The Negro World

NEGROES FACING SUPREME TEST IN WORLD COMPETITION VOL. XII. No. 16 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We are now about to face the supreme test of our lives. We are confronted with the most serious human political and economic program of the ages. We find humanity everywhere struggling toward political freedom and economic opportunity. In this struggle we are confronted with the rivalry of the keenest minds of the age; each race and nation seeking to present their best to the world. So much is expected of each by the different rivals that it becomes impossible to reach an amicable settlement and to establish universal confidence. The Collapse at Genoa It can be plainly seen that no one race or nation trusts the other. There is a universal suspicion that hovers over the conduct of every great leader representative of his race or nation. It is this suspicion that limited the Washington four pact treaty; it is this suspicion that has caused the failure of the Genoa Conference; it is this suspicion that is going to wreck ultimately many of the nations and empires of today, thereby throwing into obscurity many of the races that now dominate the affairs of man. We are called upon to play our part, and we must do it well. In the spread of this universal suspicion that causes nation to distrust nation, race to distrust race, we also have our distrust which makes it impossible for us to believe in anyone else but ourselves. The time has really come for the Negro to look to himself for his own salvation. That means that he must strike out boldly on his own initiative to do everything for himself worth while. If he wants to better his individual, racial or national condition he has to go about it himself; that means more work, and still harder work. If it is only on the part of the individual, then the individual must work harder; if it is on the part of the race, then the entire race must work harder, and if it is for the purpose of the nation, then everybody must throw in his bit for the good of the imaginary commonwealth. The Basis of a Negro Empire We who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association have before us the vision of a great empire, one not given to us, but one worked for, one fought for, one won through the energy, labor and sacrifice of the Negro himself. Our empire must be economic as well as political; it must mean an establishing of our own industries here, there and everywhere, to find employment, useful occupation for the teeming millions of our own people who have been depending upon other races for the last three hundred years for their existence. It means we must reach forth politically to bring into being a nation to take its place among the nations of the world second to none. We must have captains of industry to lay the plans for our industrial foundation; we must have statesmen who are able to point to us the way of destiny. Now more than ever the Negro needs a William Pitt; yes, more than ever the Negro needs a Bismarck, yea, a Garibaldi, but even above them all we need at this time a Napoleon. We shall not expect others to do for us that which we should do for ourselves. For hundreds of years we have depended on others to do for us, and they have made us but their slaves, and slaves we shall ever be until we start out to build upon our own foundation economically and politically. The Universal Negro Improvement Association that seeks to unite the four hundred million Negroes of the world appeals to each and every member of the race at this time for help and encouragement to carry on the program of African redemption and Negro emancipation. We need men of courage, men of valor, men of daring who will go forth fearing nothing, heeding nothing but God. We want men who will blaze their way through oceans of opposition toward the given goal. We want men who are determined on the righteousness of the cause that we represent to go forth and champion it. Let these men be of the race in NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 TACING SUPP WORLD CO CONFRONTED WITH SERIOUS POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PROGRAM NO ONE RAI OR NATION TRUSTS THE OTHER NEGRO MU LOOK TO HIMSELF FOR HIS OWN SALVATION BIG CONVENTION MEETING TO HELP SOLVE PROBLEM America, of the West Indies, South or Central America or Africa; again I say we want them now, and badly, too. We want men of vision to point the people the way, for where there is no vision we are bound to perish. The Mightiness of Power Gradually, even though slowly, we are getting to realize that the fight is now or never. We have to fight for a place in the world if we must exist; that place is not going to be yielded up to us by philanthropy, by charity, but only through that stronger power that will compel others to give unto us that which is our due. I say power because it is necessary. Except the individual, the race or the nation has power that is exclusive; it means that that individual, that race or that nation will be bound by the will of the other who possesses this great qualification. It was the physical and pugilistic power of Jack Johnson that kept him in the ring. It was the industrial and scientific power of the Teutonic race that kept them for years as the dictators of the economic and scientific policies of Europe. It is the military, naval and political power of Great Britain that keeps her mistress of the world; hence it is advisable for the Negro to get power; get power of every kind, power in education, in science, in industry, in politics, in higher government, and physically. We want that kind of power that will stand out signally so that other races and nations can see, and if they won't see, feel. POWER is the only argument that satisfies man. Man is not satisfied; neither is he moved by prayers, by piouss, but every man is moved by that power of authority which forces him to do, even against his will. If the other fellow knows that you can knock him down he is going to respect you. If the other race knows that you can knock them out they will respect you; if the other nation knows that you can give them a whipping they will respect you, but until then nobody pays any attention. Get Power—Get It Quick! The only advice I can give the Negro is to get power; get it anyhow. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is teaching the way, and we pray that God will give the four hundred millions of our race the vision, the foresight to realize that it is now or never. To remain as we have been in the past, divided among ourselves, parochializing, insularizing and nationalizing our activities as subjects and citizens of the many alien races and governments that we have lived under is but to hold ourselves in readiness for that great catastrophe that is bound to come, that of racial extermination at the hands of the stronger race, the one that will be fit to survive. Again I warn each and every one of you that it is only a question of time when the Negro will be (if he fails to organize today) completely exterminated; yes, he shall be wiped off the face of the globe so as to make room for the growing stronger races and nations of the world. Another two, three or five hundred years will see a great change in human affairs. It will mean then the existence of only those races that are strong enough to survive, and all peoples are making effort now to be numbered among the survivors of the next century, two, three or five. Negroes, we have no time to waste. Let us sink our petty differences and get together. You big Negro, you big fellow who believe in the reign of the individual as against the reign of the masses, your days are numbered. You fellow who believe yourself so superior to the other, let me warn you that your fate shall be the common fate of all Negroes if you help not to prepare against the dangers of the future. Your millions, your hundreds of thousands, your tens of thousands, your thousands of dollars, your property, your all, your life, will be worth nothing to you in another one hundred years if you make not the effort today to help the masses of your people to rise above their condition of slavery, peonage and serfdom, to become an independent race of men. Your skin will not be saved in the bloody holocaust if at the time of the conflict of races for the survival of the fittest your race and mine occupies not a strong position in the affairs of the world. You Owe It to Yourself It is for the establishing of a strong position that the Universal Negro Improvement Association fights. We are determined that in another five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty years the Negro shall be a world power; that he shall represent everything common to humanity, and that no race shall rise higher than he does; that no nation shall ascend to loftier pinnacles than the African nation, so that by standing at the acme of human political, economic power we will be able to lend protection to ourselves throughout the world. Every Negro can help to create such a condition. Yes, you can help now by supporting the Universal Negro Improvement Association's program. Those of you who are intelligent, those of you who are educated, those of you who have caught the vision, we want you to send your delegates to the third international convention that is to assemble in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year. We want every community where Negroes live to send at least one delegate so that by a congregation of Negroes from all parts of the world we can with one united voice create the ways and means by which we shall develop and ultimately protect ourselves. Those of you who cannot attend the convention we are asking to contribute liberally in enabling us to meet the great expenses that will be incurred. You can contribute your five, ten, fifteen, twenty, fifty, one hundred dollars to the African Redemption Fund. This fund is being raised for the purpose of capitalizing the work of our organization, and for spreading the propaganda of a free and independent Africa. You will also subscribe to the Convention Fund of 1922. You can send one, two, five, ten, twenty or fifty dollars. Money is very much needed to put over the big program of the forthcoming convention. When it is considered that we have to send large delegations into different parts of the world to interview the various governments on behalf of the race, the need for whole-hearted financial support becomes manifest. Send in your help today and not tomorrow. Texas Klansman Indicted On Charge of Murdering Negro Fred A. Bryan, a White Bank Clerk, Shot and Killer Negro—Tried to Secrete Body—Police Connive to Shield Murderer—Justice Lusk Accuses Klan Officer of Gruesome Killing PHILADELPHIA DIVISION "ADVANCING ON TO VICTORY"—DR. HANNA HOUSTON, Texas. May 23, 1922 — Fred A. Bryan was indicted late Tuesday by the county grand jury on a charge of murder in connection with the killing of Charles Wilson, Negro, when police raided a crap game at the Rio Grande Valley Ice Co. Shortly before the indictment was returned, John T. Scott president of the First National Bank where Wilson had been employed as a bank teller, announced that Bryan's resignation has been accepted. Bryan formerly held a special police commission, but was his hanged last October 31 when it was discovered that he was treacherous of a Ku Klux Klan. Bryan was arrested and held with out ball. His attorney immediately asked a writ of habeas corpus to give him his liberty on bail. President Scott of the bank said Bryan's services had been satisfactory up to the time of the killing. "Mr Bryan's attention was a reminder of the fact that we had a defense brief standing with him that he was not to engage in detective work or to be a special officer said President Scott. 'When it was recalled that he had agreed not to engage in such work he presented his resignation to the bank and it has been accepted. Several months ago it was called to the banks attention that Bryan was a special officer, either under the sheriff or police or some detective agency and he agreed that he would never his connections with whatever concern it was. We understood that he had no further connections with the police work until this incident came up. Bryan was charged with the killing of the Negro in a verdict handed down by Justice of the Peace Leon Lusk. The case then was taken directly up to the grand jury Seurat Burial? Was an effort made to bury Charles Wilson, Negro, shot to death Batur day when police raided a dice game at the Rio Grande Valley ice plant, without his fact ever becoming known that and died a violent death. That was one of the things taken up today by the grand jury in its investigation of the shooting. Here are the facts that pointed to a secret burial Tuesday as the grand jury took up its investigation Facts in Probe No entry appeared upon police books up to Monday of the shooting of the Negro. The Negro, shot twice, laid under a box car 40 minutes, according to witnesses. He then was removed by police and sent to St Joseph's Infirmary. No entry appears on police records up to Monday of that although it is a rigid requirement of police rules that such be reported. Officers who were with Bryan on the raid were Patrolman Henderson Millis Reed and Graham. At 1 p.m. the Negro died. No inquest was held and both justices of the peace say no report was made to them of that fact. His body was sent to Palerchild's undertaking room on Bowling street a Negro institution. When found Monday the body was ready for burial Justice Lush ordered it be sent to a morgue for examination. It is a State law that no burial of any body be made without an inquest where death is by violent cause or where the man is indicted. Plans Upset Here is the way the information got out that caused Justice Luko to upset plans to bury the Negro without an inquest. Some time Sandy a white man who refused to give his name notified the police reporter of The Houston Press of the killing. He told him that no mention had been made of the affair Sunday, and he thought it should be made. The reporter went to the scene of the shooting Negroes were so terrified that they refused information. He found two white eyewitnesses who By DR. W 8. HANNA PHILADELPHIA. Pa-The New Philadelphia Chapter of the U N I A is slowly but surely treading the high road to success. Under a leadership which is unchallenged and with a determination surpassed only by their genuine loyalty and devotion to the cause, the chapter is steadily going forward in a drive for 500 new members by August New members are coming in too. 25 to 30 at each called meeting. Sunday, May 21, at the Gladstone Theatre, 17th and Annin streets, was a banner day with over 200 members present. The special drive for the parent body was launched under Hon. W. C. Smyer, High Commissioner of Pennsylvania. Special features of juveniles were introduced by the superintendent, Mrs. Benjamin. The African Black Cross Nurse, Legions and Motor Corps were out in full uniform and added to the impressiveness of the occasion. Among the several speakers seated on the platform were Mrs. Basile Frenty, Mr. Earnest Varack, the High Commissioner, Hon. W. C. Eymer, Dr. Hanna, Dr. Lovell, Mr. Pointer, Attorney Thompson, the acting president, Hon. O. H. C. Jerome and A. H. MALONEY DISCUSSES THE NEGRO'S POLITICAL FATE A. H. MALONEY DISCUSSES THE NEGRO'S POLITICAL FATE probably will appear before the grand jury After this investigation the reporter went to the police station at about midnight. He asked the sergeant on duty what report he had of the shooting. The sergeant said he had none. He saw the entry on the blotter where four Negroes had been booked for gaming. There was no entry about the shain Negro Police Chief Gordon Murphy said By A H MALONEY The Negro has had his day in politics in this country. It was unfortunate that that day came upon him at a time when he could not possibly have been prepared to handle the situation and that his failure so to do has been indelibly chalked up against him. Those were the nervous days following upon the boots of the Civil War. There is an old proverb which says that fortune comes but once and that that individual or group that is so ill-favored as to miss her has to be thereafter forever host of Fortunes daughter. Have the fates so decreed for the Negro in the political arena of these United States? Surviving the deluge which engulfed the Negro politically were a few robust figures who lived through the next few generations. To have known such men as Pinchback B K Bruce, John R Lynch and H R Reyels of Mississippi, J H Bailney of South Carolina, H P Cheatham of North Carolina, J T Rapier of Alabama, J P Long of Georgia and others of that illustrious group is to have passed through the poignancy of enervating despair, for now that the race is better prepared to perform the functions of citizenship and to fill the various offices with efficiency and dignity, Dame Fortune's daughter Misfortune, seems to persist in shadowing its entire pathway The Republican party has used the race for all it was worth in the political contests since emancipation. But like an old shoe it is now being cast aside as no longer essential to Republican victory at the polls. This enforced "allegation of affection" has staggered the senses of the conservative Negro leaders in politics, and they are gradually coming out of the state of coma, finding themselves with a constituency that has become defatted, having no market value worth considering. All along there have been those who have urged the Negro not to treat his franchise as a package, signed, sealed, addressed and ready for delivery on the demand of the party leader. But their efforts have been fruitless in the main. What good, if any, would have accrued had their suggestions prevailed is entirely problematical. The core of the problem is to be found elsewhere. Neither party has even regarded the Negro as anything more than a tool. To the Republicans he was a good tool. He did the work without being conscious of his value. To the Democrats he was a dangerous tool, a tool which had to be put out of commission by fair means or by foul because he cut sharply into political pies that were not to be served to them. And the Democrats have succeeded admirably. They have used with telling effect the coercive power of an efficient minority coupled with the identity of the mental attitude to the hearts of Republicans in their regard for the Negro per se. So the old days have gone. They were brief but fateful, and their baneful marks are as persistent as a blemish on the polished surface of a panel or the scar of a wound that disfigures. Those who can read the signs of the times cannot fail to see that there is a studied policy within the nation to curtail, and to stamp out, eventually, the presence and the influence of the Negro in the political life of the United States. the lady president Mrs. Estella Matthews. Impressive five minutes addresses by Attorney Thompson, Dr Lovell and Mr Varlack stirred the enthusiasm of the meeting. Mr. Pointer's address especially touched the spirit of the assembly, and he was given a decided ovation. The acting president, Hon. O'H. C. Jerome, then addressed the chapter in his usual scholarly style, after which the speaker of the afternoon, Hon W. O. Smyer was fittingly introduced by Dr Hanna. The Commissioner in his imitative way held his audience spellbound for 25 minutes on the economic, industrial and commercial program of the U. N. L. A. The speech was both instructive and thrilling as was evinced by the ovation which the Commissioner received when he sat down and proves his rare ontological ability. The meeting ended with the closing hymn and the Universal Ethiopian Anthem. It proved one of the most remarkable meetings Philadelphia has seen for some time for enthusiasm, freedom of spirit and speech and the regular Liberty Hall "ginger" as is expressed in the Universal anthem. Truly, Chapter 47 of Philadelphia is "advancing to victory with the might of the Red, the Black and the Green." THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 3. 1922 Tuesday he tried Saturday night to get some member of the district attorney's office John Berr) an assistant, says he had a call to come to police headquarters but did not go. Brantu says he heard about it Sunday and got his information from Justice Lusk Lusk says he did not learn of the killing until Monday morning. Meantime Fred Switzer assistant district attorney. Monday took statements from a number of officers at police headquarters. On leaving he said he was convinced that the police didn't kill the Negro. Lusk in the meantime brought in a verdict that the Negro came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Bryan. The Houston Press This is not a wall of pessimism. It is a brutal fact. The activities of so-called patriotic organizations like the 8th Louis league to keep colored candidates on the local ticket from being elected, the activities of the K K K and other organizations in the recent gubernatorial election in Oregon the Birmingham pronouncement of President Harding—all these are strokes indicating the direction of the wind. The house is tightening around the political neck of the Negro. Its strangulation is simply a question of time But some men seem to see buoyant hope in the northward and westward migration. So we are hearing it said that in great industrial and commercial centers like New York Chicago Cleveland, Detroit St Louis, and Indianapolis we are going to have representation in the city councils and sidermanic board (as we do have, in a few instances), that we are going to send some few men to the State Legislatures and to the national Congress from States in which the Negro has so increased by virtue of the oxodus from the South as to have generated political prestige by sheer pressure of numbers. In this they see much to encourage them But what if these things do happen? There are many communities in this country where, by virtue of the presence of a very limited number of colored persons, race friction is practically non-existent. The same is true of Christian churches, of Y M and Y W C A s., of schools, colleges and universities, of athletic associations, of social and fraternal organizations or anywhere? And why? Simply because the potential influence of the lone member-in-black is infinitely counter-balanced and made of none effect by the organized strength of those on the other side. The presence of a member of the race in a city council, board of aldermen, State Legislature, United States Congress, or in the President's Cabinet would cut no figure except that of a passing show of sentimentality. But just let the race make such inroads, numerically, as would give rise to competition for supremacy let the Negro be a powerful contender, let the sphere of his influence and the reach of his ambition traverse those of white folks, and note the consequences. The ratio of increase of race-prejudice appears to bear direct relation to the competitive capacity of the Negro in the midst of a given group. This is true from whatever angle you look at it. It is true in commerce in industry in society in learning in religion, and politics is no exception. If it be true that self-government is the best possible government, in principle, then it follows logically, that in the United States the Negro's civic future is as dark as his skin There is an adage that runs like this. He who would be free must himself strike the first blow." The white race will not, can not, free the Negro. The white race can only help. And it is doing its bit and ding it right well. It is doing its level best to show us that we are persona non grata. Nine cases of lynching in Texas alone since May 6 speak with an irresistible eloquence. The Egyptians helped the Jews to attain unto racial and national independence by means of the lash of the taskmaster and the tale of bricks. It was only thus that the fleshpots of Egypt became tasteless to the Jews and the wine of contentment became bitter. Today England is helping India to self-government by her policy of economic exploitation and her persecution of those who foster nationalist aims, as she has helped Ireland to the status of a free state. It may be that the wickedness of American prejudice is an inexorable instrument to drive Negroes into the folds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to compel them to combine forces with the rest of the four hundred million Negroes of the world; to instil into them a common desire; to send them forth like a disciplined army under their own leadership to take possession of and to occupy and govern, the native land of their fathers. With a powerful government behind him the Negro, wherever he might be, will receive the respect that a man is entitled to receive. NEW DIVISION ORGANIZED LAKE VIEW, Dellan County, S. C. —Rev. G. W.

'THE CREOLE REVUE' TO ENJOY A BIG RUN AT THE LAFAYETTE Producers Have Whipped It Into Splendid Shape and Made It a Most Entertaining Show There can be no denying that many were the criticisms hurled at the Creole Follies Revue after the first performance on Monday night but even the Coleman Brothers. House Manager Burt and Quintard Miller admitted that they expected such, as the undertaking was one of stupendous proportions and they did not look forward to getting off to a better start than the majority of the shows of this kind being offered on Broadway. Speaking on this phase of the matter we note with a great deal of pleasure that the present issues and the entire management of the Lafayette have made a concerted effort to please the thousands of colored people in this vicinity and elsewhere and the fact that they are not above criticism have warmed them to the hearts of the critics who are not united in trying to help them to establish shows of which they can and we for that matter feel proud of "The Croole Pollies Revue with its gorgeous acency beautiful costumes, a a sprightly and beautiful chorus, stara of the first magnitude and all the carmarks of something which has been brought to us with the stamp of a Ziegfold, is underlined for an indefinite run at the Lafayette Theatre the house which has been conceded to be the best appointed and most up to date in the country catering to our people. That this move will meet with instant appreciation by the people we make bold to predict for the change already made and the new material worked in, promises one of the best shows that was ever conceived right in our midst At the conclusion of a special rehearsal held on Sunday night in the presence of some of the most prominent managers from lower Broadway the opinion prevailed that a show enhanced in value from every standpoint would greet those going to the theatre from now on. This is as it should be for the members of the cast seem to sense the great possibilities of what is promised in keeping the Follies here and unitedly they have decided to work with those employing them in making this production one which will be talked about all over the country. Billy Higgins is right now making an impression which surpasses the warm welcome he received when he first appeared here, and that he is a comedian above the average any person can find out by closely watching his work Emmett Anthony, the youngster who created a furore a few years ago and who more recently has been winning a great deal of recognition on the big time, returned to our midst in the Creole Follies Revue and from the many comments heard it would be worth the time and trouble for any body from Brooklyn and New Jersey to make the trip to New York during the run of the show The beautiful voice of Miss Blanche Thompson floats over the footlights to audiences who are not only hold entranced by the volume and beauty of her bird-like tones, but by a personality which has done much in the past to add to a charm of manner most alluring W C. Richardson, who is practically a newcomer to this section, has made more than good and as one of the stars who came to us with a reputation, he is bound to be one of the most entertaining members of this show Johnnie Hudgins and his wife Mildred Martine, under the team name of Hudgins and Hudgins in vaudeville, hardly need any introduction to the public at this time, as they have toured the country as members of some of the biggest burlesque shows in America and their work is a thing of art. Miss Lula Whidby continues to win her audiences with the same simplicity that made hundreds single her out upon her initial appearance in the East, and if merit speaks for anything this is the time that our audiences will show full appreciation by turning out in large numbers. Freeman and McGinty come to the barrier, speaking in the parlance of the race track, with a rush which they hold from start to finish and the thunderous applause that greet them nightly attaches their value as members of the "Croole Follies Revue." On the whole, we have seldom had the good fortune to write of a production with so much enthusiasm as that which naturally comes to us when we see such an attempt as this big revue represents, and that the people behind it are very optimistic of the success that will naturally result from the hard work employed in making it something above the ordinary can be seen in the lavish manner in which they continue to spend money on the Follies. That realistic rain scene which many managers predicted would be something alone worth the price of admission, has been perfected and is worth going a long way to see. Never before has anything of the kind been shown in Harlem and already the comments on this successful reproduction of one of nature's most necessary things to man are widespread. We see no reason why the indiscrete run planned by the Coleman Brothers should not surprise even then when the people as a whole wake up to the wonderful production new being shown at the Tahayette.

THE VOICE FROM WITHIN By GRACE McDOWELL Why has the heart restless yearnings for heights and steps unroot? Some call it the voice of longing And others the voice of God. No one gets very far in this world or expresses great power until he catches a glimpse of his higher self—until he feels that the divinity which is glirring within him and which On May 8 I left Dallas for Frys Gap, Jacksonville Rusk and Cushion, Texas. I arrived at Frys Gap at 12 noon Monday. May 8 That night I spoke in the C M E Church Tuesday I visited the farmers. In the evening I spoke at the same church and on Wednesday I went to Jacksonville and spoke in a Baptist Church Leaving Jacksonville I returned to a place called The Mountains, and on Thursday I canvassed every home in that section, covering about fifteen miles That night (Thursday) I spoke again on the Church Hill Old Farm. Friday I was requested to speak at a Baptist Church on The Mountains on Saturday night I spent Saturday going among the people, and that night there were 500 Negroes present. I was standing outside talking to a Mr. Bates when a Ford car driven by a white man with two other white men in it came up. As they drove up the driveway they asked for V. G. Ragsdale, stating that they were told that there was to be speaking here and they wanted to hear what the speaker was going to tell, about At 11:15 I began to speak, and the three white men were present. After I had finished the white men shook hands with me and said they were well pleased. I left with Mr Simmons to go home with him to spend the night. As we were going along the road I heard a car coming. Suspecting that something was wrong we stopped beside the road and the car went past. Upon arriving at the farmer's home the white men asked for me. At this time I was standing behind the house, and as they drove away two men came up and told us that the white men wanted to flog me. I was taken to the home of Mr Henry Chatman for the night. On Sunday I spoke at the New Hope Baptist Church. On Monday I left for Curching, and when I arrived at Jacksonville I was taken off the train by three men and placed in jail without any charges being preferred against me. That night the County Attorney took me to Rusk for safekeeping. On Tuesday the County Attorney told me that they had placed against me a charge of vagrancy, and in order that I might get away without being taken to Rusk and take the train there for Dallas. I asked for a lawyer, but I was informed that it was of no use, and on Wednesday I was taken to Jacksonville for trial and fined $10.40. They brought me back to Rusk, and on Thursday at 13:00 I was banked. The Sheriff took me to the bank to get the money that was sent from Dallas. After receiving the money I paid the fine and the Sheriff told me to go to the station and catch the train that left there at 3:30; it was then 3 o'clock. As I started down the street two cars came up behind me, with eight men in the two. They got out and ran me down, caught me and put me into a Hudson and drove to the woods. I tried to let out a cry, but was struck in the mouth by a man weighing about 200 pounds. They drove a quarter of a mile from the town, made me get out of the car and took me in the woods about 2,000 yards from the road. There they made me let down my trousers and throw me on the ground. One held my head, one on each arm and one on each leg, while a man weighing about 200 pounds whipped me with a strap about three feet long and three inches wide and about one-quarter of an inch thick. I was then ordered to get out of town and to stay out. I walked about three miles to a station called Delmia. There I caught a train $12 22-calibre, 10-shot Alkar Automatic Pistol; regulation Military Model, blue steel rifled barrel, 6½ inches long; extra magazine (free), checked grip, safety on side, making accidental discharge impossible.

CHILI AND PERU PUT HOPE IN ARBITRATION WASHINGTON May 23 (Associated Press) —The Chilean and Peruvian delegations here are centering their hopes now on proposals to leave the controversy over the provinces of Tacna and Arica to some form of arbitration. It is conceded a direct settlement by the countries concerned is impossible. Chill instills that the plebsibiscite provided for in the treaty of Ancon remains the proper agency for determining which country owns the provinces. Peru replies that this means of settlement was forfeited by Chill because the plebsibiscite was not held in 1894 as the treaty provides. Neither side has materially changed its position. Therefore arbitration has come to the front. Several forms have been proposed. One method suggested is that the arbitrator decide whether a plebiscite is feasible, and if so, under what conditions it should be held. If not, the arbitrator would make a definite award. Both delegations are also considering the character of this arbitration—whether it should be political or juridical. President Harding or the United States Supreme Court are the alternatives most frequently mentioned. THE VOICE FROM WITHIN By GRACE McDOWELL Why has the heart restless yearnings For heights and steps untried? Some call it the voice of longing And others the voice of God. No one gets very far in this world or expresses great power until he catches a glimpse of his higher self— until he feels that the divinity which is stirring within him and which impels him on in the way of his ambition is a prophecy of his-bility to reach the ideal which haunts him. The Creator has not put desires in our hearts without giving us the opportunity for realising them. There are a thousand proofs in every detail of our marvelous structure to achieve grand and glorious things that we were created and fitted for success and happiness. No matter how unfortunate your environment or how unpromising your present condition, if you cling to your vision and keep struggling toward its realization, you are meditating building, enlarging your ideal, increasing the power of your mental magnet to attract your own. Never mind opposition, never mind criticism, never mind if others call you a fool or a crank, they called the Christ the same. Be true to the mysterious message within the divine voice which bids you up and on. No matter what other things you have to give up, no matter what sacrifices you have to make, let everything else go, if necessary, but cling to the ideal which haunts your dreams, for it points to the star of your destiny, and if you follow it you will come out of the darkness into the beauty and brightness. Your highest ideal, the work which you long to make real, in your best friend. Keep as close to it as you possibly can, and it will lead you to your goal. You may not understand why the star has been placed so high above you and why so many mountains of obstacles and difficulties intervene, but if you keep your eye on the star and listen to it, voice of your soul, which bids you climb on, you will reach it. 4 Negro World A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League MARCUS GARVEY .....

BLACK VS. WHITE LEADERSHIP THE miraculous and phenomenal growth of the U. N. I A during the past four years had set the judicious thinking. The thoughtless look only at the surface and think only of the immediate success or failure of the industrial projects which are the outgrowth of the Garvey Movement. But the thoughtful look beneath the surface and see the dynamic and developmental forces which are working in the minds and hearts of black men everywhere. The enthusiasm with which the masses flocked to the U. N. I A. showed that it promised something that the social organizations under white management, the racial organizations, the fraternal organizations and churches did not give, and that was a liberation of the Black Man's soul, a belief that he could go out and achieve not only in the Western Hemisphere, but in his home land. From the days when the anti-slavery leaders chose Frederick Douglass as their colored spokesman seventy-five years ago, up to the summer of 1909, when the Boston and New York editors, publicists and philanthropists lifted Dr. Du Bois upon their agis and proclaimed him a Negro chieftain, black men had on a whole accepted the leaders their white friends chose for them. It was almost impossible for a man of color to command a following among his own race, unless some white man of wealth and prominence or a group of powerful and wealthy white men stamped their imprimatur upon him and gave him their O. K. It would have been almost impossible for a movement, solely guided and controlled by black men, as the U. N. I. A. is, to have made headway ten years ago. It would have been absolutely impossible twenty years ago. And it would have been unthinkable thirty years ago. Why the change in the black man's attitude? Thereby hangs a tale. In horse racing the art is to pick winners. Well, the white friends of the colored brother have selected leaders for black men for seventy-five years. The first fifty years they picked winners, and in the last twenty-five years they did not pick winners. In the last twenty-five years the white friends of the Negro picked five leaders who could not deliver the goods, two because they lacked the required intellectual equipment and three because they lacked the required magnetism. All possessed ability of a certain sort, but not the required ability. Now that is the story in a nutshell. It would extend beyond the space of this editorial to take up in detail all five cases. We will only take up one case, the Boston case. The philanthropists of that city have chosen a Negro lawyer as the black man's chieftain. He has been a successful lawyer, is a brilliant conversationalist, and is a fairly good orator. But he does-not tower like Saul above his black fellows. A graduate of a Negro college in the South, a graduate of a small law school in the North, a man whose busy professional career has prevented his being more than a dilettante in philosophy, sociology and literature, he is, while bright and clever, not remarkable intellectually. Then, again, while a pleasant man to meet socially, he has not the magnetism as a speaker nor the interest in the masses of his race to command a large popular following. Then why was he chosen as the leader of the Boston Negroes? Simply because his powerful white friends found him reliable and likeable. But that does not indicate that he possesses the intellectual gifts and personality that makes one a born leader of men. This man's powerful white friends let the fact that they liked him and found him agreeable in conversation to blind them to the fact as to whether he was endowed by nature with those intellectual and personal gifts which make one a compeller of crowds. And so during the past quarter of a century by failing to pick winners, by failing to select leaders who can deliver the goods, the Caucasian friends of the Negro are losing their former grip upon the black brothers and don't understand what the trouble is. The trouble is that there is no one Negro towering above his fellows like a colossus as Fred Douglass did fifty and sixty years ago; but a small group of brilliant and forceful Negroes in Boston, a group in New York, a group in Philadelphia, a group in Washington and a group in Chicago. In a word, there are half a dozen leaders in each one of these cities who possess considerable ability and influence, like a group of powerful feudal lords. But no Saul or king stands among them. And hence no one can at random select any one of these men, set him on a pedestal and expect those who are his peers in ability and influence, and sometimes his superiors, to bow down and worship him. The white philanthropists who have attempted to select Negro leaders have meant well, only they don't realize that there were so many trainty Negroes. Now that is where Marcus Garvey won out as a propagandist. He didn't select men who held chairs in colleges, pastored strong churches and were prominent socially. But he selected men who could sway audiences; men who could master the art of writing. He gathered around on the most brilliant writers and orators in the race. He himself is a man orator and forceful writer. And that is why his propaganda machine mobilized hundreds of thousands of black men and women in four wars. He did not select pink tea leaders, parlor ornaments, drawing mats and dress parade captains, but men who could deliver the podium. The world knows the result. We are not dealing with a quid juris but quid fact question. We are disbelieving the question as to whether Negroes ought to follow the black leaders. But we are only showing why the black leaders belong to the white friends of the Negro have failed to lead. new words so to the future. As the number of brainy and brilliant are increasing more and more, it will be harder in the future to receive future programs, such as the African line and the hottest programs, down the African number. And the ones who will THE NEGRC WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 3. 1922 OF LAFCADIO HEARN THE magazines and literary reviews are full of lauded comments on the work of Lafcadio Hearn, "this Greek-Irish American journalist who died as Yakumo Zoizumi." It is but while the critics speak voluminously of his celebrations and published under the title of "Talks to Writers" events at the University of Toklo, and of his racy and about Hearn's early work in fiction. But this is a note about the Negro. It is even whispered that he veins. "Chita," a story of a Louisiana octoroon of descriptive writing. The protagonist in it is red black, a sea-devil on a coral isle outside of New Orleans. Barcelonaon foster mother is a pretty, dark-eyed is another of Hearn's creole tales that has immortalized literature. It is the story of a Martiniquian slavily, romantically told. Not a thing in it is said for Hearn was not a propagandist. But it pictured an eyed Juliet in a vivid and entirely Hearnesque something picturesque about Hearn's style. Like Roe, simulated the spoken language to the nth degree. Of patois, creole, African, West Indian, Spanish, Iberid dialects. Hearn also wrote a fascinating tales in the French West Indies "Unlike Harry Frank but the Negro in a kind, understanding way. It is an american critics lay particular stress on his work as it is more illuminating creole stories. THE magazines and literary reviews are full of laudatory comments on the work of Lafcadio Hearn, "this Greek-Irish-Amer- ican journalist who died as Yakumo Zolizumi." It is interesting to note that while the critics speak voluminously of his celebrated lectures (collected and published under the title of "Talks to Writers") to literature students at the University of Tokio, and of his racy style, not a word is said about Hearn's early work in fiction. But this is significant Hearn wrote about the Negro. It is even whispered that he had creole blood in his veins. "Chita," a story of a Louisiana octoroon, is a marvelous bit of descriptive writing. The protagonist in it is a stalwart, he-manized black, a sea-devil on a coral isle outside of New Orleans, and Chita's Barcelona foster mother is a pretty, dark-eyed Negress. "Youma" is another of Hearn's creole tales that has immortalized itself in American literature. It is the story of a Martiniquan slave girl, and is beautifully, romantically told. Not a thing in it is said for or against slavery, for Hearn was not a propagandist. But it pictured the soul of this saucer-eyed Juliet in a vivid and entirely Hearnesque way. And there is something picturesque about Hearn's style. Like Rene Maran, Hearn assimilated the spoken language to the nth degree. His books are full of patois, creole, African, West Indian, Spanish, French and myriad Negroid dialects. Hearn also wrote a fascinating travel work. "Two Years in the French West Indies." Unlike Harry Franck, Hearn wrote about the Negro in a kind, understanding way. It is natural, then, that the American critics lay particular stress on his work as a critic, instead of his more illuminating creole stories.

Thomas Fortune marshaled the Negro chieftains in the National capitol to discuss the Negro's political and civil status and to prepare a series of resolutions That organization was called the National Afro-American Council. For four years and a half that organization mobilized the leading churchmen and scholars of the various denominations, and the prominent lawyers, editors and politicians of the race. The organization was short lived, but it had a big ideal, the ideal of unity of effort. Today we find a multitude of organizations, whose objective is the amelioration of the social, civic, political and industrial condition of the black man. The U. N. I. A, the N. A. A. C. P, the Equal Rights League and the National Race Congress. Why can't these organizations get together so that when memorializing Congress they will act in unison instead of each hustling separately? The latest report is that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will be reported out of the sub-committee and put on the Senate calendar on Monday May 22nd. The N. A. A. C. P. claims the victory. It is undoubtedly true that the prestige of Hon Moorfield Storey and Editor Oswald Garrison Villard helped the cause along. It is undoubtedly true that the fearless declarations of the U. N. I. A had its psychological effect. But the fact remains that William Monroe Trotter headed a delegation, of which Maurice W. Spencer, Judge E. M Hewlett Rev Dr Shaw and Jas. F. Hill were members, and saw Seril Lodge, Borah and Congressman Dyer and received assurances that the Dyer Bill would be reported out. And he who runs may read. THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BEAR one credits the bear with being a philosopher. He frank among the most intelligent of the lower animals, ungainly and powerful, good natured at times, but used, especially the grizzly bear, no one imagines sophizing. We saw a big black bear in New Bedford, Mass, when it Tuesday we visited Buttonwoods Park. We saw riding and playing at fighting. We saw one little bear on the cage. And then we went over to the enclosure where we reigned supreme. Of the bears was big, enormously big. He seemed to credit him with any agility. A sawed off tree was sure. The upper limbs were sawed off. We saw the climb the trunk and crawl out on the lowest limb. It ten minutes of manipulating he grasped a higher jaw and soon was stretched serenely upon it, letting afternoon sun play upon his hide. This is where the philosophy of the bear comes in. The limb six or seven feet from the ground, which ran at an inclined angle. It would have been very difficult to climb directly up to the limb by the main trunk, so nothing, he climbed the trunk and crawled out on the one could gradually negotiate the upper limb. That is the way of life. A thing that we can not obtain bound, we can obtain indirectly by the means of near at hand and then using it as a vantage point, want if we have the patience of the Buttonwoods but there are sermons in rocks and trees. Well, we go bear. No one credits the bear with being a philosopher. He does not rank among the most intelligent of the lower animals. Huge, ungainly and powerful, good natured at times, but ferocious when aroused, especially the grizzly bear, no one imagines his doing any philosophizing. But we saw a big black bear in New Bedford, Mass, who gave us a hint. Last Tuesday we visited Buttonwoods Park. We saw four little bears boxing and playing at fighting. We saw one little bear climb up the rails of the cage. And then we went over to the enclosure where three large bears reigned supreme. One of the bears was big, enormously big. He seemed to be fat. No one would credit him with any agility. A sawed off tree was standing in the enclosure. The upper limbs were sawed off. We saw the big Brum leisurely climb the trunk and crawl out on the lowest limb. He took his time. After ten minutes of manipulating he grasped a higher limb with his fore paws and soon was stretched serenely upon it, letting the warm rays of afternoon sun play upon his hide. Now this is where the philosophy of the bear comes in. His objective was a limb six or seven feet from the ground, which ran off of the main trunk at an inclined angle. It would have been very difficult for the big bear to climb directly up to the limb by the main trunk, so he did the next best thing, he climbed the trunk and crawled out on the lower limb and then he could gradually negotiate the upper limb. Now that is the way of life. A thing that we can not obtain directly at a sudden bound, we can obtain indirectly by the means of obtaining something near at hand and then using it as a vantage point, obtain the thing we want if we have the patience of the Buttonwoods bear. Some one said that there are sermons in rocks and trees. Well, we got a lesson from the bear.

Liberia has never had a fair chance as one of the younger nations. The strong white nations have not shown Liberia nor Hayti and Santo Domingo that friendly interest which they have had a right to expect of them in their early struggles for existence and to maintain their independence and nationality. The white nations like England, France and the United States have been quite willing to loan money to Liberia, and whenever either of them has done so they have been careful to safeguard their loans to secure themselves against loss by driving a hard bargain with these little struggling Negro republics. France, some years ago, seized one of the riches (in natural resources) parts of Liberia along the Cavalla River, for the non-payment of money due her, and we believe she still holds these lands. The United States loan to Liberia now having been made, the prospecta are that it will take over the Liberian customs and other departments yielding revenue to secure itself from possible loot. There are Negroes enough in this country and the world to underwrite the Liberian loan, and they will show great foreseeight and much wisdom by undertaking the task of saving Liberia from the permanent grasp of the white race. It is up to us to help Liberia pay back this loan so that Liberia shall live as the only independent Newer Republic in the world, and Liberia must and shall live! 4308 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill., May 21, 1922. Mr. A. H. Maloney, The Negra World, New York City. Dear Bir: About three thousand years ago a Greek philosopher wrote: "The greatest enemy of mankind is not the tyrant but the contented slave." Unfortunately, the tyrant is never content with the discontent of the slave because the tyrant always fears that the dominating methods he adopts in his tyrannical progress might be emulated by the slave when his discontent becomes manifestly marked and pertinaciously insistent. This fear is the cause for repression on the part of the tyrant who, paradoxically, exhibits the magnitude of his weakness in proportion to the strength or the force he introduces into his repressive measures against the slave. Throughout the darker world the lighter-hued tyrant has introduced a system of repression and aggression which goes to prove that he is obsessed by that fear of retribution which ever haunts the guilty tyrant whose hands are dyed in the blood of the innocent, whose coffers are bulging with the wealth he has stolen from the credulous and helpless victims of his lust and whose discontent he fears will at no distant date sweep him from a self-imposed domination. The lighter-hued land pilfers who assembled at the Paris Peace Conference by staking out claims in various portions of Asia and Africa under the guise of self-conferred "Mandates," were quite unaware of the troubles they were storing up for themselves. These iron-painted statesmen of lath had soon forgotten their bleatings about the "War to end wars" and the remaking of a world that would be "safe for democracy." It is true that some European thrones have toppled over, the king business has become unprofitable, and republics, mushroom-like, have sprung up in a night, but such democracy as obtains is not "safe," neither has the war "ended war," for the Armagedon of which we heard so much during the strenuous days of the World War is yet to come. Russia continues to arm because she knows democracy is not safe and that another war must be fought to make it so. Turkey continues to fight because the peace muddlers and mandate founders, in spite of their protestations, did not care how many men among the lower orders of society were sacrificed to the greed of the highly placed. They were out for loot and the "protection of the Christians" in the Turkish Empire was at once a sentimental and alluring slogan which would assist the few in the furtherance of their designs to seize the rich mineral deposits in Asia Minor and exploit the fruitful lands of Mesopotamia. I have been reading The Negro World and the mental product of its staff for over two years, and I am forced to say to you that your article on "Negro Economic Serfdom" is (in my opinion) the best that I have ever read by anyone except Karl Marx. I would advise you not to let those truths lie dormant. They should be put in book form and kept. In debating with a Socialist sometime ago, I said in a few words what you have given in a more complete and masterful manner. I said this: "I have a great deal more faith, confidence and respect for economical Socialism than I have for most economists and Socialists, I can tolerate true Christianity, but I have no confidence in, nor respect for, those commercialized Christians and their blind limitators of the present day." Too many of our tribe attempt to make a show or display of their Caucasianized "education." May God bless you all Long live Marous Garvey! You're truly, J. H. OLIVIER. BOOK NOTES "Batouala," the thrilling romance written by Rene Maran, the French Negro, that was awarded the literary prize by the Academy Goncourt, Paris, France, for the year 1921, will soon appear for the first time in the English language. This is the first story of its kind ever written and for that reason has attracted international attention. It accurately depicts African customs, and tells of the corrupt reign of the Caucasian in that country. In Africa, where the "Mandates" were distributed to England and France with a prodigy and a contempt for native aspiration which staggered the judicious, the people of the soil who think, have been inquiring from whom and from whence came these "Mandates" which imposed a foreign yoke upon a people who, after their experience of the ruthlessness of German rule within, and their observations of the by no means ideal French, Belgium, Portuguese and Spanish rule without, had every reason to expect that they would be left to their own political devices. Of course, it is a well known fact that were Africa a poor and unproductive country, the European Christian missionary bodies would have left what they are pleased to term "the poor beighted savage" to stew in his own juice, but the possession of a rich and veloped country was a sufficient excuse for the "pimanthropic" interest of these European exploiters—even the Negro hating and Negro bating South African Union was given a "Mandate" in the late German East African colonies which were won, for the most part, by black troops. Now, the peoples of these "Mandated" African colonies find that they have escaped the deep sea of German administrative ruthlessness only to fall into the arms of the devil of an misjudous and hypocritical British and French appassion. Mr. Maran, the author of the wonderful book, is the best-known Negro writer of the present time, the story having been favorably commented upon in every tongue because of its extraordinary features. The novel is intensely appealing to race-loving Negroes in all quarters of the globe. The author richly deserves the success he has achieved, and his work is certain of an enthusiastic reception in America. EDITORIAL NOTES "Congress ought to wipe out the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly representative democracy. "We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population, and that in a number of States they constitute a very large proportion of the total population." Rene Maran has exposed the cancerous sore of African Colonial administration, but the repressive measures of Brittica African and West Indian Colonial Government have yet to be written. In the British African colonies, the English administrator is a law unto himself. The mere Native has no rights which the Englishman, official or trader, feels bound to respect. Not only is he denied elementary justice, but the fact of his being a Native causes him to be the butt of any white man who is dependent upon his operations in Africa for his support. In the British West Indies conditions are slightly easier for the Negroid inhabitants who form the major part of the population. In Africa representative government is denied the Native on the assumption that he is quite unfitted to rule himself, yet, in those "protected" areas where the British rule through native administrative institutions, the ill effects of inequitable administration is always set down to Native incompetence, although all administration is subject to British official supervision and direction. Right, Mr. President. But at the rate lynchers are reducing the large proportion — eight lynchings in two weeks—it will be very greatly reduced if something is not done to stop it. What are you going to do about it, Mr. President? STAR OF THE EVENING SKY Star of the evening sky, Gleaming so faint afar. Art thou not glad that Night is nigh. When thou may't shine more bright on high Than any other star? "Nay." said the Star, "tis not for me. Tis not for me that Night is nigh. Tis but for thee, and those like thee. That for the need of Night would die." To the West Indian Negro, whose educational advantages have placed him in that intellectual appreciative position which enables him to understand the arts of parliamentary government, the opportunity for representative government is denied because he forms the bulk of the population of those islands and the planter class being mainly white is unwilling to be governed by the colored people, although the average intelligence and education of the colored people is of a higher standard than that which obtains in the case of the whites. This is proved by the number of brilliant colored lawyers and others who have held high judicial as well as minor official positions under the Crown, and who, but for their high intellectual and educational attainments, would never have been allowed such exalted positions in the administration by the dominant whites. These people, for over a quarter of a century, have been agitating unsuccessfully for an extension of the franchise. Owing to the representations of Sir John Pope Hennessy and the sympathetic leanings of Lord Canarvan, the British Colonial Government, during the eighties of the last century, was inclined to weld the West Indian administration into one confederated whole, and this would have been accomplished but for the active opposition of the planters, the English Tory Government, under Lord Salisbury, and the destructive work of James Anthony Froude, the historian whose "Hystory of the English in the West Indies" was written with the diabolical intention of wrecking any movement in England that might be directed towards any form of liberal or representative government in those islands. Late last year Major Wood was sent to the West Indies by the British Colonial Office on a tour of investigation. He was there bombarded by resolutions asking for a more liberal and comprehensive form of government; but inasmuch as the planters for reasons already stated were unfavorable to any plan which would not only give the Negroids control of an elective legislature, but would also be the means of legislative measures being introduced which would bring about the readjustment of the appalling labor conditions which at present prevail, it is to be feared that Major Wood's visit will share the fate of all previous commissions which have attempted to solve the political disabilities and enhance the economic conditions of the Negroids within the British Empire. Moreover, and this is the most discouraging sign, the majority of the educated Negroids, both in the West Indies and in Africa, have ranged themselves alongside the white traders and planters. They are unable to see that their children will reap the ill effects of their contented acceptance of a false security. These colored men who think white are not only contented slaves but are also the enemies of the race which they dishonor and of mankind at large. Whether, therefore, we take the tyrannies which England, France, Belgium, Portugal or Spain have put into operation against the colored peoples of the world, the blame for these tyrannies mainly rest with these slaves who bask in that contentment which is produced by the European's smile of apprehension.

KORNA LEKGL THE DYER BILL As we expected, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which in its present form is class legislation, has or is about to be put on the tobogan, headed for its pigeon hole in the Senatorial mausoleum. --- The Senate Judiciary Committee has practically thrown it out on the ground that it is unconstitutional and never would stand the test before the Supreme Court. It looks now as if a new bill will have to be framed, as the present measure is doomed. We never had much faith in bills of this character framed for the purpose of protecting any particular class of citizens. The Civil Rights Bill, the Blair Educational Bill, and now the Dyer Bill were all of them drafted in the interests of the Negro, and pains were taken to put them in the discard. It is quite likely that we have heard the last of the Dyer Bill, and the reasons ought to be quite obvious to those of us who know the history of this case of legislation.

Thugg and Bulle beg to announce that owing (o the recent war in Europe, now happily ended. a great scarcity of Negroes has been created In the Southland, due to the fact that thousands of burly Negroes have been Grafted in the Federal Army by the General Government, a0 that the lyneb- ing industry has been very seriously handicapped. We have not thought it wise nor polite to “start anything” among tho few old and decrepit Ne- grees left behind to till the felds and Go the drudgery. and so we have been obliged to defer our rerular lynch- Ing bees, which have been so popular heretofore, until conditions return to normal The fact that our most lkely Negroes are now out of the country helping our white brothers to eave the world for hypocrisy and democracy, 1s greatly responsible for the slump in our business, ant tr the smal! num- ber of lynchings during the past year We are, however, plzased to announce to our myriad of friends and patrons that the outlook for big business due to the cessation of hostilities and the possible return to this country of num- bers of these “Fresh Necroes™ te very promising, and that we are hopiog econ to begin where we left off—to put the fear of the Lord and the superior race mto the hearta of these returning black “heroes.” Aw a preliminary to the opening of our campaign of fright- fulness we shall pull off a race riot at Winston-Salem, N.C, on orvabout No- vomber 11.

WHITE AND BLACK IN AFRICA In the May lasue of “Current His- tory” Mr. Harold Wodsca of the “Natal Advertiser” sounded an alurca for his race to awake ts the fact of the precarious peattion tn which they st00d om the African cemtinent. Pointing est the slender bold the white man hes in tbe Drench and Spaniah Mediterranean colenies and Ube threadiike hold of bis eutpests te the tntertor, be goes on to say that only tn the extreme south of the af- rican continent oan the white mas boast succcesfully of » home on the African soil, If the white man can bold his own in South Africa, it matters itt- Ue bow much be may blunder tm the other sections ax the strength of his power depends upon bis ability to hold his cwn in the south. Analyzing this waruing issued by @ white editor to bis fellow race +n, the thought struck me very foreibly— wil the Negro peoples cf the wartd awake and grasp the opportunity to Fegain for their ancestors the land which was stolen from their forefath- era by the progenitors of this Natal editor who somehow fecls very un- canny about the futare of his race in {hie vast continent of Diack humaaity which Is Increasing enormously, while bis own race te diminiahing appell- tngiy? He warned hie race that if thc. tn- tend to maintain thelr position is Af- rica there must be Increased emigra- Ucn In large numbers, or else prepare for a struggle to hold thelr owo—the survival of the fittest. Speaking of the Bantu or native Af. Fican people, although in constant touch with Europeans, they do not Jose their family traditions They keep tm constant touch with their tribal hemes and ways of thinking and take back the wealth they accumulated from their European over-lords to bullé up thelr traditional welfare among themselves, Whether this non-assimilation of European {deas ie better or not for the African, time alone will tell when tm due season there will be a test of the supremacy of white versus black for the control of the African continent. In my humble opinion it ts a bless- Ing that the African do not assisailate the European Ideas and its allurements of civilization. Its assimilation by the Negroes of the Western Icmisphere has tondered to destroy their racial Identity as well as thelr pride of race, thus making them easy prey to cau- castan wiles, and detrimental to the Negro’a progress as « racial unit Ia tho family of races of the world. ‘Two processes of very great import- ance are going In the native mind, says this editor of the Natal Adver- Uses, “and which are making them- selves rapidity folt In spite of the many ndrances that are put {0 the way.” Firat of these fs acquisition uf Eu- ropean education and the great rapid- Sty of ita acquisition although dented an outlet for ita expression Secondly ‘4 politico-economic education through the Influence of the white labor untona, although denied a place in thelr unione.

CLAUDE M'KAY'S "HARLEM SHADOWS" AN APPRECIATION BY HODGE KIRNON ```markdown ``` This simple appreciation of Claude Mickey's poems is done in obedience to an appreciative urge which is too strong and insistent to be ignored entirely. I trust that my readers will read and study it in the spirit in which it is offered. It is not a boost indeed. I can lay no claim to this parable virtue. If it is really such I remember first reading of Claude McKay in Pearson's Magazine I think it was in the summer of 1913 I was then living out of this city. It was an autobiographical sketch with a few of his poems appended. I took no particular interest in the writer or his poems at the time. In fact, I mislaid the magazine before I had the opportunity of reading the article. Then at a later date I came across a poem entitled "Soul and Body" in Pearson's written by McKay. This poem made a profound impression upon me. From then up to this time I have entertained a profound interest and admiration for the writings of Mr McKay In "Harlem Shadows" Claude McKay appears at good advantage. He exhibits ability and talent of no mean merit. I was suspicious of the soundness of Mr Eric Walrond, of the Negro World review when he said that there was not a mediocre poem in the entire lot. But I now fully endorse his opinion with added emphasis. In every poem there is exhibited a remarkable and subtle balancing of thought and emotion of a nature that is rare indeed. Nothing really essential to good poetry is over-emphasized or sacrificed. A wonderful sense of harmony and completeness prevails throughout the entire volume. There is nowhere any attempt at being clever, big or showy. There is a complete absence of affectation. His power lies in his simplicity. He does not choose "big" themes. He absolutely refuses to be imposed upon by himself with shallow and hollow pretences. He follows with an unpretentious docility, his natural inclinations in the selection of themes. He seems to write under no other urge than that of natural impulse, and what seems strangely interesting is that his knowledge and impulse seem so trained towards perfection that no subject is being ill-treated by lack of treatment or overtreatment. It is to Mr. McKay's credit that he does not specialize in any sort of propaganda themes, whether they be racial or otherwise. The big soul is universal. There are very few of his poems that would not make a universal human appeal regardless of time, place or circumstance. The spirit and thoughts expressed in his work are fundamental life experiences in some form or other in all human beings. In order of arrangement the poem, "America," makes a very powerful appeal to me. I quote the first four lines. Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tiger's snout. Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth! The last line truly expresses in a most satisfactory manner what I have always felt and thought to be the main redeeming feature of America. And I dare say many other allens like myself have felt and thought in like manner without ever giving them expression. McKay penetrates and probes to a depth not to be easily surpassed the spiritual isolation and loneliness which many of us—rich and poor, white and black—have felt quite often in the heart of the noise and bustle of this great city in the poem "On Broadway" He speaks for the many lonely, struggling, straggling souls that are stranded in awful loneliness amidst the great crowds. An outstanding feature of McKay is his political fancy for things that appear even to the observant and responsive, meaningless and commonplace. At his hands they live and throb with life. They are humanized. As a typical example take the "Subway Wind." I select the following lines, for they vividly portray the theme: *Far down, down through the city's great, gaunt gut.* The gray train rushing bears the weary Another pertinent feature of this volume of poems is that one really cannot be but conscious of the "genuine breath of the tropic," to use Mr. Rubert Harvillen's words. A certain mildness and serenity pervades and permeates nearly every poem. McKay is a lover of nature. Of that there is no doubt. There are several poems dealing with one or the other aspect of nature. There are "The Easter Flower," "Winter in the Country," "To Winter," "Hurting in New Hampshire," "North and South" and others. The first is of excellent quality, and, simply humble animation, can stand comparison with some of the best of William Cullen Bryant and the great English singer of nature, William Wordworth. But, there are not all by any means. Money teaches philosophical, thematic and subtleties upon matters metaphysical. 'If I Know My Soul' he knows a physical philosopher! best that we ask of already characteristic of human Soul. MAGAZINE am continued that Mr Claude McKay possesses an exceptional political talent. He is an esthetician in the best sense of the word. He is true to him self. At least I feel that I am justified in making this statement. An honest work which is expressive of one individuality is art in the creative sense limitation is always superficial at best when not made subordinate to the individual personality. Eusthetic beauty is greater and beyond objective beauty. And this McKay seems to know. He records his own deepest soul experiences in his most intense moods and in so doing, he holds before his readers a true picture of their inner life and in this recognition of self lies the possibility of spiritual growth. To understand and appreciate Claude McKay's poems one must be capable of studying and understanding life through the emotions, for a sympathetic and appreciative understanding is possible only through the feelings. WEEKLY SERMON By Q. EMONEI CARTER Subject — The Greatest Ensign Text- Isa. 62 10 'Lift Up a Standard for the People' Man has always rallied to some standard. He is thrilled, encouraged and made jubilant by the colors of his choice being carried to honor. This is easily proved by observing the tendency of even schools having special colors. Lot us briefly scan the history of man as he has come to the standard Not anything brings greater joy to the heart of an Englishman than the Union Jack. The Frenchman leaps into the air and applauds when the blue, white and red is unfurled. The German yells himself hoarse when the black, white and green is given to the breeze. The Italian sees himself again in saving Italy when the green, white and red is behead. The greatest consternation is evidenced when Old Glory is waved, and men stand with bowed heads as the Stars and Stripes go by being proud carried by some proud bearer But behold a new day has come, a new folk is here and with the new Negro has come a new standard or colors to which 400,000,000 black folks can subscrib—the Red. Black and Green. It bespends volumes for its adherents. It brings ample protection in its folds. It heralds to the world the longings of an oppressed folk, who are no less loyal to the colors for which they have given their full measure of love and devotion through the shedding of their blood; but the innate desire to rally to those colors, which will accord alike to all the people the same protection. We know this standard has not been generally accepted as yet, but it will be when Africa is redeemed and we are again sojourneying in the land of our fathers. Men delight to carry their colors to the front. They delight to sacrifice even life to preserve their colors unsuilled. Many illustrations from history bear this out. Say, friends, have you stopped to think that all these colors are emblems of world powers? That they are symbols of glory that rise and wane with the nations that they represent? They will each pass away, but I am recommending to you an emblem of glory, power and dominion. Moses lifted it up as an ensign in the wilderness, as a type of the greatest ensign that was ever lifted up to the world on Calvary, as a ransom for all mankind. One gaze on this standard will send a thrill through the gaze. One embrace of the colors will bring joy unalloyed. One rally to the colors will work wonders in giving buoyancy and hope. This ensign possesses life everlasting. The others are man-made and must cease to live when nations crumble and fall in their glory. But the ensign of Christ never changes, it stands all kinds of tests; and has always some faithful color bearer. Very often it is a mask obscure life; but it understands the lessons, taught by the colors, and reflects the glory of the standard. Sometimes it is a burdened life, that gases and then has its load lifted by the joy that comes through the look. Sometimes it is a depressed people crying for justice and ample protection, but in the folds of this ensign there is righteousness and a safeguard for all lils here and hereafter. No battle is too great to dislodge these colors. However heavily the battle may be waged, the colors are never allowed to trail in the dust. They are carried to the front with honor and glory. Does it pay to rally to the colors of your choice? Does it pay to rally to this greatest assign? Both important questions. Perhaps this illustration will help to answer the question. An angry mob in the Southland was bent upon destroying the life of a young Negro who was accused of a crime; but in the crowd stood a white friend of this Negro, who believed in the innocence of the Negro, and who did his best to disguise the mob from carrying out its intentions. His pleadings were in vain, until he pulled from under his coat Old Glory and threw it over the scowled form of the Negro, who had fallen to the ground by the well-directed, blow of this cruel, heartless mob. No man dared to pull the flag from the body of the Negro. No one dared to pollute the choice of this country, even though it included not only numbers, that has THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 3. 1922 DREAMING1 I love to think of the sunny days When I used to go to school, The wonder of the danty lays That the larks sang in the cool. I love to think of the morning hours, When the dewdrops kissed the leaves. When the bees displayed their many powers. I love to think of the boys and girls That played in the shade with me. The ganial dreams of distant worlds. When our thoughts from care were free. But rolling years have ceased to bring. The treasures for which we prayed, For life is but a fickle thing, When the rose begins to fade. Thus, many are scattered far and wide, And some, where the saints agree; While others bereft on the river side Are pleading for liberty. And I, with the ebbing tide drift On. is beaming upon me so. CHARLES H. ESTE. part protection here It paid in this instance. And this story is typical of the man- tle of love that was thrown about you and me when we were assailed by the powers of darkness and sin, when we were wounded and bleeding in the meaches of wrong-doing The Christ ensign was wrapped about us and we were saved through all eternity Did it pay? It is apparent that its enfoils are ample and its protection secure. Let us have a spiritual awakening, a rallying to the greatest Ensign and all will be conductive to growth in the right direction, and our race will reflect the light of this Ensign. PRINCE HALL MASONRY IN NEW YORK STATE By HARRY A. WILLIAMSON [GREAT Historian of the Prince Hall Masons of New York. Associate Editor of Masonic Quarterly Review, Masonic scholar, and the author of the only bibliography of its kind. "The Negro in Masonic Literature."] Anent the several articles pertaining to Prince Hall Masonry, which have recently been given publication in the Negro World. It seems a question has arisen in the minds of many of your readers relative to the origin of Freemasonry among the Negroes in this State; therefore, will you kindly permit a few remarks upon the subject, that any doubts along that line may be cleared away? By virtue of proper authority delegated by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, formerly known as the African Grand Lodge, Freemasonry was planted in this State with the establishment of Royer Lodge No. 1 in the City of New York, on February 16, 1812. This lodge, which is still in existence, was named after General Boyer, whose exploits are very familiar to students of Haitian history. Occasional public notices of the activity of Boyer Lodge (or as it was very often known in those days, the African Lodge of New York), until quite a lengthy notice was printed in several of the New York City newspapers, signed by Sandy Lattison as the Master, under the date of October 3, 1818, calling upon the members of the lodge to meet on the sixth of the said month for the "express purpose of receiving additional instructions in the sublime and exalted science and mysteries of Masonry." The call issued for this meeting so disturbed the mind of the Deputy Grand Master of the white Grand Lodge of New York that he issued a call for a special session of his Grand Lodge, which was held October 7, 1818, "to consider the origin and objects of the advertisement" of the Master "of the African Lodge." The result of this conference was the appointment of a special committee of five brethren, namely, Coffin, Hunter, Boyd, Marsh and Stephena, who were directed to make certain inquiries into the matter and to report at the earliest possible data. This committee reported the result of its investigations on the third of March, 1818, and, in part, stated as follows: "He (Sandy Lattion) has assorted to a deputation from this committee that the institution called together by those notices was actually organized, had assembled, and did still periodically meet. That proper authority had been furnished him from both the States of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts: that the authority from the latter State proceeds from an African Lodge now in operation there." The report of the session of the white Grand Lodge of New York for March 9, 1818, concludes with the following statement: "The report was accepted and no further order taken on the subject." From this statement one is readily convinced the white brethren conceded the regularity of Boyer Lodge, also further acted in the premises would have been taken. (See proceedings of N. T., 1818. page 88. also proceedings for 1819 page 89 ) The subject of the Negro brothers was again brought to the attention of the white Grand Lodge of New York by one Elias Hicks who requite a lengthy report relative to Boyer Lodge at a session held on March 4 1829. In the meantime the number of Negro lodges in New York State had increased from one to four namely, Celestial No. 1 now No. 3 Hiring Sun No. 4, later adverted to No. 2, but now Xitine and Hiram No. 4, which still holds the same number upon the release of the present Grand Lodge. All of these Lodges were located in New York City and were warranted during the year 1829 by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. They continued to work regularly and worked together in peace and harmony as individual units under the aforementioned Grand Lodge until March 14 1846 upon which date a General Assembly of the Craft was held in the City of New York for the purpose of forming the Negro Freemasons of the State into a single organization. The outcome of this assembly was the formation of the Boyer Grand Lodge of New York F & A M. The first grand body of Freemasons of color and composed of the four Lodges previously mentioned. This body functioned until October 13 1848 when it was reorganized under the title of "The Grand Lodge of New York, F & A M." During the year 1847 a number of the leading Negro Masons from several States proposed the formation of a general Grand Lodge. When the subject was proposed to the Boyer Grand Lodge it met with considerable opposition so much that a schism occurred the reorganization in 1848. The general Grand Lodge was formed under the title of The National Grand Lodge of North America and was nicknamed the National Compacts but from the outset the movement never proved much of a success and in the course of years gradually ceased to exist. The accedents from the Boyer Grand Lodge organized a New York State adjunct to the National Grand Lodge. Thus for a time there were two Negro Grand Lodges in this territory. Another Grand Lodge invaded the State during the latter part of the 50s it was known as the "Philanthropic Grand Lodge of North America" and claimed or from Pennsylvania. In the early 60s another Grand Lodge was either formed within this State or invaded the territory from elsewhere, known as the "Ortis Grand Lodge. The United Grand Lodge refused to recognize either of the two bodies just mentioned, for neither could furnish legal documentary evidence of authority for their establishment, and there are no records to state whether or not the Compacts recognized them. Both organizations disappeared from the records of the United Grand Lodge prior to 1870. Retracting steps for a while the records state that on the 6th day of June 1846, a "memorial from a number of persons styling themselves members of Boyer Lodge in the city of New York" and praying for recognition was laid before the white Grand Lodge of New York and referred to its Grand Secretary for report at the next annual session. Grand Secretary Herring of New York wrote Chas W. Moore Grand Secretary of Massachusetts to ascertain such facts as John T. Hilton, Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts would give relative to Boyer Lodge that the white Grand Lodge of New York might act accordingly in the premises. That the white Grand Secretary of Massachusetts recognized the regularity of their Negro brethren is simply expressed in the following significant statement, which can be found in pages 20 to 22. proceedings of New York for 1846. I (Mose of Mass.) explicated to him (Hilton) that did not call officially, but as a friend and at your (Herring of N.Y.) request, a view to ascertaining whether Boyer Lodge was a regular constituted lodge—such as the Grand Lodge (white) of New York could recognize. Then follows considerable matter relative to the warrant of Michael Lodge No. 459, which at this time has no direct relationship with the present narrative Grand Secretary Herring's conclusion was that irrespective of the facts in the case and such in information as he was able to obtain from Boston Boyer Lodge should not be recognized and be limit any further investigation by the Grand Lodge of New York the opinion of Herring was acquiesced in The United Grand Lodge also the Compact body continued their separate courses from 1848 until 1877. During the meantime as early as 1856, the New York Compacts made overtures to the United Grand Lodge from time to time, requesting conferences for the purpose of permitting the secorders to return to the parent body but the feeling in the United body was still very high and for many years it absolutely refused to have anything to do with those brethren. The formation of the Compact body became known later as a "great mistake" and the splitting of the craft throughout the State created many personal annuities; many life-long friendships were broken, never to be renewed. However, during the latter part of the 80s, with the younger element gradually coming into the control of Grand Lodge affairs, refused to turn deaf ears to the appeals of the Compacts and consequently a number of conferences were held during the succeeding years, until finally on the 27th day of December, 1877, in Shiloh Church, No. 140 Sixth avenue, New York city, amidst great rejoicing, the Compact Grand Lodge of New York, also known as the National Grand Lodge of New York, and the United Grand Lodge of New York, joined hands into a grand and united body for all time to come. A review of the records made of that P A G E event are interesting reading. The brethren brought all else for the time being for they indulged in prayers of thanksgiving, hymns of praise and shouts of joy. While many old friends were reviewed, many brethren tried the new season years had passed in the Great Unknown still holding amity in their hearts as a result of the schism many years before. The Prince Hall Masons of New York have every reason to be proud of their grand Lodge for it has been natural qualification in painting the seeds of the constitution in all directories of the com-munity. In 1863 Grand Lodge was established. Oversee Branch Lodge No. 8 in San Francisco, CA, and the records held with a warrant was conveyed by seas a Care Hohn from the east to the Western coast. This was followed by West Virginia Lodge No. 8 in the same city in 1865 Canada obtained its lightest in 1866 next with Mount Moshull Lodge No. 9 at Chattanooga in 1866 next with Mount Moshull Lodge No. 11 in 1865 at Dresden followed by Mer dian Sun No. 13 at Toronto more than interest in all the lodges ever entered upon the Guard Lodge register was Downshire No. 12 formed in 1870 at New York city. Its members p was composed entirely of Heaven's Master being Abraham Levy). The Senior Warden Drama Jones, the Junior Warden James John and it had among the members names as Simon Goddin Tobias John Meyer Rosenthal Morris Isaac Zindel Hebst and others as an Actor. Because of the Pharman War and then must all of a member referred to Europe fight in the end, the lodge ever served to fainn. Another lodge Elsie Slade Mason No. 35 now Prince Hall No. 38) naturally escaped a minor experience for all of the members were Cabara and it worked entirely in the Spanish language This lodge lost many of its members who joined it at a time from time to time to give their lives that she might be free of the Spanish yoke of oppression. This grand jurisdiction coasts the distinction of being the only one in America which has perpetrated the name of the first lodge of Negroes ever established upon American land for in the city of Brooklyn not met his ago African Lodge Long Fifty. Nine U D was duly under the most auspicious circumstances. In the eastern direction on the 30th of June 1871 Orientale Lodge No. 15 at New Haven County saw the first ray of light then the beam took a southerly direction and on the 4th of September 1573 the United Lodge warranted Excelsior Lodge No. 16 at Savannah ta. In mentioning the lodges established in Canada, one was omitted, namely Progress No. 14 at Hamilton, in 1872. Many of the best of Negro families in New York City and Brooklyn were identified with the Prince Hall Craft during the early days, and it might well be to mention just a few although there a bit few of your friends at this day and time who will understand and appreciate the relationship of those people in their several communities.

The Anti Ku Klux candidate running on the Republican ticket (notice winning out by only 483 votes) politically the G O P in Oregon was so near death's door during the running it could almost hear the creaking of the hinges. It is interesting to learn of the active interest our dear friends the Ku Klux are taking in Northern politics this year. It is equally most interesting to note its keen interest in the welfare of Christian churches" as well as how easily some ministers whose pains it has greased are falling over each other to give it a character and praise it for its good work. I observe that one person somewhere in Jersey says he had rather join the K K K than the K of C and that he called a colored minister in his audience to the platform to say a few words of commendation for the K K K Now I do not pretend to know a thing about the intentions or aims of the K K K I only know that the leaders of the group have declared through the press for absolute white supremacy in this country and this means if it means anything that the brown brethren must take a back seat or cla In getting the goal will of the churches and an occasional boost from some important pastor the organization will be able through this media to so crystalize sentiment for its white supremacy slogan that it will be impossible for the Negro to go to where he thinks he is going in the social and political process in which he is now marrying. The K K K is making excellent progress with its program and of the black brethren do not look sharp they will find themselves in the same dilemma that the Anti-Prohibitionist who posits pooled the prediction of the reformers that America would be dry to and by. America is almost dry now I am a little dry myself and many who will read that she are also dry, because the Right is stale a march on us all. In getting into politics the K K K is figuring by audible methods and game tactics, to get into states where the Negro vote counts and by appeal to the race pride and race prejudice of white men make it impossible for any Negro to be elected or for any white man depending on our votes to be elected. It wont require much argument or persuasion to make a white man see the danger of Negro domination. "This is the game the K K K is now playing in the North East and West. The South is solidly on its side so no missionary work is needed there. The plan is not only clever but workable and the Negro will see the fruition of the lakes of these hooded and gowled gentlemen in some of the elections in the states where we now think we hold the balance of power. I notice that the leading white journeymen and public men in both parties are saying a word against the pro- Negro of the K K K.

JAPAN HOLDS MASS MEETING OF PROTEST AGAINST INJUSTICES TO NEGROES IN AMERICA LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday Night, May 28.—Tonight's meeting in Liberty Hall was one of the most roaring meetings ever held in this great auditorium, and gave further proof of the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing more practical work for the uplift of the Negro people throughout the world than any organization that has hitherto been established for the purpose, for it is the medium whereby the race is kept informed of every happening that transpires affecting it, whether it be for or against its interests. Due to the wide-spread propaganda of the Association, the problem of the Negro is causing more grave concern to the other nations the world over than at any period in the history of the race. No more striking evidence of this fact could be furnished than that away in far-off Japan the Japanese are holding mass meetings protesting against the injustices perpetrated against Negroes in America, and that India and China are discussing ways and means for linking up together the hundreds of millions of darker peoples, wherever they be, in all parts of the world. This information was given out by Dr W Lucas, a visitor at Liberty Hall tonight, who delivered an address on Awakened Race Consciousness" which pleased the great audience immensely, at times throwing it into convulsions of laughter and at other times causing it to ponder seriously over the deficiencies of the Negro as a race Dr Lucas has a peculiar knack of saying things in such a way as to arouse the human and at the same time send home a truth that is pregnant with thought and real interest. He will be heard again in Liberty Hall on the evening of June 7, and it will be well worth while for everyone to hear the great message which he has to deliver The other speakers tonight were Rev Dr Maloney and Hon R L. Poston, second assistant to the Secretary General, whose addresses are always brimful of intellect, force and 'keep thought, and give the auditors something to think about as they depart from the meeting Dr Maloney spoke on the subject. The Victory That Overcomes,' and dwelt at length on the qualities that are essential to every race which has in view the building of a nation. He referred to the motives that inspired the Pilgrim Fathers to leave their native land and come to America to lay the foundation of the greatest republic that has ever been established. "It was an abiding faith," he said, "in their integrity, in their possibilities, and in the native capacity of themselves that they established this great American republic, and it is by virtue of the faith that controls us as a people—of that undying determination that is within us—that we shall accomplish that which seems impossible. It is by virtue of that faith that we shall be able to bring to pass that which prophets have declared and sages have sounded. Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand and princes shall come out of Egypt." He concluded by saying that if we have that faith, we shall attain unto governmental independence on the continent of Africa shall establish ourselves in racial solidarity and go on conquering and to conquer Hon R L Poston spoke on the subject of Our Place in the Sun and showed how the Negro race because of its disorganization, was left out of the equation when matters concerning the welfare of the world were being discussed "Nobody pays any attention to us," he said. Nobody seems to care, and it is simply because we are not organized. We are not building for the future of the race, and consequently the other races do not care for our company. A class of people who are not organized and are not preparing for the future, if let into the class of people who are doing those things would teach it bad habits, consequently the rest of the world does not want to have anything to do with us." He urged, in conclusion, that the Negro race seek to emulate the example of other races "Let us cease complaining," he said. "Let us cease exusing and do the things that we can do as a race, and we will advance this program 100 per cent." The chairman, Hon G Emonol Carter, read the following telegrams received from Hon Marcus Garvey, which were received with acclamation "Glenns Ferry, Idaho. To chairman of Liberty Hall. 120 West 138th street New York. Convey to members and friends best wishes. Wonderful spirit of enthusiasm for organization throughout Western States. The thousands of members at this and send greetings to those who are assembled at the shrine of Liberty in New York. Let the New York local watch itself for other divisions are determined to anatch laurels. Signed: Garvey." The next telegram was from Seattle. Wash, and read as follows "Greetings from Seattle division to New York local. Best wishes for successful drive for mortgage fund. Signed Garvey." Following are the speeches. DB W W LUCA8 BREAK8 DR. W. W. LUCAS SPEAKS Dr W. W. Lucas was the last speaker, who, on being introduced spoke on the subject "Awakened Race Consciousness," and said it was quite a privilege to have the opportunity to speak in Liberty Hall. He found himself very happily able to fit in after the two able addresses which preceded. What I mean by race consciousness in he said, the same on a larger scale that I mean by individual consciousness, because you will remember that a race goes through in a more complex form the same laws that an individual goes through. You take, for instance, an infant; it is pleased with the rattle and delighted with a straw after a while he wants a rocking hysterea and after a while he grows to manhood and wants a "sure enough" horse. And thus a race begins with childhood and passes through the youthful period when we are pleased with the rattle and delighted with the straw The Mass of Negroes in Youthful Period The mass of the Negro race today is in its youthful per.od. The mass of Negroes today have not reached maturity, they are children with childish ways—in the red candy stage, in the red lemonade stage, in the circus show stage, in the good-time stage. That is where we are. Look at the hordes of silly children, with all they have on their backs, marching up and down the avenue—silly children pleased with the rattle and delighted with the straw! What I mean by race consciousness is just exactly what I mean by individual consciousness extended. When an individual becomes conscious at the same time he becomes conscious of the difference between himself and the other fellow. When a race becomes conscious is dawns upon it that there is an essential difference in surrounding environment and adaptation from any other race. That is race consciousness. Now furthermore, allying himself by common experience of persecution or what not, he realizes himself in the same program as that of another race under similar suffering and similar affliction. That thing is pending just now in this old world. The colored families of the world are awakening not only to race consciousness but mutual race sympathy. Do you know that they held a mass meeting in Tokio Japan, a few weeks protesting against the injustices perpetrated against Negroes in America (Applause) Once I was crossing the Atlantic on a British steamer I was walking the deck of that vessel under the silent light of the evening moon with Professor Chathina of India, a leading educator of India. He had just returned from America. I said Professor, what thing in America impressed you most? He said "Sir, the thing that impressed me in America most was this That the very people—the white people—who have brought the gospel of brotherhood to India, were so prejudiced against me in America that a policeman in Washington did not want to show me my direction Now, therefore, when India and her 400,000,000 China with her 350,000,000 Japan with 55,000,000 and Africa with her 200,000,000 making two-thirds of the earths population, are feeling their way together. Just as sure as a God lives some day they are going to clap hands, and when they do—as the old lady said—"Sumpum gwins to be did" (Laughter and applause). I want to speak on the religious side of this subject I do this because in America the Negro religious life, while it has done lots of good, has been a drawback because it has been wrongly taught His theology, as the preceding speaker so well said, has taken him away from the real things of life Did you ever notice the Negro's songs in America? Every song he has got relating to time is "Bye and bye" (Laughter) Not now—but bye and bye. The Negro has not written a single song in his religious life which says this day Every song has the refrain "Some of these days" (Renewed laughter) The Negro has no song which says "Here and now" Every refrain has "Over Yonder" So that, as a rule, the Negro's preaching has taught him to renounce this old world and his religion has taught him that it was simply designed to furnish him a ticket to another country: "If I can just be able to cross Jordan in a calm time, when I come to die, now when I come to die, Lord, Lord, Lord." I have passed over this country from ocean to ocean and from the Gulf to the lakes. I have met white men in every section of this country, and every time I meet a white gentleman he is going somewhere to establish something that relates to this world. He is organizing another bank, another corporation—something to give him power here. Ninety-nine out of every hundred Negroes I meet in my travel, when I ask the question, "Where are you traveling?" says "I am organizing" "For what?" "Societies to bury the dead" (Laughter). No race on earth has given so much attention to dying and getting ready for dying as the Negro, and no race is so badly prepared to die as it is. (Laughter and applause.) He is the last man on earth that ought to die now because he has absolutely nothing done in heaven. He has got nothing started that is worth white. Here the speaker told a story of a man who professed to be ready to die. He was asked: "Have you a bank account?" "No," he said, "but I am ready to die." "Do you owe anybody?" "Yes; but I am ready to die." He called his wife and seven children to his bedside and said to them "I am getting ready to pass away." There sat his wife and seven children like stepping-stones. He said "I want you to tell the preacher to preach from this text: "I have got a building not made with hand—up yonder." The poor woman looked at the seven little children and said: "I am glad that you have got some place up yonder, but I wish to God you had left a place down here for these children" (Laughter) Continuing, the speaker said: I have no criticism as such of any Negro minister. I spent fifteen years in the best theological seminaries of this country, but I do say the Negro has been taught a sickly, sentimental THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

Chatter, chatter, chatter. Therefore any organization that can call the Negro attention seriously is an organization that is worth while. I do believe that the time has come when the Negro ought to have thoughts of empire in his soul. (Applause) No people can ever amount to anything who have not some desire for country and flag, which is the rallying point. Therefore I want to ask you, as you are members of this organization, to repeat with me this little couplet which I want you to use for self-examination. "What kind of association would this association be if every member in it was just like me?" The Victory That Overcomes Rev Dr Maloney. The first speaker of the evening, said. Mr Chairman, Distinguished Visitor, Officers and Members of the New York Local, and Friends—My subject to you tonight for a few moments is "The Victory That Overcomes." As I think of victory I think of that national event that is to be celebrated within the next few days. I refer to Decoration Day. And as I think of that my thoughts go back to the days when this land of nothing short of a wilderness, and when the first settlers braved the stormy waves of the Atlantic and left the land of their fathers in order to establish themselves upon a new continent for certain specific reasons. And as they landed at Plymouth and found themselves confronted with the austerity of nature, with the cruelty of the natives, and with the necessity of gaining for themselves the sustenance of life, we can think of the problems that were theirs. But here they were by their own choice upon a strange land with the difficulties confronting them. They left Plymouth, and under the leadership of Roger Williams, they went down to Connecticut and Rhode Island and down to Manhattan, and then another section under the leadership of Lord Baltimore, established themselves in Maryland. Do you know what caused them to leave the contentment and ease of their native land? It was a desire within them to attain unto a status of religious liberty so that they might be able without disturbance to worship their God according to their own conscience and the dictates of their will. It was because of this desire within them that they braved all the obstacles and planted themselves on the soil of the new world. Self-Government the Best I think of another incident in the onward march of this great republic. I think of that time in the life of the Colonies when they came to the realization of the fact that the best government is self-government—when they came to realize that they themselves could best take care of themselves. When they came to the point where they decided that no one outside of the Colonies should have a right to levy taxes on them and have a right to make laws to govern them, and have the right to determine how they were to live; and so they struck for governmental freedom. In the first instance there was freedom of conscious—religious freedom. In the second instance, there was civic freedom. And I think of another episode in the experience of this republic. I think of the time when the North clashed swords with the South—when brothers on one side of the land fought with brothers on the other side of the land to the death. Why was that done? It was done for the specific purpose of national solidarity. And these three ideals, my friends, when they grip the imagination and control the will of any people you can rest assured that that people will mount up to heights sublime and will realize for themselves the things that they are scaring—religious liberty, freedom of conscience, governmental independence to rule ourselves and national solidarity. These three points I say should strike home and drive home to the hearts and consciences of every down-trodden and oppressed people on the face of God's green earth. It is pleasant to us tonight to recall these episodes! I the early life of the first settlers of this nation of oura. Do you know how they did it? They did it because they had an abiding faith. When I speak of faith I am not using it as a dead, dormant and mortbund theological term. I am using a term that is pregnant with practical present day significance and meaning—faith, faith unshaken. And do you know that it is absolutely impossible to accomplish anything worth while in THE U. N. I. A.

Building the world without faith. A youngster comes into the world crying, he comes into the world absolutely without hope because of the fact that hope requires consciousness. He comes into the world without love because love cannot exist without consciousness, but he comes into the world full of faith. That is the reason why within a few days he recognizes his parent and realizes the fact that no one can take the place of his parent. He has faith in his parent and it is that faith that causes him to live. Do you know that it is absolutely impossible for the physician to bring healing to the wounded patient—to bring healing to the body that is subnormal—unless the patient has faith in the science in the art and in the technique of the physician. It is absolutely impossible for any fundamental accomplishment in the world without the precondition of faith. We have heard from time to time of the necessity of patronizing our own. We have heard of the necessity of trading with our own, we have heard of the necessity of seeing to it that all those of us have nerve enough to go into the business world—in the commercial mart—of us who have faith enough to pin their confidence in the solidarity of people, need to be supported. Do you know it is impossible for us to support them unless we have faith in their integrity, and in their honesty? So faith is a pre-condition to the successful development of any business, any profession, any art, any science on the face of the earth. It was because the Pilgrim Fathers had that faith in their integrity, had that faith in their possibilities and in the naive capacity of themselves that they established this great American Republic. It is by virtue of the faith that controls us as a people—of that undying determination that is within us that we shall accomplish that which seems impossible. It is by virtue of that faith that we shall be able to bring to pass that which prophets have declared—that which sages have sung about "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God and Princes shall come out of Egypt" (Applause) The Impossible Can Be Accomplished If you could only, my brethren, so occupy yourselves with the psychology of faith we could absolutely remove mountains of difficulties and bring to pass those things which would seem to those who have no faith impossible. Let me give you in conclusion the real essence of faith to show to you that faith is actually the foundation upon which all life, all hope, all aspiration must rest. I quote the words of England's philosophic post—Browning. it might be tinted or tugitive— A thoughtless itch it drawn up as soon as given. It is a thoughtless itch. If it is an affirmative and an act that bids eternal truth be present fact If we have that faith we sh. I attain unto our governmental independence on the continent of Africa, if we have that faith we shall establish ourselves in racial solidarity and go on conquering and to conquer "That is the victory that overcometh even our faith, as the Apostle says. (Applause) Hon. R. L. Poston, Second Assistant Secretary General, spoke as follows: I thought for a little while tonight I would talk to you upon the subject, "Our Place in the Sun." I wonder if it has ever occurred to you that as a race we are about the "last pea in the dish." That is, as a people we do not amount to very much in the estimation of the other races of the world. When the great Disarmament Conference was held in Washington there was every racial group in the world but our own. If we were needed we would have been there. At the Genoa Conference practically every racial group in the world was represented but our group. If we were needed in Europe, we would have been there. At both of these places the other racial groups shaped a program which would control the entire world, and after they had finished that program you and I would be asked to come in on a program that we had nothing to do with the making of We Are Disorganized The fact is we are disorganized. We have no wealth, we are not looking to the care of our children; we are not looking out after their future, we are not thinking seriously about government, and consequently the rest of the races of the world are going ahead and not taking us into consideration. Some times I like attention—and I do not want that to be taken in an ultrashift way—but being human, there is a time in my life when I like a little attention, and a few weeks ago, while en route from Trenton to New York, I got on the train. While on that train nobody paid any attention to me. I would notice white men get on the train, and right away the eyes of all the passengers would be fixed upon those white men, but there I sat, looking just as good as I could under the circumstances, but nobody paid any attention to me. And as I sat there I began to think the whole thing out, and this is what came to me. Nobody knew who those white men were who came on that train, possibly one of them might have been the owner of the road, one might have been the governor of the State.President Harding may have been one of those white passengers. Not knowing who the white men were, naturally everybody was interested in them as they got on the train, but nobody ever seemed to understand me, and consequently they did not give me any attention. The truth of the case is I could have been thrown off that train and you would have had somewhere in some secluded part of the "World" where a "nigger" was killed, and that is about as far as it goes. Nobody pays any attention to us, nobody seems to care, and it is simply because we are not organised. We are not building for the future of the race and consequently the other races do not care for our company. A class of people who are not organised—a class of people who are not preparing for the future—if they were let into the class of people who were doing these things they would teach them bad habits; consequently the rest of the world do not want to have anything to do with us. I am tired of going around the world and nobody paying any attention to me. Consequently I am eager that as a race we organize, as a race we build for the future in order that we may have an example to point out to our children. Dr Gibson has a very splendid address which he will hope will some day deliver here in Liberty Hall. The address is this "Negroes must live and cease dying" It is a splendid address and the doctor says in that address that the great trouble with colored people is this: that we are always preparing to die, as a race of people we are always going home to heaven or somewhere. He says just as soon as a little colored child is born in the world the mother takes that little child in her lap and says "Dear, this old world is no home of yours, you are going home" I used to wonder why it is that colored children had such a far-away look upon their faces. Evidently they are looking home. (Laughter) You know there, a sunshine in every life and there are evergreens all about it; but they seem to lose sight of these things and they have got their eyes fixed on something far away. You do not find white people teaching their children in that way.

And she says: "Son, when you grow up to be a man you will own that plant and not only will 500 men work for you but a thousand men"; and naturally that white boy takes a pride in life because he has something to live for.

Dust, "Beautiful Light," by the Misses V. Allenson and Bailey. PHILADELPHIA SU A. H. MALONEY' Delivers Remarkable Address veyism—Division Ma Prog --- By "The Watch Dog" During the last two months the president of the Philadelphia division, Dr. Lionel A. Francis, has been giving the Negro population of Philadelphia several great surprises in the way of speakers, new enterprises, a weekly money "grant" to sick members, medical attention at below cost price, and also getting rid of officers and members who have been hindering the cause of progress. But the last two unexpected surprises are the introduction of the Rev. A. H. Maloney to the Philadelphia division, and a new five-passenger automobile to do certain work, the nature of which he openly states he will never divulge to anyone. Dr. Maloney in Fighting Form Dr. Malenay in Fighting Form Dr. Lionel A. Francis, the president, has indeed been very fortunate in recei- ving the services of such a power- ful and learned exponent of Garveyism in the person of the Right Rev. A. H. Maloney. This young man, of whom we have heard and known but very little at the commencement of his dis- course with his halting style of speak- ing, strikes one as being unable to interest the vast crowd of people who assemble weekly to partake of the many inspiring lessons on Garveyism that our beloved president prepares for them. It was plain to see that the au- dience did not like the style of the speaker at the commencement, and also noticing the absence of the president who was due at Burlington, N. J., the meeting seemed a failure but contrary to expectation—this "newcomer" from New York as he quietly warmed his way into his subject caught the vast audience, held them spellbound in such masterly and scholarly style that the vast audience burst forth into cheering that was sufficient to make any orator feel proud of being among strangers for the first time. With Marcus Garvey so full of determination, and Dr. Lonel A. Francis, who knows no fear with his indomitable spirit, joined with Father Malpray, whose fighting form and courage speaks so well in his favor. I am forced to state that this trio of "real men" will make the race fit for any emergency the future may call for. The Success of the Division Members of the Mother Division of Philadelphia and the chapters are all talking about this new car. Some of the members of the Mother Division take a delight in keeping the machine neat and clean, another who is a motor mechanic, takes a delight in always examining its parts in order that its safety is running should be 100 per cent. But no one can get the president to state why he bought the car. He will state nothing in a way that will give anyone a clue as to his future plans. All you can get from him is: "That the future of the division depends on the new car. This man whom about people in the convention of 1920 was called a spy from England has been proved himself to be everything worthy in the interest of the page above. Being a spy."

I have seen him carrying loads of groceries to people's houses sometimes on his head, sometimes on his shoulders in the winter months through the snow, rain and sleet, he was to be seen at the wharf marketing as early as 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning. I have called at the office as late as 12 o'clock at midnight and I have found him and his secretary there waiting for the chauffeur to return from delivering the members food in order to get their accounts right up-to-date without employing additional help in order to save money that we may reduce our outstanding debts. Owing to such I am compelled to state that such is not the work of a spy, but the work of a real Negro who is determined to assist the Right Hon Marcus Garvey in endeavoring to make our race commercially and industrially independent. I have seen him place men in responsible positions to do certain work, men at one time whom he praised and boosted to the general membership and after having placed them in a position immediately he finds out that they were not doing the right thing and were working against the best interest of the organization he broke off all friendship and got rid of them. To my way of thinking, I am of opinion that when a leader will get rid of his friends for the cause that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for, he must be termed a leader of the right kind. To use the words of Marcus Garvey, "A real man." Using the Broom For the last six months the division has undergone quite a chang because, as we all know, the best of men and women are disliked by some. The money leakages have been closed up and owing to such much unrest prevailed. Some of the officers, who were determined not to follow the leader in seeing that the constitution be adhered to, commenced a serious and damaging campaign which would have destroyed the whole fabric of the Philadelphia division. Some of them became traitors to the race by giving false and damaging information to the city authorities concerning the Philadelphia division. Others by their nafarious deeds and cowardly action got the president arrested and gave evidence against him on a charge of practicing medicine without a license. On another occasion I stood in the magistrate's court and listened to an officer, who took and is still taking an active part in the organization, swear the worse falshoods that any woman could against anyone. All of this was done to discourage this "slave-to-his-race." But like Adamant he stood the test. Again I saw a physician, whom he fed and clothed and attended in the interest of an unhappy man. Ah, indeed! "I have no foes are they of Billy the Kid." And so I behold I endeavor to spring to the aid of anyone who assure my reader of his swine. The "however" has finally cleansed the mind and harmony prevailed on the upward. I am watching what way this new law will improve this state and is learnin THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 the interest of his race he must know his business God bless the Philadelphia Division under the leadership of the Right Hon Marcus Garvey and Hon Lionel A Francis A joint resolution is before Congress authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to lend $5,000,000 to the tiny Negro republic of Liberla, on the West Coast of Africa. The resolution, drawn by Secretary of State Hughes, recalls our "feelings of traditional friendship for the Republic of Liberia" and our solicitude "for its well-being and continued independence and for the peaceful development and future advancement of the Negro race," and directs that the loan be made "subject to the approval of the President and in conformity with an appropriate arrangement made under his direction." It does not suggest that such an arrangement has already been drawn, yet such is the case. This arrangement, signed at Washington last October by Mr Hughes and plenary commissioners of the Liberian Republic, makes Liberia in fact a servile American colony, ruled by a financial commissioner to be named by the President of the United States. This financial commissioner will collect and disburse all Liberian revenues, he will determine the size of the Liberian police and military force, which will be commanded by American army officers, he will have power to veto any item in the Liberian budget, to order any financial legislation passed which he may desire, to dismiss any employee of the Liberian customs, tax, or treasury service at will, he will limit the annual expenditures of Liberia to a total of $560,000, almost a fifth of which $103,700, must go to pay the salaries of twenty-two American officials, and more for their expenses. He will himself receive a salary 25 per cent larger than that received by the Secretary of State of the United States. In short he will be the well-paid dictator of Liberia, subject to no Liberian control, and only in a very distant manner to control by the United States. Incidentally one of his definite instructions will be to apply a part of the $5,000,000 "lend" from the Treasury of the United States to the payment of approximately $1,650,000 to repay the present foreign debt of Liberia to J. P. Morgan and Company Kuhn Loeb and Company, the National City Bank of New York, and First National Bank of New York, acting for themselves and for Robert Fleming and Company Banque de Paris et des Pays Bas M. M Warburg and Company and Hope and Company and for others." These bonds have been according to the testimony of Harry A McBride, of the State Department, before the House Committee on Ways and Means, selling at 98 approximately par. "since the $5,000,000 loan was first announced to Liberia. Before that, I think they were selling for about 75 or $0." In other words, the bare announcement that Uncle Sam was about to lend this $5,000,000 at one leap increased the value of the holdings of these bankers by at least $30,000. Mr. Hughes has informed Congress and the President, and the President has informed the American people, that there is a "moral obligation" upon us to make this loan. The "moral obligation" is due to the fact that President Wilson, in the happy days of war time when loans were running fast and free, informed Liberia that he would make this loan, and negotiated with Great Britain and France to keep them out of the Liberian fields and forests, thereby making it impossible for Liberia to get a loan elsewhere. The reason, the matter was so long delayed was that the Liberian Legislature required to certain provisions of an amendment submitted to it.—The Na- LIABILITIES Rent J. H. Neal $19.00 Planning W.

In the supplement to the "African World" of February 25 we read with disgust an article entitled "The American Loan to Liberia-Africa for the Africans—The Need for Leading Stings." This is an editorial comment by an associate editor of that newspaper, and has for its purpose a melancholic explanation to the world of what Liberia, which was the outstanding feature of Negro independence and self-government, has ultimately been compelled to submit to, as a result of which the loan has been granted to Liberia which serves as strings in the hands of the Caucasian on the neck of Liberia, as if the loan spelt a dumb driven beast being led about to keep it from resorting to its pristine instincts of turning and rending its controller The object of this article under hand is to give a full refutation to this glaringly false construction put on the objects and purposes for which the loan to Liberia may be granted by the government of the United States of America. Former Loans to Liberia—The first effort on the part of Liberia to regulate her finances was in 1870 under President Royce. The appeal was, as a matter of course directed to British citizens of a nation first to be friend and aid us at the guns to quell an uprising, first to recognize our independence first to offer to rehabilitate our finances. But the outcome of that friendly offer was so ridiculous that Sir Harry Johnston in his great work on Liberia pronounced it as a disgrave operation for "a financier." Needless to recount how the Liberian Connell in London, David Chinery, a Britain's charged with the management of the funds, had to be discharged, and Consult-General Jackson resorted to legal process to protect the interests of the Negro republic. This was a 'ma fraus' practiced upon Liberia, and well nigh brought her to the verge of a revolution. Liberia, however, assumed consibility for the £100,000, when only about £17,903 reached her coffers. Despite this fraud, which Liberians never forget, an assumption of the debt by Liberia showed a spirit of national honesty, and the liquidation of that debt ultimately did not spell "Leading Strings" for Liberia. Struggling on with this shameful burden laden on her by her neighbor, Liberia, undamaged, turned her eyes within and undauntedly undertook to control the internal management of her own finances for a period of over three decades. She resolved to keep from foreign debt again, and at the same time keep faith with her defrauders in retiring the perdulous loan of 1879. She next inaugurated the Merohant Order system with the traders in her midst, but the German trade soon took this trust of the Government's as a medium for speculation and soon proved that a man's foes shall be those of his own household. In the words of a Liberian creator, "The Government of the day with the approval of the Lr rilature of that time, further discounted the money of their own oppressed people by 50 per cent, and paid off those ungodly profiteers who had grown fat upon our blood and sweat at par, a thing no other Government in this world would have done." It strikes us that if the editor of "the African World" considers a W O M MACKINTOSH Auditor learn to Liberia as 'Leadin strings.' it is mainly that our neighbor and friend ever reck occasion to put the strings on our necks, while we are as equally busy in counteracting their purposes The next desirable loan transaction was with Britishers again in 1906 in which Sir Harry Johnston, representing the Liberian Development Co. Ltd, and Emil Erlanger represented the brokers through whom the Company would float the loan. Here was another fraud unparalleled in history committed, and when President Barclay asked Sir Harry Johnston for an accounting by his Company who pretended to have spent £32 776.11.3 or a dirt road inuttle to Liberia, this distinguished Britlisher was "surprised that the President should have required the Company to furnish him with a statement of account, and disclaimed any responsibility for the manner in which the money had been expended." Thus another £100,000 was saddled upon Liberia. One who visits Tiebrun and Mt. Barclay today the then seats of operations of the British firms of the Liberian Development Co. and the Liberian Rubber Co. will know after a and survey, what loading strings were held in contemplation and how Liberian diplomacy has shaken them off as adroitly as they were tied. And more interesting still, these two British profiteering firms have coached operations in Liberia and gone into bankruptcy. The loan of 1912, amounting to $1,700,000 is in the one under which Liberia is working, floated by American, British, French and German Banking houses. As this is being better managed than all the preceding ones, there is nothing to fear but that Liberia will THE GREATEST BOOK On the Negro THE NEGRO WORLD Says of It!

The Liberians have learned the lesson—"walt and murmur not." Coming now to the proposed American Loan under discussion, every true Liberian has adopted the spirit of ex-President Howard when he said: "If the temporary management in the hands of others of a part of our governmental machinery will result in actual and permanent independence and international respect, which we firmly believe will be the outcome, then it becomes our imperative duty as patriotic citizens to make such a necessary and noble sacrifice." Buch is the spirit of every true Liberian to day, and the American Loan will never result in another instance of American Independence over Haiti, Cuba and Banto Domingo. The American Government has committed herself "to assist the Government of Liberia in her financial reorganization and rehabilitation." The Liberians are resolved to jealousy guard the last vestige of their independence. Dr. Dubois is not qualified to speak but for those American Negroes in American who conform with his ideas of the solution of the Negro problem. While under a white government, it is easy for him to say that "Africa should be administered for the Africans, and as soon as may be, by the Africans." Despite the deprudations of the Teutonic and Latin peoples on Africa, Liberia, the wedge between the British and French West African possessions is, and will still be a stumbling block to these peoples; because Liberia will forever, until the end of time, be administered by Liberians who are Africans de facto, every deprudatory endeavor of the caucasian to the contrary notwithstanding. Dr. Dubois would be an authority only when the McCullam proposition goes through and the American Negro learns for himself what self-government is worth, and not Pan African meetings in European centers while the Negro in America is cutting each others throat. The whole solution of the problem is this. If the ultimate ideal of British African possessions is to seek for sisterhood among the Dominions of the British Commonwealth as Ireland has had to accept, Britain is then exerting a centripetal force on her colonies. Liberia, on the other hand, is exerting a centrifugal force to escape this suction, while all nations move in their orbits of Racial Identity.

The War Brought the Negro Into His Own—Proving His Iron Will and Steel-Like Powers BY BENITO THOMAS Just a few years ago there was a type of our race who stuck to the practice of this philosophy: Laborars est orare, meaning to labor is to pray. Perhaps they escaped the idea that the prayer labor benefited monks and not their monkeys. Those Negroes seemed to take more interest in the affairs of other races than in their own. They believed some divine omnipotent through his justice, wisdom or goodness, rather than the opposite—had created them inferior to all other races to be their servant till he cared to get rid of his divine idea. They seemed to think that this most powerful king sat on a golden throne all day, cheered by bright music of white angels that played on beautiful shining golden harps and trumpets. Where was that music hall? They did not seem to know, for while the earth in its revolution spinned them round and round they still lifted their fingers and said "above." Fine idea, indeed. While they suffered oppression and shame from the races they served contentedly they sought consolation and freedom in the dime-collecting sacred temples. Thus they labored in prayer. But how their imagination has been turned to another key. Their latest song is "Tempora mutantor"—times ago changed. The music to that captivating song was composed by a mighty composer in 138th street, the place universally known as Liberty Hall, the name of that personage being Marus Garvey. Oh! that new song seems to possess so much that it the heaviest jazz notion is after getting a few of its notes. That music is full of common sense. If there is to be a greater composer the Negroes have yet to wait for him, while to this time an entire change has taken place in the mind of those Negroes, a change so widely different from what their oppressors expected Today there is a new type of Negro springing up, with wonderfully quick growth. There is absolutely no doubt about this fact. Eyes that looked upon him carelessly now look upon him with fear. One glance around the colored neighborhood will prove this. Big cigars are selling less while busy Negroes are doing their own business. This is not so in New York alone. It is so wherever the Negro exists and that is everywhere. I noticed this in South America, through the West Indies and America. There seems to be one set opinion among our people, though of a good many different languages. Follow The Negro World, or the members of the U N. I. A you will find yourself traveling the world over and be convinced of my statement. Ever since a mere boy at school I could not help thinking over the existing condition of my race. Flags I waved, patriotic songs I sang and a good many national anthems Patriotl demonstrations I had to attend. But the proud horse and its white horse regularly garbed with dazzlings swords and what not gave me cause to think. Who is the Governor, who is the President who is the King I must pay honor to "Any member of my race." No. I read the scanty publications I could lay my hands upon pertaining to my race. An aborbed slave they said my people were. How I thought some poor starving writer I told written those books to lengthen their days from a hungry cold grave. But in the English histories I found that Negroes were not the only slaves, but the whites were sold in slave markets. This misfortune of the white was overlooked, and my people were not urged to consider it. Still my young hustant panted after knowledge concerning my race. In the intellectual fields my people did not fall to demonstate their ability to the world, but I discovered they were bound to a certain lim. War came at last. Negroes were given the last consideration. Monkeys and cowards they were regarded till the slaughtering game found too great an increase and for the first time I came to "know" that the black man was a brother of the white—bulldozer, isn't it? To speak of the promises that were made to Negroes would not only take your whole valuable paper but would kill one with laughter. Every enemy seemed to hate a Negro more than their white brothers who incited them to fight, according to the version of the white leaders and those of our race who were wise or foolish enough to join them in encouraging Negroes to war. The war is over and from the time the slaughtering job was given up the color of the Negro again met with disaffection and disgrace. The leaders of the race who stimulated us to war are no better off than the poor smart soldiers who escaped the horrible fate of the pandemonium they faced. But lot among our disappointed people sprang a great leader, the Lion Marcus Garvey. This great Negro launched a program which struck terror in the heart of the white "brothers" who then had just made a fool of their black brothers. To test the nature of their conception of brotherhood they were shameless enough to attempt the non-circulation of the paper of our leader because they discovered such literature would tend to open the eyes of our people who slept so long. But such attempts met the greatest failure. Their laws were put into operation too late. Garvey had already won the heart of his people and the Negroes woke up to a spirit of self-determination that no sweet empty promises could destroy and charm again into slumber. In vain have the white "brothers" tried to sing sweet babalyes to Ne- groes. Not here alone, but everywhere groves have loots—and justly so—all saints, for their white "brothers." The WRITES B. THOMAS, "THAT G ROOT IN THE HEARTS The Negro Into His Own—Proving His Powers pulpit attempted to overthrow the ideals of Garveyism and it was well they thought it better to stop. Let the black pulpit attempt to deride the principles of Garveyism and it is doomed for good. White sinners will not tolerate black apostles and black people will not stand either black or white apostles that venture to deride their noble ideals. Organizations backed by foolish, unprincipled, unjust whites have failed. Negro traitors have failed in their schemes. Officials who proved but vagabonds to the people and their organization have been isolated with shame, and like a little skiff in the heart of a great ocean the teachings of Garveyism has worked its way through every opposition and today over five million people of our race are all clamouring for it. It is thought that this feeling of race distinction exists among the ignorant alone. But men of intellectual ability never fail to visit Liberty Hall, and from fellow-students I can safely say there is yet a harder task to eradicate Garveyism from their soul. More respect and interest is taken in the teachings of Garveyism by students of the race than in Biblical fables. That does not mean, however, that there is a rising generation of athletes among the black people, but what they have HANNIBAL CONQUER Negroes Have Got to Be B HANNIBAL CONQUERED THE "CAN'T BE DONE PHILOSOPHY," SAYS JACKSON TILFORD Negroes Have Got to Be Brave and Optimistic if They Are to Achieve Racially, Saya Chicago Writer By J. JACKSON TILFORD CHICAGO, Ill. May 22. 1922 — The Garvey Movement," which has taken a permanent and most conspicuous place in the thought and life of Negroes by reason of its world-wide appeal to and program for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world—a program which is alpha and omega in the solution of the great problem confronting the Negroes throughout the world—had its origin in the mind of one of the greatest thinkers of the age. This program is being discussed by the best minds and among thinking Negroes in the press, pulpit, halls and byways. As to the feasibility and possible success of the movement one often hears during those discussions the old, time-worn phrase, "It can't be done." This phrase, when taken seriously, is of the greatest hindrance to the progress and achievement of mankind. The Negro in the midst of his great renalissance should not allow himself to become reconciled to failure and stagnation or be enslaved by a meaningless phrase of words which psychologistize his mind to a lack of confidence in himself, his race and his power and ability to achieve and reach the same status in human society and racial development that other races have reached. You can see as you read history how easily the thought. "It can't be done," would have kept Fred Douglas in slavery had he allowed himself to be over ome by such an excuse. But he brushed aside that thought and liberated himself because he thought it could be done, and made himself one of the out- BOCAS DEL TORO VISITED BY CO Grand Procession and Co BOCAS DEL TORO DIVISION VISITED BY COMMISSIONER WEST BOCAS DEL TORO, Panama.—We have recently welcomed our High Commissioner, Rev. E. C. West, on his return voyage from Colon and Panama on Sunday, May 7. Some interesting campaign meetings were staged, which stirred the people and gave satisfaction to the community at large. On Monday night, May 8, the people came to Liberty Hall in splendid numbers and listened with earnest attention to the Commissioner's return address. On Wednesday night the hall was packed and the people were greatly stirred. The High Commissioner took for his subject, "The Way of the Cross Leads Home." He spoke eloquently for two hours and a half. The audience kept still, and after the meeting expressed themselves as being satisfied. Other week night meetings were prevented by rain. On Sunday night, May 14, quite an enthusiastic gathering was held, and for the first time a procession led the way to the platform in Liberty Hall. The Legions headed the procession; the Black Coss Nurses came next, then the Hon. High Commissioner, then Rev. E. C. West and Commissioner Baunders, the future Commissioner of the Republic of Nicaragua. The audience remained standing until all were seated. The regular program was carried through. Commissioner West again held the audience spellbound for one hour and a half, speaking from St. Matthew's Gospel 7th chapter, 7th and 8th verses. He said that the U. N. I. A. believes in God and in Christianity. It is only through ignorance of God's divine will that we go lacking, as we do not know how to ask and to seek. Jesus said that you must know the truth and the truth will not set you free. --- Panama Liberty Hall grasped is that the Bible alone will not give them what they now know is theirs by right. Again, this sentiment does not exist among students of one sex, but both sexes. You will be surprised to know our present-day girl is after industrial independence and intellectual culture to a greater extent than before. That silly talk of hell is far from their minds. They take more pleasures in the studies of history, sciences and arts than in white angels and black devils. It is the general conception of students that they could not expect to be on equal standing with white angels in any paradise. They maintain that if white apostles do not care even to see them on earth they could not expect to shake hands with them in their paradise. If there is something wrong in the teachings of the church, it is the duty of the church to see after it, for the heart and soul of the Negro are both turned to their true conception of justice, love and bellowship, and not as the church disguise it, but as common sense would show it. Speak of the rights of Negroes and they are willing to hear you, but you take an awful chance in trying to throw dust in their eyes. The brick may prove very disappointing and serious in its result. Plain common sense teach the Ne- ERED THE "CAN'T BE PHILOSOPHY," SAYS brave and Optimistic if They Says Chicago Writer atstanding figures in the history of this country. You will remember that there was another black man who played his part in the early stages of universal history because, like Marcus Garvey, he believed that anything could be done to defend, protect and save his country and his people. Turn over the dusty pages of your history, black men and women, and read about father Hannibal, the black warrior, who for fifteen years with his African soldiers made Rome tremble and brought her to her knees, after he had traversed the Alps in fifteen days to reach a strategic point, and held his own in a hostile country against great odds. There was the conquest of "It can't be done" most strikingly and most convincingly. The white man's history speaking of Hannibal says: "For steadfastness of purpose, for organizing capacity and mastery of military science, he perhaps has had no equal. Tell that to your family and children, and the new generation now in the making will not grow up with the false opinion that black men have not accomplished and never amounted to anything, and never would amount to anything, inspiration gained from the knowledge of such truths will surely eliminate from their minds and thoughts the cry of the weaklings. 'It can't be done.' There is no place in this day and age for a race handcapped by lack of confidence in themselves, weakness, doubt and uncertainty, reflected in the thought, 'It can't be done.' Men with brain, honesty of purpose. DIVISION COMMISSIONER WEST ceremony Held at Spacious MEXICO REVOLT TALK SILLY PROPAGANDA WASHINGTON, May 28 - Reports published today that a revolution is about to break out in Mexico against the Obregon Government were denounced tonight by the Mexican embassy here as the allly work of paid Mexican propagandists who would sell their country for a dish of beans." As evidence of the ridiculous nature of these reports Manuel C. Teles, Charge d'Affaires for Mexico in the United States pointed out that General Zapata was named as one of the supporters of General Felix Dias, purported leader of the purported revolution Zapata has been dead three years. In other quarters familiar with Mexican affairs it was declared that the latest reports of a new revolution in Mexico were inspired by the same interests, recently fully exposed by the Hearst newspapers, which have worked against recognition of the Obregon government. STORK ARRIVES AT ROBINSON HOME Jane. Franier Robinson, the prima donna of the Liberty Hall Choir, of New York, bays to announce to her many friends its removal of her home address from 132 West 138th street, to 228 W. 51st street, and, incidentally, it is with pleasure. The Negro World extends congratulations to her and her beloved husband on the arrival of the stork at their home with a bounding curtains and bed. NEVISM IS THE YOUNG! ill and Steel-Like groces of today that it would be madness to expect that white leaders would ever care to put them on an equal with their white people. The new Negro is losing that sympathetic genial smile he gave to his white "brother." The more race prejudice exists the more hatred will it breed in the heart of Negroes. It is natural to expect that the man who suffers constant oppression will one day adopt any means by which he believes he can obtain freedom. There is no doubt of the fact that Garvey is considered the greatest man of our race. What others were afraid to teach our race he has fearlessly taught it. Nor is his greatness confined to any particular spot of this gloe, and that is why he is so envied by many weakminded men of our race. Garvey has plainly demonstrated to his people that the past leaders o. our race lacked backbone. Those men who styled themselves leaders of the race should admit their weakness with perfect reservation. Such men, if they possess ability, should join with Mr. Garvey in carrying on the work of the U. N. L. A. since they were afraid to undertake the responsibility. The race has no need for men who tremble for fear of a mere threat. I am proud to know that our girls are teaching their fellow friends to encourage the high ideals of Garveyism This is a very great idea. The sluggish statement of, "it can't be done," is changed to "we must find some way to do it" When you hear such expressions coming from intelligent girls of our race we have every reason to feel proud of them.

To fall in this cause which we will not do, would only mean that Negroes and their posterity must go through life with saddles on their backs for centuries to come. You will remember that it is quite some progress made from the stone hatchet of the stone age to the modern machinery of the present day, from the stage coach to steam locomotives and the flying machine, from the mall train to wire and wireless telegraphy and the telephone system, from the simple raft to the trans-Antitactic steamers, from the wax candle to electric illumination, from the grind organ to the vectrola and pianola, you will observe that the conquest of the water, earth, air, locomotion and communication, is being accomplished by thinkers, scientists, and inventors, who know not the meaning of 'it can't be done.'

N. L. A. IN MALDEN, CAMBRIDGE, PROVIDENCE, NEW BEDFORD, NORTH CAMBRIDGE AND WEST NEWTON ```markdown ``` By BIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS Assistant President-General of the U. N. I. A., and Author of "The African Abroad" The New Psychology of the Negro Prof. H. M Kailen publishes an interesting book review in the May 24 New Republic, entitled 'The Twilight of the Moralista.' It is a review of "Human Nature and Conduct." An introduction to "Social Psychology" by Prof. John Deway It shows masterly analysis. And there are two sentences worthy of careful study by so-called students of the race problem. Professor Kailen says "Those who urge that human nature cannot be changed are those who have a vested interest in keeping it unchanged in certain specific respects. Their behavior shows that they do not believe what they urge, they persecute, oppress and outlaw all activities and influences designed to change human nature." These two sentences are the key to the racial situation in the Southern States of America and in South Africa. All of the disfranchising, immerging, restrictive and proscriptive clauses) in Southern constitutions in America and in South Africa are silent but powerful witnesses of the fact that the Negro is human and not as inferior as stated. Men don't make laws and enact legislation to keep dogs, cats, horses and cattle in their place. There are two mistakes made in discussing the race situation, one by the Caucasian possimists and the other by Negro possimists. The Caucasian possimists discuss the Negro as if he had fixed, unchanging and eternal characteristics like wood, coal, steel and iron. They conceive him as a static unchanging being. This is the result of the old psychology which spoke as if thoughts, feeling and volitions existed as separate entities, when in reality human beings exist who think, feel and will. But this old-fashioned doctrine of the faculties has been relegated to the limbo of discarded ideas. And the doctrine of the unchagability of the Negro will also soon be relegated to the same limbo. Last Friday morning we stood on a hillock near Boston, which stood in the midst of the valley and looked at the cedar, elm and pine trees. They in no way differed from the cedar and elm of New Haven and the pines of North Carolina except that they were smaller. The offspring was exactly like the parent tree. But it is different with man. Through heredity he inherits certain characteristics of his parents. But two things conspire to make him unusual different in ideas and tendancies of physically reacting from his parents. The first is his environment; the second is the freedom of his mind in willing. By environment we mean the teaching of his parents, older friends and relatives and instructors, the influence of his playmates and associates, the books, newspapers and magazines that he reads, the lectures and the剧院 and musical concerts that he attends, the temptations and obstacles that he faces, the hard knocks and disappointments that he faces, and the favouring breezes of fortune that speed him on his way. All of these things constitute the psychic environment of a youth. They shape his ideas, his attitudes and attitudes of mind and affect him spiritually just as powerfully as the sun which shines upon him and the air which he breathes affect him physically. Now the social ostracism, the being barred from certain callings, the being permitted to go so far and no farther in other callings, the being barred from certain residential sections, the being discriminated against in the theatre, hotels and restaurants in the North and West, and the being jim-crowed, lynched and disfranchised in the Sunny South constitute the black man's phylloic environment. The natural effect of these repressive influences is t- breed in the Negro a pessimistic fatalism and impress him that in endeavoring to elevate his industrial, economic, political, civic and social status, he is butting his head against a stone wall and bucking against fate. They cap his ambition, degrees his courage and lower his self-request. But remove these repressive influences; remove what preachers call these hindering causes, and the Negro will leap forward in the race of life like a runner who has been relieved of a heavy load and can now press forward free and unimpeded. That's what the camp meeting singers mean when they say "Loose the brother and let him go." The Negro is now like a caged gator. He has wings, but needs an empirean to soar in. The Black Man's Chance. But while all these things are true, and retard the highest development of the brother in black, his case is not hopeless, and he is not as helpless as a child drift on a saft in mid-ocean. He is not wholly the creature of circumstances and the plaything of fate, for he, like other men can transform his environment and create a new environment. Race prejudice is more a matter of education than fasttion. The child is taught race prejudice as he is taught his A.D.C. His moral code his social code, his style of dress and manner, his religion, his politics, and belief in the infirmity of this or that race is taught the child at one and the same time. as a morocco worker and Mrs. Thornton in demand as a caterer in Salem. We found Mr Weeden in demand as a painter in New Bedford. We found Mr Henwood, Mr Haddock and Mr Bulgar making gas in New Bedford. We found a score of colored men employed in three garages in Boston. We found Mr Theodore Lewis employed as machinist on we outakirts of Boston and we learned that Mr Mitchell, a butter of Hartford. Conn. still a young man, was left $10,000 by the lady he worked for when she died. We found Mr Groebe, the uncle of the president of the New Bedford division, owning six houses. And we found the Clover Reality Association owning six buildings, one of them a six-stement house with three tares on the first floor. The officers are Mr Alexander Corner, president, Mr Joseph Williams, general secretary, Dr Xenophon Thomas assistant secretary Dr E. D Oaborn, treasurer, and Miss Emma Kimball, associate treasurer We found Mr W D Harris not only in business for himself as an undertaker, but also doing the embalming for one of the big undertakers downtown. On Wednesday evening, May 10 we addressed the Cambridge and Thursday, May 11, the Malden U N I A. On Sunday, May 14, we addressed the Providence and on Tuesday, May 16, the New Bedford U N I A. On Sunday afternoon, May 21 Messra. Chandler and Griffith carried us to North Cambridge and on Wednesday, May 24, to the Myrtle Baptist Church. West Newton, where we addressed meetings in the interest of the U N I A. None of these meetings were largely attended on account of counter attractions, but the collection in Malden was very large and the enthusiasm in New Bedford and North Cambridge noticeable. We desire to express our appreciation of the courtesy of Rev I. Luke Jones of Providence, Rev W Wade Ryan, D D. of West Newton, Mass, and Mr Oliver Grobe of New Bedford, Mass. We recall with pleasure the remarkable singing of Mrs. George Weston at the Malden meeting, the violin playing of Vice-President G W Cooper at the Boston meeting and the playing of the U N I A. Band under Mr. Joseph Yeore at the same meeting. As we have two more weeks of speaking in Massachusetts and Connecticut we will tie together the threads of our stories in the two concluding articles of our travel impressions and reflections. "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa—All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund"; that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be made out to the association and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now. All persons donating $25 or more to this fund, in addition to being granted a certificate, will have his or her photograph published in The Negro World and in the Universal Volume to be published for distribution all over the world. colored man by the law of the association of ideas. But e ery time the white man meets a black man of superlative ability along any line and of transacent character, a jolt is given to his preconceived idea of the incapability and inferiority of the Negro. And there gra ually takes birth in his mind a new idea, the idea of the capability and worthiness of the blackman. Then there is a conflict in his mind of two ideas. The ideas that he was taught about men of color war with the ideas that he has formed about black men by meeting them. And that is what the black man must realise. By his own personality, his own conduct, his own deeds and his own achievements he can transform the world's estimate of him. And that is why we have always contended that we were not so much worried about what the white world thinks of the Negro as by what the Negro the ght of himself In the two months that we have been on a New England lecture tour in the interests of the U N I A we have visited six Connecticut two Rhode Island and ten Massachusetts towns and cities. Quite naturally we compared and contrasted conditions as they existed twelve years ago when we toured New England on a lecture circuit. Rev John Jasper, in his famous 'Bun Do Move' sermona, said that there was a right froward movement and right forward backward movement of the sun. And we have found the same condition in New England with reference to the Negro. There is less sympathy for him than was ten, twenty and thirty years ago. The colored student politician, preacher or educator who expects special favors and consideration because he is colored will not find New England a cory, restive place at present. The economic depression has brought into activity "The struggle for Existence" and the "Survival of the Fittest." The Fortunate Colorid Butler But at the same time we found colored physicians, dentists, lawyers, dryers and cleaners, automobile repairers, tailors and caterers who were experts receiving white patronage. We found colored automobile mechanics, morocco workers, carpenters, gas makers and cooks who were experts finding no difficulty in getting employment We found Mr. Robert Bonner, a graduate of the Yale Art School, respected in Beverly, Mass.

The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention on the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dominion Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work.

Aquellos que han desirrollado sus in- teligencias clentificamente estan en el deber de dar un paso adelante entre los millones de las masas y conven- cerles de In seriedad de Ia edad en que vivimos. La época actual coloca a las razas y naciones en pos'cién de progresar 6 perecer segin su grado de civili- zac.6n y adelanto, Las intelectualidades de Jas distintas razas y naciones estan sumamente compenetradas de ello, existiendo por consiguiente en Europa y Asia una lucha @ muerte entre sus naciones por ascender a la ciispide de superioridad. Estudiando detenidamente la evolucién de los acon- tecimientos, notamos que este gran mundo en que vivimos ha sufrido grandes cambios desde los tiempos de la creacién. El Divino Hacedor delegé su autoridad en dos seres humanos, los cuales el creo a su Semejanza. De esa ¢poca a nuestro dias, aquellos dos seres se han multi- plicado, constjtuyendo una inmensa familia humana. Donde tuvimos en una época a dos personas ejerciendo autoridad absoluta del universo, tenemos actualmente mil quinientos millones de almas reclamando la autoridad y posesién del mismo mundo, propiedad exclusiva de aquellos dos seres primitivos. Esto nos demuestra claramente una dé las leyes inexorable de nuestra madre Naturaleza. El planeta que habitamos no aumenta en dimensién, pero la familia humana se multiplica de aio en afio, de década en década, de siglo en siglo. Es de esperarse que dentro de un periodo de quinientos aftos, los mil quinientos millones de habitantes actuales se multipliquen en otro tanto 6 mayor numero. ¢Cudl sera el destino de las razas débiles cuando el mundo se vea extremadamente poblado con las razas fuertes de las humanidad? Las razas fuertes del mundo afrontar4n inconvenien- cias al tolerar la existencia de las razas incapaces y débiles, desarrollandose por consiguiente la tragedia de la extin- cién de dichas razas. Cuando los colonizadores de America ambicionaron la posesién del nuevo mundo, notaron que muna raza débil se interponia a su paso. ¢Qué hicieron a ellos? Los exterminaron matdndoles y sepultdndoles 4ijo la tierra, librandose asf de tal inconveniencia. Este sera exactamente el destino de los pueblos débiles del mundo dentro de dos, tres, cautro 6 quinientos afios, cuando las razas fuertes se desarrollen ocupando una posicién de superioridad y completa autoridad sobre todo lo creado. Tal estado de cosas ocupa la mente del Negro pensador y preveyendo el peligro se prepara y lucha tenaz- mente con el propésito de construir una raza fuerte, evitando asf el que seamos exterminados en el futuro dejando sitio para las razas fuertes, como aconteci6 al indio americano, dejando su sitio al colono europeo en este nuevo continente. Tiempo es ya de gue aquellos que entre nosotros hayan tenido la vision del future inspiren en nuestras masas el sentimiento de amor propio, te amor a su hermano en raza, pudtendo solamente por medio de esta inspiracién, ascender a otra posici6n que nos haga en el futuro, no una raza en el camino de su exterminaci6n, sino una raza de hombres preparados para competir con cualquier otra raza de la gran familia Fimans Aquellos de nosotros quienes iluminan el camino con esta nueva Bropaganda de la Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, ilustrando a nuestro pueblo ¢n todas partes, sc ven en ciertas ocaciones acosados por Ja manera de actuar de algunos elementos de la raza, los cuales conciente 6 inconcientemente ofenden la dignidad de esos apéstoles, ocacionando un profundo sentimiento de matestar que perjudica a su lealtad y amor por la raza. Estos spossales en su mayoria estan compenetrados de lo que direccién significa z sufren_pacientemente las Etcesponsabilidades de su prdjimo. Direccién significa martirio, direccién signifca sacrifcio, direccién significa Sie todo en beneficio de la causa que se deftende.

Of course. It would be vary unreasonable for them to expect the visitors to lay all thelr cards on the table by telling them the amount they had tendered the government in respect of bonda or to go Into detail as to their plans. if there were no other cdmpetitors in the field, it would be a different matter, but as they were ell aware Colonel Armstrong, who rep- resented & group of capitalists in Eng- land, was algo in the colony, to affer arma to the government and tender for the bonds. They welcomed them ull and wished there were a dozen oF more capitalists here prepared to spend arge sums of money on development works to bring labor in. Before calling m2 Lord Dunsford and Colonel Evans 0 aay a few words aa briefly a2 possible, ne would like members of the court to express thair views as to what they ponsidered ahould be done. ‘The Visitors Welcomed Mr. Browne said that as one o* members for Georgetown. hiv f was to welcome the distiu- fore, The colony hat beer . great many yeers fcr thet val, He was coe of thowe = who rely delleved that with — .dvent of capital all the labor requi J would be sasily found, and could be found in the West Indies without going further afield. For those reasons it afforied him considerable pleasure to welcome the visitors, He did not know what chetr programme was likely to be, but he knew that if they came forward with the programme which included or put in the forefront development of the hintertand they would be more welcome still, They all knew and believed in the potentisilties of the hinterland. If any schemes could be arranged whereby they could develop it by means of « railway cr otherwise he would be giad ¢ the capitalists in their midst would prepare to entertain such echemas. The question cf trrigation and drainage was also m burning one. A considerable sum of money had been spent on sen defences which was one step forward, and one problem solved by the advent ot Mr. Came. ‘The future af the colony ay in the development of the hinter and, the scceas to which should be made easy and not dangerous to life us at present. If those difficulties could be overcome there was no reascn to doubt that considerable euoces and prosperity would come to the country. There was scme talk of yielding up the ponatitutlon, He did not think that question could possibly arte, Some yeare ago Gir Walter Egerton msntion- a4 it, but be (the speaker) was one of hose who stood out against it and he £10 not think the Imperis] Government would ever entertain such @ proposition. He had no mandates from his con- stttuenta, but he could eafely eay tnat f capital was to be invested every resonable safeguard would be given 20 hat no unreasonable Gemants would pe asked cr exacted from the capital- sts, The colony had tand tn great juantity which at present was of no ae to it He personally was willing o make any reasonable concessions to hose who ware prepared to Gavelcp the euntry. He hoped the visttore would yo into the interior and see for them- elves that {t was no idle dream. ‘3K Dias tn the course of an inter sting apeech eaid that whatever else night require attention in the hinter- and, in bia opinion, was the future af he etloxy, ‘Mr, Gtrightand joined to the welcome o the guasta, He sald that the Eisc- ives had heen charged with not hav- ag prepare’ any echeme, Im his own iefanse he-would suy that cs.scce as id keow the Muamciers were coming, have their ows ‘deag to place before any capitalists that might come. Mr, Nesctmento inquired whethar the capitalista were prepared to accept bonds tn payment for any works they might undertake to carry out under contract. : Mr. Webber's Attack Mr Webber said that as he repre- sented a county which hed suffered most he might perhaps say a few words, He thought It must be gener- ally conceded that their difficulties were two-fold. Some could be described as domestic, while others could hardly be carried out except with the ald of out. side capital The housing of the peo- ple would hardly be left to people from outside. He did not think that capital which came Into the colony merely as finance for the government would take ‘them very much further. What they would like thelr guests to tel} them was haw much further aflald they were prepared to go. The colony's main need was hinterland development. Sir Walter Igerton, the most un- scrupulous of the colony's s4minie- trator’s possessed sufficient vision to ace what « great future there was in a hinterland railway and other Gevelop- ment schemes, It a4 been sald that the people would not pay for Irrigation and drainage. The government aever aaked whether they wrnted sea de- fense they forced it on them—and they could do the same in the matter of irrigation and drainage, It was, how- ever the larcer and bolder schemes they would like to hear most of. Mr Strickland (to the chairman) J am going to ask you to call upon the Anancial representative who has just spoken to withdraw the word unacrup- slous applied to Sir Walter Egerton. Mr. Webber: | make It again. Mr Strickland A most dishonorable statement for one to make. | Mr, Chairman. I am very sorry tbat wblle 1 am sitting In the Governor's hair I have not the Governor's power o make him do It’ Mr Webber (sotto voice) I know you have your own ‘lowe In the matter. Mr Btrickland A moat contemptible 1nd cowardly statement to call Bir Walter Egerton unscrupulous. | The Chairman. T must ask you to— Mr, Strickland I have sat down, but have got my remarks through. Mr, Luckhoo suggested that the vis. tors be asked whether they had any lata to put before them. That should jorm the basic foundation for discus- fon on hinterland development. Mr. McArthur In the course of an bie speech said it seamed as though hey were all unanimous on the ques- Jon of the development of the country brough the hinterland. They wanted population, but they had to do more han provide housing accommodation or laborers, or drainage and trriga- fon. The successful course would be © start @ development scheme by neans of « raliway and to invite labor © come to the country and settle in He Intertor, Wensra. Farrar and Britton also ad- eased the meeting, Viscount Dunsford's Speech Viscount Duneford thanked the meeting on behaif of Colonel Evans und himself for the very cordial wel- come extended to them and Mr Browne, who had extended a wel- some on behalf of Georgetown. Col- nel Evans and he went to the meeting with @ feeling of some diMdence for one reason which was that while they wore most desirous of meeting those present, they were afraid that what hey had to say to them would not be uMotent for the reason that they were nere not for the beneNt of their health, put to do business, They recognized hat they would be up against compe- ition, For that reason they did not tealre—and he thought those who were pusiness men would understand It—to put their cards on the table. They would, however. make every effort to sive them come idea of the reason of heir visit, but as to thelr actual pro- posal they must aak to be given some more time before these were put be- jore them. They were very keen on frank A{scussion. They recognized hat the elective members were thelr riends. They wanted to meet them. put at @ later date when they would nave time to have some negotiations with the government. It was no secret that they had made a bid for the loan whtch they hoped to get shortly. They hoped their bid would be acceptable, pat, then they were in competition. If they lost it, It was not because they had not bid to the highest they could, Genstrustion Ne Barrier ‘The different speaker hod raised otr- tain paints which be would endeavor to answar. Mr. P. N. Browne had re- ferred to the Constitution. He would Uke to make some reference to that. The Constitution was no affairs of theira ‘They cams to the colony to bid for ite len whether they kept their Constitution or changed it, and he would tet exprees an opinion an to which state of things thay would be well afvised to have because they were otrangere to the colony, In Mr. Browne's opiaisa the development of the Btstartand meant that labor would schnlt oame He was inclined to agree with him.

They were prepared to buy & considerable amount of bonds, Mr. Dias was of the opinion that perhaps the amount of the loan for which tendera might be asked would not be sufficient. That was not thelr fault. It was for the governnent to decide the amount of money they wanted, and it was for them or the people Who were competing to find that money. He did not desire any of them {0 go away with the Idea that they were only willing to put up a cer- tain amount of money. They were pre- pared to find « substantial sum. Mr Strickland, who spoke next, inquired whether they expected the elective ‘mambers to prepare schemes for them fend put them before them for their consideration. He must frankly ad- mit that he thought it was really up to the elective members to place schemes before them for their consideration. and ap be hoped when they bad similar @iscussions they might arrive at an underatending. Mr. Nascimento bad made & very important point which be would answer as a contrac- tor. ‘Mr Naselmento asked whether they would be prepared to accept bonds in payment and carry out public works In the colony. His answer (o that was em- phatically “yes, provided that the bonds offered them were of sufficiently large amounte to be attractive to thetr fnan~ clal advisera so that they could place them, and provided they could get them at proper prices. Speaking purely as a contractor he did not think it was aiwoya tho best possible plan to pay « contractor 1s bonds, It was a much cleverer deal to make thelr bargain with a financial group than to go to the contractor with the money ta their hands and ek him to tender for thelr job. Nr McArthur and others had made able speeches referring to a railway He wanted to anewer generally They were prepared to examine any scheme for the internal development of the colony whether it be hydro-electric son tise, inisérale sr Savtluhe eloe, but he could not that might con- ne himeelt tu any particular one Me chought he was right io saying that there was a variance of opinion as to where It should be built It was dim- cult for them to say anything before hey had the deneftt of going into the interior. ‘They would have to gather 1nd control more information than they nad at present before they could come to 4 decision. They were out for internal fevelopment; they were entering into negotiations with the government for {, and he only hoped that any proposals hey might put before the government and any counter proposals which the government might put to them would jogether shape info something that would be of beneftt to the colony. Time to Go Forward It was high time that the colony went forward, They had thelr intertor as an uasert for sometime past, but it was an geset that had not brought them any- ching very much, and he was agree- ably surprised to come here and find fhe consensus of opinion in favor of pinterland development He must admit yhat before they arrived they were led in some ways to belleve that they would And a wave of depression in respect of everything, and that nobody had cal- culated to do anything. They had found exactly the oppoaite—practically evory- body they had talked to, although some might have slfered, ad'« very big vee vith regard to the future and a ctrong oeling that the hinterland had enormous | nod vast prospects. He was afraid that heoe remarks were generalizations. Ho gould not say more, but he hoped at a ater date to talk more frankly upon a yubsect that they knew more about and nave the denftt of having the views of any schemes which members might pave in their minds (Cheers) Not Speculators: Colonel Evans said there was only one thing be bad to say. Just before coming to the colony be was asked whether he was an underwriter, @ capitallst, or « apeculator, and he made It quite clear that the party were nelther underwriters nor speculators.
