FOUR HUNDRED MILLION NEGROES
ORGANIZING FOR WORLD POWER
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
I have decided to write to you today on the other purpose of our organization work, and I hope each and every one of you will realize that the time for race adjustment is now, and can only be brought about by the united co-operation of each and every member of the race.
For hundreds of years we have struggled apart, fighting our individual battles, championing our individual causes, and gaining no result therefrom, except that of defeat. We are now living in a co-operative age when individuals, races and nations co-operate for a common cause. If we look at the affairs of things today we will find that a desperate effort is being made to organize the three hundred and thirty odd millions of Indians into one great racial national group, as also the four million Irish and the twelve million Jews. We will find nations endeavoring to make treaties and alliances with each other for economic as well as political advantages, so that the time is really opportune for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make a determined effort in organizing the four hundred million Negroes in the world for the common good.
In organization there is strength. The forces that have contributed to world changes were backed up by organized efforts, and not by individual action.
Selfishness
you will find that organization has been the motive power behind human achievements, so that the Universal Negro Improvement Association feels that it is the duty of every Negro to at this time organize himself into this greatest Negro movement. We have been lagging behind in human progress for several centuries, until the world has become so highly developed as to make it impossible for us to find an economic place, or a political settlement. If we allow the world to continue in its aggressive attitude of racial and national organization without our forming a part of the great change, it will mean that in another century the entire race of four hundred millions will be blotted out, in that the other races are making absolutely no effort to tolerate the Negro in the future as has been done in the past. Human society has been so regulated that we find each and every group of the great human family seeking an existence to the exclusion and disadvantage of the other. Whether we be Germans, English, French, Italians, Spaniards, Russians, or Americans, Indians, Egyptians or Jews, we find that each and every unit is striking out on singular lines as far as the race's interest is concerned. The German no longer thinks of the Frenchman, neither the Frenchman thinks of the Englishman in terms of racial self-preservation, so that it is advisable that four hundred million Negroes start now to think that their interest is natural to them and should be sought after irrespective of any other human claim or tie.
The Cardinal Laws
We are asking that each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time make up his and her mind to join one hundred additional members in the organization between now and the 1st of August of the present year, and we are also asking that every Negro who reads this message will go out as a worker for this great cause and boost it in the highways and byways, and ask every Negro you come in contact with to be a member of this great organization. The program must be put over, that of emancipating the race everywhere industrially, commercially, socially, religiously, educationally and politically, and above all freeing our Motherland Africa from the grip of the alien tyrant. This work must be done, it must not be put off for another decade or for another century. It must be started now, and, if possible, be accomplished in another few years. All that is necessary is that each and every Negro make up his and her mind to pull together, to stick together, and if needs be to die together. We have had our individual, selfish, divided interests in the past, but the time has come for collective interest. If we must die, then let us not die singly, but let us die as four hundred million people, all standing firm in demand of the great principles that have
THE FREEDOM OF AFRICA AND EMANCIATION OF RACE EVERYWHERE DESIRED
PREPARING FOR GREATEST RACE CONVENTION
GREAT NEGRO MOVEMENT GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS
governed humanity ever since God said "Let there be light," the principles of Liberty, of Freedom, of Democracy, of Justice and Equity. We demand these things for four hundred million Negroes of the world, even as they have been extended to other races of mankind. For these principles men have fought, for these principles men have died, and for them four hundred million Negroes are prepared to shed the last drop of their blood.
A Conglomeration of Intellects
We shall look forward to our forthcoming convention with great hope, because to us will come thousands of men from all parts of the world, from the forty-eight States of the American Union, from South and Central America, from the West Indies, Europe, Asia, Australia and from Africa, breathing the spirit of liberty; yes, they shall come with a determination to win liberty or to die.
What are we? We are men created in the image of our God, men with a purpose, men with a will. If we will to do, we shall do, or we shall die in the attempt of doing. Let this creative will of ours be our guide through life, the will to accomplish great things, the will never to go down in defeat, the will never to beg of the other fellow what we can do for ourselves. And what can we not do for ourselves? There is nothing within the reach of man that man cannot do for himself. So long as man does not transgress the powers of God, so long as man does not attempt to interfere with God's divine laws, man in himself becomes that sovereign lord, that creature who shapes his own destiny, who lays out his own course.
All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have made up in their minds that they, between 1922-1923, are going to do all in their power in arousing the sleeping consciousness of the world to the fact that Negroes are men, that Negroes have feelings, that Negroes have souls, that Negroes are as much entitled to the benefits of God's creation as any other human being.
Africa's Freedom
Dear members, it is your duty wheresoever you are at this time to work harder than you ever did before. Let your convention of 1922 be a ringing success, let it go down the ages that in 1922 you rang the changes throughout the world, until the whole universe re-echoed your demands and yielded up your rights. Yes, if it takes the manhood in us to get our rights, then we shall win them; if it takes our intelligence, then we shall win them; if it takes our blood, then we shall surely win them, because we are determined to do or die. It is no use putting off; it must come sooner or later. What must come? The freedom of Africa and the emancipation of the Negro everywhere. Do you think four hundred million Negroes can tolerate for eternity the abuses of the world, being kicked about, being spat upon, being spurned, being treated as dogs? For you to have such a belief, to encourage such an opinion, is to make one think that you are crazy. No other race in all history has withstood persecutions and sufferings for so long as the Negro. We have done it because we are patient, we are charitable, we are sympathetic, we are meek. But, ahl in our meekness, in our patience, in our charity, in our sympathy, there is a method, and do not forget that, even in the humility and inoffensiveness of the worm, there is a method, and the worm may turn one day. Negroes have died here, there and everywhere, for everybody else within the last five hundred years. Negroes have built up the great British Empire. Negroes have built up French Imperialism. Negroes have fought for the stabilization of Italy, they have fought for
the aggrandizement of Germany, they have fought to build up nations and empires everywhere for others. Negroes are prepared now to fight, if needs be, to build up an African Empire of their own. Empires have risen and Empires have fallen. Assyria, Babylon, Carthage, Greece, Rome, Spain have fallen, and others have been resurrected on their ruins. History repeats itself. So do we expect others will fall, and out of the wreck and ruin will rise a mighty African Empire upon which the sun will never set, an Empire founded on the principles of Justice, Equity, Mercy, Love and Truth—human brotherhood. Yes, an Empire that will teach in truth the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
Concerted Effort
Negroes, let us work toward this end, let us teach savage, insane man of today the true principles of life; yes, because man has become a savage, man has become a brute; when man seeks to rob, to exploit, to even kill his brother so as to take away from him that which God has given to all in common, you will realize without a question, without any doubt, that man has become crazy, man is mad, man is a savage, man is a cannibal at his best, in this twentieth century.
The civilization of today is bankrupt, it is no good, it is but a reign of cannibalism, a reign of savagery. Can it last? If it lasts for another century, then there will be no more world, and four hundred million Negroes cannot allow man to ruin his brother without making an effort to save him.
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, let us work together. Men may jeer you, men may criticize you, men may advise you against doing what you have decided to do in your own interest, but remember that man has always been a doubtful creature. Man doubted even the Son of God when He came and lived among us with the hope of redeeming us from our sins. When He preached to us the new life, what did we do? Man persecuted Him, man crucified Him. So we will not expect anything different today; let them persecute you, let them say all manner of things against you. Be assured that your cause is righteous, that your cause is just. Accept the great God as your leader, accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your standard-bearer, and with firm faith in Heaven's great blessing, go forward and conquer for the right. Bleeding Africa needs our help, suffering humanity of our race is crying out to us; it is for us to do our duty.
Every branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is hereby asked to make every effort possible to get in good financial standing with the Parent Body, so that our organization can stand for something solid, something worth while. We need the financial help of every division of the association, so that every Executive Officer, every Secretary, President and Treasurer are asked to see that their monthly reports are sent regularly to the Secretary-General's Office at headquarters, to enable us to carry out the big program that now confronts us. Every member of the association is asked to see that their officers send in the regular monthly reports, and it is the duty of each and everyone to do his and her bit for the African Redemption Fund and the Convention Fund now being raised for the carrying out of our program for 1922. Let us all co-operate and do our duty by this greatest of all movements. Send in your help immediately to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A.
With very best wishes for your success, I have honor to be. Your obedient servant.
MARCUS GARVEY. President-General.
P. S.—My article of last week, entitled "MAN—AS WE KNOW HIM," is reprinted with corrections in another part of this paper. It is done because the printers mis-spelled, misplaced and omitted several words in the original copy that was submitted to them from which the article was removed. The mistakes were so many that I will not here equiment them but would ask that the article be re-read from the publication of this week.
P. S.—Again I have to remind all Divisional Officers to mind in their mouth their divisional reports so that each Division of the association may be registered in good standing for the convention of the present year. The names of all Divisions will be read at the convention, and we would have every Division in good standing.

THE SEIZURE OF HAITI
LETOU GH war has never been cechired against what was
A once the Republic of Haate by the Cited States Governe
ment, that unhappy country bas heen seized and for ik
greater part ot seven years ruled with an aren hand by the Navy!
Department of these Umited States, apparently by and with she
consent of the National City Bank of New York |
This serzure of Haute by the Lted Stites constitutes: one at
the darkest chapters im American history and will forever leave a,
bar smister on its military eseutcheon More than that, in the |
opinion of twenty-four distinguished American lawyers who signed
a very able report on “The Seizure of Hane,” presented to the Sec-
retary of State, which appears elsewhere am this issue, “the action
of ote government has viulated our Constitution and reduced our
treaty obhgations to a scrap of paper”
At a time when Woudraw Wilson was giving expression to!
lofty ideals, proclaiming self-determination for smaller peoples and
“make the world safe for democracy,” American marinse were merci-
lessly shooting down comparatively defenseless Haitians whose only
offense was to be found in defending their right to self-determina-
tion.
For over a century, Harti, struggling against tremendous odds,
beset on all sides by hostile, presudiced and imperialistic nations,
auceceded. in maintaining her integrity as a sovereign State with a
republican form of government Her independence was not handed
to her on a silver platter; her sons fought and bled and died to
obtain it, mingling their blowd freely with the very soil of Ifait, making
that island sacred and inysolate for her sons, even as the United States
1s for her sons
During Uartr's struggle to. mamta herself in the family of
nations, harassed ay she has been by internal conflict engineered by
capitalists m the United States and elsewhere, no American citizen has
ever been myured in person or property by Haitans, and foreigners
were safer there thin in many American cites
She discharged her international obligatians im a manner free
from adverse critiism and has never given occasion for United
States intervention im her affairs, he high handed manner in which
the Umited States has gained control over her territory savers ot
the new American imperialism and makes our protestations of democ-
racy a hollow mockery
Germany at least pleaded military necessity in invading Belgium
and made no pretence of democracy Is there any difference in
principle between th, action of Germany im Belgium and the United
States im Hate? On six occastons during 1914 and 1915 the United
States made efforts to secure control of Hats without avail Here
we have the big bully taking by force what could not be secured through
f diplomatic overtures
: During the last Presidential campaugn President TLarding declared
that if he were clected he would met “omporer an Lsastant Secretary of
the Treasury to deatt a Constitution for our helpless neighbors in the West
Indies and jam it down their throats at the point ef bavonets borne by the
United States marmes
Jt seems that Mr Harding has already forgotten those campaign
statements and has decided since the “constitution” haa already been
jammed down the throats of the Haitians at the point of bayonets, he'll
keep the United States marines there to force the Haitians to digest it.
Secretary Hughes is quoted as saying that the United States has no
intention of withdrawing from Haiti at present. No doubt the Secretaries
of the Navy and State and the National City Bank of New York and the
President and the United States marines will combine to force the process
of digestion on the part of the poor, helpless Haitians with the additional
impetus of the hayonets.
Here stands American imperialism naked and unashamed

“Mr Chairman and gentlemen, when God created the
heavens and the earth and the fullness thereof and thought
of suns, planets, stars and sate!lites, and they rolled from
Ils finger tips and took their places in the broad expanse of
space, and said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light, and
viewing the end with the beginning, saw all that has ever
come to pass and all the future and knew of the future prog-
ress of humanity before the birth of the race, He was well
pleased, and yet His supreme creative work had not yet
been dune He took the dust of the earth and molded it
into His own image. into the form of a man and breathed
into its nostrils His own creative, everlasting, immortal
breath, and the image came forth a human being, a living
soul, all dominating, all conquering, everlasting, eternal,
immortal, a part of God Himself, a Caucasian, a white man,
and God gave that first white man dominion over all things,
and told him to reach to the bottom of the sea and up to the
lughest skies and understand and know the mysteries of all
time and space, and that first man, a white man, went furth
to solve, understand, conquer, and know the universe in
which he had been placed. And that first white man from
that day to this has been the all-powerful, all-controlling,
all-dominating man of the world. He has conquered the
depths of the sea; he has flown like a bird through the very
gates of the skies; he has whispered around the world in
the twilight of a new era; he has weighed the moon, the
earth, and the sun; he is solving and knowing and bringing
under his subjection and dominion all the mystenes of life,
of space, and of all the universe of God, and as time goes by
he 1s learning to think, understand, and know the thoughts
of the Almighty God of the skies.”
This is nothing to smile about. It is a serious matter But
ufter all, Mr Rogers 1s right. America’s accumulated nonsense 1
narvoned in Washington.
GARVEY AND THE CHICAGO WHIP
F the many Negro papers that come to ‘1s, The Chicago Whip
O 1s undoubtedly one of the best edited. It bristles with news
Its editorials are burdened with opinion. At times, however,
it is at the mercy of a Hearst-like sensationalism. It 1s playing the
role of muck-racker and official acid-tester.
In its current issue Marcus Garvey and the U N T A come
“Under the Lash of the Whip” This is a department devoted “to
constructive criticisin of men and measures in the hope of correcting
errors and evils." The Whip, it 18 evident, 1s ignorant of the facts
in the case. It is peeved and annoyed because certain people have
referred to Marcus Garvey as the “Moses of the Race” It does not
like this, Why, it argues, Garvey has “none of the qualities af lead-
ership that Moses had” Again, “next thing some will proclaim that
Garvey 1s the second Messiah,” ete, etc.
Tt is the policy of the U N.I. A to welcome criticism, that is,
criticism based on facts and statistics. But when a paper like [he
Chicago Whip challenges its integrity it 15 time to step in and “git
ittold " Ever since Mr Garvey's arrest there has been a storm of
comment favorable and unfavorable. J sitors, ignorant of the
charges, are speculating as to the outcome Some of them ge se
far as to prophesy Mr Garvey's downfall, Before that only the
ultra intrepid dared say anything about it It was one of the un-
touchable realities of Ine People envied it because they could net

Fepetition, Wolves and vultures are feeding on its carcass,
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
I insisted last week that America was losing a golden oppor-
tunity by her non-intervention in the affairs of Europe. Now Mr.
Lloyd George’s pronouncement at Genoa on the 26th of April, three
days after publication was given to my statements in these pages,
bears out my contention:
“I wish America were here,” he exclaimed “Some people think
we want the United States for some selfish purpuse. This 1s not
true. We want America because she exercises a peculiar authority.
Her very aloofness gives her the night to speak
“America could exercise an influence no other country could
command. She gould come here free and disemtangied, and with the
prestige which comes from her independent position she would
come with the voice of peace.
“But America is not here, so Europe must do her best to solve
the problems in her own way.”
It is obvious that American statesmen are neither performing
their duties to the people of the United States nor to humanity at
large by the aloofness to which I referred last week and to which
the British Prime Minister subscribes. It is all very well.for Amer-
ican statesmen to plead the obsolete Monroe Doctrine, but directly
America intervened in the European struggle she became directly
involved in the settlement of Europe, and, as the British Premier
says, she has the prestige which comes “from her independent
position.” 1 sincerely hope that American statesmen will take note.
Further: Mr. Lloyd George gave it as his opinion that the
| disorganization of Europe would affect the entire wild, including
the United States. He was amazed at people who ignbred the pro-
‘tentious fact facing Europe today. Unless the Gena conference
succeeded in arranging a pact of peace he was confidept that in his
own life, certainly in the life of the younger men pr¥sent, Europe
would again welter in blood
| Agein I have to draw the attention of my readersfto my state-
ment in the last issue of The Negro World, viz “ThQ@y—Germany

AFRICA MUST BE RESTORED TO HER ETHNIC SONS AND DAUGHTERS!

By A. H MALONEY
As science progressively unravel the hidden things of the universe as man continues to give impetus and direction to nature's forces, as new institutions constantly arise out of the shattered frags. of the stuff of reality the psychological attitude denominated "can't" becomes increasingly less real and tenable. Recent advances in the field of mechanical and electrical engineering, in industrial chemistry, in radio science, the harnessing of forces in air, on land and sea-developments in economics, new integrations in international politics, findings in the realm of applied psychology—these all are teaching us the fact of the potential divinity of mankind. The utterance of the prophet of Israel regarding man's status is truer today than it was the day on which he said "Thou hast made him (man) a little lower than God (Elohim) to crown him with glory and worship."
In days gore by what men found to lie beyond their ken they attributed to mystery, magic or miracle, but these expressions only connote the acknowledgment of a temporary limitation upon the mind, which limitation recedes with each advancing day. The implications underlying Bergson's ideal vitale and Kinetone's theory of relativity in the matter of giving direction no less than meaning and value to life revealing its capacities and possibilities are indeed rich.
Exact sciences are dead sciences. The immutable obtains only in the realm of metaphysics. Science, like art, is plastic and givers with indeterminateness under the influence of that vital fluid which suffuses all life. The truth of the above proposition is obvious even to the cold statistician. After he has taken every precaution to avoid error and arrives by means of strictly mathematical calculations at his conclusions he finds that all he can claim for his efforts when applied to life is approximation. He is constantly meeting surprises by the little pranks which the clusive thing we call life plays with the most rigid plastercasts of his science.
Again and again have economists blundered, statemen misjudged, general miscalculated because of the unanticipated intrusion into their schemes and plague of the vital principle of life, who could have figured ten years ago that the map of the world would be what it is today! Germany, France, England, America, the Balkan States, the Near East, the Par East, these all were going about their affairs unmindful of any untoward arrestment or collapse of their secret schemes. The pulpit, platform and press—the three "P" pilots the people to the realm of progress—were vociferous in throwing off word-waves of peace and prosperity based on economic poise and the pervasive spirit of brotherhood. But on came the confaguration, and the science of international and commercial geography had to be reorganized and studied all over again by students who had left school just five years ago.
Africa, the body of contention, went under the knife of the international surgeona, and the German part of her vermiform appendix was removed. What statesman would have thought that thing possible before? But it happened. Russia, a rock-ribbed, Czarridden, reactionary member of the family, of nations became the first Soviet republic of Europe. The conception was impossible in 1914; but the thing is a reality today.
Now 400,000,000 people of African image scattered all over the world are rising up and making specific demands through their spokesmen to the effect that Africa be restored to her ethnic sons and daughters—that England step down, that France step down, that Italy and Portugal and Spain step down and leave the affairs of state and government, of commerce and industry, of education and religion in the hands of the rightful custodians of the same.
And some of us say it can't be done. Perhaps it can't be done if we rivet our entire attention upon the mute tower of opposing forces; perhaps it can't be done if our only material for calculation is preponderance of materials of modern warfare, economic pressure, the determination to withstand our demands by those nations that we are inviting to step down. But are we making allowance for possible pranks of the elan vitality? Sensible men know that nothing natural is impossible.
But over and above all the dogmatism of political and economic science, so-called, there is a cloud in the sky. Like the cloud Elijah saw, it is only of the size of a man's hand. But as Elijah's cloud opened the heavens and drenched the parched land with rain, so may this cloud break (as a consequence of the quietly conflict coming, of which abundant signs and portents are visible in the political and economic firmament of Europe) and bring to pass our desires are we expect it. When that good breaks there is no telling what the outcomes will be. While the European nations that control Africa are displeasing each other in fratricial conduct, the aims of Africa that are preemptive might have a chance to pass on them and go in and possess the kind of our fathers.

develop in our oppression. Vegetation will follow. We must be just and equitable and show strength. We must recognize that Europe is not ungood when it that storms are raging when we must deal with. We had hoped that the end of the great war meant the end of brute force, but unless Europe problems are solved there is no assurance that force has given way to right. You are here to instruct, to sustain, to guide, and I beg you in the interest of the world's future not to add to the obstacle which are in the way but to use your influence to help in the solution of difficulties which are full of menace. This conclusion was this. That unless the Genoa conference succeeded in arranging a pact of peace, he was confident that in his own life, certainly in the life of the younger men present at the conference, Europe would again writer in blood (New York World Press Report for April 27).
Bo the storm clouds are rising. Between the Scylla of economic competition and the Charybids of racial strife another divine right idea is going to get crushed—the divine right of White World Supremacy Mr. Suzuki, the Japanese statesman who has just arrived in America, appears to be a man of the Harvey school of diplomacy. He does not mind telling the truth as he sees it. And Mr. Suzuki has been reported as telling some very plain things about the attitude of the colored world towards the anobliness and arrogance of the white world. The plain fact is that the custodians of the world's affairs are in the vortex of strife and confusion. They can no more extricate themselves of their own collision than can the swimmer caught in the vortex of a whirlpool extricate himself.
Radical changes have taken place in world politics, and radical changes are still to take place, "for the end is not yet." Our fear is not that they will take place, but our concern is "will we be prepared to meet the exigencies of the new situation and to use well the new opportunities that shall be ours."
The program of the U N I A. is "stended to prepare us to meet the impending crisis. It is ours to support the cause mentally, morally and financially, and thereby help to put over the program.
WEEK OF MAY 8TH AT
Miller and Lylea, Sizzie and Blake present "The Flat Below," a Negro dramatic comedy by the authors of "Shuffle Along," a human story of Negro life with a powerful moral. Directed by Clarence E. Muso. In their new drama, "The Flat Below," Flournoy Miller and A. L. Lylea, the authors of "Shuffle Along," have divulged a secret that is known to every Negro woman, to every girl, rich or poor, at any rate and to some men, although the men as a rule don't admit it. The humorous side of Negroes has been depicted merrily and deliberately by many authors. Miller and Lylea have for the first time made an exposition of their race that is applicable to the present time and existing conditions right here in our large American cities. They have done it by putting real human beings on the stage who expose their souls.
The central figures in this play are young James Royster, little Ruth Covington, who has been reared in a convent, and a genuine Baptist minister with a true love for humanity. They live in New York City. Royster is just the average young college boy, one of the kind who visits the "movie theatres" to see only love dramas and believes that life is one big romantic dream. A notorious woman, Cleo Young, upsets his dreams by meeting his fiancee, Ruth. Because of the renting conditions in this large city we are brought face to face with vice and hypocrisy. The many thrills Royster is compelled to receive in order to find his way back to "love's own way" is just what the play shows.
Marian Taylor plays Ruth, and it is the best part this clever young actress has had yet. Jack Carter impersonates Royster, and his performance is a gem. The rest of the cast is just what it ought to be. Clarence E. Muse, the celebrated actor of the Lafayette Players and eratwhile motion picture director, staged this play. He has shown his genius as an artist by bringing out every detail truthfully. The humor of the piece is subtle and entertainingly presented.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922
YECOLUMNIST
ON EPICURISM
Gastronomic connoisseurs went out creme extinct on the death of D. Aristagnan on the latter end the cruising of Barboglio on the latter end the death of Aramis at the latter end the police and the death of Athena at the death of Athena defending his own death. Other epitomes became connoisest with prohibition. Think of the keen pleasure derived when we read those delightful tales, knowing that no sooner than we were through reading some such passage describing one of the repairs those excellent gentlemen were as accustomed to endure, should go out to one of the best hostilities and endeavor to indulge in a duplication. There was always that inward elation, knowing that even though it was not possible to begin from the tree to the heat aged burgundy we could at least proce the letter. Now there is an add d'or knowing as we always do, that at an moment Volatodism, in the guts of one of his representatives may at an oppoortune moment burst in on us now, however, the thrill is gone. We have become injured to the habit of eating at home, even to the extent of dispensing with our liquid refreshments.
However much we may root for the home circles, no one would dare tell us that there are thrills to be derived whenever we ask the boys up to the apartment to have a little card game or an informal dinner and have to use ginger ale as a stimulant. There was that glorious time when Dick or Tom would bring a friend, meet, as usual at Mike's, and, after a casual introduction, we would merely turn around and make a perfunctory acknowledgment of the new presence, murmuring, "What will you have?" or "This is on my boys," or yet, "Name thing, Mike." Now, however, when anyone is introduced to us we are thinking—subconciously—if he has any private stock at home. Will we be invited? Or, is it customary for him to carry it on the hip? Even so, there is so much of the wrong stuff around that we have to be rather careful.
Someone surely must have noticed the trend of affairs at the time of the Spanish-American War. It strikes us that they must have been fighting to hold Cuba so that our supply of barracuda would never be exhausted. However, we are of the opinion that not even those wise old birds could have foreseen what a peace loving nation we were destined to become. With a few extra swigs, even though our hand would be far from steady, and with a dill pickle or two to aid us, we could last a long time. Inevitably we would give way to the stronger urge and in some way reaching home would go to bed. We forgot that such things as trouble existed. Next morning, realizing that, we can at our own option begin where we left off the previous night. Even the launching of ships has lost its twang. How can we stand up and watch a ship with its traditions to uphold and with a bottle dangling from its bow, imagine that there is champagne in that bottle. We know that it contains water. It simply can't be done. We know. We've tried it.
Whatever may be said, there is no denying the fact that the best culinary artists are to be found among our folks. And, yet, consider the limited scope of their choice. With scarcely anything in their favor they have gone ahead and done wonders. It's forever claimed that the gentleman of color lives for his belly only. You must see, then, that with such an urge it was vitally important that he develop along this line with some amount of credit. He did.
We were discourancing on food, its appetizing qualities. There was a woman with us. There always is. This one is among the finest of her sex. She was telling us of some of the different ingredients used for certain dishes. We hung on her words, enthralled. Presently our mouth became watery. We naked her to slop, threatened to make her put some of those words to the test. She demurred. Not that there was the least doubt on our part—none whatever. But we felt that the occasion demanded a demonstration Finally we agreed to disagree. An invitation was tendered to us for a later date. We snapped it up. You would have done the same thing. You are—married" Oh, be pardon! Our mistake.
Now consider the case of those affectioned Chinese gentlemen. They are honest, all honorable men. We were hungry. Can't remember ever being otherwise. Woll, we entered the chopstick joint. Sat down. The hon-gent came, hovered over us obsequiously. "M-m-m," looking over the b of f "Bome rice and shrimp," said wa. "Lice-slimp," repeated the hon-gent. "Tea, yes," we said. Put a little pep into it. Me much hungry, savvé. After a slight wait the order was brought in. We started to eat, but immediately discovered something wrong. This seemed like blind man's buff. This surely was rice, but could those little grains be shrimp? Impossible. We explored further. Certainly dawned on us. "Charlie," we called, somewhat peeled. (There is always a Charlie around.) He came. "We ordered rice-shrimp. What's this?" After a careful scrutiny astonishment widened his face. "No, no," said the hon, Chinese giant, "this lice-chopped-ham. Change tm?" "Aha, you no got 'im slimp'." Bure I留 ah-lee same slim. He took away the wrong dish. After an other interval the correct article was brought in. Now by all the culinary gods we swear that there is no claim of
TOURING THE OLD BAY STATE; MASSACHUSETTS AND HER HISTORY
The Monument to a Negro Regiment—The Economic Condition—The U. N. I. A. Revival in Springfield—The Blind Singer—Brockton's Negro Wizard—The Automobile Railway—The New Bedford Division—The Famous Boston Division
---
By WILLIAM H FERRIS
Assistant President-General of the U.
N. I. A.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Ralph
Henry Osborne boarded the train at
Middleton for Springfield, Mass.
Lying by the side of the train and
along Connecticut river, which was
replaced with a single apple wagon
cars at Harford and soon
cached the end of our journey. We
lighted from the train and stepped
upon the historic road of Massachusetts.
How much is conjured up in that name
Massachusetts? To know the history
of Massachusetts is to know the history
of America.
Massachusetts is the State which have birth to the higher education of America and the religious Liberals. She was the store centre of the Revolutionary and Anti Slavery movement it was in Massachusetts that the tea was thrown over from a British ship that the first blood, the blood of a Negro, was shed in the Revolutionary War, that the first battles, the battles of Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill were fought. It was Massachusetts that sent the first Negro regiment in the front in the late Civil War Plymouth, Charleston, Boston Cambridge, Lexington and Concord are forming with historic mementos.
On Boston Commons and in the public gardens of Boston the visitor will see something that he sees no where else in the world. On the Boston Commons, opposite Tremont street, stands the monument to Crispus Attucks, the black man, who was the first martyr in the Revolutionary He was the first to fall when the British soldiers fired on Boston. And on the top of the hill on Beacon street, right opposite the State House, stands St. Gilesen's sculptural masterpiece—the monument to Col. Robert Guild Shaw and the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Colored Regiment, which performed deeds of valour at the battle of Fort Wagner, where Colonel Shaw and nearly every white officer were killed, and where the brave black soldiers fought like Homeric heroes. Colonel Shaw is pictured on the monument riding at the head of his troops. An angel is hovering over his head, about to place a wreath over his brow. And behind proudly march the stalwart and sturdy eponyhood soldiers.
Those who revel in books will also recall that five of the seven poets who gave America her place in literature—Longfellow, Lowell, Whittier, Holmes and Emerson—were sprung from the land of the Old Bay State and made her the scene of their activities.
Do Witt Clinton speaks of that fair moment in Greek history, when herb women could criticize the phrasology of Demosthenes and the meanest artisan could pronounce judgment on the work of Apelles and Pludius. That state of affairs is reproduced in Boston, where the common people read the Boston Transcript, attend the Lowell lectures and the popular concerts in Symphony Hall. While not exactly the Jerusalem that John saw in a vision on the Isle of Palma, Maasachusetts is as perfect a commonwealth, as frail fallible man has thus for evoked on the lale of Palma.
The Economic Condition
Everywhere we went in Springfield,
Boston, Brockton and New Bedford,
especially in Springfield and New Bedford,
we found scores of unemployed
men idly walking the streets. Massachusetts is preeminently a manufacturing State. She teems with cotton mills, woolen mills, leather factories, etc. Just now she is turning out more goods than the markets call for. Europe is too poverty stricken to buy large quantities of American goods at present. A gentleman who is connected with a bank stated that the poor were drawing out more money than they were putting in the banks.
The U. N. I. A. Revival In Springfield
When we reached Springfield, we found Mr A Newton Service, the secretary of the division, bury at the telephone at his office making arrangements for the Sunday meetings on Sunday morning accompanied by Mr service and Commissioner Reilly, we wended our way to the Calvary Baptist Church, of which Rev D. S. Dupree is pastor and preached the morning sermon. Then at 3:30 p.m. Commissioner Reilly and I addressed a small U. N. I. A gathering in Emery Hall. Although only forty were present it was the largest U. N. I. A. meeting that had been held for several weeks. The financial depression and other influences caused the division to dwindle to almost nothing. But as the result of our efforts Rev D. S. F. Dupree, pastor of one of the strongest churches in Springfield, and the former vice-president of the division, came back into the fold again.
Sunday night Mr. and Mrs. Service, Commissioner Reilly and the writer worshipped at the Calvary Baptist Church, which was packed from the connoisseur on our part. Simply happened to be lucky in our discovery. That's all. We were not supposed to eat meat in any form for a while. Doctor's orders. But we did enjoy what was originally asked for. L. L. H.
pulpit to the door Rev Dr Du Pree, aarie ailephelod looking, dark sermon on a enquel and instructive sermon on the theme of a basket of figs. Then the choir sang. And Mr Faucoul, a blind singer who sat in the amon corner, started of the old fashioned hymn which were sung in long meter and which the entire audience took up. Finally he started Walking into Jerusalem Just Luke Inoud. The audience took up the song and the effect was very impressive. Mr Estrie, a prominent Baptist layman, who is connected with the State missionary work and is very much interested in the colored people assisted in the collection and expressed himself as pleased with both the sermon and the singing Rev Dr Du Pree came from Hartford and started seventeen members three years ago. Now he has over 400 members, has purchased a building to worship in and a very large corner lot and is contemplating erecting a cathedral. On Monday night we addressed the much advertised U N I A meeting in Liberty Hall Commissioner Reilly and Mr Olmstead also spoke. One hundred and twenty came out the largest crowd that had assembled at a U N I A A meeting in Springfield for over a year. Several former members came back into the fold and a few new members joined Mrs Chandler, the lady president and her friends worked up a super and sound for Wednesday night Rev Dr Du Pree made the appeal for the collection.
The officers of the Springfield division are Mr. B J Brown, president, Mr Thomas S Burnett vice-president, Mr A Newton Service, secretary, Mr Edward L Conie, treasurer Mr Carter, chaplain, Mrs A Chandler, lady president, and Mrs Mary L Lo Conti secretary, Mrs Beaile M. Wood, who sang 'One Fleeting Hour' has a daughter, Miss Burnea O. Woods, who is a violinist, and another daughter, Miss Marjorie Wood, who is a pianist, Mrs. Charles Morrison is also an active member Mrs. Chandler and Mr Service deserve great credit for their hard work in arranging the meetings.
Mr. Service is a beauty culture specialist and the manufacturer of hair goods. Dr. William B. Jones, the dentist, and a few of his friends attended the Monday night meeting. We visited his office at 475 Main street the next day and discovered that he had a well equipped office with an X-ray machine. Merrill Brown Pierce, formerly connected with the New York W. A. is the dental dentist. Dr. B. Gordon is a successful physician in Springfield.
Springfield has two bergemen who have attained distinction, Dr William N De Berry, pastor of the St John's Congregational church and Rev the Calvin Waller, pastor of a large Baptist church Dr De Berry is a graduate of Flake and Oberlin, who came to Springfield fresh from Oberlin twenty years ago. He has built up a strong, self-supporting church, which is doing institutional work. It owns property in the immediate vicinity of the church which yields over $5,000 a year in rent, and owns a farm of fifty acres at East Brookfield Maze on Lake Leaway. Dr De Berry is also in wide demand as a speaker.
Rev Dr Waller came from Baltimore, MD where he founded Custom-Williams University and other enterprises. His com-in-law Harry Wilson, in Baltimore, leading Negro financier Dr Waller has been a champion of the manhood rights of the Negro for over a decade of years. He is now a member of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and in great demand as a lecturer.
Watt Terry, Brockton's Financial Wizard
Brookton, Mass. is America's shoemaking center. The visitor can stand at the depot and see in the northwest the famous Douglas plant and in the east other plants. When he boasts a southbound train for a stretch of nearly half a mile he will see various shoe manufacturing plants. Humor has that the father of George F. Keith and the father of William F. Douglas were shoemakers, that they started a showmakers, evolved into manufacturers and became millionaires Mr. Douglas went higher, until he was elected Governor of Massachusetts. Mrs. Howard, the head of another wealthy family, lives on an estate on Main Street. Her sons and grandsons dominate the financial life of Brockton Nearly all of the rich men and millionaires of Brockton were born poor or their fathers were. The wife of Mr George Sprague, a shoe manufacturer, belongs to the Newport branch of the distinguished Hayard family, and is a noted authoress.
The Negro race in Watt Terry, the Negro real estate magnate, has produced a financial genius of whom it may well be proud. He started his career in Brockton a few years ago as janitor of the Y. M. C. A. Today he owns two automobiles and considerable property and controls hundreds of dollars in property. His office is in the Checkerton building, the finest smart

We appreciated the encouraging words of Rev Jennings Rev Dr Jones and Mr Johnson, who handles The Negro World.
The Automobile Railway
Last Friday evening we left Buckton for a fishing trip to New York to arrange for our future there. We have seen trains propelled by steam by overhead wires or by the third rail. We have seen street cars in New York city propelled by underground cables. But we have never seen an automobile car, with gasoline as the driving force, moving on rails, until we cached Tremont and started for Fairhaven. Mass It was a short, very broad car with the motor in front, which moved on a single track. There were fourteen seats in the car. Two persons could sit on each seat on the eastern side and three persons could sit on each seat on the western side. The alaes were so wide that two persons could stand without difficulty. There was plenty of space in the front and rear of the car. The small car could accommodate thirty-five sitting and twenty five standing passengers without much crowding. At Fairhaven we crossed the river to New Bedford on a peculiar little ferry boat. It was short and broad and able to accommodate more than at first could be imagined.
New Bedford and Boston Divisions
We must now bring this story to a close. We reached New Bedford Friday evening and met in a conference, Vice-President Lloyd and Mr George at the ferry, were piloted to the home of Mr Oliver Grobe the president. He carried us to a V N L A social, where joy and happiness reigned. Although nearly one-half of the New Bedford members are out of work and the remainder work only on part time, the members are local and outspoken and are planning staging two splendid meetings for us.
This afternoon (it is now Sunday evening) we addressed a roaming U.N.A. meeting under the auspices of the Boston Division in Mascotte Hall on Tremont street President I P Wurlimma and the division gave ex-president Charles C Stewart and the writer a royal welcome. We are now departing to address the U.N.A. A lateray Society and will speak on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Boston. We reserve details about Boston and New Bedford until next week.
MUSICAL PROGRAM
WELCOMES COMMISSIONER
CELIO CUBO on Monday April 14th
the Ceiba Division No. 18 received a
second visit of the Hot High Commis-
sioner for Cuba. A fine musical pro-
gram was arranged for his entertainment.
The division (shout, newly
formed and the Black Crown Nurses in
the uniforms) beat a charming picture
to the night's entertainment. The High Commis-
sioner spoke first in
Spanish in brilliant form impressing
clearly in the minds of the Cuban Negroes the cause of unity among all Negroes for Africa's redeemment. One of his important phases of expiration was the recent alliance between all Negroes. His addresses in Spanish and
English were no less impressive. We are
confident that the high has uniting effort
Celio Cubo at Ceiba Division will ris-
tructure himself from a present condition
and shall toil to achieve the first class day of the United States of America.

WEEKLY SERMON
BY G. EMONI CARTER
St John 5: Chapter 11: "Neither do I condemn these."
It was my good fortune to be present as the speaker of the evening in a certain group in the great busy city of New York. This group is looked upon by many as being the centre of much that is real and constructive in thought endeavor. That there is some real latent power in the hidden resources of this group is evident; but the method of gaining anything that may prove constructive in building for racial interest as a group, is very inefficient.
Criticism, adverse or favorable, when constructive has a far-reaching influence, but when it is for the forthcoming simply because some one has his soul attuned to pick only the things, that we may refute and may maugh of the things we are forced to accept or admire is one ad and designed not as criticism, but may well be termed cynicism.
The Christ answered those who brought the woman to him in a manner that was clear and deliberate. He saw the opportunity to send a mighty truth to the gullity and those who accused He wrote in plain terms, language a message of far-reaching importance. The accuser saw and fed the gullity stood dumb in presence of the Master, and then was addressed in a question. Hath no man accused thee. She replied, "No man, Lord. Neither do I condemn thee."
The group that puts over a constructive program must not condemn. The sign of greatness rest not in the ability of men to engage in doing little things, that destroy and tear down in life, but in being able to rise to any height of character and tolerate in our open enemy the unwarranted attacks. This does not mean passive resistance, but it is the ability to command legions of unseen forces to combat the enemy. I speak not of angels and horsemen of glory, who come to fight our battles, but I speak of that thorough grasp and understanding you have of God, yourself and your thoughts, that each and every one of you serve your every beast, because of your adherence to the law of light and love.
It is foolhardy to condemn the man or group of folks, who are left in darkness, still believing they are in the light. As yet, their eyes are hidden and the dust of conceit is blinding them. They have the wisdom of the ages at their command, yet a mere child may rise up in his simplicity and confound them.
Ask which one has contributed one single thing to the human family that has helped to make the world better. There comes the response, we have each been busy in developing our resources bearing in mind that "preservation is the first law of nature," a statement that is only true to those who are yet blinded to the fact that Christ gave us a convincing example to the contrary. Preservation is a law of nature, but not first to those who are ordering their lives after the Christian fashion.
I would think reproduction the first law of nature, as a matter of fact, God sought to reproduce himself in man and man was commanded to reproduce, not to preserve. Preservation came after man had subjected himself to the law of death and in his struggle to regain his lost estate, then in his selfish motives, he seeks to preserve himself to the exclusion of the other fellow.
.
This is daily being performed, still this is not an argument that it is right and just.
When we come into full appreciation of the wonderful love of Christ we are willing to look upon a group of folks whose many fine, prepared talents could be serving the many needed wants of a suffering, hungry mass, and with the whist I say, "Neither do I condemn thee."
Some day, may be, when this group shall stop long enough to know their strength in the unfolding of a useful life, be able to control their power of thought, and then be able to deny the self of the peculiar and singular joy that may come in a harangue, that accomplished nothing but serve only to make man a warped individual through a catering to the mental side while the physical and spiritual sides of their natures go undeveloped. "Neither do I condemn you." Go forth, oh ye young hearts and grasp the lessons meant for you.

LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday night, April 20—Speaking on the subject, "The Future of the Negro in World Affairs," the Hon Marcus Garvey delivered an address here tonight which for clearness of vision, depth of thought force and logic of argument could not be eclipsed, and re-establishes the fact that he is unquestionably a leader—a leader endowed with a God-given inspiration to see into the far distant future and gauge from the present condition of world affairs the destiny to which the Negro race is headed. With this vision of the future he seeks through the medium of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to prepare the race for the destiny that awaits it by awakening its self-consciousness and inspiring it with the hope that it will again become a nation when it shall have established a government of its own on the continent of Africa.
The followers of Liberty Hall can never be said to lack enthusiasm in the movement, but the presence of the President General on the platform seems to enhance their enthusiasm, and the thousands who attended the meeting tonight applauded vigorously and in other ways showed their endorsement of the sentiments expressed by Mr Garvey in the course of his address, the beginning of which he reiterated the stand which the Universal Negro Improvement Association took from the time of its organization for the purpose of uniting the four hundred million people of the world, thus linking up the millions of Negroes in the United States of America with the millions of the West Indies of Central and South America of Asia and Africa for our industrial commercial social religious educational and political betterment.
Going directly to his subject and discussing the future of the Negro from the present aspect of world affairs Mr Garvey laid stress upon the utterances made by David Lloyd George of England at the Genus Conference last week when he admitted that the bloodless war mankind ever knew or saw was brooding because of the disorganized conditions of nations at the present day. These conditions Mr Garvey said had been predicted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association in several years ago when the great Italians were discussing and in this ad-
Why not support your own industries and help to find employment for your Race? Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own enterprises the more will we be able to employ more members of our Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, we employ over two hundred. If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the race to become economically independent; if you expect the race to be respected generally, if you expect us to run more factories and operate more enterprises; if you expect us to employ more Negroes, then you must support the enterprises we have already started.
The following enterprises are now operated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association through the African Communities' League and the Negro Factories' Corporation:
UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY
Wet and finished laundry work done by competent hands. Send or take all your clothes to this laundry and help the race to develop strength in the laundry industry. Call Harlem 2877 for orders.
UNIVERSAL TAILORING AND DRESSMAKING DEPARTMENT
Ladies and Gentlemen and dresses made to order. Also pressing and dry cleaning. Every Negro should have his or her suit tailored by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, by doing this you will help the race to develop strength in the tailoring industry. Call Harlem 2877 for orders.

Will you not make the sacrifice of going a block, two or three so as to deal with your own race enterprise, which through its success may employ you some day? A real race patriot would go a mile if need be to help his race develop. Please make up in your mind to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association employ more Negroes by patronizing these industries. Do it and let the race grow. Look for the colors, the Red, Black and Green.

mission made by the statesman of Europe, he saw the means whereby the fulfillment of the plans laid by the Universal Negro Improvement Association would be accomplished if the entire Negro race stood solidly behind the association and made an organized demand for their rights. "By the confusion that exists among the powerful nations to the world," he said, "the Negro race has a splendid chance and a splendid opportunity to emancipate Africa who, the hour comes, and it is drawing near n" "It is not that we have to do so much fighting. Mr Garvey declared. "It is not that we have to build so many battleships, all we want is organization. When four hundred million people are organized to get anything, all that they have to do is to reach out and get it, and that is the organization we are endeavoring to effect in the Universal Negro Improvement Association."
Concerning the results which have been achieved by the organization, Mr Garvey said that it was no longer a national movement existing in America, but it was an international movement which had succeeded in influencing public opinion everywhere, and there was every reason why the membership of the organization should feel satisfied and encouraged by what has already been accomplished.
The address throughout was a masterly effort a brilliant piece of oratory delivered with the eliquence of a man having a profound understanding of the psychology of his race and who can live home with vehemence the points that are most appealing stir them with enthusiasm and imbu them with the hope that the day is coming when the Negro will again take his place in the sun among the other nations of the world.
One of the most important announcements made tonight was that the Universal Negro Improvement Association had acquired a large printing plant situated at 153th street and Seventh avenue, which will be known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association on a Publishing House and which will hold the magazines and books used for educational purpose in the work of the organization. This news was received with great jubilation and is another evidence of the fact and foreseen of the executives of the association in adopting tangible means of improving

We have arrived at a time in world history when we must take a decided stand. That stand the Universal Negro Improvement Association determined five years ago, when it organized itself for the purpose of drawing into one united whole the 400 000,000 Negroes of the world, thereby linking up the millions of Negroes of the United States of America with the millions of the West Indies, of South and Central America, of Asia and Africa for our industrial, commercial, social religious, educational and political betterment

world for the purpose of establishing a nation of our own on the continent of Africa. Very few people realized what we were up to five years ago, when we brought into being in these United States of America the Universe. Negro Improvement Association The students of political economy and of political science knew well what the Universal Negro Improvement Association was striving after and they readily joined the movement and supported the cause and among the many are those of you who are in Liberty Hall tonight and the five million who make up the membership of this great organization. We anticipated five years ago just what is happening now.
When Woodrow Wilson of America, David Lloyd George of Eng and Clemenceau of France, Bonnoni of Italy and the rest met at Versailles and decided that they were to have a world peace abler statesmen knew that there would be no peace abler statesmen knew that they were only waiting time that they were only deceiving themselves Statesman Lloyd George could not have seen three years ago that there would be no peace. I am sorry for his empire because just a few days ago he admitted that we are going to have the blood est war man kind ever knew and saw because of the disorganized conditions of nations today
We knew that long ago we could have told him that. We knew that all the time and they are going to admit much more. That David Lloyd George admitted last week at Genoa. What has happened? The economic conference that they are holding is nothing else but a conference of suspicion. We have France suspecting the intentions of England. England suspicious of the actions of Italy, Italy suspicious of the actions of England and France. Russia and Germany suspicious of all, none will trust the other. How can there be peace when human feeling and the human mind and the human heart is so corrupt? It is impossible for us to have peace so long as human nature remains as it is. So long as it becomes the desire of the one race to advance to the disadvantage of the other; so long as it is the desire of the one nation to succeed at the expense of the other, so long will that breed the cause of war. hence we are about to have wars and rumors of wars.
Preparing for Reorganized Conditions
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is preparing the minds of 400,000,000 Negroes for the re-organized condition of the world. We know that we are going to have many more wars than the one we have had from 1914 to 1918, and we cannot afford to be found napping as was the case in 1914 when two million of us were marched off to the battle fronts of France, Flanders and Mesopotamia without being told what we were to fight for, without being promised any consideration for our suffering and sacrifice. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is preparing the minds of Negroes everywhere for that great contingency which is bound to come, and I am glad now that they themselves have admitted it—that there will be no peace.
Dissatisfaction and Distrust Everywhere
As far as world conditions go we find a great deal of dissatisfaction everywhere. Not only in Europe is there dissatisfaction and distrust, but in Asia there is dissatisfaction and distrust. Even on this American continent there is dissatisfaction and distrust. It means therefore that so long as one man distrusts the other so long will there be groans and causes for great conflict and probably war. As they have admitted, we find that great nations which were allies in the bloody conflict in 1914-1918 have become separated in opinion. In ideals as far as the economic and political future of these nations go
The Struggle for Bread
We as I have often said, realized that the struggle of today is the struggle for the staff of life. England's great struggle in Europe. France's great struggle in Europe Italy's great struggle in Europe. America's great struggle in this Western hemisphere is for no other reason than to have enough food for their respective citizens. All the suspicion of France against England and all the suspicion of England against France and Italy against both is nothing else than that selfish desire to have the one race and one nation exist economically and politically at the expense of all and sundry. There is absolutely no sympathy there is absolutely no love; there is absolutely no charity in their program, and because of that there is bound to be a bloody conflict between them all, and the best that the Negro can do while he himself does not create it or encourage it or desire it—the best thing we can do is to organize in readiness for the bloody conflict that is bound to come. That is the way other peoples have won their freedom. That is the only way other peoples have won their liberty. As for in-

stance in the last war there were many of the Eastern provinces and principalities and Western principalities in Europe that were under the tutelage of Russia and Austria Hungary prior to the war, but during the war what happened? They saw their opportunity and seized it for getting their freedom. And that is the opportunity that we expect—that is bound to come. Whether we will or not, it is bound to come because of the disarranged condition of the world and the disorganized condition of the human race everywhere because of the selfishness and greed among races and among nations.
Everything Achieved by Organization
The Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches that if anything is achieved it can only be done through organization. There is no power in the world so advantageous to a people there is no power in the world as helpful to a people as the power of organization. Nothing can be accomplished in this world as it is now without organization—organization either in one way or in the other. What has been done within the last two or three hundred years to affect human life, to affect the existence of the human race has happened through organization. If it is the Christian religion you will admit it has had its potency and influence forced upon the world through organization. If it is Mohammedanism you will admit that it has made its inroad into the hearts and souls of millions and hundreds of millions through organization. Anything that

has contributed to human success and human happiness by way of reform has within the last two thousand years been done through organized effort and organised determination. Organization is the only motive power that counts for anything.
A Universal Movement
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are endeavoring to build up not only a national organization but a universal movement through which we can make universal demand for our rights. There are some who criticize us and are at this time criticizing as to how we are to emancipate Africa, saying that it is impossible. By the confusion that exists among the powerful nations of the world we have a splendid chance (Applause)—a splendid opportunity to emancipate Africa when the hour comes—and it is drawing near (Renewed applause.) It is not that we have to do so much fighting, it is not that we have to build so many battleships. All that we want is organization. When 400,000,000 people are organized to get anything, all that they have to do is to reach out and get it that is all (Applause.) And that is the organization we are endeavoring to effect in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Governments do not treat with individuals. Governments treat with organized powers—organized representation. You and I individually can talk between now and doomday about our rights and no government will listen. But when governments know that you have millions of people demanding the thing you want government is bound to hear because government is made up of the opinion of the people. When millions of people determine that government should do certain things for them government is bound to listen to their demands.
Power Through Organization
Therefore I want you to realize that our power now and in the future will be through organization. There is no other organization that reaches out with a bigger program than the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause). Your organization occupies a unique opinion in the world today. It occupies a position similar to that of the Zionist movement during the war. It occupies the position similar to that of the Sinn Fein movement of Ireland. What made the Irish

Free State? It was not the individual Irish opinion; it was the Sim Feld movement. What made them restore Palestine? Not the individual opinion of the Jew; it was the Elonist movement. What will make Africa free? Not the individual opinion of the Negro, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association through organized opinion and through organized power; and that we have today. Whether we be in New York or any other part of the United States or any other part of the world, as to sticking to this program we have done splendidly; we have absolutely no cause to be dissatisfied. We have absolutely no cause to regret what has been done because we have done wonderfully well. We have done with what has been placed at our disposal, more than any other race and any other nation within the period given to us, which is four and one-half years.
The Influence of Movement
Africa Can Be Emanolpated
To those who say that we cannot win Africa because we have not all the people, let me tell you that when the hour comes—and it is drawing near—not that we are making it, but others are making it possible—when that hour comes you are going to see more Ne- (Continued on Page 10)

Dear friend and sister in the cause Afric:—By this you will know that I am still fighting strenuously to help put the program over. It is with the greatest pleasure I read from time to time of the noble stand your division has taken in connection with our movement, though it does not come strange to me, as I did not expect anything less from Banesa. I only hope the members have realized by this time the wonderful magnetic power that each and every officer possesses besides their undoubted loyalty to the colors of the Red the Black and the Green, and the cause for Africa's freedom, and I also hope the officers have seen the determined spirit of loyalty as being manifested by the members. Give my best wishes to one and all; tell them I ask that they continue faithfully to the end Iables sent to Lloydge and his boss by our chief and leader only mark the beginning of a beginning, but when we shall have placed our feet on Africa soil, then the Georges will realize that the end is even at the door. We are determined that we shall never let the new flag fall
Since last I saw you all I have visited the following divisions in Oriente Cayo Mambi, Antilla, Marcane, Santiago, Chaparra, Delicias, San Manuel, Puerto Padre, Manatee, Jobabo, Rio Caute, Palma Soriano, and now I am in Mansanillo on my way to Niguero In the province of Camaguey I visited Camaguey, Nuovitas, Moren, Ciego de Avila, Florida, Cespedes and Zatibonico. I am trying to reach the provinces of Santa Clara, Matanassa, Havana and Pinas del Rio before I return to Banes.
I will be much grateful to you if you can get me the name of the president of the San Geronimo Division Owing to the geographical location it becomes very hard and expensive to visit them. Nevertheless, I am doing my very best. I believe I have the hardest task of all the commissioners. For instance, I have thirty-four divisions to contend with scattered all over the country.
Did you know that the province of Oriente is twice the size of Jamaica? Then these Cuban trains- My God! I hate to think of them, in one week the Marti-San Luis train jumped the track twice, which took from eight to ten hours to get them back, so you can imagine.
Wishing you all a never-ending success, and hoping to see you in the near future, I remain as ever.
Youra, fraternally for Negro Progress.
EDUARDO V. MORALES.

P S.-Permit me to thank your division for the financial aid it gave me which enabled me to go through the several divisions above mentioned

ROUSING MASS MEETING

HELD AT BACON CASTLE, VA.
BACON CASTLE, Va. - A roaring meeting was held on the 5th of this month, an occasion for the unveiling of our charter. The success of this affair manifested itself by the crowding of Liberty Hall to welcome the able speaker Mr N C Drew president of the East End Division No 102, Newport News, Va. The speaker gave us such a glowing description of the alma and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that every member of our division took his remarks as an incentive to do more for the advancement of the race and the redemption of our Motherland, Africa. We also feel thankful to know that the U N. I A. has such a man like Mr N C. Drew to send in our midst. We hope to have again this young man to visit us some time in the near future.

LARGE CROWDS HEAR MR. GARVEY IN NEW HAVEN
Enthusiastic Throng Attends Two Meetings of the Division There
Never since the origina on two years ago of the New Haven division has such enthusiastic meetings been held as those on the nights of April 21 and 25, when the Hon. Morus Gurley explained the aims and objectives of the U N I A to a large gathering of old Fellows Hall. The president Mr. Sydney Murray was master of commands and a welcome address was given by the executive secretary, Mr. Mark

BRIEFS FROM EAST LIBERTY DIV. (NO.134) EAST PITTSBURGH, PA.
By BERTHA J FINNEY
General Secretary
We the members of East Liberty
Division, are marching slowly but
steadily onward. All "ifs" have been
eliminated from our vocabulary. Our
slogan is "We Will and We Can"
Members of the East Liberty Divi
sion have subscribed ninety dollars
($90) to the farm project. Forty-five
dollars has already been paid in by
the following members
Mr John Bilvers $23 00
Miss L Wilson 10 00
Mr J. Clarke 6 00
Mr F May 5 00
A new arrival—Little Honretta Vinton Davis, seven weeks old, Wednesday, April 26, 1922, daughter of Mr and Mra K B Davis, 56'9 Kirkwood street We truly hope that she will be inspired and imbued with the principles of real womanhood as exemplified by Lady H V Davis, International Organizer of the U N I A that, in the coming years she too may be a guiding star, leading others on to do and dare greater things
We regret very much that owing to unavoidable conditions our audience was smailed on the evening of the visit of Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Honored indeed we were more than honored to have had her with us. Then to sit and listen to her as she appealed to us with her power of conquence as a speaker filled our hearts with en husband to go on—n—on to success. Lady H V Davis is an inspiration, not only to Negro womanhood but to all womanhood.
Hon W O Smyer surprised us a by visiting us on Sunday April 9. Much as we regret the disappointment of the division at Wheatland Pa. we know their loss was our great gain. For Hon W O Smyer Commissioner of Pennsylvania always brings a practical message, always using as a basis the psychology and philosophy of man. During his address this fact was made very plain—that of having confidence in one self in order to win success. We will wonders never cease. The parent body seems to be full of them. East Liberty Division Sunday afternoon and on the scene there appears a stately young man with a charming personality—but is this all? No. The young man is Hon W O Poston, Minister of Industry and Labor, not only a student of economics but one who knows how to make practical use of his theories. He informed us that he was merely making remarks. We hope and trust we may have the pleasure of listening to an address. For he is a powerful logical speaker conversant, indeed, with his subject.
East Liberty Division (No 124) is looking forward and anxiously preparing for another real treat in having Hon F A Toote, secretary General with us on June 4 and 5. We must especially thank Hon I A Toote for being so kind as to notify us thereby giving up ampe time to get ready. A real discipline of preparedness.
Example is for better and more powerful than precept
[Editor's Note We desire to compliment General Secretary Finney on the terreness and at the same time completeness of this report of East Liberty Division's activities. We hope others sending news for publication will study it and profit (rebe) ]

"AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND"
Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa-All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More
The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa.
The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($500) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association
If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be made out to the association and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N Y, U S A.
All donations to this fund will be acknowledged to the Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now.
All persons donating $25 or more to this fund in addition to being granted a certificate, will have his or her photograph published in the Negro World and in the Universal Volume to help to foster distribution all over the world.
THE FUND
Boca, Panama, April 8, 1942
Gentlemen—Inclosed please find the amount of $5 toward the African Redemption Fund. Trusting by the mercy of God in the near future we shall hear the cry that Africa, our Fatherland, has been redeemed from east to west and from north to south. With very best wishes for our success. Foura faithfull) J L M
5.00 Gentlemen - You will please find in-
closed a remittance of $20 for the
African Redemption Fund. Trusting
that the 400 000 000 Negroes of the
world will be very liberal in their con-
tribution to this great world-wide
cause, I remain Fraternally yours.
EMANCIPATION OF AFRICA DRAWING NEAR
great march under the Red the Black and the Green than you have seen start since you have been on the face of the globe. So that I want you to realize that you have absolutely no cause to be disattained and discouraged in any way. We are looking forward to the convention of August, the biggest thing ever conducted by this movement and the biggest program to be put over by this race of ours. We are looking forward to it for great results. I want you to understand that we have forced public opinion forward. It is not a question of a national movement existing in America, it is an international movement which has succeeded in influencing public opinion everywhere. Great work has been done through this organization in four and a half years, and we feel sure that in a short while—and when I say a short while I do not mean in an hour or two, as well as it may mean that—but in a short while, probably a year or two or five or ten or twenty years, the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be realized in its fullness, because while we had our opinion about the future of the world and the condition of humanity everywhere and the conduct of nations to each other three years ago, when the so-called English statesmen and the statesmen of the world were deciding when they were going to have peace, we had a different opinion.

I will gladly render my services to you without charge for a redeemed Africa. Never in all my life did I feel the sense of duty for my race until now I can find words to express my feelings slightly.

It shows that our judgment is better than the judgment of the other fellows who has been leading us for the last 2,000 years, because England with her experience in government could not have seen three years ago what they admit today. I heartily believe the Negro is the wisest statesman of today. I have great confidence and faith in the statesmanship of the Negro today as reflected through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the statesmanship of the Universal Negro Improvement Association predicts the fall of empires. I am saying it tonight from Liberty Hall as I have often said—not with the vision of a prophet nor with the vision of a seer, but just with the vision of a man who has studied the science of politics and the science of government. I say this: That in another fire
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1922
[Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his left shoulder].
Oppressed Humanity Crying for Free dom
Oppressed humanity everywhere in crying for freedom for women, in the India Africa or parts of Asia or Europe in seized humanity ever where seizing for liberty and for democracy, hence 40,000,000 groves in the cry for their freedom cry and we are determined to have that the true death in the atempt of seizing it.
I ask that you redouble your courage and energy to dedicate and I reconserve a vehicle to the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association because a better day is in store for 400,000,000 of us. I have an abiding faith in the race of ours—the possibilities of the race of ours. Because of that I am willing to give all of my life even to the last drop of my blood, because I know it will not be in vain. I work today because I know tomorrow will bring us a brighter and more glorious day—and when, I say tomorrow I do not mean tomorrow of my own existence. I mean the tomorrows that will bring into existenbe the unborn generations of our own race. I see a brighter day in store for the generations to come and I work on unselfishly, feeling sure that Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands up to God and prince shall come out of Egypt. (Applause)
And how must we do it? How must we bring about this day? We shall bring about a better day by each and every one doing his part performing his duty, accomplishing his work Each and every one of us must do that which is necessary, each and every one must do the work that is allotted to him. You say your work is different from mine. Why should your work be different from mine? Is your hope different from mine? The hopes that you have are the hopes that I have the sufferings that I undergo are the sufferings that you undergo. Ask me why I fight for the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and I will say not because I am a Jew, not because I am an Englishman not because I am an Irishman not because I am a Korean man not because I am a Japanese man and I fight because I am
Therefore I ask that Negroes everywhere realize that God is reflected in you and that you are your own sovereign and that there is no sovereign beyond God the Creator God the Omnipotent, God the Almighty Realizing that and knowing yourselves. I feel sure that you will not admit to an inferior place among the nations and races on the world. This is my message to you and I trust you will take it from Liberty Hall Reconsecrate yourselves to the program we have started and continue until we have united the 400 000-000 Negro people and placed the Red the Black and the Green on the hill tops of Africa. (Applause)
The Advantages Accruing to Negro Race
We want to warn you my friends of the great opportunities and advantages that will accrue to our race out of this fraternal conflict that is obtaining in Europe I suppose most of you are acquainted with the sport of baseball. You know the rules of the game. Not very many years ago it was my pleasure we a student of Syracuse University to witness one of the great football games between two rival universities—Syracuse and Cornell. You no doubt understand that the opposing
teams in striving to gain a goal sometimes tumble upon top of each other and you find a multitude of men who were erstwhile well organized now are engaged in a hotter skier of humanity on the football ground. I was looking on that game, it was very tense, very exciting and very nerve-racking—men tumbling upon top of each other But Joe Trigg who was the only colored man on other team by some accident or by some act of providence got possession of the ball while the men were tumbling upon top of each other and else they knew it Joe Trigg had crossed the line. When the captain of the opposing team looked around and now trigg had pressed the line he said Well it be thrashed. Laughter You are the right figure of it
Let them fight each other let them grapple with each other. Let them strangle each other in this economic strife but let us be on the quiet side let us be on the watch let us stand ready so that when they have engulfed them selves in their own blood we can step in and possess the land. My message to you tonight is let us be prepared there is a day about to down there is a light about to break. Men of thought must action clear the way.

CONVENTION FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1922
Every Negro Asked to Contribute to Help Make Convention a Success
For the purpose of meeting the expenses of the International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world the Universal Negro Improvement Association today opens its Convention Collecting List asking every Negro in the world to contribute a dollar or more to meet the expense of this gigantic movement.
The program of the Convention this year will be in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention in the first of August. Delegates will be from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their control.
Please send in your dollars, two, five ten cents or one hundred to help in the work.
Address your communication to Register Universal Negro Improvement Association, 50 West 135th Street, New York, United States of America. All donations sent in will be going to work in the columns of this paper.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1922
Nuestra Organizacion Honduras
Intrigado por la formal organización que estan acuerpando los Negros residientes en la Costa Norte, estuvimos al habla con el Dr. D. Erastus Thorpe delegado a la gran Convención de Negros reunida en Nueva York.
por La Asociación Universial para el Adelanto de la
Raza Negra
La Asociación Universal para el Adelante de la Raza Negra con sus asiento en los Estado Unidos, esta organizando el acercimiento de 400 000 000 de Negros con el mayor exito, aqui en Honduras—nosejos ya tenemos organizada la I16 Division para lo cual estoy perfectamente lacultado por el Cuartel General establecido en Nueva York bajo las ordenes del Presidente Universal, Marcus Garvey.
La Salvación de Nuestra Raza Depende de Sus Hombres de Carácter, de Sus Hombres de Valor, de Sus Hombres de Confianza, de Sus Hombres Conocedores de Si Mismos—No Todo Aquel Que Pueda Hacer Uso de Sus Sentidos Puedo Considerarse Como un Verdadero Hombre—La Naturaleza Ha Creado al Hombre de un Modo Muy Distinto a su Manera de Actuar Durante su Existencia
Yo soy el Presidente de la División de Tela—continuo y delegado a las Convenciones. En Cetna ya hemos organizado un establishment de enseñanza bajo la dirección de competente profesorado. En Tela hemos comprado tres mananzas de terreno la pronta edificación de un Colegio de Segunda Enseñanza exclusivamente para Negro y servido por renombres pedagogos venidos de los Estados Unidos y de Europa. Nosotros, dentro del orden constitucional y respetuos a las leyes del país, hemos establecido nuestra labor sin tropiezo alguno, esperamos que la Republica Africana constituirá el poder formidable del mundo
El hombre.—Hemos seleccionado este tema por creer de imperiosa necesidad el traer a la mente de los cuatrocientos millones de miembros de nuestra raza, el verdadero reconocimiento propio, el cual so puede ser apreciado sino por medio del estudio del individuo que Dios ha creado a su propia imagen y semejanza.
Cuando decimos Hombre, no nos referimos a la especie humana que se mueve, nutre y viste a la última moda; nos referimos al individuo cuyo carácter y cuyo reconocimiento de si mismo le hacen acreedor al título de rev de la creación.
Entre los mil quinientos millones de almas humanas que habitan este planeta, creemos dificil encontrar un millar de verdaderos hombres; individuos fieles conocadores de si mismo, que sientan la verdadera compenetración de sus posibilidades y de sus límites, haciendo buen uso de sus facultades, no solamente en beneficio propio y el de su raza, sino para beneficio de la humanidad en general.
Al despedirnos del doctor Thorpe
amotamos en su exaltación, fe en sus
propositos y nos prometio seguir
informandonos de los trabajos para
que los demos a conocer al pueblo
hondureño - Atlantida, Honduras
Las Naciones de Europa
Las naciones de Europa deberán
organizarse en una forma o en otra,
o dejará de existir Europa.
No todo aquel que pueda hacer uso de sus sentidos puede considerarse realmente hombre. Hombre es aquel individuo que puede modelar su propio carácter, ser dueño absoluto de su propia vidy elaborar su propio destino.
La unidad del gobierno en ciertо grado no es n m un lujo n un ideal Es una necesidad. Y la alternativa es la anarauña y la bancarota
Cuando el Creador inoculó en el organismo humano el aliento de vida, su propósito fué el de constituirle en un alma viviente, dotándole con la autoridad de Rey de la Creación. No fué su intención la de crear un ser a su semejanza que descendiera a la categoria de servidumbre o esclavitud, por el contrario, su intención fué la de que este nuevo ser fuera siempre hombre, haciendo buen uso de sus sentidos con el verdadero conocimiento de sí mismo.
Hay cerca de ventitures naciones en el continente europeo. Cada una de ellas tiene su soberania politica, emite su propia moneda y establece sus propias tarifas. Todas ellas continuan en la hipótesis medieval de que cada estado es bastante a si propio. No ven que este es el siglo veinte. la edad del concerto internacional, de los ferrocarriles, de los telégrafos, de los créditos.
Grandes cambios se han operado en este Ser desde su creación. Le vemos hoy dividido en diferentes clases; ignorantes, holgazanes, imbéciles, fanáticos, sirvientes, esclavos y amos. El Ser Supremo nunca creo esta diferencia de clases, el creo el hombre, pero este ha retrogadado de tal manera, que se nos hace imposible encontrarlo del modo y con el propósito de que fué creado.
* La demanda de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra es, hombres de carácter, hombres de valor civico, hombres de confianza, hombres, de fé hombres compenetrados de que toda la creación está bajo su dominio y sobre ellos no exista otra autoridad sino Dios.
Una nación que trata de protegerse a si misma por medio del asilamiento se asmeja al caballero que tratase de mantenerse en seguridad construyendo un castillo en el Rin En el año 1600 pudiera haber defendede este castillo contra todos los enemigos. En el año 1922 esta fortaleza seria volada por caniones que disparan desde sitios invisibles Lo que la faita de unidad de Europa significa illustrado por los ferrocarriles Cuando fue creado un puñado de nuevas naciones por los que redactaron el tratado de Versarilles obtenido del antiguo imperio austro-hungaro. no prescriberon nada sobre la propieda de los ferrocarriles que pertenecían al antiguo goberno. El resultado es que ninguno de los países supo los furgones y locomotoras que posea.
Cuando el Altisimo produjo su obra maestra, el hombre, le colocó en el mundo como dueño y señor de todo lo creado, para que estableciera su soberanía a la medida de su deseo. Después de la creación y de habérsele dado al hombre posesión del mundo, el Creador delegó en él su autoridad espiritual. Esta autoridad significa el ajuste de los acontecimientos humanos, asociación y felicidad humana, convirtiéndose el hombre en el dueño de su propio destino, en el arquitecto de su propio futuro.
Suiza es un país de clase excelente Tiene un buen gobierno y el pueblo es respetuoso de la lev y muy laborioso. Pero Suiza tiene que importar las cuatro quintas partes de sus alimentos. Para obtener dinero con que pagarlos tiene que exportar sus productos, la mayor parte de los cuales on objetos de lujo Al hacer esta transferencia de productos de lujo por alimenticios, las tarifas de otros paises estan reduciendo a la desesperación a Suiza.
En el proceso del tiempo notamos que solamente cierto tipo de la especie humana ha satisfecho los deseos de su Creador. Le vemos constituyendo naciones, gobierno e imperios, así como también grandes empresas de comercio, industria y educación. Estos hombres, realizando el valor del poder que se les ha concedido, ejercitan cada molécula de este poder en beneficio de su prosperidad.
Los negocios de nación a nacimiento en Europa estan casi paralizados, a causa de que un commerciante jamás puede -bueno- cuarto valida manana la monela en que hoy contraita ser pagado por su mercancía, debido a las fantásticas fluctuaciones del cambio.
Nuestra organización desea estampar en la mente de todos y cada uno de los miembros de nuestra raza, que nuestras caidas en el pasado, en el presente y en el futuro han sido causadas por el poco conocimiento que tenemos del poder que la naturaleza nos haya concedido. Nosotros que clamamos la paternidad de Dios y la hermandad del hombre, hemos retrocedido convirtiéndonos en servidores y esclavos de aquellos que se han reconocido a sí mismo, posesionándose del mundo, entregado a todos por el Creador.
La falta de union de Europa y el fibril patriotimo de cada pequeño pais les obliga a mantener presupuestos militares considerables.
Debido a que ninguna pequeña nación renuncia a su soberania, cada una de ellas continua manteniendo la inflación de su moneda, en forma que el capital v la industria estin lesionados y se concede un prima a la especulación
Hase dicho que nunca se produce una reforma hasta que las circunstancias apremian
La federación de Europa puede llegar a ser un hecho cuando la necesidad apremie a Europa en forma que no pueda mantener por más tiempo la actual situación.
Durante los ultimos quinientos años el Negro ha estado en posición de ser ordenado; nuestra raza ha estado sin orientación durante largo tiempo, habiendo producido muy pocos hombres que puedan entender las desventajas de la edad en que vivimos. Aquellos que se precian de directores no han hecho otra cosa hasta el presente que, como esclavos, cumplir las órdenes de sus amos.
Amoldazando a Los Haitianos

Difcil es escribir acerca de la tranía de los Estados Unidos en Haiti y poder sostener los pies en el suelo. El desco de humedecer nuestra pluma en acido sulfuroico es irresistible. Nos causa gran desagrado al leer en la prensa el sinnúmero de atrocidades ocurridas en esa república del Caribe.
A nuestro entender el hombre no tiene otro dueño sino Dios. Su autoridad en el planeta que habita puede compararse con la autoridad celestial del divino maestro. Este modo de sentir y pensar reviste al hombre de tal valor, que imposibilita a su semejante el restringirle sus derechos. Tal prototipo de la especie humana cumple con su deber, de acuerdo con la disposición divina.
"La Nación" en su número del 26 de Marzo publica un artículo titulado
lado "Los derechos del ciudadano haitiano" el cual dice en parte:
"Protestamos en contra de cualquier elección verificada por el Consejo de Estado, cuerpo organizado legal y anticontitución/almente protestamos en contra de la convención impuesta sobre nuestra nación y demandamos su abolición, protestamos, en nombre de la civilización, en contra de la ocupación militar injustificada de nuestro país por ejércitos extrangeros, violando todo principio de ley internacional protestamos en contra del empréstito, una cuerda para nuestro cuello, que financieros imperialistas quieren imponer sobre la republica de Haiti protestamos en contra del inexplicado e injustificado envio de un alto comisionado a nuestro país. una humillacion mas, impuesta sobre nuestra nación."
"Convocamos a todos aquellos que aun se sientan con alguna dignidad y algun amor por su pais, para que asistan el 5 de Abril a la mama festación de protesta, con toda la fuerza de un alma patriótica."
"La manifestación, la cual será conducida pacímene, saldrá de la plaza de Cahmp-de-Mars a la seis de la manta."
Para asegurar el orden natural de la manifestación, el Sr Henrique escribió una carta al General MacDougal, comandante de la Gendarmería en Port-au-Prince, detallando los planes para la manifestación, y dijo "Tomamos la libertad de notificarle para que tome las medidas que fueren necesarias en el objeto de mantener el orden, de manera que esta proyectada manifestación se lleve a cabo sin interrupción alguna"
A esta cortez comunicación la siguiente respuesta fue enviada por el General MacDougal
"Sr. Alphonse Henriquez :
"Querido senor: El Ministerio del Interior en su carta del 28 de Marzo, No. 598RIISC, ha informado a la Gendarmeria de Haïti que el gobierno ha decidido no permitir manifestaciones de esa naturalza, pues tales manifestaciones sirven solamente para agitar los animos y perturbar el orden publico. En conformidad con la decisión del gobierno, siiento comunicarle la manifestación por Ud. proyecto no sera permitida."
"Considerese informado de la disposición, querido senor, y acepta la consideración de mis mejores deseos."

Efectos Del Sentimiento
Humano
Existe una resolución en la legislatura del estado de Massachusetts recomendando al Congreso la aprobación de la ley en contra del linchamiento. la cual da poder al gobierno federal para castigar la consumación de tal crimen. El acto humano y justo de garantizar protección a nuestros ciudadanos Negros, asegurando en el cumplimiento de la ley protección constitucional para todos los ciudadanos, es un asunto en el cual no cabe discusión.
La población Negra del mundo empieza a darse cuenta. Escuchamos hace poco tiempo acerca de la actitud del regimiento Negro de Jamaica, el cual se nego cumplir la orden de salir para India a ayudar a los soldados ingleses en la oprision de aquel pueblo.
Estamos creandonos enmigos en nuestras fronteras, enmigos que se hacen importantes por nuestra práctica de linchamientos. Quizas más importante que todo esto, estamos perdiendo el respeto de las masas concientes, ultrajando seres humanos con la práctica de exterminio y brutilada —New York American.
La Administración Judicial
Paralizada en Puerto
Rico
El procurador general ha dirigido una carta circular a las cortes de distrito de la isla en la cual declara habere agotado la pertida para atender a los gastos de viaje y dietas de los jurados y testigos
Los jueces se han visto por lo tanto en la necesidad de suspender los juicios criminales por jurado hasta el mes de julio, cuando comenzará a regir el nuevo presupuesto
Todos los juicios pendientes, inclusive las apelaciones, se han paralizado.
Los diarios declaran que este ocasiona perjuicios, no tan solo a la administración de justicia, sino a la administración de justicia, sino a la intereses de los abogados que intervienen en esos asuntos, aparte de la necesidad, para los indicados, de que terminen sus procesos lo más antes posible.
El gobernador ha ordenado hacer la investigación de muchas denuncias que se relacionan con la materia.
Collazo Se Avistará Con el
Secretario de Guerra
El señor Ramón Díaz Collazo, que llegó a Nueva York procedente de San Juan, Puerto Rico, en el vapor "Puerto Rico" de la Porto Rican Line, se expresó en terminos duros en extremo, contra el gobernador E. Mont Reilly, de Puerto Rico, que con fecha 11 del corrente Abril, lo destituyó del puesto que ocupaba como fiscal del distrito. El señor Collazo declaro que sal dra directamente para Washington, donde conferenciaría con varios funcionarios del gobierno, con objeto de gestionar su vuelta al puesto de que fue destituido. El señor Collazo mantfesto que el gobernador Reilly es "incompetente en absoluto" y que su destitución, en su concepto, será cuestión de breve tiempo.
El gobernador Reily ha sido el centro de duros ataques, desde hace varios meses, y con frecuencia se ha tenido su destitución como inmunente.
Diaz Collazo se entrevistará con el secretario de Guerra Weeks, según se declaro en el departamento de Estado.
Collazo estuvo aquí en conferencia con el comisionado residente Cordova Davila, pero rehusó hacer ninguna declaración respecto a sus relaciones con el gobernador Reily
El Representante Humphreys y la Investigación
El representante Humphreys de Mississippi, autor de la resolución recientemente presentada a la camara v la cual fue sometida al comité de reglamentos pidiendo la investigación de los actos oficiales del gobernador F. Mont Reilly de Puerto Rico. censuro hoy al comité por ha ber dejado de informar sobre su resolución Humphreys declaró que el pueblo de Puerto Rico ha formulado cargos específicos contra Reily en los particulares presentados. Nos han dicho —agrego— que constituyamos un tribunal ante el cual se prueben los cargos y hasta el momento actual la unica contestation que de la camara es que no tiene tiempo El congreso tiene tiempo para inves tigar todo lo acontecido en la tierra desde la guerra y cuando se hace la suggestion de que alguen ha tomado el dinero del gobierno parece cerrar los oidos cuando el pueblo de Puerto Rico nos dice que un funcionario de este gobierno se ha tomado esa libertad.
Humphreys declara que no hay fundamento para que el pueblo de Puerto Rico se quejara de que el gobernador izara la bandera norte-americana después de su inauguración. Que los que izaron esa bandera en la isla fueron soldados de Pennsylvania y Wisconsin y que ha estado allí desde la guerra entre España y los Estados Unidos.
El representante declaró ademas que el senado de Puerto Rico habia manifestado que los derechos que se le conceden por la ley orgánica de Jones se les han negado y habianido pasados por alto la acciónlegal del governador. Que se dijo a Puerto Rico que esta era materia para considerarla el ejecutivo, no el congreso, pero que fue el congreso y no el presidente quien concedió esos derechos y garantias a Puerto Rico en la ley orgánica, y que ahora se niegan al pueblo si sus cargos son correctos. Dijo ademas que el comite sobre asuntos insulares del cual es el miembro no se habia reunido m seas veces desde que se reunió el congreso en Diciembre y que no sabia si es comite tenia prospectos de reunirse en el futuro. "No tenemos nada que hacer", agregó.
"No tenemos tiempo—concluyó—para investigar si es cargos verdaderos. Ellos dieron que el gobernador retro $5.000 de los fondos publicos para atender a los gastos de su viaje a Washington y los de los que lo acompanaban. El viaje de Puerto Rico a aqui cuesta $180. El gran jurado investigó y declaró que había tomado $1.500. No se si estos actos son verdaderos no. Se acusa que el retiró de los fondos publicos para si propio cineros dientes y que después que comenzó la investigación el gobernador dijo "Me han quedado $2.000 de ese dinero y la razón por la cual no ha dado cuenta de eso se debe a que el juez Bonner, ex-auditor, no ha hecho declaración memorizada de sus cuentas y tan pronto como lo haga presentaré un informe."
Prevee Otra Guerra Entre
Francia y Alemania
El conde Ilya Tolstoy, hijo del famoso filosofo y escritor ruso conde León Tolstoy, ve en la conferencia de Génova el principio de otra guerra. Recorre Tolstoy actualmente los Estados Unidos y dara en Washington una conferencia sobre "Las condiciones políticas del mundo y Rusia". Es complamente evidente—dijo en una entrevista—que las varias naciones que partelpan en la conferencia de Génova quieren los mercados ruros. Creo que Allemán está determinada a tracer la guerra a Francia. El gobierno sovlet no es más que una dictadura de pocos lombres que
mantienen sus posiciones contra el querer del pueblo. Ellos no permiten que se celebren elecciones y eso impide de consiguiente, que Rusia sea una verdadera democracia.
Los Estados Unidos son la gran arena del mundo, donde todo el mundo persigue furiosamente algo.
Puenso que la razon es porque hay manía de dinero. Los negocios en los Estados Unidos son una religión donde todo el mundo piensa en ello. Se ensenza en las escuelas. Eso es puerlir. El pueblo no tiene tiempo para comprender la vida.

Reconocimiento Del Egipto
Los Estados Unidos han reconocido al gobierno egipcio y también al gobierno del nuevo estado independiente de Egipto, conservando los derechos protocolares.
Esta iniciativa de los Estados Unidos es en efecto la misma tomada por las naciones europeas que han reconocido al rey Fuad y a su gobierno. Significa este paso que los derechos que fueron logrados por los americanos en el tratado con el imperio otomano cuando Egipto era una parte de ese imperio, han de ser reconocidos igualmente. El más importante de estos derechos es el de extraterritorialidad de los ciudadanos americanos acusados de hechos criminales para ser jugados ante tribunales formados por sus propios funcionarios diplomáticos y consulares. Hay semejantemente una prescripción en este convenio para la vista y falla de las causas civiles ante los tribunales extraterritiales.
Durante la guerra mundial, Enver Pasha y su gobierno trataron de derogar derechos de extraterritorialidad en el imperio otomano. Tal derogación no fue reconocida por los Estados Unidos ni por las naciones alladas. Fue, sin embargo, aceptada por los aliados de Turquia, Alemania, y las otras naciones antes enemigas fueron privadas por los tratados de Paris de sus derechos de capitulación, y sólo pueden ahora verlos renovados por medie de nuevos conciertos con el gobierno egipcio.
Egipto ha sido desde antiguamente un buen cliente en los mercados de los Estados Unidos. Sus importaciones de este país en 1920, seguir se calcula, fueron valuadas en $135.000.000.

Merton Howell, expresado reciente la opinión de que el mercado entre las dos naciones puede fácilmente ser triplicado en importancia si se dedica la atención debida al mercado epicpio—New York Herald.

MAN-AS WE KNOW HIM
HAVE WE TEN REAL MEN IN THE NEGRO RACE?
IT IS NOT EVERYBODY WHO MOVES AROUND THAT IS A REAL MAN
MEN OF CHARACTER, MEN OF COURAGE, MEN OF CONFIDENCE, MEN WHO KNOW THEMSELVES WANTED
12
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 of 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 possu-
ilities 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, avocaphantic class, the slave class, the servant class and the master class. These different classes God never created. He created Man, but this individual has retrograded so as to make it impossible for us 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 that 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—mon 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 man 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 except 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 hand, 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 himself is for him to feel that for him there is no human master. For him nature is his servant, and whatsoever he wills in nature that shall be his reward. If he wills to be a pigmy, a serf or a slave, that shall he be. If he wills to be a real man, in possession of the things common to man, then he shall be his own sovereign. When man fails to grasp his authority, then he sinks to the level of the lower animals, and whatsover to 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 concerned) who are, in our relationship to others, not better than the lower animals, because to us if the real man says go, we go. If he says come, we come. By this command we perform the functions of life, even as by a similar command the mule, the horse, the cow, the dog perform the will of their masters.
The Negro has for the last five hundred years been in the position of being commanded, even as the lower animals are commanded. Our race has been without a will, without a purpose of its own, for all this length of time, and because of that we have developed but few men who are able 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 find ten real men in this race of ours. I repeat,

They perform the will of their masters without question. To me a man has no master but God. Man in his authority is a sovereign lord. 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 save 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 himself. Oh how disgusting life becomes when on every hand, our hear people who bear your image, who bear your rebellion telling you that they cannot make it that fate is against them and that they cannot get a chance. What 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 a nature has been given to us by God for our own pleasure, for our own use for our own happiness and yet man say he cannot make it. How cowardly, how incompetent how thoughtless, how weal!

And what is the difference between man, the one that towers as a grunt above the other who, like a pigmy wallows in the gutter? Because the guitar it comes after discovering himelf, utilizes every ounce of his vitality and every part of his entire being to reach out to the higher things that are w thin 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 Himelf, 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, inconsistent 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 a superior God to the one who creates? 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, and God says "there shall be no other gods but Me."

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 state of the white men. I have seen them tremble under the verbal attack of the enemy. I have seen them almost willing to hide themselves in retreat because of the physical charge of the oppressor, and yet these fellows call themselves leaders. Whither leadest thou? To me it is but 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

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.
Among 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 Poin care of France; Ishi and Katon of Japan, Lenne 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.
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.
With the very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be
