Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
It becomes my duty as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the movement that seeks the liberation of the entire Negro race industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically—to bring to your attention certain things bearing upon the difficulties, embarrassments and ultimate rise of great movements, such as will be encountered by our own organization in our efforts to reach the pinnacle of success.
An Upward Struggle
Every race and nation that has struggled upward has had to do so amidst the setbacks and discouragements and villainy of some of their own people. Naturally, therefore, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not escape a like experience. Since the advent of our movement into the activities of the world, great have been the attractions and inducements to many who have been mere self-seekers and opportunists in finding a way into the circle of our mighty cause
Conscienceless Graffiti
Every successful movement carries with it at some time or other a certain number of self-seeking parasites to whom nothing appeals but that which they can gain for themselves. The attachment of these persons are not confined only to movements, but to governments also. We have had grafters in governments, in corporations and in organizations who have so often placed such governments, corporations and organizations in difficulties. In this case the Universal Negro Improvemera Association, and especially its auxiliary corporation, the Black Star Line, have suffered through the skillful maneuvering of a class of men whose souls and consciences are positively dead, even though they live.
Perdition Exploration
The idea of money appeals so much to some men that in the acquisition of they will murder their mothers—anyone, even an entire race—although they are members of their race. The Negro race has even since emancipation been uttering from that pernicious exploitation that has caused it to become almost great in the great purpose of life. A great resurrection in the race came in 1870 at the Universal Negro Improvement Association, when a universal social took place among the four hundred millions. Men and women of the race everywhere longed on the new light, and in the sweeping success of the nightly movement an opportunity was presented to dozens of those who were called to leadership to misuse their power and to divert to their own personal wealth all that should have been done in the interest of the race. In the conflict between right and wrong they had to deal for the right in the cause of the Negro became open enquiry or those who stood for the wrong. This division has created a oppressive work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to build a group of honorable and disciplined men scattered in inefficient part. Their work of destruction is becoming more visible from day to day, and it good fortune that has belts to discover, see and know some of them thereby encouraging ourselves able to cope with the situation.
An Inter-State Campaign
there are a number of Negroes, well organized and entered between New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, who have entered into an agreement by which the would mutually yet in a separate and distinct war, carry out a campaign of opposition against the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliary, the Black Star Line, for the purpose of destroying the usefulness to this great cause of human liberty. The motives that actuate them are in some cases different. A certain set desire to see the downfall of the Universal Negro Improvement Association because of petty spite and jealousy and because they themselves desire to build up an organization of their own. Another set rights the movement because they are paid to do so by those who do not intend to assist the Negro to liberate himself and be a real man. Another group toster at opposition against the organization because of their disappointment in not being able on previous occasions to rob and exploit the movement in their own interest. Still another group tightens the organization because they do not desire to see any other leadership succeed among Negroes other than their own, but the most dangerous group of all is that group that has robbed the Black Star Line and desire to cover up their robbery, in that within recent months a thorough investigation has been started to find out what has been done in the matter of over $25,000 which is said to be deposited with the United States Shipping Board for the purchase of a ship, and the continuous deception of the and partie in promising the president of the Black Star Line, the Board of Director and stockholders that a ship is the name of the S. S. Orion, which should have been named the S. S. Phyllis Wheatley, should have been delivered the April of 1921 and is not yet delivered up to the time of writing, and for
A Bit of History
I let the United States of America on the 28th day of this business trip to the West Indies and Central America a special purpose way to carry out an arrangement that had been made whereby the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation, the auxiliary of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, would have acquired a ship and have her sail from New York in April or May of said year for Africa, carrying passengers, immigrants and materials. The directors of the Black Star Line arranged that a certain part of the money for the purchase of the ship should have been raised in America and the other portion in Central America and the West Indies. Plans were, therefore, laid for the raising of certain sums of money in America by certain representatives of the corporation, and that I, as President of the corporation, would raise a substantial part of it in Central America and the West Indies. Whilst I left, feeling assured that those left behind would have maintained a good intention towards the plans laid, it has been discovered that immediately after I left the country certain parties who assumed the active management of affairs of the
President of Black Star Line Graphically Describes Trip to West Indies and Central America, and Tells of Leaving Others in Charge at New York to Purchase Black Star Line Ships
OFFICERS LEFT IN CHARGE ATTEMPTED TO PREVENT MR. GARVEY'S RETURN FROM SPANISH AMERICA
Confronted with Plans for Second Annual Convention, President-General Took it for Granted That His Agents Had Deposited Money with U. S. Shipping Board and Therefore Went About Work of Convention
FRUSTRATED IN PLOT TO KEEP MARCUS GARVEY OUT OF AMERICA, TRAITORS, BACKED BY NEGRO LAWYER IN PHILADELPHIA, STARTED PERFIDIOUS PREPAGANDA AGAINST MOVEMENT, WROTE LYING LETTERS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND PERSUADED NEGRO PRESS TO RIDICULE AND WRECF MOVEMENT!
Black Star Line in the United States planned, in conjunction with others, that I should never return to America, and that during my absence from the country, plunderings of all kinds would have been indulged in, and if a collage came I would have been blamed for away in the West Indies, without even having an opportunity of finding out what was wrong, nor have a voice to express my point of view. Immediately during my absence from the country changes were made in the plans that were laid out for the acquirement of the Viking boat; new arrangements were made, contracts were signed and for four months, whilst all these changes had been going on—in each a word of information was sent to me, to acquaint me of what was being done
A Treacherous Plot
I must was made the more to me down in preventing an from returning to the United States of America. A great state of denialization went on, not only in the Black Star Line, but in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, during my absence and when by good fortune I was able to return around the 15th of July 1921, just fifteen days prior to our international convention. I was confronted with a state of disargumation which was most alarming. My appearance in the United States of America was a great surprise to many and some of those who were said to be my associate, and especially in the work on the Black Star Line. The S. S. "Phyllis Wheatley" that should have been secured since April, and which I had every reason to believe was either at anchor in New York, or had sailed for Africa, is in where to be found! The name that I sent from the West Indies and Central America as well as other fundraised in my name, and in the name of the Black Star Line in my absence, were supposed to be deposited with the United State Shipping Board by certain parties, and that it was expected that the boat would be awarded at any time, even though the directors of the Black Star Line, placing their rehance on one who represented the corporation in my absence, had promised them every day that the boat would be awarded tomorrow, which tomorrow extended over a period of three months, information of which was supplied me two or three after my arrival in New York.
Because of the urgency of the convention, I had to concentrate most of my time on regulating the program for our big event, and had to sit in convention for three days for the carrying through of our big program, during which time, however, I made every effort to find out in what had been done in its absence in the matter of the Black Star Ln. I felt the rest of the director was told that the boat would be in New York to arrive. Tomorrow came and went, and still it was tomorrow. I usually notice was served that under the boat or the money must be delivered immediately, and then communication, were brought to show where on the way, and everything would be well in another couple of day
The Part of the Negro Press
I took detente steps to locate either the men on the ship, and then to my surprise where $25,000 should have been only $12,500 was credited, and after the individuals found out to what extent my investigation had gone, then a most vile and wicked propaganda, started in several Negro newspapers and magazines, lambasting me for things I knew nothing about, for the purpose of covering up the responsible parties, and then anonymous communications started to reach the government from abjections, and complaints were also made, for the purpose of causing my immediate arrest, the collapse of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and then the covering up of all that had happened in the matter of the Black Star Line during my absence from the United States of America.
"Monarchy Is the Best Policy"
Selfish, wicked groups of Negroes, at different points, have contributed to this vile and wicked plan, some without even knowing consciously what they were doing, and thus this reveals the attempt made by dishonest and dishonorable people of our own race to interfere with the success of a movement that aims at the liberation of four hundred million Negroes. Every effort between heaven and earth has been made within the last two months to discredit me and put me out of the way so as to cover up the dirt of others. After certain individuals found out that their misdeeds were coming to light they have been using every means possible to
cause the authorities to suppress the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which would set as a cloak to their many also against the man, and especially against the Black Star Line. But these poor escapes individual crimes to think that dishonesty of any kind can be covered personally. Our filibuster act will lead you from one crime to the other until you simultaneously found out and placed before the bar of justice.
Pleasing to the Criminal-Wildlife
The cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be interrupted in any way, it is too great and mighty a cause, so that any effort to damage its power will be futile.
We who lead this mighty movement know that such things as related above are to be expected, and when they do happen they will not discourage us in the least, but will only place us in a better position to know even our own, and to deal with them as they do deserve.
Several Negro newspaper editors have most wickedly encouraged purpaganda against the Black Star Line, to the loss of the good will of the race, and to the satisfaction of the criminal-minded, who have planned just such a result. The plots to defeat the Black Star Line are many, and the plotter seems to think that they have succeeded in a way in embarrassing the conventions; at least one of the plotters, in Philadelphia, a Negro lawyer, has been making the sample of that city, trying to collect the stock certificates of stock holders, that he tried to make disgruntled and disatisfied for the purpose of bringing a handcraper suit against the Black Star Line, so as to carry out the intention of the organised enemies of which he is one, so that they may seize in the success of their scheme
Only Secondary to the Larger Plans
But the idiots do not seem to realize that the Black Star Line is but a small matter compared with the bigger object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; that the Black Star Line bears the same relation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association that the Shipping Board bears to the United States Government, and that even though $100,000,000 may be kept in the Shipping Board the government will still conduct the affairs of that corporation for the benefit of the nation. And so even through the traffic and disarray of a
work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on, and nothing like a million dollars, or even ten millions, can permanently interfere with its mighty program. All the loyal stockholders of the Back Star Line have nothing to fear because the Universal Negro Improvement Association will, if the enemies try to do anything to the corporation, make every effort to secure the interest of every loyal stockholder who believes in the cause of Africa for the Africans and an emancipated Negro race. The effort of this Philadelphia lawyer has opened the eyes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the danger of having the stock of the Black Star Line in the hands of people who may use it in the interest of the enemy. So if the Negro lawyer wants to do what he and his associate have plotted to do, they may be only helping the Universal Negro Improvement Association to commute the affairs of the Black Star Line in the future to the association alone and to those faithful stockholders who we shall always protect and who shall be benefited by the future success of this Negro steamship one.
A Mighty World Force
our people are to hustle minded that they cannot see beyond the immediate present, but all true Negro's of vision can foresee-nothing else but success for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliary corporations. Let me say to the Negro peoples of the world that this is the hour when we shall stick together the more to put over the mighty program which seems to be causing universal consternation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association stands at its strongest point. It is a recognized world force. We have spent millions of dollars to reach the position we now occupy, and it is only a question of a few more cars when untold benefits will be derived from the successful operation of this great movement. We have done the pinoeer work, we have cleared the w. for that brighter day that is to come, and, now that we have reached this point, with our beautiful plans, I hope that no real Negro in the world will feel that for one minute that anything of failure or disappointment can come, don't permanently wreck the good work of this organization.
Let 'em Fight!
Let our enemies fight; let the traitors within our own ranks fight as they
let them do whatsoever they desire to do, there is one thing we are assured
of that the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall stand the test of time.
A Word of Cheer
We are succeeding more and more every day. From every corner of the world comes a loyalty that bears no question. Everybody knows the plots that have been laid for the embarrassment of this our movement, but everybody is the more prepared to carry the cause to victory. So my message to you this week is "Be of good cheer. Nothing can happen to the Black Star Line that will permanently affect the object we have in view. We may be disappointed today in not getting dividends and immediate profits, but remember, men and women, we have an object in view; that we have built up a mighty movement that is now world wide, and that it is only a matter of sticking together, keeping our colors flying, and then everything will come to us in good time."
Let those who want to do evil do as they may. I am appealing to those who are loyal and true to the cause to stick solidly by, and surely victory will perch upon our banners.
With very best wishes I have the honor to be.
Your obedient servant.

MARCUS GARVEY LAUDS BILL INTRODUCED IN MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE BY SENATOR MACULLUM THAT UNITED STATES SECURE BY TREATY OR OTHERWISE SUFFICIENT TERRITORY IN AFRICA TO ESTABLISH NEGRO NATION
---
LIBERTY HALL NEW YORK
Sunday Evening Feb 12 1922
Despite the weather, night being one of the most difficult evenings thus far, the weather as of the very elements will make outdoor traveling more enjoyable and uninhibiting, a very memorable experience of people gathered here and interested in an oration by the Hon Marquis on The Hidden Spirit of America, that should be carefully considered and pondered over by every thinking Negro throughout this country and whether he be a member of this thy with the movement of the national Negro improvement Association or, as Asir William H. Harris the first speaker of the evening, remained neither heat nor cold rain nor snow not even persecution keep back on affects in the slightest the attendance of the people at this shrine of liberty the world's greatest Negro fun.
The address of the President general was pregnant with the views of a philosopher and statesman of broad vision who, possessing the extraordinary faculty of discerning the future needs of his race, has the courage of his convictions, and states them with a clarity of expression and forceful logic that is both irresistible and convincing. The topic chosen was based upon the announcement made in days ago as recorded in last week's issue of the Negro World of a project fathersed by Senator Maculium, of Mississippi as embodied in a resolution submitted by the Senator to the Legislature of that State, to memorialize the President of the United States and the National Congress "to secure by treaty purchase or other negotiations sufficient territory in Africa to make a suitable and final home for the American Negro, where, under the tutelage of the American Government, he can develop for himself a great republic that will in time become a sovereign State and take its place at the Council Board of the nations of the world" Senator Maculium's proposition is "to use such part of the Allied war debt as may be necessary to acquire such territorial possession to the end that the American nation shall become a nation of one blood, as it is in spirit, and to give the American Negro an opportunity for development of racial rights under the most advantageous circumstances."
This, the President-General said, is Senator Macmillan's idea of solving the Negro problem, and he (Mr. Garner) heartily accords with it, and will help all he can in furthering the project, since it is in complete harmony with the ideals and aspirations of the U. N. I. A.—in fact, "has been its program for the last four years and a half." The Negro should not declude himself, no remarked, by the belief that the future will mean happiness and contentment for him in this country, since it is the undoubted spirit and intention of the white man that this shall in truth be a white man's country. This will be evidenced more and more as the population here grows and competition becomes keener and keener, and when finally the white man, by reason of his increased numbers, feels he is absolutely independent of the black man for labor of any kind, then will come the time to effect economic pressure upon him whereby the black man will either be starved to death or driven from America to seek elsewhere a home for himself. The thoughtful leader realizes well, said the President-General, that industrial, economic and political competition among people of different races breeds prejudice and hatred and generally ends in massacres and in civil war to the detriment of the weaker race.
History proves this.
Anne Negro grows more numerous and more determined in demanding his rights, when the nation has become fully developed, the ira and indignation of the whites will become more and more aroused against him, because of the latter's determination to gain absolute political and economic equality. The great mistake was made thirty years ago, when the black man was allowed to gain political ascendancy in the South, when he became a member of its State Legislatures and Negroes were elected as Congressman and United States Senators; for the whites, when that revise, or "rego of terror," as they regarded it, was over, resolved never again to permit black men to make laws to govern white men. The mere fact that the colored man had been allowed to reach that political status drove them to a trenzy of prejudice and hatred, which has ever since been on the increase.
This feeling of prejudice and hatred is the result not so much of what the black man is as because of his actual condition; that he has thus far, as a race or a people, accomplished nothing material or great to the world's progress in civilization, but as soon as the Nation has established a nation of his own, has set up a government of his own and has acquired the status of a nation, so soon will be treated with respect the world over and his accreted representatives received and honored at the courts of all the world's great powers.
No people, any Garvey significantly pointed out, that formerly were accused had ever been known to rise from a state of slavery in a position of political power or political superiority to their former enemies. Only as in the case of the American slave trade, enslaved by France and taken to Rome in captivity and enslaved, were returned to their Alemons, their native land, and there set up a settlement, their own end by their influence, their thrift and their inheritance.
progressive characteristics finally), be incoming the dominant race of the world today). In like manner the Negro can never hope in this country to solve the problems that are be allurel to come to displace the prejudice existing against him or gain complete political equality here and the negotiation of other peoples and nations and be treated by them on a basis of equal justice. To do so he must establish a nation of his own in his homeland Africa, Buid Mr. Garvey), by way of striking illusion what a Southern Negro would not tolerate in a Negro in the United States of America, being to ascend into Africa. An the same Negro would object and stand behind his objection with his whole life at stake willing to risk the last drop of his blood before he would agree to let any Negro in this country dine with the President or become an Attorney general of the United States or hold any such great office that some Senator would give his heartiest support to the creator in Africa o a Negro nation where Negroes could exist senators and attorneys) generals of their own
All this said the speaker is an indication of the hidden spirit of America, for though the white people of this country have not openly avowed the spirit such in reality is their attitude and their thought in respect of the Negro and the Negro may be well realize this and prepare himself and his posterity for the uneasable condition that awaits him in the future—that of faring a condition of economic starvation or of adopting the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and carrying that program in a successful conclusion. If conditions were reserved, the Negro doubleless would do the same for that would be but human. If continued Mr. Garvey, "we can get this national idea into the mind of all white and black people alike, the better it will be for us as a people, for if the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not to become an accomplished fact, then the Negro race is doomed. So that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has scored a great victory in having a Sonator, especially from the South, to introduce into one of the State Legislatures such a resolution looking to the solution of the Negro problem.
Air William H Ferris introduced as the first speaker of the evening, delivered a eulogy upon George Washington. Abraham Lincoln and Froderick Douglas. All three men were born the same time, this by a strange coincidence. All achieved fame and greatness because of the big things they had done, which their contemporaries regarded as impossible, such as their genius, their sagacity, the wonderful fertility of their intellect and courage. The world is no place for weaklings, for only individuals, races or nations that are strong have ruled and will continue to rule in human affairs. That black men have shown themselves to possess inventive ability, and, as individuals, have wrought wonders in art, science, literature and commerce, has always inspired him, Professor Ferris said, with faith in the future of the Negro, and convinced him that what other races and peoples have done and achieved, he too, can accomplish
The remainder of Professor Ferris address, a masterpiece of erudition dealt with the shortcomings of such movements as the Tuskegee propaganda and the N. A. A. C. P. in so much that these movements and organizations have failed to point out to the Negro how he can plow his way to greatness through the prejudice and opposition of other race, whereas, the U N I A. a has infused into the Negro a new inspiration, a vision of the possibility of achieving greatness for himself as a nation and people, through the exercise of his own intellect and genius, that will enable him to remove all obstacles in his path, command the respect of others, and challenge the admiration of the world.
Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, the next speaker, was greeted with applause when she arose to speak, and at once captivated her hearers by the persuasive and gentle force of her inspiring oratory and masterly elocation. She referred, also, to Frederick Douglas, saying she had the pleasure of an acquaintance with him from her early childhood. Douglas, she pointed out, was not only a man of giant intellect and eloquent speech, but he possessed the quality of great manliness and courage, inasmuch that in numerous instances he withstood the threatenings of the mob. to carry his message to the people in behalf of the emancipation of his race. Nothing, said Lady Davis, discouraged him; "for he was born for a purpose, and with a purpose, the same as I believe our beloved Marus Garvey was born for purpose and with a purpose, and will not die until that purpose has been accomplished."
This reference to the two great men, representative leaders of the Negro race, the one of th past, the other of the present age, elicited the warmest applause. Lady Davis concluded with an appropriate postal quotation, and sat down amidst the huzzas of the audience, with whom, in Liberty Hall, she has always been a favorite and popular fool.
The musical program of the evening was unusually delightful and entertaining, equal in many respects to the symposium of music heard at such concert halls as the Hippodrome and Carnegie Hall, where the greatest singers and artists appear. Miss Williams, a new singer at Liberty Hall, stood, but community members sat in a circle, a silent,

A special offering was taken up to pay the taxes on the property of Liberty Hall which had through overnight lapsed about two years, and which it was necessary to pay without delay. The audience responded liberally to the appeal of the President-General.
The Hidden Spirit of America
Hen Marcus Gervais spoke as follows. My subject for tonight is The Hidden Spirit of America. Before I speak on the subject I will read to you a bit of news. It is important because it strikes at the vitals of the great question confronting this nation, in the matter of the Negro problem—the solution of it. Those of you who are readers of The Negro World will remember seeing in the paper this week that bit of news that comes from Mississippi which reads as follows.
"JACKSON Miss, Jan 31—Neman McCallum today introduced in the State Senate in session here a concurrent resolution 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 territory in Africa to make a suitable and final home for the American Negro, where, under the tutelage of the American Government, 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."
The subject. "The Hidden Spirit of America," is brought out forborely in this bit of news that recounts Senator McCallum's intention for proposing that this nation seek in some way or other to establish for the American Negro a sovereign State of his own—a nation of his own in Africa—because he desires that America shall become "a nation of one blood as it is in spirit." I trust you will readily grasp the meaning of that sentence of Senator McCallum's intended resolution
The Same Doctrine Prescheduled by the U. N. L. A.
It brings out without any camouflage the very thing that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been preaching for four and a half years—that America in spirit at the present time is a white man's country, and it is going to be so in fact, and as far as it will be in fact that is why Senator McCallum is trying in his way to solve the great problem by having the President and Congress decide that America shall establish for the Negroes of America a sovereign State somewhere in Africa. After all, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not so crazy in thinking about the possibility of an African nation for Negroes. We find that we have a crazy Senator who is trying to get the President and Congress and the whole nation crazy also. So that it would appear that the whole country is going crazy with this idea of an African nation for the Negroes of the world. U. N. I. A. in Sympathy with McCall.
laws idea of African Nation
The same reason why Senator McCallum desires a nation in Africa for the American Negroes is the same reason why other Negroes in other parts of the world who are outside of Africa desire a nation also in Africa so that we are not only going to have a nation for the American Negroes or a nation for the West Indian Negroes, but we are going to have a nation for all Negroes, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I say now without any feature, is very much in sync.
politics with Senator Mitch McConnell a resolution, because that has been our program for the last four and a half years. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assume that for the Negro to encourage himself in the belief that the future will mean peace and happiness for him in these parts of the world where he is hopelessly outnumbered by another race that is prepaired towards him is for him to encourage a safe hope. As we can see it as the two races continue to live side by side in this Western world and as competition becomes keener between the two races, industrially and politically that prejudice that is being demonstrated and acted against us now will increase and will increase to such an extent that we will suffer the more and we will die the quicker from the results of the prejudice that I have outlined to you.
Competition Between Races Breeds
Prejudice
The thoughtful Negro leader of to-day will naturally look down the texture not only of a day a week a month or a year, but the future of man... the idea of centuries as touching our condition. The thoughtful leader comes to no other conclusion than that in another 100 years America will be a changed country quite different to what it is that America attitudes towards a weaker race if that race happens to be here if that race works in competition with the stronger one that will always be here, that it will mean death for that weaker race.
The thoughtful leader results in that industrial economic and political competition among peoples of different races breed prejudice, hatred and end generally in massacres, in still wars, in the detriment of the weaker group. It has been so in all history. It is now and it will be so in the future. The stronger group of any race living in any country, let it be America, Europe or anywhere will not tolerate the keenness of competition industrially, or politically with a weaker race within the same bounds. As that stronger race multiplies in numbers, that stronger race will perforce adopt an attitude of hostility toward that weaker race that socks to compete industrially and politically.
America, as I have said will be a different country as far as the number of inhabitants is concerned in another 100 years. You are going to have probably three times as many white people in this country in another hundred years as you have now. It will mean that industrial rivalry and competition among them as a people will be the keener then and that they will perform have to protect their own interests against the interests of any other competitive group, and whether that group happens to be Negritos, Chinese or Japanese, they are going to farve very hard in that day when competition will force the other people to protect their interests industrially, economically and politically.
As we grow more numerous and more determined in demanding our rights in these times when the nation is not fully developed, we will politically arouse theire and indignation of our fellow citizens of the other race because of our determination to hold political offices that render us politically competitive with the other people who believe that America is theirs if not now in fact, in spirit
Belief That Race Problem Will Adjust
Itself a Pallacy
Some of us as leaders matter ourselves into believing that the problem of black and white will work itself out in America in another few years and that all the Negro has to do is to be humble and submissive and do what he is told to do, and everything will work out well in "the sweet by-and-by." But the keen student will observe this: that a terrible mistake was made between forty and fifty years ago, when black men were elected to legislative assemblies all over the country, especially in the Southern States, and even at the national capital representatives of this race once occupied seats in Congress. A terrible mistake was made then as far as other people were concerned. There was a state of disorganization, and in that state of disorganization certain things happened just by mere chance, and in the chance dozens of black men became Senators, State Senators and Congressmen, and opened up to the eyes of the nation the possibility of the black man governing the white man in these United States of America—the possibility of the black man-making laws to govern the white
in the United States of America.
The possibility drove them to make
almost mannequin in guidance, rep-
ting the spirit of the Constitution and
the dissolution of Lincoln, that the
territorial equal, and a determination
was arrived at that never again
would be possible for a slave to
govern a case of misery within
three hours.
Some of us now know that our country is better with the right in the United States of America. We are in a different kind of makers for the race of our slave masters of slavery, race laws. Now let me tell you that nothing of the kind has ever happened in all human history. You students go back in history as far as you possibly can and you cannot show me one instance where a slave race living in the same country within the same bounds as the race of masters that enslaved them that slave being in numbers less than the race of masters and that race has ever ruled and governed within the same territory the race of slave masters. It has never been in history and who never beheld the hidden. America is determined that it never will be caring not what happens to you get it with the force of nature, a force of evolution through progress has seen to the heights where they raised and dominated those who once enslaved them. But that race of almos has always and to buttaken themselves to other habitats probably their own nature and their apart from those who are enslaved themselves sooned a power of their own a strength of their own, and in the higher development of that strength of their power they like others have made conquests and the conquests so often have enabled them to conquer the who once enslaved them. In the history you can show me one instance where a race of slave men within that nation to govern their masters when their masters conquer them as identically as any of the United States of America.
A Vain Hope
So that it will be ensured that you will be the Attorney General of the United States—for us to encourage the idea that one of these days a skier will be Postmaster (genral of the United States or that a Negro will be President of the United States of America or that a Negro will be secretary of State of the United States of America, is only to encourage a young hope that will take you from here into eternity without being realised. If you have any ambition—and at all of us the 10 000 000 who make up the nation at this time should have some ambition and that ambition should not be less than that of any other man in the nation—if we have ambition, the best thing for us to do is to accept the principles o. the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—and that is. All Negroes the world over get together and build up for the race of nation of our own on the continent of Africa. (Great Applause) And this race of slaves that cannot get recognition and respect in the country where they were slaves, by using their own ability by using their power their genius, would develop for themselves in another country—in their own habitat—nation of their own and able to send back their own—from that native habitat—to that country where they were once enslaved representatives of their own race that will get as much respect in that country where they were enslaved as any other ambassador that ever entered the country from any other nation or from any other race (Applause). What a Southern Senator would not concede to the Negro in the United States he is willing to give to Negroes in Africa. That same Southern Senator who moved this resolution that the President of the United States and the National Congress secure by treaty or purchase, a home in Africa for the American Negro where he can develop a free and sovereign state—a nation that will take its place at the council board of the nations of the world—that Southern Senator who moved that resolution in the Senate of Mississippi is the same Southern Senator who would object and stand behind the objection with his whole life and with the last drop of his blood, for a Negro in the United States of America to dine with the President of the United States at the White House. He would die first than see a Negro in
the United States under present conditions be an Attorney General of the United States of America he would die first than stand and die without protesting, that a Negro was Vice President of the United States of America yet says that he wants to see the American Negro disgraced a nation of his own in Africa the world caused him to take his power of the council board of the nations of the world
Prejudice Not Against Color but Condition
The period of the who is to take of the United States of America is not so much because they have a color of it because they hate a addition of it. But if they are home in things why they have no should you review the positions you would do the same thing as they did to us. Why do I say that? There is no man in this habit tonight no Negro man or woman in this hall tonight because all of us are human—who would for a whole of time later and work himself in the really and thriftly to save everything that you possibly can to build up a home of your own and save a lot for four of your own to make yourself happy and that after you did all of that you have your children you have your own family to take care of and to look after with that which you today do it's worked for there is no one of you who would go out into the street and see a crimp and take that tramp and Egg him into your house and let him sleep in the same bed with us let him always see a drier room but him is a good one of us I'm just so I. Let me tell you how to run home house you are no one human being in this building who would do that. Yet do it is what we expect he white man to do. We expect the white man to do. You're in America to see the future of the little man in the life for his life to build up a home and then to do it in the way where he shaves. Come to I've ever me go out not in the capital and tell me what I would do.
When we are sent to the
way, we will see the
country. I'm the best of us.
In the case of no bloss,
I'll see it. Don't the are or

When we get done to take some stock of the question of race relations, those are the arguments that the other fellow puts up and we agree we will defeat him and those are the arguments that actually him is getting towards us as he has been doing. As I have said at a human question and the situation was reversed you would do just what he is doing. When we go to Africa as we will build our civilization build our supernatural government and everything do you mean to tell me you will allow another class of people to tell you how to run your own government? It is not human therefore those who tell us a better time is coming and Negroes are going to have big opportunities are endeavoring to deceive us according to the spirit of the country and the spirit of the nation.
I agree with Senator McCallum and I am going to give every support possible to his resolution and to his program. The quicker we can get this national idea into the minds of white folks and black folks in America the better it will be for us as a people it is bound to come if we are to be saved, it must come and if it does not come and we do not get away from here we are doomed, not as today but as for the time that is to confront us.
A Victory Won By the U. N. I. A.
Various Negro Improvement Association whether they give the credit to the organization or not because it will be the only solution of the great problem. The solution must either come that way or some of us must make our minds to die to die of economic pres-
Some of us must that we are 15
000 and we are going to be more
than 15 000 000 in the future, and
therefore the white man cannot get
of us. To who, man can get it
of every Negro in the United States
of America in three months. It took
Alwyn's days to die by starvation
but I don't know how Negro could
have that one. We are so unprepared
we are so unprepared, that when the
overrate will have become independent
out of that it economically independent—independent of Negro help in every way, when he arrives at that point when he has a man for every job and is independent of Negro help when he gets there—and he is getting there more and more every day—it is only a question of 60 days when the Negro problem is solved. Instead of 15 000 000 Negroes you will have 15
000 000 coffins and the epitaph will be
fired from starvation.
A Program of Economic Preparedness
I am telling you that is the situation as it is. It is no use any leader coming around telling us the proper time is coming without preparing for that proper time. What we have to do it we deserve to ward off economic disaster is to prepare economically for future and that is the program of International Negro Improvement. Association the higher industrialization of the Negro as he marches on to his highest political status. Politics with an industry means insecurity. A man who is going to talk politics without working is going to be a charge on the state. You cannot like on politics you have to live on industry you must be the foundation of your politics, and I am saying to the Negroes of the world that the thing you do now is to prepare our industry, so that if an industrial pressure is brought to bear on us in the future we will be independent to

The Cause of Prejudice
Again I remind you program against us in much because we are here because we have accomplished nothing and when you be encouraged of those who wish you will go out and do for yourself build up a government build up a government you will be as much respected in the world where you were once also because then you will be in your own time.
Moon stations of today represented the slaves. The great British man was once a race of slaves. In their own country they were not respected because the Romans went there, irritated and captured them and took them over to Rome and kept them slaves. They were not respected in items because they were brought and slaves to Rome. What happened Throughout the world the Brittler is respected today because he wont back to his dear Britain and built up a civilization of his own and by his self-reliance and his initiative he forced the respect of the world and he maintains it today yet he was once a slave and the position which the Brittler has attained, coming up through slavery you can attain if you will go out and nasidiously work for the development of your race and nation as the Britton has done.
That is my message tonight, and I am sating to you. Be not weary in well doing. In carrying out and spreading the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we have waited for four and one-half years to have a Southern Sonator to take this step. We will wait another four years, when the Congress of the United States of America will give its support, and I believe that the time will come, probably within another decade—another 15 years—when this very country—when the white people of this country will hip Negroes to found and establish a government of their own in Africa. I believe that because there are many within the nation who wish us well; but they are not going to wish us well if we remain here and compete with them. I am not going to encourage another man to come into my house and bose me, my wife and my children and everybody in there, but I wish him well from a distance. The fellow is my friend if he has his home, but when

Abraham Lincoln is not proud of a great hero of the Civil War. He was born a poor man in a small town in the South and used to walk the miles the busiest route to get a book to read and a good meal to eat. He had an innumerable number of friends and had a limited number of him and a divided country of his back the way he marshalled the forces of the Union and commanded the armies on the field and all the auxiliaries of the fighting forces of the North stalled him as a great leader and that with the good town in history.
Frederick Douglas goes down to
history because there is something about man that makes him a hero worshiper. Any man who can attempt an impossible feat and accomplish it is the man whom the world throws its hat up in the air to. I remember when Corbett whipped John L. Bullivan how crowds flowed about him I remember when I immmons whipped Corbett how crowds followed him I remember when after Jack Johnson conquered offries the boys and girls and men and women would follow him wherever it went in whatever city he might be in. This was because these men had accomplished something great. Well that is all of Frederick Douglass, but it takes a slave and nobler sense. He was born in a slave he started from the lowest depths of degradation, but by his mind, courage he escaped from slavery. He made it for a noted man and was honored by the greatest statesmen and authorities of England and America. It was that principle in him by which by its genius by his own personality by his pride and his own courage that he turned cognition from a hostile world and by value of his own great brain toward his personality his courage he formed in his life.
The World No Place for Weaklings
The world is so constituted that it
doesn't harm our lives or a platter.
For example, it can't get the big things in the
world at the right place, the races which have
been created and the force to take and
kill. The world is not constituted for
wrong men. Strong men
strong lives and strong nations have
ever ruled the world and they will ever
continue to dominate.
This morning while down town the H. Marcus (curve) and I were looking at the beautiful architecture in the town near the city Hall and he mentioned that New York in this present civilization were to be destroyed or two thousand years later some scholar could perish excavate it and with instruments by the architecture would find they could judge the character of that civilization. That is so the ardent sent an expedition to Kigua. They heard so much about this. Ethiopians had accomplished that they wanted to excavate dig down into the caves and find out whether the H. Marcus were Negroes and what the H. Marcus composed and contributed to civilization.
Reason for Faith in the Negro
That is what I have always had faith in. When I was a boy, Hancock taught me the great boxing teacher. He was a colorful man. There was a time when they used to row in the gymnasium to the winter on rowing machines. But the first man who conceived the idea of a rowing tank inside was Cooper a black man. If you ever pass by the gymnasium in New Haven, Town in film street you will see there great figures of athletes looking like the ones arrived out of one piece of some clay. They came in different sizes. There was not a white man. Connecticut who could put their toes on and they had to send out of the State for a man named Blake Negro to do this. This man was a prisoner for he fashioned and put these pieces together so as to make a perfect whole.
These three things convinced me that I could menace be inventors if they are such mastery workmen, the only omnipotent and do great things along their lines, too. All that the Negro has needed heretofore has been a birth to feel in himself the possibilities of his race. He has been overawed by the Anglo-Saxon civilization, and had not realized that 2000 years ago he said of the ancestors of the human race of today (the Billions) that they were too dull even to make good slaves. He did not conceive that 2000 years later those same Britons and the Anglo-Saxons then at the bottom of the ladder would rise to the top and by virtue of the power which was within them become the loading people of the world. And if the Negro can only believe that in his brain in his heart in his muscles and in all the mental moral and physical qualities which have lifted others as well which lifted his race in our minds who go forward with re

"It roots with you continued Prof Ferria, with your children and your children's children, with the knowledge that they acquire and the manner in which they shall use it with courage and faith in themselves, to prove to the world that black men and black women in the twentieth century will realize all of their possibilities and aspirations for complete development intellectual and material." This, said Prof Ferria, is what he, N. A. A has given to the Negro, but which the Tuskegee propaganda and the N. A. A C have not given him - faith in himself, that he can plow his own way.
Possibilities of Achievements of the Negre
Here the Professor related how when a mere boy, while on his uncle's arm the folks used to let him ride on their cot mustang which they would do by guiding the horse one leading him on each side and while this gave him much satisfaction his greatest desire and ambition was to reach the time when he could take the mustang and ride on him drive him out into the middle of the road and make the dust fly. That he said in conclusion is what the Negro has been taught from his childhood—that he has friends who will hold the bridle of the horse he is riding or test he may fall but what he wants to know today is that he can go out into the middle of the road and himself make the dust fly, without the aid or help of anyone. When he has acquired that confidence in himself, that courage, that patience, that self-mastery, the Negro will find it only that he can remove all obstacles in the way of his natural progress, but can also, by virtue of his inherent powers, commend the respect and that lengue the admiration of the world abroad applaud.

dress
Lady Hennetta Anton Davies address follows.
Your Excellency Provisional President of Africa Officers, Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. It is again my pleasure to be with you. After a brief tour I am once more in Liberty Hall where my mind and heart is.
Greatness of Frederick Douglass
A- Prof Ferris has mentioned three great Americans were born in the month of February. But to our race and to my way of thinking, the greatest of all was Frederick Douglass. (Applause.) It was my good fortune to have known Frederick Douglass from my earliest childhood. He was a wonderful man. Such a man is made once in a century—broad-minded, with a vision that took in the world, a vision that took in all the Negroes of the world just as our matchless leader has a vision of all the Negroes of the world. (Applause.) He traveled abroad to learn to know the West Indians in their homeland. He knew the American Negro, because he was one of them. He knew what it was to be a slave, therefore, he knew how to appreciate freedom
He chose the 14th day of February as his birthday. He was not fortunate, as we are to know the date of his birth, he scarcely knew his mother. He has often told me that as his mother would come to him in the night time stealing away from the plantation where she was a slave, just to hold him in her arms for a moment that he would look into her beautiful face, and it seemed only a dream to him and yet that dream remained with him until the last day of his life.
Much to Emulate in Douglass's Life
We will find much to emulate in the life of Frederick Douglass, standing up for the emancipation of his race when it was worth his very life to do so. Right here in the city of New York he was mobbed, down on the east side, so making a speech for the abolitionists. But nothing discouraged him. He was born with a purpose and for a purpose just as I believe Marvin (service) was born for a purpose and with a purpose and will not die until that purpose has been accomplished (Great applause). "Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime. And departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time."
COLORED WOMAN WINS POSSESSION OF MANY MILLIONS
Refineries and Oil Wells Worth $29,000.000 Awarded to Her After Long Fight in Louisiana Courts
Homer La Feb. 14- Twenty nine million dollars in accrued assets numerous owe us and a big oil refinery in Louisiana parish Louisiana have all been found by the Louisiana Supreme Court to be the property of Miss Lillian Turner, colored as sole heirs of her mother Miss Lona McGhee. Through a decision of the State Supreme Court last fall Miss Turner was awarded a retiring in the case after an injunction which presented her from obtaining title to her inheritance at the time Formerly April 11 the Third District Court of Alabama Parish awarded the lands and property to the colored heirs the State of Louisiana contesting the decision and obtaining a rehearing on the grounds of a contention that Miss Turner was an illegitimate child of her mother Mrs McGhee.
Another contestant Mrs Angeline Allen mother of Mt. Micheo and grandmother of Miss Turner began a contest of the claims of her grand daughter when oil was discovered on the otherwise worthless property but was defraed in both the lower and higher courts.
The final big battle in the case came up in the courts at this place on January 17. There were many witnesses on both sides and every effort was made by several white persons, with the assistance of suborned Negroes, to wrest the colored woman a enormous holdings from her. The excellence of the case and the strength of the claim which was made by the lightful heleness though were of a nature to bring to her and some of the best legal talent of this section of the country with the rare result that Miss Turner received an absolutely fair decision and came into full and absolute possession of what is possible one of the largest fortunes in the trained states owned by a woman.
The land upon which old was found, and which is finally the sole property of Lillian Turner, was originally a part of the worn-out Louisiana bottom land practically worthless for farming purposes and useful only as a place of residence for a few poor people. At no time until finally its value went up by leaps and bounds and the coming in of the first big gusher was the land worth, at the outside, more than $5000. No interest was taken in it not its owners. The poverty-streaked Angeline Allen, Lorna McGhee and Lillie Turner, grandmother, mother and daughter, were of no consequence apparently, to themselves their neighbors nor the community
No thought was ever taken of any of the parties to the case. Like many other farms in this district the Turner farm was in the oil belt. Experiments upon it were the same as thousands of other experiments which have been conducted and nothing obtained from them excepting hard work and blasted hope.
Once it was established though that the oil upon the place was real oil and that the money to be made from it was real money, some of the best legal talent of this section became the ardent solicitors for the favors of the despised three colored women. No case in the history of Louisiana has ever attracted more widespread interest and at this time no woman in the State is more cordially received or more warmly thought of than Lillian Turner, with her $29 000 000 golden halo.
STATE COMMISSIONER ADDRESSED YOUNSTOWN, OHIO, DIVISION NO. 123
The Booker T Washington settlement was filled as usual on Sunday January 20 to hear the Rt Hon Commissioner for Ohio
The meeting was called to order at
Rev Harper, after a few interesting remarks on how and why a commissioner was appointed for each and every State, introduced the speaker.
Mr. Sherrill, after showing how enemies of the organization by intimidating its leaders had hoped to destroy the organization, said as follows.
"When I read 'The Excellency's arrest, I said thank God, this is the best thing that could have happened at this time for the U N I A because we are in a great need for strong men and women
This arrest will serve to shake off from this organization all fault-finding, excuse-making, weak-kneed, bully-drawing spineless hypocrites, who have been sitting on the fence, not knowing whether to fall in or fall out, leaving only those mighty souls who have caught the vision of this noble work and are willing to put the program over with money, sacrifice and blood if necessary.
He spoke of and defended many criticisms of the U N I A. Speaking of the criticism that he U N I A is composed of "common people" Mr Sherrill continued. "Every great movement history records us begun and put over by the common people." After giving several historical proofs he went on. "I beg your pardon." "Because you call common people are not common people. These are the men and women who are closest to nature and humanity therefore the people God must have to put over His great work." He then carried us back upon the path of harm, progress, pointing out to us here and there the contribution the dark races have made to humanity from the beginning to the present time. Giving us, as he traced a bit of the white man's civilization and emphasizing the fact they were once savages and slaves, then with much feeling and parole concluded by saying. Shall we continue the fight for a righteous cause?
Yes, we will continue to fight until black Negroes, white Negroes, big Negroes, little Negroes, educated Negroes, ignorant Negroes realize that regardless of their color education or self-appointed position, we are all Negroes facing the same embarrassments, we are all Negroes barred out of the same places we are all Negroes crammed in the same Jim Crow cars, we are all Negroes capable of swinging to the same limb, and it ever will be thus as long as we remain separated, faction fighting faction, church fighting church lodges fighting lodges, blue Negroes fighting pink vein Negroes self-appointed leaders fighting leading Negroes yes, we will continue to fight and fight until the Negro everywhere realizes that like the Jap and Irishman, Negroes must organize under one banner, set their hearts and minds on one aim and travel with unfiltering step to one common destiny.
The meeting was adjourned until 8 p.m., to which the Rt. Hon. Commissioner proves himself to be the man in the right place, certainly we are not ashamed of Mr. Sherrill, we need young men of his type with the audacity, bull dog tenacity and more than all with that determination to do or die.
After the conclusion of the 8 p.m. meeting Mr. Sherrill asked the members to remain to have a special business session, to which they did Mr. Sherrill straightened out many things that were not working right, especially against the ex-secretary
E. R. E. GILKES.
Ex-Secretary:
DR. J. W. H. EASON AND SECT'Y.-GEN'L. TOOLE EN-TERTAINED IN PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh, Pa. Feb. 11, 1922.
Mme. C. Brooks, of 1648 Clark street,
Pittsburgh, was hostess at dinner
Tuesday afternoon, February 7. The
guests were Dr J. W. H. Eason, American leader, Right Honorable F. A. Toote, executive secretary, both members of the executive council of the U N I A. Mr George Weston, president of the Pittsburgh Division, Mr W. Francis, executive secretary of the same division, and Attorney Branson B. Clark, formerly of New York.
It seems that Thomas W Anderson, Commissioners for the State of Louisiana, has a strong governing ability and a controlling influence without compromise, for since his arrival in New Orleans the New Orleans Division has completely awakened of course, since the adjustmen of affairs by Dr J D. Gibson, Surgeon General, and the functioning of the executive secretary Mr William Phillips, we had practically recovered from the state of chaos into which we unfortunately fell but our attendance was so poor until it was almost, discouraging. Today we have a division almost second to none, and we are hinting to all other divisions to listen for the report of the New Orleans Division and the State of Louisiana at the coming convention.
Commissioner Anderson is doing good work in Louisiana, especially has he won the love and respect of the members of this division so that perfect order and harmony prevail during meetings.
Mr George McWaters acting president has also contributed favorably to the interest of the U. N. I. A. in New Orleans. Mr McWaters, being a Christian and a prominent church worker, has successfully represented the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the educational and ecclesiastical circle of the Crescent City, so that pastors of note are inviting the Garvey movement to their church for the enlightenment of the church members.
The Effect of the Arrest
The arrest of the President General also had a wonderful effect upon the New Orleans Division. Our people are determined more than ever to see the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association put over; hence since the arrest our attendance is larger than ever. The storm of persecution is only rocking this plant to deeper rooting.
Mrs Alice Williams, lady president, read a very interesting paper on the subject of "Girls." Mrs. Anna Harvey, lady vice-president, in her allegory of Joseph and his brethren, showed how sons of Jacob of today are trying to sell out their brother because of jealousy. Just as sure as Joseph was instrumental in saving his brethren from the famine, just as sure shall the spirit of Marcus Garvey save the sons of Africa from the great famine of the economic world.
Commissioner Anderson then spoke briefly and earnestly to the audience of keen listeners. He held up the
name of Marus Garvey as a gentilu-
and the greatest organizer of the age,
as well as the "dreamer of the hour."
Great Dreamers are great thinkers.
All races and people have had their
dreamers, but the difference between
Oliver Cromwell, the great English
benefactor, is that Garvey's dream will
live forever. "Robert Fulton dreamed
a dream and we have the steamship
Galilton dreams, that the world moved
and in spite of the opinion of Catholi-
cism at that time, we have the moving
minds of humanity today, and man are
thinking for themselves. Through the
dream of Marus Garvey, men and
women the world over are thinking
today as they have never thought before,
and generations to come shall see
a free and redeemed Africa.
Members of New Orleans Division are asked to think individually, think intelligently and constructively. Commissioner Anderson, stressing the subject of thought, solemnly appealed to the members to think deep and seriously. The commissioner explained that the thing uppermost in his mind at the present time is the coming election for officers of New Orleans Division No. 149, such officers to serve for a team of three years, hence the necessity of clear and impartial thinking on the past of those who will nominate. An expression of approval went up from the audience when the commissioner mentioned the necessity of prayer; by fervent prayer and earnest thinking the election will be a success and we will always have peace. In suppressing the policy of canvassing for candidates, the commissioner said. It is just and fair that we protect the organisation and the wise and best-thinking members against cliques and professional agitators. The resolution is as follows:
...
"Whereas, The dream of Marquis Garvey and the aims and object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are a source of inspiration to us; and
"Whereas. The enemies of race, without and within, through hatred and jealousy, are planning the overthrow of our freedom in causing the arrest of His Excellency, the Hon. Marous Garyer.
"Therefore, we, the members of New Orleans Division No. 169, in mass meeting assembled this 5th day of February, 1923, and in accord with the various divisions throughout Louisiana and with all the true members the world over, do solemnly resolve:
"That we shall continue to support the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Black Star Line and all auxiliaries of the organization,
"We also resolve that we dissuade as enemies and traitors of the Negro race all individuals, organizations and newspapers who and which ever publish and promote propaganda against His Excellency, the Hon. Marcos Garvey, and against the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, LESSON OF HIS CAREER
MR. ARTHUR BRISBANE in last Sunday's American calls attention to the fact that the two Americans, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whose birthdays are national holidays, were both born in February. Washington was a born aristocrat, whose intrepid courage enabled him to remain calm, serene and unmoved in the stormy winter at Valley Forge, when the colonial troops were inadequately fed, clothed and sheltered, and during the Conway Cabal, when there was a well organized conspiracy against him. His prudent mind and transcendant character, and indomitable will were backed by a powerful physique.
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin, was a rail splitter by profession, walked five or six miles after work to borrow books, walked back home, spent half the night reading and studying by candle light, and developed into a sagacious lawyer and stump speaker, earning the sobriquet of honest Abe. His debates with Stephen Douglass gave him national prestige. He was elected president of the United States, piloting the country through a four-years' civil war, showing remarkable power in organizing his Cabinet, remarkable power in sensing public sentiment, remarkable power in striking at the psychological moment, remarkable ability in sizing up men, selecting generals and tempering justice with mercy, and remarkable patience and fortitude. Washington and Lincoln are not only great Americans, but are great men when measured by any tape and standard.
And the birthday of Fred Douglass, America's greatest Negro, also occurs in February. He and Touissant L'Overture a c the popular heroes of the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere, for the same reason that Napoleon is the popular French hero and Abraham Lincoln the popular American hero. They all, starting at the lower rounds of life's ladder, climbed the dizzy and dazzling heights of fame, and thus demonstrated man's power to overcome environments and master and compel Fate.
Frederick Douglass' career reads more like the career of a hero of Dumas' novels. He began life a slave and became the friend and associate of America's and England's greatest scholars and statesmen, held important government positions at home, represented his government as important diplomatic adviser, and during the period of thirty-one years remained the adviser of eight successive Presidents, one of them a Democrat.
When his infant eyes looked around they saw the race that he was identified with grooming under the yoke of slavery, toiling in the fields, bleeding under the lash and chased by bloodhounds. But before Fred Douglass was fifty years old he saw his race, two hundred thousand strong, fighting to preserve the Union and making Abe Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation a realized fact instead of a meaningless flow of words. Before he was sixty years old he saw former slaves and sons of slaves sitting in State legislatures, making laws, serving as State Superintendents of Education, Secretaries of State, Lieutenant-Governors, becoming members of Congress at Washington (two holding seats as Senators from Mississippi), and holding such important positions as Postmasters, Collectors of Customs and Collectors of Revenue in the Southern States, and representing the Federal Government in such important positions as Marshal for the District of Columbia, Recorder of Deeds, Register of the Treasury, U. S. Minister to Halti, U. S. Minister to Santo Domingo, and U. S. Commissioner to Santo Domingo. The first, second, fourth and sixth of these positions were held by the noted abolitionist himself.
We doubt if any human being witnessed more transformations in the civic, political, social and economic status of himself and race than Frederick Douglass. Although lynching, disfranchisement and jimcrowism came into existence in the closing years of Douglass' life, it is fortunate that he did not live to see them arrive at manhood estate and endeavor to struggle the rights and liberties of his race. Now for a few words regarding the career of the distinguished Negro leader.
Fred Douglass was born in February, 1817, at Tuckahoe, near Easton, Md. He was reared as a slave on Col. Edward Lloyd's plantation until he was ten years of age, when he was transferred to a relative of his owner in Baltimore, Md. His young mistress taught him how to read. His young master stopped the lessons. It was these first few lessons that filled his soul with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. He wandered in the streets, picked up stray leaves in the dirty, muddy gutters, dried them and thus learned to read. He poured water or small, old fashioned spelling book called the Webster speller with devouring oyes. When working in the shipyards of Baltimore he learned to write by copying the marks which indicated the part of the ship the beams and timbers were to be placed. As a student in Baltimore, school boys were his teachers, board fences and walls, the canyon his pencil. It was thus Frederick Douglass increased the adventures of an education. It was thus that the birth of
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922
and woven in the very fibre and texture of Roman civilization. The slave was despised and rejected of men. But in three hundred years, in 285 A D, Diocletian, the son of a slave, became the Emperor of proud Rome. How did he do it? A situation developed where a capable, resourceful and energetic man was needed to bring order out of chaos, to take the reins of authority in his hands and direct affairs. And the son of the slave was the man of the hour to meet the requirements of the situation.
In 64 A D Emperor Nero of Rome persecuted the Christians. But in 314 A D the Emperor Constantine recognized Christianity as a state religion, and in 325 A D made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Why did Constantine reverse the edict of Nero? Simply because the small, despised and persecuted sect had grown in two hundred and fifty years into the most powerful moral force in the Roman Empire. So who is there who can say that the Negro will disperse and become submerged in western civilization if he measures his progress and takes out for the shore?
A race that could produce a Mohammed Vikh, a thousand L.O.G. an Emperor Menelek a Frederick Douglas an Alexander Crummell an Edward Wilmot Bliden, a Samuel Coleridge Taylor a Boozer I. Washington and a Sir William Conrad Leave a race that could face the burning of the tropes stand 250 years of slavery and one of mankind's hearts in body, keel and active in brains and limbs and vasa muscular spirit, in a race that though hampered by restricted educational and economic opportunity, distrust, dismeasurement and固襟ism, could not make remarkable progress everywhere possesses that superabundant still more events of power which wisely and prudently directed it.
who are carried away with the allure, the greatest to me on the race have been fought and won are simply muscled true, the anti lavers agitation, which resulted in the conspiration of a whole race, is now only a memorial. But there are small as grave questions confronting us today as confronted the nation. Freedom and manhood for the former slave brought new duties and responsibilities to the newly made citizen which he could never trade nor wood. It daunted upon him soon after he became a trotter at the little in which he was about to engage and which was to be the question of his right to be in the new situation in which he had placed him was to be an intellectual one and that to gain recognition in the struggle he would largely have to depend upon his own efforts and abilities to win victories. He entered into the conflict under suspicion and for more than sixty years he has been under the suspicion of white men—particularly of those who have always believed and contended that his "natural normal condition was that of a slave," and that freedom to do as he willed would cause him to revert to his former condition as a savage. His northern friends and champions were almost persuaded to believe that he was all they claimed for him—a man, possessing all the attributes belonging to man and who, under favoring conditions, would measure up to the full standard of a man.
I rederick Douglass, who had emerged from this condition of slavery once found himself in a northern city, jobless and penniless. He applied for work in a shipyard owned by a Northerner, who had been a contributor to the anti-slavery cause, and he was denied the opportunity to prove himself a man among men by this white man who had given largely of his means to liberate the slaves, on the ground that he was a Negro, and that he did not dare to give him employment in the fear that his white workmen would enter a protest against such action.
The Negro with keen vision could not fail to observe that the white man of the North was in a measure as great a slave to the labor interests as the black race had been to the plantocracy of the South. It is so today in many of the larger cities of the nation where the labor and trades unions are honeycombed in factory, mill and shop where the only Negroes seen in them are the porters and other laborers who do the drudgery which white men consider beneath them, and now that Europe is impoverished and bankrupt, even these mental jobs will soon be monopolized by the white pauper laborer of the countries lately engaged in the World War, and which are responsible for the conditions which now prevail in almost every country of Europe whose people are represented to be in a starving condition, whose mills and factories are shut down and whose outlook for a brighter and industrial and economic future, because they have no money, is hazy and uncertain. soon America will have received an influx of these jobless European laborers, and the Negroes will have to find new occupations. Nothing is more certain than that the toboggan is being placed in position for the benefit of the Negroes "who now sit at ease contemplating their jobs when off duty and endeavoring to convince themselves that they are indispensable to their employers." The day is coming in America when Negro laborers, mechanics, skilled workmen, clerks, bookkeepers, etc., will be as scarce as they are in Australia, for there will soon be enough white men of every nationality on these shores to fill every job, whether big or little, now held by a Negro. Negroes are only tolerated in these jobs now because there are not enough needy white men to fill them.
There are none so kind as those who will not see J E B.
GARVEY SHOULD HAVE COURT TRIAL BEFORE CONVICTION IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT
MARCUS GARVEY was arrested at New York and some investigation of the business of the Black Star Steamship Company appears to be in progress. If Mr Garvey should be found guilty of crime or the deception of the thousands who have trusted him, proper punishment is his due. However, in simple justice, he and his organization are entitled to that fairness based upon the American conception that the accused is "innocent until proved guilty". Mr. Garvey has been accused. He declares that enemies are plotting his ruin and are trying to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr Garvey should have an even break. If the accusations are proved, then let denunciation follow and let it not begin before. Such is the position of the New Age, and it is taken, first, because it would be just to every man and movement second, because it would be the tree protect itself by making it impossible early to destroy its organizations.
Holding no brief for Mr Garvey, and not numbered among his followers, this journal nevertheless recognizes certain large values in Garveyism. Marcus Garvey has unified Negro thought, has inspired a pride of race and has developed the idea of Negro capacity beyond measure. The name of Garvey will be remembered long after many of his detractors are forgotten. The name of Garvey has been one to compare with. He has developed an idea that has given hope to thousands, and more than any other one man has started the Negroes of the world thinking together. He has dashed aside all apology and has heroically claimed a place for his race at the very pinnacle of world esteem. For this and more, forgiving all of his extravagance of statement, let Marcus Garvey be praised. Every sane Negro who considers the future will give Garvey the credit he merits for this, though he may be in radical disagreement with the methods and plans of Garveyism.
The New York division of the U. N. I. A. sends forth a declaration of its vote of confidence in his leader, and in a petition, said to have been "signed by thousands," calls upon all Garvey followers and race members to retain their belief in Mr. Garvey and "the cause he represents."
(Continued on page 6.)
divine urge within him to know and to learn undoubtedly; helped Douglass in his rise to fame and to greatness.
Courage was an inborn quality of his soul. When a youth he thrashed the overseer who attempted to beat him. He fought white laborers on the lock yards of Baltimore. Twice he attempted to escape from slavery, was foiled in his efforts, chained and imprisoned. He tried again and succeeded, then came North to New Bedford, Mass. Congressman Thomas Dawes Elliott, the grandfather of Mrs Thomas M. Nelson, of New Bedford, Mass., was the first gentleman for whom Douglass worked in the whaling city.
But Douglass did not forget his God and the God of his people. He joined the A.M.E. Zion church in New Bedford and became an abolitionist heard him speak at a prayer meeting, became impressed with him and invited him to attend an anti-slavery meeting in 1841 he addressed an anti-slavery convention at Nautucket, electrified it and was almost immediately employed by the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. By his magnetic oratory he waged a relentless warfare against the enslavers of his race. He crossed the sea and captivated audiences by his cloquence.

society. I Douglas but with the exception of Daniel W. Worcester

Conclusion
such was the career of Frederick Douglass. It it ought to be an important to every person to demonstrate that genius, talent and virtuosity make themselves felt in the world, even if they are dotted in dark tunes. If Frederick Douglass, born a slave and self-educated, could take a training world to recognize his worth and manhood that ought not to nihil who were born freemen and have abundant opportunities to acquire in education make money, and in addition enjoy a certain measure of freedom of speech do?
We realize that the Negro as a whole is at the bottom of the ladder, even in his native heath Africa, and some think that he will always be the under dog in contact with Caucasian civilization, and that by going back to his native land he can escape competition with the Caucasian. But the garden spots of the world today, the lands flowing with milk and honey are possessed by the strong races and nightly nations. They were two and three thousand years ago, and probably will be two and three thousand years from now. As long as Africa abounds in gold copper, diamonds, ivory, coal, iron, ebony, mahogany, cocoa, rubber coffee, cassava, the Caucasian will be on the field endeavoring to secure and enjoy the lion's share. The Western Negro has a career in Africa provided he does not imagine that he is going on a perpetual holiday where breakfast dances, bridge and theatre parties, no rides moonlight excursions and midnight banquets and dances will be the order of the day.
There is not now and never has been a Garden of Leden which brainy races have permitted childlike races to enjoy undisturbed. The only place where the Negro can flee to and be relieved from competition, the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest is an uninhabitable desert, a barren mountain, or a fever stricken, snake-infested swamp, where no one else desires to go and live. Whether the Negro stays in the two Americas and the Antilles, or harks back to Africa, if he is weak, he will be forced to eat the crumbs that fall from the tables of the strong.
Prof W. N. Blinders Petrie in an article on "The Outlook for Civilization" in the Yale Review says "The Negro would require ages of a different climate to transmit the superabundant vitality which he needed to combat the African climate into the brain power available in favorable climates. Picked individuals of fine character show what the race may be when conditions have changed it, but it could not oust the trained Europeans except after a general wreckage." We are inclined to believe that Professor Petrie, who is pessimistic in his article about present civilization, is also pessimistic about the intellectual possibilities and potentialities of the native African. What we desire to call attention to is thus. If the Negro hasn't the brain power to survive in western civilization and has hard sledding, he will not find it a picnic matching his brain against the European in the garden spots of Africa. The African, however, will never be disturbed in the deserts or swamps or barren mountains.
And if the black man is strong enough to compete with the Caucasian in Africa, he will be strong enough to compete with him in the western hemisphere. It is not so much the locality in which a race energizes the inherent mental, moral, physical, industrial and commercial strength of the race.
And a great deal depends upon the black man's attitude himself. It Fred Douglass had said, "I am a slave, my mother was a slave and my brothers and sisters are slaves, and I will always be a slave, hence there is no use my mastering the three 'r's," he would have do I unknown to fame. But he said, "I am a man. It is possible for me to do what other men have done. It is possible for me to escape from slavery and enjoy the breath of freedom and climb the dizzy heights of fame." And the world knows the result.
So, too, if the black man says, "I am black, I am a Negro, I am an underdog. My ancestors have been underdogs for centuries, and my descendants will always be underdog." His case is hopeless. But if he says, "If I improve my mind and character and acquire knowledge until I develop into an intelligent citizen of the modern world, if I become an efficient workmen and amass wealth until I become an industrial and economic factor in modern civilization, I will work more in the world," regard," he has the same fighting spirit which other races that have risen have
Miracles have happened in the past and the will happen again in the future. Two thousand years ago Julius Caesar conquered the German barbarians and enslaved the savage Britons. But today the descendants of those slaves and barbarians are dominating the world, erecting buildings, bridges and subways which make the Roman Forum, the buildings on the Capitoline Hill, the Coliseum and the Appian Way pale into insignificance, flying in the air like a bird, casing under the water like a fish, talking to a person through the telephone three thousand miles away, sending telegraph messages through a cable laid under the ocean and using the ether of space to flash messages by wireless and producing scholars and scientists who could make the savants who gathered round the court of Augustus Caesar look like school boys. How did they do it? They sat at the feet of the children of Israel, the Greeks, the Romans and the Arabs, who received their cue from swarthy Childaea, brown Egypt and black Ethiopia, learned all they had to teach, discovered some things themselves and then made a practical application. When Augustus Caesar founded the Roman Empire a few years before the birth of Jesus the Christian slaves was embedded in the fabric
"THE ECONOMIC WEAPON"
A VISION
I am on a high precipice at the edge of the sea. At my feet I gushing tears splash up against the mouth of a medical case. Out on the peart like waters of the Caribbean a brigant drope anchor. It is night. A light tropical breast tickles my lungs. The sea is scarlet. There is a fire on a sugar plantation five miles away. It does not disturb me. It only adds to the night. I fall asleep. Swaking. I am amazed at what I see. There is a sort of sound table a few treble me a telegraph like thing with a flat marble top. On it garbed in a goof of timid silk is a girl, like a curly hair is long and flowy in the form is perfect her feet are bare her arms soft and beautiful she starts to dance in mild, barbaric kind of a boiling librel. I dance that whispers up my hopes, that sends me miles and miles past the horizon of crudities. It is not the sort of dance not adcertified in the catalogues of New England preparatory schools. Not what connoisseurs of the art call "artistic" (threatful word!) It defies description base in the darkness I watch her. Memoirs of boyhood, of love at the joy and charm of youth come back to me. It is life. Entirely unaware of me she goes on, and on until like a panting deer, she falls falls at my feet. I rush to her and lifts her in my arms. She faits. I do not try to restice her I gaze at her lovely form long and longingly. Then, all of a sudden, her eyes fly open. She sees her terrible face, and is afraid. Tramblingly she drains the muslin about her. Live-like. Without saying a word she gets up, turns up her lips in scorns her head proudly as me, and tansheal! My face was, I start to go then lol at my feet I stumble—yes stumble—upon a red chrysanthemum I take it, squeeze it to my lips, and all is night.

EDITORIAL NOTES
It is easy to fool some of the people as is evidenced by the wild rejoicing of a group of Negroos who affect to believe that because the Dyer antilynching bill has passed the House of Representatives it will become a law more potent in its operations than the war amendments. These amendments are in themselves sufficient for all the purposes which have called the Dyer bill into existence and would, if they could be enforced as the Dyer bill, is passed, cannot be, or rather we should say will not be, since the identical purpose at which it aims is the same. We are not so gullible as to accept as a finality, as some seem to, the action of the House of Representatives on the Dyer bill. There will, we believe be some rough slodding for the bill in the Senate, and if it passes that body we are of the opinion that its remains will defy identification. The Dyer bill and the soldier bonus bill are two issues now before Congress on the proper disposition on which hangs the fate of the party now in power. The proper disposition of these measures will mean the passage and enforcement both by appropriate legislation or the passing from power of the G. O. P. This is the way it looks to us at this writing. We may be mistaken, but we doubt it. J. E. B

A GREETING FROM AFRICA
Dear Sir!—I am in receipt of yours of the 20th ultimo, speaking of eknowl-
ment of my letter. Glad I am also to
hear of forwarding some to The Negro
World for publication.
Be of good courage, comrades, because
the time for Africa's redemption
is but an arrow shot. Others may to
you here and there, unsound people
among the Negro race may do all they
can to run your plane, but in all the
things, be of good courage, comrades.
At present there is no organization
which is greatly discussed of than the
Garvey's system. As I am writing an
other letter through you to the Negro

many thanks to Hon Marcus Garve
and his helpers.
Your faithful friend.

RT. HON. J. B. YEARWOOD TO ADDRESS NEWARK DIV.
A mass meeting of the Newark Division of the U. N. L. A. and C. L. will be held at Kanda's Auditorium. 557 Market street, Newark, on Wednesday, evening, February 15. The principal speaker will be the Assistant Secretary General, Hon. J. D. Yearwood. Other speakers will appear on the program, Good music.
GARVEY SHOULD HAVE COURT TRIAL
Certainly it is admirable that the followers of a leader truly to him when in distress, and every thinking Negro must see the meaning of this in its effect upon the race itself as well as upon race opponents. Neither organizations nor leaders resorting to selfish exploitation of the race should be encouraged. They should be destroyed quickly. But to prevent destruction of confidence in all race movements and leaders, cool judgment should weigh accusations. The Garvey may meet has gotten too much of a grip upon the minds of too many people to be "scrapped" without due consideration. If Garvey has been misrepresenting and it his organization has been imposing upon the credulity of a people, let them both go but it in the main, they are worth saving, then let their weaknesses be found and overcome and say to us the good
Above all, let us trown upon the too poor client disposition to tear down one in order to build upon it. It is too much like the famous Booker Washington craft story. There is work enough to be done for the salvation of the race to demand all the choice of its organizations. And the utter destruction of one in the other is less secure.

POPE PIUS XFS REMARKABLE CAREER
Iration, numbering its commemorative by the inscription of stretching back in unbroken history nearly nineteen hundred years. When Cardinal Achille Ratti, Archbishop of Milan, was elected Pope in the conclave of Cardinals in the Vatican on February 6, and assumed the name of Pius XI, he demonstrated that truth is stranger than fiction.
Three years ago Father Ratti was a priest and in that brief space he rose to the Bishopric, to the Archbishopric to the Cardinalite, and to the position of Supreme Pontiff of the most powerful ecclesiastical organization in the world. That read more like a romance than a reality. Pope Pius XI's rapid illustrates the triumph of age, the triumph of scholarship, and the value of preparedness.
The Triumph of Age

It was on April 25, 1918, that Father Kate Ceprick travelled to the career that finally landed him in the Papal Chair. He was sixty-one years old when he was sent by Pope Benedict XV to Poland as Papal Nuncio for the purpose of reorganizing the Church there and combatting Bolshevism. Previously he had served as teacher in church history, homeliness and dogmatic theology at the Seminario Majore of Milan. Prefect at the Piboteca Ambrosiana at Milan and Prefect of the great Nat can. Apostolic Liturgy. He had won renown as a learned scholar, but had not exhibited any genius for diplomacy or any unusual executive or administrative ability. Now sixty-one is a late age for a man to commence to win his spurs. Ninety-five percent of the scholars, scientists, novelists, poets, artists, musicianatesmen, generals, inventors and financiers have accomplished the work which made them famous and are resting on their oaks. At sixty-one Kant Hegel, Lotze and Rovee had written all of the books and Lidd and Jones had written nearly all of the books, which made them famous. At sixty-one Commodore Vanderbilt, Joliet Jacob Astor (gould John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie had made the fortunes. Before they were sixty-one I Pierpont Morgan, E H. Dormant and L H.

Before they were sixty-one Alexander the Great, Hancock John Casser Oliver Cromwell George Washington, Napoleon Coupette, Tonissant L'Overture and Ulysses Simpson Grant had won the victories which immortalize their names.
Luke Von Hindenburg and Field Marshal Loch who were dominant leaders in the World War when they were three score years and ten Father Rattu was a young old man. He turned back the title of Bolshevism and helped the army in Poland and on June 6, 1919 was appointed titular archbishop of Lepanto. Then Monsignor Rattu went as ecclesiastical commissioner to Upper Salzburg where with Getmans, Polish and French at logg leads he reorganized the Church. In April, 1921, Mgr Rattu was made a chishop of Milan on June 14, 1921, he was created Cardinal receiving the red hat two days later. He went to Milan when the Red Cardinal organized a strike brought order out of chaos and strengthened the university there. These were the big things that Monsignor Rattu did in the short space of three years, after he had reached the age of sixty-five.
The Triumph of Scholarship

Rather Ratt's appointment as Nurse "What," said others, "does not is a student, a recluse, a man and schools ever since he was as a field Marshal Foch, a student solved as the master strategist, a greatest war in human history, the man who has at his commence and the world's accumulated valves of power.

It is a mail supposed that much reading and study of books makes a man impractical, as books contain nothing but theories. But the initiated know that, besides containing theories, books contain facts, scientific and geographical knowledge and the record of how men have taced and solved political and military problems. The Philadelphia Ledger said that Luther Rattt's appointment as Nuncio to Poland was greeted with surprise "What," said others, "does Father Rattt know of diplomacy? He is a student, a recluse, a man who has cloistered himself in librarians and schools ever since he was admitted to the priesthood." But just as Field Marshal Foch, a student and teacher on military science, evolved as the master strategist, as the most consummate genius of the greatest war in human history, so Luther Rattt demonstrated that the man who has at his command the world's accumulated knowledge and the world's accumulated experience, has his hands on the throttle valves of power. For knowledge is power. The man who knows can do. Moses, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Marshal Foch and Pope Pius XI, although they labored in different fields, will go down in history as great doers because they were great knowers.
The Value of Preparedness
"Hamlet" says something like of men which taken at the floods voyage of their life is born is somewhat dependent upon his talents and display his power to a man when he is not prepared ment. But not so with Lutherion for the supreme opportunity al Nuncio to Poland
Shakespeare in "Hamlet" says something like this: "There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune, omitted all the future voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries." A man is somewhat dependent upon opportunity for the chance to exercise his talents and display his power. Sometimes the opportunity comes to a man when he is not prepared for it and cannot seize the golden moment. But not so with Lather Rattu. All his life had been a preparation for the supreme opportunity of his career when he was sent as Papal Nuncio to Poland.
First, by outdoor exercise, Father Ratti built up a vigorous physique, which is a necessary foundation for a successful career. He joined the Alpine Club and became a noted Alpine climber. Not only did he climb the Matterhorn and Mount Blanc, descending by the Dome glacier, but in 1889 he crossed Monte Rosa from Macugnaga, athwart the Marinelli gorge, passing for the first time on record the hill of Zunstein. On the evening of July 30, in descending from the glacier, Father Ratti and companions were compelled to spend the night on a narrow ledge 15.180 feet above sea level, stamping their feet to prevent their freezing.
Then, again, for years Father Ratti had been a careful student of science, history and theology and had studied the secret diplomatic correspondence of the last 900 years. Then he had mingled with men and understood human nature and the ways of the world.
The result was that when the golden moment came in April 25, 1918, when the priest was sent as Apostolic Visitor to Poland, he had the physique, the scholarship, the knowledge of diplomacy and of present social, political and religious conditions to measure up to all the requirements of the situation and start that rapid ascent which landed him in the papal chair with the name of Pope Plus XI.

We desire to acknowledge the receipt of "Children of Folly, or, The Voice of Truth," by Mr. George Emonei Carter; "Contemporary Poetry of the Negro," by Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, and two pamphlets by Professor Kelly Miller. Lack of space prevents our reviewing them this week and we will review them next week.
Some of our correspondents complain because we do not print all the articles, letters, U N I A notes and poems that are sent us. But this is the real situation. Each week about 300 articles, letters, U N I A notes and poems are sent us. Of these only 80 are published for lack of space. We play no favorites, but select the best. Now, an article that is short, that is written on one side of the paper, that can be easily read, that observes the idioms of English grammar and that is interesting stands a better chance of getting in The Negro World or any other newspaper than on a side, which is unusually long, written on both sides of the paper, that cannot be easily read that is not grammatical in structure or serious in tone.
We have repeatedly stated that we have so many divisions (over 700) that we suggest divisions send us reports of big and important meetings rather than weekly reports owing to our lack of space. Even when we printed the Christmas Number and ran into 24 pages we had eight pages of overset matter. Nearly every week he have from one to two pages overset and sometimes three to four pages overset. That is matter that is selected for publication, but crowded out for lack of space.
We have put drawings crowded with enough articles, letters, poems, U.N. A notes some of them very good, to print four issues of The Negro World. Thus, it a blizzard were to isolate New York on a Wednesday so that trains could not come into the city for six days, there is enough surplus matter in the drawers to fill, and more than fill, the next issue of The Negro World.
So we say to our contributors make your articles, letters, U.N.

It unfortunately becomes my lot to be suffering at this time when extreme sacrificial service is needed for the cause 'Africa' in the different parts of the world where Negroes dominate, but through this medium I desire to remind you that the goal for which we arrive is more than the redemption of Africa and the final freedom of 400,000,000 Negroes.

"The valley of the Nile had developed a high stage of civilization thousands of years before the people of the West had dreamed of the possibilities of a fork, or a wheel or a house. And we shall therefore, leave our great-great-grandfathers in their caves while we sit the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean, where stood the earliest school of the human race.
"The Egyptians have taught us many things. They were excellent farmers. They knew all about irrigation. They built temples which fenced off crops ooped by the Greeks, and which served as the earliest models for the churches in which we worship nowadays. They had invested a calendar which proved such a useful instrument for the purpose of measuring time that it has survived with a few changes until today."
Then he goes on to tell how our letters, which lie at the roots of our civilization, have been developed out of the ancient Egyptian a hieroglyphs. He explains the rise and fall of Egypt, and the passing of the sceptre to other hands.
In the same spirit he sweeps over Asia Minor, bringing before the render the spectral figures of Sumerians, Akkadians and the other elements of the great Semitic melting. He even finds space for Moses and the little people who have played such a striking part in the development of the Western world.

"The Story of Mankind," by Hendrik Van Loon, 1st pages. Published by Boul and Liveright. 105 West Fortiest street, New York.
Dr Van Loon is Dutch so was the great Erasmus, and this book reminds us that Holland has always been in the lead in that noble march of souls facing toward the light which, for want of a better name, we call Humanum. The points of resemblance between Erasmus and his later countryman are many, but since our present object is not an academic one we must omit them. It may suffice to say that Erasmus also wrote for young people (although the scholars have forgotten it) as Mr Van Loon does in this book, that he passed the human procession through the alembic of his mild and gentle humor and remained always the champion of the wider world, as against the narrowing claims of countries, creeds and dogmas. In these aspects Van Loon l. a worthy spiritual descendant of the great humanist of the sixteenth century
The Story of Mankind was written for young people—but you would hardly ever suspect it, except when you look at the pictures. Perhaps, too, the style gives away the secret of its purpose: it passes strange the, whereas history is, in its ultimate terms, a story told, the usual historian is so heavy that no one thinks of going to his pages for a story. Yet in the end the story-teller wins as against the archaeologist, statistician and battle expert. The "Child's History of England" Putnam Macnulay and Prescott will always find readers because the knew 'how to tell a story' And it is because Dr Dan Loon makes a story of man's history that his work holds the interest of all readers.
The average outline of universal history intertwined for white peoples children generally begins with Greece, because there was no white group anywhere which played any commendable part on the stage of civilization prior to twenty-four hundred years ago. Therefore, since education follows social theory, and white men are on top today white children must be taught that white men were always on top, that prior to them there war nothing known of civilization or culture, and hence their notion of civilization's history requires a Greek beginning. From this various view of history Mr Van Loong's book is entirely free.
He begins where Mr. Wells begins, but he tells the same story to that more exacting audience which stretches from the nursery to the orchestra seats. He sketches the life of prehistoric man as he dodged tigers and hunted wild horses, hid from the thunder and sharpened his store axe. And as he tracer their course on the upward trail, he comes to the first oncampment and stops to tell us of Egypt—the first land of culture and mother of civilization. I venture to quote some of what he says: as an in-

SOLIDARITY OF BLACK FOLK THE CRY OF THE AGE
Student of Sociology Eminently Discusses Subject and Comes to Pertinent Conclusions
By HUBERT J. COX
The tone of affirmative finality in which Negroes express their firm conviction that African or Negro race unity is impossible—that haughty disdain and lofty condescension which accompany this opinion—are a blot on our character that calls for a serious case, impartial inquiry and investigation.
An indescribable heart wound stabs the feelings of anyone who has worked for Negro racial unity and who deep down in his or her innermost soul has a undying love for him anywhere they may be in the world.
To find the error a careful analysis, a searching diagnosis must engage the attention of the inquirers or investigators.
The history of the case, disintegration, subsequent environment, education and outlook must be strictly remembered; a delicate operation has to be performed, taking away and adding infinitesimal portions until the pointer rests truly vertical.
Foreword
The general impression, due to the lack of historical background and information on the point, that it up to the individual to solve for himself or herself the problem of the day that finds an easy place in the minds of Negroes long removed from their African ancestry, everywhere that Negroes are to be found, is deplored. it is on account of this erroneous impression that there is no connecting link which has a direct relationship with the past that reflects itself in the attitude of Negroes when a review is taken to show the causes of disintegration. Whatever may have been the facts in the actual life of any member of the Negro race, it must never be forgotten the source from which the branches sprung. This will counteract the reflex mental states that Negroes find themselves in when requested to think along strict racial lines.
History
A bountiful nature, equitable in temperature, plentiful in resources, gave to the African little cause for the aggressive spirit commonly attributed to civilized people. The parsimony of nature in cold climates, the necessity to find food, shelter, clothes and comfort have been a potent factor in the development of civilized races. An honest survey, comparatively appealing, will place the African ahead in many respects, should a strict adherence to facts be the guiding motive. The communal life of African tribes is affected to by Mrs. Casely Hayford, African, who not long ago gave descriptive and graphic accounts in lectures in this city. Her audiences were not confined to her own group and she took the opportunity to remark on the strangeness she finds that grips the Western mind when African are mentioned and evidence undeniable is given in support of their claims.
This communal life exposes a solidarity, respect for traditions, customs, age and authority that prove the innate elements of clanishness discovered in the several branches of the human race is not left out in the makeup of the African people.
"The wars of the Zulus and Ashanti show that a general belief in numbers urged Africans at that time to withstand the intrigues of aggressive invaders and enemies, another proof that the idea of unity is not foreign to the African people as a character. The courses of native development when arrested by artificial means or other bindances such as slavery was creates gaps that sometimes take centuries to repair.
Disintegration, Environment and Education
The scene is changed. An understanding is made along trade lines with the Africans who live on the coast line of that rich continent. From time to time there is noticeable a disappearance of men and women that becomes plumping, and the matter is looked into. Thus the protection of night whole tribes or parts of tribes who are peaceful in their relations with the traders are stolen. Then commence the uprising, and more uprising wars and more wars. Trave Africans do brave feuds and barries die, stirring pages of history so acted. Superior implements of death force on the Africans truces and agreements. Africa is conquered. There is an intention on the part of the invading enemies to honour their skaddles with honesty, goodwill or justice. Africans are required for the special purpose of delivery, labor, and the creation of wealth. A common mistake is that of thinking there is a fair return for the labor of Negroes at the present time. An economic slavery now exists in its vicinity, gills the workers of the world.

behavior recognizes the change that comes with constant contact of particular individuals or groups, it remarkable unusual but interesting happenings take place in the lives of the elves and the overdrafs.
Subject to the will and desires of overseers, masters or purchasers we find that other forces now play a part in the relationship of these separate groups. African women are commonly to look upon and are desired by the less moral of their overseers and even masters. Nature has set up no peculiar antipathy between the male and female sex of any particular group and we are now familiar with the results of this misgénation. There no redress against these moral wrongs which now corrupt the lives of those women. The overseers and masters were kept informed as to possible outbreaks and discontent that met with a speedy arrest, whippings and other punishments meted out to the ring leaders. In there not still a selling out and a giving over of the plans of the more advanced to enemies. Here and there in foreign parts is there not still a series of subjection and oppression practiced by the more fortunate placed against their less equipped brethren. How long will Negroes continue to take advantage against their own for brief authority and paltry places in the government of themselves? Striving to weather the storms and stress of life the African slaves themselves enter the arena of human devilty. The curtain rises and falls on stage plays and actors alike—the ensemble is discordant but not overbearing—there is honesty, devotion and self-sacrifice in these sera. Contact continues to wear down the rougher edge. More is taking place than can be placed in this sketch. A moral, religious and spiritual consciousness awakens the people of England and the government of the British Empire it culminates in the proclamation of freedom and the emancipation of the slaves. The document was signed by Queen Victoria. Education spreads, the hard lines of environment continue to soften, the dominant thought forces of the overlords react favorably to the oppressors as there is inserted in all mediums of disseminating knowledge to the Negroes ideas of satisfaction; opposing and repressing all African traits. New blood is not forthcoming, and there gradually occurs inertia. As the power of resistance becomes weaker and more feeble, the stronger grows the sentiment and adaptation to the environment and a feeling that from time immemorial this place was their natural habitat. An assumption that things were so intended and a place in the Association of Nations called the British Empire in their lot.
France
A suave finesse, delicacy of hounding were the method used by France in her colonies. The usual manipulations, chitancy and double dealing takes place. The culminating point was the intropid victories of Toussaint L'ouverture demonstrating the undying spirit of Negroes. Always far seeing the French have a gradual increasing influence given to Negroes in the essentials of government of that Republic which inspires a feeling of confidence and security.
Germany
German East Africa, the sphere of their greater influence before the world war, witnesses a thorough organization and methods by which she became famous. Africans were well trained and suffered a small restraint as with German foregone she saw that greater development a bigger return on the investment. In all parts of Germany, but especially in Berlin, Africans are accorded the advantages of higher education and undoubtedly higher social relationships as intelligence recognizes no barriers. A feeling of a part and parcel of the then German Empire, Negroes everywhere are not opposed to Germany. The recent attack coming from that country has been a matter of propaganda aimed at France.
Spain, Portugal, Belgium
The defeat of the Spanish Armada placed that power in decidence and a general loss of her prestige. Her hold was always supported by England, who cut her loose. The recent attempts to hold Morocco in subjection have been one of her recent disasters. Fortu-
gusee East Africa we have evidence of her troubles and as Portugal want down so her grip was lessened and Africans reverted to a degree of shiftlessness. The strictest of Belgium are well known in the Congo. There is a intent feeling that old scores will be wiped off some time.
The other nations, as was the case with Holland, never had a considerable slave trade, and no definite impression on the Negroes released from their domination. The training of Africa or Negroes never had a definite purpose, and whenever there is a reversion to primitive life it should not surprise us to the unlooker.
been handed down from generation to generation of Africans and there is no forgetting as far as they are concerned. And will we be found recalcitrant and unworthy of their trust? Not if I understand the spirit of an awakened people.

America
Peculiar contradictions face the issue here. The North always opposed Northern interference on what they have assumed their own for tracking New Yorkless, the culminating point was the elimination of the Negro by President Lincoln in the Civil War, with the trying conditions of reconstruction, mark the sojourn of Afro-Americans, or Negroes, in this country. In many respects similar conditions exist and mark the development of Negroes, as is the case abroad. A moderate form of self government acts as a palliative to relieve the direct economic strain
The yet hostile camps are agreed that the Negro is an alien and an unassimilated material in the body politic of the nation This is of the world a curious phenomena. The historian must paint it honestly, so that generations in the making will get a fair idea of unusual happenings at all stages of the world age. The prominence of democracy and its culture are to unattainable heights that date the manhood and womanhood of Negroes. We shall at what will follow.

the exception of the color of their skin
and hair, which have their gradations,
nothing in common holds them in com-
mand. They are here because they are
here. A rank individual is the out-
look.
The French outlook of Negroes is somewhat indeterminate. An acknowledgment of Negroes but an account of French first. Betwixt and between Diplomacy will develop diplomats directly or indirectly. Think of Haiti. The German outlook of Negroes is a satisfaction that within that nation a degree of their destiny lies, to be no appreciable hatred and a lasting respect has been incubated by a broad South Africa, in policy, and an appeal to the cause of Africans. Aquatification of agriculture and a wish for their return to peace. Their organization efficiency, science, culinary industrial and sociological adjustment along industrial lines will hold an eminent place in the world. The Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian and Dutch outlook of Negroes is a field to be paid by time. This is a feeling that gradually grows stronger as the evidence multiplies to the discredit of our traductors.
The outlook of Negroes in America is solidly racial. An unyielding unrest for fuller liberty of action. Greater expression Higher development Release from conditions of inferior servitude. Protection of life and property and wish to engage in the essentials of government. This reveals an outlook of disasfaction with awakened interest in hereditary claims and inalienable rights outside.
The outlook in Africa is awakened belief and hopefulness that help is coming from brothers and sisters away from home. Curious, perhaps suspicious, yet the call of deep unto deep, kin unto kin, swells the air with its longings, resonant with many repeating. A cry in recoil is heard. we hear and understand and are coming. The separations due to slavery have

Resume
Within this great body of Negroes is that impossible unity" that must shine if the future is to record a favorable page in the sinanac of time. With inherent innate traits, expressive reactions due to the various alien influences that have directly and indirectly controlled individual and materialial merging their ideas and personalities, looking into and out of themselves battling against odds, their own ambitions, pretty jealousies and clashing self-interests, their lack of elation and mass ideas for proper survival, broken and divided up into thirteen of pieces incapable of sustained affection positive and negative incapable Negroes who have not come into realisation find it easier to overcome the entanglements by an affirmative opinion and a declaration of impossibility the world called by the great Napoleon the adjective of tools.
A feeling of calm and calculating courage stalls into the breasts of Africans and Negroes everywhere as they realize the barriers and strengthen themselves at all points to meet the tests that come from day to day with exactness and increasing volume but finds us unafraid, undaunted, full of vigor and a spirit challenging fate to do its worst.
Recommendations
Mature and Negroes live where as individuals must feel that they are ended with each other, irrespective of place or any condition whatsoever. Refuse to allow any barrier or difficulty, personal or otherwise, to subvert this understanding. This belief should take a place in life as the verities that have a universal ascent.
The establishment of chars of African and Negro history in all universities, as suggested by the eminent editor and publisher Duse Mohamed All Efferd. A historical background is an essential base on which progress is supported.
The acceptance of the name African at home and abroad.
The name Negro should be raised to a position of power dignity, respect and honor.
A constant increasing intentional fort relating and increasing talent and natural gifts by endeavours for an environment in all phases of life. A major contributions on account of the value to humanity to be given recognition.
A common sentiment finding its fullest expression in African nationalism.
At all times places and the home the idea of race fit.
The successive stages of development to be adjusted by practical application of fundamental principles to the benefit of the whole.
A conservation of all gifts. A mutual exchange a local and foreign agreements to the satisfaction of all
The Greatest in the History Negro R
The fundamental belief in the rights to our ancestral home, traditions, customs and uses.
The fundamental belief in the sovereignty of person.
The fundamental belief in government by ourselves for ourselves.
An exchange of newspapers, magazines, periodicals and other press publications.
Interstate travel. Intercolonial travel. European and Eastern travel. Universal solidarity.
The establishment of representative centers of African and Negro thought in all parts of the world.
The amalgamation of loose interests and enterprises in fraternal, educational, social, business and scientific pursuits.
An intensive and merciless public campaign everywhere, showing to the people where their interests lie and the means and methods employed in hampering their advancement.
The laws of their particular domicile to be recognized.
Conclusion
African and Negro racial unit has been accomplished in that the International Negro Improvement Association and its allied branches and corporate offices have released the mental forces of millions of people. It is further accomplished in the destination of housing stipends, continental blindness and geographical limitation. The establishment of a historical background and the connecting link between each portion of chain. The individual relationship that finds a beauty place in the consciousness of Africans and Negroes everywhere.

EMANCIPATION IN THE STRICTTEST SENSE OF THE TERM
By BRANSTAN S. CLARK
he just celebrated one of the important events in the history of the Negro race namely the emancipation of the Negroes in the United States. Some contend that the great infiltrator, Abraham Lincoln, was accustomed by a selfish motive when he freed the slaves in this country in that they quote him as saying, "If I could give the Union without freezing the slave I would not free a single one of others contend that he was accustomed to do this beneficent deed by a purely philanthropic motive, which characterized his entire life from a log cabin to the White House in Washington. But as Hudson Maxim has pointed out there is no such thing as disinterested altruism, that it is an impossibility, and that every human interest is of necessity a self-interest let us cast the argument aside as to what or what did not accuate Mr. Lincoln in this particular instance, and give him the benefit of the doubt or let us say, that he meant well to the black man.
In view of the foregoing, however it may not be amiss to raise the question. Do we enjoy the rights, privileges and immunities ostensibly secured to us under this immortal document that is said to have made us men instead of property? There can be but one answer to the question, and it cannot but be understood alike by all and it comes from Mississippi Louisiana, Texas, Georgia and Alabama. Booker T Washington said, "There is room enough under the Eagle's wing for both races. Regardless of what Mr. Washington might have had in mind when he said these words, I say, there is room under the Eagle's wing for the dominance overborship and supremacy of the one race.

It may be a biggie if it be this. I will a fair and when we are one of the getting a hollow one. I will a fair and when we are a half of the getting a hollow one. Whence in 1528 Belgium could have a half leaf from the hollow one, but she also refused to have a whole one or
Like a local resident Harding had
the problem is to mind when we use of us demand liberty and there cannot be one without the other. We must hold the equal protection of all people. We are a people and the burden of going to the contrary is on those who argue that we are not. For until we can prove to the utter satisfaction of modern biologists that we are not the same structure of the muscles and glands that we have not the same intestinal functions but the can satisfy modern psychologists that we have not the same cerebral region the same cerebellum cells oblongs and spinal cord as the other fellows until they can ratify modern physiologists that we do not reproduce our species in the same way as the other fellows their argument fails complete. We then are a people we demand liberty and justice and it must be held our unquestioned possession.
Do demand these things but are we going to get them by merely demanding them? Unfortunately Negroes are not agreed as to how they are to obtain these inalienable rights. Regardless of what other may say, I appeal from sentiment, selflessness and ingriness to calm judgment, logic past examples, common sense and philosophy.
Dr Gregg of Waltorfforce University in his Emancipation Celebration address of Soldiers Memorial Hall, Jan. 19, 1927 said, "Our blood is in the soil. Your blood is in the soil and we'll go a little further. We have a large measure made America what she is today. We have killed her soil we have lifted great wealth from her mines we have fought her battles at home and abroad and more. We have made her famous in art and letters. But with all this in mind can we conscientiously say that we have more blood in the soil of America than the Pilgrim Fathers had in English soil or the Italiane Polakes Germans, Irish and Russians had in their respective native solids. Or can we reasonably say that we have done more for America than those different nationalities did for the development of their respective countries. Yet on the final question was asked as
shall we be allowed to worship our God according to the dictates of our conscience and the answer was No. these brave men and women packed their belongings and crossed what was then known as the Sea of Darkness to a land infested with wild beasts and images of a monstrous nature. In the case of the other nationalities, when they discovered that they were not getting a square deal they took from time to time have crossed over to a land where they could obtain more elbow space.
We have demands coming, but I am afraid that we are looking for them in the wrong direction. We are asking the white man to share his government and his different business enterprises with us on a fifty-fifty basis, but I stand on my blind legs in the face of all criticism, when I say that he is not going to do it, and if we are looking and waiting and praying for anything in that direction, let me say this: It going to be a long wait, a long look.
and we might have to say that there is no God. But I self you what is true it is the yearning desire of many well-thinking white Americans to see the Negro found a government of his own. This is substantiated by the settlement of Liberia for Negroes by the American Colonization Society in 1820 and America has done more for the continuance of this little Negro republic than any other power. All of this grew out of an attempt to restore the African to his native land. America owes us a debt, and she is ready willing and able to pay that debt as soon as we ask for it in the right channel. When America was fighting for her independence France said, 'If those Americans have the grit to do what they had the nerve to declare I will be the first to help her and so she did, when she saw that the Americans were in earnest. Similarly if we have the dauntiness to prove to the world that we are men like other men, dear old Uncle Sam will be the first to bear his breast to cannon and put his hand into his pocket and help us. I speak whereof I know. We have nothing to expect from England, by way of help but do not forget that according to Sclpio Africanus. Greatness, like itself always appreciates Greatness.
Members of the Negro race. I appeal to you let us adopt a flag and a country all our own. Let our flag stand for Negro Independence and dignity, and let it flutter from the sun-kissed hills of Africa, extending from Capetown to Georgetown, Port Elizabeth East London Port Alfred Williamtown, Durban and Petermeritzberg in the South, to Oran, Algiers, Tripoli Alexandria and Port Said in the North and from Rio-de-Oro Somegal and Prestown in the West to the Red Sea Gulf of Aden and British Somaliland in the East therapy establishing absolute Negro emancipation in the greatest sense of the term.
THE YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, U. N. L. A., HOLDS ROUSING MEETING
January 6. Never before had there a meeting held on the first Sunday of every month in the history of the University A of Division No. 123 Youngstown A until January 6. 1922. Through the influence of the Rt Hon Commissioner and Executive Secretary they were able to impress on the minds of the loyal members that it is constitutional to have meetings on the first Sunday and it will increase the enthusiasm of the members more. At this meeting we found out that they were a large number. The meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. Rev Clayton, first vice-president, prelaid. The opening ode was sung. Prayer by the first vice-president. There were a good many interesting remarks given by Rev Clayton and Mr Benhardt, asking for more co-operation and sacrifice.
The Executive Secretar's remarks hereon You should harness the elements and nature and use them to His will
I from a disorganized race of four cars ago we have grown into a world organization Our desire is that we continue the prosecution of that ideal until we achieve the success we desire, which is a Free and Redeemed African Nation to be controlled by the degrees of the World
In climbing to this ideal we must expect to meet with discouragements of every kind, not only coming from those who are directly opposed to us, but even from those who are within our own ranks
The work of the U N I A for the emancipation of the Negroes of the world is a work of reformation. All reform movements have had their time of discouragement. But as for the U N I A, we are determined that there shall be no discouragements to set us back. We are determined to climb the Alps of opposition until we achieve the things that are dear to us. All that is required is a conscious feeling of determination upon each and every one who make up the Negro race. The Negro of today must make up his mind to do or die. The will, properly exercised, will bring about the desired results. The difference between Negroes today is that a part of us have a will to do, a will to achieve, a will not to surrender, while the other part of us have no will whatsoever, and content ourselves with the idea of "what's the use of trying, it can't be done."
With the New Negro of today there is nothing impossible that is possible to man. If men in ages past have built nations, empires, and freed them themselves from chattel and industrial slavery, then we, as a race, must do it or die. To pass off the stage of human action and hurled in the oblivion of the past as a race being unworthy to live among God's creatures.
The executive secretary referred to Edison, Stephanson, and Marconi, to what they had done, and by what they had done it revealed to him that man is the supreme lord of creation, bowing only to God in those things that are spiritual and divine.
The U. N. I. A feels that there is a broad field of conquest open-up to Negroes. Africa, with all her hidden mysteries and undeveloped treasures, waiting on the combined determination of the Negro peoples of the world to demonstrate through her the power and ability to rise from the lowest even to the highest. REV. CLAYTON.
A WEEK OF POLITICS AND FINANCE
By ARTHUR E. KING
The "Manchester Guardian Commercial," speaking of the decline in India's foreign trade, recently said, "It is useless to belittle the serious results which the Gandhi movement has had on trade. No matter what the political results may be, it has, had a most serious effect on the cotton trade. It is only necessary to follow the evidence being given before the Fiscal Commission, now sitting, to appreciate how thoroughly it has become instilled in the minds of both Government officials and Indians alike that the future policy must be one of developing Indian resources, and, if necessary, impose protective duties. There is no doubt the Gandhi propaganda has done much to educate the public to this belief. The influence of the movement is being felt by the local mills, who find they cannot sell the dried and fancy goods for which weeks ago there was a regular demand Their dyeing and bleaching departments are almost stopped. The only demand is for khaki cloth, and while everyone says the present state of things cannot last, the fact remains that the movement is gaining strength, especially in the villages. A feeling of great unrest and anxiety prevails, and in an atmosphere of this sort business becomes impossible. To anticipate any revival of trade in India within the next six months would be extremely optimistic.
The local mills continue to make huge profits. Owing to the Gandhi movement, the demand for coarse yarns for hand-loom weaving has been very large, consequently many mills found it more profitable to spin these and buy imported yarns for the manufacture of their own goods. In order to counteract this, Gandhi has laid down a classification to guide his followers in their purchase of khadi and preference has to be given on the following lines
1. Hand-spun yarns and hand-woven
2. Mill-spun from Indian cotton and hand-woven
3. Mill-spun yarns and mill-woven
4. Foreign-spun yarns and mill-woven
Mills were requested to send in returns of what they were using in the manufacture of khaki, and their names were advertised. Some who failed or refused to do this were boycotted. Practically they have all had to come into line, and many have undertaken not to use further imported yarns when their present stock is exhausted."
Uranian Deposits in the Congo M. Burtighenb, managing director of the mining association of the Upper Katanga, in 1913 announced the discovery in the Luiswish copper mine in the Congo of small veins of a mineral deposit consisting, namely, of uranium oxide, and it was estimated that a ton of the ore from this mine would yield about 192 milligrams of radium. Two years later, much rich deposits were found in the Cherkolob mine. As the development of these mines proceeded, it was ascertained that they contained large quantities of ores extremely rich in uranium and radium, and Professor Schoop anticipates a yield of the grammof radium from nine tons of the dushts ore alone. Arrangements have been made with the Societe Metallurgique de Hoboken for the erection of a works for these ores, and it is hoped to begin producing radium in July, the first consignments having already been landed at Hoboken. The total average annual output of radium may be reckoned at from 25 to 30 grains, the United States producing from 20 to 25 gr. and Czechoslovak from 3 to 4 gr. the remainder coming from France, England and Portugal. Since the starting of the industry in the United States in 1913 it has produced about 115 gr and the rest of the world some 40 gr. The total amount now aailable being 155 gr. The intervention of the Congo, it is expected, will result in a considerable addition to the annual output
Diamond Mining in the Congo
In the course of an address to the Belgian Society of Engineers and Manufacturers, Commander Layer head of the Colonial Section of the Brussels Fair explained the importance of the diamond resources of the Congo During the financial year 1920-21 Fr 50,000,000 worth of rough stones from the Kassai Basin were sold in Antwerp affording employment to 8,500 out of 12,000 diamond workers in that town. The aggregate weekly wages of this skilled labor amount to Fr 16,000,000 and as without the arrival of any further consignment the supply will keep the men in work for four weeks the result will be Fr 64,000 and paid out in wages, and that at a time when the rival industry in Amsterdam is practically at a standstill Taking into account the profit of the importer the cutter and the salesman Reese Diamonds represent a cost value of Fr 150,000,000, and as 94 per cent are for export they must contribute largely to the restoration of the exchange The official returns of the export of diamonds from the Congo for the year 1918 to 1920 are as follows
Year. Carats France
1913 700 6,000

The Canal Zone are of American origin. Minor repairs to casings and tubes are made by some of the fifteen drivers and owners of private motorcycle materials being purchased from local dealers in automobile accessories and in the case of Canal employees, at the commissaries of the Panama Canal. Automobiles are used considerably in Balboa Colon Cristobal and Galum At Balboa a fully equipped garage is operated, principally for the repairs of vehicles used in connection with the operation of the canal. It is also patronized by private automobile owners. Supplies are purchased through the regular purchasing agencies of the canal.
Tire Repairing in Panama City
There are several small shops in Panama City conducted for the most part by West Indians where minor repairs to tires are made, purchases of materials being through local automobile dealers. A shop equipped to retread tires and make complete repairs to tubes and casings should prove a successful business in this city, but the cost of original equipment is a deterring feature
The repairing and retreading of worn tires is not as general as in the United States, and many tires which could be repaired economically are discarded and sold as scrap rubber
Straight-Side Tires in British Hon. duras
There are in use in this colony sixty-one passenger automobiles. All of them have been imported from the United States and five have arrived since the 1st of November. With the exception of light cars, all are equipped with straight side tires and rims. Deskers in automobile accessories are stocked with American and English straight side tires, but most of the tires sold in this market are of American origin.
Owing to the great number of light cars, proportionately it is estimated that 70 per cent are equipped with inch厚 tires. There are twelve motor trucks in the colony and all of them are on solid tires.
Tire Market in the Bahamas
of the 130 passenger automobiles in the Bahamas all of which are in Nassau 55 per cent are equipped with inch camber tires and 45 per cent with tires of the straight side cape. A straight side tires in Nassau are American made. No passenger automobiles are imported with metric camber tires. There are twenty motor trucks on the islands 90 per cent of which are equipped with solid tires. With the exception of a very small importation of Michelin tires, all tires are of American manufacture, as are all motor vehicles.
Motor Transport in Bermuda
A majority in the Bermuda House of Assembly has been won over to the plan that will give the colony motor transport service throughout the island. under government control and possibly under private ownership. The plan is to use the lighter style of motor buses, with a capacity of about twenty-four persons, and also freight trucks of about the same weight; no other type of vehicles may be used in this service. The leading horsetransport firm is selling out its entire outfit, which may be taken as an indication that the same firm will be in the running for the new method of transport, and that by the end of 1923 Bermuda will have a controlled motor service.
CIRCULAR TO NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
By V L. M. LANGSTON
The Literat. Club, U N I A. Montreal Division held its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday, February 7. A night school is the latest feature on the programs of these regular meetings, school hours be 9 to 11 o'clock inclusive. The classes now hold are English and French, but any member of the race desirous of obtaining private lessons may interview the clubs secretary and immediate steps will be taken to meet his or her case. Should ten or more persons register for lessons on any given subject or subjects, steps will be immediately taken in securing a teacher and making such other arrangements so as to include such class or classes in the school's courses. Montreal still shows an ugly economic outlook to the members of this club but, believing in God and His justice, they are full of optimism
The introduction of a teacher in the proceedings of the weekly meetings of the club seems to be the first step toward the satisfying of a crying need. It is without doubt that with a population of over 2,000 Negroes in Montreal hardly 2 per cent can claim an educational foundation and hardly 1 per cent can speak French. and yet Montreal, in common with other divisions of the Province of Quebec, is composed chiefly of a French speaking community. The Library Club calls the members grouped together and taught by a colored teacher whom it has sourced to teach English and French—whose laborers are for the most part service of love to race—the Night School Section. We are hoping to see tenacity both in teacher and pupil-hoping not to see opposition if we do not see encouragement and help executives. Thus in the tumult of the present time with award thrusts coming from within and from without with hardy a home or an moral the Literary Club has stepped out to weather the storm with Mr Hugh I Newton engineering the venture in an endeavor to build a foundation upon which he dreams of the realization of its aims will materialise Yes. The infant school—infant in age, mature in experience—of the Literary Club, U N I A Montreal Division is born, and we seem to see the sweet-smelling, duck-like seed carrying the embryo which shall start the attempt at the cultivation of another of its dreams—and that co-operative industrialism Co-operation of Negro force with Negro force which asks for no extra dipping down in the pocket for funds but which asks for searching the brains for solutions, the sinews for execution. Wouldn't it be glorious to see Negroes in the majority in Montreal, and as for that the world over, laying an undisputed claim to unequalled education—to independence?
The Literary Club of the U. N. I. A. Montreal Division, in opening a night school follows the example of the Barbados Division of the U. N. I. A. and we seem to see her also walking in the footsteps of the Enterprise Division to open a concentrative labor force and to strike out in the precedence of the circle exchange and communicative exchange. Brave, James Gibson, and brave, brave, your club! Keep going at it! Though, sweet, labor, persistence must succeed. If these fell there is / something, wrong, either in direction or method.

MARCUS GARVEY
President General
Highly Educated Black Man
Tells How Whites Have
Made Slaves of Natives
Paris, Feb. 6.—A voice from the starving and oppressed millions of the Congo, sponsored by a Paris publisher and crowned with the laurel wreath by the illustrious Goncourt. Act. is awakening tremendous interest in Europe, where it is hinted the author's revelations may provoke a new Congo scandal outdoing even that of the Belgian Congo twenty years ago.
The book is called "Batouala," and the author is a Negro, Rene Maran, born in Martinique and educated in Bordeaux. He is an administrator of the French Congo. His is the first book by a Negro to be awarded a prize for literacy in France.
"Civilization, civilization, pride of Europeans, their excuse for the massacre of innocent!" the Negro author exclaims in one passage.
"You build your kingdoms on corpse. Whatever you do and wherever you go your road is lined with lies.
"In subsequent books I shall tear the soil from these scenes of horror and injustice, he says. "I shall tell how in certain religions unhappy Negroes are obliged to sell their wives at prices varying from 25 to 75 francs apiece. The voices of tortured thousands will speak through me."
The book itself is of high literary merit and has been called one of the most noteworthy achievements of the century. It is the life story of one Bataoula a naked savage, inhabiting Outangul Chart one of the four nations comprising the General Government of French Equatorial Africa.
With almost brutal frankness the author paints the family life and tribal customs of the Congo natives and their fear and batted off the white conquerors.
There is a question of emigration from French to German Congo. Bataoula speaks.
Zaleamane, Frances, they are both white. Why change? We know the Franjes. French and are used to their ways. They amuse themselves with us like cats with mice. The cat always cat the mouse eventually. We must be desourced anyway—what matter by whom?
Bataoula recounts the first appearance of the whites
I was little then. The first whites came bringing maccao, marmites, chickens, dogs and women, and we, who had lived so peacefully and tranquil, moved before their path until we reached Krebedge. There we built our homes anew, replanted our plantations. And when we had finished, the whites came there, and we had to move again.
"From there to Griko, where we thought to breathe easily. Error! The whites installed themselves at Griko.
New flight—this time to Grmart, where we built our homes between the Damba and Pombo. Alas! Our homes were not finished when the first wites arrived, insatiable as ever.
So, then, discouraged, tired, not wishing to see the tribe wiped out—we had lost hundreds of men and women on the perilous march—we remained where we were and submitted to the terrible White. Since then we have been their slaves. Not content with trying to impregnate our customs, they wanted to impose on us their own
NEWS ITEMS OF RIVER ROUGE (MICHIGAN) DIVISION
I. N. I. A. Division Chapter No. 116 were honored with the presence of our State High Commissioner, Honorable W. A. Wallace and Rev. Sutton. Members from our six churches were invited to be present and Rev. Golaby, Pastor of Second Baptist Church, was given a written invitation to address our audience, but we were disappointed in his failure to appear or even letting us be informed, and our anticipations were highled. However, we had a provided hall and after a few preliminary remarks by president Ware and vice-president Daniel, the table was set and Rev Sutton administered Universal Negro Improvement Association food to the eager and hungry souls awaiting, and when he concluded everything had been cleared away with great applause and the dessert was then in order and by request of president Ware, Rev Young, Pastor of C. M. E. Church introduced Honorable High Commissioner Wallace amid, lasting applause which he accepted most gracefully and launched forth with gestures befitting the occasion and imprinting lasting information to the
congested, but intently interested audience. Before his conclusion, gullars were coming forth for relief from new members were shrilling, and the spirit of military training was evidenced through the eager desire of the many young men who become attached to our legion. Old Beauty, our flag, the Red, the Black and Green, never trails the dust. The occasion was a memorable one.
Well? Our choir entertainment section performed in Detroit last Wednesday night in U. N. L. A. Hall, on Russell Street, and were not favored with a very large house, but nevertheless each member performed as if the house were full, and those who witnessed the performance were well pleased with the entire programme. Mr. Fred Moss and Mr. Elliott Young, and men in bones and tambones, were easily seen to be stars in their respective parts and carried the house by storm.
Mr. V. Smith and Mr. L. H. Garrison were heavily applauded at conclusion of each vocal solo.
Mr. Daniel and Mr. Simmons appeared in violin duet, Master Harold Garrism astounded the audience with his bone breaking contortion acts and received the honor of the night.
The decision was general that Mr. V. M. Williams missed his calling when he denounced his "ministerial garth how ever, he married them." After all, there is no place like home—and pig feet. The ladies chorus was very much in evidence behind the scene.
Mr. Henry and Mr. Simmons were last to reach the hall and then to make their get-away.
Last Thursday night, president Ware empowered Philip Angustia Winhum and Virgil Smith to take charge of the further organization of the legion: having sixteen names enrolled for that body.
Friday night, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Smith, Mr. T. 22 Williams and M. W. Simmons were recipients of the consolation prize in progressive whist, while Mr. and Mrs. Smith secured the honor of first prize.

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS MAJESTY GEORGE V. OF ENGLAND
Bir-As an Egyptian Nationalist who has labored for twenty-five years in the interest of Egyptian Independence, I beg to congratulate your Majesty on the opportune step you are taking to bring about a settlement of a vexed question. Even as in Ireland, there will be no peace in Egypt until the constitution which was wrested from us in 1882 by W. E. Gladstone, is restored to us, and we are permitted to march once more pari passu with the independent nations of the earth.
It should be known to your Majesty that all the civilizations of the earth found their birth in Egypt. That it is not of less interest today to the modern statesman and the archeologist occupied with the beginnings of history than it was in the time that is past. There is no example of a country whose interest has been so continuous and consistent. A country which has played a crucial part at the very crises of every empire from the earliest days to this very moment.
It is Egypt that set the boundary to the conquests of Assyria, bringing decay to that power. It was in Egypt that Alexander set up the memorial of his conquests, and it was there that he chose the chief city of his empire. It was in Egypt that the fight was fought that shattered the decaying Roman Empire. It was to Egypt that Napoleon went after his furious contests in Italy, and it was from Egypt that he returned to seize the chil power in the new French Republic. It was in Egypt that the first blow was given to his omnipotence by Neason. It was when her hold loosened on Egypt that France fell away from her former piece of power among the nation. It was Egypt that gave England the key to the East. It is Egypt that is the key to the East now and Sire, it will be Egypt which shall decide the fate of the British Empire.
At least gratitude for the erudite benefits which the world has received at our hands should impel your Majesty to accord us that elementary justice which is the inallienable right of I free men.
I will point out that we modern Egyptians are not a conquered race. A pretext similar to that used by France to annex Tunis in 1811—that of "restoring order in the Boys' dominions"—was adopted by Lord Granville to curtail the liberties of my country. As a consequence of this together with the abuse of Turkey, which began under W. E. Gladstone and the subsequent apollocation of Turkey by the several European powers with the connivance of England, the prestige of Great Britain in the East has been on the wane; and whereas the word of an Englishman was accepted without question on those far-off days when the famed integrity of the Englishman was the only passport he required to travel in safety through the lands of the most turbulent Eastern tribes, today the Englishman is regarded with suspicion, and the name of England is so greatly desplained in the Moslem East, that the security of the Englishman's person can only be assured by his temporarily assuming the nationality of some other European.
Your Majesty should be aware that the policy not only of Sir Edward Gray (Lord Gray), but also that of your present Minister for Foreign Affairs in connection with Turkey, has helped to stir the Moslem world to its foundations, and is responsible for the present unrest in India. It is therefore to be hoped that you, Sirre, who were responsible for the liberation of Arab Pasha from his incarceration in Ceylon, and for his restoration to the bosom of his family, will on this occasion, use such force as is permitted to you by the British constitution, to right a wrong in Egypt, which I am sure your Majesty will admit, is forty years overdue.
Unrest in the Moslim East means war in the East, and war in the East inevitably means a recurrence of the confarriage in the West.
I believe, and I think my follow
countrymen are of the same belief, that
the matter of the independence of
Egypt may be left in your Majesty's
generous hands, and it is to be hoped
that you. Sire, will not be influenced
by the untenable representations of a
reactionary Minister for Foreign Affairs.
I have the honor to be.
Your Majesty's obedient servant.

WEEKLY SERMON
By Q. EMONEL CARTER
Text: St. Matthew, 8th chap., 8th verse, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
Subject: "Seeing God."
Most people think of this passage of
Science in relation to the future happi-
ness. They firmly believe that the
hearts of men are only purified in some
wild way at death, and then they see
God. This is a mi-taken idea, a more
division and fa-ten. Go on, the right
conception of the Great Master who
was teaching the multitudes of His
time. Christ wanted us to have pure
mindless, noble aspirations and enlarged
visions in our every day lives. In
lines that if he would bring ourselves
under instruction we would have our
will. I will add subtilize to that of His
father, and our lives would radiate
His more daily day. In this condition
we would see God every day and thre-
ey imagine the peculiar pleasures (which
means of us may never enjoy) of seeing
the world when dead.
1. Taking God in Matter.
If you the privilege of seeing Him each day at your work in your and in your recreation. For God he has been most beautifully displayed in nature, history, literature and spirit. Who would gainay the knowledge of beholding Him in the regalized sunsets, the mellow glory of a changing moon the mad rushing and dashing of a mighty stream, hastening to the expansive bosom of the ocean the whirling and sighings of a pent brace, seeking expression through the leaves of wonder majestic plumes or some huge towering oak or even the contrasted glory of His seasons functioning for His man, mounded to look for Him, in your nature. Be Him as the Great Whole and yourself as a very vital part of that Whole, this will cause your nature to be responsive to His good and those whom you contact will realise God in you.
II In History
The affairs of nations are but the smallest care of God operating through men. The God is disclosed in proportion to the vision of the individual. If he is blinded to self and the cares of his little life, then there is very little God or good that he sees. If he his mind and eyes opened to the enchantment of a laudable cause and the advancement of his fellowmen, he sees God and deserves not in the vale of hate, jealousy and revenge but he him to the mountain of love, trust and commendation. The history of Egypt, Greece and Rome is standing proof of the universality of the deprivation found in the best of us, as well as proof conclusive that when nations forget God or fall to see Him in their affections those nations crumble and fall low then, can nations of oday hope to escape? God must be recognized in our every day life, or we are doomed to a killing hell of sorrow, disappointment worry and inability to adopt ourselves to any condition or circumstances.
III. In Literature
All literature (real) is of God. The flood-gates of the writer's soul were uplifted and one mighty rush of Gods thoughts became his thoughts, and the world sang his praises, because of the great truth: the poem, book or thesis contained. Who is real and hast not found God in literature? It it be who has not read with understanding.
1V. Seeing God in Spirit
God is spirit, not a spirit, and we who would understand and discover Him in the fulness of His power and grandeur must worship Him in spirit. This does not call for a place of worship, but rather the ability to find Him in yourself and those you contact. See Him in everything and worship His Goodness. It is the ability to answer the injunction of Socrates, "Know thy self." It is the realization of the second injunction by Aurelius, "Control thy self; and it is the certainty of finding and applying the climax of the three injunctions given by the great Teacher, the Christ being the author of the third, Deny thyself.
In the revelation of God we are in vulnerable. The many trials of the day, the petty annoyances, the bickerings and disappointments will give way to the fulness of His presence found in you.
Seeing God' Yes, you will see Him in every minute walk of life if you are determined. You will disclose Him in every life however lowly if you are reflecting your Christ. You will see Him in every dark and daintal vale and sing with meaning. 'There is a town called Don't You Worry. On the banks of the River Smile, Where the never-growing weary Blossom sweetly all the while
DOUBLE-HEADED BAPTIST MEETINGS
The convening of these two bodies in the same city in the same year is the first time in the history of Baptist gatherings that two national organizations have selected the same city to meet in within loss than six months. Nashville, received the news joyously and the religious forces really began work on Thursday morning to make preparations for the entertainment of these two organizations. A committee of 109 whose membership is to be selected from the various churches is to be named, and the same committee, so it is gold, will serve as a general arrangement committee to prepare the entertainment for the two gatherings.
The Sunday School School represents a membership in Sunday so colloquial forces of 1,000,000, while the National Baptist Convention boasts of a constitution of 1,000,000, so it is said, and the combined national gatherings will bring into the city the largest contingent of religious workers that any one denomination has brought to any city in the United States within one year.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922
"AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND"
"AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND"
Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa—All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More
The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa.

Seattle (Wash.) Division No. 50, U. N. L. A and A C. L. celebrated Thanksgiving at Liberty Hall with a special dinner to the members and the unemployed, streams of people coming and going all day. In the evening a splendid program was rendered, after which dancing was in evidence until midnight. One of the novelties of the evening's entertainment was the speech of the Hon Marus Garvey on his return from the West Indies and Central America on our graphophone. The great crowd rocked the hall with an aplause when they heard their chief-tain's voice
The choir gave a noisy entertainment December 15 which jacked the house and was the means of bringing many visitors to Liberty Hall who have never been there before. Xmas was looked forward to with great anticipation, for it was Liberty Hall's first Xmas. The Decorating Committee, headed by the lady president Mrs Jannie Ellis, and Emma Crawford Maud Wallace Mrs Gen Wise and Dr Mary Buroch decorated the hall to the Queen's taste.
The Xmas tree gladdened the hearts of the juveniles and their little friends who were remembered and made happy Rt. Hon. Capt. E. L. Gaines. M. of L. was with us during the holidays and spoke to a crowded house four nights, holding his audience spellbound with his matchless oratory. And many came forward and joined. The captain was the recipient of a beautiful nock scair, given by the Black Cross Nurses.
Watch meeting was celebrated with all the community of the occasion. The president, James A. Hassell, baked a mammoth fruit cake and donated it to the division, and after the stroke of 13 all of the division and friends ate to the health of the president and

FRENCH SENATOR DOES NOT DESIRE FRANCE TO CEDE ANTILLES TO U. S
FRENCH SENATOR DOES NOT DESIRE FRANCE TO CEDE ANTILLES TO U. S
PARIS Feb 6—The United States is seeking to have France turn over the Antilles and other possessions in return for an ensement in the payments of the war debts, asserts Henry Lomery, a colored Senator from Martinique in a virulent article in Ectaire.
Let the Americans understand once and for all—the French Antilles can be torn from the mother country only by violence like Alasse-Lorraine was in 1811 but they never will consent to locked voluntarily. They are not for sale.

DR. J. D. GIBSON, SURGEON- GENERAL, ADDRESSES THE JERSEY CITY U. N. I. A.
On last Sunday February our our beloved Burger to treat the Hon Dr J D. Gibb on written our honour and delivered a message of life. His eloquence is still reigning in our ears. He burgers for dinner the final of which he learns his angst stood it need. We can no longer be bought the entire audience to their feet as he painted with beautiful and pictures of the future of the Negro race.
Greatly, the college of Latitude doesn't be a concise. We state out from "a" to "a" to face the focus of His Fiction the Hon Mariema tax. Yes, with the outside of the vote, and who are more likely open sacrifices of defense? (With like)
Dr. Fansie G. in the Venerable's shop is a brief, "No" useful manner created the path with a secure cat in order to be set up as a man of all life and�ement.
Each and every member of our division has made a few p-l-de to stand by our great order until it is won for the cause of Negro left. We will fill in our leader and fire up God for those who turn training to such a cause for which it Mira is of our race spending and being spent should share the fate of all such race parades. The time has air, ed when Negroes should declare themselves men and not monkeys.
Negroes should begin to come from their present state of charge in a state of universal妥感. We are leath to be contented with the spines as and seemed men with our ranks. We of Jersey City have accepted the doctrine of the L. N. as our guiding thought. Our star of hope is a free and redefined Africa. We are determined to help write liberty across the pages of future history. We accept the terms of the philosopher. He who will be excited must himself. We know nothing else but to roll around the Red Rock and the screen until it floats on the head of four hundred million free Negroes.

Hon. S. A. Haynes, State Commissioner, Speaks on "Man's Higher Self"
The city of Wellington Del was highly honored with the presence of His Excellency the Hon Marcel Gauger, Lady Hortonius Victoria Davis, Lady O'Neill National Organizer and the Hon. N. H. Hortonius Commander for Delaware. Two Lieutenants of the merger were died in the Bethel A M E Church on 30th and 31st respectively in spite of the recent storm which covered the thoroughfares and kept many indoor hundreds of Negro men and women eager to hear the great mastermind of the age and the fearless Lady of Ethiopia wendled their way through the snow to drink at the captain of Liberty and Independence. The result is that aaskon of great leader caused in Wellington to turn out, dotted in with the best suits, believing that the advent remitted of His Lake lake a coming was a fate the last reshape required and was a success.

question in debate when unqualified

kens appeared upon the scene.
A lounging applause went up from the
audience. Scarcely had this subsided
when Her Ladyship the Eight Honor-
able International Organizer accompanied
on the head of the H. Excellent
Nurses and the members of this auxiliary wended in her, with grateful
steps to the platform. A similar applause went up at the time, with holders appeared in their offices of office which dignified the girl.

Then came a beautiful dust by Meadames Mary H. Hare with little known hoes and great foliage climbers of the women of our country and to be hoped the world God sheer New York Times.
Lady Davis Spoahs
the President of the age of 17, George L. Haleen, having the love of Mary, died in the illness of Mary, the regent we are of great love, could her be addressed by Lady Haleen, said in Pat. I give you I am glad to see so many of you out tonight in spite of the weather to listen to the message of this great man the Hon. Marvus Garvey. I was much interested in the statistics read in the paper on The New Negro in Mrs. Travis. Those facts go to show you that given a chance the Negro can surpass any other man in any field to the world. The New Negro has come upon the scene and under the mutiny ship of Marvus Garvey, he is determined to have liberty, to have freedom and to redeem the mother of Africa.
Lady Davis spoke for a minute and electrified her heart with her wonderful elegance. Her wife was rich and several times, she had to stop owing to the applause she had of almost every sentence. Her address inspired and contributed the heats of all present to much the minister who was once skeptical of the movement told one of the officers at the close of the meeting that Lady Davis is not only a wonderful elocutionist but she is a perfect angel.
The State Commissioner Speaks
The Hon B A Haynes, an unassuming and polished young man was next introduced by the President as the State Commissioner for Delaware and Executive Secretary of the Wilmington Division.
The Hon. Commissioner spoke briefly on the subject of "Man's Higher Self." He said, in part: "Individuals, as well as races, have

had demonstrated to the world that the higher self of man was awakened to the sense of duty. The I N I A is calling upon Negroes to join them to their sense of duty and pave their way to recognition by a direct attainment of their self. The yearly means for the I N I A history of death but we shall not die, we shall win a glorious victory because truth and justice stand the test of time. No falsehoods can storm the recitations of time and no inhumanity can outweigh the justice of God. Time and God will finally settle all problems in harmony with the fundamental principles that control the universe. Our young Commissioner made a strong impression on his hearers and we feel his sojourn here will be beneficial to the association as a whole.
Hon Marcel Carvery speaks.
The speaker of the evening, the Hon Marcel Carvery was introduced by the Hei Dr C W Stewart B.S. of the A M L. Church Dr Stewart is a recent convert and his introduction was sung with enthusiasm.
All eyes turned towards him as the great time leader came forward to speak.
For fully one hour the audience listened attentively to the starting message of His Excellency Speaking with the light of determination on his study count since rising to the high heights of oratory during at one time in philosophy another time in psychology thundering forth in no one certain terms the program of the U N A he captivated the most skeptic. As he spoke tears traced down the cheeks of the old women, yes, the very minister who opposed his program, applauded it in his presence.
Marco Carney has a time when he held the hearts of men asunder with the hope of coming and higher in militaryraft. He spoke not as a man facing the opposition of nations and governments but as a man who like the Church has been crucified by those he might save but Marcus Carey spoke as the conquerable man from the heart of his heart. He that is able to convince will convert. This is what the great race leader did in the course of his attiring address. We can only give a picture of his discourse for the reason already stated and I myself will be enlisted and carried by the magic spell of the man that I, just sat down and drank at the mountain. His Excellency, appointed for it pointed out the importance of organization among the negro peoples of the world. Loud applause rudged the air as he dressed his pliers for unity and race love.
U N I A Loan System Introduced
At the close of the public meeting
the President general introduced the
New Loan System to the President and

After a thorough explanation, several
members responded to the appeal.

Tuesday, January 31
Teresa who attended the meeting night carried the gilded titles of the inspiration they had gained from the great leaders messages last night to their creations and friends. This was evident in an unremarkable attendance on the last night. The church was filled at an hour, both man and woman, to scate in the gallery. The literary and musical program pointed that of the previous night. After the singing of the opening ode, the Rev T W Bond D D of the M E Church delivered a soul stirring and earnest prayer, asking the Masters blessing and guidance upon the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his associates in a very dramatic manner. The President Mr Rousseille, confined his remarks to the absence of Judge Daniel O Hastings who consented to Introduce His Excellency on this occasion. It was well that the judge was absent as Mr Rousseille said some things that he would have to account for and account for well, in the presence of the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Mrs. Ida Anderson kept the audience laughing from start to finish with her rendition of a recitation entitled, "Is It Anybody a Business." She was loudly applauded. The excellent performance of "The Famous Diamond State Quartet" was one of the sensations of the evenings. They responded to two encore. The quartet possesses one of the richest base singers in the East. His is a voice that's worth thousands of dollars and the commissioner has received his promise to entertain the delegates at the coming convention.
Lady Davis Speake
There went up as Lady Davis came forward to speak. Taking up the theme of Mrs. Anderson's, "Is it Anybody's business," she asked was it Anybody's business that the new Negro has turned his steps towards the homeland Africa? Was it anybody's business that Maracus Garvey is determined to organize the 400 million Negroes of

Marquia Garvey Speake
The speaker of the evening was introduced by the Rev. T. U. King, B. S., of the M. E. Church. Rev. King and others were roped into the association through the influence of President Rousseau. After acknowledging that it was an honor bestowed upon him, he introduced the speaker as Bonefactor, Statesman, Organizer, Leader and Prophet.
The Hon Marcus Garvey spoke on the subject of 'Going Forward'. Because it was his last night he handed his subject without gloves. He spoke of industry and commerce, of politics and religion, and of sociology. The great master-mind confounded the big Negro preachers sitting behind him when he said that since a Negro was created in the image of God. God is a Negro. He drew many pictures to convince the audience of the backward state of the race, and beautifully applied the parable of the five talents to the Negro and the white man. The U N I A. he said was a radical movement because its aims and objects are fearless. He appealed to all to take on new courage and prepare for the coming conflict the fight for a free and independent African Republic.
Presentation to Lady President
At the close of his address His Excellency presented a banner from the Black Cross Nurses to Mrs. Nora Wynn, Lady President in appreciation of valuable services rendered to the Wilmington Division.
The meeting came to a close at 11 P M. The President and Lady President, the Ways and Means Committee, with Mr. William Hurst as Chairman, and Mr. Affe Jones, secretary, the captain of the Legions and head of the Black Cross Nurses, deserve special mention in the uniting efforts they put forth to make the stay of the distinguished visitors a pleasant and successful one. We also thank Roy Dr. C. W Stewart for placing the church at our disposal!
Wilmington Division is planning to have Lady Davis back with them at some future date, as well as His Excellency, J. W H Eason, American leader.

The evening of January 29 was an enlightening one to the members of New Waterford Chapter No. 24 of the U N I A & A C L.

HEARTS OF PEOPLE OF EAST LIBERTY DIVISION, PITTSBURGH, PA., WON BY THE HIGH COMMISSIONER, THE HON. W. O. SLIYERS
On January 27 a happy and expectant crowd awaited the moment when Hon. W. O. Styrs, - sent both in his official capacity and as our guest, would speak.
Hon. G. A. Weston was master of ceremonies.
"From Greenland a Icy Mountains was sung as the opening ode, followed by the repeating of the motto and prayer in unison.
Mrs. Bailey, Misses E. Finney, M. Bethel and L. Wilson rendered an exceptionally fine musical program which Hon Smyres praised highly saying the music had carried his soul beyond the very gales of Paradise
An address the subject of which was "is the U N J A a Christian Organization?" was delivered by Mrs. Bertha J Finney. To prove that it was the speaker referred to the organization motto its objects and aim and many biblical passages. Hon Simers was pleased and many people who were present said they saw the organization in a new light as a result of this address. The speaker also prefaced her address with a few remarks about the organizing of East Liberty Division in September, 1920, and compared it to a ship at sea saying it had encountered many storms that in the early summer of 1921, when the ship was being tempest tossed, ther and thither there appeared on the scene the pilot Res. J J Cranaton a master mind. We, the members of East Liberty Division owe this man a debt of gratitude we can never repay for he was whole-hearted, interested in the masses and courteous at all times.
We welcome our high commissioner for we feel and hope we shall be further strengthened. Hon W O Smyers, the speaker of the evening moved his audience to deep thought and vociferous applause. His eloquence and charm of manner was wonderful and forceful as he touched upon the ethnology, psychology and philosophy of mankind
He said he wanted to get us to think in order that we might plead our own cause and find out what God requires of us as men. Hon Smyrna paused often in his brilliant discourse to give facts and little heart-to-heart talks, saying that we, as a race, are naturally spiritual and psychic, but we must make our spirituality practical. We must have faith at all times, and particularly in the midst of opposition, always remembering that God is always present to help. Therefore, faith in God plus faith in self means success, and also faithful service to man to the support of all good causes and to God. Refreshments were served by the U N I A Dramatic Club of L at Liberty Division under the supervision of Mrs. M Balley, first lady vice-president. Though small in stature she is a large-souled woman and a tenacious adherent of the U N I A
We are still praying for the worldwide success of the L N I A and that East Liberty may ever do her duty. BERTHA J FINMAY

To the Editor of the Negro World
Dear Sir--We permit me space in
the Negro World for publication
of the following article.
The present year 1937 has brought a new spirit to Negroes of Charleston. The spirit of infertility. In every direction the lifeure is filled with this mishap. Despite one effort being waged against it, a variety of work and trade. Negroes are sectioned into the I N L A N for the millions of Africa. The calculation of the I N L A on Emigration (Jay) was an great, though simple, that it caused somebody to take on themselves and stop their various criticisms. Some of the fine critics are now speaking of the grace and truthfulness of Mr. Jones and the I N L A. They have realized the fact that the salvation of the Negro lives in the redemption of Africa. Still there are shocking and falling but Negroes everywhere are determined that the fight for the redemption of Africa will not cease until the Red Black and Green are planted on the hills of Africa.

HON. J. D. GEBSON AND
HON. R. L. POSTON TAKE
ATLANTIC CITY BY STORM
The largest crowds that ever attended the mass meetings of the Atlantic City Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association since the first visit of His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Hon. J. W H. Eason, Amari-an leader at Union Temple Baptist Church, were seen Feb. 1, 2 and 3 at St James A. M. E. Church, Odd Fellows Hall and Lapcoma Hall. The principal speakers were the Hon. J D. Gibson. Surgeon General, and he Hon. Robert L. Poston, Assistant Secretary General. Professor Buck also made some inspiring addresses at these meetings. It would require too much space to detail the speeches delivered each evening by Dr Gibson and Mr Poston.
Dr Gibson kept his audience in an uproar of laughter and applause. He said that Negroes must cease thinking about dying all the time and think about living. To hear the doctor tell it, all the Negro undertakers will soon have to go out of business. Mr Poston's addresses were convincing. He was applauded throughout as he drove home his arguments, point after point. It was widely advertised that the Hon Captain Gaines, Minister of Legions and Hon G E. Stewart would be the principal speakers at these meetings, but the inability of these gentlemen to be present did not disappoint the crowds, for the numbers increased every night, and Dr Gibson and Mr Poston swept them off their feet with their sequence.
Friday night was a banner night. Lipomba Hall was crowded to the doors and seats were not available. The members living nearby were almost forced to unfurnish their houses, but succeeded in borrowing a number of chains from another hall nearby. Still there were many who were forced to stand Mr. Poston was asked to speak on the Black Star Line. He told of the trials the company had gone through from the time it was organized up to the present and the plots of the traitors to keep Mr. Garvey out of this country. The crowds cheered wildly when he told how Mr Garvey slipped into New York just in time to save the situation "We have nothing to hide." said Mr. Poston. This gave members and friends greater confidence.

The campaign for the year 1922 was opened here with three mass meetings at Butler Hall on the 23d and 24th, and at Eisenbeer Baptist Church on the 25th ultimo.
We are glad to state that the spirit of enthusiasm customary on such occasions was keenly displayed by officers, members, and friends of the association. The principal speakers were His Excellency the American Leader, Dr. J. W. H. Eason, and the Honorable Fred A. Toote, secretary-general Dr. Eason, on being introduced by the president, Mr. J. P. Williams, spoke in an interesting and pictureque manner on the objects and aims of the U N I. A., and although not in the best of health at the time, he succeeded admirably in giving the audience a rare treat, inspiring then to press forward to the realization of their hopes for African redemption. The Honorable Fred A. Toote did not arrive in time for the opening meeting on the $2d, but spoke in a clear, logical, and impressive manner on the $2d and $3d. With choice diction he outlined the embarrassing conditions under which the Negro labors at the present day and proved conclusively that the Negro has got to awake from his lethargy, in defense, and despondency, and demonstrate to the world the irresistible force of freedom.' This latter phrase he used as the title of his subject on the $25d. The secretary-general in conclusion made a stirring appeal for new members and gave an invitation to subside for shares in the Negro Factories Corporation. These three meetings were well attended, and singularly demonstrated the loyalty of the majority of our wide awake Negro to the cause of the U N I. A. The band rendered suitable and charming music on each occasion under the capable direction of Mr. H Simmons. The choir also rendered some choice selecta and contributed greatly to the success of the meetings. We heartily thank all those who rendered the services to this most noble cause.

in the leadership of Mr. Garvey, and in their eyes could be seen the determination to stick by the Jamaica wizard and put the program over.
Dr Gibson spoke on the redemption of Africa. He had promised to "shake the earth," but the time was short. In concluding his address he said: "The old saying everybody has a flag but the coon is over. The Negro has a flag, and the colors re. red, black and green. Ride on, Garvey, until lynching and Jimcrowism are abolished. Ride on, Garvey, ride on, until 400,000,000 Negroes are redeemed and the Red, the Black and the Green is planted on the hillside of Africa." There was continued cheering after the doctor had taken his seat, which forced him to rise many times in acknowledgment. At the end of the three meetings nearly 610 new members were added to the fold. We congratulate Dr. Gibson and Mr. Ston as the first to make such a record in Atlantic City.
Respectfully yours.

Ge. the Negro World:
Dear Editor—Kindly allow me a small space in your wonderful paper. As a member of the U. N. L. A. I feel proud. Also I feel we have the most unreliable leader in the person of His Excellency Marous "Mozer" Garvey, in the whole world. I oftimes wonder, How did he get so many Negroes to wake up to racial consciousness to the uplift of the race. It seems almost a dream, as we have numbered so long and some still sleep. He observes all the honor he gets, and more besides. His method of bringing us together is the only way. We are trying to redeem Africa here in Denver, which is a very hard field. The majority seem to belong to the Rip Van Winkle class.
for a big share of praise. She has no equal. Her whole heart and soul are centrated in the U. N. I. A.; she has exercised much.
During the recent campaigning of Dr. Exon and Dr. Grandison; we were strengthened by their eloquent addresses, both the serious and humorous, and especially Dr. Grandison's "Samba."
Hoping at some early future date we will have the pleasure of hearing our President General Marcus "Moses" Garvey, and also hoping that God will answer this prayer
A Prayer
Oh, God! in Thy omnipotence.

WILMINGTON DIVISION WEL COMES THE HON. S. A. HAYNES, STATE COMMISSIONER
After the two big mass meetings on the 30 and 11st inst., the officers and members of the Wilmington Division No. 82 flocked to the True Reformer Hall or "be 1st inst., to welcome the Hon. S. A. Haynes, State Commissioner for Delaware. The meeting was called to order at 8 p.m. with the singing of the opening ode. After the transaction of business the President, Mr. Maurice Roselle, introduced the State Commissioner, who he said would also be our Executive Secretary. Credentials from the Hon. Marcus Gervery were read to this effect after which it was moved and seconded that we receive the State Commissioner and Executive Secretary, the gathering standing.
The Commissioner then greeted his hearse. He outlined his program for the six months ending July 31, and said that it must be put over; it is this putting over until tomorrow what we can do today that has kept us back for hundreds of years. My motto is, "Do It Now."
"I come to you to make your division the best in the world. Of use 8,000 or 10,000 Negroes in this city, 1,000 must be members before the sitting of the convention. I am determined that the colors of the Red, Black and Green shall float in every nook and corner in Delaware where Negroes are to be found. As your Commissioner, I am authorised to look after your interests and I have come to Delaware to work assistively for better conditions among Negroes. I ask for your co-operation in this great work."
"The program of the U. N. I. A. is a gigantic undertaking. It is a serious proposition. The work doesn't rest with the paying of due, concerts and demonstrations; the greater and higher work is The Redemption of Africa." We are but early pioneers in this great cause and therefore it means work, work, work, till your eyes are heavy and dim—work, work, till you the winner win. We want no slackers; now we want real work positions we cannot afford to waste any more time; to catch the other fellow who shall jump we have got to work and work hard; in short we have got to make a sacrifice.
"The Lord Mayor of Cork, McSweyne, starved himself to death for a few million Irish men and women, for an Irish Friar State for a cause, a principle. How many McSweynes were weihnung among the Negroes? McSweynes. Seah made an Irish Friar State. A living fact. It is only you to make the great 'African Republic of Living Father.'
explained and a stirring appeal made for its support. The payment of dues and the annual assessment tax, the purchase of "The Negro World," contributions to the "African Redemption Fund," and the purchase of shares in the Black Star were all stressed by the Commissioner.
Mr. Haynes is a worthy successor of Dr. Riley, who served as faithfully during his stay here, and we measured the character of our Commissioner when in his opening remarks he alluded to the ability of Dr. Riley and the good work he has already done for the Association.
"It is my duty," said Mr. Haynes, "to build upon the strong foundation laid by my honored co-worker. Dr. Riley, whose ability as a representative of this great movement is unquestionable."
Our Honorable Commissioner assisted by our worthy President, is making preparations to tour the State shortly, and we hope to give him an office soon. REPORTER
CONSUELO, SANTO DOMINGO DIVISION, WEL-COMES HON. DE BOURG
His Emergency Honorable De Bourg paid a visit on Sunday Nov 20 The Compound Branch in Maize town greeted him. In the hall every seat was packed also the windows and door. After courting and being received on the stage he was introduced by the First President to the officers and Fed. Nurse who were then on the stage with a greeting and shaking of hand. The meeting was then opened at 10 a.m. in singing and prayer after which the First President read a paper telling us of the distinguished stranger in our institution De Bourg) Hymn and we then sang from the Sankee which was well rendered in all. The floor was then given to His Emergency Honorable De Bourg
H.I. A Excellency's Speech
After greeting the audience, he said, I am glad to be in the midst of you this afternoon. While I was in the city of Santo Domingo I heard of the position of this part of the division, whose activity might be stopped at any moment. So I came up I lined up to Consuelo and received permission from the Administrator.
"With regards to the feelings of races, we have no attention to pay to white men and their doings. Our attention is centered upon the black man."
He showed the danger of those who call themselves white, while they are black. Just because that big black man has a good position in life and for the present all seems well with him, he endeavors to get away from the race "The destiny of the Negro is in his own hands" (Cheers)
Most of his discourse was then based on unity. He referred to the old man and his sons with the bundle of sticks showing then, that united we shall stand, but divided we shall fall
"And what is good for the white man is good for the black. If ham and bacon are good for white folks, it is also good for black folks." In his examples he spoke of Commodore Vanderbilt's success in ships—because he had a good mind behind it. And when he died he left $0,000,000. He said that we cannot trust each other. We are mistrustful, and that is one of the greatest things that hampered the race of Negroes and still hampering them. It is by your actions that the hands of the clock are turning backward. Therefore, man, know thyself; that is the greatest work. We should all get together and unite for unity is strength. Man is his greatest enemy to man. He showed many instances of race failure, and how we are to act and guard against them. Many white folks are in our favor.
He spoke strongly on education; in reference he said, "If I was a girl I would not lose a boy who could not write his name. All races are respected, even that Chinese, but the Negroes are treated like dogs." He spoke for about 35 or 40 minutes, while we drunk in all that he said, for it was interesting and true. During his speech at the above named place musicians entered the hall with instruments of brass, and at the end of his speech they played the African National Anthem. REPORTER
HON, S. A. HAYNES, STATE COMMISSIONER OF DELAWARE, STIRS COLORED PEOPLE IN CLAYMONT
We the 120 Negroes living in Claymont, Del, desire to place on record our high appreciation of the visit of the Hon. S. A. Haynes, state Commissioner, and Mr. Maurice Roselle, President of the Wilmington Division. Most of us are members of the Wilmington Division, but we meet here every Thursday in our little church and talk Garvey's.
Our Honorable Commissioner expounded in a remarkable manner the principles of the U. N. L. A. He has the gift of an orator and is old in experience but young in age. We listened in him attentively and gathered new inspiration from what he told us. The Commissioner brought us ten copies of "The Negro World," which were all well, and explained to us the new Loan system. Many of us are out of a job now, but as soon as conditions change we will do all we can to assist our Commissioner in his great work.
We are having a meeting next week in Seattle whether we will have a chapter in Chayman or jobs will have a friend in Marseille Hook to open a chartered institution. The Commissioner is anxious that we come to an understanding as early as possible. We in Chayman are planning for the Black Hook and Green. We now members gather beyond the doors of the Commissioners' address. REPORTED. WEEK 14. 1:40.

In the name of justice, we petition the authorities of the Federal Government of the United States of America, whose duty it is to investigate the charges brought against the said Marcus Garvey, to turn a deaf ear to the slanderous propaganda of the dishonest and pernicious conspirators who were damned from this organization because of their infidelity, and to dispose of said charges with fairness in their proceedings.
We are confident that these authorities will protect him against all false charges and insults to the fullest extent of their power.
Further we appeal to all advocates of truth and honesty in the other distinctions of this association to join with us in a stentorian cry for justice and defense of the said Marcus Garvey, and the cause he represents.

REDEMPTION OF AFRICA
Editor Negro World —
Dear Sir—I am glad to see that the subject of "How Africa Can Be Redeemed" is becoming an important topic among the many readers of your valuable paper. In a recent issue of the Negro World I had the pleasure of reading a very fortable treatise on the subject by Mr Percy Bryan, who deserves much credit for his good work in keeping so vital a subject to the fore. The Negro race needs fortable reminders to produce action among its members, and I believe these reminders of importance if given prominence will tend to create worldwide interest among the race. Discussion on various phases of the subject should be invited, Mr. Editor, until Africa and African affairs become uppermost in the minds of every Negro at home and abroad. Such interest will help to speed the good work of the U. N. I. A toward its goal. Thanking you for space, I am, dear sir, yours respectfully,
I. HUNTER.

TOBITT, VISITS BARBADOS, B. W. L, U. N. L A
The Barbados Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was favored with a visit of a fortnight's duration from High Commissioner R. H. Tobit, whose sphere of labor is British Guiana on the continent of South America. The High Commissioner reached Barbados from Bermuda in December and came ashore accompanied by Rev Phillips, lately of San Domingo, but now stationed in Trinidad
During Rev Tobitie's stay he was actively engaged in reaching interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the hearts of many of those who had begun to grow indifferent about the movement. Joint meetings of the Read Street and the Weather Islands were held at which the central figure was the one-time leader of the Eastern provinces of the West Indies. Rev Tobitie was made to feel that he was welcome wherever he went and he did not fall to reproach the sentiments of good will and friendly feeling manifested in every direction. Among the functions staged during his sojourn was an exhibition of arts and handicrafts organized by the Westbury local, which the High Commissioners very readily connected to open and to distribute the prize and offer words of encouragement and congratulation to the respective competitors. Another function was the dinner given to certain poor people in the Read Street section of the town. A at the Empire sports club on January 1. With respect to the affair it must be said that the collector results attained were due promptly, and entitled to the indefatigable and determined efforts of certain officers and members. No amount of praise is likely to certain of our people such as Miss Sarah Green. Miss Williams, Miss Maung and Miss Grabe, should be a lesser degree of pride be requested for the magnificent aid of the donors without humiliation, and could not have materialized.
At night members and friends and the general public were invited to the Reed Street hall to a concert. The program consisted of graphophone selections a tablaau entitled 'Ethiopia' comprising seven episodes aimed at illustrating those lofty ideals of the compassionate which have kept long unknown torsors in the city of Nigrore and especially those living in the West Indies.

THE NEGROES UNITING IN BARBADOS, B. W. I
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Dear Sir - Barbados is a place where caste prejudice exists almost comparable to the degree which it has attained in India. Yet, the barriers set up by this enemy to the spirit of friendly intercourse among members of the same race were temporarily removed on Tuesday night, January 3, 1922, when a number of persons drawn from various ranks of life met together at the residence of Mr. John Beckles, forgot their differences, and enjoyed themselves in each other's company. Mr. Beckles concerted the idea that in some respect the visit of Bess R H Tobitt should be an epiphone-making one in the annals of Negro history in Barbados and so he set to work to give a dinner in honor of the distinguished guest which would be such an elaborate affair as to be forever after indelibly impressed on the minds of all who took part, he succeeded admirabl
The staff took place at his residence, Beckles Court, St Lawrence Church. Institutions had been extended to personal friends of the host as well as to individuals interested in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Guests arrived at the appointed time to and Beckles Court transformed into a miniature palace aglow with inlays of various electric lights simulating like fire flares in the calm of the front night. The cense was inviting it literally, exuded welcome. Interchange of courtesies and conversations on various topics preceded introduction and then the assembly was summoned to table to discuss the means of the attempting sands provided and served to a staff of wait-
ers. A liberal supply of appetishing dishes succeeded one the other, each course being named after some Negro prominent in history, current or present.
Winsing is generally the complement to dining, and old Barbados being still (thorough) wet, there was an abundance of liquids to wash down the solids. If in the process of eating, conversation was conducted sotto voce, no such restriction marked the quaming; from the glasses. The host (in calling on ladies and gentlemen to drink the toast of the honored guest, Rev. R. L. Tobitt) gave a neat little speech, which was ably supported by Mr. Martinineau. Then the health of the Hon. Marcuss Garvey was moved by Mr. Harold Witsoh and responded by Mr. E. Edwards. Rev. Tobitt replied to the host, and his remarks were supported by Mr. Washington Harper.
This portion of the ceremony having been completed, preparations were made for dancing; and to the music of the violin and the piano, couples waltzed and two stepped until the early hours of Wednesday morning, when the gathering began to dispense with feeling of gratitude towards the gentleman responsible for introducing a new era in Negro life in Barbados.

GEOLOGIC SOCIETY CALLS KATSENA 'ROME OF TROPICS'
Scientists Give Beautiful Description of Historical and Political Aspects of African Possession
```markdown
```
\ Rome of the tropics, popped by the larnelites of Africa, center of a farming region which supports a population as dense as that of England and caports a surplus of food-stuffs such as Katsena, in northern Nigeria which recently has been frequently mentioned because its emir visited London and also because of surveys of Lake Chad, northeastern limit of the Hausa states" says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the national Geographic Society.
A civilization may be incongruous in contrast to another, and yet not be so primitive as the strangeness of its customs would indicate: the bulletin continues. The Emir of Katsena is reported to have gazed in amazement at an airplane, to have wondered at the parsimony of a rich nation which did not provide servants to waste large fans over their rulers head so he might not be annoyed by flies and to have so heartily approved one northern luxury that he purchased a brass bed to be sent to Katsena for the future royal comfort.
Have Guilds and Crusades
"Yet if he found time to read any English history while in London the Emir must have been interested in a European guild system which persisted in the industrial organization of his own province to the day, and in the Crusades which have their annual counterpart in the Mohammedan exodus from his capital to Mecca a journey of five or so years, during which the pilgrims combine religious objective with adventurous trade activities all along the way.
As a state of India has been swallowed up in the province of Bengal to northern Nigeria due east of Lake Chad and about half way between that marsh bound inland sea and the Niger. As a city it has shaved within its mighty walls, as high as a three-storey building and that ten-mile mile in circuit.
Katsena and becomes the Chicago of its little region of grain cotton and vegetables and luxurious fruits and also of indigenously developed industries that range from cloth making to manufacture of gloves. But Katsena still is the cultural center of the Hausa people, whose tongue is the most melodious of north Africa and so rich in vocabulary that you may find words for eight periods of the day from sunrise until sunset. Hausa is the trade language of the area between the Hume, the Nguni and the Sahara, and it is one of the few African tongues which has developed a native literature.
Hausa Ruled by Fula Chiefs
The Haitian groups for trade and farming and the comparative literary superiority over their migrate neighbors, does not exist in government so that they are ruled to-day by the Fula people who live in country who generally have dominated but not displaced the population by foreign conquerors. The Fula people are allegiance to their host with even a protectorate over Nigeria.
During the Fula age of hostility which began in 1807, Fula lied for seven years that the Fula were free from slaveation main time and lizard and makes amusement, wrote and in the marks, place, after the conquest the Fura did not kill girls and documents who had been brought to the front of the capital Haiti to
The native hairstyle is well known of seven legible ones on the original Hausa family, one of whom had a special duty, the defender the family another, the dressing another to engage in trading and this trader was hattea. Furthermore there were seven illiterate children and these according to the Hausa soon were the founders of certain other tribes or the larger Niger and along the Benue which the Hausa consider greatly feared.
Even the most famous stile which may have been noted by the lord of Hattea on his northern triumph have seemed over dressing, but the use of cosmetics certainly was nothing now to him. For the Hausa maid corrected her native beauty box tiny brushes of bark, flaked at the ends with which she applies blue blush to her eyes. In addition she wears her present ideal of farrow arm to the left that for the Kateena women six strokes and a dot.
akes Time to Say Hello
Salutations often furnish a key to the character of a people, loft the lusurally quality of hatsena life and the value placed on various possessions, are suggested in a greeting
herein one must first ask about health of the strata, about his wives, his horse his cattle and 'all that is yours.' After each reply he interrogator reiterates, 'Allah be praised for that,' before putting the next question.
"What baseball is to America and its 'fight is to Spain the wrestling match' to the Hausa tribes. Perhaps this sundown spectacle might better be compared to a horse show. For the wrestlers must compete for attention with the bizarre and barbaric color splashes represented by turbans and borneous and coiffures of what we would call 'ratted' hair, against a background of statusque camels and palm trees. The 'over tons' of the entire picture is the bronze brown of hundreds of half nude spectators."

MR. J. E. BRUCE HONORED BY PRINCE HALL LODGE
At the first meeting of Prince Hall Lodge No 38 J A A M held on the first Friday in December last in its lodge room in Lafayette Hall, this city, and after an interesting program consisting mainly of addresses by various brethren and high officials of the order, dealing with the events of the passing year then drawing to a close, the worshipful Master Brother Carr called brother John K. Bruce before the Altar stating after Brother Bruce had approached it in due form, that Prince Hall Lodge has always been in the habit of returning a quid pro quo for value received from any of its members who had rendered valuable service to the lodge and it is now about to bestow upon you in recognition of your services to this lodge and the order generally a distinction and an honor reserved for the faithful and loyal members of the fraternity who are an honor to the lodge and to the race. He then directed P W G M Brother Anron F Pollard to approach the altar. Brother Pollard advanced to the altar and facing Brother Bruce delivered a fulsome and felicitous speech in which he said many pretty things concerning Brother Bruce activities as a defender of Negro Masnory and wound up by presenting him in behalf of Prince Hall No 38, a handsomely engraved and framed the certificate of membership in Prince Hall Lodge No. 38. Brother Bruce accepted the gift in a few well chosen remarks and thanked Prince Hall for its generosity in remembering him in such fashion.
ACCIDENT, DEATH, BURIAL AND SERMON OF THE LATE REGIONAL A. COLEMAN
Johanna Oriente Cuba L N I A
Jan 14 1922 - On Thursday, December
29, 1921 deceased dropped from a
height of 35 feet where he was working
on a tank at 1:35 P M. He was
taken to the hospital where he was
treated by the doctor who tried his
heat but could not be recovered. He
passed away on Monday January 2,
1922 at 5 P M.
Burial - The deceased was buried at 10:20 P M on Tuesday. The body had to go under post mortem examination when the judge arrived from Los Tunas with the 7:35 P M train, where he held the post mortem examination at 9:20 P M. The body was taken to Liberty Hall with more than 300 people both members and friends. The procession was a grand one from the hospital to Liberty Hall. The Black Cross Nurses were in front followed the hear then the officers members and friends. We reached the Hall at 9:40 P M. A hand of music met the coffin at the door with the Vice President, who read the burial sermon matched in front to the platform. Here the coffin was placed with the three colors over it Red, Black and Green. The sermon could not be given, since it was late. He was President, Sir Frank A. Travers and over the body. At 10 P M, the bond of music struck -God Be With You Till We Meet Again. We matched out in the same way in which we covered the Hall on to the cemetery. We were bed at 10:20 P M. Though it was in the still of night here we laid the body of Brother Coleman like a warrior taking his rest. We left the spot at 10 P M.
Memorial Sermon. Since I was late and all guests were not present we then proposed for a sermon to be preached on Sunday the 4th of January by Sir I. A Franklin. On Sunday the sermon was given at 5:00 P.M. His text was—Blessed are they who die in the Lord. This sermon was delivered in a metterly manner, which last years to mar. He showed where the deceased was an energetic worker for the Division.
The late R. A Coleman was born in Clarendon Jamaica. He travelled to this country in 1920 to his father Thomas A Coleman. Brother Coleman was a loyal and faithful worker of the Division.
On his deathbed he was conscious. His last address he gave us was on the 25th of December at the unveiling of our Quarter. He turned his eyes toward it and said, "May God prolong my days that I may serve my Government all right." But God knew best he did not live many days, but yet he died fighting for Africa. The deceased brother has left to mourn his death his father and mem-

ADJUSTING BELGIUM'S WAR DEBT
By DR. JOE T. THOMAS,
Delegate to the National Foreign Trade
Convention, Cleveland, Ohio.
Spokesman on the disposition of the
German-African colonies before the
Foreign Relations Committee or the
66th U. B. Congress.
President of the National Association
for the Promotion of the Negro and
the Kameruns.
Member of the Exemption Board Jefferson
County, Alabama, during the World War.
Spanish-American War veteran.
Delegate from the 9th Congressional
District of Alabama to the Bull
Moose Convention in Chicago and
spokesman for the delegation.
In adjusting Belgium's war debt to
the U. B. A. her inability to pay you
should make her colonies stand good
for the debt, for she has the Congo
State with over 900,000 square miles of
territory and 40,000,000 naked natives.
She annexed this territory in 1808.
Henry M. Stanley, first Governor-General and organizer of the Congo State, turned the state over to the Berlin Congress (composed of the U S. and the principal European powers), so that they might devise a plan to develop this state into a modern, up-to-date Negro country in Africa (under the protection of these allied countries). They selected Leopold, King of the Belgians, as their sovereign. A constitution was provided and a new nation launched. The state was admitted to the postal union, courts and schools were established, and communication opened on the Congo River for 3,000 miles. A blue flag, centered with one star, waved over her, and Stanley's dream seemed to be coming true, under the guidance of the powers of the world. Leopold found copper in her hills and mountains and induced Americans to invest heavily, and the investments brought good return. He also found 400,000 miles of rubber trees, gold, silver, diamonds, and millions of gallons of palm oil running into the sea, that was easily collected. These valuable wealth-producing agencies made Leopold violates an international trust. He proved a cruel monarch who scrapped the powers in the face, scrapped the Berlin pact, annexed the Congo State to Belgium made the Congoese hostile to Christianity, and set their Christian development back one hundred years.
U. B. A. Should Take Over the Congo State
Belgium should trade the Congo State to the United States as payment of her war debt, because she is unable to develop the country and educate the natives as outlined by the Berlin Congress in 1856. The allies owe us $11.00,000,000,000, which will bring us $500-000,000 interest a year England, France and probably Russia, be able to pay interest and principal on their war debt, but poverty-stricken Belgium will be unable to pay even the interest to Uncle Sam. We should cancel Belgium's war debt and pay her $200,000,000 in French war notes and take over the Congo State. This would give Belgium an income to help rebuild her war-torn cities.
The fact that the U. S. was a party to the pact that set up the Congo State and made Leopold its sovereign, and knowing directly that Belgium is unable to develop the State, to further allow her to keep this trust will violate our national honor, for it will retard the moral and spiritual development of the natives for many years. She spent less than $200,000 on the education of 40,000,000 natives in 1918.
The U. S. should liquidate Belgium's war debt and protect our national honor and out carry the agreement of the Berlin past of which we were one of the high con acting powers. The Congo State under the U. S. will make our commerce independent of Europe and when there is a panic in Europe it will not wreck American commerce, for we will have built an African market, a Chinese market, and a South American market for American goods, so we will be independent of Europe and will keep our mills, mines factories and forms running. We will have to use

many ships to carry our goods to these African colonies, and if was should come, we will have coal and supplies in our own African ports. In the building of foreign trade we must control our cable lines, and the cable stations must be on the American territory and in the hands of American citizens, to safeguard our trade secrets. Now we have no coaling or cable stations in Africa, while our rivals—England, France, Spain, Portugal and Italy—have coaling and cable stations and free African ports to take advantage of for their merchants, and this has stimulated the building of strong fleets of merchant ships, making it easy for their merchants to capture trade in Africa.
$1,000,000,000 in Conge Trade
Our country is the best government to develop the Congo State, for we are rich and strong and will civilize the natives. The sons and daughters of true Americans that went to the Southland to educate the Negro just after slavery will take up the constructive work of civilizing and Christianizing the natives in the Congo State, for he will be easy to civilize, and with civilization instilled into his being, he will gather the natural products of the Congo State and spend $25 a year for American goods and open $1,000,000,000 in trade with our merchants a year. The Congo State needs the strong arm of Uncle Sam to guide and direct her in the right path of self-development, and with the colored American the educational work can be developed to a high state of perfection. Industrial education so well developed by the late Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., could be set up in the Congo and the native children taught trades and farming. The mining section of South Africa should be supplied with the farm products and a great source of revenue derived on the African Continent
The Congo State Will Be a Foreign Booster
Besides making $1,000,000,000 a year out of the Congo State, American churches and schools can spread the gospel of intelligence, build up home and family lea, put prohibition in the Congo State and make 40,000,000 natives sober, happy and prosperous America owes Africa a debt of gratitude, and by taking over the Congo State she will begin to pay that debt by civilizing her natives and using American Negro officers and soldiers to police the territory. The Congo State will stimulate the erection of cotton mills in America to manufacture goods to meet the wants of this foreign trade. With Muscle Shoals manufacturing fortillier at a low cost, cotton production will be stimulated ar' many cotton mills erected here to manufacture goods to meet the wants of these Congolese.
This vast undeveloped country of 40,000,000 blacks offers an unlimited field for our manufacturers and merchants and will stimulate the building of a powerful fleet of merchant ships so we can capture the foreign trade of the world. With the Big Four pact, we will have ten years war truce, and with the Congo State under Old Glory we will take our right place and lead the world in foreign trade, for we will have free ports and coaling stations for our merchants in this vast undeveloped country with its 200,000,000 blacks that we will teach to wear clothes, shoes and hats.
The Congo under the United States will block Bolsahovism and Mohammedanism in West Africa. If we liquidate Belgium's debt and take over the Congo, American missionaries can enter Africa and help civilize the natives, for now great restrictions are put on American missionaries entering Africa Liberia being the only entrance to Africa not restricted. The Congo Christian will be a powerful force against Mohammedanism and Bolsahovism, and under the guiding hand of the United States he might save the world for Christianity.
Ten years' truce will give the angry horde of Bolshevist time to organize India, China and Turkey into a powerful fighting machine. Russia and other Bolshevist countries uniting with India, Egypt and other non-Christian countries will become powerful contending foes for our present civilization and Christianity. These cults have sent their missionaries to Africa and Mohammadan priests live

all over Africa and pardon their religion. If we liquidate Belgium's was debt by taking the Congo State, with our schools, churches, marshalled by American common sense and judgment, beached by the best government under which man ever lived, we will win Africa over to Christianity. Then when the angry hordes of Europe and Asia mobilize their forces to destroy our schools, churches and civilization, the Christian sons of the Congo, trained by Uncle Sam, will hold them back.
We should not cancel the other allied war debt while one American is illiterate. We should use the interest in building and maintaining Federal schools to educate the future citizens of our country and blot our illiteracy wherever Old Glory flies. For I know our flag stands for the education of all of its people. Federal education maintained this way will not be a drain on our Federal treasury and it will benefit the immigrants coming from all Europe, and finally peace will come through universal education maintained by 'to interest on this allied debt.'
No Back-to-Africa Sahara
But the one great opening into Africa for the Marcus Garvey movement, for with our system of local self-government competent Negroes from all over the world could go to the Congo State under the direction of Honorable Marcus Garvey and take charge of the courts, business and politics of these 40,000,000 Africans. With 400,000,000 Negroes of the world working under the Red, Black and Green it would not be many years before we will rule Africa and become men respected, because the Negro will have a country, an army, a navy and a flag.
This is No Back-to-Africa Scheme
The American Negro will not leave
the U. S. in any great numbers, for no
other country in the world knows him
as the U. S. does, and he knows and
loves no country as he does this.
Liberia Abysainia, San Domingo and
Haiti. Negro countries, have been
inviting him to come to their arms, but
he has not fallen in their embrace,
Mexico and Brazil, mixed countries,
have repeatedly offered him land, citi-
enship, social, political and civil
quality, but he has chosen to stay at
home. France invited the Negro to
come to her arms and be free, but he
heard the Eagle equal and said, "Here
we remain." She wanted 250,000
American Negroes for her army, she even
offered commissions in her army without
any racial barriers, and yet hardly
a soul won' from our shores to France.
For this is the best country in the
world for the Negro to fight and die for,
and the majority of Negroes agree with
me and are pretty well contented to
stay at home and work out the true
relation of the white man and the
black man here in America.
For this is the only civilized country where God has placed so many Negroes to live side by side and get the religion and civilization of the white man, so he will be competent to measure up to the fullest requirements of American citizenship. The Negro has always been a friend of the white-man; even in the Revolutionary War he fought to make this country free for the white man, and yet he was a slave. During the Civil War they took care

To All Divisions and Members of the
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION
A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own sinister or other purposes.
Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association receiving letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfere their allegiance from the U.S. to thetheir, or asking any obligation, will ignite such appeals and will realize immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire of the organization, movement or individual to undermine the validity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the realization of an object. You should support it for that object, and not allow others who may be more self-sacrificing to confuse you with distracting your mengre finance in supporting everything, and worsening all when you could have supported one good thing and made it stressed.

If our government liquidates Belgium's war debt by taking over the Congo siphte, it will mean civilization for millions now grazing in ignorance and darkness; it will mean safeguarding our civilization and saving the world for Christianity. I know it will build up American commerce and stimulate the building of a powerful fleet of American merchant ships, so we can capture the foreign trade of the world for our flag and country and keep our mills, mines, factories and farms producing wealth, and these wealth producing agencies with the foreign trade of the world will make the United States independent of European panics, and out of all this will come peace, prosperity and happiness for the American people.

El Senadur McCallum ha presentado un proyecto de
ley cn la legislatura de su estado, Mississippi, recomen-
dando at gobierno de Washington la provisién de suficiente
terrjtorio en Africa, por tratado, compra u otro medio,
para la instalacién de una repiblica para negros amert-
canos, bajo la proteccién de} gobierno de los Estados
Unidos de America.
EI autor de dicho proyecto tambien propone el uso de
la deuda de las naciones aliadas, para la adquisicion del
territorio Su intenci6n, al proporcionar un sitio para que
el negro americano tenga Ja oportunidad de desarrollarse
en circunstancias ventajosas, es la de que los Estados
Unidos de America se constituya genuinamente en una
nacion de una sola raza.
Esta resoluci6n es el sentimiento directo del programa
de La Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza
Negra. El famoso discursu de] Presidente Harding en
Birmingham, Alabama y el espiritu del Senador McCallum,
con la visién de un estadista, cooperarin para poner en
practica el objeto por el cual el Hon Marcus Garvey ha
luchado siete afios consecutivos una nacién de Negros
independientes en Africa.
Los elemento de nuestra raza en el estado de Missis-
sippi, pertenecientes a nuestra organizacién han de tomar
parte activa en la adopcién de este proyecto de ley. haciendo
