The Negro World

GE HAS COME LOVER THE W WONDERFUL CH NEGRO PEOPLE VOL. XII. No. 7 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We have seen within the last couple of years a great change among Negroes, one so marked as to compel the thoughtful attention of the whole world. From every section there comes a curious investigation as touching the Negro's new attitude on world affairs. Those who are keeping abreast of the times must have come in contact with many European investigators, especially from England, France, Italy and Germany, who are making searching inquiries into new movements among Negroes. This has been brought about through the sweeping propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as carried on for four years, which seeks for the emancipation of Negroes everywhere and the freeing of Africa from alien rule. ```markdown ``` Some people will say that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has not accomplished anything since its organization, but the fair-minded student will readily admit that but for the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Negro would still be living in the darkness of the past ages. This organization was the only movement among Negroes to have engineered a real manhood program during the war period and immediately offer and up to the present. A Factor to Be Reckoned With The promoters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association realized several years ago that the time had come for the Negro to originate and initiate a program of his own, and to foster and promote it with all his strength—moral, physical and political. In the carrying out of the idea this great organization was brought into being. With the support it received from those who were thoughtful enough to have understood its program a whole world has been stirred to the point of recognizing in the Negro of today a factor and force to be reckoned with, hence this organized system of investigation that is now going on for the purpose of finding out the real attitude of the masses of the Negro race. A Seething Unrest Without any investigation it can be plainly seen that the Negro of today is now in a different mood from that of seven or eight years ago. Once the Negro was disposed to allow himself to be ill-treated, exploited and even enslaved, but today he is determined to free himself politically, socially, religiously, educationally and industrially. For the bringing about of such results the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been working for the last four and a half years. Sentiment has been so changed as to bring us face to face today with a new race as far as the Negro is concerned, because not only in North America, the West Indies and South and Central America are Negroes actively engaged in agitating for their freedom, but on the great continent of Africa there is now an awakening. News has come from East Africa that the natives there have organized themselves in mass demonstration against the system of government that has been forced upon them. Not only in East Africa, but in different parts of the black continent millions of our people have taken on the spirit of true liberty and are now looking toward a united race of four hundred millions of which they were, heretofore, ignorant, not knowing that they were members of one great racial family. A Glittering Outlook MILLIONS HAVE TAKEN UP THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY Success Cannot Be Counted in Dollars GREAT INTERNATIONAL GATHERING IN AUGUST—MEN COMING FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD TO NEW YORK much that its true value to the Negro race cannot be estimated. When it is considered that a world remnant has been created and Negroes everywhere are now looking toward each other as all members of a great family, willing to work together, to live together, and if needs be to die together, you will readily appreciate this great work this organization has done in its few years of existence. But now more than ever we are preparing for the achievement of greater things. We are now looking forward to the Third International Convention of the race, which will bring to New York thousands of remnants of slavery from all parts of the world. At this convention, which will be held during the annual congress, August, it is expected that the biggest program ever undertaken by any race will be gone through to be ultimately presented to the world as a cause behind which four hundred million Negroes will stand for the purpose of emancipating themselves and liberating their country. It is expected that all Negro organizations, churches, lodges and fraternal movements will cooperate with the Universal Negro Improvement Association during the month of August to make the convention truly the biggest effort ever made by a race in the interest of its own advancement. No leader will have the chance to say that he was not invited to this great conclave, because an open invitation is extended to every representative individual of the race to attend the convention so as to help in the discussion and in the formulating of plans which will be put forth for the good and betterment of the race. Members of the race everywhere are asked now to start working in real earnest to bring about the success of this great movement. It is no use putting off for tomorrow that which we must do now. Let us unitedly as four hundred millions of people make one supreme effort to put over the top one great Negro movement and let that movement be the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us come together east, west, north and south, throwing off all selfishness and narrow mindedness; let us cast our talents, our resources, our all into one common reservoir and therefrom let the great stream of progress flow on until we have accomplished the great ideal of an emancipated race, and a free and independent Africa. Gradually we are drawing nearer and nearer to that grand and glorious objective—the freedom of Africa. The many rumblings that we have heard in Europe, in Asia, tend only to hasten the day when Africa will be free. Politically the world is in an upstart, nations and races are disorganized in their sentiments everywhere; Germany still feels bitter against France, France feels amputious of Great Britain, Great Britain feels jealous of America, America feels amputious of Japan, and so on United We Stand! A Beautiful Future! four hundred million Negroes prepare themselves for that great day when the world will again be thrown into a mighty uphenval, when all peoples and nations will be called upon to fight for their own existence. May I not implore the four hundred million Negroes of the world to stand together until that day comes? Surely in the great wars of the future the Negro will have a program, not one that will be offensive to the other races and nations of the world, but one that shall escalate the liberation of his own country. The Negro welcomes the friendship of all other races, in that it is our disposition that white, yellow and black live together in peace with each other, the white man exercising his right of ownership to his own land and country, the yellow man doing likewise, and the black man restored to his ancient glory, showing to the world and to all mankind his higher sense of justice, fellowship and love through the exercising of his own authority in his own country, the redeemed motherland of Africa. Some people think that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has set too high a standard for the Negro, that it is prejudicious to think about national independence for the race, that the Negro should not aspire to be anything else but a subject of other races and nations. We cannot understand why others should think that of the Negro. The Universal sal Negro Improvement Association believes he is a man, created an image of the Great Creator, and we feel that whatsoever other other races and nations are able to accomplish on their own account Negro ought to be able to do likewise. This belief of ours gives hope in the possibilities of the four hundred million members of our It is felt that in this age of world reorganization, the Negro is end play his part, and as the yellow and brown peoples are endeavoring their part in Asia, as the great white race is endeavoring to readjust in Europe, so likewise four hundred million Negroes are now pre themselves for a readjustment in things African. We desire a con our own first, not second in importance among the nations of the world desire to build a government through which we will be able to en the respect of all other peoples. This we must work for, not do This we must agitate for, not pray for, this we must prepare to die for not until we reach that point of determination, will we lift ourselves the mire of human degradation to the heights of human progress. Let me beseech all Negroes, therefore, to fall in line with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, give us all the support you can financially and morally: Let every Negro subscribe to the African Redemption Fund of this great organization. Let him contribute also to this Convention Fund. If each Negro will do his and her part, financially and morally, it will mean that in another few years a new race will rise up from the ashes of this past, a new country will be resurrected from the number of ages, and the princess that we have heard of shall come out of Europe and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God. Men, let us do it now, let us settle down to hard intemperance with hard work, without ceasing, work without complaining; you result for the benefit of your own dom of a race, work for the emancipation of your own country. This is the wish of your humble servant. MARCUS CARVEY, President General Universal News International A Homogeneous Plan INGLO-SAXON PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAY FOR NEGRO Ligation of Miscegenation Scientifically Dealt With by London Writer, Who Has Made Extensive Study of Negro Problem [Editor's Note—Mr. J. M. Stuart Young, white, is a member of the Society, Stokport, England, whose analysis of "Miscegenacious Unions" is in the introduction herewith.] By J. M. STUART YOUNG It is usual for missionaries to condole with the half-caste And the European, who has been responsible for half-breed children, is either overtly or openly—according to the district and the level of social culture—censured by his fellow whites. I was merely summing up the "popular" attitude when I wrote this trifle, quite fifteen years ago: He died on the coast! Alas! for his ghost! He left children four By a Negress ashore! Alas! for the coast! But the closing line is tar too cynical. It is not always "Alas for the coast," in that we have a number of half-caste along the West African littoral. For it seems to be a striking feature of our social life, in every one of the tropical colonies, that the colord man, who can claim an admixture of European blood in his veins, is a more earnest worker toward Negro ideals than th' full-blooded African. I do not think that I have ever, in my twenty years' experience of life in West Africa, met one Negro who had a slight claim to white ancestry but he was proud, and even bonustful, of his European heritage. The Value of Discontent! As we all well know, in the French colonies, the bureaucracy has seen fit to use this "bridge" between the two races. Many half-castes occupy high and responsible positions under the French administration. This is as it should be. *Nigeria, alone, among the West African colonies, seems to have not greatly participated in this half-blood strain. Without entering into the moral aspect of parenthood, I should like to claim that it is a tremendous pity that Nigeria, in general, and Lagos, in particular, lacks its Du Hols. Its Colleger Taylor and its Caseley Hayford. It is the commingled sense of pride and shame, in his paradoxical coalition between the two extremes of color, that fills the mulatto with divine discontent. And only discontent makes this improvement. I have just been reading, with feelings of intense indignation, the self-fightless brittleism of the Negro half-caste, which appears in the current limb of "West Africa." It is from the son of an Englishman. He implies that the gulf between the two races is so wide that the Negro may no longer be great, on equal terms, a strange Britsher on a railway journey, even if the skin of the said Negro be only a shade or two darker than that of the Britsher. This typical Britsher leaves claim to a "brood" that is infinitely higher than other education or culture or rank. "J. Am with the Negro Rees" Now this is the sort of thing which makes an Anglo-Saxon of my disposition rage with angry resentment. I want to believe that all my fellow whites are men of both heart and conscience. I want instead that our cursed "claust" superiority has only resulted in abnormal cynicism—the implied belief in a privileged cream of society—the urbane, self-satisfied, "God has made me better than you" attitude of the "Haves" when brought into contact with the "Have Note." It is this condition of society which we must reform. I am with the Negro race to the death in an effort to break down these rotten traditions of superiority. Until the ruling classes recognize that they share the same blood as the poor, and until they realize that they are in a position of trust and not one of power. I shall continue to assault their stronghold by every means at my command. They will trample us and bind!" declare the Bloch Folk: "We'll be crush'd beneath their coal- black feet and hands! All the rich and strong and great they will crush from out the State. They will whelm us like the weight of pressing sands. They are inmount and blind!" declare the Rich Folk. Destruction and decay will come where their have trod. They may break this world in twain if their hands are on the rain." "AND WHAT IS THAT TO ME?" reblish God! 'Mind the Negro lie many long centuries of bitter, seridom, during which he was deliberately robbed of his right to grow!' It is aburd for the white man to hold that the mere color of skin makes a difference. The reproach of the Negro is backwardness in a hereditary crime upon the Aryan race, and we have, each of us, to "take up his burden," and to undo the crime which our fortitude perpetrated. Let it be manifested here, as a most curious and interesting fact to all students of ethnology, that there are only three recognizable types in the human race. These types are such that they almost do not question of mere nationality. The race. Filial Muses (Maca) Filial Oriental (yellow) Filial Oriental (smalle) Filial Oriental or external condition of a white man with black or brown skin. NEGRO RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL According to a dispatch to The Negro World, Senator Nilo Pecanha, a Negro, has been re-elected President of the Republic of Brazil. that the father be a Negro, is still entirely black The Effects of Miscegenation Only miscegenation can bring about a change of skin, and constant intermarriage inevitably results in a merging of one color into the other, until white and black other become a uniform brown, or until one or other of the extremes is entirely eliminated. Science has been making further investigations in this department. A Legos editor, righteously incensed against a certain colored man of the community who has thrown in his lot with the Europeans, to the despite of his own color, recently recommended him to bleach his skin. Well, science can now accomplish even this wonderful transformation, with a fair measure of success. The black pigment of the Negro—which we call "melanin"—can be gradually whitened, until it is of the same texture as the white man's skin. But the racial lips, nose, eyes and forehead of the Negro would necessarily remain. Apart from this scientific method, we must all have seen how certain fatty acids out here possess a bleaching quality. I have met numerous Negroes and Negroes in the tropics who have possessed mottled black and white hands and arms, as a result of the bleaching powers of palm oil. I need not refer, in any special way, to nature's aberration—the so-called Albino of Negro parents, who lacks the necessary coloring pigmentations at birth, and is therefore deprived of one of the chieftain aspects of virility and beauty. Recently, while discussing this matter with a medical correspondent in London, I made the discovery that a portion of white skin, if grafted onto a Negro, gradually turns black. Conversely, of course, Negro (black) skin grafted onto a European turns white. This is certainly very curious. It proves that one aspect of beauty is only, after all, skin-deep. But this discovery also points with greater force to what I have been arguing about miscegination, for it reveals that the Negro has a separate destiny and sphere, which may yet logically synchronise with that of the Arryan. Let us all digest that logical deduction. How Social Antagonism is Engendered It seems to me that racial antagonism is engendered mostly from the stupidity of the rich, among Europeans and white Americans. These blindly prejudiced people would frustrate the Negro's advance, because of their own hereditary bias toward the shibboleth of race superiority. That shibboleth has got to be destroyed! But the convolution must come from a melting into sympathy of the Aryan, rather than from an over-forceful demonstration of strength on the part of the Negro. I gave this warning two years ago to Marous Garvey, and I must admit that even the Negro World had the courtesy to open its columns to my challenge. Progress, I argued, must be a "band-in-hand" struggle toward the same goal. It must not be a "boot-to-fool" conflict for the supremacy of either one camp or the other. "Day is Day and Night is Night; Black is Black and White is White—Leave the issue in God's hand!" There are many favorable aspects of miscognition that I could argue for, were it not that our social scheme has not yet found a level of racial tolerance. About a dozen Negroes of Lagos are married to white ladies. These white women are invariably "sent to Coventry." I have met several of these female compatriots, and we have married over the thin vein of their false social position. They have invariably acquiesced—but they have also resented, very bitterly resented, the racial nobility, of their kind. In one instance that I could cite, a white woman, who deeply loved her colored husband, and who was abstemiously happy with him had to seek for divorce, just because of the social pressure that was brought to hear upon her. She was "ohybrid" from her funty paradise into the outer darkness of respectability. I have only known its instances in the past twenty years, throughout West Africa, where white men have married (in the legal and religious sense) black women. I understand that both the black and the white THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

An Englishman would need to have tremendous self-reserve and great command of character, to prevent a social docile, after such a step, in (for example) the society of Lagoas. Lagos would merely shrug its shoulders, toss its conventional head, and declare proudly, "I should jolly well think he deserves all he gets!" For Lagos is still very much aware of the gulf that separates the races, and is not—in other camp—too greedily anxious to bridge it by the aid of miscogenacious union! We need only visit the missions, and count there the comparatively small number of half-caste children, to realise that Lagosian women and European men are racially antipathte, I am not out to argue against or for any change. I am merely outlining a very ostensible situation! Yet there is both room and need for the half-caste. I rather think that a greater number of these "bridges" between white and black, all along the West Coast littoral, would push on the march of progress at greater pace. Take, for example, one extraordinarily aspect of racial absorption that of the Jews. Not at all inaptly have they been called the "chosen" people, inasmuch as they have that rare quality of absorbing the characteristics of the people among whom they dwell, even while they retain their peculiar race and their noble religion' Thus all Jews are perfectly true to come form or other of the Hebraic type, abet they are geographically and ethnologically continents apart! I have often-times met Negro Jews, who are to be found even on the West Coast, as the offspring of wandering Moors, Chinese Jews, Japanese Jews, and even Finnish Jews. And, of course, we are all familiar with the German Jew, who is quite distinct from the French Jew, the English Jew and the American Jew. In the recent war there were Jews on both sides. And, while remaining true to the traditions of Hemerism, they all fought patriotically, for the land of their birth and adoption. Now, if the Negro, who lives so happily beneath the British Flag, could only absorb that same "race" spirit, there would be evaded the threatened world-climax toward which the extreme Garveyites are leading black thought. The Negro, once he awakened to a sense of perfect racial brotherhood, would be able to absorb British characteristics, while he remained a true African. On that dire day of conflict—which Fate fordend—he might then be prepared for a solution equally as just equally as permanent, as that which linked North and South, after the terrible American Civil War. And in that psychological hour the eyes of both Negro and Aryan would be turned toward the half-caste—the inevitable "leave of the lump." It should be no idle boast for a colored man, whether he or he of full Negro blood, or whether he have an infusion of white ancestry in his veins, to declare proudly that he is an Englishman." The onus is on the white race, to whom I also belong. I have said that my heart is with the Negro. It is with the Negro, because I feel that this outrageous sense of superiority, just because of a matter of pigmentation, is indefensible! The words, "I am—as you are—a Britsher" need not, for the African who is living and working happily under our rule, spell a paradox! They can be made to enunciate a philosophic truth! KLANSMEN DEFY GOVERNOR PARKER LAKE CHARLES, La.—White robed members of the Ku Klux Klan paraded through the business section last Saturday night, despite Governor Parker's edict that "Kluxism must be suppressed with an iron hand."

NEGRO WORLD GEORGIA NEGROES WHIP WOMAN TO IMPRESS RACE PURITY Paramour Establishes New Record in Escaping Angry Group Bent on Teaching Him a Lesson SYLVESTER Ga., March 27 —Indignation and resentment ran high among Negroes here last Sunday when a group of them discovered a colored woman maintaining improper relations with a white man. According to reports, the man was so frightened at the threatening attitude and the storm of righteous indignation evinced by the Negro that he is said to have established a new record in running away from the scene. The group gave chase bent on teaching him a lesson, but he managed to elude his pursuers. Whipa Woman Returning to the scene, the angry mob read a curtain lecture to the woman on "race purity." "They were determined, they told her, to preserve the sanctity of Nrogro womanhood. Continuing, they said: "A new day has dawned and there will be no toleration of any liaison between colored women and white men. The times are changing, these are not the days when Nrogro women could not protect themselves and were at the mercy of the white man's lust. There is no excuse at this day and time for Negro women to maintain clandestine relations with white men." They pointed out to her that Negroes were lynched and burned at the stake if they "looked hard" at a white woman. Followers of them administered a tattoo with whipping impress her, they said, with their "determination to preserve race purity." The following morning the principals were all arrested and haled in court, where the white man was fined $20, the woman $15 and the men administering the whipping $5 each. The fines were all paid. An onlooked is said to have remarked, "Guess it was worth $5 to teach her a lesson." BILL EXCLUDED DRAFT DODGERS FROM OFFICE ALBANY March 23 - Violators of the war-time selective draft act are prohibited from holding public office in New York State under the terms of the Campbell bill, signed by Gov Miller today. The Governor signed twenty-nine other measures, mostly of a local nature. Another law signed today permits the State Superintendent of Prisons to make rules for compensating prison labor. Savings banks of the State are to be permitted to make loans on pass books of depositors. Still another of today's laws permits New York to accept as a gift from the Knox Headquarters' Association, a parcel of fifty acres of land in Orange County, where stands the mansion occupied at times during the Revolutionary War by Major Gen.

GARVEY IMPRESSES SCHENLEY AUDIENCE WITH FIERY LOGIC Says No People Has Right to Be Consumers Unless Contributors Marcus Garvey has come and gone Has address at Schenley High School last Thursday night left a clear impression The institutions of our group in Pittsburgh in a great measure have laboured under the wrong impression as in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in fact some of the non intellectuals both inside and outside the Garvey movement have laboured under a misunderstanding and have gone off on a tongue Now all are beginning to understand and have come to realize that Mr Garvey isn't half bad He certainly is not an enthusiast as some have charged Garvey has a dream but so have every reformer in one another since a trail. In brief the Garvey plan as revealed in his speech here Thursday night is to create in Africa a Negro State which will be the center of power for all of our race variety where we may choose our own rules have our own army and navy and to which people of the blood wherever they live may appeal for protection against injustice in the same manner that a Japanese living in California looks to Tokio for redress of the wrongs he suffers. Garvey has no "Black to Africa Movement" except in so far as persons who may desire to assist in the establishment of that state. He has no program against the government which means disloyalty. He believes that the changing boundaries and interests give the same hope of a grip on Africa as was in 1914-18, when native troops took over the control and gave it from the Germans to the Allies. For those who are concerned with only continuing here as now, he argues Negro development so that we might evolve a self-sufficient people. Marcus Garvey is an orator and a debater in one. He is intensely interested in his subject, which is the ruling passion of his heart. He talks quickly, clearly and emphatically. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis programmed to speak was unavoidably absent. The program suffered no harm nevertheless. Mr Garvey was a program in himself. Everyone wanted to hear him and was satisfied to remain until that wish was gratified. When all is said and done Garvey must be acknowledged as one man with a plan. He has given a concrete and definite answer to wishes. If desire does not exist, he most adroitly shows that it should With a splendid wealth of argument he says that we cannot be respected so long as we are satisfied to accept the work of other men and races, and contribute nothing under our own initiative. Lack of initiative, he declares, is our monumental sin, not color, nor ignorance, but sheer physical laziness that makes us consumers without being contributors to the world's progress. He declares that we shall bask find ourselves and got to work in a state which we ourselves set up. In a neat speech by Rev M B. Hunter, president of the Steel City Banking Co. Mr Garvey was presented to the vast audience which taxed the seating capacity of Schenley auditorium. A varied program, most too lengthy, was gone through with prior to Mr Garvey's appearance—Pittsburgh American DR. F. E. ROSSER OF BOSTON VISITS CITY Dr F E.

March 12.—A fish of a species hitherto unknown, caught by a Japanese fisherman thirteen miles offshore at a depth of 1,300 feet, is on exhibition here. It weighs 150 pounds, is flat and almost circular. Silver is the chief coloring of its body, with its fins and snout of scarlet and the dorsal about eighteen inches long, spotted with white. The head is mottled with dark gray and black and the eyes are round and about four inches in diameter.

Louisiana Governor Strikes Blow at Ku Klux Klan BATON ROUGE, LA., March 23. Gov. Parker issued today an appeal to the law officers of Louisiana to suppress "with an iron hand the evil of Ku Kluxian wherever it raises its head." The Governor said that at the approaching session of the Legislature he would appeal to that body to enact a law "making it a felony for any man to hide behind a mask to drag the good name of this State in the mire and bring contempt in law and civilization." Gov. Parker's statement added "There is no place in Louisiana for Ku Klux Klan, Bolshevism, radicalism or any other 'ism' that aims to destroy peace and order. The idea that any set of men may with impunity disregard the authority of the courts and set law at defiance in order to correct some evil or punish some evil-doers secretly, and generally under cover of darkness, is absolutely foreign to proper conceptions of democratic government which seeks to establish unity for the common good." WINS NOTABLE CASE IN DISTRICT SUPREME COURT (Special to The Negro World.) WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31. A notable victory was scored during the past week by Attorney Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta Ga., in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, before Mr. Justice McCoy, Criminal Division, Colonel Johnson consented to serve as chief counsel for the defendant because of his intimate acquaintance and personal friendship of defendant family, Mr Johnson and his associates represented a young colored boy Algeron Simpkins, who was charged with having criminally assaulted one Ethel Edwards, a white girl under sixteen years of age—the statutory age of consent" in the District of Columbia, where the defendant for this offense if proven, is imprisonment for from 20 to 30 years in the jury's death penalty. Although the Assistant District Attorney Mr. Emerson, vigorously prosecuted the case, assisted by a number of white detectives who were unusually active in getting up evidence calculated to convict the defendant, and who gave testimony somewhat tinctured with passion and flavored with race prejudice, yet, after the tactful handling and cross examination of witnesses by Colonel Johnson, reported to the court that they were in hopeless disagreement. Whereupon Mr Justice McCoy discharged the jury from further consideration of the case. BRITISH SUBMARINE IN COLLISION. SINKS LONDON, March, 23—The British H-42 has been lost with all hands in the Mediterranean, says an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Gibraltar today. She collided with the destroyer Versatile during营地oueures. The latest naval list says the submarine, commanded by Lieut. Douglas Scaley, had a complement of twenty-three men. An Admiralty report this evening says the H-42 was rammed at 9:30 A.M. by the Verrattle while exercising off Europa Point, Gibraltar, in 500 fathoms of water. An inquiry will be held. BOY SCOUTS ENTERTAIN The Manhattan Council of Boy Scouts entertained 800 Nqro boys, many from out of town, at its head- quartera. No. 87 East 132th Street, last Thursday night. In Our Special Interest Department On and After April 1st, 1923 ```markdown ``` Hints of this were brought out this morning at a first hearing by the Ways and Means Committee. A fight has been started to defeat the legislation the desire for which was made known a few months ago by President Harding to a few Congressmen at a White House dinner. Liberia is commonly known as the proposed haven for Negroes in the United States. President Monroe is said to have first suggested that they be encouraged to go there. Congressmen say they know of no new move along this line, but they think the proposed loan and agreement would encourage development, if not further colonization Confidential information has been laid before the Ways and Means Committee from the State Department which shows, among other things, that this government proposed in an agreement between the Secretary of State and the Liberian Plenary Commission on Oct. 28, 1921, to make advances of about $1700000 to cover Liberia indebtedness. Of this as shown to the committee, about $1500000 to take up securities held by J P Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the National City Bank, New York and the First National Bank of New York, acting for themselves Robert Fleming & Co., Banque de Paris et des Dauphin Baal, M M Warburg & Co. and Hope & Co., acting for others not mentioned. The advance of $1650,000 to Liberia would enable it to purchase or redeem all of its bonds now issued and outstanding representing the 5 per cent, sinking fund gold loan that was due July 1, 1952 under the agreement dated March 7, 1912, for retending the loan of the foregoing named holders. About $30,000 would go toward repaying advanced 7 short-term loans under the Second Liberty Loan Act. Other parts of the loan would go toward improving the transportation and commercial facilities of the country. An immediate advance of $348,000 is suggested to enable Liberia to begin immediate execution of the plan. All advances would constitute "direct liability and obligation of Liberia." Inquiries this morning about the purpose of the advance under the Liberty Loan Act brought information from F M Dearing, Assistant Secretary of State, that $26,000 of it was to pay the expenses of the Liberian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. Attacks were made today on the creation of a Financial Commission. It was brought out that one of the things to be accomplished for keeping order would be the creation of a Liberian Army and absolute control of customs by the United States. The members of the Financial Commission would be designated by the President of the United States and appointed by the President of Liberia and would include: a Financial Commissioner at a salary of $15,000 a year, a Deputy Financial Commissioner at $10,000, an auditor at $6,000, three administrative assistants at $6,000 each, ten administrative assistants at $4,000 each The hearing will be resumed Friday and members will inquire of State Department officials the extent of the proposed control of legislation and finances and of concessions for developing the resources of the country.

WELL COMPANY, BROADWAY £113 SOUTHERN SENATOR FLAYS THE KU KLUX KLAN IN MISSISSIPPI Condemns the Invisible Empire for Its Lawlessness GREENILL, Miss - The Ku Klux Klan received a severe tongue lashing by Senator Leroy Percy here last week before an audience which crowded the Washington County Court House at a meeting advertised as an opportunity to hear Col. Camp of the "Kluxers." L. M. Nicholson, unan mously named chairman, immediately announced that "Col. Camp will now address you, and the Ku Klux spolibinder was permitted to deliver his full message without in-terruption of any kind. But the last word had barely left his lips when he was a shout from all parts of the room for Senator Percy. They say, We will do no harm. Senator Perry quitted from the Ku Klux missionary a old cedar. That is not what the records show. I care not how good may be their intentions they either can't control all that membership, which seems to be more vast than we know of or they cannot keep others from going in that garb and terrifying the ignorant. Everywhere they have gone there has been a trail of lawless deeds and violence done by them or by those who mask in the garb which they have rendered possible. I don't know and you don't know when. But they are responsible for the violence they mask in safety. By their fruit we shall know them. And when an organization breeds violence either by deeds done or by the opportunity for lawlessness it gives to the criminal element of a community; it breeds rotten fruit. No "Invisible Empires" Senator Perry closed his speech with an earnest warning against all attempts to set up this government or private government in the United States. He said, "There is room in this country but for one government and that is not the invisible empire. The constituted officers chosen by those living under the American flag will protect their rights and the people will not divide its allegiance and recognize the Imperial Wizard of these Klanenmen as a power I would as soon be condemned by a decree of the Soviet government handed down by Lenine as I would by decree of the Klu Klu Klan handed out by Simmons of Atlanta. One is as and unhappy with it. Either them or the law will be Friendia, let this Klan go somewhere else where it will not do the harm that it will in this community HARLEM LIBRARY NOTES Three new and interesting groups of young people are now meeting in the library. One of these is a club of boys from the Inter High School Association who are meeting to study Negro history. There is also a large collegiate group of young men and women who are meeting to study ways in which to stimulate idea of culture and progress. The library is also glad to have a troop of Boy Neons meeting in it assembly room each week. These activities, with the Book Lovers' Club, which is so well known to many; the Forum, for the discussion of public particularly those who are racial, and the very active Rod Cross group, which is using the third floor, are contributing to make the library the community center which it ought to be. KANSAS CITY March 22 - Although she is only twenty, Sarah Rector, one of the richest Negroes in the United States, has handled the more than $750,000 worth of property she owns with such autateness that an application for the appointment of a guardian for her has been denied. Judge Jules E. Guinotte of the Probate Court, in deciding the girl was competent to take care of her own money complimented her highly on her intelligence and thrift. Sarah's wealth was derived from her allotment in the great Cushing oil fields, one of the richest fields in Oklahoma. She received this allotment under the Creek Indian Act, which gave Negroes hold as slaves by Indians the same property rights as their masters. The allotment yields an annual income of between $20,000 and $40,000. A large part of this revenue Sarah has invested in Liberty bonds and farm land. She has about $23,000 invested in the bonds and her 970 acres of land are valued at nearly $100,000. Sarah, who is a pure blooded Negro, lives with her parents in what was once one of the most fashionable districts of the city, but is now being taken over by the wealthier Negroes. Apparently Sarah supplies both the funds and the financial genius for the family, and she manages the household well and economically. She owns an automobile, not pretentious but wood, and in the matter of grass is about on a par with the average girl of her age. She is in a high school graduate, but she did not receive any honors at school. AFRICAN WRITES BOOK ON PHILOSOPHY Kojo Tokalou Houenon, Nephew of King Behanzin, of Dahomey, Follows Footsteps of Rene Maran PARIS, March 15—After Rene Merman, who won the coveted literary prize known as the "Prix Goncourt" with his tale of the African jungle, "Baioula," another Negro author has been found. Kojo Tokalou Houenou, a nephew of King Behainan of Dahomey, has written a book on "The Involution of the Metamorphoses and Metampychoses of the Universo." The work really is an essay on the thephy of the formation of language, followed by a series of moral reflections, some of which are worthy of La Rochefoucauld. Here are a few. "The wise man is he who is sensible enough to confess that he is no better than his fellows." "Specialization is an alibi created by avanta." "Savanta' balderdash is the only obstacle I have encountered in science." "Happiness is like health, the greater and more perfect it is, the more unconscious we are of it." Kojo Tokalou Houenou has this to say of his native land: "Africa has not yet contributed her share to the life of cities and to civilization. Her turn will come. Beware of those men of bronze, their strength and radiance will astound your land of mirt theirs is the country of the sun" HARLEM LIBRARY NOTES "Modern Racial Problems" On Thursday evening, March 30 Mr. Edgar Grey will speak on "The West Indian Negro at Home and Abriad" Mr C Jamette has been appointed vice-chairman of the Constitution Committee for the contemplated club for the study of Negro history The organization meeting will be held April 13.

SPAIN BLIND TO MOROCCAM PERIL London Gets News That Spaniards Actually Have Suffered Severe Reverses LONDON, March 24—Discussing the bombardment of Albucemas by the Moore and the sinking of a Spanish steamer of 1,800 tons, which is treated as a serious attack to the Spanishia, a dispatch to the London Times from Tangier, dated Thursday, says that, with a blindness that is pathetic, the Spanish press in past weeks has been filled with optimistic news. "It is scarcely conceivable," the dispatch adds, "that Spain will al. down under the Rief duco . . . or postpone an immediate attack on the tribes, but the conquest of this part of the Rief region presents great difficulties. The Riefs are numerous and wall armed. They are admirably organized and possess considerable cannon. They have entrenched positions and hold hundreds of Spanish prisoners. "The Spanish War Minister is reported to have said the bombardment of Albucemas was of small importance, but it is very doubtful) whether the Spanish public or the Moorish tribesmen will share this opinion." CIVIL WAR VETERAN DIES GABY, WAR, March 11 - Addison Holmes, body servant to General U. S. Grant while the latter was President of the United States, died here yesterday. He was ninety-six years old, and was born and raised a slave. At the rate break of the Civil war he joined the Union forces. Holmes had been amu- lated three times, and was the father of ANCESTORS BLAZED TRAIL FOR THE SCIENCE OF ARABIA, SAYS WRITER Industry of Persia and the Philosophy of Greece Origi- nated in the Brain of the African, Asserts A. H. Moloney ACME PLAYERS PLAN TO INVADE DRAMATIC LIFE OF HARLEM ANCESTORS BLAZED SCIENCE OF A Industry of Persia and the nated in the Brain of A. H. Gy A. H. MALONEY The stoic views life with the eye of indifference. He sees his ends unattained, his efforts nullified, and his ideals shattered, and he concludes with the classical epigram that the Apostle Paul had in mind when he said, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." With such an outlook upon life he surrenders initiative, crucifies determination, and buries the will-to-achieve. To the average individual life presents itself in a form of a conundrum. The values and verities of life seem to fit before his eyes, only to make sport of him as he vainly tries to seize them and weave 'them into the stuff of reality. He sees a man as he passes through the various stages leading up to and through his manhood, as he vanquishes ignorance and gains intelligence; as he master's nature's forces and earns a livelihood, as he captures Cupid and sips love's nectar, as he heals the creator and releases life into the world, and the tragedy of tragedy, he sees his appointment, sensility and death draw near and, like the eastern typhoons, blow his tragic castle of cards to the four winds in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. He reads history and he sees an array of kingdoms rise and bloom and wither and decay. He sees nations rise and bloom and wither and decay. He sees nations rise up and wrest from nations a place in the sun only to be ocelapsed in turn by mighter nations. He sees peoples set out with the torch of progress and enlightenment, grow and flourish and eventually have the touch matched by hands of people of more virile stock. So like the Hindoo, he says: "My soul longs for nothing so much as for Nirvana." Like Schopenhauer and Von Hartman he say: "The greatest feat in life is to negative the will-to-live." To the evolutionist, however, life lends itself to a more auspicious interpretation. The man who dies attains his immortality, partly in the world, but then he is given to the world, but then he is enriched which he has enriched the world. RETAIL FOOD COSTS SHOW DECREASE IN TEN LARGE CITIES WASHINGTON, March 27—Retail food casts in ten cities of the country showed a decrease ranging from 1 to 4 per cent.

ACME PLAYERS PLAN T DRAM One of the most unique performances of the season is promised in the appearance of the Acme Players, a group of young artists, at the Lafayette Theatre during the month of April. This group of players, having been trained by Mr. George Gurlee and Mrs. Anne Wolter, of the Dramatic School at Carnegie Hall, will demonstrate the ability of the young Negro in dramatics and finished performances of the literature and professional merit. Mr. Currie, who is one of the best known instructors in dramatics art in New York city, when interviewed said: "There is a popular idea that any plays produced by colored people must necessarily be of the lower types of life, such as The Emperor, Great Alley, and the like. Drama is an art that is not limited to blacks, and blacks are not limited to blacks." And with the view of demonstration that the Negro is capable of such accomplishment, the Amees Players are giving nods and salutations. "Though he be dead, yet doth he live." The kingsdoms that have passed have marked" guide-posts for others, the nations that have fallen have formed foundations more solid for those that are here, and the peoples that have died have enhanced the glories of those that have come after Progress and enlightenment proceed in spiral order. Groups that have rounded out their series its dermant, at times, for centuries, only to rise drenched in, and dripping with, the vigor and richness of the accumulated genius of the ages. So it was with the Vandals, the vestigial outposts of a rich ancient culture in the Carpathian regions, that overthrow haughty Rome in the days of Augustine; so it is with Japan that forged her way to the front rank amongst the custodians of modern achievements in our day after centuries of hibernation. So it will be with the 400 millions of black folk whose ancestors blazed the trail for the science of Arabia, the industry of Poria, and the philosophy of Greece. A great heritage is oure. Heirs are, we could we only sense it, of the total accrued increments of civilization Peoples once dormant, then active, have never had to traverse the entire spiral series in fixed and regular order. Such a process would defeat evolution and arrest all progress. They have always been able to jump the chama, the psychic vacuum, between the spiral series and reach the vanguard over-night, as it wore. Take Japan, again as an instance, and what do we see? Peary, Port Arthur, and then a first-rate power with which to be reckoned. And what of our race? Should all the contracts we have had be but in vain? Have we not had our rich communions with the Holy Ghost of literature, of art, of philosophy, of science, and of And who would be the advanced nation? And who would dare to hood to assert that we shall not 'add to it our peculiar racial contribution, and out of the cauldron of our complex life found a government in Africa which the Hon Marcus Garvey declares, prophetically, be 'second to none' on the face of the earth. ORDER PROHIBITS MASKED PARADES IN THE CAPITAL WASHINGTON, D. C., March 24—The Ku Klux Klan received a set-back from the local police here who were impressed with the warning of Negroes that another race riot was likely to occur if the Klansmen were allowed to hold a proposed parade. Last week Major Daniel Sullivan, Superintendent of Police, approved an order prepared by the Corporation Counsel, prohibiting any masked parades on the Washington streets. Negro residents of the capital had been aroused by reports that the Ku Klux was to parade from Georgetown to Alexandria. They recalled the race riots of 1919, pointing out that if the parade incited further violence and clashes between the races the blame would be upon the Police Department for not preventing the procession. The regulation which prohibited a Ku Klux parade followed. U. S. TO SEND STATUE FOR BRAZIL'S CENTENARY The people of the United States will present to the people of Brazil a memorial on the occasion of the centennial celebration of the independence of Brazil, in Rio do Janeiro from Sept. 7 to Doc. 31. The memorial, which has been indorsed by Secretary of State Hughes, will be a colossal figure in bronze, similar to that of the Statue of Liberty. In her right hand the figure will "kill the enemy," and in her left hand be intertwined flags of the Uni'd States and Brazil. At the base will be figures of Washington and Lincoln and of the Brazilian patriote, Bonifado and Rio John L. Merrill, president of the All-American Cables, is chairman of the committees in charge.

They have reached a height very rarely attained by any group of colored players in the past. "These very enthusiastic and capable young players have struggle against insuperable odds with one aim in view, i.e. to establish a permanent organization which would serve as a training school for talented young people who are often unable to gain admission to the prominent schools of editing in our country. This would give an opportunity for the most talent to be developed in the young players. The players will approach the samples of the New York, Urban League in a midnight show, Friday, April 11. The program will consist of three billings, one set, plays full of speaking, will and entertainment.

Negroes Everywhere Showing Marked Interest in African Affairs By ELLEN LUKS What is at the back of this unbecoming assault, on Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Through his subtle genius Marcus Garvey, in three years and a half gave more to his race and to suffering humanity than any other champion of Negro liberity, white or colored, during the last thirty years. Marcus Garvey is one of the few men here below who is living his life to the full. The career of the man is in itself an inspiration. Yet, members of his own race join with others in an outrageous attempt, to discredit him and the righteous organization he has so ably founded. This is scarcely surprising in view of the fact that ever since emancipation on there has been a terrific struggle for "race leaden-ship." Marcus Garvey is silently looked upon and acknowledged by the statesmen of the nations as the ablest and bravest man of the Negro race, yet, they regard him as dangerous to the interests of the peoples they represent. Apart from the desire to kill the spirit of the new Negro brought about by the revelations of Marcus Garvey, there stands in the foreground of the attack upon him. The slogan that taunts." Server Being Persecuted Harvey Being Persecuted As will be noticed it is not so much the persecution of the man as the strangling of this universal determination of the Negro to throw off the burden of oppression and injustice that is foremost in the minds of the attackers. When the illustrious leader launched out in his endeavors Europe mounted on him as a lunatic and his "manpower problem" laughed to scorn. Now that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has developed into a world-wide organization Europe is preparing now more than ever to keep Africa. Surely it is not the program of the association that has so aroused theire of the forces of Europe. Those of us who are conversant with the history of empires know that there is something in the Universal Negro Improvement Association that's offensive to Europe; something that breaks the hearts of royalty and noblemen and haunts the minds of the statesman and people alike—it is the slogan that taints "Africa for the Africans." From its first appearance in the newspapers and magazines of the world all Europe was grieved with anxiety. This was to be expected, for Europe's existence depends upon her holding successfully the great "Treasure House," "Africa for the Africans" in the newspapers that taints Marous Garvey, the myth, the dream, invented it and hurled it across the rich Atlantic at a time when "Down with the Germans" was the cry of the nations. The Germans have been downed but "Africa for the Africans" mounts higher and higher every day. Slogan Strikes Terror to Europeans Great Britain and France, Belgium and Portugal are deeply interested in this slogan, and have had good sense to put it on record in their respective parliaments. Copies of earlier issues of the "Negro World" are resting carefully in many foreign offices, specially so in the two first named countries. Marcus Garvey has his historic compliment paid to Marcus Garvey the American Thank God he is a Negro. They themselves are duly conscious of the fact that Marcus Garvey is daily measuring up to the higher statemanship of Europe and that is why the slogan he has so timely given to the Negro peoples of the world through the Universal Negro Improvement Association is so taunting. "African for the Africans" is a slogan that surpasses all others for clarification—it cannot be misconstrued, it speaks louder than the voice of cannons and needs no interpretation. In trying to dodge the issue of a free --- and redeemed Africa, Europe seems to forget that no individual is entitled no ample, no race of people are needed in dodging the fushes of God. Let the Negro people of the world prepare, let them awake to the fact that the buildings of Europe are planning and planning hard, to hold fast to mother Africa. African territory is as sacred to Europeans as the cathedral of Westminster, Notre Dame, Rihlaus and St. Paul's. The greatest pride of a European is to be a soldier. Fighting has been his profession from birth, therefore it is by fighting that he is able to earn a livelihood. There are many big problems confronting the "empire on which the sun never sets" and her rival, the "chivalrous republic," but none so big, so acute as the "African problem." Ireland is a cancer, India a tiger. Egypt a snake, Morocco a scorpion, and Africa has been, is and ever shall be the death-house of empires and nations. Realizing this fact Europe, in the midst of her internal and external troubles, finds time to make preparations for the coming storm. Struggling for Africa "African for the Africanian" is the slogan that taunts, and for the benefit of those who are ignorant of the truth let me say here that Europe is going to fight more vigorously for Africa than she has ever done for Europe. Great Britain knows no material too dangerous to keep her Kimberley and her Rand district. France knows no material too dangerous to keep her French Congo. Belgium, queen of savages, knows no material too dangerous to keep her Belgian Congo. Portugal knows no material too dangerous to keep her Portuguese East Africa. Anything that would ensure maintenance of these precious pearls will be used towards this end. England cays but little for Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the West Indies because these dominions and islands are in a position to live without Africa. The dominions themselves have realised the truth of this maturation, which clearly reveals itself in the efforts now being put forward by them to be free from England. It is inconceivable that a mother should love another's children more than she loves her own, yet this is the position of mother England, who lives the "Dark Continent" more than her own dominions. This is not surprising, however, in view of the fact that without Africa these is no empire. The Cameroon Storm. Such are the circumstances that compel Europe to prepare for the coming storm. Now, if a few million white men are willing to go to an strange land so that the faç of the soil on which the sacrifice is made may be a memorable contribution to the countries they represent, 400,000,000 Negroes are more than willing to die on the humankind battlefield in the struggle to ever for all eternity a great African republic as a worthy monument memorializing the sufferings of their forthrights. "Africa for the African is the slogan that families Europe respects it because it is justifiable. And while the mighty laugh at the idea of Negroes demanding a free and redeemed Africa I hear this mocking voice. The marital interest Negroes everywhere are taking in international politics, especially where Africa is concerned, has given Europe the more Lot us about with stantonian voles, higher, richer, nobler, "Africa for the African!"

THE NOMINATION TO ANNAPOLIS THE world was thrilled on Friday, March 24 when the news was flashed over the wires that Congressman Martin C. Anzorge, Republican of the 21st Congressional District, nominated Emile F Treville Holley, a 17-year-old Negro boy of Harlem, for admission to Annapolis, the United States Naval Academy. Three colored cadets—Alexander, Flipper and Young—graduated from West Point. Another colored cadet, Whittaker, entered, but never graduated. It was reported that he left because he was hazed, and it was also reported that he left because he dreaded the final exams. But the New York World said of Holley: "If he should pass the examination at the Naval Academy April 19 and receive the appointment he will be the first of his race to do so since the reconstruction period after the Civil War." Holley is a fine, manly young man; made a record as a baseball player and athlete at the Townsend Harris High School and was popular with his classmates, becoming an officer of his class. He has also been active in moral and religious affairs, serving as a member of the Boys' Executive Council of the Y. M. C. A. and superintendent of the St. James Presbyterian Sunday School. He is now a freshman at the College of the City of New York. Both intellectually, morally and physically he is a youth that any race would be proud of. Coming soon after his splendid speech on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, Congressman Anzorge's nomination of young Holley to Annapolis, which is an aristocratic naval academy, indicates that he is a man dominated by a sense of justice and the sense of fair play. But the New York World attributes ulterior motives to Congressman Anzorge's nomination of young Holley. The headline of one of its front page articles on Saturday, March 25, stated: "Sending a Negro to Annapolis Was Campaign Pledge." The opening paragraph of the article innocently reads: "Nomination of Emile Treville Holley, the 17-year-old Negro of No. 102 West 138th street, as a mid-shipman in the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis was a fulfillment of campaign pledges made by Martin C. Anzorge when he was campaigning in 1920 for the seat he now holds as Representative from the 21st Congressional District. The next election in that district will be next November." Now this frank and seemingly innocent statement is really a very subtle program and is designed to have an influence upon the subconscious mind. But what surprises us is that though the New York World is a very practical paper, the writer of that article talks as if he lived in Heaven, in the new Jerusalem that the Apostle John saw in a vision on the island of Patmos instead of upon Mother Earth. The writer of the New York World article intimates that the fulfillment of a campaign pledge is a vice, but we regard it as not only a virtue, but a very rare virtue. In the first place, the candidate usually promises noble things in the strain of idealistic talks. In the second place, he very rarely keeps his pledges. When he comes up for re-election he usually tells how much more difficult it is to fulfil than to promise and speaks of the difficulties that stood in the way of his doing the things that he wanted to do. Indeed, the keeping of a campaign pledge is such a rare virtue that if Aristotle were to be rehabilitated on earth again and write another "Politics" and another "Ethics" he would increase his cardinal virtues from four to five and mention the "keeping a campaign pledge" as a fifth cardinal virtue. The Athensians called Aristides "Aristides the Just." If they were to be reincarnated and to dip in American politics and see how hard and difficult and sometimes seemingly impossible it is to keep a campaign pledge, when they saw that Congressman Ansorge had actually kept a campaign pledge they would have hailed him as "Ansorge the Just." We heard Congressman Ansorge speak in the last campaign and believe that he is a courageous, sincere man who is a lover of justice and fair play. BREAKING THE ICE DEVOTING its entire March issue to a frank discussion by black and white writers of the fundamentals of the Negro problem in America, *The World Tomorrow* is to be congratulated for its fearless stand on the race question. Let us hope that liberal periodicals like the *Nation* and the *New Republic* and the *Freeman* will follow suit. Ignorance on the part of a majority of white men on America's debt to the Negro is responsible in a very large degree for the treatment the Negro receives at the hands of white men. Remove this ignorance and it is reasonable to suppose there will be some practical working basis between the race. Contributors to *The World Tomorrow* Negro Number include Sarah N. Clephorn; W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, Jessie Fautet, Leslie Pincinctney Hill; Charles S. Johnson, Eugene Kinckle, Florence Kelly, Mairy E. McDowell, Hobert Adolphus Miller, John Nevin Sayre, Edward T. Ware and L. Hollingsworth Wood. THE protection of the purity of his woman is invariably given his excuse by the ordinary white man in the South, particularly in Georgia, for the practice of lynching and burial men despite the fact that in comparatively few cases is the men charged with the "impardonable sin". Indeed, the prosecutions of evidence allows that drastic measures should be used for the protection of Negro women in the South. The ardent man regards it as one of his "most sacred privileges" to insisting on the right to protect the purity of their own women. A striking illustration is furnished in the action of a group of colored men in Sylvester, Ga., who are reported to have put to flight by threats to manhandle one of these chivalrous protectors of the purity and safety of white women and administered a severe whipping to the colored woman to impress upon her their "determination to maintain race purity." For yeers the white man in the South has indulged in this idle prattle about the protection of his women, yet he does not hesitate to violate the sanctity of Negro women. Not alone in America, but wherever he has gone among other races he assumes a right to exercise his "most sacred privilege." On the other hand, Negro women who by implication countenance this assumption cannot be held blameless at this day and time for the excellent reason that they are not compelled to A DIFFICULT TASK the policy of The Negro World to call the slightest bit of enemy fire and man wrong overshadows our sense of justice, however, when we cannot afford to end. On Sunday, March 26, Mr Charles of the New York Tribune, published Stribling's novel, "Birthright." Did if the great books-of the year, but afflict with all his knowledge of the psychotic times makes serious fundamental blues Peter Siner But that is not what I once, so elated was he over the book, on Streets" and "If Winter Comes, over underly tragedy," he says, "of what our vaunted civilization, seemed to evil Lawrence Dunbar attempted a naming of the pathos of his fellows, he isn't enough perspective. I said to my a white man of sympathy and onto a Negro book, just as it takes whiteness, really to educate them as actors and so if Mr. Towne really knows what he anything about Negro history he would elements. As regards the military I had only mention the names of Hamm and Col Charles Young, "Black Bridge, Duse Mohamed Ali and Chan reputation in the realm of art and m douse need for rehearsal. Down to the question of the Negro's interest himself there is a very good reason "Inquiry Into the Mental and Intellect in Paris in 1808, explains this. Dense treated by white men the Negro is a nancor and emotional hate. It is inarticulate? Even Greenwich Village, the meek afraid to open its arms toward an artist, although a skilled writer, introduced novels. Basing one's estimate on the pref or the Negro to write a great novel it. IT is not the policy of The Negro World to capitalize hate; to catch at the slightest bit of enemy fire and magnify it as if our sense of wrong overshadows our sense of justice and fair play. There are times, however, when we cannot afford to let certain things go unchallenged. On Sunday, March 26, Mr Charles Hanson Towne, literary critic of the New York Tribune, published a very excellent review of T S Stribling's novel, "Birthright." Decidedly "Birthright" is one of the great books of the year, but after reading it we still feel that with all his knowledge of the psychology of the Negro the author at times makes serious fundamental blunders in his characterization of Peter Siner. But that is not what we started out to say. Mr Towne, so elated was he over the book, calling it better than ten "Main Streets" and "If Winter Comes," overshot the mark "The deep, underlying tragedy," he says, "of what it must mean to be a Negro in our vaunted civilization, seemed to escape our writer, and when Paul Lawrence Dunbar attempted a novel in which he showed something of the pathos of his fellows, he failed, simply because he hadn't enough perspective. I said to myself then that it would require a white man of sympathy and comprehension to get the Negro into a Negro book, just as it takes white officers to lead them into battle, really to educate them as actors and singers." We wonder if Mr. Towne really knows what he is talking about. If he knew anything about Negro history he would not make such erroneous statements. As regards the military leadership of the Negro, we need only mention the names of Hannibal, Toussaint L'Ouverture and Col Charles Young "Black Pattie," Roland Hayes, Ira Aldridge, Duse Mohamed Ali and Charles S. Gilpin are Negroes whose reputation in the realm of art and music are so well known there is no need for rehearsal. Coming down to the question of the Negro's inability to write a great novel about himself there is a very good reason for this. Abbe Gregoire, in his "Inquiry Into the Mental and Intellectual Qualities of the Negro," published in Paris in 1808, explains this. Due to the way in which he has been treated by white men the Negro is incapable of purging his soul of rancor and emotional hate. It is inartistic, of course, but who is to blame? Even Greenwich Village, the mecca of culture and democracy, is afraid to open its arms toward an artist in black. That is why Chesnutt, although a skilled writer, introduced so much propaganda into his novels. Basing one's estimate on the present standards of art, it is difficult for the Negro to write a great novel without injecting propaganda into it. A TICKLISH SPOT as its model the contrary points of the Southern Workman and the Messenger that "The American Negro (in his himself as a human being when he see, but so does the French academist and a humanist only afterwards." Of fact the white man is responsible negro had a just place in the literature necessity for Negroes of our generation revision of American history. Not on education that would fit them for any society. We believe that the art and the science and the literature the art and the science and literature of love stress is individuality—the Negro before he can become the true master TAKING as its model the contrary points of view represented by the Southern Workman and the Messenger, the Freeman decides that "The American Negro (in his choice of literature) starves himself as a human being when he sets group-loyalty above humanity, but so does the French academician who is a Frenchman first and a humanist only afterwards." As a matter of fact the white man is responsible for this "starving." If the Negro had a just place in the literature of history there would be no necessity for Negroes of our generation arguing and fighting for a revision of American history. Not only do Negroes desire to get an education that would fit them for life in a Negro society, but in any society. We believe that the Negro must not only study the art and the science and the literature of the black man, but also the art and the science and literature of the white man. But the thing we stress is individuality—the Negro must first develop internally before he can become the true master of his destiny THE FOUR-PACT TREATY column headline, which stretched across, the New York Tribune stated on Saturd "Four-Power Treaty, Insuring Pacific in Changes; Final Vote Is 67 to 27." vote of 67 to 27 the Senate this afternoon with the modified Brandegee reservation of the United States to force or to an New York American on Monday, March 27, IN an eight-column headline, which stretched across the top of the front page, the New York Tribune stated on Saturday morning, March 25, "Four-Power Treaty, Insuring Pacific Peace, Ratified: 32 Roll Calls on Changes; Final Vote Is 67 to 27." And the article begins: "By a vote of 67 to 27 the Senate this afternoon ratified the four-power treaty with the modified Brandegee reservation, which excludes any commitment of the United States to force or to an alliance." The New York American on Monday, March 27, contained a brief but powerful article by Philip Francis on the theme, "Alliances Such as Four-Power Pact Have Caused Wars for 1,000 Years" It is a Brbanian article, because the sentences are on the whole short, the paragraphs are short, and a great deal of thought is packed and jammed in six hundred words. We have neither the time nor the space to go into the merits or defects of the Four-Pact Treaty; to enter into a discussion as to whether or not the United States departed from the straight and narrow path indicated by Father George Washington when he advised against "Entangling Alliances." We have neither the time nor the space to discuss pro and con as to whether it was advisable to depart from the traditional foreign policy of America, if the United States Senate did so depart. But what interests us is, "Who constitutes the Big Four?" and "What can the Negro learn from such constitution?" Ten years ago an alliance of the "Big Four" would refer to England, France, Germany and Russia. But today, England, France, America and Japan constitute the "Big Four." And one of these—Japan—is classified among the yellow rather than among the white races. And we desire to say a few words about little Japan. A little over thirty years ago, Japanese students began to come to Yale University, encouraged by Dr. George Trumbull Ladd, head of the Department of Philosophy. At the same time, Chinese and Hindu students came to both Yale and Harvard. Celebrated Hindu thinkers like Swami Vivikamada, Swami Abhedanana, Mozoombar and Bita Chondro Pal lectured around Boston and Cambridge. There was a different psychological outlook manifested by the Hindus and Japanese. The Hindus sat in judgment upon Western civilization and extolled the glories of Hindu philosophy, with its pantheism, its doctrine of reincarnation and final absorption in Nirvana. The Japanese, while loyal to Japanese traditions and ideals, endeavored to learn, absorb and assimilate everything the Western world had to teach in philosophy, psychology, science, medicine, business, industry, law, commerced, art and war. The result is that a few thousand Englishmen lord it over some three hundred and fifty million disgruntled Hindus, while little Japan is a recomputed power power. It would pay the New Negro to follow the course inspired out by Greece, Rome, England, America and Japan. It would pay him not only to be proud of the ancient glories of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the medieval glories of Timbuccot not to retain his racial individuality but also to learn everything other races can teach in science, industry, art and commerce. THE AWAKENING OF ISLAM In my last contribution I expressed the opinion that Lord Curson's terms for a Turkish settlement would find little favor either in Turkey, India on the Muslim world. It now transpires that the Turks, whilst desiring peace, first intend to get the Greeks out of Asia Minor with the return of Smyrna, now occupied by the Greeks, Eastern Thrace and Adrianople. The solidarity of the Muslim world as suggested in Lord Northcuffy's interview to the "New York World" is the real key to Lord Curson's seemingly moderate proposals to Izet Pasha. It is foolsish for Europeans to suppose that the government at Constantinople and that at Angora are distinct and separate administrative entities. The Turk, whether in Angora or Constantinople, is a Jurk imbued with identical nationalist desires. He has no quarrel with Christendom as such because a good Muslim must first be a good Jew and a very good Christian. We Muslims hold the Christ in greater veneration than does the great body of professing Christians. What the Turk wants is freedom from outside interference in order that he shall have an opportunity to develop the abundant resources of his country. The claim has been made that the Turk wants freedom by conquest and that the Greeks are the rightful owners of the soil. Ethnologically, with the exception of a few families residing in the island of the Aegian Sea, there are no Greeks today. The Christian inhabitants of Thrace and Macedonia are a non-descript population of Levantines whose veins there is no strain of Greek blood. For over three hundred years the Turks have been fighting a defensive battle against aggressively Christianity and they have not progressed because they have never had time to set their house in order. Yet, when and where they had the opportunity, the Turks have shown themselves capable administrators, for they not only succeeded in maintaining peace in the Balkans during their period of overlordship, but they also managed to establish a condition of order among the contending Christian factions in Jerusalem, who were ever ready to show their Christian-like attributes by their wanton and bloody rioting about the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Eastertide and, but for the efforts of the Turkish soldiery, these upholders of the cross would have turned the Holy City into an veritable shambles. Having observed the injustice which has been meted out to Turkey, first by Czarist Russia and then by Great Britain after the Crimean War, and subsequently by Austria, Italy and the Balkan States, the Muslim world realized that commercial Christendom, with the assistance of its governments meant to humiliate Turkey and seize all those rich lands in Asia Minor which were ripe for exploitation and which were held by the despised Turk. It was furthermore e intended by the "Great Powers" to wipe out Islam even as Judaism had been wiped out by Titus, making of the Muslim a wanderer on the face of the earth, even as was the case of the Jews Now the European Christian has never appeared to realize that the Khalifate is Turkey and Turkey the Khalifate, to the degree of gratification Turkey meant the humiliation of the Muslim throughout the world. It is in direct opposition to Islam to assume that it is aggressive. On the contrary, the Muslim world is specifically enjoined by our Prophet to be on the defensive rather than the offensive. Turkey, after her early conquest of Europe under the 1st Tatr兰an, ending with the reign of Süleman, the Magnificent, never was the offender. She has been on the defensive ever since that distant day when she was driven back from the gates of Vienna. Meanwhile Nuslims noted the unfriendly attitude of Great Britain which began with the attacks made by Mr. W. E. Gladstone on Abdul Hamid: the Bulgarian assumption of autonomy, backed by Russia; Britain and the great powers: the seizure of Tunis by France in 1881; that of Egypt by England in the unaware occupations of the Red Sea, and by terror on the Red Sea, littoral by Italy and France, which formed part of the Turkish Empire, by reason of the fact that, although nominally Egyptian territory, the late Khedive, Imawl, was after all, only a vassal to the Sultan of Turkey Equatorial Africa was handed over to the ruthlessness of Belgium and its Red King, and Austria decided to take a hand in the game of spoilation by annexing Boenia and Heswige. England then arrived at an understanding with France which resulted in the conference of Algeciras, the establishment of a French protectorate over Morocco, — the Rif being assigned to Spain—and the deportation of its Sultan, and the former power, after privily aiding the young Turks in their revolution and the dethronement of Abdul Hamid, and of bequeathing eminent allies requiring Russia, who engineered the first Balkan war immediately after Turkey's unsuccessful effort to save Tripoli from the power of Italy. The first Balkan war having materialized, although Sir Edward Gray had previously assured the late Kamel Pasha, Turkey's Grand Vizier, that the powers would be to it that Belgium should not be allowed to disturb the peace of the Balkan England's Minister for Foreign Affairs declared that whatever the result of the war, the status quo ante bellum would be maintained. This was because the powers thought Turkey strong enough to defeat the Balkan confederation. When, however, Turkey was beaten by the Balkan States with the covert assistance of Russia, the treaty of London was made which deprived Turkey of her possessions in Thrace and Macedonia. And the Turkish-European line was drawn between Enos and Mida Russia, finding that Ferdinand of Bulgaria had Constantinople within his grasp, demanded that the capital of Islam should be handed over to the Muscovite, but Ferdinand having objected, Russia immediately set Servio and Greece upon Bulgaria and the second Balkan war was put into operation, resulting in the defeat of Bulgaria, the reoccupation of Adrianpine by Turkey and the treaty of Bucharest which restored a portion of Thrace and Macedonia to Turkey The great war followed quickly upon the heels of the Balkan inbroglio, and Russia, who still hankered after Constantinople, by bombarding several Turkish Black Sea towns with her Black Sea feet, brought Turkey into the war because of her reprisals. The terms of the unjust treaty of Serves is fresh in the minds of all those interested in this question. The Muslim of the world have become disatisfied with the treatment Islam has received at the hands of the "Big Four". It has discovered that if it does not "hang to the ground" and be pacified, and the Indian Hindu, reaching out for a much-advertised self-determination, joined hands with the Indian Muslim in his efforts to restore to Turkey a fair share of those possessions which were wrested from her. There are 600,000,000 Asalic and Negro Muslims in the world. These Muslims have become tired of European aggression. They mean to be up and doing in defense of their religious freedom and the Khalifate. Turkey is the Khalifate and the Khalifate is Turkey. Muslims are not on the offensive, they are on the defensive. If, however, Britain shall continue her anti-Muslim and anti-Turkish policy, so much the worse for the British Empire, for the untested march of Islamic conversion is reaching out to the four great empires. British Revd. Englishmen and Englishwomen have embraced the Faith in "Christian England," and the Simon pure African is receiving the message of the Prophet of Arabia with an avidity which has caused consternation in the European camp of an exploring Christian() missionom. It is doubtless owing to the conditions prevailing in the Muslim world mentioned above that a conference of Foreign Minister was called in Paris, where the following terms of armistice have been drawn up and forwarded to Greece and the Angora Government. The conditions read: 1. Hostilities would cease between the Greeks and Turkish Nationalists on a date to be determined 2. The troops would retain their present general lines, the advance elements being withdrawn so as to leave ten kilometers between the two fronts 3. The duration of the armistice would be three months, and would be automatic, renewable until the signing of a present peace treaty. Each side would be privileged, however, to abrogate the armistice by notification fifteen days in advance of its expiration. It would appear that Kamel Pasha having rejected Lord Cursons' proposals to Izaz Pasha (which were briefly discussed in this column last week), England's Foreign Minister has seen the necessity for formulating plans which will be more satisfactory to the Nationalist government of Turkey and to the Muslim world at large. England has at length bowed to the Nationalist accepting a scheme which will restore Asia Minor with Smyrna to Turkey I say "accepting" because I doubt whether Lord Cursons's personal policy would permit him to grant any concessions to Turkey but for three very obvious and insistent danger. First, the ever-present Indian danger, second, the certainty that Cursons' beloved Greeks are doomed to be defeated; and in the third place, the pressure which he would bear upon the conference because of her Muslim interests, which are second only to England's. This is proved by French Premier Pierre Poincaré's retort to Lord Curson, who wanted assurances for the protection of Greek minorities in Smyrna. Poincaré remarked that, "The Greeks were not fundamentally hostile to the Turks." The same remark applies to Bulgarians. Serba, Montenegrina and even the Armenians, who always had a liberal share of Turkish government posts at home and abroad—alleged massacres notwithstanding. There never was any trouble in the Balkans under what British statesmen call "Turkish misrule" until Caristir Russia began her intrigues for the possession of Constantinople. The fact is, England cannot forget that the Turks are Asiatics and, therefore, colored people, and being colored as well as Islamic becomes an unparadicable crime in the eyes of the Anglo-Saxon. Did not a South African court convict a Turk in 1913 for having浸渍性 liquor in his possession on the ground that being a Turk he was an Asiatic, and therefore, although born in Europe, he was a colored man? The European — particularly the Anglo-Saxon — has politically divided the world into two camps—black and white. Those who are not European are "Niggers," whether they be Turks, Egyptians, Chinese, Japanese or any other "use." European forget that they owe their civilization to the African and Asiatic peoples. They do not give the ordinance of the original of civilization in Europe, but in the continents of Africa and Asia. There is a hopeful sign for Turkey in the conclusions arrived at by the conference of Allied Foreign Ministers at Paris. That Asia Minor, including Smyrna, and a large part of Thrace, should be restored to Turkey is a proof that the Indian and Islamic agitation has not been in vain and that Premier Poincaré has successfully impressed Lord Cursan with the French point of view, which has always been more or less pro-Turk There has been a considerable amount of bleating in the American press about Turkey and its unfitness to rule, and all of the usual anti-Turkish rubbish with which interested Anglo-Saxonism has spoon-fed the American press. Many of these American writers claim that Turkey should be driven out of Europe because it was owing to that fact that the American army went to France to make the world "safe for democracy" I am not in a position to state with accuracy what I judge the Allies gave to the United States, but I do not think that the cabinets of Allied (Continued on page 6) BOOK REVIEWS THE NEGRO POET THE BOOK OF AMERICAN NEGRO POETRY By James Walden Johnson son, Harcourt, Breese & Co., As Young's Bookstore, 181 West 133th st. $1.75. By ERIC D. WALSOND Not so very long ago I heard a man—one of the "stalwart intellects" of Harlem—say with a flare of braggadoids that he had "searched all through it" and could find nothing "new" or "distinctive in Negro poetry; that, like Negro music, it was the victim of monotony and "oneness of beauty." What was the man talking about? After reading James Weldon Johnson's "Essay on the Negro's Creative Genius," which is a preface to the press, he wrote: "Everything and everything this know it-all apostle and bellow in his ears: 'Here, read this!' But alas! so sweet a revenge is not in store for me." "It may be surprising," says Mr. Johnson, "to many to see how little of the poetry being written by Negro poets today is being written in Negro dialect. The newer Negro poets show a tendency to discard dialect, much of the subject matter which went into the making of traditional dialect poetry, possums, watermelons, etc., they have discarded altogether, at least as poetic material. This tendency will no doubt, be regretted by the majority of white readers, and, indeed, it would be a distinction loss if the American Negro poets throw away this quaint and musical folk-speech as a medium of expression. And yet, after all, these poets are working through a problem not realized in the past, and thereby, by many of these poets themselves not realized consciously. They are trying to break away from the dialect poem but the latter is inappropriate dialect imposed by the fixing effect of long convention. "The Negro in the United States is achieved or been placed in a certain artistic niche. When he is thought of artistically it is as a happy go-lucky, singing, shuffling, banjo-picking being as a more or less pathetic figure. The picture of him is in a log cabin amid fields of cotton or along the levies. Negro dialect is naturally and by long association the exact instrument for voicing this phase of Negro life. The Negro dialect is as a instrument with but two full stops-humor and patha. So even when he confines himself to purely racial themes, the Afroamerican poet realizes that there are phases of Negro life in the United States which cannot be treated in the dialect either adequately or artistically. Take, for example, the phases arising out of life in Harlem, that most wonderful Negro city in the world I do not deny that a Negro in a log cabin is more picturequeque than a Negro in a Harlem flat, but the Negro in the Harlem flat is here, and he is but part of the team growing everywhere in country, a group whose ideals so beaten by the traditionalist group, even if its members are less picturequeque. Of the poets mentioned in the anthology are Georgie Douglas Johnson, Claude McKay, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Phillis Wheatley, Jesse Faustes Leslie Pinkney Hill, Fenton Johnson William Stanley Brathwaite, R. Nathaniel Dett, Lucian R. Watkins, Anne Spencer, Benjamin Brawley and Allie Dumbar-Nelson. It is a volume every lower of the beautiful in poetry ought to possess, and Mr. Johnson has done a great racial work. Decidedly the best thing of its kind in print. Of the personal poets of today Max Eastman is perhaps the frankest. His book is a glittering mirror of a man's soul. As a matter of fact, it could be very appropriately named. The Soul of Max Eastman. It is a faithful exposition of his philosophy of the "Life" says he, "it older than liberty it is greater than revolution it burns in both campa. And life is what I love. And though I love life for all men and women, and so inevitably stand in the ranks of revolution against the cruel system of these times, I love it also for myself. And its essence—the essence of life—is variety and specific depth it cannot be found in monotonous secrecation to a general principle. Therefore I have feared and avoided this consacration, which cannot friends for some reason always expect me to emplify, and my poetry has never gathered so deeply as it might into those tempos of social change that are coloring our thoughts today. Indeed, there is a great deal that he said in favor of Max Eastman, he cavalry as great West Eastman. CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS MARCUS GARVEY Marcus Garvey spoke at Schenley High School last Friday night. A representative gathering turned out to hear him espouse his cause. Friends and critics of the Garvey movement chiefly composed his audience, with some few as neither friend nor foe, who were attracted to hear him out of sheer curiosity. And some there were who "went to scopf" and who, after listening to some irrefutable logic, "remained to pray." Whether radical or conservative, whether a member of the U. N. I. A. or not, in truth it must be acknowledged that Garvey is a leader. Verily he is a man with a vision and a plan. His may not be the perfect plan or vision. In reason it cannot be, for as a reformer and pioneer his dreams are but a be-ginning, an initial step in a new program of race advancement. The Garvey plan has been called an expression of the radical in the Negro. This is what the race needs. Granted that the movement is radical, it is not anarchistic, as some have pointed out. The movement needs to be understood. For the very reason that in the face of vehement protests Garvey has assembled a mighty group of adherents in this as well as other countries under the standards of the U. N. I. A. should compel a fair hearing of his cause before critical judgment is passed. Time will prove the wisdom and practicality of Garvey's "back to Africa" endeavor. But in the meanwhile Garvey is rendering a valuable service. He has given a concrete and definite answer to the desires, hopes and aspirations of a people to be everything anybody else is, while possessing the same things owned and controlled by other peoples. As no other Negro has done, Garvey has stimulated race consciousness. His efforts have done much to put stiffening in the backbone of the race. He has undertaken a gigantic task, but who knows now but that he is planting the good seed that the years will ripen into the perfect fruit—Jacob Smith.

The spirit of the followers was made manifest in poetry, prose and song. To the observer, Mr. Garvey was undisputedly the leader of his school. His disciples not only applauded, but gave a deep seated approval to all their leader had to say. They were sincere, enthusiastic and serious. Within five days after Mr. Garvey left Pittsburgh more than a thousand people attended a debate with the query: "Resolved, That the Marous Garvey movement will prove beneficial to the Negro." The judges rendered their decision according to the points made by the disputants. According to the judges, the negative won. On the same evening of the debate the N. A. A. C. P. the Du Bois organization, held memorial services in honor of Colonial Charles N. Young. There was a fluent speaker from New York city. There were about two dozen persons present. The meeting was a failure. Even the president of the local branch came, sat and left, apparently disappointed, without spending more than thirty minutes at the meeting. These happenings have a meaning. Something is the cause for every effect within the same week we see Garvey and his leadership of Du Bois, bate, and the leadership of Du Bois. In pittition, ignored. We are led to ask whether we are to proceed under the organizations we have, or shall we look for another? We are curious to know whether the colored people are yet ready to commit them to the present-day leadership. If the incidents reooted, and the Courrier has no partiality in the matter, are any indications whatever, at least so far as Pittsburgh is concerned, we are yet without a program acceptable to all, or a leader whose vision is the common vision of the people. We must look further for light. With our course so uncertain, we rise to ask, "Watchman, what of the night?" about the eyes, nausea, headache, pain or bleeding send at once for your doctor. Bathing is necessary for your health. Daily sponges or warm baths will keep the pores of the skin open. A Word to Fathers Bear in mind that your baby's future depends up you as well as upon your wife. Advise your wife to consult a doctor as soon as possible to make sure that everything is going on satisfactorily. Do not allow your wife to do too heavy work. Help her all you can. Save your money so that you can get for your wife and baby the things that may be necessary. CORRESPONDENCE TAKING THE EDITOR TO TASK Eric D. Walrond. Associate Editor "Negro World." Dear Sir, I like your pan pictures, but in your last article, entitled "Gastile d'Or," your picture seems to be at variance with the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. You refer to the queen with "ivory hands" or "ivory white hands." Should a queen necessarily have "white hands" and "pink skin?" O shades of white man! Mr. Editor, you are under its "hypnotic" spell. One more point, sir. Editors who write English should write it gram- matically. Bad grammar is your be- bating sin. There is no such word as "choosed." Thank you. A. B. JUNIOR. [Editor's Note - We shall be very deeply indebted to Mr Junior if he would be so kind as to point out to us the particular instance in which we used the word "choseed," as alleged by him] BY J. J. JACKSON TILFORD We read from International News Service of March 17, in the Herald-Examiner, the following: "Fifteen killed in British East Africa after agitator's arrest. Fifteen persons were killed at Nairobi, British East Africa, in disorders that followed the arrest of an Indian agitator, Gov. Kenya reported to the Colonial office this afternoon. "Unofficial press dispatches put the number of dead at twenty. The government troops sustained no casualties. Order has been restored, it was officially announced. The King's African rifles, a crank military unit, was called out and charged the natives with drawn bayonets, according to a later Hunter dispatch from Nairobi. "The natives paraded the streets, putting their women relatives in the front ranks to prevent the soldiers from shooting. The European element of the nomination is in terror." When man and women, native Africans, parade the street, marching with the spirit of Hamibal, in protest against the arrest of a nian agitator who teaches oppressed people to throw off the yoke of tyranny, and alien domination, and, when these natives suffer even unto death, in order to make their protest, effective, and, forcet, and necessitated the calling out of government. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 REVERIES Whence come 8 to this world of strife. This sphere of love, this vale of alghs? What called me to this form of life, This crest of truth, this trough of lilies? Where shall I go when I have done? Will nothingness my soul then claim? Must naught come of the struggles won? Shall I be called to praise or blame? But, let me question as I will, Entrailing silence answer me. My whence is hidden to me still, My hence is wrapped in mystery. ZORA NEALE HURSTON FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Continued from page 4) Europe could have given so sweeping a pledge as that of "driving the Turks back" from Egypt, when as late as January, 1918, Mr Lloyd George told the House of Commons that Turkey would not be thrust from Constantinople, neither would she lose Asia Minor nor Thrace. It is a well-known fact that much of the anti-Turkish twiddle which has appeared in the press of the United States has been the result of the whining propaganda of the Armenians and the alleged "cold-blooded massacre" of that nation. I would ask some of these writers who hold forth so gibly on a subject of which they know nothing to take the original pre-war population of Armenia, and to compute the number of Armenians said to have been done to death by the Turks from time to time during the war; then submit the latter total from the former, and it will be found that the answer will be the solution to the Armenian question—there will be no Armenians left. Seriously speaking, the Armenian atrocious joke is the joke of the century, and the Armenians, who are the greatest jugglers with the truth since the rather sudden demise of old Anatias, have successfully worked Christian sympathy and susceptibility in this country until the Armenians have no doubt begun to give credence to their threadbare romance. The real truth about Armenia is to be found in the fact that the Armenians joined the Russians against Turkey, their overlord. Turkish soldiers went to restore order were shot down in Armenia by Armenian civilians armed by Russia. The Turks took similar reprisals to those taken by England in Ireland, but the Armenians were not a Republic. That is all. A great deal is heard of Turkish atrocities in Armenia, but no one speaks of British atrocities in Ireland or India! New York Local Ops Grocery Store No. 2 The New York local will open on Saturday, April 1, 1922, at 646 Lanzo avenue, near 142d street, grocery store No. 2. This store will be the second store of the chain of stores to be operated in Harlem by this local. A thorough renovation of the building is being made and the store will be opened with a complete stock of staple and fancy groceries, West Indian and Southern products. All members of the local living in the vicinity of store No. 2 are requested to patronize this store. The commission merchant department received a third large shipment of food products this week from Virginia, South Carolina, Florida and South America. We received from Florida a shipment of grapefruit, lettuce and o.anges; from South Carolina a shipment of Southern yams; from South America a shipment of Brazilian nuts. These products, together with West Indian yams, edoos, plantain, pumpkin, coconut and peanuts, are on sale at grocery store Macy's. All farmers raising food products and desiring a market for same are requested to communicate with the Department of Labor and Industry, 88 West 105th street, New York City. ment troops because of fear of a general uprising, such a demonstration is conclusive proof of the new spirit of co-operation, loyalty and race consciousness that has permeated the mind of the African, that will soon culminate in a strong organised power that will strike the blow for self-determination and absolute freedom. Your history will tell you that the great Hannibal, an African general, at the age of twenty-six, with his strategic ability, courage and valor made the Romans tremble for a period of more than fifteen years, detaining them decisively and repeatedly. H. G. Wells writes in his Outline of History: "For fifteen years Hannibal held out in Italy, victorious and unconquered." The spirit of the great Hannibal still lives. That was a fair display of it in the native protest parade at Nairobi, British East Africa. In these times of oppression, agitation and unrest, who knows but what some day out of the dark continent of Africa will come the reincription of the matabless Hanbuni to lend his people' to victory? Longfall wrote as one verse of the psalms of life the following: 'Tut us then be up and Being, With a heart for any rate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learns to labor, and to wait.' BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN SOMEWHAT PERSONAL If there is one type of the genus Homo more than another that I utterly loathe and despise, it is the college graduate with a gift for being to follow like myself whose Alma Mater is the University of Adversity. Recently, I was approached by one of these clever prevaricators, who made a land and stinking profession in high school English of respect and admiration for my 'great abilities. He even accused me of being a profound scholar! To my great astonishment he did not drop dead, and his tongue was not palpated. He flattered me fulomely and persistently for at least five minutes, and then, when he thought he had me slapped me familiarly on the back, called me by my surname and andewored, by the use of much permasive eloquence, to separate me from one hundred cents, as a loan for an indiscrete period. Naturally, I refused to be worked, and I told this self-appointed Boswall that I had cut my wisdom teeth some once, and that I had been not susceptible to the blandishments, honey-fuging and horn-emorging that he was expelling. That I knew my limitations, had a working knowledge of human nature and understood the psychology of fattiness which is only a polite form of artistic living. Now, I hope I will be pardoned by my readers, if I say a few things, in this connection, about myself. I promise never again to advert to the subject. I am what is called a 'self-made' man and the job is not completely finished. I have never, in any place or at any time, been so immidest as to lay claim to being a scholar. I was born some dozen of years before a great many of these flatterers saw daylight and I was born a clave. I am not ashamed of my origin or of my race. I never have enjoyed the educational opportunities have, as if I had such opportunities. I would put them to better uses than some I know put theirs, but such as I have had I have put to the best possible use, according to my lights, and my humble name is known to more thousands of black and white readers throughout the world, than one of them lying flatterers could count in two years, working eight hours a day. Whattever I am as a man. I owe to my sainted mother of blessing, who, though unacquainted with books, (due to the fears of our Christian (7) civilization—white-to America) was a woman of noble impulses, high moral character and the possessor of a clear vision. She taught me all I know and taught me all I knew, and my fidelity to my friends, love and reverence to the Giver of all good, and the courage to speak my thoughts. I brake her name daily and honor her memory because to me, she was the best woman in the wide world. I have no illusion either as to myself or my race. I see everything I look at, and I usually use both eyes. As regards the present status of the Negro in America, I think I understand perfectly his limitations socially, religiously, industrially and politically and I know as every observant man of any race must, that we of Negro origin in America, are enjoying (1) to a very limited degree, certain rights and privileges only by the sufficiency of the white race; that if we are really as big as we sometimes feel, we might, occasionally, make a riffle on the water. I know all these things in so far as it is humanly possible for one to know anything, and I know as my friend Senior Carrion, of Porto Rica, a poet and philosopher once said, that "the fictitious man is a great liar—a dangerous man." Flatterers are usually fictitious men, and are conscious sometimes, though not often, unconscious liars. I have done. "I thank you." Senator Robinson, (Dem.) of Arkansas, seems to be thoroughly convinced that this country is in the shadow of war with a certain Anatole power, and that "we must be ready to fight on the Pacific." We wonder if Senator Robinson is apprehensive that the forthcoming war will be with the Japanese? If he is, we can tell him that all signs point that way and that it looks to us as though something interesting is about to occur within the next ten years or earlier. The impassive Jap has many scores to settle with Uncle Sam, and we believe he is now making arrangements to pay, pay, pay. The pledges he gave at the Arms Conference were with mental reservation and will not interfere with the plans he is now making, to do some business with Uncle Sam, in the Pacific in the very near future. We shall have plenty of war by and by, not only in the Pacific, but elsewhere, for nothing is ever settled until it is settled right, and as the great World War was not settled right, it will have to be gone over again after the nations get thicker wind. Another battle, inevitable, liveliable, certain. The Four Power Plot to the contrary, notwithstanding. The latest exploit of the "British troop" in Kenya, in East Africa, resulting in the killing of twenty Native African, whose only weapons were sticks and stones, with ball cartridges, in another evidence of the civilized If you are grilled with thematics, Carnival Glitter will look like white, pink, striple and purple glitter as an eyes glows in a Orchid with a little water. methods of the English in Africa there is coming a day of reckoning for England. Commission to Visit Liberia is Provided in Senate Bill WASHINGTON. March 15.—A resolution authorising the President to name a commission of seven to visit Liberia to further friendly relations with the United States was introduced today by Senator France, Republican, of Maryland. The commission would be instructed to discuss with the Liberian government methods which would serve to promote co-operation in state and commercial relations and to ascertain the economic needs of that nation. Africa is becoming more and more the centre of interest of the W.ite Nations of the earth and particularly of those intely engaged in the World War, who regard, and with good reason, the land of the Africans as the best "moral ticket" any European nation can possess and especially so at this time, when most of these nations are bankrupt or are on the verge of bankruptcy. The proud English, Belgians, French and other nations which have exploited Africa in the past are preparing to do so again on an even larger scale than they need the money to pay their war indebtedness a relief their overburdened taxpayers, and because its equivalent is to be found in the bowels of the soil of Africa, in great abundance. Senator France's resolution in the United States Senate is only another scheme of the White man to get the thin end of the wedge under Liberia, which is said to be one of the richest in mineral and other native products of any portion of Africa, except Gold Coast. It is surprising that the framer of the resolution omitted to include among the who are to form a commission a few Christian missionaries. The clever introduction of a few missionaries would disguise its subtitle and have robbed the resolution of the suspicion that the motive which prompts its introduction is soilsh that whatever 'nefels might follow, should it pass the Senate, will accrue in larger measure to the white rather than the African race. Leading daily newspapers like the 'Evening Sun' begin to dismine the virus of nefels in regard to the appointment of young lady to Annapolis, and to point out how he may be prevented from entangling that exclusive institution of learning which is supported by black and white taxpayers throughout the Union. It is the white newspapers of this country that keep alive the burning embers of race prejudice and bad feeling between the races. In stirring up sentiment against the admission of young Holley to Annapolis, among the young white men who are supported in that institution by the taxes of white and black citizens alike, we see the "Evening Sun" is pursuing an unconventional in as much as Congressman Annsorage, made in faith, this appointment of young Holley, it is to be hoped that he will be alive to all these underhanded methods to defeat his desire to do justice to his Negro constituents. HEARIN' THINGS I am not extremely superstitious, though I confess to having had ground into me in my early youth considerably more of it than I now have any immediate or occasional use for I frankly admit that I don't fancy having a black cat run across my path, and I do not like to meet a cross-eyed woman or to stump my right foot or to fall up steps when I am going anywhere on business. I do not like to spill salt or to hear a dog howl at night. There are two or three other things in this "sign" business I do not like, but I will not now allude to them. I object very seriously to having spirits or people, or whatever it is, that I cannot see but can distinctly hear walking through my house at all hours of the night sitting at the table with me when I go into my dining-room to a midnight lunch and who leave abruptly without discovering their identity. I am not afraid of ghosts and if they really exist I should like to see one. I hear them quite often and they often pass me on the street, but I have never seen one of the criteria. AMERICA'S NEGRO COD-FIQH ABSTRACTOR One of the stillers and most amusing phases of Negro life in the United States or in the West Indies who have been slaves or who are the descendants of slaves is the chatter among certain types of fully bleached and half-bleached Negroes about peddlecolor and social superiority of one group over another because of admiration, color, kultur and certain advantages derived from a not always too honorable contact of their forbears with their white mastura. The Negro race having been and still is to a great extent a race dependent upon the enmersion of the white race for whatever privileges it now enjoys, whether these be civil, social or political, cannot reverse the history of subject alien races by becoming suddenly metamorphosed from a plbian and slave race into an aristocratic and patrician race. It can acquire the education, culture, refinement, etc. of the patrician race, just as a rose may acquire by gift another name, but it will still be a rose and the odor and fragrance it emits will always identify it. We are moved to make these comments after having read a most interesting article from the pen of Y. Andrew Robinson, a newly discovered star in the Negro literary firmament which has been published in Leailles' Illustrated Weekly the March under the caption, "Color Lines Among Colored People." Mr. Robinson treats his subject with considerable humor, caricam and wit. His article is sure to provoke emiles of amusement from the descendants of those white people in American and in the West Indies who invented the bleaching-out process and used it industriously and faithfully for several centuries in an effort to add new types to the human family which could have no place in natural history and therefore no scientifically recognized ethnological standing. "God made man in His own image and likeness," and when He did this He finished His work in so far as the making of the human species was concerned. Evidently He know what He wanted and what He was doing after the dispersion when He fixed the mates and bounds of the races which settled the earth. I am quite ready and willing to give the Almighty full credit for the excellence, thoroughness and completeness of His Work as the Great Architect of the Universe and the Greater of Men. It is perfect. Let us give thanks! Now, Mr. Robinson, in his amusing article, tells of a lot of man-made types in the race, a lot or most of whom think they are better and different from the original "Lode of Kolr" from which they were extracted a little over three hundred years ago. There is not one of this type of new fashioned one idea. His accoust back in an unbroken line four hundred years or who can give the nurnames and given names of his great-great-grandfathers and grand-mothers. There are few white people, if any, in this country, or out of it, who could do the same, or who perhaps would care to take the risk. Ancestor hunting sometimes leads to unpleasant discoveries. We have neither the gme nor the inclination to advert to the interesting things Mr. Robinson has said; but we gladly subdue to the continuing sentence in this article, "The caste is comedy" i.e. for all this foolishness which is making the caste and colored craged Negro round shouldered and white people to laugh, as they must, with gife. BRUCE-"GRIT." See Bee Records An acute contagious disease characterized by catarth of the respiratory tract, moderate fever, and red papular eruption which appears from the third to fourth day, lasts four or five days, and is followed by bran-like desquamation. Cause of the Disease Measles is highly contagious, and the poison may be transmitted through clothes and other tumes. The contagion is apparently associated with the nasal and bronchial secretion, but it has not been isolated. Measles is most commonly observed in children, but unprotected adults are very liable to be attacked. It is essentially an epidemic disease, but now and then sporadic cases occur. One attack usually confere immunity against subsequent attacks. The lesions consist in catarrh of the entire respiratory tract. Gastro-indefinal catarrh is not uncommon. In fatal cases such complications as catarrhal pneumonia and pulmonary collapses are frequently observed. Incubation period, 10 to 16 days. Symptoms—The invasion is characterized by catarrhal symptoms—photophobia, redness of the eyes, increased lacrimation, ensuing, discharge from the nose, hoarseness, cough, and, in older children, expectoration. The fever—The temperature, stress rapidity to 103 or 164, on the second day there is often a decided, remission which continues until the fourth day, when the eruption appears; at this time it again rapidy runs up, or beyond its original height, where it remains for three or four days and then falls by rapid lyma or criseis. The Eruption—This appears about the third or fourth day on the face, and rapidly spreads over the entire body. It is composed of small dark, red, velvety papules which form groups having crescentile borders. There is often much burning and itching of the skin. In three or four days the eruption begins to fall, and a brassy desquamation soon follows. Minute blush-white specks surrounded by a red arcea may be seen in strong daylight on the mucous, membrane of the cheeks and the one, or two days before the skin eruption appears. Complications—Bronchial pneumonia and acute gastro-intestinal tafarrh are the most common.

N. I. A. BUILDING IN MONTREAL Establishment of "Wm. Ferris High School" Also Under Way—Montreal Literary Club Making Tremendous Headway By V. M. P. LANGSTON There is a movement on foot to purchase a building to be devoted to the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. At present a great deal of opposition is in sight, as the professional leaders are not with us. However, it is taking wings, and we can hope for great things in the very near future. Montreal is determined to do its bit! The Literary Club held its regular weekly meeting at 243 St. Antoine street with Mr. Hall in the chair and Mr. Langton, secretary. The meeting was not well attended, owing to adverse weather. The chairman announced that in future the club's meetings would be held at 158 Gay street on Thursday. The William Ferris High School will be opened at 243 St. Antoine street as usual and work carried on separate from the meetings of the Literary Club. The understanding was, however that the club and school will operate harmonically until such arrangements are quiried by the U. N. J. A. Many members who in the past avoided coming out surprised the meeting by able addresses on questions of the day. There might have been a touch of timidity in some of the speakers, but the addresses were good. The speakers were: H. Nanton on "Thinking Whistle on Your Foot," Mr. McKinley on "Women's Suitrage," Mrs. I. Saby on "Immigration," Mr. E. H. Hall on "Race Prejudice," Mr. G. S. Theodore on "Preparation for Public Speaking." Mrs. A. DeShields on "Women's Rights." Mrs. A. DeShields on "The Woman of Today." Mr. E. Landon on "Woman's Achievement." As was announced the Literary Club held its regular meeting at 183 Gay street on Thursday, March 9, with the president, Mr. James Gibson, in the chair and Mr. Langton, secretary, and over 66 others. Its program was: Piano solo, William B. Bell; song, Mra. McKinley; song, Mr. Murray; song, Mrs. Bonner; piano solo, Mra. J. Montan; recitation, Miss Butler; lecture, Mr. C. Este; vote of thanks to Mr. Este, Mr. Vanghn; piano solo, Mra. Bonner; extension of congratulations and thanks to contributors to program, Mrs. C. Dohieldha; presentation of silvers to Mrs. Chesterfield for faithfulness in interest of division by Black Cross Nurses and Literary Club, Miss A. Dohieldha. In introducing Mr. Este the president said that arrangements were made with Mr. Este to lecture at the club, and this night he will deliver his first lecture of a sorries of six. Mr. Este lectured on elocation. He handled his subject well and in detail. Miss Butler was also very good and very imaginative. The program having been carried out a sport began playing a "dance tune." The hall was cleared in quick time. Various musicians played and dancing was carried on till 3 a.m. COMMISSIONER WALLACE TOURING MICHIGAN DETROIT. Mich., March 22.—The High Commissioner, W. A. Wallace, for the State of Michigan, rounded out his tour of the State in an immense mass meeting held at Turner's Hall, Detroit. Mich., on March 17. By his cogent logical discourse the audience was taken off its feet, and he was continually interrupted as he proceeded with his fierce, logical declamation on his "red letter" day speech, "Africa for the Africana." Those who previously had heard the Commissioner in his now famous speech, "The Rape of Africa, the Crime of the Age," came out with great conspiracy on the announcement of his speech in this city, and the hall was crowded with enthusiastic people. The program was interpersed with musical numbers and several memoritious speeches from local talent, and when the Commissioner arose to speak the immense audience rose in a great demonstration, selling for His Excellency Marcus Garvey and cheering for the High Commissioner, W. A. Wallace. After some time, when the Commissioner was able to quiet the audience, he proceeded with his speech. He spoke of the mighty leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the fallacious propaganda of white supremacy. He said, "This highlighter of white supremacy is the most colorful hallway of the time, built upon fraud and exploitation and perpetrated by a unimposed system of lies and deception that cannot possibly stand." He impressed upon the audience the necessity of every Negro preacher using the Sunday school as an avenue to teach race consciousness, by occupying room in the time each Sunday in teacher Negro history, that our race may possibly regain its proper vision of social possibilities.

I. A. PUERTO BARRIOS, Guatemala. The division of the U.N.I.A celebrated its second anniversary on Sunday, March 12. The ladies of the Black Cross Nurses, all the auxiliaries and the officers were in full uniform. President Davis presided. A well-arranged program was presented. After giving a special ovation to the President General a musical program was rendered by the chair. An address was made by L. A. Davis. Commissioner C. S. Bourse who recently returned from British Honduras, and the chairman of the Honorary Advisory Board, delivered stirring addresses. Speeches were also made by Vice-President H. A. Chandler. Lady President Mrs. Bronster Mr. Barton Rardciffe and little Miss Elma Ford, who made a fine talk on Garveyism. Special mention should be given the organist, Mrs. Martinez, and Choirmaster Arthur for the manner in which the choir acquitted themselves. Taxed Luderita, S. W. Protectorate. Africa —The oppression under which we groomed during the administration of the affairs of this colony under the Germans sinks into comparative insignificance when compared to the present regime, which boasts a mandate from the League of Nations. Laws calculated to deprive us of our meagre earnings are being enacted regularly. The very homes, such as they are, in which we live are taxed to the limit and very often overtaxed. The very water we use here is taxed beyond endurance. And the worst of it is that we have no say whatever in the government. Not even a school house has been provided for our children, nor a teacher paid by the government. The one teacher here was sent for at Capetown and is paid by the people out of their meagre earnings. An attack was made on the U N I. A. Branch here in a clause they call the "Sunday observance bill," knowing that our meetings are conducted every Sunday evening in the premises of one of our sons of the soil, and as it is the only hall in the vicinity, and also a place of amusement there is a clause in the section forbidding the premises to open. Where the clause is a flaço is evident in that it doesn't prevent the other fellows from playing cricket, football and tennis. What is most urgently needed here in the protectorate is a thorough investigation of the prevailing conditions among the natives, for the real facts will never be known outside of the protectorate nor from the official quarters, for the poor people are not intelligent enough even to voice their own grievances. They are billed to such an extent that they are partly lost with thoughts among themselves, and a finer race of men no one dares to dispute. But, Zochiel, baware of the day When the lowlands shall meet thee in battle array! ASHEVILLE U. N. L. A. HAS LIVELY MEETING A very lively meeting was staged by the Asheville (N. C.) Division No. 252 on Sunday, March 12. The meeting was presided over by the president, Mr. William Brown. Prayer was offered by Brother Young. President Brown made a brief but pointed address, impressing upon his hearts the necessity of Negroes everywhere getting together now and doing things for themselves. He spoke in highest terms of Hon. Maruse Garvey, the matchmaker leader of the new Negro. Brother Ned Young, officer of the Advisory Board, and Mrs. Diser, also made fortable addresses. The meeting closed at 5 p.m., with the singing of the National Anthem and the hymn, "Food Be With You Until We Meet Again." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 HIGH COMMISSIONER W. A.

We were pleased to find out that there were still great possibilities here for the future, just as soon as our men get to work.

We all would like to see our great President-General, Mr Marcus Garvey, but since we cannot, we are delighted to hear about him through our Commissioner President J N Parr is doing all he can under the conditions to push the work against an overwhelming amount of unreasonable and senseless opposition COMMISSIONER SHERRILL EXPECTED AT DIV. 348 Hon Wm J Sherrill, High Commissioner of the State of Ohio, is scheduled to address the members of Division 348 on March 26, 27 and 28, 1922.

General Secretary. Sydney, N. E. Canada, March 20, 1923 If there is a division of the U. N. I. that can say it has passed through its greatest battle and come out with its colors flying that division is the Sydney branch of this great association. From October, 1921, since the Commissioner left for his trip to the great west, men whom we had looked upon as patriots and brought them in our midst and paid them a fat salary to administer to the needs of our people, have used as a propaganda cause of discharged and discredited members for something known as African Doxology, or something of that sort. The people became divided and the plotters who bite the hats that gave them bread, nearly succeeded in carrying out their非若ious a theme. The members seemed to have not all interest, and a generalominating in the attendance of the readings soon set in. Their spirit became more and more demoralized, and enthusiasm which once characterized their efforts was no longer present. That ardor with which the slogan 'Africa for the African' was formerly discussed among the people, was no longer in evidence. In a word the Sydney Division became a mere shadow of its former self. The situation cost our noble president and his loyal officers many an anxious moment and many a sleepless night, asking ourselves. What is the proper thing to do at this critical moment to save the situation? Many suggestions were offered as the most likely means of solving the problem, and although these suggestions differed in a more or less degree, yet all seemed quite compatible and worthy of acceptance. We, however, decided to call on the parent body to step in and handle the situation; this they did by referring us to Hon George D. Creece, Commissioner. We could not have the presence of the Commissioner at this time, because he was far away in Alberta, so we were in for a long waiting. At last one day came when this gentleman arrived in town, and in spite of him being in poor health at the time, he took hold of the situation, and today we are all smiling over the change that has come to the Sydney Division. The olimax of this victory came on the night of February 28 when, by the unanimous vote of the members, and the leadership of the High Commissioner, we assembled in our hall for the reorganization of the division and the election of officers. Of all the meetings ever held by this NOW READY All divisions of the Improvement Assiquested to send in New Constitutions as amended at the Secretary-General By O UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMP All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General INSP.-GEN'L OF LEGIONS VISITS KANSAS CITY Thrilla Audience with Tales of Travel in Asia and Africa By GEO. THOMAS KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 19, 1922 — We had with us on the afternoons of March 12 and 19 Mr. McKinney, Inspector General of Legona. He told us of the promise made by Jehovah 200 years ago, saying that when Princes come out of Egypt Ethiopia would stretch forth her hand. He told us of the lies books and papers have told about our people in Africa. He told of his travels around the world, covering principal ports of China, Europe, Ceylon, Java, India, Burma, Malay States and Africa, and spoke of the fine modern utilities systems in Africa. He told also how a deceptive propaganda has been spread by white people and how our people believe it and snub the association. He told us the regions were to fight the weak kneed Negro and not the whites. He told us that tribes were already driving whites out of Africa. He told of men joining the organization to get easy money and cheating the association for their benefit. He said we need more men like Marcus Garvey and told of him having been shot four times and arrested sixteen times, but not convicted once. EESE PUTS VISION ON ITS FEET out of Mire of Difficulties— Selected President division since it has been organized, that which in all probability will occupy the most imperishable page in its history occurred on the night of February 28. Commissioner Creese presided, and directed the election that night, and it was especially due to his stern personality and iron will that the meeting terminated so successfully. Owing to some misleading ideas sown in the minds of members by some unscrupulous officers, with the object of accomplishing some alister purpose, the meeting in the beginning assumed a very redoubtable champion of the new Negro—the Hon. George D. Creese, that perfect order was restored. His authoritative voice into the hearts of his hearers, acted like oil on troubled waters, and the meeting resumed a perfect calm, the ship of state was skillfully piloted along the treacherous reefs and brought to safe anchorage in quiet waters. Hence the end of a perfect day, with one more laurel added to the over-increasing chain of Hon. George D. Creese, High Comm. slogon for Canada. Whether the reflection has affected a permanent or temporary cure of all the division ails, one can hardly say at this time, but we can safely say, it has done the division a wealth of good. The members have been aroused from their lethargic slumber, and have passed the yawning abyss which was threatening to engulf us. We have passed through the valley of the shadow of death, and 1923 bids fair for the progress of our division. Following are the officers elected for the year Mr James Hoyte, reelected president Mrs. Emma Green, lady president Mr Alphonso Crick, first vice-president, Mr Joseph Harris, second vice-president, Mr Sidney Bynos, reelected chaplain Mr Amos Gibson, secretary-general Mr Soymore Brewster, assistant secretary; Mr Joshua Best, reelected treasurer, Mrs. Estella Scantlebury, assistant treasurer; Captain Ianao Phills, reelected captain U A.

Tootewith his party. Dr Eason and Mrs. B. Williams, and then a visit of Capt E. L. Gaines, the Minister of the African Legion, and last, but not least a two-day campaign by the High Commissioner the Hon W L. Sherrill, the whole Columbus has caught a new vision and it is highly encouraging to see the flocking in of new and old members. The I N I A has truly come to stay in the city. The fight is on and the Negroes of Columbus are realizing that their only salvation for the future lies with their Joining up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The arrest of our great leader, the greatest of all living Negroes, Marcus carne has only helped to stir up more interest in this and other divisions Surely God moves in a mysterious way, and the recent wicked and malicious arrest of the only leader of the Negro today has helped materially to open the eyes of those who were sleeping His arrest has been a blessing in disguise and, so instead of doing the organization harm it has served as a boost to the great work. The enemies have really under-estimated the spirit of the new Negro No. air, no obstacles, however, great, can deter the new Negro from feeling the path that has been carved out by the greatest of all organizations, the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Big plans are now on foot to have the President-General, Marcus Garvey here for five days during the month of May, when all the surrounding divisions will be invited to attend, so that a mighty demonstration of U. N. I. A. spirit will be exhibited in the capital city of the State of Ohio, The great Memorial Hall will be secured to carry out this program. We expect then that all the 23,000 Negroes who are in Columbus will see fit to link up themselves with the only organization that is seeking complete freedom for the Negro race all over the world. Friends of Columbus, let us all work together for the total emancipation of our race, so that when the history of the movement is written Columbus will take a very prominer. place on the pages of that book. There is absolutely no time for petty things. The program for African redemption is large enough to occupy every bit of our time. Remember, the world is looking on, and as Negroes who are just waking up out of the ninety of 300 years, we can not allow small matters to impede the progress of this mighty movement No, brothers and sisters, come along and join those who are striving for a happier and freer life on God's green earth. The division meets at the Dunbar Hall every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night, and occasionally on the other nights when the different auxiliaries have a program on.

SPECIAL NEGRO EVENING STAGED IN ARLINGTON HALL The "Liberator" magazine of which Claudio McKay, the Negro poet, is one of the editors, is putting on a special Negro evening at Arlington Hall, 23 St. Marks Place, 8th street, near 3d avenue, on Sunday evening, April 2. Every phase and aspect of the Negro question will be discussed at this meeting. Prof. William H. Ferris, Literary Editor of the Negro World, has been invited as one of the speakers representing a definite policy to be pursued by the colored race. He has been asked to interpret the Garvey movement, but his western lecture tour will probably prevent his accepting the invitation.

Broodie, President of Colon (R. P.) Branch of U. N. L. A. 65, 165 Hudson Jane The entertainment started with the opening ode, "From Greenlanda Icy Mountain" and prayer.

The wonder tree was decorated with all kinds of prices, also the colors of the Rod, Black and Green, and each person received a prize according to number. Ice cream, cool drinks and cakes were served, which made merry the hearts of all present. Many thanks must be given to Mrs Morales, Lady President, along with her colleagues, Mrs Greenlee, First Lady Vice-president, Miss Campbell, Second Lady Vico-president Miss Haughton assistant Treasurer, and many others too numerous to mention, for the sympathetic way in which they kept the audience served with such as was provided for this special occasion. Also Mr St. Rose, chairman of Trustee Board, and Mr. Best, First Vice President, Songs and recitations were rendered by various other parties. Big Crowd Attend Baton Rouge Division Meeting BATON ROUGE, La. The largest audience ever assembled in the city o Baton Rouge to be colored speakers was in attendance at the unveiling of the Baton Rouge Division Charter in Dythian Temple Sunday afternoon, March 19. Enthusiasm in behalf of the movement ran high at this meeting Mr William Phillips portrayed to them the wonderful work of the U N I A, and introduced the High Commissioner Hon. Thou W. Anderson, who held this vast throng spiralbound for one hour and thirty minutes speaking on one the Jobes Negro Must Get Together Today or Fight Each Other Tomorrow. He said in part, in these United States of America we have 15 000 000 Negroes. Fifteen million pairs of hands strong and useful. Fifteen million different sets of brain and willpower. More Negroes inhabit this country than there were citizens in ancient Home yet home was the mistress of the world more Negroes than lived in an ancient Carthage yet Carthago caused Home to tremble and was mistress of the sea more Negroes here than followed at the heels of Moses that would fall to the Fifteen million Negroes here strong beautiful and haughty yet well we are our credit. Look that has we to transmit to our children. Look to Garvey You black men and women who have fed the lash of the slave driver, who have heard the call of the slave master who have had their life's blood drawn from their precious bodies who have have given more till night for the coming of a deliverer who who have lived in dark days and starless nights. I say look to Marcia Garvey the valiant leader for he brings you what yo long have sought. Rev It It It has delivered the welcoming address and Mrs Mary White delivered the intrigue response Baton Rouge is committed to troop the lending station in the state. GATUN, C. Z., DIVISION HAS PINK TEA PARTY Representative Stevena Thrilla Audience with Eloquence and Logic By U. G. AYRE On Monday night, March 12, the Gatun division had a very successful pink tea part. The attendance was remarkable and musicians from Colon furnished the music. There were representations from various divisions, as follows: Brother G Williams from Gambia Division No. 5 Brother C West and Brother Allnby from Colon Chapter and Brother J H Stevens from No. 14, Panama Addresses were made by the representatives but apel mention must be made of Brother J H Stevens of No. 14. Pannma, who with his eloquence kept the audience at bishop Sister L Godge, second vice-president Ladder Division and Brother U Godfrey Ayre, executive secretary of No. 2. gave a mandolin and guitar solo which was quite appropriate. Brother John Newerson, who was chairman, conducted the occasion to the best of his ability. The committee for the occasion were Sister Ella Ward, lady president; Sister E. Rankin, first vice-president; Sister Gertrude Lodge, second lady president; Sister Annie E. White, treasurer; Sister Eva Brown, head Black Cross Nurse; Sister Jane Porter and Sister Florence Lewis. Those valiant ladies are to be congratulated for their entertaining spirit and student skill for the betterment of our race. BOSTON, Mass., March 12—It was ladies' day and the meeting of Sunday, the 19th, was under the sole direction of the ladies of the division. Mrs. Dillon, the lady president, presided, and with a regularity characteristic of the sex, a program as instructive as enjoyable was rendered. Her opening remarks were a strong appeal to the women of the race to stand determinedly by the cause. It ought to be apparent to the Boston men present that they will not lack incentive in the struggle if it is to flow from the women of this division. The wares of the various auxiliaries were presented without exception and furnished good food for thought and enjoyment. The recitations of Miss Taylor and the little Misses Barrett and McPherson were loudly applauded. Measuring up to expectations, the already popular choir and band contributed many selected selections. As solosists Mrs. H. hankson, Mrs. Cooper McDowell and Miss Duncan gave impressive testimonies. Their singing can best be qualified by the fact that each found it imperative to respond to encores. The Ladies' Glee Club took this occasion to introduce itself to the members and friends of the division. The good singing was well received and we think they made a big hit. A communication crowd, with helpful thoughts and coming from Captain Willimus of the Motor Corps was read at the meeting. Mrs. Willima, who was kept away through illness, refused to be defeated in her desire to do her part. This example of religious loyalty was much appreciated. Among the speakers of the evening were Mrs. Headley and Mrs. Archibald, who delivered two much-limited lectures. Miss H Wright, president of the Northeastern Federation of Colored Women's Club, was the principal speaker of the evening. Hers was a speech remarkable for its fine logic, with special emphasis on Negro unity. The audience was well satisfied with her timely remarks, and when the lady more emphatically asserted her convictions in the good or the movement by joining, vented her appreciation in prolonged cheering. Boston looks forward to the next Ladies Day with much anxiety. Hats off to the ladica. REDEMPTION OF AFRICA WILL COME ABOUT, SAYS DR. JONES LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Least Sunday a big crowd in an unprecedented outburst of enthusiasm demonstrated that the I N I. A. and Garveyiam is planted in Los Angeles to stay. The occasion was: a meeting of the branch here, hundreds being present. The Legion band played the Universal Ethiopian Anthem. As the last notes faded, the tremendous gathering showed its appreciation and approval by loud applause Dr H H Jones, the speaker of the afternoon, held his audience spellbound as he graphically told of the possibilities of the Motherland, gained by his fourteen years of life in Africa. "We all got off at Jamestown, Va. in May, 1603," said the speaker; "some of us may not have lost anything in Africa, but somewhere between these shores and the shores of our Motherland all of us have lost our manhood, civic and political rights. We are sojourning in a strange land begging for the place of a man, we will get that place only when the prophecy of Marus Garvey comes to pass." Tumultuous applause greeted the remarks. He exhorted his hearers not to hate, as nothing can be accomplished by hatred. The race will be oppressed until it thinks black, sees black, acts black. The black man is no longer afraid of death when contending for his rights. Continuing he said: "The commercial possibilities of Africa are great, because of its minerals and iron ore, and the probability of its redemption is only a matter of time." A generous contribution manifested the enthusiasm and approval of the record-breaking throng. A delicious repast prepared and as ved by the Marous Garvay Circle brought a successful meeting to a close. WILLIAM A CORBIN. DRAMA GIVEN BY SANTIAGO DIVISION SANTIAGO, Cuba—a drama entitled "Ethiopian Redemption" was written and staged by Enzo Ledovio Allick. Recitations were rendered by the Misses McLaren and McCarthy, also by Miss Rafaelo Thomas and Ellen Walters, to the delight of the crowd. The choir sang several numbers. Miss Edna Taylor, in her usual style, Lieut. Rose and Mr. Allick rendered solos. Master Bailey delivered a short talk on "Men Are Wanted to Clear the Way." A song and dance by Miss Griffith and Whittle completed the program. INTERESTING MEETING AT. DIVISION 114 One of the best meetings of Division 114 of the U. N. I. A. was held at John's P. U. Church, Califon street, March 16. The program was a very long and interesting one. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 BLACK CROSS NURSES PLEDGE THEIR SUPPORT The Black Cross Nurses of Division No. 26 Bountie Wash, are coily behind the President General in this fight for Free Africa. In a commemoration signed by Mrs. Jennie Palla, Lady President, and Mrs. Durah Secretary, they address him as follows: Hen. Marcus Carvey: Ct.-We, the Black Cross Nurses of Division No. 26 tender to you our love and sympathy in your grief, for whatever befalls you befalls us. We pledge our unfinishing support to our President General and all his officers. We are determined to stand by you, for we have unshaken confidence in you, for we know we are on the right path, and are united for One God, One Aim, One Destiny." HON. HARCUS GARVEY ASSURES THE PEOPLE (Continued from page 7) see. A race that despares itself, that has no faith in its own possibilities and belief in its own destiny can only mark time and go forward at the command and direction of other races. We have been confronted with a peculiar situation in the Western world. The doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro has been preached. The amazing the achievements of our race together, and in this age of conflict and competition, the going out and winning our spurs and battling down obstacles are some of the means which we can demonstrate that the old-fashioned doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro was a lie. We read a few weeks that Rene Maran, a West Indian Negro, won the Goncourt prize in France; and I am told by the Secretary-General that out of the heart of Africa has arisen a new writer and novelist who has written a book that is considered a masterpiece of literature. It shows that there is more intent power wrapped up in the Negro than the world has imagined; and I believe and I am assured of the fact that the new faith, the new hope, the new confidence, the new respect which the U.N. will have in the permanent characteristic of the new race and out of that will spring a new day and a new generation. (Applause). LADY MENRIETTA VINTON DAVID GREACK Lady Heuristra Vinton Davia, International Organizer, spoke as follows: Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa and President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Feinow Officers of the Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Friends: As our great leader has told you, I am on the eve of my departure for other fields and pastures new, probably. It is, however, with a feeling of very deep regret that I leave you, but I must go where duty calls me, and wherever that duty is I never shrink from going to perform it. I never hesitate to fulfill the commands of our President General; wherever he sends me I go cheerfully, hoping to do my duty well and thoroughly. However, I leave with you my very best wishes, especially in your spring campaign that will be launched forth, and I especially ask you, each and every one, to bring a new member into the New York local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us double our members by the first of August, so that when the coming great convention, the greatest of all conventions that we have held, shall open on that day, the New York local shall stand out—stand out in numbers, stand out in finance. New York Division Leads I know you cannot be compared with any other local for your loyalty to this great cause and to the leader of this cause. New York stands first, and let her keep her place as first. There are others who would like to stand first in this great organization. Philadelphia runs you a second close, you know Cincinnati is not far behind; Chicago is looking towards this great convention, and will be here in large numbers. But as the International Organizer, and especially as the Lady President of the New York local, I beg you to hold your own. Hold high the banner of the New York local because every one of the Executive Council when they are on the field cannot help but refer to the New York local, they cannot help but speak of the great crowds that come here to Liberty Hall on Sunday night; they cannot help but speak of the spirit of Liberty Hall, of the enthusiasm of the people who attend Liberty Hall. So don't lose one inch of ground that you have gained, but keep steadily onward and upward until weave reached the great goal of our ambition. Great Movement Unhered in at Psychological Moment Our leader, the Hon. Marcuss Garvey, brought forth this great movement at the psychological moment; then we Negroes of the world needed a leader, a leader that we could confide in, a leader who had the courage of his opinions, a leader that would not back down for anybody, or any government, knowing that the principles of the organization were just, that God was in this movement. And so we, his followers, can do no less than stand in his footsteps and proclaim the gospel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the war at large. We thank God for this great leader. We ask God to ever be with him to divinely shelter him and keep him. We ask that ~d. will give him long life, that he may carry on this great work, because I know of no man so well fitted for the Leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the Hon. Marcuss Garvey. (Abbreviation) tion. He is a man commissioned by God to lead us to the Promised Land. He well knows that nowhere in this Western hemisphere can we reach the goal of our ambition; that we are an oppressed and a captivated people. Therefore it behooves every one of us to gird up his loins to prepare for the coming battle—the coming conflict of the earlier peoples of the world; prepare to equip ourselves well, to do our parts noble, and by doing all things well that come in our way day by day we will be prepared to take hold of the larger things that God has intended for us. (Apylanassa) Cant. E. L. Gaines Sneaks Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Leaders,ooks in part as follows: Your Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Officers and Members of the High Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Division, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am delighted, at having the pleasure of meeting you this evening in order to greet you for a few moments concerning the work of the greatest organization at the present time in the world—the greatest organization that has a been instituted in the world since the days of creation. (Applause.) I want to say to you that, because of the wisdom given by the Mighty God to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, he has launched one of the greatest movements the world has ever seen. So great is it, that even the white people today all over the world are talking about it and taking off their hats to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) I want to say to you that he comes forth like the "plumed knight" of Democracy; he steps forth as the master mind, and the Negro peoples of the world on to victorious request, on to glory, and if you will immerse this good old ship, it will eventually land you easily in your mother's land, over there where they do not lynch you, in fact, the only way that you can ever get to Africa is by sticking to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) "Dicty" Negroes Denounced Don't pay any attention to these称led "dicty" Negroa, because there's nothing really "dicty" in them, and there never was. They are what may properly be termed the "white man's nigger." (Laughter and applause.) I want to say, my friends, that we have a chiefman of whom we may well be proud; and I must go down to the land of the South to see if I can sharpen my apurs for the next convention. He has ordered me to go, and I must obey his orders; he is my chief, you know; and if you hear of the Minister of Legions falling, you will know that he fell with his face to the enemy, and never with his back to them. (Applause.) Movement Will Never Be Broken Up My friends, this organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was started to deliver Negroes from under the curse of the broken law of the alien. Every Negro organization that has been formed since the days of slavery has been broken up by these "dicty" Negroes (roars of laughter), but let me tell you, here's one Negro organization that will never break up. (Great applause!) I know that we have enemies all over. I know that there are those who are looking forward to seeing the downfall of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; but, thank God! just a few months ago some Negroes brave in heart and ready to die for their people, came on this rostrum and signed their names to the greatest declaration that has ever been written by Negroes since the palmy days of the African Pharaohs; and since that time when we came on this rostrum and signed our n mes to that glorious and memorable document, if it had been required of us—the majority of us—we would have opened our breasts and taken the pen and inscribed our names above our heart, with our own blood because we are determined that by the power of the Mighty God the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on forever, with the glory and honor to God, and by the redemption of Afrin, and that by and by, out on the green fields of the valley of Nile, somewhere—I don't care where—we will hear the Hen Marcus Garvey, after having reached our dear mother land and crossed his command, in stentorian tones, "Captain, get your men ready, for we are about to take possession of the Promised Land!" (Laughter and applause.) And when that time comes I don't want to be found wanting, so I ask your prayers. This I say in all earnestness, for I believe in the power and in the efficacy of prayer. So I ask you to fall on your knees once in a while and send up to heaven your prayers for this great organization of cura, for your great leader and for your humble servant who now stands before you, for I know the day is coming when the Negro peoples of the world shall be the greatest people, known on the continents of this earth. Prephetic Outlook of Gigns of Times Read the signs of the times. Look at India and the great leader of her people, Mahatma Gandh. Look at Arabia. Look at Egypt. Look at Scotland. Look at Ireland, which within the last few months, after centuries of struggle, at last failed her freedom. Then turn your eyes toward Canada, who will soon throw up her hands and cry out: "Give me liberty or give me death, England!" And just as soon as Canada throws up her hands you will see Australia throw up her hands and say: "England, give me liberty or give me death!" When that comes—and come it must—England will fly to put out her times of battle and fly in storm the tide and hold in chase her surrender nation; but those efforts to do so will be full of Them: the Nations of Africa, without fighting or without sanguine in a struggle battle, without the shedding of a single drop of blood in the United States or any warfare, will walk out and make the world a better place. our homeland have built up in the last fifty years. (Applause!) MON. FRED A. TOOYE, SECRETARY GENERAL, SPEAKS May I Please Your Excellency, the Right Honorable Members of the High Executive Council, Fellow Men and Women of the Negro Race: I am inable vary甘好 to have this opportunity to say "Good-bye!" to you. I shall be gone for a few months in the interests of this noble this grand movement. I am not going to win my apure: I have already won them. But I am going to keep them on. (Applause!) Therefore, when I shall go from you I shall go feeling that the officers and members of the New York local are always with me in spirit and in mind, for without the impetus that is gained from Liberty Hall we can do no good. All Eye Looking to Liberty Hall Today all over the world Negroes are looking to you at Liberty Hall for a lead, and they will follow. I am going to tell them that the star of Ethiopia is still shining in the horizon, and that what other races have done, his race of cura can do; and we must be prepared at the coming convention to nail the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green to the topmost mast of Time and Eternity, and dare any man woman or child, any government or princely or power, to tear it down for a ballot that forevermore will be held, as shall ever happen, though some of them think that we have dotted our colors, that we are in difficulty, that though they may think that the U. N. L. A. is to go down that the Black Star Line is to go down, nothing like this will ever happen, for her timbre yet are sound, and the great ship is able to weather any storm, however furious it may be. Therefore, take courage. Remember that behind every dark cloud is a silver lining. The silver lining for us will be the redemption of Africa. Watch the men and women as they go by. Watch them, and take note of what they are doing for the race. Have in your minds the one incentive, the redemption for our motherland, Africa. I bid you Godapsed, for the tyrant's yoke from off Ethiopia's neck will soon be unloosed; the fotters will soon be broken, and, in the words of our national anthem. Out there on yonder hill. Out there upon the topmost hills of Africa. We will plant the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. Our sons and our daughters will come forth. They will give us credit, they will give us joys. For we have paved the way for them. Therefore, don't be discouraged, for there is nothing to be discouraged about. Only cowards are discouraged. When difficulty comes, men stand like men. So let us be prepared, so that when difficulty or trouble arises, we can stand like men, and if the Universal Negro improvement Association is good enough to live for, then it is good enough for Negro men and women to die for, if the cause demands it. Asks the Prayers of the People I desire, as Captain Gaines does, your prayers for our safe return to you. So, in the language of our national anthem, let us all sing: O. Jehovah, thou God of the Ages. Grant unto Thy sons who Lead, the Wisdom Thou gave to Thy ages. When Israel, was sore in need: Thy voice through the dim past has spoken. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand: Behold, al. fetters shall be broken. And God bless our dear Motherland! (Applause.) ASSISTANT SECRETARY · GENERAL SPEAKS Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: — it is a fact, that in a few days I shall take up my itinerary in the interests of this great work. I will have occasion to come back to New York during that time, but it will be a long time before I will have an opportunity to be in Liberty Hall on a Sunday. So I like others, wish to bid you farewell for a short while. Last night it was my pleasure to attend the annual banquet of the Alumni Society of Prate Institute through the courtesy of Mr. Isla, our bandmaster, who is an alumnus of that institution; and I had the pleasure also of listening to the president of the Duplex Razor Co. speak. Among other things, Mr. Sheean said this: That at some time in life every man wants to show his masterpiece. Those words impress me very much, because I realize the truth of them, that at some time in the lives of all of us we want to show the world our masterpiece. I thought once in my life that I had created my masterpiece. When in the army of the United States when my rights were abridged by a white officer with a rank lower than mine, I challenged him, though 'against the protest of thousands of Negro soldiers in the army, who said it would be impossible to win, because the entire army system was against me. But my brother and I were unraffraid, and we tacked it, and we won. Following that, I said that I believed that was my masterpiece; but upon reflection I found that, after all, that did not amount to so much. It is true, that thousands of colored boys were given their first chance as officers in colored companies; but that was in an army for a white government that we were fighting to maintain. After I left the army, with the spirit of fight for the right permeating my soul and my very being, I went to the city of Detroit, and there attempted to attack certain abuses. In that city that had a Civil Rights law, but no colored man in the city of Detroit had ever been protected under this Civil Rights bill, and we were told when we went there that it would be impossible to win. Nevertheless, we touched it, and we won. The records in Michigan will show that the first conviction under the Civil Rights bill, the first criminal conviction was that in the case of R. L. Poston versus J. Maxoulas, a Greek, in the city of Detroit. I thought that was my masterpiece, but when I reflected, it did not amount to so much. It means the opening up of some opportunities for the Negroes of Detroit, but meant greater opportunities for them to spend their money among white people; and though the Negro populace of that city relied in our victory, I find that the whole thing was empty and did not, after all, amount to much, so that I am not now in position to accept it as my masterpiece. I have come to the conclusion—and I believe it with the strength of my whole being—that I will find my masterpiece under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. (Applause) I am leaving in a few days for the express purpose of carving that masterpiece, and you may depend upon me to do a good job. I think you. (Applause) MON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies. He delivered a brief farewell address preparatory to leaving on a tour of duty throughout New York State and Canada, in which he reviewed his connection with the U. N. I. A., starting about three years ago, when he spoke on the streets up to his election at the last convention as the leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies. Though it had not yet been possible for him to reach the territory for which he had been elected, he added, "I have however, done my part satisfactorily, and you shall hear of it in the coming convention. Wherever I ```markdown ``` so I shall play my part and play it well." As parting advice he said: "Remember I depart I want to say to you to stand by this great and noble cause wherever you can champion it, and remember that there is no greater movement than the Universal Neighbor Improvement Association. Furthermore, all existing petty feaulousies must be eradicated from your minds. If we want to make progress let us get rid of these petty feaulousies and petty grievances; look at the bigger things of life and remember that while His Excellency the President General is absent from you, you must come here to Liberty Hall and continue to play your part, for this movement is as much you as it is his. He is the founder who has brought it to the point where it is recognized as one of the greatest living organizations, and he is calling for men and women to go forth and help him. For my part, he shall help all I possibly can in order that the Red, the Black and the Green shall forever fly in the bravest."

MORALES SETTLES DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF INSULAR PREJUDICES Puto Nuevitas, Cuba, Division on Firm Working Basis Most Financial Division on Entire Isle, Ho Asserts By J. W. D. FULLER On Thursday, March 2, 1922, the Hon. El. V. Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, visited the Nuvitas Branch of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. and remained wits for three days, keeping mass meeting every night. On this visit he did not find the branch as he left it last time. Owing to an abundance of grievances among the members they were very much divided. This caused some of the prominent members to grow cold. From the grievances laid before the High Commissoir he detected that the greatest barrier among members of the Nuevitas Branch, as well as others he visited, has been the insularity one with the other, the little and big island question, which has always been acting like a jubmarine, especially between the Jamaicans and Barbadians and all the rest of the West Indiana. This caused the High Commissioner to belch from the inner chamber of his heart the pure alms and objects of the U. N. I. A. And he persuaded all around to abolish such silly ideas from their minds and look forward for the redemption of their Motherland, the Continent of Africa. Next the High Commissioner reinforced all officers of their duties and reinstructed them regarding the performances of same, according to the revised constitution. Then comes the auditing of the books of the branches. This being done the High Commissioner informed the general membership that since his return from the convention of 1921 the Nuevitas Branch has been one of the most financial branches he has visited. In spite of all our troubles and indifferences Nuevitas members still remain one hundred per cent. N. T. L. A. people. He announced to the audience that since the last auditing of the books total cash received amounted to $1,600.89; expenditures, $1,801.01; balance. $804.47. Cash in Royal Bank, Canada, $193; cash in treasurer's hand, $50.57; cash in Liberian Construction Loan, $200. This, he said, was very good business. He highly commended the Executive Secretary, Mr. H. P. A. Martin, General Secretary, J. W. D. Fuller and Mr. C. E. Campbell, treasurer, for the clean manner in which they have handled the books of the branch, according to his last instructions. The High Commissioner was well pleased with the building, transacted for such a stony year of 1831. He strongly encouraged us to stick to each other and forget all our grievances. This, he said, would make Charter 43 as strong as a fort. We are proud of our High Commissioner, Hon. E. V. Moralor, who has promised to stand by us until all our wrongs are righted. Our branch becomes 100 per cent financial and is registered under the laws of the Cuban Government, and he sets us once more afloat under the U. N. I. A. world under the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. SOME SHORT STORIES (Continued from para 4) ball entered the body of my lady friend just above her right breast, I caught and held her in my arms as she was failing and in less than fifteen minutes, she was a corpse. Her murderer made a hasty retreat and was never after- wards heard of. And now comes the strange part of my story. I found myself in the public highway with a corpse on my hands and not a single eye witness as far as I knew, save the God above us, to the fearful tragedy which had just been mapped. You can imagine my feelings and what must have passed through my mind as I stood there in the pres- ence of death, in the shadow of the stars, and the stillness of the early morning while nature sleeps and the soul of that pure innocent girl was winging its flight to the God who gave it.

INDIAN SYRUP & TONIC CO. way with the Sheriff close beside carrying his big Navy Colt and "old George" following close behind, when we arrived at the spot where lay my late afflianced for whom I would gladly have died. We found two County Constables there who had accidentally discovered the corpse and who were making notations in a book about their find. As our party approached them, one of them recognizing the Sheriff, spoke to him familiarly and told him that evidently a murder had been committed and that he was about to report the mutilated to him." "Ah has already had a report," said the Sheriff, "fum this heath young Nigra who seen the shootin' aa' caught the gal when she were fallin' after she were shot." The two constables looked at me and at once recognized me as one of the employees in the hotel in town. The sheriff, after a conference with the two constables, said "We'll have to take yo' in, young man and yo' too, George". addressing the old man who was with me with me. And they marched us off to the lock-up in town, where we were securely confined and closely guarded until the next day, or rather, I should say until later in the day. The news of the tragedy had spread like wild-fire through the town, and the situation, so far as I was personally concerned, looked exceedingly and positively discouraging, innocent though I was of any crime and especially of this one. I realized fully that I occupied a very ticklish position and that for me there was trouble ahead. Well, to make a long story short, there was a preliminary examination at the City Court and I told a straightforward story, which was corroborated in part by persons who had witnessed the row between this young man and myself, in the dance hall, but all that I had said in my own behalf and all that these witnesses testified to was of no avail. None of them had seen the shooting, and their testimony as to what led up to it was valueless. At the trial, a month later, I was convicted of murder in the first degree and remanded to jail to await the day of execution. The old man to his story, how I had awakened him after the shooting, what course he had advised me to take, after hearing my account of it, and that he had volunteered and did accompany me to the house of the sheriff to inform him of what had transplied. He was released. Two weeks before I was to be executed, I dreamed that my attorney had visited me in prison and has asked me what kind of a revolver I had carried with me to the dance that night, and what was its calibre, and that I had told him it was a Smith and Wesson of thirty-two calibre, and that he exclaimed, "By George, Henry, I don't believe you did that shooting, for the wound in the girl was made by a larger cartridge than your revolver carries." The next morning I sent for my lawyer, who was a Jew and very clever. When he arrived, I told him again all the circumstances leading up to the shooting, in detail, and then of my dream. I did not omit telling him that I had missed my revolver, which I had intended to use that night when the young man and myself had words on the highway. "By George, Henry, that is an important point. Where is your revolver? Did you have it when you were arrested?" "No." I replied. "When I felt for it in my overcoat pocket, where I had placed it on leaving the hotel, after the young man drew his and threatened to shoot me, it was not there, and when I grappled with him, the young woman ran between us and he shot her. My lawyer made a note of this, though I had already before told him how the shooting was done and how helpless I had been to protect either the young woman or myself. "Well," he said, "I must go and find that revolver of youra." Among the several effects of the dead woman was found a handbag in which she carried such things as a woman would need in the arrangement of her toilet. In this bag was found my revolver with every charge intact save one, which, as I have told you, had been discharged earlier on the day of the murder. Thanks to the seal of my attorney, the body of the young woman was, by order of the court, examined, and experts examined the wound that caused her death and found that it had been made by a cartridge from a .33 calibre gun. My own gun was only a .33 calibre. This was an important point for me and it saved my life. My lawyer pursued the usual course in such cases, and I was subsequently acquitted of the charge of murder and was released from jail. The only theory that I can arrive at THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 Drive By Parnassus Black Cross Nurses (Present to Negro League) PARNASSUS, Pa., March 19 —On Sunday, March 19, the Universal African Black Cross Nurses rendered a splendid program at Valley Camp in behalf of the dollar drive put on by the High Commissioner, Hon. W. O. Enyer for the New Kensington division, No. 293. The program was as follows. Singing by the choir, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," with our president, G. H Johnson, presiding. Vice-President E. R. Moffit, master of ceremonies, a duet by Masters Witter and William Gross entitled "The Red, black and Green," which was quite a hit. A paper was read by Mrs. Willa Kelley on "African Freedom," which was a decided success. It kept the audience in an upbeat. A duct by Mrs. Oracle Stewart and Mrs. Jessie Brevard entitled "He Is the One." A paper by Mrs. Cornelia Johnson, First Major B. C. N. on "A Soldier Boy," which was interesting and sad. Song by choir, "Steal Away to Africa." Recitation by Mrs. Roberta Richardsor entitled "Ethiopia." A solo by Mrs. Alberta Hudson entitled We Are the Black Cross Nurses. Then a very interesting paper, by our secretary, Major Mrs. Edna Carter, on "The Negro and the World," which caused lots of laughter Comments by Mr. Charlie Gross, a member of the Trustee Board A short talk by Mr. Arteria Herderson of Valley Camp, whom we were glad to have with us. Next was "The Dyer Bill" recited by Mrs. Mamie Henderson of Tarentum which met with approval. Song by choir, "Victory" Mrs. Marie Roberts of Tarentum made an impressive speech on 'Condition of the Negro." Also a Mr Kiel of Tarentum, a very prominent race man, gave us an eloquent speech. Mr. E. T. Johnson, representing the different races and their respective home is a man with a thought. A solo was randered by our president's youngest daughter, aged nine years. Miss Ovetta Johnson. She has a very sweet voice. This brought the program to a close. With many visitors present, the sum realized was $62.91, and we thank our many members and friends for their donations. Then the High Commissioner was introduced by the President. High Commissioner W O Snyer's subject was: "Out of America have I called by son. There shall be no peace until Africa be free." The speaker held the audience spellbound. Well, so much for New Kensington Division, No. 293. Quite a number of people from Valley Camp and Parnassus. Mrs. Kensington went to Pittsburgh on March 10 to see the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the giant of the age. "THE NEGRO IN AMERICAN HISTORY" (Continued from page 6) (Continued from page 9) ture he has been in close touch with the religious, political, educational and literary life of the Negro and knew as a young man some of the leaders of the generation who preceded him. All these things combine to make Prof. Cromwell, a scholar possessed of common sense and high ideals, eminently qualified to write of the evolution of the Negro in American history. I found his advice helpful while I was preparing "The African Abroad." The full title of Prof Cromwell's book is "The Negro in American History Men and Women Eminent in the Evolution of the American of African Descent." It is divided into thirty-five chapters. The seventeen early chapters deal with discovery, colonization, slavery, national independence and emancipation, slave insurrections, early striving, the anti-slavery movement, the Civil War and reconstruction, educational progress, the Negro as a soldier and the Negro church. The last eighteen chapters consist of biographical sketches, summing up the careers of Phylla Wheatley, Benjamin Banneker, Paul Cubba, Sojourner Truth, Daniel Alexander Payne, Henry Highland Garnet. as to how the young woman came into possession of my revolver is that while we were on our way to her home, she had deftly extracted it from my overcoat pocket in the fear that I would use it if this young man and myself should meet again that night. Knowing that we had words and come to blows, she took this method of preventing a tragedy of which she ultimately became the innocent victim. Had she not taken away my gun and rushed between her murderer and myself, he, not herself, would have been the corpse that night and I would not now be telling you this remarkable experience. Since then I have never carried a revolver and I never will. ENTHUSIASM IS ONE OF THE BIG KEYS TO SUCCESS From the time Marcus Garvey was twenty, he held an enthusiastic vision of great accomplishment for himself and his race. He believed in himself and his race. Mr. Negro man or woman, do you believe in yourself and your race? You need enthusiasm, vision, imagination. You need all these things in order to visualize the possibilities of yourself and your race and just in that proportion you have enthusiasm, vision and imagination you will contribute to the great accomplishment of your race. ENTHUSIASM, VISION and IMAGINATION are important factors in an individual as well as a race development, but above all the Dollar must accompany these otherwise we can't get very far. A QUESTIONNAIRE TO MEMBERS OF U. N. I. A. By REV. DR. C. E. PAUL Chaplain at Headquarters The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be divided into three classes in a skeleton outline—WISHBONES, JAWBONES and BACKBONES. The wishbones are always languidly hoping that the association will somehow grow without their effort. The jawbones, of course, do the critical talking, and the backbones get under the heavy burdens and carry them. Member, to which class do you be- ling? Alexander Crummmall, Fredrickard Douglass, John Mercer Langston, Blanche Kelso Bruce, Joseph Charles Price, Robert Brown Elliott, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Booker Tallaford Washington, Fanny M. Jackson Cappin, Henry Osawa Tannar, John F Cook and sons (John F. Jr. and George F T), and Edward Wilmot Blydon There are eight appendices, dealing with Holly, the Somerset case, the Armadial captives, the underground railroad, the Freedmen's Bureau, medal of honor men and the Freedmen's Bank. The book is also well illustrated, containing seventeen illustrations, which comprise pictures of colored Congressmen and other eminent Negroes, colored schools and interesting events in Negro history. Of the 234 pages a little more than one-third deal with Negro history per se and nearly two-thirds deal with biographical sketches of distinguished Negroes. This arrangement will undoubtedly please the general reader Very little of the book deals with the happenings and leading figures of the past twenty-five years. Only seven of Cromwells 20 heroes and heroes extended over into the twentieth century. And the fame of all of these was won in the nineteenth century. A very brief mention is made of the antagonisms and the criticisms of Dr. Booker T. Washington's policies as a leader, but Prof Cromwell does not go into the merits of the controversy or deal with the various phases of the evolution of the New Negro, which began when William Monroe Trotter launched the Boston Guardian in the fall of 1901 and culminated when Marous Garvey launched the Negro World in the summer of 1918 and started the U. N. L. A. upon its marvelous career. Still this is no defect of the book, that it practically ignores present problems and largely deals with men and measures of the past three generations. Prof. Cromwell's book claims to be a-historical rather than sociological treatise, and lives up to its title. Considerable valuable information is packed in the pages of Prof Cromwell's history. The student and specialist will learn much from Prof Cromwell's illuminating pages. And the clear, simple, lucid style renders the work interesting and acceptable to the general reader. We regard Prof Cromwell's book as a distinct contribution to Negro literature. WHO SAYS IMPOSSIBLE? By ROBERT L.

We are all acquainted with the race which says "I have achieved but it is impossible for others to do as I have done." Many reasons it gives for the position it maintains, but it all ends up with the inference that this superior race is made up of a different kind of clay. This line of propaganda has served to continue a people not omniscient or perfect in a position of ascendency, to the utter disregard of the other worthwhile races of the world, not, however, without the sanction of these abused races, who have themselves fallen under this propaganda, and are quite as responsible for its continuation as the race who profits by it. It is not infrequent that we hear Negro men in positions of leadership emphasizing what is impossible for us to do as a race. For instance, we listened recently to a Negro leader lecture on Africa. He viewed the strong arm of Great Britain at work in Africa, saw the "helpless" and "untutored" natives, and then ended up with the very "obvious" conclusion that the Africans will never be able to possess their country. Here was a case where Great Britain, a rather sham ration, had thoroughly convinced a leader of the race she oppresses of her strength, but in doing so she had first to convince that leader of the weakness of his own race, which she did to her profit. There are certain things that are indeed impossible. For instance, it is impossible for man to measure arms with Göd. But when, in consideration of earthly things, a man says to you that this or that is impossible, ask him who said so, and if he says that man said it is impossible, then answer him back that man says it is not impossible. When such a course is adopted by the Negro we will find many things now considered impossible becoming quite possible—indeed, quite probable. The Universal Negro Improvement Association will give the word "impossibility" a new meaning, especially as it applies to the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world.

Notamos que todo pueblo y raza se prepara con el fin de afrontar los cambios que el futuro les tenga reservado y es nuestro deber seguir el ejemplo. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra desea que los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del mundo se preparen por medio de uno determinación organizada para contrarrestar la intención de aquellos que tratan de esclavizarnos nuevamente, reduciéndonos a un circulo inferior al de las otras razas y naciones. El que predomine aun el sentimiento de subyugar y explotar a los puebloc débiles, no cabe la mejor duda. Este sentimiento puede notarse no solamente en el fondo sino también en la superficie de todo lo que es dicho y hecho por los demas. Como raza, esparcida, odiada y explotada centenares de años, no debemos permanecer a la merced de aquellos que simulan tratarnos con simpatia. Por medio de nuestra propia iniciativa y de nuestro propio esfuerzo, tenemos que asegurarnos la protección necesaria para prevenir la intención del mas fuerte. La observación de las actividades de los otros pueblos nos revela su gran estado de preparación, para afrontar cualquier contingencia que pueda ocasionarse. Vemos a la gran raza anglo-sajona haciendo toda clase de esfuerzos humanos, preparandose para protejer sus derechos e intereses. Como ellos, todas las demas razas y naciones se Eurona y Asia. Nosotros, cuatrocientos millones, he de repetir, tenemos que prepararnos para evitar no solamente los peligros del presente, sino también los peligros del futuro. Perseguiremos por medio de acción, la consolidación universal de la raza, para colocarnos al nivel de las otras razas. Esto podemos conseguir preparando la mente de nuestro pueblo en todas partes para la ejecución de una acción concertada. Tenemos que exterminar los prejuicios de nacionalidad e insularidad, los cuales han sido el principal objeto en la división de los elementos de nuestra raza. Si hemos de continuar adelante, es nuestro deber el extender confraternidad universal, pues en ningún punto del globo estamos en la actualidad suficientemente fuertes para constituir de un modo independiente, la fundación de nuestro propio destino. Una pronta y eficaz preparación mental, espiritual, física y de cualquier otro sentido afrontarán las demandas que nos serán requeridas como pueblo, en nuestra marcha hacia nuestra propia emancipación. Todo pueblo que haya escalado las cumbres del éxito, ha tenido que prepararse de antemano para obtener tal resultado. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra cruza el período de la organización de nuestros ideals. Tenemos ante nuestra vista el objeto de una nación prepotente; su completa ralización tomará algún tiempo, pero podemos construir una fundación sólida que sirva de base a las generaciones futuras, perfeccionando así el estado de nuestra visión imperial. Los que cooperamos en pro de la realización de este magno movimiento, no esperamos vivir lo suficiente para regocjarnos de la emancipación completa de Africa; de la completa libertad de nuestra raza. Podemos sinnembargo durante nuestra existencia, contribuir a la verificación de grandes cambios, los cuales coloquen a nuestra raza en circunstancias mas ventajosas. Abrigamos el presentimiento de un futuro mas brillante; de un medio de vida mas adecuado. No somos pesimistas; somos optimistas en todo el sentido de la palabra. Por medio de nuestro esfuerzo podemos crear todo aquello que satisfaga nuestras propias necesidades. Esta ha sido siempre la actitud de todas las razas y de todas las naciones del universo; ellas han modelado su propio destino, en la tendencia a mejorar su propia situación. La posición que actualmente ocupa Gran Bretaña fue creada por el deseo del inglés; este se determinó a jamas ser esclavo y constituyó un imperio en el cual el sol nunca se oculte, regocijándose hoy de la realización de sus sueños. Los primitivos colonos que se establecieron en la America del Norte determinaron constituir para sí un pats libre e independiente, en el cual desenvolvverse a su antojo política y religiosamente. El Negro del presente, en mejores condiciones, con determinación fundamental podrá realizar su sueño, creándose una condición adecuada, prologo de su propia felicidad. No debemos tolerar por más tiempo la posición de inferioridad entre los pueblos del mundo; preparémonos, un remediar el mal. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1922 APRECIACIONES La Naturalza, esa engendradora de todo lo que convive en el mundo, nos ha concedido el lenitivo que mitiga muestra males, que para en no lejano dia podramos levantarlos del lecho donde nos encontramos postradado y goran del esplendor que ella nos brade. Los pueblos, como todo lo creado, al constituiire, crecen, se desarrollan, se perfectionan por medio del estudio e iluminan al mundo con su saber. Pero su educación no es producida por al sola; alguien la hace conceñar. Con ese objeto ha surgió La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Ella viene a llenar el gran recipiente, vacio por largo tiempo. Esa gran organización, como el arado, surca el斗 terreno a fin que el cultivo pueda en tiempo del determinado hacerlo fértil y recoger entonces el fruto impresindible para la subsistencia. Tal es la conducta que deben observar los que con sentimiento humano quieran luchar por el mejoramiento de su raza. Sonded las almas; preparadas y al notar el mas leve sinta de feribilidad, sugeridas las ideas con prudencia; cultivadas con detenimiento, cumpliendo un sacro apostolado, facilitando su desarrollo. Si por el contrario, las almas que queréis convertir son opacas como el terreno infecundo, no desmayes; consagras a la Obra con mas poder. Aquellos que reusen la guinumina, volveran finalmente arrepentidos, pues no todos reciben el bien, en el momento que se les brinda. Ante todo, empecemos por purgarnos de todos los vicios y malos instinctos que nos devoran; éstos solamente no conducen al predomino de las malas pasiones y a perder la fe en nosotros mismos. Entonces podemos decir: Hemos triunfado por haber alcanzado la divina protección. El trabajo colectivo debe ser un fiel reflejo del trabajo individual y en la lucha por dar luz a la sociedad en que vivimos, febemos percibirla de antemano. Hay que purificarse en el crisol de la lucha; combatiendo en pro de causas nobles, se enalteen los espiritus y ya que se presenta preciada oportunidad, cooperemos a la Obra de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Rna Negra; cooperemos decididos, cooperimos sin vacillación ni temor, con legítimo derecho al triunfo, contandonos entre los hidalgos que se redimen por sus propios esfuerzos. Esa gran organización ha delineado el camino que debe seguir, salvar todos los obstaculos que otros colougen a sus paso, pudiendo así alzar con legitimo orgullo nuestra enseña, por haber conquistado el laurel. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha tenido sus brazos a las almas descarradas; quiere prestarles socorro a los que no encuentran el camino recto que confunde al incable valle de la sabidura. Recompensemos la nuestro agradecimiento, para que tenga la dicha de cenir en su augusta frente, por haber salvado la raza, la diadema de la victoria. El Honorable Marcus Garvey se ha impuesto una labor suprema; es preciso secundarlo, no solamente con demostraciones de agradecimiento, sino aportando todo cuanto esté a nuestro alcance para que el trunfo sea completo. Todos los corazones se regejican ante una buena obra; pero ea necesario que todos los brazos ayuden a forjaria, que todos los animes se unan con ese fin y cada elemento se constituya en un legnario de la huestes gloriosas. El Negro Cubano no debe detenere; debe recorrerse camino delineado hasta conseguir la realización del ideal de la raza. Estas son mis apreciaciones. Ramon Apeztguia Hernandez. Santiago de Cuba. SEAMOS PREVISORES Interesado en el propósito de esta organización, a medida que el tiempo transcurre, puedo observar con muy poca dificultad, que la temperatura desencadenada por aquellos que resultaron ser desleales a la causa más noble que pueblo alguna haya podido defender, desde los tiempos más remotos hasta nuestros días, das desapareciendo sin obtener el enlase que ellos apetecian. Prueba base estó con el número de nuevas divisions constituidas en diferentes puntos de la Union, Sur America y Cuba, motivo por el cual nuestro Presidente General y el Cuerpo Directivo de la organización, demuestra, completa satisfacción en espera que de que en dia no lejano quede resuelto el mas arduro de los problemas, aun registrado en las páginas de la historia de los pueblos civilizados. La semilla de la traclación fued esparcida, pero el terreno no cataba suficientemente abonado para que esté germinara. El Negro del presente se ha dado exacta cuenta de las distintas evoluciones humanas, desde la extradición de African hasta la época contemporanea. Sabo que ningun plum nó nación de otra raza se interesa en su ciudadanía, amenño que los intereses de tal palé nacimiento requieran el auxilio del Negro. Las palpeas y naciones del globo tienen sus contverlas y rivalidades; pero cuando aparece entre ellos el problema del Negro, esas contrerasias y rivalidades cesan temporalmente, para contrarrestar la realización de tal problema. Por esta razon La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra tiene el propósito do fundar una nación de y para Negros. Cooperemos con ella evitando así la exterminación de una raza que en época remota mantuvo us apoego. Aportemos nuestro obloo; seamos previsores. Mateo Rodriguez Izquierdo. Nueva York, Marzo 20 de 1922. La Sentencia Del Jefe Nacianalista Gandhi Causa Nueva Consternación en India Con motivo del encarcelamiento y sentencia a años de prison del jefe nacionista Mohandas Gandhi, han ocurrido nuevos disturbios, en distintos puntos de la India. Un grupo de naturales del país ha asaltado almacenes públicos, apoderndose de gran cantidad de tejidos extrangeros, los cuales fueron quemados en una hoguera. En Ondal se produjeron también algunos desordenes, causando alarma entre la población extrangera. Espérase una pronta solución satisfactoria de la huelga que sostienen los ferrovarios del este de la India. Los periodicos indus opinan que el nuevo ministro de la India permanecerá poco tiempo en su puesto. El Principe de Gales al abandonar el pais, refirendose a las dificultades existentes, elologia la labor realizada por el virrey. Niega como incertos los rumores circulados de que Inglaterra solicitaba auxilio del Japon, para solucionar los conflictos relacionados con la revolución, la cual toma mayores proporciones en la India cada dia. Inglaterra Pagará el Interés de Su Deuda Sir Robert Horne, canciller del tesoro, informo oficialmente en la camara de los comunes, que la Gran Bretaña pagara media anualidad de intereses sobre su deuda a los Estados Unidos, en el proximo ottofo. Los Estados Unidos no nos han cobrado ni la deuda ni los intereses sobre la misma—dijo el canciller—pero la Gran Bretaña se propone pagar ejes meses de réditos en el ottofo. La Gran Bretaña no solicita prórogas. Esta manifestación fue recbida con aplausos. Hasta la fecha, ninguno de los aliados que obtuvieron empréstimos de los Estados Unidos, han satusecho ni el principal ni los intereses. Inglaterra está a la cabeza entre las naciones deudoras, andoras en total de $4.277.000.000 en su debe. Francia viene en segundo término con una deuda de $2.047.974.000. El total de la deuda extranjera solo asciende a $7.910.525.310. El Comisionado de Puertorico Ratificador Los Cargos Contra el Gobecnador El señor Félix Cordova Davila, comisionado residente de Puerto Rico, que esperaba replicar en la cámara al discurso pronunciado el ultimo vienna por el representante Strong en el cual este sostuvo la administración del governor Reilly, no pudo obtener oportunidad para ello en la cámara debida a que esta estaba ocupándose del conocimiento de otros asuntos. El comité a que se presenta la resolución del representante Humphreys sobre los cargos hechos en la cámara al gobernador por Cordova Davila, no ha tomatado la materia, ni hay tampoco indicación de cuánto el comité considerará esta resolución. Acaudalado Brazileno Procesado Como Contrabandista Francisco Chanille, de cuarenta años, rico comerciante de Pará, Brazil, fué procesado por el Comisiónado Federal Barmore de Brooklyn, acusado de haber introducido en los Estado Unidos brillantes por valor de $60,000 sin haber pagado.

Ven y juntos llenos de amor En los jardines de flores Entonaremos salve al dolor. El Imperio Britanico Crisis La huelga revolucionaria del Transvaal, que adquiere violencia por momentos y ha tenido ya todas las proporciones de una campaña en que la sangre ha corrido libremente, viene a sonar un nuevo y fatidico golpe a la puerta del imperio de Londres. Ya no es en la misteriosa y enorme India, ni en el turbulento Egypt donde la fuerza brutína tiene que imponer sangrientemente su ley. Es en el Transvaal, en el domino antiguo de la raza heroica de los boers donde la lucha aurge y adquere subitamente toda la intensidad de una gran revolución. La personalidad sugesta del general Smuts, su glorioso prestigio de patriota y de guerrero, su nacionalismo sereno y su valor indomable, no parecen haber podido evitar el conflicto. Las peticiones de los mineros del Rdand, manténidas en un espiritu de organización y una resolution de procedimiento que han revelado al mundo un ambiente desconocido, crema a Inglaterra otro nuevo gran conflicto, en la hora ya crítica que sus estatistas tienen sobre si viviimas prescapaciones pendientes. La agitation se extiende rápidamente por la India entera. El Egipto clamora por su independencia con valor creciente. Irlanda no está todavía pacifica. Y en los Estados Unidos, pese a la autoridad del presidente, el tratado de las cuatro potencias del Pacífico—que significaba para Inglaterra la resolution de todos sus problemas de oriente con una facil victoria—está a punto de nudar fragrar. Nada más interesante, en este momento unico de la historia del gran imperio mundial del rey Jorge, que observar la reacción que los acontecimientos producen en el espíritu público inglés. Al parecer, este es el principio del ocaso del sol que la reina Victoria viera ascender triunfalmente al zenit. Eduardo VII con su política genal del "encerçemente" destrozo a Alemania—el temble rival. Jorge V empieza a ver palidecer la constelación deslumbradora de naciones que lo acatan. Es que espera al joven y democrata principe de Gales? Nada podria acelerar más el derrumbe—historicamente inevitable—que la desmoralización del pueblo dominador. Inglaterra ha sido admirable en la formación teosnera, persistent, indomable, de su cadena de pueblos vasallos. Va a ser puesta a prueba como capaz de retener la trahilla de cachorros del leopardo británico. Si su pueblo pierde en la adversidad las portentosas virtudes de resistencia, de disciplina consciente, de resolution serena y de patrotismo lucido que le han caracterizado, la catástrofe pueda ser rápida y el mundo pedercer por ella. El desmembramiento del imperio británico está llamado a producir canbios transcendentes en todo el universo. Los produjo el derrumbe del imperio de Pelippe II. Y en muchisima menor escala, la disolución del frági conglomerado de naciones europaeas forjado por Napoleón. La misión de Inglaterra en la historia habrá llegado a realizar cuando de su espíritu, de su genio, de su sangre ye de su verbo, emanan nevos pueblos, nuevas civilizaciones, con vigor independiente y juventud propia. Espanla cumplió gloriosamente entregando al universo veinte pueblos. Cualesquiera que fueran los dolores del alumbramiento, la realidad es ya desalumbradora y compensa todo el pasado. Podra Inglaterra mirar al suyo con tanto orgullo cuando se haya manumitido su actual inmensa cohorte de pueblos dominadas—La Prensa, Nueva York. El Hambro Amenaza de Muerte a Dos Millones de Chinos en Shantung Por EDNA LEE BOOKER MASGAI, China, Marzo 19- Más de dos millones de personas corren peligro de persecución humbr en la provincia de Shantung indigen do quedado, sin recursos, debido al doblademento del río Amarillo, segn comunican los informes, que acaban de recibir la comité internacional de socorros de Shantung. Los agricultores de Shantung com- los demas habilitados de en pro- vinencia, semillas y aquantes de la pá- rroqueta más de remediar la si- nción creada por la falta de agua. mestibles que de la denominada "cuección de Shantung". Los desastrosos efectos del hambre en el alfo pasado fueron provocados por la sequía, este afilo el origen saido una imunación que ha cubierto los campos de los que se esperaba una abundante cosecha. El rio Amarillo ha inundado los campos de mijo y trigo, pero los campesinos lograron salvar parte de la cosecha recorriendo los campos en pequeñas embarcaciones y recortando los más crecidos tallos que salían a la superficie, pero actualmente los campos de Shantung se hallan cubiertos de nieve, el agua se ha helado y es imposible preparar los terrenos para sembrar en espera de la cosecha de primayerna. Según los informes facilitados por el mencionado comité internacional de socorros Shantung hallas frente a uno de los más graves problemas de esa naturaleza que jamás se le han presentado, temiendo que el hambre haga sentir su funesta influencia durante la primavera. Según noticias la inundación ha afectado a unos siete millones de personas de los cuales dos millones corren inminente peligro de morirse de hambre. En el año pasado gasturónse en socorrer a los necesitados un tres millones de dólares, dos terceras partes de los cuales procedían de los Estados Unidos recaudados en la campaña que a ese fin se llevó a cabo. Este año el comité, formado por representantes consulares, hombrés de negocios y misioneros, cuenta únicamente con $450,000 para sustrabajos de docorro, pensandose recaudar sumas adicionales con el nuevo impuesto establecido en las aduas y con la campaflia emprendida en China para recoger sumas de dinero. En virtud de la escasez de fondos se repartirán socorros únicamente a aquellos que estén en extrema necesidad. La provincia de Shantung a pesar de los enormes recursos naturales con que cuenta, está en bancarrota, tiene una deuda de $10,000,000 que aumenta constantemente. En virtud de la constante demanda de fondos afectada por las autoridades militares no pueden llevarse a cabo las obras de construcción de los muros de contención del río Amarillo para evitar la repetición de esos desastres.

AFRICANUS DISCUSSES $5,000,000 LOAN TO LIBERIA --- EXPLODES MYTH THAT FOUNDING OF BLACK REPUBLIC WAS CHARITABLE ACT Historical Facts of Country Illumine Dramatic Activities of President King and His Cabinet By LEO AFRICANUS We have noticed the presence of the Hon. C D B King. President of Liberia, within the territorial jurisdiction of contiguous America and have expressed our friendly sentiments for favorable action on the part of President Harding and the Congress of America toward the deplorable financial condition of Liberia. We cannot but feel a kind of blood in the Republic of Sorrow. The good Lord knows the anguish and mental suffering undergone by Negroes in the founding of Liberia—many to this day believed that it came as a charitable and philanthropic expression from the slaveholders having for the foster father of the movement no less a person than President Monroe. History, nevertheless, is inflexible and tells us that Liberia was an excuse for ridding the country of the slaves who on several occasions had rebelled. We have had the Gabriel instruction at Richmond, Va., during 1800, the Dennow Vesay in Charleston, B. C., during 1823 and the Nat Turner in 1833 giving birth to the founding of the Republic under the auspices of the Colonizing Society. The debate in the Virginia Legislature covering the Nat Turner aftermath reveal considerable excoriating remarks and the feeling of weakness and courage on the part of many of the elected representatives. The name of President Madison stands pre-eminently in the real activities which centered in the voter of those grave days. Money was raised by individuals and the Virginia Legislature donated equally magnificent sums for the cause of finding a place where the malcontents and free man of color could be, without raising the dust, carted away from the land of liberty. Prominent writers, statesmen and than distinguished in other walks of life were outspoken in defense of locating an asylum for the talented men of the race. Liberty was the almshouse, the painted paradise, where the hours were to charm our moments of joy. The great West Indian, John B. Nesquey government, a graduate from Newbury College of Idaho, was charmed to his new boat; the founder of the first Negro newspaper in America, *Freedom's Journal*, was planted in the new colony. Daniel C. Colar, a minister, a shining light in Maryland was a victim to the seductive charm of the Maryland Colonization Society—Edward Klynden, Alex Grimnall, J. Robert Lott Gray, Paul Cuffa, the vanguard leader, not to mention the long list of persons, each representative of his class and master of his trade, as shown by the reports of the American Colonization Society. In the light of the appeal for funds and the looming of trillions of dollars by the American people which we hope this Congress will permit, what has the Zeliberian Government done to enhance the privilege placed in their hands for "a government by the people and for the people"? The practical examination of the doings of the Zeliberians has been repelling to American democratic principles. There is a bidding lot feeling of the Americo-Zeliberian being too proud not to fight in it. Wilson, but too proud to work the soil. The bulk of the society elect are more concerned with the doings of politic and diplomacy. Every mama's big wants to be a general or a professor of philosophy instead of developing more masters of ginger roots rather than Greek roots more knowledge of how to plant the goods which the markets of the world demand rather than praises and surfaces of diplomatic chicanery. More agricultural colleges and less abstract knowledge would do a world of good to Libya and the Negro race in general. Liberia has been blessed with aplenty of opportunity to show some tangible evidence of her 75 years of life, besides a theoretical problem of her right to assistance. Men of color from the What Indies in general have landed on her coast to help in the work for the motivation of the race and as evidence of its capability. We want it understood from the outset that we are more sheer, or outspoken. For Liberia, but we need to point the way we look at things, and the lessons we drew from them. The President of Liberia has had opportunity to examine its first hand the elementary work which can be carried on and developed in his own home. We trust his American advisers will lead him to the right path of economic life rather than spiritual expectations. Money has been poured into Liberia from the religious orders in the United States and elsewhere. As we can see of the Hon. C D B King. President presidiction of contiguous America and ents for favorable action on the part gress of America toward the deplor- A WISH To thee, believed, to thee I pray For just one kiss; Twould give me bliss To let thy soft, thy tender lips press mine. Ahl heaven, twould be divine. To thee, believed, to thee I'd wish To lie within thy soft embrace; Twould be the height of happiness If I could be permitted this. —Ruth Green. may castfurt glances over the entire American panorama of undulating hands, and he will find the native product unwilling, indifferent and unconcerned over Liberia or any part of Africa. You cannot budge the American "colored" man from the subtle effect of Harlem, no more now than in the year 1831, when the sentiment of the people of color was summed up by Garrison's booklet, in which many well-known people expressed their views, including James Forten and Rev Russell Parot in Philadelphia and Samuel Ennails and Philip Beel in New York. Takes the case of Prof (now Rev) Bronley, who spent less than three months in Liberia and had gone ostensibly to teach, that he found nothing but snakes in the building of Liberia College trying to square a circle. Meantime the five millions are drawing water and getting exceedingly burdensome, and we may ask why are the Liberians to have five millions of the American good money and no prospective future if American Negroes enjoy some advantages are tentatively put on the table for he who runs may read. Editor of Sier Hails Marcu Joshua "He Combines the Econen Washington in the P DuBois"—"His One De the World Over" Editor of Sierra Leone Echo Hails Marcus Garvey As Joshua Of Race "He Combines the Economic Doctrine of Booker T. Washington in the Political Aspirations of Dr. DuBois"—"His One Desire Is the Union of Negroes the World Over" In its issue of February 11, 1922, the Sierra Leone Echo and Law Chronicle, one of the leading native papers on the West Coast, carried as its main editorial, "Garveyism and the Negro Problem," which is herowith reproduced: "To fully realize what the Negro problem is one should visualize the Negro in America. It is in America that the Negro is immediately confronted with a state of things racially to produce racial patriots. Africa has produced and will continue to produce patriots, but in the majority of cases they are national, and their patriotic views and inspirations are localized. We intend, therefore, in this article to consider the Negro problem from the American point of view as far as practicable within the compass of an editorial. "The history of Negro slavery is too familiar to need recapitulation, and the early history of the Negroes in America in too pitiable a picture to require any but passing comment. When after the Civil War emancipation was granted to the Negroes, like the Israelites of old, Ethiopia stratified out her hands unto God. But the disabilities which they were subjected to and the hardships they suffered made them still wonder whether they could ever expect to be treated as human beings by their former taskmasters. They thought history must repeat itself. As when Israel came out of bondage, Moses began and Joshua led them to Canaan, they did not live with their former oppressors; so they, therefore, required a Joshua to lead them back to Africa. "This feeling became heightened when it was found that in spite of their advance, intellectually and otherwise, they were still distranchised, oppressed and were the victims of such lawless associations as the "Ku Klux Klan," which put at night the forces of law and tyranny and burned them in the smallest pretensions. It is quite easy to see how responsive such a people will be to constitutive leadership, with redemption, as its watchword. "Hooker T. Washington came up from the rink and was hailed as a delivisee. He persuaded the doctrine of accolade infiltration. This doctrine was not universally accepted, with the result that Dr. Du Roi led an opposition LEO AFRICANUS.

In the Demarara "Daily Argoy" Cuffy, in the inimitable dialect of the Demararian, poetizes on the arrival of Major Wood. We quote: WELCOME TO MAJOR WOOD By Cuffy Ah welcome you, good Major Wood, Ah bow .ne head to you. Ah true you co' yahso foh know An' see wha' you can do?

ADVERTISING BRITISH GUIANA In a speech delivered in honor of the visit to Damorara of Major E. F. L. Wood, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Cecil Farrar, president of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, makes some very pertinent proposals, one of which has to do with the ignorance of foreign capitalists of the vast mineral and agricultural rea Leone Echo as Garvey As Of Race nic Doctrine of Booker T. Political Aspirations of Dr. Sire Is the Union of Negroes to show that 'economic independence did not confer security of person or property . . . and that the political doors were consistently being closed.' He founded the 'National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.' To his credit it may be stated that his association tackled the question of lynching with some measure of success. But all this time the Negroes were looking ahead, always ready to go hold of what they regarded as their salvation. And suddenly there came to America a young West Indian named Marcus Garvey, a man who at present is only thirty-three years old, and he demonstrated that 'age is not sage, nor is youth necessarily indiscretion nor inexperience'; that there is constructive genius in many a young man, with the result that his doctrine has permeated America and a great part of Africa. He preaches race consciousness and calls upon the Negro race to be prepared to take his place in the battle for life and be independent. He combines the economic doctrine of Booker T. Washington with the political aspirations of Dr. Du Bois, and gives to both, when blended, the real life that has more than caught the imagination of a race looking out for a Joshua to lead it back to the 'modern Canaan,' viz. Africa. His teachings at first were misunderstood as seditious, as inducing the Negroes in West Africa to rise against their rulers, as a hater of white men. But he has expressed himself clearly as being an admirer of European leaders and that his one aim is a union of Negroes the world over and a solution of the Negro problem from his point of view, numerly, American. He believes that: "Princes shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God," and in our higher knowledge of human love and human charity and mercy, we will say to the rest of mankind, Let there be justice, let there be peace, let there be love throughout the world." He advocates that the Negro be treated as a human being and be given his proper place in the human family. "Lynchings, disfunishment, fum-crowlings are some of the prime factors which make the Negro of America believe that his salvation lay in migration to Africa." THE U. N. I. A.

Bullding NOTICE To All Divisions and Members of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION A copy of the records of all Divisions, Branches, Chapters and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been stolen from the Secretary-General's office by some one who was employed by the organization, either as an officer, an employee or an agent. This record, as stolen, may be used by the person or persons concerned, to write to the members and officers of the divisions of the organization for their own sinister or other purposes. Divisional officers and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association recalling letters from organizations or other movements or individuals, asking them to transfer their allegiance from the U. N. L. A. to thethea or asking any obligation, will ignore such appeals, and will realise immediately that such communication had its origin in the desire of the organization; movement or individual to undermine the solidarity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You have joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the realization of an object. You should support it for that object, and not allow others who may be more self-sseekers to confuse you by distributing your misguided finance in supporting everything, and weakening all, when you could have supported the good thing and make it succeed. sources of the colony. We quote from the Commercial Review; * Advertisement of the Colony "So little is known abroad of British Guiana and its potential wealth that we wish to bring to your notice the desirability of calling publo attention at home and elsewhere throughout the empire to the opportunities which exist in this colony for enterprise and development. British Guiana has acquired a wholly undeserved reputation for bad climatic conditions and unhealthiness due in the main probably to the yellow fever which was prevalent in the early part of the last century but has now been entirely eradicated, and publicity alone can remove the false impression that exists. "Side by side with the need for advertising the potential resources of the colony in diamonds, gold bauxite, timber, balata, etc., would recommend that the government should offer generous terms and liberal concessions to those who are prepared to consider the question of investing capital and acquiring land in this colony. It has too often been the case that prospective investors and development companies have been discouraged from starting enterprises in this colony through the apparent unwillingness of the authorities to give sufficiently liberal concessions to justify the enterprise. So many natural obstacles have to be overcome in this country of tropical forest and dangerous waterways that it should surely be the policy of the government not only to refrain from interposing artificial obstacles, b to give every possible encouragement, coupled with ample publicity, that can help to attract capital and enterprise to any likely scheme which is put forward for the development of the interior." Diamonds Diamonds amounting to 48,345 stones equivalent to 11,543 carats and valued at $20,142, and gold amounting to 859 oz. 19 dwt. 19 gr. valued at $15,285.44 were shipped from the Colony on the 24th by the H. D. L. S. "Commodore" for England. The shippers of the diamonds are Mr. Thorne, a well-known buyer, the Royal Bank of Canada and the Colonial Bank. The bulk of the stones were shipped by Mr. Thorne. His parcel comprised 8,016 11/16 carats, valued at over $150,000. Though large, this is not the largest parcel shipped from British Guiana, as Mr. Thorne has on previous occasions shipped diamonds aggregating 18,402 carats and valued at over $320,000. Never in the history of this colony, it is stated, has there been so much activity in the diamond industry. The reason is obvious. The industrial situation is gloomy and people are forced to turn their attention to other avenues of labor. Fortunately for the men, the presence in the colony of diamond buyers who represent large interests abroad enables them to get the value of the diamonds without having to wait for any length of time. Canada and the West Indies Canadian trade with the West Indies is fostling at a dangerous rate the incursions made by American exporters. Says the Canadian Gazette: "Apropos of the possibilities which have been opened up for Canadian exporters by the British West Indian commercial agreement, it might be remarked that in their efforts to expand foreign trade especially throughout the British Empire, exporters in Canada are finding the various imperial preferential tariffs of the greatest assistance. Indeed, so well is the agreement working between Canada and the British West Indies that it is an open trade secret that United States importers, who herefore have had things practically their own way in the islands, are finding competition from British sources almost too keen to make further cut-price business on their behalf hardly worth white. "That Canadian exporters can take full advantage of this situation goes without saying, for there is manufactured in Canada, somewhere or other, practically every commodity that the British West Indies islands require. Again, there are many commodities, such as tropical fruits and products, which Canada can secure from the islands, but which are at present imported from the United States. Up to now the high ocean rates have militated against the development of trade between Canada and the islands, but with this disability removed conditions will be eminently favorable for a lasting and continually expanding trade connection." It is of interest to note certain examples of the operation of the preferential agreement between this country and the British West Indian islands. For instance, Canadian flour moving directly to British Honduras, which for trade purposes is regarded as being within British West Indian island territory, is admitted free of duty. Canadian flour moving indirectly through United States ports is subject to a duty of 25 cents per barrel. American flour must pay a tariff of $1 per barrel. Sheet iron from the United States to British Honduras pays a duty of 25 cent. ad valorem, while the Canadian product pays only 10 per cent. American flour going to Jamaica pays a duty amounting to eight pence per barrel and sheet iron 16 2-3 per cent. ad valorem. The duty on Canadian products is three-fourths of these amounts. It is only natural to surmise that United States shipping interests must feel keenly about the matter, as the consequent loss of business to them After undergoing strenuous repairs has been reopened.

MEMBERS,KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN GET YOUR CONSTITUTION And see that everybody lives up to it By Orders UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVET, President-General MENTAL FREEDOM FOR THE NEW NEGRO By LEG' ER TAYLOR The most important of all problems faced by the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Western hemisphere is the release of Negro minds from white mental domination, for the Negro of the Western hemisphere seems to have no mental perspective of the white world. He acts and thinks as a concrete part of it. Most of the Negroes one meets in the United States and in the West. Indians are, as far as their brains are concerned, not Negroes at all, but merely black-skinned Americans, Englishmen or Frenchmen. How often do we hear so-called "educated" Negroes mouthing about "the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome," as if the entire world's civilization had its roots there and not a word about their own ancient civilizations of Egypt and fabled Cush, upon whose gleanings Greece was fed and Rome was reared. How often do we find Negro preachers making a great fuss about the wonderful conception of the Deity given to may have serious results. They state that while these preferential tariffs do not discriminate directly against the United States export trade, as their vessels may call at Canadian ports of shipments, they amount in effect to trade discrimination. They place a premium upon the movement of traffic over Canadian railroads as compared with those in the United States. British shipping companies have established services from Canadian ports to the British West Indies and in this manner benefit from the preferential duty, while only occasional tramp vessels under the United States flag make the voyage. It is quite evident, however, that this preferment is not a violation of treaties existing between Great Britain and the United States, for the treaty of 1815 specifically excludes the West Indies from reciprocal privileges.

So many good old Negro ladies make a great cackling and clucking over Martin Luther and the "Reformation" and the "Spanish inquisition," and all the rest of ft. as if these things had taken place among Negro peoples and had made important changes in Negro life of he times, while completely ignorant of the history of Mohammedanism, which has played a greater part in Negro life than any other religion is ever apt to play. Daily we hear Negro schoolmasters telling Negro scholars about the great exploit of Christopher Columbus in discovering the "New World." without seeming to understand or taking the trouble to explain that Negroes were a part of Europe's unknown world and that European discovery of them was by no means beneficial to them, but rather the contrary. The instances of this sort of thing are too numerous to mention. We have even heard Negroes, talking about the loss to the "civilized" world which would be occasioned by "native" uprisings in Africa. The remedy is education in things Negro, of histories of past Negro civilizations, of Negro philosophies and religions, of Negro life and ideals in Negro countries, of Negro problems from Negro points of view and the stimulation of intense racial consciousness. By voice and pen the Universal Negro Improvement Association has to change this attitude. Never must a U N L A. writer or speaker allow himself ever to take the viewpoint of a white thinker when considering Negro problems or to quote white authorities on Negro subjects. We have to pry loose the white brain from the Negro skull and replace it with a brain which will think in terms of Negro. We are doing it fast, but not fast enough. Too many of us are still without any thinking material except what we have got from white minds. TICE IVERSAL LAUNDRY NEW YORK CITY has been reopened. We are now you.
