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.

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.

But what no doubt we interest the readers of the Negro World is the words of Brian Edward's the historian who of all sacred treaties wanted to be buried in Jamaica in the Negro emerency where of all such burial places was oh mind and heart the abiding place where everlasting peace was joy to be souls Lawrence says in regard to Hakluyt himself he was I adm. a murder and a robber History II Edward Vol 2 p. 511. 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. RE ig, 1 SE RON ENS NB Tak ol ca a the Mepis ke Tee fo ap ERE YT.

HARLEM’S RENT BOOSTERS HE shortage of apartments in Harlem within recent years has I given rise to certain or rather uncertain persons asserting themselves to be Real Eptate Brokers who have been carry- ing 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 handsomoly engraved card with Real Estate Broker in- scribed 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 Sh less Negroes who in their anxiety to procure apartments, al overshadow other important considerations, 3 ee their-Yard-earned money as deposit on the “Gpartments at'theas highly inflated rentals, The practice is not con- fined 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 them- selves paying rents out of all proportion to their means and the actual rental value of apartments. Apartments formerly rented to white tenanté 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 im 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.

But the Negro himself has gone about solving the problem by making himself a better citizen, by buying homes and farm lands by tuking advantage of what educational opportunities are offered him and by giving steadily In- creasing support to his own epiritual agencies ‘The progreas of the race during the last Afty years, as told in the Negro Year Book, ls am achievement of which \¢ may well be proud. Io @ half cen- lury bumes owned by Negroes have lnctrased frum 12000 to 680,000, tarme operated from 20,000 to 1.000.000 and businesses conducted from £100 19 40,000 Negroea hold at preseot some 10,000 000 acres of inpd an arce equal to that of the New Engiand states without Maine Added to these ev ences of material progress are the statistics which show that Uteracy among Negroos has increased from 10 per cent. to 80 per cont, thet volun- tary contributions to churches have in- creased fram $80,000 to $2,700.00, and e the number of churches has risen ym 100 to 48.000. ‘The contribution of the Negro to the economio wealth ef the country, par- Ucularly the South, has deen ono of atmost inestimable value. Nor has the South proved itesif wholly ungrateful as was pointed out in an efdress de- livered at Hampton Insitute by Anson Phelps Stokes, He told cf the millions of dollars apent for Negro education and sald the Southern white man had taxed himseif heavily to educate his Negro neightora, The past decade. particularly, has witnesso® @ marked change in the attitude of the Southern white man towards Negro e@ucation. which has resulted in steaaity increas ing appropriations not only for educa- tion but also for health work and for other agencies of uplift.

This takes no account of the fight at the Primrose mine last night, when two natives were among those ‘illed. This lawleseness will nave repercussions little dreamt of by those who instigated and executed these insemats “trims. Wo slftady hear the voloe of world opinion ask- ings “te this what the color bar Urte-thieawhat-tewipnified-by- the ‘aupremacy of white labor in ths Trans- vaal gold industry? And the verdict will be cold and merciless: “If eo, let the brutal thing perish.” But though there ie the oleareat evidence that these murdere of inoflensive, unarmed na- tives are the work of strikere—Mr. “Joe” Thompson's latest manifesto, in- dead, confesses that the reports which have reached the exeoWtives of the fed- eration are that “bodies of strikers have been attacking natives wantonly and without reaton”—grave injustice would be done by charging them against the general body of the men. They are obviously the work of ex- tremists whose secret purpose it has been all along to force the government ito @ declaration of martial law, in Jthe boltef that their revolutionary mms would be wall served by bringing the forces of order and disorder into open Jeonfict. The same slim rogues have also dictated the recent conduct of the Jcommandos, which hae clearly been armed at exasperating the police by every insulting device which malice oan invent. | Yet when every charitable allowance ia made for the majority of the etrik- ‘ora, who are the unsesing dupes of these gentry, st 19 impgsable for the nation to regard their conduc: with other than the gravest reprobation. They have gone far toward eacrificin, the last remnants of public sympathy. We read cf women and children joining in the mad hunt of natives and taking « eav- age delight in the pursuit. The days of lynoh law in America astdom produced @ more degrading epectaole. And the worat feature of it all ie that the na- tives themasives have given no pos- aible cause of offense either to the strikers or the government through: out the stoppage of the mines. By gen- eral consent thelr conduct has been ox- emplary, though they have had little occasion for viewing with favor the ac- tion of their white overlords in depriv- ing them of their livelihood. This ed- mirable behavier, in Itealf an eloquent repreach to the “supremacy” of the white worker in the mines, deserves more publle recognition than it hee yet received. It deserves at least the as- aupance that not another non-European man or woman shall be exposed to the violence of the mob without ewift pun- Ishment evertaking the offenders. And unless the government pute itselef at ‘ence in @ position where it will be able to give that assurance, yesterday's happenings en the Rand may have very disturbing eonsequences in the native territories ef the Union. Events have marched rapidly in the last twe days, end not along the road where the country would have wished ‘te eee them going.

Some ef eur political critica will ees there ls great bope for us, becaves we have elected an Alderman and we have elected @ Bate Senator and Assembly- mad. and decase of that we hope that one day we are going to have 10 or 15 men in the Assembly and 10 or 18 men on the Board of Aldermen and 10 or 18 men tn the Senate I want to bring thi conviction and this thought home to the critics who would argue that way The spirit of this country and the spirit of the white wofld to- ward weaner peoples is this: In | commeanity of white people, where only one Negro happens (o lve there is) very ttle concern taken about the presence of that one Negro. That is to say be is oot harmful because be is only an individual, and because of that no one 1s disposed to be unkind to him. or to even think that ho is in any way ao embarrassment As for instance, tn the Board of Aldermen—you have probably about 18 or 20 aldermen and one Negro Alderman; 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 bis vote ts lost among the votes of 1» or 18 other man; but you let 10 Negroes get in there and sce the change of attitude on the part of these Aldermen and the white com- munity towards the entire Negro race. We have often set one Negro living io @ community of white people, and the white people are kind to htm and treat film nicely, and receive him in s pleasant way, but let 60 or more No- /groes move into that and epee renee hn ity to changed toward, <Allebyeiare, to race growa} tBiaw tman Ebeabag poke —wremrl elect ene man and} him on the Board of Aldermen and place him in the Senate, ar place him in tho State Legislature, that this ls @ fair indics- Ucn 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 de- manding such positions the more will we become the rivals of those other people who want the same jobs. There fe no white Senator who is going to stand any true competition with any black mas for hie Job. There 1s no white Congressman who te going to stand true competition with black men for his Job. aod if we were to place a biack man to run as a candidate for every vacancy in the Hou.» of Con- gress and tho Senate, instead of effect: Ing greater privileges for us It would force the white man to retaliate tn the manner expressed by the circular which T have read and be quset sn would be asked throughout the nation, Are we going to allow our country to be run by Negroes?

INDEX TO POTENTIALITIES IS NOT COLOR OF ONE'S SKIN, SAYS CUBAN ORATOR Wave of Inspiration Sweeping Isle of Cuba as to Ultimate Responsibilities of U. 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.

She wore a white net dress over blue satin, with black shoes and stockings and blue rosettes on her hair, which of course made a charming picture. A great many white people tened. One white man said that if we had improved in our looks so far as that in fifty-seven years, in another fifty-seven years we wouldn't have to go to LADIES' DAY OBSERVED BY HOMESTEAD, PA., DIVISION Africa the Subject of Fine Easter Celebration HOMESTEAD Pa., April 24 — Ladies' Day of Homestead Division, No. 187, is a day that will live in the annals of this city.

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. All truly sympathize with the former in her illness which kept her from seeing the accomplishment of the task which she so readily began. Here is wishing her a speedy recovery LA AFRICA, COSTA RICA. LA AFRICA BRANCH, Costa Rica As soon as the members of the U.N. A here heard of the arrest of Hon.

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.

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. Una turba compuesta por mas de tres mil personas vocifero contra Semenoff a su salida de la carcel y fue preciso que un destacamento de agentes del departamento de bombas le escortara hasta su automovil.

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.

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."

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."
