The Negro World

CRY FOR INDUSTRY EMANCIPATION VOL. XII. No. 13 Fellow Men of the Negro Race: It becomes my duty to once more impress upon you the seriousness of the age in which we live. So many of us treat lightly the many changes that seem to come into our life as a race and are forced upon us by the regulation of those who control the economic and political affairs of nations. Serfs and Social Parighs We happen to find ourselves, as a people, living under conditions and amidst environments not wholly or not even partly of our own making. The great master minds of other races lay out the plans and methods by which they control and govern civilization. In the regulation of their affairs they purposely limit the Negro in his activities, making him a subject to conditions not created by himself, as far as the arrangements of human society goes. Hence, we find ourselves peons, serfs and slaves, and even social pariahs, in the various countries where we happen to find domicile. A Larger Freedom The cry for industrial and political emancipation comes from the teeming millions of our race in Africa. A similar cry is raised in the Southland and other sections of the United States. From the West Indies and Central America comes another cry for larger industrial and political opportunities. Thus we see ourselves cornered in every part of the world, industrially, politically and socially. What are we going to do? Are we going to allow those who have always circumscribed us to still dictate the policy by which we should be controlled. The answer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is "NO." We are determined that the four hundred million Negroes of the world shall be truly emancipated from the conditions of today. We desire a larger freedom, a freedom that will make us men among men, not to occupy a third or second place in the affairs of the world, but to become a part of the supreme activities of the day. We need better organization, we need a coming together here, there and everywhere. The time has really come for the four hundred million Negroes of the world to bond themselves together for concerted action. We can no longer afford to sectionalize our activities as a people, but with one universal program we must all march forth ready to conquer or to die. Africa; the 12 million square miles of our heritage, must be redeemed, the race everywhere. must be emancipated to the bigger and to the larger free- PREPARATION FOR GREAT INTERNATIONAL RACE CONVENTION dom, and this can only be done through co-operative effort on the part of each and every Negro. As I have often said, there is absolutely no use putting off for tomorrow what must be done today. World changes are moving fast, all oppressed peoples everywhere are seeking to take advantage of the changes, we cannot do otherwise. The many international conferences that have been held with the idea of settling world policy have proven abortive. We need not, attempted to regulate the affairs of the world. We shall go about our own way attending to our own affairs. Europe is able to take care of herself, Asia is able to take care of herself, America is able to take care of herself, all in the interest of their respective races, and the hour has come for black Africa to take care of herself. We shall leave no stone unturned to see that a new Africa awakes from the slumber of the past, that a new Ethiopia be erected, that a new empire be founded upon which the sun will never set. This is the scope of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its mighty effort to bring Negroes together everywhere. In the struggle upward we expect opposition, but opposition will only strengthen us to fight on the more until we have accomplished the great aim in view. "They Shall Not Pass!" Our enemies may confront us here, there and everywhere, but we shall accept the slogan of the French during the last war, "They shall not pass!" Four hundred million Negroes are determined that the enemies of Negro progress, the enemies of our independence, shall not pass us in their effort to destroy our glorious hope. We have concluded that if we must die, then four hundred millions of us shall die together, and in dying, surely, like Samson, we shall pull down the pillars upon the Philistines. The new Negro is here, he is until Gabriel blows his horn; he that in staying he shall play a man's part, nothing more and nothing less. We have been cowards in the past because of our lack of knowledge, because of our lack of chivalry, but today each Negro who has come in touch with the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken on new courage and is living a new life. For him all is hopeful; for him there is no death, except the death of the coward; brave men do not die; they only pass from one stage of activity to the other. Let us unite our forces, I say; let us come together and make the Universal Negro Improvement Association such a gigantic movement that even the legions of Hades will be unable to penetrate our ranks. How You Can Help! the present year, to which men from all parts of the globe are coming to join in with the mighty throng, to legislate for the future good of the race. Let us put on our working colors, to make this convention a success. Every member and friend of this organization can do something just at this time for this cause. You can go out on the highways and byways and enroll members into the organization. You can go forth organizing a Division or Chapter of the organization in your district, town or city. You can go forth collecting for the African Redemption Fund, or the Convention Fund, sending in your support to headquarters, so as to enable us to put over the bigger program, upon which we depend for racial success and salvation. Every division, member and friend of this organization must do something just at this time to push the work along. Divisions and officers should send in their reports monthly. Members should attend their meetings regularly, and friends should seek to know more about the great organization by joining its ranks everywhere. Takes Roscoe Conklin Simmons to Task For Swinelike Liberian Argument "Can You Imagine," Writes J Jackson Tilford, "A Negro Writing in the 'World's Greatest Weekly' (?) Discouraging Self-Determination Among Negro People, and Teaching a Slave Psychology?" Now we are to another great states man and a leader of life, a governor Hudsonian who once said It is not every man that we are honestly advise us deserves one of the country. To these we are parents to live and are their children to be as useful ants and lacewe we will say stay where we are we have no matter tres to em. ory u To the old man here we said so foolish we would say later aming the flesh pots of Egypt here we get our bread by the sea for food To drums and drummers we would say some a never can be some are筑ed in a land where there are no going shoes and where temper- ure is the motto To the timorous and suspicious we would say stay where we have protectors here we protect ourselves. But the industrious entertaining and patriotic of whatever occupation or enterprise the mechanic the merchant, the farmer and especially the latter we would counsel advise and entreat to come over and be one with us, in this gorious enterprise, and enjoy with us that to which we ever were and to which the man of color ever must be a stranger in America. Simmons would have these courageous, independent unshacked free-spirited Liberians to come back to the United States, and be contented as house servants, Pullman porters, boot-blacks, janitors and lackeys for their white folks" (as he likes to mention, give up their effort of self-0 know the nation and national sovereignty that have them come back and live in the shadow of the hangman's rope, the flaming torch of the knights of the Klu Klux Klan, in the environment of social ostracism, Jim Orow cars and segregation, an ominous condition which they were fortunate to escape from by the help of free Negroes and the American Colonization Society of 1821, who desired to get the free Negroes away from the slave Negroes to offset a difficult situation that would have existed with some Negroes free and some in bondage. The writer firmly believes if some of these Negroes who went to Liberia, who know how to be free and to feel free, had stayed in America part of the one hundred years that they spent in Liberia, and taught these Negroes they left behind how to be free and feel like free men, (harvey would not have so much trouble finding real Negro manhood among the Negroes of the States today Thinking Negroes and the best minds of the Negro race have not and will not abandon hope of a greater success for the little black republic on the west coast of Africa because of spineless, weakling bootlegging philosophy coming from the tongue and tip of one who is out of tune with the highest aspiration of the Negro people The Negro will not be ungrateful nor disloyal to the pioneers of Liberia for there on the west coast of Africa, the wilderness to which these Negroes went but yesterdays) in ignorance, want and homeless, they have built towns, homes and villages churches, colleges and enterprises, established government, written their declaration of independence turned out their presidents, diplomats, statemen professors, soldiers and scientists, and formed a republic, recognized by the leading powers of the world, and matched their wits and intelligence with such diplomats as Lloyd George, Polnaira, Clemenceau, Briand, Balfour, Hughes, Wilson and Harding, and have been able to maintain their independence and sovereignty for these one hundred years, an accomplishment well worthy of note. Liberia some day may be the workshop for all we have learned here in touch with modern industry, the start that has been so well made in Liberia may some day be likened unto the start that was made in Jamaetown, Va., by Capt. John Smith, some three hundred and twenty-two years ago, and with the help of the American Negroes through the agency of the U. N. I. A. Liberia may some day be the New York city of the United States of Africa. It is the animal with the long ears after having drunk that kicks over the bucket, showing the height of ingratitude. But Negroes with intelligence will not be guilty of saying or doing anything that might kick over the bucket in Liberia, from which some day in the near future they may take a very invigorating drink. Lap and tongue philosophy is a very serious menace to the race, these philosophers have no interest other than crowded churches, halls and box office receptacles, no definite purpose, and no program with the exception of the handhill and BY J JACKSON TILFORD Roscoe Simmons Chicago Defender speaking of the loan, says "What will Liberia do with the money? Of course salaries must be looked after. Then orders and walks will be built. A good road two might be attained, the good wharf might be built. A half a half dozen or so buildings together will one day be would be in order. Simmons further states. The use to which this matter would be to buy all the Liberians blanket ticket to come to U S A. home of their foolish fathers who were led off a century ago and of mouth reformers It is a curious thing that a man as intelligent as Simmons is supposed to be does not know enough to avoid making his self-righteous to a serious misting and intelligent pass. If an expression was really taken seriously, what would Librarians have to gain in pulling up stakes and journeying back to the United States by the thousands and throwing themselves on the battlefield of unemployment in competition with the millions of idle men already walking the streets day and night seek jobs? This foolish talk sounds as the false accusation that has been directed against the L. N. A. Simmona that the L. N. A. is advising all Negroes to see out and go back to Africa. Simmons infers, by such a remark that Liberia is a failure because and has not adopted western civilization in its entirety, of our white folks his favorite expression), the civilization of economic warfare, skyscrapers, steamships, rapid locomotion and communication, industrialism, inane asylums, jails, penitentiaries, surcides flapperism and the like. But he forgets that the thirteenth o. ginal colonies, after a century of development, were not much further along, comparatively speaking, than Liberia, even though they had millions of slaves to do their work, and the lack of allowance from sister nations of a mother country. bellis has been just one hundred years since it was founded, and since World War II no leader, fly of August雅斯特, reached their new home. One hundred years is but a day in the life of a reco or nation, and because Liberia has not reached the status of modern industrial and economic development, that the United States has under favorable conditions in three hundred years, is no fair reason why any Negro should look upon the little black republic as a failure. Japan was slow in adopting western civilization and reaching the status of a world economic power. Er peror Jimmu Tenno founded the Empire of Japan in 600 B. C., and not until 1870 do we hear of Japan becoming a recognized power of the world, a span of some twenty-five hundred years. Uncle Sam was responsible for the opening of Japan to the outside world and for bringing them in touch with Western and modern civilization. You will remember in 1853 Commodore Perry's American squadron visited Japan and demanded that she should be opened to American intercourse. Japan bitterly opposed this. But in the following year the American envoy made another visit to Japan and did not intend on this visit to be turned down. They went fully prepared to force Japan to accept a trade agreement, and Japan realized that she could no longer safely exclude herself from the outside world and she agreed, and in 1854 opened her gates to foreign trade and intercourse. In 1856 the first American consul was sent to Japan and the first commercial treaty was signed and this brought Japan in constant touch with modern civilization, and you know the results. Every race nation and government reaches its turning point in life and this little turn of affairs in the life of Japan, together with her intelligence and courage has made her one of the great powers of the world. Liberia's Turning Point Some day the Black Star Line may sail into Liberia and push her up into modern industrialism and modern civilization. Just as Perry's American ambition did in the case of Japan. Liberia will reach her turning point soon and because of this fact we will not allow ourselves to be ungrateful to the pioneers who made that start on the west coast of Africa, and when we hear such foolish prattle coming from a writer who lacks vision and knowledge and does not appreciate racial initiative it calls up to our mind what Goldsmith once wrote: "People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy after." If Ellmons had reach the thought and known the spirit of these early Niger settlers in Liberia, as well and understandingly as he has read "our white folks" (with apologies to Mr.ommons) he would not be so apt to make such foolish remarks as we have read above.

H MALONEY A group of literates just half a century ago today the Negro race in America has attained a high average of literacy. Of the masses that is true, nor is there any shortage of intensive culture amongst the fortunate elite. We have men of light and learning productive scholars who would stand at no disadvantage when compared with the brightest intellects of the day anywhere. The chances for reducing literacy under a democratic form of government are great. In fact, it is of a piece with democracy to foster popular learning. Our school advantages in some parts of the land are good in others they are miserable. Indeed, it is true that we are educating ourselves in some instances. In spite of adverse circumstances and studied policies of curtailment. We are assimilating it from the very atmosphere. So our advancement, intellectually cannot be arrested even though democracy should try to defeat itself by damning up the stream. But literacy carries with it culture and refinement. When a man is properly trained he can sit amongst kings and be perfectly at ease. He can be well poised in any gathering, he can feel at home in any association on all occasions. But the culture of which we speak that which differentiates a gentleman from a man—sherpens his sensibilities and keeps the chords of his soul to a high pitch. An ordinary man can withstand the shock of arbitrary discrimination far more easily than can a man of high refinement. So that the higher one ascends the heights of culture the more keenly does one feel the effect of economic strangulation, the blocking of lofter public ambitions the sting of the thousand and one social and personal alights. Here, then, is a vicious paradox Willy nilly we must advance. The strength of prevailing sentiment cannot stop us if it tried nor can we ourselves stand still if we would. The presence of the race in America assures for it constant cultural reaches forward and upward—progressive refinement of the soul. But tragedy of tragedies, the purer our refinement the sharper our sensibilities the loftier our souls, the more hideous, vulgar rude, nauseating do we feel the conditions imposed upon us to be. For example, refusal to sell sleeping car accommodations to a Charlotte Hawkins Brown or an A. Le Roy Locke while they are making a long, tiresome trip goes harder with them than does the same refusal to Tom, Dick and Harry. An insulting remark from a contemptible cur of a white liberty to a colored lady cuts a deeper wound than the same remark from the same person addressed to a law creature encountered on the street. Or, to take a few positive instances: The consciousness that a colored minister in the interracial churches can never fire his am TWO WHITE MEN HELD IN TEXAS JAIL IN CONNECTION WITH MURDER FOR WHICH MOB.BURNED THREE NEGROES Texas Mob of Men and Women Mutilate and Burn Negroes in Front of Church May 8, 1985. On the same day that the mob killed women and children had burned three Negroes at the stake, known for the murder of a seventeen-year-old white woman whose multitotal body was found near the last Thursday, the leading from the scene of the murder to the home of two white brothers and fitting the shoes they wore, were found by Sheriff May of this county.

Du Bois can never be a Henry Van Dyke James Woldon Johnson an Albert J Boveridge. Marcus Garvey a President Harding. And yet taken as individuals each of those Negroes is more competent to carry on than the corresponding white man in his given field. Few white men can appreciate the agony of the souls of black folk refined in the furnace of democracy as those souls face America. If the Negro were made of spiritual fibre similar to that out of which the American Indian is made, he would not only sing the song but he would do the thing declared in the words of the method: Before I will be a slave I will be buried in my grave And go home to my Lord And he free The Negro sings it to the Indian acts it. Maybe that is why the white American has the respect for the Indian that he does not have for the Negro. The Indian refuses to be cowed, refuses to suffer emasculation of his manhood. Death to him is more desirable than cringing subserviency. While the white man annihilates the Indian he has never lost his respect for him If the Negro were fashioned of the same clay, spiritually speaking, as the white American, he would turn syndicalist, anarchist, revolutionist, athlete he would kick and scratch, bite and fight and make things generally disgraceable until his end he attained. When the Negro shall have acquired good sense he will organise 100 per cent strong the world over; he will respond to every ennobling ideal he will repel every untoward obstacle and move forward as one solid phalang towards the goal of racial hegemony. But so long as he persists in being the Sambo of American life; so long as he lets his leaders lead him in a circle around the fool's paradise in which he lives, so long as he persists in being a parasite on this civilisation, a squatter on the preserves of others; too lazy to assemble his resources and strike out for effective, thoroughgoing governmental emanation, just so long will his body bleed, his heart ache and the desire of his soul be ravished.

The plot where the burning took place is in front of two churches. The first man burned sang "Lord I'm coming" as the flames enveloped him. He kept up his chant as long as he was able.

In the course of a rolling on the motion the speaker and that in import and now phase in the situation on the Rand and artifice and obligations had been made which to his mind were so serious and at the same time the image involved war in motion that he had no hesitation in allowing the motion. way we have dealt with the situation with extreme patience and forbearance. I think he only blams that can rest on the government is that it has been so strict. The government has been charged all through the proceeding, all while like some malice reptile for those people to come forward. It is just unpleasant. That has not been the attitude of the government. The government has given its parties a chance to come to a settlement and has done its best to make it law and order, but at the same time that the situation has changed on the Rand and that the military units are in allegiance and are defeated and that their place has been taken by the criminal and law One of the dangers said Mr. Merriman in the course of his remarks not just there but in to the whole of South Africa was that the statement of whom had been made that Khoo and Dutchmen were responsible would go to Europe and America.

I wonder what the reaction must be all over South Africa upon the native population. The old Dutch population has lived in close contact with the natives for hundreds of years and on the whole good feelings—friendship have been maintained to an extraordinary extent between them but I am very much afraid that from this coopulation in Johannesburg influences will go out which will poison the whole social life of South Africa, and that people—in innocent people—in South Africa may have to suffer for these dastardly acts of hooliganism in Ferreira Town Vrededorp and other parts.

SENATOR FRANCE'S PROPOSAL SOME time ago Senator Joseph I France of Maryland made a speech in which he urged the United States to liquidate the allied war debt by taking over the former German East African colonies. A few days later Dr Heinrich Schnee, former Governor of German East Africa, startled the world by his famous comment on it. Dr Schnee said "there is room for 50 000,000 colored people in Africa," and backed up Senator France's proposal That very week Marcus Garvey in his front-page feature letter interpreted it as "the real change on the part of prominent statesmen in their attitude on the African question." To those possessing a minimum of interest in Africa, the speech, Dr Schnee's comment on it, Marcus Garvey's interpretation of the whole business—meant nothing, absolutely nothing. Only those who possess the international outlook were able to grasp its vast political significance Others, on the other hand, objected to the proposal because it looked like segregation. In this connection we may—very appro- corriately—draw a parallel of the black South and the black North. Compare them industrially. Yes, there are lynchings and all that heart of thing, but the black people there in the South are a mighty unit. They hang together. They have got to. But coming back to our point. Senator France is not a Negro-hater. Long before his African debt speech he was a friend of the Negro. As a matter of fact, he owes his present seat in the Senate to the Negro voters of Maryland. This is not our boast. Senator France himself acknowledges it! But coming back to the African proposal Marcus Garvey is generally not regarded as much of a statesman. We are ignoring his multitudinous followers for the moment and addressing this to his critics, his severest critics. As a rule he is not given credit for anything. But let us be fair. Let us give justice to those who deserve it. Of the Negro leaders Garvey was the first and only one to tackle the Senator's proposal. Perhaps the others did not know about it. Now—we are coming to it—comes The Saturday Evening Post. America's greatest journal, with its 3,000,000 circulation, putting its stamp of approval on Senator France's eminent proposal. In the current issue it contains an editorial, "Bonds for African Lands," in which it says: "The speech of the Senator bristles with pertinent homilies 'Civilization is goods.' 'It is ethically right for us to extend the boundaries of civilization to Africa, and it is commercially wise to do so.' The bonus question is several times referred to in the address, and the reader makes the inference that homesteads might be carved out of these African lands. Finally, appeal is made to the missionary spirit of the country. "The link between evangelization and trade has seldom been more sympathetically described. 'Christianity is service, and service must be expressed in goods; so that it is particularly sound ethically and it is very wise commercially to do what I have suggested.' "What Germany might think of the matter is not stated. Nor is any intimation of the attitude of the ex-Aliens adduced. "We did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, so that we have never confirmed the legality of the transfer of these former German possessions. "Insular Americans who have only a hazy idea of the size and location of the former German possessions in Africa will proceed to study Africa when they take in Senator France's appraisal of the trade of these areas. And the attention of the Shipping Board and of the Department of Commerce is respectfully drawn to the matter 122 1442427 "According to the figures printed in the Congressional Record, in 1913 the imports into Togoland were valued at £531,000,000, the exports at £456,000,000. Converted into dollars, that would make a nifty addition to our declining foreign commerce. Surely there is little reason to search for bagatelles in Europe when a prize package in trade awaits us in Togoland." It only goes to prove that, despite all his shortcomings, real and imaginary, Marcus Garvey is a statesman—a statesman of the first water AMERICAN USURPATION IN HAITI FORMER Secretary of State Lansing in a letter to Senator McCormick rises to a belated defense of American usurpation in Haiti. German sailors were actually landed in Haiti during July of 1914, declares this august gentleman. The Monroe Doctrine had to be preserved and the guardian angels in the persons of American marines were compelled to take possession of the island in order to protect the poor Haitians from German aggression. the hands of the Germans over three thousand Haitian men, women and children were slaughtered by American marines. The details are well known to Negro World readers. Negroes are accused of having more than a keen sense of humor, but we are forced to enter protest against the length to which Mr Lansing presumes upon our credulity. He gives as one of the reasons for the usurpation "To terminate the appalling conditions of anarchy, savagery and oppression which had been prevalent in Haiti for decades, and to undertake the establishment of domestic peace in the republic in order that the great bulk of the population, who had been downtrodden by dictators and the innocent victims of repeated revolutions, should enjoy a prosperity and an economic and industrial development to which every people of an American nation are entitled." We are wondering now if Mr. Lansing ever heard of a place named Texas Has the gentleman ever heard of Georgia, Tennessee or Alabama? Perhaps not The situation he depicts here fits in so well with conditions obtaining in these States that at first glance we thought he had these places in mind. It may have been only a reflex action since it is hardly possible that Mr. Lansing had ever heard of conditions in these States, otherwise American marines would surely have been sent to "terminate the appalling conditions of anarchy, savagery and oppression" which are prevalent in these States But the Haitian people are black and only a few degrees removed from the defenselessness of the black people in those States Then, too, there was the Mole St Nicholas, which was of value to the United States. Why quibble about a little thing like Haitian sovereignty? Is not the United States a great and powerful and highly civilized nation? THE NEGRO GROCER ACROSS the street is a Negro grocer. I am black, and a consumer I love my race, love it passionately. I want to see it grow into a great industrial power. Owning ships and railroads and majestic skyscrapers I from groceries spring big things I decide to patronize my grocer I want to see my race prosper I go in. There is nothing offensive about the place. It is a regular grocery store. On the shelves are rows of tins of salmon and jars of marmalade and tempting preserves. The grocer is clean, alert and brownfaced. A hundred per cent new Negro. I adore the glitter in his eyes. It is a sign of belligerent upstandingness. I like it The apron he has on is spotlessly white. I like the general looks of things. High up on the walls is a sign, "If you don't see what you want, ask for it." I begin to order. "No-o!" the grocer mutters, "I don't think I've got any herrings left. I ordered some only yesterday and I haven't got 'em vet." "All right, I don't care for the things anyway. Friend asked me to get them for him. Have you got any mayonnaise? Give me a jar—a nice large one, please. No mayonnaise? That is all right. Give me a couple slices of ham—nice, fresh, let ham, please." "Sorry, but I am entirely out. I forgot to order a new supply. I guess I'll get it today. No, I haven't got any." "Well, let me see. Give me five pounds of sugar I've been trying—" "Seems as if I'm out of everything you want," smiles the grocer. "But it is this way, sir. Sugar is a thing I've got to buy in wholesale lots, and unless I buy in large quantities I'm unable to get it. Competition is so awful high. And you know what the small dealer is up against—big overhead, small profit, slow turnover. It doesn't pay to invest too heavily in any one line." I do not swear. I am ignorant of the technique of grocerying. I walk out. I go to the Jew next door. PLAIN BARBARISM Texas appears to glory in holding high the torch of American civilization. Texas glories in the chivalry and bravery of its men. Last week five hundred of them, with a mixture of women and children, mutated and burned three Negroes at the stake in "a deliberate and orderly manner," afterwards securing souvenirs from the charred remains. Texas is not Haiti where American marines are stationed with bayonets and guns to civilize the savage Haitians. Texas is in highly civilized America. Moreover, the men, women and children who took part in the cremation exercises are members of a highly civilized race. The Haitians had never lynched or burned a human being and are, naturally, without the pale of civilization. It was necessary to send a few of these highly civilized Americans, members of a highly civilized race, from Texas and other States, as highly civilized and wearing the uniform of the United States marines to bring them under the ennobling influence of civilization. Will the Haitians ever learn—to be civilized? The American press, too, glories in a much vaunted respectability. The Associated Press broadcast the report of the cremation exercises. The newspapers in turn carried big headlines, "Three Texas Negroes burned at stake by five hundred avengers." This did not even cause a ripple in the serenity of American civilization. Lynching and burning of Negroes is a common place. The newspapers, however, very carefully obscured a dispatch from Fairfield on the same day which stated: "Two white men are being held in jail here in connection with the killing of Eula Austlay at Kirwin for which three Negroes were burned there this morning, according to Sheriff Mayo. Tracks leading from the scene of the murder to the home of the two men—brothers—and fitting the shoes they wore, were found, Mayo said. One of the men was captured yesterday and the second surrendered at the jail after the mob left here last night with the Negroes." It may be that the mob came upon the three Negroes while searching for the murderers. The fact that they were black and had no rights Texans were bound to respect may have furnished conclusive evidence of their guilt. In the case of the two white men now in jail, the situation was quite different; there was no conclusive evidence of their guilt; the tracks only led to their home and only fitted the shoes they wore. Texans may glory in their bravery and the newspapers may call them avengers, but to us, burning human beings at the stake is nothing but plain barbarism. We wonder how long will these conditions obtain. The American people, Congress and the President seem indifferent to them. Perhaps the remedy will be found in Negroes making it a mighty expensive undertaking for them to be lynched and burned. What if others also were made to sing, "Lord, I am coming?" FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI For the seventh time since the declaration of the Chinese Republic by Dr. Sun Yat-Sen there has been a factional fight for supremacy in the much troubled Celestial Empire of the Manchus. General Wu Pei-Fu, Viceroy of Honan, has achieved a notable victory over his rival, General Chang Tso-Lin, outside the walls of Pekan, and the road to Tientsin is open to the sea. Wu Pei-Fu is an old protege of the wily Yuan Shib-Kai, who tried to make himself Emperor in 1913 after Sun Yat-Sen had surrendered the presidency of the new republic to Yuan. No doubt Yuan correctly sensed the psychology of his people for the reason that there is no word in Chinese for "president," and, having no doubt studied the methods of Napoleon, Yuan endeavored to arrive at the imperial throne by easy titles and stages until his calculations were upset by some of the reformers who did not share Yuan's progressive ideas in the direction of imperial rule. China's troubles are by no means ended by Wu's victory over Chang. He must first drive Chang Tso-Lin back to Mukden before he can hope to control the Central Government at Pekin. It is also to be feared that unless Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's efforts, in the direction of the unification of the various contending factions, are crowned with success, there will be little hope for stable government in China. Unstability must inevitably result in further bloodshed. Bloodshed and revolution would, of course, mean foreign intervention on the part of Japan as well as that of the European powers who, making internecine strife the excuse for "establishing order," would forthwith proceed to stake out claims for the adequate and systematic exploitation of the vast mineral resources of the country. It is to be hoped that the Chinese leaders will see the danger which threatens from without and range themselves alongside of Sun Yat-Sen before the Europeans will have had time to settle their differences turning their philanthropic attention to the internal settlement and "pacification" of China. The refusal of the Turkish Nationalist Government to recognize the mixed Judicial Commission, sitting at the Ministry of Justice in Constantinople, which deals with disputes between Allied and Ottoman subjects, revives the old question of the Capitulations. Under the Capitulations America and the European powers, both in Turkey and Egypt, were empowered by treaty to try their own nationals who offended either against Turkish law or against an Ottoman or Egyptian subject, in their own consular courts, not infrequently to the detriment of the oriental pleader. The idea that justice for a European was unobtainable in the courts of Turkey or Egypt is not only preposterous, but the underlying motive for the continuance of these extra territorial rights is intolerable to any self-respecting oriental government. The maintenance of these tribunals is, according to the European view, not only a proof of European superiority, but also strikes a blow at the prestige and sovereignty of the oriental State. Although the claim has been made, without any foundation in fact, that Oriental courts, especially those of Muslim origin, were corrupt, the European tribunals in Turkey and Egypt, with their extraordinary privileges, were the vehicles for the most glaring abuses. Only in very rare instances did the subjects of either of these countries obtain the justice they sought against European aggression. Perhaps the Greeks and Armenians were the chief offenders in this connection. It was not an uncommon occurrence for a Greek or Armenian to pose as a subject of Italy or even England if he wanted to advance his cause at the expense of the Turkish or Egyptian plaintiff. These courts have become a by-word throughout the Turkish Empire, and when it is borne in mind that such countries as Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, with their semi-barbarous populations, are enjoying freedom from these tantalizing judicial institutions, it is somewhat of an analogy that they should be maintained in the more advanced Turkish and Egyptian Governments. In Turkey the "Party of Union and Progress" abolished the Capitulations in the early days of the late war. In these days of so-called progress it is rather surprising to find the United States Government, when officially recognizing the independence of Egypt, reaffirming her right to maintain these same extra territorial rights on the banks of the Nile. Whilst Lloyd George is doing his utmost to avoid another explosion at the Genoa Gas Works, Tchitcherin is not only sitting tight, but has sent home sixteen of his secretaries and stenographers under the obvious assumption that the conference is at an end. Perhaps the most important pronouncement by Russia's representative at the conference is that in which he outlines the policy of the Soviet towards the United States. I have said all along that the Americans hold the key to the entire European economic situation and Tchitcherin's statement, published in the New York Herald of the 8th inst., proves that Russia at least is prepared to meet all rational American demands so that full official recognition may be given the Soviet Government and American money might be introduced for the purpose of developing the limitless resources of Russia. It is indeed true that American capitalists are rather shy on the question of Russian investments, but the fact that Russia is anxious to seriously consider pre-war American interests in Russia is a proof that the Soviet Government is prepared to go further in the direction of satisfying United States' pre-war claims than she is likely to accord to any of the European governments. This means that United States official recognition will result in American preferential treatment. Trade with Russia and the development of its resources is too important a consideration to be ignored by the American government or investor. Unfortunately the American trader is troubled by the "bogey" of European knowledge and experience in these foreign markets, but it should be borne in mind that Europe does not possess a monopoly in commercial or diplomatic brain; as a matter of fact, the late war and the subsequent "peace" negotiations and readjustments which are still dragging on should be abundant proof to the contrary. In the present instance the commercial greed of the contending factions at Genoa not only proves the intellectual incapacity of the European solons, but is likely to end in a complete eruption of the gas works. Meanwhile Italy officially denies the existence of a secret treaty with the Turkish Nationalist Government at Angora, and to prove her loyalty to the tause of Christian solidarity she is convining with Greece to dispose of Turkish territories without consulting Angora. For this reason the Nationalist Government has forbidden the entrance of Italian ships into Turkish Black Sea ports, as a result of the recent occupation of the towns of Sokla and Scala Nova in the Meander Valley in Asia Minor by Greek troops. But, the gem of news regarding Turkey comes from Genoa, where a superfluous paragraph has been inserted in clause 9 in the memorandum presented to the Russian delegates, which reads: "The Russia Soviet Government will use all its influence to assist in the restoration of peace in Asia Minor, and will adopt an attitude of strict neutrality between the belligerent parties." Foreign Minister Tchitcherin and his associates regard this paragraph as a distinct front and an attempt to regulate Russian foreign affairs. M. Tchitcherin says Russia made peace with the Angora Government and is on the best of terms with the Kemalist "If England will quit supporting Greece in its pretensions in Turkey there will be peace there," one Russian delegate exclaimed today in discussing the paragraph, "It is impudent" he said, "for the very powers which stirred up trouble in Constantinople and throughout Turkey to try to tell Russia to use her influence to restore peace in a country where they are encouraging war continually and are actually financing it." We hope that Mr. David Lloyd George, who has frequently and almost tearfully, protested that his government has never accorded any aid to Greece in her attempted aggression on Turkey, will at once proceed to make claim England's diplomatic intentions in the Near "What do you know of the ordinary art?" writes J. H. B. "After reading your article on epicurism I have a few observations to make to write. I dare you to print my letter in your column. Claiming that your mouth became watery through listening to the lady's story seems absurd. You must suffer from sterility. It is quite evident that you are not a Southerner. Possibly you do not know that every man, woman and child from below the Mason-Dixon line has these as a natural gift. There is our Aunt Gemma—Aunt Selina. What a background! What ancestry! I need not go any further to convince your of our just claims. Though I could, if need, name you many more of our folks who have attained the highest distinction possible along these lines. At the same time I fail to call to mind any from North or East who, even in a medicoe way, have attracted any attention—" In writing this article it was not our desire to arouse the ice of any one. We were as stated, conversing on the subject. Space fails us or we would use the whole of our correspondent's letter. We will simply use a part of it. With deep regret we have to admit that we are not a Southern. Still, that ought not to alter the case. A long other things we were taking cognizance of the personal touch being conveyed to the restaurants in Harlem and other places we have visited. Such as home-made this and that. We have a vivid memory. After eating of some of these "home-mades" a serious illness developed. Had not expert aid been called in we might probably have been in another world. If ever O. Henry's books are re-titled we would suggest that "Cabbages and Kings" be changed to read "Cabbages and Flashes." Then we should have immortalized two week days of our hum-drum existence. Their qualities from a nasal point of view cannot be denied. "Man," says a British scientist, "can have no fifty-fifty love. Though he may love one woman one-sixth, and twelve women one-twelfth." That may be clearing up the masculine part of it. But how many parts does the female of the species love? Rud Kipling has said: "The female of the species is deadlier than the male." "Don't you ever eat anything other than shrimp," asks L. O. W. A., "when ever you go into a chop suey joint? I'm sure they have other things on the b. of F. If I mistake not they have American dishes also. Your shrimp is becoming like the fisherman's regular summer story. Have you an antipathy to other things or are you using this food as a means of acquiring brains? I have heard of such things. Though, in my poor estimation, for grip, a whale, seems to be necessary." We overheard a conversation recently in which one gentleman claimed that his girl was so cross-eyed that when she cried the tears ran down her back. "So if the mountain won't come to Mahomet, Mahomet goes to it," says one of the papers in discussing the fact that Tchitcharin, the Russian delegate to Genoa, wears a top hat and outaway to dine with the Italian monarch. By the time the Daily News finishes its voting contest, and the promoters get through with their elimination contest to see who will fight Jack Dempsey, Harry Wills will be an old man. Or perhaps if I¹. Dempsey marries one of those Paris actresses, he may by then have a young Jack to Harry Wills, Jr. In the meantime some folks are voting for Jack Johnson! Can you beat it?

Gathered in the roiling room, chatting an laughing gayly and comparing their different attire, were those taking part in the procession. Beated at the piano was Mr. A. an. Fits Braithwaite, the treasurer and pianist and beside him the only president, Miss Inez Lewis who accompanied him with the violin. Precisely at 3 p.m. the signal that was struck on the instrument and immediately the procession started to the strains of Lead On Eternal Light! Leading the line of match were the juvenile girls, the first bearing the Union Jack, and following them were the juvenile bys, the leading one carrying the banner of the Red Black and Green Immediately behind them were the choir, led by its director, Mr Reginald Solomon, followed by the seventeen members of the choir, and following the choir were the officers arranged as follows. The president Mr Stanley Jones; vice-president Mr Thomas O'Neale; chaplain, Mr Reginal Peignac; the honorable directress of the African Black Cross Nurses of Trinidad and Tobago. Mrs. Louise Critchlow behind whom was the Hon Perival Loon Burrows, commissioner who garbled in a gold-fringed sash of Red, Black and Green, the official insignia of his office indeed looked the part, and bringing up the rear were the Black Cross Nurses seven in number, in full regalia. The procession wended its way around the hall three times slowly) the officers in the second round taking their places on the platform, remained standing until the completion of the procession, the choir taking its place on the extreme right, in front of which were seated the girl juveniles, the Black Cross Nurses taking their places on the extreme left of the platform, in front of which was also seated the boy juveniles, each having their respective flags to the extreme right and left of the parties. The meeting then opened in the usual way, presided over by the commissioner, with the singing of the ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" followed with prayer by the chaplain, after which the Scripture lesson for the afternoon was read, nineteenth chapter of Isaiah, beginning at the eighteenth verse. A selection was then rendered by the choir, "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and had the effect of bringing to the mind of the writer the seriousness of the ceremony we had gathered to perform. The commissioner then arose, and in a few words of welcome explained to the audience the necessity of deleting some of the items of the program, in view of the fact that we had many visitors from out-of-town districts who were desirous of taking the next train back to their respective places or homes, therefore announcing that the unveiling ceremony would take place immediately. Speech of Unveiling Ceremony Mr. President, Officers and Members. Friends and Visitors, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a pleasure, although a duty, to be with you this afternoon to assist you in this important and historical moment of your life, the ceremony of unveiling your charter. This is a memorable day in the history of all divisions, as it truly marks the chronological and statistical beginning of your life factor in this organization. It is pleasure that I look upon the named faces before me, seeing and reaing clearly in many of them a true manifestation of interest, which is the underlying element of an awakening. I am also truly glad to say, after listening to the brief historical recapitulation of your existence, it gives me pleasure to state, and that with a true feeling of delight and admiration, that you, the baby of Trinidad, will at no distant date be looked upon as the coming giant. I am glad to say that among the divisions in Trinidad this one stands high in my estimation, not because of its geographical position on the island, not because it is situated in the metropolis, and not because I am resident here, but because of its true loyalty to the principles, fundamentals, aims and objects of the Universal Negro improvement Association, which I shall, for the benefit of those not conversant with these principles, read the preamble of that organization. President Read and Explained 8. Therefore, now declare the charter of the Port-of-Spain Division duly opened and exposed to public gaze, which enhancement was received with great applause. Little Miss Nauma Treatwake, who was attired as an giltman queen, dressed in pure white, with a white coronet resting upon his little head, indeed looked the part, and at a given signal slowly pulled the cord, recurring to the hundreds of upturned faces, whose gaze was riveted upon these spots, and mingling whom there was not in a solid sidelife, faces betraying an amdity, which the writer has nares before seen in appreciation, as it was concerned by Marrero and of Negroes concerned with sometimes the most in- teresting of all the performances of theatrical works with prolonged up- .

I italic on behalf of this division and the association at large present the secretary the emblem of his office as a record of deeds requesting him to write fondly in bold letters the good that each one does and in still holder letters the evil of others. To the treasurer I present the keys, the emblem of his office as the custodian of this division's finances. To the chaplain the Holy Bible containing truths inspired concerning this race of ours. May it always continue to be our chart from this terrestrial hall to the glories of the celestial home. To the chairman of the Advisory Board, as the appalp president of this division, much depends upon your level-headedness. To the chairman of the Trustee Board I now refer as the guardian, the legal protector and watchdog of this division's property, yours is a very responsible position. To each department in turn, Choir, African Black Cross, Motor Corps, Juveniles and, last but not least, the African Legion, I charge the officers to justice and equity and the members to loyalty and obedience." Trump into consideration the fact that thee were visitors from the country who wanted to catch the next train to their homes the Commissioner gave them the chance to say something, and introduced in extremely cloquent terms the Honorable Directress of the African Black Cross, for the Colonies of Trinidad and Tobago, Mrs. Louise Critchlow, and then took his seat amid ringing applause. The lady introduced, Mrs. Louise Crichlow, is. in the writer's estimation, the most energetic lady of the cause in these islands, in fact, the most scalous I have ever met in my travels with the Commissioner. That her interest in the cause is intense she demonstrated by walking fourteen miles with the Commissioner to help him, remaining up until 3 o'clock sometimes, and doing her best to lesson his work. She is indeed worthy of the honor conferred upon her. She is not only worthy of it, but is capable of carrying out the duties that the office calls for, duly qualified as a very clear speaker, and the Commissioner has great reason to be proud of her, and more so as it is his first appointment in his official capacity in these islands. On being introduced Mrs. Crichlow rose amidst thundering applause, and, beginning in eloquent terms, expressed her pleasure at being in our midst, thanked the Commissioner for the honor conferred upon her and entored upon her subject by reciting the following verses to the Itbm Marcus Garvey. One we have there's not another. And if there is he's yet unseen But we know our Negro leader Lives above seclusion's screen. Search each crevice of our planet And produce one with such stuff. When he's gone we'll need another. Oh! he can never leave this earth. Ethiopia in sorrow! Ethiopia in grief! Ethiopia in travail, Garvey's born to bring release. May the elements receive him. And that to convince mortal men. Fight ahead, then, fearless Garvey. Friendless though you started out. You have brought home thought redamption. May Ethiopia and her travail He soon relieved of all her pain Through the advent of our leader And the Red, the Black, the Green. After a little comment on the fore- going verses Mrs. Crichlow, turning to the Black Cross Nurses, promised her whole-hearted support and expressing her regret on not being able to remain any longer, took her seat amidst ring- ing and proclaiming applause. The writer's impressions about this lady are such that he knows that he will never have cause to regret. He has never seen Lady Henriette Viston Davis, the International Organizer, but has read her speeches and has heard about her, and in his estimation, thinks Mrs. Crichlow is a valuable Henrietta THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 Vinton Davis* and he is as proud of her as he is of himself. The Commissioner then rose and commented in glowing terms upon the former speaker's work expressing his admiration for people of her stamp, wishing that others would take pattern and follow in the footsteps, because he has many other positions to be filled and in keeping his eyes open for the next one. The lady president of the Chaguanas Division was then introduced Mrs Isaac Hector who speaking for a short time and thinking the Commissioner for calling on her took her seat. The writer has every reason to believe that the Commissioner will never forget this lady who was the first lady to deliver to him a welcome address in the colony, and that extemporaneously. The president of the La Brea Division was then introduced Joshua Douglas was then presented to the audience. This gentleman is another energetic worker leaving La Brea to come down to Port of Spain running the risk of losing his train and boat which would have jeopardized his work. He spoke for a few moments and concluded by asking the people to wrap themselves in the red, Black and Green, and keep their eyes on the Honorable Marcus Garvey (Applause) Mr Joseph Charles of La Brea also was then introduced taking for his subject the necessity of launching business enterprises of our own which he asserts would tend to lesson the present condition of Negroes in general in the colony and wound up by asking them to pool their resources money energy for the successful carrying out of these plans (Applause) At this juncture the three aforementioned persons left in order to catch the train, among whom was the President of Rio Claro, who expressed his regret not being able to remain. The Commissioner then addressed the audience for a few minutes. in the course of which address he asked the people not to preach race-hatred as it was not right, or to preach against the churches, and finally announced a selection by the chief entitled, 'O Church of Christ,' which was very easily rendered in a solo, quartet, and quartet with obligata, accompanied by Miss Inez Lewis, violinist, and Mr Brathwaite, pianist, and was roundly applauded. The Commissioner having forgotten to introduce the Ethiopian Queen before, took this opportunity, and did so in fitting terms, and Miss Nauma Brathwaite bowing in acceptance of cheers given retired amidst ringing applause. A collection was taken while the choir sang a song entitled "Rejoice, Rejoice," which was justly sung and more lustily applauded. The President of the Chaguanas Division was then introduced and spoke for about five minutes. The Lady President of the Port-of-Spain Division was then called upon and spoke for a few minutes, welcoming all present and thanking the Miss for the flag presented to the division. The Secretary of the Chaguanas Division, Mr. Isaac Hector, was then introduced and spoke creditably for a few minutes. Mr Howard Bishop, Jr., was then presented to the audience in eloquent terms by the Commissioner, and amidst great cheers Mr Bishop rose. It may be of interest to state that this gentleman is an officer of the Trinidad Workingmen's Association, one of the leading associations in the island today, and is indeed worthy of credit. Mr. *shop* took his stand amidst great cheers and began to speak. The trend of the speaker's words was mostly of an appealing nature, in which he asked the people to look at themselves and their true position and asked them to unite, showing them the ultimate result of unity among Negroes and closing his address with these lines: Till the war-drums throb no longer. Till the battle-flags are furred. In the Parliament of Nations. The Confederation of the World. He took his seat amidst repeated applause. Mr. Thompson, a non-member, but a very influential person in his district, was then presented to the audience and, standing amidst loud cheers, spoke for some time, explaining his reason for not being an active member up to that time. By way of conclusion, he asked that the Secretary take his name and address as an active member from then on. (Applause.) The Lady President, Miss Ina Lewis, then rendered a violin solo, accompanied by Mr. Brathwaite, which was nicely played and loudly applauded. Mr. Hercules was then called upon, and acquitted himself admirably. Mr. Fletcher was then called upon and, after speaking for some time in an eloquent manner, wound up by quoting the following lines: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us the memories of time. He was loudly applauded. At this juncture the Commissioner announced to the house that Mr. Herman D. A. Thompson, formerly local organiser for the Colony of Trinidad and Tobago, is no longer connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. Thomas O'Neale, Vice-President, on being called upon, addressed the audience for a few minutes. Mr. Carter then rendered a solo entitled, "When the Soul Draws Near to God," in a soft, sweet voice, which had a telling effect. This item brought the program to a close, and a vote of thanks was moved by the Commissioners and seconded by the President, Mr. Jones. The recreational hymn was then sung; and in the same order of march the various units proceeded to the robing room. The Ethiopian anthem was then LISTEN!

CG West 135th St., N. Y. C. Advertising Department THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE IN KENYA To the Editor of the Manchester. Guardian: Gir-The important thing about the native ferment in British East Africa is not the means employed for its suppression, which is merely incidental, but the cause. Especially is this so to those engaged in the staple industry of Lancashire and at the present time. The general impoverishment of the native community by the confiscation of their cultivated and cultivatable lands and the imposition of hut and head taxes is the settled policy in operation in Kenya, against which the Kikuyu are protesting, and rightly protecting, in the only manner open to them. Perhaps the largest potential market for Lanashire products is the African continent, but unfortunately wherever we look we find the economic status of the native elements being undermined for the supposed benefit of local Europeans. Happy and contented communities are thus transformed by stages into a state of sullen serfdom without enterprise and without hope. To protest in the native territory against the wrong whilst it being committed is dubbed "sedition" and treated accordingly. We who are free from such a menace should raise our protest, not on behalf of the dead Negroes but for living ones, to put an end to the wrong by which they are being reduced to a permanent condition of serfdom under the British flag.

ONLY NEGRO JAZZ PLEASES PARIS French Musicians, in Depaill, Offer to Use Motor Horns, but Don't Get Jobs PARIS April 26 - To boot the jazz band out of France is the latest task Premiere Polincare has been asked to undertake by a committee of the Municipal Council, Inspired by a large number of French musicians who complain of being driven out of employment by the colored jazz men. Many would gladly cast aside the violin and flutes with which they who first prizes as virtuosa at the National Conservatory and do the jazzing themselves with bangie motorcar horn or any other instrument of moral torque to their own artistic temperament. But their offers are scorned by restaurant and dancing hall managers, who tell them 'Call again when you have changed the color of your skin.' Musicians call it the "Black Peril" French musicians complain too that jass has brought with it a certain kind of music and the public will listen to no other French compositions have been ousted by those imported from America. A "Salon of French Musicians" has been forged to popularize the works of French composers. Concerts are given at the Paris Conservatory and elsewhere at which composers play their own compositions Senator Borah Raps "Altruistic" America for Imperialism in Hayti At Carnogie Hall Mass Meeting Crowds Cheer Idaho Senator as Charge Upon Charge Is Made Against Uncle Sam's Tyranny in Black Republic Altruistic liberty loving America, supposedly the friend and protector of the weak is now engaged in oppressing the weak torturing them and robbing them of their liberties and all for the sake of material gain for covetous Americans. L. the opinion William L. Botah L. United States Senator from Idaho has gained from his study of the American occupation of Havt and Santa Dominga since 1915. He talked at a mass meeting in Carriage Hall the other night held by the Haiti Bounty Domingo Independence Movement in Loma Mirafalf presiding. The hall was filled with men and women who frequently appeared the Senator a demonstration of the latter day, importance of the United States and some of whom eluded out such questions as how about Ireland too? and Why does the President speak Justice Give these people the liberties.

He and he wrongs that kingdom is seized for immitting into India and Japan and they are out the sort of war right this nation is going to in the Caribbean islands and the latter is unfamiliar. His Plea Cheered For our ownakes as well as for the akes of those countries I say we ought to get out of it. Santa Domingo and every other place that doesn't belong to us the Dahoe Senator said. This sentiment provoked the leader of the evening. We have destroyed the governments of Santa Domingo and Haslah, the Senator declared. We have killed their people not by hundreds but by thousands. We have subdued their governments a military government. We have drawn their best public men to action and put men in their places who agree in advance to do the bidding of the military authorities. We have forced and are forcing upon them large debts and at an exorbitant price for commissions and take offs and interest. We are now urging them to accept still larger debts, debts which they declare they do not ant, do not need and will never be able to pay. "We have compiled them to rewrite their constitutions so that men of wealth may go in and buy up for a song their fertile lands and exploit the small holders. We have already destroyed the press and have abolished free speech. We have imprisoned and punished those who have been brave enough to protest. These things we have done in the face of our solitary pledge to do the very opposite. "Twice within the last five years five great nations have met in the name of peace and pre-merged to the world their love of liberty their devotion to righteousness. They have written leagues and medal and made promises. But the people now ask for feud not words, not notes or promises. Look at France in Syria. Great Britain in Mesopotamia, Japan in Siberia, and the United States our own republic in Hawaii and San Domingo oppressing people over whom they have no right to rule military governments for people whose life they have taken away imprisoning men for no other crime than during to stand up for the librity of their people and the independence of their nation shooting men for no other offense than repeating the words which immortalized James Otto and Thomas Jefferson.

Cable Preceded Occupation Mr. Marshas, in the office of the first to be presage, was not the�tary of the Navy. Darcy sent Hear Admiral Capel on November 10, 12, and taking the Admiral to the Hispani Tread, and Tabner that the treats were the United States would be at the.

Nor was it safe as the place of his life. Of the reasons of his appearance he never was the United States in danger of buffering him. (See as the Hay, and parliament was tried.) Eo I Good. Labor Cheap But I forget, Lord Chapman, that one of these was a rite, that I had to be in the bad at 20 to 3 a da. It is strange ow the know lick that a pleasure was in that for us. It is the a new dream to raise that people. He has gone not nor to the face of God or great Britain into Mesopotamia for anything but that Hosea Japan goes into Liberia for anything but material wealth. And so we are in Hayat. If it were not for her vast natural resources I venture the opinion we would not be in Hayat 15h.gmt. One of the greatest of our offenses, the Senator said was the withdrawal from the Haitian constitution of a provision that had stood for 111 years prohibiting ownership of property in Haiti by an alien. That enabled Americans to take 20,000 acres of flint Haiti, like so, and the Senator by the gentlemen operated to invade Haiti. Small and owners have been dispossessed. We have neglected a $250,000 loan for Haiti, we have not somebody $25,000 to negotiate with the Haiti, we are all declare that they don't want. Now we are taking about $50,000 more. The group in Washington was reported by the Senator as saying that the island was needed for the security of our coastline. I never despite the Four Power Treaty he remarked. Another group said the Haytans could govern themselves. It may be true that they can't according to our idea of what constitutes govern- 3 ment but they have the right to work out their own salvation, he said. It was while he was picturing the evils of military control that a woman in a balcony called out "Why don't the President speak." He has said Senator Borah, and in a moment I read what he says, but he forgot to do this. "I don't care who is responsible for that role. However high he is placed he is a disgrace to the American people he said of a regulation for budding Hejans to speak in mass meetings. Reads Evidence of Cruelty He cited several cases of cruelty from the record of the Senate Committee which went to Haiti and Santo Domingo. One of them was that of Bader Pierre of St Marc Haiti who swore that in the presence of two wives and at the hands of Captain Fitzgerald Brown, of the American controlled gendarmarie at St Marc he was strung up for the days from the rafters of a prison without water that his teeth were broken and hot water poured into his mouth through a funnel after which he was turned with a hot iron. They say this was not the work of Brown, but of some managers who were being utilized by the forces. But it was Brown" said Benjamin Iliam. "The evidence shows that it was. If there was another side it was not presented. That is the kind of say agent that was being practiced at a time when we were saving us, preserving law and order in Haiti. If we can protect these people better than that lets get out of there I am asked. How can the United States Marine such things? It is the story of imperialism all through history, bend out the most humane man to govern a subject people by military force and makes a brute out of him. It is the mission they are sent on that constitutes our boys. They would not do these things if they did not believe that the mission itself was of force and brutality. And surely it does not being to our principles of government to undertake to govern another people by force." Torture of Native Alleged Another case he summoned from the Senate committees record was that of three men who, according to Volunteer a merchant of St. Mary were subjected to shock from an electric current, conveyed from a telephone at over a wire tied to their teeth until the supervision of Captain Brown whereupon they admitted that they had murdered a watchman, which they had previously denied. That is the way we administer the aim in Haytt remarked Senator Borah. He said politics cut no figure the Democrats went into Haytt and two stayed there. In his judgment, the cry of the world for peace is futile until strong government and people are willing to do justice to the weak and dependent. Somehow there always arises a power he adds after warning his country, men of the lesson to be learned from history. How about West Virginia?" an interrupter shouted. If West Virginia demonstrates anything it is the fact that we ought to stay at home and attend to our own business," the speaker answered. Senator Borah said he depended upon organized public opinion to force our government to redress the wrong of the island people. CONTEMPORARY COMMENTS We hold no brief for Marcus Garvey or the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No publication in America has given such a painstaking analysis of the good points and the bad points of Garvey and his movement as the Meagenger. The article in the September, 1921, Messenger, by A Philip Randolph, is easily the masterpiece on the Garvey movement. Nevertheless we oppose unfair tactics, such as the recent attacks upon Garvey's nativity by Roscoe Conkling Simmons in the Chicago Defender. The merits and demerits of Garveyism are not lessened or increased because he is a West Indian. Nor is it any sensible argument to say. If Garvey doesn't like this country, let him go to Jamaica where he came from. It would be just as logical to say. If Randolph doesn't like segregation in New York, let him go back to Florida where he came from. If DuBois doesn't like the Ku Klux Klan in New York, let him go back to Atlanta University. If Kelly Miller doesn't like the film of Maryland, let him go back to South Carolina where he came from. If Robert Bagnall doesn't like him, he's also coming to Virginia. If Owen doesn't like the reluctant service in Child's Re taurant, let him go back to North Carolina. If Pickens doesn't like segregated schools in Kansas or St. Louis, let him go back to Alabama. If James Weldon Johnson is not satisfied with everything in the North and West, let him go back to Florida. All such argument (it can be dignified by that name) is petty, cheap, vapid, etteite. A man has a right and a duty to fight to improve conditions wherever he is. He has a right to fight to improve not only his home, but any other home he may be able to help. If a Negro is in Georgia and the hill bollies, instigated by silk-gloved respectable citizens," decide to lynch him, he is simply a "Nigger" whether he comes from Georgia or Georgetown. British Guiana. They care nothing whether he is from Jamaica or Florida, Trinidad or Tennessee. St. Kitts or Mississippi, Barabdos or Alabama. All Negroes, wherever they are born, suffer from common prescriptions, wanton narrowing of opportunities, segregation, discrimination, Jim Crow cars, laws against intermarriage. Race and color determine the classification—not the place of birth. In spite of all this, Garvey has done much good work in putting into many Negroes a backbone where for years they have had only a wishbone. He has stimulated race pride. He has instilled a feeling into Negroes that they are as good as anbody else. He has criticized the hat in mind Negro leadership. He has inspired an interest in Negro traditions, Negro history, Negro literature, Negro art and culture. He has stressed the international aspect of the Negro problem. If so, American Negroes are to attack Garveyism, don't like the Messenger editions. Be fair. Don't appeal to nationality—that patriotism which Dr. Johnson called "the last refuge of a scoundrel." The West Indians are among the foremost fighters in all cities for rights. They are assiduous workers, vigorous fighters, diligent and abl Let Roscoe Conkling Simmons meet Garvey on a fair field! It is Robert G. Ingersoll who once said "I like black friends better than I do white enemies." So we like West Indian friends better than we do native Negro enemies. We have heard too much talk about West Indian intolerance. We take no stock in this argument. Rather, we regard it as "a little barrack behind which mental impotency hides when it cannot answer logic." The Messenger THE TEXAS LYNCHING The lynching of three Negroes by a mob of 500 men at Kirvin leaves Texas no defense. It was not only a deliberate crime, it was plain barbarism. There will be, of course, the usual efforts to excuse the people of Kirvin for burning the Negroes at the stake by pleading that in the circumstances they were excusable. Mob murder cannot be justified. But in the end, what will the community of Kirvin do for the vindication of the law? Will it shield the leaders in the perpetration of this horror and save them from punishment? It must know that tolerance of lynching breeds lawlessness, and that by it Texas stands degrated in the eyes of the world.—The New York World Surgeon-General's Office Higher, fever otherwise known as hay asthma summer catarach and autumn catarach means a peculiar inflammatory condition of the mucous membrane of the eye pore and air passages, which year after year affects certain individuals from the middle of May until the latter part of September. This malady seems to a certain extent to run in families, hereditary playing a part in about 33 per cent of the cases, according to various authorities. It is seen more often in men than in women and seems especially to affect persons of active temperament and high mental development. It sometimes may be associated with gout. Some have tried to trace the presence of hay fever to structural defects in the nose, but if even these be present they have probably little to do with the malady. The popular idea, which has long attributed attacks of hay fever to the pollen from hay fields, has been shown to be correct, though behind this there must be some predisposing constitutional cause that renders some persons liable to attacks while the majority of people are quite immune. The old theory that the inflammation results from the pollen sending down its pollen tubes into the mucous membrane of the nose and throat is now known to be correct, the cause being in all probability almost always poisonous substance or toxine contained in the pollen. A toxine capable of producing hay fever has been found in the pollen of over 180 different grasses and several other plants. This toxine can be extracted by means of water and alcohol, and when applied to the mucous membrane of the nose of susceptible people brings on quickly an attack of the disease. More than this, Dunbar has, by infecting the toxine into sheep, goats and other animals, obtained an antitoxic which is sometimes capable of preventing or of curing these attacks. Symptoms - it begins with an itching of the eyes and nose, followed by symptoms of a severe cold or influenza, such as headache, violent sneezing and profuse watery discharge from the eyes and nose, together with a dry, hard cough and occasionally severe asthmatic paroxysms. The attack usually runs a course of several weeks, and, in addition to making the person miserable or even incapacitating him for work while they last, repeated attacks may lay the foundation for serious chest disease. If rainy weather comes on the symptoms may abate and susceptible persons who remove at such time, when the malady is about to recur, to the seaside or place where vegetation is scantly rarely suffer. Treatment a sea voyage seems to be the best BISHOP OF LIBERIA BRINGS PLEA FOR LOAN Rt Rev Walter H. Overs Pears British Enroachment Unless We Advance $8,000,000 Bringing an earnest plea from the people of Liberia that the proposed loan of $5,000,000 from the United States to that country be put through without further delay, the Right Rev Walter H Overs, Episcopal Bishop of the Missionary Province of Liberia, Africa, arrived here Saturday, May 6 "It is greatly to be hoped that nothing will prevent the loan from being granted speedily, as American influence at the present time is very essential to the development of the Republic of Liberia as an African Government," said Bishop Overs, who is a white man. "There are great possibilities in Liberia, and if Americans do not take advantage of them the English will," he continued. "It is to be feared Liberia will turn if this proposed loan is not made. "It is intended to use the whole sum for the improvement of the republic. This means good roads, better schools, and enlarged and improved hospitals; but good roads particularly, since it is through them that the hardwood and rubber resources of the republic can be made available and the coffee, cocoa, tropical fruit and palm oil industries renewed and improved." Bishop Overs said that one of the great advantages of the loan would be that it would send to Liberia a group of twenty or thirty American experts in financial and industrial lines who would administer the loan and assist in the developments to which the loan is to be applied. The home of Bishop Overs is at Jamestown, N. Y. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MAY 13. 1022 To the Editor of the Negro World.—Sir.—As a member of the U. N. L. A. I consider it my duty to remit to you certain articles which have appeared in the Maphooster Guardian re the kenya disturbance. As I am already aware of our Provisional Presidents protest to the British premier against the wanton murder of the defenseless natives of British East Africa. I presume the articles enclosed will throw a great deal of enlightenment as to how the British public took the aid occurrence. Personally, as a resident in England for a considerable period and keen observer of British policy towards their Negro subjects, I am convinced that the natives were merely exercising constitutional rights and in no way preaching sedition In concluding I am positive that after these articles are read they will give our leaders a greater prestige in vindicating the cause of our race, and help to soften the hearts of unbelievers Yours most obediently J B MORRIS 82 St Ducie St H ways Manchester, England, April 23 1922 AN OPEN LETTER TO ELIMINI- IANS ABROAD Taken from The Gold Coast Leader. Countryman: I know that you have the same feelings as the writer towards your country but feelings are nothing unless they are shown in concrete form. Boattered all about, as we are, it seems an impossible thing to arrive at any definite decision of any one point. I venture to make a suggestion. Let all Eliminians in any one town form themselves into a separate group and think of something essential for the good of Elimina. Let us have for our immediate attention, for instance, the question of a sea wall from Bumany- ikyew to Sybil. Every Eliminian knows the position, and let them think out the best way to stop further erosion by the sea. Having decided, and if it involves a question of money let them collect same among themselves and bank it, and submit宅 the result of their efforts. Letters will come from all parts of the country, from all parts of the world where there are Eliminists, to the Oman, and the question of how to build or not to build a seawell by ourselves, as the embankment protecting Kwesi 'Nestin and Stoove's houses was built by one Eliminian, could be decided by those who now are our national rulers. Yours very sincerely. SIR CONAN DOYLE Editor Serge Ward I do not intend to add to or take away from your editorial on Sir Conan Doyle, but permit me to say this much: The mere fact that Sir Conan Doyle cherished the idea that the Negro is incapable of self-determination and is fearful, under those conditions, of our gaining control of the former German colonies, is enough proof of his ability to better deal with spirits and the spirit world than a fair knowledge of the New Negro attitude since the recent World War Pointing to Haiti and Liberia as examples is not sufficient proof of the correctness of his argument, as everyone knows that these two countries are being isolated, and that a nation must have the cooperation of other nations or the interest of her outside people in order to make the greatest success. Herefore the Negro has had no national aspirations. Divided as we are among the different nations, we felt ourselves just as much citizens and subjects of the respective countries as anyone else. We were taught such creeds as "Submit yourselves to all your masters, superiors and better," while on the other hand, they worked overtime as they usually do with each other, trying to freeze the little Negro republics out of existence. Even now, while we are trying to give them a helping hand through the U. N. I. A., an invisible power is still at work to keep us apart Because a thing has not been done is not sufficient proof that it cannot be done, even if one tries and fails, as one's ability to do tries only in the time it takes to accomplish the job. Give the New Negro a free spot in Africa and a fair chance, and in a short space of time we will make Sir Conan Doyle and the world slap themselves in the face, saying, "What poor fools we mortals were." Yours very truly, R. H.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Up to date, Hon. Marcus Garvey has covered a little over 18,000 miles by rail and steamer in his travels in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His name and work are known in every country of the world, English, Dutch, French, German, African, Spanish, Italian and Scandinavian newspapers have discussed him and the Universal Negro Improvement Association movement favorably and unfavorably and like 'Little Johnny Walker,' he is still going some He left yesterday for an extended tour of the Pacific Coast and expects to be absent about eight weeks, speaking in the interest of the forthcoming Convention in August. Mr Garvey is an engragh to his critics who seem to be dased and befuddled somewhat by the case with which he shatters their deep laid plans to embarrass him. He cannot be embarrassed by fair means. He is working aboveboard and in the open. Home men love darkness, because their deeds are evil. The evil-hearted geniuses who are digging pits for Marcus Garvey had better look out that they do not fall into them themselves. Remember the fate of Haman. Several days before the signing of the armistice, so the story goes, there were massed about the forts of Mets some 200,000 black and colored troops for purposes of attack. These forts had been mine 1 by the Germans, and were to be blown up if attacked by the Allied forces rather than a surrender. The toll of death would, in consequence, have been frightful—appalling The Allies it seems had been informed in some manner that these forts had been mined, and so had chosen black and colored troops to be the recipients of the honors (*) which the Germans were reserving for their white European enemies. Secretary Baker is said to have ordered all the available American Negro units to this feast of death and the poor boohes imagined this to be a tribute to their fighting qualities. The white troops were to be held back until after the explosion and all Negroes were either killed or wounded, and then take possession of what was left of the forts. The Germans seem to have realized what was brewing. The armistice was fortunately signed on the day before the attack upon these forts was made Patronize Your Own Fellow Members of the Negro Race: 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 UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY Wet and finished laundry work done by competent hands.

And now for the sacrifice to build a race. Will you not walk a little further than where you used to deal so as to patronize your own industries? 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. THE ABOVE INDUSTRIES ARE RUN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE Department of Labor and Industry of the Universal Race Thus these 800,000 Negro troops were saved from horrible deaths at the hands of Germany. And now the Allies are in a death struggle at Genoa to save a civilization (?) that put in jeopardy the lives of 800,000 black men, fighting the white mans battles, and for what? Australia, an Antipodean Colony of Great Britain, which was settled over a century ago by horse thieves, murderers and other undesirable whose presence in England was objectionable to the respectable element in that country, has for some time strenuously insisted that no black or colored races shall be permitted to share the country with the white inhabitants and that the slogan, "in white Australia," shall be a warning to all darker races to keep out. It is now not so certain that "a white Australia" is going to be a possibility. With a population (white) of a little over 4,000,000 in a territory 2,000 miles by 3,000 miles, there is a fine opportunity for the denizens of this former British Penal Colony to establish "a white Australia" while Japan, with a population of more than 40,000,-000, is looking for room in which to expand. We predict that inside of the next ten years Australia will be wide open to any of the darker races who may want to settle in that country. The people that the Australians do not know are as good as the people they do know and perhaps are quite as good if not superior to the descendants of the criminal classes that were dumped upon its shores by the mother country for the country's good. "A white Australia" is the biggest joke of the XX Century The significance of Senator Carraway's allegation in his charges against U S Attorney General Daugherty in the Morso case that: "One of the highest paid employees in a certain department of his office is a Negro" will not be lost on those who are able to understand what this Arkansas Senator is trying to "put over" on the Attorney General.

But this scene reminds me of Madison Square, New York, and Central Park, New York, at fifty-pinch street and Broadway." Quite true. But to know Boston one must know her history and know her psychically. And get physically Boston is also a unique city. Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Boston are five american cities that particularly impressed Chicago is a city devoted to the making and spending of money in a crude and natural manner New York is a city devoted to the making and spending of money in a more intellectual and refined manner It is not as rustic and as unsophisticated as Chicago. Philadelphia is a very large, very rich, very old and very conservative city. Washington has imposing government buildings, well-laid streets and avenues, beautiful parks and splendid residences on Connecticut avenue and Stateenth street. Still being a city governed and controlled by commissioners who are appointed and with a school board which is appointed it is not the same variety of free thought and free speech. But in Boston the visitor continues to arouse picturesque spots, mon- teurs and inscriptions. Just a few wishes from Park Square the visitor sketch Square, where Troy and the Westminster Hotel the Library and the new old South kennational Church are outstand- ing and marks. Then walking back to Park Square and going down Washington street, he will pass by the old South Meeting House where Otis War- ren Hancock and Adama dellerted to few speeches. A little farther down a lock east of Washington street he will come to the square where Crisp writes fell in the Boston street. e farther down he will come near. Hall the cradle of life are the memorable apes who lived in Revolutionary da- sies. Wendell Phillips tell us that made him famous The Negro at Bunker Hill Across the Charles River in Charlestown the Bunker Hill Monument offers itself in the air. The anniversary of that battle June 19, is celebrated as a holiday in Massachusetts. The day is observed in Charlestown by a March parade in the morning and a military parade in the afternoon. It may interest the sons and daughters of Ethiopia to know that a black man was the hero at the battle of Bunker Hill. All Abromble was leading the British forces up the bill, saying The day is our Salem Poor, a Negro who would have been called an Ethiopian Hero-dotus or a Numidian Libyan or Nubian Livy, stopped forward and shot Col Abromble. He fell fatally wounded, and his followers broke and fled. Boston as a Psychic Force Today New York city with its Wall Street Its Stock Exchange and much millionaire exists a more controlling force upon the life and destinies of the country than does historic Boston But it was not always so. Before Commodore Vanderbilt piloted up his immense fortune and Wall Street began its resistless march to power, which culminated when Carnegie became the steel king Hockefeller organized the Standard (C) J. Plepront Morgan the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad and E. H Harriman became the railroad king. Boston was the all-controlling and all-dominating force in American life. This was quite natural as brains and character will make themselves felt in any land or age regardless of the color or social status of the possessor of these psychic traits. The men and women who crossed the ocean in the Mayflower a little more than 300 years ago possessed an intelligence, energy, character and physical hardship that was far above the average, and their descendants inherited these qualities. It was quite natural that the sons of educated men should set up a college in Cambridge, across the river and should endeavor to make Harvard College a rival of Oxford and Cambridge universities. It was quite natural that the descendants of men who left thet native home crossed the ocean and settled in a strange land surrounded by Indians because they beloled 'in religious liberty, should themselves advocate political liberty, religious liberalism, freedom and justice for the black man But just now the sons and daughters of the Puritans have their hands full with the foreign problems. As long as Celtic Latin, Slavic and Polish people came over in small numbers they could rapidly assimilate them and inculcate in them American ideals and traditions. Manufacturers and contractors needed laborers, but they dread a race problem. So instead of importing Negro laborers from the South they imported foreigners from Europe. The result is that the Irish practically control Boston politics and foreign immigrants with alien traditions and ideals have come over faster than they can be moulded into Yankee traditions and ideals. So the Yankee is in the position of a man who has eaten more than he can digest. In bringing in foreigners instead of blacks the Yankee has swapped a devil for a witch. Whatever her future, Boston has been such an intellectual and moral force that she will go down in history as the eye and conscience of America for three centuries. From the days when Faneuil Hall rocked with the eloquence of the Revolutionary orators down to the days when Harvard refused the LL.D. degree to Governor Ben Butler of Civil War fame and desirred at conferring it upon the late President William McKinley of the United States, Boston has been self-sufficient intellectually, has gone her way and thought her thoughts regard- (Continued on page 10) PAGE Weekly Sermon Weekly Sermon PRESENTING BELASCO'S NATIVE SOUTH AMERICAN ORCHESTRA 2047 MARIE Venezuelan Waltz .75c PARA TI Porto Rican Danza 2048 ALMA MIA Cuban Waltz .75c SWEET CHARLIE Jamaican Paseo 2050 LUCILLE Trinidad Waltz .75c SUSPIRO DE AMOR Columbian Waltz MANUFACTURED BY PACE PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION Makers of "Black Swan" Records and the "Swanola" 2289 SEVENTH AVE., NEW YORK CITY AGENTS WANTED MAIL ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY ON BLACK SWAN RECORDS Only Records Made Using Negro Vocales and Musicians Exclusively.

Subject The Influence of Mothers Text St Luke 1 42 Blessed art how among women thou among women It was the first thought of every Jewish girl of the tribe of Judah to be careful of her conduct and thoughtful in her manner because to her was the promise of the world’s Messiah. When the glad intelligence was given to Mary, her joy was so full until she hastened to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was the mother of John the Baptist. And when she had saluted her Elizabeth said Blessed art thou among women. From this time even to the present all mothers have been a blessing or curse to their day and generation. They have been a blessing in proportion as they have assimilated the Christ spirit or a virtue as they have imbibed the lusts of the first. I upon what does the life of a na- tural or familial affliction Naama are but the aggregations of the fat and a a a but the reflex of the fat, therefore the nation are the dominant ideas of the families of the nation. It is very important then that we have the right kind of fanfare if we are to have the race that the nation that can be held upon who a crisis arises in the affairs of the nation. There are many acts of murder. No doubt though murder must not be stained and must be kept. Always there is a safe guarding the lives of men who have a thought of the com- munity that may be held in the hands of each child in Mom will all have de- layed the lives of the world are the in- volved and meant which be- come the controlling thought of the world for the home and all those deeds that opinions are now made of that afterward become the eating thoughts of the world. It is the future evolu- tion of a nation face or problem upon the mothers of that the race of people. The history of Egypt, Greece, Rome and Vanails and toils prove it. The Egyptian mother must give the world the Tharoas as a child. Mumma were treated for their strength of body, with care of clothing and body. They be loved in a womanhood that knewaught of birth control, nor did they seek to be relieved of the responsibility of motherhood. Each langed and hoped and sigged for a male child that could pay his part in his affairs of life. The father in mothers gave to the Sparta the mother of their blood. It was safely tried in the Pass of Thermopae. It was be born of their blood that cared for them to endure for future rather than a sound plan. The mottoe of Rome del wel cent the most forlorn symptom of demoralization creep, and women of high birth abandoned themselves to the most wonton excesses when divorce were as frequent as marriage, when the bigger type of women registered themselves in the police records in order that they may serve as common prostitutes, then it was that retributive enegge rapped at her door and Rome then hated of the then Western civil war met a similar fate of her Eastern sister in corruption Carthage and died to rise no more. The Civita and Vandals overran Europe and contributed to the dowelfault of Rome because the motherhood of that people was sturdy pure and careful in the little things of their every day existence. The mother of our Western civilization can be no exception to the rule. We must give to the world the proper mothers or we shall suffer defend he cause those mothers are wanting. We have got to feed the cry and produce them or suffer and adcribable anguish. 3 Potent influences are felt in the home school and church. Home a word dear in the memory of the human family a word that bespeaks volumes of love, honor, care, pleasantness and material, or pages indifference, shame neglect, sorrow and poverty is of intrinsic value to the pagan as well as the Christian. Here ideas gathered in moments of delight at mothers knee are destined to consciously or unconsciously influence the child. Here are built of the same parent stock castles fit for the indwelling of a king, or hovels unit for the habitation of men. Here characters are fashioned for the glory of God and the blessing of men, or the furtherance of the satanic influence and despoiling of the human family Here we encounter the power which centralizes our noble industrious, conscientious and pure existence with the wellspring of odr being or the power that concentrates a base, shiftless unscrupulous and unchaste life with the disseminator of misery, woe and overlanding ruin Home has a particular meaning to every man and every woman. And this meaning is clear through the impress of that mother in the home We must have mothers in the home who know the power and influence of example The school life of children must feel the influence of good mothers. The real benefactor in the school looks for and welcomes the cooperation of the mothers in the home. Parent teacher meetings should be spontaneous, rather than a rarely. The influence of that person who spends 18 hours out of 24 every day with the child cannot go without effect. For who understands like mother? Who perceives as quickly when the least thing has gone awry? Her eyes are the first to sense the wrong and the last to leave you if you are called upon to leave her through the committing of the wrong. Her influence is most potent in the church. I speak not of human agencies for the advancement of creeds, but I speak of that organized effort that goes to make the world better because the Christ came to act the world art through the mother love expressed in true womanhood. Great man all attent her praise. One and all. All that I am all that I hope to be I owe it to my angel mother. Another and Son behold your mother. And this one is one of the seven mistreatments when He was in the throes of death Sam Jones, in a preparation on mother said that the greatest gift in all the earth is a mother's joy. But we of simple exertion with little of any home life, 15 years ago know her worth. We go forth demonstrating to the world that to spite of the marks of slavery, in spite of the damnable injustice neapelled upon us through the accursed institution of bartering in human life, in spite of the fact we were reduced to level of chattel we come forth fortified with character, transmitted to us through the loins of those old Christian mothers who had no control over their persons, yet proved their loyalty to the one man that was given to them for husband. The motherhood of the colored race is a standing proof of theinate desire of the womanhood of the race to be faithful in spite of previous training and forced action on the part of the stronger group we have committed. But let us forget the wrongs perpetrated upon us and exclaim with Harry Tobias Bravest of Them All How often we forget the days gone by And often we regret not heeding mother's tears The good advice she gave so free, We find come true in years to be We're the love she gives The one love that forever lives Always there to greet you With a kind and gentle smile, And the way she treats you Makes you feel that life a worth while Patiently she borne all your troubles from the start And always first to help you When having an aching heart Faithfully she serves though her form with age is bent Heavy is her burden, still she seemed to be content Just like the purest angel in heaven up above She gives what money cannot buy And that's a mother a love SOME FAMOUS NEGROES By BRUCE GRIT Chico writing to his friend Tacitus said, Neque ulam apem praedao nis ex Manicip ex quibus Mullos puto to titulus Ant Musica cruditos asperature - Lib IV, 16. With Cousins a opinion of the Britons many are familiar. He describes them generally as a nation of very barbarous manners. Most of the people of the interior he says, 'never sow corn but live upon milk and flesh and are clothed with skins'. In another place he remarks. In their domestic and social habits, the Britons are as degraded as the most savage of nations; they are clothed with skins, wear the hair of their heads unshaven and long, but shave the rest of their bodies except the upper lip, and stain themselves a blue color with woad, which gives them a horrible aspect in battle. --- ```markdown ``` PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT By BRUCE GRIT Mr Samuel Bright, the genial and affable manager of Lafayette Hall that part of it where the goats and coffins and other insignia for making Masons and other jinners' are lodged is one of His armies best citizens, a booster, not a knocker, and a gentleman, whom to know is to admire.

In this teacher's school was a little chap named James who had not shown up for three days.

Marcus Garvey, and their unswerving devotion to the cause which he has so ably sponsored by turning out tonight seven thousand strong to bid farewell and godspet to the president-general on the eve of his departure for a period of two months through the country promulgating the principles and doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which he is so intelligently leading and to which he has dedicated his life and crystallizing the sentiment of Negroes throughout the country preparatory to the approaching convention in August. If the enthusiasm displayed by the audience in Liberty Hall can be taken as a criterion of their co-operation and support which they will lend to the association, then the president general need have no fears or qualms of conscience that the New York local will in his absence, as well as in his presence, maintain its prestige as the leading division of the association, whose influence and enthusiasm radiates throughout the country and throughout the world, stimulating to action and arousing to enthusiasm the other 890 divisions of the Association scattered in different parts of the world. The president general address to slight dealt with the propaganda that has been and still is being waged to destroy the association. In tracing the sources of opposition to the movement he attributed the cause of the opposition to the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association had become a disturbing element, having, like a mighty volcano disrupted the peace and good will of those who have lived off the lethargy ignorance and indifference of the Negro for ages. As a result the nations who have for ages been benefited by and have profited from the ignorance and lethargy of the Negro race have felt the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and are therefore spending millions of dollars every year, first, for curtailing the aims of the association, and secondly, to attempt to destroy its existence. The opposition, he said, was inspired because the propaganda of the N I A has caused those who have been exploiting the Negro race for hundreds of years to lose hope, and naturally any propaganda which does that becomes objectoabre to the classes that are to lose that ancient profit which they gained through the ignorance, lethargy and indifference of another race of people. But declared Mr Garvey in spite of the opposition and in spite of the expenditure of millions of dollars for counter-propaganda the N I A cannot fail because behind it is the motive power and the motive force of 400,000,000 black men and children We have given a cause to the world that shall never die a cause that no human power can deter or no human power can supersede and we are determined that priting our faith in the states and lodging up to the great Creator of all things—because Jesus Christ is our steadfast bearer—we shall move on and until we successfully paint the colors of the Red Black and the green in the breeze of African freedom. This condent and defiant declaration made by Mr. Garvey looked great applause but even still greater plaudits were made when as a altar to that declaration he used the words of the French (General) at the Battle of the Marne. They shall not pass applying them as a declaration to the world that there shall be no defeat for the I. N. A. With dramatic effect Mr. Garvey said Tonight from the platform of Liberty Hall we go to our enemies throughout the world you shall not pass so long as 400,000 Negroes. More inspiring and encouraging words could never have been uttered from the lips of a leader and it is this bold, defiant man and uncompromising attitude which characterizes Mr. Garvey that has made his name universally loved by sorries and has caused him to be considered as the recognized leader of the race. Brief addresses were delivered by Hon L Carter, first vice-president of the New York local and to whom has been assigned the task of conducting Liberty Hall in the absence of the President General Hon U R. Poston, Minister of Industries and Labor, and Rev Dr Malony. These addresses are appended below and contain plenty of food for thought. Mr Garvey made an announcement of all the various industries now conducted by the association, namely, two grocery stores, two restaurants and a printing and publishing house, along with a laundry and clothing factory, and he further announced that tomorrow (May 8) the association would open a dressmaking establishment at 62 West 14th street, and the following week a manufacturing tailor's department will be opened. He urged everybody to patronize all these industries, as by doing so they will enable the association to expand its enterprises, and will at the same time afford em- ADVERTISMENT "Bishop'L E.

Following are the speeches: HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. MARCUS Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for tonight is "The Propaganda to Destroy-It Shall Not Be Done." For quite a while the enemies of Negro progress—enemies within as well as enemies without—have been laying plots for first curtailing the aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and, secondly, to attempt to destroy its existence. This propaganda has been far flung. Many are engaged in it: millions of dollars have been spent for the promulgation of the propaganda. It reaches far and near and sometimes into places where we would least expect—I mean to those of us who do not look beyond the surface. A Disturbing Element The Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene of public action. Like a mighty volcano it has disturbed the peace and good will of those who have lived off the lethagy, the ignorance and indifference of the Negro for ages. It suited the world for a very long while to keep the Negro purposeless, to keep the Negro satisfied, because the whole world benefited by the exploitation of the Negro, whether it was British, French, German, Italian or American. Every section of the world has benefited by the ignorance or through the ignorance, lethagy and indifference of the Negro. America benefited from the ignorance and indifference and lethagy of the Negro for 250 years, during which period of time he was kept a slave. The British for over 300 years have been profiting through the ignorance, lethagy and indifference of the Negro, and expects still to profit therefrom. France has been profiting—and especially within the last fifty years—from the ignorance, indifference and self-satisfied disposition of the Negro and intends to do so for another half century or even longer. The Reason of Dissatisfaction Therefore any movement which attempts to awaken the Negro from his ignorance, from his lethargy, from his lack of ambition will naturally cause dissatisfaction among those who have controlled governments and empires when they exist at the expense of the Negro's ignorance, indifference and lethargy The governments themselves do not benefit directly from the sacrifice of any people, but indirectly they do Those who benefit are the individuals who make up government The different classes, for instance, that make up the British Government are those who exploit weaker peoples for the good of themselves, ultimately the empire benefits thereby, because by their robbery, by their exploitation of the lands and properties of other people they sometimes annex them to government and they naturally become a part of government and part of empire. So directly the people who make up government benefit from the ignorance and lethargy of individuals and races and governments indirectly benefit therefrom Now the elements that are disturbed at this time are the classes who have profited very much from this lethargy, ignorance and indifference. Our propaganda has caused them to lose hope of the hundreds of millions they have been exploiting for hundreds of years. Naturally any propaganda that does that becomes objectionable to the classes that are to lose that ancient profit which they gained through the ignorance, lethargy, and indifference of those people. Efforts Made to Subvert Influence of U. N. I. A. Now little do you know that men are paid here, there and everywhere, not only in America but throughout the West Indies and throughout Africa, to subvert the work, doctrines and propaganda and the hopes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But your organization has succeeded in spite of the opposition—the opposition and the expenditure of millions and millions of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars are being expended every year to prevent us from achieving the thing that we set out to achieve. The strength of your movement is seen Take. for instance, the shipping industry. Millions of dollars were expended in the shipping industries to boycott and put out of existence the Black Star Line. We put up a fight that no ordinary individual—no ordinary corporation—could have put up and carry on the Black Star Line for the length of time we did. The experience gained will enable us to put over a Black Star Line that will never have an end until Gabriel blows his horn (Applause.) Millions of dollars have been spent by rival companies in the sections of the world we intended to trade in for the purpose of handicapping us, and because we pinned our faith originally when we started to men of our own whom we had implicit confidence in—then who were easily paid and easily satisfied—we lost out in the first venture, but make it known—it is now made known to the world that we are going to start again and we are going to give the world a steamship line that only when Gabriel appears in the heavens and blows his horn will the Black Star Line not be seen on the seven seas of the world. (Applause.) We Must Count on Reverse We Must Count on Reverses In the making of a movement with such a great and gigantic program as the Universal Negro Improvement Association we must count on reverses; we must count on setbacks, but the leadership must be intelligent enough to benefit by every setback and every reversal. Sensible business men make profit out of every reversal, and the biggest enterprises today, whether they be the Carnegie steel trunk or the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1923 Co-operation and Support Pledged to the Association During President-General's Absence—Hon.

To us, as I have said, nothing attached to the Universal Negro Improvement Association can fail, because behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the motive power, is the motive force of four hundred million black men, women and children. We are determined under our leadership to do or die (Great Appalause). There is no going back, whether the propaganda is near or the propaganda is far, whether Marcus Garvey is near or Marcus Garvey is far, whether Marcus Garvey lives or Marcus Garvey is dead. We have given a cause to the world that shall neved die, a cause that no human power can deter or no human power can subvert, and we are determined that planting our faith to the stars and looking up to the great Creator of all things—because Jesus Christ is our standard-bearer—we shall move on and on until we successfully plant the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green in the breeze of African freedom. (Applause.) There Shall Be No Defeat We say it from Liberty Hall tonight and as I go from you to other sections of this country—that there shall be no defeat. Like the French general when the battle seemed dark in the last war when the Germans were making a mighty rush toward Paris, he gave to his men one inspiring thought, he gave to them one inspiring sentence, he gave to them one inspiring command. "They shall not pass." And tonight from the platform of Liberty Hall we say to our enemies throughout the world—You shall not pass, so long as 400,000,000 Negroes live. If we will accept a program or a slogan for the future then let us accept that which brought victory to the Allies—"They shall not pass", and I as far as I am concerned they shall only pass over my dead body, and then if the spirit lives—and I understand it does—they shall not pass. (Applause.) Written on the face of every Negro who professes the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the determination to see this program through. In the face of lynching, burning; in the face of the last report of three of our men burned at the stake without any proof that they had committed a crime in one section of the world and in another section of the world where men and women are being brutalized every day. Seeing these things before us can we submit to defeat? Will we slacken our effort? If we do we will be less than men and would deserve to die. We shall reach the point where we shall live like men or die like men. That is the determination that makes up the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We knew that we have cowards within this race of ours—men who are too cowardly to stand up for their rights — cowards that never achieved anything and we will expect nothing of cowards: but upon you who profess the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—upon you who know yourselves to be men created in the image of your Master, depends the future of this race of ours. We are determined that we shall go on and through the influence and work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we shall win freedom for Africa and emancipate ourselves everywhere. (Applausus) HON. G. E. CARTER SPEAKS Hon. G. E. Carter first vice-president of the New York local, was the first speaker and said, Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa. Members of the High Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Local, Ladies and Gentlemen—My message this evening is "Looking Ahead." When I look into your faces and contemplate the responsibilities that shall devolve upon us as a whole, and when I think of the great mission of our President-General to be accomplished as he goes from us after tonight's meeting, and when I think of the work that must be accomplished by the forces at headquarters, there is only one subject that comes to me and that is looking ahead. Looking ahead I see many things to be done, and it is impossible for these things to be accomplished unless there is concerted action on the part of all concerned. Concerted Action Needed In order that we may have concerted action, it is absolutely necessary that there be union of forces, a thorough understanding in detail, an absolute comprehension of the work before us. And then a determination on the part of all to put over the program. An Ideal We Are Striving For Looking ahead brings to our mind that there is an ideal worthy of our striving for; there is an ideal that must be persecuted; there is an ideal that must be obsessed and possessed by each individual member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and when this ideal obsesses our entire being it is then and there we will be so wedded to this ideal that things must come to paza.

A Mighty Invisible Force Directing Us Looking ahead will certainly bring to us a certainty that as we look ahead there will be a force that shall direct our doings, and this mighty force is a force that is invisible. It is a force that lends to every individual certain inspiration. It is a force that has played its part in the affairs of men all through the history of the world, and because it has played its part with such certainty and with such determination it is proof conclusive to us that this force will not fall us as we look ahead. I am speaking of that force which is essential in the development of any ideal. I am speaking of the one force that must take possession of each life, and as it takes possession of each life we will be able to bring things to pass. Frienda this force is nothing more or THE WORLD'S FAMOUS INDIAN HERD MEDICINES Women and men, less you forget the Indian Quick Hair Grower for grown hairs in the scalp, the scalp and presents its falling.

And when He leads I cannot stray; For step by step He goes before And marks my path; He knows the way. He knows the evils that surround us. The turnings that would lead astray; No foes of night can ever confound us. Let Jesus lead; He knows the way. This is the invisible force that I command you to, which will be able to give us the victory; this is the force that guides us through the dreadest night; this is the force that we can cling to and expect to accomplish as we look ahead. Looking ahead we shall be able when the 5th of July comes to report that the task assigned to our hands has been accomplished; that the New York local shall have achieved the work that it must do before this convention is at its rising. And then, frienda. when we shall have done that we will be able to demonstrate that we possess the possibilities of going forth and doin the thing and then finally we can say with Ackley when he wrote: As a tree beside the water hath the Favours planted us; All our fruit shall be in season, we shall live eternally. When our heart is almost broken, And the smashing steals away, Then His grace in mercy given, Changes darkness into day. When at last we stand before Him, Oh! what joy it will afford, Just to see the favours renamed And behold our sovereign Lord, We shall not be moved; Anchored to the Rock of Agnes, We shall not be moved. (Applause.) REV. DR. MALONEY SPEAKS: The next speaker was Rev. Dr. Maloney, who spoke as follows: Your Excellency the Provisional President of America. Members of the Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Local and Friends—Last evening the press reports gave us the grumses and awful story of three of our office having been done to death by an anarchist. THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS URGES DIVISIONS TO SEND "REAL MEN" TO THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Time Is Long Past for Small Spurious Characters People Should Wake Up to Pressing Legislative Needs of the Hour a THE N URGES DIVISIONS "REAL MEN" INTERNATION Time Is Long Past for S People Should Wake lative Needs By A. N. LINDSAY I have already written three letters through the columns of The Negro World, hoping that through the velled sentiments conveyed, you would have found food for thought. In my first I commended and supported suggestions coming from the Belize Division on communal cooperation. My second on the need for capable and efficient delegations to our next international convention. I am now supporting the President General in his many emphatic demands for men and better men—real men, honest in principle and loyal to trust. Truly we have had men, but have they measured up? A real man never surrendered a principle. He lives up to his honest convictions and cares not to be swarved. Enthulasm never endangers a purpose or cause, neither does enthusiasm run counter to reasonings, real men are never blinded by sentiments of friendship, favoritism, individualism or pecuniary gains, and if experienced teaches wisdom, then, in my estimation, for God's sake and for the love and indebtedness we owe to this noble organization, the only outstanding Saviour of this race of ours, let us have men. We are appealing for such men whose works live after them. The Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot any longer use puppets and meaningless, insinuate, undignified men who are merely inclined to nurse their chorished positions, rather than exert their manhood in the interest of a cause. The time is long past for small, spurious characters called men. If we are to adopt seriously the democratic teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as coming from the author, the honorable Mr. Bunce, then, no man can afford to be bound in his righteous convictions for a principle where the M. I. A. is involved. Therefore, at a juncture, I cannot other than do so as unfortunate the laxity and port-sightedness of past delegates to our International Convention. No man, however good may be his intention, is immuned from mistakes, hence, the need for wise counsellors. No one man is capable of thinking, conceiving and materialising, then execute efficiently. Hence the need of capable, practical knowledge with ability and methods of cooperation to achieve successfully. Then why expect so much of any one human being? And why place so much responsibility on the shoulders of any man without the necessary men harrowithal to accomplish? Needs a general rule do not seem sufficient themselves by past expenses, past mistakes or past critics. If to the contrary, then exert ourselves. See to it that the true interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association be not imperilled or impeded, for want of trained knowledge and power of real intellect with driving force of many principles and courage. If men are willing that the Universal Negro Improvement Association input succeed, then it is only quite necessary that we pursue democratic methods and such democratic methods in our legislation, at those conventions that will insure the attainments of the desired ends hoped for. There can be no much delegated powers entrusted to any one individual for the safe-guarding or directing and handling of affairs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Note Proverbs 18 23.) Without counsel purposes are disappointed, but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. There, my friends, see the folly. I request you to section 13 of the Constitution second and last paragraphs. What issues intelligence and common sense understand, but that there is one superior brain only, one to confide in and trust. Such is absurd and ignorant in the self-esteem and merely reflects discredit and lack of insight and qualifications on the part of our former delimitations. My friends, I mentioned in not only my previous letters that the U M K A is confronted with problems within and without. I repeat, if the Universal Negro Improvement Association must progress, see to it that we have at our next convention, men with ability and foresight, and more so much of business ideas. The time is here when the Negro should aid himself of petty incapable men that will make lacks in the true sense of the word. We are passing from the stages of sentiment and propaganda to truthness. Go, give us men, men with sound minds and not tinkling ambitions. we are, lied of honesty and non- at- tempted arguments. Therefore, I say true men have no interest in true to principles, fear their own intellect, and bid allegiance only to the truth and loyalty of purpose. We have the identity and confidence in our selves and limit only will we be satisfied with an honest victory, but of chase, satisfied with an earnard and, upward, for satisfied with an honest divided we fall. HARTFORD DIV. HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING By WM. H WOOD Hartford Division of the U N I A and A C L held three interesting mass meetings on April 9 and 10, 1922, under the supervision of the Hon Sir Wm H Ferria. On Sunday at 8 p.m. the meeting was called a order by the president Mr Fred F G Smart, who occupied the chair. These three meetings opened with the singing of 'Shina On, Eternal Light and From Greenland a Ice Mountain,' followed by prayer by the Hon Chaplain, Rev M Washington. Then the president read the objects and aims of the U N I A, saying we intend to establish a universal confederacy among the Negro peop of the world. The president's remarks were inspiring and were well received. The chorus and band rendered some beautiful selections, which they did very well on these occasions, with much aplause. The first speaker was Mr Raip Q Osborne, of New York, secretary to Sir W H Ferria. He spoke of the different tribes of Africa and also explained how our foreparents were brought from Africa and scattered the world over. He opened up the eyes of the doubling Thomases. (Applause.) The next speaker was Sir Wm H. Ferris. He outlined to the people the principles of the U N I A, explaining what we were and what we are now and what we will be in the future, if we just keep up to the teachings of the U N I A and follow after the Hon Marcus Garvey, because he is the right man in the right place. He also explained the truth about the Negro people in many ways. His remarks were received with thunderous applause. At 9 p. m. another meeting started, which was conducted in the same manner as the previous one, which came to a close at 10:45. There was a solo by Mrs E. A Gaines, accompanied by Miss S. A. Hughes. On 7 Monday, the 10th, the meeting started in the same manner. We had a good crowd. a lot of newcomers coming out to get a sight of Sir Ferrie, and the medicine they received from the veracious speaker made them think and they promised to join in the near future. A duet by Mrs E A Galnes and Miss Mather J Dowden, accompanied by Mr K A Boone was 'Whispering Home.' The next speaker was Mr Ralph Osborne, from New York city, who took his object from where he left off. He outlined the race and the different tribes of Afriac He defined the word Negro from nigger, and said that the Negro that refused to join the U N I A has lost ground, as he was giving the other races so much leavage that it would be hard to overcome them in the end. He interested his listeners for nearly twenty-five minutes, and his name will be remembered for some time to come in Hartford. The Rev H C Lourie, from Portland, Conn., said, "I want to say to you people that some of the most aggressive fighters against the U N I A are preachers. My only regent is that the Hon. Marcus Garvey did not come four years sooner than he did. I am very old but still young in spirit, and with his voice ringing, in fear, for nearly three voice rings away, he discharged his heavy artillery, driving the U N I A objects and aims into the hearts of his hearses W G Wilson, the next speaker, impressed his hearers Sir W H Forris, he said, 3,000 years ago, that Egypt taught the world civilisation. The Negro race has produced greater scholars, thinkers, writers and some of what the other races have lacked. Marcus Garvey is one of the greatest scholars the world over, and a journalist or renown. He has preached a doctrine of force, a doctrine of Negro manhood, and a doctrine of Christianity, and said that the dwellers in New York city admired the workmanship exhibited in the sky-scrapers, Brooklyn Bridge, the subway, the underground tube, the palatial steamships like the Lusitania and Titanic, all from a dream. The Black Star Line, he said. If it ever goes down, will not be the fault of the U N I A. because it is a strong government. The Negro must organize and reorganize, then the world will respect him as a man. He had by this time captivated the house, giving him tremendous applause. PERTH AMBOY DIVISION HOLDS BIG MEET A large gathering of the members and friends of the Perth Amboy Division heard Mr. Robert L. Poston expound the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association hast week at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Oak street. Three meetings were held here and enthusiastic crowds attended them. Among the speakers were: Rev. James E. Robinson, Mr. Joseph Garnet, Mr. W. Gumbe and Mr. Nilgerger Week. Several new members were enrolled. THE NEGRC WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 PHILADELPHIA DIVISION OF THE U. N. I. A. "OVER THE TOP" Hon. H. Vinton Plummer Reports a Warm Re- Although there has been no publicity given them in the press, nor much noise about it, either, yet when one just makes a casual inspection or a cursory glance at this division his eyes are opened wide and he is forced to exclaim, Wonderful! What rapid strides along business lines have been made! And their manner of doing it, the success already achieved and their ready response to the call of duty all tend to show what can be accomplished by organization and co-operation by the members under proper management. No says the director of Publicity and Propaganda on his return from the city of Philadelphia, where he had made a flying trip and dropped in on the Sunday meeting of the division at their temporary Liberty Hall at Twelfth and Bainbridge streets He found on the rostrum among the officers the astute financier and banker Dr R R Wright, who was at the time delivering an address to the vast audience assembled, and the publicist and politician, Hon T Wallace Swann, who afterwards was called on for a speech, and a rattling good one he made, too. The success of this division is due almost wholly to the energetic businesslike manner of its cultured and progressive President, Dr Lonelon Francis, in the conduct of the affairs of this division, together with his officers. One of the latest additions to their business enterprises is the establishment of a clinic and laboratory, with a complete equipment of the latest and most modern instruments and furnishings, including an x-ray cabinet complete, which is under the direct supervision of Dr. Cooper, a member of the organization. It is commendable to observe the most appearance of the several rooms for offices at their headquarters, 1810 South street U. N. I. A. NOTES Roseau Division No. 85 The No. 85 Division of the U N I A and A C L, despite the ignorance of the people in things pertaining to the Negro, is still making headway. The attendance at meetings is improving. Our people here require some officer from abroad to stir them up. The propaganda of the majority against the U N I A and Mr Garvey has not shaken the loyal Garveyites a bit anyway. The most interesting meeting ever held since the year began took place on the 4th inst., when there was an attendance of about 200. The principal speaker was Mr H D Severin who made the blood of everyone run hot with Garveyism. The U N I A Literary Club is holding weekly meetings every Monday night, and will soon devise plans for a night school. Our people are slow to appreciate good things, and the old doctrine that Negroes can do nothing is deeply implanted in the mind of many. An entertainment was given on the 17th in aid of the Literary Club It was poorly attended J R R C Roseau, Dominica B W I April 19 FOURTEEN REASONS WHY WE SHOULD FOLLOW GARVEY By KATIE FERNER During former President Wilson's leadership of the United States of America, and at the Versailles Peace Conference, there were fourteen points in the Peace Treaty which he fathered. As a follower of Garveyism there are fourteen points why every Negro should follow Garvey. First, he has proved himself a leader Second, he is broadminded. Third, he wants to organize ALL of the Negroes. Heretofore our different leaders have only catered to some. Fourth, he stands up fearlessly for our rights. Fifth, he knows our wants because he is one of us. Sixth, he is bound to win Seventh, he is sent by God Eighth, he seeks to build up, not to tear down. Ninth, he is a Negro. Tenth, he has sacrificed Eleventh, he teaches race solidarity Twelfth, he teaches race pride Thirteenth, he teaches Negro independence, the redemption of Africa Fourteenth, his idea is One God, One Alm, One Dastiny. BULLOCK, FEARING KLAN, FLIES TO FOREIGN LAN FLEES TO PORENGLAND HAMILTON, Ont. April 29. Holief of rumors that members of the Ku Klux Klan had pledged themselves to kidnap him and take him back to Norlina, N. C. to face charges of murder and inciting riot has caused Matthew Bullock, American Negro, to seek refuge on another continent, his friends declared today. Bullock evaded extradition to Norlina on two occasions, and then the vague rumors of Ku Klux interest in this case reached him. The Rev J. D. Howell, who led the campaigns for funds to fight the Negro extradition, said these rumors had worried Bullock a great deal. He added today he had received word from Bullock of his safe arrival at the haven of refuge. Mr. Howell refused to reveal Bullock's place of refuge. Funds for his journey, it was reported, were supplied from the defense chest, to which thousands of members of his race and many white people contributed. A NEGRO ECO- NOMIC CONFERENCE By ARTHUR E. KING The excellent suggestion of one of our foremost Negro months that Negroes should hold an economic conference deserves serious consideration by the Negro press, especially in view of the fact that the National Negro Business Men's League is expected to hold its annual meeting here in August. The small number of Negro students the relatively low Negro business men and the tardy recognition of paying special attention to our economic problems would have made a conference of this nature in the past somewhat premature. But today there is a fair number of Negro students of this subject, perhaps a hundred thousand business men, and a greater popular acceptance of specialists. Dr A B. Wilson, in the Howard University Record, is quite right in saying: "Today, as possibly never before, we are realizing the need of an honest, intelligent and varied leadership of specialists in race building." In this connection we may note the following incident related by Professor Mavor "J M Keynes, a lecturer in economics at King College, Cambridge, had already before the war acquired reputation as an acute writer on economic questions. This circumstance had been brought to the notice of Lloyd George, then Chancellor of the Echoquer, and on the evening of August 4, 1914, a motor car was dispatched to Cambridge to fetch Mr Keynes to Downing Street to advise the Treasury upon the financial measures necessitated by the outbreak of war. Thereafter he was the Treasury expert on international exchange, etc." The only excuse, however, for a gathering of this kind would be the planning of a constructive economic program—after the facts have been carefully arrived at—which would alm at an improvement in our general level of well-being by the most effective use of our capital and labor The program of the conference would have to depend on the number of delegates and the time available for discussion, and, as mentioned before, it would be better to limit discussion to the situation of the Negro here, as more data are available. Still, no hard and fast rule ought to be adopted, because some of our domestic problems are intimately bound up with developments abroad and cannot be discussed intelligently without reference to the foreign situation. We cannot, for instance, discuss our relation to the cotton industry without considering the effect of the plans made by the British and French Empires and Brazil to produce large quantities of this staple by Negro labor. In the domestic field we must keep clearly before us the varying economic and social conditions and avoid any uniform plan of proposals. The subjects, in my opinion, that ought to be taken up are Publicity, Employment, Housing, Consumers' Co-operation, Credit, Business Co-operation, Investments, Foreign Trade. In addition to these subjects, we ought to devote some time to the economic policy of the government, especially on matters such as transportation, water powers, currency, foreign trade, foreign debt and its policy towards countries inhabited mainly by Negroes. Before formulating any economic program it must be understood that the program proposed must be made to fit into existing conditions, and is not intended for a political vacuum. The character, beliefs, outlook and social condition of our people must be taken into account, the existing agencies for handling certain phases of our problems must be incorporated in the plans. Here, then, is a splendid opportunity for our organizations to take advantage of They could send—without regard to their particular philosophy or program—competent delegates to discuss fundamental questions. No great expenditure of money is needed, no Ningaras of eloquence, no frills, brass bands or sophists can be of any material help all that is required is an unostentatious meeting of clear-brained men and women—sound in their information and capable to deal with the problems to be surveyed.

Audubon EWR MORON DIVISION HOLDS GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBIT "Oh," Passionately Cries Writer, "I Wish Our People Could See Themselves Through the Mirror of Thrift, Such as What the U. N. I. A. Is Teaching, and Comply with Its Industrial Program" By JOSEPH A TODD Executive Secretary MORON Cuba, April 17 A new spirit has shown itself in this vicinity. It is a fact and worthy of saying that the U N I A. has brought out the latent talent of Negroes the world over YOUNGSTOWN DIV. HONORS THE HON. MARCUS GARVEY By E. R. E. GILKES A reception was given for Marcus Garvey and cabinet at the Belmont Some Negroes are always willing to coincide with the statement of other people of other races. Such statements are not only damaging, but is also a hindrance to the progress of the race. But through the instrumentality of the U. N. L. A., the Negro is determined to denounce the old propaganda that have for years dominated the minds of the most unfortunate of our race. This year began a new spirit in our surroundings. From the sixth of January to the eleventh there was an exhibition held in our Liberty Hall and it was surprising to spectators to see the beautiful exhibits that the women and girls of our race produced with their fingers. Crochet and frame work were a speciality, dresses, curios, baskets, shirts, pinafores, gowns, waistls, ties, hats, shawls, antimacassars, pillow cases, embroidery, kerchiefs and many things too numerous to mention were on show Oh, I wish our people could see themselves through the mirror of thrift, such as the U N I A is teaching, and also comply with its industrial program On March 9, Hon E V Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, issued our division and found it in good working shape. He electrified large gatherings for two nights, with thorough satisfaction both to the Cuban and French element. In the opinion of the writer, a better man could not be appointed for such a work in this country. He paid us a second visit on April 12, and remained until the thirteenth. A pleasant Sunday afternoon was held under the auspices of the United Independent Order of Mechanics on Sunday, April 16, with complete success. Prince Aqua of the Cameroon tribe has been a guest of our division since Thursday, the thirteenth and I can safely say that his presence is highly appreciated. From him we have had a good experience about Africa and the sentiments of the natives. And I am desirous of extending this warning to Negroes the world over, to prepare themselves for a national change. Africa is extending the hand of welcome to the Negroes of this Western hemisphere. South and Central America, to come over and exchange talents for industry and science. Today ends a popularity contest among our Juveniles, which was also a success. Friends of High Commissioner C H.

MORTON, Executive Secretary Newport News Division. No. 6 received as his special guest on Sunday, April 16, the Rt Hon Cap E L Gance of the parent body The captain arrived in the morning, accompanied by his secretary, Miss Dylan M Baill and proceeded to the luxurious apartment of one of the most congenial and distinguished ladies of Newport News Va. Mme. Banks of Jefferson avenue where arrangements had been made by a committee consisting of some of the most loyal members of the Newport News Division No. 6 for the temporary abode of the captain and his train. It had previously been announced that the distinguished guest would speak at Berlin Hall in the afternoon at 3 p.m. and the dance exceeded all anticipation. The captain appeared as per schedule and the meeting was declared opened by our beloved president the Rev E Gidfrey. The choir under the leadership of the talented Mr. Neese rendered a very vivid program and recitations were in profusion. The captain was introduced to the audience by the cloquent and affable A. O'Neill, general secretary of the division, whose celebrations gave applause to the audience. The audience no doubt was impressed by the captain. At this can all be said for more greeted the heartiest and proceeded to address the Newport's most intelligent teens and the youths whom exhibited their delightful group and for warring among the most hostile in the Newport News.

On this crown is a scene from the learned gentleman for the benefit of his select audience, distinguished himself as a record breaker in dealing with the subject. The Black Man the World's Builder The Captain apured on its turn in revealing to the black man his real and original pedestal from the beginning of the world commencing with the creation of Adam and Eve, the abominations of Cain, and here the audience became acquainted with the true origin of the white man, and the Captain found himself inclined to apologize for having held them spellbound from start to finish. But what is the use anyhow? It had to be done in order that the Negro may know himself and other men. It would be a grave injustice not to GERMAN SAILORS LANDED IN HAYTI, LANSING CLAIMS Former Secretary of State Defends American Ua- rpation of Black Republic Makes Belated "Disclosure" Which Is Open to Suspicion WASHINGTON May In a letter to Senator McCormack (Rep. III) chairman of the committee that has been investigating American ua- rpation in Hawaii former Secretary of State Lanning makes the belated dis- sure that German sailors were about to be landed in the Black Repu- blic on July 31, 1914. This mysterious landing of German sailors is given by Mr. Lanning as one of the reasons the American Ua- rpation took place. On the eve of the declaration of war beween Germany and Russia the 18 H Connecticut and the German cruiser Karlsruhe were both in the harbor of Port au Prince. On July 21 1914 the Karlsruhe changed her position in order to screen the movements of her crew, and a number of boats of German sailors with small arms and machine guns left the Karlsruhe and proceeded to the wharf where they landed. When half way down the wharf the Germans turned about, returned to their boats and went back to their ship. Believe Envoy Got Cable This mysterious action took place at dusk. Shortly afterward the Captain of the harbour came aboard the Connecticut and told the Captain he had received orders to proceed to St. Thomas for coal and asked the captain of the Connecticut to protect German interests while he was gone. The harbour then steamed out of the harbor to begin her commerce-destroying cruise. Shortly afterward the captain of the Connecticut was informed by wireless that war between Russia and Germany had been declared. There is reason to believe that the German landing party was turned back with artillery by the man minister to Hartford to take lodges for the harbour to leave Port at Prince at once. Thus the local situation was by the outbreak of war relieved of a conflict of interests which might have been serious undertaking. Concluding and elaborate review of the issues presented by the American in- press on the former Secretary of State arms on our motives in these two sentences. 1. Determine the appealing condi- tions of anarchy, annoyance and op- eration which had been prevailed in Haiti for decades and to undertake the establishment of domestic peace in the region in order that the great bulk of the population who had been devo- ted by dictators and the in- vent systems of repeated revolutions should be a prosperity and an economic and industrial development to which they are people of an American nation are entitled. 2. A desire to treat any attempt by a force on power on land on a foot-rail on the territory of the American colonies had occurred if a group of a military station or naval base had been laid and would have must certainly been a measure to the peace of the Western Hemisphere and in fragrant defiance of the Monroe Doctrine mention in taking the Boy Scouts who managed for the Captain special benefit. A rare single group of youngsters cannot be found anywhere. Special mention should be made of the drill sergeant of No. 6 Division a youngster of nine. Well ask the Captain he knows. Buff it to say they have New York a Boy Scouts elapsed in general it is astonishing to note the talent among the younger Negro generation as found in Newport News. There is much doubt as to whether their equal can be found in any of the larger cities. Exit the Captain and his train and Newport News experiences an aching soul which time alone can subdue; unless the Captain carries out his promise by returning in a few weeks. We know he will Our meetings are conducted as usual at Berlin's Hall corner of Twenty third street and Jefferson avenue, and business is transacted at said hall under the strict supervision of J.

MARGUS GARVEY President-General Addresses Cincinnati, Ohio, Division—Urges Members to "Work and Pray" By R. GILBERT SIMPSON CINCINNATI Ohio.—On April 6 and 7 Hon. Marcus Garvey was in the city of Cincinnati and spoke in the Music Hall on the nights of both dates. The Music Hall is the largest public hall in the city, with a seating capacity of about 4,000. On the night of the 6th Mr Garvey, speaking in his usual forceful and eloquent style, entertained his audience for the space of one hour. His speech was not one that abounded in words and phrases above the grasp of the average mind, but logic, simplicity of style, and occasionally a little witticism is its characteristic features. Garvey and the U. N. E. A. Ethiopia's sons and daughters are stretching forth their hands unto God, matching onward and upward to that grandeur which was theirs. The loud and prolonged applause which marked each climax proved the high appreciation with which Commissioner Sherrill's speech was received. Commissioner Sherrill is a young man of marked ability, and gives healthy promise of bringing success to the standard of the Red, Black and Green. Beides the speech-making, the evening's program consisted of songs expressive of the new spirit brought He emphasized the fact that the Negro is segregated, Jim-crowed and ostracised not because of the color of his skin, but because of the fact that he has produced nothing The Japanese, he says, are respected, though perhaps not liked, because they have a government in the protection of which they can safely trust Ask the white man what he has produced and he points with pride to his battleships, his submarines, his airships and his factories. Ask the yellow man to present his production and proudly he shows you his magnificent army and powerful navy. The Negro questioned about his achievement since emancipation points to the cotton fields of the South-land, and declares that in the plinking of cotton his ability has been expended In grave tones Mr Garvey declared that if battleships look good to the white man. If battleships look good to the yellow man, battleships also look good to the black man. If the white man needs the protection of a mighty government if the yellow man trusts in the defense of a great army and a huge navy, the black man also thinks he should acquire these things. too. With the leadership of the U. N. I. A. 6,000,000 Negroes have set out in real earnest to possess themselves of these things. Not by prayer does the black man hope to stop lynching and other forms of oppression; not by prayer does the black man hope to possess battleships and aeroplanes and build empires, because these things are not fashioned in heaven and sent down here. But just as the white and the yellow man build these things for themselves, so also must the black man arise and build. Mr Garvey showed his sincerely belief in prayer, but he also obeys the Scriptural injunction, "Work and pray." Addressing the college man, the big Negroes, he said the jim-crow car was not made for any special set of Negroes, but for Negroes in general, and not until the intellectual and wealthy Negroes realize the oppression mated out to their race and use their intelligence and wealth to better these conditions will they be looked upon as benefactors to their people. Hon. William Ware, president of the Cincinnati division, presided, and introduced His Excellency and Hon. William L. Sherrill, commissioner for the State of Ohio, who made the first speech of the night. In beautiful language, spiced with metaphor, antitheses and similes, he clearly depicted the ancient glories of Ethiopia, the intervention of slavery and how under the leadership of Ma- $500 REWARD IF I FAIL TO GROW HAIR ROOT HAIR GROWER A The Head of the Unit of the Black Cross Nurses in each and every Division who desires a copy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association a Nurses Training Manual for each and every member of the Unit should send in immediately to the office of the Surgeon-General a complete list of the number of members in each Unit requiring some so that we may know how many copies to have printed for each cus Garvey and the U.

The loud and prolonged applause which marked each olimax proved the high appreciation with which Commissioner Sherrill's speech was received. Commissioner Sherrill is a young man of marked ability, and gives healthy promise of bringing success to the standard of the Red, Black and Green. Deaides the speech-making, the evening's program consisted of songs expressive of the new spirit brought about by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Two recitations were also listed to with delight, one by Miss Betty Hutchins, the poet laureate of the Cincinnati division, whose Xmas poem was honorably mentioned in The Negro World. The other poem was by Miss Priscilla G. Smith, who, though young, possesses wonderful ability to entertain an audience with recitations and addresses. The Fraternial League Band on this occasion, as at other times, rendered lively music. This meeting was a huge success, in that the reports one hears on every hand show that all who heard Hom.

THOUSANDS BID FAREWELL TO PRESIDENT-GENERAL (Continued from page 7) mob in the State of Texas. We are told that these men were taken out of the prison, away from the warden of the prison and carried out of close reach and range of the scene of the crime that is supposed to have been committed by them, and were each one separately and singly tied to one of the threshing instruments in the field and burned to death. This report also naively stated that two white men who are also in prison and who were captured by virtue of the fact that blood stains '1' from the scene of the crime to their individual homes and that the footsteps were identical to the size of their shoes and in the face of that we have the warden telling that he was powerless to withstand the ush of the mob. But nevertheless the three men done to death by this angry mob were guilty—gully when the statement also says that the two white men had been trailed by the blood stains which followed them to their doors and that the footprints were identical to the shoes they were How Long, O God! When we read such things, when we cor template upon the measure that is meted out to us as a people, it is not unnatural that we are led to wonder how long. O God, how long! But we know that a change is taking place—a change that is rapidly transforming gloom and despondency to a brilliant ray of hope. A ray of hope is being noticed and observed on every hard. Prof. Kelly Miller tells a story of a friend of his, a member and officer of the Seventh Day Adventists in Washington. This man was a student of the Prophet Ezekiel and of the Book of Revelation, and one day he met Prof. Miller on the street and said: "Doctor, the world is coming to an end. In 1914 the world is going up in smoke." And Prof. Miller looked at him and said: "Well, doctor, if that is the truth, you have some pretty good real estate holdings in the city of Washington. Suppose you make that real estate over me, since the world is coming to an end and you are preparing to go." He said: "I am surprised at you, professor. Don't you know that the Scripture says 'Occupy ill I come'?" (Laughter.) So you see, whereas he had a very brilliant conception of the end of things, he was confident that it was his business to occupy until the time came. And so we are occupying, and as a result of the imagination of this wonderful movement of qure we intend to occupy even until the Saviour comes. Nothing shall stop us; nothing shall keep us from occupying until He comes; and we are going to occupy in a permanent way; we are not only to be satisfied with real estate holdings here, and everywhere—and let me say that real estate holdings do not prevent us from being lynched when they want to lynch us; real estate holdings do not keep us from being trampled upon when they feel like trappings upon us—but we are going to occupy the land of our father, wherein we shall be able to establish our own government, and THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 perform the tasks and responsibilities and duties of men. And as we contemplate the departure for a while of our great President General, may I ask, Mr President General that as you leave these parts for parts unknown—as you go out into the great world and come in contact with conditions that are not similar to the conditions here, and as you go down into that territory where those men were done to death, and as you go into Florida, where a white archdeacon of the Church of God was tarred and feathered because it was said he was preaching harryism to the degree, may God give you courage and throw his arms around you and bring you back safely to us while we occupy until you come (Applause). HON. U. B. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. U. B. Minister of Industries and Land was the next speaker He took as his subject 'Money or finance and as that ever since the dawn of creation money has played an important part in civilization, and ever since prehistoric times mankind has maintained a standard of mor. Money he explained, was defined as a medium of exchange and he went on to show how in ancient times before metal was coined into money commodities such as fish corn, ha and other valuables were considered as money and business was manipulated by the exchange of these commodities. As civilization advanced it was found that those commodities were too easy lost or destroyed in course of transportation and mankind reported to the use of metallic money as a result of which a metallic standard was established such as iron over copper and gold as a medium of exchange. This preliminary bit of economies Mr. Poston said was meant to impress the fact that whenever a white man spends a dollar or whenever he receives a dollar he is conscious of the different processes of evolution through which that dollar has passed, and when he spends or invests that dollar he is conscious of the conditions surrounding that dollar. When you see a white man buy a pleasure car or a diamond or a fine suit of clothes he is financially able to do so. Because of his business manipulations with money he has amassed fortunes, and when he buys those things he does so because he considers them the luxuries of life and not the essentials of life. That was not true of the Negro. Whenever a Negro is possessed with money he spends it, unconscious of the different processes of evolution through which it passed. It is a common occurrence to see a Puffman porter or a waiter in an hotel dressed in the finest suit of clothes with a diamond pin in his createt and a diamond-studded ring on his finger. Oftentimes you will find a man who is making about $40 a month possessed with a fine pleasure car. He does that because he is not conscious of the different processes of evolution through which money has passed. He is not conscious of the fact that money is the one essential through which industries and businesses have been developed, and he starts at the head instead of starting at the foot of the ladder. This condition could easily be accounted for. The institution of slavery robbed the Negro of the association with money and its evolution. He was given his food and clothing and he was cared for and knew nothing of business, and when he was freed the luxuries of life which he saw the white man enjoying he attempted to enjoy immediately after his freedom In handling money or in handling business Negroes must become conscious of the processes of evolution. When we shall have followed the same processes of evolution in business that other races who have been successful have followed then we will place better value upon money and upon business, and the quicker we do that the quicker we will bring to pass the realization of our program that is building a nation in Africa. MARCUS GARVEY ELEC TRIFIES YOUNGSTOWN, O. MARCUS GARVEY ELEC TRIFIES YOUNGSTOWN, O. By E. R. E. GILKES YOUNGSTOWN Ohio—Two extraordinary mass meetings were held in the interest of the U. N. I. A. at the Third Baptist Church, Oak Hill. Owing to the disappointment that was tendered to the executive secretary in securing a hall, and being notified at the last minute that the Centenary M. E. Church cannot be used by the Garveyites, the meetings were successful Long before the arrival of His Excellency and Miss Willis, of the Black Cross, the Third Baptist Church was filled to capacity. His Excellency and party were met at the station by Major E. R. E. Gilkes and Captain Jenkins, of the African Legtona after which they were motored to his residence. The meeting was called to order at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 9. After the singing of "From Greenland's Icy Mountaina," and a word of prayer from Mr. J.

FERRIS' ADDRESS (Continued from page 5) less of the fact as to whether the rest of the world agreed with her or not. The Negro's State is the Athens of America. For thirty-five years, from 1868 to 1900, Boston was the Black Man's Paradise. In those days L. H. Lewis was her leading tailor and Joseph Less one of her leading caterers. At his inn in suburb or Auburndale, Mass he entertained President Harrison and wife. In those days Governor Benjamin Butler appointed George Ruffin as judge in Charlestown, Mass, and Isaac Allen was elected member of the Governor's Council. In those days Joseph Wolff was signally honored by the Grand Army of the Republic and was later appointed by Mayor Fitzgerald as Fourth of July orator. In those days and shortly afterwards M. H. Lewis, William Mathews and other colored men won athletic laurels at Harvard. In those days Clement G. Morgan and Roscoe Conkling Bruce were elected class orators at Harvard. In those days George Washington Forbes was appointed assistant librarian of the West End branch of the Boston Public Library, and Philip Austin chief chemist of the Potter, Wicks Company, which manufactures Cuticura soap. In those days Boston was a mecca for representatives of Southern schools, poor students and mendicant colored teachers, preachers, lecturers and politicians. In those days there was little discrimination in hotels, restaurants, theaters and ice cream parlors. But now times have changed. The wealthy and philanthropic Bostonian became tired of listening to the tale of woon and the tale of the ups and downs of some poor student preacher or educator. And he is not as vulnerable on the sympathy side as he was a generation ago. But he is still ready to recognize and respect the black men of superlative ability and character, who can win their way through brilliance and force and can stand upon their own feet. The hour is growing late. The 8:35 p.m train will soon pull out from New Bedford for Boston. Our letter must be in the New Bedford postoffice by 7:45 p.m, otherwise it will arrive too late for this issue of The Negro World. So we must reluctantly close this article. Next week we will speak of the business outlook in the Hub, of the memorable U N I A. meetings in Masonic Hall and the Columbus Avenue A M E Zion Church, of the comprehensive program of the Boston Division, of the Cambridge Division and the programs of William Monres Trotter, Dr W E B Du Bois, Butler R. Wilson and the Rt Hon. Marcus Garvey. The meetings of the Boston Division were so large and enthusiastic, so many new members were enrolled, that we could not do justice to the division in a paragraph. The ovation that ex-President Charles Stewart and the writer received, the splendid enthusiasm manifested and the dignified manner of President Jordan P. Williams will long be remembered. So we will tell that story next week. BY ORDER THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 Bajo los auspídes de la Hali- Santo Domingo Independence Socie- ty es llevó a cabo en el Carnegie Hall de ceidad ciudad anulancia conferencia del honorable senador republicano William E. Borah sobre la ocupación de Haiti y Santo Domingo por los Estados Unidos. El Deseo de la Emancipación de Nuestra Raza y de la Libertad de Africa Se Acrecienta* Universalmente—Cuntrocientes Millones de Negros Se Organizan Para Constituirse en un Poder—Nuestro Gran Movimiento Adelanta a Paso Agligantado de Dia en Dia La platea, los palcos, balcones, galerias, estaban completenamente llenos de hombres y mujeres de todas las razas, gran parte de hispanoamericanos, especialmente de Santo Domingo y Nicaragua, aparte del gran número de habitantes que se destaca tanto en la plataea como en los palcos. Hora es ya de que realicemos que el readjuste por el bienestar y futuro de nuestra raza depende exclusivamente de la cooperación unida de todos y cada uno de los miembros que la componen. Hizo la presentación del senador en medio de estruidos aplausos, el señor Louis Marshall, de New York, hombre lleno de sinceridad, amor a la patria y de grande facultades intelectuales a más de su integridad reconocida. El señor Marshall, con voz llena de emotion y sinceridad, protesta contra la ocupación de las dos republicas americanas por las fuerzas militares de los Estados Unidos, haciendo un breve recuento de los hechos más culminantes de la ocupación en medio de las protestas de los pueblos ocupados. Por centenares de años hemos luchado individuamente por nuestra causa, con el solo resultado de vejámenes y decepciones. Vivimos actualmente en una época de cooperación, los individuos, las razas y las naciones cooperan en beneficio de una causa común. Estudiando detenidamente el desarrollo de los acontecimientos, notamos que se hacen grandes esfuerzos para la organización de grupos de razas, tales como trescientos cincuenta millones de indus, cuatro millones de irlandeses y doce millones de hebreos. Cuando el senador Borah se alko de su asiento para dirigir la palabra al auditorio un aplauso unánime estallo, prolongandose por largo tiempo, en todas las secciones del teatro. Al hacerse el silencio, comenzo por dargas a las palabras que le dedicó el señor Louis Marshall, y pausadamente, comenzo su discuro. Notamos ciertas naciones haciendo tratados de alianza y reciprocidad con otras naciones en beneficio de mayores ventajas tanto económicas como políticas. Esta es realmente la época mas oportuna para que hagamos un esfuerzo determinado organizándonos universalmente por el bien común de nuestra propia raza. En la organización está la fuerza. La fuerza que ha contribuido a los grandes cambios operados en el universo, ha sido el impulso del esfuerzo organizado y no la acción individual. Do quiera filjemos nuestra vista notamos que la organización siempre ha servido como factor principal en el desenvolvimiento de los acontecimientos humanos. El senador Borah comenzó por decir que si los Estados Unidos estiveran a punto de retirarse de los dos países ocupados, o tuvieron esa idea, el no hablaria sobre el particular, pero que sabia que no habia tal idea, que la ocupación se proyecta para siempre y que el honor y el patriotismo demandan de crear al pueblo norteamericano toda la verdad sobre esos hechos inconceibles. Que lo creía un deber, porque, tal ocupación constituta una disgracia, un descrito para los Estados Unidos. Nuestra raza ha marchado por centenares de años a la retaguardia del progreso, el mundo ha progresado de tal suerte, que se nos hace casi imposible encontrar en el un sitio apropiado donde podamos instalarnos con el propósito de desarrollarnos política y económicamente. Si permitimos por más tiempo que el mundo continue en su actitud agresiva de razas y organización universal, sin disponernos a tomar parte en los grandes cambios que se operan, en el transcurso de otro siglo nuestra raza, actualmente compuesta de cuatrocientos millones de seres, desaparecerá de la superficie del globo. El orador trajo a colación los principios sobre que habia basado la constitución de los Estados Unidos, el respeto al derecho de vida, propriedad y intereses de los nacionales y que no habla razon para que ellos mismos derechos se vulneran cuando se trataba de aplicarse reglas de conducta a pueblos extrafos. Debemos recordar que la política de las razas y naciones ha sido es y será no dar al Negro oportunidad en ningun sentido. La sociedad humana, ha sido regularizada de manera tal que vemos a cada grupo de la gran familia humana luchando por su propia existencia, a expensas de las desventajas de los demás. Ya seamos alemanes, ingleses, franceses, italianos, españoles, rusos, americanos o hebreos, notamos que cada raza y cada nación lucha por y par su propio beneficio. Es aconsejable el que notemos estos desenvolvimientos y tomos una determinación en beneficio de nuestro propio interés. Advirtio que no se trataba de cuestiones políticas o partidaristas, pues que fueron los democratas que acoimetieron la ocupación de esos pales en los ultimos aeses años y habia sido sancionada por los republicanos, actualmente en el poder El orando lano anatemas contral el departamento de estado de Washington por csa ocupación, desde cuyo departamento de marina, dijo, se gobierna a los pueblos de Haiti y Santo Domingo. Relató la llegada de los marinos a Haiti en 1915, sin motivo alguno, porque el pueblo haitiano no habia cometido acto de agresión alguno contra los Estados Unidos Apelamos a todos y cada uno de los miembros de nuestra raza para que con nosotros coopere adhiríendose al magno movimiento de nuestra organización. Por muchos años nuestro interés ha estado individualmente dividido, pero ha llegado la hora en que este sea convertido en un interés colectivo. A pie firme en defensa del gran principio que ha governado a la humanidad desde que Dios dijo "Hágase la luz." El principio de libertad, de democracia, de justicia y de igualdad. Por estos principios millares han luchado; por estos principios millones han dejado de existir. Tras los marines el empestrito y después de este los marinos proteger el pago de los empestitos. El secretario Hughes ha declarado que la protesta presentada par los veinte abogados de los Estados Unidos y la Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society is unilateral, pero en ese caso a el corresponde decir al pueblo a que otra razon obedeca la comisión de esos hechos inconcebibles. A nuestra próxima convención internacional vendrán de los cuatro puntos del globo, de los cuarenta y ocho estados de la Unión Americana, del Cánada, de Centro y Sur America, de las Antillas, de Europa, de Asia, de Australia y de Africa, hombres con la determinación de obtener libertad. Estos representantes de sus comunidades han de demostrar al mundo que el Negro es un hombre; que el Negro siente; que el Negro tiene alma; que el Negro tiene tanto derecho a disfrutar de los beneficios de la creación, como cualquier otro ser humano. Hemos arrebatado a esos pueblos—continuo—la libertad de opinion y de prensa y otros derechos Qué puede hacer el Japon en Corea que exceda a esa infamia? Cito casos de tortura, contentidos en los registros del senado, afadiendo: Preguntesse por que los marinos norteamericanos pueden ser tan crueles. Esa es la historia del imperialismo sobre el mundo y en toda la hostoria. Piénase que hay algo peor en los relatos de la India y Siberia? Ninguna otra raza en la historia de la humanidad ha soportado por tanto tiempo los sufrimientos de que hemos sido objeto. Durante los últimos quinientos años el Negro ha muerto aquí, allá y más allá en beneficio de las otras razas. El Negro ha contribuido a la construcción del imperio británico, al imperialismo de Francia, a la estabilidad de Italia, al engrandecimiento de Alemania. Voces desde la audiencia agregaron Irlanda, Nicaragua. El orador concluyó dicendo que el sios pueblos no tenían buenos gobiernos, eran gobiernos suyos, y que si quieríamos ayudarlos en es sentido, debia ser por el buen consejo y no por la conquista. Que debia tenerse presente que oprimiend lo el derecho ajeno se vulneraría el sentido propio del derecho y que ello envolva una cuestión de honor para este país. Desde épocas remotaas hemos venido contribuyendo a la construcción de naciones e imperios en todas partes, para los demas y ya es hora de que hagamos uso de nuestras energías en beneficio propio. Imperios han surgido e imperios han caido. Los imperios de Asiria, Babilonia, Cartago, Grecia y Roma han caido y otros imperios han surgido en sus ruinas. La concurrencia toda se puso de pie para aclamar al senador Borah. La Intérvención Americana en Cuha La historia ha de repetirse y en las ruinas de aquellos imperios caidos ha de resucitar nuestro propio imperio; un imperio fundado en los principios de justicia, igualdad, misericordia, amor y verdad; un imperio que revele la paternidad del Creador y la verdadera hermandad del hombre. Los rumores alarmantes de presentar en Cuba, en forma de avión. La alternativa, de un intención readjustamente económico de la intervención financiera de los Estados Unidos, fan sido reciclados categorically y autorizadasamente a Washoe. ington. Un elevado funcionario ocelal ha declarado que no ha habido mencion alguma, de fuente autorizada, de tal intervención en la república antillana. Y por el contrario, has afirmado que la administración de Washington está informada de haberes llevado a cabo ya en los presupuestos del gobierno cubino considerables reducciones de gastos en un esfuerzo supremo por llegar al vitalmente necesario equilibrio fiscal. Cuba viene atravesado una terrible y larga crisis económica, sin precedentes en la historia de la republiea. Las derivaciones de la guerría mundial han hecho pagar al pequeno carisma su consagración unilateral a una industria privilegada, la del azúcar. Todos, aun los que ahora actuan de más severos consores, ayudaron a fomentar artificialmente, a todo trance, durante las angustias de la gran lucha que exigía los allosados la reunión de las ayudas que pudieran obtener para triunfar. El día en que se estirba la historia económica de la guerría, se apreciara sin duda el papel importantísimo, transcendental, indicible que la producción azucarera cubana desempeñó los afos de la contienda. Más ahora la realidad sólo presenta aspectos desoladora para la bella laisa. Su siesta industrial, au comercio, el régimen bancario, y la economía entera de la nación han quedado trastornadas en su base, en el fracaso de la industria azucarera. A los desastres naturales del ajustamiento impuesto de repente y sin transiciones, hanse agregado, ademas, los escándalos de la especulación de aqui y de allá. El país ha sufrido en sus mas profundas bases económicas, y ello parece haber repercuido en la estructura general, como no podía menas de suceder. La administración del Dr. Zayas ha emprendido la tarea gigantesca de sacar la nave de su dificil situación. Los esfuerzos hechos hasta ahora aparecen no haber dado aun el resultado apetecido. Se producen nuevas fracas financieros y la crisis no se vence. Serán sin duda precisos resíteros extremos. Toda la energia y el patriotismo seran pocas. Para la labor de depuración fiscal de economía estricta y de pericia hacendaria necesaria, el gobierno de Cuba debe obtener el apoyo de todos los cubanos, sin distinción de partidos políticos, sin reservas de ninguna especie. En esta hora critica en que las dificultades de la república antilla aparecen como ensombrecidas por los rumores tenden deliciosos de-intervención, financiera o de otra indole, el deber de los patriotas el olvidar rencores internos y contribuir a la salvación del pais. Cuba, sin duda, vera la unión sagrada que otras naciones han conseguido en el momento decisivo, formarsebajo el sol de los tropicos para bien de todos. No seria compresible que un país de recurros naturales prodigiosos, de porvenir admirable, de historical heroico como la perla antillana, fuera barrida por el vendaval de una adversidad que si en mucho ajena a los actos y las iniciativas de sus ciudadanos, pueden ellos mismos, sin disputa alguna, dominar y vencer de modo decisivo. -La Prensa, N Y. La Enmienda Platt Segun Su Autor El Dr. Domingo Mendez Capote, prominente abogado, ex-muembro de la assembla nacional y una de las personas mas autorizadas para tra- ratar el asunto, he lao que la declar- tar siguientes acerca de la enmienda Platt que rige en Cuba: Es un problema ya viejo de es la enmienda Platt, del que se deas que vuelva yo a halar. Empezaré diciendo que esa enmienda me hizo pasar los días más amargos de mil vida. An aquella epoca, después de tantas luchas por alcanzar el triunfo del ideal cubano, una cosa así tan imprevisita, tenia que producirme hondo pesar. El jurisconsulto afira que se opusa a lo. El Drendez Capote fus presidente de la comisión formada también por Diego Tamayo, Rafael Portuondo y J. Llorente que fus a Washington a manifestar al presidente McKinley el disguito que la referida emienda habia causado en Cuba. Recuerdo, dice el doctor, que Elihu Root, su autor, no decija sobre la emienda Platt una frase grafica: "Esta hecha para afuera, para adentro." A seguida afirmaba Root que la emienda ni restringila ni obstaculizaba nuestra independencia. Siria Contra Francia Noticias recibidas informan, que los sirios, abrumando a los franceses con su mayoria, continuan atacándoles en el distrito de Hauran, al sur de la historia ciudad de Damasco. El sentimiento anti-galão ha tomado incremento a causa do que el gobierno francés ha ordenado el arreto de variales nacionalistas, con protexidas delictinios. Los bedrinos sin los principales instigadores de la actitud central del domingo francés. Los Cargos Contra el曼 datarlo Americano en Puerto Rico Mientras el presidente Harding parceo continuar instiendió aún en que el gobernador E. Munt Reilly de Puerto Rico, es un funcionario ejecutivo indomable y capaz, que goza de la confianza de la administración, el Sr Félix Cordón Dávila, conmisión residente puertorriqueño, sigue adelante con su campaña ante la cámara de representantes para lograr una investigación congregional de la actuación de Mr. Reilly en la isla. El Sr. Dávila ha declarado que no se suspendieron los taques contra el gobernador hasta que el alto funcionario abandoné su puesto por acuerdo propio o por decisión superior. Los cargos contra el mandatario puertorquero variande las a susacision de traficar con los empleados públicos, hasta la de aliares politicamente con individuos que se han jactado de sus tendencias bolsheviks y de su afiliación a la tercera international da Moscou. Las dificultades del gobierno Reilly en Puerto Rico, se recuerda comenzar apenas llegado a San Juan. Una de sus desventajas iniciales fue la de no hablar m entender el idioma español lo que ya orignó diversas series complicaciones. Después de varias dificultades, algunas un gran importancia, embarcóse para los Estados Unidos con objeto de conferenciar con el presidente Harding y el secretario de guerra, Mr. Weeks. Durante el viaje de San Juan a Nueva York el vapor que conduca al gobernador empeso a incendarse, haciéndose por algunos la induction de que el sintestro, que alcantó considerables proporciones habia sido producido por los enemigos del mandatario americano. Reilly permaneció en la capital federal algumas gemas y como no se presentaron cargos fundamentados oficialmente en su contra ante la secretaría de guerra, regreso a su puesto en la isla. Apemas asumidas de nuevo sus funciones gubernativas, no obstante, presentaronse otras dificultades, a causa esta vez de negarse el senado puertorriqueno a confirmar nombramientos hechos por el gobernador para puestos en las oficinas del gobierno de la isla. Al mismo tiempo que la tempestad politica se desencadenaba en San Juan, el合isióndo Cordova Dávila inciaba su actividad en Washington. Ante la camara de representantes penden ahora mociones para que se abra una investigación sobre la actución de Reilly. Al presentar una de sus requisitorias contra el gobernador el comisionado Cordova, retrocede hasta 1909, cuando Reilly era subministrador de correos de Kansas City y afirma que una investigación congressional de mostraria que Reily es totalmente incapaz para servir como gobernador de un pueblo de un millon trescientos mil habitantes. Un Pais Civilizado El problema del Negro inteligente en America, quien sufre la restricción impuesta sobre su raza por el anglo-sajon, ha llamado ultimamente la atención de las masas concientes, dice el Señor Bruce Bliven en un articulo publicado en el New York Globe. Comentando esta actitud el escritor hace referencia en su articulo a lo que occurría al talentooso artista de nuestrarache Charles Gilpin en los Estados del Sur, cuya población blanca no vería con agrado ni aprobaria la labor conclensida del Negro artista. Después de referirse a lo occurrido en un tren al artista Gilpin, quien tuvo que abandonarlo por no habráe permittido viajar en preferencia, "ermina el escritor diciendo: "A n enos que no tomemos una medida que contrarrete todas estas dificultades, ocaelonando inconveniencias a individuos como el artista Gilpin, debemos eximirnos en declara que el nuestro sea un pala civilizado." El Llinhumiento Condenado Por Les Mujeres de Texas Declarando que el linchamiento es la mancha en el alma americana, que no habra seguiridad personal sin la protección de la ley y que la ley y el orden deben ser mantémidos a toda costa, muJeraes prominentes de todas partes del estado de Texas se remieron en Dallas con el propósito de adquirir una solución cristiana del problema relativo de las razas. Los miembros del comité electro eran en su mayor parte representantes de las principales organizaciones civiles y religiosas del Estado, figurando en el grupo notabilidades del sexo bello. Se publicó un manifiesto basado en la condición del Negro en los Estado del Sur como un problema que afecta el bienestar de amas razas demandando para su solución anulé. As los principios de justicia y humanidad. Se adelgó por los detections de todo mejor, dando a ésta operación razonable y por un emblema principal moralidad que proteja a la mejor de todas las razas. Se Organiza en Puerto Rico Lign Agrícola Los funcionarios del departamento de agricultura de Puerto Rico, sefores Mariano Mari y C. Rios Lavienia celebraron una amabilia de agricultores para organizar la Liga Agrícola. En dicho acto tomaron parte cindadanos de prestigio conocido. Explicados los fines de le reunión y la conveniencia de la asociación, se procedió a nombrar la junta directiva de la liga, obteniendo el siguiente resultado: Para presidente Don Roque Estela; vice-presidente Juan Latayade; secretario Jose Mauras; tesorero Tomas Planasdebal; vocales Juan Ortiz y Javier Mauras. Se acordó hacer una campaña en toda la laíla para arraigar el entusiasmo y el interés entre los agricultores. En Pro del Reconocimiento de México Cuando el Dr Woodrow Wilson fue presidente de los Estados Unidos constituyó precipitadamente en defensor del principio del gobierno propio de naciones y pueblos, mas especialmente en sus relaciones internacionales y en sus tratos con el pueblo aleman, este gran principio fue subrayado ante la atención universal. El New York American tomó la libertad de adelantarse, por los menos en un descuento, a la sentata opinion de Mr. Wilson en este orden de ideas. Indudamente el Dr. Wilson todavia conserva los puntos de vista que en un tiempo tan acertadamente expresara. El pueblo americano comparte estos sentimientos democráticos, sin atencion a las affiliaciones de partido ó a los programas. El presidente Obregón evidemente representa el deseo espontáneo del pueblo mexicano en su elección de un gobierno y de una administración. La administración del presidente Obregón es, según todas las pruchas normales, el gobierno expresión de la voluntad libre de Méjico. En estas circunstancias, por que un gobierno de los Estados Unidos no ha de reconocer rápidamente al gobierno expresión de la voluntad libre del pueblo de Méjico? No corresponde a nosotros el decidir lo que debiera aer un gobierno de Méjico. Es oficial y privadamente el gobierno de Méjico, como el doctor Wilson cuando era presidente debiera haberse sentido consequentemente obligado a reconocer, y como el editor Harding, actualmente presidente, en relación con el mismo principio de gobierno propio de los pueblos, debiera seitirse obligado a reconocer. Cualesquiera que sean las diferencias entre el gobierno mejicano y el gobierno americano, en cuestiones territoriales y en cuanto a protección de los ciudadanos y propiedades de cada nacimiento dentro del territorio de la otra nacion, pueden ser solucionadas tan eficazmente después del reconocimiento como antes.-N. Y. American. La Resolución Del Problema de Razas Está a Cargo de Esta Nueva Generación En una conferencia basada sobre el problema de razas, el Doctor C. V. Roman, conocido profesor del Colegio Médico de Mehary, expuso su creencia de que tal problema ha de ser resuelto en los Estados Unidos de da América durante veinte años, por la nueva generación actual. Durante estos ultimos años—dijo el Dr. Roman—he notado que el Negro ha desarrollado clería pureza de corazón y el Blanco cierta liberalidad de pensamiento. Unidos esta pureza de corazón y este nuevo modo de pensar de la nueva generación, resolverán el problema que tanto ha perturbado la mente humana, toda vez que esta sea razorable. El Doctor Roman Nervo a la mente de su audición un sinnimo de datos de gran interés en relación con la materia, los cuales recibieron su aprobación.

Please send all available papers of recent dates, as well as letters and other documents, to THE NEGRO WORLD, 56 West 135th Street, New York City.] DOMINICA DOMINICA, B. W 1. April 20, 1922 —Mr. Arthur Welby Solomon (white), the popular magistrate for District E. and official member of the Legislative Council, was accidentally (7) killed while riding in a car driven by Peter Noble (white). Colonial Engineer Dominica has suffered a great loss by the death of Mr. Solomon, who was a man of the people. He did his duty well towards the people both in the capacity of magistrate and member of the Legislative Council It is rumored that a yearly tax of fifty shillings will be imposed on bachlers between the ages of 21 and 60, and also a ticket duty of five shillings on every ticket issued to passengers who are going to any place outside the Colony. At a recent meeting of the Legislative Council, His Honor, R. Walter, president, the compulsory vaccination ordinance was passed. The following are the most important sections of the said ordinance: Sec. 4. The father and mother of every child under the age of 13 years unvaccinated at the time of, and of every child born after the passing of this ordinance, shall, in the case of them unvaccinated at the time of the passing of this ordinance within three calendar months from the date of this ordinance and in the case of children born after, within three calendar months from the birth of such child, or in the event of the death, illness, absence or inability of the father and mother, then the person who shall have the carp, nurture or custody of the said child shall in the case of those unvaccinated at the time of the pass- ing of this ordinance, within three months from the date thereof, and in the case of children born after, within four months from the birth of such child, take or cause such child to be taken to the medical officer of the appointed district (in which the said child is resident) for the purpose of being vaccinated, unless it shall have been previously vaccinated by some duly qualified medical practitioner, and the vaccination duly certified and the said medical officer shall, and he is, hereby required therupon, or as soon after as it may conveniently and properly be done, to vaccinate the said child. Sec. 5. Upon the eighth day follow-up the day on which any child has been vaccinated, the father or mother or other person having the care, nurture, or custody of the said child shall again take or cause to be taken the said child to the medical officer or other duly qualified medical practitioner by whom the operation was performed, in order that he may ascertain by inspection the result of such operation. Sec. 10. The Registrar of Births and Deaths in every district shall on or within seven days after the registration of the birth of any child not already vaccinated within the district, give notice in writing to the father or mother of such child, or in the event of death, illness, absence or inability from sickness or otherwise, of the father and mother, then to the person having the care, nurture or custody of such child as aforesaid, to take care that the said child shall be vaccinated in the manner directed by this ordinance, and if, after such notice the father or mother of the said child, or the person so having as aforesaid the care, nurture or custody of the said child, shall not cause such child to be vaccinated or shall not on the eighth day after the vaccination has been performed take or cause to be taken such child for inspection, according to the provisions of this ordinance, respectively contained, then sum father or mother or person having the care, nurture or custody of such child, as aforesaid, so offending shall forfeit a sum not exceeding twenty shillings for each omission and shall be subject and liable to a similar fine at the expiration of each and every calendar month from the infliction of the preceding penalty, until the provisions of this ordinance have been fully complied with and, in the case of children born before the passage of this ordinance, all persons where duty it is to procure the vaccination of such child, shall for every omission so to do as required by this ordinance, forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding twenty shillings, and shall be liable to a repetition of such fine for every calendar month after the infliction of such first penalty, until such child has not successfully vaccinated, or the provisions of this ordinance in such respect complied with. Scheduled. A fee of one shilling shall be paid to such Registrar for each child vaccinated in respect of which the shall have performed the duties required in this ordinance. Scheduled. If no person who has not had a smallpox shall be employed in the service force of the said Presidency unvaccinated, nor shall any child be permitted to become or be received in the pupil in any school within the said Presidency unless vaccinated. Scheduled. No person shall be employed in the public service and no license as a nurse or peddler, or to retail run the public licuers or to act as boat-master within the said Presidency shall be planted to any person such person shall have previously vaccinated the smallpox or been vaccinated. Scheduled. All penalties by this ordinance imposed shall be receivable from the person responsible in a sum equal to the amount of the district rests. trair whose peculiar duty it is thereby declared to be to enforce the same or by any other person who may sue and prosecute for the same, provided, always, that in all cases in which there shall not be sufficient goods whereon any penalty of forfeiture can be levied the offender may be committed and imprisoned for any time not exceeding three calendar months. Sec 18 All penalties which shall be recovered under the provisions of this ordinance shall be paid one moiety thereof to the informer or person enforcing the same and the other to the treasurer for the use of the Presidency Sec 19 For every successful vaccination performed under the provisions of this ordinance the district medical officer shall be entitled to a fee of one shilling and six pence which shall be paid out of the general revenue of the Presidency Taxation is the order of the day Taxation without representation We wonder what next? "Whom the goals would destroy they first make mad CIVIL AFRICAN'S GRENADA From the West Indian T Albert Marryshaw's virile journal of recent date, we quote "THE PRUNING KNIPE" In a recent issue we made a few comments on the very high cost of governing Grenada and we hope this matter will always be kept prominent in the minds of those who are in a position to call it up for serious treatment. If not now tomorrow. If it is true that the emoluments of government officers in Grenada, range between £40,000 and £60,000, and if it is also true that the normal, dependable revenue of the Colony ranges between £80,000 and £00,000, we should set about to make government a paying proposition. The cost of governing Grenada is out of all proportion to the resources of the Colony, because after meeting the claims of the government pay-list for salaries, the balance is hardly sufficient for procuring supplies for government institutions, and little or nothing, therefore, is left to improve the social life of the people and to develop the resources of the island. "The object of government, we believe, is not only to find money to pay its staff and to do just those routine things which were done in the days of our grandfathers, but the object of government should be to make taxation, and increased taxation, of increasing benefit to the people concerned. There is one way in which we may make government a paying proposition, and that is to make taxation a paying proposition. "If it is true that we pay between £45,000 and £50,000 for salaries of government officers, we should be no cowards in the face of a great public duty, and that is if we show how we may reduce that figure to £30,000 or under without impairing efficiency "What we want is to have a few well-paid officers with a select junior staff instead of an army of ornamental figures with an unwieldy rank and file a few being scandalously overpaid and the many scandalously underpaid This is going to be the cause of a great struggle in Grenada, because the people must rid themselves of this incubus if Grenada is to prosper at all "After the great war, during a discussion of the merits of the navy, Admiral Beaty made bold to say 'Scrap the whole lot.' (We suppress the word he used before "lot", sufficient it is to say that that emphatic word 'once' described as "the nucleus of England's native eloquence'). So, 130, after our bitter experience in the economical crisis, through which we have not yet emerged, we see, that much 'scraping' should take place in the interest not only of economy, but of efficiency We should call a big conference on financial disarmament of the government of Grenada in a righteous effort to release many thousands of pounds for the improvement and development of the colony. "We pay for offices in Grenada, not for work, for names, not for efficiency, for titles, not for service. It is ruinous. Can we afford this? Surely not. Well, what next? We think we hear a new encouraging sound of music. What is it? It is the music of the grinding-stone whereon the pruning knife is being sharpened. The pruning limbs must be cut off, and limbs must be cut off in part and on other pruned limbs scientific grafting should take place—all, all for the good of the Tree of Stata. BARRADOS The visit of the party of Canadian manufacturers to this colony during the week has been much appreciated in trade circles, and undoubted proof of this fact was given in the very hearty reception which was accorded them. Their stay, of course, was very limited, but opportunity was nevertheless found to impress them with the genuineness of Barbarian hospitality and to convince them of the whole-hearted desire of the commercial element to keep trade as much as possible within the empire. No doubt their tour of these parts has proved for them an awakening. They have seen conditions for themselves and have received an education which all , the literature and propaganda it was possible to circulate could not have afforded them. There is no denying the fact that in many directions Canadian manufacturers have failed to capture our markets, because of their lack of THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 endearer to appreciate our needs, and to closely study and pay attention to recommendations which have frequently been made them by competent authority. Unlike their North American rivals they have been neglected of advertising, and have sparing in agents and canvassers. They have been too fond of indirect methods. And of that zealous and moticulous regard of detail which typifies their neighbors, they have been much lacking. Particularly in the art of packing and canning have they been most offending, paying no due regard to climatic conditions and other most necessary matters which are productive of success and return orders. Now that representatives of their various branches of industry have themselves heard of importers wherein the fault for lack of patronage lay, they will no doubt at once set about to remedy the defect. And with this remedying the defect, a very appreciable increase of business. The chairman of the Bardados chamber of Commerce gave several points upon which they might with benefit concentrate. Yet we know as a fact that his recommendations were not altogether new Mr. Flood, the Canadian Trade Commissioner for the West, has time and again paned on suggestions received from local business men, and, too as a result of his keen personal observation, made recommendations of much value. Mr Flood is an unobtrusive worker, but despite his lack of brass band methods in his manner of conducting his office, he deserves considerable commendation. Canada has served us well in the past and the determination here is, we are sure, to reciprocate such service in so far as conditions will permit. It is left to our friends the Canadian manufacturers to deserve it. The Barbados Weekly Herald. To the Fore! At Thursday's meeting of the Barbados Chamber of Commerce, Mr Joshua Baeza was most clamorous, and the jolt he received from the chairman was very deserved. In the course of the meeting Mr Baeza enquired why it was that a weekly newspaper should have been singled out for the publication of the program which was arranged for the Canadian delegates, to the exclusion of the daily papers. The weekly paper referred to ourselves. And we desire to inform Mr Baeza that, chagrined though he be, the Herald was not singled out for distinction. Such distinction as was the Herald's was due to the initiative of its staff and not to favor The Herald went, saw and conquered the daily papers lost through inertia. The program was not penciled until the Herald asked for it, and as a matter of fact, only after it was asked for several times. When, therefore, Mr Baeza claimed at the meeting to be in possession of the fact that the weekly paper was sent for and given the program, he made a statement that was not the truth, the whole truth, or anything like the truth. We would further, inform Mr Baeza that as journalists we appreciate the value of publishing exclusive information, whenever possible. And the original news which so frequently appears in the Herald is due to our appreciation of the liberal support we receive from all sections of the community. We are a weekly, but not a purely rehash journal—The Barbados Weekly Herald. BRITISH HONDURAS The Riverdale Estate It must have been some relief to His Excellency when Mr Geo Vipond, who recently visited the Colony, made certain offers for the purchase of Rivera-Dale Estate, an undertaking which has greatly handicapped the financial affairs of the Colony on account of the huge advances made by the government in an attempt to place the estate in a solvent position, which did not materialise although, as we understand, the returns of late have been satisfactory. Now when it was felt that this burden would be shaken off and the money invested be recovered for assisting with pressing needs of the Colony, Mr Vipond has telegraphed the government, cancelling the offer to purchase the property What will be done? His Excellency, when discussing the sale of the property recently in council, agreed that handsome returns were being shown under the new management, but as the Colony was not in a position to make any further investment which was needed to develop the estate, he was satisfied to dispose of it. The position, then, does not appear favorable, and rather than any awkward condition should again develop, further efforts should be made to dispose of the property. In the meantime business must be carried on as usual and as so much is said of the present management it may be possible to bring the indebtedness of the estate to a fair stand in the course of time should no purchaser be secured. Had Mr. Vipond decided to take over the estate and put into effect his proposals, it would have undoubtedly meant increased trade for the Colony, and possibly our connection with Canada would have considerably fostered, and unless some real business men in Canada can be induced to interest themselves in this Colony, trade will never develop to any substantial degree and the trade agreement which PRINTING AND PUBLISHING DEPARTMENT PRINTING OF EVERY DESCRIPTION For the Public and for Divisions of THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION WHENEVER YOU HAVE PRINTING TO BE DONE FROM A CIRCULAR TO A BOOK, SEND YOUR ORDERS TO UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION'S PRINTING AND PUBLISHING HOUSE 5G West 135th Street, New York City All Divisions Should Have Their Work Done by Our Own Plant Supervision Department Labor and Industry UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION now exists will never prove of mutual good. The effect of this is already being felt and we trust that the situation will improve. British Honduras is in need of foreign capital for its development, and unless this is secured its possibilities will never be realised. Inducement should be given to foreign capital. And if we cannot get it from Canada and the United Kingdom then an open door should be left to those who are more enterprising and are able to make investment for the good of the Colony and its inhabitants. The resources of the Colony are great but they must be explored and developed and this can only be done by capital and labor — The Belize Independent. CANADA-WEST INDIES STEAMSIP SERVICE At yesterday's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce a communication was read from the Colonial Secretary transmitting a copy of the following letter with its enclosure received from the Minister of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, regarding the mail, passenger and freight steamship service between Canada, the British West Indies and British Guiana. Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa February 21, 1922. Your Excellency — I have the honor to inform you that in accordance with the provisions of the Canada-West Indies Trade Agreement of 1920 (Articles X to XIV), the Canadian government, through the Department of Trade and Commerce, called for tenders on September 20, 1921, for a mail passenger and freight steamship service between Canada, the British West Indies and British Guiana. 2 Tenders were received up to noon of January 31, 1922. The only tender put in was from the present contractors for the service, the Royal Mail Steam Packet Co of London, England. 8 I enclose berewith copy of Order in Council No. P C 307, dated February 10, 1922 setting forth the principal points covered by the company's tender. 4 The Canadian Government found itself unable to accept the offer of the company to build four new ships, and perform a fortnightly service, in return for a guaranteed profit of 7½ per cent on the capital cost of the vessels, and therefore proposes to continue the present vice on the same terms and conditions for a further period of two years from April 1, 1922, subject to certain modifications which may arise if any of the vessels at present employed should be unable to run, requiring other vessels. 5 It will be noted that the Roal Mill Steam Packet Co. does not consider that the operation of a weekly service as contemplated in the Canada-West Indies Trade Agreement is economically practicable, on account of the present volume of trade on this route. 6 A copy of the enclosed Order in Council has been forwarded to the Right Honorable the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, with the request that he officially communicate the sense thereof to the governments of the various colonies interested In view, however, of the fact that this procedure will necessarily take some considerable time, and that your government is no doubt anxious to learn how it is proposed to carry on the service after March 31 next, when the present contract expires, I have the honor to inform you that stops are now being taken to renew the present contract for two years more, as indicated above I have, etc.. (Signed) JAMES A. LOBB, Minister of Trade and Commerce. RICE-GROWERS DIFFICULTIES Following on the meeting of Rice-Growers and Proprietors which was held on Sunday at Mahalca, a report of which appeared in Tuesday's Daily Chronicle yesterday at 2 p.m., a deputation of Rice-Growers and Proprietors headed by Mr J. A. Jaundoo and including Measures. W. L. Kowlessar Manawarkhan, K. Saywack, Amoer Chintaman Pundit and Gharbhar Pundit waited at the Immigration Depot on Hon. R. P Stewart, acting Immigration Agent General. The latter being engaged on other business of an urgent nature, deputed Mr. A. H. Hill, Chief Clerk in the department, to receive the deputation. Mr. Hill courteously received the deputation which presented to him (1) A petition from East Indian Rice Growers of the Mahalca district asking for similar aid to save the Rice Industry as was granted by the government in the case of the Sugar Industry (2) A petition requesting the governor to remove the Mahalca River District from the first schedule of the proposed Sea Dafenes Bill. (3) A petition requesting the Governor to give farmers time to adjust themselves to the new and extraordinary circumstances and conditions they are called on to meet by the declaration of a Moratorium which might be extended to them for such a period as His Excellency might think desirable. (4) A resolution desiring the Governor to allow the exportation of cattle from the colony. After listening very carefully to the representations made by the delegation Mr Hill communicates, the gist of the matters to the acting Immigration Agent General who made him give them his assurance that he was deeply interested in the subjects mentioned and would forward the petitions and the resolution to His Excellency the Governor with his recommendations thereon. The deputation then withdrew Later in the afternoon the same deputation waited on Hon J S McArthur to whom they presented the same documents. Mr McArthur gave the deputation a very careful and sympathetic hearing and promised to interview the Governor in the matter and communicate to them the results of that interview. The deputation then withdrew — Demerara Daily Chronicle. MR. EDWARD WOOD'S MISSION Mr Edward Wood M P Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Colonies Major W G A Ormsby-Gore M P, and Mr R A. Wisman Principal of the Colonial Office reached Plymouth in the steamship Orange Nassau on their return from their West Indian tour on February 28. Looking bronzed and healthy Mr Wood and his colleagues are enthusiastic over their tour. Leaving Bristol on November 29, they visited in succession Jamaica St Kitts, Antigua Dominica, St Lucia St Vincent Barbados Granada Trinidad and British Guiana On March 8 Mr Wood had the honor of being received by the king at Buckingham Palace a circumstance indicative of His Majesty's continued interest in the British West Indian colonies In interviews with representatives of the press immediately after his arrival Mr Wood stated that he had been in the West Indies at a time of great economic depression, but he was satisfied that the continuance of the existing preference for ten years would do a great deal to assist confidence and with a general turn of trade the West Indies would win through. Regarding British Guiana Mr Wood was especially emphatic saying that in that colony there were great possibilities of development British Guiana, indeed was crying out for British capital. All through the West Indies he had found a growing political consciousness, and in many of the colonies there was a desire for the introduction of the elective element into the legislatures. Everywhere there was the most striking spirit of personal loyalty to the king. The people had a great trust in the secretary of state but a great affection for the person of the king. Whatever we could do, by wireless cables and steamship, in the way of drawing the West Indies and the motherland closer together would be of immense value to the empire — The Dominica Guardian RELIZE The British Honduras Taxpayers Association is making preparations for the celebration of R Georges Case Day and has issued a circular to all the public bodies, societies, clubs, etc. inviting them to co-operate. A reply from the various organizations is requested by the 24th instant after which date a meeting of all concerned will be convened to discuss and decide on the program. We notice that the government is offering Jones property on Gaboureil Lane, purchased some time ago, for sale. It is difficult to understand what prompted the government to make such an investment. Let us hope it will not be as difficult as Sergeant Caye to get rid of - The Bellize Independent SOME ASPECTS OF THE BRIT- ISH WEST INDIAN TRADE The trade of those islands which belong to the United Kingdom is largely with three nations—United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. In 1920 these three nations imported from the British West Indies $111,000,000 worth, or $29,000,000 more than in 1912 of which the share of the United Kingdom was $73,000,000, United States $23,000,000, and Canada $14,000,000. These nations exported to these islands No member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be considered financial who has not paid the Annual Assessment Tax. Death grants will only be paid on account of members who have paid the Assessment Tax. Therefore it can only remain open through your individual support. Thanking for your past patronage and hoping you will continue to do your bit towards the UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY $28,000,000 worth, an increase of $41- 000,000, of which the exports from the United States amounted to $48,000,000, an increase of $18,000,000; United Kingdom, $30,000,000, an increase of $19,000,000, and Canada, $12,000,000, an increase of $4,000,000. In order to decrease the trade of the United States with the British West Indies and increase their own, Canada has made a treaty with them whereby Canadian goods will be admitted at a reduction from the regular tariff rate. In Barbados and Trinidad the reduction will be 80 per cent. In the Leeward and Windward Islands, 83 per cent and in the Bahamas and Jamaica 25 per cent. Even with this it is not certain that they will be able to exclude United States goods to the extent that they hope Canada has had a 25 per cent preferential tariff in favor of the United Kingdom on a large number of manufactured articles, and yet notwithstanding that Canada imported in 1920 seven times as much from the United States as from the United Kingdom United States and British Trade Compared A comparison of the trade of the United Kingdom and the United States with all of the West Indies in 1913 and 1920 shows an enormous increase. In 1913 the United Kingdom imported $30,000,000. in 1919, $146,000,000, and in 1920 $203,000,000. During the same period the United States imported $177,000,000 in 1913 $540,000,000 in 1919, and $055,000,000 in 1920, showing that the increase of the trade of the United States with these islands has been greater than that of the United Kingdom. In 1913 the United Kingdom exported to these islands $25 000 000. In 1919 $23 000 000 and in 1920. $73 000 000 The exports from the United States increased from $41 100 000 in 1913 to $421 000 000 in 1910, and $768 000 000 in 1920. As these two countries furnish fully 80 per cent of the trade of these islands, their increase is a good index of the great changes that have taken place since 1913. Even discounting the great increase in prices it shows that these islands are rapidly developing an important centers of trade. The percentage of increase of the trade of the United States with these islands has been greater than that with all the rest of the world. The imports from all other parts of the world increased 180 per cent over 1912 while the imports from the West Indies increased 438 per cent. The exports from the United States to all other countries in 1920 were 231 per cent greater than in 1913 while those to the West Indies were 373 per cent greater.
