XII. No. 18 FELLOW MFN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Greeting: So the Hottentots have risen in rebellion in South West Africa, and the English are about to use their aeroplanes in bombing them into submission! Not very long ago the natives of Kenya, South East Africa, rebelled, and they also were put down by organized military force. This reveals to us an unhealthy state of affairs. The natives of Kenya were able to fight only with sticks and stones; the Hottentots in this their new rebellion are fighting with wooden spears and leather shields. Surely they cannot put up much resistance against aeroplanes bombing them from the sky and mounted forces charging them with bayonets and shooting them down with the latest model rifles. The spirit of the people, according to these two rebellions, has arisen to the sense of liberty, but they do not know how to get it. They believe that they can successfully use their sticks, stones, and wooden spears to repel and expel the "vicious alien enemy." It is not practicable. Those of us who have mixed with modern civilization know that the natives of Africa will never be able to redeem their country in this way. If they must expel the invader, and that is expected, then they will have to do so on modern, scientific lines. We cannot fight for our liberty nowadays with sticks and stones; we must have the latest model machine guns, the most deadly gas, and those weapons that have stood the test of modern combat. DUE A Bit of Advice Instead of so many of us wasting our time in pool rooms, cabarets and places of evil repute around these modern American cities and the progressive countries of the West Indies, why not put in our time developing ourselves scientifically, learning how to manufacture chemicals that can be applied for useful purposes in such conflicts as do take place in Kenya and in South West Africa? Surely the introduction of chemical gas among the Hottentots and the natives of Kenya would place them in a better position to handle "the alien disturbers of African peace." Surely Smuts and other Boers would not have such an easy time subduing black men if our brothers knew how to apply a little chemical fire to some of these "cold and frigid disturbers of human liberty." Surely the chemical heat would warm them up a bit, and they would get to realize that the whole world is not an iceberg, and that certain parts in Africa can be made as warm even as the borders of Hades! Opportunity at Our Door! It strikes me, with all the civilization that America and this Western World affords, Negroes ought to take better advantage of the course of higher education. In any city we can find institutions of learning where we can develop ourselves technically and otherwise. We could make of ourselves better mechanics, better scientists, better artisans, and if we have no use for the knowledge today, surely we could apply it in the days to come, and in cases where we can help our brothers in Africa by making use of the knowledge we possess, it would be but our duty. If Africa is to be redeemed the Western Negro will have to make a valuable contribution, and there can be no better contribution to African liberty made by us than that which is technical and scientific. Aeroplanes in Africa The Hottentots have no aeroplanes, and because of that the Boers and the British can bomb them out of their holes and huts and ultimately subdue them. But around these American cities and this Western World we have many Negroes who can fly in aeroplanes. Why not build some, and when the Hottentots need aeroplanes to combat aeroplanes, why not give them of our technical ability and help them to put over the big job that all of us want done? It is true that we cannot get our aeroplanes from America to Africa; but, after all, we can build aeroplanes anywhere for that matter, even in South West Africa, and it does not take such a long time to build them after all. But first of all we must get the knowledge; we must have the skill by which we can do these things when the time comes. The Duel of Brains This may sound very harsh and cold-blooded, but it is for me to let the world know, it is for me to let all the members of the Negro race know, that nobody is going to listen to you if you pray, if you sing, or if you shout. Nowadays the only Being that listens to prayers is our Heavenly NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 ERS OF SOUTH NES TO BOMB NATIVES ONLY HAVE STICKS AND LEATHER SHIELDS WITH WHICH TO FIGHT IF AFRICA IS TO BE REDEEMED THE WESTERN NEGRO MUST HELP WITH SCIENTIFIC AND MECHANICAL SKILL MAN DOESN'T LISTEN TO PRAYERS OR HARKEN TO PETITIONS, BUT HE FEELS THIRD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGRO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD PROMISES SOLUTION TO PROBLEM Father, and He is quite away in Heaven. We hope to meet Him one day, because, as Christians and believers in the one true and living God, all of us hope to see our judgment; but today we are on earth, and I repeat that man does not listen to prayers; he does not hearken to petitions, and you may hold as many mass meetings as there are days in the year, he is not going to listen to you. Man only feels. If you can drop a bomb further than he can, and even more deadly, then he is going to listen to your complaint. If you can make some chemical and produce some explosive by which you can put him out of commission easier than he can you, he is going to listen to you; so we must not expect our brothers in Africa to save Africa by prayers, petitions and mass meetings; Africa can only be redeemed by the scientific skill of the Negro himself. He will have to match fire with hell-fire; he will have to match science with higher science; he will have to match brains with greater brains. It is well we understand this now. The great white man has held sovereignty over the world through his power in science, in art, and in industry. Negroes, my advice to you is to get that kind of power that will place you on a par with the great white man. If you think that you can stand on Mother Earth with a bow and arrow in your hand and shoot the man from the plane five miles above you, you make a tremendous mistake, because in two seconds he will put you out of commission by dropping a bomb on your head, and the next thing you know you are on a long trip across Jordan. If you want to meet the other fellow and he has his aeroplane, get one. If you want to hold that which is your own, you have to get the kind of protection that is necessary. If the other fellow has a long-range gun, you cannot use a bow and arrow, because he will blow you to pieces—you have simply to go and get a long range gun, and one that can fire at least ten yards further than his. These are cold facts, and it is well the Negro realized that now. We are living in a material age, the age when power rules—not sentiment, not emotion, but power, and the best thing you can do is to get it. The Negro Tradition We are not disappointed, however, because the Hottentots have lost in their effort for freedom, or because the natives of Kenya have lost their chance of liberty. The reverses they have suffered only tend to open our eyes, to make us realize that the age of sticks and stones is past, and the age of scientific combat is here. I trust Negroes nowhere will try to start anything unless they are well prepared, because this is an age of preparedness on the part of all peoples. We want a better system of world organization. We want that common sympathy among us as a race that will cause us to feel over the reverses of the Hottentots as they do themselves. Surely the Hottentots are not related to the Boers or to the Africander Bond, or even the Englishman; but the Hottentot is flesh of our flesh and blood of our blood. You can hardly distinguish the Hottentot from an American Negro, or the Kenya native from a West Indian Negro. We hear the same semblance because we are of the same race. White men are so loyal to themselves that if Russians are suffering from a famine, American white men will sub- scribe one hundred million dollars to relieve their needs. Yes, even though Germany and England were at loggerheads, Englishmen will not see Germans starve because they had a fight the other day. Why, therefore, should West Indian and American Negroes be disinterested in what happens to the Negro in Africa? Again I say, we want a closer union in race, we want a deeper and greater love for and among ourselves. Not until we get to realize that the destiny of each and every Negro is linked up with the entire race will we as a people put over that racial program that will cause us to merit the respect of all the other races and nations of the world. I feel so much over the Kenya native reverses, as also the reverses of the Hottentots, that I only wish that I was in a position to give them all the assistance they need to free their country of the "alien pest." Behind the murder of the hundreds of thousands and millions of Negroes annually in Africa is the well-organized system of exploitation by the alien intruder who desires to rob Africa of every bit of its wealth for the satisfaction of their race and the further development of European countries. We can expect no sympathetic approach to Africa from the alien races who are now clamoring for African possession. We have had a fair example of alien Christian control of Africa through the outrages of Leopold of Belgium when he not very long ago butchered so many millions of our brothers and sisters in the Congo Free State. What Leopold did in the Belgian Congo is what Smuts and other Boers are about to do in German East Africa, South East and South West Africa. If we take no interest in the higher development of the African native, it will mean that in another ten years the world will have a new tale to tell about Africa. Yes, I say in another fifty years historians and writers will tell us that the black man once inhabited Africa, just as the North American Indian once inhabited America. But those of us who have our eyes open are determined that the black man shall not be a creature of the past, but he shall be a being of this present, as well as of the future, and he shall live on this planet earth until God is ready to call all men to their judgment. Those of us who are thoughtful can well realize and understand the great plan that is laid out for the extermination of the weaker peoples and races of the world. The killing of a few natives here and there every other day, every other week, and every other month, will mean that in another few years there will be very few natives left, and so long as Negroes or African natives can only protect their lives with sticks and stones and leather shields, so long will they be killed from long distances, from long ranges, and those of us who are well versed in western civilization would be nothing but criminals to fold our hands on this side of God's green earth with all the knowledge that we have of things modern and allow these our brothers to suffer because of lack of proper help. Lafayette Lafayette came to this country and helped in the freeing, in the development, of this great nation. He was only a white man, not an American. As Lafayette did that from the largeness of his heart for the purpose of helping his race to become free and independent, so can many a black Lafayette go to South East or South West Africa or anywhere to help the natives to get that freedom, that liberty, that God gave to every man when He said, "Let there be light." We must organize the world to suit ourselves. We cannot afford to allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to take advantage of us, and that is why we are asking Negroes everywhere to send to the third annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, to be assembled in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August of the present year, as many delegates as they possibly can. We want men of intelligence; we want men of courage, men of character who will devise the ways and means by which we can protect our race now and in the future. The Negro is unsafe anywhere he happens to be. He is suffering all over the world; therefore, if we are suffering in common, we should organize in common for our own protection. Whether we be American, West Indian, South and Central American, or African Negroes, our cause is one; hence, we should unite our forces to bring about the change that we desire universally. It is the duty of every Negro to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put over its big program of racial emancipation and the liberation of Africa. Africa must be redeemed if the Negro is to be free. The Negro must be free if he is to continue to live a man. The bringing about of such results means hard work, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has undertaken the job. It is for you to help us put it over. You can do so by subscribing to the African Redemption Fund. You can send $1, $2, $4, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, addressed to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., or you can subscribe to the 1922 Convention Fund. Money is needed to finance the great convention in August of the present year. You can help by sending in your $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 to the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y.

MAN-MADE PROBLEMS FOR over a quarter of a century we have been hearing of "The Negro Problem," and now in Boston we are hearing of "The Jewish Problem." And we infer from what the Boston American said in the issue of Saturday, June 10, that the Jews are something of a problem at both Columbia University and New York University. What do we mean by a problem? In the first place, we must distinguish between a problem per se, a problem in the nature of things and a problem that is made a problem by the perversity of man, and by the artificial distinction of society. Last Friday afternoon we looked out of our window and towards the west and saw looming up an immense hill, grass covered on the slope and covered with trees on the top. We were informed that from the top of that hill one could see the nearby towns and the country side for miles around. We inquired how long a time would it require to reach the top of that hill. One person said fifteen minutes, another twenty minutes, and still another thirty minutes. We commented upon the time difference that was stated by the various speakers. Finally one person said, "It will depend entirely how fast you can walk, how fast you can go up hill and whether you have to pause to rest." Now, here we had a situation. As to whether it would take one fifteen, thirty, forty-five or sixty minutes to climb to the top of that hill would depend entirely as to whether one sauntered along or hurried, as to whether one could climb that long hill without pausing for breath or would be forced to stop and rest two or three times on the ascent. But if one had on a pair of tight shoes, which made walking even on level ground difficult, or if he had no shoes at all and would be forced to walk barefooted, and would have to tread carefully to avoid rough pebbles, pieces of glass, sharp rocks, briars and thistles, or if he was over fat and carried seventy-five pounds of excess weight, he would have a problem on his hands getting to the top of the hill. The problem would not exist in the nature of things, but only in the tight shoes, no shoes or the excess fat of the man. Take off the tight shoes, put on easy walking shoes and remove the excessive avoirdupois and there would be no problem in reaching the top of the hill and enjoying the magnificent view, only a situation. So it is with the so-called Negro problem. If the Negro was regarded as a full-fledged man, permitted to grow and develop naturally and exercise his particular talent, whether it was philosophical, scientific, literary, musical, artistic, agricultural, mechanical, inventive or commercial, if his civic, political, industrial, economic and social status was determined by his worth as a man and not by the color of his skin, there would be no Negro problem. But in many sections of this country, when they speak of a Negro, they do not mean a man, but a man ape, that is, a being who represents a half way stage between man and the ape, even when they see him unusually intelligent and noble, they still do not regard him as a man but more like an educated horse or a dog who can count. Hence they enact special legislation to define his civic and political status, bar him from certain occupations, and permit him to go so far in other occupations and farther, ostracize him and lynch him occasionally to teach him to know his place. And the Negro finds himself in the position of a pedestrian whose shoes are too tight or of a boy who has outgrown the suit that his parents purchased a couple of years ago. The Negro finding himself repressed and fettered grows restive and restless and begins to complain. And then the country says that it has a Negro problem on its hands. But the only problem lies in the tight shoes and small clothes that have been imposed upon the Negro. Remove the tight shoes and small clothes, give him shoes that his feet can be comfortable in and clothes which permit him to stretch his arms and breathe and there will be no Negro problem. The problem is a man-made problem and not a problem per se, because the restrictive legislation and the caste proscription endeavors to assign fixed limits to the Negro's free development and full enjoyment of his citizenship rights on the assumption that he belongs to the genus homo but not the genus vir. With regard to the problem of the foreign immigrant the condition is partly a problem and partly a situation. A few weeks ago the problem of the foreign immigrant was discussed at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in a New England town. It was stated by one of the speakers that many foreigners came to America because of her opportunities for education and wealth and her free speech and free institutions, and when they get to this country instead of falling in with her traditions and ideals in a whole-hearted manner, still cling to the traditions, ideals and socialistic and bollastic tendencies of Europe. Now that seems to be the fear at Harvard and other American institutions of learning, they feel that if there were a large preponderance of Jewish students, the universities would be more Jewish than American and that their aristocratic traditions and system of exclusive social clubs would be seriously disturbed and affected. Thus we see that the Negro's situation is entirely different from that of the foreign immigrant. The black man only asks for the same privileges and the same opportunities that other human beings enjoy. The foreign immigrant often devalues to charge and metamorphose the institutions of the country to which he has had for refuge. Not possessing the social aspirations of the Jew as the revolutionary tendencies of some foreigner, but only desiring citizenship rights and privileges, we find not a Negro problem but a Negro problem. If a man has a problem on his hands if he finds himself paralyzed or inflicted with valvular heart trouble, hardening of the arteries, Bright's disease, tuberculosis, hardening of the liver or dropy. But he has no moral problem if his shoes are too tight or clothes too small. carve a man of color is rated as a man and treated according to what a man. And when foreigners come to America, fleeing them and seeking aid and so the Negro the under dog they maintain Some sympathies, with him because he suffers as they receive not others, forgetting their trials and tribulations in their native form Americans in showing contempt for them. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JUNE 17. 1922 THE SWELTERING EAST FRAZIER HUNT, following the pace set by Lothrop Stoddard, is warning the white world that it is dancing on the top of a volcano of revolt. In his book, "The Rising Temper of the East," Mr Hunt tells us that "Everywhere throughout the East there are danger signals flashing their warning to the conquering West. The ruling, the domineering, the looting, must cease. If the West were wise it would shift its course now while there is still time. If it blindly stumbles on, ignoring these danger signals, the day will come when the work and profits of 400 years will be swept away. "There are many men, wise to the East, who today not only feel that this will happen, but that once freed from the heel of the white West, and with the adoption of the science and culture of modern warfare, these billion men will seek race revenge and that again black, brown and yellow hordes may swoop over white Europe and its great outposts of white culture." In India and Egypt, Arabia and Persia, China and Japan, Korea and Siberia, Haiti and the Philippines, it was the same way—the darker races are rising against the tyranny of white rule In India Mr Hunt had an interview with Mahatma Gandhi and the India martyr said something to him that ought to cause black folk to sit up and think. It is this: "One thing is certain—India is not going to stop. We are trying to win by non-violence; if this fails the consequence will be too terrible to contemplate. Our people then will have lost all faith in peaceful means." We ought to profit by that little sentence of "St Gandhi." "IF WE MUST DIE" SOME time ago we emphasized the fact that one of the most wholesome, most sobering remedial agencies in the cure of lynching is the repayment of the lynchers in their own coin. When the mob knows that the group to whom their victims belong is sure to retaliate on the lynchers' group in the knowledge that if one must die one will not die alone The most salutary example of "eye for an eye" was demonstrated by the Negroes of Washington, D.C., during the July root of 1919. It is well known that the toll of death among the whites was so large, and so appalling, and overbalanced the death toll among Negroes to such an extent that the correct check-up was never given to the public. The men who paid these lynchers in their own coin, besides adding laurels to the courage and valor of their race, set an example in retaliation that will forever be an inspiration to members of the race when they face the situation, "If we must die." This spirit of retaliation was exhibited by the martyrred Sergeant Caldwell in Alabama several years ago who, seeing that he must die, either at the hands of a street car conductor and motorman, or be executed by the law of the State for defending himself against their assault, preferred to exact the lives of his assailants. The same spirit, but with a different result from the Caldwell case, seized a frenzied mob of Negroes in Richmond, Va., Sunday when they pursued and put to death a white motorman of the Virginia Railway & Power Co who, it is reported, assaulted a Negro during an altercation on a street car. It is almost the invariable custom of white street car conductors and motormen to unite in assault on Negroes who incur their displeasure. It was such a case that resulted in the Caldwell tragedy, and such cases that urge Negroes everywhere to consider how we should acquit ourselves. It may be that public sentiment will run high, as in the Richmond case, at present, but intensity of public excitement is always followed by sober reflection when the check-up shows how disastrous results may have been avoided. One thing is certain and that is that the cause is not likely to be repeated, especially when Negroes decree to exact a heavy toll. THE HARVARD BAN-A LESSON THE NATION, in a long editorial, is vehement in its denunciation of recent manifestations of anti-Semitism at Harvard. Harvard, it charges, is not the only American university that discriminates against the Hebrews. It goes so far as to name Columbia and New York University. As an example of the gravity of the situation, the New York World instituted an inquiry, the results of which seemed to indicate that after all the Nation's charges are not altogether groundless It would be interesting for someone to start an investigation into the number of universities that discriminate against the Negro Of course, even if it were to be done, it would not disturb anybody's equilibrium, as 12,000,000 Negroes are not half as significant as a few hundred thousand Hebrews. All of which only brings us to a very important point. The Jew came to this country and had just as hard a time as the Negro making a living. Prejudice of every kind was used against him. Even today it is just as difficult for a Hebrew to share in the spoils of this "great democracy" of ours as the Negro. But the Jew worked. It is a penchant of his. Far into the night he labored and saved and conquered and owned until today he is one of the prime factors in the economic life of the United States. It would be well for us to study and profit by the story of the Hebrew and his phenomenal rise to power in the United States. ABYSSINIA AND ALDERMAN HARRIS By publishing the "back to Ethiopia" statement in the New York News Alderman Harris has filled his seat on the front bench among the prophets. There was a time by no means far distant when the Alderman was wont to ridicule any suggestion relating to repatriation to the "homeland." Now, we find him stealing our thunder in regard to educated American Negroes going over to assist in the development of Liberia, and this is quickly followed by his advocacy of a return to Ethiopia in his weekly. We have pleasure in indorsing this new plan of "back to Africa" campaign which the Alderman has inaugurated, and we heartily welcome him to the ranks of the converted now that he has already placed himself among the prophets. He, like the other Negro leaders, will eventually learn through that experience which is born of much tribulation, that the black man's place is in Africa, whether in Abyssinia, Liberia or elsewhere, and that to that country he must go to impart to his brethren such knowledge as he has acquired in the West, under the dominion of the white man so that the country will be improved and developed in the interests of the black man. The departure of the European from Africa may be unfortunate for him, but the march of events over which he has no control makes his exit from the scene of his exploitation an imperative necessity. The brain of the black man is at least the equal of that of any other branch of the genus homo, and it is therefore possible for us to take that which is left to us in our homeland. Although Alderman Harris has been viewing Pisgah through other eyes, we not only welcome his return to sanity, but we are also looking forward to a period when Dr. DuBois, James Weldon Johnson and the other highbrow black Americans who think white, will have abandoned the shadow of a spurious American citizenship for the more solid advantages of African co-operation and repatriation. "It is far better," as a well-known colored politician remarked, "to be a king among pigs than to be a pig among kings." FOREIGN AFFAIRS By DUSE MOHAMED ALI The Prince of Wales' visit to Cairo on his way back to England is creating considerable uneasiness in London political circles. The uneasiness is voiced by the London weekly, "Outlook," which says, "Of all the unfortunate moments to select for the Prince's visit to Cairo, this seems about the worst. Here is a country that does not want us, says so plainly, and we in reply have agreed to clear out, bag and baggage. An Englishman's life in Cairo at the present moment is worth about as much as a dog's. There has been a succession of murders. The police never find the assassins. To expose the Prince in the streets of Cairo under the protection of an incompetent police force is to take a very big risk without any compensating advantages." The alarm of "The Outlook" for the Prince's safety is undoubtedly justified by the conditions at present prevailing in Egypt, but unfortunately "The Outlook" does not understand the mentality of the Egyptian people. The Prince, although an Englishman is an honored guest and we have always known how to treat those who partake of our hospitality. The Prince of Wales will therefore be exposed to no danger whatever. As far as "the dog's life" of the Englishman in Egypt is concerned, if he suffers now at the hands of the Egyptian people, he has nobody but himself to blame. He came to the Nile valley unbidden. For forty years we reasoned with him about the necessity for his departure, and he sneered at our reasoning. Metaphorically we threw tufts of grass at him and he heaped ridicule upon us. Then, like the old man in Aesop's fable, we tried what virtue there was in stones, and he straightway began to cry out at our ingratitude! He had forgotten that we had been progressively taxed for forty years to support him, that he conquered the Sudan with our troops and our money so that he might acquire a partnership in a fruitful land, free, gratis and for nothing, and now that we have made him understand in unequivocal terms that he must depart, he tenaciously clings to the Sudan, which is the best portion of the Egyptian dominions. We are not satisfied. We want the whole of our birthright, and the murders of which "The Outlook" complains are likely to continue until England fully realizes that she must clear out, "bag and bagage", from the entire land of Egypt, which includes the Sudan. We Egyptians are a doctile and law-abiding people. Because we were doctile and law-abiding we were mistaken for fools. If poor worms that we were, we have turned assassins, as "The Outlook" is pleased to term us, we have been driven to adopt the argument of force, which is the only argument the Englishman appears to understand. It is stated by H. H. Topakyan, the Persian Consul General to New York, that the colored people of America are invited by Prince Regent Raz Tafary of Abyssima to return to the homeland where a cordial welcome awaits them. I have frequently stated that the objective of the Negro in the new world must inevitably be Africa. Abyssima being more independent than Liberia, in view of the invitation which the Ethiopians have extended, efforts should be made to get into closer touch with the former country. It is all very well for Negroes in the new world to live in a fool's paradise. An exodus is bound to come. The bond of African unity must be more firmly knit than hitherto. The awailing which is taking place must be fostered. The whites in the new world, for the most part, are only concerned about the colored people in proportion to the amount of manual labor they can perform. The Negro of education is not wanted, and those who till the soil for the benefit of the white parasite never, by any chance, obtain adequate remuneration for their labor. Economic conditions are daily becoming more difficult, and the Negro will find that he must either starve in the new world and be eventually exterminated, or return to the home of his forefathers where he can be a MAN in the highest and truest sense of the term. Dr Mark L. Ward, the head of the American Relief, who was recently turned out of Anatolia by the Nationalist Government has had an interview in London with the old reactionary, Lord Falconer, where, it is reported, he recounted the observations he is alleged to have made in regard to the much advertised Turkish atrocities, requesting the noble Earl to hasten the investigation. It is to be hoped that the commission will be composed of men endowed with clear vision and open minds, otherwise there will be little hope of the world arriving at the real truth. So greatly has the minds of the people at large been poisoned by a pernicious antit Turkish propaganda that it is to be feared there will be very few men who could be found to serve on the commission who will be in a mental condition to approach the investigation with minds unbased and uninfluenced by Armenian and Greek misinterpretation. Meanwhile the Greeks, who know that ultimate defeat is inevitable, have been allowed to enter the Black Sea with their fleet, where they have demolished the defenseless villages, blowing the inhabitants into it, to be to be hoped, a more hospitable and kindly sphere. No commission will, however, be appointed to inquire into this matter because these acts of brigandage and wholesale murder have been committed under the guise of warfare with the full cognizance of Great Britain, who was wont to complain most bitterly when the Germans raided London and other parts of England during the recent war. England is in control of the straits leading to the Black Sea, therefore, the Greeks could not bombard Samsun and other places on the Black Sea unless England had permitted the Greeks right of entry. Yet English statesmen, when requesting an armistice less than two months ago, were most violable in their protestations in the direction of obtaining peace in Asia Minor. They do want peace—with a victorious Greece dictating terms Unfortunately the so-called white civilization, led, for the most part, by Anglo-Saxondom, are not only showing less regard for those other forms of civilization which are not Christian, but they have made very limited efforts in the direction of understanding them. In this way needless antagonisms are being bred and fostered and these antagonisms must inevitably result in that combination of color resistance which Lothrop Stoddard fears and which will lead to the extinction of the rather materialistic ideals for which white civilization stands. William Randolph Hearst is the latest champion of these ideals with America as the dominant factor in a white combination and Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, has issued his warning on the possibility of the breaking up of this civilization. The combination which Hearst advocates we know to be impossible because these boasted ideals are not identical except in the matter of exploitation, and this very exploitation is the force which creates jealousies and works disruption, which was abundantly illustrated in the late war. Hart believes that the Africans could have no object in joining forces with Indians and Chinese because these people would only be exchanging a white master for one of yellow hue who would not be no more kindly than the Belgian, French or Portuguese had been. Mr Hart does not realize that the new spirit which animates Asia and Africa is tired of domination in any form. If, however, by reason of its weakness, the African or the Indian must be dominated, it would prefer to be dominated by one of the darker peoples rather than by those of lighter hue. There need be little doubt about the British, French and Dutch being driven from Asia, as Mr. Hart predicts, even as the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Belgians will be driven from Africa. Six hundred years ago the Mongolian Turks crossed into Europe and conquered the best portion of the Christian world when the Turks were comparatively few in numbers. There are six hundred million dark people who have been more or less dominated by four hundred million white or "near white." These six hundred millions are, for the most part, followers of the Arabian prophet whose forefathers conquered and built an Empire in Spain. Some of them were brown, more of them were black. Christianity, as a civilizing force, is spent. The late war has proved that the darker members of the human family have been watching the antics of those of lighter hue. We know that dry rot has set in. White civilization has begun to totter to its fall, and neither William Randolph Hearst nor Albert Bushnell Hart will ever be able to set it up again. The Saturday Evening 10, 1972, contains the first part story by that Indefinite The Negro nent of the irreducible an Milton, Irv Cobb. The story is pur be written by a gentleman he Afri- who writes in the first person, thleen us write it in his own way, thus, 'My name is J. Poindexter. B full name is Jefferson Exodus Poding ter. But most always in general I tl- been known as Jeff for short, a the Exodus is because my Mamm craved I should be named after some- body out of the Bible He goes on to write of his experiences in getting to and around New York. This happens to be his first trip to the metropolis. Also of his meeting with the "high-toned niggers." And the fact that they will not tolerate being called "nigger" whether seriously or in fun. One of his conversations with the train porter ran like this: "And then he says I should also be careful about speaking the word "nigger." He says the word isn't used no more amongst colored folks which respects themselves." "I says to him, I says, 'Huh.' I says, 'well, then, what does you call a boy wen you blabbin' along wid him friendly lak." "He says it is different when I is strict) amongst my own color, but that I mustn't never speak the word "nigger" in front of white folks nor never allow on white man to call me that and get away with it. We feel sure it will give any one a delightful half hour's reading, also quite a few humorous chuckles. But what struck us was the fact that in spots it smacks of the Ring Lardner style. In other words, it would seem that Mr. Iryt was stolen Rt L. a thunder. We have read many former short stories written by this author using this same character, only under different conditions. Then he was Judge Private left, but always he afforded us pleasant reading. But this is good. We can recall a few more just as delightfully humorous stories in the S. E. P. Especially do we recall some written by Harris Dickson. His character was an old man, Zach Foster. For years ever since he could remember he had been with Col Spottiwood. At time he was Col Spottiwood Zach. Whenever new guests came to the Colonel, however, he would introduce himself as Zach Foster, "but" he would add, "every one white and black, calls me Old Rellable yes, sub." In a dogmatic manner of speaking it was shown that the colored man could, on all occasions, be a smart thinker. Everything else in the contrary Ole Rellable would always get in some scrape, and his muzzle wit would be sure to extricate him. At times he even used this nimble wit in his old head to help the young people about him. We enjoyed reading these stories very much and lamented because they were eventually discontinued in the S. E. P. Yet we discovered their reappearance in another magazine as all we did was to include in our list of such reading material. The Negro stories written by Hugh Wiley also appearing in the S. E. P. from time to time do not appeal to us. He is a well-tint point in our memory that we can call to attention. We have never spared enough time to read any one of those stories entirely through. To us Wildish and his great samurai do not exist. It could not be rationally. This, of course, does not mean that they would not afford interesting reading to many. We are speaking only of our own personal inherent dislike. To our mind the honorable Mr. Wiley had never come in violent, vivid contact with any one of his characters. He must have stayed off at a distance and watched through a binocular.

Fraternal Review Which is tantamount to saying, 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.' BORAH FOR STATE RIGHTS WASHINGTON, June 11—Senator Borah of Idaho announced today his opposition to the antllynching bill now before Congress. He declared that editors and members of Congress who favor the transfer of powers vested by the Constitution in States to the Federal Government were lawless brothers of those who under more trying circumstances joined the mob and took the law into their own hands. The anti-lynching bill he characterized as "unconstitutional and ineffective." "To all the national government be authorized to take over the police power of the State in violation or in part?" asked Senator Bernstein. "There is no dodging the question. If the people of this nation want redistribute the power of the government, let's face the question through a constitutional amendment and put an end to the constant pressure on Congress to disregard their catholic and equally persistent presence. Supreme Court to give authority made constitution." "Year after year we have lashed into passing manifold manifestly unconstitutional it has come to be a manifestly apparently that the Congress disregard the Constitution leave the Supreme Court protect it.

Carter, tonight read a telegram to that effect sent by the President - General from Amarillo, ‘Texas, The memberehip of the New ‘York local will no doubt prepare to five a rousirg welcome to the Pres- Adent-General on bis returs to New ‘York. appreciating. as they do, the valuable work which he has sccom- pllsbed during hie mission through the country in getting together the various branches of the organisation eo that, at the coming convention, avery Aivision throughout the coun- try will be atrongty represented. ‘The first speaker tonight was Mra Waltera, wife of the late Bishop Alex- anders Walters, who ls an ardent lover of the Universal Negro Improvement ‘Aasoclation, and may be sean on the platform every Sunday night. Mra Walters was called on unexpectedly and had no sot speech, but Allied with an inspiration born of love for the cause, ahe spoke under the impulse and uttered some vary beautiful sentiments ‘which received well merited applause ‘The platform of Liberty Hall, she said. was a university in which those who attended Liberty Hall were schooled tn the art of oratory. She eriphasized ber love for the association and spoke eacouragingly of its possibilities and those of the Black Star Line, even though the latter had received some set-back Notwithstanding that, ehe was not without hope that the move- ment would be put over if we but have the courage to stand behind our lead- es. She made « convincing plea for eolldartty, eaying that there {s tremen- ous power in the very aggregation of mumbera, and If we can combine and summon together these West Indiar Negroes, these American Negroes and these Negroes on the Continent of South America we would be a tremen- ous power in the world. There Is lurking, she continued, in the breast of the colored races of the world. thal racial conscioumness that we desire tc have some place and some spot in the world where wa too may be considere¢ asa part of mankind; but it can only be done as we bind ourselves and as we summon ourselves together to thle or- ganization. She made allusion to the great influence which the Negro World was wielding in Africa in awakening the consciousness of the native Afri. cans, and, In conclusion, she enjoines ‘all to stand by the President-General adding that the movement could not be put over unless we were true to him and the organizati a, *-4 were pre- pared to stand oy bin. until death. ‘The next speaker was Hon RL. Poston, who delivered « practical talk which was both Interesting and in. structive, ‘The last speaker was Hon G Carter who spoke on the subject, “Signa of the Times” White men, he said are more concerned and interested 11 the movements of Nogroes today thar thay have ever been in history, and 1 wae because of the decided awaken- tag of consciousness on the part o! the darker peoples of the world x which awakening the white man sees hie ruin if the atttude that be has maintained towards the Negro 1s not changed. The Negro who makes up the membership of the Universal Negrc Improvament Association, he declared wes interested in doing things now; Bet they must be Gone in euch a way that men will Know that we have the ability to do things that shall be pleas- ing tn the aight of God and comment- ‘able tn the sight of man.

The fret thing that attracted her wo (he association and Drought her into it was the promotion of the Black Star Ling She saw the benefits which would accrue to the race In the de- Yelopment of a line of ebips plying the ocean and connecting the people of oglor throughout the world “1 ever felt” abe sald, “that the Amer- lean Negro could develop auch an idea, but I knew the Weat Indian Ne- sro was an insular man, having Knowledge of ships and navigation and I felt we could organise a line of Steamsbipe and float them and thus advance the race, economically, social- ly. politically and civieally Although we bave had some setbacks in the Black Star Line Tam not without hope.

Duvall Second Annual Promenade and Picnic PHILADELPHIA. Pa. June 4.—The new Chapter 41 is fast making its influence a powerful factor for the uplift and improvement of this community. As the brightest star shedding its light, its sends a ray of hope and good-will into the life of every believer in the true spirit of Garveyism in this city. Therefore, proud of her present achievement in making a short and yet eventful history, she stands today as the symbol of a new era for the U N L. A. in Philadelphia. It is the symbol of a constructive policy. Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the auditorium of the Women's Christian Alliance, 16th street, below South, an assembly which filled the hall to its capacity awaited the speakers of the afternoon. Enthusiasm ran high and a veritable oratorical feast was in store for every one. For seated upon the rostrum with Hon. W. O. Smyer, the president and executive officers, was the Commissioner to the State of New York, Dr. C. M. Duvall. Special music was rendered by the choir, ably assisted by Miss Inas Macklin at the piano. The chapter is also very fortunate in having among its musical talent, the services of Dr. Peruvial Martin of 1516 Lombard street, who assisted Miss Macklin from time to time. The juveniles were represented by little Miss Gwendolyn Benjamin, whose articulation and delivery are so well night perfect. Her rendition, "Oh Africa," was done with rare intelligence and gusto. Short addresses were next in order and Mra. Estella Matthews, Dr. Lovell and the president, Hon. O. H. C. Jerome, drew the rapt attention and plaudits of the assembly. Hon. W. O. Smyer was then introduced by the president. He in his usual manner gripped his audience and held them under the spell of that wonderful type of eloquence so characteristic of him. The speech was as practical as it was eloquent and the minds of his hearers were properly instructed on the kind of leadership the black man should have in this new era of the New GUARANTEED At Last We Have a Place That Can Guarantee Perfect Eye Comfort for Bad Eyes LENOX OPTICAL CO. 571 Lenox Avenue Between 139th and 140th Streets EYES EXAMINED FREE Second Negro. Among other things he touched upon the Liberian situation created by the advancing of the $5,000,000 loan to the African Republic, whereby one agrees to accept a white American Commissioner who will practically dictate her future policy. Such a situation, said the speaker, was created by a leadership without vision and foreseeing. The speaker quoted in Ibu Bola, who said, following the Pan-African Congress, that the destiny of the darker races rested in the hands of Lloyd George. He disagreed with this conclusion of Dr Du Bola, in that the destiny of a race, as of an individual, rested in its own hands, and the destiny of the black race rests in the hands of black men. The failure of our leadership in the past, said the commissioner, had been caused by failure to correctly understand and interpret the peculiar psychology of white statesmanship and the intention to always relegate the darker race to a subsidiary or dependent position. Such a situation had been created by the signers of the American Liberian treaty, pointed out the speaker Dr C M. Duvall was then introduced by the commissioner of Pennsylvania. Mr Duvall held true to the oratorical style with which he is so gifted and the campaign form which made him so popular in the last convention. He paid tribute to abilities of black men and women and the lack of opportunities they are given for proper development as compared to men and women of the white race. His address was a special tribute to the mothers of the race who could, in spite of poverty and adverse conditions of home life, bring forth such splendid offspring—a racial type of men and women strong physically and of moral stamina sufficient to make them leaders such as those he saw around him on the platform and in the audience. Among other things, he laid special emphasis on the parent body drive. The speech was broken at intervals with splendid touches of humor which amused his hearers exceedingly. He especially caught the sunny side of the assembly when he made references to the traditional weakness of the Negro race in always preparings to die and go to the next world. They are so in love with death, said the speaker, that they carry their coffins around with them, tucked under their arms, that they might take a look at frequent intervals and pat them tenderly, with the thought, "I will be there soon." Thus reminding themselves of the approaching hour The address filled his hearers with a new spirit, and they responded with a salvo of cheers at the end. The meeting was closed with the usual ceremony by the Second Vice-President and acting Chaplain, Mr Albert Nellicliffe, and was only one of the treats Philadelphia has been receiving recently through Chapter 47. The chapter, free of everything that might hinder the spirit of its members and responsible to only the Parent Body and Executive Council for the conduct of its affairs, is operating along safe and sane lines well calculated to win the approval and support of the local U. N. I. A. membership. A constructive policy has been carried out from the start. One of the constructive measures is the establishment of an employment bureau, that the industrial and economic condition of its skilled artisans and mechanics may be enhanced. Along constructive lines the chapter is securing a building which will yield THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS HAITI, THOU LAND OF TOUSSAINT! HAST THOU COME TO THIS? URGES TEACHING OF NEGRO HISTORY IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS an annual profit to its treasury as well as serve for organization purposes, for weekly meetings offices and committee rooms. This will not only save an expenditure of several thousand dollars annually in rentals, but is a proposition which will pay for itself as it goes along. This will establish the chapter on a sound economic basis a thing that has not been emphasized in the past history of the local U. N. I. A. A constructive policy along the lines of health is being carried out in the juvenile department. Realizing that the children of today are the men and women of tomorrow—that the must be strong mentally and physically—the juveniles are receiving weekly health talks. Emphasis is placed upon early learning the health habit, as it is the basis of the individual's existence. The chapter is fast increasing in membership, and is weekly attracting larger and larger crowds to its meetings. By ROBERT L. POSTON The going out of office of ex-President Dartigenave and the inauguration on May 15 of Louis Borno as President of Haiti directs the attention of the world to a most sad state of affairs in the island "Republic" of Haiti. Though Borno is heralded in this country as the choice of his people, we have every reason to believe that it is just the opposite. Haiti has just given up Dartigenave after seven years as President—seven years in which nothing of consequence was done to help Haiti. Perhaps with the presence of the marines there nothing could have been done. But Dartigenave was loved by the Haitien because he opposed the presence of the American army of occupation. So great was the love of the Haitien for Dartigenave that had it not been for the treachery of Stephen Archer, President of Council, who, to advance his own candidacy for President, dissuaded Dartigenave from running for a second term then would have elected him a second term (provided, of course, that the American marines had no objection). Borno, the present President, is purely the hand-picked candidate of the army of occupation. It will be recalled that he was responsible for the tenety of 1915 which gave official sanction to the presence of an alien army in Haiti. An American officer, writing to the New York World, admits that Borno never would have elected had it not been for the presence there of the Marines. Yet the impression here is that he is the unanimous choice of the people. How untrue? The American Marines have not succeeded in degrading the Haitians to the extent of making them accept the occupation of their country by aliens as a blessing, consequently. Borno, who they think is largely responsible for their presence there is a stench in the nostrils of the liberty loving Haitiens. Borno has been imposed upon these people. Anything like a popular election in Haiti under present conditions is impossible. The last word in Haitien politics is American, and no person whom America does not want in office is placed there. America has invaded one of the proudest republics in the world and reduced its subjects to a state approaching that of the American Negro. America has never believed in Negro leadership. She has succeeded in reducing the American Negro to such a state of imbecility that he is willing to accept the white man as his leader (Note N. A. A. C. P., Morfield Storey, president, Joel Springarm, treasurer, Mary Ovington, chairman board of directors, all white), and she is practicing the same game on the poor Haitians, with a slight variation. Anybody with an ounce of brain knows that the real leader in Haiti today is John H. Russell, American High Commissioner to Haiti. Borno is just a sort of mechanical puppet to dance to the tune of the National City Bank of New York By F. L. LEVEL DETROIT. Mich.—For six days Hon. W. A. Wallace, our beloved Commissioner, labored in the Detroit Division in the interest of membership, finance and renewing interest in our great cause. By his earnest plea, backed by his wonderful personality and great enthusiasm, ably assisted by the president Alonzo D. Pettiford, he succeeded in packing the U. N. I. A. Hall, hardly standing roqm remaining. Thousands of dollars are being raised through the Membership Thrift Loan, which appeals to the business mind of our people out here. The High Commissioner, among the many good things he said for our benefit, remarked: "One of the best ways to hasten racial consciousness and pride is to supplement the day school work by teaching Negro history in our Sunday schools and classes in all of our auxiliaries, that our people might learn something about themselves." The membership is increasing rapidly and our restaurant is doing business, while the members are more determined than ever to follow the leader. SEVEN QUESTIONS TO THE NEGRO WHO SAYS. "IT CAN'T BE DONE" 1. Are you satisfied with conditions as they exist? 2. If you are not, have you done anything to help bring about a change? 3. Is it your own thought-out opinion that "It can't be done," or did you borrow it ready-made from someone else? 4. Do you honestly believe that the whites are going to accord us the equality of opportunity we all so much desire? 5. If you honestly so believe, can you oite an instance wherein we're been accorded any "rights and privileges" without first having to fight for them? 6. Do you think your race capable of self-government? 7. Which is the more manly thing to do—try hard and fail, or not try at all? Footnote—If you can't answer the preceding questions, come and join the U. N. I. A. We will answer them for you. ERNEST E. MAIR, Ex-Executive Sec. 8t. Louis Div. as it directs through its representative, Russell The Haitien people have nothing to do with their country but to work and to wait patiently for that sweet deliverance which comes through death. I was talking recently to a young Haitien named Petian whom I came across in a park reading Rene Marans a Bataoui Petian, who was once a custom clerk in Haiti, is now running an elevator in New York. We were talking about Haiti, and I said that it is unfortunate that the American Army or Occupation is there He smiled and said "Oh, well they will leave in a very short while, just as soon as we pay that debt." I thought of the Philippines and Hawaii, and then I said to him, as a citizen of this country who knows my countrymen, "But, My Dear Petian, they will not," and with beautiful surprise he said, "Surely they will not stay forever in our country." I wonder if there are other people so deluded about Haith as is Petian. If there are they should wake up America is in Haith for keeps. Not that it serves us so much financially as we wot like to impress upon the world, but it has its unmistakable military ada tage and it is the base we need. We admitted during the war that we seized Haith to keep other countries from doing the same. If Haith was worth our seizing for an advantage, it stands to reason that the reasons which led to our seizure of Haith a few years ago have not entirely disappeared nor will they as long as war is possible between ourselves and some other country which may have to pass by Haith to get to us. Coaling stations military bases, etc. are surely needed by larger countries and the little small islands lying near them may sometimes expect such little inconveniences (or no great consequence, of course.) of losing their national existence. Haithi is gone sacrificed upon that growing altar of imperialism which has possessed our country since we outgrew the Monroe Doctrine. Liberia is yet with us. But the length of time we may think of her as our reats upon her ability to pay back the five million dollars she has borrowed to rehabilitate herself. We trust that the Negro people of the world see our condition as it is. We are a helpless, disorganized class of people fighting among ourselves, while the more organized white races are taking advantage of the situation and using us to feather their own nests. There are some Negroes so foolish as to expect their deliverance through these same white people who are continually enslaving us. But it will never come in this way. Negroes must organize throughout the world and fight further encroachment upon their rights, or the Negroes like any other race of people so disorganized will die. The Universal Negro Improvement Association points the way. Be sensible, my colored brother, and join in. ship of our own leaders in carrying forward the work for African Redemption under the banner of the Red, Black and Green, with the Right Hon. Maruus Garvey as Field Marshal. Our Executive Secretary, Levi P. Lord, and his secretary, Mr. Bristol, are doing good work in keeping our finances straight. NEGRO MOB KILLS WHITE MOTORMAN RICHMOND, Va., June 11.—A motorman of the Virginia Railway & Power Co. was stabbed to death late today by a crowd of Negroes with whom he had had an argument on his car in South Richmond. When threatened by the Negroes, he leaped from his car into a passing automobile, the driver of which immediately sped away. The Negroes pursued the automobile, overcame it and stabbed the white man to death. Four arrests have been made. Public entitlement is intense. MARCUS GARVEY THE FORE- MOST NEGRO OF THE TIMES A Leader Without a Peer, With a Program for the Masses of His Race By H. VINTON PLUMMER Of course, anyone making the statement that Marcus Garvey is a born leader of men and stands pre-eminently as the greatest organizer of the Negro race will be immediately termed imane and placed in the category of being a follower of a Will-o-the-Wisp. However, the writer desires to note very focibly and seriously an exception to the ideas of the reader and appeal to the conscientiousness of the masses of the Negro people of the world, and if the reader will be true to himself as a Negro, fair to his innermost conscience if he be but human, loyal to his ancestry if he possesses Negro blood to the ith degree and a believer in right, justice and fair play to all races of mankind, then he can do naught but believe, as a sane being, nor can he conscientiously reject the program, the aims, the objects and purposes for which the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its noble leader the Hon Marcus Garvey, stand In making the assortion that Marcus Garvey is without a peer as a stimulator of human thought, an awakener of an otherwise dormant consciousness in his race, the same is based upon fact and not upon mere theory I beg the readers indulgence while I cite a record of history Hannibal, the great Carthaginian general, led his people against the aggressions and cupidity of the Roman Empire. The people of Carthage had formed a nation and were already masters of a State and country. Their aims and purposes were to preserve that which they already had Marcus Garvey's efforts are directed along the lines of awakening a race of people to a sense of duty to themselves and to their posterity, that of forming a nation Building up a country of their own and forming a general government of and for themselves Toussaint L'Ouverture, a great Negro, a born leader of men directed his energies toward liberating a certain group of the Negro family, and did it, but Garvey is not only directing his energies toward making conditions better or more bearable for the Negro in any one particular section of the world, where he may be domiciled, but wheresoever he may be, disperse around the globe. His pursuit of happiness and an equal opportunity to earn a livelihood us any other member of a group of people is what is aimed at; in short to better him industrially, politically religiously and socially. Frederick Douglass While Frederick Douglass, the "Grand Old Man," the Sage of the Potomac," the emancipator of his race in the United States of America did yoyeman service for his people, it did not affect over four millions of human souls at the time in which he lived while countless millions of the case were and are yet seeking the Light of Day, grovevling in the mire of prejudice, discrimination, abuse and inhuman treatment Garvey seeks, during this advanced stage of civilization to awaken in the hearts and minds of THE GREATEST BOOK On the Negro THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN THE NEGRO WORLD Days of It.

In our own time the reader might say that Booker Washington was and that DuBois, Moton and others are great leaders of the race. Grant that to be true in some respects, but they were and are only leaders in some respects. Leaders along some particular line of endeavor. But are they leaders of the race? Leaders of the masses of our people who are crying daily for liberation from the thraldom of race prejudice, discrimination, lynch law, etc.? Not only here in the United States of America is this cry going up asking as my lamented father and mother did during the dark days of slavery, "O Lord, How Long," but from every part of the world where the Negro is grouped in any appreciable number this same cry is going up, seeking liberation from the hands of greed and exploitation at the hands of alien races. Has any of these leaders a formation turned to a solution of the problem as a race outside of Marcus (carvey)? Each of these gentlemen, eminent ones, too, may be concientious in his sphere of activity as he sees it, but their glory and greatness are minimized, their activities aborted, their program circumcribed Marcus Garvey, the fearless, the peerless, the true leader of his race dares to say to the world, "I have a program for the emancipation of my race from the thraldom that now engulfs them the world over." and the vision I have has been the vision of the leaders of those races through the ages, who have written their names and history on the escutcheon of fame and have risen to national glory and independence It is now but necessary, since Marcus Garvey has done the rest, for the acknowledged leaders of the race in their respective localities and sections to but cast aside their petty feelings, jealousy, color prejudice, sectional antipathy and join hands with the many millions of their race who desire to do something for the present generation and their posterity in carrying out the aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association under Marcus Garvey, and as the day is sure to follow the night the Negroes of the entire world will have a government of their own, regardless of the fact whether they desire to become de facto residents or citizens of that government or not and conditions will greatly change in their favor in whatever section or locality they may reside. No racial movement of any kind known in history to the present time has in so short a time awakened the racial consciousness to duty as has the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association under the leadership of Marcus Garvey. The Third Annual International Negro Congress to be held in New York city August 1 to 31 this year is pregnant with great possibilities for the race and every district, locality, organization, society, lodge and church throughout the world has been extended a cordial invitation to have delegates present, and there can be no excuse whatever for those who are prone to criticise, prognosticate and prejudice the results of this program of the U N L A.

Greatest Living Negro Statesman of the Age By MILTON VERNON SEATTLE, Wash.—On Sunday, May 28, the Honorable Marcus Garvey arrived in the city of Seattle, via the Northern Pacific railway, and was given a rousing reception at the depot by the officers, Black Cross Nurses, Legions, Juveniles and members of Seattle Division No. 50, which had gathered there with a burning desire to get a glimpse of the greatest living Negro stateman. After resting up from his long trip from Ogden, Utah, to Seattle, a sight-seeing trip about the city was taken, visiting the various points of interest, and as the "golden sunset of the West" lent enchantment to the occasion, Mr Garvey behold our beautiful Lake Washington and Puget Sound, the beauties known only to the snow-capped Cascade range of mountains. On Monday evening, at the Oak Theatre, the large gathering received the grand message of hope and the inspiration that only our greatest of living black men could bring to Seattle Men such as have achieved greatness like Kelly Miller DuBols and Booker T Washington did not tower head and shoulders into the precepts of race consciousness as does the great, matchless leader and statesman, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, who could fire broadside after broadside of logic into the brains of thinking men and women of the Negro race, while other so-called leaders could only maneuver for a position. An awakening of the city of Seattle never before has been known whereby the strength of the New Negro and the 400,000,000 throughout the world could redeem Africa, until Mr Marcus Garvey came to this Pacific slope.

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.

JUNE 17. 1922 Hodge Kiruon Analyses Work of Young West Indian Author (Continued from page 2) to fundamental and general truths One of my first questions to Mr Rogers after the formal introduction was 'Who are your favorite authors?' "Shakespeare Schopenhauer and Leister F Ward in America," was the reply. I noted at once that he was interested in big and universal mind in men who plumb the depths of the fundamental truths and principles of life which are applicable to all its various phases and manifestations, and who whilst in the pursuit of certain specific objectives have a rewn the path with gems of rich thought Du Bois as a Leader At this time of turmoll and radicalism, which are always characteristic of any great intellectual awakening we are quite apt to misplace and misunderstand our men of ability who are doing something for the race. We quite often fail to appreciate the work that they are best fitted to do, and because of this we not only measure them by false or wrong standards, but ignor or oversight their prime worth and effectiveness as contributors to our racial emancipation and development Mr Du Bois, for instance has been generally criticised for his lack of ability as a race leader. As a matter of fact, Mr Du Bois has not the necessary qualifications to be a great or popular leader of the Negro at this stage and time. He is by nature not fitted to move great masses by the kind of oratory that would stir radical and rebellious feelings. He cannot or will not indulge in bitter investments and sweeping denouncements and generalizations which are so necessary at certain stages in the awakening of any people. In a word, he is not an agitator of a certain type. Even as an able writer, Dr Du Bois has his special place. His writings, specially in "Souls of Black Folks," savor of the postical Intellectually, they evoke serious meditative and contemplative thoughts—not necessarily revolutionary ones. He is a good writer, but makes no new intellectual conquests. He does not lead us into the realm of things radical and scientific. Marcus Garvey is a man with a personality and ability to stir masses of men. He is primarily an organizer and propagandist. He has in a comparatively short time awakened and infused into the Negro a spirit of race pride and racial idealism that was almost beyond realization. He has done wonders towards educating the Negro into a deep sense of racial manhood and initiative. But J A Rogers' sphere of activity is in another field. It is the intellectual supplement to the spiritual side of Garveyism as well as a scientific exposition of the doctrine of radicalism. His writings show not only a comprehensive grasp of the subjects which he approaches, but a remarkable ability in pressing into service an abundance of historical and scientific data in the interest of perhaps the most important aspect of the whole Negro problem. His appeal and message are made direct to the intellect. He deals in matters of science, history and anthropology. Upon matters which Garvey awakens feelings, Rogers supplies the requisite facts and knowledge. The wealth of information contained in "From 'Superman' to Man" and "As Nature Leads" is capable, if well assimilated, of rounding out well adjusted proportions the newly awakened race consciousness of the Negro which because of the lack of educational and scientific guidance occasionally runs to extremes. That Mr Rogers has successfully applied the comparative method with great results in the various branches of knowledge which he has brought to bear on his subjects will be attested to by anyone who has read his books. This method is considered a distinctive nineteenth century product, and is held up in great admiration by such able white thinkers as John Fiske and Josiah Royce. Rogers has effectively utilized the white man's discoveries, sciences, methods and principles of inquiry and learning in general to the great advantage of the Negro relative to his status in general in the human race. In performing this task he has furnished his race with the knowledge that is necessary in its struggle towards the attainment of racial manhood and individuality, as well as for its freedom from mental slavery to the white man's cultural and aesthetic ideals. Racialism is a decided evolutionary process in the life of the Negro in the western world, whether it is so recognized by some or not. Perhaps that is why Dean Pickens called Garviesiam a brutal reality. It is both natural and indispensable after the many long years of Caucasianization which the Negro has undergone. Racialism is the specific radicalism of the Negro. Important as are other forms of radicalism such as economic radicalism, racial radicalism is of equal importance, for what would it profit the Negro if he should gain the whole economic world and suffer the loss of his racial soul? For those who see the hand of God at work in mysterious ways shaping the course of events, or those who see the reign of law at work everywhere at all times, a Garvey, a Rogers and others had to appear. The one is an organizer of men and a propagandist; the other a careful scientific writer who has organised the amassed facts and results of modern thought and scientific research along with the views and records of the greatest intellects that the world has seen, in support of an unqualified disproval of the almost universal belief amongst white people that the Negro is a naturally inferior being. But whilst doing this Mr. Rogers has both directly and indirectly removed the supercilious white man from his self-assumed undine and disinfective now. ation of superman to the level of other mortals and races. From 'Superman' to Man' is the title of Mr Rogers first book. Its contents are a supposed conversation with a Pullman porter and a U B Senator. The Senator brings forward every imaginable argument to support his view that the Negro is inherently an inferior being and can never order any circumstances reach to a level of culture and refinement that the white races have attained. Dixon, the porter sweeps into oblivion every argument launched by the Senator. Where he lacks the necessary knowledge he brings the lending world thinkers to his side. Practically every department of learning is brought under a contribution in this imaginary conversation. It is impossible to convey in words the pleasure the 'legislation of thought' as Shaw would say that I have derived from this book (one must read it in order to understand and appreciate its worth "As Nature Leads" is the title of Mr Rogers' second book, "perpursuits to be an informal discussion of the reasons why Negro and Caucasian are mixing in spite of opposition." It is well night impossible to write anything in this article that would be pretentious of a review of this book. It is sufficient to say that it is an able and searching work. The ideas and thoughts contained in it are sure to put the reader a mind to a strong and vigorous intellectual exercise. It is not only what he actually proves that is interesting but the many suggestive ideas thrown out throughout the entire volume that are found to awaken a train of helpful and vitalizing thoughts. Even though Mr Rogers deals with deep subjects, they are easy to comprehend inasmuch as his method of presentation is conversational a similar method to that of Plato and George Berkeley the English metaphysician. The book now under discussion is constituted of a number of letters written by Hamilton, a widely read postmaster clerk-laborer, to Trent, a university student, on miscegation and other interesting topics Letter No. I is devoted to a very illuminating discussion on the attitude of the native African toward a union with Caucasians. The observations are taken from some of the best recognized of African travelers. Then there are critical analyses of Lester F Ward's principles concerning racial intermixture. To illustrate one point, Ward says "The women of any race will freely accept the men of a race which they regard as higher than their own." Without denying the truth of Ward's dictum, Rogers brings the following serious qualification to bear upon it. "The women of any social status regardless of race, will freely accept the men of a social status which they regard as higher than their own." After proving this point, he goes on to examine the soundness of other laws of the philosopher and sociologist, Ward. One of these is "That the women of any race will vehemently reject the men of a race which they regard as lower than their own." Mr Rogers without a doubt has shown the limitations of this principle. Other interesting sections of the book are. "The Esthetics of Color," "Predominant Negro Characteristics" etc from an advertisement in The Negro World some weeks ago I gleaned that the book "From Superman" to Man" has been entirely sold out, but I learned recently that a new edition will be out in the near future. "As Nature Leads" can be had from the author at 613 Lenox avenue It would indeed be hard to understand how any Negro added to the reading of good books or those who claim to have caught the new spirit could afford to miss reading and studying these books of J.

For information to start, write Secretary-General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. 56 West 185th Street, New York, U, S. A. By order President-Generals' Gov. Morrison Would Make A. and T. Glory of Black Race (Continued from page 2) He told the Negroes how generous the general assembly was in appropriating money for the protection of their welfare especially in health. He cited them to the fact that the State today is building at Sanatorium a place where Negro sufferers from tuberculosis may go and be treated. "We are teaching you" said he "how to guard your health. The State Department of Health is spending more money on the colored man's health than any other State is doing where the colored man lives. The department has a special corps of teachers going throughout the State teaching you how to protect your health." During the first half of his administration, Governor Morrison said, the State is spending more than a half-million dollars on Negro normal and technical schools, "and this governor of yours, who some tried to lead you to believe was your enemy, fought for it with all his heart." The State Department of Education has established a Negro training department, and through this branch of the department the Negro teacher is being equipped to disseminate more efficiently the seed of progress to his race. "I repeat," said he, "that North Carolina is doing more today than any other State to train Negro teachers in order that they may be able to teach better. And in addition to this, the towns, cities and counties are doing almost unreamed of things for your education. Take Charlotte, Greenboro, Winston-Salem and a few others, why they are spending more than $1,000,000 for school houses." The governor said the white people have not forgotten the words of great Aycock who twenty-five years ago said that the right to rule came to the white man from God, that the right would be taken away from them if the Negro is neglected. "We have become almost dangerously rich" continued the chief executive, "and it would destroy us if we didn't think to use it in helping the good things in life to progress. We realize we must help equip you to serve better than your daddies did. We all must move forward and the colored people must play their part." Governor Morrison then offered thanks to God Almighty for the Negro preacher and the teacher, these two classes are doing a great work in leading their race to the better things of life. "I want," declared the governor, "to give you a little advice. The continuation of progress in this State depends upon one vital thing Respect for law, and I would tell you this if you were as white as snow. Don't be satisfied merely to submit to law, that's not sufficient, revere the law and see its grandeur and sublimity through it is refuge and salvation. Of all the people on earth that should love the law it is the colored people. The criminal who defies the law and society, I mean the bootlegger the murderer and that class, is an enemy to progress, to happiness, and no good man should have anything but the sword of wrath for him. The Negro get's justice in the courts of North Carolina, said the speaker. Next to a pretty woman the governor said he would rather defend a Negro man because he had, as a lawyer been more successful. Because of the justice shown him the Negro should respect the sacredness of the law, revers it if you please and remember all the white Governor Morrison then uttered a message to all citizens of the State "We want," said he, "all citizens in the State to realize that we must dedicate ourselves to law and order and let the criminal know we are on a march to higher things and that the murderer and bootlegger and such criminals can't live in the State in case and contentment." He next plunged in on his famous agricultural campaign, telling the Negroes that they must fall in line and help solve the economic problems of the State. He said the people of North Carolina are good eaters but raise leas food per capita than any people in a civilized country "Why good gracious alive?" said he "he well as black man loves chicken he should be the greatest chicken raiser in the world." He told them he hoped to see an all-time garden on every farm in the State. And in order to provide sufficient milk for the little darkies every Negro family, especially on the farm, should have a cow; milk is necessary for health. He also warned the white people to beatir themselves and raise more foodstuffs. Following a burst of applause, the governor said "The government at Raleigh is in profound sympathy with every effort and move looking to the upbuilding and strengthening of your race. There is better concord, harmony and understanding between the white and black races in North Carolina than in any other State in the Union now let a keep that spirit in the heart of all the people." In conclusion the governor told the Negroes that they could get education hospitals, justice protection and most anything in the State but offices, and if any of them wanted to hold office then it would be better for them to move on immediately, but on the other hand, if they are satisfied with the State then climb aboard the great movement for the highest civilization ever worked out anywhere. Following his office-holding warning, the governor hurried on to praise the Negro for his part played in the recent world war, declaring that nowhere in America had he ever heard of a bolshevik Negro He referred to Robert Campbell, a member of the A. and T faculty, who was decorated by most every government in Europe for his intrepidity in the Argonne. Governor Morrison arrived on the city on No 21 at 12 noon. He was met by a body of Greenhorn a leading citizens, who escorted him to the O Henry where he dined.

Por todas partes notamos Ja evidencia de esta gran obra. El ha plantado una civiliza- cién sobre la superficie de un pals virgen; el ha edificado ciudades con vida propia, donde solamente se manifest6 una vez la existencia desolada del desierto. Doquiera fijemos nuestra residencia hemos de estar seguros de entrar en contacto con la civilizacién que el hombre blanco ha adquirido por medio de su labor, por medio de su sacrificio, por medio de su perseverancia, Cuando contemplamos la Anerica de hace pocos clentos de afos, vemos una vasta extencién de tierra cublerta de bosques y praderas sin desarrollo, ruda, con todos los elementos prédigos de la Naturaleza. De pronto vemos un barco cruzando el tempestuoso Atlantico. Arriba a un puerto, se ancla frente a la costa, sus pasajeros desem- barcan y se establecen en sitio apropiado. De ahf vemos el principio de una prepotsnte colonizacién. Empieza la lucha con todo género de dificultades; les vemos sufrir, les vemos morir, su numero disminuye y sinembargo no desmayan. Persisten, hasta llegar a aclimatarse gradualmente; poco a poco sé afianzan sobre los derechos de una raza aborigen y les vemos fortalecerse en su determinact6n hacia el colonizaje de un nuevo mundo. Afios pasan, décadas van y vienen, tres centenares de afios transcurren y hoy dia vemos una civilizacion en pié, recompensa de la ruda y pertinaz labor de aquellos grandes y nobles antecesores. ¢Tenemos nosotros derecho a reclamar parte del fruto de la labor realizada por aquellos primitivos colonizadores, theroes de la humanidad? Naturalmente que no. Los hombres y mujeres que colocaron la fundacién de la nacionalidad, progreso y civilizacién en America no fueron nuestros antepasados; ellos fueron los antepasados de otra raza. Por tal razén el hombre blanco manifiesta que America es exclusivamente un pafs para su propia raza; por tal raz6n se enorgullese en el desarrollo de su rie nacién, pafs por el cual ha sufrido en su construccién, para su propia conveniencia.

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 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.

WILSON CAYO MAMBI, Cuba.—"Oh! it was a splendid meeting, wasn't it?" "Splendid." That was the opinion of all who went to the mass meeting in the Cayo Mambi Liberty Hall, May 21, 1922. Mr. R. A. Bennett, president of the local division of the U. N. L. A., had previously announced a special meeting on the date above-mentioned when "Emancipation" would be the topic of the hour. It was a timely thought. May 20 being the anniversary of Cuba's independence would summon happy associations of the past so dear to the heart of the Cubana, and in which others might together join. At 7.20 p.m. the meeting began with the opening ode of the association, which the increasingly large assembly sang lustily. Mr. T. N. Campbell, who fills the dual position of executive secretary and acting chaplain, carried through the preliminaries such as the invocation and the reading of the scripture lessons. Then the president spoke as follows: The President Speaks "Officers, Members, Ladies and Gentlemen:—We are aware of the circumstances which have brought us here this evening. We gather for the purpose of studying the Negro problem; to listen to the ideas of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and to thank God for His goodness to all mankind who in His infinite mercy Wishing you every success in your many undertakings, I remain. Yours respectfully, Kent, Ohio, June 6, 1952 Sire:—Please find enclosed order for $5 for "African Redemption Fund." Only wish I was able to give more. May God bless this noble work and this organization which is doing so much for our race, scattered throughout the world. Fraternally, yours I.D. Bocas del Toro, Panama, June 14, 1952 Gentleman: It is my anxious desire to see the Negro race have a government of our own. I am enclosing herewith $5 for the redemption of our Motherland, and shall do all in my power to help this great cause advance. You're for success.

We have but yesterday celebrated the anniversary of the Cuban national holiday in commemoration of the event of their emancipation. According to our knowledge of modern history we are aware of the sacrifices made by the progenitors of this country in laying the foundation of a democratic republic which eventually gave rise to a people so that today they breathe an atmosphere of freedom. Prior to the time of the restoration of the Cuban commonwealth the people here were subjected to despotic rulership, but through the genius of Antonio Maceo, the Cuban Negro martyr, the Cuban people, with the aid of America and Great Britain, wrested from the hands of the oppression, the country for which they paid so costly a price. "You will understand that those young men were students of medicine, and the oldest of them was but eighteen years old. Among them was the son of a wealthy merchant who promised to have given a great amount of money for the life of his son, but was bluntly turned down. It was claimed that those boys while walking by the tomb of a Spanish soldier, said something unpleasant about the deceased, which was heard by a Spanish guard. They were arrested, accused, condemned, and shot to death early one morning in front of their parents, in spite of the protest of the people. Such was the autocracy of the former government. Should you go to the Colon cemetery in the city of Havana, the seventh best in the world, you will see a beautiful vault made of marble. Under that vault lay the bones of those innocent students. On top is a unique little structure. It is the statue of an angel with an open book in hand with the inscription, "Innocent," thus indicating the innocence of the victim. Now we will speak of "Democracy." In democracy the people rule. In Havana there is not much of color or creed. That is repugnant to the Cubans. The Constitution is against class distinctions. In the military department all beds are together—the bed for the white, Cuban alongside that of the Negro. This republic is one of the most democratic in the Western Hemisphere. We should endeavor to form an empire for ourselves. The Cubans ejected the Spaniards from Cuba; so it is all Negroes the world over should combine together for the purpose of forming for themselves a great empire on the continent of Africa. We have a great lesson — the Spanish Occupation in Riff's Morroco. And now the Spaniards are being elected from Morroco. There the Moors are fighting for their freedom. Though the captives, buried with their heads above the ground, they are there praying for the emancipation of their country until they breathe the last. And it is necessary for us as Negroes the world over to fight for ourselves. We are not teaching you to fight against our people. Get our people together. Let us build on our failures. We will be recognized. If anyone had told me that I would be permitted to visit President Menocal's home and shake hands with him, I would say, 'No.' But, because we in Havana looked forward, we had to be recognized. You must not say that because that man is white and you are black you cannot achieve. We must build a foundation for ourselves. We go here and we are employed by that man, and we say we can't be recognized. Let us build for ourselves that our boys will confront the offices of allen races and thank us in the years to come that we had so trained them for such service. (Refers to the presence of a high Cuban official.) We are glad to have the Fenieni in our midst. The gentleman cares for us. We must care for ourselves. As long as we show ourselves men and women we shall be considered and protected. I want you to think seriously. Think like other men. The sons of other men were pioneers, and we, the sons of other men, can lay such a foundation which will be seen in the annals of time. I won't take up your time. There will be other speakers who will speak on the same subject. We have given you enough proof that will help you to consider the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In New York they are preaching unity and CONVENTION BANNERS AND FLAGS FOR 1922 Strict uniformity must be observed in the manufacture of banners and flags of the Association. All orders for banners for the Convention must be made at once through the High Commissioner-General's Department. Banners for Divisions, $25, up; Black Cross Banners, from $15.00 up, in a beautiful design. Flags representing the colors in cotton, silk and bunting made to order. Price according to size and quality. Fringed U. N. I. A. flags also can be supplied mounted on poles, complete. Rosettes also for the Convention and for general demonstration can be supplied from the Repository, WOMEN'S INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION In Art Needle Work; Specimens in Literature; Music, Crochet; Embroidery; Dressmaking; Millinery; Hand-Paintings; Engravings, and all kinds of fancy work will again be exhibited, this time in Liberty Hall, for the convenience of all. In each Division we are making an appeal to the ladies of the Association to send in a parcel for exhibition for the coming Convention. Please communicate with the HIGH COMMISSIONER-GENERAL, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th St., N. Y. City. WOMEN'S DAY and WOMEN'S NIGHT will again be a special feature of the next Convention. PRINTING OF EVERY DESCRIPTION THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION WHENEVER YOU HAVE PRINTING TO BE DCNE FROM A CIRCULAR TO A BOOK, SEND YOUR ORDERS TO All Divisions Should Have Their Work Done by Our Own Plant UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION No member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be considered financial who has not paid the Annual Assessment Tax. Death grants will only be paid on account of members who have paid the Assessment Tax. BY ORDER democracy, and here we are doing the same thing. When Christ was here on earth His disciples preached His doctrine, and here we are preaching Garveyism. I appeal to you—to improve the race you have to improve yourselves. We must respect our men and respect our women. Unless we comply with such things we will n vr succeed. I thank you for your presence and the manner in which you conduct yourselves. I feel you will go away satisfied. I again thank you. (Loud applause.) Ex-President of Macane Division Mr. R. Webley, ex-president of the Macane Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L., was the next speaker. He drew a comparison between the Spanish occupation in Jamaica and in Cuba, and showed the sameness in tryanny and oppression. Negroes should rise as one and throw off oppression. They retard their own progress so long as they identify themselves with other nations. They should have a government of their own, and to that end the Universal Negro Improvement Association is striving. Mr. R. Osbourne, chairman of the Advisory Board, made it clear that every Negro was expected to play well his part in this age of reconstruction. We must open wider our eyes, concentrate our thoughts and put our efforts to make of Africa a great empire. "This is a debt which is owed to posterity." Mr. Charles Osbourne, General Secretary, gave a very concise speech. He read from his notes many recorded facts about the gaining of Cuba's independence. The Executive Secretary then spoke. He made a strong appeal for an increase of membership—to the Division particularly, and to the Association generally. He invited those who were active members of other Divisions, and who were now living in Cayo Mambl, but did not join the Division of the place they were living. He also called on those who had never been anything but ordinary members of the Association. The speaker commented on the good behavior, and encouraged a conventance. Mr. Blanco Henlon was interpreter to the Cubana. He is a fluent speaker of the Spanish language, and the Cayo Mambl U. N. L. A. is happy in having his services. The singing was good throughout. Solice and anthems interspersed the addresses of the different speakers. The dust sung by Mrs. L. Phillips and Mr. Cumberbash was very effective. Mr. E. Hunt made a hit in his baritone solo, "Stand Up for Jesus," and Miss M. Sinclair showed up a good contralto. The Cayo Mambl Division is going forward. On it goes; no lagging with it, for it has taken too great a momentum. PLAN EXHIBITION BY NEGRO ARTISTS The second annual exhibition of arts and crafts by Negroes will open at the New York Public Library, 1858th street, near Lenox avenue, on August 1, continuing for two months. The exhibition will be sponsored by a committee of men and women interested in Negro artists, especially those whose work has not received any public recognition. Those who have works for exhibition are invited to send them to the New York Public Library, 103 West 1858th street. The committee guarantees their care and return in the same condition received. A committee, under the leadership of Mrs. A. dee Smith, announces a card party and dance for Monday evening, June 19, at the Alpha Phi - Cultural Club, 126 West 1858th street for the purpose of raising funds for the exhibition.
