The Negro World

APR 20, 1922 The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XII. No. 10 NEW YORK SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: For four and a half years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been advocating the cause of Africa for the Africans—that is, that the Negro peoples of the world should concentrate upon the object of building up for themselves a great nation in Africa. When we started our propaganda toward this end several of the so-called intellectual Negroes who have been bamboozling the race for over half a century said that we were crazy, that the Negro peoples of the western world were not interested in Africa and could not live in Africa. One editor and leader went so far as to say at his Pan-African Congress that American Negroes could not live in Africa, because the climate was too hot. All kinds of arguments have been adduced by these Negro intellectuals against the colonization of Africa by the black race. Some said that the black man would ultimately work out his existence alongside of the white man in countries founded and established by the latter. Therefore, it was not necessary for Negroes to seek an independent nationality of their own. The old time stories of "African fever," "African bad climate," "African mosquitos," "African savages," have been repeated by these "brainless intellectuals" of ours as a scare against our people in America and the West Indies taking a kindly interest in the new program of building a racial empire of our own in our Motherland. Now that years have rolled by and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has made the circuit of the world with its propaganda, we find eminent statesmen and leaders of the white race coming out boldly advocating the cause of colonizing Africa with the Negroes of the western world. Not more than two months ago Senator MacCullum of the Mississippi Legislature introduced a resolution in the House for the purpose of petitioning the Congress of the United States of America and the President to use their good influence in securing from the Allies sufficient territory in Africa in liquidation of the war debt, which territory should be used for the establishing of an independent nation for American Negroes. Just a few weeks ago Senator France of Maryland gave expression to a similar desire in the Senate of the United States during a speech on the "Soldiers' Bonus and the Allied Duty." He said: "We owe a big duty to Africa and one which we have too long ignored. I need not enlarge upon our peculiar interest in the obligation to the people of Africa. Thousands of Americans have for years been contributing to the missionary work which has been carried out by the noble men and women who have been sent out in that field by the churches of America." Germany to the Front This reveals the real change on the part of prominent statesmen in their attitude on the African question. Now comes another suggestion from Germany, for which Dr. Heinrich Schnee, a former Governor of German East Africa, is author. This German statesman suggests in an interview given out in Berlin and published in New York on the 16th inst., that America take over the mandatories of Great Britain and France in Africa for the colonization of American Negroes. Speaking on the matter, he says "As regards the attempt to colonize Africa with the surplus American colored population, this would in a long way settle the vexed problem, and under the plan such as Senator France has outlined, might enable France and Great Britain to discharge their duties to the United States, and simultaneously ease the burden of German reparations which is paralyzing economic life." With expressions as above quoted from prominent world statesmen, and from the demands made by such men as Senators France and McCullum, it is clear that the question of African nationality is not a far fetched one, but is as reasonable and feasible as was the idea of an American nationality. A.—A. "Program" at Last? I trust that the Negro peoples of the world are now convinced that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a visionary one, but very practical, and that it is not so far fetched, but can be realized in a WHITE STATESMEN HAVE BECOME INTERESTED IN AFRICAN NATIONALITY GERMAN EAST AFRICA SHOULD BE TURNED OVER TO AMERICAN NEGROES ALL BLACKS SHOULD WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD OF RACE ONLY A QUESTION OF FEW MORE YEARS FOR AFRICA'S FREEDOM short while if the entire race will only co-operate and work toward the desired end. Now that the work of our organization has started to bear fruit, we find that some of these "doubting Thomases" of three and four years ago are endeavoring to mix themselves up with the popular idea of rehabilitating Africa in the interest of the Negro. They are now advancing spurious "programs" and in a short while will endeavor to force themselves upon the public as advocates and leaders of the African idea. It is felt that those who have followed the career of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not allow themselves to be deceived by these Negro opportunists who have always sought to live off the ideas of other people. The Dream of'a Negro Empire It is only a question of a few more years when Africa will be completely colonized by Negroes, as Europe is by the white race. It is for us to welcome the proffered help of such men as Senators McCullum and France. Though their methods are a little different to that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, yet it is felt that the same object will be achieved. What we want is an independent African nationality, and if America is to help the Negro peoples of the world establish such a nationality, then we welcome the assistance. It is hoped that when the time comes for American and West Indian Negroes to settle in Africa, they will realize their responsibility and their duty. It will not be to go to Africa for the purpose of exercising an over-lordship over the natives, but it shall be the purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to have established in Africa that brotherly co-operation which will make the interest of the African native and the American and West Indian Negro one and the same, that is to say, we shall enter into a common partnership to build up Africa in the interest of our race. Oneness of Interest Everybody knows that there is absolutely no difference between the native African and the American and West Indian Negroes, in that we are descendants from one common family stock. It is only a matter of accident that we have been divided and kept apart for over three hundred years, but it is felt that when the time has come for us to get back together, we shall do so in the spirit of brotherly love, and any Negro who expects that he will be assisted here, there or anywhere by the Universal Negro Improvement Association to exercise a haughty superiority over the fellows of his own race, makes a tremendous mistake. Such men had better remain where they are and not attempt to become in any way interested in the higher development of Africa. The Negro has had enough of the vaunted practice of race superiority as inflicted upon him by others, therefore he is not prepared to tolerate a similar assumption on the part of his own people. In America and the West Indies, we have Negroes who believe themselves so much above their fellows as to cause them to think that any readjustment in the affairs of the race should be placed in their hands for them to exercise a kind of an autocratic and despotic control as others have done to us for centuries. Again I say, it would be advisable for such Negroes to take their hands and minds off the now popular idea of colonizing Africa in the interest of the Negro race, because their being identified with this new program will not in any way help us because of the existing feeling among Negroes everywhere not to tolerate the infliction of race or class superiority upon them, as is the desire of the self-appointed and self-created race leadership that we have been having for the last fifty years. The Basis of an African Aristocracy The masses of Negroes in America, the West Indies, South and Central America are in sympathetic accord with the aspirations of the native Africans. We desire to help them to build up Africa as a Negro Empire, where every black man, whether he was born in Africa or in the Western world, will have the oppgrtunity to develop on his own lines under the protection of the most favorable democratic institutions. It will be useless, as above stated, for bombastic Negroes to leave America and the West Indies to go to Africa, thinking that they will have privileged position to inflict upon the race that bastard aristocracy that they have tried to maintain in this Western world at the expense of the masses. Africa shall develop an aristocracy of its own, but it shall be based upon service and loyalty to race. Let all Negroes work toward that end. I feel that it is only a question of a few more years before our program will be accepted not only by the few statesmen of America who are now interested in it, but by the strong statesmen of the world, as the only solution to the great race problem. There is no other way to avoid the threatening war of the races that is bound to engulf all mankind, which has been prophesied by the world's greatest thinkers; there is no better method than by apportioning every race to its own habitat. The time has really come for the Asiatics to govern themselves in Asia, as the Europeans are in Europe and the Western world, so also is it wise for the Africans to govern themselves at home, and thereby bring peace and satisfaction to the entire human family. I am calling upon Negroes everywhere to lend all the support necessary to the Universal Negro Improvement Association for putting over its great Convention program of August of the present year. Again, the Convention As has been outlined in another part of this paper, it is planned to make the immediate establishment of an African nation one of the features of our legislative demands. The best thing that the race can do is to create just at this time a universal sentiment in support of the work of the forthcoming international Convention, so that when our demands are presented to the various Governments that have possessions in Africa, there will be no doubt as to the potency and force of the demands. We have decided to ring the changes in 1922 as never was done before. This year is regarded as a year of racial and national changes. Egypt and Ireland have already secured their freedom for 1922, and it is most likely that before the close of the year India will have gained a larger modicum of self government. We cannot, therefore, allow the cause of Africa to lag behind. It is for us to force it. Thus the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall leave no stone unturned to win for Africa and the four hundred million Negroes of the world a new position in the racial, national and political affairs of the world. All that is necessary is the moral and financial support of the race everywhere for this great organization. You can contribute your mite now to help this great cause. If you have not done so before, and even if you have, it is your duty to sent in a donation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A., to help this great work for the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of the race. GERMAN COLONIAL OFFICIAL ENDORSES SENATOR FRANCE'S 'AFRICAN-DEBT' PLAN "There Is Room for 50,000,000 Colored People in Africa," Says Dr. Heinrich Schnee, Former Governor of German East Africa—Senator France's Plan. Under Anvil of U. N. I. A., May Bear Fruit [EDITOR'S NOTE: On page 2 of The Negro World of April 15 there was a special Washington dispatch reporting in full the speech made by Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland on the Soldiers Bonnis and the Allied Debts" in which Senator France urged the United States to give a square deal to the Negro. This speech was cabled all over the world, and just as we are about to go to press there comes from Berlin, Germany, a discussion of it by Dr Heinrich Schnee former Governor of German East Africa, which is of peculiar interest to members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to Negroes in general. We reproduce it below.] (Special to The Negro World) BERLIN, Germany, April 16 Little Entente, Dr Heinrich Schle East Africa, has provoked a storm here by his remarks on a special D.C., and published in Berlin, attrib of Maryland a suggestion that the could be redeemed by the transfer Africa, now controlled by Great B United States. One of the reason construction put to it by Dr. Schr Reichstag, is because it furnishes cated Negroes from the Western B with inroads by black scientists of the African continent will be. respects similar to the program of Association, of which the great president. BERLIN, Germany, April 16 -On top of the depredations of the Little Entente, Dr Heinrich Schnee, former Governor of German East Africa, has provoked a storm of comment in political circles here by his remarks on a special dispatch cabled from Washington, D.C., and published in Berlin, attributing to Senator Joseph I. France of Maryland a suggestion that the Allied debts to the United States could be redeemed by the transfer of the former German colonies in Africa, now controlled by Great Britain, France and Belgium, to the United States. One of the reasons why the report, especially the construction put to it by Dr. Schnee, is of such vital interest to the Reichstag, is because it furnishes an opening for the entry of educated Negroes from the Western Hemisphere, and there is no telling, with inroads by black scientists and intellectuals, what the future of the African continent will be. This plan, it is said, is in several respects similar to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of which the great Negro leader, Marcus Garvey, is president. Dr. Sohnee's Comment "Assuming that the senator means the transfer of the mandatory powers, and not annexation, the scheme would seem both feasible and desirable, provided United States control would mean a continuation of the American open door policy, admitting the cooperation of all nations," said Dr Schnee. "This," he added, "would be exactly opposite to the present regime, which excludes all but the nationals of the occupying powers. We still hope that our colonies, now held in trust by the Entente powers, sometime will be restored to us." "Doubtless the German African colonies would be able to support thrice the present native population. Indeed, there is room there for 50,000,000 colored people now, and there will be more room as development progresses. German East Africa, Southwest Africa, Togoland and the Cameroons aggregate an area of more than a million square miles, rich in natural wealth and abounding in the raw materials the world sores needs. Moreover, most of them have zones suitable for white settlers, but their tropical coastline regions are entirely suitable for colonization by millions of colored people. "The largest zone, East Africa, consists of 289,000 square miles, about the size of Alabama, Georgia, the two Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Mississippi and Louisiana combined, and has a population of less than eight millions. Next is Southwest Africa, with 326,000 square miles and only about 90,000 population, while the Cameroons has 809,000 square miles and a population of 2,500,000. "As a colonizing power, I have the greatest regard for the United States. I was able to observe American methods while Governor of Samoa. Their sanitary achievements in Panama deserve the highest praise." "As regards the attempt to colonize Africa with the surplus American colored population, this would in a long way settle the vexed problem and, under a plan such as Senator France has outlined, might enable France and Great Britain to discharge their dobits to the United States and simultaneously ease the burden of German reparations which is paralyzing economic life. "But this subject, however interesting in the perspective it opens, presents enormous difficulties. Remember the failure in colonizing Liberia." PORTO RICANS PROTEST INDORSEMENT OF REILY Davila Gets Cablegram Telling of "Munger Strike" and "Black Flag" Threats on Island WASHINGTON, April 15.—A cablegram of protest, resulting from yesterday's declaration at the White House that the difficulties of Governor El Mont Reilly in Porto Rico had not underlined President Harding's confidence in him was made public today by Felix Cordova Davila, Porto Rican Resident Commissar. The message came from Antonio Cell Vidal, one of the editors of the San Juan Democracy, and was to follow: Associated Press dispatch says Birding emphatically reinforces Raily and proclaims his integrity. Please wire immediately our true situation. Am prepared to begin hunger strike against this tyranny. After enormous demonstration, black flags throughout island. Interpreting the references to a "hungry fire" and the "black flags" as rebellion against government state of desperation, the black flag fled. Birding President is giving full and honest assistance to the situation, and Minister Pierre Hite's record of protesting for law and order."

HOW WHITE NEWSPAPERS LIE ABOUT NEGROES That the Metropolitan dailies in very many instances lie about Negroes not only in their editorial columns but also in their news columns is evidenced in the following news item which appeared in several of the New York dailies last week POLICE AVERT LYNCHING OF NEGRO CAVALRY MAN WASHINGTON, April 3—Lynching of Alfred Lawrence, of Troop E, Third Cavalry, stationed at Fort Myer, Va., accused of an offense against a nine-year-old white girl, was narrowly averted here 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 judge. It was reprinted in The Negro World of April 8 for the purpose of showing the tendency on the part of white newspapers to spread lies about the Negroes in bold headlines. Through an oversight the item was detached from the explanatory notes appended to it and appeared without them. While the New York dailies made out in the headlines, "Police Avert Lynching of Negro Cavailry Man," the accused soldier, according to reports, is "six feet tall and a decided blonde."

PLEASE READ --- Career of Senor Nilo Pecanha, Negro President of Brazil Dr. Nilo Pecanha, recently re-elected President of Brazil, was born at Niothony, Brazil, April 7, 1888. His mother was a Brazilian Negress and his father an Italian. Dr. Pecanha began life as a newboy in the city of Rio de Janeiro. His education was very limited. In 1888 young Pecanha was elected Mayor of the Province of Niothony; in 1900 he was elected to the Brazilian Congress and in 1902 elected Governor of Rio de Janeiro. At the expiration of his term Dr. Pecanha was elected Senator from the same State and in 1906 the dream of the struggling newboy came true. By a plurality of over 200,000, Pecanha was swept into the Presidency on the Federalist ticket, serving until 1910. After serving a term as Premier, President Pecanha was again elected President on March 5, 1922, as published in the columns of The Negro World. KU KLUX SIGNALS FLASH ON PATERSON Three Large Crosses Flaming from Garrett Mountain Explained by Letters PATERSON N. J., April 15. Three large flaming crosses, blazing on Garrett Mountain, visible from almost every part of Paterson, puzzled citizens here Friday night. Interest was doubled today when the crosses were explained by letters, received by local newspapers, purporting to be from the "Paterson Klan, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." County and city authorities have issued statements threatening to crush the organization if any acts of violence are committed by it. The letters, which were duplicates and which were written on Ku Klux Klan stationary, read: "The fiery crosses burning on the hill over our city last night was the greeting from Paterson Klanen to all-loyal citizens. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are here to assist all in need, especially women and children, regardless of race, color or creed, and to stand four-square behind the officers of the law in the fulfillment of their duties. "The membership of the Ku Klux Klan consists of men who will not for one minute tolerate religious or race hatred, and who trust they will have the support of all in their effort to promote the host interests of our country. "Not for self—but for others" "Paterson Klan, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Realm of New Jersey." Prosecutor J. Willard Do Yoe, of Passaic county, said that he had no official knowledge of the existence of the Klan in his county, but that it was his determination to prosecute to the full extent of the law any acts of violence or lawlessness brought about by this society or any other organization of a similar nature, no matter what the motive might be. "The proper place for the punishment of crime by individuals is in the courts, not in the secret realms of societies," said Mr. Do Yoe. "No individual has the right to take the law into his own hands." John Tracy, Chief of Police, said that he was aware that such an organization existed in the city, and that he believed that prominent men were members of it. He said that he would use all means in his power to stamp out the organization if it was responsible for any acts of violence. A REVIVAL AT HOLLY GRAVE, ARK A REVIVAL AT HOLLY GRAVE, ARK HOLLY GRAVE.

IS A "BACK TO AFRICA" MOVEMENT NAILED! Purpose Is to Organize Man-Power of Africa and Help Africa to Build a Great Empire—Association Does Not Preach Doctrine of Racial Inferiority Mistrepresentation is one of the many beating sins in public life. The man or the movement that stands conspicuously before the public eye has to be constantly on the alert to avoid embarrassment due to misrepresentation or wilful falsification. And it would seem that such in the case in exact ratio to the popularity of that man or movement. The dominant philosophy of the day is the philosophy of petty jealousy. A man soars high in the estimation of the masses and forthwith a host of would-be sitters must set out by fair means or by foul to "clip his wings". A movement gathers momentum too rapidly in the estimation of would-be leaders of popular movements and immediately the forces begin to operate to kill, cripple or curtail that popular movement. And for the methods they employ' Great God, is it possible that man, made in Thy image and likeness or fashioned with the capacity to the attainment of the same, is it possible that man can be so vile and mean to man and man's ideals? To publish broadcast that which is known to be misrepresentation is most reprehensible. He who supposes the public with mental pabulum owes it to himself as well as to his constituency to exercise downright honesty of representation. If he be competent to be a dispenser of the things of life and light, he must be able to differentiate between fancy and fact and to interpret the pulse beat of his day without bias and prejudice. To hide behind a literary 'it is alleged' when one knows of a truth that that "it is alleged" originates in one's own mind is unethical and ought to be beneath the dignity of self-respecting gentlemen. A man may err in his judgment without incurring moral censure. This may happen in the case of an insufficiency of facts unknown to the investigator or of the unwitting distortion of evidence coming from secondary sources. But when a man deliberately publishes false information or interprets falsely the motives of a man or the aims of a movement that man is as much a social liability as an irresponsible criminal at large. We are constantly seeing the U. N. I. A. referred to in certain representatives of the Negro press as the Back to Africa" movement. Now everyone knows that that is not the truth. The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not claim to be a movement to get all Negroes back to Africa at all. We are aiming for a condition there that would make for the progressive elimination of the sum of society. We want men trained in every department of modern life activities, men who are thoroughly equipped to guide, to devise, to convince, statemen, professional men, mechanics, engineers, biologists—men learned in the sciences and apt in the art—to organize the man-power of Africa itself and help Africa to build up a great empire that shall be like a house of refuge to descendants of Africa, a point of reference, an effective sponsor, a custodian of the culture and achievement of the race, a nation to which any son of the race wherever his lot might be cast, may be able to point in pride. Today every one of the rugged races that can point with pride to some country of their own is a respected race or nation. And on the contrary, those races or peoples that have no national point of reference are the door mats of the other races or peoples. Now the U. N. I. A is simply calling upon the members of the Negro race to pool their accustomed incurrences making for civilization and help to build up on the soil of Africa a government by Africans and for Africans that would be second to none on the face of the earth. Do you say it is impossible? If you do, then you must admit the inherent inferiority of the Negro race. There is no other alternative. But Mr. Marcus Garvey declares that the thing is possible, and yet those very ones who declare that the thing is impossible are among the ones who spread broadcast this other falsehood, namely, that the U. N. I. A proaches the doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro race. The charge is ridiculous. When President Harding told the nation that the Negro race in this country shall never attain what he was pleased to call "social equality," Negroes everywhere raised the cry that he was preaching a doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro race—and indeed he was, so long as the Negro was satisfied with the fixed social intentions of those who hold the reins of government. But because Mr. Garvey had the vision and the sight to see that the Negro in this land will ever be a mental, a suppliant, a dependent, and agreed with the substance of what the President said, on purely sociological grounds, forthwith they began to circulate the lie that Mr. Garvey and the organization which he represents are preaching the doctrine of racial inferiority. Now, if there is one doctrine that Mr. Marous Garvey preaches and the U. N. I. A. stands for above any other, it is the doctrine that what other peoples have done the Negro race can do, yes, must do, and by the help of God and his own right arm will do. We quote the nearest thing we have at hand, the Negro World of last week, and from Mr. Garvey's public letter. He says: "We believe this race of ours should occupy a place of importance in the world second to none. When we DAVID JEFFERSON OF N. C. PASSES AWAY Uncle of Sir William H.

MILITARY UNIFORMS Forms for Legions, Motor Back Cross Nurses ARTHUR SCHOMBURG COMES TO DEFENSE OF PRINCE HALL MASONS Repudiates Prof. Whitney's Charge That Negro Masons Are Seeking Social Equality with White Masons --- By ARTHUR A SCHOMBURG (Grand Secretary Prince Hall Masons of the State of New York and Associate Editor the Masonic Quarterly Review, N.Y.) We have read Prof Arnold P. Whiting's article *Rousing of Inferior Races*, in the *National Treasure Board* and beg the opportunity to answer his remarks in justice to the Prince Hall Masons in the United States We are reminded that in all communities of me it should be recognized that, before God before the law and in the enjoyment of public affairs all men are equal. It is an assimilative principle evolved from the highest known evidence of the age that in the estimation of justice the only standard of excellence is that which rests upon the tripartite of physical intellectual and spiritual development. Upon these fundamental ideas must forever rest the structure of that future national life which will ultimately bind all mankind in one great brotherhood. And again, be on well read, that was the best government write at injury to a single citizen was reserved as an injury to the whole State. How much more pleasant to read an article where the object works to bring about a better feeling. The issue of difficulties that at present manifest themselves in our Commonwealth among its various races. We believe men, no matter of w at what can respect each other without the rights of taking the dust of our equality. What we demand and are called to in justice nothing but equality before the law. Whose the war brother or the honest man who will defend, to any one a right to walk out and live within his city in the public of opposition. (G) that the going out of his way to slur him because he was the livery of the framed sum. And like Bolomon. Look upon upon upon because I am back because the sun hath looked upon me; they made me the keeper of the earth, earth and my own the earth and I must see; Knowing that all the wars waged in the American colonies for generations to grow what formation and rise taught legends of whites and helped build up the nation that these black people helped the nation during the prince days of rice tannys and darkness more than that they should armed in all the wars of the nation. It ached to blood with Crispus At POLICY MEMORIAM Common on May 5, 1920, with Peter Balem at Bunker Hill where the names of Negroes are duly inscribed or maybe of that memorable mourner where Daniel Webster gave expression where he in his mature eloquence. In the Revolutionary War with George Washington and Lafayette With Major General Nathaniel Greene scattering the Negroes bounces wherever they fell in front the countrys with their enmene forces with Perry at Lake Erie with General Jackson at New Orleans where his own proclamation a sufficient resolution of such a fact. In the Civil War, protect the nation from the enemy with more than one hundred thousand faithful over thatanguinary need at New Market Heights, where general Butler attested to their power to hold the wings of the American Union forces against all the Confederate forces and hell itself For as Whiting well says We have been afraid to face our own prejudices least they should give the lie to our profession Selah What the Prince Hall Masons are seeking in the non interference with their humbly patrons) They are in all things unconcerned with the brilliancy of wealth that permeates white Masonic are scions whether these are in themselves, justesthe or as regular as division show in its whiteness Prince Hall Masons in America are the last persons who are destroys of promiscuously slipping into white lodges to be purposely deplied a privilege well known as an inherent right of the subordinate lodge He may look for that expression of brotherhood abroad where in the language of Burns. A man is a man for a that and a that and where men are schooled in the true elements that go to make the universality of the craft and where Masonry is the real hand maid of the Christian religion If it is not the desire of a brother to injure his loss informed, why prate over this inferiority "the natural rights of the poorest as well as the richest are rendered sacred by Divine law and ought therefore to be profoundly respected. In the fundamental laws of the land by the various amendments to the Constitution, they are further protected as citizens in their enjoyments of the common weal. If it is not the desire of a brother to injure others why should such a delicate matter be left to the mood and whim of the few." This panacea must be portioned according to the mood and whim of Professor Whiting and his cohorts. What principles of right and wrong can come from advancing such a hedge-podge proposition? We believe the matter should be handled with more adroitness and Christian broadmindedness. Races like men will keep their places no longer than the appointed time. The ramifications of evolution are such that at this very moment, no doubt great mental forces are at work to bring the scales of righteousness to balance evenly. The most powerful church organization in the world, which Macaulay in his Essays reviewing Ranke's "History of the Pope," said in forceful words that the tower of its churches was gloriously flourishing while Europe had seen monarchies destroyed, and in this great war unit brought to a close cities have been reduced to ashes and history has repeated itself. That great organization preaches above all things humility and gratitude. We hope the Prince Hail Masons of America will keep to those words not to mortal man but to eternal God for implanting in him an eternal soul which knows no inferior' quality or superior station. The mortal part striving for the attainment of all qualities of moral manhood living the life a citizen should within the state which safeguards his life, his home and his family) and an swerving to the call of the nation promptly) and without quibble or mental reservation but ready to die necessary whether right or wrong in defense of the fatherland as his forebears have always done in the nation During the present war we did not notice Illustrious Prince Whiting petitioning that all inferiorors should be relegated to the rear military classes. In those times these men are conspicuous by their absence and for their alliance in regard to the protection of social equality. The Negro soldiers were sent on an equal footing to die in Europe and when the war was over and the damnable suffering of carriage ended might be again enthroned to rule over right. What a beautiful logical proposal on for the Grand Architect of the universe to look down with compassion. What of it if the darker races are getting consciousness? Isn't the world large enough for the people of all blood to die therein? Are not the wild beasts of the field living together without hindrance as they have done since the foundation of the world? The force of resistance with the whites is the consciousness of having robbed the weaker races of all that was lootable. Their consciousness aqueams with the animus furandl and we are afraid the worm will some day turn around and swamp us for a thousand and one wrongs unjustly inflicted The clear meaning of brotherhood is aptly obscured by the professors beautiful abstraction. It is no longer the true and plain Masonry handed down to us but as provided by a variety of the American people who have injected all their prejudices and their 'beautiful abstraction' by which evasion can be kept up. And now after a century of all kind of sophistry and clap-trap devices he feels that the day of judgment may come regarding the application of Masonry in its simplicity with the metta as exemplified through the world In the Spanish-American War we find him at San Juan HI leading Roosevelt to victory. In the European race saving the white race from destroying itself with the ferocity of barbarism and now comes Prof. Whiting to tell us that the whites are entitled to a place on the higher level of humanity and further that only we want them to know and keep their places as inferior in the scheme of society and civilization. There is no denying the fact that the whites today enjoy the higher level but they will have to keep pegging away at it, for as in the past others were on the top the ladder. History will absolutely and unqualifiedly repeat itself and others in the human procession will succeed the whites just as unerringly as day follows just Prof Whitting not satisfied with many things, finds that 'the soul of the white man results against any such proposition. Yet he does not give the telltale fact that the souls of white men did not revolt when they were raising millions of mixed-breeds in the country when they were bleaching or whitening up the masses of blacks, making possible such a large number of individuals whose racial nomenclature is undeterminable by any rule. They do not belong to the black, and have by all rights a better position with those in whose veins courses the best blood of the Southland We will now close with the words of C G Davis in "Why Not Now?" (Boston, 1909). Today selfishness rules mankind. Our social, political and business institutions are rotten. Hypocrisy shows its hideous grin in every institution that man has founded. We pretend one thing and perform another. We preach brotherhood and place the foot upon the neck of the unfortunate. We are galvanized with forms of righteousness while the heart is rotten." Oh for that atom of light where the sublime revelation of Christianity—the brotherhood of man—may shine to attract men as it were by a magnet in the words of the humble Nazarene as given to us by His disciples: "He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." WISSAHICKON TEAM DEFEATS VANDAL Germantown, Philadelphia. -- The Wissahickon speed marvels ended their season last Thursday evening by defeating the Vandals of Atlantic City at the Wissahickon Boys' Club, Germantown, Philadelphia, by a score of 33-18. This is the second defeat that Wissahickon has handed to Vandal this season. Before 500 spectators, Vandal tried hard to get revenge for the troubling given it in Atlantic City, but with Wissahickon on her home floor the Vandal team bowed to the inevitable. STORK VISITS MR.

APRIL 22. 1922 NORFOLK, April 14.—More than 2,000 persons, mostly Negroes, are homeless today as the result of a fire in Berkeley, a suburb of Norfolk, which destroyed 200 houses and did damage estimated at $11,200,000 before it was checked by the combined efforts of all fire fighting apparatus in nearby cities. Several firemen were injured. The fire, fined by a high wind, spread rapidly, threatening for a time to destroy the entire city. It was brought under control after burning over ten blocks. A church and a schoolhouse were destroyed, and three ships in the Elizabeth River were burned. ARABS ARE INCITED TO RISE IN PALESTINE Zionists Feared Trouble at Easter—Reduction of British Officials Opposed JERUSALEM April 10 Open adive to the Arabs is being given by Palestine the leading Jaffa Arab daity to copy the Egyptian example and organize real attacks so that impel the British Government to publish the Balfour declaration making Palestine national homeland for the Jews. This coupled with Lord North cliffs a assertion made while he was in this country that there was bound to be an upheaval in Palestine as causing great disquietude in Jewish circles. Easter time always has been an anxious period in Palestine. Lives in Turkish days special troops had to be concentrated in the large cities to guard against disorders among Christians and Moslems. Now that the Christians and the followers of Mohamed are politically united against the Jews, the latter find themselves in grave danger. They still remember that the Jerusalem disturbance and the troubles at Jaffa took place during Easter week. The proposed reduction of British officials serving in the Palestine administration and the substitution for them of Jewish officials is also helping to aggravate matters. Every British official removed from Palestine says the Bettul Makdes a Jerusalem Arabic daily. Means the tightening of the strangle hold of Zionists upon our government. We must resist such a move with force, even with the last drop of Arab blood. The Gazette a pro-British daily published in English says "The present position in Palestine is grave and critical. The Arabs all over the country are agitated to a dangerous degree. For the sake of all parties alike, there is only one policy to adopt at present, and that is firm government, but, above all, fair government. The present time is the worst for pressing the Zionist policy of peaceful penetration of administrative offices in Palestine." Twenty-five Arab leaders last week sent a cablegram to Prime Minister Lloyd George asking him to send immediately to Palestine an impartial committee as suggested by Lord Northcliffe to make a careful investigation of existing conditions before any steps are taken by Parliament to approve the proposed Palestine constitution. THE OUTCAST BRIDE Oh what is life without thy smile That hints of tropic clime" Forsake me not or grief will chill I love a verdant time I was a wanderer adrift Upon an ice sea Until your genial spirit sent I its sunshine over me Dull were my days. I could not pierce The future and its gloom. Till magic-like the words you speak Caused my cramped heart to bloom Oh, take me from this cruel land. Where color dictates love See wonder shadow, how it dyes The white wing of the dove It is the same wing, pure and white Wrapped in the twilight shade. So color robes the heart—O hear Our outcast Aryan maid" Far from the White Curse let us fly And dwell by African sea. Where rock-bound coasts may never send Scorn's echoes back to me. The African dawn will never blush Because I am thy bride. Nor stars refuse to light our path When you rove by my side The breezes that woos the Southern Queen Will lift thy jetty hair With gentle hand, and fan my brow With equal loving care What will we leave behind us here? I leave a haughty race. And you the captive' clanking chain In their accursed place. Ah, there how nobleness shall thrill Our hearts shall never tire Where Abyssinia's sun lends Its genial, tropic fire And in the blue tide we will steal Where waves lend robes of blue And I will wear a bridal veil Some billow flings, for you Our love shall find a pure retreat Beneath the African sky, Where palm trees lull us to repose When sephyr wander by And if some traveler should find An outcast Aryan bride Asleep by silver African stream. With hair fung to the tide; And African son, the world desplied, Wrapped in a noble dream. Romance might rise within his mind And lend his soul its gleam. And tragedy's electric shock Might thrill his lips to say: Forgive, O God, a maddened world That cast this bride away! ETHEL TREW DUNLAP. 1697 Allison Ave. Los Angeles Cal Hand of White America Seen In Negro Ban in Brazil—D. C. Refusal of Brazilian Ambassador to Vise Passport of American Negro Discussed—Racial, Economic, Political and Industrial Aspect of Entire Brazilian Situation Gone Into By ARTHUR E KING The reported refusal of the Brazilian authorities here to visit the passport of an American Negro some months ago was treated in the Negro press in the official childish manner. Surprising and a recognition characterized the articles written, but no intelligent comment was made on the subject. Yet here was an event of great importance to the Negro race. Did the second republic in the western hemisphere with an estimated Negro population of eight millions out of 30 million delirely refuse admission to a Negro because of his race? If so, what has caused the change of spirit of that country known to be free from its marked racial lines? Wall Street's Attitude The writer does not pretend to know but gravely suspects that the change might be attributed to the influence of American financial interests with their known hatred of the unrestricted mingling of Brazilians of different races. Several incidents cause this suspicion. The first was a strong alter from the Brazilian Ambassador last year to the New York Times, phasing the preponderance of Europeans in Brazil. The second was a statement in an advertisement offering bonds of Porto Alegre Brazil to the effect that nearly all of the inhabitants of that city were of European descent. This statement was no doubt made to allay the fears of the investing public who might confuse Porto Alegre with a bigger town, and was the first time that I have ever known a brokerage house to stress the race issue. Cardial Co-operation Necessary Then Dr Charles Barroca writing in Current History on The Truth About Brazil takes great pains to inform us that The third false notion about Brazil is that it is a country of half breeds and half castes. In point of fact there are fewer blacks in the States of Rio or São Paulo and in the southern parts of Brazil than in the Southern States of North America. It is quite true that in the Northern States of Brazil there has been a large admixture of black and red blood, and that there exists here less racial feeling than in the United States. But it is largely a matter of climate and of economic necessity and even a North American will be bound to admit that it has by no means seen an unmized evil. There are considerable regions near the equator where the colored man thrives better than the white man and where the white man could not live without the cordial operation of the colored man. A Radical Prophecy A Racial Prophecy "In his dealings with the colored races two alternatives confronted the white Brazilian. There was the British American method of exterminating the colored man and there was the more humane and Christian method of assimilating him. The Brazilian has preferred the latter. And the colored man has actually been assimilated, with the result that there is no formidable black problem in Brazil such as exists in the United States. The black blood is gradually being eliminated and the time is not far distant when the white man will be the absolute ruler of the Brazilian Commonwealth. I am not enough of an ethnologist to make any accurate forecast about the future of the native races in Brazil, but it is safe to say that, so far the white blood has proved 'thicker' than the black or red. In Mendelian language the white blood has proved dominant 'psychologically as well as politically Hybridization Nor ought we to assume a priori that a mixed race means necessarily an inferior race. Racial experiments in the Latin countries of South America have not yet evolved a fixed type and they do not yet permit us to reach any final conclusions. The Latin countries have already given to the world a number of great statesmen of mixed origin such as Juarez or Porfirio Díaz. The great French novelist Dumas was an octoctoro, and the greatest poet of Russia (Puschkin) was a quadronza. The question of whether Brazil will be predominantly white or predominantly colored is one of paramount importance to the United States, because not only is that country a great agricultural country waiting for capital and labor to develop it, but its possessions of that stores of high grade hematite and magnetite in Minas Geraes, Sao Paulo and Paraná, and its numerous waterfalls may turn Brazil into a great industrial nation in a war of races Brazil might hold the balance of power Capitalist Incursions Capitalist Incursions The European war placed Brazil in the hands of the United States, and Brazil has been borrowing rather heavily in this country on the credit of the Federal, State and Municipal governments. In addition, to this American capital has gone into packing plants (controlled by the Armours) and mining (manganese mines of the U. S. Steel Corporation) She will be compelled to borrow here for a long period of time in order to develop herself. We may expect, then, that by the time she has borrowed a few more hundred million dollars from the United States—and that will furnish the means of absorbing millions of South Europeans — the Negroes in Brazil will be thoroughly extircled, emasculated or in process of speedy elimination. Such is the outlook! TO THE EGYPTIANS as Chem.

Brazil will hold her centenary this year—she is destined to be a great nation—and it is a matter of regret to see Negroes a diminishing factor in the life of that nation. Before the war Brazil depended on the exportation of coffee and rubber to pay for her imports and interest (estimated at $100,000,000 a year) on her foreign loans, but she has recognized the danger of depending on these two articles and today her industries are more diversified. In the case of rubber she is being gradually forced out of the game by the plantation rubber of the East, with its cheap labor, and Columbia and the Dutch East Indies are increasing their coffee enormously. This gives the State of Sao Paulo with its billion coffee trees something to think about. In 1920 Brazil exported goods valued at $388,308 and imported goods to the value of $429,303 228. Her exports were made up of coffee. $180,873,424. cocoa. $13,581,878 sugar. $22,236,508. cotton $16,592,063. hides and skins $23,129,700 rice. $19,778,917 rubber. $12,258,415. meat products. $13,364,394. lard. $4,718,099. tobacco. $75,000, manganese ore $8,367,531. hervate mats $10,021,699 and Brazil nuts. $28,492 092. The figures continually show how different is the export items between 1913 and 1920. In 1913 rubber and coffee entirely dominated the export list, today although these two items account for 62 per cent of her total exports, the export list is much better balanced. In addition to this many new industries, notably cotton mills with 1,570,000 spindles and boots and shoes, have been started, and the character of her import trade has been radically changed The Necessity of Negro Labor Yet in spite of this great improvement Brazil has handled her finances in a rather unsatisfactory manner. Her currency is depreciated to the extent of 76 per cent, and the metallic reserve is only 4 per cent of the outstanding notes, and it will require, in the opinion of a financial paper, $176.000,000 gold to have anything like effective convertibility. In other words, Brazil must export $276,000,000 more goods than she imports or borrow an equivalent abroad. How is she to Co this without developing her northern States, which lies in the tropics, and how is this to be done without colored labor? That is the problem of the American financiers who are putting up capital for the development of that country On the Guiana Frontier Another problem that faces Brazil is the development of the Amazon valley. Here she must find means of controlling the annual inundation and colonising this territory. It could be more easily tapped by riding a railway through British Guiana than by the long haul down the Amazon, but here again she is afraid that England will control this section if the railway is built. And England refuses to develop this colony until the colored inhabitants agree that the fertile and subarctic hinterland is administered directly from Downing Street. Brazil is the second republic in the Western World and contains more Negroes than any other country in this hemisphere except the United States, and we ought to pay some attention to it.

THE DUNBAR PLAYERS, WHERE BLACK IS WHITE My opinion? Well, I don't think my opinion will be appreciated by them. Naturally I believe in drama as an adjunct to higher education and culture and of course it obviously follows that in proportion to the class of drama enacted so we estimate the intelligence not only of the actors but of the audience. I cannot so) that the Dunbar Players have quickened Negro intellect that is if the samples of third rate white melodrama which they are producing at present is any criterion of their ability. As a matter of fact I think that they are misusing the name of Dunbar. If Dunbar stood for anything he stood for it that was best in the Negro and it must not be forgotten that Dunbar was back when the Dunbar Play is are colored men and women who try to look as white as they possibly can on the stage. As a matter of fact it was difficult to tell that they were colored people. I saw them in December at Washington. I repeat this is not art of any rate not Negro art. (Of course I agree that the black actor when impersonating a white character should writen his face even as the white actor performing a black part will be forced to his ken his face in the interests of artistic proportion. And here the comparison ends. Oh no. Do not think for a moment that I undermine the ability of the Dunbar Players. Quite the contrary. My main contention is that they are prostituting their artistry. The white man claims that the Negro and Negroids are apa-ing the white men—and the Dunbar Players are simply apaing the third-rate white actor by performing a third-rate white drama. What about Shakespeare? That is just it. Were these actors performing Shakespeare or any other brand of classic drama it would be necessary for them to whiteen their faces. But then Shakespeare has some educational value and there would be legitimate reason for their doing so, which does not apply to the very mediocre plays they are performing at present. While in England I heard about these players. In fact the late Tom Brown whom I know very well, wrote me on more than one occasion about the work they were doing, but it never occurred to me that they were performing white melodramas. There are many plays extant that are purely colored, dealing with the various phases of Negro life, either historically or otherwise, which might be used with advantage by these players. Moreover, there are a small number of playwrights of the Negro race who would be delighted to write Negro plays for Negro players. Negro history bristles with drama, whether we take ancient Egypt or the affairs of the present day. There is ample material for the construction of Negro plays apart from those that already exist. Oh, no! I am not opposed to these players, although I must say in passing that they are as amusing in their way as the people who straighten their hair and bleach their complexions, because, although colored, their outlook is white, and until the Nogro shall realize that he has been somebody and will be somebody again, maintaining a separate entity he is likely to remain in his present condition of semi-serfdom, dependence and spinelessness. I am sorry you do not see my point of view. I suppose it is because you also think white. I will try to qualify the position I take up in a few words: Mr Gilpin's performance of "Emperor Jones"—although the play does not meet with the approval of the average "high-brow" Negro—has done more in the interests of serious Negro dramatic art than all of the efforts of the Dunbar Players. Again, the dramatic society at Howard University, Washington, has helped along these lines, because it has produced colored plays possessing some historical and dramatic value In conclusion, the play, "Taboo," which has been recently produced at the Sam Harris Theatre, New York, although dealing with a phase of Negro life which is perhaps not wholly acceptable to the American Negro, has given the Negro players an opportunity to show what they can do in the way of serious work, for the New York Herald in commenting upon this production, claimed that "the Negro players had covered themselves with glory."

It is sweet to sing and worship With the saints who can forgive Those who wrong them and their kin- Lest a weaker race might live. When they sing "He is a Healer." How the burden rolls away.

And I bear the cross so cruel Just to save my race from shame While the color war is raging In the world, Oh.

When th' Ethiopian daughters Dance like Miriam of old. I can see the shining City That is paved with streets of gold. And the hand my sires have shackled Points to spires that are above; Racial conflict is forgotten In the wond'rous realm of love. Ah' my love grows deeper, deeper When the altar lights are dim. And I press lips black, but tender; In the night I hear their hymn. Oh, there is some tender memory— Saints of God, what can it be? That has drawn me from my color To find joy and peace with thee? And thy prehistoric people, Ancient glory loans to me; I behold thee in thy splendor As in days when thou wort frea Jethro I have found amongst thee Robed in black, and black within; For black in a godly color— White is mixed with thoughts of sin. When beneath my cross I stagger, Oh, you lifted it for me, Just as Simon did for Jesus— It was slave who set me free! From the ashes of the martyr Rose the soul that could not die: Caught me in a blaze of glory That brushed portals in the sky. Precious saints, when Jesus asks me Who it was that came to save, I will answer: "Blessed Master, It was the rejected slave."

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. HUMAN OR NEGRO THE FREELMAN, published in New York City, is one of America's most liberal and progressive journals. It has been unusually fair and liberal in its treatment of the Negro and his various problems. It has not picked out any one or two Negroes whose ideas dovetail with its ideas and heralded them as leaders or representatives of Negro thought, but has endeavored to discover what the Negro himself really thought and felt deep down in his heart. Hence it has played up no Negro pets or favorites, nor has it endeavored to project its ideas upon the Negro is the Negro's own ideas. This was shown a few weeks ago when it quoted the views of the editors of the Messenger as representing the Negro leaders who desired him, the Negro, to be human, and the ideas of a writer in the Southern Workman, published at Hampton, as representing the views of those who desired the Negro to be a Negro. We have reflected upon that editorial. The question would never be put to a Jew, an Irishman or an Italian as to whether his ideal was to be human or a Jew, or human or an Irishman, or human or an Italian. Why, then, should the question be put to the Negro The whole discussion rests upon a subtle misconception. In the course of centuries meanings become attached to words which it is hard to dislodge. When the average Caucasian uses the word Negro he does not mean the same thing as when he says a colored man, a brown man or a black man, but he means a being who represents an intermediate state between man and the lower animals. It is because the Negro was not regarded as a full fledged and full orbed man that he was enslaved for two hundred and fifty years in America. It is because the Negro today is not regarded as a full fledged and full orbed man that he is disfranchised, jim-crowed and lynched in the Southern States of America and robbed, exploited and worked like a beast of burden in South Africa. The Negro, like other races, like the Hebrews, the Greeks, the Romans, the Russians, the Germans, the Japanese and the English, has racial traits and proclivities peculiar to himself alone. By this we mean that different races develop specically different traits of mind, heart and will, but still they are human. They all aspire for freedom, liberty, self-development and self-realization. So is it with the Negro. The same physiological, biological, physical and chemical laws which explain the physical organism of the white, yellow and brown man explain the physical organism of the black man. When a Negro is stricken with paralysis, Bright's disease, tuberculosis, pneumonia rheumatism or typhoid fever the physician prescribes the same medicine and the same treatment as he does for other men. The same psychological laws which explain the workings of the minds of white, yellow and brown men explain the workings of the minds of black men. He thinks, feels and wills. He perceives, remembers and reasons. His mind obeys the law of the association of ideas and the law of psychic habit. He can be modified by his environment, he is uplifted by ennobling influences and dragged down by degrading influences We observed that when an eminent Baptist divine preached in Howard University chapel a few years and talked to students, alumni and professors as if he were talking to a group of children that he did not please the audience. We observed that when Prof E. Hersey Sneath of Yale University lectured before a literary society in Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sperry street, New Haven, Conn, seven years ago last February, and talked upon the relations between philosophy and life, the same as he would in a literary society connected with a white church, he enthused his audience. The Negro's ideal should be that of Terence, Rome's tawny colored poet, who said in the Coliseum of Rome, "I am a man and nothing that is common to humanity is foreign to me." We believe that it is possible for the Negro to be a Negro and human at the same time, to develop his rich imaginative, emotional and musical endowment and still remain a man. All the doubt and perplexity about the so-called Negro problem would vanish like mists before the rising sun if the world would regard the Negro as a man, the same as other men, and not as a freak of nature which never existed before, a being who is neither wholly man nor animal, but a Centaur or Satyr who blends the traits of both man and beast. SIR CONAN DOYLE IT is only natural to suppose that a man possessing the high intellectual attainments of Sir Conan Doyle, creator of "Sherlock Holmes," should feel so satisfied with his ability to work out the problems which have made him famous as a writer of high class detective stories that he should continue to pursue his investigations beyond the vale. In his life of fiction, Sir Conan Doyle will shine brilliantly as the Facile Princeps of detective story writers, but it is as an explorer into a region where mortal man has hitherto failed to make conquests on which we fear Sir Conan Doyle is going to fall with a dull, sickening thud and fracture his reputation as an investigator of the things that are transpiring in the upper—or if author—regions. The daily papers—particularly the New York "World"—have warned the author of "Sherlock Holmes" as a man with a messe from the other world. All the man who have hitherto come with messages from the other world Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed and the others, have brought and delivered their messages without money and without price. It appears that Sir Conan Doyle, living as he is in a commercial world, has successfully commercialized his message at so much per capita to those who it is to be delivered. As some years ago Sir Conan Doyle expressed a doubt as to the ability of the blacks to function as a self-determining race in the ex German colonies because he claimed that those in Liberia and Haiti had failed to do so and he feared to take the risk with those who had escaped the German yoke, we are wondering whether in his new agenda, in which spiritualism occupies a most prominent place there is to be a color line in the new religion, which he is reported to have said in a recent interview "is to be the religion of the near future." We do not take seriously all this talk in the newspapers about Sir Conan Doyle's researches in spiritualism and we do not believe that he has talked with or been kissed by a spirit so called, or that he knows any more about heaven or what it is like or what is going on there than the average mortal who, like Sir Conan Doyle can think no higher than his head nor have any concepts of things or places of which he has no absolute knowledge. It is Conan were a god or a visitor from one of the planets said to be inhabited, we should think differently of him and that which in the absence of better proofs than he has adduced as to his right to speak with authority we must insist are only illusions the result, we fear, of too much Sherlock Holmes" the unizing. If Sir Conan Doyle can talk with the dead, then the dead are not dead at all, but are still living sentient beings. If he has communed with twenty departed spirits, as stated in the interview with him, he has enjoyed a privilege which no other human being on earth has been permitted to enjoy. Sir Conan Doyle is either a superman, a godman, or a plain, everyday British subject, creator of "Sherlock Holmes," and who now is in the United States for the express purpose of gathering some American dollars from gullible Americans who would like to feel that Sir Conan Doyle really has a message, and who would like to be shown some of the things it contains. Sir Conan will find many Missourians in his audience who will doubt, as we do, his claim to having communicated with departed spirits AGAIN. THE OLD GUARD O I do not interest to Negroes is the Genoa Economic Conference. From the standpoint of world rehabilitation it is regrettable that fear of "entangling alliances" is keeping the United States from taking part in it. News dispatches from Genoa indicate that once more the Old Guard is in the saddle. Three cycles of paralytic rule. At Versailles it came about in the fatal collapse of Woodrow Wilson, and the plunging of the world into a dungeon of chaos and distrust a world at the mercy of the Four Horsemen. At Washington our golf-sticks administration made a grandiloquent bid for peace, and, tragic as it is Arthur Balfour emerges—an an Earl! It is pathetic to read the New York "Times" editorial comment on this. And now, with unemployment rife, with New York's Police Commissioner issuing fancy booklets on "How to Prevent Crime," and the world sick and weary of economic stagnation, at Genoa, with Europe's bravest minds assembled, the same thing is being repeated. France is still suffering from shell-shock, her war wounds are raw and fly-litten. Governed by prejudice and a desire to dictate to vanquished Germany, she refuses—that is, her Ambassador, Mr Barthou, refuses to sip tea with the Soviets. On the other hand Eng and, John Maynard Keynes informs us, is unwilling to "re-establish her gold standard on its pre-war parity," and the famous author of "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" goes on to say in a dispatch to the New York: "World" that "at any rate, if the Genoa Conference is not to leave matters exactly where they were before, we must meet something a little bolder than what they are offering us at present from the men of very real talents collected here." Of course we must not allow our credulous spirit to run away with us. "We are prepared to concede a great deal to the confreres—to go so far as to say that we believe they are honestly working for peace and a restoration of credit. But it is silly to "kid ourselves" into thinking, as the "New Republic" puts it, that the statesmen at Genoa are able "to accomplish anything important in the way of reconstructive economic legislation." In the meantime we—the black outsiders—are interested in the methods of the "Big Four" in honeyfuging the mob. ON THE CONVENTION'S AGENDA ONL of the things that should be brought up at the August convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the commissioning of a Negro scholar to write a comprehensive history of Negro literature. To those who cannot appreciate what this means, the suggestion may seem trite, even irrelevant, but nevertheless there is no denying the timeliness of it. Mr Benjamin Brawley has written a very fine book on "The Negro in Art and Literature," but it only scratches the surface of the subject. It tells in a very statistical way of the literary achievements of Phyllis Wheatley, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Charles W Chesnutt, W E B DuBois, Wm H Ferris and others. On the other hand, James Weldon Johnson's "Book of American Negro Poetry" is open to a great deal of criticism in that it is not a very fair interpretation of the poets mentioned. Even Dunbar is not seen at his best, or, as Mr. Arthur Schornburg informs us, does it include all the really worthwhile Negro poets between Phyllis Wheatley and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The work in question must not be a mere jumble of names and dates and benefactors' titles, but a critical interpretation of the authors studied—the kind of interpretation Georg Brandes gives of Shakespeare. Indeed, the task as we see it is a monumental one, and explains in a way why most Negro graduates of leading American universities devote their lives to sociological and anthropological studies. The field is untouched. To the world the Negro is yet an enigma In the realm of Negro history alone there is a prodigious lot that is not known, and that, too, ought to come in for its share of attention. But this is the time for a shaft of light on the subject of Negro literature. It is the psychological moment At present the tide is in our favor and we ought to capitalize it Not only are the writings of white men about Negroes the subject of profound interest, but also the writings of Negroes themselves. It/would, therefore, be a worthy task to trace its origin and development. We sincerely trust that some far-seeing delegate may bring the matter up at the convention MISS ROSE'S ARTICLE IN The Survey for April 15 Miss Ernestine Rose contributes an article on "Books and the Color Line." Miss Rose writes with the condescension of a Southerner. In speaking of the patrons of the 135th street branch of the library, the taxpayers who maintain it, she describes them as "black and yellow, stately Hindoo, proud West Indian, mulatto American, little black pickaninny, turbanned mammy, porter, college professor, nurse maid, student." It is not Miss Rose's desire, we believe, to say unkind things about the Negro, but we do feel that, in her desire to be poetical FOREIGN AFFAIRS By DUSE MOHAMED ALI The oil question is once more looming largely upon the Eastern horizon and threatens to overshadow the Genoa Conference, which seems unable to make up its mind as to whether Germany or Russia is to hold the stage. In connection with the oil fields in the Near East, the New York "Herald" states that a high Turkish official informed its Berlin correspondent that "We hope to expel the British from the oil fields along our border while welcoming American enterprises there." This view is by no means new. Larly in 1914 I was commissioned by influential members of the Turkish party of "Union and Progress" to open negotiations for an American $50,000,000 loan on the mineral deposits in Asia Minor. I was then informed that neither British nor any other European capital was required because of European diplomatic trickery. It was not long after, while awaiting official documents, that the war started and my negotiations had to be abandoned. Now it appears that the Standard Oil Company, by entering into an agreement with the Anglo Persian Oil Company, is in a fair way to having its concessions in Northern Persia nullified because of the stipulation in the concession agreement between the Standard Oil Company and the Persian Government that the American concessionaire would not transfer any of his rights to another party. I stated in a previous contribution that the British had lost their hold upon the African and Eastern peoples because of that new system of double-dealing and hypocrisy which takes first place in their commercial and diplomatic policy when negotiating with mere "Natives." In proportion to the decline of British prestige in these countries, American interests have increased and there is a great opportunity in Africa and the East for American commercial expansion. It is to be regretted that the Standard Oil Company did not take Morgan Shuster into consultation before concluding the Anglo-American agreement because he was in a position to tender such inside information as would have saved the Standard Oil Company considerable money and no end of trouble. The news comes from Angora that Kamel Pasha's Government has issued counter-proposals to the request of the Allies for a Turco-Greek armistice in which the Turkish Nationalist Government, whilst accepting the Allied point of view, makes the fulfilment of the proposals conditional upon the Greek evacuation of Anatolia and Smyrna within four months, that the Greeks should leave the Lakeshehn-Ahun-Karahissar-Kutaia line within a fortnight, and the remainder of Anatolia to be evacuated under the supervision of Allied officers. These counter-proposals, which are quite necessary to Turkish protection against Greek treachey, are being rejected by the Allies who lay claim to a desire to end the war in the Near East. Meanwhile the "Smyrna Committee," comprising the very worst element of Greeks and Armenians in the Near East, has signified its intention to break away from the Greek Government in the event of an evacuation so as to turn the city into a shambles where unoffending Muslims will be slaughtered in order that retaliation on the part of these Muslims will be magnified into "Turkish atrocities on Christians" and the rest of the nauseating cant which has been worn thread-bare in the advantage of a gang of bandits who blaspheme the name of Christ when using it to gull the Christian nations of the West and to cloak their unholy practices against a notoriously law-abiding people. The Note of the Allies, who professed a desire to mediate in the interests of peace, turns out to be an ultimatum to the Angora Government to the effect that until Kamel Pasha yields there shall be no Greek evacuation of either Anatolia or Smyrna. Fighting has recommenced along the Ahun-Karahussar line and the Greeks claim to have won another of their celebrated paper "victories." The subtlety of this Note was founded on the hope that the Angora Government, having become war weary, would accept any terms which contained a rational face value. But the Turks, who have ruled the Greeks for centuries, knew their wily mentality better than the Allies. They were quite aware of the weakness of the Greeks and they knew that an armistice which did not bear substantial guarantees would only be used by the Greeks to gain time to re-arm and fall upon the Turks when they were least expected, and in the meantime the Genoa Gas Works is fuming over a ten-year war truce. Of a truth, the antics of these diplomats must make the angels weep, for there is still bloodshed and riot in Ireland, in Egypt, in Morocco and in India, and the rising thunder of African discontent is emitting ominously discordant noises which the deaf diplomats of Genoa probably mistake for pacans of loyalty. The arrest of General Semenoff throws another sidelight on Allied intrigues against Bolshevik rule. Semenoff was financed by the Allies to carry on in Siberia. So was Admiral Kolchak. There was a bitter fued between these two Russian "Patriots," who were covertly assisted by a bourgeoisie Europe to overthrow the Russian Commune. The European diplomats responsible for these intrigues had plenty of American money to burn on the altar of Czarism and "stable government." President Wilson was deluded into believing that to support these Czarist adventurers would prove the panacea for all Eastern and Central European political ills. So it came to pass that the troops and money of the great American republic was used in a reckless adventure to re-establish a vile, wanton and irresponsible autocracy. Now Semenoff is imprisoned in the United States. Kolchak, who is equally culpable, is at present, in all probability, hatching new plots in a place which is less cool than Siberia, and General Baron Peter Wrangel, another of the adventurers, has been denied admission to Bulgaria because that government fears his coming might excite hostile manifestations. The Soviets meanwhile, against whom Europe and America sent their armed hosts, are, according to the "Temps," Paris, winning all they want at and picturesque, she is not entirely adhering to truth. As long as we have been going to the library we have yet to see a "little black pickannny" or a "turbanned mammy" (sic) enter it. Perhaps, after all, Miss Rose was only imitating the "colorful tactics" of her Southern sisters. There is another point in that article which we would like to contest. Speaking of the heterogeneity of Harlem, Miss Rose says "The American Negro curiously enough is a patriotic being, while the foreign-born Negro quite often is not. The black alen is educated, radical and sophisticated, while the American Negro, in the adolescent period, distrusts these qualities." Now if Miss Rose had said that the foreign-born Negro lacked political consciousness she would be hitting the nail on the head, but it is grossly misleading to state that he is not patriotic. During the war the foreign-born Negro enlisted just as readily as the American-born Negro. Moreover, the United States Government hadn't any cause to put any of them in Leavenworth Prison for sedition. Even in peace times it is rare to find foreign-born Negroes raving about the "imperialism" or "mock democracy" of the United States. Moreover, the naturalization statistics speak for themselves. BOOK NOTES By ERIC D. WALROND WIRTHRIGHT By T. A. Stribling. The Century Company At Young's Book Exchange 125 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, New york city Following the trend of the defeatist school of fiction Birchright submits to the preeminence of environment. It exalts it. If anyone is to be upbraided for that it is Mr H L Mencken, who Brooks Shepherd reminds us a working strenuously toward the creation of a class of fiction whose protagonist is a nature hounded by fate and thomed to misfortune. If he marries, the match is a misalliance. If he acquires wealth he loses it. If he possesses a woodpile, it harbors a Negro. Like Carol Kindleout, Peter Siner bows to the inevitable. With all the soul-praxis of a martyr he surrenders to it. It is preposterous to imagine that Peter a going off with Classic Dilline is an argument against the higher education of the Negro. Not at all. All Mr. Stribling does is state his case. Judgment is left to the reader Niggertown in its dust and dirt and tragic awfulness is presented in a series of striking pictures. Every phase of life in the miserable creosent is looked into—morality, religion, philosophy. Not a word, a gesture of the finger, a suggestion of inflammatory reproach—either against the ignorant blacks or the contemptible whites—is brought in to prejudice us. It steers clear of propaganda. It is a genuine tragedy. Of Peter Diner one gets the impression of sophomoric weakness. It is difficult to believe that a Harvard man is so abominably offete. But it is the Menckenian law, and Stribling, like the majority of his contemporaries, sucumbs conventionally to it. Quite a few critics of Birthright are of the opinion that Peter ought not to have married Clasio Dilline. Some feel that a man of his cultural and aesthetic sympathies should have gone North and married a girl of his class. But it was the only thing for Peter to do. Under the circumstances it devolved on him to offer shelter to the outraged woman Tump Pack had done his part. Indeed, this stage of the book is the tenseest. It depicts the gruesomeness of the South, its sterility, its cracker psychology. It is this part that comes to the defense of myriad black mothers of illigitimate mulatto children. A black woman raned! Yes Peter is a hero, a hero of the most altimute sort. Imagine the book ending with Peter going North and leaving Closse at the mercy of that band of yellow-teeth, tobacco-spitting—Wheels Out! Outwits! Rapists! Leperas! Or imagine—But what is the use, birthright is a supreme work of art. If Negroes do not like it, that is a right, but for God a sake, let white people read it, let them read it! This is the age of "Duster" and "Diary" writing. The English, the Japanese everybody is doing it. We suggest to some literary chambermaid (colored, of course) on Broadway or Riverside Drive a book to be labeled A Chambermaid's Diary. Oh, better yet a Dissection or the Morality of White Folks.

Do it right this minute! THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL HAS THE EASTER HOPE ANY REAL MEANING IN MODERN LIFE? By WILLIAM H FERRIG Last Sunday young men and women gaily walked the streets of our cities, brightly decked in resplendent gar mania. The putting on of new apparel was in harmony with nature a putting on a new robe of beauty and bursting forth in bud and leaf and foliage and flowers. --- In the churches the famous Hallelujah chorus of Handel's Messiah and other inspiring songs were proudly sung by surpliced choirs, while preachers discerned upon the resurrection hope. But the sermons as a whole lagged somewhat the positive assurance of the sermons in days of old before the extension of the universe outward in space and backward in time and the higher and lower criticism of the Bible had not somewhat undermined the faith of the fathers. In those days clergymen confidently preached from the theme. Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." There are those who look upon the hope of immotility as one of those naive beliefs representing the childhood of the human race, which mankind is gradually outgrowing. But the belief in a desire for immortality is deeply implanted in the human race. The Ethiopians and the Egyptians believed in the immortality of the soul, the Hindos believe in the reincarnation of souls, the Greeks believed in the happy Elysian fields, the Mohammedans believed in a paradise and the Indians believed in the Happy Hunting grounds. Homer in the Odyssey" tells of Ulysses meeting the shade of Achilles and other Grecian warriors in hades. Ptole in his "Plaedo" reasoned wisely and well regarding the continued life of the spirit after its disconnection with its bodily partner. While the unquestioning faith of the Apostle Paul in 11 Corinthians, when he soared on the wings of a sublimio belief, is no longer a characteristic of modern thought. The thoughtful letter from a gentleman from Panama indicates that many men of color are seriously perfecting upon the meaning of human life. The Question ANCON, Canal Zone, March 26, 1922. Sir Wm. H. Ferris, M. A. K. C. O. N., Literary Editor of the Negro World. Dear Sir: As a constant reader of the Negro World I have always enjoyed your editorials and have been much profited * oroby. I am also proud that my race produces men of your character and education. My object in writing to you at this time is to solicit further light on the subject of the immortality of the soul (or of man), as was stated in your editorial in The Negro World some time ago. In one of them you stated that Jesus taught the immortality of the soul. I venture to say that I have found the contrary—that Jesus taught that the soul could be destroyed. See Mathew, x:28. Again, in Ezekiel, xv:4. it is written: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Another chapter of the scriptures plainly states that God alone with immortality—I Timothy, vi:16. This Apostle Paul, in Roman II:27, tells the saints to seek for immortality through earnest patience and diligence. Surely, then, if everyone possesses immortality (or immortal souls), the apostle would be wrong to exhort the saints to seek for it. So I inquire whether this is not the tradition of the early fathers and the creeds of the churches, as the Bible nowhere supports such a doctrine. Thanking you in advance I beg to Remain. Yours truly. The Answer In a book like the Bible, written by different man in different centuries, it is difficult to find uniformity of doctrine and impossible to make out a hand by marshalling texts selected from different books. Thus when the slavery question was uppermost in American divines found texts in the Bible which condemned slavery on the one hand and other texts which upheld slavery. What we must do is to consider the meaning and import of the Bible considered as a whole. In no book or article can we pick out a dejected sentence here and there say that they really represent the Book. While it is true that Jesus of Nazareth launched the Resurrection hope and a dominant motive of human thought and while it is true that the Old Testament does not have the immortality of the soul as its central theme, still the immortality of the soul was believed in by the writers of the Old Testament. And there are many instances in the Old Testament which indicate that while it was not the central belief, it was one of the cardinal beliefs of the Hebrew prophets and Isaiah. There is the story of Enoch coiling with God and going back in time to the Flood without dying a natural death. There is the story of Enoch being carried up to Heaven in instances of the Israel II chapter. MAGAZINE 3 and verse 11) There is the story of Jesus going with Peter and John to the Mount of Transfiguration and communing with two angels. And one of the disciples said, Let us build three tabernacles one to Moses one to Elijah and one to Thee. These stories indicate that immortality was one of the beliefs of the Hebrew seers. Then there is one passage in the Old Testament which reads somewhat as follows "Though the flesh worms destroy my body yet in my spirit I shall see God. And in the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes, seventh verse we read. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it! As to whether Jesus taught the immortality of the soul, we find Him saying, In my Fathers house are many mansions and we find 'him saying to the thief on the cross. This day thou shalt be with me in Paradise It is undoubtedly true that the doctrine of the fatherhood of God was Jesus distinct contribution to human thought. And this in itself was a new idea in the psychic evolution of human thought because Anaxagorus Hocrates Plato and Aristotle only recognized that loue or some mind or reason was the cause of or the governing principle of the universe. But the fact that immediately after His death His disciples preached His resurrection and the immortality of man as their cardinal belief is an indication of the general trend and tenor of his teachings regarding immortality. There seem to be two distinct doctrines in the Bible. One proclaims a conditional immortality as Mr Richards recognized. The other proclaims that all survive the grave, the good in happiness and the bad undergoing some form of punishment for the deeds done in the flesh. The Present Attitude The question as to whether or not the phenomena of dreams first led mankind to believe in the life after death, the question as to whether the physical appearance of Christ in the flesh is an actual physical manifestation or a spiritual impression upon the minds of Mary Magdalene and Peter. John and the other disciples does not directly concern us here. It would take a lengthy dissertation and not a short article to properly dispose of these questions. But what we desire to know is: "Has the Easter hope any real meaning with modern science and modern philosophy?" What Plato's celebrated argument lacked was the Major Promise. An iminent God exists. If you hold that the universe is the result of the blind and bartulous concourse of atoms the result of the accidental play of electrons. If you hold that thought is the by-product of the brain, and that the freedom of the mind in willing is an illusion, you have no grounds whatever for believing that the human personality can survive the physical change, which we call death. But if you hold that the universe is not the result of blind chance and blind hate, if you hold that the law and order manifest in the heavens above, from farthest star to farthest star, and in the intricacy of the structure of the atoms with their whirling electrons, point to some infinite mind as back of and behind the universe, if you hold that the rational, aesthetic and moral life of man points to its source in a Divine reason: if you hold that there is something in the life of the human mind, which transcends the play of molecules, atoms and electrons in the brain and the exitotic of nerve cells and commissions of nerve tracts in the cerebral hemispheres, you have grounds for believing that a Creator created man and the universe for some purpose; that man is not the chance product of some accidental variation, and that his career does not terminate with the dissolution of the bodily organism, and the destruction of the brain. In one word, the whole question of immortality hinges upon the question as to whether there is or is not a God As Toyte and Todd stated. "If there is an all-wise and righteous God, and if He has destined man for an eternal and not a transient and ephemeral existence, the human spirit will live forever. If God wills that His Children shall pass from one stage of existence to another, no power and no forces of nature can prevent man from the immortal inheritance, which the Almighty provided for Him, when He evolved flaming worlds out of star dust, out of primal眠 mist and chaos, and gaseous vapor and started the universe upon that process of evolution which culminated when man, the Lord of creation, stepped upon the scene of action, as a moral personality, with the longing for self-realization implanted as the deepest law of his being, and the basic fact of his nature. If God said, "Let us make man in our own image," he did not call him into being, only to annihilate him, as he began to unfold and develop as a rational and moral personality. The common sense of mankind refuses to believe the higher and better and deeper self is an illusion, a three and mockery, only to end in a tragedy. Therefore, it is well for us to celebrate the Easter festival for us to celebrate the Easter festival to of new gowns, dresses and gar THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922 MR. SCHOMBURG'S LIBRARY By ZORA NEALE HURSTON I have been for a visit to Mr. Schomburg's library. It is a marvelous collection when one considers that every volume on his extensive shelves is either by a Negro or about Negroes. Among other things I came upon a book called Journal of a Residence in Georgia by Frances A Kemble Bho was an English lady who married a Southerner and lived on his plantation for a year 1833-1839. The book is an old one and seldom met with so I shall quote from it extracts, that Negroes may know her interesting viewpoint I think an improvement might be made upon that interesting caricature published a short time ago (1830) called the Chivalry of the South. I think an elegant young Carolinian or Georgian gentleman whip in hand, driving a gang of sick colored women would be a pretty version of the Chivalry of the South—a little coarse, you will say 'Oh' quite horribly coarse, but then so true—a great matter in works of art which nowadays appear to be thought excellent only in proportion to their lack of ideal elevation. That would be a subject, and a treatment of it, which could not be accused of imaginative exaggeration, at any rate." So much for the boasted 'chivalry of the South.' She then turns her attention to the poor whites. On our drive we passed occasionally a tattered man or woman whose yellow mud complexion straight features, and singularly anister countenance bespoke an entirely different race from the Negro population in the midst of which they lived. They are pine landers or poor white trash of Georgia, I suppose the most degraded race of human beings claiming an Anglo Saxon origin that can be found on the face of the earth fifth, lazy, ignorant, brutal, proud, penniless savages, without one of the nobler attributes which have been found occasionally allied to the vices of savage nature. They will not work, for that, as they consider would reduce them to equality of the abhorred Negroes they squat, and steal, and starve, on the outskirts of this lowest of all civilized societies, and their countenances bear witness to the equalor of their condition and utter degradation of their natures. HEARTCRY EASTER O day of days supreme, forever blest. On which the lowly Christ from three-day rest. Arose triumphant over sin and death. And brought new life to us frail sons of earth! O morn of morns, ere light be-deoked the sky. Or orbs celestial paled in spheres on high. From out the awful cave, the Crucified. Came forth, the powers of death and hell defied. O light of lights, that from the Eternal throne. With blinding radiance flood the sacred stone: Heaven's mightiest angels thronged from realms above. To greet their King victorious, Lord of Love. O wondrous hour sublime, when burst the tomb. The crucified Messiah from its womb. Emerged, how glorious, clothed in robes of light. No mortal eye beheld that glorious sight. All heaven with sweetest music gladly rang. What harmonious divine the Seraphs sang! Now wonderfull How beautiful the theme. That told how Christ this poorest world redeemed. Let Easter Day this joyful message bring. That Christ the Crucified Is Heaven's king! Let earth, and sky, and sea together arry. Hosanna to the Son of God most high. G. RANDOLPH MURRAY. Visit To Arthur Schomburg's Library Brings Out Wealth of Historical Information. By ERIC C. WALROND A visit to Arthur Schomburg's library. It is easy to appreciate why writers and artists poets and anthologists, of both races, flock to the unpretentious little dusty brown house on Kosciusko street. Not only is it famous for its golden treasures, but the man the mighty human spirit behind it, is the most precious, the most interesting curio of all. The young lady in our party is a columbia student who abominates what she contemptuously calls "form and useless coronary." She has had experience with Negro celebrities. She knows what to expect therefore, she went armed. Armed to her pearl-white teeth. As we put our feet on the hallowed ground and the warm glitter of Mr Schomburg's brown black eyes shone down upon us she gave way to a characteristic weakness—whispering—whispering out of the corner of her beautiful mouth.

Later it strayed into the library of a famous Lord Somebody in London and I got it at a sale. As you see, it was set up and run off by Negro printers in Springvale, Natal in 1868. That was the beginning of folk lore in Africa. "I imagine, breathed one of us "he must have a lot of money to be able to buy all the books" But Mr Schömburg had overheard: "That is the mistake a lot of people make. Because I buy a lot of books it does not mean that I have a lot of money I can't spend it and have it too." 'Here is something I like you to make note of.

When will a Moses for us stand Aid free us all from Pharaoh's land?" "Why. Loo is one of the greatest Negro poets in history. I can't for the life of me see why Mr. Johnson overlooked him. "There are two other things I don't like in that 'Book of American Negro Poetry,'" continued Mr. Schomburg. "and they are, one, the part about Negro music, and, two, the inclusion of Dr. DuBois as a poet. DuBois is no poet. If Johnson wanted to write on music, he should not mix it up with poetry."

People Talked About People Talked About When the writer was a youngster, he made a trip to Boston Mass, some time in the 80s and, while trying to find his way about the city (being a strangor), got lost and wound up in the General Post Office. While standing in the corridor and trying to get his bearings and to learn from someone who knew the easiest way to reach 82 Phillips street the home of Mrs Elizabeth Cooley, said to have been one of the characters in Mrs Browne's little Tom's Cabin, he noted a gentleman of the white race at the stamp window who was in the act of purchasing stamps. As he turned from the window and was about to pass out into the street the youngster recognized the gentleman in pictures he had seen of him in books and newspapers as Mr Wendell Phillips. He apprehended him and apposed for stopping him a few inquiries if he was Mr Phillips. He trip was in the act of love and then he led to the great man of him that had read nearly all of the wonderful pictures, except at the last Mrs and Doussaint Lloyd. He had a great desire to see a man who had delivered him a gift. The gentleman who most affable and congenial had delivered him a gift. He was grateful and loved him. The great man it tried her to the old lady, who felt her but the youngest, from the South of the things she might told him and parted with it. He had said he was going away some hour before all of the dry weather would find them to be. The old lady was all mad, and for some piece of my features I will very glad to put them on the man.

He had said he was going away some hour before all of the dry weather would find them to be. The old lady was all mad, and for some piece of my features I will very glad to put them on the man. They both agreed with the youngster that it required some personal courage to write and deliver such a lecture as Toussaint L'Ouvre ture, and that Mr Phillips' popularity after that lecture was not as great as it had been before as many white men and women did not roll the idea of his putting this black man above Washington and others whose names he had used for purposes of comparison. The recently opened Restaurant No. 2, the Universal, at 77 West 135th street, near Lenox avenue, is a credit to the organization.

When I entered the dining room, the distinguished Virginian was performing a surgical operation upon the "asced" spring fowl, and so intent was he in the work of dissection he did not observe my presence for a full second. When he did he rose up quickly from his chair and tried to greet me but his mouth was so full of spring fowl the language he intended for my ears could not escape, so he smiled his pleasure at seeing me after a lapse of some years and we both sat down. When he had chewed and swallowed the chunk of asced fowl he spoke to me out of the fullness of his soul words of gladness and joy at beholding me looking to young and spry, etc. What we said to each other in the ensuing few hours will hold no interest for readers of this column. We took a ride through West Chester county in the Stanley "kyar" and he blamed thing went so smoothly and so rapidly through space that John went to sleep and dreamed he was in a Fullman sleeper on its way to California to attend a meeting of the American Banker's Association. ```markdown ``` As we neared Yonkers he opened his crawl and yawned and said, "What the matter with this year?"

Charles H. Anderson —Unique Aggregation of Musical Talent on Program Each Night LIBERTY HALL. New York. April 16—Recognizing the importance of the Easter festival, the Universal Negro Improvement Association celebrated this anniversary of our Saviour's resurrection with special services appropriate to this festive occasion, and the thousands of followers of the L N I A who attended Liberty Hall, today received golden inspiring messages which it is hoped will infuse new zeal and enthusiasm and increase their faith in the association and its leadership representing as it does all that stands for the highest and noblest aspirations of a race which has been oppressed for centuries, because of their lack of faith in themselves and their willingness to submit to the dictates of other so-called superior races. Intercepting his tour through the Western States commenced about two weeks ago His Excellent the Hon. Marcus (carvey) returned to New York to open the airways which will be held in Liberty Hall all during the Easter week and his presence in Liberty Hall tonight afforded another opportunity for the urge of membership in the New York day to give further demonstration of his skills. Mr. Carvey is a member of the Teachers' Association. ment we can paint our hearts beaten is that of feeling that He has created us as He mastered, so a perfect moment of His mastery because when it is said that we are served by His own image we ourselves reflect His greatness and when we ourselves to be subjected and to a real others as our super or we hurt an insult at our Creator who made us in His likeness and imagine. Adding a reason for the so-called superiority of the white race Mr. Curry said it was because that race had discovered itself and felt above them there is no other but God. Because of that feeling they have conquered the world, mastered the elements, harnessed the forces of nature and made slaves of others. This he contended was not the purpose of the Creator and if the Negro race occupied an inferior position in the world today the blame was not with God but with the race itself. He enjoined his hearers to take a lesson from the meaning and spirit of Easter, lift themselves from the doubts of the past from the slumbers of the past, from the lethargy of the past and strike out in this new life to see things as they are. Let us from this Easter-tide feel that we are masters of our own destinies—that we are architects of our own faith. The speech in full is given below and cannot fail to inspire those who have even a spark of race consciousness lurking in their breast and dispel the gloom that there is no hope for the race Dr Leroy Bundy of St Louis and president of the Cleveland division of the U N I A was present and was introduced by the President General in a very eulogistic manner. He received a tremendous ovation in recognition of the sacrifices which he has made in behalf of his race in fighting for their manhood rights. The name of Dr Leroy Bundy Mr Garvey said, has gone through the length and breadth of this country and throughout the word, and he is known today as one of our listing martyrs. A man of his courage and conviction is entitled to the respect of every Negro in the United States of America. The history of the East St Louis riots is fresh in our memory and Dr Bundy was the man who had to pay the price of what happened being incarcerated and imprisoned for over a year. He bore his sufferings patiently because of his love for his people, and it was for us to honor him. If he Mr Garvey was asked to name the greatest living American Negro he would unhesitably say that that man was Dr Leroy Bundy. This introduction of Dr Bundy was received with considerable appa use and when the doctor arrose to speak the audience rose and appa auded him vigorously as an evidence of their respect and appreciation of his services in behalf of the race. He delivered a stirring address in which he expressed his great belief in the principles of the L.N.A. and the integrity of its domestic and fearless order. The other speakers were Rev Dr M. H. and H. Rudolph Smith who addressed addresses. These and the unusual special program consisting of haster anthems and special performances are recited by the chair and the hand made the haster celebration. He rose of great joy in meetings here.

A little over 100 years ago a man came to the world called Jesus. He was sent here for the propagation of a cause—that of saving fallen humanity. When He came the world refused to hear Him the world rejected Him the world persecuted Him men crucified Him. But a couple of days ago He was led to the cross of Calvary. He died. He was buried. Today He is risen risen the spiritual leader of creation risen as the first fruit of those who slept. Today that crucified Lord that crucified Christ sees the affairs of man from His own spiritual throne on high. After hundreds of years have rolled by—after nearly two thousand years—the doctrine he taught has become the accepted religion of hundreds of millions of human beings. He in His resurrection triumphed over death and the grave. He by His resurrection convinced humanity that His cause was spiritual. The world felt the truth about Jesus too late to have accepted His doctrine in His lifetime. But what was done to Jesus in His lifetime is just what is done to all reformers and reform movements. He came to change the spiritual attitude of man toward his brother. That was regarded in His day as an irregularity even as it is regarded today. The one who attempts to bring about changes in the order of human society becomes a dangerous creature—a dangerous imposter upon society, and to those who control the systems of the day. The Desire to Enslave Others The Desire to Enslave Others It has been an historic attitude of man to keep his brother in slavery—in subjection for the purpose of exploitation. When Jesus came the privileged few were taking advantage of the unfortunate masses. Because the teaching of Jesus sought to equalize the spiritual and even the temporal rights of man, those who held authority, sway and dominion sought His liberty by prosecution, sought His life by death. He was called to yield up that life for the cause He represented; for the cause He loved—because He was indeed a true reformer The Example Set by Christ The example set by our Lord and Master 1000 years ago is but the example that every reformer must make up his mind to follow if we are to indeed serve those whom we have ministered to. Services to humanity means sacrifice. That has been demonstrated by our Blessed Lord and Redeemer whose resurrection we commemorate this day. As Christ triumphed nearly two thousand years ago over death and the grave as he was risen from the dead. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922 so do I hope that 400 000 000 Negroes of today will triumph over the slavishness of the past intellectually morally and even religiously that on this anniversary of the resurrection of our Blessed Lord we ourselves will be risen from the slumber of the ages risen in thought to higher ideals to a loftier purpose to a truer conception of life What Is Life? What is life? Life is that existence that is given to man to live for a purpose, to live to his own satisfaction to live to his own pleasure providing he forgets not the God who creates him and who expects still a spiritual obedience and observation of the moral laws that He has given to us. Life to man is absolute and he as man—man the individual is created in the image of his God to whom man owes sovereignty and to whom man owes obedience. Man owes obedience to God because man himself is a sovereign master, a lord, such as he was created by his God. The Hope of the U. N. I. A. It is the hope of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of this day that the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world will get to realize that we are about to have a new life—a risen life—a life of knowing ourselves. How many of us do know ourselves? How many of us do understand ourselves? The major number of us for ages have failed to recognize in ourselves the absolute masters of our own destiny—the absolute directors and creators of our own fate. Tough as we think of our risen Master may we not also think of the life that He gave to us—life that made us His Instruments. His children—the life that He has given to us to make us possessors of the land that He Himself created? How many of us can reach out to that higher life that higher purpose, that creative world that says to you you are man, a sovereign man a lord—lord of the creation? But on this beautiful spring day may we not realize that God made nature for us that God made the world for us. God has given it to us as our province as our dominion. May we not realize that God has created no superior being to us in this world but Himse! May we not know that we are the true lords and creators of our own fate and of our own destiny? The work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for four-and-a-half years has been that of guiding us to realize that there should be a resurrection in us and if at no other time I trust that at this Eastertide we will realize that there is a great need for a resurrection—a resurrection from the lethargy of the past—the sleep of the past—from that feeling that made us accept the idea and opinion and belief that God intended GRAND OF UNIVERSAL GROC At 646 Lenn You are cordially invited to call and at the same time purchase price.

Men and women of Liberty Hall, men and women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, do you know that the God we love, the God that we adore, the God who sent His son Jesus Christ to this world nearly two thousand years ago never created an inferior man? That God we love, that God that we worship and adore has created man in his own image equal in every respect, whatsoever he may be, let him be white, let him be yellow, let him be red, let him be black, God has created him the equal of his brother He is such a loving God. He is such a merciful God. He is such a God that He is no respecter of any person that he would not in His great love create a superior race and an inferior race. The God that you worship is a God that expects you to be the equal of other men. The God that I adore is such a God and He could be no other God. No Superiority or Inferiority No Superiority or inferiority Some of us seem to accept the fatalist position—the fatalist attitude that God accorded to us a certain position and condition and therefore there is no need trying to be otherwise. The moment you accept such an attitude—the moment you accept such an opinion—the moment you harbor such an idea you hurl an insult at the great God who created you, because you question Him for His love, you question Him for His mercy God has created man and has placed man in this world as the lord, as the sovereign of everything that you see, let it be land, let it be sea, let it be lakes, rivers and everything therein. All that you see in creation, all that you see in the world, was created by God for the use of man, and you four hundred million black souls have as much right to their possession in this world as any other man. Created in the image of the same God, we have the same common future, and tonight I trust that there will be a spiritual and material and temporal resurrection among Negroes everywhere, that you will lift yourselves from the doubts of the past, that you will lift yourselves from the lethargy of the past and you will strike out in this new life—in this resurrected life—to see things as they are. See Life as Others See It The Universal Negro Improvement Association desires that the four hundred million members of our race see life as the other races see it. The great white race sees life in a position of sovereignty, the great yellow race sees life in the position of sovereignty that is to say that man, let him be white man, let him be yellow sees that he is master and owner and possessor of everything that God has created in this world and given to us in nature, and that is why by knowing himself, by understanding himself and by understanding his God, he has gone throughout the length and breadth of the world conquering the very elements, harnessing nature and making a servant of everything that God placed within his reach. And as he has done that for thousands of years, pleasing God and justifying his existence, so we are appealing to the members of our race to do that now in this risen life and if you never made up your minds before I trust on this Easter Sunday you will do so. Masters of Your Own Destiny I repeat that God created you masters of your own destiny, masters of your fate, and you can pay no higher tribute to your Divine Master than function as man as He created you to be.

I trust you will so live tonight that you will realize that you are masters of your own destiny, you are masters of your own faith; if there is anything you want in this world it is toef you to strike out with confidence in self and faith in self and reach for it, because God has created it for your happiness whereover you may find it in nature. Nature is bountiful; nature is resourceful and nature is willing to obey the commands of man. Man the sovereign lord, man who is supposed to hold dominion and take possession of this great world of ours. The Difference Between Strong and Weak Races The difference between the strong races and the weak races is that the strong races seem to know themselves, seem to discover themselves, seem to realize and know fully that there is but a link between them and the Creator and that above them there is no other but God and that anything that bears human form is but our equal in standing and to that form there should be no obesience, there should be no regard for superiority Because of that feeling they have been able to hold their own in this world, have been able to take care of the situation as it confronts them in nature, but because of our lack of faith and confidence in ourselves we have caused others created in a like image to ourselves to have taken advantage of us for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years we have been the footstool of other races and nations of the earth simply because we have failed to realise, to recognize and to know ourselves as other men have known themselves and felt that there is nothing in the world that is above them accept the influence of God. The only influence that is above him is that spiritual influence directed through God himself God never in His created plan and His created purpose intended that man should be above man, but AN INDICTMENT for GRAND LARCENY has been entered against REV. J. D. BROOKS, a former SECRETARY-GENERAL of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for non-accounting for monies received for the organization, and he is now awaiting trial. This is a WARNING to all those who handle the funds of the U. N. I. A. No stone will be left unturned to bring to justice guilty parties who may endeavor to defraud the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Members all over the world are requested to see that all those who handle the funds of all local divisions account for every penny received in the name of the organization month by month.

MEMBERS, KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN And see that everybody lives up to it By Order: UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General He intended that man should be the equal of man, the brother of man throughout the world and if you occupy an inferior position in the world today you will blame it not to the God who created us but to yourselves because He has created the world with all the beautie therein for our comfort and happiness. If we fail to make the best of life and reach out to the things of nature it is not blamable to our divine master, but is blamable to ourselves. Let us from this Easter-tide feel that we are masters of our own destinies, that we are architects of our own fate. Go from Liberty Hall to night throughout the length and breadth of the world and realize that you are masters of your own destiny, whatsoever you desire life to be that much shall life be to you. If you desire to occupy an inferior place in the world that shall be your place. Some of us seem to feel that God created us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water; that He created us to be always in a mental position. God never created any man to occupy any one position; but God created man as master of his own faith for him to THE NEWS VIEWS OF U.N. I. A. DIVISIONS HOW, FRED A.

If some man have not risen above others it is because they have failed to grasp the opportunities of life. The understanding that others have gotten out of life is the same understanding that 400,000,000 Negroes ought to get out of this existence of oura. I pray that a new inspiration will come to us, that as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we will think of nature as our servant, that we will think of man as our partner through life, that we will not think of man as our superior and think of ourselves as inferior, because God Almighty has never created a superior man. He has never created an inferior man. God Almighty created all man equal, because He created man in his own image. That is my message to you. I trust throughout this season you will try to realize that upon you depends your own existence, depends your own future (Applause.) DR. BUNDY SPEAK8 Dr Leroy Bundy, on being introduced by the President General, said Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Members of the Executive Council, Members and Friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I assure you that it is indeed a gratifying pleasure to be here this evening. I do not know I can recall a day to me so pleasant and so wonderful as this day. I have gone through as our good President General has said many experiences since I was last in this great city. I little dreamed that after I left here a few years ago and went through the harrowing experiences which have been heralded throughout the world that I would ever have the opportunity to again face an audience in this great city. But on the anniversary of the resurrection of our Christ there is afforded me the splendid opportunity—an opportunity long to be remembered—of being present in this great cradle of liberty of four hundred million Negroes. Fighting for the Rights of the Race I have said on many occasions that it matters little if I lived in the jails of this county, 2½ months in one cell alone and it matters little if I was lodged in another cell in another jail for 2½ months and it matters still less that I laid in the penitentiary in the State of Illinois for one year and six days, if that persecution and that suffering that I have undergone has had the effect of securing the manhood rights of our race and of bettering the condition of my race. I am only sorry that my life is so short that I have but rare years and more months to give. Self-Baorifice the Greatest and Noblest Privilege It is to me one of the grandest and greatest and noblest privileges that any leader can hope to have or hope to give and that is self-sacrifice (Applause). No leadership in this world—no leadership in this time shall amount to anything unless that leadership is backed up by self-sacrificing principles. The day is past when the Negroes of this country will be satisfied with the mission backbone, unspoiled Negro leader (current applause). I am one who knows the suffering of his people and who understands their longings and their ambitions, and I say to you that the greatest Negro living or dead in His Excellency Hon. Marcos (Gives) (Thunderous applause). What would this race be able to look forward to or hope for—what would the future hold out for us at this time if it were not true that through the genius of this indomitable, fearless leader he has given to the race, the birth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which is plaining it and I identify, out a way for you and me and four hundred million Negroes bringing out of the abyss of the sea and plaining us on the broad sunlight of a new day). I have no patience with those Negroes who remain outside of this organization. I think it is a crime that any Negro who can join if he does not become a member in full standing in this great organization (Applause). When I was in the West working for this great movement some years ago just after I had returned from the penitentiary, they said to me. Why this movement cannot amount to anything? it 'is only a mushroom organization' it is born tonight and it will be dead before tomorrow morning." but let me tell you that they judged us by the men and women of the past. The membership and the personnel of this organization are the type of Negroes who are willing to give up all that they have—even life if it is necessary—to carry through this great program (Applause). They told me again that it is not time for us to do the things that we are striving to do. I say to you if it is not time then the time will never come. The time is here, and I believe that this is the day of Ethiopia stretching forth her hand and it is not being stretched forth as a beggar pleading for mercy but it is being stretched forth as a mighty giant stretching out across the seas demanding the return of the motherland. Africa (Loud and prolonged applause) On the anniversary of this great day let us make up our minds that there is a new hope resurrected within us that there is a new determination born in us, and that we can turn to our poorest leader and say to him, "Lead on! lead on! Marcus Garvey, lead on, for we will follow thee!" Greetings from Cleveland Division My friends, the greetings of the membership of my Division come to you through me this evening. We are only a small organization—only numbering 6,800 members. (Laughur and applause.) His Excellency Hon. Mr Smith, came into my city and called on me to report. He said get busy and let us do something here, and I found in him a man worthy of his mettle. I said to him that which I can do I will do gladly, and I joined all the forces with him in changing conditions somewhat. At that time there were a certain class of "upty" Negroes who looked upon the organization with contempt, but today I have to keep a legion standing on the front door to keep them out (laughter and applause). but they come in anyhow The Cleveland Division is going to give a good account of itself at the coming convention The thing we are suffering most from in the part of the country which I hate from its dissension among our selves—exploitation selfishness and petty blickering—those are things we are suffering most from. Let us make up our minds that we are going to put all those things aside. There are some leaders—there are some men who have the courage of their convictions, and who will lead and lead in an honest and intelligent and efficient manner, but the only way they can do it is by your cooperation, and it does not make any difference to me—while I hope that nothing hall happen to our beloved President General it does not make any difference to me if anything does happen to him. I respect him still as the leader of this grand movement, and if persecution shall cast him into the cell, or into the jail, or down into the dreamless dust, the Hon Marus Garvey will be my leader still (Great applause) In my great fight for liberty in my great fight for the human rights and manhood rights of my race I do not believe there is any Negro in America who has felt the lash more keenly than I and I want to tell you that if it is not the time for Negroes to get together and do something, then I do not believe that time will ever appear upon the horizon. You may fool yourselves all you want you may rock yourselves to sleep in the idea that you are secure here but one of these days you will wake up to find that it was only a dream. Let us join forces with the four or five hundred million Negroes throughout the world, let us make up our minds that we are a force irresistible and nothing can daunt us and with head erect and eyes undaunted let us walk the earth as angels walk the clouds. (Loud applause) Rev Dr Maloney was the first speaker and said Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, Members of the High Executive Council Distinguished Visitor Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League Today we would join with the great world about us in celebrating an ancient feast of the vernal equinox. The heart of man is made glad with an ancient gladness. Springtime in all nature has made springtime in the hearts and soul of man. Therefore when we meet together to celebrate this great festival of the rising from the dead to life, we are joining not only with the Christians throughout the world but with all peoples whether they be Christians or not, we are joining with nature itself in celebrating this great feast of the resurrection: a resurrection to life out of death to light out of darkness to order out of chaos, a resurrection of new ideals out of the dead and dormant past. So that when we meet together on these occasions we are linking up with the great thought currents of the ages, we are linking with our fathers of bigge days, we are linking with men who have made their mark in history and now are back in the presence of God. We are linking up with men who have made great movements possible and who have brought us to this present in the history of the world. So then we may congratulate ourselves on this occasion and feel that we are celebrating the resurrection to life again. A Resurrection of Arms and Ideals White's Anglo Saxon is being satified with the more bodily raising from the dead, may we not feel ourselves wonderfully blessed to know that God Almighty has put into our hearts a desire not simply to be satisfied with the material resurrection but with a resurrection of alms, of ideals and of hope long dormant long dead but now by virtue of the presence in our midst of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and our matchless leader Hon Marcus Garvey has brought to life a new ideal a new aim a new desire in our souls. So that Easter means to us not the coming out of the grave of a body but it means the raising up again in our souls of higher aims loftier and stronger and more vital purposes. We shall not be satisfied until our resurrection aim is realized and there on the balmy shores of Africa we shall establish a government second to none on the face of the earth with the Red, the Black and the Green floating among the flags of the other nationalities of the world, under the motto of "One God One Alm One Destiny" (Applause) HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAK8 Hon Rudolph Smith leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies, was the next speaker introduced and said, I am extremely delighted to speak to this great concourse of people assembled here. Your presence here evidences your aspirations in life. Today as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we recall his struggles through life amidst the most peculiar difficulties; and, although many persons paid but little attention to him in spite of all the miracles he performed, after his death the gospel he propounded was proclaimed in various parts of the universe and people of all races followed the footsteps of this great leader which THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. APRIL 22. 1922 HON. W. O. SMYER THRILLS BRAD- DOCK, PA., DIVISION WITH ELOQUENCE Undimmed Faith in Leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada, March 21, 1822. Te Editor of the Negro World! We, the membars of Division 89, still have the utmost con- fidence in the Mon, Marous Gavry, our loyal and intrepid leader. Regardless of the inadmissi- propaganda sown against this world-wide movement—a move- ment laboring for so just a cause as the liberty and freedom of the 400,000,000 Negroes—that same freedom and liberty that was intended for us as for other races, we are determined to stick by our great leader to the very last. We have all confidence in the work of the U N. I A., for it is scriptural, logical and just, and must go on to victory with the help of God. I remain. Yours in hope, FRED D DICKENS. President, Div. 89, U N. I A. has resulted in bringing together the bigger brotherhood in life Alluding to the progress which the U N I A was making in other parts of the country Mr Smith made special reference to the Cleveland division whose representative was present in Liberty Hall tonight in the person of Dr Leroy Bundy. After hearing Dr Bundy he felt sure all present would take on new hopes and those who were not connected with the organization before would go out and spread its doctrines until it will be necessary to build a Liberty Hall three times the size of the present building. Already the speaker said persons who had been skeptical of this movement are beginning to take interest in it because of the courageous stand taken by its leader the Hon Marcel Garvey who will not be downed. He was receiving reports from the various fields that the most intellectual minds of the race were linking up with the Universal Negro Movement Association. From the Southern States comes the news that Negroes are rallying to the call of the U N I A and that even the Ku Klux Klan are getting mighty scared of the organization U N. I. A. Has Brought Negroes Together Continuing the speaker said if the U N I A has accomplished nothing more than having brought together the largest number of Negroes in history, it would have done a great deal, since it has always been said that we do not stick together. The U N I A has taught us how to stand together and he hoped the day would come when 400,000,000 Negroes will stand together and allow their voices, to be heard throughout the universe in support of the Universal Negro Movement Association and the Red, the Black and the Green. He concluded with the exhortation to stand by and support the organization to the fullest extent. THE DOLLAR DINNER OF THE U. N. I. A. WAS THE GREATEST EVENT OF THE SEASON IN SAN DIEGO THE DOLLAR DINNER OF THE U. N. I. A. WAS THE GREATEST EVENT OF THE SEASON IN SAN DIEGO Under the very efficient leadership of Vice President Wilkins the ladies of the Black Cross had charge of the arrangements for the elaborate dollar dinner. The hail was artistically decorated with the American and Red, Black and Green flage. Down through the middle of each table was stretched the Red, Black and Green, while at the head of the table was conspicuously a miniature ship of the Black Blue line. About one hundred and fifty guests were seated. All agreed that it was the swellest affair ever given in the city of San Diego. It brought out the elite and worthwhile people of By T W MAXWELL PITTIBRI RGH Pa March 28 1922 In spite of the unfavorable weather the U N I A Division 131, opened its meeting at 8:46 p.m. the hymn, "From Greenland a Ice Mountains," was sung, followed by the association's prayer While the Black Cross Nurses stood in draft formation the High Commissioner for the State walked in, accompanied by the honorary president of Pittsburgh Division 61 The audience rose and sang "Onward Christian Soldiers" until the visitors were seated on the rostrum. Our president G M Medei, gave the welcome address outlining the cause and purpose for which we were gath- ered and expressing his gratification that our division should be so highly honored for the second time. Our program was next continued by the rendition of a beautiful recitation by Miss Annie Rusa, entitled "Now Is the Time to Do So." followed by a well-rendared and harmoniously sung duet by Mrs Mary Jones and her sister Mrs Armstrong. Then a paper by our associate secretary, Misa Ulyssesse Gaines, entitled "It's All Too Fast for Me." The next was the enthusiastic processional one-step march of Misses Gladys Wolfe, Sarah B. Molt, Annie Rusa and U Gs us in dresses of the tricolor, who a' the completion of the march occupied seats on the platform and entertained greatly with a song of their own composition, entitled "Red, Black and Green Forever." Mr Harry Gibson, a native of Africa, spoke in an encouraging manner for ten minutes on "The Assassination of John Brown." He also FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Continued from page 4) Genoa "For," says the "Tempa," with the Allies under the command have obtained three important resits the conference upon an equality of official recognition; they have kept signing or conceding anything, and that the outcome of the conference.

Now all of this is very pretty City gentleman should live in Paris that he should comment the Free He has mentioned Rene Maran, be work with its indictment of Fre Toussaint L'Ouverture, but is he prior and a patriot who fought for the French thereby to accord that Mr Barksdale enjoys? What is his people? To selfishly enjoy Fr Barksdale's people are grooming the pression and exploitation without Kansas City gentleman is, perhaps praise this Negro gentleman lavish. Genoa "For," says the "Temps," "in less than a week, face to face with the Allies under the command of Lloyd George himself, they have obtained three important results. They have been admitted to the conference upon an equality which is practically equivalent to official recognition; they have kept intact all their claims without signing or conceding anything, and their decisive success has been that the outcome of the conference now depends upon Moscow." All of which goes to prove how purile are the efforts of these same diplomats who "represent" five hundred and fifty million people, but who cannot successfully conduct their own affairs and those which immediately concern Europe and yet hope to control the affairs of the one thousand two hundred million colored peoples of the world. The point which apparently escapes these well-meaning Solomons is not only the very patent fact that the one thousand two hundred million are watching the capers of the leaders of the five hundred and fifty million, but also that we, who form the majority, might, perchance, possess some ideas of our own as to what we consider "good and ordered government." A gentleman by the name of Norval Barksdale, who claims to be a Negro from Kansas City, now resident in France, has written a very interesting letter which was recently published in "L'Opinion." Paris. This Negro gentleman loves France it appears, because that country no longer draws the color line. His letter—as translated by the "Living Age," Boston says, in part. People of France, pause a moment to hear the words of a young man—an American by birth, a Negro by race, but a Frenchman of choice. I am convinced that the colored peoples are to find their salvation in French civilization rather than in German culture—that is to say, the kultur of the Germans the English and the Americans. French civilization produced Toussaint L'Ouverture, Alexandre Dumas, Rene Maran, and a host of other French writers and scholars who had colored blood in their veins. Among the Teutonic nations men of colored blood, no matter how gifted and cultivated, encounter nothing but obstacles and discouragements. I greet the Negro of France. He knows true liberty he knows what it is to live. Now all of this is very pretty. It is very proper that this Kansas City gentleman should live in Paris if he so wills. It is also correct that he should commend the French for their ideas of "Equality." He has mentioned Rene Maran, but has he read this author's work work with its indictment of French colonial rule? He mentions Toussaint L'Ouverture, but is he aware that Toussaint was a warrior and a patriot who fought for the freedom of his people, causing the French thereby to accord that very respect to the Negro which Mr Barksdale enjoys? What is Mr or Mons Barksdale doing for his people? To selfishly enjoy French liberty whilst millions of Mr Barksdale's people are groaning under the weight of European oppression and exploitation without the much needed assistance of the Kansas City gentleman is, perhaps, not quite so commendable as the praise this Negro gentleman lavishes upon French culture the city. The ladies were charming, as Negro ladies always are on such an occasion And, of course, the gentlemen tried hard to keep pace with them. The menu was tastefully served in five courses with which all seemed highly pleased. The polished manners and busy hum of voices showed how immeasately all were enjoying the occasion. To one who can recollect the functions given by our people just after the emancipation, he can appreciate just how far the race has advanced But perhaps the proudest man of the occasion was our worthy president Mr F T Anderson, who sat at the head of the table in full evening dress, while beside him sat the lady president Mrs Norwood and here let me say that no better selection for president of our local organization could have been made than F T Anderson, a man always sunny no matter what occurs, a natural born leader of men He is the life of the organization and a man who keeps abreast of the times The president is ably assisted by Mrs Norwood, who is a natural horn orator. The vice-president Mr Wilkins, who, like Marcus Garvey, is a native of the West Indies, is a gentleman of broad information One of the most enjoyable features THRILLS BRAD- ON WITH ELOQUENCE spoke of Booker T. Washington a era and of the New Negro of the Marrus Garvey dream. His speech was highly appreciated our president the calm and gentle, meek and humble but determined U N I A scholar known as district arbitrator and honored president of the Pittsburgh division then rose and explained briefly the truths of the U N I A to his hearers, creating much enthusiasm. He showed the position of four mighty men—Moses, Christ Booker T Washington and Marcus tarvey—that each had his own line of preparatory work The honor of introducing the speaker of the evening was conferred on the president of Division 61. He introduced the speaker as a man of educational abilities, saying he was a man of philosophy and of science, an orator, a theologian and of science, but not least, a true-born rhetorician. The speaker, W O Hmyer High Commissioner, blushed and said that he thought the introduction by the president was one of superb grandeur, but that had he added a little salt to it he would have relished it better. He took for his subject "The Negro Problem," and in discussing the same displayed great ability. He showed that the Negro is the only one to solve the problem, and he is doing it now, since he began to think. In Africa the Africans are thinking through the U. N. I. A. The Western world was also erapt. At 11 10 p. m. the meeting closed with overflowing joy in honor of the Red, the Black and the Green.

We only wish we had space to mention all the encouraging and good things said by the speakers; as it is, we can only mention their names. The vice-president acted as master of ceremonia. "The Garvey Ship of Liberty," was sung by the nurses. Next, the president led off with a eulogy of Mr Garvey, followed by a poem dedicated to the same gentleman rendered by Mrs Norwood Mr William Saunders.

A NEGRO TO FRANCE We have heard much in recent years of the young American intellectual who is a voluntary expatriate because he finds the civilization of the old world so much more to his taste than shirt-sleeved, coarse, and pioneering America. In L'Opinion, Paris, a letter was published the other day from one of these young men, who, it must be confessed, is a somewhat unusual specimen. His name is Norval Barkadai, he comes from Kansas City, and he is a Negro. The chief attraction of France for him is the failure to draw the color line. His letter (as translated by the Living Age, Boston) says in part "People of France, pause a moment to hear the words of a young man—an American by birth, a Negro by race, but a Frenchman by choice. * * * I am convinced that the colored peoples are to find their salvation in French civilization rather than in German culture—that is to say the kultur of the Germans, the English, and the Americana. French civilization produced Toussaint L'Ouverture, Alexander Dumman, Iteno Maran, and a host of other French writers and scholars who had colored blood in their veins. Among the Teutonic nations men of colored blood no matter how gifted and cultivated encounter nothing but obstacles and discouragements. * * * I greet the Negro of France. He knows true liberty, he knows what it is to live." More than one American Negro has found in France the quality of treatment he can never dream to get in the United States. During the war there was grave apprehension in some quarters that our Negro troops, returning home after being treated by the French exactly as though they were white should resent violently the the American attitude. That these fears proved groundless is due to the good sense of the colored soldiers, and not to any alteration of white America's point of view. It is the fashion to say that France treats black men as she does because she has never had to live in close contact with a large colored population. This situation is being modified at least to a degree. France calls to the colors about 250,000 Negro soldiers each year according to recent reports. The same number are annually released from service, and of these approximately 80,000 remain in France - The New York Globe. A Address all mail and money orders to ROYAL CHEMICAL CO. JAMAICA, N. Y.

POSTON It is not the prejudice of the white American that we fear so much as the possibility of Negroes, always ready to take the white man's view of things, becoming prejudiced against themselves. There is a tendency in this direction in some quarters, some Negroes are accepting the white man's estimate of everything—even themselves; and it is not an unusual thing to hear colored men apparently sane talking about what we can't do as a race. In nearly every case they are parrot-like, quoting what the white man says we can't do, and not what it is proven we can do after we have put forth an effort. We fear that unless a change comes over the people the Negroes of the Western World will become as much prejudiced against the natives of Africa as white men. We hear some say now that "we have lost nothing in Africa, why worry?" Such an expression is not natural.

BRITISH KEENLY INTERESTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON THE CONGO Whole Scheme of African Industrial and Commercial Future Gone Into by London Capitalists been made and surveyed run for a railway 1160 miles long connecting Leopoldville with Bukama. It is reported that the Belgian cabinet has decided to proceed with this work at once. Construction will probably be begun from the Bukama since as soon as that point has been connected with the head of navigation on the Kasa National system considerable benefits will be derived, and as the railway will pass through fertile country it is expected to tap a source of foodstuffs of which the mining zone of Katanga stands in much need. This new railway known as the Bass Congo Katanga route is a serious rival of the Benguela railway from Lobato Bay in Angola which has been at a standstill for nearly a decade. Eventually it is possible that Katanga will provide sufficient traffic to feed both lines, but at present it would seem that the Belgians are more interested in the completion of a direct route from Katanga to the sea which will be wholly within Congo territory, than in the rather shorter line to Lobato Bay, much the greater part of which will tverse the Portuguese county of Angola. It is true that the Belgian section from Taitongto Ruwan on the Lualaba is to be built in the near future but this portion is required to connect the western part of the Katanga mineral belt with the existing railway from Cape Town to Bikama. The Belgians are however bound by agreement to look up with the Portuguese section of the Benguela route as soon as the latter reaches the frontier. Congo Nile Route After the Bas Congo railway the next most important project which is under consideration is the long planned route from Stanleyville to Michigan on the west side of Lake Albert whence communication is maintained by steamer with Butiaba on the east shore (giving through connection with Lake Victoria Nyanza by means of a motorroad, steamer on Lake Koga and the Bunage railway and with Nimube on the Nile by means of river steamers). But for the war it is probable that this undertaking would now be well on the way to completion as work had been started at Stanleyville when hostilities began.

In these plans the extension of transportation facilities naturally figures very prominently. More than any other part of Africa not even excluding Egypt the Belgian Congo depends on water ways, among which the Congo river and its large tributaries such as the Changi the Welle and the Issas, provide several thousands of miles navigable by small cameras. The main river has however serious drawbacks as a means of communication. While ocean liners can ascend the estuary for nearly 100 miles to Matanzas, the real 250 miles are broken in rapids. The river falls about 1,000 feet in this distance and is quite useless as a waterway. Canalization and locking could be carried out but the rapids involved would be large and the project is not yet within the realm of practical purpose. This section is represented by a railway of only two feet a mile to Leopoldville, which however has proved quite inadequate to handle the traffic between the navigable reaches of the Congo and the ocean port. It is now being completely constructed with heavier track and easier gradients and curves from Leopoldville for over 1,000 miles. Steamers of fair size can ascend the stream to Stanleyville. From Stanleyville to Pontheville, about 80 miles, another succession of rapids interrupts navigation; but there is a metre-gauge railway between these points. From Pontheville to Kandu, 220 miles to the south the river which in its upper course is known as the Lualaba, is again navigable but from Kindu to Kongola a other metric gauge railway, 225 miles long has been built to avoid a further series of rapids. South of Kongo with Lualaba is navigable for 100 miles until the northern railroad of the South Africa railway, system reached by Bukana, 600 miles from the Town. Of this railway 442 miles are in Bogotá territory. There is one other completed railway in the Congo from Kabala on the Lualaba about 50 miles south of Kongo to Albertville on the west shore of Lake Tanganyika, which steamers run across the border. Against the termus of the Central Lugansk Railway from Dari萨 Salaham on the Indian Ocean. It was noted that by a combination of river lake at amers and railways it is possible to travel from the Congo mouth to Cape Town or to the Indian Ocean but owing to the numerous changes and the slow speed of the steamers the journey is slow, costly and tedious in either case. Influence of Katanga Mines Influence of Katanga mines The governing factor in the development of transportation facilities in the Congo in recent years has been the extraordinarily richly mineralized Katanga region, forming the southeast portion of the colony. The necessity for a practicable outlet for Katanga copper pulled the Cape to Cairo railway northwestward to the Lualaba, though it was originally intended to take it to the southern end of Lake Tanganyika, while the desire of Belgium to have a means of access to this remarkable region was responsible for the construction of the short section of railway around the unnavigable reaches of the Congo-Lualaba. Though other considerations are now making themselves felt, the need for better connections with Katanga is still one of the chief influences at work in the moulding of plans for transport improvements in Central Africa. Apart from the interruptions to navigation which break up the water route to Katanga, the Congo-Lualaba system has the further disadvantage that it is far from being direct. The river flows roughly west and southwest from Stanleyville to the head of navigation. More accurately it describes a great curve of rather more than a semi-circle, so that while from Boma at the mouth to the river to Bukama in a straight line is only about 1,050 miles, the route along the river is about 2,250 miles long. In these circumstances it is not surprising that steps are being taken to provide a less circuitous connection between the Congo estuary and Katanga. The Bas-Congo Project About 150 miles upstream from Loockville the Congo is joined by its chief southern affluent, the Kasal. This river and its tributary, the Sankuru, run much more directly towards Katanga than does the Congo itself, and they are large streams which can be ascended for hundreds of miles by river steamers. Hence, by utilising them and building a railway connecting the head of navigation with Bukama, a much shorter route to Katanga could be obtained. Even more ambitious plans have THANK YOU to the west of Lake Albert has led to a reconsideration of the route to be followed by the Congo-Nile railway, and it is possible that this will eventually reach the latter river in the neighborhood of Rejaf, instead of at Mahagit on Lake Albert. The Rejaf route would have the advantage that it would terminate on a section of the Nile that is continuously navigable to Khartoum and thereby avoid the Tola rapids, which extend for over 100 miles from Rejaf southwards to Nimule. The Stanleyville-Mahagit route is about 500 miles long, and the Rejaf route would be considerably longer. It is quite likely that neither will be built in the immediate future, particularly if the motor-roads which are being constructed in this region prove capable of dealing with the traffic requirements. Various schemes for tapping the Wale country have been put forward, but no final decision has yet been reached. A motor road 150 miles long has already been made from Buta, on the Congo some 200 miles west of Stanleyville to Bambill and another motor-road 25 miles long, is being constructed further to the north. It has been suggested that a light railway should be laid on the Buta Bimbim section and that motor-boats should be employed on the navigable streams in the region with the provision of a memorial to enable the boats to pass the rapids. A decision on this scheme will probably be reached shortly. Other railway schemes that have been proposed include the connection of Kongolo with kabalo or alternately the deviation of the kabalo end of the line to Lake Tanganyika and its propagation to Kongolo on the high ground east of the Lualaba instead of along the river valley—Times Engineering Supplement. Foreign, Commercial and Industrial Notes Foreign, Commercial and Industrial Notes BRITISH SUGAR TRADE The total value of sugar imported into the United Kingdom in 1921 was more than £23,000,000 ($112,000,000 at normal exchange), which increased to £35,000,000 ($170,000,000) in 1921. In a single year before the war Germany sold 1,000,000 tons of beet sugar to British account for the temporary discontinuance of the German sugar export trade accounts for the shift to the West Indies as the principal source of British supply. England will remain for years the chief foreign market for American sugar. The unfavorable factors affecting American trade with England have to do with national policy. One of these is imperfect preference, but there is a tendency to overestimate the influence of the British sugar market. British Guiana has enjoyed preferential years. Theoretically, the country could be made to produce enough sugar to supply the British Isles, but, as a matter of fact, the production has not increased materially and the country remains an unimportant factor in the sugar trade. The German beet-sugar industry is rapidly recovering. Production for the present year is some 200,000 tons greater than last year, although the season has been unusually dry. Experts agree that the German outfit for the next season will probably increase by 500,000 tons. The total value of sugar imported into the United Kingdom in 1913 was more than £23,000,000 ($112,000,000 at normal exchange), which increased to £35,000,000 ($170,000,000) in 1921.

IMPORTS OF FUEL INTO SENLGAL All fuel coal used in Senegal or the neighboring colonies is imported either from the United States or from Cardiff, Wales. The imports of fuel coal into Senegal in 1919 amounted to 336,549 metric tons, and in 1920 to 259,192 metric tons. The available statistics do not show the imports from the United States, but the trade is about equally divided between the United States and Cardiff. Briquets are imported from Cardiff and used for the same purposes as ordinary coal. There are two coaling companies at Dakar—Compagnie Francaise de Charbonnages de Dakar and the Société d'Approvisionnement Senegal. The first is a French company with head offices at Paris, and the second is Italian company with head offices at Genoa, Italy. There is only one other coaling station in West Africa proper, and it is located at Free town, Sierra Leone. There is little or no return cargo from West Africa north of Sierra Leone, to the United States, but from Sierra Leone south, including the mainder of the coast, vessels may obtain cargoes chiefly mahogany, coffee beans, and palm kernels and oil. The latter are seasonal shipments, being made mostly from November to May. Coal deposits have been found in Nigeria, and the coal mined has been considered of fairly good quality, but practically the whole output is consumed as fuel for the railways.

ABYSSINIAN GOAT SKINS COME THROUGH ADEN Abyssinia is the source of supply from the finest goat skins reaching the European and American markets from the Aden district. There are two chief varieties of Abyssinian skins—the Adis Ababa, or up-country skins, and the Harrar skin, the former being more highly prized because of its superior texture. The quantity of these skins seems to be unlimited, and it is only a matter of adjusting the price to bring them to the market. The skins reach Aden in the same bales as those from Somaliland—it is, 10 scores to the bale weighing from 80 to 100 pounds each. The ringing and grading is also done in the same way, and the skins run in the same proportion of primes, seconds and thirds as those from Somaliland. A typical selection would contain Primes (perfect skins over 1¼ pounds, average 1½ to 1¼ pounds), 35 to 40 per cent, second perfect skins under 1¼ pounds), 45 to 50 per cent, thirds (kids and prefect skins) 10 to 20 per cent. The present price (February 1, 1922) per score of such a selection of Adis Ababa goat skins is 25 rupees, as compared with 62 rupees in 1919. If a pre-war price of 25 to 30 rupees, Harrar goat skins selling at 25 rupees for score, as compared with 60 rupees in 1919 and 20 rupees in pre-war years. (The normal value of the rupee is 48.6 cents, but present change is quoted at about 28 cents.)

MARKET FOR RUBBER GOODS IN HAYTI Business in Hayti is practically restricted to the utmost necessities of life. For a country of 2,000,000 people, it has a remarkably small purposing power, not greatly exceeding that of a town of 10,000 inhabitants in the United States. For the purposes of this report, the United States military forces are not considered, as all their purchases are made through government channels. In September, 1921, there were 603 passenger cars and 58 trucks in Hayti, about 45 of the latter belonging to the United States military forces. American made tires are the only ones in use. The small inchier sizes predominate, while in the larger sizes cords are preferred and grey inner tubes enjoy an equal preference. The few roads in Haiti have a very poor binder and are full of large stones, which ruin the side walls of a tire. The number of tires per car consumed per year is estimated by dealers to be nine. Fabric casings and seven for cords. Tires are imported by manufacturers' agents, who are usually also general import and export merchants, and also by the garages. These dealers sell to car owners direct. Terms are practically always cash against documents in New York City. All of the privately-owned trucks are equipped with solid tires, out half of those belonging to the military authorities are on aeronautics. Of the twelve motorcycles in Haiti, all are of American make. There are fewer bicycles, though several of itish make have recently been imported. The American single tube bicycle tire is in general use, being imported by retail hardware dealers and notion tires. Possibly a thousand solid rubber-tired carriages are in the country, their equipment of tires being imported from the United States by retail hardware dealers. The only establishments using mechanical rubber goods are one sugar plant, a few primitive aerated water factories and the silk works. Such small quantities as are shipped into Haiti come orders direct from the United States. The population of Haiti is made up to a large extent of illiterate groves, whose need for clothing is limited to a single or two-piece fabric and a pair of sandals made of native leather. Besides, other conditions in Haiti are such that water-proof clothing, even among the educated classes, is seldom necessary. The rainy season consists of a sharp shower between 6 and 10 o'clock at night, usually about an hour. The result is that the people rarely provide really weather, merely waiting until the shower is over to contend their affairs. The educated Haitian does not, as a rule, engage in sports, so that the canvas rubber sole shoe is not favored. Small trade in raincoats, light goloshes and rubber heels is handled by retail merchants, who import through commission houses in New York, cash against documents. The American monopoly in supplying the native demand for these goods does not extend to medical supplies of rubber, which is from France because of a preferential treaty reduction in imprinted 33 per cent, which is understood to be granted on each product of this sort, as well as to a native preference for these goods for personal use.

The fast-returning German merchants in Haiti are bringing the country a quantity of chean rubber specialties at a price so low as to prohibit American competition Quality rubber specialties of American make are imported in very small quantities by local retail importers. NEW CUSTOM TARIFF FOR NEW GUINEA A new schedule of import for the Australian Government for the year has been issued. There have been free goods, principally building carry practically the same duties than Government with the Government at port. Export duties arose shell in the form of pearl, teal pigeons. While the former restrictions of the territory when shipped either than in British bottoms, applies only to unexpropriated plantations of New Guinea, a custodian of expropriated property. PROPOSED EXEMPTION JAM In order to increase the comp government proposes to introduce all countries the same exemption dues as is now granted to certain Can vessels. A new schedule of import and export duties as levied by the Australian Government for the mandate territory of New Guinea has been issued. There have been a few additions to the list of duty free goods, principally bunding materials, but the dutiful goods carry practically the same duties as formerly collected by the German Government with the German marks converted to pounds sterling at port. Export duties are imposed on copra trepang tortoise shell in the form of pearl, feathers of birds of paradise and crown pigeons. While the former restrictions on the exportation on the produce of the territory when shipped elsewhere than to Australia and in other than in British bottoms, have been removed, the relaxation applies only to unexpropriated produce. The greater portions of the plantations of New Guinea are still, however, in the hands of the custodian of expropriated property. PROPOSED EXEMPTION FROM HARBOR DUES IN JAMAICA In order to increase the commercial importance of Jamaica the government proposes to introduce a bill extending to vessels from all countries the same exemption from harbor timage and light dues as is now granted certain Canadian Australian and New Zealand vessels.

Vanilla, cloves, pepper coffee, rubber, shellac, graphite, hides, skins and glue stuffs are imported into the United States from French colonies. This exhibition will also appeal to Americans interested in rice, sugar, jute, lemp, camphor, licorice and straw braids. The importance of the Marseilles vegetable oil, peanut, palm nut, and soap trades is based on its colonial imports. Valuable information relative to opportunities for investment of capital in the development of the French national colonial resources might also be obtained at this exhibition. BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE OVINGTON Civilization in the United States An Inquiry by Thirty Americans Published by Harold E Stearns Published by Harcourt Brace & Co. New York City Price $5 Postage 20 cents extra. This ponderous volume is made up of thirty essays on various phases of life in America. It is the essay on Racial Minorities that we want to consider. The essay is written by Gerald Tanquary Robinson, a Virginian by birth at present a member of the editorial staff of the Freeman. He opens his article as follows. In America the race problem is not only without answer it is even without formulation. In the face of ordinary economic, political and religious difficulties people habitually formulated creeds which give a kind of rhyme or rason to their actions, but where inter-racial relations are concerned the leaders are pussyfooting all around the fundamental question, while the emotions of the masses translate themselves into, and action back into emotion, with less consideration of means and ends than one expects of the maddest bomb thrower. This is an enlistening beginning and Mr. Robinson keeps up our appreciative interest to the end of his thirty pages. His racial minorities incl de the Negro, the Indian, the Jew and the Aslatic. He has no solution of the Negro question, but he does give a few important conclusions. That the inherent inferiority of any human race has never been established by historical, biological or psychological evidence. That economic competition is an important factor in race prejudice. That an improvement in the economic and social condition of a minority race does not prepare the way in race fusion, but has just the opposite effect. That the race problem has probably never been solved by a direct attack upon it. That as a separate problem it seems inalible in the United States. There is an interesting comparison between the United States treatment of the Indian and the Negro. We have often been told that the Negro was naturally more submissive than the Indian who refused to be a slave, but Robinson points out that the settler in the United States wanted land from the Indian rather than labor. "If the early white settlers had no desired, they of course, could have enslaved a considerable portion of the Indian population just as the Spaniards did in regions farther to the southward. However, the American chose to drive the Indians inland and to replace them in certain regions with African tribesmen who in their native state had been perhaps as warlike as the Indians themselves. Thus, in the natural course of events, the African warrior was lost in the slave while the Indian chief continued to be the military opponent rather than the economic servant of exploitation, and eventually gained romantic interest by virtue of this fact." Government interference and standardized schools, however, are fast destroying that which was picturesque in Indian civilization. Of California's treatment of the Japanese we hear that: "At bottom the spirit of the California land laws is more than a little like that of a Georgia lynching." Of the Jewish racial minority, the writer thinks race prejudice comes largely from jealousy of the Jew as a competitor and he points to the increase from 1500 000 in 1904 to 300 000 in 1918 in the Jewish population. The whole book with its authors is a severe arraignment of utilization in the United States. ADRIAN JOHNSON SPEAKS TO MIAMI AUDIENCE Miami! Florida April 16. Adm. Johnson of the Universal Negro Improvement Association speaks after a large colored audience said. The members of this great Association did not derive social equity in the races, as an absurd but futile effort be the accomplishments of great even as white people have done finding a Nation for Negroes in Africa. Those who are opposed to our pigs are the hoist straighteners and bleachers who want to be white and do not think that Negroes can do such as will reflect credit on the race. Miami.

WOOD ON HIS TOUR Mr Wood the Under Secretary for the Colonies returned to this country on Tuesday from his tour in the West Indies. In the course of an interview on his arrival at Plymouth Mr Wood said. We have been in the West Indies at a time of great economic difficulty owing partly to general trade conditions and to the sugar question on which the West Indies so largely MANATI DIVISION.

This is owed upon by some of our members as a great light and made them believe that our efforts here are not appreciated at headquarters. It also tends to weaken the courage of some and may tend to create in the minds of our visitors. That is and other reasons the thought that we didn't appreciate their assistance and so didnt For instance, we recently had two visits from the Hon E V Harves, H C for Cuba, who rendered valuable services. Same was reported and not a word of it came out in the paper, while at the same time we noticed no less than three reports in the same issue of the paper where he had written a letter from Professor A.

Imperience was impressed upon Mr. Wood of doing everything possible to make the connection between the West Indies and the Mother and more easy and more direct by wireless, by catches and by stitching. The people were rather apt to feel that they were a long way from England, isolated, and did not always get the attention from the mother country that they would like to have.

The economic question at present no doubt looms the largest. As to that I am satisfied that the annuement made by the Imperial government as to the continuance of the existing preference for a period of ten years will do a great deal to assist and restore confidence and with a general turn of trade the West Indies will win through.
