The Negro World

DESPITE PLOTS OF TRAITORS WORK OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION GOES ON! FELLOW MEN OF THE-NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The world within the last two weeks has been treated to a splendid display of stage setting by the political and economic dramatists of our day. The forces that are in opposition to the Universal Negro Improvement Association have organized a world-wide campaign by which they hope to bring about the destruction of the greatest movement ever started for the emancipation of the Negro race. The Manly Stand of the U. N. I. A. Everybody knows how successful the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been in awakening the sleeping consciousness of Negroes everywhere. Everybody knows that the Negro of today is quite a different man to the Negro of six years ago, all because of the uncompromising stand, and the wide campaign of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to eministrate the Negro industrially, commercially, socially, politically, educationally and religiously. In the carrying out of its plans this association has had cause to inspire the members of the race everywhere to the higher sense of manhood, the realization of which has caused a world-wide reaction in those communities where Negroes have been treated as slaves and dogs. The oppressive world realized, therefore, that there is only one thing to be done, and that is to crush, if possible, the rising sentiment of Negro liberty. For the carrying out of this intention of theirs, the political and economic slave masters of our race have arranged a world-wide stage for the presentation of their little farce. Working through their many agents, some an members of our own race, as individuals, and as organizations, they have been able to arrange for my arrest on some charge or other, through which they would be able to give out a world-wide news release in which would be stated just those things that the actors calculated would bring about a universal disorganization among the members and supporters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Part of the Imperialist Press From newspaper clippings received from England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, all of the cities of the United States of America and from the islands of the West Indies and the countries of South and Central America, it can be seen where the same exaggerated news that was published by the venal New York press for the purpose of injuring the reputation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its founder was simultaneously published in all the cities of Europe and other countries in which it was made emphatic that the career of Marcus Garvey had come to a close, and the idea of an African Republic and emancipated Negro race had collapsed. The wish being the father to the thought makes it easy for each and every one of us to discover the far-flung propaganda of the enemies of the Negro race in their desire to keep us slaves; because whilst in their wicked publications they admit that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is made up of millions of members, and the Black Star Line is an auxiliary of this organization, they foolishly stated that the movement had failed, because of the career of one man being cut short, when, in fact, there should have been millions of others in the movement with the one man who would have had their interest at stake, and would not, and could not, have been so foolish as not to replace the one man for the continuation of the movement in which all were interested Burning Parallels The White Press, Forever Stirring Up Ill-Feeling Between the Races, Turns Its Guns on the Garvey Movement —Capitalizes the Arrest of Marcus Garvey and Heralds It as the Beginning of the End— The Destruction of the Mightiest Movement of Modern Times! JESUS, CHARLES I, LOUIS, FRENCH KING, SIR ROGER CASEMENT, TERENCE McSWINEY, ALL FOUGHT AND DIED AND WRESTLED WITH TREMENDOUS ODDS FOR A SINGLE RIGHT So-Called Race Leader, in Summary of Negro Debits and Credits, Puts Marcus Garvey and Black Star Line on Debit List—Can You Beat That? Are Not Ships Assets? If They Are Not, What Are They, Pray? NEGROES, BE NOT DECEIVED! THE NEW NEGRO MUST NOT, WILL NOT, DARE TO GO! HE IS HERE TO STAY, TO FIGHT FOR HIS RIGHTS, TO OUTSTIRP, IF NECESARY, THOSE PROFESSIONAL LEADERS WHO DISCOURAGE AND MISREPRESENT HIM! crediting him to the world. It is well that you face the issue with clean hands, thanks of you Negro hirelings who have been paid and kept for the purpose of ruining your own race, it is well that you know you have been discovered, and that the time is coming when you shall be thoroughly exposed. The Hirelings of Alien Employers Within the last two weeks, the Negro race has had a splendid demonstration of how wicked and cold blooded some of its professional leaders are. They have not even been skillful enough to cover their evil designs, designs forced upon them by allen employers, who have kept them in service for the purpose of standing in the progress of their own race. One of the so-called leaders of the Negro race, who has been professing his attachment to us for several years, was so unskillful as to have given out in his magazine for the month of February, and said openly, that "Marcus Garvey and the Black Star Line are on the debit side of the years' account, and that the Pan-African Congress is on the credit side. That President Harding's Birmingham speech is on the debit side of the account also." This sage of Harvard and of Berlin does not know that he has given away more that he intended probably, yet some of his associates are very much aggrieved over certain statements that were made in the Negro World in which it was said that "men of certain associations are responsible in a great measure for the embarrassment encountered by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Black Star Line, in their operation." A Negro who could write that for Negroes to own steamships is a liability and not an asset, reveals himself either as a crazy lunatic or a soulless employee carrying out the instructions of his masters, without thinking of the consequences to his own people. Ships as Accents Everybody knows that ships are among the greatest assets of race or a nation. Great nations and races of the past, and even of today, are those who are able to indulge in maritime commerce. Show me the race or the nation with control of the largest number of ships, and I say, "there goes the most prosperous race or the most prosperous nation." White people do not think steamships a liability, but our professional Negro leaders say that they are! How is it? When will heaven, when will Providence, when will God, the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost save us from such pseudo-leadership? But, as time goes on, we will be able to discover the more why we have not made better progress as a people. It can be attributed to no other cause than to the false leadership of this past, and even of the present. The unfortunate thing about it all is that the leadership that we are having now, in many directions, is the kind of leadership that is paid for by those who wish to keep us the serviles we have always been in these modern times. A Dangerous Period life, and that the race that does not prove itself today will die tomorrow. It is a question of who thahl people this world in another couple of hundred years, whether it will be the Canaanian, the Asiatic, or the African. Gradually the African is losing his foothold, and if he is not careful it is only a question of time when the black man will be a being of the past. Just as the North American Indian is today a creature of the past. The Clamor of the Age Negroes of the world, let me warn you that the loss of Africa to the race will cause the permanent destruction of each and everyone of us. Now is the time for us to concentrate upon the founding of a national home, even as the Jew is determined for the restoration of Jerusalem, and the Irish for the independence of Ireland, and the Egyptians for the freedom of Egypt. ATTEMPT TO INJURE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION BY SPREAD OF MALICIOUS PROPAGANDA, AND BY CAUSING ARREST OF MARCUS GARVEY, SHOWN TO BE FUTILE LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday night, Feb. 5, 1922.—In a remarkable speech lasting fully one hour, the Hon. Marcus Garvey addressed an overflowing audience tonight in Liberty Hall on the subject, "Propaganda to Trap the Negro." His most ringing declaration was that "nothing can happen between heaven and earth except through the influence of God and His intervention that can permanently disable the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." This statement was greeted with thunderous applause, only to be followed by still greater expressions of approval by the audience upon his adding that "until Gabriel appears in the heavens and blows his trumpet and says to the world 'Peace, perfect peace'—not till then will Negroes stop their agitation for a free and redeemed Africa and a complete emancipated Negro race." 10 ATTEMPT ASSOCIATE CA LIBERTY HALL, New York, remarkable speech lasting fully or addressed an overflowing audience effect, "Propaganda to Trap the Negro was that "nothing can happen between the influence of God and His intervention the work of the Universal Negro statement was greeted with thunder by still greater expressions of approbation that "until Gabriel appears in the says to the world 'Peace, perfect peace, their agitation for a free and redeemed Negro race." In the beginning of his address Mr. Garvey alluded to his recent arrest and showed how this was the result merely of malicious propaganda to effect the ruin of the organization. The news of his arrest had been sent to various parts of the globe such as France, England, Germany and Italy, simultaneous with its sensational publication in the metropolitan white press, coupled with the assertion that Marcus Garvey's career had been brought to a close. Newspaper clippings on the subject had just been; received by him from abroad showing, as he had pointed out, that the matter had become one of international importance. Gald Mr Garvey in the course of his speech: The idea of suggesting that the cause of a race can be suddenly brought to a close through the privileged aspect of any one individual in the race when there are 400,000-900 people who make up that race is problematic. In other great movements there had never been any cesation of their activities, because the leader or any important figure had dropped out. He referred to the World War and asked the question: "Did the Allies lose their cause because Kitchee was down?" That Negroes should be regarded as different from other people, he thought as being most strange and unfair. There should be no alarm, he added, that anything should happen to the N. L. A., because of any one man's arrest, even though nothing has happened to the man, because that man (meaning himself) is still running along Johnny Walker. This latter remark, spoken in a humourous veil, evoked much laughter. The speaker than took up the question of the redemption of Africa and said that those Negro students, many of them graduates of our colleges, who instantiate the impossibility of the Negro to establish a nation of his own, had read history upheld down. In illustration of this he pointed out that the following of the American Republic was at first looked upon as impossible: likewise the establishment of the French Republic so also, the fight for Irish freedom running through several centuries. The troubles of the Negro race, said Mr. Garvey, are caused not so much from without as from persons within the race in fact, said he, the designs and manoeuvres of men—men of the race—some of them calling themselves leaders—that they have influenced, under the influence of others, on their own mail, news, epits and any to destroy this movement, such as to cause one to wonder that a race can be so wicked and evil toward itself. Mr. Garvey, in the course of his address, took the white 'metropolitan' society severely to talk for its wilful misrepresentation of matters pertaining to the race particularly will respond to the U. N. A. and his recent arrest. These newborns, he said, always make it d'ordre to play up, in large headlines, reports of anything tending to affect the Negro, magnifying his self and selfdom, it ever, referring to his virtues. A more deserving course, than this could, not have been made; as every one who has read the New York papers recently is able to testify. The remainder of the President-Governor's address, was listened to with great attention by the large audience, and showed that, the cause of this great movement in the new thing appurient in his mind, rather than what may happen to him, personality as a result of the recent efforts of his enemies, white, and black, to discredit him and if possible, remove his potent influence as his leader. Sir William H. Pieris was the only speaker of the evening, and delivered a brilliant address full of information and brushing with historical information that always characterizes his吼嗓. The musical program of the evening was a delightful, preliminary to the symphonies, and showed that the artist of 2020s. John made the able demonstration of Preston Ward and Preston Ward's ability to mimic the songs of women, though which he explained as going to help him to the spirit of his interests by giving new book of his interest. The karp was polished and polished. SIR WILLIAM H. PIERIS SIR WILLIAM H. PIERIS SIR WILLIAM H. PIERIS African Empire was lost. Some of you little understood the wish behind that thought. Some of you little realised the tremendous effect of that stage setting. The arrest of men is a matter of every second in the world, and especially in these United States of America; and it does not mean that every person who is arrested becomes a subject of international news; but in this case, as I wanted to bring to your mind, the stage was set for an international drama—a drama to be played not only in New York but simultaneously throughout the world. I was arrested on a Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock; on Friday morning every newspaper I mean the white daily newspapers in New York) carried a news item of the arrest and other things quite foreign to the arrest of over a column and some two columns. At the time they published the news in New York hat Marcus Garvey's career had come to a close the news was published in Rome, in Venice, in Berlin, in London, in Paris, in every European capital, and in South America and every section of European Africa as well as in Central America and the West Indies. The clippings have just reached my hands from Europe which relate word for word all that the New York World published on the morning of the 14th of January, which further convinced me—because I knew what it was; I knew just the plot; I had all along anticipated it—but I was further convinced of the great effort that is being made to create a disintegration among Negroes—a disunity among Negroes will be kept permanently in that position laid out for them by the so-called superior race. For centuries we have been the undergrowth of the world; for centuries we have been regarded as less than men; but within the last few years a serious attempt was made by an organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association to lift the Negro from his ancient position as forced upon him by his so-called superior master to that of a man's place in the world. It was too big a program; it was too big an idea—too big indeed for the arrogant masters of our civilization to allow to succeed to any extent. The result was that skillful plans were laid by which it was intended that the mass of the people of the race who fell under the teaching and doctrine of this organisation would be suddenly pushed back from that dream of theirs of a brighter future to the conditions that have been created for them for these centuries by those who have been our economin as well as political mastera. Cellossal Success of U. N. I. A. Not Anticipated Prince, descents of Garvey's Downfall Displeased. The newspaper clipping that have banned to me from Garvey's front from the Wine Taste And Central Anderre emmanates this statement: "Mature Garvey's career has come to a close. A very fine expression or statement. All that he has done, he has done his job to sell in town and had been blessed. My parents ran away not long after he left Garvey's front but Garvey's back. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1922 Not Until Gabriel Blows His Trumpet Will Negroes Stop Their Agitation for a Free and Redeemed Africa and a Complete Emancipated Negro Race NOTHING CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH EXCEPT THROUGH GOD'S INTERVENTION TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE WORK OF U. N. I. A—IDEA ABSURD THAT ASSOCIATION SHOULD CEASE TO EXIST BECAUSE ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL IS REMOVED—SPIRIT OF MOVEMENT PLANTED DEEP IN HEARTS OF NEGROES EVERYWHERE—WHITE PRESS TAKEN SEVERELY TO TASK FOR WILFUL MISREPRESENTATION—ALWAYS SEEKS TO MAGNIFY EVILS OF RACE, SELDOM REFER TO NEGRO'S VIRTUE Attention Again Called to Prophecy of Struggle of the Races and Survival of the Fittest—Negro College Students Who Maintain Impossibility of the Negro to Establish Nation of His Own Said to Read History Upside Down RACE'S TROUBLES IN ITS STRIVING UPWARD CAUSED LARGELY FROM ENEMIES WITHIN—CONFIDENCE IN GARVEY'S LEADERSHIP STRONGER THAN EVER DESPIE T UNTOWARD RECENT EVENTS not even lost one pound of flesh still in possession of his faculties, still robust in his mind and his physical body put his career is brought to a close. (Laughter) It is the strangest assumption I have ever seen and read of. I do not know, there must be two Marcus Garvey. First of all I have to question myself to find out if I am still Marcus Garvey, perhaps I am Prof. Ferris; I don't know (Laughter) But if I am Marcus Garvey I want to say to the world that I have just started my career. (Great applause) If I am the Marcus Garvey they have written about and published about, they are very much mistaken if they believe that anything permanently damaging has happened to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the Black Star Line No Earthly Influence Can Disable Work of W. N. I. A. From their way of thinking—from their way of seeing things—they may imagine that some great harm—some great damage—has been done, and that this harm and damage will act as a permanent deterrent against Negroes putting through the program of this organization; but there is another way of thinking besides thiears, and the other way of thinking is this, among those who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association: That nothing can happen between heaven and earth except through the influence of God and the intervention of God that can permanently disable the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Great applause.) When Gabriel appears in the heavens and blows his trumpet and says to the world: "Peace, perfect peace"; when Gabriel appears in the heavens and gives notice to humanity (including white and black and all the races); when Gabriel appears and serves a special notice to Negroes, not until then will Negroes stop their agitation for a free and redeemed Africa and a complete emancipated Negro race. (Applause.) But anything in the person of man, anything made up in physical human form that appears between heaven and earth to tell Negroes to stop their agitation for their complete emancipation and the freedom of Africa, we have to beg your pardon; we cannot hear and we cannot listen to you. (Applause.) A Preposterous Conclusion The idea of suggesting that the cause of a race can be suddenly brought to a close through the frivolous arrest of any one individual in that race when there are 400,000,000 people who make up that race and the individual is only one in that 400,000,000. How bad, how impotent a race of 400,000,000 would be to bring to a close their efforts and their career because one man happens to be disabled in the march toward freedom and the march toward liberty! Why is it that the world seems to rate the Negro differently from other races? in the fight for English freedom did the English lose their cause because one man was disabled—because they caught one man on the firing line and incarcerated him or shot him? In the case of the late war between the Allies and the Central Powers, did the Allies lose their cause because Kitchener went down? Then why should they suggest that Negroes are different from other people—that there should be some alarm because of anything that happens to any one man, even though nothing has happened to the man, because the man is still going strong, like "Johnny Walker?" (Laughter.) ... Plot to Destroy the Negro's Hope Plot to Destroy the Negro's Hope As I said in my opening remarks, the slave has been long set for an international drama—call it a tragedy of whatever you wish—by which they would permanently put out of existence the slaves' hope of this state of ourns. They calculated this by publishing some false report about Garvey, the Universal. The Negro Improvement Association and the Black Zion Zion everywhere where Negroes live, they would succeed in insisting that damper out the spirit of the people universally and this great movement would Gill no more—would not, as suggested by more would have been because even though we are—as far as the headquarters of the U.N.A.I are concerned—removed from Europe in a space of thousands of miles, yet when that news was published the Negroes of England refused to believe one word of it (applause), and simultaneously with the sending of the papers from Europe to me, came letters from Negroes in different sections of Europe saying: "If you want help, send to us we will fight the stronger ones." (Applause). Now what can they do with a people made up and so determined? They have only killed themselves; because the world knows that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is still here and so long as it is still here the career of the movement is still before them. Newspapare Have Contradicted Them selves They calculated to have done great harm to the movement in trying to misrepresent me and misrepresent what happened to the whole world. Pages of newspapers were printed, columns were devoted to editorials telling how Garvey has millions of dollars and no ships and all kinds of things. They made it as black as the devil so that they could persuade Negroes of the belief that there was no virtue in their own race—that there was no good in their own race, but it is strange how men contradict themselves and make fools of themselves just to carry out their evil intentions and evil designs, not knowing there are other sensible people in the world who are watching them and listening to them. They have come out and said that the Black Star Line never had any ship, yet they were the same people who in 1919, when we had that whisky trouble, made all the noise that the Black Star Line ship was soled with a cargo of whisky and the ship was "shimming" out in the harbor with all the crew on board drunk. (Laughter) The very New York papers that said just a few weeks ago the Black Star Line had no ship were the two papers which published that news two a half year ago because that was some fun in it for them. The fun was that Negroes had a ship, that the ship sent out 8 O D distress signals, that the crew was drunk and the ship was shimming out in the harbor. Now after two and a half years come back and say that it is all a fake. Now, which of the news is right, the first one or the last? There is an old Latin saying which interpreted into English means "False in one, false in all." and you have had enough experience of newspaper propaganda to know that you can place no reliance on what you read in certain newspapers, and especially anything that relates to Negroes. There has always been some exaggeration—something foreign to the truth, and that has been the means and methods of a large number of newspapers toward those whom they have no particular interest in. You know the white papers have no interest in Negroes, anyhow, except to show them up as dice shooters, molluskins and boot-leggers and everything that is hideous and monstrous; but the virtues of the Negro are seldom published—seldom brought to light, while the virtues of their own race have always been played up and have always been forced upon us to be accepted without question. Human Liberty is a sacred Permanent. The real intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the intention to emulate a down-roden race—and the frosting of one's country from an ex domination—the they have always held each a cause dear unto themselves. The people who try to ridicule us today have always held human liberty dear and problems. They have always held the freedom of mankind: the sacred possession of the individual; the people; or the race as well as of the nation, but they are only willing to be handed that to themselves and devise others of it; hence, we find them bolstering up the cause of freedom; bolstering up the cause of liberty as pertaining to other races, but what is coming to the Negro enduring ridicule he must be held up to the season and contempt of the world. Must Fight Our Own Battles You will realize therefore that the battle that you have to fight is your battle the battle you have to fight must be fought by yourselves the battle that you have to fight is one that others will oppose you in and therefore you need not look to them for guidance you need not look to them for consideration you need not look to them for help of any kind and I have to again thank the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world for the splendid spirit they have maintained amidst the world-wide propaganda and opposition and hostility. | Despite Propaganda Membership Loyal Not one section of the great movement has faltered in the least but every section of the great movement has rallied to the cause 100 per cent. it proves that we are going to rely upon our will, upon our determination, upon our courage to carry this movement to its ultimate success. But in journeying toward the great objective amidst the opposition of the world we must realize that the greatest danger confronting us is evil ones among us. Half of our troubles in this struggle upward for the emancipation of the race and for the freedom of Africans comes not so much from without as from within this race circle of ours. If I were to explain to you the designs and machinations of men—members of this race, some of them calling themselves leaders—that they have engineered under the instruction of others and through their own manicuousness and spite and envy to destroy this movement, you would wonder that a race could be so wicked and evil toward itself The Evil Ones Among the Race Men in this city men in different parts of this country, men in different parts of the world of our race, claiming to be leaders, claiming to be great teachers, have been used at this time by those who desire to keep us at the very foot of the great human leader for the purpose of preventing us from achieving the object we have in view and at a time when all people, when all nations are seeking to secure themselves as against threatening disaster which every one can see. Passing Through a Period of World Reorganization We are passing through a period of world reorganization, when no race, no people, no nation, can afford to ignore its future, because its future is largely dependent upon the attitude of the race today in this reorganization of world affairs. You who have been reading your papers and magazines will recall the great international struggle among races and nations for power, for freedom, for independence, for position in the world. We have had troubles and struggles of our own, Egypt, India, Palestine, Poland, Russia, all have had struggles. What is the meaning of all thin men of different races, of different nationalities, of different points of view, uncompromisingly fighting for a political place, fighting for a political position in the world? It means that all nations and all races realize that if an attempt is not now made to secure one's position, that individual, that race, or that nation will be lost to the world. As I have often said from the platform of Liberty Hall and from different platforms of this organisation throughout the country, we are now facing that period in human existence of the "survival of the nittest." Future Struggle of the Races In another three hundred years only the titlest of this great human family of ours will be found people this world; all other races not sufficiently prepared, not sufficiently organized, not sufficiently protected, will be wiped off the face of the globe, either by political or military slaughter, or by economic disaster. We are traveling toward that point now, and if you, as one of the great groups of this human family, do not make the effort now, do not take the step now, to protect ourselves against the threatening disaster of the future you shall marry up to that disaster and seal your own doom A Lesson to Be Taken Can you take a lesson from your economic suffering now and see what it will be in another two or three hundred years, when three time as many people will be here to compete with you as are competing with you now and what the consequence will be? Can you successfully compete with the other men now? You cannot be hardly a surplus in population. And you cannot be economically industrially compete successfully when there is hardly a surplus population what will happen to you when you have to compete against an overwhelming surplus population in the world? That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association wants to draw to the attention of the 400,000,000 Negr people of the world. Conquest of the North American Indian A couple of hundred years ago a certain number of innocent people lived in this country, called America. These people were called North American Indians. Some other people who were disafflicted with their condition in another part of the world, after the part of the world had become too overwork with people to satisfy everybody—a few disafflicted people who were not well accommodated in their own habitat—stepped across the ocean, came here, saw these naked people in their innocence. And what did they do to them? They shot them, they killed them, they buried them, they took away their country. They buried them because they could not stand the competition of these people; there was not enough room for two great people to occupy the same place and exist together, and, therefore, one had to die, to make room for the other. Game Fate Awaiting the Native Afri- can The same design is now being tred upon Africa. Men and Negroes of the world, can you see it? The same intention is about to be practised upon Africa. The same intention is going to work itself out, exe: "get up in your majesty throughout the universe and stop these aliens in their mad intentions and wicked derg gna. The idea of a so-called superior race, the white race, saying that "I hate you; you are inferior to me!" And the very fact that that idea is growing all over the world, and that these people are trying to people Africa and possess it, shows that, if you allow them to get possession of it, you will die from the prejudice of hat race. What is the idea of certain sople we want to go from Europe into India, into North an South Africa to take possession of it? It is simply that that race believes that no other race has a right to live. You must not expect to see this intention on their part we down! It would never do to put it into writing, for to write it would be to create an antagonism against the intention. But the intention is deep down in their Plana and Design Being Discovered Thank God, however, the Admiral has arrived himself and has discovered the first the wicked design. The Japanese has discovered it, the Sleeping China. man, at last has awakened from his slumber and die covered it (apple and the sleeping superstitious Indian and Hindu Moslem has discovered it, through Mahatma Gandhi. And, thank God the Universal Negr. Improvement Association has discovered it, through the new Negro (Great applause). Reiteration of a Redosed Africa Do you do wonder why there is such a propaganda to hold up Marcus Garvey and to prophesy that Marcus Garvey a career is now coming to a close? It would suit certain people to bring Marcus Garvey a career to end but so long as God is God, so long as there is a Heaven so long as there is a world planet so long as man is man there shall be a redouced Africa and an emancipated Negro race. Whether Marcus Garvey lives or dies it is immaterial to the issue. It is immaterial to the question. The spirit of the movement is already planted deep down into the hearts of black men and I want to warn black men, you Negro men you are firing with your future you are flirting with your destiny. You black men have suffered much in the past. The moment, the second you forget the sufferings of the past, that very moment you become defeated in the struggle of life. Every time that a bit of discouragement comes to Marcus Garvey, Marcus Garvey remembers the injustice done to him last year, the year before, and still the year prior to that, as far back as when he was a child, and that inspires him to do the harder. (Applause) You black men under the sound of my voice, can you not remember the injustice of the past? Can you not remember the time when because you were black you were pushed back, and still to lift them, and never to lift your head in ambition and not hope to be a man? Can you forget that? (Cries of "No!") You men from America, you men from the West Indies, can you remember can you forget the time when you were pushed back because of your color? Why then should you come up one bit in this great fight when you see the hope of making yourself permanently men? Race Doomed If It Yielded Now I am appealing to you black men and women of the Negro race, and to Negro men and women throughout the world that it is a question of the nature of the filiter that you know let me tell you that your name is your death is sealed. It is because the world sees your determination and realizes the possibility of it. achievement of what you are named, that it is seeking to destroy the great movement. But thank God the seems to be a greater influence guiding the destiny of the Universal Negro Improvement Association than the influence or the genius of man, because miraculously it seems that every kind intention and design aimed at it ultimately ends the association in the position of the veter. There must be some guidance guiding this great course of ours and I say it this time, when we are supposed to be passing through trouble forget not to pray for the success of this movement forget not to pray to your Heavenly Father and especially to our Elder Brother Christ Jesus, to help you, to remember you, now that you are passing through your Gethsemana. You helped Him when he climbed Calyx. Now that we are climbing our Calyx, let us appeal to Him to help us up the heights. No Reason for Race to Be Alarmed African Nation Not an Impossibility DO YOU KNOW THAT IT represents your strivings, your race's strivings to reach a place in the maritime world that will command respect? DO YOU KNOW THAT just in that measure you give it your unstated support you contribute to the glory of the achievement? DO YOU REALIZE THAT the full measure of support it means at your hand? Get those shares now, brother. Get them now, sister. Get them right now. Use the compon. HAVE YOU GIVEN IT—Mr. Negro man or woman, search your own heart and determine whether you would like to see the Red, Black and Green floating over the ocean song, to all the creatures that blow, proclaiming to the world that "Ethiopia has stretched forth her hand." nay, Lord Mayor of Cork, was a myth; and yes, Marcus Garvey is a myth, and that is why they have said his career is brought to a cloak because he is a myth and he is no longer here, he has gone somewhere else; but as we have often said, "The more you look the less you will see." (Laughter.) By do not be discouraged one bit by the vaporsage of some of our would-be leaders who try to discourage you because they are paid to do it. Again I warn you to beware of those Negro leaders who are too much in the company of the other fellow, watch him, then, they are up to some trikis. Any Negro when you see too much in the company of the other fellow is a dangerous Negro. I believe in myself, I believe I am a man and that it is impossible for any other man to outdo me under the same circumstances, under the same conditions and under the same environments. I have that much confidence in myself, and I feel that no other man can put it over me. But I do not believe there is one man in this twentieth century of the race who can successfully throw off the influences of the other; man if he keeps always in the company of that other man. The idea of superiority has become a second part of our nature, it is deeply imbedded into our hearts into our minds and into our very bodies and we can hardly get away from the influence. We were taught that in our childhood, which was the most dangerous period of our existence, because the impressions we get as children are the impressions that remain with us through life. In our childhood we were taught to look up to somebody else even on the playgrounds and even in the neighborhood where we lived next door to the other follow, and those impressions have grown up and are hard to have. The before you see any Negro too much in the company of the other fellow he is a slave to him because he has not yet successfully thrown off his influence Negroes. I am warning you and I trust that you will realise and appreciate the intention of the advice I give. I want you to realize that we are facing the battle of the survival of the fittest race, and in another 200 years the truthfulness of this warning will be realised. We will be dead but we do not die completely, we only transform ourselves from the physical into the spiritual and I believe the spiritual has as much knowledge of the affairs of this world as the physical. In the next hundred years we will be satisfied wherever we be to see the changes that have come over the world and which by our actions now we will have helped to bring about. PROF. FERRIS SPEAKS Prof Wm. H. Derris, Assistant President General and Library Editor of the Negro World, apoke as follows I have been speaking from this platform and the platform over yonder for about two years and a half, and have used all of my thunder I haven't the assortment of jokes which I could elaborate and improve upon as my good friend, Dr Eason, and have nothing to rely on but the straight facts. The Negro No Longer a Mere Fun- maker I was thinking as I saw this procession tonight of the carmineess, the sincerity and the dignity that have characterized your actions. I suppose one reason why the world has taken you seriously has been that you are serious yourselves. I remember the time whenever a colored speaker appeared before a white audience, the audience wasn't satisfied unless he told a joke and made them laugh, and that whenever a colored singer appeared before a white audience, the audience was not satisfied until they had heard come of the publiee songs and plantation melodies. Whenever in those days a colored elocutionist appeared before a white audience, the audience was not satisfied until he gave them something humorous—this dialect stuff. Our orators and singers and elocutionists so entered to the world believed the Negro was capable of nothing more, nothing higher, nothing greater than being funmakers. But the way you have for two years and a half stood up under criticism, stood up under disappointment, convinced the world that something exists in the Negro now which did not exist before. I call that the Negro renalissance. The Negro Renalassance, or Spirit of Revival Some wonder why I do not speak of that as the Negro re-birth. The re- How Many Shares Have You Purchased? son is that a re-birth means your entering into a spirit that is new. But in this revival of the Negro spirit which we find today, we find it is not a re-birth, but a revival a renunciation of that which existed on the plains of Ethiopia twenty-five hundred years ago, three thousand years ago, and thirty-five hundred years ago. The world, as we have seen by the New York "American," by the New York "Evening Post" and by the Boston "Transcript," takes seriously the contertion which I made twelve years ago, which was ridiculed by the avants then, that the Ethiopians were black men. One Harvard professor, who made an expedition to Egypt to study at fire hand the ancient history of the Ethiopians, admits that they were black, that they had curly hair, but were not as much Negro as the American Negro or the African Negro. I believe that if they were today to ride through the South, they would be forced into the Jim Crow care. The Ethiopians were about three-fourth Negroes, and now if you are one-tenth Negro, you are classified as a Negro. So believe they were very much Negro. The Spirit of the Ethiopian and of the New Negro But what I want to say is that this spirit which has characterized this organization is the same spirit which lifted the Ethiopians to the summits of the world's civilization three thousand years ago, and I believe that in this spirit I will illustrate the degree in the eyes and estimation of the civilized word. This is what education does. Some people think that education is going to school, learning the grammar of the language, learning to translate Latin and Greek, and German and French, learning to conjugate verbs, and to solve problems in mathematics. But there is something else besides education. When I was a boy, every Friday afternoon for one hour—and that extended through a period of four years—the teachers would read about American history, holding up Israel Putnam, holding up George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, the men who fought the Indians, and so on. The teachers were trying to create in the mind of the boys and girls an ideal of character, trying to hold up certain ideal Americans after whom they were to pattern in life. I remember on Lincoln's birthday, or Washington's birthday, or on Decoration Day, they would have speakers to address the boys and girls, instilling into them what has been done during the last century of America's history. And that is what has been done for the last three thousand years. The Egyptians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Arabians, had some ideal of education, some type of character, some acquirement which they wanted the young to acquire and imitate, and that is what the world's education is striving to do today—to inspire into the young certain ideals which they should practice in his daily life. Negro Race Heretofo Had No Program Now heretofore, as a race, we have had no program, we have had no definite ideal Our only aim was to win the favor of the powerful and dominant race. We did not teach our boys and girls that black men had played a part in the world's history, we did not teach them that all the other men had accomplished and achieved we black men and women could accomplish and achieve. We did not teach them that more important than the color of the skin and the texture of the hair was the soul and energy and consciousness and heart of a man, not until the Universal Negro Improvement Association came upon the scene. And that is why it has stirred the world as nothing else has; it has taught the Negro that he was somebody. Booker Washington came on the scene and said: "Behold! I bring you good news of great joy and glad tidings! Carnegie and Rockefeller are financing Negro industrial schools in the South Follow me, and I will land you in Jobs." And the Negro applauded. DuBois came upon the scene and said: "Behold! I bring you good news of great joy and glad tidings! Millionaires, editors and philanthropists, men of wealth, power and prestige, are fighting our cause." And the Negro applauded. Then Marcus Garvey came upon the scene and said: "Behold! I bring you good news of great joy and THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 GARVEY THE MASTER ARCHITECT OF ETHIOPIA, SAYS HINDU PATRIOT "Peace," He Says, "Shall Not Dawn On This World Until Asia, Africa, and Their Ancient Peoples Are Free and Enjoy All Human Rights" glad tidings' You were created in the Divine image, the same as other men what other men have accomplished, you can accomplish (applaus), not only were you created out of the dust of the earth, but God breathed into your nostrils the breath of life, and 'I created within you a living soul and a thinking mind, Stant up like a man, and you will be respected by others as a man. You can do what other men do; you can create a civilization of your own, you can establish and run steamship lines, you can build and operate factories, you can develop Liberia, you can build up an empire" And it is because Marcus Garvey told the Negro that he was a "alumbering giant" that he aroused the Negro, and gave to him that spirit of initiative and determination to do for himself and to achieve and accomplish things in the world. Hannibal Pointed to as a Great Example Why is it that historians classify Hannibal as the world's greatest military genius? His greatest feat was to do something that no man had ever accomplished in human history, to lead an army over the Aïpe in winter time and land on the plains of Italy and march up on Rome. It was the forethought, the patience, the fortitude, and genius which Hannibal possessed that enabled him to rescue his army from one predilection after another, and that has stamped him as the world's greatest military genius. And it is because Marcus Garvey has done something which no other black man has ever accomplished and achieved—brought him, men together from all over the world, so that the Jamaican has been a Jamaican, but a Negro so that the Barbadian does, feel he is a Barbadian, but a Negro so that the Haitian does not feel he is a Haitian, but a Negro; so that everywhere black men now feel spiritually akin to each other, and all feel sympathetically inclined towards other men of African descent—it is because he has done this and accomplished this marvelous feat, that he may justly be ranked the most unique leader today of the Negro race. Greatness of the Idea of Negro Confraternity This idea of a black confrontation, of a contrarity of the Negro peoples of the world, is a big and wonderful idea. Its greatness all must acknowledge and should appreciate. It is the idea which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has launched, and the fact that our men and women have raised to it, shows that their spirit has been touched, has been moved. Important as is the "Almighty dollar" important as is the greenback, there is something more important still, and that is the soul of man. When you have developed the soul of man, when you have inspired him with ideals, when you have strengthened his heart, he may lose his fortune, but he will go up and get another fortune. What happened to Rome when Hannibal slaughtered 70,000 of her troops at the Battle of Cannae? Such was the woman spirit that they gathered together another army. And so it is with a race and with a nation, if it is with faith in God, in its destiny, it will rise from one disappointment, triumph over every obstacle, until it wins out by virtue of that indefitable spirit which gives it momentum. Momentum is weight multiplied by velocity. We have always had velocity, because we have had intellectual brilliance, and we have had versatility, but by mobilizing 4,000-000 Negroes from all over the world, we are giving this race of ours weight, and with that weight, multiplied by velocity, the time will come—and I trust I shall live long enough to see it—when a Negro will not be ashamed of the color of his skin, but, by virtue of the spirit within him, and his own deeds and achievements, he will stamp his name upon the pages of human history. (Great aplause.) Sir Would you kindly publish the following article in your leading Negro paper? I am one that has greatly interrelated himself in the growing Negro problem, which I consider not as a local, or family, or communal, or even national question, but as a portentous universal problem—the problem of the twentieth century I am hailing from that distinct charming land of perpetual sunshine—India. I am one of those millions that are being oppressed by the imperialistic English government My interest, my responsibility, my duty, have thus impelled me to study the tragic tale of other oppressed peoples, a. g. the Negro, and his future. From my humble study so far I have confidently felt that the U N I. A. is doing the real work for the uplift of the Negro, and the U stands for, in word as in action—Universal. To know the Negro, thoroughly I thought it necessary to see him in his normal state—in his every-day life. Therefore, in the disguise of a peddler (selling hair tones and herbal preparations for complexion, or those for internal troubles, and fragrant perfumes for which India is famous). I visited the homes of the poor workers, the middle class with a little leisure. I also met the educated men—lawyers, doctors, social workers, etc. I have studied and closely observed the New Negro in church and in school, in social gatherings, as in club meetings, in office as in factory. I have myself been on various occasions the honored guest at the family table, the speaker of the evening to young men and women. After a close, and intimate, and careful observation, I find there is a new spirit in the Negro, which craves not for a mime shadow but the true substance of liberty. That the Negro is inferior racially is a revealed falshood—when we look at the names of Toussaint Louverte, the librator of Haiti, of Coleridge Taylor, the Divine musician, of Paul L. Dunbar, the poet-philosopher; of Booker T. Washington and Dubola, the great recognized scholars of international fame. And last, but not least, Marcus Garvey, whose name will pass on to posterity as the unifier, the redeemer and the master architect of the structure of the republic of Ethiopia. The spirit of Marcus Garvey is filling daily the despaired hearts of hundreds of Negroes. Garveyism is a passion—a new religion that is filling the souls, and spreading faster and winning new converts. The tenet, though simple, is fervently voiced and re-echoed, "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." Indeed, it has surprised me after knowing the Negro as I do self-reliant and self-respectable; gentle and polite; brave and straight-forward and true; generous and hospitable; that yet withal, so often his intentions should be mistaken—his motives should be misconstrued, the color of his skin be attributed to his heart. When his voice, actions and his movements were restrained, the Negro produced the admirable Negro-songs. Now that soon he shall have equal chance and human opportunities, his destiny shall be still great by the artist works he will contribute to civilization. India is in her birth-throes; she soon shall be free. Ethiopia, self-conscious, is working for her independent and unhindered progress. Peace shall not dawn on this world until Asia and Africa and their ancient peoples are free and enjoy all human rights. Oppressed peoples of the world, unite. Lose no time. Unite! You're truly. GANESH RAO Care of Liberty Hall. 1516 Russel street. Detroit, Mich. THE U. N. L. A. DIV. IN JOBABO, ORIENTE, CUBA, IMPROVES LIBERTY HALL Jan. 14, 1912. The Jobabo Div. of the L. N. L. A. held another election on Wednesday, January 11. when these officers were elected and put in office: Mr. W. E. Jonce, treasurer, who is ex-president succeeded Henry Brooks. Mr. Brooks resigned his office, as he was leaving the city. Mr. Thomas Murphy was elected chaplain. He succeeded Mr. Thomas Corbin, our spiritual advisor. Thomas Corbin was with us since the forming of this division and has done all that is possible among us. The following improvements have been made here in our Liberty Hall; installation of an electric ball, flag pole attached which flies the Cuban flag on Sundays and holidays. Three different flags are to be seen hanging in our hall, namely, Cuban, American and English, awaiting our national flag, Rod, Black and Green, to let our hall look more fascinating. Extra rooms have been added on the hall for the accommodation of those who desire to pay us a visit. We regret to state that the New Year finds us of the Joboab Division mourning the loss of our dear brother, R. A. Coleman, a trustee, who met his end by falling off an oil tank where he was working.

RIVER ROUGE (MICILY) ITEMS U. N. L. A. Division Chapter No. 323 has reached an agreement with the sit John A. M. H. Church, corner of Elliot and Eaton avenues, whereby the church will be the home of both bodies, which are to work hand in hand for the comfort and advantage of each other. Rev. Hurk addressed another good meeting last week. His enthusiasm grows and carries wisdom. In every word. Miss Allie Kennedy has been ill with pneumonia. Friends and Black Cross Nurses called and rendered assistance. At a recent election of officers of the chapter the following were successful: Mr. M. W Simmons, assistant secretary; Mra. M. M. Daniela, assistant treasurer; Board of Trustees, H. C. Ware, chairman; Mr. R. Daniela, M. Hanna, T. M. Williams, V. Smith and B. H. Bankhead. Advisory Board: B. J. Johnson, chairman; C. H. Henry, L.

A., decided to have an evening of rest Last Saturday night a supper was held, the menu comprising plum 'foot' and cabbage, biscuits. "Johnny bread" and many other good things, 18 cents being charged. The affair was a success financially and socially, bringing together many outsiders, who were satisfied beyond expectation. The supper resulted from a suggestion by Mr. Simmons and was given for the benefit of the choir and entertaining chorus. Our open meetings on Sunday afternoons are proving good drawing cards, much interest being manifested and many new members being added to the rolls. Invitations are being extended to the pastors and congregations of every church here, and addresses by the ministers on different dates enable us to reach all the Negroes here. Later on a house-to-house-canvas will be inaugurated. However, many of our intelligent Negroes are not waiting for us to come to them, but they are coming to us in gratifying numbers. We are eagerly waiting to see and hear our President General, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is to speak at Arundale, in Detroit, on February 23, 23 and 24. Chapter 115, U. N. L. A., has reserved a section for the three nights. M. W. SIMMONS. 468 Polk Avenue, River Rouge, Mich. My Prayer BY H. ELIZABETH DOWDEN O, God of Love, Thy children keep, Throughout the coming year, Let them follow as Thy sheep, And feel thy Spirit near. Another year, another league, We've traveled on our way— Go with us Lord, and guide our hearts As humbly now we pray. Let by-gone years and suffering's tears Strengthen as we climb, While moans and groans of wronged souls, Make us a hymn grolime. And, as the order channels, Let friends their vigil keep. To speed the old and greet the new, While for the world shall swear. Oer all the earth let anthems ring, A pissen in men's hearts, While she'll can be not attuned To the hymn—Africo's patte. O, let us hear it louder now, Than we have heard before, And grant that soon our glad song Has sounds from shore to shore. My brother, haste it to prepare. For the day we long to see. When the black man, in his own home land, Shall know his children free. The year is new, fresh courage take, Gird ye the armour eat. Go forth to fight the war of Right. Nor rest 'til flight has won. O. God of All. Thy love-watch keep 'O all the weary earth, And bless the nation that shall know. A glorify new birth.

THE HARVARD EXPEDITION INTO ETHIOPIA N. January 25 the Morning Telegraph of New York City stated in the first two paragraphs of a column and half article: "The tombs of twenty-ix generations of Ethiopian kings buried with other material in the dust and oblivion of 2,000 years have been discovered by the Joint Egyptian expedition of Harvard University and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, working under the supervision of Prof. George A. Reister, E9, of Harvard, who has recently returned to this country after ten years in Egypt, says the Boston Post. The discovery of the lost civilization of Ethiopia was made at Napa, the ancient capital of that country, but now called Gebel Barbal. This expedition, together with other discoveries of archaeologists and anthropologists, has thrown new light upon the Negro's contribution to civilization. The Boston Transcript for December 23, 1921, at the close of an article reprinted from the New York Evening Post, entitled "Negro Civilization," said, "The view that the Negro's place in history and civilization dates from about the time a Dutch ship brought the first slaves to Virginia is not confined to our South, but it is an utterly fantastic view. Not merely did the Negro build up powerful kingdoms in the Nile Valley. He traded with Soloum when Jerusalem was at its greatest importance, and sent gold, ivory, jewels and cloth to the first Greek and Semitic colonies in North Africa. When the advance of Mohammed began Negro students to Islam helped to conquer Northern Africa and Spain. Kingdoms almost worthy of comparison with Ethiopia arose and sank in various other parts of Africa. Archacology is expected to supply much more information upon the history and culture of the Negro. In earliest times and will do its part to give the Negro a larger background and greater dignity." Very interesting also is the experience of William Leon Hanberry, a bachelor of science of Harvard University, who has studied anthropology and archaeology in the graduate school. He says in a communication: "I enrolled in a course in anthropology for the purpose of studying the 'lazy and shifless African savage' about whom I had learnt so much and with whom I regretted I would have to deal. To my amazement I soon found that the 'African savage' was not such a terrible creature after all, but rather an individual possessing great physical energy and mental ability, a person expressing himself in many remarkable kinds of arts and crafts and living under well-ordered social and political institutions of his own making and which are of great age. My work in this connection has carried me into some very interesting considerations—among which have been studies dealing with the influence of the Negro and Negroid peoples on the Paleolithic and Neolithic cultures of Southern Europe; their role in the pre-Chaldean cultures of Western Asia and the pre-dynastic cultures and dynastic civilizations of Egypt; a survey of the Negro and Negroid civilizations of ancient Ethiopia (Nubia); the purely Negro (according to MacIver) and partly Negro (according to Hall) civilizations of ancient Rhodesia; and, finally, the Negro civilization of Yorubuland (Nigeria) and of the ancient and medieval kingdoms of the Sudan." All of this reads like a romance. It has started a world which was解剖 of the cultural achievements and cultural possibilities of the Negro. Auld yere ta March 1910 this compeller of a prospectus for "The African Alzax" (which book was published in August, 1913) stated: "To the student of epilogy there is no more curious and interesting study than that of the black man and his relation to his American environment. It presents this charm, the mystery the unexplored has ever had for the imagination of man. That the black race antipodal to the Anglo-Saxon in color, physical features, in history and traditions could within a generation be quite emancipation from bondage absorb and assimilate the real complex and advanced civilization that the black has ever known to a tale that is as wondrous as Aladdin's Lamp of the Arabian Night's entertainment. Pro. Ferris has traced the story of the black man from the dawn of civilization to his derived rise in the artifice of biting the air of embolage from Herodotus, M论, Striple and Judaism to Peschol, Sapiol, Ripley and Keine, and the known that the Negro is a branch of the Mediterranean race, of men who are of the English, Arabian, Pheasant and early settlement in Greece were of the same origin, and that thousands of years ago this gifted race went to Europe and Africa. He has shown that the Rhodian, one of the most important in the late Middle Aegean, monumentary, tenor and pyrrhizal of race architectural beauty, which was afterward the means of the time, was a special structure of Egypt which has dialed in many ways over a set of races a blending of Confucian Healing and Negro blood, with the Negro strain predominance. He has said that the Negroes were the only race that was long under the influence of the American modern South American South American. scientists and linguists. He has shown how West Indian Negroes have wrested high honors from English, Scotch, French and German universities, been knighted by the queen, honored by royalty and filled high judicial and executive positions in Africa, the West Indies and British Guiana, etc." The U. N. I. A. had not appeared upon the scene twelve years ago, teaching black men and women to respect themselves, to believe in their possibilities and destiny and to entertain fraternal feelings toward each other. Consequently few men of color took the revelations of that prospectus seriously twelve years ago. Tempus fugit—"time files"—is an old Latin proverb, and twelve years has worked a change in the attitude of the world towards the Negro's contributions to civilization. Statements which Negro leaders and Caucasian thinkers, except a few college professors, regarded skeptically twelve years ago and which caused the late Dr. Booker T. Washington to inform a noted Negro bishop that he regarded the propounder of these theories as "a builder of air castles" are now accepted as the truisms of science and heralded in the daily press. as they relate to themselves up," in the hope of a gentle and timid Negro prisoner. People should be warred of the Harleys remove from S. baksheesh from questionable rebellion. Oh, no! no! no! bill of health, a see what is going only they have If the spirits of just men made perfect hover around these terrestrial shores we trust that the spirits of the doubting Thomases who have joined the choir invisible were hovering around the Harvard expedition and around the offices of the New York Evening Post and the Boston Transcript. The revelations would have illumined the souls of men who while they lived in the flesh believed much in the industrial capacities and possibilities of their race but did not have much faith in its cultural history or cultural possibilities. W H F. MARCUS GARVEY-A DEFENSE THE favorite parting shot of "dishonorably discharged" officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to yelp and howl about the "dictatorship" of Mr. Marcus Garvey "The Great I Am," "Imperialist," "Czar," etc., are epithets familiar to those editors and journalists who delight in wallowing in the mure of scandal and vituperation. Of the methods and administrative policies of Mr Garvey they say a "mouthful." It is unfortunate that he is so iron-fisted and damning in his relations with his associates. For this reason the personnel of his organization is "inferior" in point of "culture" and "refinement" and "education." There is no comparison with it and other organizations with better trained men in them, with staffs which boast of college professors and competent experts. All along the line criticism is directed against him because he demands of those about him 100 per cent loyalty above everything else. It is even gossiped that men of "brains" and "experience" have been passed up in preference to men who have shown a maximum of interest in Africa's redemption! Why not? This policy is the outgrowth—the direct psychological reaction—of the tragedy, as the black world knows, of appointing men of "brains" and "experience" to positions of trust and responsibility. From the beginning it was Mr. Garvey's rule to pick out the ablest men he could find and place them in executive office. Experience had taught him that to succeed, to carry out his monster program, brains, and brains of the highest order, had to be pressed into service. With that in mind, he went about the formation of a cabinet, examining selecting, rejecting. In those days it mattered not where a man had come from, what church he attended, what association he was a member of. Only one counted—his fitness. After a rigorous investigation of his character and qualifications he was brought in, appointed according to his ability, and left to his bit in the mighty cause of Africa's freedom. But what did the majority of them do? Did they start to work with the idea of rendering service to the cause, of subordinating personal greed and power to the larger interests of the movement? No. To them affiliation with it meant a means to a very definite personal end. Money, and as much of it as they could lay their hands on, was their purpose. Apart from that they had no interest in Mr. Garvey and his "crazy organization." In time exposures, expulsions and prosecutions followed The man's eyes began to open. Were all Negroes—so-called "educated" Negroes—crooks and liars? With his comparative analytical mind he dismissed that as Anglo-Saxon. That was the white man's way of summing up the whole race. But he had learned his lesson—a pretty dear one, indeed—and he was going to profit by it. What did he do? The fastidious smart-Aleck who drops into his office and overwhelms him with his "cultured" ways and courtyard manners and his protestations of love for the Motherland is seen in his true colors. If necessary, czar-like methods are adopted to exclude rogues and traitors from the organization. "Once bitten, twice shy" Can you blame him? E.D.W. ENGLAND IN EGYPT ANYONE who compares the facts of the British occupation in Egypt with the pretenses made about them will easily convict the British Government of the worst sort of hypocrisy. England seized the country ostensibly to compel the discharge of debts and held it in order to protect the Suez Canal and the route to India. Her career there has resembled that of benevolent imperialism the world around, with a good deal of blackguardism when the native stood in the invader's way and a good deal of painstaking improvement of schools, irrigation systems, health control, and public works of all sorts. The native standards of living have certainly risen under British domination. A host of honest men, a few of them of great intelligence, have worked hard and long and obscurely there and in other countries similarly situated. But the imperialistic motive is never forgotten, and in this year of frank speaking it is openly avowed. The terms the British are now ready to offer Egypt are three, as summarized by the British High Commissioner. "They must," he says, "have full and effective guarantees: first, that the imperial communications to which Egypt is essential are assured; second, that Great Britain retain both the right and power to afford that protection to the foreign communities in Egypt which the governments of these peoples in the existing conditions look to her to supply; third, that Egypt is safeguarded against all foreign interference or aggression, direct or indirect." If these guarantees are given Great Britain is ready to recognize Egypt as a "sovereign state," although obviously this is not the sort of sovereignty that the word was invented to describe. The proposals do not meet the demands of abstract justice any more than the Irish compromise did, yet they are sufficient to draw the feeble of revolt. Probably they will be accepted, and then India will be the only large spot in the empire—Exchange. IT is astonishing how reckless the public is in its charges against the Police Department, especially that branch of it which functions in Harlem, where there are said to be many bad Negroes who really need disciplining by these minors of the law when arrested for real or imaginary infractions of the law. These offenders, with the object of giving our police officers a bad name, sometimes charge them with beating them up in order to make them confess and sometimes kicking and otherwise bolting them in their cells in the police stations; and it is even said that three or four of our "finest" attack by turn one prisoner to put the fear of the Lord in him, and that the whole of them attack him jollyly. If he does not respond to their questionings or if he has the tenacity to reclaim their attack, Bould! as they relate to its treatment of Negro prisoners. These prisoners "beat themselves up," break their own heads and scarify themselves otherwise in the hope of getting something on the police, who are known to be as gentle and timid as rabbits, and who would no more think of beating up a Negro prisoner than they would Governor Miller or the District Attorney. People who make these silly charges against the police should be warned to cease their loose talk, for our police, especially those of Harlem and some of the outlying districts, are only one remove from Sabbath school teachers. They do not swear, drink, take bakesheesh from those who retail hooch by the drink or quart, visit questionable resorts (except on official business) or "club niggers." Oh, no! no! no! Commissioner Enright has given the force a clean bill of health, and this ought to satisfy all the blind men who cannot see what is going on in police circles. The police of Harlem are angels, only they haven't yet gotten their wings. J. E. B. THE NEGRO RENAISSANCE WHY do we term the miraculous rise and growth of the U N I. A. the Negro Renaissance rather than the Negro Rebirth The Rebirth, the being born again, means the entering into a new spiritual experience. But the Renaissance means the revival of that which formerly existed. The Renaissance or Revival of Learning which Petrach started in the fourteenth century A. D. was not the introduction of something new in human history, but it was the rediscovery of the Greek world, the flowering again of Greek civilization in Medieval Europe. So, too, when the U. N. I. A. taught the Negro not to despise himself because he was black, but to look up to the stars and feel his kinship with the Divine, when it taught the Negro that he was created in the Divine image the same as other men, when it taught the world to take seriously the Black Man's desire for justice and his ambitions to achieve big things in the scientific, literary, industrial, commercial and political world, it was not introducing anything new into human history. But it was restoring to black men that confidence in themselves and prestige in the world which they enjoyed twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five centuries ago by the waters of the Nile, the Tigris and the Euphrates and on the plains and plateaus of Ethiopia. Dr. Booker T. Washington came along and said, "Behold, I bring you good news of great joy and glad tidings. I have persuaded millionaires to plant and endow industrial schools in the Sunny South. Follow me and I will land you in the political and educational jobs." The Negro vigorously applauded. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois came along. He, too, said, "Behold, I bring you good news of great joy and glad tidings. I have persuaded editors, scholars and philanthropists, of brains, wealth, family and prestige to help you obtain your citizenship rights and justice in the courts." The Negro vigorously applauded. And then comes a short, broad-shouldered black youth from Jamaica with keen, sagacious eyes and heavy jaws. And he said, "Behold, I bring you good news of great joy and glad tidings. Though you are created of the dust of the earth, God has also breathed the breath of a spiritual life into your nostrils and you have become living souls. You are ashamed because you are black. But I tell you God Almighty estimates a man by the worth of his soul and not the color of his skin. When the angel troubles the pool you are waiting for some trend to lift and carry you into the healing waters. But I say unto you, as (Christ said unto the man sick of the palsy, 'Rise, take up thy bed and walk' Nerve yourself, make-a supreme effort to rise and get into the pool yourself and you will command the respect and challenge the admiration of a hostile world. You can operate factories, found cities and build up enterprises the same as other men." And then the Negro not only vigorously applauded but threw up his hat, jumped on his feet and broke into deafening cheers. Marcus Garvey, despite his perforvid rhetoric, brought to black men something worth while, namely, the belief that they were somebody and counted for something in the world. Next to belief in God, the greatest force that can inspire a man is belief in himself A century ago Novalis was asked whether philosophy could take any bread. He replied, "No; but it can give us God's freedom and immortality." The bread problem is the basic problem of human life. But the stirring of the soul life of a race is not to be despised. The allatory element, the element of luck and chance, has played an important part in the affairs of men. On a Sunday in the latter part of November, 1919, we stood on a pile of logs and watched hundreds of people jump up and down, throw up hats and handkerchiefs and cheer while the Yarmouth, the first steamship of the Black Star Line, backed from the wharf at West 135th street and slowly glided down the North River. It was sturdily built, but it was not a large, speedy, modern-equipped boat. But the news that black men had actually purchased a steamship, manned by a Negro captain and crew and sent her out into the briny deep electrified the Negro peoples of the world as no other event since the Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln did. The fact that the boat actually made two trips to the West Indies, under Negro captain and crew and one under a white captain nand Negro crew kept the flame of this idealism alive until the U. N. L. A. encircled the globe as a great fraternal organization. A commercial venture ended as an uplift of the spirit. It was sown a natural body, it was raised a spiritual body. And that was something of a miracle. The successful carrying out of a vast industrial program takes years. And perhaps some day, sooner than we expect, the industrial aspect, the bread and butter aspect of the U. N. I. A. and its allied corporations, will be as roseate as the spiritual and fraternal aspects are now. It is one of the ironies of human life that one generation harvests what the preceding generation sows; that the generation which does the clearing of forests rarely sees the mills and factories and thriving marts of trade rise. But we hope that those who have done the pioneer work in the present instance will live to see the fruits of their labor. A MATTER OF AGE men who are "old." In other words, the New Negro is not represented so much by age as by vision. Many are the old men who are living upon the hilltop and surveying the valley below. And there are yet a few young men living in the valley shut off from the sunlight of love. So a view of a man's exterior does not determine his soul. There are bent old souls, night to the Great Divide, who are as impatient with wrong and who are as determined that it shall be put down, as younger men who have walked in the light of a newer day. On the other hand, there are young men who are afraid to live, who are peculiarly shut off, who are old—old though-young. Our work is to labor on the souls of men and not on their years. We must judge them by the light they have. They are old when they will not see. They are young when they are susceptible to change, though their years be three score. That any young Negro in a day like this can withhold its membership from the Universal Negro Improvement Association is hard to conceive. Yet it is a fact that some do remain out—true, not many—but there are some who will not see—who will not see, though the heavens are open wide. Noting men with a soul, young men with a future, young men with a death, lying the ground, where you are standing, for it is unholy ground. On it your father's bed, your sisters were outraged. Walk out upon the hilltop of a greater vision and there live with those who really live, for they live to love. If you are a young man but feel yourself growing old, this call is Yesterday I strode into the Library and had a glimpse of her. I cross over to the table next to the paper rack so as to be able to get a good look at her. She eat simply as her task, not ten yards from me, her eyes fixed on the writing she was doing. Her eyelids are long—and fluttering. Entranced, I pass, not impatient, as becomes a stray wrist, but penetratingly, studying the features of this exquisite black virgin. Her hair is black—a mass of shining curls. Bobbed. She is not what F. Scott Fitzgerald or the editors of Mr. Heardy "American" would call a flapper. The pink in the pigment of her velvety black skin is evident. I can see it boring its way to the front. My inquisitive mind send me farther. I look at her throat. It is no longer and slender and beautiful. It is no longer and slender and colorful, as are her brains. It brings about the color beast. What shall I call? Olive? Too misleading a word. Or rice star-apple? There's more like it. For a long time it all dreamed—dreaming—dreaming Of what? Of the fortunes of the flower of her color into the world? Of flight, of aptiation, of propaganda? Not clearly separating my art from my girl-paganda. I sit and prop my chin on my palm and wish I wore an artist. On my canvas I etch the lines of her fleeting figure, I'd know to a T the right shades of color to use to transform her madonna-like face for the world to look and sight at. Her eyecr, her hair, her teeth, his lips—God, those lips! The place is close and I start to go. But before I do that a strange temptation me. Her voice, I wonder what it is like? I go to her. Will—will—you please tell me where and a copy of "Who's Who America" is like a hideous hound she glances at. Self-concious, I think of my unshaved neck and my baggy trouser knees. Iumble at the buckles of my portfolio. Those cyeal I never saw anything so intensely mystical, so appealing, so full of paths and the emotions of a gout. Why, yes, I think there is one over there. Her voice falls on my car as the ripple of a running stream. Her face love—her voice I adore. It is so young, so burdened with life and feeling. I follow the stitch-sutch of her skirt, I get the book and she is gone—gone out of my life! A GREETING FROM DENVER Editor of The Nero World. Dear Sir—I am indeed glad to say that the U. N. I. A. is the only hope of the Negro people—I mean the 400,000,000 Negroes. We must stand together in the U. N. I. A. because this is the only organization that will free the Negro race as other races have been freed. The U. N. I. A. says: "I speak to tollers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—you men who toll upon the ships, the ships of every sea, come bear to me your g. avances, your tales of misery, for I am strong and good and great. For I shall take all Negroes in and bring them victory. You have fallen in fire holes in days that used to be, but now the time must change about. A new day must appear." My advice to the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world is to organize and keep organized for the purpose of demanding your rights as other races. The Lord is good to all and His tender mercies are over all His works. Praterally yours, MRS. I. M. COLE, President of the Lady Division No. 118. Denver, Colorado, Jan. 28, 1923. EDITORIAL NOTES The stories published in the various daily papers about the smuggling in of a pair of shoes to the Negro Boddy, by his sister, which contained two hack saws, eight or ten inches long, and which he extracted and hid in a hole in the wall of his cell, really sounds flahy, and, if true (which we doubt) is a reflection on the watchfulness of those in charge of dangerous prisoners, who should not have permitted any one to smuggle anything to such prisoners. The story goes on to relate that the saws were eight or nine inches long, and hack saws be placed in the sole of an ordinary pair of dress without-being seen? If the shoes given to Boddy were pugged or sewed, how did he extract them? If neither, how did they escape the vigilant eyes of his keepers? The length of the sole of an ordinary pair of shoes from the tip of the sole to instap is not long enough to completely conceal any foreign substance an inches long without it - eing eesh? Why did not Boddy's guard see these saws before the shoes were given him and why was his sister allowed to approach and hand him those shoes and be a rule of authority not instructed "go near enough to condemned prissifiers to hand them any package, etc. fearing they may be given poison and thus cheat the law? W.H.F. Boddy deserves punishment for his crime, and the law has condemned him. Why make him the victim of his victory. The bole in the wall of his cell would be the same in these saws would seem to indicate that the cells in the tombs are unsafe.

Bearing Fruit] | JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 31—Senator McCallum today intro- duced in the State Senate in session here a concurrent resolu- tion providing for the Legislature of Mississippi to memorialize the President of the United States and the National Congress to secure by treaty, by purchase or other negotiation sufficient ter- ritory in Africa to make a suitable and final home for the Amer- ican Negro, where, under the tutelage of the American Gover- ment, he can develop for himself a great republic, to become in time a free and sovereign state and take its place at the council board of the nations of the world. | _. Senator McCallum proposes to use such part of the allied war debt as may be necessary to acquire such territorial possessions to the end that America shall become a nation of one blood, as it is in spirit, and, as he says, “To give the American Negro opportunity for the development of racial rights under the most advantageous circumstances.” [Forror’s Nore.—That this resolution is the direct outgrowth of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is conceded by the harshest critics of the philosophy of the Garvey movement. With President Harding's famous Birmingham spcech, as every one knows, the Negro World is in hearty aécord. The President, as he so ably puts it, is ready to champion the industrial and political rights of the Negro Senator McCallum, with the vision of a statesman, proposes to put in practice the thing Mr. Harding believes in and approves of—the thing Marcus Garvey has been fighting and agitating for the last seven years—an independent Negro government in Afnca.

LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK AUGUST 1 TO 31, 1922 LONDON, Jan 8 (A. P.)—Anti-white feeling is that increasing among the unives in various parts of Africa, states Reuters in an article "based on documentary and other evidence obtained at first by an authoritative British observer who has visited every part of Africa." Reuters's informant emphasizes the growing cohesion of native races throughout the continent. He says the strongest factor in the development of antagonism to the whites is "skillful propaganda fostered by an extreme section of American Negroes." "Circumlare coming from Nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from Pan-African societies in the United States, translated into five of the principal African languages, are distributed in enormous numbers throughout Africa," the traveler states. "Booklets of 25 to 50 pages urge that the time has arrived, for the black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoka. "It is only fair to say," adds the authoritative British observer, "that these are not received with universal sympathy, but the very unsettling effect is easy to be observed." He has met it in the Union of South Africa, in French Equatorial Africa and in a lesser 'greece' in Uganda, in Myanmar, Belgian Congo, Abyssinia and Kenya. "It is wonderful the extent to which the war has produced fraternal tensions among natives, but in present circumstances they tend to become anti-European," he continues. "The main reason is the growth of race consciousness through the world." "The most effective remedy is an equitable system of land guaranteeing to the native a stake in the country, protection from eviction by his own chief or local European interest and a system of higher education that provides something more than the IS MRS. JOHNSON FORGOTTEN? To the Editor of The Negro World. Permit me to comment on the prominent men of Harlem for their sympathhetic move towards the bereaved widows in the persons of Mrs. Buckley and Mrs. Miller, who in every sense are worthy of the donation, and I am undoubtedly sure will receive with appreciation. To begin with I hope the readers will not get the wrong conception of the sympathy and will give as much support as possible to the greatest cause. But I think the promoters of the great cause have made an awful blunder by omitting a fact which should have been considered and connected with the benefit given. That is, Mrs. Johnson, who has, unfortunately, during the same day and closely in connection with the same crime, suffered in like manner as the two mentioned widows. Now in the name of fairness, isn't Mrs. Johnson entitled to the same consideration as the two? Was not she depending on her beloved husband for the only means of support just as the other two? Then why is her name not figuring in the great cause? is she forgotten, or is she too insignificant to be thought of? Sir William H. Ferry, Elizabeth Worland Sir—It is most regrettable that you cannot see it possible as yet to dedicate at least two pages of your most valuable paper to the Spanish-speaking element of our noble race, and have some of your historical and indisputable editorial translated into the Spanish tongue. I have noticed that the colored Cubans are becoming very much interested in the doctrine of the U. N. N. A. throughout the entire Republic Whenever I announce that I will be speaking in Spanish, hundreds flock in and around the Liberty halls eager to hear the glad tidings of the U. N. I. A. and its wonderful program; many becoming members. In Santiago, Guantanamo, Banes and Camagua there are to be found a large amount of Cuban members who are proud to wear the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, among whom are to be found men and women of local and national fame, as Senores Americana Portunado, Eligio Dilu Folix Moncada, Luis Raymon, Senorita Luisa Raymon, Marcelino Wilson, Santajuan Casamayer, Iliminado Ancelo, Juan Castillo, Arturo Garcia, Rafael Landrian and many others. These Cubans have begun a historical research re: the works published by notable Cuban Negroes such as Antonio Maceo (founder of the Cuban Reputillo), General Moncada Brindis de la Sala (famous violinist), etc. They are also asking for historical facts about Africa and other great leaders of the race past and present. I also hope that before this year of racial progress shall have endured I may be privileged to see at least one page of the Negro World printed in French, which will make it the leading newspaper of the world, irrespective of race your approval I remain as ever, Yours for the unificate the 400. 000.000 throughout the world, and the ultimate redemption of the motherland.

We have also joined in to miss with a civilization that he understands and is able to apply himself. We are urging a change. The political boundary has been insured and in this readintroduction, every Race is endowed as security to protect its own integrity. Hence, the cry for the Pola, Palestine for the Jews. All the Negroes in America, Canada, the West indies, South and Central America, are descendants of the native African peoples of the Western World to work as slaves during which period of time we came in contact with the white man's civilization. Oft of the contact, we have developed a culture that is deeply rooted in the intellectual worth of the present-day Negro. The present generation of Negroes is far removed from the elders of one hundred years ago. The Negro mixture in the civilization that he understands and is able to cope with. Today the world is undergoing a change. The political boundaries of humanity are being redefined. The world is becoming more homey, sometimes secretly secured to protect the inhabitants. Hence, the cry of Ireland for food is growing. AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS The Universal Negro Improvement Association—the greatest Negro organization in the world—is now making the cry of Africa for the Africans: at home and those abroad who were torn from their homes in the age ago and worked for the cause were here in this Western bamibunda, but who are today numbered among the civilized peoples of the world. CIVILIZED NEGRO MUST FOUND A GOVERNMENT With the civilization of the Western North, we must found a Government of our own in Africa and build it. The race which the Race may alms out is the Christian principles of life. STRONG CONDICIAL STATE IN LIBERIA The Universal Negro Improvement Association has laid its plans for the redevelopment of Africa by first building up a strong industrial and commercial state in Liberia, West Africa. Liberia was established over one hundred years ago and is now the largest country in the world, dominated by all colored people. The President and entire Government are cooled.

Punishment Alms and objects English dictation Exposition Mathematics and bookkeeping Pneumanship Atms and objects CHARLES YOUNG, COLONEL The tildes just relapsed from the Liberian boundary of the mansion of CHARLES YOUNG, who simply sits the emotions. For there was but one Charles Young and there was no regular army colonel like him. Upon his shoulder straps the colonel's eagle bore an especial significance—he had soared to win it and none other of his kind had ever achieved it. For this man's skin was black. He was of a race despised, an American with the barristin upbraids him, and was one of the countrymen for whom, so some would have it. It is ordained only tillage, serdism, the rank, and the private's uniform, but never the officers. Distinction and leadership are not to be theirs, good enough they are to be thrown into the muelstrom of a world war by the hundred thousand, but not good enough to lead others or themselves. Was there a Congress or themselves? Was there a Union that it "is not worth a curse as long as a distinction exists between Negroes and horses"? Yet here was this man Charles Young who truly recognized such a distinction. When but a lad he dared to entertain the portals of a West Point dedicated to the military caste and the white. For five long years he & dured ostracism and insult, but would not be denied. Where others had failed he pre-served and triumphed. There was a German general about that time, when it was still fashionable to regard the Prussians as the ablest sons of Mars, who visited West Point. "What was it," he was asked, "that you liked best." "The best thing I saw was the black cadet in charge of a section of artillery," that is a soldier. And so Charles Young went forth a Heutenot to rise by steady steps in the two cavalry regiments of the blacks. He knew how to avoid the pitfalls laid for him; he understood perfectly that for him there must be a special code of uprightness and of duty. For him would be fatal the slip that meant glazing laughter for one of a lighter skin. So he bore his self blamelessly and looked daily in the eyes of all men without shame, without fear, and with a great pride. He had God-given tact; he had how not to offer and yet how to keep a complete self-reacock. He in-truded nowhere, yet he asked all rights of his uniform and so compelled the respect of his associates that, be it set down to the credit of the army, he obtained the justice which alone he asked. So it came to pass that years after he had had his baptism of fire he commanded a battalion of his retiniment in the field of Texas, where black men were once slaves and there he messed around with them. He cared, every one of whom was white! It was social equality, if you please—that dreaded scourge to offset which men the Stars and Stripes. But nothing happened to this organization; there was a friction among the acclaim. The heavens above did not fall; neither did any inspector-general report aught but what was good and soldierly of this battalion. Perhaps it was because of this perhaps because it was a friction between the smaller unitaries of the Stars and Stripes was none better than Charles Young's Ninth Ohio Separate Battalion (with which no white man served), that when Charles Young was issuant-colonel and our flag went into Mexico in 1816 it was apparent that captain after its colonel was disabled. J. Pershing who commanded that colonel sent, frultlessly, to capture Villa. "dead or alive," and throughout it was Pershing who kept Young at the head of the Tenth Cavalry when he was been easy to put a white colonel over the black lieutenant-colonel's head. As the justice of the service ended there—without question because Woodrow Wilson, the Southernist, was President. Boon there were military medical man found who discovered in Charles Young a disease no civilian doctor could ever detect. Just when the opportunity to show what a colored commander could do when the greatest Young the same came for Charles Young the same came for a full rank of colonel as an underestimated Activity was his, just, but it would not be to let this man show again what he could be in the field. Likewise his gift could not brook, this "disabled," man was ready for service anywhere. Elocution Mathematics and bookkeeping English dictation Cora B.

Va., Jan. 37—A short time ago several of the leading citizens of Kimball organized the Ethiopia Mercantile and Realty Company, Inc. with a capital stock of $10,000. To date $6,000 of that sum has been subscribed. The company was incorporated to do general wholesale and retail grocery, mercantile business and real estate. The company has purchased a piece of land for $1,300. This site overlooks the Norfolk and Western Railway, and is in the busiest section of lower Kimball. Already plans are being drawn to erect a modern three-story apartment building. At present great enthusiasm seems to be evinced for the company and its project. There are several magnificent buildings, and in probability there may be a consolidation of the colored corporations of this section. J. H.

Our division is lagging because our members are nasty all unarmed at present. This forces them to be a little backward. However, we are still trusting that 1922 will not only bring so peculiary happiness, but will bring up the enemy. We are still waiting for-the unity of 400,000,000. Regret very much to chlpendle the death of Miss Nancy Gouldonbour on Dec. 19, 1821, as also Miss Josephine Manszane, who departed this life on Thursday morning. January 12. Our members turned out in a loving vein to pay their last tribute to our once race, our race, bought it all last day, our race, all last day, to regret. We are still forgiving our way while earnestly praying for the appearance of our trading ship once more. We are not downhearted, but we need that refreshing stimulant that throws vim and vigor all through our hearts; we day by day pray for our outstretched arms on our mobile, remain bound for guiding of the future destiny of this grand and noble race. Our mass meetings, as usual, are always graced with propaganda influence which are the mainstays of the movement. Meanwhile we have Negroes who are working with night and main to spoil the harmony of our division, and to downplay the downfall of our division. Why? Because they did not expect to see the division going straight forward with the parent body, as many of them only joined to see what they could get from the division; but with the keen eyes of our noble president, backed up with our sealsome executive officers, we are now in the position to propaganda publicly manifested by the "knockers and crooks." Nevertheless the hopes of our faithful ones are built on solid rock, and we mean to fight the enemies for the noble cause of the U N. I. A.

At our mass meeting held on Sunday, January 18, our first male vice-president, gave us a stirring address, emphasizing strongly that we must "regenerate". Mr. Cato, who is our scoliosis specialist, gave us a heart-wrenching address. "We must that we must all pray to Almighty God for the upkeep of our noble leader, and as our leader and ourselves cannot attain the heights we are aiming as unless with firm belief and constant supplication to our Lord Jesus Christ, who he (speaker) is certain is the designer of the plan, the aim and object of our mission, who so unfaithfully is fighting for the 400,000,000 of our trodden race.

POSTON The New York local is to be companied by its executive display of business initiative, and by opening a group's store at 417-West 138th street, New York city. Allocal with membership so large and enthousiasm so bigh, is compled, to succeed. The New York local enjoys a distinction and an advantage over other divisions because of its geographical locality. Being located in New York, the fountain head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, where the doctrines of the association are espoused continually by the Hon. Marrus Garvey and other members of the High Executive Council, this division should be unrequited one. The New York local is now operating the Universal Restaurant and Grocery Store two basic industries. Its membership, in order to enthust must eat, and the grocery store and restaurant offer the outlet. This store and restaurant are the beginning of an antitached chain of stores and restaurants to be opened in Harlem. The advantages in operating and profits accriving from co-operative enterprises are vastly releaging privately-owned enterprises to the past. The circumstances surrounding both makes competition impossible. In privately-operated enterprises you will usually find a limited capital, which means limited credit at a high rate, with the consumer paying an exorbitant price. The company will find a co-operative enterprise which will find a make cash purchases at a low rate, enabling the consumer to buy at a moderate rate. The Department of Labor and Industry is extending itself in cooperating with these enterprises. We have established in New York a commission merchant department, whose work is in co-operate with the farmers and the growers of their commodities in the various cities. We received from Florida this week a large shipment of grapefruits, lettuce and beans, and we are anticipating from North Carolina an entire shipment of a truck crop of fresh vegetables. One farmer in Georgia, who shipbed the crop, was sweet potato last week, the prompt other large shipment of the same this week. We are planning to circulate the West Indian Island, South and Central America, for produce raised by Negro farmers. By getting our produce direct from the producers we will be able to sell it at a cheap rate, which will enable them to sell to the consumer at a cheaper rate than other concepts. Any division operating or contemplating operating a store or restaurant is requested to correspond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and provide a position to supply you with these various forms of produce.

The honorable president, Mr. J. B. Sutton, introduced the loyal and stalwart members of the division, the honorable field worker, Mr. Haines, whose topic was, "The Right is of Us." He explained that the mission was passing through, and that now, in the time that the members should stand loyal to the U. N. L. A. The Right - Honorable Second Assistant General Secretary, Mr. Porter, also delivered a thoughtful address, and that the Right Honorable General, Dr. Glenn, whose topic was, "Mid-Gray Bears the Cross. Alone and All the Negroes Go Free." An important part of the speech, which Dr. Glenn emphasized, was, "We, the 400,000 Negroes, of the world, stated that we are our duty to see that the program is not bitter." This utterance was tremendous, as explained. This discussion is more determined now than ever that the Right must go on for a free and unrestricted Adoption.

It must not be assumed that she related her affair, in the direction of improving her own intellect whilst quickening, that of her fellow citizens, for several years before her death. University which dited her, for that well compiled "Missing Pages of American History", in which she revealed the services of the Negroes to the United States from 1641 to 1815. But her contribution to the race's literature did not and was not less than less, being the most fascinating and distinctive contribution to the literature of the Negro in the United States of America, and up to the time of the illness which resulted in her ultimately death. Miss Wilkes was actively preparing a "Treatise on the Negro" and would report will be completed and published at an early date. Miss Wilkes was throughout her life most helpful to those young members of her race who were, engaged in art, literature, or music, and who struggled to make themselves articulate. Despite her struggles, she quickly, quietly, lethargy, ambition where genius, talent, existed. Always having the higher interest of her race at heart, she instilled in the minds of the youths of the race, a high had been in possession of the county of alder and schreiner which men and women of the race had accompanied, and with which the needs of history is adored. With an adding faith in God, and his tender marries that was a devout church woman. The sympathy and understanding which endured is to motivate, was may may released in the immediate church spirit, and the following thanks to be worth contained in the "statement filed by the Record of Education, Washington, D.

Question is if the teacher is in the primary school and pub. 1821. of that grade at the time of her death, January 7, 1822. "Miss Wilkes was a compiler at a pamphlet containing a number of the engrants of the late Fadderick Dumlas, which at one time was used as a reference in the colored schools of the district. She wrote also Missing Pages from American History." "Miss Wilkes was a woman of Myths and lived up to these results and as a teacher, she no doubt infused for good the lives of women, of the worthy citizen and the schools an accomplished teacher." "Unfortunately for the sake, because of Miss Wilkes'iring dispersion—a characterization of all truly great persons—her work was not universally known among the English speaking Nations of the world, and it is to be hoped that the dissemination and circulation of her writings will be taken up by her devoted brother, who resides in literary education on behalf of her people, who receives that need of appreciation which her unending sacrifice and devotion to the cause of her race's mutilt, so readily deserves.

DIAGNE TO TASK FOR PRO-WHITE ATTITUDE "If Upper Silasia Is for the Poles," Writer Says, "Ireland for the Irish, India for the Indians and Egypt for Egyptians, Why Not Africa for the Africans?" BY A TOGOLANDER Please kindly permit me space in your most valuable journal so as to make known unto the world the type and selfishness of Blaise Diagna, a deputy representing the French Senegal in the Pan-African Congress. Birds of the same feathers flock together. I am duty bound to expose the selfishness of B. Diagna of Senegal in so brief an account. Being a reader of the Negro World, my only sincere glove at heart—Bible because it teaches us to find and worship "Ons God," our Creator, heartily as the only Omnipotent Creator, industrially, educationally and socially trained—the pryvidence which the so-called Christianized world shall never give unto Negroes. The Dahomean Mission B. Dhagae was sent out from Paris some years ago as a head commissioner for recruiting African Negroes to fight the Germans in Europe. He reached Dhagae with all his accents, and through his fattering words about the French new policy in store for her colonies after the "Great World War," many Dhagaeans collapsed impunity and without imagination that one of the war of death can promise even to give away all his belongings; but evil is always the regimen. B. Dhagae promised to be fellow Negroes that he (Dhagae) should be at their side in all their needs on the battlefield and at home (Africa). After the signing of the Armistice many of the Negro soldiers were wounded at Cottonon (the chief support of Dhagae), both "ables and disabled"; but B. Dhagae failed to fulfil his promise and does not care to know of their sufferings in Africa; the old Irish hand is still pressed on them as before. But B. Diagna became more renowned for rouilling so many African Negroes, who fought and bled, through which B. Diagna is a celebrity today, though the poor troops are now suffering bitterly, to which B. Diagna pays no attention but simply passes quickly to hotels in Paris for champagne, etc. Diagna, as the Germans said to his fellow Negro troopa, "Der Moor hat seine letzte schützen," "Mow" kann letzte schützen." The Pro-White Congress Alk. me! Black-white Djigna, be sure that you shall give an account on a day of the poor souls you have entiended and mown to their ultimately graves, profites, to their soil, where they are awaiting to welcome you! What do the "New Negroes" export from the white-chosen leaders or representatives? Is there any sweetness in the white of an egg? The climate in Africa, which it was, said cannot suit the West Indian and American Negroes; but have Europeans are coming by every steamer and working for their living in a wonder unto me! Djigna had so forgition; to inform his colleagues at the session of the pro-wife congress—the incalled Pan-African Congress—that he served his masters at Cottonou for some years in the American Djignaen, whose wife later, Why then make a sacrifice to the climate? This poetic earth of Africa Where then wert born and bred. Small overthrow thee. For thus that denounced thy native land.

Many times have I thus appeared; many times hitherafter shall I come again" (Bhagavad Gita, p. 54). Before writing this I believe Du Bols must be converted, because Negroes here (in Africa) aspect no good from a man who cannot get himself to Madison Square Garden without payment in August, 1920, which proved his selflessness as that of B. Dilagma, who carets not to know of what befell his poor fellows who fought and bought him his fame with their precious blind. THE NEGRO MOSES By L. E. HARRIGAN In the Daily News, Saturday, Jan. 14, 1922, there was an article printed about Marcus Garvey, under the head- ing of "Negro Moses' Ire Roused as Power Crumbles." In the beginning it read "Marcus Garvey, huge, blue-black, president of the African republic, which is as yet a paper nation." Was George Washington looked upon as a blue- white president of an American re- public which was at that time but a paper nation and through his brave spirit and determination, was able to make his vision a reality? George Washington was laughed at by many, even by his own people, whenever he spoke of a free and independent American republic. It was John Stark, Brigadier-General, who said: "As a people we had been too long dependent to walk alone, with a free step; our government had been subordinate—our military subordinate—and to this day we are hardly exempted from the subordination of intellect thus engendered; in the church only we had been left to the free action of our own resources, and natural enough, the mind busied itself largely with the subjects of the Divina. George Washington saw the need to step forward and represent his people, and to free them from the British yoke. He was scorned and laughed at by the fore-persons of many who today are enjoying the fruits of his labor. So it was with George Washington, so it is and will be with Marcus Garvey; he too has been touched by the Divine hands; the same God who gave the vision to George Washington of a free and independent America, is the one who has given a similar vision to Marcus Garvey of a free and redeemed Africa; since it was possible for George Washington, it is possible for Marcus Garvey. It is the oppression, not only of the British, not only the lynching and burning in America, but it's the joke placed upon the Negro's shoulder the world over that has brought this man on the scene. If there was no sympathy extended to the white man in America by Great Britain, we of the Negro race fall to see where there can be any sympathy coming from the white race that will carry us anywhere. We Negroes who possess the spirit similar to that which followed George Washington are determined to follow Marcus Garvey until we shall have attained our object, which is a free and redeemed Africa. NEGRO IS COMING FORWARD RAPIDLY IN DRAMA WORK With the same faith manifested by the dozen or more producer throughout the country who have, during the past summer, erected thethemes to be supplied with colored talent, Frank Egan is about to launch a similar venture that promises to be an important local movement. That the American Negro is rich in artistic possibility has been fully demonstrated by the work of such men as Derrick Gillis, whose work in "The Emperor Jones." Kenneth Mecgowan, after considering the difficulties he had to overcome, has rated as "the best among the acting of 1870-1891." Knowing the importance that the play holds in the success of such a venture, Mr. Egan has been careful to select a worthwhile medium for the display of the latent ability of the Negro talent -hoan. "Africanum," written by Eloise Bibb Thomson, former special contributor to the magazine section of the Los Angeles Sunday Tribune, is said to be a play of transgender possibility, with emotional material great enough for the enthythmia of any professional cast.

FEBRUARY 11, 1022 THE NEGRO MUST BE FREE R. T. BROWN In declaring to the world that the Negro must be free and that Africa must be redeemed, we have sounded a trumpet that shall never call retreat. In the struggle for the all-round freedom and emancipation of this race of ours from the age-long thrdalm and oppression which hovered over us, we Negroes must nail our colors to the mast. There must be no turning back on the part of the loyal, awakened and determined liberty-owing sons of Ham. The fight is on real and deadly earnest, and it must be fought till the last roll-call, or until victory crowns our efforts. Wide-awake. Negroes everywhere must realize that the struggle for the freedom of this oppressed and much-maligned race of ours is going to be a real man's fight, and that we shall have to call to the front all that is good and true, noble and pure, brave, and faithful in us. If there ever was a time in the history of our race and people, when we need wise, bold, sagacious, honest, self-reliant, sober-minded men and women, then that time is "Now." We must steel our hearts and prepare for the struggle with a vengeance. Lot us choose wisely and well the course along which we intend to travel. That choice is "the freedom of our race and the redemption of the fatherland." The Negro race is no exception to the rule. Brave men and noble women in bygone years have bared their breasts in "Freedom's holy cause," and if we are in earnest about the redemption of Africa and the freedom of the race, we can do no better than to be prepared for any fate. This race of Negroes of which I am pleased and proud to form a part must, and eventually, assume its rightful place among the races of the world, and it behooves us Negroes to stake our all upon victory. Four hundred million men, women and children, scions of the House of Ham, a people whose ancestors in ages past thrilled the world, and whose brothers, sons and fathers at the present time are yearning for the chance to demonstrate to all mankind that they are worthy descendants of noble ancestors have no right, no reason to be slaves. We must create our own opportunity. We must enter in all the avenues of human endeavor. r. and show to the world our courage, our daring, our genius, our perseverance, our faith in God and in the race, as well as in the justice of our cause. Make no mistake about it: Africa shall, must and will be redeemed. There is hardly a power on earth that will be able to successfully baffle the calm, cool earnest, unsurveyed determination of a race of 400,000,000 to be free, and to have a government of our own which the world must respect, except themselves. We therefore owe it to ourselves to banish hate, envy, jealousy, and the other petty grievances which hold us apart in former days; to see in each and every Negro a brother fighting in the same sacred cause of liberty, and then present one solid phalanx to overform of oppression and opposition which confronts us. If a few million Irishmon, a little band of Montenegro, a few million Serbs, as well as of Greeks and others have been able to impress the world with the justice of their cause, and have their governous respected by the nations of the earth, then how much more will 400,000,000 of Negroes be able to accomplish. If we stand solidly to the cause of the Negroes and African redemption So now, "It is up to the Negro" to be free or to parish. Let him choose. It is written in the firmamentes of heaven that "the Negro must be free and Africa redeemed," and we Negroes of the present day, in whose breasts burn the fires of freedom, urged on with divin inspiration in the justice of our cause, and our hopes laid on the promises of Jehovah, who has promised that "Princes shall come up out of Egypt, and Ethiopia shall soon stretch her hands unto God." shall press forward to a grand and glorious victory. And this movement going forward like a mighty river surging onward to the sea, shall sweep away in its course everything that avows of oppression, Jim-crowism, segregation, race-hatred, jealousy and treachery, and finally reaching the ocean of freedom, demand, command, tmpel and inspire awe, respect and admiration for the Negro peoples of the world. DR. GRANDISON LECTURES IN COLORADO SPRINGS Dr. C. N. Grandison, field representative for the U. N. I. A., spent two weeks in Colorado Springs giving some very important lectures on the U. N. I. A. He told how it benefited Negroes in every respect. Everyone that heard him lecture on this subject was willing to do their bit and help support this great organization. His last lecture, "What's the Matter With Sambo," was a very thrilling one. He reviewed Sambo from older times up to the present. He told us what was the matter with Sambo and he certainly had to wake up and come out of his hiding place, because this world wasn't waiting on sleepy people and that he must get up, come out in this world and stand up like a man for himself and his race.

HARTFORD DIVISION HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING HARTFORD DIVISION HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING January 16, 1922. Hartford Division of the U N L A. and A C L beld a very interesting mass meeting on January 11 and 12, 1022, under the supervision of the Ion Arden Bryan, High Commissioner of the State of Connecticut for the Negro people. On Wednesday, the 11th, the meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. Fred F G Smart, who occupied the chair on both nights. After prayer by Hon. Chaplain Rev M Washington, the meeting opened with the singing of "From Greenland's joy Mountains," after which the "Star-Spangled Banner" was played by the band. Songs by the choir and Black Cross Nuraces were rendered beautifully. Then the president read the objects and aims of the U N L A. A saying, "We intend to establish a universal of fraternity among the Negro people." The students' marks were inspiring and were well received. The first speaker on the program was Mr. W. G. Willon, ex-president, who took for his subject, "Work Work for One and All Old and Young." He said that the U N L A. A needs honest men and women. The Hon. Commissioner responded. His subject was "Liberty." He said: "The Negro is to feel that what other nations have accomplished and achieved he could accomplish and achieve. He needed to be taught to respect the Red, Black and Green as he respected the Stars and Stripes or the Union Jack of Great Britain. On Thursday, January 12, the meeting was also inspiring. The lady president, Mra. L. Downing, was the first speaker. Mr. Thomas Brown, first vice-president, spoke upon the "Uplift of a race. Duct by Mra. Gaines, first lady vice-president, and Mra. Carrie accompanied by Mra. Hookman piano. Mr. Joseph Censor, general secretary, Mr. John Stricklein and H. V. Smith, treasurer, also spoke. Reading by Mra. Nellie Hill, "Goodbye America. We Are Going Over on the Black Star Line Some Day." was received with thundorous applause. The High Commissioner concluded the evening's program with another philosophical and eloquent address. WILLIAM H. WOOD. Assst Secretary PICKENS URGES RE- WRITING OF HISTORY William Pickens of the N A C P. C. testifying before the Commissioner of Accounts of New York City, made a plea that the played by Negroes be included in American history. "I went through public school," he said, "and graduated from Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a black man who shot Major, Pitcairn at Bunker Hill, or that one man out of every ten at the Battle of Lake Erie was black, or that in the war of 1812 there were many black men behind the American parapet of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of colored soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that without the 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they would never have won. "For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential. I wa. our histories to show the part that colored soldiers played in the great war." THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO Africa for the Africans, those at home and abroad—the watchword of the awakened Negro; advance—the goal of a free and redened Africa. Africa is the rightful home of all Negroes. Our fathers were brought to this Western Hemisphere by white men as slaves, and having worked and toiled for them for 300 years without any pay and under untold suffering, we were freed about sixty years ago in the United States and about eighty-five years ago in the British West Indies; we fought for and won our freedom in Haiti and San Domingo. The contract of the white slave-hold was to teach us "civilization" and everything that goes with it. We are now 50,000,000 strong and very much "civilized," and now desire what all other civilized people desire—freedom—free mentally, physically, and otherwise. And since we are, as a matter of fact, denied complete citizenship by the United States, we live on we live, for no other reasons than our color. we demand our God-given heritage—Africa. Yes, the 300,000,000 at home must enjoy the country, and if white men want to continue to live in Africa in peace it must be as partners in trade—the equal, giving and taking—exchange. But how are we to make good our watchdog? By precisely the same manner as the missionary does, although of a next principle, that of the greatest height of human ideal, love and faith in our brothers, the African. We must reach our brothers and provide for them schools of learning to teach them the art of Western civilization, and meet on the common ground of religious faith and love—One God, One Aim, and One Destiny. But how and where is this to be done? In Africa itself. Each man that goes to Africa is a missionary, an advance guard for Negro development, especially between the Sahara and the Zimbabwe. and see to it that the European does not get either fats or any food for negroes for nothing, but when he gives us money, he must make certain that Central Africa shall be the home of the great Negro race, whether H. G. Wells likes it or not. I hope that if any African at home reads this he will understand that he has black men like himself, just as intelligent as the white man, on this side of the world, who like him, well, and I hope that the great black chief may soon send some of us to you, to let you know the truth, and we know it shall set us free. Central Africa an Open Door Now- Make a Definite Scheme to Secure It It is the clear duty of the Negro race in this Western Hemisphere to make a supreme effort in getting a helping hand to Central Africa. One of the mandatory sphere lies in this zone, Cameroon The history of Europe has been a history of struggles to be free from injustice and tyranny Too frequently hasty and ill-considered measures were adapted by many of our peoples in Africa and met with failure development of the African Race In my humble opinion it seems that the logical and sane way of going about it is by organization and intelligent commercial and industrial development on racial lines. We must have cleansing communication in order to connect the various groups scattered all over the world, there must be factories and dwellings the former to work in, the latter to live in, all over the world, as well as in Liberia. A successful trade on racial lines will undoubtedly lend courage to the disheartened, and give impetus to the backward and dormant. A lengthy delay in these achievements, which have been so well begun by the U. N. L. A., is a worthless to contemplate. To those who are the victims of possibility I plead in earnest, "Make haste." Yes, I repeat, "the king's business need haste." The Judge is at the door. The whole African race awaits, the world is looking on. Can you afford to treat the issue lightly? Let us all of the African race, lend our moral and financial support Now, then, all together. 135TH ST. LIBRARY NOTES "Modern Racial Problem" Thursday evening. Feb. 9.

THE FUND ORATOR LIKENS GARVEY'S PATIENCE TO JOB'S Officers of New Orleans Division Discuss Actions of Treacherous Foes of Association and Conclude That the Duty of All Branches Is to Stick to Leadership and Wise Statesmanship of Hon. Marcus Garvey By NELLIE H. C. UTER, Assistant Secretary On Sunday night, January 22, despite the unfavorable weather, a large crowd of members attended the meeting of the New Orleans Division of the U. N. I. A. In the faces of the members one could see the expression of a deep-seated determination to carry on the work of our organization. Before the meeting started the members were busy seeking the opinion of each other on the arrest of Hon. Marcus Garvey, and from every corner the expression came forth. "We must still get together closer and present to Negro traitors and others a consolidated force. Never till the U. N. I. A. submit to a leadership that means nothing to the Negro. Marcus Garvey first and last, right or wrong." THE U. N. I. A. IN VANCOUVER, CANADA, FORGING FORWARD Vancouver has been wonderfully blessed during the month of December in having the pleasure of entertaining the High Commissioner for Canada, Garvey and the Church The New Orleans Division No. 149 called upon the executive Secretary, Mr William Phillips, to deliver an address in defense of the propaganda against Hon Marcus Garvey, January 18, 1922. Mr Phillips truly rose to the occasion, delivering an address that did credit to the office which he holds. In the heat of his discussion he turned aside to answer some of the Negro preachers' criticisms of Hon Marcus Garvey. Among the questions he asked were: Why is it the Negro preachers preach so much about David weeping over the walls of Jerusalem? The wisdom of Solomon? The patience of Joan? The impregnable faith of Peter? Why is it they fail to preach that David sent Uriah to the front line so that he might be killed in battle in order for him to get his wife? Why is it they fail to preach the sacredness of Solomon's concubines? Why is it they fail to preach that Peter wanted to segregate the Gentiles and that his action caused a fight between himself and Paul and they had to go up to Jerusalem to settle it? Marcus Garvey has never been implicated in any scheme like the Pine Grove Company, which caused an old lady to drop dead when she found that she had lost everything she possessed Marcus Garvey was shot for doing something for the Negro and not for jumping through a window. As soon as these soldiers of the cross learn to preach to the people a doctrine for the good of the people then they will be able to teach the heart of the New Negro. The Industrial Effects of Garveyism Marcus Garvey has organized the U N I A four million strong and through the organisation he has caused the Negro to do great things. Before the U N I A. A was organized in the city of New York, the Negro had no business of any note but today you will find that out of this great movement not only have the Black Star Line and the Negro Factories Corporation been organize, but hundreds of independent companies have been founded by its members throughout these United States and other countries. The Negro has found that they have found their rightful employment as the result of Marcus Garvey's teachings. Hundreds of divisions have bought property and opened businesses. And some of these giant birdmen have the audacity to make harmful utterances concerning the greatest living Negro. Truth, Marcus Garvey has the patience of Job. Many a man, having the trials that he has had, would have long ago said, "Why should I jeopardize my character for Negroes who are doubtful and treacherous?" But he, like Job. asks, "I shall work and wait." "commissioner of Louisiana Speaker Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, State Commissioner for Louisiana, delivered an impassioned address on the "Insecurity of Negroes." He truly laid bare the situation with which we are confronted. He stated that the arrest of Marvin Garvey was the result of a well- laid plot by other Jesuit Negroes whose desire is to discredit Marvin Garvey and the U. N. I. A. Hon. Mr. Anderson has been doing wonders since coming to this state. The New Orleans Division has been benefited much by his activities. On several occasions he has delivered very addresses to this division. He has found many stunch friends and admirers among the membership. On February 12, 1922, the New Orleans division will stage the greatest mass meeting ever staged in this city. The Hon. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wm. Phillips are working together for the success of this great meeting. The divisions of Allegers, Kanner, Gretea, Tunisburgh, New Orleans Chapter and Westwgo will participate. HIGHER STATUS FOR PORTO RICO WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—Porto Rico would be given territorial status under a bill introduced today by Representative Nolan (Rep. Cal). The measure provides that funds collected through taxation and customs receipts shall be devoted "sidely to" education, sanitation and such public works on the island, as the Interior Legislature may prescribe. --- THE U. N. L. A. IN VANCOUVER, CANADA, FORGING FORWARD 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 Universal Negro Improvement Association. The High Commissioner, the Right Honorable D. G. Greese, was here on the 8th, 6th and 7th, and the Right Honorable Capt. E. A. Gaines, Minister of Legions, the 8th and 7th. The High Commissioner then explained the aim and object of this great association so beautifully that it has been manifested in more ways than one since he left. When Captain Gaines came with his marvelous description of the different races, he simply carried the public off their feet. On the evening of the fifth, the meeting was presided over by our lady president, Mrs. James T. Toson, and the welcome addresses were delivered by President C T White and Ex-Lady President Mrs. Ida M. Smith. On the sixth President White occupied the chair, and the President Mrs. Hara Field extended welcome addresses to our guest. At the close of the meeting Mr. A. C Cookrell moved a vote of thanks to the Commissioner for his noble counsel and enthuism he had aroused, not only in the division, but in the city. This motion was highly approved by all persons present. The president, Mr. White, occupied the chair and extended a hearty welcome address to the Minister of Legions. The Minister of Legions installed Mr John Powell as captain and Mr G. O. Field as lieutenant of Vancouver's Division of the Sons of Legions, and Mr. John Martin as mother of the juveniles. Mr Powell was leadership of Miss Gertrude Greig rendered lovely music for both occasions. All meetings were very well attended. In relation to our High Commissioner, we have no hesitation in saying, that his dignified manner and general knowledge of human nature with his grasp of things spiritual, as well as mandate, cannot fail to receive a willing car and a ready respond. His firmness in dealing with individuals and his dogged determination in the promulgation of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes him the right man in the right place. And from the comments that have been made to me about his visit and speeches, I am safe to conclude that we have better feelings to exist between this association and the church-going people than has ever been before at this point. And through this pleasant feeling we feel that our membership will grow in this great human suffrage—namely, Africa for the Africans. In speaking of Minister of Legions, I must say in the language of Solomon, "He that ruleth his speech is better than he that taketh a city." This man is able to rule his speech, and he also takes our city, for everybody who heard him regretted that his stay was so short. He said that he would remain in that that we are now going through, we regret that we were not able to render greater financial assistance to the cause they represent, and we are looking forward to the day when we will be able to answer all calls of the parent body. MIR IID M. SMITH. REV. DR. PAUL ADDRESSES MONTCLAIR (N. J.)

After the session had been so beautifully explained he performed the baptism services. It was quite a treat to the Montclair people to see Kensington.

ERASTUS THORPE, COMMISSIONER, ATTENDS UNVEILING OF TRAVESIA, PUERTO CORTES CHARTER --- In the afternoon at 8 o'clock of November 18 we were suddenly overtaken by an unusual visitor in the person of our Commissioner, Dr. D. Erasins Thorpe to witness the unveiling of Travesia Chapter No. 23 that took place on Sunday, November 10, at 2.10 p.m. On the day of the visitor's arrival at Puerto Cortes, Dr. Thorpe attended a meeting in the Local Liberty Hall at 7.10 p.m. The Chaplain, Mr. John Calum, opened the meeting with the singing of the ode. From Greenland's Icy Mountain," followed by a prayer and a passage of Scripture from the 118th Psalm. Mr. Irving Nombard, 2d vico-president, presided over the meeting, and read the preamble of the constitution. The general secretary then read some correspondence that were received from the parent body. He then met to the meeting as the speaker for the evening, who handed his credentials to the general secretary to read to the general membership, proving his authority as commissioner and representative of the Universal African Improvement Association and African Communities League in the Republic of Spanish Honduras. Dr. Thorpe gave a brilliant address in conjunction with the reports of the second Negro convention. He also advised that the ladies of this division should prepare something for exhibition in the next Negro convention. In the evening of the 19th Dr. Thorpe again attended another meeting where he held the people under his spell for over an hour. His subject on this occasion was "Redemption of Africa which depends chiefly on the linking of the Negro race in the world's greatest organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League, founded by our president, Dr. John A. Owen, under the motto of "One God, One Aim, One Destiny." He said it is only when we have organized ourselves and have built a government foundation in Africa that we shall be responded by the world. In this meeting he concluded in giving us the reports of the second Negro convention. On Sunday, 11st, at 2 p.m. a big gathering assembled at Travea to witness the unveiling of Chapter Charter No. 28 At 2:30 p.m. the chapain, Mr. Thao V. Ramos, in his ministerial gown, opened the meeting with the singing of the ode, "From Greenland's ice Mountains," then a prayer, appropriate for the carrying on of the meeting. The processional hymn, "Onward Christian Soldier," came next while the chapter was brought in, the procession being headed by the chapain, who again offered a prayer, "God of the Right Our Battle Fight" was then sung, followed by the reading of a passage of Scripture from Genesis XLIII Chapter. The chapain continued in giving an address on "Africa Awaken," where in parts he made mention to Joseph in remembering his brothers, as compared with the Hon. Marcus Garvey in remembering his brothers and sisters in the most remote parts of the world, to partake of the promise of "Africa Redeemed." Then the chapter was unveiled by Miss Nolberta Lambey and Master Pablo Bernardes, while the Universal Ethiopian Anthem was heartily rendered by the *hole* congregation, who stood to attention in respect and honor of said anthem, after which the chapel was filled with flowers. Mr Tiburo Royes, the president, gave an address in Spanish on the subject, "Estimados Congenadores." An anthology of thanksgiving was then rendered by Mr. Hipolito and others while the collection was being taken, followed by a duet by Mesra. R. W. Delay and William Rencau. Then came a solo by Mrs. Catherine Allen. Mr John A. Peson, president of the U.S. Cortes division, addressed us. He mentioned the chanishness of the members of the Traveza chapter as a very good means for progress. A collection was rendered by Mrs. Staina. Mr and Mrs. Stephenson and Mr George B. Merrillino, followed by an address by Commissioner Dr. D. E Thorpe, who said that the unveiling of the charter of Traveza chapter increases by one the number of associations and that another would be added in the near future when the charter of Tela chapter, San Juan, was unveiled. Mr. Hipolito addressed the meeting in the Caribbean language and Mr Martin Avila spoke in Spanish. In part he said: "Inexpicable placeir mit mi este momento memorable de la inauguración del Nitto del reconocimiento de la luna de la rana Negra de Travaux Corte. creo demas manifestar el cuerpo de esta asociación que hoy está Travidad concaba como uno del rampo de esta Association Universal de la naza Negra; por consiguiente dobesmos por nuestro honor y todo lo demas mantenero; realizando al debe de respetar nuestro prudente, de T. Trinculo R. Hayes, y respetar los jesos para el adelante de esa asociación." The chaplain then brought the memorable meeting to a close by the singing of "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended, the universal Ethiopian anthem and benediction. At 14:10 p. m. on the following day the Christian school has its new address, in which he commended the chapter for the manner in which its books were kept, advised us to buy shares in the Black Star Line, contributes to the African Redemption Fund, and thus to consummate the aspirations of the Negro race. The mission of our noble and worthy commissioner having been a success, he returned to Tela, his headquarters. General Secretary. Puerto Cortes Division No. 187. THE TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS, U. N. L. A. VISTED BY COMMISSIONER THE TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS, U. N. L. A. VISTED BY COMMISSIONER --- On Monday, January 16, about the hour of 12:30 p.m. Mr. Thrор, president of the division, and Commissioners for Honduras, received a cablegram from his excellency, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, stating of his arrest through traitors and enemies of the U. N. L. A. in New York. Immediately our president was alive to the occasion. He was to be seen on a white charge giving the command to his fellow officers to notify the people of what had taken place. And within an hour collectors had circumsultly authorized to collect funds. Notice was given for a general mass meeting of the 14th and 18th Inst. Groups of people could be seen as the news from mouth to mouth, but what made me feel that Tela is alive to the fact that Africa must be free and that implicit confidence is being reposed in our great and noble leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, was the great crowd of members and friends flocking to our local liberty hall long before the hour to commence meeting and that the hall was filled even to the varandahs and stair. The meeting was called to order by J. Kennedy, first vice-president, occupying the chair. A few second after Mr. D. E. Thoror, president of the division, entered, and after an address he read the cablegram from his excellency and a couple of press releases which gave clear information of the condition of the meeting of New York, once the spirit of Garvey was seen and felt, and it is good for a certain high priest that he was not within the precincts of Tela. Spanish Honduras, as manana "Dios Sabe." The president then read the names of the donors and the different amounts given which was a great surprise, seeing the conditions now prevailing in Tela. It was rather spectacular and pleasing to note the ready responses made by the members and friends present at the meeting when the cry went out for a substantial amount to swell the defense fund. The president then read certain resolutions which were drawn up to be sent to the parent body for publication in the Negro World and asked the house to accept and ratify so. o if it had met with their approval. It would have driven terror into the hearts of the enemies of the U. N. L. A. if they had seen the manner in which large crowd of people stood as if it was one man. The Ethiopian National Anthem was the lightly sung and the song was the loudest. It continued on Wednesday night. One thing is certain that the Negroes of Tola want other organization or leaders but the U. N. I. A. and Hon. Marcus Garvey Thanking you very much for space. I have the honor to be. You're for racial uplift and African Freedom. L A L E V Y RESOLUTIONS FROM PORT- LAND, ORE. Whereas, His Excellent Marcus Garvey, President-Governor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was a victim of a trumped-up charge by enemies of this, our institution, the greatest Negro organization that ever was known, and Whereas, these men are not only enemies to Marcus Garvey, but are enemies of every Negro man, woman and child, and Whereas, Marcus Garvey is making the greatest fight for Negro freedom and liberty throughout the world that ever was attempted by any other man in the known world, therefore, be it Received. That we, the officers and members of Division No. 23, of Portland, Ore. do plodge him our undying support in his struggle for justice and freedom for our race and we bind ourselves with the oath of Patrick Henry, "Give Us Liberty or Give Us Death," and be it further Resolved. That this division stand ready to contribute its pro rata towards a defense fund that may his cognition of us, and a copy of these resolutions to his Excellency Armen Dagov, and on to his Excellency World's Approved by unanimous vote. --- THE NEW YEAR TREE TREAT OF JUNIOR DIV. OF DERINDA U. N. I. A. Brother Freeman Smith, first vice president of the Bermuda Division of the U. N. I. A. gave an instructive address entitled "The Foundation Is On Good Ground, and All That Needs for the Building are the Builders" (much applause). Brother Albert Daniels said that from what he saw of the children they deserve credit, and he hoped that the parents of the children will ever try to encourage the movement. In his opinion this is a movement which can be done, as can he did, and believes any movement of this kind could be by the will of man only (much applause). Brother Astward, of the Hamilton Chapter, delivered an address complimenting the organizer and the children for the beautiful scenery of the tree, and declared that he had never seen before a Cedar tree bearing jelly, coconut and oweot potatoes; neither had he ever seen—match me-if you can—a tree bearing apples, oranges and shoulders of ham. The children who gave thought to an assortment of this kind deserve much praise and credit, and he hoped that they will be encouraged to show the world what talent we have in little Bermuda (much applause). "Africa, the Home of Our Father" (applause and repeat). The topic of the evening, Miss Claudine Morris and Miss Dorothy Soon, who represented the live Santa Claus, distributed sweets and candies to the children and parents, and wished all a happy and prosperous New Year. Much fun was given at this juncture. The trained Jumlure of the Physical Culture Club gave an exhibition of the body developing drill which gained them from all present much credit.

Everyone seemed busy buying a certain paper and interested in what it contained. Half an hour before the meeting was opened the house was packed to its utmost capacity. Everybody stopped reading papers and listened to the musical program rendered by the twelfe-piece orchestra of the division, headed by Mr. Knox. The music was charming to the ear and was conducted in an up-to-date manner. The meeting was opened by 'Irs. Maggie Scott, lady president. While the organist played "Upward Christian Soldiers" the procession of choristers of seventeen members, motor corps of twenty-two members. Black Cross Nurses of forty and the president, Mr. William Ware, and his encounters in the rear, wended its way to the platform. "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" was then sung. After prayer by the chaplain the president, in his introductory remarks, warned knocks of the U. N. L. A. and asked them where they will be when the program is put over. The first speaker was Mr. Scipio Kanocho Orunga, an African. He spoke about a commune at it exists in Africa. His speech was very interesting. A telegram and long letter from His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey were then read by Mr. R. Gilbert Simpson, who also spoke briefly. He talked on Mr. Garvey's message and asked the people of Greenland the question. He explained the advantages of the literary club that he organized and of which he is president. This club gives promise of accomplishing much in the future. Bishop I. E. Gulhn was then introduced and favored the audience with a new brand of Garvey song. Mr. Hancock, the last speaker of the afternoon, took as his subject, "fecal of Unity." He made a strong plea for the Negroes to stick together, for in unity there is strength. He made mention of the way in which ducks fly, all following a leader. He emphasized the fact that Negroes have now to yield to leadership. Prayer by the chaplain brought a glorious meeting to a close. LAWRENCE GILLESPIE First Sergeant, U. A. L. Colinnallin.

Brown, the vice-president, who acted as master of ceremonies, spoke on the subject, "Faith in Men in Faith in God." Mr. Brown kept the audience spellbound for a while, Mr. J. Gibbs made a brilliant address. Many beautiful selections were rendered by the choir. Music was furnished by Professor Stupin. A solo was sung by Miss Alice Terrill. Mr. H. Taylor also made a brilliant address her subject being, "Think the Truth, Speak the Truth, Act the Truth." Rev. J. A. Davie, the president, spoke in behalf of the movement.

MOVEMENT AND ITS GIGANTIC PROGRAM Hope to Crush the Aspirations of the Negro Imbued with the Spirit of Economic Independence and Self-Determination—It Is to the Interest of All Negroes, in All Walks of Life, to Study a Propaganda Which Is Influencing the Thoughts of Billions Throughout the World—False Leaders Establish Censorship Ely J. JACKSON TILFORD OF Chicago, IL. The writer had occasion to stop in at a meeting of the Sunday Evening Club held in this city on last Sunday night. The club was comfortably filled with that element of people belonging to our race, and yet do not feel that they are a part of us. The attendance which goes to make up the auditors of these weekly meetings are those among us termed the well-do-to, self-satisfied, three individuals, a professional and cultured group of Negroes, whose heads are full of white psychology, difficult in racial consciousness, and with characters desirie of those qualities so pronounced in the Negro with the new psychology clear vision and lofty aspiration. The musical program rendered was very pleasing and well received. The address of the evening is usually delivered by some white man, judge, lawyer or politician, but on this particular evening the writing was very pleased so see the custom set and I was to listen to one of my own racial group in the role of speaker of the evening. After a few brief times: kax the chairman of the meeting introduced the speaker, who was Hafame B. E. Wells Barnett, a very able and splendid woman, president of the Woman's forum, a leader in the Woman's Federation of Clubs, nationally known champion of her people, and one who her wager the fight for racial uplift was as she understood it for more than thirty years. The madame took her place as mediator of the evening, finished up her introduction brief, and launched into the body of her speech, which was along the lines of self-determination for the North. The speaker made a wonderful im- pression (and reminded us of our own First Lady of the Nile, Madame Davis) as she drew a mental picture of the wounded pooches of the world, and told her, audience of the struggle of Cepressed China, India, Egypt and Ireland, and of the success that would surely come and was not far distant to these exploded races. After painting this picture so beautifully of certain success for the down- trodden races of Europe, Asia and Africa, the speaker then put the question point blank to her audience, saying, Negro doing for self-de- desamination. And further glitter, we have our noble churches, our Christian den- sations, our fraternal societies, insurance companies, and civic organi- tations, but we have no national mov- ment designed to wield the Negro people into nationalism and accommodation for him that racial independence, freedom and well-being that other races enjoy, hate them and anywhere. At this signature in the madam's discourse, as she finished the above remark relative to the Negro having no national movement, she blurred out in an understatement, "Except the Garvey movement that promises everything." What I have chosen to call "the false leaders' endorsement, shown itself to the observer, in the form of a policy of silence, and a sort of gentlemen's argument between a certain class of Negro breathers. Negro politicians, Negro politicalicals, practical and professional leaders, to lose the power, of speech, should, their vocal chords shake, ready to register the name of Marcel Glowow or the D. M. I. A. to their audience. A need of passion and allen conflict, central of such prairie sageful of their influence, found in their jobs and state of their head and butter, indifferent and unaware to the well-banging of their people and laboring under the urban condition that it is far better Voted members. This is what the Nego is doing for self-determination. Now can it be that leaders are unaware of this great, colossal movement? Can it be that they do not know of its hundreds of divisions and titanic membership throughout this country, Central America, South America, the islands and Africa? Can it be that they do not know that the U. N. I. is the biggest, richest and most highly racial organization in the world. Can it be that they are exceedingly convenient on the struggles of the people of foreign countries, and do not know what is going on in the hearts and minds of the people in their own land and of which they are a part? Nay, nay, no so! They know it is merely a case of carrying out the policy of false leaders' censorship. They are victims of the system, and simply misguided. In this criticism I offer no special attack against the Madam, because she is a woman and an amiable one, and one for whom the writer has the highest regard, but should I keep back my opinions in defense of Negro Liberty and the U. N. I. A. cause at a time like t. In this era of do or die among the races and nations of the world, whether that opinion be directed against man, woman, races, nations, kings or empires, I would consider myself a traitor to the cause, a traitor to the trust I know my mother has in me, though she sleeps peacefully in the great beyond looking on; a traitor to the assemblages in Liberty Hall throughout the world; a traitor to the High Executive Council of U. N. I. A. Parliament; a traitor to the unborn babies of Mother Nature; a traitor to our great leader; a traitor to my people; a traitor to the Red, Black and Green, and a traitor to the Fatharland. The censorship on true information relative to the U. N. I. A. program sponsored and upheld by false leaders must be obliterated. If Negro preachers with their pliots dignity and gifted tongue, or Negro politicians with their vest-pocket votes, or Negro newspapers with their dollar policy, or hand-picked leaders with their Uncle Tom psychology could have solidified the race and made us a governmental power, it would have been accomplished years ago. What the race needs now is leaders and statesmen of the Garvey type and his co-workers and more leaders and statesmen of the U. N. I. A. type—honest, loyal and sincere man and woman, who wish to serve and do the people, and not those who are unwilling to the people to do something for them. Negro rebels take warning! Instead of trying to fight one of the greatest leaders the world has ever hounded, and one of the greatest constructive forces ever devised for any people's welfare, you had better come and offer your assistance in helping to carry out a program that will protect your freedom among the family of nations.

RALPH CASIMIR Brosnan Division No. 88, N. U. L. and A. C. K. Comments Readers of The Negro World will remember having read an article written by one McKenzie in the Overseas Magazine about the Hon. Marcos Garvey, in which he stated that the Negro titles "high-sounding titles". The said article was reproduced in a copy of The Negro World sometimes in the middle of last month. It will be noticed that in the first letter it: the Administrator the letters "G. M. G" (abbreviation for companion of St. Michael and St. George) after his name were omitted. His honor did not fall to observe that his "high-sounding titles" was omitted. We have in our midst a white man known as the "小剑 Carr of Dommithe", who "gets in a rage whenever one addresses anything in his name omitting the said "G. M. G". What does this mean but the white man's love for "high-sounding titles" why when the white man got worried when Negroes have high titles? This letter was sent to the editor of the Dominion Guardian that he should publish some of his paper, so that the readers of his paper should not be misled in the U. N. T. A. The editor called to do so, hence we have to come to the conclusion that 'he is asly prepared to protell the mind of people against the U. N. T. A.' and Marcos Darvey. We are sure that he has invested the same letter.

HENRY HODGE, COMMISSIONER OF NEW JERSEY, SPEAKS IN CAMDEN, N. J. High Commissionar Hodge arrived in Camden on Monday, January 15 to speak at a series of mass meetings, which, by the activity of the members, were a success. The High Commissioner gave much advice necessary to the success of the division, as many preachers were of the opinion that the U. N. L. A. was opposed to religion, while others said it opposed education. The Hon. Mr. Hodge, however, did not leave a stone unturned in defining the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. which resulted in creating a better spirit and making many friends. On Sunday, January 22, the meeting came to a close with a special program, in follows, President J. T. Bowman, acting as master of ceremonies. "Opening ode, 'From Greenland's Icy Mountains.'" Solo, "An Evening Dream," by Mr. G. Newman. Address by Vice-President William Cromatie. Solo, "I Will Dwell in the House of the Lord," Miss Cocola Jones. Offering. Music—Mr G. Newman, piano, Mr John Anderson, cornet, Mr Willis Godfrey, violin. At the finish of the program the house rose in honor of the High Commissioner, who then spoke on "How May Permanent Peace Be Achieved?" I part he said. "The world today is crying for peace. If we remember that at the Peace Conference President Wilson said that the rights of the weaker nations should be respected. Every country except Africa was represented. Then came Garvey, calling to God and man. We must have freedom for our motherland." We want peace—yea, peace as a free people under our own flag in our own land. But how can we be content while we are oppressed in a strange land and our motherland plundered and in total slavery? "Africa must be free under God, Garvey and the U. N. L. A., which will link the finances, desires and physical power of 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, who say. Yes, Africa must be free." "When these things are accomplished I can see the world blinding toward a permanent peace." The audience was held spellbound as the speaker emphasized positive facts. The High Commissioner spoke rapidly, as he was due to speak in Jersey City the same evening. The meeting was brought to a close by asking 'Blessed Be the Tie That Binda. J T BOWMAN, President. GARSOLTA NEWSNAN. Acting Reporter HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SWEEPS CLEVELAND There is a great awakening in the city of Cleveland due to the presence of His Excellency, the Hon. Rudolph Smith who, since his arrival, has been working unremittingly. A few months ago it seemed as if there would be a sudden death of the organization, which state was caused by the impression given by those in authority. The N U A I, or as being then called, the "Black Star Line Movement," was one of the most odious conventions that could ever be made, but thank God, after a radical change about three weeks ago and after the Hon. Rudolph Smith started his series of meetings at different parts of the city, the most spoken of movement, or better still, the topic of the day is the "Universal Negro Improvement Association" and "Literie for the Africans." On Sunday, January 15 the mass meetings of the day were held at the Prospect Theatre, and at those gatherings the member, friends and well-wishers of the organization were ably addressed by the Hon. Rudolph Smith, and the new president, the Hon. Folix C. Worth. All the auxiliaries of the division were in attendance, and among them video that deserve special commendation are the band, under the supervision of Professor Harper, and the choir, under that of the new officers, Mrs. John Scott, president, and Mrs. Hagel Smith, musical instructor. There was also present the Forest City Lodge Ladies' band, among the members was our newly elected Lady President, Mrs. Christiana Little.

DON RAMON DEL VALLE INCLAN, SPANISH POET, NOVELIST AND DRAMATIST An Interview by Nestor Gene Dissatisfaction with contemporary literature and not love for writing launched him upon his career as a writer, myne Don Ramon del Valle Inclan, one of Spain's most brilliant writers, the rival of Don Bonito Perez Galdoe for Spanish literary supremacy, who, during the past week, arrived in New York on route to Spain Don Ranon had just completed a triumphal trip to Havana, in Mexico City, where he attended the Centenni Celebratio. In both places he was _collined by Spanish-American admirers who had been charmed by his pose and poetry. Valla Inclan was born fifty-four years ago in Galloria, Spain, a town that has produced such famous Spanish writers as Countes de Pardo Bazan, Curnea Enriques and Rosalia Bazan, well known to English readers theugh the translation of / ice Stone Blackwell and Thomas Walsh; his first work being his "Memoirs." This was followed by "Jardin Humble," a collection of stories, after the manner of the French symbolists, which revolutionised Spanish literature, and brought immediate recognition as the leader of a new school. His contributions to the theatre have won him further fame. Vallo Inclan looks like a modern St. Paul, with his dark, sensitive eyes and his long patriarchal beard. He is tall and spare and of a very dignified bearing. In conversation he is magnetic. His voice is clear and vibrant; and he seems to have an inexhaustible fund of ideas. He is not as well known in this country as he should be. Some of his works have been translated, but were not as well advertised as they might have been. Perhaps, too, it is impossible to do his writings justice in a translation, for in addition to a peculiar charm of style, his chief merit lies in the purity of his diction and a musicality that only a genius could imitate in English. Don Ramon is an idealist. He does not seek the applause of the public, his aim is to come as close to perfection as uniting effort will bring him. He is a painstaking craftman, an artist who works with infinite care, and an inherent sense of the dignity and nobility of his art. "I have never had any special love for literary work," he declares. "I do not like to write. In fact, it bores me to have to set my thoughts down on paper. I do it only through necessity. Composition with me is an irksome task." "Seventeen years ago I began to write for the public. And I think I may truthfully say it was dissatisfaction that started me. I read a great deal, and each book or article I finished strengthened in me the conviction that most of what was written in those days was far from good. My literary sense, which even at that time was well developed, told me that many of the writers then in high standing were undeserving of the reputation they enjoyed. Most of them turned out the filmmist sort of work. "I felt sure I could do better, so I launched forth into a career of letters, determined to show my superiority. "At the time I had been sick abed for some months, and in order to make the long dreary hours pass more quickly I began to write a few memoirs. I showed my efforts to the poets Machado and Villacespa, who were intimate friends of mine. They were on thuslastic over my work and insisted I was willing to pillow its Villacespa was kind enough to allow me the maiden effort with D'Annunzio's *The Vergine delle Rocce*. There you have in a nutshell the beginning of my literary success. "My endeavor has been to bring new emotion, new life into Spanish literature. I have tried to raise my readers out of the sordid routine of every day life to see things as they really are. So I have used themes from all periods from the Middle Ages, with its forbidding fortress castle, its queer villages and dusty roads people with hooded monks, armies of adventurers and processes of pilgrims, to the Renaissance, with its revived paganism and its exaggerated cult of man and nature. I have tried to picture a dreamland where magnificent kings ride through enchanted forests and fairy godmothers take poor little girls under their protection and make them happy, bridges of princess charming. I have striven to create a beautiful land where my readers might sometimes see their dreams coming true under the magic spell of art, and my efforts have been crowned with more than ordinary success. In Spain, as in England or Germany or France, where the fantastic tales of Barrie, Andersen and Masterlinck are read with avidity, the appeal to the wonderful is still an intransitable force. What in your opinion is the "What, in your opinion, is the future of the novel?" I inquired as he paused. "To my mind," he replied, "the novel is falling into discredit. People are tiring of this form of literature. Personally, I admire only two modern novelists—Tolstoi and Dostoyevski. Whenever I read them I think of Alphonse THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1922 Daudet, with his gentle irony, his vivid imagination, his laughter and tears; of the sensitive, bitter-sweet pages of Sapho, worthy to be engraved on marble; of "The Nabob" of Francisco Jansoulet, of the shoulders of a Greek athlete and the laugh of a child, who was struck down and died in 'he rear of a box at the theatre; of Jenkings and his pearls, lied with arsenic by the Duke of Mora, dying like a Petronic; of Mont' Pavon, rouge, nincompoop steeped in perfumes, who cuts his throat in the bath. Tolstoi and Dostoyowski remind me of all these, and more." "Has the great war had any noticeable effect on Spanish literature?" he continued, repeating my question. "None whatsoever. Domestic themes are still popular in Spanish literature. In fact, I do not think the war has left its mark on the literature of any country. As matter of fact, although thousands of books have been written on the war, not one of them can be really said to embody the war. Why, the generals themselves know only their own sectors. I am reminded of an incident that took place in March, 1916. I was at the headquarters of General Antolina, who commanded the first French army on the Belgian border, where General Haig also was located. It was at the crucial period of the German offensive. Yet General Antolina, a large, powerful old man with cold blue eyes, was completely ignorant of what was happening on the eastern sector of the French line. He called me aside and asked me excitedly "What is the latest news from Verdun? How is the situation there?" I then told him that Doumont and Vaux had fallen, but Verdun still held out." Conversation turned to the theatre. I had expressed my admiration for Don Ramon's delightful play, "El Cuento de Abril" (A Tale of April) and "Aguilla de Blason" (The Eagle of the Coat-of-Arms), which had magnificent success on the Spanish stage, and he sketched for me what he thought was wrong with the theatre today. "If Shakespeare were living today," he said, "I think he would not be a playwright, he would be a novelist. He wouldn't be able to sell his work. Can you imagine a theatrical producer telling the author of "Hamlet" that he must be careful not to shock the public? Today the dramatist of ability and honesty has to content with many difficulties, chief among which is the bad taste of the public. I say bad taste advisedly, rather than lack of culture. A public that lacks culture can be educated to higher standards. That is the mission of the playwright. But a public whose taste is corrupted by melodrama is an entirely different proposition. The happy ending that the public seems to demand is surely in the worst taste—it is so untrue. The playwright, try as he will, can't change such taste. "Another problem for the playwright is the fact that the theatre is in the hands of men who know very little about drama, but who contentiously announce what the public wants. Of course there are exceptions. I am speaking only of a general condition. I have just brought out 'Los Cuernos del Teniente Friolera' (The Indefilty of Lieutenant Friolera's Wife), in which I have, I think, inaugurated a new departure in dramatic composition. I call it 'los espaperentes', the scarce crowds, and I strive to express tragic values in burlesque action, in other words, I merge tragedy into the burlesque Los Cuernos, for instance, in which I have brought together effects of the Italian and other Latin theatres. I have treated not with the pompous tragedy of Calderon, but rather with the comedy of Moliere. The story briefly is this: Friolera's wife carries on an amour with a barber When her infidelity is discovered, Friolera's brother-officers force him to fight a duel with the barber. In the action I have mingled real with burlesque characters. A blindman I have made to sing the burlesque fame of Friolera, who has decapitated more than a thousand Moors, and impaled upon his sword a hundred infilids and received as his only reward a scarf pin from the hands of the fat Infante Isabel." With conditions in Spain Don Ramon expressed himself as quite content. "I was in Spain when the news came of the disaster at Melilla. It created no extraordinary excitement. The players of trelliso (a Spanish game of cards) went on doing "manillas" and "codilas." The Toreadors continued to kill peacefully and bravely. Perhaps the anti-militarists were gind; I do not know." I called Senior Inclan's attention to a recent series of articles on Spain I showed him one that practically predicts a revolution "There is no talk of revolution in Spain," he assured me. "I feel quite BUY A LOT In Beautiful IDLEWILD, MICHIGAN, the only place for the race. All nations try to prepare a team for their people. Then can employ one another, and be our own bosses.

THE UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY After undergoing extensive repair has been reopened. We are now in a much better position to serve you. Therefore we call upon our former customers and well-wishers to leave orders, to bail for your wet wash or finished Laundry at 62 West 142d Street or at the booth in Liberty Hall, and we will assure you PROMPT SERVICE IN RETURN So do not forget to let us do your washing because all our work is done by experienced hands confident there will not be a change from the monarchical regime to a republican form of government. If a change should come it would be terrible and violent. From a constitutional monarchy, with age-long traditions and values, the country would be thrown into Bolivism, and it would be even more terrible than in Russia. On the banks of the Volga, the people are sentimental; but on the banks of the Manzanares the people are rough, violent, bloodthirsty. The Spanish people are accustomed to revolutions and do not begin them with hymns and learned proclamations. Blood is a decorative element with us. From 1839 to the gorgious year of 1863 from Diego to Prim, Spain was a severed artery. Blood attracts our race. In our painting the blinding, brutal red predominate. Our music, had it color, would be red. In our flag is red that fires and exaltes the Spaniard." Don Ramon del Valle Incla has only one arm. He smiled as I remarked the fact, and told me how he came to lose it. "Manuel Bueno, the noted critic, was a very good friend of mine, and one day in a friendly struggle he seized me by the wrist and twisted it. It hurt terribly, but I thought nothing of it. In spite of a few simple remedies the pain continued, and after some days my hand began to hand us. I visited a physician and he told me my hand was inflicted. He treated it, but the pain did not leave me. Then one night I read in an evening paper that the famous bull-fighter, Angel Pastor, had died of blood poisoning. Frightened by the thought of the same fate befalling me, I called in the doctor and demanded that he cut off my hand. He laughed at me, and said it was not necessary. But I insisted, and after some consultation he performed the operation. The following day my arm was worse and to check the infection it was necessary to amputate the whole arm. I had a perfect dread of anaesthetics and insisted upon undergoing the operation without ether. I wanted to see the operation, so they shoved the left side of my beard, and in that manner, with my head turned, I saw the whole performance. "No I do not miss the arm at all. With my right arm I do everything. Without help I dress and undress, tie my cravat, pare fruit, out my food. I even make little pieces of furniture out of paper. I can do with my right arm everything you can do with both of youa." Apropos of his missing arm, Valle Inclan related a humorous incident that happened to him at Hartmanwell-ikoff. "General Gouradu has only one arm, and has a long beard like myself. One day I was walking with some officers and a news correspondent in the trenchies, and I wore a French military cape. The artillery was silent and we walked along leisurely. A soldier sitting in a corner of a dugout writing, saw me and thought I was the General. He stood at attention and said, 'Bon Jour, mon General.' I shook his hand affectionately, returning his greeting with 'Bon Jour, mon enfant.' The General laughed heartily when told of the incident, and remarked, with great satisfaction, that he was pleased to know he had the figure of a Spanish Conquistador." Don Ramon is a sincere admirer of Marshal Foch. "He is the greatest military genius in the work today. He shows his genius even, in 1214, when he checked the German offensive at Tyres. He surely deserved it the honors that are showered upon him wherever he goes." Don Ramon was deeply impressed by New York and America in general. Its vastness, its bustle and bustle, its effulence evoked his admiration. His short stay in this city he devoted to sight-seeing and the gathering of information which he will no doubt embody in some future work. JOHNSON ON "AMERICAN DEMOCRACY" On Sunday, February 12. 1922, at 11 a.m., James Weldon Johnson, former United States consul to Nicaragua, will lecture on "America and the Weaker People." before the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The public is invited. 42 West 142nd Street Jan. 21, 1922. The above division has been sleeping for a long time, in fact, it has made little or no progress since it was organized in May of last year. Offerees as well as members were getting careless, and consequently interest was waning. In July of last year it was thought necessary, in the interest of the division, to have a reelection, which was done, but still things seemed to have changed but little. Brother B. A. Bennett, noticing the very slow progress that the division was making, wrote, suggesting a reorganization. Special duties were sent out to members asking them to be present on the night of Wednesday, the 11th inst., to consider the important question. We were specially fortunate in having with us on that night the Hon. E. Morales high commissioner to Cuba, who did everything in his power to set on straight lines. It was the unanimous opinion of the members that a reorganization was highly necessary, being the only means of solving the question of lack of interest so noticeable in the division. It was then decided that Sunday, January 15, be the day on which the reorganization would take place. Members and friends turned out full of enthusiasm. Before entering upon the actual duty of re-election the High Commissioner spent a time in explaining to the members the things to be taken into consideration in electing officers. At this stage the duty of election was entered into and five officers were elected. From the fact that there was not a very representative gathering the election of the remaining officers was put off until Tuesday, the 17th inst., when the High Commissioner again laid stress upon the important things to be considered in electing officers. The result was a small, many having left on account of lack of work, it was decided to elect just so many officers as would be able to carry on the work conveniently. With this idea in mind it was decided to elect only three more officers, including the chairman of the Advisory Board. The High Commissioner opened the election and without much difficulty the necessary officers were selected. Everybody seemed well pleased with the work of both evenings. The officers were all sworn in in the presence of the audience, all promising faithfully to do all for the advancement of the cause. They were all installed by the High Commissioner who gave, to the best of his knowledge, an account of their individual character and ability. He also assured the members that they have made the best possible division, that he is careful that the division will soon be doing good work. Each member gave a short address, in which he or she promised faithfully to be loyal to the cause and to spare no pains in helping the good work to succeed. Following are the names of the officers: Richard A. Bannett, president; Charles M. Edwards, first vice-president; Mrs. E. C Prince, lady president; Mrs. Lucille Phillips, first lady vice-president; Theodore N. Campbell, executive secretary; Simeon O. Dalton, general secretary; William G. Nelson, treasurer, and Edwin L. Osborne, chairman of the Advisory Board. It is with the greatest delight that the members of this division make mention of the uniting efforts of the High Commissioner to Cuba. Hon. Morales is certainly a hard-working man, who has the interest of the Negro race in his heart. He certainly is doing all in his power for the advancement and liberation of the race. May the good Master spare his life and strengthen him to carry on the work till a free and redeemed Africa is obtained. With success in view Cayo Mambi NEW YORK CITY begs to say to the other civilians all over the world that she is embarked from sleep, and under the guillage of the present officers will give a good account of herself. Our charter has arrived and we are making preparation for its unveiling. "TUGGERS" MUCH INFERIORI—A SERIO... COMIC INVECTIVE By Militan Pope Fuller, Vancouver, R.C. The first word in the above caption is indeed an appropriate cognomen, one of stigma and tragic significance, so wonderfully benefiting this aggregation of pseudo-humans connected with and responsible for the recent arrest of that outstanding wonder of the twentieth century, the one dynamic force of modern times, the Hon. Marus Carvey, Provisional President of Africa, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, who is charged with various abuse of the United States postal service. This "using-the-mails-to-defend" gang of mental buzzards are very critically ill having gummized an overdose of Garveyism which the poor blind birds mistook for a palatable mess in process of putrefaction. It is not difficult to understand how they arrived at such an erroneous conclusion, when one considers the morbid taste and peculiar desires of this particular genus. Oh, yes, they are real niggers, and this fact is attended by the corollary that they are go very inferior to—well, just anything one might imagine the unhoused the entire category of the very lowest in nature and all creation! It is regrettable, however, that so much valuable time and money must be spent in the course of the hard sledy job of tugging the boat up to the right to dub them the Judas Club, as their mercenary make-up (they have no character) will allow them to do just anything at all for a dime or so.

The distinguished representative of the deocrates of Arvomian, who had the office of the darker justice (17), he could destroy the greatest of endeavors by shooting its prime exporter, Marces the Indomitable, which he did but, after some deliberation, the culprit's decision was that the rule of marry was no glorious for Carver and that he coveted the distinction for himself. No one thought it worth while to kill the damned wretch, so straightway bullied he a huge cross and crucified him thereon with his own hand, as even every one hath seen.

La Conferencia Del Desarme Se Disuelve (da La Prensa) La conferencia del desarme de Washington llega a su fin. El tratado de limitation naval, el acuerdo sobre el pacífico, la solución de la cuestión de China y varios convenios de segunda importancia han sido ya firmados por los pempienciarios. Los equipajes de las misiones especiales están listos para el viaje de retorno. Todo es satisfacimiento entre los dipláticos en la capital federal, terminadas las importantes reuniones de la gran asamblea. Se ha convenido por Inglaterra, los Estados Unidos y el Japon en la proporción de 5-5-3. Los problemas del Pacific están zanjados con la garantía conjunta de las tres naciones y de Francia. Y las devoluciones parciales y condicionales de territorios arrebatados a China, quedan ya sometidas a un plan que aceptan todos. El empleo de los submarinos en la proxima guerra, el calibre de los grandes cajones, el uso de gases letales, ha recibido también su solución. Y varias otras pequeñas materias quedan sobre la mesa, al cuidado de coníesiones de peritos. Sin duda, el mundo nada ha perdido en esta conferencia y, en cambio, se ha hecho una nueva experiencia de negociaciones directas en relative publicidad—obres como de estado que antes se trajan en las sombras peligrosa de las cancillerias.
