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.

cantly on charges of sedition, w
imprisonment without hard labor.
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. "Work hard, and tire not," were Gandhi's fast words to his follower

If the organized spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were placed on the market as a cold business offer, to be used exclusively for emplotations, any republic. Wall street brokerage concern would be willing to pay billions of dollars for such an organized spirit. 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

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.

Pathological Fallacy Raised
—Colonial Office to

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.

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.
Health authorities always stress the high infant mortality among Negroes

"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.

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.

BERT WILLIAMS LEFT
$2,000 PERSONAL
PROPERTY
The will of Bert Williams, Negro comedian was filed Friday, March 17, in the Surrogate Court. It bore only his mark in place of his signature. The explanation was that he had not had the strength to write his name. No estimate is given of the size of the estate other than that it is more than $3,000 in personal property. Williams left no real estate, but it was learned that he deeded over his home to his wife some time before his death. Mrs Williams will inherit all of the net estate.
LINES TO AN AFRIC YOUTH
gentle African youth forget
How my aires scoffed your skin,
My vision penetrated beyond—
I see the man within
Thine eyes are not like summer skirts
But deep and dark (the) glow,
Like Egypt's stars that light the Nile
Where lotus blossoms blow
Descendant thou of hinniek
Why should I snorn your race,
Because my aires were steeped in pride
And fairer is my face?
Thy voice is like a silver bell
I are not of a home
It takes my mind to Africa.
That land, grand and sublime
His tones so musical that rise
Into a strain of power
Is gift of aires who treat that soil
Where God's outdoor is lower
Clasp hands with me, let us forget
The rivalry of aires
And let us build an altar new
Fed with affection's fires.
Match Aryan beauty with thy power.
And, with help of God's grace.
Give to the world a nobler line
Than that which worships race.
I have a dream of future days—
Perchance not very far—
When color's god shall be dethroned
For virtues brightest star.
So do not coldly gaze on me—
God stripped my heart of pride.
And to the race, so long despised.
Mine arms are opened wide.
In future days same lips will say
Our sires have gone to rest.
They were mistaken in their views—
And madness ruled their breasts."
It will be worthy all the pain.
So Afric youth forget!
Come to my arms, thou child despised
Hope whispers not to fret!

INDIA. Asia and Africa—the strongholds of the darker races—are in the throes of a violent proletarian revolt. Nationalism in India, despite Mr. Gandhi's arrest, is proceeding—in Mr. Lloyd George's opinion—at an exceedingly exasperating rate. On top of all this the Moslems in Turkey are adding coal to the smoldering flames of Mohammedanism. 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. From Cairo to London, Bombay to the White House, Kimberley to Paris, statesmen and journalists are eagerly studying the significance of the times. 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!

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."

In the light of Prof Weiner of Harvard showing the influence of the African tribe called the Mandingos upon the civilization of the American Indian, the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru, in the light of the Harvard expedition showing the presence of Negro blood in the royal Ethiopian families, this recognition of the historical validity of Negro Masonry is encouraging and shows that the Negro is beginning to have his day in court. 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.

"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

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.
Black is her face,
Her hair, her eyes,
Endowed with grace,
Her motion cries
From mundane spheres
To azure skies
To find her peer!
Comely and black is she—
Like Kedar's tent,
Her breath like Attar;
And cedars rent
Give forth no scent
Which ivals that
Which she exhales—
This paragon of African maids!

or pacificate Muslim sentiment either in India or elsewhere, especially when it is intended to create a special regime in Adrianopeia which Turkey took from the Haitian brigands after the promulgation of the Treaty of London in 1918, obviously the incursion of the oil-bearing town of Mosul, which is to be included in the British-Mesopotamian frontier, nullifies the impression of British disinterestness, where there is an opportunity for commercial exploitation. 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.

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!'
Colonies in Turbulent State
"In the West Indies things are but little better. So strong is the feeling in these British possessions that it was found necessary at Downing street, London, to send Major A. W. L. Wood, Undersecretary of State for the Colonies, to the three British possessions there. Major Wood is still on the job somewhere in British Guiana. The bulk of the trade with these places is done by America, despite the British propaganda to shift it to Canada."

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.

A STUDY IN BLACK AND WHITE
BY MRR. E. L. FENNER
We all know that emigration is better a marry condition in life financially and educationally. Do you suppose that if the things 'bring' are enjoyed in this country by the designer we possible in his country that he would leave it to come here? No. But if he is a man of high ideals he long after that which are his by right You take a man of that type and he will accomplish much. He feels he owes something to posterity, he wants them to have more of this world's spoils than he had. Of course, you will may that he had a chance. Of course he had a chance. So has the study in black, the Negro it has been made possible by one Marcus Garvey, Mr Black man. Will you accept it or not? If we are so blessed word 'Africa' seems to be as abundant black man as the word Jesus 'Christ' is. But, dear brother Black, don't let White fool you any longer, be only laughs at you because he knows that your country has and is producing everything one would wish in this life. Of course, some of us say we have lost nothing in Africa, but I think eventually that they will come to reason and be glad to find something there Black man you owe something to your women and children even if you have to shed blood for them. What women are more worthy of it than the black women? The Caudanian will reclaim even his fallen women. Black men put your shoulder to the wheel, and I would be willing to gamble that when the black woman finds out that her men have discarded the sardine backbone and taken up the strength of Golath, then her pravers, tears and blessings will guide you on to our inheritance Africa, where we must establish our government so that we may become a strong race and protect our black men wherever he may reside.

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.

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. As a consequence, the serious outbreak is now reported.
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.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN
So many queer things are taking place in the physical and political world since the late World War that our white brother are becoming shamed and growing prophetic, for they seem to think that they see the hand-writing on the wall. 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.

of those who have been and are liberal and who know that the slavation were paid by many private concerns to their employees make tipping necessary to keep body and soul together. 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. Andersson, who has nine

St. Patrick's Day
The Irish are to be congratulated on the fine weather with which the weather man graciously emplified them on Ireland's Natal Day and which left nothing to be desired except an extension of twenty-four hours to enable them to make this St. Patrick's Day the longest on record. It was certainly a most beautiful day, and if omens still have any significance, they argue that the future of the Emperor Isle will be as bright as the day which unhered in this latest anniversary of the Irish independence who will not Irish with having driven the smokes out of Ireland (the "snakemen" from rebound to be among the human species). The modern St. Patrick's appear to have repeated history by againdriving out the "snake" and establishing on Ireland's sacred soil a government of the people, for the people and by the people.
Long live the new Republic of Ireland and may its shadow never grow less!
Africa is Egypt's and Egypt is Africa's.
"A is the first letter in the alphabet," "A stands for Africa and Asia, Egypt has gotten her independence and a king. Ireland here and a president. India is bound to follow science or later and Greater Africa will follow guilt, presuming her claims to nationhood and her place in the sun. The start in their course problem it; great nature demands; justice will accord it, and all humanity will approve the granting of the right to self-government to the races which have been called this right by the stronger races and institutions which have exploiting these weaker races for their benefit. The clock of God has struck the hour, and the so-called weaker races are rising to the importance of the occasion.

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

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.

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.

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

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. I await your approval of this

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. If am afraid, my dear Professor, lick when you see it again you may
know what you see in the manuscript of the

INDIAN SYRUP & TONIC CO.
The New Orleans Division, No. 149,
of the U. N. I. A. is surmounting all
obstacles and overcoming seeming dif-
ficiencies. 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.

U bare decided that tie Lest thiug I

Would be to discourse upoo
“Patriotium Among Negrove Today.”
This aow patriotism 12 manifest and
‘an be readily seen dy the most cr-
dinary one among our race group. We
rewtize that something absolutely new
has come over the Negro peoples of

In all portions of the world. We ad-
init my friends, that the earty im.
pressions given a child are lasting im-
pressions Wherever we are we re-

aud | remember that one of us held the

‘mpreasions ‘ero made upon our minds
then and they rest with us even now
Whorever we are bora regardless of
140 conditions we like to hear occa-
stonatiy surg the national anthem of

(hat originally all things encouched in

were not meant for Negroes, yet be-
cause of the fact that in our carly life
we tearned to sing the national anthers
and becatise of the fact that In our
carly Ife we learned to revere Old
Glory, wo feel @ certain tinge enervat-
ig and a cortain spirit of enthusloxm
pervading our very being when we
near the national anthem or when we
noo the flag. Those who wore born
under the English flag love at times to
gaze at tho Union Jack and othera
stand reith real devotion an¢ patriotiam
when thoy hear sung “God Save the

“La Maraoliaise” of France, and others

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.

Under this heading THE NEGRO WORLD will give a regular weekly summary of the reading and significant happenings in the various West Indian islands. The size of the section will vary from week to week with the amount of news we are able to get from the newspapers, handbills, proclamations and letters that may be sent to us. The editor of this section is responsible for the final form of the news items printed here—except when he expressly quotes other papers. Please send all available papers of recent dates, as well as letters and other documents, to HUBERT HARRISON, THE NEGRO WORLD, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.

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.

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

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

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. It would be carefier if Jamaica had so on against one one of the Winward and Lowward

coming quickly to represent a town made, the Trinidad Government has issued an order that the maximum retail price of a two ounce leaf of tobacco shall be one cent, and so in proportion. This legislation was effected in Barbados in about six months in Trinidad it only took a fortnight. St. Vincent is also complaining of the loss of the leaf and is now calling upon the government to save it from the heath.

Madrid, March 19—An official statement today said, "Spanish troops commanded by Generalis Miguel Cabanela and Frederico Berenguer, under immediate direction of General Sanjurjo, continued their advance in the Beni Sald territory. They captured heights of inolaben, Caserio and Anver, overcoming the enemy's vigorous resistance. "Our soldiers displayed marked bravery and our enemy's position was broken by tanks and infantry attacks. Our aircraft effectually shelled the enemy's rallying points and inflicted severe losses upon them. After garrisoning the occupied positions, our troops returned to their bases undisturbed."
