The Negro World

FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The Negro now stands at the cross roads of human destiny. He is at the place where he must either step forward or backward. If he goes backward he dies; if he goes forward it will be with the hope of a greater life. Those of us who have developed our minds scientifically are compelled, by duty, to step out among the millions of the unthinking masses and convince them of the seriousness of the age in which we live. From Adam and Eve We are on the way either to a higher racial existence or racial extermination. This much is known and realized by every thoughtful race and nation; hence, we have the death struggle of the different races of Europe and Asia in the scramble for the survival of the fittest race. As we look at things we see that the great world in which we live has undergone much change since the time of the creation. When God created the world, and all therein, He handed His authority over to the two beings He created in His own image; namely, Adam and Eve. From the time of Adam and Eve the human race has multiplied by leaps and bounds. Where we once had two persons exercising authority over the world, we today have one billion five hundred millions (1,500,000,000) claiming authority and possession of the same world that was once the property of Adam and Eve. Nature's Inexorable Laws! The world today is not growing larger, but the human race is multiplying year by year, decade by decade, century by century. Where we once had two people to occupy the world, and they have multiplied into 1,500,000,000, it is to be expected that in another five hundred years these 1,500,000,000 will have multiplied into about three or four billions. What will become of the weaker races of the world when the world becomes over-populated with the different strong races of humanity? Is it to be expected that the stronger races of the world will inconvenience themselves by tolerating the existence of the weaker and incapable races? This is not to be expected. The Tragedy of Race Extinction When the Colonists of America desired possession of the land they saw that a weak aboriginal race was in their way. What did they do? They got hold of them, killed them, and buried them underground. This is a fair indication of what will happen to the weaker peoples of the world in another two or three or five hundred years when the stronger races will have developed themselves to the position of complete mastery of all things material. They will not then, as they have not in the past, allow a weak and defenseless race to stand in their way, especially if in their doing so they will endanger their happiness, their comforts and their pleasures. These are the things that strike the thoughtful Negro as being dangerous, and these are the things that cause us who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be fighting tenaciously for the purpose of building up a strong Negro race, so as to make it impossible for us to be exterminated in the future to make room for the stronger races, even as the North American Indian has been exterminated to make room for the great white man on this North American continent. The illiterate and shallow-minded Negro who can see no farther than his nose is now the greatest stumbling block in the way of the race. (Shades of Roscoe Simmons.) He tells us that we must be satisfied with our condition; that we must not think of building up a nation of our own; that we must not seek to organize ourselves racially, but that we must depend upon the good feeling of the other fellow for the solution of the problem that now confronts us. This is a dangerous policy and it is my duty to warn the four hun- NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 NEGRO BE EX RACE NOW STANDS AT CROSSROADS OF HUMAN DESTINY HIGHER RCIAL EXISTENCE DESIRED LEADERS MUST INSPIRE MASSES TO CLOSER KINSHIP BIG CONVENTION TO PRODUCE REAL MEN dred million Negroes of the world against this kind of a leadership, a leadership that will try to make Negroes believe that all will be well without Negroes taking upon their own initiative the task of bettering their condition politically, industrially, educationally and otherwise. The time has come for those of us who have the vision of the future to inspire our people to a closer kinship, to a closer love of self, because it is only through this appreciation of self will we be able to rise to that higher life that will make us not an extinct race in the future, but a race of men fit to survive. The Price of Leadership Those of us who are blazing the way in this new propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to enlighten our people everywhere are at times very much annoyed and discouraged by the act of our own people in that, consciously or unconsciously, they do so many things to hurt our deeper feeling of loyalty and love for the race. But what can we do? Can we forsake them because they hurt our feelings? Surely not. Painful though it may be to be interfered with and handicapped in the performance of the higher sense of duty, yet we must, martyrlike, make up our minds and our hearts to pay the price of leadership. We must be sympathetic, we must be forgiving, we must really have forbearance, so that when the ignorant and illiterate fellow who happens to be a member of your own race stands up to block the passage of some cause that you believe would be to his benefit and to yours as a people you will be able to overlook him, even though he fosters his opposition with the greatest amount of insult to your intelligence and to your dignity. The excuse that some of our most brilliant men give for not identifying themselves with race movements is that they cannot tolerate the interference of the illiterate Negro, who, being a member of the same organization, will attempt to dictate about what you should do in the interest of the race when his act is based upon no deeper judgment than his like or dislike for the person he is opposing, or the satisfaction it would give him to embarrass the person he feels like opposing. Many an able leader is lost to his race because of this fear, and sometimes we must admit the reasonableness of the argument; but, as I have said, leadership means martyrdom, leadership means sacrifice, leadership means giving up of one's personality, giving up of one's everything for the cause that is worth while. It is only because of that feeling that I personally continue to lead the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because like every other leader I have had to encounter the opposition, the jealousy, the plotting of men who take advantage of the situation, simply because they happen to be members of the organization, and that we may have to depend upon their vote one way or the other for the good of the cause. Not that some of us do care one row of pins about what the other fellow thinks, but when it is considered that we can only achieve success through harmony and unity, then it can be realized how much one has to sacrifice as a leader --- for getting that harmony that is necessary to bring about the results that are desired. The White Race We desire harmony and unity today more than ever, because it is only through the bringing together of the four hundred million Negroes into one mighty band that we can successfully pilot our way through the avenues of opposition and the oceans of difficulties that seem to confront us. When it is considered that the great white race is making a Herculean struggle to become the only surviving race of the centuries, and when it is further considered that the great yellow race under the leadership of Japan is making a like struggle, then more than ever the seriousness of the situation can be realized as far as our race is concerned. If we sit supinely by and allow the great white race to lift itself in numbers and in power, it will mean that in another five hundred years this full grown race of white men will in turn exterminate the weaker race of black men for the purpose of finding enough room on this limited mundane sphere to accommodate that race which will have numerically multiplied itself into many billions. This is the danger, point. What will become of the Negro in another five hundred years if he does not organize now to develop and to protect himself? The answer is that he will be exterminated for the purpose of making room for the other races that will be strong enough to hold their own against the opposition of all and sundry. The leadership of the Negro of today must be able to locate the race, and not only for today, but for all times. It is in the desire to locate the Negro in a position of prosperity and happiness in the future that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making this great fight for the race's emancipation everywhere and the founding of a great African government. Every sober-minded Negro will see immediately the reason why he should support an organization of this kind. If we will survive then it must be done through our own effort, through our own energy. No race of weaklings can survive in the days of tomorrow, because they will be hard and strenuous days fraught with many difficulties. I appeal to the higher intelligence as well as to the illiterate groups of our race. We must work together. Those of us who are better positioned intellectually must exercise forbearance with the illiterate and help them to see the right. If we happen to be members of the same organization, and the illiterate man tries to embarrass you, do not become disgusted, but remember that he does it because he does not know better, and it is your duty to forbear and forgive, because the ends that we serve is not of self, but for the higher development of the entire race. It is on this score, it is on this belief, that I make the sacrifice of self to help this downtrodden race of mine. Nevertheless, I say there is a limit to human patience, and we should not continue to provoke the other fellow against his human feelings, for in doing so we may be but bringing down upon our own heads the pillars of the tower. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is hoping that its Third International Convention, which will assemble in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year, will bring out the ablest men and women of the race, men and women intellectually fit to handle the great problems that now confront us. Men of intelligence are needed every hour to guide the destiny of this race of ours, and we do hope that our convention this year will give us the men that will enable us to pilot the ship of state to immediate success. Let every Negro help to make our convention a success this year. You can do so by subscribing to the African Redemption Fund, as well as to the Convention Fund. Send in your $1, $2, $3, $5, $10, $20, $40, $100 to help this organization put over the biggest program of the age. Write and send your assistance to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N.Y. U. S. A. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. THE NEGRO AS A MILITARY FORCE IN THE CIVILIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES President of American Negro Academy Brings Out Wealth of Historical Facts on African Soldiers' Part in Conquering of American Continent BY ARTHUR SCHOMBURG The West Coast of Africa, it is reputed, was the great market for African Negroes forcibly sailing to the American continent, to solve the problems of opening up the country from its mysterious silence. It was not a pleasant enterprise but a most daunting occupation in which Europeans had engaged. The charm of adventure and the desire to bird it over less cultured people minimed savages gave Captain Hawkins peculiar attraction, when Queen Elizabeth confirmed the right to engage in the nefarious practice of bartering human flesh in the market of the New World. The game grew by leaps and bounds from an innocent pursuit, it became a most serious affair, ending through avarice in terrible wars which were fought and are still fought to eventually strive for control of the entire continent of Africa and reduce it to impotency and vassalage. There was the jealousy of Albion against Spain because of her conquest, ending in the battle of Trafalgar and the dispersal of the Spanish Armada, then the Britons against the Dutch and French fleets and, no longer ago than yesterday, England in mortal combat with the world against Germany, who was striving for the extension of dominions over Africa untold and undeveloped natural resources. These titanic efforts have materially weakened the nations in their greedy anxiety for mastership and power, so that a few months ago, here in W shington, they were concerned in painovers over the immediate future, whether the sun, as in Dantes "Inferno", will gently, gently descend and set forever in the West, showing in its afterflow the deprivacy of war, the lust for power, oppression and tyranny, or whether with the new morn a new day of justice may glorify His name with a keen feeling for giving to each his worth according to his capacity. The New World was an open game preserve for any power to confiscate, and from these marauders enterprises of the Spaniards, Portuguese, English, French and Dutch grew up the notorious bands of pirates which for a long time dotted the Atlantic waters. There are names which we seldom can read without some lack of feeling for a nation which could tolerate such noble fallows as Hawkins, Drake, Morgan, Raleigh and others. The many wars waged from time to time in the New World made it a part of necessity for the Europeans' personal protection to arm their otherwise slaves in enterprises of warfare to protect them in the territory they were holding on the abstract idea of the survival of the fittest. The so-called savage, when helping his European alabaster brother in open conflict, was a soldier worthy of his stool, and won pouring praises for his prowess, but whenever they resorted to gifting against them for a pittance, they became criminally savage. The Negro as a soldier worthy of his mettle was not learned from the Europeans, the inherent qualities were inborn for generations, and are still observable in and among many tribes which the influence of the whites has not ruined or destroyed. In what is known as Cape Three Points not far distant from Axim, there existed what was then known as Brandenburg Fort, situated on a hill of four or five bastions and mounting some fifty guns. The Prussians held sway for a long time, and when they left gave the keys to an undiluted Negro by name John Conny, with specific instructions to give it up to none other than those who gave it to him. John Conny's duty was to exact tribute from all ships for the privilege of obtaining water. The Dutch claimed that they were given power to claim the fort, but John Conny would have none of this, though impressed by a man-of-war and a trigate that he must surrender. The Dutch bombarded the place and landed forces only to find John at the head of his men rushing from under cover outnumbered and cut them to pieces, paving afterwards the entrance of his palace with their skulls. John Conny was a servant to the Prussian Governor, John Atkinson, in his book "Voyage to Guinea," printed 1755 on board his majesty ships, swallow and Waymouth, finds him a strong-made man about fifty years, of a sullen look and commands the respects of all. To us he showed great civility, and we had returned his salute of six guns with an equal number. It is a very singular fact, that the remarkable deed performed by John Conny was in the eyes of the German Imperial High Staff so important an event that his case was used, to the members thereof, to excile their valor and stimulate their courage whenever they were placed in similar circumstances; at all hazards, to rather do than give up a fortress intrusted to their charge. The fast that John Conny was able to have his name recorded in the animals of German military history is not unusual a deed. We have Mouse holding defectively across the straits, the Failure of her once-impossible feat, which his officers could not scale until his Migrers gave Gilli explained to him the law and made possible the capture of the timorous rock of Dürigar, and for this intrigued and valorous deed the same under did well to reward his efforts by making the rite Gilli-rock thereon. It is a matter of historical interest on Friday, March 7, 1689 and June 1, 1689, the Gullies. King of Sweden, he head on his army, assumed the responsibility of settling the city, and affirmed, on the hill and surrounded by sea Moors under command of a courageous Negro captain the forces were compelled to surrender, but the Negro captain refused to give up his fortum, long headlong to certain painful death. With these happs) antecedents which illustrate a certain stranger in the mind to that of firemen, we cannot feel for a keen sense of joy in the careful make up of figures in whose eyes the African blood. The details of John Coy in Calico Tree Punts the great under-taking by Moors have been found in the capture of tribute and the Negro captain at the end of the Meeper personal visit to Spain have shown the background for possible alliance that the many tributes which have been labelled in Africa have enjoyed as fighters and warriors. We each the Zionists as an illustration whom the English were to give only one sorry hope and then the cold steel gave them a painful sensation at the slaughter of landwhihta Mountains where they also extinguished the carrion of the sea Napoleon. There still remains in my mysteries Africa as evidence-immittible evidences—that for centuries they have combated the aggressiveness of the Arabs the pirates of the sandy wastes and to this spirit of native protection and African tenacity of purpose we are indebted to the fortresses built to repel cavalry charges in the Great Zimbabwe belt which the historians except Prof Melver, of the University of Pennsylvania, have credited to every other race than the men born on the spot. It was therefore a Negro or negrid race of African stock, coming I do not know from what quarter, but possibly from north of the Zambal, who made these buildings in the northeastern corner of Southern Rhodesia. The African Negroes came to the New World, according to Prof Weener, long before Columbus' egg stood up to convince the learned professors of the University of Salamanca of the logical truth of his proposition. The historian Gomorra believed that the Negroes found at Quarea must have lived there for more than a quarter of a century. A little further peeping into the mysterious doings of these people is reflected in the ruins of monuments still extant in Guatemala and Mexico. Silent witnesses to the testimonial of the capability when aroused of sable-hued people. The Negroes which Gomorro mentions at Quareca were war-like people, and this was the primary element that kept them from being destroyed or dispersed. They held their own by pluck and native stamina. At the lathmus of Panama Negroes were introduced by the first conquerors. It is well to note that they were servants and not slaves. Before 1519 there were a large contingent of Negroes from Guinea in the said province to work the mines which the Spaniards had anticipated would rival any of the fabulous stories of the East. There is not a place were the unsupportable treatment to slaves brought about the compelling insurrection against their oppressors, and many Negroes found refuge in the woods and mountain vastness of their respective countries, where by force of circumstances they adopted a nomad life, always ready to protect those others who, like themselves found the labyrinthine hills an oasis against cruelty, oppression and tyranny The Spaniards have had their hands full with the bush Negro or Climarrones, in Panama, Jamaica, Cuba, Santo Domingo, and elsewhere, and the various insurrections in those places attest a silent testimonial against the method that obtained in those days in the administration of colonial possessions as nothing less than rank despotism. The courage and manliness of those so-called uncivilized savages in Panama during the year 1540 Felipilp made so much trouble that the Spaniards had to send an expedition to break up his forces, and it is said that from among the thirty prisoners which Captain Francisco Carreno brought in, one was quartered publicly as an example to the others. In the years 1553-55 the Negro became more bold, and Marquis Canute, who was then viceroy of Peru, sent a force under Gil Banóhes after the new Negro leader Bayano. We can say that Bayano's name is still remembered by a river named after him for his prowess and courage, he was afterwards sent to Seville, Spain, where he was supported from the public treasury until his demise. Negro soldiers under the Spaniards were in Mexico during the period of forcible subjection, and no doubt have mixed so well with the people there that, like in Brazil, no question is raised on account of color but merit, character and intelligence. Under the Spaniards the Negroes fought their way into Chile "over the great summits." It is not possible to imagine how much they were pressed both by cold and hunger. Here one would fail into the snow and be buried before he was dead, another would lean against a rock and remain frozen, just as if he had been alive. If any did but stop to take breath, immediately a blast of cold air left him fixed and immovable as if he had been of iron, and a Negro who had led a horse in his hand did but turn his head and stop to see who called him, as somebody did, and both he and his horses remained like two statues. "More than ten thousand Indians and Negroes perished in that awful adventure." In Jamaica we have the Cudjoe insurrection of 1782, where for more than eight years he held undisputed away and made the Maroons' name synonymous for courage and daring.

We desire you to tell your Governor and your court that in case they want to raise no new gangs of rebels they ought to take care that the printations keep a more watchful eye over their own property and not to trust them so frequently in the hands of drunken managers, and overseers who, by wrongfully and severely chastising the Negroes, debauching their wives and children, neglecting the sick, etc., are the ruin of the colony and wilfully drive to the woods such numbers of stout active people who by their sweat earn your subsistence, without whose hands your colony must drip to nothing and to whom at last in this disgraceful manner you are glad to come and sue for friendship" Stelman says that Chief Araby kept his word and sent down four of his best officers as pledges to Paramaribo. By this the peace was accomplished and a treaty of twelve articles was signed by the white commissioners and sixteen of Araby a black captains in 1761. Yet the next year Captain Muzinga, a Negro, for a supposed breach of faith fought desperately against the colonists. He gave battle face to face, and beat back at close quarters more than 150 of their best troops, killing numbers and carrying off all their baggage and ammunition. When the same conditions that were given Araby was extended to Captain Muzinga peace were for the third time declared in 1762 In the French West Indies we are particularly concerned with the revolutionary ideas which gave hope to the many Negroes who could gain their freedom and enjoy the blessings of liberty. The doctrines of the French revolution palpitated very markedly in the French speaking-colonies. The spirit of injustice was spread like wildfire by Victor Hugues, and to counteract the effect of this radical and prevent emblems of trouble taking root in her colonies England appointed Sir John Moore of Corunna, Spain fame to lead the vanguard of an expedition of 100 transports with troops and stores and a strong convoy of men of war to the islands. In Sir John Moore's diary I find that "the expedition on which Moore was now to be employed under Sir Ralph Aberrombie was designed for the reconquest of the West Indies islands partly from the French, but mainly from the insurgent Negroes whom they had armed and made enthusiastic in their cause by the proclamation of universal and immediate emancipation. The English attacked St. Lucia under Major General Albercrombie with 12,000 seasoned troops and the support of a naval squadron. Here the French with 2,000 well-disciplined Negro soldiers held on to the rocks of Morne Fortunoe with such tenacity and gallantry that has seldom been excelled. It took 11,000 men over a month to take Morne Fortunee DAVID8BORO. Go.

In April 1793 the Spirals did not escape the invasion and the rapping of General Atkinson. In 1795 he made his appearance before the jury. He was summoned before there had been dispute and other contries and judges. At the time the military under General Castro of occupied men made possible the effective defense of the city, forcing the precipitate embitration of the British forces, which was made up of some 1100 men of all ranks under Admiral Harvey. Because of the company life and valor of the men of the regiment he in the months of the Spanish government on March 1793 created the regiment of coast militia composed of three battalions and four companies.

The National Equal Rights League has pre- vented that Wm Monroe Trotter, who made it to the Paris peace con- ference against the edict of this United States Government, headed a delegation from the Massachusetts branch of the league, armed with a petition to Senate Lodge with thousands of sig- natures of his constituents demanding that he as Senate leader summon the party to action to get the Dyer bill on the Senate calendar soon.

With the remarkable history of Haiti fresh in our mind, her priceless services to the cause of the independence of North and South America through President Petion, whom the Venezuelan government has honored with a park and statue in one of its prominent localities. We cannot be silent spectators to the eloquent efforts made by Negroes in fighting in their own way toward the equality of opportunity in the various countries. From actual necessity we find them helping the flag to wave in defense of their respective countries' honor. For these meritorious and courageous deeds they have been rewarded by the Spanish Lord and Portuguese nation. We find only the English-speaking people having nursed an indifference to recompense the enormous contribution which these men on whose brows the faces of the burned sun had shown their mettle. Under many flags have and have and have left indelible marks of their character and stubborn, not in character as as warriors.

Mr Trotter can insisted that this Senate leader call a Senate Republican conference, if need be, to get that bill into the Senate before the summer adjournment. He stressed the recent triple burning at the stake in Texas. Senator Lodge replied that he had been presenting petitions to the Senate, but had not been asked to work on the Judiciary Committee before. However, he would at once urge them to act. If they failed he would then try for a Republican conference. One hour later the Senator's secretary telephoned that Senator Lodge had seen Senator Borah, chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the bill, that Borah had agreed to report the bill out forthwith and that it would soon be on the calendar. The delegation further assured themselves of the good news by calling on Senator Borah himself, who said there would be further delay, and that he did not believe in "killing" a bill in committee. He said the delay was not the fault of his sub-committee, which had simply been waiting for the "briefs" of certain lawyers of the N. A. A. C.

He declared he would report the bill on Monday or Tuesday. Before seeing Senator Lodge Mr. Trotter, chairman of the delegation, conferred with Representative Dyer, author of the bill, and acted upon his advice largely. Good!

This conference is the first of its kind to be held in the history of the demonstration and is regarded by the church officials as a distinct step forward in the development of Negro leadership for the 250 000 Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The plan has been worked out by Secretary W. A. C. Hughes of the Department of Negro Work of the Board of Home Mission and Church Extension, at Philadelphia, in collaboration with Dr. Meltin P. Burns of the Department of City Work in the same board of the demonstration. Director Hughes was formerly Area Secretary of the New Orleans Area of the Methodist Episcopal Church and as such attracted attention as a result of his race and was appointed to head the new Department of Negro Work when this was founded last year at Philadelphia. The Atlanta conference is the first gathering of his Negro colleagues called by Dr. Hughes for study of the special problems of city life and its pervasion to the activities of their church When the conference convenes prominent Negro Methodist will be present from almost every large city in the United States and a comprehensive program has been arranged Bishop L.

Columbia Records COLUMBIA GRAPHOPHONE CO., New York City By DR ALFONSO TORO, in Ethnos, Mexico City (Translated by Arthur E. King) The present at the originated in a conversation with the learned historian and my esteemed friend Dr Lola Gonzalez, Oregon, in which he called my attention to some unusual figures of the viceroyalty of New Spain recently published by the Official Center for American Study of Beeville. Up to now it was believed that the Negro race had had very little influence in the formation of the Mexican people. Dr Mora in the important work "Mexico and Her Revolutions," says "The number of Negroes who have been one of the centers which have entered into the making of the actual population of the republic has been very small and shortly after nearly all disappeared but the remaining few of them which were left on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts are entirely significant devoid of making any fear for the tranquility of the republic nor do their people possess any influence in the chance of their destinies. In similar terms nearly all the accounts dealing with the Mexican people from Baron von Humboldt to Prince Rowland Bonaparte are expressed himiting the influence of the Negro race to the coast of California and Guerrero, and to certain districts where they cultivated sugar cane known as the "hot territory." The statistics we have already mentioned and which have been published by Mr German Lattere with the title of "Census of the Population of the Viceroyalty of New Spain in the Sixteenth Century," in volume 4 of the American Colonial Library have come to modify radically such ideas. The documents included under the title are three. In the first one, a "Relation of All the Spanish People of New Spain," and in the last a "Memorandum of the Provinces and Peoples Which Are Subject to His Majesty in New Spain and Which Cannot Alienate Themselves from the Royal Crown Without a Recommendation from the Archbishop of Mexico." These documents are found in the General archive of the Indies, in Siervie, and with the exception of the second which was signed by Louis Malban, the rest are not signed. The three documents referred to correspond to the second half of the sixteenth century, without being able to discover the exact place with the exception of the third which is dated the 25th of February, 1660. Of the three the most important for our object is the first. The population of the districts of the principal bishops of New Spain in the second half of the sixteenth century was as follows Arkansashop of Mexico Spaniards 9 425 Negro slaves 10 595 Mestizos imitados 2 000 Mulattoes 1 050 Bishop of Michoacan Spaniards 1 035 Negro slaves 1 765 Mestizos 200 Mulattoes 200 Bishop of New Galicia Spaniards 1 270 Negro slaves 2 375 Mestizos and Mulattoes 150 Bishop of Tlaxcala Spaniards 1 531 Negro slaves 2 958 Mulattoes 10 Mestizos 20 Bishop of Yucatan Spaniards 420 Negro slaves 265 Mulattoes 10 Mestizos 20 Bishop of Oaxaca Spaniards 560 Negro slaves 451 Mestizos 50 Mulattoes 30 Bishop of Chiapas Spaniards 400 Negro slaves 130 If to these figures we add 8 000 If to these figures we add 3,000 nomads Spaniards we will then have in New Spain exclusive of Guatemala Costa Rica and Veraguas where 3000 more Spaniards had settled a total of 17711 Spaniards. The number of Negroes on the other hand without taking into account the nomads or fugitive slaves aggregated 18600 a number greater than the Spaniards. The desire to save the Indians was the cause of the introduction of Negro slaves in America. The celebrated Cardinal Cisneros was the first person who granted permission to bring Negroes to the West Indies in 1616 and many other literates followed this one conscience followed in the Indies and other places on the continent until the rate caused serious fears on the part of the Spanish colonists, and in place of an opposing the importation of eloxy humans it was only arranged according to the chronicler Herrera that nobody was allowed to possess Negroes without having more than three quarters of them Christians, and that they were well armed. Negroes on the arrival of the first arrival of New Spain were already very numerous, as much through the many degrees and contracts which various individuals had made with the crown as by the large contraband which was made in them, whether bringing them from Africa or from the islands. Therefore they were sent americas as well known during the viceroyalty of Don Antonio de Mendoza, they planned a rebellion which on being discovered on the 24th of September, 1537 was the occasion of a most bloody repression. The census we have examined explains the reasons of this Man had already perished on the discovery of the pot of the Spaniards having seen the danger of losing the domination of New Spain. The Viceroy frightened at the risk the white race had run, ordered various safeguards to provide against such a recurrence in the future, and, therefore entreated the king to send him a large quantity of arms and powder, so that a fortress could be constructed in Guinea and that no more Negroes would be permitted to be sent to New Spain. This happened in 1537 and if by the middle of the century the number of Negroes was so increased as to exceed the Spaniards, it must be agreed that either the Negro race was very prolific or that they were brought in by centraland From the figures given in the census that we examined, compared to the previous census, it can be said that Negro blood had entered into the formation of the Mexican people in a much greater quantity than has been imagined up to now, nearly equal to that which has been contributed by the white race, and not only in this manner but that mixtures of it with the Negroes and aborigines resulted in a predominance of white blood in the mixture, whitening as we have already said, the other races. In effect, if we take the figures we have adjusted to the census of the Count of Recillagigedo, we shall find that out of a population of 4 643 525 inhabitants, which was calculated for the viceroyalty of New Spain, there were 49 per cent creoles, that is, persons of the white race born in Mexico, and 2 per cent Spaniards born in the Old World. Baron Humboldt, having seen this census and that of Francisco Navarro y Noriega, and making the corrections he estimated that were necessary calculated in 1823 that the population of the republic of Mexico was 6 800 000. Of these 1 200 000 were white and only 16 000 Negroes. Figures which have been seriously considered and which if otherwise approximate, should indicate either that the Negro race was less prolific or that their offspring tended to disappear in the whites, in spite of the precautions the Spanish government always took, owing to the system of taxation, to classify as mestizos offspring of the union of whites, Negroes and Indians. For that reason, as is well known, they made minut- classifications, although very unscientific, in which the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 DR. DANIEL L. REED DELIVERS COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT BERTIE COUNTY COURT HOUSE CALIFORNIA OPENS ARMS TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY, DUE JUNE 2 products of the different races were known by various names, and the parish priests determined these as they served as the means of levying the taxes, and they ended by painting collections of pictures which represented the various types of mixtures in their usual occupations. These types were with some variations, those known by the name of muestizos, matutoses, zambos, salita atres, morsores, lobos, albinos, mambayos, cambuyos, albarazos, barcinos, coyotes, chamizos, alliata etas, no te-entiendo, to O the collection of pictures to which we have referred here there is one in Paris, which has been described by Professor Blanchard in the Journal de la Socio-este des Américaines, and two in the National Museum of Archéology and History of the City of Mexico which have been treated in the Annex of the said museum and in the magazine Etanos, and it is known that there are some other pictures in Peru. If we take into account that the law says the 3 book 4 of the Recollection on de Indias, prohibited Negroes and mulattoes from living in the Indian villages and that they were employed principally in the mining regions on the sugar plantations and as domesticers in the cities it should be agreed that it was difficult to mix with the aborigines or the whites. It was natural then to expect that in the large cities such as Mexico Zacatecas, Guanajuato and Patzuca that the Negro race has left many footprints of their passage but any impartial observer should be able to prove the opposite. On the other hand the persistence of the ethnographic characteristics of the African race manifest themselves in many of the mestizos of the Gulf the Pacific and the regions known as the hot territory In spite of what we have said it is possible perhaps if the physical characteristics of the Negro case disappeared in the high tablelands and in that part of Mexico outside the torrid zone, that some of the moral traits of the Negro race is conserved in their descendants, and a slight ethnographic study should explain many of the propenalties of the Mexican people. The missionaries, and especially Father Mendita, portrayed the Negroes as spiteful, hypocritical and always disposed to rebellion, and perhaps in its Negro blood originates the stubbornness of the Mexican people as to subjecting themselves to their government and their tendency to make revolutions All these problems are worthy of a careful study.

C.-Notwithstanding the continued rain throughout the day over a thousand persons thronged to its utmost capacity, the Court House of Bortle county, to witness the exercises of the group commencement of the colored teachers of that county. Intense interest ran high throughout the city and county, when the name of the Rev Daniel L Reed appeared on the program, as the principal speaker presented by Mrs R A Luton county supervisor of the colored teachers of Bortle county. The speaker for the occasion said that "the three most important essentials around which all others revolt and out of which all others grow are 1. cooperation, 2. education, 3. thrift and Christianity." From the first to the last word, Dr Reed clearly showed he was the master of the situation, and discussed his subject to the supreme satisfaction of all who heard his sound reasoning—clear logic and pleasing eloquence. Highly Commended by Judge Winston Judge Winston (white), one of the leading lawyers of Bertle county, for many years a judge and of the first families of Windsor, was present. He manifested so deep an interest in the address that it was very noticeable. In his response to Dr Reed's thrilling message, Judge Winston paid a fine tribute to the speaker and his race. Among other things, he declared, the address was wonderful of wholesome advice—brimful and running over with "truth," he shouted with an uplifted hand, adding that it would be a bless- (Special to The Negro World) (The Wesley C.

BY 'PASSIVE WAR' WASHINGTON, May 19 The Haiti Santo Domingo Independence Society today made public a cablegram saying Haiti had declared passive war against the army of occupation and a general boycott of American goods. The State Department announced that it had heard nothing of either. In declaring passive war the Haitian have taken a leaf from the book of Mohandas Gandhi the East Indian leader of the Non Cooperationists," who now is serving a sentence in prison. The cable said, "We shall decree civil disobedience effective in eight days (May 25) as an indication of our protest against pseudo-Government of Louis Borno (Newly elected President of Haiti) fundamentally illegal and sustained only by American bayonet American Government has been notified." The society also announces that "a general boycott of all American goods has been agreed upon, in protest against the American seizure of the Haitian Treasury and the forcing on the Haitian people, in spite of their protests, of a loan of $40,000,000 coupled with the pledge of the American State Department to Leo, Higginson & Co. that their interest in Haiti would be protected by the American Government during the life of the loan." In making public the cable, the society published a warning that peasant workers and land owners are also threatening that "if the American occupation succeeds in fixing the loan on Haiti, in conferring the alligation of land to American exploiters and in the maintenance of the military occupation, they will never permit any crops to come to maturity." It adds the alleged statement of an unnamed Haitian leader. "You may take our land, destroy our liberty and reduce us to peonage as farm laborers, but it shall profit you nothing.

The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the teachers parents and students of the Bertie County Group Commencement. Resolved. That we condemn lynchings of any person for any cause and we pray for the speedy coming of the day when every person in America charged with crime will have fair and impartial trial, guaranteed by the laws. That we exhort and urge our race to obey the law in every particular, and we strongly condemn the commission of rapes and attempted rapes upon white women, by males of our race, wherever charged. If such crimes be the excuse for lynching, let us unite to remove the cause. That the continued agitation of the race question, no matter where, does no good, gets our race nowhere and gains us no useful friend. That we urge our race to habits of virtue, temperance, industry and thrift. That we duly appreciate the confidence, encouragement and support our race is receiving from our white friends in North Carolina, and we pray for peace, harmony and friendship between the white and black race throughout the limits of our great country. only will be the order at the Auditorium where Garvey will speak. The other event will be the coming of over 1,000 Negro trained and other attendants who will be in the city during the Shriners' Convention. Preparation for the entertainment of these visitors is being made by the Negro Progressive Club of California, at whose headquarters provisions are being made for their accommodation.

MALONEY "The Difficulties," He Says, "That Stand in the Way of Regaining of Empire in Africa by the Negro Race Can Be Removed More Easily Than the White Race's Sense of Difference By A H MALONEY Our article of last week dealt with the problem of the inadequacy of economies to cope with the compa- problem of race friction in America. This week we shall approach the sub- subject from the point of view of religion. A consideration of the connotation of the term brotherhood would give us a start that might prove as ad- tageous as any other in this field. This word brotherhood has been used more universally and abused more frequently since the advent of the Christian religion than any word that is not technically theological. Men have summarized the Christian religion as the old rabbis and Jesus had summarized the Moslec law making of it two mutually inter dependent parts, like the Shamese twins. Analogous to the "Love God Love your neighbor proposition is the Christian proposition. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. On the former hang all the law and prophe- on the latter hang the authority of divine creatorship and the moral con- viction of enlightened man. The Christian faith is a most peculiar psychological phenomenon it lays down principles in one breath and in the next it declares that they can’t be put into practice. It glimpses in the grandeur of these principles and at the same time exonerates the votaries when they fail to measure up to them in life. It takes special delight in reminding you that an ideal realized there and then, ceases to be an ideal, leaving the alert mind to conclude that the religion would lose its attractiveness if it were over put into operation. So Christians take the Christian religion in the light that statesmen and politicians take the American constitution “It is too good to be true,” they say. “Let us frame it in gold, enshrine it on the altar of patriotism, and adore it while we ignore it.” So they say of the Christian religion. Let us love it though we may not live it. So with the summary of this religion, Brotherhood, we preach it in eloquent strains, we write of it in sentences of richest rhetoric but we do not intend or care to live it. And Why? Brotherhood negatives difference, it connote likeness and similarity. Biologically considered, brothers have identity of origin, sameness of spiritual antecedence and general environment. With practical sameness of birth and breeding there is a general sameness of character. But brothers, biologically, are not always brothers psychologically Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Ormuad and Ahriman, are all instances of this. But this fact is not infrequently overlooked by ethical philosophers when they attempt to build theoretical structures upon the unintelligible foundation of abstract brotherhood No one would venture to deny that physiological dissimilarity is more persistent, and hence, more potent than spiritual similarity. It is so simply because the former is objective, visible to the sense and always apparent. The chances for deception are reduced to the minimum. On the day of Pentecost, Peter turned in 6,000 converts as a day's work. Constantine swung the elective franchise of an entire empire over the religion of the Nazareth. Ethelbert of Northumbria changed his entire kingdom from pagan worship on the preaching of Colf. Sankey, Moody, Gypale Smith. Billy Sunday, all have chalked up to their credit thousands of converts, so-called. There is no scale whereby the genuineness of conversion may be weighed. Personal testimony and social sanction are the only criteria, and they are not infallible. Spiritual brotherhood is affected by grace'. It is voluntary. Physical brotherhood is the work of nature; it is predestined. Involuntary and fixed. Who can vouch for the reality of a change making for spiritual likeness? The history of defection from the faith, once accepted, runs parallel with the history of religion itself. The men in the world who can pass for cosmopolites are few. The bane of Christianity, then, is its crushing extravagance. It promises far more than it is competent to perform. It would include in its doctrine of brotherhood the entire man, while it would exclude from the practice thereof all that part of man that is concrete and empirical.

The while Christian who puts into practice the doctrine of brotherhood as between himself and another on a different race is just about as scarce as the providential hen tooth. Prof Steiner it his address published in the "Men and Religion" series speaks of the mutual attractiveness which is developed in men dress like and look alike and the feeling of repulencefulness just so soon as these seem to smell differently. Garlic on the breath of the Italian, for instance, is a constant cause of social slightness which thwart the free spirit of fragrance. But the full force of stubborn resistance centers around characteristics that are visible to the eye. The look nose and the gesture of the Jew, for instance often act as repellent force. The skin difference between the Muslim and the Negro, the difference of race, is the storm center of race prejudice in America. To the Anglo Saxon the stamp of Cain is on the forehead of every group different from his own. Men who regard skin prejudice and every other sort of prejudice as foolish are reminded that the thing is natural. They are showed where it holds true throughout creation. The principle of mutual attraction and repulsion they contend is fundamental to the perpetuation of life in the world. And then the rejoinder: That is standing on a rather low plane. In the field where consciousness is supposed to react upon nature and thereby engender more artistic enda man is expected to do better than what nature dictates. So has civilization progressed and culture been acquired. But what if the party of the first part persistently refuses to live on the higher plane? We have tried to apply their own religious standards in our appeals to their moral sense, and that has not moved them. They, themselves, have started race assimilation and have repudiated the fruit thereof. Shall we, then, commit suicide? That would give them too much pleasure it appears that the geographical distribution of ethnic groups, fundamentally is the only logical way out. The HEAR American Negro is more like the white American, spiritually, than the eastern and southern European immigrant, and yet be assimilates these latter without compunction in the second generation. The difficulties that stand in the way of the regiment; of empire in Africa by the Negro race can be removed more easily than can the sense of difference be driven from the consciousness of the white race. This race has never allowed its conception of the Christian doctrine of brotherhood to extend beyond the bounds of its own group. They are doomed for disappointment who would pin their faith in religion as a means to the solution of this dogged race problem. SUFFOLK DIVISION GAINS NEW SUFFOLK, Va.—The U. N. I.

THE NEGRO IN AMERICA History for May Dr Robert Russia Moe of Tuskegee Institute, has an article on the "America." In it Dr Booker T Washington, an endoscopic view of the "progress of the various organizations through which evasion." It bristles with statistics. No survey that will make the Wall Street Jones feel that their contributions to the King for Negro youth have not been spared of wet towel on the fears of rich people in religion among Negroes in America. "Wife life was infused into the churches, and in 50,000 Negro churches, owning property valued at $1,500,000 and written property valued at $1,500,000 and written $666." As of old, the Negro is churched a good citizen. That is the impression, who writes the word Negro who were still securely basking in the sun, calls the "restoration" period. Of the strong us, he mentions nearly all, giving out them, their leaders and their "good men is given a fine send off." "A splendid Negro press during the recent war is sheer Estate," which appeared some time in St Louis. The writer, Dr Robert, culminating student of contemporary literals, colored press claims—and right's—greatly shaking the various war measures and papers of every kind denominational, be their columns freely to the stimulating to race pride, exhortations to "go overion regarding the various requirements." With all this went a strong champion in purposes in the war—the liberation faces, the righting of old wrongs, the prevail. Didn't Dr Moton tell why Prof Ker'm in Virginia Military Institute? But no. Dr Or, on an afterthought, is he a submim the white bourgeois, to leave the not in the throes of a violent spiritual! Moton is not as shrewd as all that distinguished head of Tuskegee is out of race in America. At the bottom of the Moton's plea to white America Let static America, which we all love and love of our bravest and best gave their should give an example to the word means; it should demonstrate that the race, in the last analysis, is to be mean fair to the humblest and the poorest—too. Mr. Moton's plea to white America of Current History at the outset tell us authoritative survey of the progress of the various organizations through which evasion," and not a word is said in it about Negro Improvement Association! IN Current History for May Dr Robert Russa Moton, the eminent principal of Tuskegee Institute, has an article on the 'Status of the Negro in America.' In it Dr Booker T Washington's successor gives us a kaleidoscopic view of the "progress of the Negro in this country and of the various organizations through which he is working out his own salvation." It bristles with statistics. Non-controversial, it is the kind of survey that will make the Wall Street readers of the New York Times feel that their contributions to the wonderful work Tuskegee is doing for Negro youth have not been spent in vain. It throws a kind of wet towel on the fears of rich people aghast at the spread of radicalism among Negroes in America. "With the abolition of slavery new life was infused into the churches, and in 1920 there were more than 50,000 Negro churches, owning property valued at more than $88,000,000, with 5,000,000 communicants, against 700 churches, with property valued at $1,500,000 and with 600,000 communicants in 1866." As of old, the Negro is church-going, ignorant, non-fighting and a good citizen. That is the impression Dr. Moton leaves. Dr. Moton, who writes the word Negro with a common n, writes as if we were still securely basking in the sunshine of what he mysteriously calls the "restoration" period. Of the myriad "national associations" among us, he mentions nearly all, giving a lot of detailed information about them, their leaders and their "good" work. Even Negro journalism is given a fine send off. "A splendid epitome of the attitude of the Negro press during the recent war is shown in an article, "The Negro Fourth Estate," which appeared some time ago in Reedy's Mirror, published in St Louis. The writer, Dr Robert T Kerlin of Virginia, a discriminating student of contemporary literature, said The colored press claims—and right's—great credit for itself in pushing the various war measures and promoting drives. Papers of every kind denominational, fraternal, secular, gave their columns freely to the stimulating of patriotism, appeals to race pride, exhortations to "go over the top" and instruction regarding the various requirements of the government. With all this went a strong championing of our humanitarian purposes in the war—the liberation of subject minority races, the righting of old wrongs, the making of democracy prevail. Oh, why didn't Dr. Moton tell why Prof Ker'm was fired off the faculty of the Virginia Military Institute! But no, Dr. Moton is no bombshell thrower Or, on an afterthought, is he a subtle propagandist—out to flim-flam the white bourgeois, to leave the impression that the black race is not in the throes of a violent spiritual revolt? Away with the thought! Moton is not as shrewd as all that Yet the distinguished head of Tuskegee is out to champion the interests of his race in America. At the bottom of the article is a tiny paragraph—Mr. Moton's plea to white America. Let us see what it says Democratic America, which we all love and honor and for which many of our bravest and best gave their lives in the recent war, should give an example to the world of what democracy means; it should demonstrate that the greatness of a nation or race, in the last analysis, is to be measured by its ability to be fair to the humblest and the poorest—yes, and to the blackest, too. That, sir, is Mr. Moton's plea to white America. But that is not all. The editors of *Current History* at the outset tell us that Mr. Moton's article is "an authoritative survey of the progress of the Negro in this country and of the various organizations through which he is working out his own salvation," and not a word is said in it about Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association! AFRICA AND SOCIALISM ING the rule of Socialist pamphleteer Next Emancipation" is urging black and Mr O'Neal is on the editorial staff Frank R. Crosswaith, a Negro Socialist to the pamphlet. It is a scholarly It shows that slavery was not o white "indentured servants" as well footsteps of Karl Marx and Prince FOLLOWING the rule of Socialist pamphleteers, James O'Neal in "The Next Emancipation" is urging black and white workers to unite. Mr O'Neal is on the editorial staff of the "New York Call." Frank R. Crosswaith, a Negro Socialist, has written an introduction to the pamphlet. It is a scholarly presentation of historical facts. It shows that slavery was not only confined to Negroes, but to white "indentured servants" as well. Mr. O'Neal, following in the footsteps of Karl Marx and Prince Kropotkin, interprets history in the light of economica. In a very unconvincing manner he parallels the interests of black and white workingmen: "The capitalist master is a capitalist master, whether his skin is black or white. The wage worker is a wage worker, whether his skin is black or white. If the black worker works for a white master he does not improve his lot by working for a black master. The white worker is not a free man because a white capitalist employs him. He is robbed just the same as the Negro worker is." Mr. O'Neal, who is Irish, goes on to point out the equalities of white and black labor. As laboring men they are subject to the same indecentness, are under the heels of capitalist overlords, white and black; and so forth, and so forth. Forgetting that as yet, even if we were to give due consideration to his plan, white workingmen are opposed to the idea of working side by side with black artisans. Although men like Mr. O'Neal would retort that Samuel Gompers is reactionary and unheeded by the white laboring mob, we can think of no one else to support our view. Some time ago Mr. Gompers refused to welcome the Negro workers on the Panama Canal into the American Federation of Labor, not because most of them were foreigners, but because the Knights of Columbus and the Irish anti-Negro laborers on the isthmur objected to it. Mr O'Neal brings in Booker Washington No, he is not holding him up as the "greatest Negro that ever lived." Quoting from "Up from Slavery," Mr O'Neal in a very dogmatic way proves that Mr Washington was a capitalist and an enemy to the Negro proletariat. This is the worst injury, we feel, that could ever be done the belated founder of Tuskegee. Early in correspondent dispatch to the butchery of Bishop of De sentatives of faces Prote regret, I sha wreaking ve horrors of the Of Marcus Garvey and Africa Mr O'Neal devotes two thirds of the pamphlet "Suppose," he philosophizes, "that Garvey succeeds on his program of driving out the whites and creating an Africa for Africans. What does this mean for Negro wage workers who go to Africa? It means that Negro capitalists will own the mines, ranches, railroads, factories and other forms of producing wealth. The Negro workers who go to Africa will have to sell their labor power to Negro capitalists, just as they now sell labor power to white capitalists. In other words, Garvey would have the Negro aid in establishing a Negro capitalism in Africa instead of the white capitalism which now rules there." Why yes, that's exactly what we want. If owning railroads and diamond mines and vast stretches of agricultural lands means capitalism, we are in for it. Here is where Mr O'Neal makes a fundamental blunder. It may be all right for a minor white man to talk about the downfall of capitalism, a warless world, and a form of society where there is to be a maximum of artistic stimulus, but not so the Negro. The Negro is out to reclaim the stolen lands of Africa, to get in and enjoy it as God intended that he should. The Negro Socialists who support Mr O'Neil's view are young, in spiring men. Dreamy and idealistic and bubbling over with vigor and energy. They are all anxious to help the Negro in his upward struggle. The road is clear. Let us get control of Africa first. That is the primal thing. After that we shall be glad to listen to Mr O'Neal and his plans for the socialization of the continent.

As of old the charge is the conventionally hackneyed one—rape. Heretofore it was a sign of prudence and ripeness of judgment on our part to accept it as having a foundation of truth. Impassioned Negro leaders were inclined to believe it, to stand aghast at the moral degeneracy of Southern blacks. But these credulous days are over. The truth about conditions in the South is coming out bit by bit. Lynching must go. The news agencies dare not tell the truth. Back of every lynching, as expert investigators of lynchings and race riots know, is a cause traceable to the corrupt moral and political system of the South. There is hate and poison and venom in every one of us—and it is a just hate and poison and venom! Not as groundless as some of our drawing room radicals and social evolutionists think. As long as the South continues its maddening tirade against innocent blacks it is futile for white capitalists to talk about the "coming together of the races." No such thing will happen now or fifty years from now. What Southern Negroes should do is repay the crackers in their own bloody coin. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! Fight and agitate and lynch back, if need be! All this talk about Negroes raping white women is a lot of bunk—the malicious caterwaulings of the correspondents who send out lynching news. Dispassionate books like Edgar Lee Masters' "Children of the Market Place" and H A Shands' "White and Black" show that instead of Negro men raping white women, white men openly and brazenly prostitute the purity and virtues of black women and girls. We must face the facts. Northern black people must know that sex is not at the bottom of the Negro problem in the South at present. The only time it will be is when black men rise en masse and wage war on the licentious violators of black womanhood! It is the only way to stop lynching.

There is some justification for non-resistance in India, but not in the Caribbean republic whose natives "have a fancied design of the United States to rob them of their liberties and make them a subject people. A spiritual leader of the Gandhi type among the Haitians is not conceivable. The Haitian is either a politician with a blood lust when he is thwarted, or he belongs to the great majority of traders in a small way, non-skilled laborers, and cultivators of the land. The politicians are generally professional men, the ruling class they consider themselves. The great body of the Haitians would see nothing for themselves in non-co-operation, and a 'passive war'. Many of them are in the native constabulary, and many others are living on the military occupation." Now this is not entirely true. Some time ago an American white woman wrote an article in "The New Republic," pointing out that one reason why the United States remained in Haiti was the luxury and exotic life lived by the naval officers and their wives. Where else, she asked, could one get alligator pears, a half dozen servants, a fine limousine, and all on a second lieutenant's salary? Moreover, the "Times" ought to know that the occupation is maintained at the expense of the voiceless natives. PERSIA WANT8 AMERICANS American capital and Americans are needed in Persia to develop the resources of that country, according to Robert Elliott Speer of Englewood, N.

Mr. Speer has been in the far East and Near East for the last year, looking over church work.

Mr. Speer said there had been a re on May 20 informs us that "two used today, bringing the record total weeks." As of old the charge is the ape.

VERA CBUZ, Mexico, May $1.—The newspaper El Dictomen announces that it has been forced to suspend publication "because of the action of syndicates of workers." It declares that this is the beginning of a projected movement against newspapers with anti-Bolshevist ideas. The editors, it adds, have appealed to President Obregon for guarantees for their lives. Now comes the report from certain irresponsible "Americans" of the American Relief Organization who have been thrust out of Asia Minor by the Angora Government that attrocities have been committed upon the Greeks and Armenians, who have been driven from the country to die merely because they are Christians (2) and that a massacre of Armenians has begun at Karpop. It will probably be found that these "Americans" who out the Angora Government has ejected because of their Lurcophil sin are not Americans at all, and that the Tucophile propaganda which they were conducting was the result of their Greek and Armenian incidents. A donkey born in a stable is not a horse, neither does it follow that all those who boast of American citizenship are Americans. Furthermore, the fact that other American workers in Asia Minor have denced the reports eminating from the elected branch of the organization goes to prove that the gentlemen who were requested to leave the country were influenced by the Greeks and Armenians. The quoted statement of Dr Dillon, which compiled Constantine's vengeful thumbnails, is repeated in the recent actions of the Greeks. When they were given a mandate in Smyrna by the powers, owing to the hafeful influence of Sur Bazil Zarnakoff and M. Venzecos, the Greeks at once proceeded to massacre the Turco Muslim population in Smyrna with a ruthlessness which far surpassed that of which Constantine complained in 1913, and to which a commission, composing Americans, Legushmen, Frenchmen and Italians, issued a sworn statement that such atrocities had been committed. That the Angora Government should object to the appointment of a commission of investigation into these alleged atrocities is obvious, in view of the fact that such a commission would be pro-Greek and would undoubtedly spy out the land in the interests of Constantine and his gang of brigands who masquerade in the guise of Christians In the meantime Lloyd George has returned to his island kingdom, as I said he would, with the 'peace with honor' slogan. The powers having—as the net result of his super-political efforts—decided upon a three months' truce and a future meeting at The Hague. These tragic-comic antics of Britain's acrobatic Prime Minister, which are accepted throughout the so-called civilized world with such superficial evidences of universal approbation, only go to prove how impoverished the Europeans have really become in the matter of brain power. So beautifully has Lloyd George camouflaged the real objects of the Genoa conference that I do not believe there are many of those who acclaim his "skill" who really know or remember for what purpose the conference was convened. It is rather doubtful whether Mr. Lloyd George actually knows himself. The fact is, the disturbances in Ireland, the granting of semi independence to Egypt, the troubles in India with the resignation of Montagu—ex-Secretary of State for India—all combined to make the seat of the Anglo-Welsh Prime Minister a rather uncomfortable place. The Tories, who formed part of the coalition government, aided and abetted by Lord Northcliffe's publications, becoming restive under the dictatorial attitude adopted by the little Welsh lawyer, determined to get rid of him at any cost. What with high taxation in England, the high cost of living and the all around reduction of wages. Strikes were frequent and the country was in a condition of general unrest which required some immediate remedy. The Washington pact having failed to completely satisfy British public opinion, the government expected defeat at any moment on "a vote of confidence". Something had to be arranged speedily. The nimble brain of the British Prime Minister evolved another conference to gain time. It was a gamble. If he succeeded in accomplishing anything he would add to his prestige and go to the country with confidence in the result of a general election. If he failed he could blame France or some other power for his failure and the result would be the same. He now returns to England with a three months' "peace with honor" (?) pact. The Turkish question remains unsettled. So is the Russian question, and the German question and all the other questions that were supposed to be on the agenda. Yet Russia continues to arm. Turkey is still holding her own against the Greeks. India remains as turbulent as ever under a repressive system which presents a surface of superficial calm, and George, the Little, has been feted by the English populace. Verily the European statesman is a wonderfully inept product of a mediocre age. CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION FOREIGN AFFAIRS By DUSE MOHAMED ALI As we read the news of another lynching, it occurs to us that the violent attack of race upon race is perhaps the supreme futility of life. When the slave assails the master, or the non possessor takes up arms against the plunder, there is always a chance, however slight, that some good will come out of the contest. The weak can perhaps make themselves stronger, the poor richer. Power and property can be transferred from man to man, but race can not be so transferred, the race that is attacked and defeated is more race-conscious than ever before in Texas, white men recently burned three Negroes at the stake for an alleged attack upon a white girl. In Georgia, Negro men discovered that a white man and a Negro woman were maintaining what are known as "improper relations." The Negroes did not dare to touch the white man, but they lectured the woman on "race purity" and gave her a sound thrashing. In both cases the emphasis is on race, but race-difference is a thing that can not be eliminated by any attack that stops short of extermination.—The Freeman Early in July, 1913, Dr Dillon, "The London Daily Telegraph" correspondent in the Balkans, wrote that "King Constantine, in his dispatch to his Foreign Secretary, after having alluded to the butchery of a hundred notables, two priests and the Metropolitan Bishop of Demir Hissar, writes 'Protest in my name to the representatives of the civilized powers against the monsters with human faces. Protest to the entire civilized world and declare that, to my regret, I shall be obliged to smite these monsters with terror by wreaking vengeance upon them. The Bulgars have outdone the horrors of the savage ages, and prove that they have forfeited all claim to rank among the civilized nations.' Language of this kind," comments Dr Dillon, "does not impress one as a prelude to that peace among brethren which Dr Danee asserts is on the point of being concluded, neither does it supply Bulgaria's powerful protectors with ground for asking Greece to hand over her kindred to the mercies of her enemies who hate them with such praeter human intensity." These complaints and threats of Constantine were directed against his late co-conspirators in arms who had attacked Turkey at the instigation of Czarist Russia without the slightest warning or provocation and it was because the Greeks had turned upon the Bulgars in the second Balkan war that the latter retaliated upon the Greeks in Macedonia where untold atrocities had been previously committed by Constantine's men upon the Bulgars in that section of the Balkans ```markdown ``` SELF-EXPLANATORY April 18, 1922 Editor The Negro World. And what of Russia meanwhile? What of the preparations she is making to defend her rights? What of the Russo German military treaty while the solons of Europe are appointing commissions to inquire into alleged Turkish atrocities? The factories of Touba and Djewsk are now capable of turning out 20,000 rifles monthly as well as 30,000,000 cartridges. The Putiloff works are manufacturing shells, as is also Singer's Russian factory at Moscow, and other large factories at Moscow are turning out aeroplanes. The Soviet army at present possesses 2,000,000 rifles, more than 2,000 field guns, 600 pieces of artillery and 10,000 machine guns. General Brusiloff has become technical Soviet Commissioner. German aeroplane pilots, instructors and other technical experts are entering the service of the Soviets in large numbers. Germany and Russia are still on friendly terms with Turkey, that is with Nationalist Turkey, which is the only visible Turkish Government Enver Pasha, although at variance with Soviet Russia, as I have previously stated, has an army 70,000 strong in Trans-Caucasia. Russia is not content with her ostracism at Genoa. Germany is not satisfied with France's bellicose attitude over the indemnity. The larger aeroplanes which the allied powers are determined she shall not manufacture in Germany will be made in Soviet Russia. France has made her peace with Nationalist Turkey Italy to a limited extent has done likewise. Unless England comes to her senses and follows France and Italy, now that Egypt is a semi-independent state, she will be isolated in Mediterranean. A combination between Russia, Turkey Enver's 2,000,000, Slavonia, with France and Italy as onlookers while Germany supplies Russia with the necessary technical skill, might draw a sympathetic Afghanistan into the vortex of a new upheaval which would swallow up India on the one hand and on the other spread itself over Phasae and Macedonia. Then the raging human elements in Morocco and Tripoli will break their bonds, and Europe might very conceivably find herself in the clutches of the dark races whom she so greatly dreads.

I welcome comments and criticisms on all that I write regarding race problems and my work in relation to them, since I am conscious of short experience and great ignorance.

ACME PLAYERS GIVEN GREAT OVATION Never before has any group of players received a greater response from the people of Harlem than did the Arme Players, a group of artists trained and directed by Mrs. Anne Wolter of a dramatic school at Carnegie Hall, and Mr. George Currie. The players were presented by the New York Urban League on Friday night in a special midnight performance at the Lafayette Theatre. Much credit is due Mrs. Rosalie McClendon and a group of ladies who assisted her as patronesses in promoting this group of players. Although it was a midnight performance practically every seat was taken and the audience was one of the most responsive ever assembled in the Lafayette Theatre. Mrs. Wolters was cheered again and again as she referred to the obstacles which this group of players have struggled to overcome. "The only reason," said she, "that we are imposing upon you by asking you here at a midnight show is the difficulty in finding any place where high class productions of this kind may be given." She urged the establishing of an art centre where training in dramatic art or any other branches of art can be obtained by colored people at a minimum charge by best instructors. A pleasing addition to the program was the appearance of Miss Edith Spencer soubrette in "Shuffle Along," in a sole. The K. K. K. has scored politically in Oregon, we are informed by the news dispatches. It will now doubtless transfer its political activities to other States in the West, North and East in the endeavor to make WHITE SUPREMACY certain. The Negroes who imagine that they are the balance of power in any State north of the Potomac will have to reckon with the K. K. K. whose gunshoes methods are significant and continuous. Wake up, Negroes; the Philistines be upon us! BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN There are some people who actually lose flesh and weight attending to the affairs of others. They are everlasting talkers, drastic critics and poor doers. They are to be found in every race and wherever found they are pestiferous nuisance. Anybody can criticize, but it takes a genius to create something tangible and worth while. Our brilliant young friend M Eugene Corbie student of the College of New York who would rather talk than eat has recently been made the recipient of a distinguished honor by his white fellow students of the College of the City of New York by being elected as associate member of a college fraternity known as the Soph Skull" Mr Corbie is the only Negro student thus far who has been honored with this distinction. He is worthily the poet in ability and brains, of any of his associates in this fraternity and it has done well in recognizing the mental worth of this young student who is able to hold his own in oratory and scholarship in any group in which he may be placed. We congratulate the fraternity in adding to its list of members one of our brightest and most capable young men who has honored this fraternity by accepting membership in it. In the Republic of Intellect there is no color line. Man is mind and as such is neither black nor white. Mr. Corbie will he we are quite sure a valuable addition to this group of students and will just by his performances as a member of it the wisdom and judgment of his selection for the honor conferred upon him. We congratulate our young friend and wish for him even greater honors and we are sure that many await him for he is a conscientious and hard working student who is terribly in earnest and knows no such word as fail. The Campus official organ of the student body, makes this editorial comment on the election. Soph Skull" did better than was expected its elections on the whole are about the best it could have made. Every man who has been elected deserves the honor and (even if an) who deserve election have been left out. The number of honorary members elected was thirteen. Why they did not make it fourteen dependent sayeth not. Without security there can be no true freedom What security from wrong and injustice from the invasion of his civil and political rights from the lynching and burning of his brethren by organized mobs has the American Negro? There are fair questions and they demand and should have fair and direct answers. What other element of the American population is compelled, by force of circumstances, to appeal through mass meetings and conventions to the government whose mandate is the constitution or the enforcement of the provisions of that document which are clear and plain and unmistakably just for that medium of justice which it guarantees to a citizen of this republic but which does not throw the aegis of its protection around the Negro? Why must the Negro citizens continually be held in the attitude of a beggar at the gate? The Negro does not now and has not yet are emancipated from that slavery enjoyed the anno blessings of freedom and security for which he has constantly begged since the nation made him a man and for which he is still begging in realization of the incontestable fact that he is neither a man nor a free man that he is not yet the equal of the white citizen though the constitution declares him so to be and that his white fellow citizen has neither the inclination not the desire to make him so. We may as well face the truth and speak it boldly and the truth is that it is the settled position of the dominant race in America to retain its grip on the machinery of government and thus perpetuate its power in government to restrict the exercise of the alleged constitutional rights of the Negro within a certain compass, so that the security of the white man's power may not be endangered by the menace of the black peril which is gradually increasing in strength and numbers and threatening white supremacy. Dr Lyman Abbott venerable editor, lawyer clergyman and for some time chief editor of The Outlook" and who is looked upon as an authority, declares that "there is not room enough in America for two races alien to each other to live together in peace and harmony." Already there are plans being made to give greater emphasis to this utterance which is at once significant and eminous. We have now the K K and the Dyer anti-lynching bill in conjunction. The former is an active, potent, silent force whose plan of operation is unquestionably approved otherwise public sentiment, backed by the government within which it operates would silence and crush this enemy of freedom, this damning menace to the personal security of the individual now lulled to sleep in the belief that he is a citizen when as a matter of fact he is merely a "stranger and sojourner in the land" The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, if passed and attempted to be enforced, will be the red rag that will start the biggest internal revolution that this country ever heard of or experienced. In this connection, I note a news dispatch from Davidaboro, Ga., recording the fact that a mob of two thousand of the best citizens participated in the Lynching of a Negro boy 18 years of age for alleged complicity in the murder of one Mrs. Kitcham, a white woman. Think of it, two thousand white men, women and children gathered together to lynch one Negro boy. 15 years of age! What a sad commentary on southern civilization and chivalry. What Jemons and savages the type of white people represented in this murder mob are. A thousand Dyer Anti Lynching Bills cannot change the murderous instinct of these cattle. Almost before the ink was dry on the last item recording the brutal and savage murder of a 15-year old boy by a band of red handed barbarians, news comes from Texaskana, Texas, of another brutal and cowardly lynching of a Negro, which was witnessed by thousands, so the dispatch informs us, who looked on, consenting to the bloody, and ghastly, crime which makes it name Texas a byword and a blazing among the civilized nations of the earth. The Hairy Ape A certain man had a particularly well shaped leg and, at the same time an obsession that it was badly swollen. Be he sent for his physician who was an expert and had him make a careful examination of it. The physician of course did his full duty in the endeavor to ascertain what, if anything, was wrong with the man's leg. He pounded it, squeezed it, applied the needle to it each time asking the owner if it hurt and each time receiving the laconic reply "Nope." Well, said the doctor after a final test, which was as unaffairy as the others had been, there is nothing wrong with your leg, air. It is a perfectly normal leg and, in good condition. There is no swelling and no evidence that there ever was anything wrong with it. Then the man, looking at his leg proudly said "I know it doctor I know it. But aint she a danky." The critics of The Hairy Ape may make a similar discovery and then the box office receipts will soar to almost limitless heights through the free advertising given the play by art critics who do not know anything about art OUR LAUNDRY I have just been on a tour of inspection of the Universal Laundry, located at 62 West 142d street and was very much gratified with what I saw and learned there. I found it well equipped with machinery for doing the work that the building was undergoing a thorough innovation and being put in apple pie order for the reception of business. It is a beginning that it most certainly to be encouraged by our people and I hope that members of the organization especially will give it the support it seeks and deserves. It won't do for us as a people to preach cream and live skimmed milk to talk about not having freedom for our wings when we have every opportunity to exercise the freedom we are constantly preaching about. The Universal Steam Laundry with the support it should have, can be made one of the biggest paying assets of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and furnish employment to scores of women and men now out of employment If a company of Jews had a plant like this they would make it pay or know the reason why. Are we Negroes less far sighted and business-like than the Jews*? Are we less clannish and progressive than these people* I hope most sincerely that our people will wake up and take stock of themselves, that they will begin to realize that our opportunity is NOW Support the Universal Steam Laundry and all of its various activities in the same spirit and purpose that alien races are und use are supporting their racial enterprises. Every dollar we pay a white man for doing things that can be done just as well by a black man makes us that much poorer. If every patriotic Negro and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will rally to the support of the laundry the grocery stores and the two restaurants which are all distinctively Negro enterprises, the economic condition of our people in Harlem will be greatly improved. Your sons and daughters whom you have educated or are educating for the real business of life, will find opportunities in these various enterprises of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for making a living. Your patronage and encouragement will be great factors in helping to bring about this condition. In thus making one hand wash the other, we Negroes of Harlem will be setting an example which will be imitated by other Negroes elsewhere and before we know it, the struggle of the masses and the hundreds of thousands of qualified meo and women of our race who are now, some of them, living from hand to mouth, will be considerably modified. In the name of God and for the good of the race, let us "hang together," otherwise, we will hang" separately and be in the same rite twenty years hence that we are now in. Let us make the deed square with the world and quit ourselves like real men and women. It is our business and our duty to support all these Negro enterprises, and the greater support we give them, the more efficient and satisfactory the service, they will be able to give. Let us, therefore, resolve to make the effort to build up Negro business and see how efficiently and successfully Negroes can do business when properly sustained by a Negro public.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 By GEORGE TOBIAS Briefly reviewing the pages of ancient history we find the Negro centuries before the Christian era playing the most important part. Ethnologists and anthropologists have agreed that the Egyptians were the founders of civilization and that their writings and teachings have been handed down even to this day. But the advent of Greek and Roman thoughts which were borrowed from the lordly African were pushed to the front and the African for a time has been kept in bondage and in ignorance. Thus prejudiced and ignorant writers have beheld us claiming but not proving that the Negro was not the founder of civilization hence we find the dormant millions of our people the firelings and leaves of the other races. But the advent of the Universal Negro improvement Association has brought a new vision and new inspiration to the Negro, and he is now fully awake and realizes that his very existence on this terrestrial sphere rests with himself and therefore must exercise his knowledge and strength to maintain it above any compromise for self preservation is the first law of nature. The various statesmen of the ruling powers of the world respectively those who by force are temporarily occupants of the African continent) may argue that the Negro is incapable of self government but a close study of the governments of both Abbasiya and Liberia can prove to the world that the Negro, if given a chance can manage his own affairs. Political schemers and land-grabbers can no longer keep the Negro in ignorance. The flaush of the Washington and Genoa conferences is a true indication of the unsettled affairs of the world and is only a commencement that will ultimately end in another bloody war. In the meantime the Negro is thinking of the ancient glories of Ethiopia and is planning for the grand rehabilitation of his fatherland. Therefore let not the powers live in pomposity and arrogance, for the Negro is again coming into his own and will occupy his place among the nations of the world. SURGEON-GENERAL DEPARTMENT The Respiratory System The posture or line of reflection follows the outer margin of the vertebrae column. On the left side the line of pleural reflection corresponds to that of the right side as far as the fourth costal cortile, where it passes outward and then descends to the sixth costal cortile, afterwards following approximately the same direction as the line of the opposite side, but slightly higher. The surface marking of the right lung is practically the same as the line of pleural reflection as far as the sixth costal cortile, although it does not quite meet that of the opposite in the sternal region, but thereafter the line passes much less obliquely outward at the level of the sixth rib, and reaches the vertebra column at lower border of the tenth vertebra. Posteriorly it is practically the same as the line of pleural reflection. The surface marking of the left lung corresponds to that of the right as far as the fourth costal cortile when it passes outward along the lower border of the cortile to a point about an inch and a half from the margin of the breast-bone, it then is directed obliquely downward to the fifth costal cortile and turns inwards to the upper border of the sixth costal cortile, forming a larger notch. It then follows the same direction as on the other side. The lungs are molded to the walls of the chambers in which they are situated, the outer aspects receiving the impressions of the ribs, while the under aspects are hollowed by the phragm.

The left lung in its inner aspect has a deep depression in front molded by the heart, the bulk of which is, of course, on the left side. The left lung has in its substance deep fissures, and the right lung has also a secondary fissure running horizontally from the middle of the greater fissure of the inner border of the lung thus the left lung is divided into two and the right into three lobes. Each lung is attached on its inner aspect to the wall of the pleural cavity at the root where the blood vessel bronch, lymphatics and nerves enter and leave its substance. The terminal branches of the bronchial and irregular passages from the sides of which go off the air sacs. The blood in these capillaries is thus only separated from the air in the air sacs by the light framework of the waits of the capillaries.

Order PROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Uniforms People Talked About By J. E. BRUCE ("GRIT") A great deal of criticism, mild and otherwise, is made over the burning at stake of three Negroes recently by a mob of white gentlemen at a place called Kirvin, in the State of Texas. I think these criticisms are not only unjust, but are uncalled for. A man has a perfect right to do what he pleases in his own house, and these distinguished white gentlemen of Kirvin, Tezana, were in their own house when they burned these Negroes, who had no right to be in these white gentlemen's way. Besides, this is a white man's country anyhow, and anyone living in it who does not like the way things are conducted here is not compelled to remain here. It is the custom in the Southern States of America to burn "niggers" at the stake for striking white men, outraging white women talking back to white people or advocating social equality. They cannot and will not tolerate fresh Negroes or Negroes who are well dressed or who ape the manners of the white man and ride about his cities in automobiles, lording it over white people who have to walk. The burning of those niggers was one of the mildest forms that could have been inflicted upon them by these distinguished white gentlemen. Hereafter they propose to boil them in hot water and make soap out of their fat. This soap will sell and send the proceeds to the "Home and Foreign Missionary Society" to be used for the conversion of the heathen in foreign lands. The Southern white man is after all a big-hearted creature, for he is constantly thinking of ways and means to spread the Gospel of the Holy Nazarene among those who sit in darkness, especially those in foreign lands, where it is not universally preached. Shall we to men benighted the lamp of light deny? "No, not while there is a Negro in America to be used as material for a bonfire" say these benevolent gentlemen" of the South. Richard Theodore Greener is dead in Chicago, Illinois. Professor Greener was one of the first colored graduates of Harvard University, and forty years ago was a prominent figure in public life.

He was secretary of the Grant Monument Association in New York City, with an office in Broadway, and handled all or nearly all the money contributed by public subscription for the erection of the splendid mausoleum on Riverside Drive. He was also for some time United States consul to Vladivostok, Russia. Professor Greener was a man of fine abilities, which were occasionally displayed in his contributions to the press and to various magazines (white) throughout the country. He was too radical in his political views to make a good Southerner, so that his stay in South Carolina as a teacher in the University of South Carolina was necessarily brief. He lived in Washington and New York many years, and finally settled in Chicago, Illinois, where he died a few days ago after a life of much usefulness and service. When he was United States consul to Vladivostok, Russia, he sent me a very fine life-size portrait of the poet, Pushkin, the Byron of Russia, who, like Dumas of France, was of Negro extraction and proud of it. Clarance E. Muse did the trick phenomenal last week in putting over a comedy-drama entitled The Flat Below" with real Negro characters. The play was given at the Lafayette and attracted good houses at each performance. When it is considered that Mr Muse gathered his players for this show from among men and women of the race who, to him, "looked the parts he wanted them to play and that most of them had little or no experience on the stage and no dramatic training other than that given them by the producer in the few weeks before the play was given, he is to be congratulated on the success of his efforts in training this raw material and bringing out of it the latent dramatic talent which the company displayed on its initial performance. I am sure that as time grows and these men and women continue with their tasks they will become more and more efficient and capable interpreters of the parts assigned them. The constructive criticism of the playwright and his players is bound to have a good effect and produce good results because both the playwright and the players are keenly anxious to excel and deserve well of the playgoing public I had the great pleasure of seeing Your Own import your own industries and or Race? or every dollar you spend wi ent Association helps to strengthen Race.

The acting of these members of the cast did great credit to them and to an august that with a little more intensive study of their parts and practice they will measure up more fully to the expectations of the public, whose cordial reception of their initial performance was a most gratifying compliment to the author of the play and his company The public usually knows what it wants, and "The Flat Below" seems to be one of the things it wants. With the improvements that are to be made in this amusing little comedy-drama I predict that its reappearance in this city will be a howling success. I certainly wish Mr Muse and his company the success that they deserve and have earned by faithful and conscientious work in efforts to please the Negro theatergoing public. There are a great many people in the world who say things about others that they could not prove if called upon to do so in a Court of Justice, and it would be a pity to compel them to make the attempt, and thus subject them to the humiliation of being exposed as wilful liar. Since we know they are liars what is the good of rubbing in the fact? Let them lie. It is not so much what others say about us that hurts but it is whether we can stand it or not.

THE BERT WILLIAMS CASE—THE PSYCHOLOGY OF APPRECIATION—THE NEGRO SINGER—THE NEGRO IN DRAMATIC ART—THE TRAGEDY IN THE CAREER OF PROF. RICHARD T. GREENER—THE RISE OF COMPETITORS—THE INDUSTRIAL CRAZE 6 6 By BIR WILLIAM H FERRIS, AM. Assistant President General of the U N I A, and Author of "The African Abroad" Miss Jessie Fauset contributes a brilliant article upon Bert Williams in the current number of the Crisis. It is an eloquent tribute to the celebrated comedian and is written in the plaintive Du Bois strain. The same plaintive note may be heard in it that was heard in the "Bouls of Black Folk" and "Darkwater" and which struck a responsive chord in the hearts of fair-minded Caucasians. Miss Fauset's article is entitled The Symbolism of Bert Williams" Miss Fauset says "He could not forget his color and the limitations it imposed on him in his chosen field. In spite of his greatness he was unusually modest. He did not push himself he was tolerant in the presence of intolerance but he simply could not understand what it was all about I breathe like other people," he said "I eat like them—put me at a dinner and I will use the right fork. I think like other people In London I am presented to the King in France I have eat at dinner with the President of the Republic while here in the United States I am often treated with an air of personal and social condescension by the gentleman who sweeps out my dressing room or by the gentleman whose day it is to turn the spotlight on me "And yet it was here in the United States that a war was fought in the sixties about a certain principle it seems strange, doesn't it." And Miss Kauset thoughtfully adds "Others of us find it strange too. And then Miss Fauset says of the prairie heaped upon Bert Williams, by the prose of the country after his death. We were all proud to know of his pluots, we knew he merited them but with our pride was mingled a passionate strain of resentment." If the world knew of his great possibilities why had it doomed this stalwart, handsome creature to hide his golden skin his silken hair his beautiful, sensitive hands under the hideousness of the eternal 'black makeup' Why should he and we obgure our talents forever under the bushel of prejudice, jealousy, stupidity—whatever it is that makes the white world say: "No genuine colored artist, coons, clowns, endmen, clap-trap, but no undisguisedly beautiful presentation of Negro ability." The Psychology of Appreciation Now this is all very true, but a little light from psychology will help us out here. Until William James and George Trumbull Ladd came along psychology was regarded as an abstract science. But they showed how it interprets human behavior. There is a law in psychology known as the Association of Ideas. It works this way. If the first time you meet a man you see him drunk, the idea of drunkenness will be associated with him. No matter how well dressed, dignified and well behaved he appears afterwards, it will be hard to dissociate the idea of drunkness from him and to accord him the respect and reverence which would be otherwise accorded. In Mark vi, chapter 3. Jesus says "A prophet is not without honor but in his own country and among his own kin and in his own house." This is quite natural When Jesus came back to Nazareth and a preacher and prophet it was quite natural that his fellow townmen would not take him seriously or accept him at his face value at first. They first knew him as an ordinary lad, as the son of Joseph the carpenter and as himself a carpenter. The idea of being a workman and an artisan had become associated in their minds with Jesus of Nazareth. Hence it was naturally almost impossible for them to conceive of him as a demi-God, as a being endowed with supernatural wisdom, power and attributes. And we presume that it was the same way with the Caucasians in America, who in Bert Williams' lifetime did not accord him that respect and recognition which was due him as a man. It is difficult to regard a man you see as a clown on the stage as a hero off of the stage. It is difficult to accord off the stage the same respect and reverence to a blackface comedian who makes a specialty of the song-and-dance act that you would to an Edmund Kean, an Edwin Booth, a Richard Mansfield or a Joseph Jefferson, who plays the heroic or historic roles on the stage. A man who plays the fool on the stage would naturally not be regarded as a wise man off the stage. Consequently when the Caucasians saw Bert Williams-tall, stalwart, handsome and manly—off of the stage, the impression they had of him would be somewhat modified by the mental image they had of him as he appeared and acted on the stage. It was not a matter of prejudice, but the working of the old law of the association of ideas. The world has never accorded to clowns, comedians and fun makers the same veneration, thus it has to secrea, statesmen, scholars and prophets. Bert Williams was accorded so much recognition at his death not because of his grotesque makeup and his shuffling, chumbling gait on the state, not because of his physical metamorphosis into an unbe-limited field hand, but in spite of them. The magnification of his voice, his fragrant manliness and treasured reserve force made the specimen instinctively feel that he was capable of something higher and finer and that he had potentialities which were not given free plia Five years ago last winter a colored quartet sang the jubilee songs and plantation melodies in a Congregational church in Illinois in the interest of the greater Hampton Movement. After the meeting one of the singers overheard the wife of the pastor ask the minister who was in charge of the quartet. Have you any real colored musicians in Chicago I mean musicians who count? He repiled I do not know. That taught the singer a lesson. A few weeks later she sang in a white Congregational church in Wisconsin. She had on her repertoire two Negro spirituals, with their and, plaintive notes but she also added two sacred songs which pulsed with religious aspiration and rang with the exquisite note of faith triumphant. She thirteed the audience. The musical critic writing in the press did not speak of her in a condescending and patronizing manner but gave her unqualified praise and indulgence using a few superlatives and piling on the adjective attributes. In all note the singer catered to the kind of singing that she though would praise a white audience. But in Wisconsin she put forth the best that was in her and put out her wonderful voice. The result was that she scored a distinct triumph. Bornate Art. The Negro in Dramatic Art Mike is not a so-called hero. To say that the average Negro is the Negro artist at the critical critic would be unorthodox to state a truss whose depart meaning would not the immediately apparent. They among many the regressor charles toppin a rendition of the Imperor Jones caused a deep sense of irritation. They could not distinguish between the artistic interpretation of the type and the deliberate travestying of a race and so their appreciation was doubled. This a question and there is also a possible reason. When the average Negro sees a Negro conchain with blacken faced red lip at a goutque garb shuffling and shimming and gamping and cavorting on the stage or playing Emperor Jama he realizes that he witnesses the artistic interpretation of a type. But he reacts it because he feels that it is a low type rather than a high type of a Negro that is interpreted. And hence he regards the artistic interpretation of a type as a deliberate travesty of a race. And the average Negro feels that when a Negro artist portrays a Negro in his grotesque and ludicous aspects to get the plause of the gallery gods that he is catering to a race prejudice for a few times and shocked. The Negro more regards the darky and coon who plays the monkey as the typical Negro than the Jew regards the gorpediar as the typical Jew or the Italian regards the Launna vender as the typical Italian or the Irishman regards Pat with his broken vogue as the typical Irishman of course he realizes that a poet writer painter or actor can produce dramatic and pictureque effects by portraying the unusual types. Just a few years ago some prominent Jews protested against The Merchant of Venice because they felt that the character, Shylar, was a libel, a slander and a travesty of the Hebrew race. They realized that the character was artistically interpreted by Shakespeare and the actors. But they felt that Zhvlock was a caricature of the Jew and not a typical Jew. And they felt that the portrayal of that character upon the stance would have a psychological effect upon the audience and would result in a lowered estimate of the Jew. The average Negro is not narrow. He doesn't object to the Uncle Tomas, the mammies, the pickaninnies, the buck and wing dancers, etc., being depicted on the stages. But he wants the higher type of the Negro also depicted. He regards Tonissaint L'Ouverture, Sir William Conrad Reeves, Henry Highland Garnett, William Howard Day, Frederick Douglass, Alexander Crammell, Edward Wilmot Blydon, Duse Mohammed, Marcus Garvey, William Monroe Trotter and Dr. W. E. B. Dud Bois as worthy of prosecution on the stage as the banjo players and "Shuffle Along" dancers. If ever the career of a man offered abundant material for the dramatist, the career of Toussaint L'Ouverture certainly did. The Tragedy of Richard T. Greener Prof Richard T. Greener, the first colored graduate of Harvard, died at his home in Chicago on Tuesday, May 9, of cerebral hemorrhage. He won the First Bowdoin prize at Harvard for a dissertation on "The Tenures of Land in Ireland" and the First Boyleston prize for oratory. He served as principal of the Summer High School of Washington, D. C.; principal for the Institute for Colored Youth in Washington, D. C., professor of philosophy and logic in the University of South Carolina at Columbia, B. C.; dean of the law department of Harvard University of the Congressional Exodus Committee, secretary of the Grant Memorial Fund, U. B. consul to Bombay, India, and Vladivostok, Russia. He almost reached the four score mark and was in perfect health up to the age of seventy-five. On the surface his was a successful and happy career, and yet it had its tragedy. Frog. Greener graduated from Harvard in 1870, and lived fifty-two years after his graduation. He was in the limelight the first twenty-five years after his graduation and as one as of the very few stars of first magnitude in the intellectual firmament. With the exception of his appointment as U. S. coadjutant to Vladivostok all of THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. MAY 27. 1922 the big things connected with his name occurred in the first twenty-five years after his graduation. It was in that period that he held his famous debate with Frederick Douglas, when Greener urged Negroes to emigrate to Kansas and other Western States. Prof Greener had political aspirations, but failed to land a B Minister to Haytt I. B Minister to Bapio Homage. Register of the Treasury and Registrar of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Senator Banche B. Bruce dreaded him and caused Frederick Douglass to become lukewarm. Finally Prof Greener was appointed to a small diplomatic post. The war between Russia and Japan made it important in fact too important for a man of color to hold, and he was reared. When we met Prof Greener in our college days he informed us that he had had his career to go over again he would have remained in educational work. But when he dropped the class room for the political field he did not foresee that the Negro would soon come almost a political menace and that a Southern educator would be hired as the spokesman for his race. He felt that he was in his fifty-fifth year it was too late for him to go back to the teacher's desk. Prof Greener would have made a mark as an educator as he was interested in young men. Bishop John H. Heard, Dr. William A Binclair of Ithia, Pa. and ex Congressman Murray of South Carolina were a few of his scholars in the University of South Carolina, who are famous. And Prof Greener found their careers and the careers of his other students with a great deal of interest. The Rise of Competitors With the prestige of being the first colored graduate of Harvard and of winning the Howdow and Boulson prizes, Prof Greener had comparatively smooth sailing the first twenty five years after his graduation. He Prof Edward Boulet the first colored graduate of Yale who almost won the valedictory and Prof William S Scarborough, the author of a Greek first book for a number of years he held the prestige that Dr Du Pluin James Weldon Johnson and William Stanley Braithwaite to now But soon Robert H Terrell, Archball H O'rkine Cement G Morgan Dr W. L. B. B. Boa, William Monroe Treuer Roscoe Cunning Brace, Hill, Stewart, Dawley, Le Roy Locke and Carter Woodson came along, winning scholarships, graduate degrees, oratorical and literary prizes, making debating teams being appointed as commencement orators and being cloaked as class orators. And at Yale Henderson, Dickerson, Proctor, Foduma, Baker and Gregory of the Divinity School, McGinnia, Crawford and Smith-wich of the Law School, Porter of the Medical School, Pickens of the College and Miss Helen Hogan of the Musical School Likewise won scholarships and literary and oratorical honors. Then Hoffman and Wilkinson won the Ph D from Ann Harbor R. R. Wright, Jr from the University of Pennsylvania, and Haynes from Columbia University. Then Prof Kelly Mller loomed up as a mathematician and Dr Francis J Grunke as the theologian. Thus after 1890, as the years rolled on the fact that Greener had graduated from Harvard and won the Bowdoin and Boyleston prizes ceased to be a novelty and he could not ride into political and educational honors and into fame and prominence on those horses. It then became a question of the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest. Prof Greener had not been trained to stampede a Methodist conference with a speech. He had not been trained to wire pull for political, educational or ecclesiastical jobs. The honors and positions that came to him the first twenty years after his graduation from Harvard came naturally and easily, because it was so unusual then to see a colored man with a Harvard diploma and Harvard honors. The Industrial Craze Then in the summer of 1895 came Dr Booker T Washington with his Atlanta compromise, his industrial program, his crusade against the higher education of the Negro and his undervaluation of educated Negroes. Then Prof Greener, Prof Bouchet and other intellectual leaders were snowed under and the man who presided over an industrial school owned a block of houses and had a bank account, had the right of way Prof. Greener was thus a scholar and gentleman, fluent in speech, genial in personality and brilliant in conversation, who was living in a materialistic age. He was puzzled and perplexed for three years, but regained his bearings after his appointment as U. S. Minister to Vladivostock. He returned to this country in the spring of 1907. He was then sixty-three years old, bright and alert in mind and hale and hearty in body. He was courteously received wherever he went. There was no social snubbing. But Prof. Greener was not sought after and lionized as in days of yore. When the N. A. A. C. P was organized in the summer of 1909 he was not scheduled as one of the principal speakers nor invited to the inner council. When there was talk of electing a Negro president of Howard University in the spring of 1913 Prof. Greener's name was not seriously considered, nor was he called to a professorship. When there was talk of appointing a Negro on the Board of Education in Chicago in the spring of 1917, Prof. Greener's name was not seriously considered. Now these things could not have happened between the years of 1879 and 1898 Prof Greener did not worry about these things and made no public complaint. But he did considerable thinking and had he put his thoughts into a book he would have written Reflections Upon the Transient and Ephemeral Nature of Fame.

Usually this feeling comes after we have struggled against great odds and cannot see the desired progress we had hoped to see When this mood comes over us usually we are physically impaired sometimes hungry, and often on the verge of a nervous collapse.

SWAN LAND COASTAL WATERFRONT ```markdown ``` YE COLYMNIST In the June Coamopolitan, Montague Glass writes "Why is it a Southern friend of mine asked his colored servant that so few colored men commit suicide" Well, subh the colored man replied "when you white folks has got troubles, you sit down and think them over and the more you think about them the woeser they get, till at last you Jes can't stand it no longer and you go to work and kill yo self. But with us colored people, when we've got trouble we set down and think them over and we think and think, and you know what has happened when a colored man sits down to tries to think." He Jes' naturally is asleep. If this is meant for a pun we to see the humor in it. Possible Glass collected this fifteen or tw years ago and put it away in a scrap look. It is a well-known fact, and freely admitted by the whites, that, somehow, the colored man in general never seems to have any worries. Not so much be because he has no troubles of his own but he simply will not allow his troubles to dominate him. Yet his stirling care free demeanor creates the impression of a troublesome ex- istence. He will get in a crap game, poker hand jack or last but not least more living which is conceded to be the king of sports.

Then a handful of Negroes came, living somewhere between 131st and 132nd Street. Litter houses were erected tenanted by whites. But the Negroes were coming, gradually they spread out coming from all lands. And ask it them today! Why, we remember only a few years ago when there was not more than one or two counted families living on Seventh Street. Now they are reaching over to past and way to new streets. Had there been a certain to the thing on their side where would the Negroes be told that people must not enourish their brittle can accuse of being stagnant. It must assuredly be a strong denial. It can only be hurled in the form of a challenge. And such a challenge can be met with achievement or bet.

May 21 — Reports coming from various parts of the country by telegraph, correspondence and personally from the field workers as they return to headquarters, indicate the fact that a great wave of enthusiasm for the cause of the U N I A is spreading broadcast throughout the country, that the association is increasing its membership by thousands day after day in spite of the influence that are subtly at work to impede its progress, and that the coming convention will bring together some of the ablest, most distinguished and influential men of the race, who will participate in discussing the vital problems confronting the race with a view to bringing about changed conditions that will raise the status of the Negro and accord him a place among the nations of the world. News of this nature was given out at Liberty Hall tonight by Hon. R. L. Poston. Assistant Secretary-General, who has just returned from the State of New Jersey whither he had been assigned, from Rev Dr Maloney, who made a flying visit to Philadelphia and addressed a monster meeting there, and by telegraph from the President-General (Hon. Marcus Garvey), and Captain Gaines, Minister of Legions Needless to say, these reports were received with the greatest alacrity by the vast audience assembled in Liberty Hall and gave the large membership of the New York local added impetus and inspiration to press forward and redouble their efforts to keep ahead of the other divisions in this country and in other parts of the world. The telegram received from the President... general read as follows "Oklahoma City, Okla., May 20, 1922 Chairman, Liberty Hall 120 West 128th street, New York -- Convey my best wishes to members and friends at Liberty Hall. Tell them that Western ern and Southern States are all going strong for I N A A New York will have to brush up on pass enthusiasm of Mid Western Western and Southern delegations to convention Whole country living up for a big week Let New York main in the lead Greetings from Oklahoma City (Signed) Garvey.

L. Poston Rev. Dr Malone) Hon Emmel Carter (chairman of the meeting, and Sir George Tobias treasurer of the L N I A. The addresses, though brief, were full of force and thought and each speaker paid a deserving tribute to the genius and intelligent leadership of the Hon Marcus Garvey while the audience voiced their approval of the sentiments expressed by applauding vociferously whenever his name was mentioned Mr Postons remarks were confined to his observations of the impressions received by him of the enthusiasm of the people in Camden, New Jersey, Atlantic City and Trenton from whence he had just returned Rev Dr Maloney gave a brilliant discourse on the subject. The Essentials of Greatness, and Hon G Emonel Carter delivered a message from the theme "Our Heritage. The addresses are appended below and must be read in full in order that their intrinsic merits may be appreciated. A visitor in the person of Mr Ford attended Liberty Hall tonight and was introduced by the chairman as a field worker of the association who had organized the first division of the U. N. I. A. in the Philippine Islands. REV. DR. MALONEY SPEAKS REV. DR MALONEY SPEAKS Rev Dr Maloney spoke as follows Mr Chairman Members of the Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Local and Friends— As I rise to speak to you tonight I bring you the greetings of the Philadelphia Division which I had the good pleasure to visit today and speak before a monster meeting, and I can vouch for the real enthusiasm of the people there towards the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the grip it has on the people of Philadelphia. The Essentials of Greatness My subject to you tonight for a few moments is "The Essentials of Greatness." As we think of greatness it will be well for us to make a contrast between greatness and notoriety and popularity and fame. Notoriety is just simply the fixing of oneself in order to outdo someone else in a criminal way. Popularity means the utilization of the aims of a people or a group for the end of the person who seeks to be popular. Fame is the utilization of one mental moral or intellectual force for the common good with --- one single to the individual who is utilizing it. But greatness is ultimately centered in the core of personality these other qualities degrade or disfigure personality but greatness is of the very warp and woof of personality. Ponsi can be notorious, Jack Johnson can be popular Napoleon can be famous, but it takes one like Socrates, one like Savonarola, one like Servitius, one like Jesus Christ, one like Marcus Garvey to be really great. I say it takes the core of the personality—where greatness really lies—for one to manifest to the world the sentiment and the inspiration that really counts. I think of Socrates as he stood before his assailants and drank to the very dregs the bitter hemlock which meant his death. I think of Servitus as he sat in the marketplace and permitted himself to be done to death because of the ideal of his life. I think of Savonarola as he stood before the great chieftains of Florence and permitted himself to be burned rather than to sacrifice or to in the least give up one whit of his ideal. I think of Jesus as he wended his way up to Mount Calvary, refusing to oater to the whims of his people—refusing to allow himself to be bought or sold by the so-called leaders of Israel—but wending his way to Calvary to be crucified The Greatness of Marcus Garvey The Greatness of Marcus Garvey I tell you that one of the things that caused me to really love and revere this great leader of ours (Marcus Garvey) is after reading of the way in which he presented himself on the occasion of the meeting of the stockholders after he had been shot—as he walked into that meeting on crutches in order to demonstrate to the people that—Though you might kill me in body my ideal remains intact and unassailable and it makes no difference what you think of me individually, it makes no difference what you think of the man, but so long as you tamper not with the ideal of his soul, then and then only shall he let you alone. That was one of the things that drew me to him. I had always believed in the principles of the Universal Negro improvement Association. Way back in 1812 when I was editor of the Atlantic Advocate I used to write sentiments along those lines and I remember that when the first international convention adjourned the Fraternal Advocate, of which I was editor then, gave a whole number of its issue to commenting on this great convention Another thing that drew me to Hon Marcus Garvey was that when he was assailed in one of the great magazines of this country. I remember reading that he stood up right here in Liberty Hall and said, "It makes no difference what they say of me as a man. I shall not let my voice be still so long as they tamper with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the principles for which it stands." That is real greatness. Greatness is to be looked at from another angle. greatness is this. My ideal must not be assailed. It makes no difference how my feeling is wounded—that is purely personal—but my ideal must not be assailed. And why is that so? Our ideals are like our parents, they give us birth they make us what we are. You may kill me, but do not touch my father or mother and let me know it. That is the meaning of ideals, that is the real essential of greatness. Our ideals are like our children, we produce them and our immortality is bound up in them. You may kill me, but do not touch my child do not touch my ideal. It is the output of my mind. It is the result of my consciousness, do not tamper with it. As we look around us and see enemies from within and without, we say as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall we allow our ideals to be trampled under the feet of ruthless men? Shall we allow those who are aiming after our destruction to cause our ideals to be shattered? Answer Shall we allow them? (Cries of No 'No') No, we shall not allow them so long as we have our juveniles who some day in the near future shall stand in the universities and colleges of our own devising in our motherland. Africa, so long as we have members of the various auxiliaries working for the good of the cause so long as we have members of the Motor Corps as sentinels of service, so long as we have members of the Black Cross Nurses standing forth to the world as harbingers and messengers of mercy, love and devotion to help, so long as our chur and band can sing and play The place where gods love to be so long as we have our Carter in the chair striking the gavel and calling together the International Congress of Peoples of African descent who have organized themselves into an empire so long as we have members of the Executive Council to give advice to our great leader, so long as we have by the elective franchise of African people our own Marcus Garvey in the chair not as provisional but as the de facto first President of a proletariat empire on the African continent of our fathers. (Applause) Until these things are realized, we shall not cease fighting; we shall not cease struggling we shall go onward and forward under the banner of the Red the Black and the Green until Africa be redeemed and Africa's sons shall sing the song of redemption. (Applause) HON. G. E. CARTER SPEAK8 Hen G. E. Carter spoke as follows I want to bring to you tonight a message from the theme "Our Heritage" Most people have come into being under most favorable circumstances. This cannot be said about the Negro face, for we came into the Western civilization not by choice but rather by force, and yet in spite of our coming into the Western civilization by force we are able to demonstrate that we have within our loins the possibilities and making of a mighty nation. Perhaps were we to stop and consider the cause as to why it is possible for us to forge ahead in spite of opposition we would be compelled to admit the fact that truly the heritage that was transmitted to the unborn millions of boys and girls of black color must have been of some importance. Before we can truthfully and fearlessly consider our heritage here it would be necessary for us to understand something of our past. It is true that we have the history of the Negro—the history of the black people in fragmentary parts; it is true that it has been the policy of the laws of this universe to attribute to their race and to their lineage the good things of this earth, but in spite of that fact—in spite of their endeavors in this direction the truth remains that the Negroer past is a glorious past. The Negro Has a Glorious Past It is a past of which he may well be THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1922 CAST THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY FOR U. N. I. A.

City PHONE HARLEM 207 proud it is a past that is indicative of a future that shall be secure because of the manhood and the womanhood that comes forth out of that past it is fast that it was within the province of black men and black women to give to the world civilization in the first instance. It is true that Egyptian civilization is but the cradle of civilization and you cannot separate the civilization of Egypt from the civilization of Ethiopia. If you want to admit the fact that the Egyptian is part of the Aryan branch of the race yet you have to take into consideration that side by side labored the Ethiopian and therefore what the Egyptian accomplished the Ethiopian contributed by way of the civilization and he must get a part of the credit for all the Egyptian gets credit for A Heritage Worth While It is an heritage that is worth the while. It is an intellectual heritage transmitted to the white man, for he has had generations of culture, he has had generations of refinement he has had generations of wealth, he has had many things in his favor and the Negro has had generations of enslavement generations of opposition, generations of untoward circumstances yet in spite of those oppositions, in spite of those things that have a tendency to destroy most men the Negro realizing the strength of his being, realizing the heritage that was bequeathed to him has struggled forward and upward and is now standing before the united intelligence of the entire world vindicating for himself the thing to stand among the thinking nations of the world and prove conclusively that we have within our loins the possibilities of manhood and womanhood that can be trusted. Such an heritage is worth the while. Such an heritage inspires us; such an heritage reminds of the fact that if we will achieve we must get down and lift up and it must be an altogether lift, it must be a mighty lift. it must be a lift from the depths to heights that are matchless in the power and the mightness of a concrete idea, and that idea is so obsessing and prepossessing our entire being that we will give our last drop of blood that the ideal might be put over (Applause). I am thinking of a story that will illustrate the point. The atmosphere takes on a threatening aspect. The storm is raging. It is in the Alpine country a lone traveler is bent on making his way to the top of yonder heights. He knows full well that at the top of the mountain is an inn and in the inn there is a warm and glowing fire, and he hopes to make it up the rugged and steep mountain and land before the blazing fire. When he is but halfway up the mountain side the storm increases in its intensity, the snow is blinding, the wind is raging and the man stands as it were on the threshold of death. His feet are chilled with the cold; his hands are numbed, his body is insert, he stands and contemplates death. "Burley I cannot make the journey, I have not strength sufficient to go to the top of the rugged heights in the face of the storm." And then he hears a voice and yet it sounds to him very much like his mother's voice, and yet he is conscious of the fact that his mother has passed over into the great beyond. A second time the voice dawns upon his ears. The third time he hears the voice, and then he is made conscious of the fact that it is not a voice calling from the great beyond, but it is the voice of an individual that lies buried in the snow. See him unconscious of self, unmindful of his present condition: heedless as to what the consequences may be to his own being, he begins to move the snow right and left, hither and thither working with the strength of a Trojan until he has uncovered a human form. . Look at him as he gets beneath the weight of the human form watch him as he struggles up the side of the mountain beneath the weight bending as it were, still unmindful of self he goes on and on until he gets to the inn and then he deposits his human form there, and before the glowing fire, still unmindful of self, he works until the being has been fully restored to health, and then for the first time he stops to think of self and finds that his hands are no longer cold, his feet are no longer benumbed, his body is no longer inert, but the blood is coursing freely through his veins. He is now a new man, and the result has taken place because he got busy in saving someone else. Perseverance has won This is a true picture of the condition of a people who want to accomplish something that is worth while. I see the man who gave birth to the wonderful idea that has touched the hearts of four hundred million Negroes the world over as he was struggling up the heights of civilization bringing to the world an industrial idea bringing to the world an economic idea bringing to the world an educational idea bringing to the world a combination of ideas calculated to do the people as a whole good. I see him as he makes his onward march. I see him deterred perhaps by the storms, deterred by the programs of many organizations who would impede his progress, and yet he is mindful of the fact that buried beneath the avalanche of prejudice—buried beneath the avalanche of ignorance and superstition—buried or entombed, as it were, beneath the mob violence and lynching—buried beneath the injustice and scourge of a people, buried as it were, the manhood and the womanhood of a mighty race whose latent powers certainly must be acknowledged among the thinking nations of the world—and the cry dawns upon his ears with such meaning that he is unmindful of his position and he works with the strength of a Hercules; he moves opposition right and left, he moves it hither and thither until he has uncovered a mighty idea and that idea he gives to us and we have a right to claim it as our heritage. Is it worth while? (Voices Yes). Then I am saying it is our business to struggle up the mountain side, that this ideal might be perpetuated. If it is worth while, then we have got to do something in a constructive way, we have got to do something that will have a lasting effect upon the world and in order to prove to the world that we understand and realize the significance of our heritage it is necessary for us to put over the program The Program Can Be Put Over Friends, we can do it It must be put over. The heritage is of such a nature and of such a character that it impels and forces and sends us for ward with glad tidings. It sends us forth by leaps and bounds. It sends us forth with determination that is calculated to bring to the world the conclusiveness that there is an awakened conscience in the breasts of the millions of Negroes throughout the world unlike any other awakening in this day and generation. If you realize what your heritage is you will be willing to go forth, and as you go forth you will demonstrate to the world the possibilities of our internal resources, for after all if you realize that our internal resource is no less than internal power and internal power moves the world. (Applause) MON. R. L. POSTON SPEAKS Hon. R L Poston, the first speaker of the evening, opened his remarks with some observations of the impressions he had received during his recent visits to various divisions of the association in the State of New Jersey, where, he said, enthusiasm ran high. "I have been out in the State of New THE GREATEST EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE NEGRO RACE 1 Better relationship within the Negro Race. Third International Convention of Negro People of the World of the Universal Negro Improvement Asn: GET READY TO SEND YOUR DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES Among the many things to be discussed at the Convention will be: 2 The fostering of an international race confraternity, 3 The establishing of better commercial relationship between the Negro people of the world. 4 Discussing the plans for better Government of the Negro people of Africa. 5 Discussing better international representation and protection for the Negro people of the world. 6 Discussing ways and means of fostering and protecting independent Negro nationalities in Africa and elsewhere. 7 Discussing the future educational policy of the Negro. 8 Discussing the future religious faith and belief of the Negro. 9 Discussing ways and means of improving the industrial output of the Negro. 10 Discussing ways and means of better steamship communication between the Negro people of the world and the expansion of the Black Star Line. 11 Electing and appointing of competent leaders for the administrative control of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its auxiliary movements. 12 Drafting an international political program for the Negro people of the world. 13 Appointing delegation to represent the Negro Race at the Supreme Council of the nations to present claims. 14 Appointing international advocates on behalf of race rights, etc. Jersey," he said "and I have found enthusiasm very high. When I left the office of the Secretary General to take my itinerary through Camden and on into Atlantic City, the President General handed me a circular where Prince Denyi had advertised a great meeting in Camden, where he was going to show the impossibility of the Garvey program. I did not want to have any trouble with Prince Denyi, and on finding out that he had got into Camden rough misrepresentation, a committee from the Universal Negro Improvement Association, including some of the prominent citizens of Camden, went before the Mayor of Camden, and the Mayor had the Prince (?) to come before him and he ordered the Chief of Police to close down his meeting, and thus we were not troubled with the Prince. All along the line we have met some opposition—sometimes from the African Blood Brotherhood and then again from the N. A. A. C.

GAINES ON DISCIPLINE Discipline is not merely preservation of order, faithful performance of duty, and prevention of offences; in other words, discipline is not merely compliance with a set of rules drawn up for the purpose of preserving order in any organization. This is only one phase of discipline. In its deeper and more important sense, discipline may be defined as the habit of instantaneous and instinctive obedience under any and all circumstances, it is the habit whereby the very muscles obey the word of command, so that under whatever circumstances we may hear the word of command, even though our minds is too confused to work, our muscles will obey It is toward this ultimate object that all rules of discipline tend. Experience shows that drill, routine, courtesy, proper reward for good conduct, are the best methods of attaining good discipline, that they are the most effective means to that end. Don't be a growler—there is nothing so tiresome and borses as a chronic thing. GEN E L GAINES, kicker" and inveterate "kicker" People are always sorry to see him come, and always glad to see him go.

MORALES A "HUGO STINNES" William Stoute in Glowing Terms Praises Work Being Done by High Commissioner to Cuba [Editors Note — This estimate by Mr William Stuart, himself a stalwart Negro, and a fearless and uncompromising apptitor, of the work being done by Ion. Edward V. Morale High 'commissioner of Cuba' is significant as he is in an instantly authoritative position to devil on the principles of leadership] ELMWOOD CHAPTER NO. 41 UNVEILS CHARTER IN PHILADELPHIA BY WILLIAM BOUTE Like an electric generator, the Hon. Eduardo M. Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, set vibrating everyone who came within range of his sonorous voice, when in Liberty Hall Havana he set forth the lofty and sublime ideals of the I N I A - ideals the application of which has done so much in clearing the minds away from the gloomy horizon of the Negro. With his charisma, lighting spirit, he deserves the inertia of those Negroes -native and alien -who seem content to wait with the hope that thing may dawn the way. The prog am outlined by him, the worthy of a Go Stinnes, and it is hoped that the High Commissioner will present same for consideration at the coming convention Having to depend upon collections and gifts for the where-athal to maintain himself and his family, the High Commissioner finds himself badly handcapped and when we remember that Cuba is deeper in the mire of the economic slough than most countries, we can easily account for the great number of silver threads inter-spered among the raven locks of an young a man. Such men as our High Commissioner who will forsake their families, refuse positions which would bring them good accurses—in other words, such men as will sacrifice for the Cause After—are needed. May there be many such at the convention and may the one邀请 take better care of them. Inlegates to the convention are so that those who are sent out in the field to labor are as well provided for as those who remain at home and direct the operations from headquarters. The ability of the High Commissioner to express his thoughts in English, Spanish and French coupled with his keenness of vision his impartiality, his loyalty, and his bulldog pertinence has made his labors in this republic productive of much good. The hostile attitude of the Spanish speaking Negro toward those who speak English and French is gradual; waning before the powerful searchlight of reason which is trained upon the subject by our High Commissioner. We of the Havana Division have redoubled our efforts in trying to establish local businesses of some sort which we tend to remove us further from power. ```markdown ``` Arriving at Havana April 21 the High Commissioner first called a meeting of the officers of the division, and having obtained a clear perspective of the task before him launched his attack against the hoary walls of indifference indulgence disdain, prejudice and ignorance. Never was the achievement possible by Negroes under the auspices of the I N I A. A set forth in such glowing terms as was done by the High Commissioner during the fortnight he remained in Havana. Skeptics have been advanced cynics alienated and members strengthened. The seed fruit will eventually bring forth fruit, even a hundred fold. PHILADELPHIA DIVISION IS VISITED BY THE RT. HON. SALEM LAPIN, CHURCH TWelfth and Bainbridge street. Philadelphia was the animated scene of much interest Sunday May 11 when the Rt. Hon. Second Assistant Secretary General made an official visit to the division on invitation.

NOT ORGANIZATION OF AFRICANS, HAYTIANS OR "JAMAIQUANOS," MORALES TELLS HABANA HEARERS Calls It an Organization of Negroes the World Over, Unshackled by Insular or Other Prejudices By H. F CAMPBELL HAVANA, Cuba, May 1—On April 23 High Commissioner Eduardo V Morales of the island of Cuba spoke to a crowded house on the principles of the U N I A and A C L. My people he said, you are now responsible for not being a member of this great International Organization for Negroes of the World. Some of you believe it is an organization for Jamaican, Haitian, Americans or African. I have the authority to say it is not so. This is an organization for Negroes of the world. All Negroes Taken From Africa Three hundred years ago our forefathers were taken away from Africa by the Caucasian, who dropped some of us in Jamaica, some the United States of America some in Haiti, some in Cuba and some in the various West Indian Islands. That is the way we happen to be of different nationalities, so from this you can see that we are not responsible for being in these places. Bear in mind that we are all of the same race, and when one Negro is offended it should affect 400 000 000 Negroes of the world.

Mrs. Willis, in her thrilling, sincerely gave a wonderful lecture We feel indeed honored to have her with us. When a woman is guided by reason and the rights of others—not simply what she desires to do, but what she wants to do, then the woman will make friends, and these friends are bound to help her.

In this part of the field she has made friends who are sincere and who will do all in their power to help her canvass Garveyism. Mr. Whitttiker president of Division No 159 is doing commendable work.

The captain had sent us a "night letter" informing us of his coming, and we went down to meet him and were glad to shake hands with him and with his secretary in the land of "Bunshine" Miaz Sybil. M.

He spoke at the above named church the next night, after which he spoke at the Longshoremen Hall (our regular stronghold) and from here he proceeded to Newport News. As he was booked to appear in Richmond before the culmination of his meetings in Newport Newa, he engaged your humble servant to fill "GIVE ME LIBERTY DEATH!" DEN "GIVE ME LIBERTY OF GIVE ME DEATH!"

Now we are working on solid ground. Our slogan is "Liberty or Death." By the constructive plan our president has mapped out for us we are sure to win. We are to put on a membership drive soon. People are willing to follow Garveyville, but not Czardom. On Sunday, April 20, the forum was the gala day of the division. Prof. McKinney spoke largely on Africa, giving us something to feast on, of the characteristics of the natives and why we should be proud of the race. The lady president presided. The congregation sang "From Greenland's Ice Mountaina" The preamble of the constitution and the objects and aims of the organization were read by Mr. Corner Johnson after the organization's prayer had been repeated. Mr Wm. James spoke on our failure to pave the way for our youth His address was well taken Mr. Irene.indley's rendition of an instrumental selection was wonderful.

That division, I think is doing well. That night they made a wonderful demonstration. They have a very large chair and a formidable army of "Boy Scouts." From there the captain returned to us in Norfolk, and then to Portsmouth, and Pertaly, and now he is with Chapter No. 22. He seems to take especial delight in having your humble servant to introduce him to the audience almost everywhere he goes in the State. You would be surprised to know how much the Norfolk No. 20 Division is growing, especially since our arrival. Almost without any coaxing or persuasion on our part the colored public seems to just naturally "cave in" to us. We are taking in up to 25 new members every time we open the door. We feel confident that we can take in "all Norfolk" in the very near future. The spirit of "Garveyism" is gripping the entire country. In coming here we met with the greatest co-operation from a fine president, Hon. Allen Hobba, and, as for the membership, we have never met better people in all our lives. Chapter No. 22, of which we are also in charge, is doing splendidly. OF GIVE ME VER DIV. SLOGAN! was read by Mrs. Katie Fenner. "Fourteen Reasons Why We Should Follow Garvey."

DOCTOR ALLEGED TO PRESTON, Cuba—That Negro patients are mistreated in the hospital here is the report sent to the Negro World from apparently reliable sources. Our correspondent states that the doctors in this hospital do not heatlate to kick and other brutalize Negro patients. It is alleged that on May 5, 1922 a Haitian who was a patient in this hospital was backed from one and a ward to the other by a certain Dr Sheeres because he refused to run an ornament for a nurse, telling her that he was a patient and not an orderly. The Haitian trying to escape the onslaught of this doctor jumped in his bed, it is alleged the doctor pulled him out and continued to kick him. DROPSY Treatment.

Uno de los incinerados, según informes de prensa, murio cantando un nimno religioso mientras las llamas se lo permitieron. No es difícil imaginar el tormento espantoso de los tres que surge con perspectivas horribles el espectáculo de la ejecución, as la llaman algunos defensores del chamiento, entre alaridos de gozo de los linchadores y aclamaciones de la multitud expectante. El Statu Quo de la República Africana de Liberia—Esta Obtiene un Empréstito de Cinco Millones de Pesos Para Su Desarrollo Material—Los Negros Del Universo Deben Organizarse y Cooperar a la Libertad Financiera de Dicha República—Nuestra Raza Necesita la Cooperación de Estadistas Competentes La prensa casi unánime ha protestado energicamente contra el escandaloso hecho, y bueno es consignar que cada vez van levantando estos atentados contra la civilización mayor eco de irritación en el público. Mas a pesar de reiteradas campañas contra el linchamiento, muy reciente au la discussion en el congreso de un provecto de ley acerca de la, asombra y subleva la comprobation, en cada caso, de una complicidad vergonzosa de las autoridades con los asesinos Nos causa gran placer y satisfacción al saber que el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de America ha aprobado una ley, autorizando al gobierno el empréstito de cinco millones de pesos a la república africana de Liberia para su desarrollo material. Este empréstito viene a tiempo cuando Liberia se encuentra necesitada de ayuda financiera. Esta clase de ayuda mejorará sus condiciones en un sentido general, colocándola en un estado de unidad nacional independiente. Tres detenidos, inocentes o no negros ó blancos, puestos en manos de la justicia, en espera de un juicio garantizado por las prácticas legales normales, son en todos las pases del mundo, y para toda clase de autoridades, sagradas inviolables. El hecho de asaltar una prisión en Europa, por ejemplo, constitutura audacia tan enorme que originaria una inmediata e implacable represión de los amotinados a sangre y fuego. Cuesta realmente, positivo esfuerzo comprender la psicología de los custodios de prisiones que en Texas y muchos otros estados se dejan arrebatar impunemente sus prisoneros. Pero es aún más difícil explicar la actitud de las más elevadas autoridades que, ante lo que sucede, inviablemente, caso tras caso, consisten que se haga el silencio en torno al atentado y vuelvan las circunstancias a conformarse para laura pmazha. Las naciones avarientas de Europa han tratado por mucho tiempo el robar a la república de Liberia su independencia y autonomía. Bajo la máscara de amistad ellas han tratado de colocarla en un estado de obligación, para poder privarla de su propia libertad. Se llegó a temer que la libertad nacional de Africa desapareciera por medio de la influencia de los estadistas de Europa, en contra de la ignorancia de aquellos que han guiado los destinos de la República Negra Por medio de un golpe diplomático, aquellos que han sido sinceros a la historia y a la tradición de la república de Liberia, al notar que la asistencia era necesaria, consiguieron esa asistencia, no de parte de las "sanguijuelas" europeas sino de la filantrópica y liberal America, cuya honestidad de principio en política internacional puede ser a ella confiada, en preferencia a cualquier otra nación. No hay duda de que la opinión en immense mayoria del pas repueba la los lanchamientos. Considerar estos como sintomáticos del sentir general en los Estados Unidos fuera agraviar a la verdad y a la sensatez del pueblo. Pero lo absurdo y lo desmoralizador es la complicidad, forzada o voluntaria con que los supremos organismos del sistema de justicia de la unión dejan pasar asar de salvaje vandalismo como el de Kirvin sin una immedita, efectiva y de decisiva repression. Los Estados Unidos de America han salvado a la república de Liberia prestándole dinero para poner la nación en orden, un principio de su seguridad nacional. Algunos creen que este país ha hecho el empréstito con el objeto de explotar y finalmente asimilarse las riquezas y libertades de la república africana. Dudamos, por el contrario, que este sea realmente el motivo al adoptarse tal resolución Serán initales leyes emanadas del congreso para acabar con los lichamiento. Mientras poblaciones perturbadas por circumstancias locales y la fuerza de antecedentes de muchos años, crean y sientan que una ley superior a las escritas ampara y disculpa los crimenes de los lichadores, estos tendrán el apoyo y hasta la simpatia publica en sus comarcas Y así se perpetuará el horrible equivoco que permite ahora que cudadanos que normalmente ocupan lugar prominente en la vida legal de sus comunidades, no se rehusen a descender al odioso papel de ejecutores y torturadores de indefensos sospechos de crimenes, sin permitir a la ley el ejercicio de sus funciones Siendo este exclusivamente un caso de obligación, estamos en el deber, por medio de organización, de acumular fondos para ayudar a Liberia a pagar su deuda en el menor espacio de tiempo posible La falta de organización nos ha incapacitado para ayudarnos mutuamente, por esta razón vemos hoy a Liberia recurriendo a la ayuda de una organización nacional. Tiempo es ya de que apreciemos el valor de ésta Aquellos que inteligentemente estudian las evoluciones de la humanidad saben que la organización es la fuerza que impulsa todas la actividades del universo. Muy poco o nada podemos adquirir sin organización, no hemos podido asistir a Liberia, a Haiti, a Santo Domingo, a Abisinia o a cualquier otro país africano, en su lucha por su existencia nacional. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha aparecido en escena con un programa de organización universal entre los clementos de nuestra raza, siendo nuestro deber asistir a estas naciones en su desarrollo, convirtiéndolas en fuertes poderes, reconocidos por todos los gobiernos. Opinion de un Escritor Francés Sobre el Caracter de la Mujer Yanqui A Rene Callay que se halla en este pas recogiendo impresiones para escribir una series de artículos, no le gusta la manera de proceder de las mujeres norteamericanas Son demasiado egostas y poco femeninas da dicho Con la asistencia educativa, financiera e industrial de nuestra raza, la república de Liberia será tan invulnerable en Africa como lo es Inglaterra en Europa. En un corto periodo de tiempo podriamos ver levantarse en la costa occidental de Africa, una nación poderosa que preste ayuda y protección al Negro, no solamente en sus confines sino también en los cuatro puntos del globo. No son ni mujer ni honbre Puede verserles en los bancos, oficinas, hasta en los muelles y a pesar de estar mezcladas constantemente con los hombres son remigadas Tratan a los hombres como su fueran perros. A pesar de su cara bonita y de sus bien contorneados tobillos carecen de la elegancia que caracteriza a la mujer francesa. Mas que un deber, es una obligación tanto del Negro norteamericano como del Negro antillano el ayudar a la república de Liberia en estos momentos de deuda nacional. La ignorancia de ciertos de sus directores al no permitir en el país sangre negra con nuevos glóbulos, ha sido la causa de que hoy se vea mendingando ayuda financiera. M. Callay reconoce en cambio algunos de los encantos de América La guerra ha contribuido mucho al refinamiento de costumbres La Conferencia de Tacna y Arica La república de Liberia, como cualquier otro país de Africa, no pertenece exclusivamente a quellos Negros que han nacido allí. Liberia fué fundada hace ya mas de cien afitos, con el objeto de refugiar y ayudar a los esclavos y expatriados africanos que intentaban restablecerse en su tierra nativa. Ningun nativo de Liberia dentro y fuera de la república tiene derecho a prohibir el que cualquier Negro vuelva a su madre patria con el propósito de cooperar en su desarrollo. Bajo los más favorables auspicios, y en un espíritu de efectiva y suncera amistad, ha inaugurado ayer sus sesiones la conferencia de Tacna y Arita en Washington. La Prensa apuntó, cuando se decidió la celebración de esta asamblea bajo la presidencia de Mr. Hughes. su desco de que la reunión hubiera tenido otro escenario y vecindad distinta a la del capitolillo y la Casa Blanca. Mas razones de realizad palpatante y situaciones de rigor que sierra poco eludir el condicionaron el exito de la conferencia a lar forma en que se lleve a cabo. Y ante los hechos consumados cabe decir que los más celosos partidarios de la conservación de cada nada nacio Abrigamos la esperanza de que tales caracteres retrógados desaparezcan en la república de Liberia. Esta república, como la raza entera, necesita de la cooperación de estadistas concienzudos que se esfuerzen en la construcción de una nación prepotente, evitando de ese modo la nérida de su libergad nacional. nal y cada sombra de prestigio de nuestros pales, no podra encontrar base para protesta alguna en la forma digna, solemne y respetuosa con que el secretario Hughes declaró abiertas las sesiones chilenopermanas en un discurso lleno de declaraciones de armistad y confraternidad con las republicas hermanas del continente. Fuera absurdo o hipócrita ignorar cierto ambiente de que se ha rodeado a la conferencia. En determinados centros se acepta como inevitable que la presencia del representante de los Estados Unidos en la mesa de las delibrationes significa la aparición de un poder compulsario que ha de pesar sobre los delegados en sus discussions y, en cierto modo, forzar la solución en un sentido u otro Debe reconocerse que tal preahenamiento se ha extendido considerablemente. Mas debe también aceptarse que, dentro de las realizades inevitables que es mutil y peligroso pretender ignorar, la celebración de los debates que deben terminar en la solución del historico problema del Pacifico, se anuncia libre de presiones indebidas o coaciones reprobables. Los delegados de las dos naciones hispanicoamericanas tienen sobre si una misión transcendental y, en cierto modo, dificil como pocas. Deben, ante todo, llegar rápidamente a un acuerdo satisfactorio para los dos países, en el interés de la paz del continente del progreso de las regiones en disputa y para servir el inquestonable deseo publico, en Chile, en el Peru y en el resto de América, de que ese foco de intranquilidad y desasosiego, sea eliminado de una vez para siempre. Pero, además, considerando con suil percepción las peculiaridades del ambiente en que se mueven, los representantes de Chile y del Peru, deben saber que lo que se espera de ellos es las paz la afirmación de las paz de America Y en este postulado, por derecho propio y por dictado de sus más legitimos intereses, los Estados Unidos pueden y deben sentirse ansiosos de que se llegue a la solución esperada De ahí un gran factor favorable al exito. De ahí, un gran argumento para cuantos deseen que la razon se imponga y trunfi la justicia y el espiritu de conciliación sobre rivalidades y ambiciones, respectables pero que deben sacrificarse en beneficio general. Los delegados chilenos y peruanos deben llegar al acuerdo por decision, inspiration y anhelo propio. No debe darse lugar a que los demás factores en juego entren en funcionamiento El que ello aconteciera seria, al propio tiempo, mentable y contraproducente. Pero, de llegarse a tal caso, seria enteramente inevitable Ante el mundo entero, Hispanoamericana va a dar una prueba de cordura, de domino interno, de cohesion y perspicacia, solucionando por si misma, sin intervención extraña de clase alguna un problema dificultismo lleno de peligros Fl exito sera tanto mas resonante y efectivo cuanto mas independiente se logre el acuerdo -La Prensa, N Y. La Exhibición Internacional Del Brazil—El Gobierno Desmiente una Notica—Construcción de un Ferrocarril a Paraguay Mr Eugene Seeger, que por espacio de diez años fue consult general de los Estados Unidos en Rio de Janeiro, declara que el gran topic del Brasil, hoy dia, es la Exhibición Internacional que, con motivo del centenario tendrá lugar en Rio de Janeiro desde el 7 de Septiembre hasta fines de Noviembre. Segun Mr Seeger, los Estados Unidos tendrán un magnifico edificio, y exhibirán numeros productos norteamericanos. A la vez creanar una embajada, que residra en el edificio construido. La Brazilian Steamship Line está haciendo arreglos especiales para los excursionistas norteamericanos y al efecto, tendra una tarifa extraordinaria que incluirá una estancia de treinta días en Rio de Janeiro. El clima que predomina desde Mayo hasta Diciembre es magnifico y es la época del año que más se adapta para excursiones por el pals. Ha sido desmentida catégöricamente de una manera oficial la noticia publicada por algunos diarios francases diciendo que se prepara por el ejército y la marina un movimiento contra el presidente electo de la república doctor Bernardes Tanto el ejército como la armada han hecho constar de una manera bien patente que no tienen el menor propósito de intervenir en cuestiones políticas y han sido los primeros en protestar de las fantasias de aquellos periodicos. Una comisión de ténicos ha marché a los estados de Santa Catalina y Sao Paulo, a fin de bucar las zonas más propicias para el trazado del ferrocarril entre el Brasil y el Paraguay. El ministro del Paraguay en Río de Janeiro, doctor Guggiari, ha declarado que el gobierno de sus pais contribuirá de una manera eficaz a la construcción del ciclo ferrocarril, que tanto ha de beneficiar al comercio de ambos palese. DATOS HISTORICOS Influencia de la Raza Negra en la Formación del Pueblo Mexicano Por el Dr. ALFONSO TORO (Continuación) Los Negros, a la llegada del primer Virrey a la Nueva España, eran ya muy numerosos, tanto por los muchos asenios o contratos que varios individuos habian hecho con la Corona como tamben por el gran contrabando que se habia hecho de ellos, trayendos, bien de Africa o bien de las islas. Tan numerosos así eran, que, como es bien sabido, durante el virreinato de don Antonio de Mendoza intentaron una sublevación que descubierta el 24 de Septiembre de 1537, dio origen a una sangrante repression. El censo que examinamos explica el porque de ella, pues stendo, sin duda, mayor el número de Negros, apesar de que muchismos percieron al descubirse la conjura, los espáoles se han de haber visto a riesgo de perder el dominio de la Nueva España. El Virrey, espantado ante el peligro que acababa de correr la raza blanca, dietro varias providencias para evitararlo en los suceso y, as, pidio al Monarca que se le mandaran armas y pólvora en gran cantidad, que se construyera una cuadradela en Tacuba y que no se permitera que se enviaran mas Negros a la Nueva Espana. Esto ocurre en 1537, y así, pues, pasada la mediana del siglo el número de Negros era tan creciendo que superaba al de los espaholes. Fuera es convenir en que la raza negra era muy prolifica, o que se seguan introduciendo de contrabando De las cifras que nos da el censo que examinamos, comparadas con censos posteriores, puede deducirse que la sangre negra ha entrado en la formación del pueblo mexicano en cantidad mayor de la imaginada hasta hoy, casi igual a la con que ha contribuido la raza blanca, y no solo, sino que mezclas de esta con la raza negra y la indigena, dieron por resultado un predomino de la raza blanca en el mestizaje, blanqueandose, por decirlo as, las otras razas. En efecto, si tomamos las cifras que nos proporciona el censo del Conde de Revillagigedo, veremos que sobre una población de 4,483,.529 habitantes, que erue le que se calcula al virreinato de la Nueva España, habia un 49% de criollos, es decir, de individuos de raza blanca nacidos en Mexico y un 2% de españoles originarios del antiguo continente. El Baron de Humboldt, teniendo a la vista es censo y el de don Francisco Navarro y Noriega y haciendo las correcciones que creyó prudente, calcula en 1823 la población de la República Mexicana en 6,800,000 habitantes. De ellos 1,200,000 eran Blancos y solo 10,000 Negros, cifras que se prestan a muy serias reflexiones v que, si son siquiera approximadas, indicarian o que la raza negra eras menas prolifica o que las castas provenientes de ella abacaban por desaparecer entre los Blancos, apesar de las precauciones que siempre tuvieron el gobierno español, debido al sistema de tributación, para clasificar a los mestizos provenientes de las uniones de Blancos, Negros e Indios. En efecto, como es ben sabido, se hicieron minucosas clasificaciones, aunque poco científicas, en que se designan con diversos nombres los productos de las uniones de las diferentes razas y con ellos figuraban en los padrones parroquiales que servían de base para el cobro de los tributos, y aun se lelegaron a pintar colecciones de cuadros que representaban los diversos tipos de mestizaje en sus ocupaciones ordinarias. Estos todos eran, con algunas variantes, los designados con los nombres de mestizos, mulatos, sambos, salta-atras, mortizos, lobos, albinos, sambayos, cembuyos, albarazados, barcinos, coyotes, chamizos etc De las colecciones de pinturas a que hemos hecho referencia, existe una en Paris que ha sido describa por el profesor Blanchard en el Journal de la Societé des Americanistes y dos en el Museo Nacional de Arqueología e Historia de la ciudad de Mexico, de las que se ha tratado en los Anales de dicho Museo en la revista Ethnos y se sabe que hay algunas otras pinturas semejantes en el Peru. Si tenemos en cuenta que la ley xxi, titulo III, libro vi, de la Rocopilación de Indias prohibió que los Negros y Mulatos vivieran en los pueblos de los Indios y que aquellos se les empleara principalmente en las poblaciones mineras, en las laciendas de cafa de acaruz y como domésticos en las ciudades, fuera convenir en que mas dificilmente pudleron mezclarse con la indígena que con la raza blanca. Natural era, pues, esperar que en las grandes ciudades como México, Zacatecas, Guamjuato, Pachuca, fuera donde más huellas de su paso tubiera dejado la raza negra, pero cualquier observador imparcial puede comprobar lo contrario. Entiambi la persistencia de los caracteres enmprósicos de la raza africana de transfusión en muchos de los mestizos del Golfo y del Pacífico y en las regiones llamadas tierra caliente. Sin embargo, quizas si los carácteres fisicos del Negro han desaparecidos en las altas mesas y en la parte de Mexico colocada fuera de la zona tórrida, posible es que se conserven algunos de los caracteres morales de la raza negra en sus descendientes y un estudio en etnografía detenido explicar así muchas de las propenciones del pueblo mexicano. Los misioneros y muy especialmente el padre Mendieta pinta a los Negros como renoceros, hipocritas y dispuestos siempre a la sublevación que quizas de alli, de la sangre negra, provenga la inocilidad del pueblo mexicano a injerarse a sus gobernantes y su tendencia a revolucionar. Todos estos problemas son dignos de un estudio detenido y no hago otra cosa que sefilarlos a la atención de los sabios que de tales materias se ocupan. Nuestro Presidente el Honorable Marcus Garvey Telegrafía un Voto de Gracias al Presidente de la Nación Por su Soporte en el Empréstito a la República de Liberia Warren G Harding. Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América. Casa Blanca, Washington, Di C. Honorable senor Por la presente envio a usted un voto de gracias en nombre de los cuatrocentos millones de Negros del mundo, por vuestro soporte a la ley que provee un empresito de cinco millones de pesos para la república de Liberia. El prestamo de esta cantidad de dinero revela el rasgo de amistad que vuestro gobierno profesa hacia nuestra raza, siendo la república de Liberia la unica esperanza para el Negro en el ejercicio del arte gubernamental.

Crème sefor, vuestro obediente servidor. MARCUS GARVEY. Presidente-General. La Agricultura en Puerto Rico Lat situación de los agricultores de la Isla es cada vez más angustiosa por la falta de dinero necesario a la refaccion de sus fincas. La siembra se ha paralizado en muchas fincas por la falta de dinero para comprar la semilla, y pagar los jornales. Segun informes de las Ligas Agricolas y de los agentes de agricultura, se acude en los campos a la corte inconciente de los árboles para hacer carbon, como unico medio, al alcance de prioprietarios agricolos y mediarianos sin recursos de obtener con que atender, de momento, a las necesidades de su familia. Se ha solicitado del departamento de agricultura y trabajo, como un medio de mejorar la situación, el que apropié alguna cantidad para comprar semilla y distribuir entre los agricultores. El departamento no puede acceder a esa solicitud, no puede solo puede disponer de las partidas del presupuesto para el objeto específico a que en el mismo presupuesto se destinan. Las Ligas Agrico'son las ilamadas a gestionar los prestamos de dinero necesario a la compra de cuanto el agricultor necesita, utilizando las garantias de que disponen sus miembros. El Problema Economico de la Isla de Cuba El Dr. Leopoldo Cancio, conoce-dor de los asuntos económicos de la república y que ha estado largo tiempo al frente de la secretaria de hacienda, en declaraciones hechas a la prensa sobre este tópico cree que todo el dafio que se ha sufrido en Cuba proviene del desequilibrio habido entre el consumo y la producción. Estima el Dr. Cancio que no tuvimos para nada en cuenta que la querra, al empobrecer a los prebios, les iha a obligar a ser metodicos y económicos. Nos perjudican si aber producido demasiado, pero el economista dice que es senilla la solución, bastando con fabricar en lo adelante, lo que el consumidor reclame, sal como los mercados. Por otra parte, en cuanto a los gastos del estado aconseja volver al, titulus antoni bellum", eriterido que es compartido por el elcuestivo nacional y los miembros del congreso.
