The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Antiguan Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interest of the Negro Reco Reaching the Mass of Negroes The East Advertising Media VOL. XII. No. 6 NEW YORK, SATURDAY; MARCH 25, 1922 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. & TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES PREPAREDNESS ON THE PART OF THE NEGRO I have often written to you on the subject of "Preparedness," but I feel that now, more than ever, we should consider this subject as all-important, because, as we look around, we find that all the other races and nations of the world are preparing themselves against the changes of the future, and it is to our interest to so prepare ourselves. A Century of Exploitation The Universal Negro Improvement Association desires that the four hundred million Negroes in the world prepare themselves through organized determination to resist the designs of others that seek to make us slaves, to reduce us to an inferior standing among the other races and nations of the world. That there is a world movement to further subjugate and exploit the weaker peoples of the world is not doubted. It can be seen, not only beneath but above the surface of all that is said and done by other peoples. As a race scattered and despised and exploited for hundreds of years, we cannot afford to hold ourselves at the mercy of those who might be disposed to treat us with sympathy, but it is for us, through our own initiative, to so environ ourselves as to assure that protection that is necessary to prevent us from being overvidden by the stronger forces of the world. To observe the activities of other peoples reveal to us their high state of preparation for meeting any contingency that may arise. If you were to look at the great Anglo-Saxon race you will find them in every department of human effort making every preparation to safeguard their racial rights and interests. As of them, so of the other races of Europe and Asia. We, as four hundred millions of people, should do no less than prepare ourselves through organization to ward off the dangers not only of the present, but of the future. We seek by unity of effort and of action to bring about a universal standardization of the race. We desire to place ourselves upon a level equal to that of other races and nations. This we will have to do by preparing the minds of our people everywhere for concerted action. We must forget our national, insular and parochial selfishness that has kept us apart for so many centuries. We must, if we are to go forward, broaden our outlook and widen our fellowship with the men and women of our race everywhere, because at no one section or point are we strong enough to independently carve out a destiny of our own. We have tried this in the past, and we have failed; hence, by the experience of the past we now guide ourselves with the intention of not only nationalizing our intentions and our outlook, but to broaden it to take in Negroes everywhere, and to have them all look toward the one objective of an emancipated race and a redeemed Fatherland. We must start out to prepare ourselves—mentally, spiritually, physically and in every way—to meet the growing demand that will be made upon us as a people, marching toward an independence of our own. Now is the Time! The other peoples who have climbed the ladder of success did so by preparing themselves in the one age for the conditions that had to be met in the other, so that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are advising that the four hundred millions of us prepare ourselves in this age to meet the changes that will come as we move along, and with which we will have to cope through superior fitness. There are some of us who believe that the program we have to put over can be accomplished in a day. It cannot World Movement to Further Subjugate and Exploit Weaker Peoples—Negroes of Today Should Lay Solid Foundation Upon Which Future Generations Can Build Later Days Ahead if We Support Universal Need Improvement Association We are now engaged in the organizing period of our work. Now is the time to bring all the people together, to give them a program, and to have them adopt and start putting to execution the details as outlined. The objective of a mighty nation is before us, yet the complete realization of it will take much time, but we must naturally start by laying a foundation, and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing now. We, therefore, ask Negroes everywhere to co-operate with us in laying this solid foundation upon which generations that will follow will build until we have realized in every detail the perfect state of our imperial vision. Take History as Your Guide! Those of us who lead this mighty world movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are command of the fact that the work that we have chosen will consume much time. We naturally, therefore, expect some to become discouraged by not seeing the immediate realization of everything planned, but how many of those who have started reform movements ever lived to see the full and complete realization of their dreams? That you can answer for yourself by taking history as your guide, so naturally you will not expect until all of us will live to see the day when Africa will be completely redeemed, when the entire race will be completely emancipated, but each and every one of us in a lifetime can contribute so much to the bringing about of a successful conclusion of the plans undertaken. If each and every Negro in his and her part of the world will buckle down in all seriousness to do something for the cause of African freedom we can well assure ourselves that the day would not be far distant when great changes would take place, that would in a way place the entire race in a better condition than it is at present. A Flaming Optimism! We are hoping for better days and the achievement of greater things. We are not pessimists; we are optimists in every sens of the word. We feel that by our own effort as four hundred millions of people we can so fashion and create things as to satisfy our own needs. Such has been the action of all other great peoples and nations of the world. They have always shaped and fashioned their own destiny, they have always created their own conditions and environments. As, for instance, the position that Great Britain now occupies was fashioned and created by the desires of Englishmen and Britishers to be what they are. They determined among themselves that they would never be slaves; they would build an empire upon which the sun would never set, and today you see that they enjoy and live in such environments. The early Colonists who settled themselves in North America determined to build up for themselves a free and independent country where they would worship religiously and politically in their own way. Today we have the great American Republic, the outcome of their determination to do for themselves. In like manner must the four hundred million Negroes of the world make up and determine in their minds that they will do for themselves in bringing about conditions suitable to their own happiness. The trouble with us now is that our leaders are in the main visionless. It is said somewhere that "where there is no vision the people perish." We have been perishing for hundreds of years because of the lack of vision on the part of those who lead. A proper survey of conditions among Negroes throughout the world will reveal the fact that we are handicapped by having in our might hundreds of different leaders scattered here, there and everywhere who have subordinated the rights of the people to their own selfish interests. The end kind you will find at this end having under his control fifteen hundred persons, two thousand different ways, rather than working in universal harmony. We will never be able to get anywhere as a people until we destroy that selfish kind of leadership that will keep us divided into a dozen different groups. The trouble with the race at this time is not so much the mass of the people, in that the masses are inclined to follow anywhere and everywhere, but this trouble is with the leaders. Can we not originate a program by which we can bring all these different leaders into one harmonious body and get them working toward the same end? The Third International Convention We desire to prepare the minds of our people everywhere, leaders and followers, to realize that only through unity of effort can we achieve anything worth while that will tend to better our condition economically and politically. We are hoping that the various race leaders of the world in religion, in politics and otherwise, will now concentrate upon the consolidation of Negrd sentiment by attending the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world to be held in New York from the 1st to 31st of August of the present year. The Universal Negro Improvement Association hopes that every Negro preacher, politician and leather will make it possible for all of us to meet in New York in the month of August at this convention to discuss among ourselves the ways and means by which we can give out to the world our common program, and unitedly, as four hundred millions of people, fall behind it and make it go for the good of all. The Universal Negro Improvement Association extends an open invitation to all unselfish leaders to fall in line with us and help put over the great program that we have undertaken. The time has come for the race to determine upon the program by which it should be governed. The time has really passed for strong groups of people to allow themselves to be dictated to and governed by others, without their having a voice in their own affairs. We can no longer as a people tolerate a position of inferiority among the other races of the world; hence, we must lay out a program and a policy of our own, and it is anticipated that such a program and policy will be outlined at the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. Therefore it is necessary for each and every representative member of the race to give his and her support to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in making the convention a great success. Plans are being laid by which we hope to lay our claims before the nations of the world, and to have these claims adjusted. It is no use in our continuing to divide among ourselves and agitate questions by the thousands or by the hundreds. Now is the time that we must amitate the questions that affect us as four hundred millions of people all together. Among the vital thing that affect us now are national freedom, independence, industrial freedom and political equality everywhere. If we are to win our in our demands for an adjustment of these questions we must do so as a solid body united on the common cause. Why should we differ? Why should we fight each other if our hopes and desires are the same? So now the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to Negro organizations and individuals everywhere to let us get together and put over the biggest program of an emancipated race and a redeemed country.

Gandhiji's colleague, Khankerat, Bombay banker, merchant and Nationalist leader, was sentenced today to ordinary imprisonment for one year and fined 1000 rupees. That the arrest of Gandhi and the regiment placed upon the country have considerably advanced the Khalifat (Mohammed-n) and Swaraj (home rule) cause, and that the Non-Cooperationist leader's arrest will not alter the program outlined at Bardoll recently, which includes individual civil disobedience, is the opinion of the meeting committee of the All-India Congress Committee, as expressed in a regulation carried today. A heated discussion lasting for six hours, preceded it adoption. The committee calls on all the Congress organizations to devote themselves to carrying out the constructive program agreed upon at Bardoll, and says that it considers universal adoption of the spinning wheel and the use of 'hand spun materials essential to attainment of the country's goal. Gandhism Gandhi published his scheme for non-co-operation in September, 1920, in his program were included the resignation of their posts by honorary magistrates, the withdrawal of pupils from government or State schools and colleges, the boycott of the courts, the giving up of their prestige by lawyers and the abstention from other activities in co-operation with the British Government in India. He met Ahmedabad by Police Superintendent Haley, who previously had taken into custody a leading Nationalist named Shankerlal, a banker, near the Stagrayareshaham, which is Gandhi's religious and political institute, situated a few miles from that city.

Such a plenile mass of humanity thinking in the terms of oneness, always willing to step out the mandates of its leader, would be a valuable asset to any concern. No one is more conscious of this fact that those who constitute the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This splendid consciousness which has been inspired in us by the excellent leadership of the Ken. Marquis Darvey must crystallize in us along with its paramount objective—universal business consciousness. Since this program has been introduced and accepted by 4,500,000 Negroes, the world over, more businesses have been started by Negroes than ever before since the days of our ancient Ethiopian civilization. In every rural district, village, town and city, the world over Negroes are engaged in some form of business. The first tangible evidence of this new business consciousness took its inception to the form of individualism, and to now crystallizing into a corporate spirit. If you can open our publications you will find them to be a form of dissemination of asserted Negro corporations, ranging from bootback to steamship corporations, which is a aplid and evidence of this business consciousness. At present, this consciousness is largely confidential or provincial, but when it shall have thoroughly possessed the Negro it will manifest itself in an Wow!

A few days previously, when his arrest was imminent, Gandhi, writing in the newspaper New India, of Bombay, said that if he were arrested the people should remain unmoved.

CRACKERS IN FRANCE URGE WITHDRAWAL OF BLACK TROOPS Pathological Fallacy Raised —Colonial Office to Stand by Algerian Braves PARIS, March 18.—Agitation has begun in France for the repatriation of thousands of black troops to Algiria and Senegal who now are stationed in French garrisons. The cities of Toul, Verdun and Montanaun are filled with Africans on leave and, while prejudice against blacks is virtually non-existent in France, repatriation is desirable from the medical point of view, as the experts declare that pathologically the Africans are different from the French and that the blacks are susceptible to pulmonary ailments in the French winter. The government has said the view that the colonial merit all the rights of French offensives, as their blood flowed freely in the war, but they declare the best solution of the race problem is to encourage the colonials to develop as a race in their native countries.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 Photo by Moodie Chigo A MEETING OF THE GARY (INDIANA) DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION IN ITS LIBERTY HALL GANDHI, ON WAY TO PRISON ASSUMES ALL BLAME FOR RIOTING Articles in Young India, While Preaching Non-Violence, "Incessantly Teach Disaffection and Openly Seek to Instigate Others to Overthrow It," Court Holds AHMEDABAD, British India, March 19—Asked by the Magistrate on Saturday, prior to being sentenced to six years' imprisonment, whether he pleaded guilty to all the charges made against him Mohandas K Gandhi, the non-Co-operationist leader, replied in the affirmative. The Advocate General pointed out that the articles of Gandhi printed in Young India formed merely a part of the campaign to spread disaffection openly, to systematically render government impossible and to bring about the overthrow of the government. He contended that the writings of Gandhi were not those of an uneducated or obsure man. they are to have the diseases they will get them anyway Though children are especially susceptible to the following diseases: Mumps, measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis, escape is possible, since the diseases are not inevitable. The above-named diseases though serious in themselves, very often leave after effects even more serious. It was true that the articles insisted on non-violence, but he asked what was the value of this "if you increasingly teach disfection against the government and openly seek to instil gate others to overthrow it." Takea the Blame Gandhi made a long statement in which he admitted that teaching disaffection against the existing system of government had become almost a passion with him. He declared he took all the blame for the disorders in Madras, Bombay and Chauri Chaura, but he added that if he were liberated he would keep up his work. Non-violence was the first and last article of his faith, he bore no ill-will against any single administrator nor any disaffection toward the king's person. Gandhi said he was in court to submit obserbity to the highest authority which could be afflicted and that there were two courses open to the judge—ither to resign if he felt the law he was called upon to administer was evil and Gandhi was innocent, or to inflict the most severe penalty if he believed Gandhi's activity injurious to the public weak. Eulogized as a Man The judge said it was impossible to ignore the fact that in the eyes of millions of his countrymen Gandhi was a great patriotic leader and a man of high ideals, leading a noble, even a saintly life; but his duty was to judge him as a man who admitted he had broken the law and committed what to the ordinary person must appear to be a great offense against the State. The judge said he was unable to understand how Gandhi could have continued to believe violence would not be the inevitable consequence of his political teachings. Gandhi thanked the court for its courtesy. He said he considered the sentence as light as any judge could possibly have inflicted. The news of the cantence spread rapidly through Ahmedabd, but there was no disorder. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Dept. Negro 464-568 West 183th street, New York, N. Y. It is well for parents to hear in mind that infants and children are exceedingly sensitive to their surroundings and cannot endure unfavorable hygienic conditions, without danger to life and health. they are to have the diseases they will get them anyway Though children are especially susceptible to the following diseases: Mumps, measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diphtheria, poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis, escape is possible, since the diseases are not inevitable. The above-named diseases though serious in themselves, very often leave after effects more serious, the three last named esperiasis which three, fortunately, Negro children are not susceptible to. While ignorance in the care and feeding of children, and unfavorable environment are in a great measure responsible for our high infant death rates, it has been proven that other factors also are responsible. It is said by an eminent authority that "Infant mortality is the most sensitive index we possess of social welfare. If babies were well born and well cared for their mortality would be negligible. The infant death rate measures the intelligence, health and right living of fathers and mothers, the standards of moral and anitation of communities and governments, the efficiency of physicians, health officers and educators." Another authority, "The human race has now had an experience in the care of infants that extends over thousands of years, yet today we are still on the whole less successful in keeping babies alive than we are in raising domestic animals." The author of this quotation, were she living today, would surely have exempted the people of New Zealand, for they have demonstrated to the world that infant mortality can be almost completely controlled. Care of the child should begin before birth, every expectant mother should put herself under the care of a competent physician or prenatal clinic whenever possible. Demonstrations of the value of prenatal care are being made periodically by various district nursing associations, and they are proving that the death rate among the babies whose mothers had prenatal care are much lower than the babies whose mothers had not had prenatal care. The difference is as great through the first year of life—the period when infant mortality is highest. If prenatal care can save so many lives, and we believe also can give babies a better start in life, surely every expectant mother ought to consider it a duty to her unborn child to seek prenatal care.

"PRINCE HALL OR NEGRO MASONRY" A recent issue of an English Masonic Journal announces that the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of New York had just celebrated its Diamond Jubilee and then goes on to congratulate our colored brethren for the earnestness with which they "enter upon their Masonic duties." Here is a typical example of the anomalous condition that exists throughout the Masonic world. English Masons acknowledge the validity of Negro Masonry and welcome the Negroes into their fraternal circles. American Masons refuse to extend the fraternal hand and declare with an almost unanimous voice that Negro Masonry is clandestine, and yet English and American Masonry is in the closest affiliation, and almost all the Masonry in this country has descended from the Mother Grand Lodge across the sea. Thus it is with a score of equally important matters. Some of our Grand Lodges do not like the Swedish Masonry because it is specifically "Christian," and others similarly turn the cold shoulder to the Grand Orient because, forsooth, it is "atheletic." One Grand Lodge refuses to recognize the but seldom ever mention two of the most important contributing factors—improper housing accommodations and industrial slavery. The hardihood and virility of the Negro has enabled him, however, to compare favorably with other people, in spite of his handicap.

Grand Lodge of Panama because it has no legitimate ancestry. Another Grand Lodge extends a few months welcome because Panama is legitimate. And so it goes. There is no need that anybody feel much concerned about this. The same unconscious situation may be found among churches, governments and every other human institution that makes any attempt to establish an international comity. An ideal and perfect Masonic unity is and always will be an impossibility. But what if there is a unity now existing in spite of all the differences above suggested and it is quite sufficient for all Masonic purposes, above this must not be understood to mean that no attempt should be made to bring all members of the Brotherhood into closer unity. The work advocated by the National Masonic Research Society from its inception is one of the most methods of bringing a common mind and spirit into the great unequal Masonic world. The large number of our differences and divisions spring from an uninformed comprehension of Freemasonry its history nature and mission. When the majority of Masons know the history and evolution of the order and have learned the A B C s of its philosophy and know a little about Masonry as it has variously developed in the countries of the world there will be less dogmatism in their souls and more fraternism—Paper read at the meeting of the United Masters Logo No 18, Auckland, by Worthy Brother D B.

Whereas the rules and regulations of the Republican party in the county of New York permit district leaders to appoint captains and lieutenants in a personal way religion and favoritism have played a great part. And to such an extent has this tyranny been practiced unjustly it has very often throttled and usurped the will and real voice of the voters in many of the election districts. These captains and co-workers are not required to be elected by the voters, and more often than not, especially in Harlem, they do not reside in the election district which they serve. This squishes honest ambitions, discards efficiency, arrests Republican progress and enthusiasm resulting in misunderstanding of executive orders, producing at the same time a conflict of desires and a war of factions.

Resolved that the County Committee of the Republican party in the county of New York reorganize at the earliest possible moment for the welfare of the party; be it also Resolved that the rules and regulations governing the County Committee and the party in the county of New York be revised and amended eliminating such provisions as permit of arbitrary course favoritism and biasism, that a more liberal policy and consideration be extended to the election districts and the voice of the people therein that captain and women co-workers in election districts be the male and female members of the County Committee elected by the highest number of votes respectively and that a female be annually elected as co-leader of each Assembly district in the same manner provided for the election of the same Assembly district leader be it further.

COURT HOLDS UP SIMMONS' DE- FENSE OF KU KLUX ATLANTA, Ga. March 18 — Whether Imperial Wizard' W J Simmons will be allowed to publish his articles in defense of the Ku Klux Klan, promised as an answer to the expose of the New York World, seems to be in doubt. The first of the series, purely of an intro- ductory nature, has been held up on order of Judge George B. Bell. The order of injunction was granted necessary days ago on the petition of the insurgents, who claimed Simmons ins- tructured them to attack their leaders and to attack the army, this might operate for their defiance. It was understood the in- surgents merely protected the insurgents from attack, but it now appears that a sep of Simmons announcement to re- spouse to the forthcoming letter, was concluded in the said, and both insurgents were held at peace, without contempt to establish this new article. The insurgents, in only temporary. and be designated as north, south, east or west ends, and, that such districts so divided shall have in each respective end or section an executive member duly elected by the county committeemen and women in such ends and sections, and that such executives shall become the trustees of the party's interest in their particular end or section, each having a half vote in Executive Committee, so be it Resolved that the Thirteenth Assembly District, the Nineteenth Assembly District and the Twenty-first Assembly District where the colored Republican vote is very strong and is living in well-defined sections be so divided as pointed out herein, and the county committee and women in the respective ends of each be called to assemble and elect their respective leaders or executive members. This will end Harlem's political war and group factional fight in other parts of the county, leaders would be made by the vote and with regularity then, and differences within NO DISORDERS IN INDIA AFTER GANDHI'S SENTENCE LONDON March 19—The news of Gandhi's sentence says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph from Rimba bay was received throughout India quietly and in many districts apolitically. Among the extremists Gandhi admissions in the court made a great impression and his expression of appreciation of the fairness of his trial did much to remove feelings of resentment. According to the dispatch instructions have been issued to treat Gandhi with every possible consideration. In a statement at his trial Gandhi according to the Central News, said the present system of government in India had done more harm than any other Constitutional reforms were only a further method of draining India for her wealth and prolonging her servitude. Cottage industries in rural India, be declared were irrevocably ruined, and England and the town dwellers of India would have to answer to God for this crime against humanity. The greatest misfortune was that their Indian co-operators were not aware that they were engaged in this crime. The text of cables exchanged between Premier Lloyd George, on behalf of the Cabinet and the Prince of Wales on the eve of the departure of the Prince from Indian for Japan are published today. The Premier's despatch pays warm tribute to the Prince's capacity, 'inherited from your father not only to command allegiance, but to inspire devotion of the subjects'. It adds that the personality and untiring enthusiasm of the Prince left on the Princes and peoples of India an ineffaceable impression which the Premier trust will endure. The Prince says he is filled with admiration for the British and Indians alike who are intrusted with the government of India and are striving wholeheartedly in a spirit of co-operation and good will which alone can ensure India a well-being. He says I leave India with confidence, he says I leave India with confidence that he will do full justice to the opportunities before her. AN FOR IN INDIAN CRISIS Promote Self-Government in conditions of Anglo- Alliance WASHINGTON, March 18.—"Owing to the critical situation in India, which may at any moment lead to a general uprising, the British Government has asked the Japanese Government for military aid." This statement was made today by the American Commission to Promote Self-Government in India. Continuing, the commission says: "Through confidential sources a. Tokio and London this commission has received word that the requir. to the Japanese government was based on the provision of the Anglo-Japanese alliance which provides for Japanese intervention in event of revolution in India and remains in force until the ratification of the four-power treaty in which the United States and France are allied with Britain and Japan. "No mention of India is made in the four-power treaty, but if that treaty is merely an enlargement of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, as some British and Japanese statesman maintain, then it is only limited to suppose that this country will be drawn into the continental trouble."

Negro alleged to have poured gasoline over the clothing of Mra. Ada May Fortin, and set it after after attempting to rob her last Tuesday, was taken from the jail here at 130 a. m. today by a mob of several hundred persons with the awaived intention of burning him at the stake. Drisdom was taken to the plantation of J L. Harrison, about five miles distant, the scene of the attack upon the young widow. An hour later no word had been received from the mob. No shots were fired when the Negro was taken from the jail, and the mob, said it have included persons from four neighboring counties, worked quietly.

But we know that in some cases with the black man it is more truth than poetry. Why be so polluted? We women of the Negro people of the world are crying for freedom from this bondage that is crushing the spirit within us.

Lady President of Camagay, Cuba Division, Urges Women of Race to Stand by the Red, Black and Green GIRLS AT HOWARD ORGANIZE SORORITY Students of Medical and Dental School Plan to Extend Work to All Negro Colleges On January 4, 1922, twenty-six Howard University medical girls met and organized a sorority known as the Pho Pai Phi, comprising girls of the medical dental and pharmaceutical departments executive. This is the greatest movement undertaken by women of any of the professional schools in America, and should these young women be successful in carrying out their aims, its medical profession will be put on a higher plane, for no race can rise higher than its womanhood. The Pho Pai Phi hopes to organize chapters in every medical school where there are colored women. The Howard University Medical school boasts of thirty-seven young ladies and hopes this movement will be the means of interesting more young women to enter it. different branches of the medical professional.

March 20 - White armed volunteers, numbering more than 100, co-operating with city and county officers, waited last night for an announced parade by members of the Ku Klux Klan, no marchers appeared. The streets were filled with the usual Sunday evening crowds. Addresses were made in the District Court room to the officers and volunteers, warning against using their weapons except in necessity. At 11 30 o'clock it was estimated fully 200 men carrying arms were in the streets, although no disturbance had been reported and there was no evidence of the klan. It was announced at the District Court room that watch would be kept until 2 o'clock Monday morning, and a general signal given if any klanmen appeared. RISING ILLINOIS STREAMS DRIVE MANY FROM HOMES SPRINGFIELD. ILL. March 20—Overflowing its banks at numerous points, the Bangamon—River today threatened considerable property damage to towns and farms along its course. The river floods were reported to be the highest in years. At Poterburg residents near the river were driven from their homes and forced to take refuge in other parts of the town, according to reports reaching here. Many streams of Central Illinois were out of their banks as the result of heavy rains. At Taylorville watchmen patrolled the streets in boats. OUTBREAK IN INDIA AS GANDHI PROTEST Bonfire of Foreign Cloth Kindled in Calcutta, but otherwise Demonstration is Orderly CALCUTTA.

A bonfire was made of foreign cloth, but otherwise the demonstration was orderly It is officially announced that the railroad strikers are resuming work at many places in satisfactory numbers, but that elsewhere the strike continues. A labor member of the Bengal government has telegraphed the victory that a serious development in the strike is probable, owing to a threatened sympathetic strike by the Bengal and Nagpur railwaymen and local miners. COMMISSIONER TIGERT ON NEGRO EDUCATION Says Economic Interests of Country Are Involved WASHINGTON, D. C., March 20—(Special)—That the material and moral interests of the whole country are involved in the question of Negro education is the substance of an interview given out by Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, on his return from a recent conference in Nashville with the heads of the twenty-eight State and Federal Land Grant Colleges for Negroes. The fact that Dr. Tigert is a native of Tennessee and has always lived in the South adds significance to his statement, which follows in full: "The neglect of Negro education has resulted in an immeasurable loss to the country. It has affected not only the material prosperity, especially of the South, where the Negro population is greatest, but has likewise affected the standard of living and the character of citizenship, and has in many morale of our people. If we had long ago technical education of our Negro population, the increase in the value of our products, both agricultural and manufacturing, would have been local, culturally great. The intangible and living material begins which would have accrued can hardly be estimated, now we form an estimate of what would have been the effect upon the Negro almost the way it was in the past, according to the facts. PERSECUTION OF GANDHI HON. MARCUS GARVEY Writer Makes Comparisons of Politics of Two "World Characters" and Comes to Portinent Conclusions If a Man Dies, Shall He Live Again? The greatest comedian the American stage has ever known passed away March 4, 1922. If a man dies, shall he live again? In some cases, no; but in "Bert's" case, yes.

H. MALONEY While Great Britain's most popular Ambassador without portfolio is bagging tigers in the forests of Bengal, Mahatma. Gandhi is in prison. While the self-constituted leaders of the race are fritting away the time of their constituency in frivolities and trivialities, Marcus Garvey is being persecuted. But Gandhi's imprisonment is just the beginning of the end of British tyranny in India, and Garvey's persecution is simply fuel fed to the fire of Negro racial consciousness. "Who Is Marcus Garvey?" Students Are Asked Now why is it that the eyes of the world are focused upon these two characters? Gandhi's name is in every journal and on every tongue, and so is Gandhi. A great institution of learning just recently examining its students, asked the question, "Who is Marous Garvey?" That Eberta, Poincaré, Lloyd George and Lenine should have the "pollot of publicity thrown upon them is natural in case of being then recognized governments. But Gandhi is a peripatetic mendicant and Garvey is a servant of his people The reason is simple. These men are good social and political diagnosticians. They have felt correctly the pulse-beats and the heart throbs of their people, and they are honestly and conscientiously striving to apply "radical" remedies. They are both tired of narcotics, opiates and other palliatives. They are both breaking the graven images which for centuries have been used to describe the people their best interests. They are both leading the people to begin the solution of their problems starting from fundamentals. The Task of a Map And they have towering obstacles to overcome. Gandhi has to bridge the chasms caused by the presence of over 2,000 cartes, and a score of offering religious and social ideals. He has to weld into one of the proud Parsee, the passive Budhist, the belligerent Moslem, and the cold Confician. He has to bridge the barriers, dividing the Brahmin, and the Chutthir from the despised chamber. And then he begins to build a durable group that has been infected with the virus of British culture that has been infected with the virus of British culture and British ideals. That is the task of a real man! A Flop, a Rubber Stamp and a Comedian But Mr. Garvey's task is even greater. For three hundred years the nations of the Occident have been tampering with the ideals of the Negro and super-imposing upon him a culture and mental outlook critically foreign to his instincts and his past history. France has made a fop of him; England a rubber-stamp gentleman, Spain an irresponsible creature, and America a comedian. So the "African Abroad" is a creature covered over with a thick coat of wax; and the movement fostered by Mr. Garvey has got to melt the wax without injury to the body. And despite what it does, the mesophere of a racial self-sufficiency and solidarity, and then indoctrinate it into an effective program making for political autonomy. A herculean task this: A Chasm of Difference But Garvey, like Gandhi, is succeeding. The Indian movement has the advantage in this, that: (1) the Indians have no hegela to make, they are on the soil, and (2) they have a group of understudies to Mr. Gandhi who can take up his task whenever circumstances cause him to lay it down. But gifted "Africans Abroad" have got to journey back to their fatherland to help build up the nation that is to be; and the Garvey move- ```markdown ``` ment has got to have time to build up a line of inspired leadership. But Mr. Garvey has this in his favor. He is a young man—still in his early thirties. He has yet to reach the sixth of his power, his vision and his constructive ability. Collequially, he has not yet "struck his stride." And now a last word as to the philosophy of these two world characters: Gandhi is a spiritual descendant of Tolstoi, robed in Eastern garb, while Garvey is of the lineage of Toussaint-L'Overture and Patrick Henry. Gandhi, with much opposition from within the ranks, says he would rather be stiffen than be found smiling; let the boycott of non-co-operation in our war be unleashed. While Marvin Gandhi says that he who would be free must strike the first blow; we should attain our ends by peace if we can; by war, if we must; but to attain it we shall "by the sword of the Lord and of Glideon." These are the two men whom teaming millions of the masses regard as Gods, Goddesses; but which names and shiver down the spirit of the oppressor of men. CARRINGTON BROS. ACQUIRE NEW OFFICES Carrington Brothers, the well-known real estate owners and operators of Brooklyn, have acquired a suite of beautifully appointed quarters at $710 Fulton street, Brooklyn, where they plan to do a tremendous job of business this spring. The Carrington Brothers, as everybody knows, own property to the extent of $200,000 in and around Brooklyn. Seventeen years ago they came to New York from the West Indies and did all sorts of odd jobs from New York to Boston—tailoring, dry cleaning, serving pictures, stock selling—and gradually invaded the field of real estate. The result is they are acknowledged by white and black as powerful magnates in the financial life of the metropolis and, incidentally, on the first of the Macro property owners of Brooklyn.

Black workers in the gold fields of Johannesburg are defying the government and insisting on the rights of workingmen. All over the world the awakening of the darker races is the sore spot of international intrigue.

For the benefit of its readers and the whole black world in general The Negro World takes pleasure in announcing that beginning with its present number His Excellency Duse Mohamed Al Effendi, the famous Egyptian journalist, will conduct on this page a department devoted to foreign affairs. As editor and founder of the "African Times" and "African and Orient Review" of London, Mr. Mohamed, more than any other Negro writer, has been able, through his exhaustive travels in Africa, India and Asia, to grasp the problem of the darker races as it fundamentally is. Needless to say, his weekly interpretation of the course of international politics will carry weight and ripeness of judgment. NORTHCLIFFE ON SELF-DETERMINATION CREDULITY is the saving grace of the Anglo-Saxon. Optimism and a cock-sure philosophy shatter his illusions of conquest. But there is a limit to everything. Two years ago Mr. Lathrop Stoddard published a book called "The Rising Tide of Color Against White Supremacy" which editors of the imperialist press dismissed as the gyrations of a muck-raker and yellow journalist. A year later "The New World of Islam" provoked a new estimate—on the part of Wall Street—of Mr. Stoddard. There was some essence of truth and soundness of judgment back of his predictions, after all. Events later proved a good many of Mr. Stoddard's theories. From then he was regarded as a seer and a prophet and a pillar of white civilization. Now comes Lord Northcliffe, the Hearst of Great Britain, after a tour around the world, confirming all the things we black folk know and about which Mr. Stoddard wrote as regards the consolidation of revolutionary sentiment among the darker races. Northcliffe, whose scholarly imperfections are so glaringly brought out in Mr. Tuohy's report in the New York World, puts a great deal of the blame on the drooping shoulders of Dr. Wilson and his philatutinous tongue. Even on the balmy shores of the South Seas—Hawaii, Honolulu, Fiji Islands—the picturesque natives pay attention to the white hot outbursts of the phrasesmakers of "Young India." Garveyism, Mohammedanism, Gandhism, and a terrible lot of other isms are all putting a finger in the pie of revolt. At least the white world will now understand that the day of reckoning is not far off! NEGRO MASONRY to trace the workings and at the Negro. The article Masonry states: "English to Masonry and welcome the American Masons refuse to with an almost unanimous and yet English and Am- and alveer all the Mason It is interesting to trace the workings and ramifications of caste prejudice against the Negro. The article from a New Zealand paper on Negro Masonry states: "English Masons acknowledge the validity of Negro Masonry and welcome the Negroes into their fraternal circles; American Masons refuse to extend the fraternal hand and declare with an almost unanimous voice that Negro Masonry is clandestine; and yet English and American Masonry is in the closest affiliation, and almost all the Masonry in this country has descended from the mother Grand Lodge across the sea." In confirmation of this we will state that in company with Mr. A. A. Schomburg we saw in Mr. David Parker's home the facsimile of African Lodge Charter No. 453, Free and Accepted Masons, granted by the Grand Lodge of England, F. & A. M. September 29, 1784, issued by vote of the most worshipful Prince Hall Lodge, F. A. M. of Massachusetts, at the annual communication, December 1907 Our attention was called to an article in the March, 1922, issue of "The National Trestle Board," an illustrated Masonic magazine, published in San Francisco, Cal. The article is by Silas H. Shepherd and is entitled "An Invaluable Bibliography. Notes on the Literature Dialog with Negro Free Masonry," and is continued. We will not mention the readers of the Negro World with long quotations from the article, but we desire to call attention to it because we see in it not only a recognition of Negro Masonry, but also a recognition of the Masonic articles stated: "There are, however, many Negro lodges over the working under charter from Negro grand lodges. These Grand grand lodges claim they are descended from African Grand Lodges, which was warranted by the Grand Master of the Grand Lodges, England September 29, 1784, and which has the authority of being the only lodge that ever existed in possession of a warrant from the premier Grand Lodges." descent in Massachusetts either through provincial grand masters or the ancients "The whole subject of Negro Masonry and the different views regarding its loss of recognition (for it is unquestioned that it was considered a regularly constituted and lawful lodge by the Grand Lodge of England, Modern, and carried on the 'List of Lodges' until 1813, at which time all lodges in the United States were erased), is so interwoven with the facts relating to the three other branches of Free Masonry in Massachusetts from 1784 to 1792 that it is well to know that such existed. "Not only did the Grand Lodge of England warrant African Lodge No. 459 and maintain it on the list of regular lodges until 1813, but one writer of unquestioned veracity has stated that he has conclusive, contemporary, documentary evidence that from 1792 to at least as late as 1834 African Lodge No. 459 was regularly and frequently visited by the white Masons of Boston, as many as twenty being present at one time."

More than one influence has contributed to the world's regarding the Negro more seriously, and we believe that the judicious will regard the U N I A as among those influences. THE TRUTH AT LAST! "A last," writes Mrs K. New Republic, "one half officers, wives and fathersowed to remain in Haiti.

The twentiethization is immeasureably influent his welfare. We are not surprised, therefore get Matthew Bullock back to North Canadian Government to extradite Toronto organizing a vigilance watchfulness. The most gratify in twentieth century Negroes is here. FOREIGN "At last," writes Mrs Katherine Sergeant Angell in "The New Republic," one has the secret of why the Occupation, officers, wives and families, are trying so hard to be allowed to remain in Haiti. Why of course, where else can one live in a villa with nine servants, horses, automobiles, on a diet of chicken, alligator pears and heart of palm for a few cents a day, fine French wines and native rum for the ordering, and all on a second lieutenant's pay? Where else, too, can an officer draw double pay, as many do in Haiti, with commissions in both the Marine Corps and the Haitian Gendarmerie." Yes, and the parasites return to Washington and invent stories about the poverty of the country and the lassitude of the natives. That is why Americans who go to the tropics remain there, send for their families, and live a life of baronial ease. Backed by the army and navy of the United States, these cracker ambassadors go to places like Cuba, Nicaragua and Panama, St. Domingo and Haiti and, vulture-like, prey upon the prosperity of the country. In Nicaragua, like in Mexico, it is a case of "intervention" for the preservation of peace. In Panama it is simply a question of acting the part of a big strong brother and exacting a tip on the sly for it Cuba, like the Virgin Islands, is open to all sorts of military exploitation. Only Haiti is the one that is rambunctious enough to cry out against the sins of capitalist rule. Strange as it may seem, the administration is allowing itself to be honeyfugled by a few army officers who color the facts as regards Haiti. Unless Mr. Harding is not out to do the right thing, we should think that he would be impatient with the lies and errors of his plenopotentaries in Haiti. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY NEGRO ATURN in the habit of mind of Negroes inclining them toward a more virile manhood is evident in nearly every part of the world where Negroes reside. The old expression, "Negroes won't organize," is rapidly losing its significance. The twentieth century Negro realizes that organization is immeasureably influential and absolutely indispensable to his welfare. We are not surprised, therefore, that Ku Klux Klan threats to get Matthew Bullock back to North Carolina after the refusal of the Canadian Government to extradite him should result in Negroes in Toronto organizing a vigilance committee to supplement police watchfulness. The most gratifying results of the new spirit among twentieth century Negroes is here very much in evidence. By DU8E MOHAMED ALI THE FREEDOM OF EGYPT We are informed by the Associated Press that Sultan Ahmed Fund Paasha was proclaimed King of Egypt on the 16th inst. amid the smashing of street lamps by the populace. The newly appointed King of Egypt announced through his Prime Minister, Sarvat Paasha, that To our noble nation, God has graciously permitted the independence of Egypt to be attained by our hands We are grateful to God and hereby announce to the world that from today, Egypt enjoys independence and sovereignty. We take for ourselves the title of His Majesty, King of Egypt, in order to insure the country's dignity and its international status. We ask God and the nation to bear witness that we shall endeavor to work for the welfare and happiness of our beloved country. We hope this day will inaugurate an era which will restore Egypt's grandeur. So much for the announcement of our new king. It is pleasing to note that the title, "Bultan," which was extremely abhorious to the Muslim world, has been scrapped, but the question remains whether Fund the First will select Ministers of knowledge and capacity, who will assist in "inaugurating an ennosis which will restore Egypt's grandeur. It should, however, be borne in mind that the new King of Egypt has never done anything in the way of assisting to bring about the freedom of Egypt, which he claims it has "attained by his hands." Unlike Prince Omar Tousson and Prince Mohame, All, the brother of the deposed Khedive, who were both ardent Nationalists, Fund has always been more concerned about his personal ambitions rather than the "mations or independence of the people of Egypt, or even the people of Albania, to obtain the throne of which latter country he spent considerable sums agitating in the capitals of Europe during the year 1913. It is quite evident that Premises Lord George with that Celtic and uncanny instinct which he possesses in such a marked degree, introduced King George into the scheme of Egyptian independence. For the purpose of saving Katherine Sergeant Angell in "The was the secret of thely the Occupation families, are trying so hard to be all of course, where else can one live, automobiles, on a diet of chicken for a few cents a day, fine French diner, and all on a second leisure an officer draw double pay, as so sessions in both the Marine Corps and to Washington and invent stories and the lassitude of the natives to the tropics remain there, send for parental ease.

AFFAIRS the face of Lord Cromer His Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, as well as the British Cabinet. The populace of Egypt in breaking street lamps, while Fund was being proclaimed king, is an evidence that the people of Egypt are none too certain that the integrity of Egypt will be maintained unless the liberation from exile of Zouqihae has the popular idol, who has stood it, the front of the battle for an absolutely dependent Egypt should have been simultaneous with the announcement of Egypt's independence. This brings us to the question of British Bona-fides, because it was the British High Commissioner, Lord Allonby, who introduced marital law into Egypt, making it possible for Zouqlih Pasha to be banished from his some. Further more, there is that objectifiable clause four (4) of the points laid down by the Prime Minister of England in which it is stated that interference in Egyptian matters by any foreign power will be regarded as an unfriendly act on the part of England, and it furthermore stated that troops will be quartered in Egypt to safeguard British interests, those of foreigners, and for the purpose of protecting minorities. Britain's many pledges covering a period of forty (40) years, lead to the natural supposition that clause four (4) is not only intended to protect British interests, the rights of foreigners and to protect the minorities, but also to continue the old system in a modified form which represented a veiled protectorate prior to the open declaration of absolute annexation of the Nile Valley in 1914. The foreign element in Egypt and the most objectionable is the Greek. And in view of the fact that Mr. Lloyd George and his Cabinet have been sympathetically inclined towards Greece and all things Greek, and also by reason of the fact that the Greeks have recently been the direct cause of formulating demonstrations in Egypt and have headed protests against an independent Egypt, it is natural to assume that the foreign interests which are qualified in the four (4) points can be most other than those of Mloyd Cleopatra's political enemies. That Zoughil Fusha should have been sacrificed in the interests of Egyptian independence is no more surprising than that Gandhi should have suffered incarceration at the hands of Great Britain. It has ever been the fate of leaders of reform movements to suffer at the hands of dominating powa, but history has always proved that the more banishment or suppression of the leader has strengthened his movement rather than weakened it. There was the case of Arabi Pasha in Egypt who was first sentenced to death, the sentence being substituted to banishment to the island of Ceylon in 1892, but his banishment only scouted national aspirations but did not kill it because he did not kill the king. Kamel Pasha started his agitation in 1896 while Arabi Pasha still languished in exile in Ceylon and from that date until the present time, nationalistic Egyptian agitation has increased in volume until the life of a Briton became so precarious and insurrece that England was compelled to restore to the Egyptian people that freedom which was ruthlessly wrested from them without valid excuse in 1892. Meanwhile, Gandhi remains prisoner, but the demonstrations which have taken place throughout the world where Indians are domiciled, are proofs that the martyred Gandhi will bring India nearer its independence than it has ever been under British rule. In like manner, the arrest of Mr Marcus Garvey has not only drawn the bonds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association closer than they have previously been, but should the United States Government incarcerate the President general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the movement will unquestionably gain for itself a larger number of adherents. It is quite obvious that the European is pursuing the policy of suicide in regard to the subject peoples. The European appears to have lost sight of the fact that it is no loss possible for him to stem the rising tide of intellectual progress than it was for King Calante to prevent the waves from covering his sandaled feet. The Italians are driving the Spaniards out of the Riff Country in Morocco. There is also considerable unrest in the French zone of that country. In the Hinterland of Tripoli, the Italians are being treated to homeopathic doses of guerrilla warfare which is greatly affecting the none too full treasury of Italy. The Africans, or what may be termed purely Negroes, in the interior of Africa are by no means satisfied with the conditions prevailing in their country, and it is only the lack of lethal weapons which has prevented a confaguration. The British Empire, because of financial conditions and internal disturbances, is marching towards the preclice of dissolution. A strong and dominating England would never have granted home rule to Ireland nor to Egypt. India is the last ditch. And it has become too late for India to accept anything short of complete independence because now that India is showing the solid front, and there is no longer an appreciable enmity between Muslim and Hindo, there can be but one end to the present empase which culminated in the arrest of Gandhi and the resignation of Montagu, England's ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs. The writing has appeared and it were well for the Europeans if they would read and correctly interpret those characters of freedom which are emblazoned on the canopy of Heaven. Since writing the above, reports state that Gandhal has been sentenced to six years' imprisonment and that the Prince of Wales has completed a very unsuccessful tour in India, where, with the exception of the states of Hyderabad and Bombai, the reception of England's heir-apparent was chilling in too extreme. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," runs the old saw. The writer of this column has stated on many occasions that the Europeans are suffering from that form of madness which leads to inevitable destruction, and England appears to be troubled with a larger dose of dementia than many of the so-called great powers. Her statesmen are also lacking in imagination and vision, otho-wise, irasmus as the departure of the Prince from India coined with the sentence of Gandhal, a government endowed with imagination would have announced the liberation of Gandhal from the mouth of the Prince, thus taking some of the sting out of the agitation by detaching the lukewarm adherents of non-co-operation from the great body of the Gandhal-ites. Gandhi will have to be pardoned in any event. Why not at that psychological moment when the Prince was departing from India? The New York World grandiliquently announced the publication of an article in its issue of the eighteenth instant by the Sage of Printing House Square on "The Menace of Islam." A careful perusal of the article in question, which proved to be an interview, revealed nothing that the world didn't already know. Lord Northilliffe used many words about his tour which suggested the impressions of a Cook's tourist rather than those of a modern, Warwick. His Lordship is either moving in the direction of mental sanity or he was merely treating the New York World's interviewer to a most amazing dose of spool. The write includes, however to the former opinion. The proprietor of the London Times, who is a very clever advertising man, has never impressed the writer as being a very deep thinker. It is quite easy for a good European advertiser to acquire the reputation of being a thinker and a man of affairs in these strenuous times, when the world, has little time to analyze the spurious claims of its reputed authorities. "BRITISH EMPIRE FAST APPROACHING RUIN," SAYS REGINALD McDONALD, SCOTCH LECTURER Scots, After Granting of Home Rule to Ireland, Are Clamoring for "Self-Determination for Scotland" CORRESPONDENCE failed on this occasion to sage on this momentous issue. The Associated Press telegraphs from Constantinople that Izab Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Minister, has telegraphed the results of his conversation with Lord Curson, the British Minister for Foreign Affairs, who made the following proposals for a settlement of the Turkish question That the Greeks withdraw from Anatolia. That the Allies protect the Christian minorities in Ionia, since the Turks have proved incompetent administrators. That the Thracian frontier be adjusted, starting at Mida, and the creation of a special regime at Adrianople. That the Turks accept unreservedly the British solution of the problem of the Dardanelles Strait. That the British frontier in Mesopotamia include the town of Mosul which has been disputed by the Turks. That a special Turco British convention be completed, to run twenty five years. That the Turks abandon anti-British propaganda in India, Persia and Afghanistan. That Anatolia recognize the Porte as the legitimate government in Turkey, and the reestablishment of the Sultan's authority over Anatolia. Evidently Lord Curzon has overlooked the telexogram which the government of India sent to Mr Montagau, which was published on March 8, relating to the revision of the treaty of Sevrou. The government of India particularly emphasized the necessity of guaranteeing the neutrality of the Dardanelles and the security of the non-Muslim peoples. Now, it is to be feared that the adjustment of the Thaian line at Midia will not satisfy That the British Empire is fast approaching "the parting of the ways" and will soon or late share the fate of some of the great empires of antiquity is the opinion of Reginald McDonald, a Scotch Nationalist and member of the Clan McAlpine, who in the course of a lecture the other night at P. S. 165, 189th street and Amsterdam avenue told the audience that the British Empire is soothing with addition, both from within and without. Booth Independence Predicted McDonald predicted that Scotland too, will soon be on a par with Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. He said, "Ireland's success has stimulated Scotland. The Scotch Nationalists have been greatly encouraged by the political developments in Ireland. Many people are not aware of the fact that there has for years been a Scottish Home Rulio party. The agitation produced by it only attracted a small following and scarcely produced a ripple on the political waters north of the Tweed. "Now that the Irish movement has succeeded, Scotch home rule is attracting more notice every day, and its adherents are multiplying by the thousands. In addition, the vision of the members has widened, and ever since the Anglo-Irish truce it has made 'Self-Determination for Scotland' its watchword. The speaker told of a regular organization of Scottish Ignoins now in existence in London. He said they are working as hard and as strenuous as the supporters of Ireland did in America to bring about Irish independence and will never rest satisfied till their native country has achieved the status of a state like Ireland. The Scottish people expect very much from the Scotland of today, the middle classes of which seem to be quite content with the material gains which accrue to them from their legislative connection with England. The real Scottish pioneers, however, are imbued with higher motives, and it may be taken as a certainty that they will A STAUNCH PATRIOT Editor, Negro World: I have read with deep interest the account of the propaganda waged by enemies of the Garvey movement to ruin the morale of the association and to cripple the Black Star Line Koener still is my sense of appreciation of the many letters that have been received giving encouragement and also pledges of loyalty sent from various divisions of the organization all over the world giving proof of the stability and determination of the Negro peoples for a free and redeemed Africa. There is a tendency among Negroes to believe that a steamship line, like other things, is a "made to order affair," and that as long as an individual has invested in one share of stock his obligation as a stockholder ceases, and he looks forward to the purchase of a liner or a freighter Let us bear in mind that where the Black Star Line is concerned there are two million shares of stock on the market, and that we have not bought up to our individual capacities. Many of us have done well, considering our status financially; many could do better for a little more energy; still far too many members of the organization have been killed ever, and they know the most. Remember, Nerium, be the world this organization has built so far. AN AFRICAN MAID Of Shheba's blackies she— As of the night! This gem of African maids Of whom I write.

For the rest, the proposed terms for settlement are not such as will appeal to the Anatolian Government in view of the strong position which Kamel Pasha now holds in the Muslim world. If the Anatolian Government is to recognize the authority of the Porte, the British should immediately evacuate Constantinople and consign the solution of the problem of the Dardanelles Straits to an international commission of Britain, France, Italy, the United States and Turkey. become a power in the land in the near future. Meanwhile, they are looking on at Ireland with friendly, if somewhat envious, eyes. Despotism Ruling British Empire The same despotism that brought all the old empires and the prosperous kingdoms of modern days to ruin and decay is bringing the British Empire to its doom. Watch the trend of events as the days go by. There is open sodition in all the British possessions at the present moment—in Egypt, in India and even in the little islands of the Caribbean Sea, the people are clamoring to be rid of the English voke." As proof of what is happening now, the lecturer gave a description of the serious rioting that has been taking place in India, where it was thought that a visit of the Prince of Wales last month would curb matters a bit. But as soon as he landed a mob from the Mohammadman quarter rushed the status of Lord Rippon, a former Viceroy, and an ornamental pagoda decorated with British flags and portraits of the visiting Prince. All the decorations were seized, scattered and trampled in the dirt, and great disorder prevailed. "This happened, notwithstanding the fact that the authorities had made elaborate preparations beforehand in the Bazaar area, which was patrolled by troops and armored cars. The Prince was actually in the Government house exchanging greetings with the native chiefs when this happened. Within a quarter of a mile of where the Prince stood, thousands were parading the streets, waving flags and shouting, 'Long live the sacred Gandhi!'

So strong is the feeling in these British possessions that it was found necessary at Downing street, London, to send Major A. W. L.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS y MARCUS GARVEY A WONDERFUL LEADER Marus Garvey lectured at the Bethel A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night to a fair and a representative audience, which he held from the time he commenced until the end of his discourse which was really remarkable for the very instructive and most conservative way in which he advised his hearers. This man Garvey is a remarkable character, a born leader, and will have a following in whatever undertaking he may engage in, for thousands of people will always believe in his honesty, for he is not a granddancer, but tells all groups the truth right from the shoulder. He is far in advance of his time and the real pioneer in this movement. So keep your eye on Garvey and his wonderful movement.—The Indianapolis World CHARLES YOUNG Every child of the race who had access to books or newspapers, or who has had intercourse with people who have kept in touch with race matters, has surely heard of Charles Young. Why, yes, Charles Young was at first a high military man the highest, someone said, in the race as major or something. With the delinquency of "Colonel Charles Young" there came inquiries as to how he attained his high rank. And then it was Charles Young who went through West Point, who braved not only the army caste system, that sends many a white boy under, but withstood the implausible onslaughts of race pre; three as well, and won out on sheer merit. Then it was Charl Young, a head of the Black Truth Charles Young in Mexico, in Liberty retired. Charles Young petitioning for active service in the World War I. Lamin J. Scott then special assistant to the secretary of Vars, says of this incident. "The Secretary" entering the large public office for his nomination, after views greeted him. "I said Mr. Secretary I have the honor to introduce and present Colonel Charles Young." The Secretary stepped back a bit and said, Are you Colonel Young? I am pleased to meet you. "There was a hearty handshake. An informal discussion followed as to the efforts which had been made to have Colonel Young restored to active service. The Secretary said Colonel Young. In case it is possible to restore you to active service, is your desire for combatant or non-combatant service? "The Doughty Colonel, with eyes flashing and head rucking, clicking his heels together and snapping his jaws, rolled." Combatant service Mr. Secreter — combatant service by all means. To the end he was like this, a good soldier, which means many things. He was to us or we grew up and came known to us and we live in the north and in many of the good soldier — The Northwestern Bulldog St. Paul Minn. "WHITE SUPREMACY" Colored census of Washington might as well begin preparing for another race riot. The established white press of this city is various enough in stirring up race prejudice but there appeared last week a little four-page sheet. The Bumble Bee that is destined to investigate another race riot. "The Bumble Bee is the rankest and vilest publication that has come to our attention. We realize that Washington, although the nation's capital, is completely southernerized and race prejudice is evident on every hand. But we also know that a large majority of the colored citizens of the capital city belong to the new type of colored people"—capable of thinking for themselves and acting in their own defense. Therefore, a few more issues of the "Bumble Bee with its vile cartoons, conceived in race prejudice and catering to the rabble, ruffian element of the white race, will precipitate a race clash here in the capital that will shock the civilized world. Who can conceive of the banalive influence of such a statement as this? "A few insurgent blacks, to whom a little knowledge is proving a dangerous thing, would upset the lines drawn by God and man. Thank God, it is not possible!" That is a paragraph from an editorial in the "Bumble Bee" headed "White Supremacy" The last sentence says: "To perpetuate the distinction set by God, the Bumble Bee steps into the field, bearing a large, sharp stinger." We would say to the "Bumble Bee" that the Tribune has the sword with which to sever this stinger. The whole back page of the "Bumble Bee" is given over to an advertisement of the H. E. K. and a lawful article of the Elan appears on the front page. It is apparent that the "Bumble Bee" is inspired by the H. E. K. With the K. R. E. advertising a parade in Hyatville and the "Bumble Keez" appearing on the streets of Washington, advocating "White Supremacy" which is the motto of the Ku Klux Klan, it is evident, to colored people, that there is infidelity, propagation and genocide involved in political Threat. That will hold the race with little, and even SOUTH AFRICAN REVOLT AND NATIVE TOLERANCE We read in the big white dailies throughout the country, "War in South Africa," hundreds killed and wounded, white men killing white men over the diamond mines and mineral deposits of our Motherland. Boers, British and South African whites employ machine guns, bombs, airplanes and hand grenades in a campaign of murder over the natural wealth of the Dark Continent, which is the God given heritage of black people. Native blacks, the rightful owners of these vast fields of diamond mines, outnumber the whites of the Union of South Africa about four to one. The white population, consisting of the Colonials and the posterity of British immigrants, is approximately a million and a quarter as against the million blacks. It does seem queer how numbers sometimes count for naught, and yet there are times when, even with the advantage numerically, other conditions make it sound philosophy to abide your time. One prominent daily says "The outstanding feature of the situation has been the behavior of the native population, which has shown exemplary forbearance and patience throughout." The writer is pleased to know that there is good even in evil and that the natives of South Africa realize that this is not their right, not the proper time and not the opportunity. This trouble is the fight of English capital, mine owners and exploiters, syndicalists, trade unionists and miners, of which the natives of South Africa are no appreciable part, either in aggressiveness or authority. But, thanks to human development, there comes a time in the life of oppressed people when the desire and urge for freedom and manhood gains the upper hand. And when this time comes (which is rapidly approaching) for the natives of Puth Africa and all sections of the "Dark Continent," and when the people have once awakened to race consciousness and the consciousness of solidarity with all of their lik and kind and begin to hope and strive for better conditions in their homeland, their stand by Africana at home and abroad then surely the cherished hope of a free people and a redeemed Mother will have been accomplished Mahatma Gandhi We read that Gandhi, the leader of the non-co-operationist movement of India, is arrested. The genius of mankind has not been able as yet to construct jails that will hold or suppress ideas. Don't forget what John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison and others suffered, but the Emancipation Proclamation was signed just the same. Carrie Nation, the anti-slavery advocate, had been dead for many years before her hope was realised, but we got prohibition, in fancy, if not in fact, and jails do not prevent men from thinking Gandhi does not believe that his people need a foreign ruler, he does not believe that his country, and his people should be exploited by a foreign and alien power. Some day in the near future this same thought will permeate the minds of all Africa. The writer likes Gandhi, his people look like mine. Chief Garvey some day may have to send out his orders from behind iron bars; some of the best men in the world may have to it. Jesus Ben Joseph was crucified, yet what a legacy he left to all mankind! "Green Eyed Envy" The fact that Marcus Garvey ha. accomplished so much in four years and has succeeded in organizing more Negroes under One God, One Aim and One Destiny than any other Negro that ever lived has aroused the envy of many so-called Negro leaders, and many of them have refused to support him or even attempt to offer constructive criticism against him. These Negroes have been made ashamed of themselves, because they have been outdistanced by this muchless master mind, and have allowed the envy and petty jealousy to get the better of them, and by so doing have provided themselves unit for real leadership. The "survival of the fittest" is still a potential factor in the lives of men—yes, even in leadership—that is why Garvey survives with a following of millions. MRS.

TAKING ADVANTAGE THE DE 6,000 Aliens Endeavoring to of 4,000,000 East Africa Who Resent Arrest of O No Match for Rifles; Assistance LONDON. March 17—Grave disquiet has been caused here by news of serious rioting in Nairobi in Kenya Colony, formerly known as British East Africa, following the arrest of a native called Harry Thuku on March 14. The Colonial Office understands that the arrest was mad on a charge of sedition, as information already had been received from the colony regarding Thuku seditious tendencies. The Governor of Kenya reports that the natives attacked the police lines where Thuku was detained. The police replied with rifle fire, killing twenty. The position at Nairobi, he added, was now orderly. A Central News dispatch from Nairobi, dated Thursday, gave the details of the outbreak as follows. Over 400 people were killed of them armed with large sticks, assembled outside the police station late last night and demanded Thuku's release. After the demonstration had been going on for about an hour the police force appeared on the scene armed with fixed bayonets. This caused the mob to disperse. "Early today a strike of all Kikuyu house boys and other workers was declared. Throughout the morning there have been further demonstrations calling for Thukuu liberation. Natives Refuse to Disperse "Several thousand natives living in the vicinity of the police station became so menacing that the riot act was read and the demonstrators were called upon to disperse quietly. This they refused to do with the result that order was disrupted by the military to fire. The demonstrations ceased shortly after midday. Twenty natives were killed and upwards of thirty injured. "It is now stated that the mob advanced toward the police pallisade waving flags and shouting. The men pushed their womanfolk in front of them, expecting this would prevent the police firing. A message was hurriedly sent for military aid, and the mob, on seeing the King's African Rifles approaching, rushed the pallisade, though they had been previously warned of what the consequences would be. Fire was then opened with ball cartridges, and the mob stamped. During Wednesday evening's disturbances, says another officer, the mob stopped the watch and forced all European to walk and walk. The situation derives gravity from the fact that $400 British settlers in the highlands of Kenya constitute the white aristocracy amid some four million natives. There are some thirty thousand Indian laborers. Land of Great Potabilities Kenya is a land of great possibilities to the agriculturist, forester and stockman, and it is said that the animal husbandry and economic value蕴藏 that cannot be raised in some part of it. In recent years attention has repeatedly been drawn to the opportunities it offers to the white settler. There are now about 50 European farmers there. The Kikuyu tribe, is one of three great subsistence tribes which is at WHEREIN IS OUR SECRET When His Excellency Marcia Garvey sent a calligraphy to Premier David Lloyd George on Sunday, March 10, to protest against the massacre of the defenseless natives of East Africa by armed British forces, the American leader, the Hon. J. W. H. Eason, said that while our people are being slaughtered the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the only organization protecting against the atrocitation. And herein lies the secret of the strength of this association. It is the only organization in the world concerning itself in Africa to the extent of shaping a tangible and definite program for the relief of conditions there. This is the thing that gives it a unique place in the hearts of the people and causes them to accept it as the one thing useful in the lives of us all. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is built upon a solid rock where foundation is God. Let the storm rage, and petty organizations and jealous individuals turn green with envy, this can do it no harm, for so long as truth is a virtue and justice has its reward, the principles of this organization will move on, and in its sweep will be included the four hundred million Negroes of the orid. The tyrann crumbles when he reflects that the Negroes of the action as serious Negro organization. Not the customary fawning, boot-licking organizations, but one passed upon the most accepted plan of reason, and one destined to win through the righteousness of its cause. The power of Marcus Garvey rests in the fact that he sticks close to the great Negro heart, and is thus able to discern the yearning of his heart and interpret it to the world. If other leaders would adopt a similar policy instead of wasting their energy fighting this man of destiny, their efforts would be more effective, and would become gannet leaders instead of the counterfeiters that they are. As God liveth "Africa for the Africans" shall become an acknowledged fact at a distance not far away. ROBERT L. POSTON. OF DEFENSELESS NATIVES to Steal the Lands and Wealth icans—Troops Fire on Natives Comrade—Sticks and Stones ; Africans Need Scientific such as the Miraal delight in pastoral pursuits and have no liking for manual labor. This has led to difficulties and to a system of compulsory labor Opposition has been shown by the white settlers to the proposal to give the Indians in the colony equal political rights with the whites and the non-cooperation movement was decided on by the Indians after Winston Churchill's speech at the Kenya dinner in London that month which they professed to regard as a contravention of the pledge given by them. The present riot, however, appears to have had nothing to do with Indian grievances. The white farmers and colonists depend entirely upon black labor for the cultivation of their estates, but the black man does not take hardly to work, so the problem is how to make him work. About two years ago a system resembling forced labor was applied not only for roads and railways and government works, but also for the white estate owners. Vigorous protests were made at the time in Parliament against this introduction of a system in certain aspects indisputable from slavery. At present the East African Protectorate has been severely hit by the world-wide economic depression and the white estate owners have been reducing wages, which, under the circumstances, it was natural enough and easy for them to do.

PERSIA BALKS AT LOAN WITH A "STRING" Persia Learns It Is Conditional on Oil Concessions ALLAHABAD, March 19.—A Teheran dispatch says that the Persian Government is not willing to accept £50,000 received from Washington against future oil royalties, because instead of the sum being an unconditional and separate loan, as was supposed, it learns that the loan is connected with the concession of Northern oil fields recently granted to the Standard Oil Company, and indicates an understanding regarding their respective interests between the Standard Oil and the Anglo-Persian companies. The Persian Government is trying to economize in order to repay its obligations, but with little hope of success, and a Ministerial crisis seems imminent.

The handwriting is there all right, but it is not length enough for them to decipher and translate it. Later on, they will see it in burning characters and understand the message it conveys. A modern prophet at Philadelphia, filled with worldly knowledge predicts an earthquake on or about March 18th. There will not be an earthquake March 18th nor on any other day in March 1923 nor any approaching one, so readers of this paper need have no apprehensions, no alarms about the predicted upheaval of terra firms in these garts on March 18th. The day will very probably be clear and fair with "night southerly winds" and a possible shower in the afternoon, and then the Philadelphia Geologist will be wondering where the "quake" he Will most likely readjust his instruments and perhaps fix another date in March of next year. The great Geologist upender is attending to His own business as usual and His business includes the regulation of the physical affairs of this planet, which embraces earthquakes, etc. He hasn't appointed any mortal to the date of these eruptions nor of the day of Judgment when there is to be some earthquake. As a matter of fact, the "big brain insects" who inflict this planet know too much about it that isn't so and they seem to be obsessed with it that the Almighty needs them to assist Him in regulating it and forewelling what is going to happen. He doesn't When He made man. He gave him domination over the earth in the sense that he was to subdue it and obtain from its bowels everything that was good for man's existence and happiness. The Almighty gave man domination over the waters of the earth, ditto over the fables in the sea and over the fowl in the air, ditto etc. "and over every living creeping thing." This is a big enough contract to keep men busy everywhere. The science of man cannot cope with the science of God and He will not permit man to claim dominion with Him in the physical regulations and adjustments which are constantly taking place on this planet without the knowledge of man. The mathematics of man-made science are not sufficient to comprehend or encompass the m. nematics of the efficient first cause or to grasp in its success and completeness a single one of the problems evolved from the Divine intelligence. Behold, we know not anything. We only think we do and it makes us feel cheery and that we are almost, if not quite, well informed about matters celestial and terrestrial as He who first spoke them into existence acona ago and locked up in His All Embracing Being the formula.

These envirable masculine objects to the tipping system are so cheap and mean, so narrow in their intellects and so supremely selfish that they would not give a dollar to the Lord unless they were permitted to follow it to its final destination, to make sure that it was wisely spent. The anti-tipper, when known to hotel waiters, bell hops, etc., usually gets what's coming to him in the way of tough stains, cold coffee, eggs of uncertain age, etc. The people who can afford to and who are generous to this class of poorly paid public servants usually get good service. The pie-faced anti-tipper gets indignation from eating the stale leaves of those who subscribe to the "live and let live" policy. Our women spend thousands of dollars yearly in the dry goods and millinery shops conducted by aliten races in this city and in other cities of this country, although they have the brains and ability to conduct shops of these kinds themselves and thus keep the money they are now pouring into the pockets of white shopkeepers in the pockets of the race. One big dry goods store and one big millinery store in Harlem could give employment to hundreds of capable women who now are eking out a precarious existence doing menial work. Wake up, colored women, and start something! Organize your brains and talent and mass your money into a battery and do something big. You can do it if you will stop and think what a vast amount of money you are pouring into the white man's coffees annually without receiving any adequate return beyond the cheap article which you purchase in these shops at prices far beyond their value. The white merchants will wash their hands in invisible water and bow and scrape to a Negro with $50 to $100 until he gets it all. Should that Negro, if he is qualified for a job in his shop, later apply to him for employment as a salesman, he would be told that such thing is impossible as his hands would go on strike. Yet we are fool enough to keep on pouring our money into these shops. Will we ever be wise enough to stop it? We observe from statements published in the daily newspapers that Senator Calder, who is destrous of reelection to his seat in the U. S. Senate, is now very much interested in having our friend, Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, given a position in this State by the President, commensurate with his political worth and intellectual ability. Senator Calder is a very wise man and a very far-seeking man and we should say he is also a man of good hearing and is still hearing the echoes of the great noise which followed the appointment of a white man as Collector of Internal Revenue of the port of New York which was Mr. Anderson's by right of service to party as much as the postmastermaster was Mr. Morgan's, whose intimate and thorough knowledge of the work of the Post Office of New York lately made him the logical successor of Postmaster Patten. There is no difference, except that Mr. Anderson, being a member of the Negro race, more liberties could be taken with him than with Mr. Morgan or his influential friend. We are glad that Senator Calder has seen a vision and that his colleague, Senator Wadsworth, will cooperate with him. He will also help to Chua, W.

Here they (Continued from last issue) The Maroon leader Cudjoe, as was held in the last chapter, on hearing of the proposed attack, sent a false tale of the Maroon location to Captain De Jemella and then marched several miles down the mountain to meet him. Here Cudjoe took his stand on the wooded rocks overlooking a narrow dale through which the enemy must pass. Dividing his force into four parts he stationed one at each of the four points of the compass, and lay quietly down to wait. At last the soldiers came on all tired from their climb up the mountain. Now they entered the defile. Cudjoe waited patiently until the last soldier had passed into the dale, then signalled to his men at the entrance to fire. Attacked from the rear, the soldiers wheeled around. No sooner were their backs turned than Cudjoe signalled the force on the opposite side to fire, then that on the官兵 found its mark. Almost every number were unserring, parkmen—the great difficulty of obtaining ammunition having made them so. The soldiers resisted as best they could by fire at the patrols of smoke, but struck on all sides by a bore they could neither see nor reach they at last fod down the mountains, leaving the greater part of their number dead or wounded. After this victory Cudjoe defeated several other bodies of troops against him. In spite of those successes, however, he began to weaken because of the increasing difficulty in putting gunpowder. In 734 Captain Ezekiel of the army of Maroon settlement situated on one of the highest peaks of the island, killing nearly every one. Many of the Maroons leaped from the precipices rather than be taken. Upon this reverse Cudjoe decided to move his entire following to another part of the island. To cover his retreat, his wily chief posted lone semiretreats at the old camp. The sentries by discharging firearms and blowing the main body of Maroon was still there. Many months passed before the slave-holders knew the truth. For the new settlement Cuddoes seated a spot near one of the most developed parts of the island. Here from its rocky fastnesses he would descend upon the plantations, wiping out settlement after settlement. One mature of Maroon warfare, as indeed the combat between blacks and slave-poisoned Indians was that pitiful side saw an enemy. The most fandish methods of torture imaginable were often practiced by both sides. After nine years more of ravaged plantations the slaveholders provoked around endurance decided to attack the Maroon again. Force after force was sent to capture Cudjoe only to meet with defeat. Driven to desperation the whites now decided to assemble every able-bodied man on the island, to penetrate the Maroon stronghold, to establish a position emballed under the leadership of Colonel Guthrie. But it was destined not to start. In the midst of preparations some one remembered the slaves. It all the able-bodied white men went off who would protect the women and children on the plantation? The Jamaican slave could not be trusted. At the first unguarded he would try to escape, sparing no one in his way. Maroon, natual slaves, as was said. After the special objects of Maroon hostage they told the slaveholders felt that something must be done. In this quandary the governor, Sir Edward Prelawney, decided that the only way out was to ask Cudjoe to come to terms. In the meaning Gudjoe, hearing all the details of the proposed attack from the slaves on the plantations had collected his force, selected advantageous posts on the surrounding hills, and sat down to await the enemy. A body of troops under Colonel Jupiter and Captain Sadler was sent to make a treaty. Gudjoe signified his willingness to listen. Selecting a spot from which by the rolling down of the slaves would have been easy to wipe the Gudjoe's entire force, he had the enemy's makers come on. care on their part and to inform them of the particular relative to their freedom and security which the governor had authorized him to propose to them. This being readily consented to, Dr Russell was selected for that purpose. He advanced very confidently towards their huts, near which he was met by two Mr. Moores, whom he informed of the purport of his message, and asked if either of them was Cudjoe. They called out in the Coromantes language to their people, on which several bodies of them, who were before invisible, appeared on the rocks above. Being within the reach of the voice, Dr Russell addressed himself to them, andugd a group of visitors, with permission with Cudjoe, of whom he spoke in high terms, saying that if he were with them, he was sure that as a brave and good man he would come down and shown a disposition to live in peace and friendship with the white people. "Sovereign Maroons now descended and among them it was not difficult to discover the chief himself Cudjoe was rather a short man, uncommonly stout with very strong African features and a peculiar wildness in his manners. He had a very large lump of flesh upon his back, which was partly covered by the tattered remains of an old blue coat of which the skirts and the sleeves below the aboys are white, and his head are gently piece of white cloth so very dirty that its original use might have been doubled. He wore no shirt, and his cloths, such as they were, as well as the part of his skin that was exposed, were covered with the red dirt resembling ooher. He had on a pair of loose drawers that did not reach to his knees and a small round hat with the rims pared so close to the crown that it might have been taken for a calabash. Such was the chief, and his men were as ranged and dirty as him, and he was a man of great cutliness. Cudjoe constantly cast his eyes toward the troops under Colonel Guthrie. He appeared very suspicious, and asked Dr. Rursell many questions before he ventured within his reach. At last Dr. Russell offered to change hats with him as a token of friendship, to which he consented, and was beginning to converse more freely when Colonel Guthrie called aloud to him, assuring him of a faithful compliance with whatever Dr. Rursell promised. He said that he wished to come under the protection of a gentleman of the island, who should witness the cath he would solemnly make to them of peace on his part, with liberty and security to the Maroons on their acceding to it. "Cudjoe, after some hesitation, consented to their coming forward, and persuaded his people to come down from the rocks, which a few did, but not without their arms. Colonel Guthrie advanced, holding out his hands, which Cudjoe seized and kissed." And so peace was made with the Maroons. Under the treaty they were given fifteen hundred acres of land, free from all taxes, and with permission to hunt anywhere on the island except within three miles of a white settlement. Cudjoe and his brothers, accompanying them, were appointed herdariar—chief. In return, the Maroons were to assist the whites in time of war and in putting down slave rebellions; they were to deliver up all slaves who had been with them less than two years, and to have two white men reside with them. At the eastern end of the island was another hand known as the Windward Marcao, who, under their chief Quao, had been causing similar trouble. An expedition was now sent against them Quao on the approach of the soldiers proved himself a master of strategy. Advancing to meet the enemy he built temporary huts, set pots a-boiling in the yards, scattered provisions and articles of clothing in the paths leading to the woods, and then hid his man in the surrounding woods. As the soldiers came up, the huts were set on fire. The boiling pots and stake of hasty flight. The soldiers, following the clues, chased into the woods, sure of victory. Falling, of course, to find the Marcao, they came back laughing and with broken ranks, unsuspecting of the hidden few eagerly awaiting them. Without a warning they found, themselves shot down on all sides. After this defeat Sir Edward Falakun made opportune to Quao, concluding soon after a similar treaty.

They number about 15,000. In recent years Catholic missionaries have gone among them and won many over to Christianity.

BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "THE SOUL OF JOHN BROWN" by Bernice B. Gould, edited by the Macmillan Co., New York, price. $2, postage, 10 cents extra. Fow Americans realise how interesting the Negro question in the United States is to the English. They want to learn about it. they come over here and write about it. No one of them has written so keen a book as Fannie Kemble's "Two Years on a Georgian Plantation," published nearly a hundred years ago. Fannie Kemble, the notress, married a slaveholder and came from free England to enslave Georgia. She could not stand it, and from the frank way in which she wrote I imagine the white South could not stand her. Stephen Graham has so intimate knowledge as Fannie Kemble, but he did his best while in America to see what they really exist, and his many years of travel among other peoples—he has written a number of books upon Rusia—makes him a wise and well-balanced observer. Some of the readers of Book Chat doubtless met him when he was colling the material for "The Soul of John Brown," a striking looking man, with reddish hair worn a trifle long and a gentle though strong face. Religious in the best sense of the word, he believes that "only Christianity can save color." But there is something of the militant Christian about him when he tells us that "there is such a thing as the wrath of God, and it is not incompatible with Divine Fatherhood and all my great Providence." John Brown is his hep, and he ends his story with "John Brown himself, if he should reappear and sweetened by what he saw happening in the world. His soul goes marching on, but it is still the soul of vengeance and wrath." To prepare for the writing of this book Stephen Grant spent some time in New York—we at the N. A. A. C P were fortunate in being able to give him material—and then started on his travels. He went into seven Southern States. He saw the industries at Newport News, talked with black riverians and chippers, and, to quote his own words, "went up the James River to Jamaicaown and on to Richmond, the city where he worked. I traveled to Lynchburg and Hamilton industries, went from thence to sober Knoville, investigating the race riot there and the attitude of Tennessee. From Knoxville I went to Chattanooga and Birmingham, in each of which great steel centers I met the leading Negros and investigated conditions. I was at Atlanta and walked across Georgia to the sea, following Sherman — a three-bundled-mile walk through the cotton fields and forests of Georgia. . . . From Savannah I went to Lynnwick and Jacksonville, from Pensacola and on from Florida to Columbia and the Gulf phantasmal. I journeyed to the Mississippi on a river steamed down the Negro city of Almond Bayou, was at Vickburg and Greenville and Memphis and then ensured once more to the contrasting North." 'The most picturesque part of this trip was the tramp through Georgia. No one else used the road for walking, and Mr. Graham was accounted passing strength. But his ready spirit of good fellowship won confidence and he found out much concerning Sherman's march, from the oldest inhabitants and much regarding the Georgia of today from his two observations.' His chimney up is like flailing. 'What Georgia is, and much much better today than it was in earlier days.' He also told me that he the colored race man who must be interested in reading what he wrote. He is generous in his estimates of the black man, kindly, but with a sense of humor. The further south he drops the more he sees the Negro neglected, his opportunities lessened. He is shocked that a library, bearing Carnegie's name, admits no colored reader. The lack of public schooling amasses him. He did not visit Hampton, but he was as near it as Norfolk, not because he doubted its good work but because he wanted to 'found his impressions on the poorer schools—on what was usual, not what was occasional. This is this spirit that makes his book so different from that of Archer or Maurice Evans, he was not hoodwinked by the spirit of philanthropy. Kindly toward the Negro, he is unsparing in his condemnation of the white southerner yet he recognizes that he exists inevitably the sure result of slavery "You can classify all faces into those who may please and those who do not, and the children of the slave owners are mostly in the second category Unqualifies mastery indifference to dirt and misery in the servant's class, celious mercury of others' pain, or pleasure taken in their hands.

Proverbs 23.7 It has long been thought or recognized that it is not food, clothes heredity or social position that makes a man in the truest sense, but rather first. Original thinking- touching the deeper soul life as well as the surface consciousness. We are in an age of subconscious psychology. Dr. O. W Holmes said that every personality is really three-fold, and true thinking in all three Jesus mission teaches to himself the person he was when he began to think. The great fulling off in the attendance upon so many churches of today is due to the lack of interest on the part of the minister in some instances and on part of new in others. We are the reflex of our thought-life. We cannot think one thing and express another. We just what our thoughts are, so are we. Many lives are not productive simply because there is no thought life. Many lives are narrow, mean and selfish, because our thoughts are like our manifestations. Out of the funness of the heart remembr our expressions, which are boundless and unbounded, it universally accepted that thought moves the body, but not generally admitted that thought is builder of the body. We know that thought moves members of body because we have before us the close sympathy between thought and act. Before I run, I think I will run. My legs in imagination begin to move swiftly before I begin the action outwardly. Thought doesn't only move the outward members of the body, but it has been proven through an experiment at Harvard University that when blood from place to place, and if this doesn't happen, say that it doesn't move that still move volatile substance, the magnetic force, which precludes all organism. Since our thoughts are here active forces, operating for or against us, it is very necessary that in our thinking we have an ideal to guide our concepta and original thinking consists not in disclosing new and great truths but rather in finding ourselves. Do when a man shall have found himself aided to rule others. It is the greatest task on earth, finding yourself. Gymmetric Thinking We all think, but in familiar grove. These days of specialization develop thinks of talking shop. We: need broader horizons of divine thought. Man being created in little lower than the angels, with heavenly capacity of soul; if he would think heavenly—he must think of life in a God queen. It then is a difference between the original thinkers, and the secondary thought. One has an animating center in youth, the prime in thought. One is the son of God, the father of the son of God. *THIS THINKING* We find the spiritual ad HEALTH TALKS By D. Gibson, Surgeon-General Cerebral hemorrhage is most commonly met with in persons over forty in whom the blood vessels are atheromatous, but it may occur in childhood or infancy. All causes that lead to degeneration of the arteries, such as rheumatism, gout, syphilis, alcoholism and Bright's disease, are very liable to cause atheromatous count of the association of cardiac hypertrophy with arterial degeneration. Hereditary prediabetes, inasmuch as members of certain families are particularly prone to atherosis of the vessels. The attack may be precipitated by mental or physical excitement, alcoholic excess or some reflex disturbance. In children it may be excited by a paroxysm of whewling cough or by a convulsion. Occasionally it occurs after diapheria or scarlet fever, the three diseases producing degenerative changes in the arterial walls. Symptoms Headache vertigo, disturbed sleep tinnitus aurium, and perhaps a sense of numbness or weakness on the side that is to be affected. Persistent vomiting sometimes precedes the hemorrhage. The Attack In many cases the patient fall, accidentally unconscious without previous warning. The face is flushed and the eyes are injected the lips are blue, the breathing sturorous the pulse is full and low, the temperature is at subnormal from snook, but is elevated from initiation. In main cases paralysis rapidly takes in unconsciousness develops gradually and some complete for twenty four hours. Cases of cerebral hemorrhage, loss of consciousness is very transient or wholly anting. Prognosis Always doubtful Persistent and complete unconsciousness, high temperature, loss of reflexes and entrapped respiration are unfavorable phenomena. When the attack does not prove fatal, there is always danger of recurrence, since the etiologic conditions still remain. CONCERT GIVEN AT NEW HAVEN DIVISION IN AID OF U. N. L. A On Thursday March 9 a grand con- tent was given by the Lady President Mrs. Floriano Tyson at Masonic hall for the senate of the New Haven Divi- sion. It was opened with an address of the president, master of ceremonies. He applauded members and friends to stand by theu'T N.

But it is the ability to subject the carnality of your being, by focusing your thoughts or the Christ of your being, and in this see no defeat in any righteous ambition. That people whose conscience have been awakened is a thinking folk, and all opposition gives us, to this dynamic force. Man was born to be being, and being is being our experiences prove this. Our understanding is the ego of our life, and around this revolves all selfish motives and ideas, born of a small mind. It is the error thought in our lives that robs us of the joy of living, the pleasure of serving and the grandeur of sacrificing for a cause that lifts a race or nation of people as well as ourselves. It is the one incentive calling us forth, daring and doing. It is the one urging impulse that makes us lose the ordinary and long tightly to the stimulus. When we strike the age we grow into the real life—the real nature of our nature. It. Centrified the This is thinking upon the higher last we descend to the lower and carol Judge Gary said, when he passed sentence upon the Chicago anarchists that "Thoughts are deeds and may become crime." Civil law, culture and refinement are helps, but not the real solution to centralized thought. It is in yielding yourself your thoughts to the Supreme Master of life. E Cady says, in her lessons on Truth, "There is nothing the human soul so longs for so cries out after, as to know God, whom to know aright in life eternal." With a restlessness which is pittiful to see, people are ever shifting from one thing to another, always hoping to find rest and satisfaction in some anticipated accomplishment or possession. Mon famy they want houses and lands, great learning or power. They pursue these things and gain them only to find themselves still restless, still unsatisfied. At the great heart of husbands and wives is deep and awful homeickness, which they have been and never can be satisfied with a thing less than a clear, vivid consciousness of the indwelling presence of God, our Father. In all ages earnest men and women, who have recognised this inner hunger as the heart's cry after God, have left seeking after things, and have sought by devoted worship and by service to others to enter into this consciousness; but few have succeeded in reaching the promised place, where their joy is full. Others have hoped and followed, alternately; they possessed knowledge they possessed to work but not inculpation, not yet having learned that there must be an inworking as well as an outworking." Centralized thinking will lead us into the "secret of life presence." This is not in a distance. But it is that place. In our lives where the Christof the Tells meets the consciousness and your bath. It is a place where in our minds also enter our heart. It is a place of infinite understanding where God sees. PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT The late Dr York Russell had the knack of making his personal visitors and his patients, too, very many of whom were his warm friends and admirer, feel loath to leave his home after making a friendly or business call on him. His sociable manner and winome ways created an atmosphere of cheerfulness that was as well meant as it was cordial and sincere. York Russell reduced the art of entertaining the stranger within his gates to a positive science. No fiber nor more polished nor dignified gentleman walked the earth than York Russell. Peace to his ashes. I understand that his late residence has been leased at a high rental for a term of years by one of our prominent physician, who will take possession of the premises in May next. Dr Russell in his lifetime built up a splendid practice in the city among people of both races. If his succession maintains the high standard of medical efficiency as a practitioner which characterised York Russell his career, he has no need having stared into the place made vacant by the hand of death of one of New York's most thorough prominent and capable physicians, barring none. Mrs. Flore Russell and son Chere will make the future home in Atlantic City, where they are now negotiating for the purchase of a house. The Russells have many friends and relatives in Atlantic City and the change from the old home at that Street will be an agreeable and pleasant one. There is only one Arthur Alfonso Schomburg, and he lives in the "City of Churches and graveyards and polished booth, which latter may necessitate an increase in the number of graveyards, if reports of the casualties over there continue to show such alarming results and such cheerfulness among the undertakers.

He has among his collection of books by Negro authors books that cannot be located in any of the great libraries. I remember when Mrs Elaine Clews Parsons, the owner of the banker and wife of the Negroman, writing her West Indian folklore stories, she wanted a certain reference book on the subject. She had spent days and hours at the 42nd Street Public Library for it, and the librarian and his assistants said they were not guilty that they did not have it and did not even know that such a book had been printed. Somebody then suggested to Mrs. arons that "go and see the Schomburg collection. She acted upon the suggestion, and one day drove over to Brooklyn in her high-powered limousine to the Schomburg residence, was heartily welcomed and given the freedom of the books. She spent the next few minutes, she found the book she had wanted for months. The lady almost screamed her joy and immerely began to take notes, but our book worm generally relieved the book, her self-imposed task by loaning her the rare book which she took with her to the Bahamas, where, I believe, she completed her "Folk Tales Tales." My young friend, Charles Douglas Martin, pastor of the Moravian Church. veals Himself to you in the fullest sense. Men through all ages have offered much and some their all to find this place of light, but it cannot be found through the mental side alone, nor through the physical, wholly. But come, let us reason together; let us become as a little child and, learning how to be still, listen to what the Father will say to you. The light you crave will come out of the deep silence and become manifest to you from within you. What we want is an inner revelation of God. It's talked with Jesus, though... Him the juller. Thomas was with him three years and found him in a moment to be My Lord and My God. Books and teachers are helped, but the Son of God lives in you and you must have his secret revailing to know him—which is life eternal.

Like Schomburg, he is a "Buk Wurm" carries an English Gladiolstone bag and wears gum shoes and a gold cross to ward off suspicion, so that the police have not yet stopped him and searched his bag. His low crowned Parent's hat, slit white collar, and soulful orb would melt the heart of any "Hootch Homom" at any hour of the day or night. Doc Martin's chief mission on earth is to save soula, build a brand new church and grab all the rarest Novo书籍, prints, etc., that are not nailed down in the shop where he deals. His middle name is uniquely. There isn't a reputable second hand book store in this city where he and Schomburg are not known. Sometimes one of these book ferrets get a 4 tip from a dealer about some rare item which one or the other has been knocked. Whichover of them receives the tip ferrets about a half hour or so, the other oneCIDENTALLY drops in and then they acquire about each other's family; talk about the weather, the latest lynchings or Harding's appointment to Dr. Jumper Jumblertea as Minister to Dahmer, then they rumble around the shop a few minutes together to find something new (except to latest item which is not mentioned). Finally, one of them, usually Schomburg, remembers an appointment at 6 or 7 p.m. and bachelor good be. Doctor then takes possession of his item, chucks it in his bag and flits homeward. Some days after Schomburg comes up to Harlem with a book under his arm and calls on Martin to see what he has new. Martin springs the "Item", Schomburg springs an older edition on the parson and they both laugh. Somebody had given Schomburg the tip also. I have just learned of the eminent physician who has taken over the practice of the late York Russell, M. D., and also his former residence in 123st street. He is a former Locum Temens of Dr York Russell, one on whom he had a high value as a medical practitioner, a skilled and careful physician and whom he often assigned to treat delicate and difficult cases when he had used his own office that he could not afford. Young doctors ability to treat these cases as he himself would treat them could be have gone to these patients, was a fine tribute to the professional ability of this rising young physician whose concepts of the Hippopotamion oath met entirely those held by the "Old Master," who had guided so many young and ambitious Negro physicians in this and other cities up the highway to professional success. He was aessful fond of this young man because of his modesty, reserve and great natural and acquired abilities and his knowledge of the theory and practice of his profession. He was studious and progressive and knew why the practice of his medicine about the practice of medicine and knowledge of the theory and practice of his profession. Dr P. M. H. Savory, whom I write, was one of the Dr. Russell's boys and he is a splendid type of the young Negro physician of the 20th Century. He was graduated from the McGill University at Montreal, Canada, took the Provisional Board examination and was registered in Great Britain, which carries with it the privilege of practicing in any part of the British Empire. Coming to New York shortly after he took the board examination in this State in 1919, passed successfully and began the practice of his profession in this city in September, 1919. It will be interesting to see how he interacted at McGill, Dr Savory was awarded the gold medal for the highest aggregate honors won by any student. This was an achievement, but not an unusual one for a member of a race which was born to scholarship. I congratulate Dr. Savory who has fallen hair to the mantle of York Russell, and to the splendid practice which the latter had built up in his lifetime. The doctor has leased the Russell residence. 244 West 11st street, for a term of years, and will take over the premise of the residence. Next in the meantime he will receive his own and any of Dr. Russell's former patients who may desire his services in Dr. Russell's former offices. I express the hope and wish that this splendid young physician will be as successful in his new home as was its former occupant whose patients included all classes and all races. For entertaining his best angel, Love. Who loveth most is nearest kin to God. Who is all love or nothing. FIRM PROTEST CABLED TO DAVID LLOYD GEORGE AGAINST REPORTED WANTON SHOOTING DOWN AND KILLING AND WOUNDING OF MANY NATIVES IN EAST AFRICA BY BRITISH POLICE—NO JUSTIFICATION FOR ATROCIOUS ACT—NATIVES WERE MERELY EXERCISING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday evening, March 19, 1922. No longer can it be said that Negroes are indifferent to wrongs done to any of their number merely because such wrongs may have taken place in far-off places or in distant lands, on the contrary, they are fully alive to all acts of injustice that are perpetrated against the race wherever it may be. In short, the Negro now manifests a race consciousness hitherto never exhibited, and is sensitive to anything that happens to his own people, whether it be in the Southland or in Africa. This accounts for the strong indignation shown tonight here at Liberty Hall when the Hon. Marcus Garvey read a press release report of the warman shooting down, killing and hounding of many natives of East Africa by the British police a few days ago, merely because the natives saw fit to assembly together in public to express their resentment against the arrest of one of their number. Mr Garvey read the article concerning this atrocity, as a basis upon which he asked for the approval by the audience of a cablegram which he proposed having transmitted to David Lloyd George, the British Premier, protesting against the East African affair. The cable was promptly adopted by unanimous vote after a sleout, frey addresses were made in support of his sentiments by Mr. R. L. Posten aged Mr. E. G. Carter, who respectively made the motion and seconded it. Though addressed to David Lloyd George, it was in reality its most significant statement was that "You have shut down a defenseless people in their own native land for exercising their rights as men. Such a policy will tend only to aggravate the many historic injustices heaped upon race that will one day be placed in a position to truly defend itself." --- Mr. Posten, in making the motion adopting the cablegram, asked the question: "O Lord how long, how long you Allow such injustice in be done?" If the people of India are weak in defending their leader in his fight for East Indian freedom such cannot be said to be the case of the native Africans, and in their protections and in the fight for liberty they will undoubtedly have the unanimous support and help of fellow members of their race in other parts of the world, nowhere more than in this country in a meeting was an unusually large one. The members were many distinguished members of the Executive Council present on the platform Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and the Rev. Dr. J. H. Eason were among the speakers, their addresses being listened to with great attention and enthusiasm. Redemption of Africa Mr. Garvey, who occupied the chair, spoke upon the subject "Why Africa must Be Redeemed." This was a sequester to the cablegram he proposed being sent to David Lloyd George. He again took up the question of the survival of the fittest race, and reasoned upon it in a very ingenious yet convincing way, showing that in the course of a few hundred years the wager races of the world, those unable to withstand the oppression and competition of the stronger races, will be pushed off the globe, as it were, and become extinct. He also deliberate plan or lot of the dominance and perior race of today. "That said, he is 'the end toward which this race of ones is tending, and the race that fails to read the signs of the times now and falls to prepare itself will only bring or invite danger and peril to itself in the future. That is why all India, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, is determined to have Indian independence, that is why the people of Egypt, under the leadership of the Nationalist party, were determined to have freedom for Egypt, that is why the people of Ircand, under the leadership of De Vadar, Collins and Griffin, were determined to have Irish independence; and in Liberty Hall the world warned Negroes throughout the world that unless you and I all of you get together with Africa and to redeem Africa as the final home of the Negro, our race will in another hundred or two hundred years find absolutely no accommodation on this globe. Must Make Fight Now Further on Mr Garvey said that while now there are 6,000 white settlers and 4,000,000 native East Africans, if the plans and ideas of the white people are carried out. "in another hundred years there will be 4,000,000 whites there and only 6,000 natives." This, he pointed out, is why the fight must be made now, "not by others, but must be made by you, and is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is appealing to the loyalty of Negroes everywhere." We may or may not think the matter concerns us because we are in the United States or in the West Indies, "but let me tell you, men, that America in another hundred years will be no place for the Negro, because it is the intention of the other man to get rid of us except we get together now to protect our interests not only in America, but throughout the world." The President - General's words, which seemed so truly prophetic and impliping, were heard with evident feeling of approbation by the vast throng that filled the hall and made a great impression on everyone. Teddy Davis, in the course of her admonition said that "this movement is God's empowering his people back to their native land. Africa; this movement helps for the greatest human pride and means the present age, and means the future of the world which the world will deserve thereby." Universal Negro Improvement Association, every Negro everywhere, do his and her utmost to bring about the joyful day when Negroes shall see a redeemed Africa, when the Africans can enjoy peace in their own home, under their own vine and fig tree; when they shall not have to bow the knee to Baal, when they shall be able to worship God with a freedom of consciousness, when they shall restore to Africa and to all the world the ancient civilization of the Ethiopian people of the world. Dr. Eason referred, in his eloquent manner, to the patriotism of the Negro. This patriotism of the Negro, he said, was nothing new; it was a trait the Negro had exhibited from time immemorial, and while in the last few hundred years since he had been taught from his ancestral land, he had been taught to joyfully embrace the flag and the national anthem of other nations wherein he had taken up his abode, he now has at last awakened to a realization and a desire to have a land and a flag and a nation and national anthem of his own, and this spirit and desire for Negro nationality and Negro independence was being instilled into the Negro by no other and through no other agency than that of the matchless leader of leaders. Fine Musical Program A fine musical program was given as a beautiful setting or background to the speechmaking, and enjoyed by everyone. The band and the chair, under Professor Isles and Professor Ford, contributed nibly their part. It was announced that on Monday evening, March 20, would be held a stockholders' meeting of the Negro Factories Corporation, and that on Wednesday, March 22, a stereotypical lecture would be given in Liberty Hall on the East India question and Matma Gandhi's arrest. On March 31 a banquet will be given for the benefit of the Death Fund of the U. N. L. A. which is expected to be a grand and notable affair. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Mr. Garryv's address was as follows: My subject tonight is: "Why Africa Must be Rodomed." Before I take up the subject, I desire to read a bit of news for your enlightenment. It is a press release that comes from East Africa, telling of certain conditions there—recent happenings. You will please pay close attention to the spirit of the news, which I will now read. A Central News dispatch from London, dated March 17, gave the details of the outburst as follows: 'LONDON, March 17—Grave disquiet has been caused here by news of serious rioting in Nairobi, in Kenya Colony, formerly known as British East Africa, following the arrest of a native called Harry Thuku on March 14. The Colonial Office understands that the arrest was made on a charge of sedition, as information already had been received from the colony regarding Thuku's seditious tendencies. "The Governor of Kenya reports that the natives attacked the police lines where Thuku was detained. The police roplied with rifle fire, killing twenty. The position at Nairobi, he added, was now orderly. "A Central News digraph from Nairobi, dated Thursday, gave the details of the outbreak as follows: "Over 1,000 natives many of them armed with large sticks, assembled outside the police station late last night and demanded Thuku to come along. After the demonstration had been going on for about an hour, the police force appeared on an army scene the armed with rifles. This caused the mob to disparse. "Early today a strike of all Kikuyu house boys and other workers was declared. Throughout the morning there have been further demonstrations calling for Thuku's liberation." "Several thousand natives living in the vicinity of the police station became so menacing that the riot act was read and the demonstrators were called to dispense quietly. This they refused to do, with the result that orders were given to the military to open fire. The demonstrations ceased shortly after midday. Twenty three men were killed and upwards of thirty injured. "It is now stated that the mob advanced toward the police palisade, waving flags and shouting. The men pushed their womenfolk in front of them, expecting this would prevent the police firing. A message was hurriedly sent for military aid, and the mob on seeing the King's African Rifles approaching, rushed the palisade, though they had been previously warned of what the consequences would be. Fire and balloons balloons balloons, and the mob stamped. "During Wednesday evening's disturbances, says another dispatch, the mob stopped rickshaws and fordled all Europeans to alight and walk." The situation derives gravity from the fact that 6,000 British settlers in the highlands of Kenya constitute the white aristocracy amid some four million natives. There are some thirty thousand Indian laborers. Land of Great Pachytiles. Kenya is a land of great potential to the aristocracy and to the agriculture industry, but it lacks three勇士 THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1022 British Premier Reminded That Oppression and Injustice Toward Weak and Defenseless People Tend Only to Aggravate Wars, and Cannot Last FOLLOWING UPON HEELS OF ARREST OF GANDHI IN INDIA NEWS OF OUTRAGE TO EAST AFRICANS STIRS LIBERTY HALL AUDIENCE TO WILD DEMONSTRA TION OF INDIGNATION — SPEAKERS VOICE SENTIMENTS OF NEGROES THE WORLD OVER, MINCING NO WORDS IN EXPRESSING BITTER RESENTMENT OF ATROCITIES Marcus Garvey Reiterates Theory of Survival of Fittest Race—Says Deliberate Plot Exists Ultimately to Exterminate Weaker Peoples PATRIOTISM OF NEGRO PRAISED—TAUGHT TO LOVE AND RESPECT OTHER FLAGS AND NATIONS, IS NOW AWAKENING TO CONSCIOUSNESS OF ESTABLISHING NATION OF HIS OWN—CREDIT IS GIVEN TO GREAT LEADER FOR CRYSTALLIZING INTO CONCRETE FORM SENTIMENT OF NEGRO NATIONALITY AND NEGRO INDEPENDENCE Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and Rev. Dr. Eason Among Speakera at Sunday Night Meeting—Stockholder’ Meeting and Lecture on East India Among Important Events of This Week—Big Banquet on Mar. 25 no animal, tree or crop of economic value to mankind that cannot be raised in some part of it. In recent years attention has repeatedly been drawn to the opportunities it offers to the white settlers. There are now about 3,000 European farmers there. The Kikuyu tribe is one of three great laboring tribes which are attached to agriculture. The other tribes such as the Dalai Lama, the pastoral pursuits and have little for manual labor. This has led to difficulties and to a system of compulsory labor. In those people's country, and because they saw the people in an attitude wherein they were indignant at what had been done to them, and they were not prepared to take any chances, they wanted to show how at a disadvantage those people were when attempting in any way to demonstrate against them as white overlords; and the best that they could do, these Christian dispensers of justice, of truth, of everything that is good, the best that they could do, was to show down those defenseless Africans. with themselves, they will continue to shoot us down, not only in East Africa but they will continue to shoot us down, everywhere. The time has come for Negroes to get together, and if any dying is to be done, let 400,000,000 of us die at the same time. (Applause. Therefore, in the spirit of disgust, rise to read this cailagram that is adressed to David Lloyd George, British Premier, and propose that, with your approval, it be sent to him immediately, expressing our feelings in this matter. "Opposition has been shown by the white settlers to the proposal to give the Indians in the colony equal political rights will. the white, and the non-co-operation movement was decided on by the Indians after Winston Churchill's speech at the Kenyan dinner in London last month which they professed to regard as a contravention of the pledge given by them. "The present riot, however, appears to have had nothing to do with Indian grievances. The white farmers and colonists depend entirely upon black labor for the cultivation of their estates, but the black man does not take kindly to work, so the problem is how to do it. "Ab out two years ago a system resembling forced labor was applied not only for roads and railways and government works, but also for the white estate owners. Vigorous protections were made at the time in Parliament against this introduction of a system in certain aspects indistinguishable from slavery. "At present the East African Protectorate is in a very bad way. It has been severely hit by the world-wide economic depression and the white estate owners have been reducing wages, which under the circumstances, are not enough to afford them to do. As a consequence, the serious outbreak is now reported." I have read this news to give you an idea of the conditions that exist in certain parts of Africa. The news shows that this is a colony wherein there are 6,000 white settlers—they call them "aristocrats" and 4,000,000 native. These 6,000 settlers, British settlers, are there because of the value of the land, the wealth of the land. They did not hide the fact that it is because of the wealth of the land, why these Brits were encouraged to settle there. The native people had a demonstration to express their disapproval of certain things that were done like all people when they feel disaffected. They were not allowed to institution, they show it by protesting in one way or the other. For instance, if anything should be done in the city here that does not meet the approval of the citizens, they would find ways and means of protest, of showing that they disapprove of what has been done. In all civilized communities men are allowed, even subjects are allowed the right, to protest and to show through demonstrations made in one way or the other, the extent of their protest. According to report, these natives had committed no overt act; they had not charged the police; they had not done anything to damage the property of the city, or anything of the kind. They had only met in a kind of demonstrative body, in their way, and all peoples find some way of demonstrating their feelings. In their own way they had assembled to demonstrate their feeling of disaffection against what was done to one of their own; and the people of the thousands of miles could do, to be charged these defenseless people, who had only sticks and stoe, as their weapons—charge them with guns, and shot down over twenty of them, killing twenty, and woundting thirty, the cowards that they are! They knew those people had no guns; they knew that all they had were sticks and stones. They, however, had the guns; they had bayonets; they had everything that placed them at an advantage, and all that the Christian feeling of love (7) could lead them to do, was to shoot down those people. Real Meaning of It All Now, let us get behind the surface and find out why the shooting was done. The shooting was done because these: $0.00 white "white" "white" "white" already written on the wall. We had six children. $0.00 white "white" "white" already written on the wall. We had right in those people's country, and because they saw the people in an attitude wherein they were indignant at what had been done to them, and they were not prepared to take any chances, they wanted to show how r at a disadvantage those people were when attempting in any way to demonstrate against them as white overlords; and the best that they could do, these Christian dispensers of justice, of truth, of everything that is good, the best that they could do, was to down those defenceless Africans. Now, this sort of thing has been going on for over five hundred years. If it were not for the Universal Negro Improvement Association this bit of news would have had no significance at all; no importance, because such has been the kind of news sent out of Africa for hundreds of years. If this bit of news had come from Ireland, if this bit of news has come from some of the white nations, some of the white peoples fighting for freedom and liberty at the present moment the newspapers in this country, the magazines of this country, and the statesmen of this country would raise a great howl about the savagery and the barbarity on the part of those who did the act. But because it is done to Negroes nobody pays any attention to it; it is legalized; it is made right; it is made just. Now you see the ones concerned, and that is why we have brought this matter before you. How Long? How Long? How long, how long: will 400,000,000 people be able to outrage them, to buttle them, to kill them, to main them, to abjure them? Just so long as these 400,000,000 people will keep cheerfulness and take these 400,000,000 people keep burgling; and this thing will not cut long: will 400,000,000 people be able to buttle them, to kill them, to main them, to abjure them? Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 4 Discussing the plans for better Government of the Negro people of Africa. 5 Discussing better international representation and protection for the Negro people of the world. 6 Discussing ways and means of fostering and protecting independent Negro nationalities in Africa and elsewhere. 8 Discussing the future religious faith and belief of the Negro. 9 Discussing ways and means of improving the industrial output of the Negro. 10 Discussing ways and means of better steamship communication between the Negro people of the world and the expansion of the Black Star Line. 11 Electing and appointing of competent leaders for the administrative control of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its auxiliary movements. with themselves, they will continue to shoot us down, not only in East Africa, but they will continue to shoot us down, everywhere. The time has come for Negroes to get together, and if any dying is to be done, let 400,000,000 of us die at the same time. (Applause.) Therefore, in the spirit of disgust, I rise to read this cablegram that is addressed to David Lloyd George, British Premier, and propose that, with your approval, it be sent to him immediately, expressing our feelings in this matter. 10 Downing Street, London. Tour hundred million Nagroes through the Universal Negro Improve- ment association hereby register their protest against the brutal manner in which your government has treated the natives of Kenya, East Africa. You have shot down a defenseless people in their own native land for exercising their rights as men. Such a policy will only tend to aggravate the many historic injustices heaped upon a race that will one day be placed in a position to truly defend itself, not with more sticks, clubs and stones, but with modern implements of science. Again we ask you and your government to be just to our race, for surely, we shall not forget you. The evolutionary scale that weighs nations and races, balances alike for all peoples; hence we feel sure that some day the balance will register a change. "MARGUS GARVEY. "Provisional President of Africa." This cabigraph, with your approval, we will send to the British Premier, because we want to register not only with British men, but with the world, our protest and our determination that we shall not tolerate outrages of this kind for long. We are men; if we are fit to live, then we are fit to die, and no man can die for a greater cause than that of liberty, the cause of his own freedom. The whole world is now in an upatr, because all oppressed people are fighting for their liberty. At this time I believe that all the while RIGHTS the fight is going on in India. I hope it on. It is going to go on in Africa. And I am glad of this new spirit in Africa. We have to think ourselves for creating it (Applauses) because once upon a time those poor natives were probably too ignorant to know that they could protract against anything done to them by the white man. But what did they do according to the information we have just received? They stopped all the public vehicles, and told those white robbers in them to get out and walk! Now, that shows some new skills anyhow, how easy carriage that would be, and told the companies to get out and walk (Laughter). That shows that they are coming doesn't it? (Renewed laughter and applauses). The only handicap they had, was that they had sticks and stones. Now, it is for you men and women who are mixed up with modern civilization for three hundred years to give them something else besides sticks and stones. You have to give them the latest output of science. I won't tell you who that is (Offices of "We know!") It means that you and I must get busy now, because all that the Africans now have are sticks and stones, and they cannot do anything with such weapons or means of defence.

COMMISSIONER MORALES INSTALS NEW BOOKKEEPING SYSTEM AT JATIBONICO, CUBA, DIVISION Cubans Anxious to Hear and Comprehend Principles of U. N. I. A.—Commissioner Morales Addresses Audience in Both Spanish and English Dy PRINCE A. SIMON JATIBONICO P O. Prov do Camagues, March 18, 1922.—Ever since our little Division, No. 468, was organized here by the Hon. Luther Haldane, President-Commander of the Jobabone Division, U. N. L. A., we were ever anxious to have among us the presence of the so much heard of High Commissioner to Cuba, the Hon. Eduardo V. Morales. Unexpectedly we received a letter on Wednesday, the 8th inst., announcing the arrival of the honorable gentleman to be on Thursday the 8th, when he was met by our noble President-Commander, Mr. Philip E. Simon, and the Executive Secretary, Prince A. Simon, at the railroad station. Immediately after his arrival he EVERYBODY SHOULD GET FINANCIAL Appeal to All Members and Officers of U. N. I. A. by President-General Fellow Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby requested to make a new effort for the year 1921-1922 in paying up all dues and assessment taxes according to the Constitution. The parent body is now making Herculean effort to have all the members of our great movement in line for our forthcoming convention. Presidents, secretaries, all officers and members should work together co-operatively for the bringing about of better results in all divisions so a. to strengthen the hands of the parent body in carrying out the great work that is before us. Each member should make an effort (as it is a bounden duty) to pay up the $1 reservation tax for the year, which should have been paid since January. It is only by paying this tax that each and every member becomes financially up to date. It takes a large amount of money annually to carry on the work of the parent body, and this is obtainable only from the support that each and every member gives. We are also asking that each member between now and convention, which will be from August 1 to 81, to make an active campaign in his or her locality to enroll at least 100 members in the division; that is to say, each member is supposed to enroll 100 new members in the association between now and the opening of the convention. All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world will be expected to do like-wise, so that there can be a universal growth in our membership. Secretaries are asked to be principal in making their monthly reports. See to it that your divisional report reaches the parent body not later than the 5th of each month. If each and every member of the association will do his or her duty there is no reason why 1923 will not become a master grant for the organization. All members should get their Constitution so as to be in a position to understand thoroughly the aims and objects of the association as well as the regulations by which our membership is governed. I have the honor to be THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1922 CANDIDATES WHO HAVE PASSED CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION OF U. N. I. A. NOW READY NOW READY All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office. By Order CHANGIUNOLD. Bocas del Toro. Feb. 12, 1922 - On February 11 commissioner for Bocas del Toro, Dr E. L. West, visited the division here. I have come to reorganise this once flourishing division," said Commissioner West and to have elected fit and qualified officers for the transaction of business and to regulate the entire work of the division. Songs and anthems, including "Ethiopia." and speeches were made. Short talks were made by the lady president, Mrs James Terry, Mr W B. Whittier and others. Mr. Elijah Bonner also made a short address. DELHI, British India, March 20.— The Assembly today finished debate on the budget, which has been reduced by a total of 95 lacs ($8,022 000). called for the books. He made a careful review of them, and found them all right to date except that we had not a proper bookkeeping system. He has instructed us in the right way and we can boast of a bookkeeping system second to none. After auditing our books he found that all the funds of this Division were intact to date—September 25, 1921, to March 10, 1922. We take this medium to congratulate the High Commissioner for his valuable instructions and helpful information. Our mass meeting was opened in an appropriate manner by singing our opening ode, "From Greenlands a Ice Mountains," followed by prayer. The president delivered the opening address by saying: We are here to do the High Commissioner honor. At the close of his address he asked for a strict attention to all that would be said and done by the H. C. The next speaker was Brother Thomas Osborne, chaplain of the Ciego de Avila Division. The credentials of the High Commissioner were then read, both in English and Spanish, and a letter from the Cuban Government showing the diplomatic relationship which exists between this government and the U. N. I. A. Two thirds of the audience being native Cubans, they were anxious to hear and understand the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. They were all kept spellbound for two hours and five minutes by the eloquence of the High Commissioner. His powerful tone of voice brought the natives from all around, who were also chained to the High Commissioner's address. At the end of his Spanish address the little man turned to English, and for one and a half hours he proved to us that he is just the kind of leader we really need here in Cuba. By this the knockers of this giant movement, the U. N. I. A., will know that they are knocking in vain, for we of the Jatibonico Division, No. 468, are determined to go to the extrima, because we are conscious of the fact that Africa will be redeemed within the next five years. LIKES TILFORD'S ARTICLES Editor of Negro World Permit me to voice my appreciation on the timely and practical articles written by J Jackson Tilford in the World from time to time This writer seems to have a peculiar ability of seeing all around any subject he discusses, and makes his thoughts so vivid and clear that even a schoolboy can understand them. His pen was the cause of my taking a more serious interest in the cause he fight for. This I gladly admit, and I feel sure there are many others who can say the same.

S Kanawa. Our worthy chapplain, Mr R. S F Blake introduced our high esteemed president, Mr A J Burrel, to the chair. In his usual style and manner he interested his hearers with a heart-to-heart talk as to the aim and object of the U N I A. and appealed to us to try our best to keep up our high social aspirations until our aim is achieved. After an organ recital by our organist, Mr. Arona, the president introduced Mr. Jackson. In a master speech he kept his hearers spellbound for a quarter of an hour, saying it was an honor to be with us in Banes and also to be among so many people at one time. As the Banes Liberty Hall is one of the largest in Cuba, and at this time, though everything is on the lowest obb. yet the hall was packed and a large crowd waited outside.

He also made a brilliant address, calling upon the members to continue their forward march until their aim is achieved. At this juncture a beautiful solo was rendered by our lay president, Mrs E. Moodie. Our friend and brother, Mr Garrett of the B. B. Kanawa was called upon to address the meeting. Mr Garrett spoke on physiology and psychology, explaining the meaning of the words as well as describing the human body in all its form. Mr Garrett is a great scholar and the right man in the right place. He should be respected as one of the leading men in this great Negro race of ours. The chief thing of importance that occurred on Sunday night was the swearing in of the officers and men of the legion. The president made a very able speech in charging the officers and men, reminding them of their vow and their duty to the motherland, and entreatting them to live up to such high ideals that they may be looked upon as other nations of the world. The first vice-president was then called upon to charge the men. In his usual powerful way he charged the men of the legions, about thirty in number, advising them that their duty is to stand fast, acquit themselves like men, and fight as the time is near at hand when every Negro must stand under his own vine and fig tree, and that the time is come and Ethiopia is now stretching forth her hands, and God is now accepting the hand, and His people must be free. Our aim is to fight, fight, fight until we hear the sweet refrain Garvey has irumphed and Africa is free. HON. MARCUS GARVEY VISITS ROCHESTER DIV. ROCHESTER, N. Y—The division of the U N I.

Marcus Garvoy said that there are four hundred million Negroes in the world, and that the time had come for them to have a nation of their own. The association has been formed with the purpose of uniting all these distributed all over the world. He said that the continent of Africa was given to the Negro by God, but that it had been stolen away, together with its rich resources. The association is ready to make the demand that the countries now occupying Africa return it to its rightful owners. His Excellency called attention to the fact that Ireland had obtained its freedom after a fight that lasted for centuries, and in which much blood had been spilled and tremendous sacrifices made.

Corporation and allied corporations, fathered by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The members throughout will, we are sure, voice our sentiment when we say that we will stand by our leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey, through fire and water" until Africa be redeemed and the Negro peoples of the world be totally emancipated. THANKS DIVISION FOR THEIR TRIBUTE TO HIM THANKS DIVISION FOR THEIR TRIBUTE TO HIM Commissioner E V Morales writes from Cuba, under date of March 6 Permit me, through the medium of your most valuable paper, to thank the divisions that have published letters of appreciation for my feeble, yet strenuous, efforts to remit into one commonwealth, whose all Negro demolished in the entire Republic of the under the protecting wings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest movement now in existence Of course it takes a real sincere and loyal man to the cause to continue to labor under the many difficulties and to finally overcome the many obstacles that are being placed in one's pathway of progress from all sides. Therefore, though I at times become somewhat discouraged, and the haven of success looks gloomy and dreary. I would read the beautiful letters of appreciation from those among whom I am laboring, thus enabling me to forget the spurious ideas and selfish motives and actions of those who are not capable of appreciating the good that one may do for this noble cause of illumination and racial advancement. I feel proud to announce that I am still on the broad road of Perseverance with the award of Self-determination in my hand. I am leading the way fearlessly onward to the City of Success, where we expect to plant the colors of the Red, Black and Green on the platform of Equity and Justice in the very near future. The financial condition in Cuba is still horribly felt from Oriente to Pinar del Río, but, as I am not in the movement for what I can get out of it, but rather for what I can put into it, I am of good courage to continue faithfully and loyalty to the U. N. I. A. and its aims and objects until Africa be proclaimed absolutely free by and for the "Africans at Home and Abroad." You shall be pleased to learn that the following divisions under my jurisdiction are determined to keep up the fight to the end: In the province of Oriente Cayo Mambi, Antilla, Quaro Marane, San Geronimo, Banes, Guantanamo (English), Guantanamo (Spanish) Santiago, Niguero, Central Socorro, Palma Soriano, Rio Cauto, Jobabo, Manati, Chaparra, Delicias San Manuel and Puerto Padre. In the province of Camaguey Camaguey Florida, Cespedes, Ciego de Ovila, Jathionero Morola, Sola. Nuvitas. In the province of Santa Clara: Remedios, Calibaren, Sagua la Grande. In the province of Havana there are two one division and a chapter In Pinar del Rio there is but one Owing to the geographical location of these divisions it becomes somewhat perplexing to know which one to visit first. Then the Cuban trains are never in a hurry to their destination if they do not jump the track, they are sure to stop at every other station to drink coffee or wait an hour or two for a cane train to pass. The following will give you an idea of what I experience when visiting the various divisions. If I leave on the 10 15 a.m. m train for Antilla, I may give to Alto Codro station at 12:20, 1 p.m. or any time it cares to arrive then I must transfer to the Antilla train, where I may have to wait until 3:20 or 4 p.m. or whatever time the Havana train chooses to make its appearance. before I can leave for Antilla. Two trains leave Antilla in the morning—7 45 and 10 15 a.m. respectively none enters in the morning Two trains enter Antilla in the evening none leaves. so I am compelled to sleep in Antilla. When leaving Antilla for Chaparra I must change that train to the Santiago-Havana train. When I arrive at Cococum I must again change to the Holguin train. On reaching Holguin I am compelled to sleep there Next day at noon I again change to the Gibara train. On arriving at Iberia I must make another change to the Chaparra train, which will take me through Delicias, San Manuel and Puerto Padra. If I want to visit any other towns beside those just mentioned, I will have to return by the same route and make the same changes. In short, this changing stunt must be kept up right through, if I am to visit the divisions under my jerudi- dition.

She is eager with a fervent desire to outstrip the very demons of ball and, at last reach the goal aimed for by the four hundred million Negroes of the world-AFRICA, OUR FATHERLAND. On Monday and Tuesday nights, March 6 and 7, respectively, many earnest members and friends were carried, in a vision, back to the Garden of Eden in the form of an oriental bazaar staged at the Liberty Hall, 1035 Jackson avenue, by Division No. 149. The hall, with its walls of Nile green, was beautifully decorated with stream- ers of the royal colors—Red, Black and Green. Booths led the aisles and each was styled as an estate ruled by duke, lords, courts and princes. The most delicious delicacies were served a la Africana. My Missy Baptist, winner in the style show, was beautiful to behold in her Parisian modelled gown of blues canron crepe trimmed with silver cloth. Too much praise cannot be given the Executive Secretary, Mr William Phillips, for he has worked assiduously with us in trying to build us up both financially and numerically. Through his plans the treasury is being reimbued and the bazaar proved a grand success. Team-work is expedient for the success of any organization. The New Orlean Division has come to the realization of this fact, for the committee worked diligently and harmoniously. Obstacles here around us lurk. Our feet they seem to entwine.

Think of it, as His Excellency, the President, has said: "A quiet and a peace-loving people, serving their God as they understand their God"—and their God is a God of peace and contentment—interfering with no other part of the habitable globe; and yet this armed bully, this arrogant self-seeker, has gone into our very homes and charged us therel. O. God, why do you allow it to be? Why don't you kill them? Pardon me if, in my frailty, I express that which I understand: And, sir, I offer a motion that this cablagram be sent to David Lloyd George, as a warning to him and as expressing the sentiments of the 400,000-000 Negroes of the world. (Applause) Mr. G. E. Carter, special assistant to the President General, then arose to the motion, and spoke as follows: His Excellency, Provisional President of Africa; Members of the High Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen—I rise to second this motion because I am satisfied it expresses the awakened consciousness of a people who understand and readily enter into a spirit of sympathy with their depressed and oppressed brothers and sisters in their native land. And because of our sympathy for the cause and because of our determination, and because of our seet and seal in this direction, we are sending forth an expression to the civilised world, telling the world that through unity and through organised force there shall come a determined effort that must be reckoned with in the end; that the Negro, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, assembled here tonight, is saying to Great Britain that we understand their sessions. In this particular matter and, with we recess with all our hearts and with all our power the very thing that she is doing to our brothers and sisters in Africa. Therefore, I second this motion. (Applause.) Motion to Cable Lloyd Geerne Rev. Dr. Bacon, the American leader, then took the chair he put the motion before the house for a vote and said in the part: "Do you hate my friends that our own friend and blood has been and to be bear thick, strong, healthy and these stubs blood has been." NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MARCH 25. 1922 the only universal movement in the world—the U. N. L. A—that has manhood enough to send out a protest to the world against these outrages that comes from the very depths of our heart? But we are preparing to be able by and to march 400,000,000 strong to redress the wrongs that have been beheaded upon us and that are now being heaped upon us. Listen, friends. This is a wonderful thing. This cablageam, with your approval, will be sent to the head of the leading government in the world, and through the press will be sent to all parts of the globe, that the whole world may know that we are not thinking for ourselves, but thinking for our brothers and sisters in far-off, distant parts, in our motherland. The American leader thereupon put the question, after which the motion was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, amidst great cheering and applause. Mr. Garvey Resumes Resuming his address, Mr Garvey spoke an follows For a few minutes more I will speak on a subject. Why Africa Must Be Redeemed. There is a world-wide effort for the subjugation, the exploitation and ultimate extermination of the weakest peoples of the world. This plot has been laid for some time. It is now being engineered in all accruences by several of the well-developed and powerful races of today. It means that in another short while—not short in the sex of time as we count it, but in the sense in which historians reckon it—in a short while, in another few hundred years it is calculated that only a certain race will occupy this world. That is to me the fittest race, the only race that believes itself worthy of surviving, the race that you know as he do, that is proud, haughty, arrogant, that race that lusts to see anyone else but those of its own kind advance and use in the scale of civilization. There is a serious plot laid, and that is now engineered that only that class of people, that type of people, that race of people, will be found here in another couple or a few hundred years, except the weaker peoples, the undeveloped peoples get together now, in their own habitats and among themselves, to see that their rights are protected and their liberty insured forever. The average mind cannot understand, the average mind cannot grasp the significance and the importance of the situation, not even the ordinary mind of that group that is engineering this plot knows anything about it, because all changes that are beneficial to the group, to the race, or to the nation, are generally engineered by those who have been selected by the group or the race of the nation to do the thinking. That is in regulated society. You have people of different classes following different workers, activists, artisans, tradesmen, professional workers, while others are the thinkers. In these modern days we call the thinkers statesmen. We may have but ten real statesmen in a nation of a hundred million people, we may have but two statesmen in a nation of sixty million people. But these ten men in the nation in the nation of a hundred million people do the thinking for the rest of the hundred million the two statesmen of the race or nation of sixty million do the thinking for the rest of the sixty million, and the rest of the sixty million will see themselves going into certain changes and betaking to themselves new conditions without even knowing how the conditions or the changes are brought about. They are only secondary to the act of those who lead, and I am saying to you that those who think for the other peoples of the world have laid the plot that in another couple of hundred years only a certain type of people will live on this earth, and this earth won't be large enough to accommodate any other but that type—that is, provided those other people keep themselves weak, and allow them to remain strong. It is a question of these other people, whomsoever they may be—and you know who they are—who will push off the face of the globe the unprepared, the unprotected and the unorganized peoples of the world as they come in contact with them in the higher development of things human. World Becoming Smaller The world, as I have said, is a circumscribed area. It does not become larger year by year, decade by decade or century by century. If we follow the rules laid down and the statements given out by the authorities we will accept the fact that the world becomes smaller because of the amount of waste that goes on. Therefore, while the world is not growing larger in its circumscribed area, the human race is constantly multiplying. Certain races are becoming more numerous century after century, and as these races by their strength, by their progress, grow more and multiply more, the more do they become aggressive in pushing off the land others that are too weak to combat them—pushing off so as to take advantage of the space that they (the weak) once occupied. As for instance, a few hundred years ago a certain type of people lived on this North American continent, called the North American Indians. Certain people who had outgrown themselves in Europe and wanted new fields for expansion, set out for this North American continent, and they came in contact with weak men—men who were not prepared to resist them. What did they do? They combatted them, they fought them and they ultimately killed them, buried them and took away the land. The result was that the land that was occupied by that weak race has become the property of the one who was strong enough; to wrest it from the weakest, and ultimately occupy it. When these people who came in contact with the North American Indian arrived here there were but a few hundred. They multiplied to a few thousand; they multiplied from a few thousand to a few million, and they have multiplied to a few million to 98 million. If indians that when the North American Indians were here there were poor and the few million were 80,000,000 occupy today cannot be occupied by any other people. Any surplus must find new settlements. Let me try to bring to you the idea I want to convey: As the American white man has multiplied in America within the last few hundred years from a few hundred to nearly 100,000,000, so will the other races in the world multiply from 1,500,000,000 to probably five billion in another 800 or 1,000 years. As an increase of 90,000,000 people could not occupy the same position or space that the 90,000,000 in American now occupy, so when in years to come the human race will have multiplied considerably now room must be found for those who have multiplied in this larger number. It means, therefore, that the race that is strong or that has become move numerous, as that race becomes more numerous and weaker races exist alongside of them they will ultimately push off the weaker races to make room for the growing stronger races of which they are members. It means that America does not grow larger to accommodate the increasing number which the 90,000,000 will multiply to, so the world will not become larger to accommodate all of the one race, and in another 800 or 1,000 years it will mean a question of the survival of the littest race. Make a Nation of Africa That is the end toward which all races of the world is tending, and the race that fails to read the signs of the times, to prepare itself will only open itself to great dangers and perils in the future. That is why the people of India, under the leadership of Gandhi, are determined to have India free. That is why the National party of Ireland is determined to have complete Irish independence. I am warning you in Liberty, Haiti and throughout the world except you and I and all of us get together now to make Africa the national home of the Negro. In another 200 years we will find absolutely no accommodation on this globe of ours. That is the situation. As the white man of Europe came here hundreds of years ago and settled down and ultimately exterminated the North American Indian, so it is that he has set out and gone into Africa to settle down. There are 6,000 whites in East Africa to a population of 4,000,000 natives, and except these natives get together, in another 200 years you will have 4,000,000 whites and 6,000 natives. That is what it means and that is why a fight must be made now and must be made, not by others, but must be made by you. And that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to the loyalty of its members everywhere. We may think we are not concerned because we live in America and because we live in the West Indian Islands. Let me tell you, men, that America, in another hundred years will be no place for the Negro. It is the intention of the white man to get rid of us, and except we get together to protect our interests, not only in America, but throughout the world, by building up a mighty nation in Africa which will stand the test of time, your position and mine and the position of your children will never be permanently secured in the world. Making a Nation Our Salvation That is the whole situation of the race. You need not look for hope, and that is why I ar so stubborn or determined that the Negro must have a nation of his own. That is why I am so determined that Africa must be redeemed and that we shall have a government there to none so that when the strong races seek to cater minute us, when they make up their minds to wage a battle for the survival of the fittest, you and I will stand here until Gabriel blows his horn. It is no use trusting to change. Six thousand men are now holding down four million' Why? Because they have only sticks and stone, while the other six thousand people have bayonets and other things. The idea is to gift bosses- ENTHUSIA INDIFFERENCE new ness and private use. ENTHUSIASM is the From the time Marcia and his race.

Now, such a program must appeal to every Negro. Why shouldn't? When these factories are put up and are in full operation, employment will be given any man who will be willing to work. They will not be wanted to meet job needs. Of course, you understand that there is no disguise in any kind of work—but there will be positions Dry Landmen, Amusementmen and so on. sion of everything that the other man has now. That is the thought I want to get into the minds of the Negro peoples of the world. Therefore, this is not time for you to remain around here fighting and bickering with each other. This is the time for us to present to the world the best within us—the best technically, scientifically and in every way, because we are drawing near to the period of the survival of the fittest. (Applause.) Hon Dr J W H Eason, American leader, was the first speaker of the evening and said. May it please Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Your Excellency the West Indian leader, Right Hon. Members of the High Executive Council, Officers and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen on the Rostrum, Fellow Citizens of Africa assembled here tonight, I am again extremely fortunate in having this splendid opportunity to speak to you briefly on this most auspicious occasion. We are assembled here to use our minds especially to think out plans by which the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world may be free and a lasting heritage handed down to our posterity lifting them up to the position of real men and real women, and while thinking upon something to talk about tonight I have decided that the best thing I could make mention of for the few minutes that I shall be before you would be to discourse upon Negroes Devoted to Africa As well as the Negro loves Old Glory, as well as he admires the flag of the Stars and Stripes; as patriotic as members of them have been under the banner of John Bull, and under the flags of France and Germany, even of Belgium, and Spain, and Norway, and Sweden, and all the nations of the world where Negroes have marched to battle to the tune of the martial music of those nations—as proud as they have been and as wonderful as their achievements have been under such circumstances, they now have the same respect for others they once had, but added to that respect they are also enthused with the idea of love and devotion to a land of their own—the native home, their motherland Africa. (Applause) New Patriotism Has Come Over the Neuro This new patriotism has come over the Negroes of the world to such an extent that they have become entirely possessed with that spirit, that determined spirit which has made them declare that we will not rest by day nor sleep all night, a single night till Africa at home and abroad is redeemed. (Applause). Every youth in every land understands that there is a picture of something that they cannot altogether explain that comes over them when they recite the patriotic ode of their forefathers. Every youth in every land realizes that in order to get to higher heights and accomplish the most wonderful things possible to be accomplished they must get inspiration from the heroes and patriots in times that are past. This new patriotism that we are talking about does not teach our people to love others less, or to cease to respect law and order wherever they may be, but the spirit of patriotism which has come over the Negro peoples of the world today, has taught them that what they enjoy now belongs to somebody else, and in order to develop themselves to the fullest extent they must develop their own motherland Africa. (Applause). And thus the Negro peoples of the world are learning to love that which belongs to them, not that they love others less, but that they love Africa more. New Spirit Not Upontaneous And as we observe the Negro peoples of the world we find that this new patriotism came over them almost rudely, and yet it did not come spontaneously. Why? For years and years there has been a yearning in the hearts of the Negro peoples of the world to get something by which they could ask God Almighty to redeem their motherland Africa. This was seen in the early patriots who went from the West Indian Islands and from the United States to the settlers in Liberia. It was seen in the wonderful and magnificent spirit of the late McKinley Turner who declared that two peoples of different races could not live equally under the same flag. It was also seen in the wonderful spirit of that man of destiny that man among men who spent a number of years of his life in the motherland Africa preparing a way for the coming of a brighter day—I refer to the late Bishop Alexander Walters. It was seen again, in the other patriotic Negroes who made pilgrimages to Africa from time to time, in order to inquire how their brothers were faring and report their findings back to the other Negro peoples of the world. But it remained for the leader of leaders, the giant of giants the prophet of prophets, the poet of poets the philosopher of philosophers, to create this sentiment into a concrete movement that can be touched and grasped and held by the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world—His Excellency Marcus Garvey, (Great appeaseur). And this patriotism that is being propagated by him throughout the world has grouped the millions of our people to such an extent that it is impossible for them to turn loose now until all the plains and the mountains and the valleys and the rivers and the lakes and the gulfs and everything else in Africa are completely in charge of the Negro (Applause). We want Jehovah to give us the Negro peoples of the world) the spirit of Hannibal, the spirit of Toussaint L'Ouverture, the spirit of Douglass, the spirit of Phillip Wheater, the spirit of Washington, the spirit of Antonio Maceo, and last but by no means least, we are Jehovah to give to the Negroes everywhere the, love for Africa and the spirit of Marcus Garvey. (Applause.) "Ethiopia, Theu Land of Our Father's" As long as America shall sing their "Star Spangled Banner," "Hall Columbia" and "My Country Tie of Thee"; as long as the citizens and subjects of Great Britain shall sing "God Save the King" as long as the inhabitants of German) shall sing "Watch on the Rhine" as long as Austrians shall sing "God Bless Our Emperor"; as long as the people of Hungary shall sing "The Lord Bless the Hungarian"; as long as the Danees in Denmark shall sing "King Christian Stood Beside the Lofty Meat" as long as the Norwegians in Norway or elsewhere shall sing "Tea We Love This Land"; as long as the Swedes in Sweden and elsewhere shall sing "Land of My Birth"; as long as the Pinnas in Finland shall sing "Our Land" as long as the Italians in Italy and in America will sing the royal Italian song as long as the Mexicans shall sing "Shout Mexico at the Cry of War" as long as the Welsh shall sing "Land of My Father's"—Negroes of the world everywhere will sing until their souls swell with joy and pride—will sing until the anthems reach the sky and reverberate back to earth again, challenging every tribe and nation to outlining and outlouse them in their love for their motherland. "Ethiopia thou land of my Father's" (Applause) Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Specks Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis was the next speaker and said. It is with great pleasure that I greet this vast audience on this Sabbath evening. This crowd verifies what I have said wherever I have gone—that the New York division stands peerless—that it stands ahead of all divisions, especially on Sunday nights when they are at Liberty Hall. We are glad to have you here because we know that you will drink deeply from the fountain of knowledge concerning our race, and that you will carry forth the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that you will convince others who may be indifferent or may be critical as to this movement that this movement is God's way of leading his people back to their native land of Africa; that this movement stands for the greatest human principles of this present age, that this movement means with the help of God and Garvey to carry the work on in Africa. We are glad for many reasons to know that you turn aids at night from the summer plains that you might go calling on your friends, visiting halls or churches, to come here that you may drink deeply of the thoughts of the leaders of our people. The American leader has taken a flight of oratory tonight that is hard to follow. He has spoken upon the patriotism of the Negro. Patriotism Not New to Negro I do not think that it is a new thing for the Negro to be patriotic. I believe in the ancient days of the glory of our race that the Negro showed splendid patriotism. I feel even now, scattered as he is, if he dwells in other lands that he shows his loyalty to other flags, yet when the rallying call comes from God a chosen leader in whom he has the utmost confidence, that he will rally from the East, from the West, from the North and from the South to the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, and he will stand loyalty by it until it is unfurled to the brooches in our fatherland until Africans shall possess Africa for their own, until those magnificent falls in the River Zambezi—the greatest falls in the world shall thunder their echoes around the utmost parts of our fatherland—until they cross the ocean and reach the Western Hemisphere that Africa—our beloved Africa—is free once more. (Applause). God L NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES ARE QUESTED TO SUPPORT MOVE FOR ES- BLISHING OWN GOVERNMENT IN AFRICA Groes Should Organize Everywhere to Support Plan Work of Universal Negro Improvement Association Bearing Fruit ```markdown ``` The Universal Negro Improvement Association calls upon all race-conscious Negroes in the United States to give their support t: the resolution of Senator T. S. McCallum of Mississippi in his effort to have the President of the nation and Congress acquire sufficient territory in Africa for the establishment of a national home for Negroes, where they will be able to set up and control a government of their own. The effort of Senator McCallum is a praiseworthy one and is supported by the millions of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Different race leaders will oppose this splendid move of Senator McCallum from narrow-mindedness and political inefficiency, but all thoughtful students of politics and economics know that the establishment of a government for Negroes in Africa will be the only solution of the race problem. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association calls upon the 18,000,000 Negroes of America to fall behind Senator McCallum and push the proposition to success. Divisions and branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere are educated to support the measure. Approach your Congressman and your Epiphane and ask them to support the cause. This is the time for the masses of our people to think for themselves. Think the matter over independently and don't be influenced by the ravings of the polish leader or leaders who would secure you that all will be well for us here in another hundred years, when everything points to the contrary. Negroes, do your own thinking. The following is a report of the resolution, which passed the Senate of Mississippi on February 20: Would Establish Country for Negroes Humannoffia Congress on Rees Question-Offre Solution Senator T. G. McCallum of Jones introduced a resolution in the Senate memorizing the Congress of the United States to acquire from the United nations sufficient territory for the founding of a national home for the American Negro. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Federal regulations. It reads as follows: "Whereas Race domination is as old as history and tradition; and, Whereas The question of race relationship has vexed the world since the headgear of the Israelites in Egypt, requiring the interposition of God himself; and, Whereas All the ware that have entered the world since the beginning of time have had their roots directly or indirectly deeply enmeshed in this relationship; and, Whereas As time has progressed and man has become more enlightened, the gentleness of this relationship has become more manifest; and. WHYMAN. The great world war was the strapped fruit of this same tree of skills, having its most manifest beginning in the pardon of Poland by the Holy Alliance followed by the rage of neighbouring nations and the conquest of foreign peoples, including the lost provinces of France and culminating with the dismemberment of Serbia by Austria Hungary in 1833, with the approval of Germany and. WHYMAN. This great conflict has unleashed throughout the world the spirit of rage, consciousness, as never before known and. Syphrasis. As a result of this awakening affliction Ireland has gained her necessary strength for freedom; Egypt India and Greece are in varying conditions of continuous revolution; the Turkey and Greece are looked in a faithful grip and no mention of the world lies backward as to be free from its unpleasant differences, even the most habitable terrains in darkest Africa are restive under the spell of its magical influence; and whereas, in that great conflict America, by reason of her detached position and by her preemptious supplies of iron, money and materials, and the necessity of her high and noble purposes, became the spiritual voice of the world in that crucial hour, as if by and directed proclaimed in trumpet hymns that echoed around the world the heroic-born doctrine of 'the self-identification of nations' and, as a result of this doctrine, the spirit of race questioning has not only been quickened in the hearts of men everywhere, but even present race questioning has been an ominous and potent challenge and. The President, of the United States, in a recent public announcement, the race question as a national problem, and that every question and the world was involved in the question and... race question as a national problem in this country is the path to this great conflict. wise from our late war allies sufficient territory on the continent of Africa to make a suitable, proper 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, and to use such part of our allied war debt as may be necessary in acquiring such territorial concessions, to the end that our country may become one in blood as it is in spirit, and that the dream of our forefathers may be realized in the final colonization of the American Negro on his native soil and that the spirit of race consciousness now so manifest in the American Negro may be given an opportunity for development under the most advantageous circumstances. BRITAIN MAKES PROPOSALS FOR TURKISH SETTLEMENT Near East Imbroglio to Come to End with Lord Curzon as Britains Mediator CONSTANTINOPLE. March 10.—Izet Pasha, Turkish Foreign Minister has telegraphed the results of his conversations with Lord Curzon, British Foreign Secretary, who made the following proposals for a settlement of the Turkish question. That the Greeks withdraw from Anatolia. That the Allies protect the Christian minorities in Ionia, since the Turks have proved incompetent administration. That the Thracian frontier be adjusted, starting at Midia, and the creat-ing of a special regime at Adrianople. That the Turks accept unreservedly the British solution of the problem of the Dardanelles Straits. That the British frontier in Mesopotamia include the town of Mosul, which has been disputed by the Turks. That a special Turco-British convention be completed, to run twenty-five years. That the Turks abandon anti-British propaganda in India, Persia and Afghanistan. That Anatolia recognize the Ports as the legitimate government in Turkey and the re-establishment of the Sultan's authority over Anatolia. Confirmation has been received here of the release of the Italian steamship Abbazia, which was seized by a Greek warship a few days ago on the ground that it was carrying contraband of war for the Turkish Nationalists. Grecse has released the Italian steamer Umbría, which was in custody twenty-four hours, and has also liberated the relief ship Francesca, which was among the four Italian vessels that were seized in the Aegian and Black Seas. The Francesca has proceeded to Novorossiak. Mexican President Agree to Safeguard American Oil and Mining Interests WASHINGTON, March 19.—Administration officials believe the question of recognition of the Obregon Government in Mexico will soon be worked out. It became known today that President Harding has had a personal, friendly correspondence with the Mexican Executive that has resulted in an agreement in principle as to the conditions of recognition. It is indicated that the whole matter will be settled by means of one document. Recognition will be extended by this government, and the Mexican Government will take the responsibility of protecting American lives. The correspondence Between the two President is considered unusual, but its substance has been confirmed by regular diplomatic methods. It is presumed that the personal correspondence started, with the exchange of communications carried from Mexico. City. to. Washington by Elmer Dower. High officials here think President Grounson will soon be ready to sign the protocol, and that he is waiting to gain more strength so he can be able to meet the obligations of the Mexican Congress. 199 SYNDICALISTS MELD IN BOMP PLOT LIONEL March, 20—One hundred and twenty Syndicalists are killed held in Sue Dan Jaffe threw by the government, shattered with 'embling bomb explosions.

GUADELOUPE SE REGARDE In happy contrast with Rene Marians bill of indictment against the barbarous brutality of French rule in Congo and is the following acknowledgement of France's wiser rule in the West Indies. We translate from La Petite Patrie of Point-a-Pitre. question of the common franchise for the common people concerned. The kind of councillors required for a central council of a Federated West Indies is the first item to be considered, because it is important as to whether or not the people are to have anything to do with federation. We do not regard any author of any for alleged breach of duty, vis. ing that his pension is granted. Swettenham Opposes West I Federation Scheme Sir J Alexander Swettenham, Governor of Jamaica, endeare self to black Jamaicans some ye when he refused help for cart Democracy in Guadeloupe has been in existence for half a century. Fifty years ago our fathers had had no part in public affairs. The Governor appointed the Mayor and the municipal councillors, and selected, directly and indirectly, all the legislators. He was, in fact, a member of the Republic. Today the Republic has made an end of the regime of autocracy she has decided that the people themselves shall nominate their representatives to deliberative assemblies of the colony and in the Chamber of Deputies. She has established universal and direct suffrage among us and has called us to manage our own destinies and preside over our own destinies. The editorial from which we quote the above was written by Rene Botisneuf, the editor of "La Petite Patrie", and a representative of Guadaloupe in the French chamber of Deputies. But the difference between Guadaloupe and Guinea makes the horrors of French marula stand out in more vivid red, as M. Botisneuf himself showed in his great speech on the budget in December, and the Negroes of the world owe a debt of gratitude to him for that speech-making address. DOMINICA COMPLAINS The Dominica "Guardian" tells us that The Dominica Representative Government Association will no doubt send a deputation to wait on Sir Eustace Finess and place before him the very moderate demand to his program. In our administrator, Mr. Walter, we have a sincere sympathizer with the aspirations of our people, and we may with confidence supply us with the necessary audience for the deputation. But no time should be lost in bringing home to His Excellency the inconvenience and hardships to the people, and we will appreciate the dedication of the Federation of the Leeward Islands Colony. As a new man, bringing a fresh mind to bear on that problem, Sir Eustace will we ask you to appreciate to the full the difficulties of the situation and sympathize with our efforts to sever the federal knot. As to matters for the improvement of material things. His Excellency will be pleased to take the new taxation to pay the salaries, to be followed in turn by further increases of pay to meet the increased cost of living caused by the new taxation. He will we hope, if you are inquiring to be made into the wilful wicked waste of public money which in so short a time caused the surplus accumulated with such waste, to take wings and fly away, and to turn our credit balance into an ever-increasing deficit. DEMERARA Picture of a West Indies Governor We find no entertainment more diversing than the reading of the reports of meetings of the Demerara Legislature when Governor Collett happens to be in the Presidential chair. He seems irresponsibly bad-tempered, and the unceremonious manner in which he applies the closure to official eloquence, and attempts to binder the fair and free comment of the electives suggests an feasibility and discourtesy that would not be permitted to shine with such refulgence in any other civilized community. He has no patience, and we believe he has been known to leave the legislative hall proptipitately because he could not have his way. He snaps and snarls, and continuously imparts the impression of L'etat c'est mol. And whatever he his qualities he succeeds well in obliterating them by a horse-play and buffoonery that would raise funds for any charitable object We are almost led to think he has missed his calling. Income Tax in Demerare The Government of British Guiana has at present under consideration the imposition of an income tax. The rate of levy proposed is as follows: On the first £200, nil; on every additional pound and exceeding £300, but not exceeding £750, 6d.; exceeding £750 but not £1,000, 9d. exceeding £1,000 but not £1,500, 1a.; exceeding £2,000, 1s. 6d.; exceeding £2,000 but not £2,500, 2s.; exceeding £2,500 but not £3,000, 2s.; exceeding £3,000 but not £4,000, 4s.; exceeding £4,000 but not £5,000, 5s. and exceeding £5,000, 6s. Further, according to the bill, there shall be raised, levied, collected and paid on the total profits of all companies or bodies corporate a tax of five cents on every dollar or one shilling on every pound. It is estimated that the cost of collecting this tax for the year 1522 will not exceed £12,000. Mr. T. Albert MacRory, the able and comfiourable editor of the West Indian indies that the right of the people to take part in their own government must have given in the black people of the West Indian better they can exercise bequeath the stories of West Indian federation.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General By HUBERT HARRISON THE NEGRO WORLD will give a real openings in the various West Indian writers with the amount of news we are able letters that may be sent to us. That if the news items printed here—except available papers of recent dates, as HARRISON, THE NEGRO WORLD, question of the common franchise for the common people concerned. The kind of councillors required for a central council of a Federated West Indies is the first item to be considered, because it is important as to whether or not the people are to have anything to do with federation. "We do not regard any author of any scheme of federation of the West Indies, or for bringing these islands closer together, as a deep thinker or as very serious, if his scheme does not begin with insisting on representative government for the West Indies as the solid basis of confidence and of security. If representative government is impossible for the West Indies let us understand that any real federation is impossible in consequence, because the several West Indian colonies, with one people, but with various unequal forms of government may be forced together to form some attractive aggregation, on the surface of things, but that will not be federation, for it will lack character and expression, and fall to function in the vital inner consciousness of the public mind. If there must be federation of the West Indies—even if there must be a central council for the West Indies—the people through their representatives must say go, and they must go on to help create it, and go further to make it a success by their service. The first step to federation is in creating opportunity for the people of the West Indies it choose their accredited representatives to represent them in a federal council. To do otherwise is to condemn us and our posterity in dissatisfaction and confusion. First thing first JAMAICA Governor Defendant in Suit for Pension Rights Mr E. F. H. Cox, barrister at the has filed a suit in the Supreme Court Jamaica, against his Excellency his Lloyd Probyn, K C M G, to recover damages for alleged breach of duty. The suit is in connection with certain pension rights which Mr Cox is claiming. The plaintiff is a member of the Jamaica Civil Service, but some years ago—during the regime of Sir William Manning—he was relieved of his pension following certain allegations which he made against certain high officials. Mr Cox was never given a pension and for a series of years he had been in correspondence with the local government and the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the subject. As his pension was still withhold, Mr Cox recently brought a suit in the Supreme Court against the Attorney General asking the court for a declaration that he is entitled to pension. Before the action could be proceeded with, under rules of court the consent of the Governor had first to be obtained. The statement of claim which Mr Cox filed was forwarded to His Excellency and as stated a few days ago, the Governor declined to issue his flat Mr. Cox has now made a new move in the matter. He has brought a personal action against Sir Leslie Probyn THE U. N. I QUICK LIGHT AND HE ORDERS RECEIVE Phone Ha Swettenham Opposes West Indian Federation Scheme Sir J Alexander Swettenham, former Governor of Jamaica, endeared himself to black Jamaicans some years ago when he refused help for earthquake victims from an American admiral who had referred to them contemptuously as "niggers." Our Jamaican readers will enjoy the spice in the following passages from Sir Alexander's recent letter to the Daily Gleaner on the subject of the proposed scheme of West Indian confederation'on. The only reason for confederation given so far by the Secretary of State was given at the meeting of a private body, the Corona Club, on the 15th of June, last, when Mr Churchill said. I hope it may be possible. I do not say it will be possible, because there is always a difficulty in yoking the two together—the fat cattle with the lean cattle—but I hope it will be found possible to make some sort of consortium or combination of credits between many of the great Crown colonies, so as to secure the necessary loans on a wider basis than is possible if each individually presents itself upon the market. As the public of Jamaica is already thoroughly disgusted with borrowing this prospect ought to deter the colony from all or any participation in the proposed conference, the object of which is to enable lean cattle like British Guiana and Honduras to swarm upon their faster neighbors like Jamaica. The place of meeting of the conference ought to have been in Jamaica which contains 40 per cent of the population of the proposed confederation. The representation proposed by the Secretary of State is propterous. No official members should attend at all. The proposed session should members for the Winward and Lowward Islands is enormously excels as compared with two from Jamaica.
