the searchlight of publicity have thrown its rays in our direction; type is too cold and language lacking in which to assert the potentialities and possibilities that will find expression through the full emancipation of our women. A woman must be first representative of herself and then reflect the men's progress by and through your willingness to believe in the best motives of our men there is an elixir of life from which men drink many draughts to enervate their wearied seal. Play your parts ably and play them well, strike the sub-conscious mind of the men with whom you come in contact that you stand for more than a vessel to appease the animal instincts. Weave around him in your presence an aerial chariot that carries him to the ethereal skies to look on wonders that his physical blindness will not see. As you impart an incentive of direction and purpose to the lives of men you will be satisfied in seeing all along the line men that are a credit to our race. We know of the barriers, lines of demarcation, conventions and impediments that strew the pathway of gallant youth and hopeful malden, we know of that heart wound that comes when son and daughter learns that the pigment of God appears your greatest handicap in the struggle for a livelihood - we are undaunted, these difficulties we now teach our children are necessary to bring out their powers so that an appreciation of their position will always be a major thought "To have and to hold." The aloofness, criticism of and censure of those less favorably placed must be corrected our intuitive knowledge leads us into an atmosphere of mental unison. Then are we not to expect martyrs to the cause? The total must be swelled by an addition to the ranks of women's activities in all departments of social, protective and fraternal societies. Launch outbroaden outlet the sky be your limit—burst the narrow mental scope, think and then act; your lives are to be the living witnesses of your complete release from the hindrances real and artificial. A charge universal in its solitary have been given to the world's women; everywhere there is a hurry and bustle a preparation and getting ready of all people to outdo their past usefulness. We must be in the vanguard of the pioneers. In shouldering the arduous task that we have set ourselves, we know well the handicap, inducements, distractions, pleasures, gifts and tinsel that will be offered to thwart our high purpose. An innate African character imbued by thousands of years of moral rectitude and the virtue of a beneficent nature will strengthen the faint hearted in our ranks. The honesty and integrity of our men have become a byword; we are now in accord with our adultery. We sunshine and cherish these thoughts; we are cool and collected in this weighty matter; Time, the arbitrer of all things will bear testimony of our surrender as "We Live by Sacrifice alone."

GEO. D. CREESE, COMMISSIONER OF THE DOMINION OF CANADA, AND CAPT. E. L. GAINES, MINISTER OF AFRICAN LEGION, VISIT VANCOUVER 10 ```markdown ``` Henry George D. C. Cosee, U N . . . Commissioner for the Dominion of Canada, arrived in the city of Vancouver, B. G., early in the month of December, 1921, and maimed for a period of five days, leaving on the 7th day of the same month. Vancouver Division No. 81 of L. U. N. I. A was very much pleased with his visit, which was beneficial in many ways. Being well received by the entire city of Vancouver, it was quite easy for him to be of great use in harmonizing certain peved factions of the populace, whose advantages were more or less imaginary. He made it very plain, indeed that we, who are of Ethiopian extraction, need each other. The tenor of his ringing speeches was anxious encouragement for the people of African descent all over the world. It is the sincere wish of the colored people of Vancouver, the largest city of British Columbia, that this useful man live long and be prosperous and successful Captain E. L. Jalnes, the honorary Minister of African Legion, was with ENCOURGING U. N. L A. NOTES FROM NEW BEDFORD, MASS. ENCOURGING U. N. L A. NOTES FROM NEW BEDFORD, MASS. New Bedford, Mass. Dec 30 1921 Mr. William H. Ferris. Dear Sir. In the name of the officers members and friends of New Bedford Division 180 of the U N I A and A C L I send you and the parent body greetings this holiday season and we only wish and pray that as the year of 1921 is soon to close, we are thankful for God's blessings and loving kindness towards us, and we pray that he will draw us nearer to him, because we that the coming year has wonderful blessings in store for every member of the Universal Negro Improvement As association and African Community League. We wish to note here that we have as a member of our organization here Mrs Margaret Mann, who is nearly 30 years of age. She has contributed to the Redemption fund and it is such an inspiration to us to see her attentively every Sunday afternoon meeting. Pray with us that if it God will she will live to hear that Africa is redeemed. We were afforded a surprise a short time ago. Received a sudden notice from Boston that Dr Riley, the Commissioner of this District, would pay us a visit. Although the weather wasn't very favorable, many attended the services held in the A. M. B. Bethel Church on Tuesday, December 13, and the press had a stirring report the following morning recording his statements to us. They very carefully left out the fundamental essentials of thought he wished to convey to our minda, but we, as members, caught the spirit, and it awakened us to renewed vigor and courage to press forward and nothing shall go amiss if we put our trust in our Heavenly Father and listen to the good advice of our leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey. In January we shall hold a membership drive, and as we are nearly one year old there will be a celebration of that event. The Black Star Line Band from Boston will be in our midst for awhile, and Dr. Riley will be here to help conduct a membership drive. Each Sunday afternoon our chancellor reads very interesting papers concerning this great movement, and we wish our people would attend our meetings in larger numbers, because they certainly can receive a glorious treat and have food for thought during the entire week. Rev. Albert Bourbour our chancellor, composes poetry, and he certainly has caught the spirit of Garveyism to its fullest extent. Many of our members have occasion to stand up for our organization and explain the meaning of being a member of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. Many have purchased new constitution and by-laws and are studying its different phases. Everybody enjoyed the Christmas number. On December we held special Christmas exercises and they were enjoyed by all. The spirit of Christ was with us, and as our president remarked he likened the Hon. Marcus Garvey as seeing the star of hope for our race. The Juveniles are doing very nicely and feel the spirit of what our movement stands for. The Legion boys are spelling in line fast and sure. The Leafier Division held a bazaar lately in the Odd Fellows Hall and did nicely. The Black Cross Nurses are getting in line. We are adding members to our缸 but we wish it was a larger number. We ask your prayers that we will be a strong division. We pray often for the parent body and God help every individual member of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. because each day as we read the paper and note different articles we realize that it is now or never the motherland must be redeemed for us. God bless and keep in the hallway of His hand the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Yours for His service. OLVER GROEBE President. The Universal Almanac for 1922 Is Being Circulated Rapidly sally illustrated.

Fred Tools, secretary-general, Hon. G. E. Stewart, high chancellor; Hon. Chaimplain E. A. Gainze, Sir John E.

We are proud of the gallant attack made by you on the Disarmament Conference, an attack that made the truth stand up to defy the iron hand of aggression, an attack that demanded even-handed justice, an attack from which the distant thunder of the African Lion brought fear to those who once encaged him and painted him on their coat-of-arms, an attack that has caused the world to utter in wonder and amazement the dignity of the statesman, the accuracy of the diplomatic, the firmness and dexterity of the expounder the devoutness and concepibility that has given the forum for a clear and impartial comprehension to crystallize the hideousness and despotism upon which the so-called cultured Christian nations exist. Prouder still are we at your alternative to His Holiness, the Pope, affirming the necessity for a conference of the bigger brotherhood of humanity, thus establishing a precedent that truth one day will get a hearing at the bar of justice, and to which all nations have said that the trial and prosecution will have to be conducted by no less a person than our dear provisional president of Africa, Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey. We as loyal members of the association in this division do heartily congratulate and applaud you for the gallant and noble deeds you have accomplished, from which has dawned a new era to enlighten and teach the nations the essence of justice, honesty and truth.

The next speaker was Mrs Phelps, a warm speaker at all times, who did justice to the subject this time as well. Then came the Rev Moore, a blind evangelist. He is a 100 per cent U N. I.

J E Hudson, ex-vice-president of Hamilton Division No. 68, U N I A. Hamilton, Ohio, stormed Richmond, Ind., with a series of lectures on Garveyism for three nights, taking in nineteen members the first night and seven members the third night.

On December 14, Prof J A McKinney was invited to lecture to many colored students at the Richmond High School, where many students awaited his arrival. At 8:45 a.m Prof J A McKinney stepped from a machine and was welcomed and escorted to the auditorium by Mr Elder Hopkins, master of ceremonies. The reading of the topics and minutes followed after the opening ceremonies. After a short speech by the master of ceremonies, Mr Elder Hopkins, he introduced Prof J. A McKinney, who gave a wonderful lecture on Garveyism and many educational points of history on Africa and other countries. After an hour's lecture by Prof J A McKinney the meeting adjourned, with many students promising their membership.

HAPPENINGS Hartford Division No. 74 has had her difficulties has struggled bravely through a period of restraint and although economic conditions are cutting off her revenues she is now working smoothly and on a strong basis. Since November 30 we have been having a series of socials regular old-fashioned family parties, where old and young come to enjoy themselves and to become better acquainted with their neighbors. These socials have been a wonderful success in every way. Our treasury has been appreciably increased our numbers are strengthened and we have made many friends of coffees. Mrs. E. A. Gaines, our lady vice-president is the chairlady of the Social Committee, and our efforts have been most unselfish and uniting. The committee has served suppers from food donated by various members and the visitors have been entertained with music, dancing and games. The same committee with the lady president Mrs Lavinia B Dowden and Mrs E A (dames as chalides staged a large Christmas party on Monday January 2.

After the program was finished a supper was served to the children. From eight o clock the grown-ups had games and dancing while refreshments were sold by the committee. It looks as if we shall soon find to have larger quarters if the after dance at these affairs grows much greater. The New Years Day attendance our Sunday mass meeting, augured well for the coming year. The program was an especially fine one as was the gathering. Our business meetings have become sources of much pleasure to the increasing attendance and times for exchange of many uplifting thoughts and ideas pregnant with good for our people here.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1922 HUNDREDS TURNED OUT TO HEAR HON. RUDOLPH E. SMITH, LEADER OF THE EASTERN PROVINCE OF THE WEST INDIES Sunday January 7, at 1:30 p.m. the doors of the Engineers Building St Clair avenue, corner Ontario street, were thrown open, and before 8:30 the hall was packed to the utmost by an anxious gathering of people awaiting the arrival of the Hon Rudolph E Smith. Much to the joy of the people he arrived, accompanied by the African Legions, Black Cross nurses officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the Cleveland Division No 89 and the Universal choir. Amidst thunderous cheers the distinguished gentleman and others were shown their respective scenes and after the singing of the Ethiopian anthem and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner' by the Silver Beal Ladies Band the program for the evening was opened by Mr John Bout, master of ceremonies who read the preamble of the Universal Negro Improvement Association Among those who took part were Mr and Mrs Thomas Fleming who spoke very adversely to the audience in praise of the organisations a good work Mrs Joan Wake teacher in training of the Black Crescent nurses Mr McHolden executive secretary Division 59 Mr Felix T.

Dr. Smith took for his subject Why Negroes Should seek Self Determination! After going into minor details and telling of his many travels to different parts of the world, Dr. Smith started to thunder and it seemed as if the huge building would collapse. Everyone was kept spellbound and only cheered when their time came Real! we regretted the fact that Dr. Smith was not permitted to stay in Cleveland as organizer. He certainly is a pearl of great prize and we are sure when he goes to the West they will adorn him. All who attended went away feeling that the meeting was one of the biggest treaties, and were only sorry when the hour of 11 p.m came and he had to adjourn. Dr. Smith's program is a large one and we hope that for the benefit of our 400 000 000 Negroes he might be spared to carry it through. TO PROF. J. M. SMITH President of the Los Angeles Division of the U. N. J. A. We may not tread its classic strand, Nor row upon the sunny Nile. But we have gazed upon its shores. An oft we trot down fancy a stale We have beheld its primal fame Heard souls that called from Egypt a past. And voices that have cradled in vain Were wafted to our ears at last And when attention a ear we hooped We heard the song and distant moan Of ancestors long gone before— And there was paused in their tone Reproach was in their accents faint They seemed to cry. Have you forgot Your Africa since their noble blood Since you have mixed with common lot The mysteries that ages hide Step from the heart of Africa wild And grow up with act mysteries For Africa is fancy a child All our soft sofa's are not Its carpet soft remains us not To list more and in sweet dreams Of Africa we are forget And from the view where the aisle Of fancy leads, we stand and view Its continent and softly lap The dreams we share might yet come true ETHEL TREW DUNLAP 1230 West Fourth street Hitz Apia Los Angeles, Cal FREDERICK ROBINSON OF TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS, WAS DROWNED TELA, Nov. 2 1921 - Frederick Robinson of Progresso was found drowned in the Iva River. The unfortunate brother left his comrade on muleback Failing to return search for him was made, the animal being found with its rider. A search was made and on November 31 his body was found. This and accident caused much sorrow among his friends as well as the division. Brother Robinson was a young man, full of hope and aspiration but he was ruthlessly taken from our midst. He might have been the one to deal the fatal blow but he is gone. We trust that others will come forward to fill the breach. F A.

GRIFFITH Executive Secretary, Canada At this time of social and in need of leadership. Nations are a honor of bringing peace and con has existed since the great world among the peoples of the earth the program more in keeping with the present day Executive Secretary, Cambridge Division No. 124 At this time of social and industrial unrest there is a crying need of leadership. Nations are striving one with the other for the honor of bringing peace and contentment out of the chaos which has existed since the great world war. Realizing this great unrest among the peoples of the earth they are seeking to present a world program more in keeping with the aspirations and expectations of the present day. As it is with nations so it is with races. The white race, which has stood pre-eminent for hundreds of years, but which has done much toward fostering this feeling of world-wide discontent, finds its supremacy challenged by the Japanese, the most advanced of the yellow races, and is making great efforts to maintain its leadership. Communities' League he sounded the clarion call of 'Africa for the African' as a call which was taken up by the rocks and mountains of this Western Hemisphere and schooled and re- schooled until it reached the ears of the millions of the race scattered throughout the world. From all parts of the world they focked to the headquarters of the The East Indians, writhing under the unjust treatment and inhuman practice of their white overlords, have rebelled against existing conditions and out of the mist like a meteor from the sky has appeared a great nationalist leader who is believed to have been sent by God, and is stirring up the people and blending them into a mighty chorus with but one voice—the demand for racial sovereignty. The great Negro race scattered throughout the world, and which has been sleeping for hundreds of years was disturbed in its slumber by the great war. Drafted from all parts of the world to assist in fighting for democracy) we fought unda tely and uncompellingly braving everything and caring little for the hell that was raging all around us. fighting always with the hope that we also may share in that great democracy) promised. On returning from the war we came face to face with the same conditions existing before our departure there was no outlet for our ambition the democracy promised was only a fantasy. Having been deprived of our promised reward we at last realized the need of leadership from within our own ranks. We do not want the leadership of those who have in the background of their minds the thought of self who use their talent for their own aggrandizement caring nothing for the cause which they are seemingly representing we do not want that corrupt leadership which allies itself with a movement but which like the vulture hovers until nothing but the skeleton remains, or until it finds itself unable to get more sustenance from that particular quarter. This race has had enough of such good-for-nothing leadership. What we desire now is leadership in all things that pertain to our well-being and evolution. The spirits of our dear brothers and friends who fought and died on the battle plains of Africa. Flanders and Mosopotamia have cried out to God to give us true Negro leadership. A true leader must believe in the cause he is representing, he must believe it is for the best interest of the people he is representing he must be truthful and his integrity must be beyond question. A true leader must have that sympathetic attitude that heart felt interest in others, and that indomitable will that cannot be conquered by perverse circumstances. He must radiate that sense of fairness which inspires men to trust and believe above all, he must be true to himself. Such leaders we must have whether they be social, political, religious or otherwise. God in answer to our fervent prayers for leadership he has sent us the Lion Marcus (carry) a leader of great vision who on being viewed through the eyes of the world has fittingly and affirmatively answered the question. Can any good come out of Africa? This leader appearing upon the scene found the race in the grip of a band of thieves from within and without and in spite of all opposition and the great handicap under which he was laboring he launched a world-wide program for the redemption of the race organizing the Universal Negro Imprisonment Association and African NOTICE THE UN STEAM THE UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY 42 West 142nd Street After undergoing strenuous repair in a much better position to serve former customers and well-wish- ed wet wash or finished Laundry at in Liberty Hall, and we will assu- PROMPT SERVI So do not forget to let us do you done by expo REMEMBER THIS Therefore it can only remain open Thanking for your past patroness After undergoing extensive repair has been repaired.

Realizing this great unrest they are seeking to present a world the aspirations and expectations of Communities' League he sounded the clarion call of 'Africa for the Africanana,' a call which was taken up by the rocks and mountains of this Western Hemisphere and echoed and re-echoed until it reached the ears of the millions of the race scattered throughout the world. From all parts of the world they flocked to the headquarters of the organization in New York to listen to the great man who had been sent by God to tell them. They came, they saw and were conquered by the seal sincerity fervency and honesty of the man. Question after question was hurled at him, but through the wisdom and inspiration of Divine Providence these questions were ably answered. In organizing the Universal Negro Improvement Association with such a world-wide program it was necessary to have the assistance of able and intelligent men, therefore men were selected from the various Negro groups of the world for the further propagation of this great movement. With the formation of an Executive Council Marcus Garvey was made President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Men were sent out to different cities in America and other countries to arouse the Negro to racial consciousness and make them see the light of a new day with a new hope for their downtrodden race. These men were required to take oath of allegiance to the association. At the second international convention of the U. N. L. A. (at which I was present) where delegates from all parts of the world assembled, and when the reports of the officers and field workers were read it was found that some had fallen by the wayside, some had stolen from the association, while others had not kept their solemn oath of service. I have in mind a man who went out in the field and did good work for the association, but who took the opportunity to gratify his own ambitions, a man who was brought before the bar of the convention and found guilty on the charge of "duality of service"—working for the establishment of his church while in the employ of the U. N. L. A. and receiving salary from sources other than the U. N. L. A. This man, in answer to the charge, and on being reminded of his oath, tried at first to justify his action, stating he did not consider his act a serious offense inasmuch as others were doing the same thing. This answer nearly as much as anything he has since done shows the principle of the man we have been following. It shows he considered himself justified in doing things others were accused of doing if he could get away with it. But the Hon Marcus Garvey pointed out that the U N I A wanted men of principle. He pointed out that while the association needed men of ability it wanted men who would not break their oath of allegiance to the cause, as this association is laying the foundation of a government and it must rise or fall by a principle, and in joyalty to the millions of Negroes of so many different religious beliefs it could not adopt the form of worship of the Independent Episcopal Church or any other church as its official form of worship, but could indorse all churches under Negro leadership (a thing which it subsequently did). This division is known as the "fighting division" not because it is thought we are fighting among ourselves, far from it but because we are fighting and will ever be fighting to uphold the principles of the Universal Negro improvement Association and hold aloft IVERSAL LAUNDRY NEW YORK CITY here has been reopened.

Frienda, I have presented you facts concerning two Negro leaders, one you have weighed in the balance and found wanting, and I know that as far as you are concerned it can now be said of him "Past is all his fame, the very spot Where many a time he triumphed is forgot." While on the other hand, our leader, Marcus Garvey, has shown his steadfastness and loyalty to the race, and I can see by your expressions that you have tade a new determination and a new pledge to support the Universal Negro Improvement Association and this great leader, or it can truly be said: "Though round his breast 'the rolling clouds are spread. Eternal sunshine settles on his head." SANTIAGO DIVISION NO. 194, U. N. L. A. The Santiago Division sends greetings for "Our Mother" the parent body, wishing our dear mother all happiness and great prosperity in this new year 1922, while trusting by the hands of the omniscient God that the race we are running will soon be over and our decisive victory won. Our fervent prayer is that God in His infinite mercy will bless and help our great leader to lead us on to that great victory which we are anticipating. I am pleased to announce that we are still on the warpath, fighting a unit for the great freedom of Africa. The new year has dawned upon us in a bright spirit of future hope, especially when so fully infused by the different gleanings that we obtained from the voluminous Christmas number Long live our leader! Long live our magazine! Africa shall be free! We held a Christmas morning service, which was fairly well attended, though not by all those who were expected. The deliberations were very uplifting and edifying to our people of the U N I A. Our chaplain conducted the services, aby assisted by Brother J. R. Cato. On his words we hang our hope for that help that our leader needs. A GREETING FROM A READER OF THE NEGRO WORLD Dear Sir—In response to your appeal which appeared in the Xmas number of said paper permit me to say that it is the most valuable and distinguished Negro journal in the world. As one of its readers I would be bold enough to say that it is the only Negro newspaper that is really inspiring and instructive. Articles can be found herein which throw light upon every phase and aspect of common life. I feel that it is the duty of every reincoving Negro to rally to the support of the higher journalistic achievements of this paper. I am yours respectfully. V. S. PAYNE 1540 Scabury Pl., Bronx, N. Y. C. NOW READY 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 stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, 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. Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association receiving letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfer their allegiance from the U. N. L. A. to theta or asking any obligation, will ignore such appeal, and will realize immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire of the organization, movement or individual to undermine the solidarity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the realization of an object. You should support it for that object and not allow others who may be more self-stake to continue with it. But buying your metage finances in supporting everything, and treating all when you could have supported one good thing and made a mistake. To Managing Editor, Nagro World A Negro named Boddy killed two detectives that arrested him. He was caught and will soon be electronized. His case presents a warning to those that encourage crime, and especially warning to policemen. The Negro when captured said killed the detectives because he was "SO TIRED OF BEING BEATEN UP ALL THE TIME." Two many prisoners are beaten up because individual policemen or other representatives of justice think that beating is wise and useful. In England no policeman ever beats a prisoner, and in England you rarely hear of policemen or detectives being killed by criminals. For their own protection the policemen should abandon the "baiting up" process. Those that practice it are a memoire to the lives of others then use the force. Nothing is gained by beating a man in his cell—to say nothing of the cowardice—and it is dangerous to all policemen—New York American.
