The Negro World

THE Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race Reaching the Most of Negroes The Best Advertising Media VOL. XII. No. 8 WORLD SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS LEBEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES TIME TO FACE FACE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: ACCUMULATION WILL NOT SAVE THE NEGRO civilization of another are bound to fall as slaves and subjects to that race The time has come for us to face the Negro problem in the Western World with all the seriousness that it demands. For nearly eighty-five years we have been speculating on the outcome between the contact of white and black in the Western World. Some of our leaders have advanced the belief that in another few years the white people will make up their minds to assimilate their black population, thereby sinking all racial prejudice in the welcoming of the black race into the social companionship of the white. Such leaders further believe that by the amalgamation of black and white a new type will spring up and that type will become the American and West Indian of the future. Some of us think, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is among them, that this belief is preposterous and will never be realized at least for another two hundred years. We believe that white men shall be white, yellow shall be yellow, and black shall be black in the great panorama of races for many more centuries, until each and every race by its initiative lifts itself up to the common standard of humanity as to compel the respect and appreciation of all and to make it possible for other races to stretch out the hand of welcome without being able to be prejudiced against the inferior and unfortunate condition of the race to be so accepted into the new bond of equal fellowship An Unflinching Belief ! The Universal Negro Improvement Association believes in the manhood and initiative of the Negro, that whatsoever other races, let them be white or yellow, have done, the Negro will do, and that after the Negro has successfully done for himself, not only in this Western World, but throughout the world, what others have accomplished, he will be lifted to the common stand- of human progress and there enjoy fellowship and companionship with all those who have even advanced before him. Eternal Differencas The question of race relationship in America is one that will be very disappointing to the Negro who believes that the question will be settled by assimilation. The white man of America will not to any organized extent assimilate the Negro, because in so doing he feels that he will be committing racial suicide. This he is not prepared for. It is true, as you will argue, that illegitimately he carries on a system of assimilation, but after reflection you will come to the conclusion that the assimilation as practiced is one that he is not even prepared in secret to support, because he becomes prejudiced against his own offspring, if that offspring is the product of black and white; hence, to the white man the question of racial differences is eternal; nothing will change his attitude in regard to it. So long as the Negro occupies an inferior position among the races and nations of the world, just so long will they be prejudiced against him, for it will be profitable for them to keep up their system of superiority. But when the Negro by his own initiative lifts himself from his low state to the highest human standard, he will be in a position to stop begging and praying, but to demand a consideration that no individual race or nation will be able to deny. Startling Facts The attitude of the great white race is to subjugate, to exploit, and, if necessary, to exterminate the weaker peoples with whom they come in contact. They will subjugate them first, if the weaker ones will stand for it; then exploit them; then, afterwards, if they will not stand for the subjugation or exploitation, the other recourse is extermination, as with the North American Indian and and the aborigines of Australia and the natives of the many countries now inhabited by the great white race. The "Superiority" of Races As far as the United States is concerned, the Negro need not hope for any day of friendly, sympathetic, social fellowship with the other fellow, because the other fellow is not inclined toward such an attitude. He believes in the superiority of race. You will not blame him for it, because today he is all-powerful, he is progressive, he is advancing on every hand, and whatsoever he has accomplished has been done on his own initiative and not by the leadership of any race that is alien to him. It is human, it is natural that the successful man will hold himself above the unsuccessful individual; so of the race, so of the nation. The greater the nation, the haughtier the people of the nation; the greater the race, the greater the people who make up the race. Therefore, we will not blame the white man of America for being ASSIMILATION NOT SAVE THE NEGRO White Shall Be White and Black Shall Be Black PREJUDICE ALIAS CONDITION, NOT COLOR Attitude of Color White Race Is to Subjugate and Exploit 400,000,000 NEWORDERS SHOULD GET TOGETHER prejudiced against him, and to him the Negro has accomplished nothing. The Negro is a slave or the Negro has been a lackey, a parasite, a ward, a captive, and imprisoned with, and this white man has nurtured him for three years, and therefore refuses to give to this child of his cradle of his manhood and charity the recognition that he would give to himself. Surely he should not accept this ward to his society on equal terms. These are three characteristics planted by way of prejudice in the mind, the heart, the will of the white man of America, and no appeal to reason or to moral conscience of the individual will cause the white man to be prejudice towards us as a wards, to the position of real hero, and to the great accomplishments. We will have as four hundred millions of people the world over, and as fifteen millions in America, to go out and win our spurs in the great race of life. If Negroes live in America for another fifty years or one hundred years without taking the initiative to do for themselves as white men have done from the time of the Pilgrim Fathers to the present day it will mean that for fifty years more Negroes will be lynched, not only in the Southern States but in the Northern States, even as our poor, unfortunate brother was lynched in Indianapolis but fourteen days ago. When Lynching Will Be Stopped Men and women of the race, can you not see that the prejudice against us is not because we are black, but because of our condition? Can you not realize that the white man's attitude towards us will never change until we have changed our condition? Do they lynch Germans? Do they lynch Frenchmen? Do they lynch Englishmen? Do they lynch Japanese? Do they lynch white Americans? The answer is NO. And why? Because these people are represented by great governments, mighty nations and empires, strongly organized; yes, and ever ready to shed the last drop of blood and spend the last penny in the national treasury to protect the honor and integrity of a citizen outraged anywhere. Not until the Negro reaches the point of national independence, not until the Negro has built up for himself successfully his strong and powerful government, not until the Negro has become a great industrial power, not until the Negro has lifted himself from the position of a serf, a peon and a slave to that of a real man, a great African citizen, not until then. I say, will lynching will be stopped; not until then will white men cease their prejudice against us; not until then will the black man receive the recognition and enjoy the respect of the world. A Chain of Minds Emancipated As far as the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes, we are working toward this end. We are determined that the American Negro shall link his hand with the West Indian Negro, the African Negro, the South and Central American Negro, and as one mighty band of four hundred millions we shall agitate and fight for the freedom of our Motherland African and the emancipating of ourselves everywhere. Create a Negro Environment! We need a new emancipation; we need to be emancipated from alien education, alien influence, alien environment; we need to build up a culture and civilization of our own. Any people who accept the culture and civilization of another are bound to fall as slaves and subjects to that race from which they accepted these influences. So long as the Negro continues to bask in the intellectual culture and civilized sunshine of the white man, so long will he take on the ways of the white man, and play a second part in everything done within this civilization; but whenever the Negro gets to the point where he will create his own environment, build and do for himself, at that very hour the Negro's stock in trade is gone up 100%. At that time not only Nature will accept him as a man, but God the Creator will be pleased that the four hundred million black souls He created in His own image have at last stretched out their hands and sent forth their Princes. And We Are Here to Do It! The work for African redemption, the work for the emancipation of the race must be done, and we are to do it—now! The Universal Negro Improvement Association is preparing to do it in 1922, through the great convention which will be held in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August—for 31 days and 31 nights. Negro delegates and representatives from every known part of the world shall assemble themselves in Liberty Hall, New York, there to discuss the great problems that confront them to decide on the great questions that have been puzzling the race for over five hundred years. Our statesmen, I say, shall come from the four corners of the world, from Central America, South America, Australia, Asia, Canada, from the West Indies, from the 48 States of the American Union. Let us all get ready for the great opening day of the convention. Let every Negro steel himself with the true spirit of manhood to do his part for the reclamation of the race and the freeing of our Motherland Africa. Where soever you be, as you read this message, bundle on your times of service, go dred millions at the same time. This is the kind of organization that we want to bring into being; this is the kind of movement we will use for frieing this great race of ours. Come, men; let us support the work. You should, right now, go out and enroll one hundred new members in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, see to it that you make an effort every day between now and the 1st of August. Can it be done; men? Yes, it can be done if you will make up your minds to do it. With the Universal Negro Improvement Association there is no "can't" there is no "if"; it must be done! Negroes, you have doubted yourselves for three hundred years; you have believed in the almighty potency of the other man for five hundred years; you have believed God to have created you to the condition that you now live in. It is a lie, it is not sol God never created you to an inferior position. He made you the equal of all men. You are the equal of the white man, the equal of the yellow man, and the brown man. The white man has no right of way to this green earth of ours, neither the yellow man, or the brown man. All of us are entitled to this great inheritance. All of us were created lords of the creation and whether we be white, yellow, brown or black, Nature intended a place for each and every one. If Europe is for the white man, if Asia is for brown and yellow man, then surely Africa is for the black man. The great white man has fought for the preservation of Europe, the great yellow and brown races are fighting for the preservation of Asia, and four hundred million Negroes shall shed, if need be, the last drop of their blood for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of the race everywhere. Again I say, go out, wipe all doubt from your mind, destroy the belief that it cannot be done, because as there is a God, as there is a creation, there shell be a free Africa, there shall be an emancipated race. Let there be a greater France for Frenchmen, let there be a greater Britain for Englishmen, let there be a greater/white America, for white Americans, let there be a greater Germany for the Teutons, surely there shall be a greater Africa for the Africans, at home and abroad. 2 BRILLI Judici of H O BRILLIANT BANQUE TENDERED HONOR EVI Judicious Estimates Made of Universal Negro Im- Him by Prof. W.

H. Ferris, Duse Mohamed Ali, Father Maloney and Others LIBERTY HALL, New York. Thursday Evening, March 20, 1922.—A banquet and reception were tendered here tonight in honor of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, founder and leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association upon the eve of his departure for an extended tour throughout the United States in the interests of furthering the great cause he represents, a tour that in all probability will take almost until the time for the holding of the coming annual convention of the association to cover est culture in vocal music and sax with an art and finish that is rare in colored singers.

This is the third time that I have had the privilege or the opportunity of partaking at a banquet in Liberty Hall. Today I happened to take lunch with a gentleman who is a Mason and I asked him what it about Masonry that caused a Mason to be prouder than an Odd Fellow, or a Knight of Pythias, and he stated that the cordial principle of Though the weather was most inclement, a large gathering was present among whom were many notables, and with its beautiful and tasteful decorations the great hall was a scene of brilliance seidom witnessed at similar festive occasions given by colored people. Two long tables, seating sixty people each, were placed lengthwise of the hall, toward the entrance doors on the 138th street side, and directly facing the rostrum. Here the diners ate of the abundant and rich delicacies provided and arranged by the caterer, three relays being required to supply everyone present. At the first sitting the officers of the association were given scaets. These included the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who sat at the head of table No. 1. Sir William Ferria, Sir Geo. Tobias, Hon. R. L. Poston, Hon. U. & Poston, Hon. Rudolph H. Smith, Mrs. Bishop Alexander Waiters, Hon. Duse Mohammed, and Father Maloney, of the Indianapolis (Ind.) division of the U. N. L. A. Mr. Garvey delivered a brief toast, and then, as toastmaster, introduced the other speakers. The toasts given were of a complimentary nature, in which due credit was given Mr. Garvey for the organization of the movement that has now grown to world-wide proportions, and the supporters of which number more than 4,000,000. No extravagant praise was indulged in, but rather sober, conservative expressions of a proper estimate given of Mr. Garvey's services in imaginative work and brains in its present position of eminence and success. A miscellia of these addresses are given in a separate column, as part of this article, Mrs. Bishop Alexander Walters. Sir William L. Perris, Hon. Rudolph Smith and Father Maloney being the speakers.

The band of twenty-five pieces, under the direction of Prof Lales, contributed in an especial manner to the program, and during the dancing furnished a liberal supply of 'jazz' and other popular music that lulled the dancers as they tripped along to the fantastic strains into momentary thoughts of heavenly bliss. Everyone present was pleased with the entire evening's entertainment. A most occasions like this, much complaint is heard of the menu, which, though printed on elaborate menu cards, is far below the standard, but in this instance the menu served was appetizing and most delicious. In short, the occasion was another deserved tribute to the man of the hour, his whose terpidity and sagacity is leading the Negro people of the world on in our present day to heights to which they had hitherto never even dreamed. That Mr. Garvey stands today stronger as the acknowledged, real leader of the Negroes not only of this country but of the world over, no one can deny, and that the work he is doing, through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is yielding incalculable and lasting good and benefit to the race, is proving itself more and more every day. Tributes of this kind, therefore, are deserved, and when given, as the tendered tender to Mr. Garvey tonight by his friends and followers, they serve as a genuine expression of appreciation on the part of the people of the benefits; they are deriving from the generosity of the community. Mary Hall is more than twice the size of Manhattan Casino—in fact larger than any other public hall that is used by colored people in this city—and it is rapidly growing to be the most popular resort of the masses both for racial and social and convivial occasions. Tonight's large attendance, despite the inclement weather, is undeniable evidence of this fact. After-Dinner Speeches In responding to the call of Mr. Garvey, as toastmaster for toasts or brief after-dinner speeches, the following persons rose and spoke as follows: Father Maloney. "It is a splendid thing when men and women will come together on convivial occasions and exchange ideas while they stand over their teacups. It is a splendid thing because there is that element in our social life that must needs find recreation, and such occasions as this give splendid opportunity for the expression of our social ideas.

Let there be found that bond of fraternal union that shall last from now until the end, and when in that great banquet feast above we meet again we shall know the acquaintances born here at Liberty Hall. Professor Ferris. This is the third time that I have had the privilege or the opportunity of partaking at a banquet in Liberty Hall. Today I happened to take lunch with a gentleman who is a Mason and I asked him what was it about Masonry that caused a Mason to be bequerel to an Odd Fellow, or a Knight of Pythias, and he stated that the cardinal principle of Masonry was fraternal fellowship—the Determination to stand by a friend and stand by a brother-man. That is one of the cardinal principles of the U N I A and in addition it has a larger reach I see before me Duse Slohamed All Eiffendi, whom we all know to be a man of renown There is something about the U N I A that it can reach hands across the seas, hundreds and thousands of miles and knit an Egyptian with Americans and West Indians and South Americans. Emerson says that a great institution is the lengthened shadow of a great man and the U N I A is the lengthened shadow of the Hon Marcus Garvey, because it embodies a bigger ideal of confraternity of Negroes. I believe that we are at the beginning of a new era. A new spirit has been created in the Negro which will go on and on inspiring him to hope, to struggle and press forward until Ethiopia is a respected nation among the nations of the world (Applause) Hon Rudolph Smith "As I sat here thinking of this great noble work I wondered within myself how many of us realise the value of this great organization Around these tables tonight we see persons from various parts of the world, and it is a wonderful thing that this organization has been able to bring us together with one common purpose There can be no greater and nobler purpose than that which the U, N, I. A. represents, and I hope that each and every one of us will help to carry on this noble work until one bright day we can stand on that soil where there is perpetual sunshine and where we can see the sons and daughters of Africa, enjoying life's pleasures under the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green." Mrs. Blahop Walters: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a pleasure for me to be here tonight. Last night I was at a great meeting where they discussed the cause of Gandhi and the great nationalist movement in India under his leadership. As I sat there and listened to this cause expounded and set forth my mind was drawing comparisons between the Gandhi movement and our own great movement, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. There they spoke very seriously of the outstanding leaders of mankind down the line from Haninbal, Napoleon, George Washington, Toussalant L'Ouverture, and as one spoke of our own great leader Hon. Marcus Garvey. I thought that a serious omission had been made. To my mind he has reached the pinnacle of fame and is the most outstanding figure in the world of mankind today. To him I say, "Carry on Marcus Garvey my great work that will lead others to their goal and my name shall be sacred in the annals of history." AFRICAN CHIEF SAVES LIFE OF SPEAR-PIERCED DANCE It is due to the tribal knowledge of Congo Montino, once an African chieftain, that Miss Uraula Gillis, a dancer, of 25 Von Corlcar place, Inwood, is alive today and well on her way toward complete recovery. Early yesterday morning car life was despaired of for a moment when the guests of Miss Ida V Simonton, an African explorer saw the polished head of an African spear pierce her foot. The spear was jarred from the wall, it is believed, by the rhythm of the war dance which Congo was doing as the final feature of the party in the studio at 24 West Portloth street. Jumping to the girl's side when he heard the heavy crash of the spear, Congo put his lips to the wound and sucked out the poison which he knew so well.

URGE MILLER TO VETO HYLAN'S SALARY BILL City College Alumni Also Want Governor to Force Increase in Professors' Pay Alumni of City College, meeting at the City College Club, 46 East Fifth street, sent a telegram last night to Governor Miller, asking that he intervene to force the Board to Estimate to appropriate the money they may the increases in the salaries of members of the teaching staff of the day, night and summer sessions of the college. They also asked the governor to disapprove the bill increasing the salaries of the mayor, the controller and the other members of the Board of Estimate as it was contended that it was approved by one of its members in violation of the charter provisions and the constitutional requirement. GRAVE OF GRANDFATHER LOUISVILLE. April 8.—That the grave of Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the martyr President, has been found in a churchyard near here is the belief of several persons who recently have completed an extensive investigation. The investigators found two stones—their inscription blotted away by long exposure to the elements—which they believe mark the grave of the emancipator's grandfather, who was killed by Indians in 1788 within sight of his cabin and before the eyes of his three sons. According to R. C. Ballard Thurston, who has made a preliminary investigation of deeds in the Jefferson County courthouse, the examination warrants the belief the land composing the churchyard is part of the Lincoln property, which included 400 acres. MICHIGAN RECOVERS FROM GRIP OF SNOW AND ICE DETROIT, Mich., April 8—Warner weather has loosened the depressant grip of ice and agave juice in Michigan and Ontario until rapid progress in the struggle back to normal, after many sections had been isolated for three days by broken telegraph and telephone wires. Wire communications were restored yesterday with scores of cities that had been without word from other sections, except by radio or rail lines. Facilities will not be normal, it is estimated, before the middle of this week. POLICE AVERT LYNCHING OF NEGRO CAVALRY MAN WASHINGTON, April 3.—Lynching of Alfred Lawrence, o' Troop E, Third Cavalry, stationed at Fort Myer, Va., accused of an offense against a nine-year-old white girl, was narrowly averted here last yesterday, according to police. The child, lured by the offer of an Easter rabbit to the stable, where, it is alleged, she was attacked, is in a critical condition. Lawrence is held on a charge which, in the district of Columbia, carries the death penalty, in the discretion of the jury. JAPANESE DISARM RUSSIAN TROOPS ROUTED BY REDS TOKIO April 2—Reports from Vladivostok today said the Red forces of the Chita government, advancing southward along the Ussuri Railway in pursuit of Vladivostok government troops, had reached Spasskoya. The Vladivostok troops, as fast as they are forced to retire into territory guarded by the Japanese, are being disarmed by the Japanese forces, the report said. Some thousands of Red troops are said already to have invaded Japanese neutral territory, the Japanese hesitating to open hostilities in view of pending negotiations in the Chita republic.

If they fight the situation would become further complicated. If they shake hands the maintenance of troops there for the past five years loses its significance. The Asahi alleges the representatives at Dairen have been notified of Japan's intention to evacuate Reports from Vladivostok said the Red forces of the Chita government, adding southward along the Lasuri Railway in pursuit of Vladivostok government troops had reached Spasakoye. The Vladivostok troops, as fast as they are forced to retreat into territory guarded by the Japanese, are being disarmed by the Japanese forces the reports said. Some thousands of Red troops are said already to have invaded Japanese neutral territory, the Japanese hesitating to open hostilities, in view of negotiations that have been pending some time at Dairen between the Japanese government and the Chita Soviet republic.

"TABOO "WILL BE SEEN AT SPECIAL MATINEE Miss Wiborg's Play of Negro Super station to Have a Hearing Not the minister side of the negro but the serious side of his character brought over from Africa with him in the slave ships, forms the theme of Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg's first play "Taboo," to be presented by Augustin Duncan at a special matinee at the Sam H Harris Theatre, Tuesday, April 4 Miss Wiborg explained that it was her primary aim to depict the value of education in destroying the influence of superstition on the negroes mind. The play deals principally with woodism practised by negroes in certain part of the South "It always seemed to me, said Mia Wiborg, that the minstrel side of the negro has been too often emphasized when a more serious treatment of the race has value in showing there is a deeper vein among these people that is more worth depicting. "What impressed me was the hold that superstition has so widely on colored people. I wanted to go into the origin of that superstition and that's what this play brings out—that it was derived straight from the coast of Africa. Moreover it shows how education can eliminate this—now the negro is. In fact, improving through education to the point where it has driven away his primitive fear." MAY HOLD JACK JOHNSON IN CONTEMPT OF COURT Justice Cohalan, in Supreme Court tomorrow will determine whether or not an order should issue against John Arthur Johnson, the negro heavyweight pugilist, adjudging him guilty of contempt of court and imposing punishment therefor.

DONATION TO PASTOR GETS GLAD HAND Baltimore Pastor Impressed with K. K. K. When He Gets Fat Envelope BALTIMORE. April 2. While the congregation of the Boundry Methodist Episcopal Church (white) in Wavell looked on in wonder and protest (twent) two men in the full regalia of the Ku Klux Klan bearing the fiery cross of the order stalked into the building and were eulogized by the pastor tonight. The final prayer had been delivered when the door opened and the Klanism entered.

NEGRO WORLD NEXT PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE IN CHILE Conference to Be in Santiago, Chile, Probably in March, 1923 WASHINGTON April 2 — The fifth Pan American conference will probably be held in Santiago, Chile, in March, 1923. The place for holding the conference had been previously selected but the date had not been fixed. The matter will come up at the meeting of the governing board of the Pan-American Union this week when it is believed, final approval will be given to the proposal. The Pan-American conferences take up questions of economic and commercial interest to the nations of the Western Hemisphere, such as those dealing with commercial treaties, patients trademarks, copyrights, uniformity in consular documents and in censure and commercial statistics, continuance of treaties on pecuniary claims, methods of improving mail, passenger and express steamship service between the United States and the other American republic, interchange of students and professors and similar questions looking to the improvement of relations between the Pan-American nations The reorganization of the United States to American Committee the personnel of which was announced last week by Secretary Hughes, is a step by this government preparatory to the Santiago meeting, as one of the purposes of the committee is to adjourn with the Secretary of State with reference to the programs of future conferences. Each of the Pan-American countries has a similar committee to advise with its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Henry White, one of the members named by Secretary Hughes to the new committee, was chairman of the American delegation to the fourth Pan-American conferences in Buenos Aires in 1910 and has served on other Pan-American committees. While no consideration has been given as yet to the personnel of the United States delegation to the Santiago conference it is considered likely that Mr. White will be one of the delegates. C.B.Q.

It would, perhaps, be timely, therefore, to discuss certain of the conditions leading up to the massacre, as many of a similar nature are liable to be perpetrated before Negroes are sufficiently organized to take active steps to prevent the recurrence of such outrages. The great panacea of English statesmen for unrest in the British Isles is the stimulation of immigration to the *Colonies*, for when the oppressed be come the oppressors they generally help all the dissatisfaction with the existing scheme of things which they had when they were in the wrong box themselves. This briefly explains the *Muller-settler* schemes so popular in England after the war. We will not discuss the ethics of the British Government in giving away the lands of the Crown to the Negro owners of those lands but we will discuss Sir Edward Northey's system for conveniently providing the white settlers in East Africa with a sufficient number of Negro serfs to their ill-gotten plantations. "When, not no long ago, Lord Salisbury declared that When I speak of foreign policies, I mean African policies, he was only expressing the current sentiment that Africa and the Negro inhabitants of Africa are to be looked upon, officially and unofficially, as the legitimate plunder of the strongest or shrewdest European nation, and the most of the activities of European diplomats were centred around securing and holding for the peoples or interests they represented the largest possible share of the rich spoils. With this fact in mind, the postulated attitude of the white settler in East Africa that is the most important of the first claim upon the labor power of the indigenous African is perfectly natural and easily understood by the careful Negro student of white psychology and their plan to their home governments that by some means or other the Negro must be made to fulfill his appointed place by "working for wages" for the white man is nothing to be wondered at. The statement that Lord Delamare in 1912 that, "If the policy were to be continued that every native was to be a landholder of a sufficient area on which to establish himself then the question of obtaining a satisfactory labor supply would never be settled" was pithily indicative of the state of mind of those in whose hands the destiny of East African Negroes lay and prophetic of the course of action likely to be pursued by them the very popular method of taking away the land from the Negro owners. That same trend of mind we find constantly protruding itself in remark, like those of Mr 'J' Howitt an East African white settle of some influence that he "did not favor the idea of natives being taught better methods of agriculture in the reserve, on the ground that if they were taught to work in the reserves, the tendency would be for them to come out at all. In the event of the effect might be different, then the effect might be different, which analyzed, meant that the change of the white settlers of East Africa, the Negro was making himself happy and comfortable on the little land allotted to him by his conquerors and still holding out against working for wages" for the white settlers, possibly because a goodly part of these wages were paid in the common European currency when dealing with subject people—kicks, cuts and hard words. Such were the conditions just before the war. As soon as the war was over and the first batches of soldier-settlers began to arrive in East Africa, certain English statesmen were seized with a burning desire to teach the East African Negro, for his own moral welfare, the dignity of labor-by compulsion—and so the "ordinances" came into being. The "ordinances" in Kenya provided for a levy of twenty four days for local public works, and a conscription of sixty days for general public works—eighty four days in all—of forced-labor for every Negro male in the colony.

In order that this 'exemption clause' should not be misinterpreted, a "Commission appointed by the Convention of Associations the most important of the British white public opinion in the colony," declared "Compulsory paid (*) labor for government departments is provided for under the Native Authority Amendment Ordinance. By virtue of this law men who have been employed for wages for a period of three months in the previous year can be compelled to work for a period of sixty days for a public department. For the benefit of those Negroes who so often act as if the "Church" as constituted by white men is the greatest friend and defender of them would be forced to take an ordinance in the framing of the Archbishop of Kaskirondo the Year-General and the Chaplain of Nairobi. The seasure of their land, the fencing of them into practical slavery, and the levying of the excessive taxes by which it is hoped to make the Negro of East Africa pay the expenses of the British campaigns against the Germans in those sections, have brought the Negroes of East Africa to the point where they prefer to die fighting rather than to submit longer to the indigenous shaped upon them high time for the British to impose the summary slaughter of those who presume to repulse the benign ministrations of the "Empire" We wonder if the white administrators of "colonies" in Africa realize that through the ever-growing influences of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the wrong done in one Negro community are almost immediately known and understood in every other Negro community in the world. We wonder if they realize that they cannot back the Negroes of the Western Hemisphere from uniting with the main body of Negro population in Africa. We wonder if they realize that today there is no secret of Europe, which is known to Negroes. We wonder if they realize the truth of the adage "Those who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind." Surely they must realize that this state of things cannot exist forever, or else they are ignorant of the lessons of the past. KU KLUX ORDER JAP- ANESE TO QUIT FARMS Consul at California Investigating Alleged Demand by Parties in Autos SAN FRANCISCO, April 1 — The hand of the Ku Klux Klan is seen in an alleged demand made upon several hundred Japanese residents of Oroal, Tulare county, and Delano, Kern county, by automobile parties of white men that they vacate their farms and other interests by today, which was being investigated by S. Yada, Japanese Consul General here. It was announced today by Yada. The Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice also has been advised of the demand, he said. Yada announced that he had notified the Japanese language newspapers here to advise their readers not to be alarmed. He also said he would be compelled to appeal to Governor Stephens in the event of violence. The notice was served March 15, according to Yada. He said he had informed his government in Tokyo and emasor Shibara, who is now here.

Speaking at the Kenya Colony and Uganda dinner at the Hotel Victoria, Northumberland avenue, Rt Hon. Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for the Colonies, prophesied the formation of a great East African Confederation, almost an empire, comprising the various native territorial forces. In a few years he hoped there would be an amalgamation of Kenya, I ganda, Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The wonderful country of Uganda would in 50 or 100 years be regarded as an economic asset in a new material of vital kinds of the very first order in the whole structure and composition of the British commercial organization. "It is curious. Mr Churcell will want on, that on the morrow of the greatest of our victories we should be confronted in some Asiatic and other countries for which we are responsible with many evidences of unrest. There seems to be an impression that all the discontented elements in these native countries should do is to express a wish that the British should depart, bag and baggage, and we should immediately return to England, that that we made it clear that that is not the rule that we should follow "Do other countries follow that rule?

"We wish to bring to your knowledge that in the short space of nine months, from the 20th of May, 1921, to the 16th of February, 1922, Le Courrier Halton, organ of national defense of the Republic of Hayti, has been, six times, victim of the arbitrary action of the American forces occupying the Haytian territory, for nearly seven years. Six of its members have been imprisoned several times by American military authorities, five of them having been condemned to six months hard labor and one fined $300. On the 20th of May, 1921, under the pretext that Mr Welly Thebaud, reporter of the Courrier Halten, had made a speech at Arcahale—a speech declared sedition by the American authority—at the occasion of the 1928 anniversary of the creation of the Haysin fig. his residence was vicious. He was arrested by the Marine Corps. Having been arrested a few days after, he was thrown into prison. On the 7th of June, 1921. Moszur J. Jolibols Fils and J Lanoue, directors of the Courrier Hattien, were condemned to six months hard labor and each one billed $200, for having published articles with blanks, such articles being declared sedentious by the American authority because they had blanks (7*11). The first one, Mr. J. Jolibols Fils suffered in prison the worst treatment from the American officer.

It would be a great mistake to imagine that France maintains her position in Morocco, Algiers and Tunis by firm policy alone. That there must be, but there is also every care taken to understand the feelings and wishes of the native population and intimately to study their feelings. The French administrators and officials are accustomed to mingle with the natives and associate with them in a way that sometimes our rather more aloof British officials have latterly become accustomed to do.

GOVERNOR OF PORTO RICO TO QUIT POST Recall Was Demanded, Said to Have Told Friends He Will Retire WASHINGTON April 2—E Mont Relly of Kansas City Governor of Porto Rico, is understood to have advised friends in Washington that he will relinquish his office within the next six weeks to accept an important adminis- trative post in Washington. Governor Kelly was appointed last May, and accepted the position with the understanding that it was to be temporary. He has been under fire from various elements in Porto Rico which, led by Felix Cordova Davila, the Porto Rican Resident Commissioner in Washington, have been demanding that he be recalled. President Harding, however, supported his appointee. Governor Kelly refused to retire while under fire, but it is now asserted that he feels he has won a victory with the action of the Unionist party in striking from its platform the independence plank, and that he has advised the President that better results can probably be obtained by naming it now Governor of PortBrix. Members of the New York delegation in the House of Representatives have recommended Rhinelander Waldo, who was Mayor Gaynor's Polico Commissioner, for appointment as Governor Relly's successor. It is understood that Arthur Oldin, now United States Judge in Porto Rico, who was at one time a business associate of Secretary of War Weeks, and Colonel Orval P. Townsend, U. B. A., who organized and commanded the Porto Rican troops during the World War, also have been recommended for the position. It is said the appointment of Colonel Townsend, now stationed in Baltimore, would be entirely satisfactory to all Porto Rican elements, but that the appointment of Judge Oldin probably would not please the Unionist or majority party in the island One report in Washington tonight is that Governor Riley might be appointed to succeed Angus M. McLean of North Carolina as one of the directors of the War Finance Corporation, but it was pointed out tonight in this connection that the term of Dwight Davie of St Louis, who also is a director of the War Finance Corporation, likewise will expire in May. PAHIS, March 20—Recently a senegalese battalion was brought across the Mediterranean and quartered in Montauban in Southern France. A committee of townfolk has asked whether it is intended to import the Africans' wives as well, as they do not think the presence of the troops desirable if they are to remain bachelors. Commissary General Diagee of the French Cabinet, who is himself colored, says the wives are not to be imported. He produces statistics relative to the good behavior of the Africans on the Rhine and publishes love letters from German girls to colored soldiers.

World Awakened to Grand Negro Economic, Political and Social Upheaval-Black Men Bivonacked on the Battlefields of Democracy By A. H. MALONEY Great movements and great personalities go together. Movements furnish outlet for the genius of these personalities; and they supply direction, inspiration and co-ordination to great movements. There is a relationship between the two that is so vital as to transcend even that of causality. Can anyone explain in causal terms the relationship between the attainment of independence by the original colopiles and the great galaxy of stars of the first magnitude in the personnel of the founding fathers? The masses contribute the brute force, the kinetic energy; but it is the leadership that furnishes co-ordination and efficient guidance. There is a radical difference between a mass movement and a mob movement; and the difference lies chiefly in the field of leadership. "By their fruits you shall know them." Mob movements bear the fruits of destruction and disintegration; mass movements inaugurate great evolutionary changes. Mob movements are sporadic, fital and fleeting, mass movements are charged with the ingredients of permanency. Speaking biologically, the former are like acquired traits; they die with the death of the agent. The latter are like hereditary traits; they are passed on. From the day that the slave-traders captured the first Negro and consigned him to slavery, there was conceived within the womb of the race a determination to regain its freedom. The Angels sold in the marte of Rome did not have need of a Gregory to fertilize within their souls the germ of the desire to be free. The fertile germ was there. It had to have time to pass through the natural stages of its development, maturity before it ready to make its claims effective by striking out for freedom and self-determination. So it was, is and ever shall be with every race and tribe of white stock. The psychic history of the Negro race during the last three centuries might not be inaptly described as a mute muttering for liberty and the rights of men. Embryonjo he was, but the quivers of his growing restiveness have quite frequently shaken visibly, the smug, complacency, of the age. Here and there, the considering ember of his interior, attentively having broken forlornly into ploughs, only to be smothered because of a mistlethood on the part of the group of its leadership, or both. But the embers have never been effectually extinguished. Misguided men have confused the smoke issuing forth under such conditions of response for the flames themselves; and intermittent outbursts of flames have been smothered by sycophantic and spineless handpicked leadership. These have contributed their share towards the thwarting of the fixed forward urge of the unconscious masses. Here we have the scientific explanation for the stillbirth efforts of more than one movement bent upon effective liberation. But these all have served exsnd. They have cleared the way for the advent of the final mass movement. They have served as twilight moments just before the dawn. And so, in due time, the world has awakened to witness a grand upheaval in the social, economic, political and psychic life of the Negro peoples of the world. The food-gate of democracy opened during the war, the cry of self-determination for weaker nations and "backward" peoples have stirred the very foundations of organized thought and corporate life. And out of the swirl there has been thrown up upon the shore & new figure—the figure of the Negro. Hoary-headed slaves and horney-handed sons have A YOUNG OLD NEGRO By J. B. Cook It was in a small place of business that I first met him. His strong, honest browns face at once appealed to me. We conversed about things of the past, from the City of Brotherly Love, from which we both game. He was a veteran of the Civil War—a soldier of the Fighting Ninth. He had lived in Mexico for twelve years, and was a beautiful Spanish conversationalist. The eight four score years of age, he could pass for half the number. A business man, a traveling agent, on his cards of business there was stamped the letters U. N. I. A. He proudly wore the colors of the Red, Black and Green. The ringing of his last words are still in my ears "For God, sake, my boy, stand by the U. N. I.

They are dead tired of temporary make-shifts, spoiled hitherto by the aroms of democracy, they now ask for nothing less than the thing itself—its utter substance.

Back: By so doing it libels a race as a pacety is too advanced to permit this sort of action; we can do is to stop piling up our pennies on a thin of gold. IT is about time that the New York Journal stop its maddening tirade against the Negro. To bamboozie the mob, to pander to the prejudices and animal instincts of the untutored masses is a penchant of this paper. It likes to sit down and imagine a picture of a black savage somewhere on the out-kirts of Port-au-Prince or Sierra Leone meeking up behind a "young, beautiful white girl," and after slaying her, eat her "tender white flesh." It likes to magnify the blood-thirstiness of cannibals, to bring in a lot of historical twaddle about the "beast-like" practice of voodooism among the higher class of Negroes Yes, and with its usual cleverness, a white woman, a girl of long and stately tresses, is invariably projected into the scene, the victim of the cannibal's lust and licentiousness. At times whole pages, expensively illustrated, are devoted to this sort of social-anthropological bunk. But we will get down to brass tacks. On April 1, 1922, the Journal, in its society and pictorial section, recites the tale of the origin and the action of the Liberian Government in wiping out what it picturesquely calls "The Leopard Society," a man-eating body whose victims are restricted to "young, beautiful white girls." Looking at the page one sees a sketch of a fair-faced Cinderella-looking girl with a Negro in a leopard skin at her back, stealthily creeping up behind her; the saint-like faces of a missionary and his wife, and, in the centre, a complete photograph of a naked African with bow and arrow. Above is a seven-column headline "Slain by the Iron Claws of the Dreaded Leopard Society," and "Young Girl-Are the Only Victims of These Mysterious Jungle Killers and Cannibals Against Whom the Liberian Government and American Mission Workers Have Declared War." Then begins the circulation-evailing tactics of Mr. Hearst. At first three paragraphs begin in a murder-mystery fashion: "What did this frightful killing? Lion, tiger or some other jungle beast thirsting for human blood or else surprised at the water hole and pouncing upon the intruder in a frenzy of fear?" It goes on, puts the reader—the ignorant, unthinking white mob—in an excited frame of mind. It is an effective method of "working him up," of preparing him for the dramatic climax. It comes . . . "There the slashed throat, the missing heart, and the four-pronged furrow cruelly carved in the flesh," can mean but one thing—the "Leopard Men have struck again."

Almost entirely ignored by a subject of potential interest to capita epels ago Leo Africanus pointed out to the vices and virtues of the proposition. but if the loan is to be extended Liberia PINION on the granting of the $5,000,000 loan to Liberia is raging on all sides. Almost entirely ignored by Negro editors, it is a subject of potential interest to capitalist periodicals. Only a few weeks ago Leo Africanus pointed out to readers of The Negro World the vices and virtues of the proposition. Since then it is clear to all that if the loan is to be extended Liberia will share the states of her sister republic, Halit, as a "protectorate" of the United States. As the Philadelphia Bulletin puts it, Liberia "might prove a useful outpost for American enterprise in Africa some day, but the question is whether the prospect is good enough to warrant the risk of mixing in the European melee that seems like to prevail in Africa, even with Germany crowded out." That, of course, is a ruffle that the lobbyists of the oil and rubber interests of Wall Street can very easily iron out. But the tilting that is going to guaw at a lot of us is the question, after her record in Santo Domingo and Halit, is the United States a fit, a clear and just guardian of Liberian sovereignty? Yes. It is our honest belief that it would be for the good of the country as a whole if the United States were to step in and assist Liberia, even at the expense of a reign of tyranny and dictatorship, out of her tense political and economic difficulties. Just as we feel that it would be for the benefit of the Islands as a whole if the United States were to secure control of the West Indies. There are extravagant views, but when one takes into consideration the fact that yearly a majority of Negroes from all parts of the world come to America for the sake of the opportunity America offers in an economic way, they do not become so extravagant after all. mission to draw up a Declaration of Principles for the Negro race. Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University is chairman of the commission. That in itself indicates that the declaration will be a masterpiece of logic and rhetoric. Well, the colored brethren for over thirty years have been meeting, resolving and dissolving. They have uttered speeches of the Patrick history variety. They have put forth elaborate preambles, the whereas and therefore be it resolved. And still the world moved on. Eloquence and philosophy have a place in human life, but unless they are backed by gold eagles, greenbacks, bank notes and property values that yield an income and can readily be converted into dollars and pounds they will remain but sublime dreams of the imagination. We have not had too much philosophy and eloquence, but too little cash and industrial resources. We need declarations which will not only eloquently voice the Negro's claim to recognition and his right to be regarded as a man created in the Divine image instead of a beast of the field, but we also need declarations which evince a statesman's insight into modern political life and a sociological grasp upon modern economic, industrial and social conditions. Let the orators paint vivid word-pictures. Let them unfold in a series of ascending climaxes. But while they soar to the skies in their perfervid oratory, let them keep their feet firmly planted upon Mother Earth and remember that the bread problem is the fundamental problem of human life.

In fact, it was through the efforts of Mr Hart with Senator Evarts of Vermont (New York, rather), who introduced the bill that made the Law School possible."

But a disciple of Compte in philosophy would naturally find his wings clipped under the limitations and restrictions imposed by the average Negro college.

The Nation tells us that Mr. Lothrop Stoddard is writing a "book on the ferment in the Negro Race." Periodicals of vast intellectual conservatism are planning "Negro numbers", open discussion of the problem of the ages is indulged in by black and white orators and debaters from the same rostrum, novels and dramas are being created and built around the tragedy of what it is to be black. It is a healthy sign, and an index to the white man's character.

SITUATION IN FAR EAST IS CRITICAL "War Immilent with Japan." Bays Delegate to Washington WASHINGTON; D. C. April 8.—"War on a large scale between the Far Eastern Republic of Siberia and Japan is imminent," was the statement today of B. Svirsky of the Far Eastern delegation, who for several months has been trying to interest this government in the situation. "It may have even now begun. Japanese troops and our own army are facing each other at Nikolak, only a few miles north of Vladivostok. We have had cables from the home government in Chita within the last few days. They say the situation is most critical. I do not see how serious trouble can be averted. "I have read the statement of Trotsky, War Minister of Soviet Russia, in which he told the Red Army that it might be forced to march against the Japanese. After all we are Russians, and no Russian will willingly see the Japanese tighten their hold on our maritime privileges." "The Far Eastern or Chita Republic has a total of 40,000 men in its army. The Japanese have some 40,000 troops in and around Vladivostok. But, they can easily bring in reinforcements from Manchuria and from the considereable troops they maintain in the border in Korea.

UPROAR ON BIRTH CONTROL Stormy Meeting of Woman Followers Propaganda in Mexico WASHINGTON, April 8—The temples of Margaret Sanger on birth control are not popular in Mexico, if the unfriendy reception by the people of Marida, capital of Fucatan, can be decapted as a guide. Prof. Jens de la Lou Mena, chairman of the Board of Primary Education, according to a Mexico City despatch today, distributed many birth control pamphlets in the public schools, but a turbulent gathering of the feminine club. Rita Estina, past right supporter, the literature has unpunished, insistent And Turkey, weakened by a three hundred years' struggle with the forces of Christendom and smarting under the occupation of Constantinople and the unjust terms of the treaty of Sevres, stretched forth her Nationalist hands to Russia for that military aid and cooperation which would enable her to stem the tide of armed Greek presumption; and Enver Pasha, fleeing from a vindictive Europe, found asylum and employment for his military prowess in Soviet Russia. That this intrepid commander should now be at variance with the Moscow Government is not surprising to those who have followed his remarkable career. This is doubtless the key to Mr. Lloyd George's contemplated adjustment of the Russian situation. During the war a revival of "pan-Islam," as the Europeans term it, was noticeable in Turkestan, where there are not less than 30,000,000 Muslims. These Muslims were never content with Russian Czarist methods, and they saw in the Bolshevist Government an aid to self-help and absolute independence. But the Soviets, having used them as a pawn in the game they were playing with England, which resulted in the success of Gregory Kassine's peace overtures, absolutely nullified all hope of independence for the people of Turkestan, because England was in mortal fear that an independent Turkestan would not only assist Nationalist Turkey, but would also—with the assistance of Enver Pasha—be the torch which would set the Islamic world afaise. It therefore became necessary for Russia, who could not exist without organized European commercial assistance, to appeal to Great Britain for help, because England was still the dominating factor in the diplomacy and commerce of Europe. Directly an agreement was arrived at, the people of Central Asia said that there was little hope of securing their political freedom other than by the sword; and Enver Pasha, who had been previously held in suspicion by them, by detaching himself from Moscow and placing his military services at the disposal of their leaders at Ferghana, might, very conceivably, effect a junction with Kamel Pasha's army and take the war into Russia, where the peasantry is none too content with the waywardness of Soviet administration. Mr. Lloyd George's contemplated reduction of the Red Army might prove a boomerang to Europe, and—well, the spirit of Ghengis Khan and Timour Langis not dead among Mongolian Muslims, and "Enver, the First, Emperor of the Russians," would not, by any means, be an ill-sounding title in the ears of a persecuted Islamic world. News from El Arish, dated March 30, states that France has lost seven hundred men, killed and wounded; these men who belonged to two French columns, operating in Morocco, were surprised by the Tribeamen in the Moulouya Valley of French Morocco. This, together with the fact that a Spanish official announcement was made on the following day, in which the adoption of a pacific policy in Morocco has been decided upon by the Spanish Cabinet, and the postponement of this embarkation of further Spanish troops for the Spanish Morocco zone, is an indication that both France and Spain are having a very uncomfortable time in Mediterranean Africa. It has been obvious for a very long time that neither French nor Spanish penetration of Morocco was to the liking of the Moors, and it (Continued on page 5) JOURNEY'S END FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI BY ZORA NEALE HURTON Ahl let me rest, when I have done, Beneath a warming, stirring dune, Beneath a flower-studded god That shows the emiling face of God. Whilst Lord Curzon hurls his stage thunder at the Powers, warning all and sundry, that the status quo ante bellum is to be maintained in Egypt, as far as the status of the aaid European powers are concerned, and that the might of England will be used to curb the aggression of any power wo might seek territorial or other extraordinary advantage in the Nile Valley, the intrepid and ambitious Enver Pasha, the hero of the Turkish revolution of Tripoli and Adrianople, is once more on the war path in Turkestan with an army of 70,000 strong. In the meanwhile, Mr. Lloyd George is endeavoring to staisfy the British political malcontents by proposing a partial disarmament of Russia at the forthcoming Genoa Conference, so that England's official recognition of the Moscow Government may become easy. Czarist Russia's liabilities to British commercial firms be liquidated by the Soviet, and by reducing the Red Army by a million men, safeguard Poland, the Baltic States, Austria, Hungary and the rest, from the pernicious doctrine of a virulent communism which threatens to overwhelm a plutocratic Europe. In kindly earth that comfort gave, A kingly couch where dreams the brave, Where longing hurries weeping grief, Where halting goes the gilded chief. Sweet spring will trail a bridal veil, Grim Frost shall lose his howl and wail, And summer flowers deck my breast And sunlight gild me from the west. But I shall rise with verdant spring, And I shall speak when song-birds sing, And laughing ripple in the streams, And flit and flicker in the beams. Ah! let me rest when I have done, When I my earthly courses have run, And wake me not to shame or blame, Nor stir my dust with flore of fame. In this way, England's Prime Minister hopes to allay French suspicion, permitting the French Government to continue its armed support of Poland against the "Red Menace" and at the same time secure usual stability in the Baltic States so that there may be safety for introduction of American capital which is necessary to the financial stability of Europe and of the world at large. It, therefore, follows that the much-advertised economic conference at Genoa is only another name for a political understanding which might conceivably result in a complete triple entente between France, England and Russia to the exclusion of Germany, who, in view of her precarious and unstable financial condition, had every reason to hope that her economic needs would have received the first consideration at the hands of her creditors. If the policy outlined by Mr. Lloyd George is successful, now that Enver Pasha has thrown over the Moscow Government in the interest of Muslim Turkestan, there might be a combination between France, England, and Russia against the so-called Muslim danger. It is indeed true that an understanding exists between the Angora Government and France and that this understanding, together with Indian unrest, in some measure, forced Lord Curzon into a revisal of his earlier proposals to Turkey—which were referred to in my first article—but it has been proved that no reliance can be placed upon promises of the present-day opportunist diplomats of Europe. A GEISHA GIRL By ERIC D. WALROND She is a jewel—a poetic treasure. I look at her. She is not black. Nor can I trace her origin, back to Africa or Egypt or Arabia. But—the East—the spottling Orient—is in her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes, her lips, her witch red lips, her walk, her shuffling Japanese walk. My goisha girl! Only one thing I can not solve. Gold, purple, orange—yes, I try them all and not one machet it. The color of her skin! I sit at her feet and listen to the low cadences of her dreamily supernatural voice. On the mantel is a row of sculptured vases—tiny towers of cherry blossoms and poinsettias and water lilies. She recites to me the legends back of these flowers. Tales of love and death and conquest! I shudder. She goes to the mantel and in the dim light the shadow of her beautiful face is imprisoned against the wall. I fasten my plowing eyes on the girl as the darkness envelopes her. Oh, for the power to get up, to go to her, to bring her back to me! As I stare, a marionette, a mocking dewl dancing-out of the fireplace, laughs at my helplessness. Overhead a vision lingers. She smiles back at me. Repulcher-like, she is being taken back, back to the paradise of clouds, a narcissus to her lips, and Baudelaire under her arm. It was understood that not only was the late war intended to abolish war, "making the world safe for democracy," but it was also declared that it would end secret diplomacy. The gang of incorrigible gentlemen, however, who run and run the world, are at their old game again and the old firm is carrying on in the old way with cards up its sleeves and the dice deftly loaded, while the weaker nationalities, mostly black, brown or yellow, are cajoled into being fleeced of their possession. It is a great game! This game of secret diplomacy. Since Russia became Communist, the diplomats of Europe have been shaking in their shoes, because Soviet Russia has spread her propagandist agents over the whole world. In Islamic countries, where it was found by the Soviets that a socialistic Islam did not materially differ from the Communist idea of Russia, converts to the Soviet ideal were numerous. Indian-Hindu and Muslim radicals saw in a regenerated Russia a force which would aid an independent India. Afghanistan, hemmed in as she is by the British Indian Raj, on the one hand and by that of Russia on the other, saw in this new doctrine, which bore some slight resemblance to Islamic polity, a power which might make her mistress of India. Persia, weak with internal political chaos, and emerging, as she was, from Czarist Russian domination with the help of the new Russia, seeing the English hosts of exploitation descending upon her to supplant the departing ruthlessness of an autocratic Russia, gladly seized upon the friendly advances of Moscow. Africa, including Egypt, Morocco and Irapoli, saw in Soviet propaganda her opportunity to detach herself from the European octopus which had outstretched its tentacles over the land, holding its peoples in the stranglehold of serfdom and death.

THAT MOONLIGHT NIGHT I The moon was in all her splendor; Many a heart was full of rancor. The air was indeed refreshing, And the whole town was merry- making— While some indulged in idle talk, I went for a pleasant walk— That moonlight night. II The bird was in her nest; Beast of burden was at rest. The silvery sea, wide and calm, The majestic, slender palm; The clouds above as white as deece— All nature seemed at peace, That moonlight night.

Methought I saw a vision Of an unconquerable black nation, That moonlight night. J. R. RALPH CASIMIR. Dominica, R. W. J. FRENCH ASSAIL THE ARMS TREATIES Deputy Calls Washington Conference "Instrument of War" PARIS, April 3.—The Washington Conference—especially the naval program, it adopted—was the subject of spirited attack in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon during continuation of a debate on the interpollation on the government's foreign policy. Deputy Chappendelaine; speaking for the Left Republican group, said the Washington Conference, instead of being an instrument of peace, had been nothing but an instrument of war. Instead of reducing naval armaments, he declared, the Washington Conference had served only to stabilize the most recent types of warships and had merely scrapped old vessels. Deputy Lacour de Grandmont, from the Right bandes, repeated the criticisms he made last week in affirm that the French deflation went to Washington unprepared, and that British was treated like a second rate Power. He called upon the Chamber to reject the Washington agreements. NEGRO COMPOSERS AND NEGRO MUSIC—IS THERE RACE IN MUSIC? IS THERE RACE IN ART? ```markdown ``` (Part of a chapter of a forthcoming book entitled, "The African in Western Landa." To be published in August, 1922) By WILLIAM H. FERRI8 Author of "The African Abroad." At no period in the Negro's history has he been subjected to so close a scrutiny as at present. During the ante-bellum days, he was regarded with mingled feelings of pity and contempt. From the close of the war to 1885, he was regarded as a mascot and ward of the nation. From 1895 to 1916, he faced a spirit of growing hostility in the North and in the South. In 1916 we entered upon the fourth phase, the age of critical study, observation and dissection of the Negro. The microscope, the magnifying glass and the X-Ray have been turned upon him. He has been poured into the crucible and subjected to the fire and acid test. The analysis has disclosed some favorable and some unfavorable things. Among the favorable things disclosed is that the Negro race has made a real distinct contribution to the world's music. Madame D. Azalia Hackley is writing a book on this same theme. Mr J Rosamond Johnson, of New York, who has attained fame as a musician and composer, and Mrs Maud Cuney Haro, of Boston, who has won an enviable reputation as a musician and musical writer brought to the knowledge of the Chicago public in the winter of 1617 the tributes which the world's masters of song have paid to Negro music. Mr. Johnson in his recital surprised the audience by stating that the motive of "Walk Together, Children," was developed by Antoine Dvorak in "The Symphony to the New World," which is played every year. He also stated that Dvorak said the "Negro melodies were the only original American music, and that the motive "Go Down, Moses" was as strong as the motive in Siegried. Mrs. Hare's talks on the "Influence of Afro-American Folk Song and Musicians" of color were a revelation to the audience in Quinn Chapel. She told of the tributes that Dworak, Percy Hillerger, and Walter Damrosch paid toll Negro music and showed how Granger, Cecilian, Walter Damrosch, Powell Scott, Fisher and Homar have developed Negro themes. She also spoke of the careers of Joseph White, H. T. Burleigh, Will Starron Cook and James Weldon Johnsh. She said that J. Rosamond Johnsh has written songs for Anna Held, William Russell and other operatic stars, and that Beethoven contemplated dedicating one of his masterpiece to Bridgetower, the colored violinist. She said that Beethoven may have had Negro blood coursing in his veins, and that a book in the Royal Library of Berlin describes his grandfather as a mash of brown complexion with heavy Negro features. Mrs. Hare developed the ideas which she had so brilliantly sketched in her article in the Musical Observer for February. She said in her article: "Modern ragtime is supposed to have originated in the South and West, later becoming popular in New York and the country at large. However, according to Ernest Newman, it has been made use of from time immemorial." He gives many examples of its use in works of classical composers. The passage, "How Vain Is Man* in Handel's 'Judas Maccabes'"; Schuman's "Promenade"; Beethoven's Planofare Sonata, Op. 38 (first movement); "Waltz" and Teachalk's fourth and fifth symphonies. One might add the fourth movement of Glayonnoff's Bymphony in B. The old progression of Negro folk songs, including the raised sixth in the minor key, which occurs in "Weeping Mary" and "Ain't I Glad I Got Out of the Wilderness," has been used by no less a composer than Beethoven. But by claiming that there is something in the rythm of the Negro melodies that is basal and fundamental and worthy not only of preservation, but also of cultivation and development, Walt Hare is not defending what she calls "the ordinary songs of today, the called popular songs, written in regal form in execlable rhymes." Mrs. Haro closed her illuminating artiste by referring to the wonderful tribes which Dyrak and Mrs. Kemble paid to. Negro music. Dyrok said: "there is nothing in the whole range of composition that cannot be supplied with themes from this source." But Mrs. Kemble in her "Life on a Georgia Plantation" went a step further, she still, with a little adaption and instrumentation—one or two barbaric mantles and choriated might be syoked from the songs that would make the fortune of an ebera." ored musicians attracted attention Bridgetower, a colored European violinist, was a contemporary and friend of Beethoven. Brindid de Balas, another colored violinist, played before and was decorated by the crowned heads of Europe. Chevalier Bainte George, a man of color was called the Voltaire of equitation, fencing and instrumental music, and was knighted by Louis XVI of France. Abbe Gregoire says of him. Some of his concertos are still held inestimable. His bow and his boil set all Paris in motion. Will Marton Cook and Cole and Johnson have done some clever composing in the lighter vein Dr W E R D Bois has obliquely said "In later days Cole and Johnson, and Williams and Walker lifted minstrelly by sheer force of gonius into the beginnings of a new Drama. The next step will undoubtedly be the slow growth of a new folk drama built around the actual experience of Negro Amrican life." Is There Race in Music? But, we must not let this talk about developing Negro music, Negro drama and Negro art draw us too far afield. There is something in art that makes a universal appeal to the human mind, and we may well ask the questions, "Is there race in music?" "Is there race in art?" Have not Americans, colored and white, crowded the Boston Theatre, in Boston, Mass. to hear Wagner's Trilogy, "Lohengrin' Tannhauser," and "Tristan and Isolde." Goundn's "Faust" and "Romeo and Juliet," and Vendt's "Aida" which were the production of German, French and Italian composers? And did not a colored chorus in Boston under the direction of Prof Theo. Drury creditably render Verdi's "Aida" in 1907 and "Faust" in 1908? Did not the same Prof Drury stage "Carmen" in New York in 1907? Is it not true of great music, as of great poetry, great painting, great sculpture and great architecture, that it makes a fundamental appeal to the soul of man, and that this accounts for the universality of Homer, who has sent his name down the ages for twenty-five centuries so that he has appealed to lovers of poetry of all races? Is it not the fact that Shakespeare's poetry appeals to Germans, Frenohmen, Jews, Italians and Negroes, as well as to Englishmen, that stamps him as the world's greatest poet? The great musician, poet, dramatist, painter, sculptor and architect gets his inspiration at first from the native soil and makes his first appeals to men of his own race, as did Robert Burns. But, if he is to live in literature, art or music, there must be something about his poetry, art or music that makes a universal appeal to the human heart, as Burns did in his "The Cotter's Saturday Night" and "A 'Man a man for A 'That.' and Handel in his 'Hallolujah Chorus.'" The Negro in slavery, untutored as he was, could only pour forth the longings of his soul in simple melodies. Must we say then that Negro musicians trained under German, French or Italian masters cannot produce masterpieces? May we not hope that other men of Negro blood will do in music, poetry and drama what Pushkin did in poetry, what Dumas did in fiction, what Tanner did in art, and what Coloridge-Taylor did in music? We further hope that within the next twenty-five years a colored dramatist will arise in America who will so interpret the Negro's experiences that he will make an appeal not only to men of his race, but to the world at large; not only to men of his own day and generation, but to men of all time. The world of literature, art and music knows no color line. William Stanley Braithwaite of Boston became an authority upon magazine verse by his sympathetic interpretation and criticism of current poetry in America. Genius will ultimately win recognition, even though it shines through a dark complexion. Let the ebony-hued painter paint a picture that the world wants to see. Let the ebony-hued poet sing a song that the world wants to hear, and let the ebony-hued musician by his rhythmic cadences, in the striking words of Carlyle, "Lead us to the end of the infinite and let us for moments gaze upon it," and mankind will forget the color, hair and features of the genius who lifted it to the Mount of Transfiguration. Now, to the tolling, struggling, striving colored artist, poet and musician, I would say, "Light the torch of your inspiration upon the heights of Mt. Parnassus," and through you the world soul will speak a message to all mankind. HOME I know a place that is full of light That is full of dreams and vlorsht roam Where pleasing fancy loves to roam And picture me once more at home. There nothing comes to mar my days And dim for me the sun's loved rays To shake my faith in things divine And have the cruelty of mankind. Ah that I to that spot night die That peace and love may dwell with me To brush away the somber shards And show the lining of the clouds. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 WEEKLY SERMON By G EMONEI CARTER Subject I Would Like to Be a Tug." Text 2nd Kings, 23 and 27 verses That I may run to the man of God, and come again. And Gehaal came to thrust her away but the man of God said. Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her." Humanity is hemmed in by so man, influences, until it requires a strong dynamic power to successfully out its way free from its damaging moorings. This is a condition that is not new, but has existed since man came into being. But one thing is counseling in the ex- treme—there has always been those to whom we could go and find the desired help, when we were burdened de- pressed and careworn. With this thought in mind my eyes fell upon the above subject and I am using it to convey a simple, yet pertinent truth When the British scientist, Thomas Hurley, visited America many years ago, he looked out from his ship on New York Harbor and noticed a number of little tugs pushing their way amidst the ice of the harbor, pulling great ships after them and he said to one standing, near him. If I were not a man I would like to be a tug Now this is just what a great many of people are. They are undaunted tugs, with a great heart, just as a tug has a great engine. They are busy moving the loads of life through the narrowes of selfishness and distrust on to the sea of altruism and confidence, they are constantly removing the strains of nervousness by plodding through the channels of depression on to the mean of delight. There are the "Nepenthes" of the world, upon the large waters of life, bringing joy and gladness. Oh, the joy in being a tug. Oh, the gladness in doing in a little way the big things. Oh, the happiness that comes through moving, in a concerted way, when a large project is to be put over by the fow or oven the individual. But this few or individual must have the power of the engine in the tug, which moves the great vessel in shallow waters or iceed seas. 1. "As tugs, it is our good pleasure to be ministers of joy." On every hand we find men and women bewailing their lot and cursing their sad fate. But why this despairing cry, why this awful wall? It is because they have not understood their real purpose for being. They have not comprehended the use of the "tug" in the great maritime affairs of life, nor have they understood the fulness of their opportunity to express life in its better form through tugging others. For we are always more fortunate than some less fortunate follow. Joy is to be passed on. It is not made to keep in narrow confines, but it is contagious and spreads like wildfire when once communicated. Get busy and do your share in moving the gloom of life. The world wants your value equated in terms of love rather than hate. The world demands much of you. What are you giving to satisfy the demands? The loads have got to be moved your tug must be put in readiness to help in the moving. I know where there is stagnation in the commercial places. Let me pilot you to this busy spot, that you might help in bringing things to pass. With this thought in mind we come to the next thought in our subject. 11. "The reach is a long one." Therefore there must be organized effort rather than individual expenditure of energy. In the church there is obtained greater results, through united efforts, than through single efforts. In truth it is this which gave rise to the church, and has enabled it to help in making the ills of humanity the less. In the nations of earth, concerted action has counted. In the rise of the peoples of earth there must also be untidy organized efforts. No race can rightfully take its place in the affairs of the world without tugging its way through seas and oppression, prejudice and exorcism on to the land of optimism, freedom and peace. The Universal Negro Improvement Association gives an excellent opportunity to prove the value of your "tug." There are many large vessels indexed with all kinds of goods, waiting to be helped to larger fields of usefulness. Their cargoes are valuable; but their engines cannot be used in their present situation, we must have the little tug with a strong engine to pull the vessel. I am saying the reach is too long and great for one organisation to do its most effective works unless it is a universal idea. And even then we are not foolish enough to believe that only the work to be done must and can be done alone by us. There is a place for your tug, our tug, every tug. Just enjoy, that all. Just open up your energies in the right direction and under the leadership of Christ move the load. This, when you are engaged as a tutor, you shall find joy in the task, pleasure in the doing and contentment in moving the many tasks through your small effort, finished up by supported and united. People Talked About A BIT OF OUR HARLEM BY FORENS MALE HURTATION He came into the shop with a pitifully small amount of cheap candy to sell. The men griffly refused to buy or even to look at the wares, and he shuffled toward the door with such a furious air that the young lady called him back. She was smiling partly because she liked to smile, and did so whenever fate gave her a chance, and partly to put the tattered little hunch-back at his case. The boy approached the table where the girl sat with the air of a homeless dog who hopes that he had found a friend. "Let me see your candy, little boy!" She toyed with the paper-wrapped packages for a while. She knew that she would buy one even though she had but fifteen cents in her pocket-book and a very vague notion as to where her next week's rent would come from. The hunched-back boy looked too dejected to turn away, however. She handed him a pickel. Thank yuh ma'am," said the boy "You certainly is a nice lady. You aint mean lak some folks." Thany you," rejoined the girl, "and where do you live?" I lives down in Fifty-third street My mama, she dead when I was a baby an my fadder too, he dead Who takes care of you? My grandma, an' she taught me 'Lawd's prayer an' I goes tuk Sun day school when I got shoes. See this coat! Aint it nice? A lady give it to me! It is a pretty coat," agreed the young woman, "and do you belong to the church yet? 'Naw, not yet, but I guess I will some day. A lady that used to live wid us she got religion, but after a while her sins come back on her. Do you know my teacher? 'No, I don't. What does she teach you?' She, she teach me how to read and count a hundred, but I forgot what comes after 97. Do you know? Let's see, 95, 96—gce, I can't learn that. 'Of course! "laughed the girl, 98 99, 100. What also does she teach you?' "She say when I go to Heben I be white as snow an' the angels goin' to take this lump out of my back an' make me tall. I guess maybe they roll something over my back like dat machine, what dy rolls out the street wid." The girl folt very much like laughing at this original idea but asoing his serious face she resisted and asked him very kindly how old he was. "Let's see," answered the boy "Gran'ma she say I'm fifteen, teacher she say I'm sixteen. I guess my sixteen cause once, long time ago, I wuz fifteen before." The young lady exhibited signs of flagging interest and asked no more questions but the boy showed no inclination to go. His eyes never left her face and at last he asked, "Where is yo' mama and papa?" "Both dead." "Who takes keer of you, then?" "Why, I do, myself." "Nobody buys you nothin' to eat, noither?" "No." The hunch-back looked pitying at the girl. a himself, at the floor and at last said in a voice full of pity. "I guess maybe I can put on some long pants an' marry you an' then I'll buy you something to eat." The girl would have laughed but the world of sympathy, understanding and fellowship that showed in the boys face and choked his voice, restrained her. How often had she sought that same Dr Godfrey Nurse is building up a splendid practice in Harlem as a physician, and he is working overtime because of the great number of cases of sickness there. Dr. Nurse is sympathetic, faithful and efficient. He is well liked by his patients and the public generally because of his courtesy and democratic nature. He has a big future ahead of him, and destiny has marked him as one of the leading physicians of Harlem. Rudolph Smith, whose fog-horn voice could be heard six blocks away in Harlem two or three years ago when he was a soap-box orator, has since his connection with the Universal Negro Improvement Association developed a style of oratory that gives promise of his becoming one of the leading spellbinders of the association. Smith is a great reader of the current literature of the day and keeps himself well posted or what is transpiring throughout the world. His speeches are well phrased, and his ideas are practical. He is a comer, and the organization is fortunate in having on its list of speakers such an earnest spokesman. Go at 'em, Rudolph. That young man, Marquis Garvey, is also making wonderful progress in the field oratorical. Four years ago he too was a soap boxer or sten ladder artist, and could throw his voice around three corners without batting an eyelash and the people would come rushing as they now do, to bear him. He always has something sensible, serious and practical to say, and the people bear him gladly, for he strikes out. from the shoulder and when he has delivered the blow the people begin to think. No man of the fade in amateurs or outside of it has made the Neuro think more intensively and practically than Marquis Garvey. He is the wonder of the twentieth century. Dr. 3. W. H. Cassin, the American leader, is a natural writer. Words flow from him like water, and he can make JAMES W. JOHNSON VERSUS JOHN E. BRUCE ON AMERICAN NEGRO MUSIC Critic of New York Tribune Refutes Points of Historical Fact in Mr. Johnson's "Book of American Negro Poetry"—Quotes From Lecture Delivered Six Years Ago by President of Negro Historical Society to Substantiate Position on "Spiritual" Controversy By H E. KREMBIEL In timely conjunction with a concert of music composed and performed by American Negroes which is to be given in Carnegie Hall tomorrow evening there has just appeared from the press of Harcourt Brace & Co an anthology entitled The Book of American Negro Poetry. Its editor is James Weidon Johnson who not only contributes a number of poems, but prefaces the collection with an essay on the Negro's creative genius. Mr Johnson calls the people of whom he writes Afro Americans. We have repeatedly spoken of them in this journal and also in a book on the subject of the folklore of the one time black slaves of this country as Afro Americans but have no disposition to quarrel with Mr Johnson touching the relative propriety or accuracy of the terms for such discussion is not within our province. What concerns us just now is some of the comment in the book on the music of the American Negroes music like that which we fancy will be heard at the concert tomorrow evening. In this comment there is much discussion of the vulgar mime which has taken possession of the vaudeville stage and the dance hula and a strenuous effort made to prove that it originated with black musicians. We should prefer to continue to think that it is a degraded form of music whose essential elements, especially the rhythms, were of African origin. So eager is Mr Johnson to claim most of it as the product of his people that he does not hesitate to admit that the first examples of it came from houses whose character is not a fit subject for description, but where the musicians were Negroes. He does scant justice to the "apituals of the black slaves of the South in which the unperturbed elements, rhythmical and intervallic may be found and the artistically effective use of those elements in the minstrel songs of the Stephen C. Foster period, which antedated what are now called "rag-time" songs by at least a generation. All this for the purpose of crediting the Negro of today with the composition of the first understanding fellowship within her own class, but how sellom had she found it" "Well lady, I'm going now cause I got to make a fire in the stove for grandma. But I come back again some time cause you use a nice lady. Maybe I bring you some Easter sandy if I have some nickels—that's the day the Jews nailed Jesus in a box and put rocks on it, but he got out—ask the Bible he knows." vulnerable with laughter by his inimitable wit and humor. Eisen is a valuable asset to the organization, a hard hitter, and a hard worker Ferris. There is only one Ferris, and his initials are W H. There is no doubt or question as to the quality of his mental equipment. He ought to be the husband of some good woman, and we hope some of the fair sex will propose to him, for he hasn't the personal courage to do it himself. We think that if Ferris had a wife of the right mental caliber, who would sympathize with and encourage him in his literary puruula, he would become one of the greatest literary gentuuses of our times. He is as full of brains as an egg is of meat, and if he was awakened at midnight and asked to make a speech he could make one that would shake the rafters and make the stars twinkle. Ladies, got after this old bachelor editor and make him say yes, and do it now! Time is precious, and he must be saved to the race. Why are printers such reckless handlers of the truth? We are going to ask a certain 136th street disciple of Caxton and Gutenberg to answer this query for us. We won't call his name just now as we want him to keep his membership in his church. Dr. J. E. K. Agroy, the noted African scholar and traveler, is doing good work in this city by his learned addresses on Africa, and making men and women who listen to the witchery of oratory change their viewpoints on Africa and the Africans. His last address before the Y. M. C. A. in this city was an eye-opener, as he showed that Africa is to become the home of the Africans without the firing of a gun or the shedding of a drop of blood. It is so written in the Book and it will take place in God's way and in God's time and not one lot or little of God's word shall pass away. Wd believe what the Book says, and we believe that (Goffinhead on page 9) songs of this character which won popularity on the stage. For him 'rag-time began its career at the World's Fair in Chicago and became widely known when Miss May Irwin began to sing 'The Bully in New York. This song he says, was a leave song which long had been used by roustabouts along the Mississippi.' And he claims that 'That'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight' had a similar origin, though, if we are not mistaken, we shook hands with the composer of that song in Schubert's music shop in Union Square when it was at the height of its popularity, and heard from him the story of how he had never been compensated for it. In this manner he bridges over a long period from the time when Tragtime music was originated by colored piano players in the questionable resorts of St. Louis, Memphis and other Mississippi river towns to the day when he and his brother J. Rosamond Johnson made a song called 'Oh Didn't He flamish out of a fugitive nigro tune for the New York stage. We fancy that characteristic Negro song anticipated the first period by many years and that much of it came from the minds of white men between it and the second period. Concerning one of the types of vulgar song we are willing to let Mr Johnson have his The "Memping Blues" and Music of Its Kind The reader might be curious to know if the jen grew songs have cealed to grow. So they have not, they are growing all the time. The country has lately been flooded with several varieties of The Blues. These Blues, too had their origin in Memphis and the towns along the Mississippi. They are a sort of lament of a lover who is feeling blue over the loss of his sweet-heart. The Blues of Memphis have been adulterated so much on Broadway that they have lost their pristine hue. But whenever you hear a piece of music which has a strain like this in it (there then is an illustration) you will know that you are listening to something which belonged originally to Beale avenue. Memphis, Tennessee. The original Memphis Blues, so far as it can be credited to a computer must be credited to Mr W C Handy a colored musician of Memphis. A young white musician who hails from the South told us that 'The Memphis Blues' came from a bawdy house in that city and we think he told the truth. It is a matter of indifference to us. But we regret that in a book which proves that there has been a really beautiful flowering of the poetic spirit among educated Negroes in America Mr Johnson should feel called upon to break a lance in favor of the vulgar type of music all but ignore the beautiful spirituals and by omission of all reference to the matter confess his ignorance of what Negro composers wrote and published in America long before his excellent brother, J. Rosamond Johnson and the equally excellent Bunthill Cook and Hatt. in say nothing of Mr Europe were born Negro Composers of the Past Some six years ago Mr John E. Bruce president of the Negro Historical Society of this city delivered an address before the Music School Settlement for Colored People in which the history of Afro-American musicians was traced back for more than a century. He told of James Hemmenway of Philadelphia, whose song, "That Rest So sweet. Like Bless Above," was published in the musical Journal, "Atkinson's Casket," in October, 1829 and who composed "The Philadelphia Grand Entree March," "Washington Grays Grand March," "Bugle Quick Step" and "Hunter and Hop waitzus. He also related the story of Frank Johnson, of Philadelphia, who took his band to England, played before royalty and nobility and received the gift of a silver bugle from Queen Victoria which was buried with him in 1846. He was in his day what Sousa is in ours, said Mr Bruce, and scores of his pieces for military band were published. Other Negro musicians who composed and published voluminously were A. J. H. Connor (1846), Robert Murray, of Baltimore (1800); T. W. Postelmur, of St. Louis; Isaac Hazard, of Philadelphia (who made money enough to publish his own compositions); Andrew Durris and W. H. Davia, also of Philadelphia. Thomas Green Bathuna, otherwise "Blind Tom," who lives in our recollection, was not only a planoforte virtuoso but the composer of about one hundred places for the planoforte. Justin Holland wrote and arranged a great deal of music for the guitar, and H. S. Brainard's Sons (to whose journal we contributed some forty-five years ago) published his "Modern Method for the Guitar." Many more names are mentioned by Mr. Bruces—J William Brady, of New York; Jacob Sawyer, John T. Douglass, Lucien and Sidney Lambert, of New Orleans/ Edmund Dade, H. T. Williams, F. B. Lewis, W. F. Craig, before he reaches the man of today whom we have mentioned. An interesting story about a song which has not yet lost its popularity deserves AMCAN NEGRO MUSIC I Fact in Mr. Johnson's "Book he Delivered Six Years Ago by titate Position on "Spiritual" telling We give it in Mr Bruce's words The Author of "Listen to the Mocking Bird" "The story of Listen to the Mocking Bird" is interesting. A little over fifty years ago there lived in the city of Philadelphia a Negro street minstrel, one George Milburn, who was an expert whistler and performer on the guitar. Some of the air he whistled had never been transferred to paper by any composer of music. He made his own tunes, and his skill as a warbler and guitarist commanded the admiration of his audiences and compelled liberal tips. Listen to the Mocking Bird was one of these catchy tunes. Septimus Winner, the famous song writer had heard of this Negro, and one day he appeared in the street where Winner lived and gave one of his open air concerts. Included in his repertoire was 'Listen to the Mocking Bird'. When the concert was over and a collection had been taken, Milburn played another air as a thank offering and was about to go to another playing corner. But Mr Winner, who had been one of his audience, approached him and invited him to his house, where he complimented him on his clever manipulation of the writer and as a whistler. He asked Milburn to whistle the Mocking Bird, which he did and while the Negro was whistling Winner wrote down the notes hastily. Some time after this incident he wrote the words of the song as we know it. This he sold for $5 to Lee & Walker of Philadelphia, who were then the leading music publishers. The song was published in ballad form and became immensely popular. It was sung all over the country, whistled on the streets and played by bands and it is just as popular today as it was when first introduced. Lee & Walker realized over $100,000 from its sale. George Milburn received from Septimus Winner twenty copies of the song as his share of the profits. Winner never received anything beyond the original $5 which he got for his manuscript except the credit of being the author of the song, which of course, was not true. He wrote the music and the words, but the melody was born in the brain of that Negro. George Milburn — The New York Tribune Here is an essay on Henry VIII, written by a student in an English college in South Africa, which shows what a great part is played by imag- ination when the young idea is taught how to shoot. It is worth quoting in full it is delicous reading. Here it is: Henry VIII was the greatest wilder over lived. He was born at Anno Domini in the year 1066. He had 510 wives besides women and children. The first was beheaded and afterwards executed. The second was rovoked—she never smiled again. The greatest man in his reign was Lord Wolsey. He was called the "Boy Bachelor," being at the age of 15 unmarried. Had he served his wife as diligently as he served the king, she would not have deprived him of his grey hairs. Henry VIII quarreled with Lord Wolsey because he courted Anne Boyleyn. He also quarreled with the Pope because he called him "Fide the Offensive," "Dandy Lion" and other unpleasant appetites. He also quarreled with the monasteries. He pulled down barns and built greater, and the last state of that man was worse than the first. He died on the "Field of Cloth of Gold," his horse trod on a cinder and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. In this reign the Bible was translated in Latin by Titus Oates, who was ordered by the King to be chained up in church. It was in this reign also that the Duke of Wellington discovered America had invented the curfew bells to prevent fires in the theaters. There was also a great fire in London, called the "Black Death," and after the fire came the earthquake, and after the earthquake a still, small voice! Henry VIII was succeeded by his great-grand-mother, the beautiful and accomplished Mary Queen of Scots, sometimes called the "Lady of the Lake" or the "Lay of the Last Minstrels." Come to me my little lamb Virgin black of land of Ham Like a lambkin gone astray From thy native fold away. We are far from African shore That our blood makes us adora In thine eye is Nubile's blaze; Caroless thine, like Egypt's ways. Blessed Jasmin made us black; Some day He may take us back Where the palms are sighting now To chests our absent brow. They have robbed us of the Nile; But it flows back on the smile Be my contempt their alone Thought we never reach its great Id each other let us find Tropic lands we left behind! THELLE DUNLAND ```markdown ``` A NEW VERSION By BRUCE GRIT NATIVE LOVE --- MUSIC "Book go by virtual" --- LIBERTY HALL CONTINUES DRAWING LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE AT SUNDAY NIGHT JEFFRY HALL, NEW YORK April 2, 1822—The big attendance at Liberty Hall tonight and the enthusiasm of the people present would never lead anyone to believe that the President-General and the majority of the members of the Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are out of town, scattered in different parts of the country, engaged in a nation-wide membership drive in the interests of the association. Mr G E Carter, the assistant to the President-General, and Mr U B Boston, Minister of Industry and Labor, conducted matters in a most creditable manner. The musical program also was of the same high character as hitherto, the artists participating giving the best of their talent as when the President-General is present There were but three speeches delivered to night. These were very timely and aroused much enthusiasm. Mr Ponton was the first speaker and spoke entertainingly and reflectingly on the meaning of the word 'decision'. He referred to the principal decisive battles in the world a history showed what they meant and result in, and pointed out that as in the life of nations, so in the life of races and individuals there are times requiring decisions that are on the greatest importance to that individual or that race The U. S. A. he said at present under the leadership of the Hon Marus Garie, is engaged in a decisive fight, which a verdict must be rendered and this fight is to determine whether the negroes of the world are to continue to remain in the lowlands of serfdom and peonage or whether they are to be exiled to the high pinnacles of exalted manhood and I appeal to you to mobilize every ounce of your reserve and your resources and thrust them forward as a unit against the common enemy. Mr Prince L. Edwoods, vice-principal of the Manassas Industrial School of Manassas Va., was the second speaker. Mr Edwoods is in New York at the present time in the interests of his school, which is conducting a dance throughout the county for fund-raising with which to carry the great work. He is doing along educational areas for the colored people of the South allied to the difficulties in the pathways here and elsewhere of colored people in gaining employment in big public audit companies and big cante houses, despite the fact the poses the required ability and other qualifications. That we were handicapped because of the color of our skin was not to be cented, and, as an illustration, mentioned the late Harry Willis, who, he said, had not been for his color, would have been acclaimed the greatest comedian of modern times. He mentioned other great men of the race, both past and present from whose lives much inspiration could be gained by every colored man and woman among these being Toussaint I Overture Booker T. Washington Frederick Douglas, Colonel Young and Marcus Garvey. He even referred to Harry Willis, who noted heavy weight fighter who he declared is modest kind and philanthropic a man who is willing to contribute of his talents to the cause of the education of colored youth. Mr. Edwards placed greatest stress on the need of skilled people participating in their own enterprises as the true solution of our industrial troubles and difficulties. He was glad to see the man, it is being opened by the N.A. in an allied town, would be so well trained that in a short time he would be a demeanor or more N.A. grocery stores, restaurants and so on. The attribution to the President Mr. Carter following the lifting of the offering was the last speaker. His address was in the nature of a sermon on Freedom Through Truth" his text being "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." There must be an individual expression of truth he said if the truth is to be made better. A man or woman who stands for the truth is compelled to make somebody angry to create enemies which is true in the life of or in relation to the life of an individual "Truth" he continues has had to fight its battles handed and over man who came upon the stage of time and played his part, has had to search the earth for truth, that liberty might come to those in whose freedom he is interested." no race. Mr. Carter declared, can rise to heights of greatness unless it knows its weaknesses and its faults. He therupon pointed out some of the weaknesses of the Negro race, the greatest of which, he believed, is mutual distrust of one another. "We are not willing to believe that any man of color can start anything that is worth while. We have been taught for generation to believe that all the great things of life have been started by white people." But the Negro, he continued, has a history of which we should feel proud, and since truth will have a bearing this history will ultimately become known to every colored man and woman, and it will serve as an inspiration to accomplish still greater achievements. In conclusion, Mr. Carter said that if colored people the world over can be brought to see the empowerment of the idea of the Univeral Negro Improvement Association, as set forth in his principles of truth and rightness, "we will not have lived in vain. Then when truth is unheard into its fullness, when truth shall stand resplendent before the millions of the world, black men and black women will understand that the man who made it possible for the U. N. E. A. to come into existence. struggled these long years not in vain, struggles not alone that the truth might be obtained." At the conclusion of the speech-making some announcements were made by the Director of Publicity, Mr Plummer. Another U. N. L. A. grocery store will open this week, located at Lenox avenues, also another restaurant will be opened next Thursday at 60 West 123rd street, where the old Lincoln Theatre formerly stood. This restaurant will serve the home cooking. On Easter Sunday afternoon a special musical concert will be given by the Black Star Line Band, under the leader, Prof. Ike, with the assistance of Professor Woodward and a chorus of forty voices. On Tuesday evening of this week another stereoception lecture will be given by Mr Taylor, on the subject "China," and on Monday night (tomorrow evening) a special moving picture exhibition will be given under the auspices of Kirkman & Sona, one of the largest soap manufacturers in this country, on "How Soap Is Made." This will be an educational moving picture, and doubtless will prove of great interest to every one who attends. Beginning April 17 and extending to the 21th inclusive, a fair and lawn float will be given in Liberty Hall. On Easter Sunday the President-General will return to the city to address the members. He will remain over till Monday night to open the fair Booths will be erected throughout the hall, and preparations are afoot to make the affair attractive and interesting from every angle as well as one profitable financially to the association. Further particulars concerning the fair will be given later. Hon. U. S. Poston was the first speaker and spoke as follows Mr. Chairman, Officers and Members of the New York Local, Ladies and Gentlemen—it is always a source of pleasure as well as inspiration to me to speak to a Sunday evening audience in Liberty Hall. The splendid spirit of contradiction that always permeates a Liberty Hall audience places me at an advantage, but when I look around and see so many of the executive officers absent even with that splendid spirit of fellowship that you give me I feel somewhat lonely. "Decision" The few minutes allotted to me I am going to speak briefly from the subject. Decision I like the crisp, clean cut, unweavering uncompromising idea conveyed by the word decision. It expresses something completed. It expresses a position, a stand. This word has decided the fate and the destinies of many individuals, races and nations, some have achieved because they make a proper decision at the proper time. Some have failed or some have been cast into oblivion because they made a wrong decision at the wrong time. Study the biographies of the world's greatest men and women and you will find those whose names and portraits are recorded in the halls of fame to be men and women who were possessed with decisive minds. At one time in the lives of those individuals they made a decision—they took a stand—and because of that decision and because of that stand they achieved, and tonight we revere or cherish the reminiscences of championships or titles or pugilistic destinies at stake, and because of such usually the attendance at such bouts is large, and the sale receipts are large, because people are conscious of the fact that there is going to be presented a decision or a verdict. The participants who are engaged in the bout are usually cognizant of the significance surrounding the bout, and they usually engage themselves in a long process of training. They regulate their diets, they increase their breathing capacity. They do so because they are conscious of the fact that fitness is the element that counts in decision bouts. On the contrary, in no decision bouts usually there are no titles, championships or pugilistic destinies at stake; usually the attendance is small, the participants in such a bout are oftentimes careless in their preparation, because they have little to gain in such a bout; usually the men are irregular in their diets and in their habits of living, and when they enter the ring they usually stall and they do not give their best, because there is not to be rendered a decision or a verdict. A few weeks ago Harry Wills fought Kid Norfolk in a decision fight. Both men entered into preparation fully cognait of the significance surrounding that fight. The victor in that fight was to be in line for a fight with Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion of the world, and in the event he defeated Dempsey thousands of dollars would go into his coffers; and because of that Harry Wills entered into strenuous training, and one sport writer at the ring that night stated that he had never seen a more perfect specimen of physical fitness than Harry Wills; he was one solid compact of muscles free from surplus fat, and that he blended symmetrically from his head to his feet: he was possessed with a splendid fighting morale. Kid Norfolk, his opponent, was embalmed because of the splendid condition of Wills and entered the ring pursuant to he was disposed, with the morale and after one round and a half of fighting, with a short upper arm to the chin. Harry Wills knocked out Norfolk, Fana was pleaded, the newspapers raised the name of Harry Wills throughout the world, he was respected as a godflier because he finished his man, and now Harry Wills is respected as a fighter and is one of THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 President-General and Majority of Executive Council in Other Fields Engaged in Nationwide Drive for Membership in U.

NEGRO WORLD the most talked-of pugilists in the world today. Seven Decisive Battles of History History records at least seven decisive battles, of which I shall name a few. The battle of Saratoga, the battle of Gettysburg, the battle of Marathon, the battle of Hastings and the battle of Waterloo. These battles were called decisive battles because they decided the outcome of certain countries. They were also called decisive battles because they decided the future economic, social and political destiny of the nations engaged in battle. The battle of Saratoga decided the outcome of the Revolutionary War. It decided whether the American colonies were to continue under the iron yoke of British oppression or whether they were to live as freemen. The Colonial army entered upon the battle of Saratoga fully conscious of the significance surrounding that battle. They mobilized every ounce of their reserve and resource and thrust out as a unit against the British army, which resulted in victory for the Colonies. The British were forced to retreat to Norfolk, their armies retreated from the United States and they surrendered to General Washington at Yorktown. The result of that battle is the present United States of America—a republic that hides fair to rival any republic in the world. The battle of Gettysburg to determine whether to determine whether to be divided into sovereign States. The great civil war continued for at least four years when those two great armies—the Union army and the rebel army—met upon the battleplains of Gettysburg to decide the future destiny of America, father fought against son, brother against brother, and after a strenuous battle the Union army won the victory which resulted in the continuation of the United States of America as a unit. The battle of Marathon was fought to determine whether Persian or Grecian civilization should predominate. The Greek soldiers entered the battle of Marathon fully cognizant of the significance surrounding the battle, and because of that they fought with that spirit. Greek civilization dominated over Persian civilization. Had they not fought with a consciousness of the significance of that battle, probably civilization today would not have been benefactors of the Grecian type of civilization. If the Persianian had defeated the Greeks, probably we would not have been blessed with the Grecian type of civilization in the form of art, literature, architecture, the drama, the tragedy and the melodrama, we would not have been the benefactors of the Golden Age of Greece. The battle of Waterloo was fought to determine whether French civilization should rule over British civilization. Upon the battle-plains of Waterloo the Duke of Wellington met the mighty Napoleon—Napoleon, the one man who had shaken the foundations of civilization—Napoleon, the one man who had ravished and exploited the world—Napoleon, who had an army that considered itself immune to defeat. That army and that leader met the Duke of Wellington on the battle-plains of Waterloo. Suppose the British troops had entered upon this battle unconscious of the significance that surrounded that battle. If they had, Great Britain would have been the underline of social and economic leadership of the Duke of Wellington the British army mobilized their reserves and their resources and the mighty Napoleon was defeated, and the outcome of that battle gave Britain her present political, social and economic status—one that excels in the world today. At one time in the history of mankind the world was thrown into darkness because of the sin of man, and when the challenge was sent out from Heaven as to who should descend from Heaven and pay the supreme sacrifice in order that mankind should be saved, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, made the decision. He decided to descend from Heaven and incarnate Himself in the form of clay and pay the supreme sacrifice upon the cross of Calvary that mankind might he saved, and in doing it He made a decision. He took a stand for righteousness and, in time, during His thirty years on earth did He waver. Did He compromise? He stuck to his program and, because of that decision and because of His stand for moral righteousness, Christ instituted a Christian program which stands as a monument for Christ's decision and Christ a stand. U. N. I. A. Engaged in Decisive Fight I have quoted you to note that bit of history in order to impress you with this fact: The Universal Negro Improvement, Association, under the gallant leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey, is engaged in a fight. We are engaged in a decisive fight, and there must be rendered a verdict—a decision. This fight is to determine whether the Negroes of the world are to continue to furl in the realms of serfdom and peasantry or whether they are to be assigned to the high planches of enslaved runaways, and I. W. Wendon, if your communities are to be unified in their purposes this fight. If you are you would mobilize ounces of your reserve and your resources and thrust them as a unit, against the common enemy of this movement. We must discontinue, blocking; we should not let petty feasts and insular provincial predicts enter into our lives during this fight. Details cease to be trifles when they threaten the mainspring; a snapped nut here and a loose bolt there will oftentimes affect the organism of a machine if they are not attended to. Mobilize Your Reserves and Resources My considering remarks will be a ratification of what I have said—that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is engaged in a fight—a decisive light, and my urgent appeal to you is to mobilize every ounce of your reserve and your resources and thrust them as a light against the common enemy. (Applause.) VICE-PRINCIPAL OP MANAG8A8 SCONDOL SPEAK8 Mr. Prince, Ed. Edwards, vice-principal of Manassas Industrial School, Manassas, Va., updating introduced, spoke in part as follows: Mr. Chaffrey, Members of the High Executive Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: A few months ago I sat in the State Employment Bureau on West 125th street, and watched the crowds pass by. I know that in a few weeks the bureau would be closed down, and that our race would have nobody to represent their interests in the industrial line. As I watched the different individuals pass by the bureau it occurred to me that we owe a great duty to our children for I remember the sad stories of individuals who had come in search of work. One woman came to us on one occasion, whose husband was slick in bed and didn't even have a suit of clothes; their children were in dire need, and this poor woman wanted anything that she could get to do. We sent her to a while family (which probably came from the South), and they reported back very unfavorably with regard to this woman. We investigated, and later we learned that after sending twenty-one different individuals, nobody was able to suit. It has been kind, good fortune, my friends, to run shoulders, with people in every walk of life, with the man who titles the sort, the man who works, all day on the street, and the woman, who works over somebody's waffle or, in someone's kitchen, and I have found not Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 6 Discussing ways and means of fostering and protecting independent Negro nationalities in Africa and elsewhere. 8 Discussing the future religious faith and belief the Negro. 10 Discussing ways and means of better steamship communication between the Negro people of the world and the expansion of the Black Star Line. a bit of difference between the poorest laborer and the highest individual of our race or of any other race. We must bear in mind as we go along that all of the faults that the white man has, one of the worst is he will not let you work in the United Cigar Store on 135th street, for example, but he will take every penny you will spend over his counter. You will recall how we tried to get colored women in the employ of the telephone company and the agitation we made in that connection; you will recall those bitter articles that appeared in the Globe and in other papers, but regardless of the beauty and of the culture and of the fine and high ideals which our women treasure and possess we have yet to get a colored woman whom they know is colored with the telephone company. --- lar condition of attire, with regard to the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, which refused to employ colored men excepting to act as porters in the subway and, on the elevated stations, Continuing, he said: Bert Williams' Death Lamented Several days ago I stood at the bier of Bar. Williams, and gaced upon his cold face. I thought of all the hearts that he had made happy; of all the people he had lifted out of their misery, and it seemed to me a tragedy that a man of his ability should have to pass away at such a young age. Hindered by the bridge of color he was prevented from being the greatest comedian that this country, or any other country, has produced. Not only Bert Williams, but other members of our race, as for example young noble President-General, Toussaint L'Overture, Booker T. Washington, Colonel Young, are men who struggled and succeeded despite all obstacles. We can get a great deal of concession and inspiration if we will but read the lives of those of our race who have won success. Taking interest in Race's Heroes Unfortunately for us, we do not take enough interest in Negro heroes; in those men who have, by their individual efforts, won fame and distinction in their respective walks in life. Mr. Edwoods here said that Harry Wills, the colored pupil, already referred to by the proceeding speaker, he had met in the prize-fighter's home in this city, and that he found him to be modest, kind, considerate and philanthropically inclined. As an evidence of his philanthropy, Mr. Wills has promised to volunteer his services at a Monster Benefit to be given for the benefit of the Manassas Industrial School in the near future in Washington, D. C. "Don't you think," asked Mr. Edwoods, "that that is a noble thing for a man in Mr. Wills' profession to do, to see the need of and be willing to contribute to the education of the colored youth of our land? It is a grand thing to see how a man like Mr. Wills could rise as he has; how we can produce a man in his profession who would be so broad-sighted?" Another characteristic of Mr. Wills that Mr. Edwoods spoke of in most commendable terms, was that "above all other things he (Mr. Willi) loves; his wife, and stays at home." (Applauded.) U. N. I. A. Trying to Help Give the Race a Chance "We as a race are kept in a group, and, if I am not mistaken, one of the things that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to do, is to tear down the walls of that group and give a colored man a man's chance." (Applauded). But to succeed in this, said Mr. Edwoods, they must be harmony among us. There is too much blockering among colored people, which is like the little boy with the top, who said: "My top is better than your top." "We forget the great issues before us, and the great battles that are to be fought; we are little constant of the principles that we are, contending for and striving to establish, and thus we lose energy, initial, brain power and nerve power, through fighting, one another." Mr. Edwards made a strong plea for unity of the race, saying that if we are determined to stand together and will follow our leader, as the members of an orchestra follow the direction of the one who directs it, it will be impossible to separate us except by force. He believes the race is large enough numerically to produce hundreds of big men and big organizations; and I must confess that this organization in my conception is the greatest one that has been produced thus far in the history of the Negro in America." (Applause.) Colonel Young Biologized That colored people have not followed the history of their race more closely. Mr. Edwards said want to be the Roman and the Greek, the way the Roman and the Greek, the history of their people, were able to train up such wonderful children, who were taught to militate their ancestors. He said he believed Colonel Young was the greatest colored influence since Toussaint L'Overture, time and that it is the duty of each member of the race to strive to train his or her child to emulate the example; set by such man, so that they may run up to take their places. yo Seapets i SEE ee SEY STE oe Shay, APRI © ser HO RO Rar le oe aoa Sabo agen eee aoe ee ea THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1922 PT 7 i » T WE a HE NE Ww S LAN ° Jo. dbo ° Di RDS Sea Ire cele Dee cere eee egg ta hs FM Nee Md] Panay Rhy Oy hag Live tea ake nt aa Ee er SDT oS cy ts ces Sod ORD See ar gas Seyed de Seat ee eid ean a ee * re US Tg gee ee hea ae Pea CER ee FIRE EE ees WSLS il ec Bata PN AR VIN . ae ee ea eat Pemereeet .| | ‘ Baie a eer Eero PR om AR oan aRT OR UN TAN ANE A NOMS rea = oe ce MIONTRENL SOCIETY DISCUSSES HOUSING AND ENIPLOVMMERIT PROBLENMS eank ane, Club beld tte regulas ‘Meeting at 163 Guy atreet on ‘Thureday, March £3, 1933.

SMITH ADDRESSES MESSAGE TO WEST INDIAN DIVISIONS Imperial Nations Seriously Disturbed Over Growth of Radicalism and Race Consciousness Among Colonial Subjects Commissioners, Presidents, Officers and Members of the U. N. L A. West Indies and South American Divisions, Eastern Province. Fellow Members: The recent reports of your divisions are indeed encouraging to the cause for which we are striving, and if you continue to labor under those most trying circumstances as has been brought to my attention recently for the complete amnagement of Negroes everywhere there is no doubt that you will succeed, even though occasionally the situation may seem difficult. The program is indeed gigantic for complete emancipation to the minds that never studied world problems, but to you who have studied the history of organized nations, past and present, you will realize that they had to make sacrifices to reach the height of their ambitions and against the most peculiar obstacles imaginable to mankind. But what did it matter if some were imprisoned, tortured or killed while fostering a principle for the freedom of their suffering brothers and sisters brought about by their antagonistic persecutors, whose fear increases because of the determination on the part of those persecuted to secure their freedom irrespective of cost. When you stop to consider for a while you will realize that every nation and well organized people of this age had to struggle to attain the heights they have now reached, you surely cannot stand aside unconcerned as though your success depends upon their of this great association. It behoves all within her fold to redouble their efforts to her upkeep. I believe that if the right men could always be found everywhere to lead under our enterpride leader, the question of the redemption of Africa would only be a matter of time. This association needs men who cannot be bought, men whose words are their bonds, men who put character above wealth, men who will not think anything profitable that is dishonest, men who will not lose their individuality in a crowd, men who will be honest in small as well as great things, men who will make no compromise with questionable things, and may I add, men who will make great sacrifices for the redemption of our motherland, Africa. With best wishes, I beg to remain, yours fraternally. achievements through which you expect that they will prepare important positions for your benefit, while they have even sacrificed their lives for the existence of their nation (which particularly means their race), withstood hardships and oppositions in carving their destiny, why it is an improper delusion to work under, and, indeed, harmful to your future progress. A race of people in serfdom struggling for freedom generally becomes restless and visionary whenever persecution continues, which seemingly comes through the aid of Divine Providence, and though upheaval may occasionally prevail through their dissatisfaction, yet a determination might be easily observed on their countenance that may mean bloodshed for their emancipation. Today all nations holding colonial possessions are seriously affected because of the unrest among their colonial subjects, which is quite natural for while some of us shiftlessly move along, the fact remains that a complete change of world affairs is now taking place and a new generation is now shaping the destiny of nations and races among whom may be found the new Negro, who now intends to play an important part in the world's history just as this stage of reconstruction, for he now more than ever realizes that he constitutes a great part of the human family. Since the birth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association a greater determination may be observed on the face of the Negroes everywhere for self-determination, even though some do not well comprehend the aims and objects of this gigantic program as mapped out by his Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey, founder and president-general, which later through conventions held with delegates assembled from various parts of the world and which were further improved by resolutions and amendments, yet they feel something in this great movement portraying a determination never before exhibited and energetically fostered by its supporters. Why all this? Ah' look and you'll hear the voices of oppressed people calling out for deliverance, among whom are and were the Africans, Indians, Jews, Chinese, Irish, Egyptians. Czecho-Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs and Poles. All except the Negroes. Jews and Indians have secured their demands for self-determination: but study closely why the others got theirs and you'll find that unity of purpose on the part of the oppressed, with certain racial and dip- E NEGI OM YOUR NEWSDE NEGRO YOUR NEWSDEALER?

He set out on a 39-day trip to cover the territory of the entire province with a determination to reorganize the divisions and set up, if possible chapters and branches at such points that were able to take care of themselves. After a tiresome and strenuous trip of 29 days he successfully brought out of chaos fifteen divisions and chapters, of which the following report will show for the month of January, 1922 After the twenty-nine days as above mentioned he became ill and had to return to the provincial headquarters in Bocas City, which he established as a clearing office to see the work of the U.

ST PUTS LIFE DEL TORO DIVISION fifteen Chapters and Assisted Difficulties—Establishes Headquarters has, however, recovered, and set out again on another eighteen days' trip to cover the rest of territory and organize such places as he thinks necessary. The work under his leadership is progressing wonderfully, and we are hoping to send up a record-breaking report for the month of February. The provincial headquarters is one of the best steps ever undertaken in the province of Bocas del Toro to bring something out of chaos. It is not only serving the work of the U N L A, but as our Negro council headquarter, in which the people come night and day seeking aid financially, and to lay their complaint before him for adjustment. Through his effort several people of the island of Jamaica have been made glad by receiving a free passage to their native land at the expense of the British Government and private corporations. Therefore Negroes everywhere should bless the day when the U. N. L. A. in its convention of 1921 decided to send out commissioners to all countries where Negroes are domiciled, especially the province of Bocas del Toro, where the people hall such action as a Saviour of Negroes from the impunities and indignities wreaked upon them by cruel individuals, etc. NOTICE Dr P.

Curiosas investigaciones proceden de todas partes con respecto a nuestra actitud en el desarrollo de los asuntos actuales. Las nactones de Europa han demostreda cierta ex- citacién al notar los nuevos movimientos de progreso de nuestra raza, obra de la propaganda efectuada por la Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, en sus cuatro afios de existencia. Los pesimistas aun no dan crédito a los trabajos realizados por nuestra organizacién; pero aquellos que han estudiado detenidamente el mas minimo paso, afirman que sin ella viviriamos aun en la oscuridad de otras épocas. Esta organizacién ha sido la Gmica en constituir un programa realmente humano. Sin tener que recurrir a grandes medios de investiga- ci6n, puede notarse claramente que la disposicién actual del Negro es completamente distinta a su actitud de sicte u ocho aflos anteriores. En una época el Negro permitia que se le maltratara, explotara y esclavizara; hoy el Negro esté determinado a independizarse politica, social, religiosa, educativa e industrialmente. Con el objero de obtener generalmente tal indepen- dencia, nuestra onganizacién ha laborado sin cesar por of corto periodo de cuatro afios, operandose un gran cambio universal en el sentir y pensar de nuestra raza, agitando Ta causa de nuestra emancipaci6n. Los nativos del Africa oriental se han organizado para’ protestar en contra del sistema de un gobierno que se les ha impuesto. No solamente en esta regién sino que en diferentes puntos del gran continente, millones de elemen- tos de nuestra raza han aspirado el espiritu de verdadera libertad, persiguiendo la unién de una raza de cuatrocientos millones, los cuales en ignorancia, no se habian dado cuenta de que pertenecian a una de las familias raciales mas EI éxito de nuestra labor en el corto perfodo de poco mas de cuatro afios es inminente; hemos adquirido reconocimiento de gran valor y estimacién para nuestra raza. Cuando consideramos la creacién de un solo sen- timiento entre los Negros del mundo y que ellos se or- ganizan, trabayan y viven con el propésito de mejorar su condicién en un sentido general, no podemos negar el mérito de la labor realizada. Nuestra labor no ha terminado aun. Nos preparamos para la adquisicién de mayores ventajas. Fijamos toda nuestra atencién en el resultado satisfactorio que hemos de obtener en la celebracién de nuestra tercera Convencién Internacional en esta metropolis. Toda asociacién religiosa, social 0 politica de nuestra raza esti en el deber de enviar gu representante, con el objeto de adoptar un plan efectivo que beneficie los intereses de nuestra raza Negra La Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra recomienda a todos los elementos de la raza el laborar por el éxito de este gran movimiento. Unidos en el norte, en el sur, en el este y en el oeste, olvidando las pequeiieces de la vida y contribuyendo con nuestro talento y recursos, viajemos en el carro del progreso hacia la realizacién de nuestro ideal: un Africa emancipada; una raza redimida. El universo entero se encuentra envuelto en la atmésfera de un caos politico. El sentimiento de las razas y maciones se haya en un estado de desorganizacién. Alemania abriga aun odio mortal hacia Francia; Francia deconfia de Inglaterra; Inglaterra envidia a los Estados Unidos de America; los Estados Unidos no confian en Japén y asf vivimos en un mundo de odios e intrigas, en Ia incertidumbre y con e] presentimiento de que una nueva conflagracién ha de verificarse. Cuando suene de nuevo el clarin de guerra y los pueblos y naciones sean Ilamados para luchar por su propia existencia, el Negro ha de tener su programa, no para injuriar a las otras razas y naciones del mundo, sino para adquirir la libertad de su propio pats. El Negro acepta la amistad sincera de las demas razas y somos de opinién que el Blanco, el Amarillo y el Negro vivan en paz y armonia mutua.
