TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES MAN—AS WE KNOW HIM FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: I have chosen to write to you today on the subject "Man," because I believe it necessary to bring home to the four hundred million members of our race the truer consciousness of self which cannot be truly appreciated except by a thorough knowledge of the individual whom God has created in his own image. When I say Man I do not mean the animal who moves along dressed up in the latest style or fashion, but I mean the individual whose character, whose consciousness of self is of such as to make him truly a Lord of Creation. In the 1,500,000,000 human souls in the world I hardly believe that we can find 5,000 real men; that is to say, the individuals who know themselves, feel the truer consciousness of self, knowing their possibilities and their limitations It is not everybody who moves around that is a real man. Man is the individual who is able to shape his own character, master his own life, and shape his own destiny. When God breathed into the nostrils of man the breath of life, made him a living soul and bestowed upon him the authority of Lord of Creation. He never intended that that individual should descend to the level of a peon, a serf, or a slave; but that he would be always man in the fullest possession of his senses and with the truest knowledge of himself. But how changed has man been since the creation! We find him today divided into different classes, the helpless, imbecile class, the dependent, sycophantic class, the slave class, the servant class and the master class. These different classes God never created. He created Man, but individual has retrograded so auto-make it impossible to find him. It is so difficult to find a real man. As far as our race goes I hardly believe that we can find one hundred real men who are able to measure up to the higher purpose of the creation. It is because of this lack of real manhood in us as a race why we have stagnated for several centuries and now find ourselves at the foot of the great human ladder The Supremacy of Man The cry of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is for real men, men of character, men of courage, men of confidence, men of faith, men who believe that all creation is but the domain of man, and that above men there is no authority but God. When the Creator created His masterpiece Man and placed him in the world as lord of His creation it was meant that man should establish sovereignty over the world, that he should subdue all things and use them to his own satisfaction and shape them to his own will. God never intended that man should expect Him to do for him that which he should do for himself. After the creation, and after man was given possession of the world, the Creator relinquished all authority to His lord that which was spiritual. All that authority that meant the regulation of human affairs, human society, and human happiness was arrogated to man by the Creator, and man therefore became master of his own destiny, architect of his own fate. In process of time we find that only a certain type of man has been able to make good in God's creation. We find them building nations, governments and empires, as also great monuments of commerce, industry and education. These men, realizing the power given to them, exerted every bit of it to their own good and to their posterity's. While on the other band, four hundred millions of us who claim the common Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man have fallen back so completely as to make us today the serfs and slaves of those who fully know themselves, and have taken control of the world as given to us all by the Creator. What the Universal Negro Improvement Association desires to do is to impress upon the four hundred million members of our race that our failings in the past, as well as the present and the future, will be through our failure to know ourselves and to realize the true functions of man on this mundane sphere. Fleeting Opportunities For man to know him is for him to feel that for him there is no human master for him. Nature is his servant, and that whatsoever he wills in nature that shall be his WE KN HAVE WE TEN REMEMBERS IN THE NEGRO RACE? IT IS NOT EVERYBODY WHO MOVES AROUND WHAT IS A REAL MAN MEN OF CHARACTER, MEN OF COURAGE, MEN OF CONFIDENCE, MEN WHO KNOW THEMSELVES WANTED reward. If he wills to be pigny or a slave, that shall he be. If he wills to be a real man, possession of the things common to man, then he shall be his own sovereign. When man fails to grasp his authority, the sinks to the level of the lower animals, and what soever the real man bids him do, even as if it were of the lower animals, that much shall he do. That is to say, there are some of us men (I mean as far as the human form is cor- cerneal) who are, in our relationship to others, not better than the lower animals, because to us if the real man say go, two or if he says come, we come. By his command we perform the functions of life, even as by a similar command the horse, the cow, the dog perform the will of their man- dred years been in the position of them, and because of that we have developed but few men who are ably to understand the strenuousness of the age in which we live. I am sorry to admit it, but nevertheless it is true. I hardly believe that we can find ten real men in this race of ours. I repeat, men of character, men of purpose, men of confidence, men of faith, men who really know themselves. I have come across so many weaklings who profess to be leaders and in the test I have found them but slaves of a higher class who perform the will of their masters without question. To me a man has no master but God. Man in his authority is sovereign to God. As for the individual man, so of the individual race; the individual race has no master but God; all men are to them equal; there is no superior. This feeling makes man so courageous, so bold as to make it impossible for his brother to intrude upon his rights. How few of us can understand what it takes to make a man; the man who will never say die; the man who will never give up; the man who will never depend upon others to do for him what he ought to do for himself; the man who will not blame God, who will not blame Nature, who will not blame fate for his condition, but the man who will go out and make conditions to suit him. Oh, how disgusting life becomes when on every hand you hear people who bear your image, who bear your resemblance, telling you that they cannot make it, that fate is against them, and that they cannot get a chance! Ah! it is painful to contemplate, when the real man knows that God gave him all the chances necessary when He gave Creation, when He gave life. What more can we expect? Everything we see in nature has been given to us by God for our own pleasure, for our own use, for our own happiness, and yet man says he cannot make it. How cowardly, how incompetent, how thoughtless, how weak! And what is the difference between man—the one that towers as a giant above the other who, like a pigmy, wallows in the gutter? Because the giant man, after discovering himself, utilizes every ounce of his vitality and every particle of his entire being to reach out to the higher things that are within the reach of man. That is to say, he hangs his hopes, he pins his confidence as high as human limitations, that limitation that has been set only by God Himself; in the exercise of his will, that inner set character goes out to achieve, to conquer, to subdue all those things that are possible to man. The other fellow, characterless, because of himself; inconsident, because of himself; hopeless, because of himself; determines that it cannot be done, therefore will not try. No will, no mental force, no spiritual power, even though he was created with all these things, will he exert. If four hundred million Negroes can only get to know themselves, to know that in them is a sovereign power, is an authority that is absolute, then in the next twenty-four hours we would have a new race, we would have a new nation, we would have a great empire resurrected not from the will of others to see us rise, but from our own determination to rise, irrespective of what the world thinks. Men and women of the Negro race, can you not get such a determination within you? Can you not realize that God Almighty created you to be real men, and not pigmies, not serfs, not underlings? Can you not realize God never created a superior man but you? Can you not realize you are the reflection of your own creator and that you were created in His image, and that when you accept of a superior being you admit that there is no superior God? If you bear the image of your Creator, then God is made manifest in you, and if you accept a superior being, you accept an insult to the God that is within you. God is only pleased with man when he measures up to the higher spirituality that is in him, which is no other than God Himself. When man reduces himself to become the slave and lackey of his fellow, he drags down the Spiritual Omnipotence of God in him. Fundamental Social Laws! If we could but understand ourselves the more as others seem to do, we would in a short time find ourselves living in a new world, surrounded with new conditions and enjoying new pleasures. Let those of us who have the ambition for leadership first study to know how much confidence we have in ourselves, because there can be no leadership where there is no confidence. Around me I see many petty men who think they know, who think that they are great, when in truth they have not yet discovered themselves. I have seen them smart under the stare of the white than I have seen them tremble under the verbal attack of the enemy. I have seen them atmous with charge or the oppressive selves leaders. Whither leadest thou? To me it is out to perdition, to another age of darkness, of slavery, of racial destruction. We, I say, want men of courage, men of character, men of conviction, who are not afraid to stand up at any time, even in the face of death, even confronting the lion in his den, there willing to suffer anything for the rights that are dear to this race of ours. A Cabinet of Brains! I hope the forthcoming convention will give us such men, men whom we can safely send out to the four corners of the world, and have them defend this race of ours; men whom we can count upon as being able to withstand the test of the leaders of the other races of the world. Amohg the men in the world that I admire are such noble characters as David Lloyd George and Arthur J. Balfour of England, Clemenceau, Briand and Poincare of France; Ishi and Kato of Japan; Lenine and Trotsky of Russia; Gandhi of India; Griffith, Collins and De Valera of Ireland; Hughes, Harding and Wilson of America. In vain do I look for such characters in the Negro race, and I have not been able to place them! Let us now look forward to our Third International Convention with the hope of finding real men who are able to measure up to the expectations of the day. How You Can Help! You will help the Universal Negro Improvement Association to lift this race of ours by your moral and financial support to the cause. Now more than ever you should stick by this great organization and give us the necessary financial help to put over this big program. Now is the time to subscribe to the African Redemption Fund or to the Convention Fund, so as to supply the organization with the necessary credit to in every detail carry out the great work that has been planned. The convention this year will call for the expenditure of large sums of money, in that many important delegations are to be sent abroad to interview the different Governments of Europe and the League of Nations in the interest of the race, as well as many statutory legislations are to be put into effect which will entail much expense.

FAMOUS MISSION SCHOOL IN AFRICA GRADUATES FIRST CLASS The Reverend E. H. Greeley, Methodist Missionary to Old Umtali, Rhodesia, Tells of Four Negro Graduates Receiving Full Rights Under British Government The first graduating class from the Central Training School at Old Umlaut Rhodesia, the largest mission station and industrial training school maintained by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States, will all of by the Board of Foreign Missions of that place just returned. Mr. Gentry has been at old Umlaut school as a member of the faculty and as evangelist in the outlying territory for the past thirty three years, and has witnessed the slow but steady progress of the mission work there. The Training School at Old Luntan was founded in its more elementary department as far back as 1900 said Mr Greeley, and was enlarged and higher courses put in 1914. In the early days the natives about us were in the rawest stages of heathenism, having had hardly any contact with civilization and possessed of none of the knowledge necessary to earn a successful livelihood from the soil. Then it was most rare to see a single Negro wearing even a shirt in addition to his loin cloth. These people many of them of a higher standard of intelligence by nature, were in the grip of the witch doctors who had developed a set of superstititions based on fear of disease and the malignity of the spirits of the departed. These men practiced a crude mummery against the spirits and knew practically nothing of the simplest medicines. They taught that if a child cut its upper teeth first it was cursed by the spirits and must be cast into the jungle to die or else that it was a sign of malice to punish that the infirmities of age were induced by the malevolence of the spirits and the presence of aged attracted the hatred of demons. Old people sick and asking we driven into the jungle to be enten by wild beasts to be punished of thirst or hunger. These people died out in each case by the crudest means of farming without plows using it, a short-handed how to break the soil. This was back breaking labor and the soil capable of yielding excellent crops rewarded their toll in the smallest way. The little round huts of one room were made of poles plastered with mud, no windows, only a low door through which the members of the family could climb but a wardry race and light all they know, and read|tells of|brings off the|bags want Our mission work had to deal with practically everything fundamental in the lives of these folk. Through our mission doctor many native were housed of sickness and infection in a way that was marvelous, to them. Gradually the prejudice against us as newcomers and the opposition of the watch doctors was overcome. A few of our black neighbors became Christians and we started to help them in better methods of living and in how to raise a better life, out of the soil. That is one thing that is essential to successful mission work—to take care of the Christians and help them advance in material as well as spiritual things to a standard where they can surround themselves with enough necessities to allow them to control their lives in ways of morality and decency. "The school of Old Uttall has become one of the most potent influences in the life of the black native of that vicinity for development of his latent powers of mind and management. The mission was started by the Heverend Dr. Morris W. Ehnes, then a new missionary, now treasurer of the Corinthian on Conservation and Advance, in charge of the $100 000 000 Centenary movement of this denomination Bishop Hurtler of Africa obtained from the British Government an indebted tenure of 13 000 acres of tract land with a dozen small brick buildings, which had once been the town of Uttall before it was moved to the railroad line. This area was too large to manage then as all but 3 000 acres was turned back to the government in exchange for farms of that size at Weya, Mutambara, and smaller plots elsewhere. In this way the foundation was laid for a vast system of agricultural schools and demonstration farms, through which the natives could be taught the means of earning a decent living. Instead of their scanty one, from the rich soil. In the years that have passed literally hundreds of thousands of black men and women, young and mature, have come to these schools, learned to read and write their own language and English, learned to do all the household things that are so simple to the people of America and Europe, but are great mysteries to uncivilized people however bright they might be. Many of these people learned fast. And everyone who learned a few things wanted to go back and teach his people. In this way simple learning of all kinds spread rapidly. The use of the white man's farming implements spread far and wide. Young men who attended our schools went home and built square houses, with windows and doors of sun-dried brick, with chimneys and fireplaces; earned money in various ways and stocked their homes with clothes, and portraits of one kind or another. They could work as carpenters, as farm hands on big plantations, as craftsmen, as hardmen, and other employees goodly to adorn them. William Goddard Uttall is a great center of native life and culture. With about twenty-five white indentations in its A Hardy Race and women totalling at all times about one hundred each a hundred native teacher-pastors in as many outlines stations where farming, reading and Christianity are taught every day to eager groups. There are many native teachers scattered about the country for stores of miles in all directions attended by 5,000 Christians and thousands of others who are likely to be come so at any time. The Central Training School at headquarters is steadily growing. There are classes in domestic science, laundry work, hygiene, and a dozen other rudimentary things for the women, in addition to their instruction from books. For the men there is instruction in every branch of farm work, seed selection, plowing, harrowing, planting, harvesting, storage crop rotation, dairy work and animal husbandry, carpentry furniture making, brickmaking and laying, etc. The men there are taught how to grow and harvest broom corn, make the tufts into brooms for the local market which is good, and there are other such special work to make sure that every native Christian can and will enter into the new scheme of things with a trade of some kind that will raise him to a level in proportion to his increased requirements because of education and conversion. And what is the result? The old superstitions are doomed. Children are not so often killed or cast away if they cut their lower teeth first, or for other such superstitions. Old people whose sons and daughters are christians and earning a good living are not sent out into the jungle to die but are cared for and in slackness get the care of the mission doctor. Yes thergs are different in Rhodeia about Old Imitali and its outstations at Mutumabra Moko Mrewa, Odai and others today. Some of these stations are fifty miles away so one can understand how widespread is our influence. I fancy the government knew what it was doing when it let us have that land. We are building up the black folk into economically fit, self-respecting citizens, law-abiding and dependable. the students want the we added higher courses at the home school up to about the sixth form, and gave the teachers instruc- tion at intervals. Now we have our first graduating class at work after finishing all we could give them last spring. There are only four of them, for others felt they had to go back to their people and it still again before continuing to the end. But from now on we will have a few graduates each year. The graduates are Jonas Mangjengan David Mandisolao, Oblidiah Chimonjo and Jamaica Martio. These men are from four different tribes and are magnifent types of men in their Christian lives and the leadership they command among their people. They are all in the service of the mission as teacher-pastors in important centers. The government of Rhodesia gave them an examination and awarded them a certificate which allows them free passage anywhere without a written pass such as other natives must carry when they travel, according to the colonial law. This means they have achieved citizenship in the white man's regime. Mandisolao has been made a deacon in the Rhodesia Mission Conference and entrusted to a most difficult post by unanimous consent. These men are the highest individual products of our mission work. But we have young men and women educated at our mission schools all over South Africa. There are so many in Johannesburg that we had to send a missionary down there to take care of their spiritual life. He has mission teaching going on in sixty-three min- AGENTS.

Numerous public men in Washington and other parts of this country have received the pamphlet, which is about as frank and unblushing an avowal of Suzuki's particular school of Japanese thought as has crossed the Pacific. Pivot of Jap Diplomacy The booklet opens with a chapter entitled "Bidding the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Farewell." Suzuki refers to its "glorious end" and says it has "perfectly fulfilled its mission by preserving the peace of humanity and acting as the pivot of Japan's diplomacy in the last twenty years." The Japanese stateman then intimates that the twenty-year partnership with the British Empire having vastly enhanced Japanese prestige and Japan's national consciousness, must inevitably be supereded throughout the world by a new attitude toward the "colored races" on the part of "white civilization." Suzukui reasoning develops from what purports to be a treatise entitled "The Future of the British Empire" He is pleased to think Britain a imperial future is imperiled jointly by "American competition" and by the longing for independence on the part of the British Empire's subject races "Anglo-American friendship," the Japanese M P declares, "is built on sand.

I have my own world affairs. Numerous public arts of this country have received the bank and unblushing an avowal of japanese thought as has crossed the British Empire to liberate its oppressed colored subject races and is bound to be read by many Britsheras suggesting that Japan is ready to help India achieve liberation. Suzuki says The world especially the white nations, hoped to create a material heaven, and through such means and agencies to satisfy their desires. The few financial magnates and those in law search the four seas in quest of satiating their material desires, even by sacrificing the interests of another race. Such cases are seen in China, the South Seas, India, Africa and both Americans, where the inferior colored races are oppressed and squeezed of what wealth there is in their parts. These gains are carried home to the various exploiting countries and serve to satisfy the wants of the minority. This satiation is called national progress and social betterment. An Occurred Civilization Such a civilization of the white man or any man, must be accustomed. From such a misled civilization from such a mistaken system, what results can be realized even if an association of nations be formed? It is an era of confusion of beliefs and exhaustion of principles. With the application of intelligent study we have to abolish the present form of international competition and build a new international order which may lend us to virtue, to justice and peace. When Grant Britain cast aside her white man's common shortcomings—racial prejudices—and entered into an alliance with Japan, an exponent of the yellow race, she rendered great service to the peace of the world and the happiness of peoples. It was considered as an eventful sign by the 1.100 000 000 colored people of the world. The Anglo-Japanese alliance shed new light and hope on the colored nations, which comprise two-thirds of the population of the globe Abandon Dream "The white race should by all means abandon its dream of controlling the world. Whatever may be the greatness of the mentality of white men, whatever may be the superiority of their intelligence, they cannot run counter to the laws of nature and the will of Providence. "We can think of no country other than Great Britain that will lead the the world in solving her social problem and that will apply the principles to the world, overthrowing her white prejudice and sentiment to bring about the happiness of all human beings. "When Great Britain has brought about such an evolution I believe the Anglo-American competition centered in economic interests will pass away as a dream and no more remain a shadow over the world." marijuana and Haitian we are all the sons of Africa.

Here's Leona Williams and Her Dixie Band The Hon. Marus Curvey paid a visit to Pittsburgh on the twelfth and thirteenth of April. He received a hearty welcome from the members of all the divisions in and around Pittsburgh. The People's Tabernacle was opened to greet the delighted members active and otherwise. The program was short and attractive, and the Juveniles of the Woodlawn Division acquitted themselves in a pleasing manner. of Pittsburgh Division No. 51, acting as master of ceremonies, introduced, as the first speaker of the evening, Mr Robert F Douglas, editor of The Pittsburgh American who delivered the welcome address in a very harmless and attractive manner. The reply to the welcome address was made by the Rev J W Jarvis, of Brown Chapel, who indeed captivated the audience with his eloquence. The honor of introducing the speaker of the hour was conferred upon the Rev J C Austin, pastor of the Elmoreza Baptist church who in his usual social and entertaining manner did full justice to our visitor. His Excellency arises with a well-balanced pulse, coupled with coolness and sublimity, taking his audience to the mountain tops, in mental spheres above the common thoughts of selfishness and placing his audience upon the shores of hope based upon work and forceight. His address was thoughtful and reasonable, his projectiles at no time fell short, he was able to convince his audience upon the necessity of a universal negro cooperation. Too much praise can not be given to the elevation of his standpoint, and the transcendent faculties by which he is endowed compel mountains to be molehills. It is no wonder that his contemporaries show him reverence. It is said that true mastery is compact of supreme qualities. That it must include heroism culture enthusiasm faith, intelligence, endurance and unconquerable will. These are the qualities that the Hon Marcos Garvey has within him. His scope of vision is broad, he thinks in advance of his age with lofty ideas based with the realm of human reason and energy. On the night of the thirteenth he spoke at Liberty Hall to a fair audience and he was able to explain the Universal Negro Improvement Association from its foundation up. This was done in a very simple manner and all who were present gained food for thought. The U. N. I.

The two brothers will bring with them an entire new show written and produced by them, and staged by Nathen Cash. The story of the play, "Small Town Doin'," is as follows. Small Town is a little town in the Middle West, populated by Negroes, Indians and Mexicans. Lem Loe has been elected mayor and is meeting with the usual opposition. Pedro, a half-breed Mexican, has betrayed Pocahontas. He then falls in love with Marie, the sweetheart of Sam Jackson.

Eagle Eye in revenge, kidnaps Marie and is followed by the soldiers. The Indiana fortify themselves in the hills. During the battle Pocahontas is stabbed by Pedro who, in return, kills Pedro who is battling with Sam' Marie is rescued unharmed, and all ends well "Small Town Doin'" is thickly populated with catchy tunes and whistling songs. Facts About Samuel Johnson's Black Servant Brought to Light President of American Negro Academy Brings Out Wealth of Historical Information on Secretary to England's Great Literary Genius By ARTHUR SCHOMBURG A well known autograph collector has placed on public sale a number of letters "written by Francis Barber, Dr Johnson's black servant, and his residuary legatee." We are much concerned with the first letter to Boswell numbered 23 and quoted at twenty one pounds, or in American movies at $102 a sheet of paper. 14 quarto dated Lichheld, July 9, 1787 another letter about Johnson's journey to Chatsworth 14 quarto is quoted at thirty dollars and the third one small quarto page dated Bott's journal, 1782 is quoted at twenty dollars. Very few race persons know an thing about the Barker. He except the limited few who have preached or read their Beowulf. It would be surmount on my part to try and tell the readers who was the master of Barker Buffner for me to say, if was Samuel Johnson and the man himself of any one can read the famous expression of a Bawell for a Johnson. In fact it is unpardonable for any one with a knowledge of the English language not to know of Dr Johnson and of a Negro lacking an endeavor of Francis Barker a reflection of the manner and method he acquires raca knowledge. We cannot go further to the matter without bringing to the notice of the readers two persons with identical names and prominent in the history of England but who are usually the ones they have taken one for the other or for each other.

His advised purpose is calling to Guinea to be toize by stratagem and force and carry away the unsuspecting natives in the view of setting them as slaves to the people of Hippanolia. In the pursuit his object was present profit and his employment and pastime devastation and murder. In giving an account of his failures to Queen Elizabeth who all knighted him he quoted the trait, doth plain. Apollo did not mate but God gave the increase to which the Queen exclaimed to death. The two men went to a soldier and has some time a divine. His subsequent prairal excursions show him left Ban Juan Porto Rio on November 12, 1995 where a watered grave was his end after the unpleasant age. Now another Sir John Hawkins was born during the year 1519, a writer on music and executor and biographer of Sir Johnson. Many writers are wont to infuse the latter with the former Sir John Hawkins who was killed off Porto Rico was born during 1532, and could not possibly be alive to have exclaimed from the deck of his corsair how damnable it was for Dr Samuel Johnson to have left by his will all property to his Negro amanuensis Francis Barber There is a lapse of nearly 280 years between them. The story won't square. We are indebted to Alcyn Lyall Reader for Johnnian Cleanings Part II Francis Barker published in England in which we reviewed in scholarly breadth and unusual good judgment the doctor's Negro servant and which no person interested in the further displacement of the race should be to measure overlook. Francis Barber was born in slavery at Jamaica in the British West Indies and brought to England in 1750—a fertile spot for producing many Negroes whose names have stood for something everlasting in the history of the Negro race—Gudson Johnson Post William Handmaster Fraser of the Coldstream Guards Richard Hill Gordon Jordon and Other. Francis Barber ingratiated himself in the heart of England's greatest old man by kindness humility and benevolence. That he could not have done otherwise is attested by his will at his death. We have had right here in America numberless slaves whose fidelity and love made their name with mammals a synonymous for goodness all over the North and South Americas and this contribution to the peace of mind is characteristically African. Even ad THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 "ALL-WHITE" AUSTRALIAN POLICY ABANDONED (Special to the Negro World) LONDON, Eng. April 23—Mon. H Bassam, Prime Minister of South Australia, who recently grewed much public attention by declaring the relaxation of Australia's "All White" policy was essential for development in certain parts of the country, is just about to leave for the continent. In a recent letter to "The Times" he supports his pre- vious declarations, and declares he is convinced that if colored labor is taken into Australia under the indenture system, there will not be the slightest difficulty in confining them to the tropical areas. The population, he said, has decreased by 25 per cent. during the past 20 years, owing to its "pure whites" policy verally makes the people skin and bounty in hope for the coming of the cloud with a lighter ring. When Johnson realised that his death was a question of time he carefully prepared for the carrying out of the provisions of his will to protect Francis Barber when he had promised to remunerate after his death one of his ex-servants Sir John Hawkins who was bitterly opposed to the last tribes of Sir Johnson and found many ways to express his disgust with the matter in his hands. Even while gagging out the provisions of the will be and he is familiar found ways to express with a certain their rank prejudice to the be a man even implying that the white woman he had married was of no concern as could be noted in the bible. In the light and dark competitions stirring their parternity Not understanding the attacks Francis Barber came in possession of his master's legacy even the fifteen guinea gold watch which Sir John Hawkins wanted have as a keepsake but forced to digge on the part of the other justice. Francis Barber's picture was painted by the famous Joshua Reynolds and the reproduction can be seen in Mr Reade's book already noted. In order that the ast word in the ready difficult sea of trouble relating to Francis Barber may have added seet this autograph letter No. 22 is a piece in justification against the untrue assertions cast upon the memory of his master. We print that part of the letter which Messrs Maggs Brothers of London have brought to light for this poor black man to defend himself. Agreeable to your request with a heart full of joy and gratitude, I take pen in hand to inform you that I am happy to find there is still remaining a friend who has the memory of my late good master at heart that he will endeavor to vindicate his cause in opposition to the unfriend' proceedings of his enemies as I am incapable to undertake such ask. The aspersions Sir John has thrown out against my master, as having been his own murderer, are entirely groundless as also his assertion concerning Mr. Heley's applying to me for relief. He never did, neither was he anyways allied to my master but by having been married to a distant relative of his, who has been long dead notwithstanding which my master never withdrew his friendship but was always very kind to him. We can look back to the day when Montsahon of Paris instituted his famous prizes for those who every year by sacrifice or fortitude were willing to be benefactors to humanity. The negro race has given the world many of these noble examples and in Francis Barber we have another precious stone added to the diadem of our contribution to the sum total of making-like Barber did by his services to Dr Johnson - the world a better place for all to live in peace and harmony I may end this short paper with the sentiment when Mr. Read wrote for me in the copy of his book. NEGRO BUSINESS HOUSE ENDOWS CHAIR AT HOWARD NEGRO BUSINESS HOUSE ENDOWS CHAIR AT HOWARD WASHINGTON, D. C. April 20—Perhaps the most inspiring indication of the trend of thought among Negro business men is the decision of the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, t. Durham, N. C., to provide a stipulated salary for establishing a chair of insurance at Howard University. This action, which was conveyed to Dr J Stanley Durkee, president of the Howard University, by Mr C. C. Spaulding, secretary-treasurer of the insurance company sets a precedent for Negro business organizations. For a long time many white business firms have endowed various chairs in educational institutions looking to a more thorough preparation of men for their particular fields, but this is the first time, as far as can be learned, that a Negro business house has made such a gift. In accepting the offer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the secretary treasurer of the Howard University was requested to convey to the company on behalf of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, the grateful thanks of the university The Howard University is planning to make effective use of the offer in its enlarged program for its School of Commerce and Finance. The generous and thoughtful offer made by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company will permit of greater concentration in this important department of the work of this school and will open up the possibility of even larger service for the university in preparing adequately trained man in the field of insurance HISTORY OF THE EMANCIPATION IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS By ARTHUR A. SCHOMBURG President American Negro Academy When a boy I remember having beard from the type of an amiable and fatherly and black man, the sexual of the borrow practiced by the slave owner. He related with precision details the incidents leading up to and surrounding the early life of the Negro remembered. Buddha which history in an obscure manner has chronicled in her pages, though not with justice and admiration yet in the eyes of the patriots his name is immortal and around him cluster the tentacles of fame hence mention of praise and honor There is a small island in the Caribbean that called Saint Croix, discovered by Columbia during the second voyage on the 10th of November. It is a picturequeque fascinating and healthful haven for those who crave respite from the strenuous life of modern life. It is a land in common with Saint Thomas and main John are possesses in belonging to the United States of America in purchase from the Irish nation. The claves that were brought from Africa numbered some 31,000, and to reduce them on bondage and compel them to work in indigenous measures it was he and story as set forth by Maracuay. In all the islands the mas ter may legally imprison his slave in all the islands he may legally flog him and in some of the islands he may legally flog him at his discretion. It was in the city of Christianaest that A exander Hamilton, one of the illustrious pillars that founded and dedicated the American commonwealth to posterity served his citizenship before emigrating to America. It was also here West End where, in 1867, the 11 B Monongabela was driven ashore during an earthquake. John Buddhoe later called General Bourdeaux was born on a plantation in the interior of Saint Croix in the year 1510. His father was the driver of all the slaves in the estate "La Grange" thus occupying the relative position of a free man. This made it possible for him to keep his son from the torrid cane fields. At an early age the son was apprenticed to the cooperes of the estate (for it must be remembered that in those days sugar was made by the windmill process and shipped in home-made hogsheads). At seventeen years of age Buddhoe was a journeyman, and at twenty years he married the daughter of a man living on a neighboring estate. It was at the end of the crop season after he was married that he became famous as the best dancer in that period where he lived, and in the midlife was proclaiming leaders to the crowd being naturally a very French man, ingratiated himself in the hearts of the people and became their leader in all things. When he was twenty-four years of age his father died and the owners, in looking around for a strong, influential man, decided on Buddhoe hence it was his fortune to succeed his father on the plantation as driver and headman. The power he wielded was remarkable. he was both feared and respected. It was at this time he became widely known as General Bourdeaux and this name remained with him ever afterward. The sugar cane made it necessary for the importation of slaves to cultivate the large acreage devoted to this industry. There had been marked dissatisfaction for some time past among the slaves because of the inhuman treatment they were subjected to by their masters. In the meantime it was said that King Christian VIII had been induced to promulgate certain laws for the complete emancipation of all slaves in the Danish West Indies. The order stated that "from the 28th day of July 1847 all children born of those in bondage should be free and at the end of twelve years slavery should entirely cease." It was rumored that the emancipation proclamation had arrived since May of that year but that the then governor General Von Scholton, had been requested by the planters to withhold it until the crop had been gathered as they feared the ill effect it might have on the slaves. This the governor consented to do, but he was prevented as Buddhhoe heard of it and he determined to force the governor's hand, so they spread the news over the island from one plantation to another till most every slave knew by the underground system what was to take place. The fact that King Christian intended giving freedom twelve years hence to the slaves without arranging some suitable basis of compensation for the slave owners must be carefully questioned, as will be shown by an excerpt from the famous petition for compensation forwarded to the Danish Congress by the slave owners of Saint Thomas and Saint John, which in part, says "Here we must observe that though it was admitted that the pretended insurrection of Saint Croix rendered emancipation an act of necessity, it cannot at all events in any manner be cited with regards to Saint Thomas and Saint John, where no kind of disturbance existed among the slaves." The leaders succeeded in a very quiet manner in carrying out their plan, and had arranged that the given day was to be Sunday, July 2, when the whites would be wrapped up in their usual devotions. The day broke forth in a peaceful calm. Everything went along nicely until eventide, when the unmistakable signal of a rebellion was seen and heard; connexbells blew the alarm, which was taken up from plantation to plantation; fires were visible throughout the island. The inhabitants of West End were in terror and consternation. It was an awful night. The next morning the insurrectionists marched into West End from several of the adjoining plantations in two bodies of from 1,500 to 2,000 respectively, armed with cut- hassan, praks and other farm implementa, and that awful demolition of vested rights, the torch. The fort was approached by the mph, which, as the hours rolled on toward noon was in creased by additional bands who came to the city demanding their freedom. There was no one in authority who could grant their demands except the governor and he was at the capital. Bassin, about fifteen miles distant. The commander of the fort (Captain Customer appeased their demands temporarily by saying that his excelence) was expected to arrive before sun-down. By this time the whites and many free Negroes were taken aboard the vessels lying in the harbor for safety and to escape the confaguration he was threatening should freedom admitted the slaves. Several urgent calls had been made for the governor without avail. The whipping post was uncarried carried through the streets followed by a crowd of men and women thrown into the sea. The situation and the courtyard with the slave records were reduced to silence. As the number of the mob increased to increase more turbulent were their demands. It was umored that the fort would train the guns on the mob. No sooner was the news spread when they opened. The fort and again demanded the mercy. It ridiculed the soldiers for not fighting into their homes and if their liberty was not granted by sundown they would burn the city to ashes. As the moments passed into space more and more painful was the suspense for no one knew whether the fort would fire in the mob or that the mob would carry out its threat. By this time a marriage was seen approaching and the news that Major General Von Scholton was in it made the mob which was in complete control of the city frenzied in its vociferous demand for liberty. The governor entered the fort and after a parley with Buddha who was in command of the rebellious forces freedom was proclaimed from the ramparts of the fort and read thus: All offices in the Danish West India Islands are from today (free P. V. Seboulton St. Croix July 3 1848 The officers under the governor were dumbfounded upon receiving his decision. Home of the Negroes celebrated the event in a series of Hassanian dances, while others soberly reflected on the uncertainty of the future. In the evening the glow of fires could be seen in Saint Thomas and Saint John. They lighted the horizon and reflected upon the heavens like an aurora borealis, a memorial to the death of slavery. That memorable proclamation freed 500 slaves. Isaiah Thomas, where the slaves were unexpectedly emancipated on the fourth of July, is the native home of the distinguished diplomat and eminent Negro writer, Dr Edward W. Blyden, who was at some time identified with the government of the republic of Liberia. On the seventh and eighth of July, Danish soldiers numbering 680 arrived in Saint Croix and from Porto Rico the famous General Prima sent 600 Spanish troops with cannons and 30 000 cartridges. The island was now declared in a state of siege, due to the deprudations which part of the mob continued to commit in several parts of the country. The commission of military officers, with the assistance of the leaders. General Buddhoe at North Side plantations and at the "Flobl plantations Martin King, who restored order in that section and to the South Side Nathaniel Joseph made it possible for an early settlement of the disorders in the interior of the island Major-General Peter Von Schohonion distinguished for his brilliant military career in Europe resigned the governorship during the conflict, and when he arrived in Copenhagen Denmark, was tried before a commission and condemned for dereliction of duty as governor general. Appealing to the Supreme Court against this decision, he was honorably acquitted. Besides for what were the Negroes asking* Freedom. If he arreed in violating to their demands then bless the error which gave to every slave in those islands such an inescimable blessing." -Dr Taylor The next important event during the perilous days of the insurrection is well expressed . . . Rev Knox a words . . . "Where could we expect the uprising of so large a body of ignorant laboring classes—gaining almost complete mastery over all lawful and constituted authority—obtaining possession of such property—holding at their mercy the lives of those whom they had formerly obeyed and having at hand such abundant means to infiltrate their passions, without the most disastrous results in rapine and murder. In Ht Crox the life of not a single white person was sacrificed to their fury or revenge, and the plunder and destruction of property were comparatively speaking, but limited in extent. General Buddhoe was afterwards deported, some claim to Port of Spain Trinidad, others, that he was shot Martin King was imprisoned for two years, and Nathaniel Joseph was the only leader to escape punishment. Let us honor fittingly the memory of this man who made possible the freedom of twenty-seven thousand on the eve of our fourth of July in the year 1848, seventeen years before Abraham Lincoln moved the world with his powerful lever in the emancipation of the American freedman in 1858. May the glory that goes around yearly to other emancipators teach the Negroes everywhere that when the pages of our history are written, besides Toussaint L'Ouverture and Desmalines of Haytı, there stands insidely in the memory of the slaves of St Croix their Negro emancipator, Bufdhex --- [Illustration of two figures in traditional attire, one holding a staff and the other seated, possibly representing a historical or religious scene].

MALONEY Some years ago I was shown a letter written by one of the great leaders of the race to a young man who had essayed to make excursions into the realm of literature. This young man had hopes of becoming a writer of short stories and verse, and he was in active training with that and in view. He had received some encouragement from his teacher, and had been lionised by the humble folk of this realm but he was anxious to have his work passed upon by the reputed literary chieftain of his race. Full of hope, he had sent a few of the best of his amateur attempts to this leader with a personal letter asking him to review them and if he found them good enough) to publish them in the organ of which this leader is the editor. In response this young man received the letter to which I have referred. This letter was like a wet cloth used to another a fire it was like a frigid wave of wind congealing the blood. I read the letter and I sighed and when I had become sufficiently composed to speak, I gave expression to this thought "God, spare us from this type of leadership, if You really desire that we shall go forward." And, there and then, I decided that leadership which is deserving of respect, leadership which is effective must be leadership which strikes a strong note of help and hope to youth. The leader should never discourage, he should always encourage. He should never quench he should elicit the possibilities of those who would by him be led. And ever since that time I have used that test as one of the gouges for measuring the genuineness of leadership. There are always disagreeable surprises in store for those who would persist in discrediting the solons of the masses. I wonder why men who are historians should act in such flagrant violation of the lessons of history. When you think of orators like Price and Frederick Douglas, of statesmen like Diocletian and Cromwell, of reformers like Savonarolla and Sojourner Truth, of scholars like Blyden and Bannaker, of poets like Burns and Dunbar—when you think of men by the thousand's in every walk of life who, coming forth from amongst the masses, have shaken the earth by their power, their influence and their natural greatness of mind and soul, how can you persist in questioning the inherent possibilities of the rank and file in the face of youth, ambition and determination* I have read of Jesus encouraging young men by his advice, have seen letters of inspiration to budding inventors from Granville T. Wood: I have seen and heard suggestions of helpfulness expressed to scores of youngsters by Booker Washington. Theodore Roosevelt, I N Rendall, Peresia O Connell, Kolly Millar, Prof. Crogman, and I have read and heard words of inspiration from the pan and the lips of Marcus Garvey to the young manhood and womanhood of the race. Leadership which, like a contract, ceases to function in the absence of "consideration," leadership which receives its sanction from the principle of quid pro quo, is leadership that we must repudiate. Ent leadership which we should encourage is leadership that has a keen and abiding interest in posterity and, therefore, endeavors to bring to the fore the latent possibilities of the group. It is in this field that the U. N. J. A. is making a tremendous contribution to the education of the race. In every issue of the Negro World space, it is given to the aspirants of the race in the realm of literature and poetry. Of course, much of the prose they contribute is amateurish and lacking in etymology, and syntax, crude in diction and utterly tawdry; and many of their sample verses are merely doggerel. But, as in love so in everything else except death, 'tweed better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. Nature is prodigal in its sowing. A million eggs of the human produce a thousand species which yield up a certain number of heroes, such as the king, the emperor, the commander, the college course yearly, about forty, turnout to be scholars and a few hundred to be productive citizens. If out of the hundreds that got a literary hearing in the columns of the Negro World just a dozen should make a lasting mark the effort would not have been in vain. We see works of art, painting, needlework, knitting, basketry, etc., springing up under the shadow of the U. N. I. A. We see most acceptable presentations in drama, in music, in pageantry. We see young orators measuring the obequence with the seasoned veterans of the platform and pulpit. We note a new political creed; a new economic attitude; a new social outlook. And all this in the last few years released by the vibrant philosophy of Garveyism. I wonder how many have stopped to observe that as a factor in the general education of the Negro race the philosophy of Marcus Garvey is one of the mightiest influences ever released. In the life of Marcus Garvey man have noted the fire of the prophet, the astuteness of the statesman, the conviction of the propagandist, the magnanimity of the general, but few man have noted the crucifixion of the educator. To focus attention upon this brilliant facet of a many-sided jewel is the intention of this article. --- 4 Negro World A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League MARCUS GARVEY .....

HARLEM'S RENT BOOSTERS THE shortage of apartments in Harlem within recent years has given rise to certain or rather uncertain persons asserting themselves to be Real Estate Brokers who have been carrying on a system of rent boosting, aided and abetted by the very people who suffer most from the system. Paradoxical as it may seem, there are Negroes in Harlem who knowingly allow these parasites to prey upon them. The first step in the system is to ascertain the amount of rent paid by tenants of various apartment and private houses. Then follows a round of visits to the owners of these houses from one of these uncertain persons who as a rule presents a handsomely engraved card with Real Estate Broker inscribed thereon. In the majority of cases his office is really located in the pocket of his overcoat or some obscure furnished room. Quite often he operates from the streets; nevertheless he tries to impress the owners with his importance in the real estate field and his ability to get anywhere from ten to fifty dollars more monthly rent for their apartments or houses. They are assured that he has Negro clients who are not only willing, but anxious to pay these increases. And the pity is that very often he speaks the truth. Some foolish or lightless Negroes who in their anxiety to procure apartments, allow their anxiety to overshadow other important considerations, in their hard-earned money as deposit on the apartments at these highly inflated rentals. The practice is not confined to this type of Broker. There are firms and individuals posing as respectable real estate operators who are among the chief offenders. It is high time that Harlem rid itself of these parasites. They not only bring disrepute upon really honest and respectable real estate men, but create a condition in which Negroes find themselves paying rents out of all proportion to their means and the actual rental value of apartments. Apartments formerly rented to white tenants for thirty or forty dollars a month are now rented to Negroes for eighty and ninety dollars a month by Negro real estate men. As a result these Negroes are compelled to crowd their homes with lodgers to pay the exorbitant rent, creating a condition which is both a menace to health and morals. Negroes receive less wages than any other group of wage-earners, yet they are compelled, and in many instances are willing, to pay much higher rent than other groups. Here is a paradox. While the acute housing shortage is in a measure responsible for this condition, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the Real Estate Broker and those foolish or thoughtless Negroes who give him aid and comfort are by far the most dangerous element in the equation. It is of the utmost importance that Negroes stop boosting their own rents by offering to pay higher rents for apartments already occupied. THE U. N. I. A. IN NEGRO HISTORY DURING the past quarter of a century a great many Negro uplift movements have flourished, beginning with the Colored National League of Boston, the State Sumner League of Connecticut and the Afro-American Council, and culminating in the N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League and the Urban League. The U. N. I. A. comes forth with a new constructive program. Its purpose is not to antagonize the Caucasians, Negro churches and radical and social movements, but to build up the Negro industrially and politically everywhere and to develop Africa commercially wherever it can secure a foothold and assist the African in gaining a title clear to his native land. The J. N. I. A. is universally recognized as a powerful spiritual force. But some doubting Thomases point to the fact that some of the business corporations which have sprung from her loins have not immediately reached the adult stage. But look around and use your common sense. The magnificent railway systems like the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania did not attain manhood stature in one or two years. Hence we must not expect Negro enterprises to reach the pinnacle of success in a day or two. GAGGING HAYTI IT is difficult to write about the tyranny of the United States in Hayti and keep our feet on the ground. The desire to dip our pen in vitriol is tense, irresistible.

It says, in full: "A meeting of protest was called at Port au Prince for April 5. The call to the Haytian people says, in part: "Protest against any election by the Council of State, an illegal and an unconstitutional body; protest against the convention imposed upon our nation and demand its abrogation; protest in the name of their civilization against the unjustifiable military occupation of our territory by foreign forces in violation of all principles of international peace against the loan, a rope around our necks, which imposes disinclariers wish to impose upon the Republic of Hayti; pro --- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 THE NEWS WORLD 1. ```markdown ``` LATEST TRIUMPH OF CHRISTIAN SPAIN'S "CIVILIZING MISSION" IN RIFF-MOROCCO Muslim victims of Spanish Forces—"One of the Numerous Spanish victory mounds in RiFF"—The only fate of the Arab prisoners at the hands of their "Civilized" enemies Evidently certain white people of East St Louis made notorious by the bloody race not which occurred there some year ago and in which a good many more whites than Negroes oust their lives are not keen on having Negroes erected in the local offices in that city judging from the tenor of a circular which was spread broad as throughout that city some days before the loitering April 4 at which we rejoined our wives in The Negro World.

The command of the ministry of America is forging and to form with righteous ardent effort upon every attempt made by the Dixons and Griffiths to create bad feeling between the races is so obvious that even a blind man can see. The white Christian church is fast going to seed and losing its grip upon the masses who are losing faith in the ability of the clergy to do the work they were appointed to do. Many of the so called Christian churches today are Christians and their leaders are priests without religion of the kind that the Great Nazarente taught and practiced. The press is one of the mightiest forces for good in modern civilization—one of the greatest and most powerful weapons that can be employed in moulding public sentiment or in shaping the destinies of races and nations. It is a battering ram which has broken down and destroyed many strong fortresses within which have been intrenched the evil forces which have sought to disrupt nations and governments and races by their false theories as to what they should be in the scheme of civilization. The press alert and argument has thwarted the designs of these enemies of truth and justice by turning on the light and exposing to the world the fallacies and sophistries which they have attempted to force upon mankind. Wherever the press has used its power for good civilization has advened by ceas and bounds. Commerce and industry and the social condition of the masses have always been somewhat improved under its beneficent influence. An honest forward-looking press in the handmaid of civilization. Harmony peace, good will and prosperity are enhanced and strengthened by its cooperation and encouragement but a press that lends itself to any form of injustice and sins by silence when it should cry aloud is the most dangerous instrument of evil in any nation. We have in this nation such a press, and it is as perniciously active in its support of lawnessness by the mob as it was of human slavery. It is today stirring up race feeling by sensational methods and condoning the perpetration of crimes against weaker races, winking at injustice to so-called inferior races and glorying in the power of might. --- --- test, finally, against the unexplained, unjustified dispatch to our country of a high commissioner—one more humiliation inflicted upon our nation "Thus we call upon you all who still feel some dignity and some love for your country to join with us on April 5 to minister and protest with all the force of a patriot's soul.

Negroes are desirous of knowing all there is to know about the dark continent—its history, its geography, its people, its potentialities. Again, in schools and colleges Negroes are spending years of ceaseless tool acquiring an education. It is not a frivolous task. Inroads are being made by Negroes into every trade and profession under the sun. It is evident that regardless of what the experts may say about the division of leadership, the Negro is on the warpath arming himself for the fight to come. Fight? Yes, the solemn battle of the races. The "man asleep" may turn up a contemptuous lip at this. It is a subject entirely foreign to him. But nevertheless there is a basis of truth for it. Out on the sun-swept cotton belt the grim blackfaced under dog knows it, feels it, lives it, and he is not alone. Statesmen whose fingers are on the pulse of mob opinion, who go up and down as the tide of public opinion rages and subsides, are also in the know. Away in South Africa white papers like the Cape Town Times are asking for a square deal for the natives who suffered so much in the recent mine strike. It is a battle royal between the Socialists and the capitalists to determine on what side the weight of Negro labor can be thrown. It is an index to the state of white people's mind. Only the black man must know it and cash in on it. After a century of exploitation it is useless to bank on the perpetual inertia of the Negro. Down in the West Indies the natives are one by one shaking the issues out of their years of dreams and lackadaisical sleep. There is none of the manana in the social men of the black. All over the world the Negro is becoming conscious of his power, both as a labor and military unit.

Here is a book that is of peculiar interest at this time. Only a few weeks ago Miss Ernestine Rose, of the 135th Street Library, organized an association for the "Study of Negro History." This is decidedly a step in the right direction, and it would be well to bring out books that throw light on the Negro's mysterious past. Miss Wilkes, who is a teacher in the colored schools of Washington, has undertaken a very strenuous task. While the book is alive with information about the achievements of Negroes ever since they were brought as slaves to this country in 1634, quite an improvement may be made in the matter of style and class-ification. It is undoubtedly the result of indestructible labor, and is a book The New Haven "Union" a white daily paper, on April 16 republishes from the "Negro World" an article on the rapid progress made by the colored people of New Haven, Conn.

EDITORIAL NOTES --- FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI I said last week that the Allies were unable to determine whether Russia or Germany would dominate affairs at the Genoa Gas Works. It now appears from the reports to hand that both Germany and Russia are not only holding the centre of the stage, but have been responsible for an explosion. History has a queer and uncanny way of repeating itself. The Right Honorable Lloyd George, who is storming at German trockery and "disloyalty," has evidently forgotten the celebrated "Peace with honor" (2) Berlin Congress where all the delegates were pledged to come to the Conference with clean hands. And how the great Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield, after making a similar declaration to that given by the other plenipotentiaries, was subsequently discovered, through a statement which appeared in "The London Globe" on the night in the opening of the Congress, to have made a secret treaty with Turkey in which Great Britain, in recompense for her guaranteeing the integrity of the Turkish Empire, was accorded a clause of the Island of Cyprus. This incident created a much greater sensation in diplomatic circles than that which the Russo-German pact has recently produced. For, M. ington. France's representative lett the Congress followed by the Russian Ambassador as a protest against English diplomatic duplicity. No doubt Mr. Lloyd George will say this happened before his time, and was a bit of Tory diplomacy notwithstanding the fact that he heads a coalition government. Curiously, it was the Prussian Bismarck, Germany's central Chancellor, who patched up the trouble between the English, French and Russian diplomats. Politicians and diplomats who live in glass houses should pull down the blinds. Meanwhile, the umbroglio becomes more mixed. M. Barthou is protesting against Germany even as M. Waddington protested against England forty odd years ago, and Lloyd George threatens to pack up his papers and his flappers and return to his Island fastness in a fit of sulks after the manner of Achilles. These diplomats—save the mark—do not appear to realize that they have pressed Germany to the extreme limit of endurance. If Germany cannot develop trade with Russia or elsewhere, it is quite obvious that she cannot pay the war indemnity. On the other hand, Russia requires Germany's manufactured goods whilst Germany's need of Russia's raw material which was controlled—for the most part—by Germany before the war. The Allied Governments have been most tardy in recognizing Soviet Russia because they feared the Bolshevik deluge which threatened Europe. Their delay in accepting the inevitable has brought its retribution. Germany and Russia, excluded as they were from the county of nations, had a perfect right to come together for their own preservation. They have been driven into an alliance which is likely to be the beginning of another conflagration in the "Big Four" do not readjust their perspective. It is a very great pity that the United States has held aloof. No economic reconstruction can be accomplished without the financial assistance of the United States. The late war has given the United States an opportunity for good which has never previously occurred in recorded history. She holds the world in the hollow of her hand. What are her statesmen doing or thinking that they do not step into the breach and save Europe from annihilation? There is also the question of self-interest. America is capable of supplying the world with its manufactures. Mass production can overcome cheap German labor. Europe is in a condition of economic extremis England as a world power is finished. She is rotten at the core and that goodly outside which she shows to the uninitiated will, at no distant date, fall into the internal decaying mass. Italy is poor and in debt. France has to reconstruct her ruined manufactures and the restored province of the Rhine are by no means an unmixed blessing. These tax-ridden European countries are seething with discontent; and a disgruntled Germany backed by a hungry Russia stands at bay. The end? Who knows? Information has just reached me from a very important source relative to the Spanish operations in Morocco. The Madrid Government has taken over the Riff question, and General Berenguer, the Spanish High Commissioner, has resigned. The Spanish press and people have at length been brought to recognize the fact that Spain's plan of conquest is futile. Hundreds of Spanish officers are prisoners in the hands of the Riffians, and every effort to obtain their release has signally failed. In the West the redoubtable Raisuli, though hard pressed, still remains at large, and during March the heavy snows that fell over the entire mountain district was the cause of untold suffering to the Spanish soldiery. With the coming of spring the Riffs have attacked and taken Spanish posts and convoy. Since Spain's disaster of last July there has been a terrible cost of life and treasure to the Spanish people, and the new war budget presents considerable difficulty now that General Berenguer, the only man Spain possessed who knew the Moors, has resigned. The smouldering tires of rebellion are rife from Barcelona to Madrid. The new Spanish Government has inherited a very heavy African burden, and, as the thrones of Europe, fanned by the breath of an irresistible cry for freedom, are talling like sere leaves in an autumn wind, it will be necessary for Alfonso to grip his regal seat with a firmness born of desperation or the rising tide of democracy will sweep him onward into the fast swelling ranks of Europe's throneless sovereigns Meanwhile the Riffians have set up a republic and the hero of the Riff, Emir Muhamud bin Abdul Karim, has been unanimously elected to be the head of the newly constituted republic of the Riff. With his usual energy he is actively devoting himself to the task of organizing the Riff highlands, chiefly on an economic basis, in order to unify the interests of all the tribes for evolving a common system of democratic intertribal control. It is as certain as any future event can be that success must attend the efforts of the resourceful Abdul Karim, especially as the republic idea is not new to Islam. It is not generally known that Islam is in its essence a republic on the broadest possible lines. Even the Khalifate is, or was elective until Turkey, through its Sultan, became head of the Faith. It then became vested with hereditary powers for the reason that the Khalif should always be in a position to defend the Faith with the sword, and Turkey being the most powerful and independent Muslim State it was capable of fulfilling the duties that devolved upon the head of the faithful. This reminds me that the Riffians are badly in need of medical stores and I shall be happy to acknowledge small or large donations from my readers to this end. I will forward any such donations to London to purchase supplies which might be sent as a special offering from the colored people of America to their colored brothers in the Riff who are fighting bravely to retain their freedom. I have just received a communication from Turkey in which my good friend Tewfik Pasha, the Grand Vizier at Constantinople, in granting an interview to the Turkish press has made it quite clear that no difference exists between Turkey's peace aims as conceived at Constantinople and those of the Angora Government. He repudiates the idea that any Constantinople statesman could oppose the Kemalists on this matter, saying that their peace aims in common represent the national will, Tewfik Pasha insisted that the BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Who were the builders of the everlasting Pyramids and Catacombs and sculptors of the Nubianes? Were they Europeans or Caucasians Asiatics or Mongolians? Will it be at once conceded that the authors of the symbolic theory and hieroglyphic science are identical? Upon this point there can be but one opinion. The inventors or authors of one were the builders and architects of the other. Among what can be said in what country of the world are the African and Asian builders then have white men to build as their own in the Indian and African habitats. It must be admitted that it certainly is not the Muhammedan tribe that is known to have delicately built their own words symbols of an ancient Negro fraternity in Arabia and Egypt to question the truth of this claim. This claim of the Mystic Shrira is in dispute and branched and shrirera should contend that the white men who have had the effacement of the Negro lodges from the Morocco the Shrira Muhammedan order and the Muhammedan order and I would like to be informed as to what these three are the Negro lodges because to locate of the Negro Prophet of Arabia.

York City N Y Dear Sir — it seems that a judge in one of the Southern States has granted an injunction to restrain certain Negro lodges of Myatic Shriners within that State from wearing the insignia of the order and rom using the ritual of the order as well as the names of temples originated by these Negro lodges, under the palms and penalties of criminal prosecution, which may be hanging, electrocution or life imprisonment. As the French say, "It is to laugh." Do the white judges who issue injunctions to restrain Negroes from establishing fraternal orders which originated in Arabia and Africa centuries before white men had a civilization know that the insignia and ritual and emblems of the order which they are seeking to enjoy Negroes from wearing and using in this country are purely of African origin? That the Myatic Shrine is an Arabic order and that the Arabs are part Negroes? A reference to Goon 10 and 16 will clarify, the atmosphere for any white Shriner who may be loafering under the impression that the descendants of Ishmael, the son of Hagar, an African woman and black are Europeans. According to American standards, they are a colored race just as the Turks are a colored race of Hamite origin. This tenth chapter of Genesis contains, beginning at the sixth verse and ending at the twentieth what appears to be considerable authentic information appraining o and coursing into the sons of Han. The facts would singet awayable. A lawyer would call them into evidence and rest his case after using the twentieth verse of the 10th chapter of the book of Genesis.

The Pyramids of the Sahara the Phoenix which later was a symbolic attribute of Jupiter common Rameses I which afterward personified Rameses II and was the Phoenix. These were still other similar representations of Deity among those blacks among them Komei II was also called Apia and represented as an ox or a owl, while Ramesa III was called Oat and represented as a dog.

Some people get a great deal of comfort out of life by envying and abusing those who are succeeding. If you want to be in the swim socially and popular as well, make it a rule of your life to invent and circulate an impossible lie about your next door neighbor at least twice a week.

They will do the work. Cultivate the habit of gossiping. Gossiping is the refinement of lying. A church or a neighborhood that does not contain from one to five able-bodied lilies and characters is nearer heaven than most people imagine. It is the easiest thing in the world for a goosepip to stir up a church or a neighborhood. It is done with a sinister and cynical smile; a shrug of the shoulders; the elevation of the eyebrows or by telling a half truth.

Neuroalgia is a term which is frequently employed both technically and popularly in a somewhat loose manner to describe pain the origin of which is not clearly traceable. In its atriot sense it means the existence of pain in some portion or throughout the whole of the distribution of a sensory nerve without any distinctly recognizable atriotural change in the nerve or nerve center. Causes - It may be generally stated that neuroalgia rarely occurs in the midst of good health. Constitutional cases hereditary or acquired are among the most powerful of the predisposing influences in its production. Thus it is often found to affront the inflammation or gout. In weakened conditions of the system from unstable or insufficient food or as the result of any drain upon a body or in anemia from any cause or when certain disease poison are present such as syphilis or malaria. It is common for neuroalgia to come on. Further, any strain upon the nervous system, such as mental overwork or mental strain or anxiety. Among the exciting causes of an attack of neuroalgia by far the most common is exposure to cold and damp, which seems to excite irritation in a nerve already disposed to suffer. But irritation may be produced by numerous other causes such as bruising of a nerve by a blow, a decayed tooth diseased bone, local inflammations in which nerves are implicated, or some sort of pressure upon a nerve trunk. Symptoms - There are few alliments which give rise to greater human suffering than neuralgia, and though the pain is generally localized, it may spread beyond the area where it first occurs. It is usually of paroxysmal character and often periods—that is to say, it occurs at a certain time of the day or night it varies in intensity, being often of the most agonising character and again less severe and more of a tingling kind. Various forms of perverted nerve function may be found along with or following neuralgia. Thus there may be overassentiveness of the skin, loss of feeling, paralysis or alteration of nutrition, such as wasting of muscles, whitening of the hair, etc. Attacks of neuralgia are apt to occur particularly when the general health is low, and some persons, unhappy, continue to suffer from occasional attacks during the greater part of their lifetime. Varieties.—The nature of the disease will be best described under the names of the forms in which it most commonly occurs. These are facial neuralgia, ortio douloureux, migraine, also known as brow-ague, and intercostal neuralgia. Other forms affecting the arm, neck, etc., are of much less frequent occurrence. The treatment depends upon the cause. WE WELCOME THIS SPIRIT R. L. PORTON Now that the world is convinced that the Garvey Movement is here to stay we are being treated with more sane discussions of the movement in the daily and weekly press. The old "half-cocked" way of treating this world movement is being superseded by a methodical analysis of the program, not always absolutely fair, but with a drift in the direction of fairness. No newspaper or periodical that wishes to have itself taken seriously will say the things that some newspapers said about the Universal Negro Improvement Association a few years ago. All writers who have anything to say about Garveyism attempt to justify themselves before the public first by saying that they have taken some time to study the movement. In some cases they are telling the truth, as their same treatment of some of the issues involved will indicate, but in some others they take this method of getting the public ear, which they could not get in any other way. At any rate the signs are hopeful and the public is winning out. Pretty soon we may expect to see the people treated with an absolute fair representation of the principles of this association in the daily press. Then there will be a greater awakening among the Negroes throughout the world. When the leaders of the race take their fingers out of the eyes of the people who are desirous of knowing the truth and let a ray of light come in there will be no question that "Garveyism" will sweep the entire world. This they will have to do either voluntarily or involuntarily. We prefer to have it voluntarily, but we are convinced of the fact that the public will have justice from its leaders, even though it has to force it. The man who will misrepresent "Garveyism" to the people will be branded eternally by them, and this is as it should be, for we have too much at stake to be trifled with now. We welcome this spirit of fairness on the part of the press, for it assures us that our efforts and sacrifices in behalf of the four hundred million Negroes of the world are fast bearing fruit. make an interesting quarto for what is left of Europe.

For instance, when it was brought out that Brooks, as Secretary (general of the L N I A) received as his salary the sum of $500 per month the judge, in passing on this talked as though only the President and a few other officers granted this salary to the Secretary when, as a matter of fact, it was voted upon by the delegates at the first Convention of the organization which was held in the year of 1920. The reason for such a simple salary being paid this officer was in prevent him from accepting any outside work except that concerning the organization to help him display that manhood which was intended for him in display to prevent him from accepting bribes from those who would destroy the cause and race he represented and finally to make him independent of treachery which leaders are often confronted with. In a few words the U N A which he represented, paid him for his body and soul, so that he would use them for the uplift of his people Now I would ask this question Does anyone think that Brooks could prove his worth in any other way than those outlined above to wa rant him a salary of $600 a month? The trouble with some of our leaders in the past was that we had to pay them to be loyal to their race and with all that some of them prove to be just as disloyal as our worst enemies I trust in the coming convention the organization will do away with these enormous salaries and pay a man for the job he fills only and, if he does not prove satisfactory dismiss him. No man should at this time be paid for his loyalty and devotion to the race to which he belongs. Nattons and races only pay exorbitant sums to those who divulge to them the secrets and movements of the other fellow because such a man is considered a traitor and if caught, pays the penalty of death HAROLD G. SALTUS. "THE NEW NEGRO" By MI88 VIOLET McCRACKEN Dv. 413 Muskogee, Alp. I feel it my duty to say a word about the Negro of today. We have not realized that we are the future race and have not yet reached the conclusion that all things are yet to be in our possession. We do not realize that we have a home across the seas that lies in wait for our arrival, that needs our hands to toil in its wondrous sands and mines and also our preserved thoughts to think out the plans and pussies that are not yet laid before us. The young Negro of today has no thought of the future; all that he time to care for is a good time, fine clothing, money and luxuries of the country. He has yet to consider that these are the last days and that the change has me. Do you not know that for four hundred years we have toiled in the land of America, and what we have gained? Absolutely nothing! Can we not see that we can claim nothing as our own? Why not put an end to it and get organized? Why not come together as one large family or body, so that in unison we may cry. I came! I saw! I conquered!" Come! Our Motherland stretches forth her slender hand to us. See what is needed and put forth your best efforts to support it. Then conquer! For Africa is ours and ours alone. When we have won the victory and reached our destiny we shall assemble beneath the Red. Black and Green and enjoy that which God intended for us and ever be as one large body—the Universal Negro Improvement Association ACHES AND PAINS— SLOAN'S GETS 'EM! AVOID the misery of racking pain.

The humanity and justice of granting protection to our Negro citizens and in further assuring constitutional protection of the due process of law to all our citizens is too plain to need discussion. The colored population of the world is beginning to come into its own. We heard the other day of the Negro regiment from Jamaica which refused at the order of the British to sail for India there to help the English hold down in their misery and oppression the people of India. We are making enemies for ourselves beyond our borders, and enemies which may become important enemies, by our practice of lynching. Perhaps more important than all we are losing the respect of the thoughtful just and discriminating people of the world by this practice of lawlessness and brutality — New York American, April 18 1922. A half century of discussion of the Negro question has not brought forth a solution satisfactory to every element in the two races concerned. But the Negro himself has gone about solving the problem by making himself a better citizen, by buying homes and farm lands by taking advantage of what educational opportunities are offered him and by giving steadily increasing support to his own spiritual agencies.

NEGRO PROGRESS last fifty years, as told in the Negro Year Book, is an achievement of which it may well be proud. In a half century homes owned by Negroes have increased from 12,000 to 680,000, farms operated from 20,000 to 1,000,000 and businesses conducted from 8,100 to 60,000 Negroes hold at present some 20,000,000 acres of land an area equal to that of the New England States without Maine. Added to these evidences of material progress are the statistics which show that literacy among Negroes has increased from 10 per cent. to 80 per cent, that voluntary contributions to churches have increased from $80,000 to $2,700,000, and that the number of churches has risen from 700 to 45,000. The contribution of the Negro to the economic wealth of the country, particularly the South, has been one of almost inestimable value. Nor has the South proved itself wholly ungrateful as was pointed out in an address delivered at Hampton Institute by Anson Phelps Stokes. He told of the millions of dollars spent for Negro education and said the Southern white man had taxed himself heavily to educate his Negro neighbors. The past decade, particularly, has witnessed a marked change in the attitude of the Southern white man towards Negro education, which has resulted in steadily increasing appropriations not only for education but also for health work and for other agencies of uplift. The Negro's efforts to raise himself and the remarkable success of his efforts are an aid to race pride. And when each of the two races has the proper sort of race pride in sufficient amount the answer to a vexatious question will at least be greatly simplified. DROPSY Treatment.

Weekly Sermon ```markdown ``` Lewis Rev. 2:10 He thus fearful into death and I w. give these the crown of life Subject Wet Done This word of praise we desire must be earned to be appreciated. And when it is forthcoming from a great master it serves to inspire the door with greater real for doing well the task assigned. A nature is responsive to praise. It is therefore the more imperative that man should act better than praised when than he is allowed to perform well without this word of approval. There is at least two cases in dividends who act well their peers those who are faithful and those who are working to earn a reward here Both are in a sense deserving. But the first class is to be deserved above the second. We are so accustomed to look for praise until very often we labor to that and only without taking thought of that which we might do in constructive building. An Italian composer was directing one of his operas for the first time. After the performance was over there was a great round of applause from the audience but the composer did not seem to care very much about the applause of the audience. His eye was kept continually on a bug in which was seated the great composer Verdi. The approval of Verdi was worth far more than the number of thousands in the audience for Verdi was a master of music and he approved it meant great success. If Verdi did not think the music worth the applause of others it did not care for much. Real success is determined by the verdict of the expert. If our life is such that it can receive the verdict, *Well done* from the great Master of Living Jesus, it has been a success if, however, we cannot stand the test of His look on our life it has been a failure no matter how much applause we have won. Man may approve the wrong, but God never places his mark of approval upon the wrong. It is foolish and absurd in the extreme for men to say that, 'I am with you in the right or wrong.' To begin with if you are with an individual or groups of folks in the wrong you are then a party to the wrong and equally responsible to the wrong, with the door of the wrong. --- In the little things even you to do and you will send the drive stamp of distinction. Be sure your slims are centered in the perfect man and your acts will measure up to his standard. 1 Measuring by Small Standards Many people grow self-satisfied because they measure themselves by small standards. Some people congratulate themselves when they find others who are weaker than they. Or they may lean back with satisfaction and say, "Well, I am just as good as the regular run of people." I guess I am all right." It is just as though a boy of twelve should compare himself to a child of three or four, and come to the conclusion that he is a full grown man. A true measure of a life is not gained by setting it against an undeveloped or poor misshapen specimen of humanity, but by setting it along side of the stature of the perfect man. When we compare ourselves to Jesus and see our lives set against the background of his unselfishness, his purity, his courage his patience, we can only say, "God be merciful to me a sinner." 2-Qualities God Approves. To win the approval of God in our lives they must have first of all honesty of purpose. We can deceive others with our manners and words, and even with our appearances, but God knows the heart. It is terribly easy for any one to pose—to do things—even good things, not for the sake of doing good, but for the sake of gaining a reputation. A person may live a busy, more or less useful life, without ever once having an unselfish purpose of service in it. Those are the kind of people of whom Jesus said, "They have their reward." They already have had the pleasure of gratifying their vanity and making a fine appearance. They have nothing more coming to them. They cannot look forward to the day when they shall hear these coveted words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." One fight which every one must make is. To fight, to be rather than to seem. Our lives must have not only honest purposes, but they must have force in them to accomplish these purposes. The common saying, "Hell is paved with good intentions," is a strong expression of the truth that intentions must not be weak things like branches that are swinging to and fro in the wind. But have power behind them. When Jesus was here on earth He did not surround Himself with weaklings. He picked out rugged, stern, just honest, capable men to help him—men who had grit and grace as well as courage and the ability to speak. The test of good leader is his ability to select those who are capable of being faithful unto death. Another test of His ability is to be tolerant toward those whom he may disagree, yet knew that they are faithful in every respect. The true signs of greatness rest not in what the people may say about you or say you are, but rather in what you are and your ability to rise above the little mean things in life when the acid that comes through having your will appealed. Even the Christ had his appealed.

Very often our power a handicaped to understand our culture and where honest effort has been made through the world may judge the result failure if honest effort has been made. God calls it success. We are not judged by a hard taskmaster who makes no allowance but by a master who is ever watchful and wise or rewards sincere intentions. One great question for each of us to ponder was, is the life I am living the sure that we stand being looked at by God? Nothing is hid from him his eyes on X ray which probes into the most carefully concealed secrets. Will your work stand? In 1878 a great bridge over two miles long was built in Scotland. It was considered one of the wonders of the world. The winter night in December 1879 a train left the station on one shore during a gale disappeared in the darkness and never reached the other side. In the morning several grains of the ice were seen to be gone. Dives were found tangled stone and trawn at the bottom of the lake. Highly perished out their lives. The bridge was not built strong enough to withstand the pressure of the wind. Lives with the flow of insurrection in their constitution. Alas never win the approval of God. Look to your life and order it in the fashion to win the storms and win the approval. Well done. MOB RULE ON THE RAND Political in Cape Times, March 9 1922 The orgy of mob lawlessness which has culminated during the last forty-eight hours in the killing and wounding of twenty-five native and colored workers by gangs of hooligan strikers on the Rand will arouse feelings of horror and indignation not merely throughout South Africa, but in the outside world. This takes no account of the fight at the Primrose mine last night, when two natives were among those killed. This lawlessness will have repercussions little dream of by those who instigated and executed these insurgent trifles. We already hear the voice of world opinion asking: "Is this what the color bar meant to this what is signified by the supremacy of white labor in the Transvaal gold industry?" And the verdict will be cold and merciless: "If so, let the brutal thing perish." But though there is the clearest evidence that these murders of inoffensive, unarmed natives are the work of strikers—Mr. "Joe" Thompson's latest manifesto, indeed, confesses that the reports which have reached the executives of the federation are that "bodies of strikers have been attacking natives wantonly and without reason"—grave injustice would be done by charging them against the general body of the men. They are obviously the work of extremists whose secret purpose it has been all along to force the government into a declaration of martial law, in the belief that their revolutionary aims would be well served by bringing the forces of order and disorder into open conflict. The same alim rogues have also dictated the recent conduct of the commandos, which has clearly been aimed at exasperating the police by every insulting device which malice can invent. Yet when every charitable allowance is made for the majority of the strikers, who are the unseeing dupes of these gentry, it is impossible for the nation to regard their conduct with other than the gravest reprobation. They have gone far toward scrimpling, the last remnants of public sympathy. We read of women and children joining in the mad hunt of natives and taking a savage delight in the pursuit. The days of lynoh law in America seldom produced a more degrading spectacle. And the worst feature of it all is that the natives themselves have given no possible cause of offense either to the strikers or the government throughout the stoppage of the mines. By general consent their conduct has been exemplary, though they have had little occasion for viewing with favor the action of their white overlords in depriving them of their livelihood. This admirable behavior, in itself an eloquent repreach to the "supremacy" of the white worker in the mines, deserves more public recognition than it has yet received. It deserves at least the assurance that not another non-European man or woman shall be exposed to the violence of the mob without swift punishment overtaking the offenders. And unless the government puts itself at ease in a position where it will be able to give that assurance, yesterday's happenings on the Rand may have very disturbing consequences in the native territories of the Union. Events have marched rapidly in the last two days, and not along the road where the country would have wished to see them going. They have brought the government to a point where a grave decision must at last be boldly faced. Nothing is more certain than that the present ill-defined shape of affairs cannot be allowed to continue for another forty-eight hours. The supreme consideration at the moment is not the future of the gold mines, but the security of the state. Public authority can no longer be openly defied without the government losing its claim THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 People Talked About Miss Amy Jacques, private secretary to Hon Marcus Carvey is one of that rare type of women of our race who has a business head and a thorough knowledge of office routine work.

It was at first pleaded in excuse for the strikers' commandos by those who organized them that their purpose was to discipline the men and keep them under control. They have failed to achieve that purpose. On the contrary, they have been used by revolutionary politicians from the first for the promotion of civil disenation, and have latterly been designately employed to bring the police into open conflict with the men. Their leaders, such of them as have not nurrendered their title to leadership by sheltering safely in Parliament, have lost all control of them. It seems, therefore, that more competent hands must take up the task Mr Thompson, the president of the Big Stick Executive, has however, made a last minute effort to save the situation by ordering the attacks on natives ceased, it may be that this appeal will succeed. But little time can be spared to test its effect. The situation is so critical that unless there is an immediate cessation of mob violence the government's only course will be to proclaim martial law and suppress the commandos. By JOHN E. BRUCE It is gratifying to learn that one of the most noted physicians of the South, in the person of Dr D M. Crawford of Knoxville, Tenn., has been added to the list of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He is said to be one of the greatest and most successful and prosperous Negro physicians in the South. He joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association April 12, 1922. He is a man of powerful influence professionally and socially, of fine abilities and pleasing personality. He is a valuable addition to the ranks of the organization, which will be sure to take on new life in the State of Tennessee where its members are increasing daily. Men of the type of Dr Crawford are needed in the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the good they can do and the influence they can exert in helping to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association a power in the world. The Knoxville division is to be congratulated in having commanded the services of the leading Negro physician of Knoxville and the South. Honors await such men when they will have served their probationary period, and Dr Crawford's future in the organization is big with promise. Welcome Dr Crawford. The versatile Arnold J.

Negra World, 84 56 West 135th street New York, N Y] Our Motherland is pleading Pleading to her sons and daughter. Asking us to heed her groaning For the toll she pays in child-life. The ten commandments for keeping baby well issued by the Bureau of Child Hygiene Department of Health City of New York, continued (9) You must obtain proper medical supervision white your baby is still well. Consult your family doctor at once, if you can pay for his advice. If you cannot afford his services visit the nearest baby health station or telephone to the Department of Health. For mothers outside of the United States of America apply to the Warden's office of your district for a certificate which will entitle you to the gratuitous services of the District Medical Officer. If the baby seems ill even in the slightest degree, send for the doctor at once. Do not wait until the baby looks sick. Do not put it off until tomorrow—tomorrow may be too late. Delay, especially in summer complaint, is dangerous. Until the arrival of the doctor stop all milk, give a teaspoonful of castor oil, air the room dress the baby lightly, sponge it with cool water, put it to bed keep it quiet and give it a drink of cool boiled water. Prompt action will save your baby. Delay may mean death. (10) You must not listen to your neighbors upon the care and treatment of your baby. They mean well but they do not know. Doctors and nurses are the only proper persons to advise you. What was good for your neighbor's baby may make your baby sick. Your baby's skinness may look like that of your neighbor's child but it may be entirely different and therefore needs different treatment. No one but a doctor can determine this. If, as your neighbors want to advise one another, let that advice come through the practical example of keeping your homes and surroundings clean. Clean neighbors mean clean homes and clean streets. Clean homes and clean streets mean a healthy city. in it. No her good work thus far. Restaurant No. 2 will not suffer by comparison with any of its size in Harlem. The cooking and food served is good. Every well-patronized restaurant has a specialty or specialties on its menu. We suggest that Restaurant No. 2 specialize in serving good coffee good bread and pastry and good soup. The corn bread that is served there now is especially good, but the white bread—well, the less said of it the better. Let the manager of No. 2 get her attitude and I feel sure she will make No. 2 a real asset of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the help of those associated with her in its management. Members of the organization must not fall in their duties to this venture, which is catering not only to the general public, but to every local member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Something more than lip loyalty is needed to make this restaurant the success it should be. This restaurant should give good service and courteous attention to its patrons and patrolin Negroes should patronize it not only because it is a Negro restaurant, but because it is the equal of any in its immediate vicinity. Make the deed square with the word. The restaurant wants your patronage. You want good, palatably cooked and nicely served food. These conditions are not hard. Let the servers and the serval come together and decide that Restaurant No. 2 must succeed. ON BEING BLACK By JABABELLA LAWRENCE "Color is arbitrary and unphilosophical and merely accommodating in its racial application - from The Cushite" When Ethiopia led the can in civilization black was the symbol of purity and righteousness Christ, the Virgin Mary and all their Saints were painted black Devil and wicked men were painted white, for they regarded this color as the symbol of impurity and unrighteousness. The Ethiopian and as "As white as the devil." The white man today. As black as the devil. Through the inventive genius of the Anglo-Saxon and kindred races black today is almost universally accepted as the symbol of all that is wicked and impure. So deep-rooted is this white man's propaganda that even a few of our intellectual heroes—men who are a credit to themselves and their race, men who have drunk deep in the "Pterian spring," men whom we honor and respect—now and then consolently or unconsolently lapse into such phrases as, "blackhearted," "as black as the hinges of the nether region." "black but—" etc. Let us as a people make strentuous efforts to eradicate this malicious deep-rooted propaganda in our flight nationward and no longer use the term "black" in an effort to depict something ignoble something despicable; for, as Dr. Perry truly observes, "Color is arbitrary and unphilosophical and merely accommodating in its racial application." C THROUGH THE MANUFACTURING AND FARMING SECTION OF CONNECTICUT THE TOBACCO FARMERS OF EAST GRANBY THE FINANCIAL DEPRESSION By WILLIAM H. FERRI8 Connecticut is a small but very rich State. It has a geological structure similar to eastern New York. We have in eastern New York the Hudson River valley, running north and south. And we have in Connecticut three valley systems, running north and south—the Naugatuck valley which runs into the Hoosucatonic River valley in Massachusetts the Connecticut River valley and the Thames River valley. This indicates that Connecticut and eastern New York went through the same geological process in the period when the contracting earth upheaved hills and mountains and furrowed valleys.

The Financial Depression Describe the great wealth of countries that everywhere that Mr. Osborne and I want we found many into unemployed. There are two reasons for this. In the first place the World War brought thousands of workers from the rural districts of the country to work in the manufacturing plants and especially in the munition plants, consequently there was nothing for them to do when the war was over, and many remained in the State instead of returning to their native States. This naturally left a residue of unemployed men. Then, again, the financial depression and the uncertain outlook for big business caused many of those who had money to hold on to it rather than loan it out or invest in new business enterprises. And the altered worker suffered along with the white The Hartford, Conn. Division On April 1 and 10 we spoke before a fairly large audience in the Eksa Hall Hartford Conn. We found plenty of enthusiasm but many of the members of the Hartford Division are out of work. Mr E D G Smartt the president Mr J E C Gear the secretary. Mrs Dawden the only presided Mrs Calines the sweet singer and Mr Smith the treasurer are active forces in the Hartford Division. The Hartford Division is anxiously awaiting the day when the Rt Hon Marus Govey will come to town. Mr Cipolla Grant Mr Joseph W Robinson Mr Harrison Coleman and Mr Goodman will retain interest in matters that spilt the race. Rev D Hail is winding up his tenth year as pastor of the Pearl Street A M E Zion Church while Dr Arms is still holding his own as a physician. We believe that when work becomes plentiful in Hartford a strong division will flourish there. New Britain, Conn Mrs A Burton Tavarres of New Belfast lin and Rev H. Lewis the gentle metal evangelist worked hard in building up a division here, but the men lost work and left town and only three members remain. East Granby, Conn On Easter Sunday Mr. Oborne and I enjoyed a pleasant hour a trolley ride until we came to the town of Rainbow and then for a mile and a half we walked through a beautiful stretch of country until we came to the colored settlement of East Granby. It was about two clock in the afternoon. The sun was shining, the air was warm and balmy while a gentle breeze gave it a tonic and exhilarating quality. We walked up and down hills. We saw cattle grazing on the pastures and saw rolling meadows which rose into hills in the distance or ended in a clump of plae, spruce or beech trees. Thus we walked on and on enjoying the beauties of hill and dale and grove and wood until we came to the store and residence of Mr. W A De Loach, the vice president of the East Granby Division. We addressed the East Granby Division Sunday afternoon and Monday evening and, through the courtesy of Rev Thompson, addressed the Easter service of the A M E Church Sunday night in the schoolhouse. The officers of the East Granby Division are Thomas Jefferson, President, W A De Loach, Vice-President William Evans, Treasurer, Alfred Sims, Secretary, Mrs. Carrie E De Loach, Assistant Secretary, and Robert Evans, Chaplain. East Granby is near the Massachusetts lime. The famous Sumatra tobacco is grown by the Connecticut Company, which owns an extensive plantation and works both Poles and Negroes. The Polish overseer recently supplanted some of the Negro laborers with Polish laborers. Most of the employees live on the plantation in houses owned by the company. There are two prosperous colored farmers here, and two who are rapidly forging to the front. Mr Both Sharp, who was born in the neighborhood, who has a daughter in the Windsor High School and who is esteemed and respected for miles around own six acres of tobacco land and three five horses, and works eleven acres on shares. He is a large, noble-looking man and his qualities of mind and heart match his splendid physique and personality. His $6000 tobacco crop was destroyed by the devastating hall storm which struck New England early in August 1920. It was the worst hall storm in forty years and stripped the tobacco. The marks of the hall storm may be seen on the barn. Mr William Evans, his son Robert and two other sons own thirty acres of tobacco corn and potato and four teams which truck in different parts of the state. We did not see Mr William Evans and two of his sons as they were using their teams carrying him to truck yards and mills in other towns. But we met Robert Evans our thirtieth in Tall, erect broad should dredge with a pliant yoke and ample sticks with his nax across it. He had looked like a giant in it. Mr W. A. The Lochhall halls from Glasgow is an excellent outfitter. He lives in the home and store which he buys himself.

He and the money to buy the course of land and the lumber for his child-ing out of his war and post- war wages. He and his wife are ambitions for the children. The Ivana family also hails from Florida. Mr Ed Walker a native of Florida and a newcomer in East Granby, owns six acres of land, mostly uncultivated. We did not meet many of the U. N. I. A. members, as some have moved out of town, some spent Easter Sunday in Hartford, and the rain and bad roads prevented those who lived at a distance from coming out to the Monday night meeting. But the few we did meet were so corral in their greeting that we hope to visit East Granby in the near future. Portland and Middletown, Conn. Portland and Middletown, Conn Portland and Middletown are separated by the Connecticut river. With Washington University, the Lipsi Pai Diversity School and its epic Paleo- east Middletown is a picturesque town. There are not many colored people in Portland and Middletown. They live far apart and do not as a rule make big wagons but they are genius and heart beaten. The officers of the Portland Division are Mr Willi Hilman President Mrs Moffin Vice President Mrs Carnes. Secretary Mr Winston Crossing Agent Secretary Ms Agnes Maughan Assistant Secretary and Rey Moffin Treasurer and Chaplain Mary of the Portland people come from South Carolina and Florida Rev John I. Banks of Middletown who owns a splendid home, and his son and four daughters are organizing a division in Middletown. We addressed a small gathering in the A M E Zion Church On Friday night. Nine persons gave their names. They will zoom meet and elect officers and raise money for a charter. Mr T Smith a retired business man in Middletown a wealthiest citizen. The late Mr Beamon a printer was very prominent. Miss Victoria Harold is a graduate from the high school and business college and is an expert stenographer. Rev H C Lowwin has done splendid work in organizing the G Kranny division enrolling prominent citizens. He is busy now organizing a division in Tariffville. New Haven, Conn We spent yesterday in New Haven, Conn. and found it at foyer heat over the coming of the Rt Hon Marcus Garvey. As we walked through the Negro section we reflected upon the changes in the past thirty years. Then Mr John Anthony and Mr John Hall ran small barber shops on side streets. Now Mr Day and another gentleman have well-equipped barber shops on Dixwell avenue and Mr Leonard Farrebe one on Webster street, near Dixwell avenue. Then Mr Wm Ranson, had a small ice cream parlor on Dixwell avenue and Mr Charles Murray a real estate business pioneer, a small grocery store on Dixwell avenue. Now Frank Baker has an undertaker's shop on the avenue. Mrs. Brown and three or four other persons have restaurants on the avenue. Mr John F McDaniel a tailoring establishment and Mr Lacy Smith a new store on Webster street near the avenue. Intellectually New Haven is aglow with excitement. On Wednesday evening Mr Solomon Platze lectured before the U N L A. L and Thursday evening in the Church of the Living God. On Friday evening, Mrs. Alice Ruth Moore Dunbar Nelson lectured in Odd Fellows' Hall. And on Friday after- ```markdown ``` noon Mrs Thomas Whitby gave an afternoon tea in honor of a young lady who is a student in the Yale College of Music Miss Helen Hogan, Miss Ella Grant and Miss Manle Hope are three of the colored graduates of this school. The musical pioneer in New Haven was the late Maurice Porter who affiliated as organist in one of the historic churches of New haven Mr. Edward Manning, a graduate of the Yale Art School, has for nearly thirty years sustained himself as an artistic painter Mr Scott Routon has risen as a printer until he is now an expert as a composer, in cylinder work and mixing inks. The Equitable Dance Orchestra, of which Mr Noble Ross is leader and Mr C S. De Baptiste is manager, is a unique orchestra. Every member can read notes, can play classical music, can sing and can play more than one instrument. As a result on May 4 the orchestra will be honored by playing for a private affair for the St. Luke's Club, the first time that a colored orchestra has been so honored. Ten years ago Mr M K. Holland, a graduate of Storer's College at Harper's Ferry, W. Va. figured in many debates. Now a literary society has been organized, of which Mrs. Sarah Loe Brown Fleming and Mrs. Noble Ross are leaders, which not only discusses Negro literature but also the moritsa of Victor Hugo. One of the members informed us that Victor Hugo was regarded in France greater as a poet than as a novelist. Connecticut treats the representatives of the U N A with great respect YE COLYMNIST We have wondered with no small amount of assiduity what becomes of the past season a bonnies worn by our friends here in Harlem, but to no avail. For a long time a solution to the mystery eluded us, then one of the morning papers brought us some slight assistance. "Ahah!" we said, villainlike "now that the great Conan Doyle, from whom nothing is hidden, happens to be in our midst, we shall have him put the indefatigable Sherlock Holmes on the case. It must be unravelled." But suddenly—it's miraculous how these thoughts always strike one—a great light dawned on us. Everything seemed so simple. "Now we have it!" we whispered in an awed manner. "Just at this time of season every year there in a marked rush to certain stores with three 'golden' balls suspended over their doors, and when our friends ammerge therefrom that we have minus their bonnies, but not without an indistinguishable though faint jingle in their jeans. As S. H. would say 'You know my methods. Doc, use us' "Guasie Humann's Tragic Love Leads to Cilmax in Long Sentence to Prison" "Arbuckle Freed by Acclamation in One Minute" Both headlines in the daily papers. It somehow seems that justice has been in the balance and a parties who added thereby got an overbrake. "He acted in a manly manner and told a straightforward story among other things said of Fatty" Arbuckle by the jurors. We scent a break in precedent, while, on the other hand, nothing commendable was said of the above mentioned lady. We believe though, that had she taken the law into her own hands and had committed the grusene deed she would have been acquitted as has been done so many times in the past. Is this a warning to the fair sex?" Some days ago there was an editorial in the Evening Journal (by request) written by none other than Arthur Brabane, whereby the plain fact is told that the Pullman porters are to a great extent dependable on their tips for an adequate support of themselves and their families. He goes on to tell how the porters extend courtesy and comfort to all passengers, regardless of personal discomfort, etc. Time indeed for the public to begin to realize the quality of service given by these sterling men of the Negro race. There was an ad some time ago which read "Jack Johnson In for His Mother's Sake." In what, and if so in for what may we ask? Now that the boys can be seen daily in baseball practice on the lot adjoining that on which the armory is being built we are sure that spring is here to stay also when we see the flappers flapping and the youthful Romeo's "strutting their stuffs" on the avenue. We see that the great Babe Ruth King of Swats." is now active—as a spectator. Must be exceedingly painful for a medico to have one of his follow practitioners perform an operation on himself. Our columnist, being rather vain, upbraided us and called our attention to the fact that in our previous issue we omitted to use one of the decorative units of his title. We therefore give the full title-below and take this means of requesting his forgiveness. GARVEY ISSUES WARNING THAT U. N. I. A. IS ONLY HOPE OF THE LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday, April 23, 1922. The Universal Improvement Association, through its leaders, is ever on the alert to see and recognize anything said or done which will show the trend of attitude towards the Negro or which will work detrimentally to the interest of the race by any other group of people, and tonight the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, before the vast assemblage of followers and friendos of the association in Liberty Hall disclosed some news which may be considered as prophetic of the warning which has from time to time been given from the platforms of the various branches of the association throughout the country and in other parts of the world that Negroes are not secure wherever they may be until they shall have by their own efforts and on their own initiative established and built up a government of their own in Africa that will command the respect and admiration of the PAPERED TO ED COLLEGE LIBRARY GARVEY IS LIBERTY HALL, New York Universal Improvement Association the alert to see and recognize anyth the trend of attitude towards the mentally to the interest of the race tight the President General, Hon assemblage of followers and friend Hall disclosed some news which m the warning which has from time to forms of the various branches of country and in other parts of the w wherever they may be until they sha their own initiative established an own in Africa that will command w The first bit of news was in the shape of a circular advertisement which was distributed by the Citizens' Welfare Committee, a political organization in the city of St. Louis, Mo., which reads as follows "Voters, beware. Twenty-five per cent. of the candidates on the Republican ticket for supervisors be voted on at the election next Tuesday are Negroes. Do you want Negroes to represent you and your city on the County Board? Do you want them to say how your tax money shall be spent and how the affairs of your city and county shall be handled? This is a great insult to the voters and the people of our city and it is the duty of every white man and every white woman, regardless of politics, to go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote against the Negro Republican ticket. Stand up for your home and your city vote against this outrage vote against these candidates. vote for white men. The next bit of news was information coming from Portland, Ore., revealing the fact that the Mayor of the city of Portland, in taking steps to prevent mixed social gatherings of black and white people in public places which was prevalent in that city, had issued an order to the police to arrest anybody found in a mixed gathering of white and black socializing and had created an ordinance to that effect which was upheld by the white citizens and subsequently indorsed by the Legislature in spite of the protest of the colored people of the city. These disclosures made by the President General were received with indignation and disgust, but propaganda of that nature directed at the Negro to dampen his aspirations is so commonplace in certain parts of this country that it would probably go unnoticed except by that particular group of people who were affected by it were it not for the fact that the U.N.I.A. through the far-seeking leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey sees the consequences of this insidious propaganda to the entire Negro race I all parts of the world and calls the attention of the race in these attempts which gain recognition to deprive them of life and liberties. In the words of the President General "To the ordinary man these things have no merit and bear no significance, but those are the things the U.N.I.A. has been talking about and preaching about and writing about for the last four and a half years. All these things are leading up somewhere. It will all end in a bloody clash or a forced economic pressure that will cause this race of our nation of our own free will to pack up our trunks and go or be satisfied to put up with the other man's outrages against us. His analysis of the situation was a determination on the part of the white man not to tolerate the Negro as a social industrial or political competitor, especially where he is the advantage of numbers as in the United States of America. This Mr. Garvey said, was the situation which confronted us and it meant that if we are to live side by side with this other man we must make up with this man to be satisfied with any condition he forces upon us or we must seek an alternative and create for ourselves. We are making a tremendous mistake said he, "in believing that better days are coming when we are going to have better opportunities industrially and better privileges politically because that day will never come." continuing, Mr. Garvey pointed out that in proportion as the Negro became more educated and cultured he would become more ambitious and make greater demands, but the white man would not tolerate him if his interests would be affected thereby, and in course of time as the Negro became a serious competitor the declarations against them which are now being made in a few States would become general throughout the nation. The only remedy he could see and the only hope he could find for the race was in stalking solidly to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and helping to put over the grand scheme of building a nation and establishing a government of our own which we can operate without interference. Referring to the attitude taken by the U N I A Mr Garvey said they mired no so ret of the fact that the association adopted an attitude of aggressive propaganda, because, said he Nothing ever has been achieved by begging and beeching and compromising The U N I A. has adopted this attitude because they realized that it was historically right, fundametally safe and was the only way by which we can see salivation" Speaking of the success which the U N I A. a has achieved through the principle of "Africa for the Africana" Mr. Garvey said that a world-wide sentiment had been created by it and more people are thinking of the right-ousness of our cause than we seem to understand and hate, and because of the magnitude of the task before the U. N I A. there was a great need for men with big minds, big souls and big visions, men who could look into the future and foretell what was about to happen and provide against it if it was going to be disastrous. Injecting a little humor, Mr Garvey facetiously said, "When I talk about men I don't want you to misunderstand me. It is not everything that goes around in the latest cut suit I call a man." This created a ripple of laughter through the audience, which hitherto had listened with rapt attention, realizing the import of the utterances of the President General and the significance of his warnings to the rate to get behind the U N I A. and support it as their only hope. The only other speaker of the evening was Rev Dr Maloney, whose address, though brief was full of poignant truths and wholesome advice. He paid a deserving tribute to the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who he said, was unlike the past leader, in that he was a man who could not be bought one who thinks for himself and has the courage of his convictions. In him, he declared, we had the inspiration of a prophet, and when he speaks the world listens because he is a prophet. The speaker gave a logical dissertation upon the power of the mind, which he said was the greatest power in life. In conclusion he urged all members of the race to develop and cultivate their minds and concentrate upon the building of a nation that will be second to none, and with our minds concentrated in that direction Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands because princes shall arise and call her blessed. Following are the speeches HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows. I have before me this evening two significant bits of news—the one I would not call so much news, as it is an advertisement. The other is news published in a newspaper. I am going to read the advertisement so that you may have a thorough grasp of the meaning that I intend to attribute to it. It is an advertisement from St Louis, which is published by the Citizens Welfare Committee, a political body of the city of St Louis. "Voters, beware: twenty-five per cent of the candidates on the Republican ticket are advisers to be voted on at the election next Tuesday are Negroes. Do you want Negroes to represent you and your city on the County Board? Do you want them to say how your tax money shall be spent and how the affairs of your city and county shall be handled? This is a great insult to the voters and the people of our city and it is the duty of every white man and every white woman regardless of politics to go to the polls on next Tuesday and vote against the Negro Republican ticket. Stand up for your home and your city, vote against this outrage vote against those candidates vote for white men—Citizens Welfare Committee, election Tuesday April 4. Then I have another bit of news that comes from Portland. Ore I will not burden you with the reading of it but I will give you the substance. It happened that the people there used to indulge in the habit or custom of mixed gatherings, where colored men would meet white women at certain places and dance with them and socialize with them—like what used to happen around this neighborhood some time ago—and the white citizens called upon the mayor of the city to take immediate steps to stop the practice. The colored people got enraged and protested and the mayor, ignoring the protests of the colored people, ordered the police to arrest anybody they found in mixed gatherings of white and black socializing and immediately created an ordinance in the city prohibiting the two people to mix in any way, and it has gone so far that it has been upheld by the white citizens and by the Legislature of the State. What Do These Things Mean? To the ordinary man these things have no merit; they bear no significance. But those are the things we have been talking about, preaching about and writing about for the last four and a half years. All these things are leading up somewhere. We will all end in a bloody clash or a forced economic pressure that will cause this race of ours either of our own free will to pack our trunks and go or be satisfied to put up with the other man's outrages against us. We have here an open declaration by the white people of two States—Missouri and Oregon—of their attitude toward the Negro politically and socially. In Oregon they feel it a crime and an insult against the white race for black and white to socialise. In Missouri they think it an outrage and a crime that black men should be elected to political office to make laws and to govern the white man. I am sorry I have not clippings of another nature that I could have read to you. Touching the industrial side I just want to direct your minds to the East St. Louis affair of a couple of years ago—that massacre that Dr. Bunday spoke about last Tuesday night and that will give you the industrial link. You will remember that it was because of the white man's disgust in having the Negro an industrial competitor that we had the East St. Louis outrage of a couple of years ago. It was caused through THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 Principle of "Africa for the Africans" Gaining Momentum—More People Thinking of the Righteousness of Our Cause Than We Understand Movement Needs Big Men with Big Minds—The World Looking to U. N. I. A. to Accomplish Good Results STARTLING REVELATIONS MADE SHOWING THE TREND OF ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE NEGRO—WHITE CITIZENS OF ST. LOUIS OPENLY WARN AGAINST VOTING FOR NEGRO CANDIDATES—CITY OF PORTLAND, ORE, ENACTS ORDINANCE PROHIBITING WHITE AND COLORED PEOPLE ASSEMBLING FOR SOCIAL PURPOSES—GARVEY ANALYZES SITUATION—SAYS WHITE MAN WILL NOT TOLERATE NEGRO AS SOCIAL, INDUSTRIAL OR POLITICAL COMPETITOR Aggressive Attitude Taken by U. N. L. A. Is Necessary—Nothing Worth While Ever Achieved Without Aggressive Demand—Negro Race Will Not Be Respected Until It Has Established Government of Its Own industrial competition between white and black men for which the white laborers would not stand. Now we have the side side of it where they refuse to allow any socializing between the black and the white race, and on the political side we find that white voters have made an open declaration that they will not stand for black men to be elected for political office and make laws for them and govern them. Competition Between Black and White Now between industrial, social and political affairs of people you have everything that is worth while to that people, and whatsoever their attitude is in this respect will determine the situation that you are confronted with Socially thy white man will not tolerate the Negro industrially he will not tolerate the Negro as a competitor politically he will not tolerate the Negro as a competitor. What are we going to do? It means this, that if we are to live side by side with this other man that we must make up our minds to be satisfied with any condition he he forces upon us or we must seek an alternative and create for ourselves. U. N. I. A. Teaching Negroes to Create O. N. I. A. Teaching Negroes to Create for Themselves This has been the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last four and a half years. In teaching Negroes to create for themselves, because depending upon the other man's good will will never take us further than what has been declared in St Louis and what has been declared in Portland, Ora. The white man of America and the white man nowhere is going to countenance or stand social, industrial and political competition with the black man. That is to say, the white man is not going to compete socially with the black man, is not going to compete with him industrially, and is not going to compete with him politically, especially where he has the advantage of numbers, as in the United States of America, and those of us who are believing that better days are coming, when we are going to be nearer to the white man socially, that we are going to have better opportunities industrially and that we are going to have better privileges politically are making a tremendous mistake, because that day will never come. It is no use looking for it because it is written deep down in the hearts of the people that they will not tolerate it. Demands Will Be Made by the Negro And what is happening? We are becoming more educated, we are becoming more cultured and naturally we become more ambitious and our demands are greater—based more solidly upon our constitutional rights. Now as the Negro becomes more educated and more cultured in America he is going to demand better jobs politically. That means he is going to compete with the white man, and the white man is not going to stand any competition when he finds it is affecting him. It is all right when it does not affect him, but he is not going to tolerate us between now and eternity when we compete with him for the job he wants. I tell you this is no prophecy. It is just an opinion of a man who has studied the situation. Get the most divine archbishop in the United States of America: get the most devout Christian bishop in the United States of America today, and let him place his desire on the archbishopric of the State of New York. Though he be a great divine, and though he is an apostle of God, let any Negro attempt to run for that same job, and see how much love that divine will hold for you and give you (Laughter). Between religion and politics and industry there is no white man in this country so liberal as to allow a Negro to compete for the job he wants. I do not care how much profession he has made of his love for the Negro let him be bishop, archbishop or what not. An Impossible Mole So it reveals to you the fact that there is no use trying and hoping for the impossible. As white men become more numerous in America and in other parts of the world, so much more jealous will they be of their jobs and their positions and their social standing, and so long as one race remains weak and allows another race to be strong, that strong race that is numerically independent is not going to allow that weak race to compete with it for the things they want. And I am glad that these people show their intentions, because such things as these go to make concrete the statements we have made and the warnings we have given time after time from Liberty Hall, through the Negro World and through the various branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the length and breadth of this country. We have no time to waste. The time that we have now is time that should be put in for useful service—constructive work to prepare against the threatening dan- ger that suggests itself to us by the publication of such news as this. There is no hope for us politically behind the toleration of the man who has been good enough to have caused us to have gone so far up to the present. Some of our political critics will see there is great hope for us, because we have elected a State Senator and Assemblyman, and because of that we hope that one day we are going to have 10 or 15 men in the Assembly and 10 or 15 men on the Board of Aldermen and 10 or 15 men in the Senate. I want to bring this conviction and this thought home to the critics who would argue that way. The spirit of this country and the spirit of the white world toward weaker peoples is this: In a community of white people, where only one Negro happens to live, there is very little concern taken about the presence of that one Negro. That is to say he is not harmful because he is only an individual, and because of that no one is disposed to be unkind to him, or to even think that he is in any way an embarrassment. As for instance, in the Board of Aldermen—you have probably about 18 or 20 Aldermen and one Negro Aldermen; he can do little harm, and, therefore, the other 19 or the other 17 men would not pay any attention to the presence of one Negro there, because his vote is lost among the votes of 19 or 18 other men; but you let 10 Negroes get in there and see the change of attitude on the part of these Aldermen and the white community towards the entire Negro race. We have often seen one Negro living in a community of white people, and the white people are kind to him and treat him nicely, and receive him in a pleasant way, but let 10 or more Negroes move into that community and see how the attitude of that community is changed toward called仕 think that local people will elect one man and place him on the Board of Aldermen and place him in the Senate, or place him in the State Legislature, that this is a fair indication of the nation's attitude towards us. The more we become ambitious and cultured and educated the more we will demand such positions and by demanding such positions the more will we become the rivals of those other people who want the same jobs. There is no white Senator who is going to stand any true competition with any black man for his job. There is no white Congressman who is going to stand true competition with black men for his job, and if we were to place a black man to run as a candidate for every vacancy in the Hou. of Congress and the Senate, instead of effecting greater privileges for us it would force the white man to retaliate in the manner expressed by the circular which I have read and be questioned would be asked throughout the nation. Are we going to allow our country to be run by Negroes? And that is what we say is going to happen in another 60 or 100 years—not only will the question be asked in St Louis—do you want Negroes to say how your taxes money should be spent and how the affairs of your city and country should be handled, and do you want Negroes to represent you—such questions will be asked in a broader way in another 15 or 20 or 25 years. It will be—Do you want Negroes to represent you in your Senate and in your Congress, do you want Negroes to say how your government should be run. Now it is the State. It is going to be in the nation a little later and those are the dangers that we have been trying as an organization to point out to the 15,000,000 members of our race throughout this country and to let them realize that there is absolutely no secure future here in this part of the world until we have built up and constructed a powerful nation for ourselves on the continent of Africa. No Respect for Negro Race Without a Government I do not care what you say. I do not care what you do, whether the Negro lives in Africa or the West Indies, or any part of the world, he will never get social respect and social recognition—he will never get a square deal in industrial competition or in political competition until on his own initiative he has built up a government sufficiently strong to compel the respect of the world. I do not care how we pray and hold mass meetings and send petitions no change will ever come in the attitude of the world and the other races until on our own initiative we have done something to merit the respect of others. That is my warning to you again. There are some of us who pay little attention to what is said by members of the race, but hold in high regard what is said by the members of another race. The news I have read here is not published by Negroes; it is published by a committee of white men and women in the City of St. Louis. Those are the questions they are asking, and those are the GET READY TO SEND YOUR DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 1 Better relationship within the Negro Race. 2 The fostering of an international race confraternity. 3 The establishing of better commercial relationship between the Negro people of the world. 4 Discussing the plans for better Government of the Negro people of Africa. 5 Discussing better international representation and protection for the Negro people of the world. 6 Discussing ways and means of fostering and protecting independent Negro nationalities in Africa and elsewhere. 7 Discussing the future educational policy of the Negro. 8 Discussing the future religious faith and belief of the Negro. 9 Discussing ways and means of improving the industrial output of the Negro. 10 Discussing ways and means of better steamship communication between the Negro people of the world and the expansion of the Black Star Line. 11 Electing and appointing of competent leaders for the administrative control of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its auxiliary movements. 12 Drafting an international political program for the Negro people of the world. questions which will be asked throughout the length and breadth of the nation in another few years. So that in your own interest and to your own advantage I am advising you that you stick solidly to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help us to put over this grand scheme—the scheme of building a nation and establishing a government of our own, when no one will there ask us what kind of men we will have to tell us how to run our government. The time, I trust will come when we will be in a position to run our own government and make our own laws without the interference of anyone to ask whether we are right or wrong. An Aggressive Attitude Necessary An Aggressive Attitude Necessary The Universal Negro Improvement Association adopts an attitude of aggressive propaganda because it realizes that nothing can be achieved by begging and beaching and compromising Nothing worth while has been done with that spirit. Ever since man has been master of his own destiny and creator of his own fate the things that are worth while—the things that have been achieved by other races and nations—have always been brought about by the aggressive demand, the aggressive propaganda of those who desire the things done. So the Universal Negro Improvement Association has adopted this attitude because it realizes that --- it is historically right and it is fundamentally safe and because it is the only means and the only way and the only method by which we can see salvation. We are not discouraged with all they say and all they do, whether they come out openly and say we are not socially their equal or that we are not discouraged, that tends only to buoy us up and give us new hope and send us on with greater determination to put over this big program, because we find after all that the only program we have to depend on is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Without it there is absolutely no hope. I have said in Liberty Hall more than once that taking away the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is like taking away the life from you. Your life would be valueless because there is nothing to live for, nothing to hope for. Those of you who understand this program; those of you hearing it for the first time, I trust you will realize that it is something worth while, and anything that is worth while is worth while fighting for and if needs be dying for. The Principles Reasonable and Sound The principle of Africa for the Africans is a sound one, a safe one, a reasonable one. We have made great progress by it until today we have created a sentiment that is world wide and more people are thinking of the righteousness of our cause than we seem to understand and know. At this time we occupy a unique position among the races and nations of the world. They are looking towards us for the accomplishment of great things through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and if we have done so splendidly in the past in upholding the principles of the movement, in holding the colors high. I feel sure we will continue until our great convention reassembles in August of this year. We can expect great things of the convention. We have a bigger program to go through and we are expecting a body of men that we have never had before. This is the real time that we need them. We need big minds: we need big men of vision—and they are so few. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has grown beyond the conception of some of us. You will all understand and you will all Big Minds Needed know that four and a half years ago, four years ago, three years ago, two years ago, this was then a little movement, and the little minds of on race could handle it; but today the movement has become so big that it needs the biggest minds of the race to handle it. Some of you do not seem to understand the power and force of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The association in its scope, in its reach, is today a stronger power, a stronger force than any single government in the world. You know how much it takes o run the American government. It takes the brains of men like President Harding. Charles Evans Hughes, assisted by men like Bryan, Wilson and all the other statesmen center-d here and there to run the American government; and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has under control four times as many people as comprise the American government and the territory covered by the Universal Negro Improvement Association is one hundred times as large as the United States of America. Therefore you see the height of character, the depth of soul and the bigness of mind that it takes to carry on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The association has outgrown some of us and we do not seem to know it. You cannot look at this association from the little ordinary petty standpoint; you have to look upon it from the bigger international aspect, a.d. therefore you must have men of big minds, and it tires and sickens me when I find that the little things that may be settled by anybody are being brought up to disturb and distract those of us who are endeavoring to handle the bigger things. Big men like David Lloyd George of England or Brion of France or Ishult and Kato of Japan have no time to bother about the little details that concern individual parties. If they did they would soon find that somebody would get away with their country. You have to lift yourselves in height of thought to the bigger things that confront you. Looking Forward to Empire What are you looking for? You are looking for empire; you are looking for dominion; you are looking for political rights; you are looking for industrial and economic privileges and liberties, and therefore you must realize that (Continued on page 10.) NEGRO THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS Acquires Liberty Hall at Cost of $2,339.70, Also Organized Black Cross Nurses, Boys' Brass Band and Held Industrial Exhibition at Which British Governor of Colony Attended 8 Report of progress. The year 1225 began with the association practically owning but few things, such as a few benches and lamps and paying monthly rent. The year closed with the association in a very satisfactory condition, as it owns the magnificent two-story hall in which our meetings are held free of cost and for which the sum of $233970 was expended a piano a beautiful clock, a large mahogany table, decoration flags, stage curtain and other utensils for social purposes chairs benches and many other things. Besides these $340 were paid for funer al expenses, as well as other local expenses met while these is a balance of $22469 to the credit of the association. During the year a brass band for the boys was organized. One would be surprised to see the progress made by these boys, who only started about June. They were able to play during the exhibition at the end of the year. His Excellency the Governor of the colony was exceedingly pleased with them. The Black Cross nursing organization was started and today we have nurses, fourteen of whom passed the government examination and are now fully accredited nurses holding government certificates. A beautiful choir in connection with the local division was organized by Mr J N Anglin general secretary. This choir is doing magnificent work which is very profitable to the association Through the indefatigable effort of Mrs E Joe, the lady president who brought about a successful social the sum of $78 was sent from this division to the parent body for the redemption of Africa. A successful exhibition of industrial arts was staged on the 23d, 23d and 24th of December. This was the result of Mr William Campbell's exertions. The exhibition demonstrated the great and industrial ability of the colored people and further aided in the settlement of the country's ability to cultural and other industrial arts. The Governor, who opened the exhibition, declared his pleasure at so grand an undertaking and promised to help the association in the future on such matters. Notes of the exhibition are appended The building. The original cost of the premises was $2,200. To this were added $78 interest $40 insurance, $20,70 taxes and $1 clearing weeds from promises, making a total of $330,70 paid for the premises. The amount of $600 was paid down at the beginning of the arrangement and the balance of $1,600 Mr. Jones the then owner, very kindly gave the association three years at 8 per cent per annum to pay it. But by the great organizing power of the general secretary this amount, with all accomplishments, was paid off in less than a year. During the year, he some time in June, His Excellency the President General with the Hon Miss Vincent Davis visited the division and was pleased with the progress made. His Excellency went away very well pleased and took with him Mr. Samuel Haynes a young native who is doing his best in the States for his race. Some time in February the Hon Mr Bourne, Commissioner for Guatemala and British Honduras, paid a visit to the Belize division. He had very successful meetings and gave many advice to the executive officers. He unveiled a charter at Stann Greek and re-established the defunct one at Corozal. After spending a few days he went home.

Sherrill, was introduced by Mr Sampson. After addressing the officers of the division, Mr Sherrill complimented Mr Banks for such a lecture. Mr Sherrill said that if he did not say one word after Mr Banks was through, the people that heard Mr Banks had enough to think about if they would only answer to what Mr Banks had called for. M Sherrill then began his talk. His first subject was: "I Am Thinking of Another Man." Mr. Sherrill went on to tell what great works George Washington accomplished, what great works Abraham Lincoln and others had accomplished, but we are now to think of another man. He went on to say what th. great works of the N. A. A. C. P. had done, but there's a greater work.

Not a voice can call him coward But despisers term him the And the Pharisees are making Cause to crucify our Chief O. there is a mighty alliance As the freedom gazed in awe At the sentence that is pending To be settled by the law Foes are plaiting thorns for Garvey For his crucifixion day But his faithful, true disciples Will go with him all the way Only twelve walked here with Jesus But the Cross they could not hide.

A man is Garvey (the great cheers) Mr Sherrill then mounted high horse, and while he was on that high horse he rode some. He began his talk from the beginning of the movement in this country four and one half years ago up to the present time. Mr Sherrill is a man that is not irreligion for the association for the good that he can do the people. The association could not have found a better man than Mr Sherrill for that he holds. Mr Sherrill has the intellect, heart and he is honest and fair, dealing in every respect. So if the association can find more mon just like Mr Sherrill and send them out over the country there no reason why the L. N. N. should not be a success. It cannot fail.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, Preaident-General --- JUVENILES OF WILMINGTON DIVISION NO. 83 GIVE EASTER CONCERT Need of Racial Education Among Negro Children Raised By ALBERTA WILLIAMS On Easter Sunday the University of Wimmington left its M.P. sounted an interesting program. The weather was hot and mud, needled out to witness the exerture Mrs Heen West, the charming superintendent presided. After the opening greetings all eyes were turned toward the children, whose smiles flirted with the happy occasion. The first come forward was Miss Virginia Belford who graciously told Similee Little Miss Stafford had a ring in her voice that captured her audience Master Willie James Evans rendered Buck Up, which brought forth applause and laughter Master Johnnie James Crawford said just a few words, which were as follows. Though I am small and cannot wish I have this much to say (god bless Mary) and the Black Star Line. The youngster who aims to be a captain of one of the ships of the Black Star Line repeated the words slowly and deliberately and left the platform amid drowning chorea Miss Blanche Belford recited an Easter poem, which was well received Miss Amy Taster rendered an Easter selection on the organ and Master Will am Lafayette recited a poem Organized only a few weeks ago the children demonstrated on Sunday that a new era has dawned in the life of the colored boys and girls of Wimington. The earnestness and enthusiasm with which they impressed those who heard them proved conclusively that the greater part in the Redemption of Africa' will be played by these little heroes of today. Under the brilliant management of Mrs West and her energetic assistant, Mrs Lafayette the children are making much progress and will in time be a special asset to the division. The Rev George Griffin of Claymont in the course of his remarks said that this was indeed a great and honorable work we are doing. The Negro children of today need racial education very badly, and God in His wisdom has seen fit to bring about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through whose power and influence our sons and daughters cars to come will com- t and admiration of the work he did, several a very able and ringing student to the mothers and fathers of the children. She appealed for that support necessary to fit nom for the highest position in the land, and unhesitatingly drew the attention of her hearers to the remark of the Right Hon President General shortly after his arrest, when he used words to this effect. You may electrocute Marus Garvey you may put him in gaol you may do away with him, but there are hundreds of little Garveys scattered throughout the world who are ready to carry on the great work for the Redemption of Africa." This time) reminder brought forth prolonged applause and the superintendent ended up with the plea: Let us produce some Garveys and Henrietta Vinton Davies right here in Wilmington." Three beautiful colors were sung by the Hon R A Haynes Mime Lafayette Stephens and Mime Mamie Lafayette respectively which were received with much applause. HON. MARCUS GARVEY VISITS ATLANTIC DIV.

BRUCE The first Lord Shaftbury in a conversation with Locke advanced a theory of character and conduct which threw a light upon his own. He said that wisdom lay in the heart and not in the head and that it was not the want of knowledge but the perseverance of will that filled men's actions with folly and their lives with disorder. More knowledge does not give vigor to character. A man may reason too much. He may weigh the thousand probabilities on either side and come to no action no decision. Knowledge a has a back on action. The will must act in the right of the spirit and the understanding and the soul then springs in so full life and action indeed the learning of letters and words and sentences a not of the importance that some think it to be Learning has nothing to do with goodness or that destroy humanity and give place to pride. The chief movers of men have been so addicted to literature. Literary men have often acted to greatness of thought which influences men in an age but they rarely attain to moral greatness of action.

N. I. A. BY RICHARD A. CHARLES LIBERTY HALL, QUANTANAMO. Monday April 15 1922 - The usual literary meeting opened its sessions in the customary form Our hymn From Greenland a Ice Mountains, was sung The chairman Earnest Bridges, first vice-president presided The subject for discussion "The Fight Is On" was continued The first selection rendered was a recitation by Master Earnest Francis juvenile The Fight Is On The first speaker introduced was Prof. Bolton, who said that our determination must be unbroken and that we must prove to the world that we can do as other people have done. He was eloquent logical and interesting and paid a tribute to Hon Marcus Garvey for what he has accomplished May the God of heaven and earth keep and guide him in all his undertakings and set us rally around him and uphold the colors of the Red, Blue, and the Green. Robert E. Frank is thus not treated and was followed by R. H. Bachar on the subject. The Fight is On. He spoke encouraging and made an appeal to members to stick together. Second Vice President Joseph Brennan added to the literary fame by an oratorical effort that thruled the house. He was followed by Mrs. Mary Meade who recited He On Time very nicely. Capt R A Charles was the next speaker introduced taking in his subject "The Fight is On." The Fight is On. He is on the lecturer taking advantage of this topic in consequence of the uneasiness prevailing throughout the world at this time. We are forcing governments and nations to take matters and they are asking themselves the serious question "How are they going to settle the race question?" The new Negro is prepared to do or be. No more ringing or begging for Liberty! It must be given. Now is the time to show to the other fellow that we can organize Africa the land of mysteries. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has worked wonders. It has taught the Negro gain respect and standing in world he must do for himself. It has taught him that what other men have done he can do. It has taught that the color of the skin the texture of the hair are not the index of the potentialities of the race but it is the gray matter in the convolutions of the brain and the heart and will of man. The UNIA has given the UN faith in God faith in myself faith in his leader faith in the future of his race and faith in his term. That we but see the beginning of a world movement that will green all black men everywhere, insisting them with the impulses the ideals the hopes and potentialities the will the will carry a name upon the pages of human history and cause in world to look back upon the shortest century in the century which will end the awakening and soul upfit of the Negro people of the world.

Fourth Week LIBRARY HALL OF ANTASAMO Monday, December 10, 1910. The usual weekly literar. debate is organized its session at No. 10. The chairman for the evening was Charles A. Thomas. The first on the program was a charade. Mrs. Harte. This was well tendered and lettered credit making up the bulk of the letters of the alphabet. Each letter was appropriately used especially the letters M and O which stand for Marcus Garvey. This was followed by Richard H. Bacholar (Chapel) who spoke on present day conditions and stress on parents and guardians to be watchful of their children called attention to modern improvements the children will experience in the future so that this time to change the old system of education. He outlined the principles so that all quite understood him and that although conditions are not to our advantage nevertheless we can accomplish much if we concentrate our efforts. A song by Mrs M Meade B C N was sung to the delight of the audience. The next speaker introduced was Capt R A Charles who made an impromptu address. He said in part that the hour for action is here, but that whom the gods destroy they first make mad. He agreed with the Chapain in his earnest appeal to parents to get together and improve the understanding of education among the English speaking people in this republic. He brought several illustrations to hear out his statement from his personal experience and observations and study of natural history. "The changes among races due to climatic conditions," said he. "how must we meet the situation? The question confronting us today is disunity. We have heard of the many wrongs committed upon a defenseless people—the shooting down of native Africana. Do you think the great God of Heaven is asleep? (Cries of "Not Not!") Nations rise and fall, and we will live to see many fall to pieces. The wrongs heaped upon an innocent and harmless people are unpardonable to good sense and humanity Captain Charles called attention to members rallying around the colors of the Red, Black and Green to support the Matchless Leader. He made reference to how this race can emerge from its lethargy and rise to its former Ethiopian glory. He thanked all those who contributed to the March program it being the last literary meeting of the month and took the opportunity to welcome them to the fold. If this branch is followed up we can emerge from nothing to become a great factor. Equip yourselves like men to be strong, said he, prepare yourselves, so that whenever you are called upon you may be able to represent yourselves and the division The next was Madam Alexander who said in part I highly appreciate the spirit of your captain. He is indeed a wonderful weapon and must be encouraged. Men of his type we want. We have read and heard of him and this division before we came here and having seen for ourselves we can convey back to our friends on the other side that guardianismo Division is going over the top. We saw a spirit manifested here that we have not seen many places we traveled. Keep up the fire and so let convention see you mean what you say. Her gracious personality created man) friends and added new members to our fold. She certainly can get the bills when she makes an appeal from a business point of view. She sat down amidst much applause. The next speaker was Prof A Holton. On Perseverance. The zeal power and bold determination of his utterances won him an ovation and the name of Toussaint L'Ouverture and, with Marcus Garvey as his chief he means to support the cause and the leader financially and otherwise. Great men must be encouraged, and he. A speech by Ernest Francis (Juvenile) followed. This was masterfully done and he must be congratulated for his boldness. He is a promising young Garveyite and his parents and tutor must be encouraged to do him justice. The next speaker was Professor Alexander, who said, in part I intend leaving you soon, and I want your president to give me a good document to take back with me to New York Local No. 1 I also will give my farewell address on Sunday, April 2, and as an assistance to your building fund I will give a show on Friday March 31 from the proceeds of which I will give 10 per cent toward the fund. After making a few remarks he took his seat. The chairman made a few brief complimentary remarks and the singing of the Ethiopian anthem brought to a close one of the most interesting meetings ever held in Liberty Hall at 11 o'clock.

SPLENDID EASTER PROGRAM BY HARTFORD DIV A splendid literary program was rendered by Division No. 74 on Easter Sunday. The meeting was opened by singing of opening ode, followed by prayers by the chaplain, Rev. B. Washington The hymn, "Christ Arose," was beautifully rendered by the choir, Miss S. Wilson, pianist. Mr Horace Smith, treasurer acting as master of ceremonies, made some very timely remarks concerning the need of the race for sincere, whole-hearted men. He introduced as the first speaker the lady president Mrs. L. B. Dowden whose address Easter as compared to the Garvey Movement was very interesting and instructive. Due to the necessity for breaks, fitting remarks cannot be made here as to the excellency of times that entertained during the remainder of the afternoon. The program was an follows.

Albertha Banks THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. APRIL 29. 1922 CHICAGO DIVISION HOLDS BIG EASTER PROGRAM AND MEMORIAL SERVICE Stage Big Military Parade Through Principal Streets of South Side CHICAGO, III April 20 —The Chicago Division of the U N I A. which has grown in leaps and bounds during the past two years and bids fair of becoming one of the biggest divisions in the country staged an interestin, and inspiring program on Easter Supday April 16 It was a befitting day for the division to celebrate the annual festival observed throughout Christendom in commemoration of the resurrection of our Lord and Father. The resurrection of the Christ is not unlike the new resurrection of the Negro for it at the Christ arose from the grave on the third day to save his people and guide them on to virtue just so the Negro has had his resurrection, and arose from a state of lethargy and prolonged slumber, after having been crucified and dead, so to speak for five hundred years. The Grand Parade The military auxiliaries formed at Forty ninth and State street, where lies the U N I A grounds, on which in the very near future will stand the new skyscraper home the Chicago Liberty Hall of the U N I A. The African Legions, Black Cross Nurses, Motor Corps and Juveniles, numbering in the hundreds, splendidly and neatly attired in regulation uniforms, headed by the snappy U N I A Band of forty pieces, made a wonderful impression on the onlookers in the crowded streets as they passed in review exemplifying a determination to achieve and demonstrating a military hearing and spirit that would have made Toussaint L'Ouverture proud to look upon. Passing among the spectators as the parade moved on one would hear such patriotic remarks as Africa for the Africanang." The new Negro means business." "We want our own government." "We have a flag at last." The Negro must solve his problem and Hats off to the Red, Black and Green." Those remarks overheard show the great respect the Garvey movement is commanding even from those who are not active members. Dr Boyd Likens Marous Garvey to Ezekiel At 2:30 p.m the grand and impressive parade reached the hall, and the auxiliaries marched into the big auditorium where thousands were gathered, and the program for the afternoon was begun. President Kirby called the meeting to order and the huge crowd rose to their feet, as losing from Greenland's Ice Mountain" led by the U N I A choir, after which a special prayer by Chaplain Brown and the chanting of the Lord's Prayer by the assemblage. Madam Morgan the lady president, gave a brief talk on the contribution of the U N I A to the Negroes of the world, setting forth the aims and objects of the organization The was followed by a splendid selection from the L N J A Band, under the very efficient leadership of Director James The Hon W A Wallace Commissioner for the State of Michigan, read the roll call of deceased members for the past two years, and paid a wonderful tribute to the departed patriot. The chair, under the very excellent leadership of Prof Coma, sang very beautifully the appropriate numbers. Departed Friends and Christ Arose Prof Kirby read a very splendid poem on Death which suited the occasion and was well received. The Hon F O Haines Commissioner for the State of Missouri gave a brief address on Child Thought, in his usual logical and analytical manner. Mrs E L Coleman read a very appropriate and instructive essay on the crucifixion and the ascension of Christ which was well rendered and appreciated. Daddy Brown the chaplain the old-young man and the sweetheart of the division who always claims that the N A gave him a new lease on life gave a splendid talk on 'Christianity and Materialism. Our distinguished visitor in the person of Madame Coop from Monrovia, Liberia made a few brief remarks on Liberia, and said among other things that Africa is awakening and only hiding her time. The Rev Dr D W Boyd pastor of Liberty Baptist Church the New Negro preacher that has caught the sion preached the Easer sermon, and likened Marcus Garvey to the great Prophet Ezekiel who told his people of the resurrection of a new nation Dr Boyd took as his text the thirty-seventh chap and twelfth verse of Ezekiel. Behold (1) my people I will give your brain and cause you to come out of your brain and bring you NOTICE! NOTICE! The Head of the Unit of the Black Cross Nurses in each and every Division who desires a copy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association's Nurses Training Manual for each and every member of the Unit should send in immediately to the office of the Surgeon-General a complete list of the number of members in each Unit requiring same, so that we may know how many copies to have printed for each Division. Surgeon-General's Dept. The Grand Parade back in the land of Israel. Dr Boyd said, 'This meant the resurrection of a race and Garveys program means the resurrection of a race from Jim crowism economic slavey mob violence ku kluxism and the bringing the Negro up from the grave of injustice and persecution that has been his bed for five hundred years. Dr Boyd further stated that this is a practical age and an age of materialism, and the Negro has grown tired of singing the song "You may have all this world but give me Jesus," and while he (the Negro) always expects to hold on to his Jesus, he is going out now after some of the world and sing the other good old song that says, 'When I come to die give me Jesus.' Dr Boyd preached the sermon with much fervor and valence around the spiritual feeling of the great crowd to the altar. The secretaries were kept busy throughout the entire program throughout the entire program At the close of the meeting the great throng arrose to their feet and sang the grand old anthem Ethiopia the land of Our Lathers, and then dled out with a keener desire and a greater determination to put the big program over. Negro freedom is a new religion the religion of the new vision everywhere DIVISION NO. 287 HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING WATERLOO Iowa April 19 1922 The meeting of the U N I A Division No. 287 was called to order at 4 o'clock by our vice president Mr H W Mison. The opening hymn was sung followed by prayer. After the business part of the meeting the vice-president turned same over to the master of ceremonies Mr Henry Hart. The program was an follows. Short talk by Mr Austin Booth on Negro Cooperation, and he made many points showing the need of such cooperation. Address by Mr Ed Mills on Boost Your Organization in which he said whatever you are in favor of boost for that and don't try to pull the other fellow down but boost for your organization. Short talks by Mr Will Bell, General Carter and Mr Hart, all on Negro Cooperation. A paper was read by Miss Mary Catherine Glenn on the "Coming Men of the Race." She spoke favorably of our great leader and his work. She also spoke of the organization and the number of Negroes Marcus Garvey has organized in such a short period of time. A paper by Mrs. Irene Hall on the progress of the Negro since 1866, in which she said the Negro has far exceeded any other race on the face of the globe in progressiveness since that time. We as Negroes owe praise to God first for Marcus Garvey, then to Marcus Garvey for putting the U N I A on foot. We must put good in front then Marcus Garvey, and all will be well for the Negro race.

Solomon Plaatje Among Speakers Who Praise U. N. I. A. By RUFUB M ROMAIN BOSTON Mass (169 Camden street) April 18, 1922 Easter was fittingly celebrated by the Boston Division at its convention meeting on the 16th. The hall was decorated in a manner bespeaking rejuvenation and to make it all appropriate the lady president was in the chair and the juveniles (an auxiliary of the ladies division) rendered the program for the occasion. His Honor the Commissioner and Mr. Sol Piatto of South Africa were on the rostrum the latter to say adieu to the members of the division before sailing for his home town. He was full of praise for the efforts put forward by the S. I. A and took away with him the best wishes of the division As usual, the choir and band played their parts admirably and received in turn the plaudits of the audience and favorable comment of the speakers. The performance of the children was highly creditable and remains a source of pride to the who can be identified with the choir and the movement. The wee bits of carefully good three summers were not satisfying than the older one, and those who were present cannot quietly forget the recitations by the little Misses Lena Barnes and Nella Grant. Those by the Misses A. Coulender and I. Dagge are worthy of special mention and were warmly received. To the Misses E. McPherson J. Coulender H. Edwards Iris Douglas and Iris Bennet was entrusted the duty of bringing out the significance of the day a duty to which they were fully equal. With Miss End Barret on the violin and Iris Douglas and I Bennet on the piano the musical side of the program reached an excellence that we above reproach. In keeping with the usual custom, the meeting was not without its timely lectures. Opportunity was given to hear Mrs Roberts lady president of the New Jersey division deliver a message of encouragement and hope. The compassioner was warm in his admiration of the children's success, and thought much credit was due those who worked to make the meeting a success and to the parents. In announcing the reception which was to have been tendered the children by the directors of that auxiliary, he potently emphasized the prudence of allowing children freedom of enjoyment under proper direction instead of imprudent denials tending to possible imprudent requirements.

President-General properly than attempt to keep them from it, when they will learn and likely the most undesirable type." The vice-president, Mr Cooper, treated his listeners with his ever-ready wit and humor The next day the children wended their way to the hall at 1023 Trumont street, there to do justice to the repast provided for them. Once there they enjoyed themselves immensely and orderly, an enjoyment which reflected in their very faces. We are sure the division as a whole feels indebted to Mr. Dince Mrs. Barnes and Misses Lewis and Armstrong for the seal which made possible so pleasant an Easter evening and afforded the children so much pleasure.

PROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General RONIZE YOUR OWN ERY STORE NO. 1 # COMMISSIONER CREESE ORGANIZES THREE DIVISIONS IN CANADA IN ONE WEEK Halifax, Capital of Nova Scotia, Preston, N. S. and Africville, N. S., Lined Up with the U. N. I. A. 10 HALIFAX Nova Biodiversity April 20, 1922 Haifa the mighty one of the largest centers of Negro popu- lation in the Dominion of Canada, the seat of the famous Dohouse university the Washington (D.C.) of Canada has at last thrown in her lot with the rest of advanced thinkers of the race and has organized a branch of the L N L A Hon George D. Greese, High Commissioner for the U.N. in Canada felt that his work as commissioner in spite of all other success he has made could never be termed fully successful until he had accomplished the here man task of organizing a division in the city of Halifax. Arriving here April the commissioner immediately got to touch with some of the leading men of the race. These gentlemen in turn in produced him to other influential citizens. His mission was expelled after several days spent in interviewing and receiving valuable information from those who were most likely to render aid. The next step was to secure a suitable hall for a public meeting. We found a friend and succor in the person of Rev C. A. Stewart who came to our assistance and threw upon the basement of his church to us. On Tuesday evening April 11 thirty-seven members of the race assembled in this hall for the purpose of hearing the doctrines of the U N I A expounded. The meeting was called to order at 9 o'clock by Mr H Purt a brilliant young man and a promising statesman of the race. After singing the opening ode From Greeland's ley Mountains, the chairman introduced Mr M F Jemmott, president of the Afrilleville division, who in a short but interesting address told the audience of his faith in the ultimate aims and objects of the U N I A A. From the reception given Mr Jemmott one could easily see that the colored "Hallionians" were prepared to give the U N I A A a fair trial in Hailafax. Commissioner Creese was then introduced, and for one hour and a half he explained the aims and objects of this great Negro organization. The next speaker was the Rev C A Stewart, pastor of the church and a member of the Montreal division. The reverend gentleman spoke with fervor, and expressed a true sentiment for the efforts the U. N. L. A. is making for racial uplift. He warned the citizens of Halifax that they must guard themselves against the wrong interpretation given by many followers of the organization, and advised them not to organize if they intended to make of the organization a plight. If they are serious, however, and have a true desire to carry out its true aims and objects, he felt they will be an honor and pride to Halifax. With this timely advice the reverend gentleman closed his address amid vociferous applause. The next speaker was Mr Haygard (president-elect). He said, in part, although he knew very little about the organization, he felt from what he heard tonight that if properly guided a division in Halifax will accomplish much good for the people. With such encouraging expressions from the speakers Mr. S. Pitt, the brilliant chairman, summed up in a very scholarly manner the addresses of all the speakers. He then opened the meeting for anyone who cared to ask any questions from the commissioner. There being none we proceeded with the election of officers. This part of the program was arrested by the Rev Stevensa who offered some helpful and constructive criticism. Many of his points were well taken. Mr. B. A Husband and Mr. Thompson also joined in expressing their views at this point A motion was then offered by Mr Haygard and seconded by Rev Stewart art that a division be formed in the city of Halifax. Motion carried and the following are the officers elected: J. A. Haygur, president. J. W. Niles, secretary. H. Yard, treasurer B. A. Husband, chairman, Trustees-Advisory Board. Rev. C. A. Stewart, chaplain. After a standing vote of thanks was offered Commissioner Cresse the meeting came to a close at 12 p.m. Thus ended the first milestone of what promises to be one of the greatest U. N L A. branches in the Dominion of Canada. Hallifax has the material, and with a little encouragement may soon rival the leading division in Canada. Let all the divisions join in congratulating Hallifax and wish her "bon voyage" on the sea of universal Negro uplift. Great credit must be given to Mr. B. Pitt, Rev. Stewart, Rev. England, Mr. Cricchlow, Mr. Jemmott and Mr. Jas. Estwick of the Commercial Hotel, whose valuable advice and assistance to the commissioner have been responsible in a large measure for the successful establishment of the Hallifax division. Mr. Cresse journeyed to Preston, N. S., on Wednesday, a settlement ten miles from Halifax, and successfully organised another division there, making a total of three divisions organized in Halifax County within seven days. Following are the officers of the Preston division that were elected at a meeting held in Preston Hall Thursday evening, the 18th inst.

MALONEY SPEAKS Rev Dr. Mason as the first speaker, said Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, Members and officers of the New York Local and friends. This race of ours has for 300 years or more been suffering for want of some great champion from within the ranks who had the eye of the eagle and the scholarship of the elite, to be able to comprehend this whole pendant globe in which we live and to see the forces that are making or marrying empires and kingdoms and to see those forces with the eye of the mechanic who can control them and turn them to serve his ends. Past Leaders Influenced by Immediate Environment Our leaders here have been satisfied with looking into conditions only as far as their naked eyes could reach. When they were born in South they were regional they thought with the thinking of the Southern born in one of they were sectional—they thought with the thought of the Northern. We have not had a leadership that was sufficiently, comprehensively to take in the whole globe and to see the nations as they march onward on the great arena of life. Isolated into Many Different Units That is the reason why we have been as a group isolated into so many different units. Here we had the great mass of our people in the Americas. Here we had a great mass unknown to the Americans in the West Indies, here we had and her mass unknown to the other ones in South America, and another group—the largest of all—in our motherland. We were isolated in our ideas and isolated in our customs. Our ideals were different and divergent. We were English if we were brought up under the Union Jack, we were French if we were reared under the Tricolor. We were Americans if we happened to be born in America. Our ideas were not co-ordinated, our thoughts did not run in a single channel; but, thanks to the great God above us, in this day in which we live—in the twentieth century of this great era—we have found a man who is a prohensive statesman and one who sees life in its fullness—one who is the jostling of the waves has come forward and he comprehends the status of our people and has the voice and the courage of the statesman in a press it An Unbought and Foarless Leader We have been suffering for want of propagandists we were suffering for want of one from our side who could express the conditions of the war we have had leadership but lacked that was bought and paid for in world always compense because it was bought and paid for and so when we made our propaganda the most necessary to be compounded by those who bought and paid for our leadership. No thanks to the great gift above, we have found in the case in the person of our President general one who is not bought and cannot be bought; one who thinks for himself and has the courage of his conviction one who a secure because as a man his motives are sound and clear and his purposes are secure. We have been suffering for the want of a great prophet—one of the vision of the prophets of old—of the vision of Isaiah, of the vision of Ezekiel and Daniel—one who felt the pulse beat of his people and had the ability and he inspiration from On High to weld the ideas of his people. We have the inspiration of a prophet in our leader and when he speaks the world listens because he is a prophet. We have been standing in need of a dictator—not one who is simply interested in teaching us how to use our hands, but one who is interested in teaching us how to use our minds who is interested in teaching us that what other people can do the Negro race can do that what other men can think the Negro race can think, that as others goar in the realms of the intellectual and goar into the realms of the spiritual so we can goar into the realms of the intellectual and into the realms of the spiritual The Power of the Mind Do you know that the greatest power of life is the power of the mind? Of all the powers that mark the lives of men there is none greater than that of the mind. High walls and huge, the body may confine. And iron bars obstruct the prisoner's gaze. And massive bolts may baffle his design. And vigilant keapers watch his devious ways. Yet scorns the immortal mind this base control; No chains can bind it, and no cells enclose. Swifter than light it darts from pole to pole. And in a flash from earth to heaven it goes; It leaps from mount to mount, from vale to vale; It wanders, plucking honeyed flowers and fruits; It visits home to hear the fireside tales. And in sweet converse pass the jor- some hours. "Tis up before the morn, roaming afar. And in its watches wearies every star This is the conception of mind that has been brought to this benighted race of ours through the inspiring genius of our leader. Let us, therefore out of the spirit and imbued with this enthusiasm, have our minds opened up before us as the flower opens up because of the sunshine. let us have our conceptions clarified, let us have our ideals regenerated, reorganized and set in motion. Let us tune our wills to the will of the infinite who is expressed in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and just as surely as the sunrise, just as surely as it traverses the heavens rising to its zenith and then descending to surely shall the star of Ethiopia rise and take its place among the stars of other nations in the galaxy of the heavens. Let us develop our minds—cultivate our souls—for it is mind that rules the world. One of the great impressions that are received when one visits a great factory or industrial plant is the great machinery in motion or the furnaces as they kick forth the fire that melts the steel. The thought that comes to one who is really thinking is. What is man that Thou art so mindful of him and the Son of Man that Thou so regardest him? And then the answer comes to that question. Thou hast made him a lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor; for it is the mind of man that makes the machinery. It is the mind of man that controls the machinery; it is the mind of man that directs the machinery, and that machinery directed and controlled by man turns over things that man of his own physical power could not turn over. It is this machinery that can control the great industrial life of the day; this machinery that controls the economic life of the day; this machinery that controls the social life of the day; the great machinery that is moved by man's mind. And do you know what power can be accomplished if we exert our mind? As a man feels in his heart to be if we think we are great. If we think we are mighty—if we think we are powerful and we can concentrate upon that we shall be great we shall be powerful and we shall be mighty. If we think we ought to have a nation and will bend every energy in that direction, just an surely as there is a tool on high who has made of one people all nations for men to dwell on the face of the earth. He will say. Since it is your conception, since it is your idea or the output of your own mind through the exercising of your power with the aid that comes from Him, you shall have a nation. And if you want your nation to be second to none, you just have to develop and turn every ounce of your power and energy in that direction and Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her hands, because princes shall arise and call her blessed." (Applause.) CURBING CONTEMPT — COLOR There is a revolution before the Massachusetts Legislature to memorize congress in favor of the passage of the so called Dyer anti-lynching bill, which gives the federal government jurisdiction certain parts of the country over situations in which the danger of lynching is involved. The human and purpose of granting protection to our Negro citizens and in fact asserting constitutional protection of the due process of law to all our citizens is important to need the question. The cultural population of the world begins to come into its own. We hold the utterly right of the Negro regiment from slain in which refused to hold of the British to call for in the three to help the English hold down a their mercy and oppression the people of India. We are making enemies for ourselves beyond our borders and enemies which may become important enemies, by our practice of lynching. Perhaps more important than all, we are losing the respect of the thoughtful just and the terminating people of the world by the violation of laws and beliefs. NEW DIVISION IS FORMED AT CLAY. KY.

He said: "It is in the bitter school of experience that Turkey has learnt what is indispensable to her status, namely, full recognition of her right and independence. The exceptional measures (meaning the capitulations) applied to us in the past have hampered our development, and have been responsible for serious wrongs and difficulties. The foundation-stone of real peace in the Orient would be to apply in Turkey the principle of equality in judicial, financial and economic domains. This would constitute the just and genuine solution of the Near East problem." Lewnk Pash went on to refer to territorial claims, saying that no country paid a heavier tax for her defeat in the great war than Turkey, which had lost over two thirds of her territory. Turkey could not consent, he said, to any limitation of her sovereignty over what ethnically, historically and economically remained hers by right. Her sacred rights had been invaded, and the majority of the nation had been forced to take up arms. Her present peace aims were the minimum which could fall to her if the principle of nationality and independence and the other principles admitted by the whole civilized world were put into practice as regard to Turkey.

FIGUEROA, Editor La Redención de Africa es Una Cuestión de Algunos Afios Mas—Todos Los Negros Debemos Trabajar Unidos en Beneficio de la Raza—Las Poseciones Africanas Deben Ser Devueltas a Sus Propios Duesfos —Estadistas de la Raza Blanca Interesados en Una Nacionalidad Africana—Africa Para Los Africanos Ha Sido y Será Siempre Nuestro Lema Por mas de cuatro años nuestra organización ha venido advocando la causa de Africa para los africanos, es decir, que los pueblos Negrós del mundo se compenetren de la gran necesidad de una nación en el continente africano, por y para ellos. Cuando inauguramos esta propaganda con ese objeto un gran número de los tal llamado intelectuales pusieron el grito en el cielo con las teorias de que los Negros que habitan en el hemisferio occidental no estaban interesados en Africa ni podían vivir alli, siendo innecesario el que se persiguiera una propia nacionalidad independiente. Durante el transcurso de ese tempo nuestra organización ha hecho su circuito alrededor del mundo con su propaganda v vemos que eminentes estadistas y directores de la raza blanca aparecen patrocinando la causa de la colonización africana por los Negros que habitan en el hemisferio occidental Sus manifestaciones sobre el particular han sido publicadas en los diarios del país en distintas ocaciones Hace pocas semanas el Senador MacCullum de la legislatura del estado de Mississippi introdujo una resolución con el propósito de pedir al Congreso de los Estados Unidos de America v al Presidente el uso de su influencia para conseguir de las naciones aliadas suficiente territorio en Africa como liquidación de la deuda, cuyo territorio deba ser usado para el establecimiento de una nación independiente para Negros americanos. Poco tiempo después el Senador France por el estado de Maryland expresó su deseo de un modo identico en el Senado de los Estados Unidos diciendo: Tenemos un deber contraido con Africa el cual hemos ignorado por largo tiempo. No necesito entrar en detalles sobre el interes peculiar en la obligación al pueblo africano. Millares de americanos han contribuido por muchos años al trabajo misionario llevado a cabo por los hombres y chimuleres nobles enviados al continente africano por las voygaciones religiosas de este país. Estés y otras tantas manifestaciones revelan claramente un gran cambio en el sentir de estadistas prominentes y su actitud sobre la cuestión de Africa. La realización de una nacionalidad africana se aproxima, es una cuestión de muy pocos años mas, es tan razonable y tan posible como lo fue la idea de una nacionalidad americana en esta parte del globo. La labor de nuestra organización es muy práctica y puede ser realizada por medio de la cooperación de los elementos de nuestra raza. En no lejano dia el Africa se vera completamente colonizada por Negros del mismo modo que Europa esta colonizada por la raza blanca. Queda a nuestra consideración el aceptar la ayuda de hombres como los senadores MacCullum y France. Aunque sus métodos difieren en parte a los de nuestra organización, creemos el perseguir la realización del mismo objeto. Queremos una nacionalidad africana independiente y si America ha de ayudar a los pueblos Negros del mundo al establecimiento de tal nacionalidad, hemos de aceptar su asistencia. Nos abriga la esperanza cuando llegue el momento supremo de que el Negro antillano y el Negro americano se establezca en Africa, realize su responsabilidad y su deber. No hemos de ir a Africa con el objeto de ejercitar nuestra supremacia sobre los nativos. El propósito de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra en el establecer allí una hermandad cooperativa la cual convierta en uno solo el interés del native africano, del Negro americano y del Negro antillano. Hemos de entrar en una asociación comun para reconstruir el continente, en beneficio de nuestra raza. Por ley natural no existe absolutamente diferencia alguna entre el native africano, el Negro antillano y el Negro americano, todos descendemos de una misma familia. Solamente hemos sido divididos y separados accidentalmente por mas de trescientos años, pero sentimos que al reunirnos de nuevo hemos de hacerlo con un espíritu de hermandad y amor. Aquellos que se crean superiores a sus hermanos en raza metéran un grave error. El Negro ha sufrido lo suficiente con la práctica de superioridad de raza sobre el impuesta por los demas y no esta dispuesto a tolerar semejante práctica por parte de elementos de su propia raza. Tales miembros de nuestra raza se encuentran en el continente americano y en las Antillas, los cuales esperan que cualquier reajuste en los asuntos de la raza ha de ser colocado en sus manos para que ejerzan la clase de dirección despótica y autocrática que nos ha sido impuesta por otros en centenares de años transcurridos. Las masas de nuestra raza en America estan de acuerdo con las aspiraciones de los nativos africanos. Constituir un imperio en el cual todo Negro, nacido en Africa o en el hemisferio occidental, tenga la oportunidad de desarrollarse bajo la protección de la mas favorable de las instituciones democráticas. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 Nuestra Raza en Francia Hemos notado en afos recientes muchos casos de jóvenes intelectuales de nuestra raza los cuales voluntariamente se han expatriado, porque encuentran la civilización del viejo mundo mas apropiada para su desenvimiento que la del nuevo continente L'Opinion de Paris publico una carta de unos de estos jóvenes, que en honor a la verdad es algo fuera de lo ordinario. Su nombre es Norval Barksdale, miembro de nuestra raza, nacido en Kansas City Su principal atractivo en Francia es que ese pais desconoce por completo la segregación de razas. Su carta traducción por el Living Age de Boston dice en parte El pueblo de Francia se ha detenido por un momento para escuchar las palabras de un joven; un americano de nacimiento, un miembro de la raza Negra pero un francés por selección. Estamos convencidos de que los pueblos Negros del universo hallan su salvation en la civilización francesa, prefiendendo esta a la política alemana, inglesa de americana La civilización francesa ha producido un Toussaint L'Ouverture, un Alejandro Dumas, un Rene Maran y un gran número de otros estudiantes y escritores franceses, los cuales han tenido en sus venas sangre africana. Entré las naciones teutonicas los miembros de la ratez Negra, no importa cuan cultuada sea su inteligencia, solamente encuentran obstaculos y decepciones Felicitamos al Negro frances. El conocce la verdadera libertad, el ha tenido la oportunidad de disfrutarla Mas de un Negro americano ha encontrado en Francia la clase de tratamiento que nunca hubiera sojado conseigir en los Estados Unidos de America. Durante la ultima guerra el trato recibido por las tropas Negras de parte del pueblo francés recenti violentamente la actitud americana. Francia trato a todos los soldados con la misma política democrática, debido al buen sentido comun del soldado Negro v no a alguna suggestion del punto de vista del blanco americano Se ha dicho varias veces que Francia trata al Negro de ese modo por el hecho de que ella nunca ha estado en contacto con una gran población de la raza. Estas manifestaciones han sido modificadas en cierto grado. Francia llama a su servicio anualmente 250 000 soldados Negros según los últimos reportes. El mismo número es licenciado todos los años del servicio y de estar un número aproximado a 80 000 permanece definitivamente en Francia. Aristocracia Americana Las circunstancias han demostrado que la vieja democracia de los Estados Unidos de America ha sido reemplazada por la forma de gobierno mas imperialista que jamas has existido. Hace poco tiempo el imperio mas opresor del mundo fue derrumbado por los golpes de los pueblos que el alma o oprimir. En esa epoca se creó que tal caída era el fin de los gobiernos absolutos, pero de gracidamente esto dio lugar a la aparición de un gobierno imperialista aun mayor. En Rusia exista solamente un dictador. En America hay varios dictadores. Hace diez años meses el electorado de este pas cometió uno de los errores más grandes que hayan podido registrarse en los anales de la historia. la elección del Presidente Harding. Hoy afrontamos de nuevo uno de los casos mas desagradables durante su administración. la repetición de lo que ocure en Puerto Rico. El Presidente Harding sin respetar la lev de Servicio Civil y sin ninguna consideración hacia sus concuidanos, suspende treintidos oficiales de uno de los departamentos mas importantes del gobierno. Alhora podemos ver claremente el porque E. Mont Reilly, gobernador de Puerto Rico, director de la campaña electoral de Harding en el estado de Kansas, sin respeto a las leyes insulares y federales, se convierte en un "dictador" apesar de las protestas de los nativos de la isla dirigidas al Presidente de esta republica Sinembargo, el pohre Mr. Debs, por la violación de una lev tal como la Servicio Civil fue humillado y reducido a prison por cera de dos ahos —Carta de J G M'J al editor del New York World Hon. Nilo Pecanha Presidente Del Brazil El Dr Nilo Pecanha re electro presidente del Brazil, nacio en Nithony, Brazil, el 7 de Abril de 1868. Su madre era Negra brazilena y su padre era italiano. El Dr Pecanha empezo su vida sendiendo periódicos en la ciudad de Rio de Janeiro y su educación era muy limitada. En 1898 el joven Pecanha fue electro Mayor de la provincia de Nithony, en 1900 al Congreso y en 1902 Gobernador de Rio de Janeiro. A la expiración de su término el Dr Pecanha fué electro Senador por el mismo estado y en 1906 se realizó el sufío de vendedor de periódicos. Por una mayoria de mas de 200,000 votos el Dr. Pecanha ascendió a la presidencia de la república por el partido federal, sirviendo hasta 1910. Después de haber servido como Premier, ha sido re-electo a la presidencia en Marzo 5 de 1922. El Senador King Deflende in Republica de Haiti El senador King, demócrata, de Utah, ex-membro del comité especial del senado que durante algunos meses has estado investigando la ocupación militar norteamericana en Haiti y la república Dominicana y la situación general en ese país y el cual ha presentado al senado una resolución pidiendo que se convuen en Haiti las elecciones generales para antes del primero de Julio próximo y se retiren las tropas de ocupación dentro de ses meses después de instalado el nuevo gobierno, hizo en el senado la siguiente exposición No es un objeto discutir la resolución que está ante el senado sino llamar la atención en breves palabras hacia algunas de las resoluciones adoptadas por el Union Patriotique Haitana Committee Central, organización de haitianos residentes en Haiti. No estoy completamente penetrado de la naturalza y objeto de la organización, pero tengo informes de que se compone de algunos de los mejores ciudadanos de Haït que se oponen a la ocupación de su país por las fuerzas militares y navales de los Estados Unidos y desean que nuestro gobierno abandone toda la autoridad política y domino haït y su pueblo. Como saben los senadores, nuestro gobierno envio buques de guerra a aguas haihanas hace varios afios y desembarcó marinos en la isla. Ultimamente la constitución bajo la cual vivió el pueblo de esa nación y por la cual era gobernado, fue puesta a un lado, adoptándose una nueva constitución. Los haitianos reclaman que la acción de los Estados Unidos es injusta: que apoyado en las fuerzas militares topos posición de su gobierno, suspendió su constitución y que en contravención al derecho internacional y al respeto que debiera existir entre las maciones, gobernahera a su palus. Los haitianos también denuncian que estoumos tratando de imponer por la fuerza un empréstito al pueblo hitiano y que el presidente de Haiti y otros funcionarios estin dominados, coaccionados, por las fuerzas militares de los Estados Unidos, que ocupan puntos estratégicos en la isla. El senador luego le ante el senado la protesta de la sociedad de haithanos a que ha aludido, er nombre del gobierno y del pueblo que representa contra la usurpación de las funciones de la asamblea nacional por el denominado consejo de estado que ha nombrado M. Dartiguenave y que es revocable a su voluntad Protesta también la resolución haitiana contra el derecho que se attribuye ese cuerpo ilícito para elegir al presidente de la república y ratificar los tratados internacionales. Por ultimo el comité central haitano encomienda al señor Georges Sylvain, con el carácter de aministrado delegado, para que transmita al senado de los Estados Unidos esta resolución aprobada en la asamblea del comité el 31 de Marzo de 1922. El senador concluye pidiendo la investigación de las cuestiones de Haiti y que se informe pronto al senado sobre la situación en ese país. Enjuiciamiento Del Gobernador de Puerto Rico SAN JUAN Puerto Rico - El escrinto de acusación del gran jurado de Puerto Rico contra el gobernador Reilly es sumamente extenso y entre otras cosas en el se hace hincapie en que si la investigación de los cargos de demora por un año el tesoro público sufrirán perjuicios. Ya se ha dado orden al bcal de proceder al enjuiciamiento del gobernador Reilly v los demas acusados, de acuerdo con las pruebas presentadas al ministero publico por el gran jurado En el informe del gran jurado se pedía al tribunal que se diese lectura pública a todas las actuaciones, habiendose negado a ello al principio el juez Foote, alegando que el principio no podía presentar pruebas para que los tribunales basaran en ellas su accion judicial, aparte de que los tribunales no tenian competencia para conocer de las irregularidades denunciadas. El jurado insistió en presentar el informe al tribunal, que era el resultado de su investigación, el cual ponian en manos de los tribunales conforme lo mandaba la ley. El juez Foote volvió a insistir en su negativa, por lo cual el gran jurado pidió al tribunal que entregase el mencionado informe a las autoridades fiscales para proceder al enjuiciamiento del governador Reilly. Opinion de la Prensa Neu yotquina Sobre la Actitud de Relly El que el gobernador de Puerto Rico, E. Mont Reily, sea o no culpable del empleo inebido de fondos por el que ha sido procesado, es de importancia secundaria. Las sumas de que se trata son despreciables y parece que implicaria escasa dife rencia el que se las retirara con cargo a un capitulo un otro del presupuesto. Pero el procesamiento del gobernador es una nueva indication de que Mr Reily esta a pinnato de llegar al final de su carrera en Puerto Rico. Es de esperarse que sea exacto el rumor de que se haalla en visperas de retirarse a de-empe fiar un cargo menos accidentado en Washington Dado que la administración tiene que hacerse cargo de el en cualquier forma, el cambio, si hubiera de realizarse, seria ventajos tanto para los puertorquienos como para los Estados Unidos. En Washington Mr Reilly es solo un ejemplo entre otros muchos políticos parecidos a el, en Puertorico es una espina clavada en la carne. El prestigio del goberno de Mr Harding aumenta con su retiro, porque ninguna persona que pudiera sucederla podra hacerlo por que el lo ha hecho y todo el mundo lo haría mejor Con el tiempo las administraciones que ganen la elección por un gran margen de votos procedentes del partido contrario llegarian a tener la impresión de que deben usar alguna discreción, a pesar de todo en la designación de gobiernadores para las dependencias territoriales. Un organizador de estado del genero mas utily para el que puede naher secretos políticos en Kansas City puede resultar absolutamente incompatible con la menos irritable de las razas sometidas, por bien intenciónados que puedan ser sus ensavos de eficiencia y reformas. Mr Reilly ha aparecido al mismo tiempo estupido en incompetent en Puerto Rico a causa de que se hallaba superativamente fuera de lugar. Eran un republicano digno de premio, como el amigo de Mr Bryan era un democrata digno de premio, pero esa era la una recomendación que tenia.—New York World Tan ruidoso ha sido el clamor contra el gobernador de Puerto Rico, E Mont Reilly, y tan persistentes son las acusaciones presentadas contra el que en justicia para el mismo debiera realizarse una investigación sobre la situación reinante en las isla. Si ha sido injustamente acusado, sus enemglos debieran ser reducidos al silencio. En forma contraria tendría que ser relevado. Los cargos terminantes hechos contra el gobierno de Puerto Rico no han sido probados. Son por si mismos, no obstante, de tal naturaleza que demandan una investigación. Comprenden acusaciones de destitución y amenazas de destitución de ciertos jueces, el empleo de la policía para fines partidarios y el nombramiento de funcionarios incompatibles con los isleños y sus intereses. Mas recientemente graves acusaciones de irregularidades financieras han sido presentadas por un jurado puertorriqueño Cualquiera que sea la verdad de estas diversas acusaciones, persiste el hecho de que el governador Reily ha incurredo en la antipatía de una gran parte de la administración de la isla Era tan grande la excución que antes de suspender sus sesiones en Febreror el senado puertorriqueño, rehusóse a confirmar varios nombramientos hechos por el governador y aprobo una resolución requiriendo la investigación congressional sobre sus actos. Si esta es simplemente una tempestad en un vaso de agua, parece que ha llegado el momento de ponerle un final — New York Tribune No obstante la activa e intensa campaña desarrollada por las clases dirigentes de Puerto Rico, encamina a obtener la remoción del actual gobernanar, designado por la Casa Blanca, de Washington, para ejercer la directiva fiscal, política y administrativa de la isla, el presidente Harding se obstina en mantener al senor Reilly, que bajo nungun aspecto es persona grata para la opinion publica y que no responde a las necesidades de una eficiente organización constructiva, como que todos sus actos son inspirados en un instinto de repulson peculiarisma, para aquellos elementos que, censurando sus procederes, quieren estimular y levantar el nivel de la ciudadania, buscando derroteros de ampha libertad e independencia, de conciliación y de justicia. Los días y los meses se suceden en interminable monotonia, para los hijos de aquel pueblo altivo, que ha escrito en la historia, paganis brillantes de gallardia y de patriotismo, que ha modelado su ciudadanía en el crisol de todas las tolerancias, que ha conservado intangible el territorio solariego que conquistó después de epica lucha, contral las aquerridas fuerzas espafolias, que, vencedoras en Europa, recorrian la porción americana, con todo el vigor y el coraje de su estirpe guerrera, enarbolando el pabellón de los revues cristianos, que por tanto tiempo tremoló orgulloso sobre las alménas de sus castillo y sobre los piechos distantes de sus posesiones coloniales. Hoy ese pueblo que nutrió su organismo en la savia indomable de los pennsulares, desfila en exilio doloroso por los paises vecinos, anestesiado por los vejamanes de que es victima su patria por parte de una nacion poderosa, que no quiere hacerle la justicia que se merece y que pretende implantar en el antes tranquilo ambiente lugareño, el reinado de la anarquia y del desorden, de las persecuciones y de los atropellos. —J A Cásserea. El Idolo de la India Gandhi, el jefe indio que languidece en la carcel acusado de sedicción, ha experimentado varios cambios de caracter y metodos de vida, que son pintorescos y extraordinarios. No muchos años ha Gandhi, con sombrero de copa y palaimas, era un estudiante de leyes en Inglaterra. En los ultimos meses ha sufrida toda clase de privaciones, encontrandose cast sin un centavo, por haber dado su fortuna entera a la causa de la libertad de la India. Ha caminado por las calles de las ciudades indostancias calcamadas por el sol, descalzo se ha limitado al consumo del arroz, v ha temido el agua como unica heida. Por espacio de muchos meses ha dormido sobre duras tablas, v todo por penitencia, para la purificación de su alma v en cumplimiento de uno de los preceptos indostantos. Gandhi, un hombre apacible, es a la vez un pensador profundo y de gran intellectualidad. De su persona se desprende un ambiente de santidad que ha hecho que sus compatriotas io designen con el nombre de "manhatma" que significa "santo". Este feje indio heredo un temperamento sumamente religioso de su madre, que le educo en sus primeros años de acuerdo con los ideales del ascetismo. Para el servicio de la humanidad es el ideal mas sublime que existe y los medios se cristalizan en un lema pasividad contra la violencia. El secreto del domino que ejerce Gandhi sobre el pueblo de la India es su per-onalidad. De voz suave, casi musical, cuando ha faseina a sus audiencias. Aun, cuando languideza en la prisión, Gandhi sera siempre el ideal del pueblo indostanco. vinguna condena lo hara desprenderse de sus ideales. Millones Para Explotar Ingenios de Auzcar en Cuba y Santo Domingo Los gerentes del Cuba Dominican Sugar Development Syndicate han informado que se estan formulando planes para la organización de una nueva firma, con un capital de treinta millones de pesos, para la exploitation de la industria azucarera. La nueva firma se organizará con miembros accionistas de dicho sindicato el cual representa una gran fuerza financiera. Las empresas Howell y otros grandes grupos financieros tendran representación en la junta directiva. Las propriedades afectadas tienen una capacidad productiva de cerca de 1.200.000 sacos de azucar anualmente Los gerentes están autorizados para vender, con objeto de levantar capital y pagar ciertas cuentas, 30 948 acciones preferidas y 516.831 acciones comunes, las cuales han sido ya ofrecidas a los suscritores del indicato y vendidas en gran parte.

La libertad de Semenoff coincidió con la repentina llegada a Nueva York del Senator Borah, enemigo suyo declarado, que se cree conferenciará con el fiscal Hayward, del distrito federal, para ver si es posible perseguir al "ex-atamán" socaso por perjurio, ya que no por asesinato.

Foreign, Commercial and Industrial Notes By ARTHUR E KING Belgian Congo's Debt to Great Britain At the time of the armistice Belgian Congo owed Great Britain £2,251,000 At present this has increased to £3,550,000 or $17,288,000 at the normal rate of exchange Copper Mines in the Belgian Congo The copper mines controlled by the Belgian Government are situated in the Katanga district, which holds a pre-eminent position in the world' copper industry and where more than a hundred deposits of copper are worked by the Union Minere du Haut Katanga an English company. At Ilisabethville, where the works extend over the Kambove and Star veins there are seven smelting furnaces producing 40,000 tons of copper per annum. The Kambove vein extends from Ilisabethville to Ruwe and was prospected by the agents of the Langanska Concessions Ltd from 1900 to 1900 the date of the establishment of the Union Minere. The confession is for all the veins and deposits of copper and ton of the upper Katanga and is for term expiring in 1900. All the ore extracted from the mines is treated by the foundry at Lubumbashi, near Llisabethville, and is an oxydized ore, malachite being one of the most frequently met with forms in the Katanga. The ore smelted in brass furnaces (cooled externally by a circulation of water) gives raw copper with 96 to 97 per cent of pure copper. To treat 100 tons of this ore 80 tons of limestone or iron ore and 36 tons of coke must be added in the blast furnace. The Lubumbashi foundry employs 200 European workmen and 2,500 natives. Another important center is in the course of development at Likasi, 150 kilometers northeast of Llisabethville, and connected by the principal lines of Kamantanda near Kambove. Concentration works using the electrochemical system with a capacity of 4,000 tons per day, have been operating since 1920. Market for Motor Cars in French West Africa The use of motor vehicles has increased rapidly in the principal commercial centers of French West Africa, as is illustrated by the fact that taxis may be found in the larger cities, such as Dakar. The imports into French West Africa increased from 143,027 francs in 1913 to 5,895,136 francs in 1920. While France supplied over 94 per cent of the imports in the pre war years, the United States furnished 85 per cent of the cars imported in the years following the war, including 1920. Of the 551 cars imported in 1920, Senegal and Sudan took 376 Dahomes 91 the Ivory Coast, 69, and French Guinea, 15. The year 1920 showed an advance in French importations, which increased to 18 per cent of the total from about 8 per cent in the three preceding years, while the shipments from America fell from about 90 per cent to 71 per cent of the total in the corresponding period. The returns for the first nine months of 1921, excluding the Ivory Coast, if compared with the preceding year, showed a marked decrease, 152 cars, valued at 2,250,983 francs, having been imported Textile Trade of Nigeria Nearly 100,000,000 yards of cotton piece goods, valued at $30,000,000 were imported into Nigeria, British West Africa, in the year 1920. This trade represented an increase of 25 per cent in quantity and nearly 50 per cent in value over the previous year. The principal lines of cotton goods imported are gray bafts, croydons, shirtings, domestics, mulls, dhooties, twills, brocades, sateens, drills, blankets, misquito netting, tussors, shantungs, muslins, damasks, flannel, flannellete, handkerchief cloth for African wear, shirts, hosiery and clothing of all descriptions. Suiting and silk handkerchief for headwear (36 by 36 inches) and for pocket use are usually stocked. There is also some demand for plush, cotton velvet (in 6 to 10 yard pieces), silk velvet, black and white thread on reels and in packets and crochet cotton in skeins and balls. There is a great demand for fish cord, net cord and twine for bagging purposes. The importation and sale of folded woven goods are regulated. A large business is done in black, white and colored cotton yarns and also in wool yarns. Some native cotton weaving is done, and the products are durable and sell at prices which compete with imports from Manchester. Tarpaulins, umbrellas, hats and caps (smoking, fez and golf), canvas for slipper making, and fishing nets are also received from abroad in considerable quantities. Over 5,250,000 gunny bags were imported into Senegal in 1920. Grass bags measuring 42 by 28 inches and 28 by 15 inches are manufactured in the Munshi province by natives at a cost of approximately 12 and 6 cents each, respectively. These bags are sold to native middlemen for use in the local produce trade Improved Communications in Abyssinia SAN FRANCISCO BRANCH NO. 148 OF U. N. L. A. AND A. C. L. A new trade route into Abyssinia is being opened which is expected to reduce transportation costs and effect a saving in the difference between the customs dues in France and British Somaliand. Sunday, March 26 was a banner day for the members of the San Francisco branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Literary and Dramatic Club of the division rendered a very interesting program at the Hamilton Hall. The attendance was very good and each and every one expressed the enjoyable time they had spent. Every item on the program was well rendered and relied the most attiring applause. There is no doubt the Literary and Dramatic Club scored its first goal and there is every reason to believe they will score many many more. This route starts at Berbera, which as a port is equal to Djibouti and has as good communications with Aden. Thence it leads south-west to the pass at Dubin and then to Hammas, reaching the highlands by a steep ascent of 2,600 feet through the Murga pass to the plateau on which is situated Au Bakhadle. From this town the route will follow the Merodiji River valley to Hargesia, which can probably be reached in five days from Berbera, and from Hargesia the camels will proceed to the frontier, which will probably be crossed at Elinta Kaddo, where a customs station will be located. In Abyssinia the route passes through Dallo and Gabribaya to Jigjiga, which should be reached in four days from Hargesia. One day's journey farther will bring the caravan to Harrar and on the second day it will arrive at Dire Dawa, where it will connect with the French railway. The master of ceremonies was Mr W R Williams and the main speaker was Proof L J J Adams who made a short fortable appeal for Negro men and women to talk to the call of the Universal Negro improvement Association. We also had as our honored guest Mrs. C. Jones who made brief remarks. The following is the program PART I 1. Opening ode. From Greenland's Ice Mountains 2. Prayer by Chaplain M Gopaul 3.

The camel rates from Dire Dawa to Pigjiga have not yet been established, but between Jigjiga and Berbera the charge will be 6 rupees for the upward trip and 2 rupees for the return trip if loaded. A camel usually carries 250 pounds. The principal commodities originating in Abyssinia which will be carried over the new route are coffee, feathers, gums, hides, skins and ivory. In the opposite direction cotton piece goods, tobacco, grain, provisions and sugar move in considerable volume. Petroleum and Bitumens in Madagascar The following is a translation of an excerpt from a report by the Mine Service of Madagascar, published in the Bulletin Economique, Tanarive: "The exploration work for petroleum that was undertaken by two English companies at Moroboaly and Morafenobe was not continued during 1920. "A number of mining claims (bornages) for hydrocarbons have been made by foreign prospectors. The colony in order to reserve for French capital a part of the land reputed to contain petroleum has taken in its name nearly 1,800,000 hectares (4,446,000 acres) in the region of Morafenobe and Nossibe and the claims will be put in course for adjudication within a short time. A number of signs seem to indicate that the hydrocarbons exist in the west of Mada-garcar; the bitumen seepages are very numerous; ozocerite is found in the region of Morafenobe; salt water is met with there also; all these conditions are favorable to the existence of hydrocarbons." M. CLAY GLOVER CO., 120 W. 126th ST. M. V. C. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 president of the Ladies' Division, has been untiring in her devotion to the cause, and through her energetic endeavors the branch has gained much moral and financial support. THE TRUTH ABOUT BRAZIL BY FRANK ST. CLAIRE Books Published in Japan During 1920 Japan published during the year 1920 no fewer than 36,179 new books, thus outstripping even Germany by a small margin and the United States by approximately 30,000. There is also food for reflection in the fields represented by this huge output. Of the books published 9,225 were on art and literature, 9,184 on social sciences, 9,561 on industries 4,492 on educational subjects, 2,742 on religion, 1,192 on natural sciences, 1,243 on medicine 603 on military science and 467 on philosophy, while there were only 148 translations Articles on Brazil have become rather frequent here of late in white magazines and newspapers, the latest in the March or April issue of the Current History. Very few of the statements in the latter issue on the Brazilian question were correct. Most of the North American travelers who go to South America write entirely from personal feeling than from fact, even the late as President Roosevelt wrote the same as the average white American and English as well, but there are a few whites who travel and whose writings on the subject are fair and impartial. Most of those from their names, are either German or French. In regard to American Negroes going to Brazil I know for a fact that they are welcome. Those who are traders professionals or agriculturists are especially welcome. Many British West Indians go there for all kinds of work, most of them居住 at Para. It is not advisable for an American Negro to go there as a common laborer. Far from it, when the average British West Indian Negro goes there and succeeds as an ordinary laborer the American Negro would fall. Sometimes last year an article appeared in the Chicago Defender addressed to Frank B. Claire written by I. B. Moore, of Bahia, Brazil. In the letter published he made a number of untruthful statements, not only about Brazil but also about the Brazilian-American Colonization Syndicate. This same person was afterward rebuked by The Negro World and was told not to write them any more letters. The statements he made about Brazil, were not true. Local Branch Celebrates Easter Day—Largest Recorded Attendance Displays Unusual Interest Varied Program Offered Seated on the platform were President Alfred Potter, Lady President Miss Alice Hall, as President Mrs. T. O'Riench Chaplain Wm. Trott, Messra James Gibson and Charles Este. The Chaplain read a Biblical selection, and Mr C Este preached the Easter sermon. Mr M Chambers delivered an interesting address in which he delineated the historic background of Negro achievements. Beginning at the time of Jimrod and ending at the twentieth century Mr Chambers shed a new ray of pride and hope in the mastery of his presentation Chartered operation in intermular affairs, the desire for which has become increasingly evident in recent declarations throughout the British West Indies, received an additional impetus in the conference of the West India Chambers of Commerce held in Trinidad last January. The measures particularly advocated in support on this idea included a unified monetary system, establishment of a standing conference and secretariat and improved telegraphic and wireless communications. BY CHARLES H ESTE Easter day was celebrated with due enthusiasm by members and friends of the local branch. At three o'clock the ball was filled and jamming space was scarcely available for later ingresses. The orchestra was in full form and furnished good music. All the members of the Black Cross Nurses turned out and displayed an unprecedented spirit of goodwill. Mr I Nanton, director of the Literary Clubs evening school, was unparalleled in an address entitled The Negro Yesterday. Today and Tomorrow Prolonged cheers were accorded him Proposals were also recommended looking toward improved and cheaper transportation facilities with the United Kingdom. The central points at this policy as recommended by the conference and submitted to the Hon. Edward Wood, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, who attended it, are contained in the following clauses: Mr W Padua rendered several num bers which were enjoyed by the entire gathering. Another striking feature was a cor- net solo rendered by a representative of the famous Prevo orchestra. Miss Alice Hall the newly elected Mrs E. Miller rendered an Easter solo with real vocal skill. Mrs J McKinley sang The Golden City with natural charm. Two selections by the Hawaiian Trio elicited prolonged cheers Mrs O'Brien also sang well. Principal Measures Advocated 1 Establishment of a unified monetary system for the British West Indies to which the money of account will correspond, and which will be minted for the West Indies at the cost of issue, the profits on the coinage being devoted to the needs of these colonies 2 Establishment of a standing conference and secretariat for the British West Indies, together with British Guiana and British Honduras, having subsections to deal with law, customs, medical matters, education, police, commerce and agriculture, and to assist in collecting statistics of trade and other matters and publication of the same, the expenses to be met from the minting of the proposed West Indian currency, the central conference also having power to nominate representatives to the imperial conference at London GRAND OPENING OF THE UNIVERSAL GROCERY STORE NO. 2 At 646 Lenox Avenue You are cordially invited to call and inspect our new STORE, and at the same time purchase your groceries at a reasonable price. Thanking you in advance. Yours for good service, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY 3 Establishment of satisfactory British passenger service between the United Kingdom and the West Indies 4 Invitation to shipping companies to give consideration to reduction of freight rates between the United Kingdom and the West Indies The population of Brazil is about 30,000,000. About 8,000,000 of these are pure Negroes (12,000,000) a mixture of Negro White and Negro Indian and White, so this alone shows a preponderance of Negro blood. There I no color like. Only recently a colored Brazilian was elected President. I regard to the question of passports, no doubt as mentioned some time ago in The Negro World there is certain influence behind the move to discourage the American Negro from going there. Those who desire to go can get there if they so desire by simply getting a passport for some point in Mexico and then proceed on to Brazil. For real reliable information on Brazil the Rev J A Zalam is the most fair and impartial authority. In his work on Through South America a Southland he sees the Colored Brazilian in every walk of life political commercial and social. Also there are Frank G. Carpenter's works on South America Elliot's work on Brazil Today and Tomorrow and also Brazil and the Brazilians, by Kidder and Fletcher. The writers just mented and are the few that see a Negro at his best and write according to right and not prejudice. These books ought to be in every Negro home as they are very inspiring. Also in conclusion I mention the works of Charles Danaville Fife on the United States of Brazil. While the latter did not mention much as far as race is concerned, the illustrations plainly show Negro blood overwhelmingly predominates in Brazil in all walks of life. According to Albert Hale in his work on The south Americans it will be impossible for Brazil to ever draw the course to at least a pleasing to sunny South America. 5 Advocacy of improved telegraphic and wireless communications for the West Indies White Australia F A W Gosborne writing in The National Review London on "Australia's Natal Problem," concludes his article as follows. "The 'White Australia' doctrine, construed in a reasonable sense as an assertion of white sovereignty over the Australian continent is both justifiable and commendable. But, as usually interpreted implying the absolute exclusion of colored aliens from Australia is a mere fanaticism. Just as extreme views are always false views so extreme policies are always false policies. In its physical aspects 'White Australia' as popularly accepted, is a defiance of nature. In its political aspects it is a defiance of hundreds of millions of colored men lacking neither in intelligence nor self respect. For Australia to shake a fist but indifferently mailed in the face of Asia, especially in days like these when Europe has been reduced to temporary impotence seems scarcely prudent. Ideals may be magnificent, but they are doubtful guides in matters of national policy. The not unimportant question as to whether in itself the ideal of an Australia solely occupied by whites is morally unassailable need not now be discussed. What matters is that it is impossible of attainment NOTICE THE' UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY 42 West 142nd Street NEW YORK CITY "Paradoxical though the statement may seem, the best way to keep colored men out of Australia would be to let them in. By the introduction of Asiatics of noffensive habits in limited numbers to limited areas a barrier could be raised against the more warlike and aggressive colored races. The establishment of a chain of Indian agricultural colonies along the northern coasts of Australia would enormously increase the wealth of the country and afford well-paid employment to thousands of white men who would be able to live in the state of artificial comfort necessary to the enjoyment of health in a tropical climate. By the association in productive activity of white heads and colored arms extensive areas of rich land would be brought under cultivation, and new and entirely self-supporting industries established. From these industries, among other advantages, the government would derive sufficient revenues to build strategic and other railways, and maintain the sea and air forces necessary to the protection of the northern coasts of Australia. Apart from the great and direct benefits the commonwealth would derive from the adoption of some such plan of restricted Indian immigration, effect that it would produce on opinion in India would be most salient. The colored subjects of the King would welcome the removal of disabilities not only injurious to their interests, but offensive to their racial pride. Their conceptions of the privileges attached to citizenship of the British Empire would be enlarged, and their attachment to the Crown strengthened. By the partial lifting of the racial embargo in favor of Indian immigrants, for whose use special areas in tropical Australia unsuited for settlement by white men would be set apart, the Federal Parliament would remove the reproach now resting on it of selenly keeping empty and unproductive lands capable of supporting in comfort millions of human beings strengthen the cohesion of the empire, and perpetuate white supremacy over the Australian continent."
