No. 19 Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The hour has come for us to take universal action in bringing about changed conditions favorable to this race of ours. Hundreds of years have found us unprepared, unorganized, uncared for, and now we are facing the danger period of our existence. We are at the point where we must either do for ourselves or admit of defeat. Open Arms to All The Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes its duty to the four hundred million members of the race. For that reason, therefore, we are now calling our third annual international convention of the Negro peoples of the world to assemble in New York City, N. Y., United States of America, from the 1st to the 31st of August, inclusive, of the present year. We want every Negro community in the world to send at least two, or one, delegates to this convention. We want every church, every lodge, fraternal organization, club and all organized movements of the race to send representatives to this convention, so that with a congregation of the most representative members of our race from all parts of the world we will be able in the time allotted to us within the month of August to devise ways and means by which we shall readjust our racial affairs and improve our economic, political, religious, social and other conditions. We want every professional Negro, whether he be lawyer, doctor, minister of the Gospel, or what not, to be present at this forthcoming convention. There will be absolutely no excuse for any one who claims to have the interest of the race at heart absenting himself or herself from this great convention. The chance or opportunity will be given to every one to say and do something in the interest of the race during this convention. The ordinary people of each community can help in making this convention a success by requesting their most representative men to attend, so that they may receive the correct information bearing on this great world movement. So many of our leading AFRICA AND PRESIDENT GENERAL ASSOCIATION ISSUES OFFICE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF N ALL, EXCEPT TRACTORS, INVITED TO TAKE PART IN GREAT CONCLAVE WRITES FROM AMOUS STATE OF TEXAS BIGGEST GATHERING OF THE RACE SINCE THE DAYS OF ETHIOPIA'S GLORY ALL LOYAL NEGROES MUST SUPPORT PROGRAMME men have claimed that they do not know what this great organization stands for. The opportunity is now presented to each and every one to be well informed; therefore, after the 31st of August no Negro will be able to excuse himself for not being a member and supporter of the greatest Negro movement started within the last five hundred years, by saying that he does not know anything about it. The Church Is Asked The opportunity and chance is given to everybody who is loyal to the race to be present when the convention convenes on the 1st of August. We have so much as a race to talk about, to regulate and to improve. We want, therefore, the help and co-operation of every one to bring about the adjustment necessary. Let every one who reads this message take it as an open invitation to attend the forthcoming convention. In that there are four hundred millions of us in the world, and our interests are in common, it is but right that the opportunity should be given to each and every one who can make it possible to be at the convention. The churches should arrange to send their pastors, clubs and fraternities should arrange to elect their most representative leaders and all communities should elect and send their most representative citizens to this convention. We want everybody to be satisfied. We have excluded no one who is really interested in the development of the Negro race from this convention except those who have proved themselves traitors to the race. Globe Lead to LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, for Years, Meet Me at LIBERTY HALL. Be 1st. Meet Me at the 71st REGIMENT ARMOR the Greatest Orator of the Race Speak for Life AL OF UNIVERSAL CAL CALL FOR THIRD GRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD organizations and movements that are truly interested in the progress of the race. All deputies and delegates to the convention must be in New York by the 31st of July, so as to be present at the grand opening on the morning of the 1st of August. It is expected that over 150,000 delegates and members will assemble for the demonstration on August 1st. It will be an education in itself to see and be a part of this great convention. The Greatest of Negro Conventions Representative men will be coming from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, South and Central America, the West Indies, Canada and the United States. We all should join, therefore, to make this, the greatest of Negro conventions, the success it ought to be. Those of you who cannot attend as delegates should send in your financial support to enable us to put over the big program that is outlined. Important commissions will be sent from the convention to visit the different governments of Europe, and especially the League of Nations, to make representations in the interest of the race. Various committees will be put to work and sent to different parts of the world so as to carry out the intention of the convention. This will mean the expenditure of thousands of dollars on the part of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Therefore, all Negroes are asked to contribute liberally, so that the organization can be in a position to meet the many financial demands that will be made. You can contribute $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 to the Convention Fund for 1922. Send whatsoever help you can, addressed to the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant.

Durkee's Charge to Graduates In conferring the degrees on the members of the graduating class of 1923, President Durkee sald: “One sen- tence from the great address of Dr. Blosson may well be chosen as your ‘lass motto, It 1s nobler to be moved ‘by @ pull than @ push.’ The pull of the Invisible 19 the greatest attraction known to science oF to religion, Blessed are those who have made thelr con- nections and turned on the power.

MOORFIELD STOREY CHARGES HARVARD WITH NEGRO PREJUDICE President of Bar Association Puts Blame Up to President Lowell——Wm. H. Ferris, Harvard Alumnus, Comments on Discrimination Charge Some Harvard men are charging that the color line is being drawn by the authorities at Harvard University against Negro students. A petition, drafted by a committee of seven Harvard graduates, which is being sent to Harvard alumni all over the United States, flatly assures that the university, which before the Civil War mothered most of the famous champions of equal rights for Negroes and white men, is conducting a "Jim Crow policy" in order to cater to students from the Southern States. The committee which is asking Harvard men to sign the petition is healed by the Rev. Dr William Channing Gannett of Rochester, N. Y., Unitarian clergyman and author A member of the class of 1860. Dr Gannett matriculated at Harvard in the very heat of the Abolitionist movement Another member of the committee is Moorfield Story, 66, of Boston who is a private secretary to Charles Sumner just after the Civil War and who has been a president of the Massachusetts Bar Association and a former overseer of Harvard He is president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Other members of the committee are Charles C Burlingham, 79 of New York, international known as an authority on maritime law and formerly president of the Board of Education Alfred Jaretaki 81, John Reynolds 07 Edward Eyre Hunt, 10, who was in charge of American relief work in Antwerp during the war, now secretary of the President's Conference on unemployment, and Robert C Benchley 12 the writer. Alumni to whom the memorial was sent were requested to hold it in confidence, as the committee hoped to obtain favorable action from the corporation, the governing body of Harvard without publicity. When a copy of the memorial reach the World and Mr Benchley, secretary of the committee, was asked to comment on the movement, he replied. "I am very sorry the memorial has become public. We had hoped to work confidentially among Harvard graduates, particularly among the older men, in whom the Civil War tradition still lives, and to have the ruling changed without publicity." The Committee's Letter Other members of the committee had nothing to add to this, but it was learned that President A Lawrence Lowell of Harvard is held responsible for the ruling which prevents Negro students from obtaining rooms in the freshmen dormitories. It was said that, so far as is known, the ruling was not adopted by the corporation in meeting or even brought before it for consideration. The committee's letter to the president and fellows of Harvard University says: "We have learned with surprise that the long tradition of the college as regards Negroes has been broken and a color line drawn in the freshmen dormitories. The exclusion policy has never been publicly announced, so far as we know, and has only lately become known. "It is now stated that this policy was adopted when the dormitories were opened a few years ago, that during the war it lapsed and that through advertisement two Negroes—Jourdain, 21, and Ghee, 22—roomed in the freshmen halls. They suffered no difficulties as a result of their presence there. Call Reason Insufficient "Last summer Cecil Blue and William J Knox, Jr., were excluded from the freshmen dormitories because they were Negroes. A room in Standish Hall was assigned to Knox in May and after attending examinations in June he received a telegram asking him to return his resignation card and, a week later, a letter saying that the halls were full. When he went to Cambridge Dean Chase told him that it was the policy of the college not to admit Negroes to the freshmen dormitories. "So far as we can learn, the policy of exclusion is based on the fact that residence in freshmen halls is now compulsory and the opinion that as men from the South and Southwest come to Harvard in considerable numbers they should not be compelled to room or eat with colored men. "We respectfully submit that these are not sufficient reasons for abandoning the long and honorable tradition of Harvard College. Oppose Surrender of Ideals "In the past, Southerners coming to Harvard have accepted Northern customs. They have eaten in Memorial Hall where Negroes also ate, although at other tables, and have roomed in dormitories where Negroes also roomed, although in separate rooms, avoiding an intimacy distasteful to them but conforming to the college customs, just as they had to conform to them in the college lecture rooms and the Harvard Union, as well as on trains, in trolley cars and in restaurants. "We believe that the university owes the Southern man the best possible opportunity for education, but we do not owe him the surrender of our Northern ideas of democracy and our Harvard ideals of justice. We do not believe that the Southerners who come to Cambridge for their education expect Harvard to give up her traditions. "We are informed that last autumn a Negro member of the freshman cross-country team was admitted after discussions to the training table, although excluded from the hall; also that a Negro, Charles J. Houston, sits at staff conferences and luncheons as a member of the editorial board of the Harvard Law Review, with Southern-era. Better Accept Loss If however, we are mistaken in this impression and if the continuance of the traditional policy means the loss to Harvard of Southerners, many or few, of intense race-consciousness, we believe that ideas of part of a Harvard education and that the college should accept that loss rather than surrender its standards. Its founders explicitly contemplated the inclusion of colored, I.e. Indian, students, in its classes and buildings. The Charter of 1650, still in force, refers to that intention. The present policy of exclusion means that the college is taking sides with those who would increase rather than lessen the burdens of the colored race. It is a Jim Crow policy. The alma mater of Channing, of John Quinny Adams, of Sumner and of Robert Gould Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry should not abandon the tradition of Harvard liberalism, tolerance and justice. "For these reasons we feel it our right and duty as Harvard graduates to request the President and Fellows to abandon the policy of exclusion and to return to the traditional Harvard policy of no discrimination on account of color or race." The Negro student Jourdain, mentioned in the memorial is not Gourdain the famous Negro athlete member of the Harvard track team who won the intercollegiate broad jump. He is E B Jourdain, now a student in the Graduate School of Business Administration. He roomed last year in Wold Hall, in which William J Knox Jr. also roomed Cecil A Blue, as a freshman roomed at No 46 Dana street, Cambridge, and E. P Ghee, who was graduated this year, roomed in Claverly Hall. President Lowell, the members of the corporation and Board of Overseers, together with Dean Chester Noyes Greenough and Assistant Dean Philip Fulton Chase, were asked by The World yesterday to state their views on the discrimination alleged in the memorial LOWELL HINTED HARVARD BOSTON. June 15—Resentment at the action of the Harvard authorities for their exclusion of colored men from the freshman dormitories has been simmering, a well-informed Harvard graduate told The World correspondent this evening. The exclusion rule was established by President Lowell when the dormitories were first opened about ten years ago, but it was enforced discreetly and did not become known until last autumn. The Negro students, Knox and Ghee, who were told last summer that they could not room in the same buildings with the white students, took their case to Negro graduates in Boston, and a committee was appointed to interview President Lowell soon after the opening of the academic year. President Lowell told the Negro students that Harvard, as a national university drawing men from the South and Southwest in considerable numbers, could not compel Southerners to room or eat with colored people. Since residence in the freshman dormitories was compulsory, the Negroes would have to be excluded. The Negro graduates attempted to argue the question, whereupon the President declared—and this he repeated in a later letter to interested graduates—that "if Harvard were faced by the alternative of either admitting Negroes to the freshman halls where the white students are compelled to go or of excluding Negroes altogether, it might be compelled, like other colleges, to adopt the other alternative."—The New York World.

FILIPINOS ASK HARDING PORTUGAL INDIE LANDING WASHINGTON, June 16. — Immediate and absolute independence for the Philippines was asked in a long memorial presented to President Harding today at the White House by the parliamentary mission of the Philippine Legislature on the ground that "the Philippine people have fulfilled their part in the covenant with America." The delegation, composed of sixteen leading legislators and educators of the island, was headed by Manual L. Quesson, President of the Senate, and Sergio Osmena, Speaker of the House of Representatives. The memorial, which resolves the complete history of the American occupation of the islands, calls attention to the recent granting of "freedom and equality" to Ireland and Egypt by Great Britain. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922 OFFICIAL OF INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. LAUDS GARVEY MOVEMENT Says Negroes Are Out to Have Country of Their Own Cites Phenomenal Progress of Japanese-Gives Encouragement to African Idea U. S. Commander on Rhine Says Soldiers of Lower Plane Should Not Be Used BERLIN, June 16 (Associated Press).—The presence of troops of "lower civilization" under the conditions of military occupation is undesirable, not only in the Rhineland but anywhere, is the opinion of Major General Henry T Allen, Commander-in-Chief of the American Army of Occupation, as expressed by him today to American press representatives. He was interviewed regarding colored troop units on the Rhine. General Allen will return to Coblana tonight General Allen said, in his connection with the Rhineland High Commission, he had conferred with Germans in regard to the presence of black troops in Germany, first with the clergy, then with university professors and later with the newspaper man, and it was emphasized that it would be better if these units were replaced. He said, however, most of the black units already had departed. The Senegalese are gone, and only a part of the Madagascar troops remain. There are about 15,000 North African troops still on the Rhine, among whom a number of what are known as "black soldiers" are enrolled. None of these was under his command, he added. General Allen expressed the hope that shortly no troops at all would be required on the Rhine. He declared the occupation of the Rhur was "too terrible to think of," and a move that nobody wants "Even the French do not want to occupy the Rhur, except in case of the direct necessity," he said. He intimated that the danger of disorder in case of such occupation was too great for it to be lightly contemplated. As regards the withdrawal of the American troops, General Allen said he had no idea how long the contingents would remain. For the present the American soldier was satisfied, and it had become a threat in connection with penalties to say "you go home on the next boat." General Allen made it clear that though French troops were being brought in, his sector would continue to be distinctly American, and there would be no change in policy there. The American provost courts will govern and the American administration will be generally maintained. Commenting on lack of friction in the American sector, he said the Americans went on the principle of using as little enforced legislation as necessary. It was his opinion that the continued presence of Americans on the Coblens sector would be of great value, as otherwise friction would be more likely Enrebrhetainte will continue in American hands. According to General Allen there is no intention to destroy the fortress. It has no military value and is now a storehouse. OFFICIAL OF INTE HARVEST GA Says Negroes Are Out to Hai Cites Phenomenal Progr Encouragement By A. SEWELL CHICAGO, Ill. June 11—I am employed in a factory in this city where work thousands of men, mostly foreigners, some that have been here for many years, others recently came some that can speak the English language very well while others cannot speak our language at all, and some of these people seem to be the very raKings of their country, and in many respects far below the rating of Negroes in every sense, but mark you, they fail not to show by words and actions that the Negro is inferior to them. I mention this simply to show that not only the American white man throws on the Negro a stigma, but even foreigners, and it is not yet as tense as it will be in the next few years to come. Mr. Garvey's plans are indorsed by one of the high officials of the company for which I work—The International Harvester Co. one of the largest concerns in the world. A few days ago while talking to this official I asked him he had ever read a colored paper. He thought a few seconds and then replied, "I think not." Having a copy of the World with me of the third issue, I said to him here is a copy of one of the leading colored papers of this country, and I want you to read especially the letter on the front page. He accepted the paper and busied himself immediately at reading the article of Mr. Garvey, and when he finished he raised his eyes with seemingly delightful surprise and said, "This man Garvey seems to be a sensible man and I think he has the right idea about his people." He said further that he had always believed that the colored people should have a country of their own, as he thought or believed them to be as much or more capable of self-government than the Jama. In fact CRITIC SAYS U. N. I. A. IS BREEDING DISCONTENT! "Yes!" Retorts Tilford, and in Masterly Article Points Out That Whole Future of Progress Is Weaved on the Thread of Dissatisfaction! CHICAGO, Ill., June 12, 1932.—The writer has before him a letter from a very prominent man who differs with the U. N. I. A., its objects, aims and methods, and says, among other things, that The Negro World and the U. N. I. A. mass meetings are creating discontent among our people and making many of them very unhappy. Unlike many other accusations against the Garvey movement, the writer must admit that this is one that the Garveyites must plead guilty to. Through the agitation and mass meetings the U N I A. has and is arousing Negroes all over the world out of a state of lethargy, stupor and indifference with regard to their racial security and welfare, their rights as human beings, and to their sense of duty they owe themselves, their families and their posterity. As a result of this agitation and propaganda the U N I A. has caused millions of Negroes to realize the danger of their present condition in human society, because of their disorganized state that renders them utterly incapable of protecting themselves, physically and financially. And Negroes throughout the world, realizing this weakness and fully knowing the danger of such a condition in a material world peopled with selfish, arrogant and greed, inhabitants are very much discontented and have started out in quest of a remedy in order that they may set their houses in order The history of the world has taught us that the human family has advanced and progressed just in proportion as it has become discontented with worn conditions and things. One of the greatest setbacks to Negro progress during the past fifty years has been the different philosophies of contentment that have been thrust upon us by pulpit orators, politicians, professional leaders. He has been a chloroformed into such a state of contentment that it has cost the U. N. I. A. many thousands of dollars and has been a monstrous task for the organization to arouse intelligent discontent in the minds of suffering Negroes and to bring them out from the psychological negation into which they were plunged by the expounders of these various philosophies of contentment, satisfaction and resignation. Langer Journalists and Periodicals It is seldom that you pick up such newspapers as the Chicago Defender, the Crisis, the Chicago Whip, the Indianapolis Freeman or any Negro paper of any standing but what you read of the most hideous crimes and indecencies perpetrated upon the race. You no doubt have read these stories INTERNATIONAL MER CO. LAUDS HARVEY MOVEMENT Save Country of Their Own— Press of Japanese—Gives to African Idea he said, your people are far more intelligent than the Japs, and see what they have done in recent years by cooperating together just as this man Garvey is trying to get the colored people to do. He said that he hoped the colored people would become able to have and own their own country, for he thought they would make faster developments along educational, economic, political and industrial lines than they can have under their present status, which seems to be getting worse. Now in justice to this gentleman, I wish to say that he is in no sense partial to our people in the factory and he was the first official to give work to men as mechanics some years ago, but he is only one man with such a big and broad heart, while there are to every one like himself thousands who are the race's staunch enemies, and right have lies the impossibility of the Negro working out his destiny here. CLAUDE McKAY RESIGNS FROM LIBERATOR Owing to a disagreement with Michael Gold, Claude McKay, the Jamaican poet, has reigned as executive editor of The Liberator Magazine. At The Liberator office it was said that a controversy over an article McKay published in the June Liberator. The article, "Out of Texas," was written by a white woman in Texas and it showed that the recent lynching of a Negro boy was instigated by the "sequencing" of the boy's white paramount. This article Mr. Gold, also executive editor, objected to, and he is also reported as having said that McKay was "negroising" the Liberator to the detention of the white radicals to whose interest it is defended. McKay, however, remains as a contributing editor of the magazine. THE NEGRO NEEDS LARGER IMAGINATION, SAYS SOCIOLOGIST "Stimulation of the Imagination Is the Most Vital Need of the Negro," Writes A. H. Maloney-Makes Plea for Higher Range of Negro Leadership for years and years, telling you in bold type what is happening to the Negro, but there does not seem to be enough intelligence directing these many Negro papers (to not only tell you what is happening to you) but to also tell you how to remedy this condition. You will look and look in vain for that remedy until you reach the columns of The Negro World, and it is there you find the remedy, unassailable, undeniable and unquestionable—safe from intelligent retaliation. And it is because of this fact that Negroes throughout the world are flocking to the banner of the Red, Black and Green, because under these colors, backed by the U N. I. A., lies the remedy for that which they have so long sought and the goal on to which their intelligent discontentment will lead them. If the Darwinian theory is correct, it was intelligent discontentment that brought the first anthropoid down from the limb of a tree and stood him up on his hind legs and evolved the ape into the walking man, and freed the forelegs that developed into hands and arms that has built up modern civilization. It was intelligent discontentment that brought the cave dwellers from their huts, and through the process of evolution and development that has given the human family the palaces and mansions that are now their abode. It was intelligent discontentment that abolished absolute monarchies. By A. M. MALONEY In common sense as in geometry two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Under the civilization of the day two husbands for one wife or two wives for one husband cannot live together under the same roof. Such an arrangement would not last for twenty-four hours. And when the members of the Ku Klux Klan say we do not have any room here for two masters they are voicing the sentiment of fully 88 per cent. of the citizenry of the United States, a sentiment which it is within their power to enforce, physically, if the matter were to come to a definite showdown. When it is seen that that sort of power is the only determinant of objective "rightness" one can realize the significance of that sentiment. Of a piece with the above is the following axiom: Two types of people, of strong ethnic contrasts, cannot coexist on identical territory and perpetuate themselves as mutually exclusive and self-sufficient units. History furnishes not a single exception to this. The thing is contrary to every canon of human judgment. By the operation of the physical law of attraction or repulsion there will inevitably be conflicts and clashes, physical and spiritual, on the one hand; and the merging of types, physical and spiritual, on the imaginary lines describing "no man's land," on the other hand. A man calls his labor power for wages. He renders his service, receives his pay, and what? Does that settle the matter and close the temporary relationship? That would be so if labor power represented nothing but the burning up of so much muscular energy which would be compensated for by his wage, a commodity easily convertible into muscular energy again. But with the product of brain and muscle there goes a spark of personality. This is a fact which is not infrequently overlooked simply because it is psychological. But failure to take due cognizance of it, whether by inadvertence or intent, has caused the strangulation of many a science. If it were possible for a man to leave his personality at home, to strip himself of his animal and his moral nature, when he went out into the field to work, into another's home to serve, into the mart to ply his trade—if it were possible to practice fission of the personality, at will, then it might be possible to conceive of two distinct races co-existing on the same ground without reacting, the one upon the other. But time and biology can be raised upon to solve the problem of the contact of physiological contracts by reducing the meter to the dead level of sameness. Nevertheless, for all Negroes to tolerate an issue like this would be a selfish thing. As we pointed out last week, it would represent human conduct on the lowest plane. But what other outlet has he? As a group in the United States the Negro is reconstituting the psychoses of America on a small scale. America "takes the cake" as the mostignant of all the nations, and the Negro in America, born or destined, is all of groups of Negroes the most susceptible. America is "all putted out" over mean-science of her nation, self-simulation, and the Negro in America seems to care not "to dismay" about any other group of Negroes where, such as in international affairs the possible and indirect of America.

It was intelligent discontentment that brought the human family from the stage coach era to the modern automobile and flying machine. It was intelligent discontentment that wrested the Colonies from under the heel of the British empire and gave the world these United States. It was intelligent discontentment that freed four hundred million Negro slaves in this country, given expression through the Abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, old John Brown, Fred Douglass and Negro soldiers. It was intelligent discontentment that gave to the United States one of its outstanding characters in the person of Frederick Douglas when he became discontented of being in bandages and escaped from slavery and rose to heights of fame and respect. It was intelligent discontentment that gave to the Negro race throughout the world the greatest leader and statesman of all times in the person of Marcus Garvey. It is intelligent discontentment given expression through the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L., that will establish Negro governments on the continent of Africa, a powerful army and navy, Negro statesmen and diplomats, Negro commerce and industry, Negro scientists and artisans, Negro educators and thinkers, Negro states, villages and cities, Negro homes and firesides, Negro steamship lines and merchant marines. It will be courage, ability and persistency, goaded on by intelligent discontentment that will redeem the motherland, Africa, and give to the Negro throughout the world a freedom that he has not known since the Jevastanation of the thriving cities of his ancestors in the valley of the nile. We are all traveling to one destination, seeking comfort, happiness and security, and intelligent discontentment is the motor power that drives us on to achievement and progress. S LARGER SAYS SOCIOLOGIST tion Is the Most Vital Need H. Maloney—Makes Plea of Negro Leadership is needed and courted so in racial affairs the contribution which the Negro in America is competent to make is the most needed. The persistent self-isolation of America from world affairs has its counterpart in the indifference of Negroes in America for the welfare of their fellows everywhere. Racial intermixture does not engender race consciousness; it tends to negative it. Spiritually it leads to the drying up of the milk of group consciousness in the breast of the race and the disintegration of its ideals. If it were not a fact that society dumps all the products of intermixture upon the Negro, affairs would be even worse than they are with us today. The mixed people of Jamaica are more bitter against the full-blooded Negroes than are the whites. The same thing would have been true here were it not for the fact that social traditions consign all mixed persons to the Ne- LISTEN ADV TELL IT (From the Sierra Leone Gazetteer) The newly appointed Governor, A. K. Slater, C. M. G. C. B. H. handles to Freetown at 9 o'clock on Thursday night. The steamers which brought him with Mrs. Slater and child arrived from the Gold Coast in the morning precisely at 7 o'clock, the time she was expected. Of course, "Abimist" is a fast steamer and has always been styled by the native "Water Snake." According to government notice to the inhabitants of Freetown and the arrangements made by the police department for the reception of His Excellency, crowds of people numbering several thousand came to welcome His Excellency, but they were not allowed to go over a boundary line made and thus many were unable to give that loyal support and reception formerly evinced by the people. Thousands of people cannot get beyond the limit range of Water street and the foot of Charlotte street; as the police were overbalanced with the unusual orders probable they had received from their authorities and which resolved to the utter disappointment of a majority of people, for respectable citizens, even clergymen of such highly respected position as the Archdeacon of the Protectorate Council of the Cathedral, ministers of religion were all disallowed to go beyond the steps from Gloucester street leading to the landing station and it became a crumbling mixed crowd disgracefully treated by the policemen. Westmoreland street was closed from 8 a.p. upwards until long after the affair was practically over; pedestrians and business men were disallowed to pass—in a word, the principal streets. Westmoreland and George streets, were not available for transport purpose; important public business places as the stores of Mr. Jenkins Johnson and Mr. J. B. Roberts were put in a besieged state. Although tickets were numbered and distributed to respectable citizens who were to hear the mandate read and swearing in of His Excellency, yet the arrangements were so distasteful and irregular that chaire and seats were unavailable and most of the invites were unable to find seats in the wail of the court, even the setting police magistrate having to find a seat outside. Agricultural Exhibition For a long time, as they back as 1837, when an agricultural exhibition was got up in Frostown by Mr. Samuel Lewis and Mr. Frederick W. Doyle, nothing of the sort has ever taken place although the effects of that exhibition created great enthusiasm among the village people. Some years after a committee was formed and a determination to get up one was made by the late Colonial Treasurer M. Johnson, but this was not realised, as the number of exhibits did not present sufficient satisfaction for the authorities to continue it, so the project was abandoned. The Knee Chief We understand from several people that in an inquiry into certain questions bearing reference to seamen and the Kroo chiefs matter, the chief said perhaps inadvertently, that the Kroo people are responsible for the hopping up of the labor parties in Fremont.

Ue AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY ARK SULLIVAN, Washington correspondent of The New M York Evening Post, on June 18 deserted the arena of Amer- ican politics to take a fling at developments on the con- tinent. This is significant. Mark Sullivan is one of the most re- able journalists in America. Usually what he has to say is worth Ustening to, Sullivan devotes two columns of Metropolitan news- paper space to a discussion of the decline of the French birth rate and its relation to the use of Senegalese troops on the Rhine. J. L, Garvin of the London Observer is quoted at length. What Mr. Garvin has to say is so important that we feel we must reproduce it in full: F “Leaving Genoa I traveled from the Mediterranean to the Channel through France in the freshest beauty of May. At Toulon, in all the sunshine of the Midi, the high ramparts were lined by black troops in red fezzes. The good natured Senegalese lolled content, not knowing. They were unconscious of that long-armed law which decrees that a declining birth rate in France shall be made good in case of war by a ghastly death rate among the militarized Negroes of tropical Africa. There are over 300,000 of them on a peace footing in France and on the Rhine; there are plans for oves a million in war. 1 + 6 “I reflected. I’ thought of Lenin in the Kremlin and . his Chinese guards. If there is to be a million of black mer cenaries an the French side, according to the mechanical : two-camp logic of M. Poincare and all the fatal Chauvi- nistic schools, why not ultims*ely millions of yellow mer cenaries on the side of Risseand Germany? The logic of French reaction wuuld be a sort of super-Armageddon, with hordes of blacks and yellows launched against each other until the larger forces of the East slowly conquered and the dwindling life of France was trodden out forever. No power in the world so much needs 8 genuine peace sys tem of reconciliation and disarmament as France, whose Population declines with every victory no less than with every defeat.” In other words, as Mr. Sullivan aptly puts it, France is using her Negro colonials to bolster up militarily her alarmingly slow in- ereasc in population. That was Saturday. Qn Stmdsy, the 18th, The New York Herald quoted an article from The London Outlook, entitled “France and the Negro,” saying the very things-Mr. Garvin said. We quote: , “France—or at least Paris—today is full of plans to use the Moroccan and Negro as bulwarks of, shall we say, in polfiteness, a defense policy; and che is ‘cultivating’ the _ Negro in all kinds of ways.

But that is off the track. What interests us is the obvious attempt of England, in league with America, to discredit the Negro troops on the Rhine. We say that America is involved in the conspiracy and we have grounds for the statement. In this very issue of The Negro World is a news article crediting General Allen, commander of the American troops on the Rhine, with saying that the Negro troops are a menace to white civili- zation. In the past the Negro has been willing to fight the battles of Eng land and of America without the slightest hope of recompense Comes now France, a liberal republic, with a proposition that carries with it a guaranty of complete equality Is the Negrc going to overlook it? HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND THE NEGRO r I VHE BOSTON GLOBE and the Boston American in the issue of Friday, June 16, intimated that Harvard University, the stronghold of liberty and freedom, had capitulated ta the race prejudice of Southern students. But the colored brethren need not get alarmed. While the presidents of and professors in universities, hke the President of the United States and the Congressman, mould public sentiment, they are also affected by public sentiment. They are in- fluenced by the Zeit Geist. The members of the faculties are not gods, but men, and they feel the force of the sentiment of the alumni and the undergraduates. Consequently they are as much straws which indicate the way the wind blows as rudders which guide and direct ships. At present two powerful forces are at work in American civiliza- tion at the bottom and at the top. First there is the Ku Klux Klan, whose members are confined to white American protestants. This society puta the ban upon black men, Jews and Irish Catholics. Then st the top of American society are aristocratic Anglo- Saxons, some of Northern, others of Southern birth and breeding. ‘They are too cultured and refined to indorse the coercive measures of the Ku Klux Klan. But they feel themselves immeasurably su- perior to Negroes, Jews and Irishmen. And they desire not only ta avoid social contact and fellowship, but even the semblance and appearance of social contact with supposedly inferior races and social groups. For a long while Harvard University has been boom proof against the artificial distinctions of human society and has upheld the aristocracy of culture and character as well as the aristocracy of birth and wealth. She seems now to be wavering. As to whether she will continue to lift the country up to her ideals or whether she will succumb to the idols of the crowd and the market place re- mains to be seen. The Irish are able to stand the struggle for existence and the battle for place and power because they have political strength. The Jews are well equipped for the fray because they possess finan- cial strength. And the poor Negro can only appeal to the sense of justice and fair play of the Caucasian. He needs to get as much grace, grit, gumption and greenbacks ashe can. He needs to develop Haiti, Santo Domingo and Liberia educationally and industrially. He needs to mass and mobilize his dollars and build up industrial enterprises in the Western hemisphere and in Africa. He needs to train both heart, mind, hand and muscle. He needs what the late Prof. William James called “The Will to Believe.” And he also needs the will to do. He needs all of these things because he is facing the struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest. | During the past three months we have visited towns on the New England coast from New Haven to Boston. We have traversed the Naugatuck and the Connecticut valley. We find that there is not the sympathy for the slow, halting and lame Negro that there was twenty years ago, But we also find admiration for a black man who possesses brains, initiative, courage and energy, for the black man who can stand upon his feet and run the race of life success- fully. We leave as the closing thought the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, a philosopher, whom Harvard did not recognize until he was old, and whom she did not idolize until he was deadj, These words were: “If you have man, black or white is an insignificance.” CHINESE MANLINESS HEY are taking films for the movies in New Bedford, Mass. | ‘These films will illustrate the hazardous adventure of catch- ing whales. It .will probably be the first time that the whaling industry will be exhibited on the screen. A fabulous sum has been offered for the picture. High wages are paid the movie actors, Some Chinamen living in New Bedford were offered a large sum of money to represent Chinamen smuggling opium ashore. They refused both the job and the money, as they did not desire to desecrate their race by representing them in questionable ventures and occupations, even if it was for dramatic effect. They had no objection per se to posing for the movies. And they had no objection to posing in scenes which represented the dignity and nobility of the Chinaman. But they strenuously ob- Jected to being a party to Caucasian propaganda which repre- sented the Chinaman in an unenviable light. Negro blackface comedians, singers of coon songs and those men of ebony hue who posed for some of the scenes in the “Birth of a Nation,” which represented the Negro as a brute and vaga- bond, and those Negro actors who on the stage represent the Negro in s humillating manner might take a hint from the innate dignity and self-respect of the New Bedford Chinamen. Of coune some will say “It is only an artistic interpretation of a type.” Quite trae. But the Negro has been pictured so long on the stage, in the daily press, in school geographies and his- serio pad by Souther orators and writers in his degrading aspects that it is now time for the black man to be represented in litera- ture and histosand on the stage in his higher and nobler aspects.

The Socialist Countess of Warwick is on the warpath. Th« noble lady has not been very greatly in evidence of late. The Socialism which she professed in chic Parisian evening gowns dic not meet with the approval of the British proletariat who could no! believe in the Socialistic leanings of an aristocrat even when that aristocrat was sponsored by Robert Blatchford, the super-Socialist who, became imperial-Socialist during the war. Age having over- taken the noble Countess, who was considered one of the most beau: tiful and shockingly gay of the Victorian era, she now turns hes senile attention to the black troops on the Rhine, whom she attack: in the pages of last Sunday’s London illustrated paper. In this article she calls upon English women to protest to Parhament and through women’s organizations directly to France against the use of black troops on the Rhine. “If France refuses to put an end to this black horror,” she writes, “we can and should arrange a boycott of French mil. linery, French dresses, French wines—everything, in short, that France has to sell to the women of this country” This is very interesting to the women of England, no doubt but unless she has discovered a gold mine the Countess, at least has hittle money to invest in any of the above mentioned French luxuries. She proceeds to state that: “The German authorities were instructed, and indeed com: pelled, to establish brothels for the use of colored soldiers, anc these houses of ill fame were recruited by white women. A large number of German women and girls have been violated by colored troops, and while it is stated that newspapers published in the uccupied territory have been forbidden by the French authorities to report any of these crimes, in certain cases they have even been compelled to issue declarations to the effect that none has taken place. “Tt would bg possible to dive deeper into this abominable mirc and publish further details that have been sent me, but I have a certain regard for my pen. “The truth is, it 8 impossible to restrain the primitive passions of the African soldiery. This has been recogmzed by the French authorities, and some of the published regulations would sicken ‘any Frenchwoman with shame. “Nearly 20,000 colored troops remain on the Rhine, and out- ‘rages of the kind that excited Eyrope and America when first re- ported in 1920 continue in 1922.” Obviously the Countess has forgotten or overlooked the fact that by “Indian Army Orders,” issued by British generals, includ- ing the Jate Lord Roberts, British Commissioners in India were requested to furnish young and attractive Indian girls for the bazaars frequented by the British troops in India, and not only were the colored Indian girls violated by white troops of the coun- try of the Countess, but there was never a word of criticism from any English newspaper, although the circumstances were notorious. Moreover, the number of hali-caste Euro-Asians in India 13 an un- deniable evidence of “the abominable mire” which prevails in India, and it is quite “impossible to restrain the primitive passions” of the English soldiers any more than it is possible to the African soldiers of France. It would appear that the notorious babbling of the gay and youthful Lady Brooke has become a torrent with the advancing years of the Countess of Warwick. The noble lady understands as little about French psychology as she does about the British proletariat Socialist. Some years before the war the French, finding their population decreasing, had a new barracks built at Toulouse for the accommodation of African colonial troops, who, it was thought, because of their vigor, might increase the declining French birth rate and strengthen the decadent French stock. In due course the troops arrived complete with native wives! Every effort on the part of the French authorities to make the Africans fratermize with the French women of the commune was a complete failure. Meanwhile the African popula- tion within the precincts of the barracks increased to alarming pro- portions, and that portion of the army estimates which was being assigned to the support of these troops proving insufficient, the Africans, who had increased the birth rate in a manner quite un- expected by the French, were sent back to Africa with their African families and the barracks were closed until the war exigencies of 1914 necessitated their being brought into commission again. The Germans, the French and the British have all used our women without any restraint upon their primitive passions, but we heard no protest. Now—well, Nemesis 1s slow, but she arrives. I recently referred to the new Japanese policy in China and her evacuation of Hankow. Now she has entered into negotiations with the powers maintaining troops in China to induce them to do likewise so that all foreign troups might be withdrawn from the country. Mr. Sadao Saburi, Charge d’Affaires of the Japanese Embassy at Washington, is reported to have stated at Baltimore on Sunday last that: “By the Shantung treaty, recently ratified by both Japan and China, Japan was enabled to return to China the former German leased territory and the former German railway. Without wait- ing for the ratification, we began at once to carry out the pro- visions of the treaty and a few weeks ago the last of the Japanese troops, which acted as guards along the Shantung Railway, were entirely withdrawn.

Hfusband, Alfred Gordca cad WALL STREET GIVES $50,000 FOR STUDY OF NEGRO HISTORY Robert L. Poston Points Out Danger in Carter Woodson's Position—Sanely Discusses Psychology of Gift R. L. POSTON The daily press announced last week that the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations have given $50,000 to Carter Woodson to be used for the study of Negro history. We are not among those who think that every gift coming from white people has a string to it and should be considered as dangerous, for there are many white people assisting Negroes from high motives. But in view of the fact that the gifts coming from the above named foundations are always questionable, we wish to remind those who have to do with the spending of this money of some dangers that may lurk in the way. Most institutions endowed by these foundations—a notable example is Chicago University, a child of Rockefeller charity—have the reputation of impressing upon their subjects the capitalistic viewpoint. It cannot be denied that until recent years the charity of both Rockefeller and Carnegie, so far as colored people are concerned, was confined to those institutions not devoted to the higher development of the Negro, such as Tuskegee, Hampton, etc., and some of the libraries of Carnegie have been noted for what they do not contain. While it is hoped that the $50,000 given to Mr. Woodson for the study of Negro history is given without any harmful conditions attached to it, yet there is a possibility that such is the case, and it is up to the people to see it to that these wealthy men with their money do not impose upon us as a viewpoint detrimental to our best interest. Mr. Woodson, with whom we are acquainted, is a highly educated gentleman who gives us the impression of being a New Negro. But there is danger in spending money given you by other people, and Mr. Woodson's job is going to be to spend Rockefeller and Carnegie's money without accepting Rockefeller and Carnegie's viewpoint. We trust that: Mr. Woodson will be successful in doing this; but in the event he is not, God help us all! For nothing could have a more harmful effect on the Negro than a Negro history dictated by white capitalists. Some weeks ago, when Mr Woodson's project was being discussed in a meeting at the 135th Street Public Library, a young man expressed the fear that there was too much of Rockefeller and Carnegie behind it. His fears were laughed at by the persons assembled. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE MADE? DR. GERTRUDE MILLER FAYDE In my previous writing I stated that the human body was the most perfect piece of mechanism ever put together. Yet I claim that man knows less about his own construction than he does of the mechanism of anything else from an ordinary coal store to an automobile or an aeroplane. I can assure you that nothing is more fascinating than the study of anatomy or how we are constructed. Let Us Set the World an Example It is the aim of the U. N. I. A through the Surgeon-General's Department, to give you this information and I will assure you, if each reader will save these weekly writings, placing them on file, we will soon be able to boast that no group of people in the world, regardless of race, color or condition, will be as intelligently educated along these lines as we are. If we put what we read in this column into practice no group of people will enjoy such perfect health as the members of our glorious organization. In our writing on anatomy we will consider. 1. The bones or framework of the body. 2. The muscular system. 3. The vascular system or blood. 4. The nervous system 1. The Bones or Framework Most of us do not realize what a truly remarkable work is this skeleton or framework of the body. What the steel framework is to the modern "eky-scraper," the skeleton is to the body, only more so. The steel structure of a high building is immemorable, designed only to support the whole, while the skeleton not only supports the body and protects the vital organs, but is capable of every movement as well. Although the bones have the resisting power of steel, yet so perfectly do the joints articulate that we are enabled to move with such ease and freedom that we forget there are such things as bones or rigid members within ourselves except in old age. There are 205 bones in the skeleton; each has its place, and the tiniest bone is of as much importance as the largest. Bones are supplied with nerves and blood vessels, just as any other part of the body. The blood vessels carry nourishment to the bones and help them to grow. The bones of babies are composed mostly of gelatin; in other words they are so pliable that they don't break easily as in old age, where they are composed mostly of brittle, mineral matter. When children are not fed the right kind of food, especially that which contains an abundance of lime-salta, and when they are deprived of active outdoor play, their bones become too soft and badly formed. In other words, they have the "rickets." The more perfect one's physical development, the larger and stronger the bones. This is clearly demonstrated who were under the impression that the big forces behind this movement were colored and the major part of the support would come from this source. It now turns out from the newspaper reports of last week that this young man who had fears had some ground for them, while the rost of the audience was, as usual, carried away with sentiment. But we may as well acknowledge one thing: As long as a people are poor and without, they will have a hard time taking an independent stand in anything. We feel obligated to those whose money we spend; and, consciously or unconsciously, we find ourselves directing our actions, if not to please them entirely, to offend as little as possible. The extent to which we must sink our individuality in conforming to such a course is apparent. Whether those who spend large sums of white people's money in writing a Negro history can do this without leaning too far toward the viewpoint of their benefactors remains to be seen. We are only pointing out the difficulty of such a source without committing ourselves to the proposition as to whether it can be done or not. We are aware of the position in which Mr. Woodson finds himself, and we would be reluctant to suggest to him that he take a course different from the one he is taking. The Negro race must have its history written. It takes money to do it. If the Negro will not furnish this money, shall Mr. Woodson refuse proffered help from other sources? We can accept but one answer to this question for the other answer would necessitate that we go down in our pockets and furnish the money ourselves, a thing we are too confounded stingy to do. All of which brings us again to the sad realization of the fact that as a race we are in a devil of a fix all over the world—poor, dependent, yet desirous of having. Can't we at least be consistent with the rest of humanity? Why not try the only alternative of getting something, possessing our souls, being men? In the case of Dr. Woodson and his history we have little to suggest. We have admitted that his course is hard. Only we might say. "Be as good to us as you possibly can, good doctor, and when you catch their heads turned, say a truth or so about the black man's part in America." by athletes and those who do heavy work. Their bones are far stronger, ligaments less easily torn and tendons are tougher. They can endure shock that would almost kill the average business man, and when injured recover much quicker. TYPHOID FEVER Diarrhea is a frequent but by no means constant symptom. When present, it may be slight in amount, or on the other hand, extremely profuse, and it corresponds, as a rule, to the severity of the intestinal ulceration, and to the nature of the diet which the patient has been taking. The discharges are highly characteristic, being of light yellow color, resembling pea soup in appearance. Should intestinal hemorrhage occur, as is not infrequently the case during some stage of the fever, they may be dark brown, or composed entirely of blood. About the beginning or during the course of the second week of the fever, an eruption frequently makes its appearance on the skin. It consists of isolated spots, oval or round in shape, of pale pink or rose color, and of about one to one and a half lines in diameter. These various symptoms persist throughout the third week, usually, however, increasing in intensity. The patient becomes prostrate and emaciated; the tongue is dry and brown, the pulse quickened and feeble, and the abdominal symptoms more marked; while nervous disturbance is exhibited in delirium and in tremors and jerkings of the muscles. In severe cases, the exhaustion reaches an extreme degree, but even in such instances the condition should not be regarded as hopeless. In favorable cases, a change for the better may be expected between the twenty-first to the twenty-eighth day. Convalescence proceeds slowly, and relapses are apt to occur. Such repalesms may prolong the fever for two or three months, though this is not common. Treatment The preventive treatment includes all the municipal and domestic measures that aim at securing pure supply of water and milk and well-lit drains. Inoculation with anti-typhoid vaccine is a precaution which may well be adopted by persons about to proceed to a country where the disease is rife. When an out-break of typhoid fever occurs in a family, inquiry should be made at once into all the sanitary matters mentioned as causes, and the source of the milk supply should be scrutinized. The discharges of a typhoid patient should be mixed as soon as possible with a strong disinfectant. For other treatment your physician in charge of the case will take care of same questions. Questions are answered if requested. AERATED WATER HAS REMOVED The Pure Aerated Water Co. has moved to its new quarters at 93 West 142d street, which is a more central place for such a business. It also puts it in a much better position to serve the public. I was glad to note the businesslike manner in which the establishment is conducted. This being a Negro enterprise, you should give it your support. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922 SAY!

MANUFACTURED BY THE PURE AERATED WATER COMPANY 99 West 143d Street FREE AUCTIONS The rich red blood of the African found its way into the veins of many thousands of persons long recognized as of the Anglo-Saxon race, and it only goes to prove that mankind is one and hath but one great end. The whole human race is mixed and has been mixing since time began and nations and races have been thrown into contact with each other. The only race that may be said to be unmixed is the yellow-haired, blue-eyed Teuton who inhabits a certain part of Germany. The polyglot races of all the rest of Europe are as badly mixed as the negroes and whites of the Americans. The bulk of us, white and black, know little of our pedigrees, and it would perhaps be somewhat embarrassing if we did know much. There is not one man in ten thousand that knows the maiden names of his four great grandmothers, or even of what race they all were. A certain writer on this subject observes: "A family chart showing the whole of a man's blood ancestors in five generations is an extremely rare and interesting document." Yes, and a simple glance at such a document would astonish most people, while a complete table, showing them generations, would surprise them still more. It can be mathematically demonstrated that each person in the world is kind to every other person, but I will not attempt it here. If we turn to monarchs whose genealogy or direct descent is more noticed than that of ordinary people, we shall find that of the very mixed blood. The three most powerful monarchs in the world, the king of England, the late emperors of Germany and Russia, who, between them, PRINCE HALL 77TH CONVENTION OPENS Gorgeous Fraternal Spectacle Seen in Harlem The seventy-seventh annual convention of the Prince Hall Masons of the State of New York opened on Sunday, June 4.

Zion Church in West 186th street, where Eureka Grand Chapter. Order of the Eastern Star, and subordinate lodges were escorted through the lines of brothers and Knights Templar with drawn swords into the sacred tabernacle to hear Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, the pastor, deliver his sermon on St. Paul to the Corinthians. Rev. Dr. Charles Martin and Bishop Caldwell occupied the sacred rostrum and took part in the divine exercise. The assembled sisters and brothers taxed the seating capacity of the church. Music and song added to the praises for which the brothers had come together to pray. The collection ran into three figures. On Monday, June 5, a solennn Grand Lodge of Sorrow was held at the same church for the repose of the souls of the brothers who have gone to the eternal home. The Grand Master, David W. Parker, was assisted by his Grand Wardens. E. S. Plummer, Joseph Sullivan, members of the Grand Lodge and brothers in general. The music was in charge of Brother Romeo of Lodge No. 47. The roll call of brothers was read by Grand Secretary Arthur A. Schomburg, and Prof. William Wesley Weekes played with masterly rendition and delicate beethoven's "Funeral March," from his Opus No. 18, after which the Lodge of Sorrow closed, and the Grand Lodge and the brothers marched out to the hymn of "Holy, Holy," as a recessional. On Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock the Grand Lodge opened its seventy-seventh grand annual session, and continued until Friday morning, when the following brothers were returned after a pleasant and harmonious session to guide the destinies of this M. W. G. L. in its one hundred and eleventh year from the institution of Masonry in New York State and seventy-seventh from the creating of the Grand Lodge. On Wednesday evening the Craftsmen Temple Club gave an entertainment for visiting brothers of the fraternity at Manhattan Carino to aid the charity fund. Officers elected for the year: Grand Master, David W. Parker; Deputy Grand Master, Daniel T. Teagle; Senior Grand Warden, Joseph Sullivan, Troy, N. Y.; Junior Grand Warden, James A. Norwood; Grand Treasurer, Harvey E. Williams; Grand Secretary, Arthur A. Schomburg, Brooklyn; Trustees, John H. Lewis, William Harris, Arthur Simmona, Jesse D. Phillips and C. E. Cyril. On Sunday June 28, at one o'clock, the Grand Lodge will assemble in Lafayette Hall to marsh for commemorating the festival of St. John the Baptist (June 24) and to lay the cornerstone of Abrysina Baptist Church, on 128th street, Craftsmen, assemble. governed half the world, are descended from at least a dozen modern nations.

For instance, you had one mother, one father, two grandmothers, two grandfathers, four great grandmothers, four great grandfathers, and the figure goes on in geometrical progression. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024.

Beckon it out for yourselves and, after making all allowances for interbreeding, see how widely related you are to all races and ranks and conditions of mankind. It is not difficult, then, to understand when we hear it, that certain alleged white people have Negro blood in their veins. It is perfectly reasonable and natural to expect that "white" people should have in a more or less degree a splash of the tar brush, just as we expect and know that thousands of people classed as "colored" have been liberally splashed with the whiteish brush and show a connection with the pure white (?) by their hair, color and general physical character. These "pure whites" have been busier changing the complexion and hair of the Negro than the Negro has been in changing that of the whites. I have a long list of these notables who have shown brilliantly as pure white people, but who were no whiter than the slave son or daughter of the high-toned and aristocratic planter of the West Indies and our Southern States of America, who consorted with their comely black and colored slave women and begat children of them. There are thousands of these "pure whites" in the West Indies and more than 2,000,000 of them in the United States. The biographers of Alexander Hamilton, Washington's Secretary of the Treasury, have not told us all they knew of his parentage nor all that was known of his early origin by his contemporaries. Aaron Burr, who killed him in a dual, must have had a very good reason for applying an approbrious epithet, coupled with a slighting reference to his Negro origin—as significant as it was offensive—and we may well believe that Burr's offensive allusion to Hamilton's bastard blood was the real cause of the dual which ended Hamilton's life. --- Every intelligent Negro reader knows that Dumas, Pushkin and Dodda, the ranking officers who commanded the allies in China some years ago, all had this hated blood. The poet Browning is suspected of having the taint, and it is now positively known that the mothers of Paul Du Challieu, the great French African explorer, rated as an authority as a naturalist and writer, and John James Audubon, also a naturalist, whose specialty was ornithology, were colored women.

POSTON In the early fall of 1921 there appeared in the magazine section of the New York World an article by Herbert Seligman, the white gentleman who is head of the publicity department for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in which the efforts of Marous Garvey and the Black Star Line were discredited, and in which an attempt was made to embarrass the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied corporations through harmful subtlety. This article, together with past performances of the New York World, led a writer in the Negro World, organ of publicity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to retort by saying that he felt that there is a secret understanding between the N. A. A. C. P. and certain white publications to disrupt the Universal Negro Improvement Association, headed by Marous Garvey, which they look upon as a rival organization, and to add to the strength of the N. A. A. C. P. through this disruption. Some viewed this retort with a degree of doubt; but an incident occurred on Monday, June 18, which set at naught all doubt in the minds of reasonable persons as regards the attitude of the New York World and the N. A. A. C. P. through its white publicity head, Herbert Seligman toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association. is accessible, as some day, perhaps (7) will be that concerning the early origin of Hamilton. The oldest inhabitants of the island of Nevis, where he was born, have, for more than a hundred years, classified him as a colored man because his mother was a colored woman. The lodges et al are averse to admitting the fact, but truth crushed to earth will rise again. The blood of the African is just as red and rich as the blood of other races and just as good, because it is all the same kind of blood. We like to know wherever this African blood scores, and this is why we name the scorers. Patronize Your Own Industries! Fellow Members of the Negro Race: Why not support your own industries and help to find employment for your Race? Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own enterprises the more will we be able to employ more members of our Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, we employ over two hundred. If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the race to become economically independent; if you expect the race to be respected generally; if you expect us to run more factories and operate more enterprises; if you expect us to employ more Negroes; then you must support the enterprises we have already started. The following enterprises are now operated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association through the African Communities League and the Negro Factories Corporation: UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY Wet and finished laundry work done by competent hands.

It has been admitted by officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that certain reverses have come to the Black Star Line which have caused a temporary setback in the operations of this line. In a suit before a New York judge it was brought out that the corporation had incurred some serious losses through operation. All of this was brought out more than two months ago. Soon after this admission on the part of Marous Garvey that the Black Star Line had incurred some losses, the various papers throughout the country published news articles concerning it and commented upon it extensively. But the New York World, for a purpose which we shall show, waited until the nineteenth of June, two months after the whole thing had occurred, before they devoted more than a column toward the play-up of the "Negro Moss" and the Black Star Line reverses. Now the reason for the reopening of the case in the columns of the New York World: The organization of which Herbert Seligman is head of publicity, the N. A. A. C. P. is holding its annual meetings at Newark, N. J., and most of their delegates are spending their time here in New York. It appears that the New York World and Mr. Seligman are using this as an opportunity time to remind the delegates of the N. A. A. C. P. of these reverses of Marous Garvey with a view of poisoning their minds against him, since it is a known fact that Marous Garvey has in the past few months taken a grip of the people as never before, and Negroes throughout the country are flocking to the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the thousands. Perhaps there may be other reasons for the New York World, two months after date of trial, reopening what was brought out at the suit against the Black Star Lina. But in view of Mr. Seligman's connection with the N. A. A. C. P. does it not appear that we have a fair ground for our interpretation of the whole affair. While Mr. Seligman and the New York World are trying to striko terror into the hearts of the people of the N. A. A. C. P. in regard to the Black Star Lina, why can't they be fair and carry the N. A. A. C. P. delegates the whole distance? Let them take a trip through Harlem and Your Own support your own industries and for Race? or every dollar you spend w ent Association helps to strengthen Race.

MAGAZINE PAGE By WILLIAM BRIDGES Editor "The Challenge" NO. II: Before mo is a report, clipped from the New York market, showing that between November, 1821, and February, 1822, twenty-four large white companies, mostly corporations, crashed in New York city alone. Approximately $1,000,000 was involved. Many of the donors were under the control and management of some of the most astute financial minds in America. This is particularly true of Kardes & Burke, E. W. Wagner and E. D. Dier & Co. Some failed honestly, others dishonestly. Investments by white people, however, despite the dishonest failures and the threatened prosecution of their officers by the District Attorney, have not abated—and will not abate. This was confirmed on June 12 when the Stock Exchange and Curb markets fungu up a new high mark for stock transactions. It is further confirmed by the thousands new waiting to participate in an issue of the North American Steel Corporation, a new merger which is soon to be placed on the market by Kuhn, Leeb & Co. White people take failures as a matter of course. Corporations handled by colored men alone must succeed—succeed or their officers will be branded as crooks and secondary men. These lessons we must learn: Business is not a gem under double lock and key. It is not manipulated on the basis of common sense. Its existence can no more be maintained by idealistic eulogies and enthusiastic hopes than the sun can be tied down with twins. In itself it is a set of rigid rules and regulations. Ignore them or be unable to comply with them for any reason and the tombstone of wreck will rest over you. The impossible is forever asked of colored business men. But they are not gods. They are still in swaddling garments. They cannot turn back thunder in the clouds. Intricate financial transactions such as are ordinary routine with the Tile Guarantee & Trust Co. or the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. are as abstruse to them as life itself. They are constrained by their economic status to pick up their knowledge here and there, to gamble and guess. If they did not fall this race would never succeed. A survey of the beginnings of corporations under the direction of Negroes, the rise of some, the fall of others, would be magnificently interesting; and that so many have stood up in spite of the handicap is, perhaps, an unprecedented achievement. They have stood up in the most difficult fields—banking and insurance. The Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., operating in seven States and chartered to begin in New Jersey, the Tidewater Bank & Trust Co., the only Negro trust company in the world testify to this. It would seem, therefore, that the spiritual value of these successes, a value transcending monetary terms, would serve as an exhaust for skepticism and condemnation and tend towards the further exalting of racial consciousness for larger conquests. It is furt the opposite. The scars on our shields are seen and instantly magnified. The apologies we obtain are never consistently impaired. Like lawyers, Negroes must win every case. Lose one and oblique follows; succeed and multitude waits to acclaim, fail and dishonesty becomes a mess. Negroes fall, however, not through his honesty. I am firmly of the belief that were it possible to compile complete statistics of corporations that have failed among them and sift out the ones that failed from malpractices get one in fifty would be found. The Hunter Bank of Chicago is, perhaps, the most distastrous overturn in all the path of our endeavors, but Mr. Hunter and his associates certainly cannot be fairly accused of sharp actions. They simply did not understand the fundamental concepts of business economics for their scientific application to banking. They built many years ahead of them. It is thus with numerous others. Experience or theoretical experience on one hand, urgent lack of capital as the other, constitute our assets, all of which is sustained by when has happened to many, of our corporations that spring up, just prior to during and immediately after the war. Misses eight, pent of them have started by hard-working well-organized folks who desire to accomplish large aims by diverting into productive channels some of the money made by our people during the war. This was a whimsical spirit. Its stature and skillwardness perplexes an audience. But the essential necessity for the successful industry is on a corporate basis were actually about them. Their trailing many of these are instances, who obtained corporations in New York, acquired them from the most important firm that are diligent in their actual management? How many corporations obtained an item from the most successful firm that are diligent in their actual management? How many corporations obtained an item from the most successful firm that are diligent in their actual management? ```markdown ``` war. They did not realize that speculation with artificially created values demanded and demands the discretion of master minds. What is true of this class of corporate builders is true of all classes. Considering, therefore, this dearth of experience and a more tragic dearth of capital it is encouraging, or ought to be, that we have managed to preserve so many of our war-born ventures. With enough capital to permit of the punishment incident to inexperience this inexperience may often be transformed into efficiency. When, nevertheless, the untrained or partly trained, which is equivalent, must squirm and pinch for money with which to cover a pressing gap failure is almost always the result. Corporations conducted by Negroes cannot possibly obtain from their stockholders any reasonable amounts of capital when desperate needs demand it. I have in mind a large corporation of this sort which now needs thirty thousand dollars with which to expand. Its stockholders number nearly four hundred. One hundred dollars from each one would supply the required capital and save the company approximately $50,000, for if the money is obtained outside bonus and other charges will amount to that. Up to the present not only have these stockholders, whose corporation has holdings of $1,000,000, not tried to raise the $30,000, but they have manifested no interest at all. I do not believe that the imminent loss of the corporation's entire assets would dissipate their pronounced apathy. Go now to the other side of the page. Several months ago the Lincoln Motor Company of Michigan became so heavily involved that its creditors instituted proceedings which resulted in an advertised sale of its properties. Its officers and directors were friends of the great Henry Ford, who, hearing of what impended, served immediate notice on the country that he would expand his fortune before permitting such a splendid organization to be despoiled and lost to the industry of which he is part. He did not have to spend his fortune. When the company was placed on sale he wrote his check for $8,000.000. The Lincoln Motor Co. remains intact and the same men direct its affair. I know that Negroes cannot supply money like white people. I also know that they will not supply what they can in a pinch. This has contributed more than any other single factor to the smash up of our corporations. It is, in a word, the most sinister part of our business history. The fundamental causes of our failures, then, can be attributed to inexperience and the lack of means for securing quick capital when it is needed. Remedy these and the fight is won. We hear from the Century Company that we are to have from Herbert Adams Gibbons next fall a book which will be (as he himself puts it) not a politico-discursive one, but a day-to-day record of travel and observation in the Near East. It will be by a traveler who knows that hot-bed of unrest extraordinarily well. You may remember that Dr. Gibbons was Near East correspondent for the New York Herald most of the time from 1808 on to the war period, spending years in Turkey, Egypt, the Balkan States, Asia Minor and Greece. He was professor of history and political economy in Robert College, Constantinople, 1810-1812. Now he is seeing the Balkan, Greece, Turkey, the Caucasus afresh, and—so his publishers say—has promised that he will not talk politics this time, but will keep his particular "head of King Charles the First" out of the resultant production; if he can. Mr. Gibbons being non-political is an interesting prospect, for he is a delightful observer in his less strenuous moments. He himself has related to his publishers how his wife Helen Davenport Gibbons (bothera a writer), discussing the new work with him, accused the political writers, himself among them, of the role of common sold, challenging him to abandon it this time and look out for the hopeful things, for signs of returning health, for "the common people picking up the pieces after the war—reconstructing their little houses and at the same time looking for something that will heal their soul." He has evidently fallen in with her suggestion, for his prospect to name the new book "An Optimist in the Near East"—a title he is contemplated with more than冠仰. Interest when the putative optimist is Merriam Adams Gibbons. "My Book of 'Gleasant Cain'." S. C. Francis gave emphasis on its quality, cheerful way, registration, a twelfth printing and postscript in its innate appeal to the children. It was meant for twelfth BAP of the children's books while chaperone in a private course for the children. They were really and deeply kind, for the child. Children helped in the chaperone's parity of those children, helped thereby the good ones. BOOK CHAT YE COLYUMNIST The Saturday Evening Post of June 17 contains the second instalment of J. Poindexter. It sure is a humdinger. After coming to our most beautiful and "big business" city, this gentleman, a product of the South, meets with the usual greeting given to out-of-town visitors. We recall that on one occasion an Italian came to this country for the first time; a taxi took him from the pier which happened to be driven by one of his own country-men. The driver, who spoke English fluently, and was as wise as they make, sold this stranger a subway ticket, charging him something like $18.00. But here is Mr. Jefferson Exodus Poindexter meeting up with one of his own kind and turning the tables on him, getting the beat of the deal. This happens to be the same old stall played in a different way. One of the con men meet up with the prospect, accost and hall him by any off-hand name. Upon denial by the said prospect exouses are made in such a manner that the victim is momentarily put off his guard. It's only but a moment's work to get him in such a condition that he will be telling about himself, from birth to his present life. Included in this is the entire history of—shall we say Nevins Corners—which, of course, tells the con man all he wishes to know. Quick work on the part of the latter now becomes essential. Leaving J. Poindexter he relates the story to his partners for sheer memory beats anything of our knowledge. But the gentleman from below the Mason-Dixon line becomes equal to all their wives. In this instance a very valuable pin lost by a colored Arabian Prince is the prize. Our well-known friend is in a hurry to make an out-of-town train to a distant city to open a branch of his flourishing business. He will compromise by taking a half of the reward. Jeff was out of ready money so he offers to give his watch, which is worth above $40. Momentime he is putting away eating material to the extent of $1, but when all is said and done he has got the better of our city-bred man to the tune of some $10, including pin, which the wiley Jeff places at 75 cents providing the price of brass has not depreciated. Later his benefactor is met by one in his own circle and Jeff wishes to help but is afraid to overstep the cords as between master ard servant. However, in doubt, master turns to servant, of which J. Poindexter promises to relate in his next narrative. One of the things that always appears unnecessary to us is the ridiculous illustrations that accompany some colored stories. Even the illustrations in "Birthright" were rotten. It may have been entirely in the choice of artists. Yet in the Irving Cobb stories from time to time they have not been so outlandish. We have, in following the S. E. P. for a number of years, seen some garish gawkish illustrations of which, with a minute magnifying lens, one could not pick one character from another. There is such a thing as Mahomet going to the mountain. Why not use colored illustrators for these stories so as to give the devil his due? L. L. H. book lives eight years, requiring constant reprinting, like this "Book of Cheerful Cats," one may be sure it has been taken to the heart of childhood. The Century Co. informs us that it has again ordered a printing—the third-of Harry Hervey's "Caravans by Night." It seems that when H. L. Mencken has given the accolade, as he did to this rich yah, even the highbrows are not afraid to own to sheer enjoyment of sheer romance. There are all the elements of an artistic success in the quality of the reception given to this unpatentious popular mystery story set in India, Burma and Thibet. Maurice Masterlinck has joined the ranks, numerous and growing daily, of those who can no longer dismiss even the eruder psychio manifestations with what was once considered an unlightened skepticism. He has investigated along many lines, and in "The Great Secret," just published the last week of May, gives an explanation of the phenomenon of table-tipping which may or may not suit the experimenter better than the idea of direct intervention by attenuate "bodies" of disembodied (1) spirits. Great is experiment! Table-tipping and all the phenomena of levitation are the work of "od," the affluence or emagination from our bodies (and from so-called "material" things also) which, long detected by sensitives and mediums, has of late years been tested by photography—not only that, but has been weighed, says Masterlinck. "Here than," he goes on, "we have the existence of this universal emanation experimentally demonstrated. Now let us inquire into its properties and effects. "I shall conge myself to a few essential facts. Thanks to these emanations, it has been possible to prove that this fluid is the same as that which produces the manifestations of table-tipping; in the eyes of a sensitive instead, these manifestations are accompanied by luminous phenomena whose synchronism leaves no doubt that the emission of the fluid is correlated with the movements of the table. The latter does not move until the radiations proceeding from the hands of these experimenting have become sufficiently powerful. These radiations convince into insatiable columns over the center of the table, and the more intense they become the more livelier in the table. When they fade away, the table will be motionless." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1822 THE NEGRO and MUSIC Much more could be said about the various peoples and music during these and later periods, but you will understand that I am not writing the history of peoples or of music, but using briefly historical facts upon the question involved. We could not very well close our discussion upon Egypt without mentioning the Hebrews. These people, though enslaved seemingly beyond all possibility of recoverin a national existence, are much alive today as a distinct race. One can readily realise the complexity in finding a purely Hebrew music, as periods of enslavein by the Asyrians, Persians, Egyptians and Romans had changed them considerably, and this is attested by the fact that the hymns used in Jewish synagogues in various countries of Europe are quite different. Some writers claim that the songs of the Hebrews were adapted to Egyptian chants! This seems probable as it was during their four centuries sojourn in Egypt, for a time enslaved, that they gained considerable of Egyptian science, literature, custom, etc. and tradition says that Mirmat, the sister of Moses, was a slave dancing girl and singer. We know that the Hebrews were an intensely religious people and that Moses was instructed in the learning of the Egyptian priesthood and in that capacity officiated in some of the temple services. Music to them was more a matter of religion than of art. People Talked About The late Richard Theodore Greener, who died recently at Chicago, Ill., was a thoroughbred in matters of business. When he became president of "The Dominion Pulverizer Co., in 1896, he wrote me at Albany, N. Y., where I was then residing, as follows: Dear Bruce: Please find enclosed, to be forwarded to the papers named by yourself, subscriptions for said journals for the year beginning January 1, 1896. I have already sent a similar notice to the Colored American. This is sent to you to testify in a small way our appreciation of your work as a conscientious journalist. Greener knew the value of printers' ink and how to deal with those who used it in great quantities. There are some people in this world who have gotten the false impression that publishers of newspapers are philanthropists and, therefore, have no need or use for money. They are peripatetic beggars of space in our weeklies to boost their private business entertainments and the cheap nobodies iden- U. S. MINISTER TO LIBERIA GETS LL.D. FROM LINCOLN UNIVERSITY LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. June 12.—The closing of the 67th year of the College of Lincoln University was punctuated with a series of important events. Besides the regular ceremonies and the awarding of prizes there were several unique features and the reunion of the Class of 1913. The Board of Trustees met June 6 and conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws upon Solomon Porter Hood, DD., 73, and upon Dr. Eugene Percy Roberta, 91, of New York City. Dr. Hood, who is an alumnus of Lincoln, was recently appointed Minister to Liberia by President Harding. He is now stationed at the U. S. Legation in Monrovia. At the same time the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon Rev. Augustus C. Griggs, 93, a teacher in the Haines School at Augusta, Ga., and Rev. Livingtons N. Maimba, 98, who is now located in South Africa. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, who entered Lincoln University one year after the Civil War, and who was graduated exactly one-half century ago, delivered the invocation with all the strength of youth. George Wharton Pepper, U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, delivered an eloquent commencement address. He said that in analyzing the course offered by Lincoln University he found that it measured up adequately to the four essential sides of man's activity, namely, work, love, play and worship. He ended his address by quoting Kipling's "Summary of the Character of George Washington." A host of prizes were awarded the $50 Annie Louise Finney prize to J. G. W. Cox; the Huston prizes in English to F. H. Davia, and to E. L. Brooks and M. B. Tolson the Bradley Gold Medal in National Science to D. J. Gilbert; the Standford Memorial Medals in Mathematics to R. S. Jason and A. N. Gordon; the Rodman Wanamaker prizes in English Bible to M. W. Hubbard, L. J. Robinson, F. P. Twine and E. R. Archer; the Junior Orator medals to M. B. Tolson and I. J. Robinson; the Obdyke Debate medal to M. B. Tolson; the Parmley prizes in oratory to R. O'H. Lanier and J. R. Gilbert; the Train Memorial prizes in oratory to S. O. Rice and J. B. MacRae; the Freshman-Sophomore Debate prize to the Sophomore Team composed of J. B. MacRae, D. E. Pope and J. W. Gester; prizes in English to R. S. Jason and to J. A. Archer and L. N. Brown of the Sophomore class and to E. R. Archer and to M. W. Walke and J. A. Simpson of the Freshman class; the class of 1999 prize to John E. Gatling; the class of 1996 prize to M. W. Hubbard and R. O'H. Lanier; and the class of 1916 prize to J. M. Lazer; Twenty-eight A. E. Degrees were conferred. The commencement ceremony reached the elkines when Mrs. Curtie, widow of the late Joseph L. Curtie, 98, kin- Musical activity seems to have begin with the Greeks at the time when Cecrops brought a colony from Egypt and founded Athena, 1558 B.C. a period when Egypt was a center of power, wealth, education and science. We find the greatest of philosophers: Plato, 420 B.C. Aristotle, 584 B.C. the great mathematician Euclid, 523 B.C. Boethius, Plutarch and others treating largely upon music, also great musicians of their day: Pythagoras, 585-808 B.C. Aristoxenus, 580-820 B.C. Eratosthenes, 718-196 B.C., and in the Christian era, Didymus, A. D. 60, and Claudius, Ptolemy, A. D. 180. Again, during these periods, we find men not only endeavoring to bring about the best that was in music, but constantly improving thereon that better results may be obtained. The following names being mentioned: Terpander, 676 B. C., who increased the number of strings on the lyre from four to seven; Pythagoras, who added an sighth string to the lyre and was called the discoverer of the Tetrachord, which is still known by this name, the inventor of the octave scale, also the discoverer of the ratios of the consonances. Also Aristotelesus, who claimed that the ear was the final court of appeal in matters musical. Other earlier musicians were singers or bards who chanted the songs composed in honor of chiefs and tribal heroes. The greatest of these was the blind Homer. (To be continued in next issue.) titted with their various enterprises. They not only do not pay for space begged, but they not infrequently fail or refuse to send these publications a complimentary ticket to their affairs. When they do give complimentary tickets, the Intelligent Committee on Publicity and Promotion, after a severe heart strain, sends one ticket stained with tears of the chairman. The organization has received from the paper 85 or 10 worth of advertising and the paper receives one meanly 50 cent. or 75 cent ticke* its representative, when sent to report the affair, is generally received and treated by the committee with suspicion and five cents worth of ice-cream that, perhaps, some one else could not eat, and a piece of baker's cake that has been manhandled by a dozen waiters.

"Woe unto them that decree ungrighteous decree, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!" The place for the "Big Boss" or Driver of today is certainly not that of a leader. The leader who gets results from the people must realize his position and the trust that is his. He must know and realise that the people have rights as well as he has rights; and that if success is to be had there must be a mutual interchange of ideas and respect for the rights of each.

Where the spirit of the "Big Boas" survives in the realm of industry it ought to be Just as much out of date, for it is just as opposed to the spirit of justice and Christian brotherhood as the blind autocracy of a king. In a great many factories, mines, mills and offices the owners exhibit as cruel disregard of the rights and welfare of the workers as Reboobam did of the rights of his subjects. II. "The Passion for Justice." One great cause of industrial unrest is the desire of the workers for a larger share in the profits of industry. It should be frankly said that in this matter not all of the workers are always entirely fair. In these days there is too often manifested a desire on the part of workers to get just as much money and give as little work as possible. On the other hand in probably a far larger number of cases, the return to the worker in wages has not been proportionate to the amount of wealth that his labor has created. Large dividends have been piled up for those who are fortunate enough to own the capital, while the lives of the PLAYING AT BETTE THEATRE and 132d Street WAL DIRECTION OF BEN BROS.

Don't Weekly Sermon Weekly Sermon workers and their families have been stripped bare of comfort and leisure and culture. Children in workers' families have been denied the birthright of a fair opportunity. It is no longer considered right for a corporation to go on year after year paying dividends of twenty, thirty, forty per cent. on its stocks and then say it cannot afford to pay the workers a wage that will enable them to live in reasonably comfortable fashion. Another reason for unrest is the attitude on the part of the employers and owners that makes the workers merely so many things. They are regarded impersonally as a part of the machinery and the human touch between employer and worker is lost. Dangerous and unhealthful conditions of work constitute another serious cause of unrest. Where lives are endangered by occupational diseases, Christian standard demands that such conditions be changed. Christianity does not furnish a detailed scheme for the operation of industries that it does demand, however, that in every industry human values must be placed before material values. Alongside the financial balance sheet there must be a human balance sheet that the health, happiness and possibility of character that come out of industry. Into the industrial situation, that is so often a state of war, there must be carried by both employer and employee the Christian spirit of brotherhood. There is no rule for the elimination of industrial unrest except the old, old rule, which we call the golden rule—"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

DIVISIONS MARCUS GARVEY GETS DEAFENING WELCOME IN LOS ANGELES, CAL Thousands of Followers and Distinguished Citizens Pay Noble Tribute to Great Leader of U. N. I. A. (The California Eagle) LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 17 — There were those among the Negro population of Los Angeles who doubted whether or not the far-famed President-General, Marcus Garvey, would arrive in Los Angeles and then if he should arrive that he would not speak, and if he did speak there would be no big parade. Those who gave vent to this situation, however, were disappointed to the extreme. Mr. Garvey did come and in coming he spoke and also rode in state, leading one big parade, led as it were by a platoon of mounted policemen and the U. N. L. A. brass band, followed by the various branches of the U. N. L. A. of this city, Watta, Duarte, Morovia, Victorville and neighboring towns; the parade was about four blocks in length. It formed at Fourth and Central avenue, marched south to Twenty-first and Naomi, where the President-General reviewed the same and gave a brief reception to his followers. Noticeable and worthy of meritiness mention was a most elaborate float which was a representation of a republic in Africa, the creation of the same demonstrated rife tacit and genius in design. The criticism that stood out was that the President-General was in a closed car when he should have been in an open one, for 10,000 people had lited Central avenue to see him. However, in the President-General's car was the only old reliable J. W. Coleman, who sat next to President-General Garvey, the man of the hour, the man who put the 'big parade" over. Assemblyman F. M. Roberts and Douglas Greer, president of the local U. N. L. A., also occupied seats with the President-General. Meeting at Trinity Auditorium Sunday afternoon at 2:30 about 1,000 persons wended their way to Trinity Auditorium where Mr. Garvey addressed them. J. W. Coleman provided as master of ceremonies. The representative of Mayor Cryer in a rousing speech welcomed the President-General. Mr. Garvey spoke for about one hour and ten minutes and his speech was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Sunday Night This was an open meeting, or, in other words, no admission could be charged. It was stated that the meeting was for the purpose of making a drive for new members. President Greer appended the meeting with quite an address as to the aims and purposes of the U. N. I. A. Mr. Louis Michel, known far and near as a fearless advocate for the equality of all people, was introduced and spoke from his heart as a champion of the Garvey movement. Mrs. Simock read a very appropriate poem for the occasion, which was received with tremendous applause. Mr. Garvey was then introduced and spoke briefly on the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. This meeting was held at the Fourteenth Street School auditorium, which was packed to the doors. Monday Night Mr. Garvay spoke at the Trinity again on the subject, "Battle Cry of Africa." to between 800 and 800 persons. At this meeting enthusiasm reached its highest point as the speaker depicted in glowing and forceful terms his propaganda for the building of a United States of Africa. Tuesday Night At Monrovia the auditorium of the High School was filled to hear the noted President General. At this meeting Dr. Mingwall introduced Mr. Howard Fulke as master of ceremonies, who introduced Mayor Funk, who welcomed the visitors to Monrovia. Mrs. S. E. Edward read an original poem and Mr. Fulke was introduced and spoke along the lines of the work of the U. M. L. A. Many Persons Mest Distinguished Visitor While here Mr. Garvey stopped at the residence of Mrs. Ella Cassella, corner Nighthawk and Paloma streets, and spouses of persons prominent in the life of Los Angeles paid their respects to him, as a foremost man of the times.

THE NEGRO NEEDS LARGER IMAGINATION (Continued from page 3) gro group. But the outcome of this is that the Negro in America is, psychologically, like a Hungarian gotham. The organizer or leader can bear testimony to the fact that his most difficult task lies in the matter of holding the group for long intervals to any one given proposition. But the World War did much toward cultivating for America an international mind and quickening the imagination of the Negro in America. Cruel as it sounds, it is a fact, nevertheless, that for America as for the Negro in America the war came to too untimely an end. Continuation of hostilities for a while longer would have woven the United States into the very texture and fabric of world affairs and extended the imagination of Negroes in America so as to comprehend the darker peoples of the entire world. The war gave a tremendous impetus to race consciousness. No amount of effort before the war could have produced the results which followed the passionate appeal issued by Max Yergen to Negroes in America to send help to their kinfolk in Africa. Stimulation of the imagination is the most vital need of the Negro at the present time. As we look at the other nations and peoples of the world we discover that it is that which lies at the core of our commercial expansion, our progressive humanization of the sciences, the blending of concretions in discourse with concretions in existence. It is that which gave the white world the leverage which they have used to such telling advantage in the last five centuries. The bringing together into one solid body of all the darker peoples of the world can only take place as the imagination of the Negro is expanded so as to take in, in one grand conquest, the inarticulate gropings and constructive idealism of the entire race. Africa has been sleeping the sleep of centuries; and while she slept strangers came in and took charges, after binding the sleeper hands and feet. But Africa is arising out of her long slumber. As she arises, however, she finds herself nonplussed by the tremendous strides the other peoples have made during her slumber. The infusion of new blood, new enlightenment, new culture into the blood of the native will help the race to hold its ground and recover itself. The rehabilitation of Africa and the restoration of the ancient glories of Ethiopia is the ideal which the Universal Negro improvement Association has fixed as its goal, and it is appealing to the race to help bring it to pass. The anchorage which such an accomplishment would be to Negroes everywhere would not be different from the cities of refuge for the Jews during the days of their national life. The Negroes of the new world are needed to help the Negroes of the old to redeem the race politically, economically, intellectually and spiritually. The call is, therefore, to men and women of training in every branch of modern science, industry and culture—picked men and women—who, along with their ability, are fired with the spirit of the prospector, the pioneer, the trailmaker. All Negroes are not expected to pull stakes and leave. As magnetic a personality as Moses was, he could not get all the Israelites to go with him to Palestine. But all Negroes can project their personalities into the venture by alding it materially and morally. And here is reason sufficient why there should be comity instead of animity between the two types of Negro leadership. Their functions are indeed complementary; their different spheres are in reality only hemispheres of the one thing. A man may have a leaning towards one type—a special preference for it. That is his personal right and prerogative, but the man who totally condemns the one while he lauds the other brands himself as incompetent of critical judgment. On this point we shall hope to dwell at another time. In the heat of discussion on this crucial question of race there comes the news that the prince-regent of Abyssinia, Ras Tassafar, has extended an invitation to Negroes in America to come over and help Abyssinia work out its destiny. Mr. Greenleaf B. Johnson, in the Negro World of last week, says: "The present ruler believes Abyssinia and her resources would be ample to sustain 15,000,000 American Negroes. Besides augmenting the Negroes' independent status, it would be a forward step in the reclamation of the motherland, Africa." In the same sense we are advised that, the British Government has already given its consent to the colonisation of a part of Africa, which will be conceded to would-be settlers from the Western hemisphere. We have not been able to determine the importance of these reports. But it is our belief that now Negroes would recognize GILBERT's contribution, even though they would readily see the infeasibility of widespread alienation overnight. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24. 1922 TOOTE PUTS GORLDON STRAIGHT ON AGNOSTICISM OF U. N. I. A. Second Annual Promenade and Picnic ALL HONOR TO PHILA- DELPHIA DIVISION By V. PLUMMER Never has a more pleasant surprise greeted the eyes of a visitor to the Philadelphia Division of the U N. L. A. than was witnessed by the writer when he casually dropped in at their regular Sunday meeting held in the Salem Baptist Church at Twelfth and Bainbridge streets last Sunday. At the door just before entering he saw lined up before him some sixty or more stalwart men of fine physique and military bearing, all members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and attired in a temporary uniform of the African Legions, and receiving apparently their instructions from their officers before entering upon their accustomed duties of policing the large and spacious church where the large membership had gathered to hear the many visitors and invited guests address them. The most particular thing that attracted the eyes and attention of the writer was the distinguished feature of their uniform, it being an arm band of dark green, about four inches in width, super inlaid with a square of yellow felt with an oval containing the design of an elephant. The design of the elephant, we were told, represents the real African freight carrier, contradistinguished from the camel, the Egyptian symbol of the messenger of the desert. A regular police officers' badge is used, but in the center of the shield, instead of the officer's number, is a golden circle inlaid with the raised figure of Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, the "Joan of Arc" of the U. N. L. A. and its international organizer. She is posed like unto the Statue of Liberty, holding aloft instead of the torch the "Scales of Justice" with her left hand and in her right she holds a two-eided sword pointing obliquely to the ground. Very significant, indeed. The design is both unique and inspiring. Much credit should be given the officers and more particularly the president of the Philadelphia division for fostering and encouraging his membership to go and do things worth while. Dr. Lilion Francis and his officers with the assistance of the membership have set the pace for divisions along these lines. Doctor, what further pleasant surprises are in store for us? By E. R. E. GILKES YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio.—There were five mass meetings held on May 28, 39, 30 and 81 in Youngstown and Struthers. The meetings were successful. Every Negro who believed in Africa for the Africans did his bit. The meetings were called to order in the usual manner. Mr. Williams, secretary to the Secretary-General, gave us a treat with his eloquence. A few remarks were given by Mr. Bernhardt, who is willing at any time to say a few words in the interest of the organization. Mr. Bernhardt is a 100 per cent. Garveyite. Last but not least was the Right Hon. Fred A. Toote. Every division knows the value of Mr. Toote. He speaks to the point and makes things so plain that no one can refuse to join the association. On May 30 and 31 Mr. Toote spoke in Struthena, and in our midst was Rev. Gordon; he, like all other preschera, thinks he knows it all, but the Right Hon. Fred A. Toote made him look like a row of pines. This Rev. Gordon wanted to know why it was that when Negroes join the Garvey movement they do not return to church. Right Hon. Fred A. Toote's reply was in such a manner that SUNDAY AT THE ASBURY PARK DIVISION A statement upon the bulletin board announced that Dr. J. D. Gibson, Surgeon-General of the U. N. I. A. would be the orator for Sunday, June 4, and consequently a splendid audience came out to hear him. The house was called to order at 8:30 p. m. After announcing that Dr Gibson's visit had be postponed for the 7th inst., President Elbert Green asked Vice-President T. M. Henry to make a short address, stating the object of the society. Other addresses were made by Ex-President Cosby, who rendered an able eulogy on Mr. Garvey's great editorial of June 3. Mrs. Marshall, of Perth Amboy, and Rev. Johnson, assistant pastor of the Second Baptist Church, and Mr Wilson, of the Philadelphia Division, made excellent addresses. Madam D. L. Hudgina, organist of Bethal A. M. E. Church, and director of our choral club, furnished splendid music. President Green and Vice-President Henry are sparing no pains in their efforts to increase the subscription of the Negro World. Many copies were sold at the close of the meeting. A high tide of good feeling laved every feature of the meeting, and those who helped High Commission: Hodge through our reconstruction here are now thinking that they have not worked in vain. NEGRO GIRLS TAKE LAW DEGREE AT N. Y. U Two young women graduated from the School of Law, New York University, on Wednesday, June 7, 1922. Anna Jones Robinson, 208 West 144th street, and Enid F. Thorpe, 53 West 99th street. Both these young women received the degrees of Bachelor of Law and Juris Doctor of Law, and enjoy the honor of being the first two colored women in New York State to graduate from a law school. Mrs. Robinson and Miss Thorpe are both graduates of Hunter College of the City of New York, having received the degree of Bachelor of Arts and are teachers in the public schools of New York City, Mrs. Robinson teaching in P. S. 89, 135th street and Lenox avenue, and Miss Thorpe in P. S. 11, 17th street. Both young women intend entering the general practice of the law after passing the New York State bar examination. Rev Gordon, or any other preacher who was present, would never ask such foolish questions about the movement. NEW CUBAN CABINET HAVANA, June 16.—The United States Government and Gen.

Pedro Retancourt; Justice, Erasmo Reguiersos, who filled that post in the latest Zayas Ministry, Education, Francisco Zayas, brother of President Zayas; Secretary to the President, Jose Manuel Cortina, the present incumbent. MARCUS GARVEY IN PORTLAND The local branch of the U. N. I. A presented Hon. Marcus Garvey to the public at the Couch School last Wednesday night. A comfortably filled house listened attentively to the speech of a well educated man, gifted with a pleasing personality, a wonderful baritone voice, having a distinct, modulated Yankee-English accent. To hear the speaker—not seeing him—one could not determine that he is a Negro. He selected for his subject: "Internationalism of the Negro"—the purpose being to help organize a strong government in Africa. Garvey held his audience with logic, wit and humor, and attempted to drive into it serious thoughts gleaned from extensive study and travel about the world. He is not a pessimist, ut may be classed as an optimist, believing in material religion made stronger by spiritual cultivation. He asserts that the man with earthly goods can be a better citizen and Christian than the one who is poverty-streken. To hear him, after having listened to several of his assistants on different occasions, you see a difference in interpretation of the Garvey movement. He does not want any Negro to go to Africa; while his assistants left the impression that "Back to Africa" was the big idea. Negro internationalism and race cohesiveness are far-sighted problems which are many years ahead for the Negro to solve, and if Garvey can keep enthusiasm in the U N I A. by transmission after he is dead, there is a probable chance of success of his idea. That it is gigantic, one can only conceive after having board Garvey explain his message. Even if no results come in the next few years, his plans are two hundred years ahead of the average Negro, who holds the majority influence in the race. Whether that element can understand what Garvey means, time only can tell, for his plans call for cold, systematic sacrifices and not spasmatic, hysterical enthusiasm. This makes one ponder and ask the question. Will the average Negro prove a dependable asset? — The Portland Times.

He arrived on schedule time, keeping all appointments to date, and at 9:30 p. m. of that day, after a concert program at the Couch School, the Hon. Marcus Garvey was introduced by our president, R. D. Bird, to a goodly representation of the race, and was greeted with tremendous applause. Mr. Garvey then proceeded and delivered to his hearers a wonderful message, which kept them spellbound, the silence being broken only by repeated applause which was sometimes ceaseless. In his discourse he pointed out the possibilities which lie within ourselves, and stated that God did not make any inferior races, but created all men equal, and that we are to blame for our condition. He spoke of the aims and objects of the association, and among other things he said that he was seven years trying to explain it, but failed to accomplish same, owing to the vast magnitude of its scope.

In any rac, he is attracting more attention to the race of Negrose than has ever been directed to us before: and is bringing the world (and even the Negro Bimself) to @ realisation of the fact that the Negro ls « man; that the Ne- gro baa e soul, strong, deep and poten- tial; that the Negro is © superb apeo- tmen of the handiwork of the Great Creator; and that this much-maligned. much-oppressed race of ours will yet 20 shape its own destiny and so grapple with the probleme of the age In which we live that the nations of the world. emall and great will have to recken with us and accord to us the rights and Privileges which God and Nature pro- vided for us aa well as for all the othera of the sone of men.

L A. which fm, with but one exception, the greatest spiritual force that has ever swayed the minds of men since the world be- gan. This is bold statement, never- theless it 19m true statement. The aime and objects of this Untvorsal Ne- gro Improvement Association reach out toa greater number of the human race than any other organization outelde of Christianity, the religion of Jesus Christ, And this organisation, founded {n the deep consciousness of the fact that here upon this earth there ls 00 other race just like our Negro race; 80 full of potential power, so full of dormant virtues and qualities; so prog- nant with possibilities and so charged with hope, le attracting, even impelling all mankind to turn thelr attention to us Negross and soe us in a newer and truer light than that in which we have deen seen before, | And mankind—that is, the other races, is beginning to understand what Nogroes mean when they declare that “We are men.” Everywhere, on every hand, they can see God's own divine promise being fulfilled, which decreed that “Princes shall come up out of Egypt.” “Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God” Look where you will and you can ave princes com- Ing up out of Egypt—yes, princes in power, in learning: princes in soul foros, princes in achlevernent, princes In the determination that “Africa must be redeemed,” and “The Negro must be free” Men of Faith, Vision, Courage and Pur- pose Wanted Now, therefore, that the U, N.

BY ORDER MARCUS GARVEY, President-Genera) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1923 Actitud de Este Gobberno Sobre el Reconocimiento de Mélico por Le Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra A pesar de los rumores persistentes de que el reconocimiento formal del gobierno del general Obregón de Méjico era un hecho cumplido, los funciones del departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos desmintieron tal rumor, declarando que no habia cambio en la gituación meicana. Se hizo significar que el secretario de Estado Hughes no habia recibido todavía los textos de las decisiones recientes de la corte suprema respecto de los derechos de propiedad en Méjico y que era improbable que el reconocimiento se efectuara hasta que no se hubieran estudiado estas decisiones El Hombre No Presta Atención a Oraciones Ni a Peticiones—Si el Africa Ha de Ser Redlimida, el Negro Del Hemisferio Occidental Tiene Que Cooperar Con Su Abillidad Mecánica y Clentifica—Los Nativos en Su Lucha Por Libertad Hacen Uso de Piedras y Palos; Sus Opresores Se Valen de Aereoplanos y Otros Instrumentos de Guerra Modernos Para Reducirles a Sumisión Aunque el departamento de Estado desintiñito estos rumores procedentes de Wall street, de que Méljico habia sido reconocido secretamente, no desintiñito las noticias publicadas de que el reconocimiento del gobierno de Obregno era inminente. Una nueva rebellión por libertad acaba de desarrollarse en el sudoeste de Africa y los ingleses han de hacer uso de sus aereoplanos para atacarles desde arriba. Los nativos de Kenya, sudeste de Africa, se sublevaron poco tiempo ha y fueron reducidos a sumisión por la fuerza militar organizada. Les fué imposible competir con los ataques aereos y las cargas a la bayoneta de las fuerzas montadas. Aunque el secretario Hughes ha puesto en claro que la cuestión del reconocimiento es independiente del resultado de las negociaciones financieras de los banqueros con el secretario de Hacienda de la Huerta, se sabe que Washington sigue con mucha atención dichas conferencias. Se ha sugerido en centros bien informados que después del arreglo del pago de las obligaciones, se presentará ante el secretario Hughes la cuestion de un nuevo empréstito a Méjico antes de tomarse la decisión final del reconocimiento, pero persona en cuenta de la situación descarta tal probabilidad. El espíritu del pueblo africano por medio de estas dos revuluciones ha despertado un sentimiento de libertad, pero ese pueblo no está aun provisto de los elementos necesarios para obtenerla. Los que estamos algo asociado con la civilización moderna aceptamos la razón de que los nativos del continente africano nunca podrán redimir a su patria de ese modo. Si ellos quieren expulsar al invasor tienen que hacerlo de un modo científico. Con piedras y palos no podemos obtener independencia en esta época contemporánea; tenemos que hacer uso de los últimos modelos de artilleria, gases asficiantes y todos aquellos instrumentos sometidos a prueba en el combate moderno. Sabese que en las reuniones de Nueva York se sugiiría al ministro de la Huerta si podía inducir al presidente Obregón a hacer ciertas concesiones en cambio de otras de carácter financiero, pero este contest que no tenia poder del gobierno mejicano sino para traitar asuntos financieros y que cualquier acuerdo con los banqueros tenía que ser luego aprobado por Obregón. Es aconsejable que en vez de invertir nuestro tiempo persiguiendo solaz en los países y ciudades progresistas del continente americano, nos dediquemos a desarrollarnos científicamente, familiarizándonos con la composición de productos químicos los cuales puedan ser aplicados satisfactoriamente en conflictos tales como el que ocurre actualmente en el sudoeste del continente africano. Sábese por otra parte que el presidente Obregón ha escrito una carta a un funcionario del gobierno en la cual le hace presente que el ha ido lo más lejos posible para llegar a un acuerdo amigable con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos que no puede ir más lejos. Comprende que ha dado lo que es posible consistence con el honor nacional de Méjico, otorgando toda garantía razonable a la vida y la propiedad del lado allá del Rio Grande. Lo demás queda ahora por cuenta del presidente Harding y el secretario Hughes. La introducción de estos productos químicos y otros instrumentos de guerra modernos entre los nativos de Kenya les ha de colocar sin duda en mejor posición para manejar la actitud de los perturbadores de la naz en Africa. A Smuts y a otros tales no les hubiera siquo tan facil-el subyugar al africano si nuestros hermanos del continente hubieran podido usar un poco de fuego químico sobre los perturbadores de la libertad humana. El calor químico les calentaria lo suficiente para que realizaran que el mundo entero no está refrigerado y que en ciertos puntos del Africa puede hacer tanto calor como en los confines del infierno. Hace meses que el departamento de Estado declaró y reiteró que no insistiria con el presidente Obregon en la firma de un tratado previo al reconocimiento y ahora no está pendiente sino del estudio de las decisiones de la corte de Méjico sobre la no retroactividad del artículo 27 de la constitución, las cuales llegarán pronto al departamento de Estado. Con toda la civilización de este hemisferio occidental, el Negro pudiera aventajarse de mejor modo en el curso de una educación mas eficiente. En cualquier ciudad de America podemos encontrar instituciones en las cuales tenemos la oportunidad de desarrollarnos técnicamente. Podemos facilmente convertirnos en grandes mecánicos, mejores científicos y excelentes artesanos, conocimientos que podemos aplicar en no lejano dia ayudando a nuestros hermanos de Africa, lo cual consideramos como el mas sagrado de nuestros deberes. Una Comisión Dominicana Gestiona la Retirada de Las Tropas Norteamericanas Una comisión de la república Dominicana al frente de la cal figura el general Horacio Vásquez presidente que fué de esa república, y jefe del partido nacionalista, salió con dirección a Washington a fin de entrevistarse con el presidente Harding y el secertario de estado Hughes con animo de conseguir la retirada de las tropas norteamericanas de ocupación en Santo Domingo. En esta edad progresista nadie ha de prestar atención a oraciones, cánticos o peticiones. Del único modo que se nos podrá prestar atención alguna es arrojando bombas a mayor distancia que los demas y produciendo material químico que destruya con mas rapidez a los que intenten destruirnos. No podemos esperar que nuestros hermanos en Africa liberten el continente con ruegos y peticiones; el Africa será redimida por medio de los conocimientos científicos del Negro, afrontando el fuego con el fuego, afrontando la ciencia con la ciencia, afrontando cerebros con cerebros, afrontando determinación con mayor determinación. Además del general Horacio Vasquez forma parte de la comisión dominicana que va a Washington el Sr. Frederico Velasquez y Hernandez. ex-secretario de hacienda de la república dominicana. El objeto de la comisión domiacaana es lograr a la mayor brevedad posible la retirada de las tropas de los Estados Unidos destacadas en Santo Domingo. A ese fin los comisionados esperan entrevistarse con el presidente Harding y probablemente también con el secretario de estado Hughes a quienes expondrán las razones en que fundan suetición. Del mismo modo que la raza blanca, cualquier otra raza podrá plantar su soberania en la superficie de la tierra por medio de su poder en arte, en ciencia y en industria. Si queremos retener lo que legitimamente nos pertenecce tenemos que proveernos de la verdadera protección que requieran las circunstancias. Si el enemigo está provisto con cañones de gran alcance nada podriamos realizar con un arco y una flecha. Vivimos en una edad de verdadera materialización, en la cual el poder y solamente el poder domina. Los senadores Borah y King acompañarán a los delegados en sus gestiones oficiales. En Washington se unirá a los delegados el Dr. Francisco J. Peinado prominente dominicano quien durante varios años afos fué ministro plenipotenciario y enviado extraordinario de Santo Domingo en Washington. Los ildefes dominicanos Srea Federico Velaşque y Hernández y don Horacio Vazquez que son representantes de los partidos progresista y nacionalista respectivamente llegaron a esta ciudad procedentes de Santo Domingo via Puerto Rico. No nos desalienta por un momento las pérdidas ocasionadas a los nativos de Africa en sus esfuerzos por la adquisición de su independencia; tal ejemplo nos sirve de experiencia en la realización de que no es esta una época de palos y piedras, sino una edad de combate científico. Nada debemos emprender sin estar debidamente preparados de antemano. Amordazando a la Prensa Aspiramos a un mejor sistema de organización universal; queremos que el balsamo reconciliador purifique la confraternidad entre las razas y naciones del planeta, pero desgraciadamente la ambición se ha posejonado del sentimiento humano y vemos al hombre en actitud ostil destruyendo a su semejante, con el objeto de mejorar su propia condición. Tal ha sido la política seguida por las razas predominantes, doquiera hayan sentado su planta. Las palabras preclass empleadas por el presidente Harding n su conferencia con los corresponales de Washington significan menos que el criterio que revelaban. Rebeldoñese ante la crítica pública de un miembro de su gabinete, Mr. Dangherty, el presidente hablo, según el Philadelphia Public Ledger, de chantaglias-politicas que hablarán atender a su administración con su actitud de protesta contra Mr. Daugherty. Emiti el informe, que como editor del Marion Star habria con razon resentido, de que la prensa americana debería sobre tal clase de criticas poner los pedales. Esta es una manera de hablar extraordinaria, pero ha halla de acuerdo con el hecho inducable de que la comisión de la camara de representantes sobre la cuestión rusa ha eliminado una moción solicitando una investigación del caso de Mr. Daugherty. Esto no habria sido hecho si el presidente Harding hubiera descendó la investigación o siquiera hubiera estado dispuuesto a autorizarse. Sus defensores, en el momento en que el presidente trata de asir la dirección de su partido insistiendo en la imposición del gravamen del subsido marítimo. no pueden absolverle la dirección en el instante en que se trata de ataques contra su propio procurador general. Si los chantagistas políticos de la prensa han sido injustos al requerir que se investigue la capacidad de Mr. Daugherty, entre ellos estan periódicos republicanos como el Philadelphia North American, el Chicago Tribune, y el Globe, el Tribune y el Herald de Nueva York. Si en la sala de sesiones del congreso los chantagistas políticos han transgredido las conveniencias al buscar el fin de una situación en que aparece su aesophee y recelos el principal funcionario legal del gobierno, estan entre ellos republicanos como los autores de la moción perdida Woodruff-Johnson. Y en el comentario independiente de los ciudadanos americanos privados a quienes seria absurdo aplicar tales epitetos, no hay distinción de partidos. Si estimamos rectamente el caracter y juzgamos bien la conciencia de la prensa americana, esta desoír de cualquiera fuente que venga, por elevada que sea, la sugestión de que debe poner los pedales en lascriticas de errores de funcionarios públicos hasta que el error se halle en proceso de remedio. Es en vano que Mr. Daugertlyt ostentosamente se remangue para declarar la guerra al especuladores; es en vano que reserve cuarenta oficinas desde las que sus empleados van a hacer la campaifa contra los defraudadores durante la guerra; es en vano que planee el empleo de $500.000 en絸 seguir a personas todavía sin designar siquiera, en tanto que dirija estas actividades una persona que consiente en permanecer envuelta en una quube. Y es peor que inútl—provoca general disguito—el que un funciona. o p 'biico en tal situción vaya por todo el país predicando ante audiencias de abogados sobre el extendido espiritu de ilegalidad, del que, en la forma en que existe, la perdida de la fe en los encargados de administrar justicia seria un excitante de lo más peligroso. The World no escuchar ninguna admonición de la Casa Blanca para poner los pedales al discutir el caso Daugherty. Preferimos creer que si Mr. Harding empleo unas palabras tan circunstancialmente reproducidas, hizo en un momento de irritación y no de modo deliberado; pero en todo caso, por su propio bien y el de su elevado cargo es necesario ahora, más necesario que antes, que se determinen de modo autorizado las cualidades que capacitan al procurador general para su alto empleo. —N.

El Por Que Del Imperialismo *Por qué esta retribatia imperialista de colonias?* *Por qué desea Inglaterra las colonias alemanas del Africa?* *Demos un pequeño ejemplo como respuesta.* *Hase jamás oído de Nigeria, una insignificante colonia africana? Las exportaciones e importaciones junta, el comercio británico con Nigeria ascendió a cerca de ciento cuarenta y seis millones de dólares el año último, al presente tipo de cambio.* *Si Nigeria directamente vale ciento cincuenta millones de dólares anuales para Inglaterra—y otro tanto indirectamente—cuantó obtuvo Albión de una guerra que le concedió el Africa alemana del sudoeste, el Africa alemana del este, la Nueva Guinea alemana, las islas alemanas del Pacífico al sur del Ecuador, la Palestina y la Mesopotamia?* Nosotros hemos gastado en empréstitos a Liberia y en impuestos de guerra cuarenta mil millones de dólares para ganar la guerra. Esta permitió a Inglaterra hacer tales vastas anexiones. Custuro mil millones de nuestra moneda fueron prestados a la Gran Bretagna para pagar sus gastos de guerra y los bonos a sus soldados. Pero la Gran Bretagna está demasiado pobre para pagar intereses sobre nuestros préstamos y nosotros demasiado pobres para pagar bonos a nuestros soldados que ganaron para nosotros la guerra y para Inglaterra más de un million de millas cuadradas de nuevos territorios; cinco veces la superficie del imperio aleman en Europa.

El pontifice tiene en mientes el formular una protesta ante los Estados Unidos unidos en encuentra que sudamericanos son reténidos en cautiverio por las compaillas cucheras. La idea de que el sumo pontifice piena dirigiría a los Estados Unidos parece hacer suponer que existiera alguna compailla en este país a quien se imputara el cargo, aunque la agencia de noticias que de la información anterior no los específicas, ni tampoco concluye en que el papa se dirigiría al pals en donde se comete el alegado ultrajue, caso de que resultara cierto. Homenaje a un Patriota Puertorriquejo Con motivo de rendirle merecido homenaje a la memoria de José de Diego en el cuarto aniversario de su muerte, la asociación independientista de la ciudad de San Juan ha organizado un certamen literario que se llevara a cabo de acuerdo con un lucido programa. Los temas en verso son un "canto a la independencia de Puerto Rico, un soneto a José de Diego y un canto a la bandera de Puerto Rico." El tema en prosa será un estudio sobre la personalidad de José de Diego en sus aspectos de literato, politico, tribuno y legislador. El dia 3 del próximo Julio se publicarán los titulos de los trabajos enviados al certainen y antes del diez de Julio se publicará el resultado. El acto solemne tendrá lugar en la noche del 16 de Julios y entonces se harán las adjudicaciones. Continua Las Arbitraterades en la India Pocas noticias salen ahora de la India. La censura está realizando su tarea de modo concienzudo. Pero aparecen en los diarios ingleses correspondencias incidentalmente, que dan indicaciones de los que esté sucediendo bajo la política más estricta del gobierno posterior a la prehensión de Ghandi. Un gran número de partidarios—el calculo más bajo es de 10.000—ha sido detenido bajo la acusación de sedición y la mayor parte de ellos han sido reducidos a prisión. El resultado es que el movimiento indú de cooperación se halla ahora virtualmente sin jefes. Ghandi, cuando se le hizo dictador, recibió facultades para nombrar a su sucesor, pero nunca la ejercitó. Tal vez no tuviera confianza suficiente en ninguna de las personas que todavía se hallaban fuera de prisión entonces. Los los jefes prominentes han sido encarcelados. Su causa está ahora sin jefes de ninguna clase. No obstante continua en existencia el congreso indio. Cuenta con un programa positivo. Trataria, según el mismo, de regular todos los gastos militares de la India y se propone ejercer presión para obtener el status de domino. Sus espiritus directores tienen ya paoca pacienza para la resistencia pasiva de Ghandi. Ahora están requieriendo el apoyo de los no-cooperadores para hacer que la India dirija sus asuntos en su propia casa. Bibliotecas en Los Jardines de la Ciudad de México El jefe del departamento de bibliotecas de la secretaria de educación, gestion ante al ayuntamiento metropolitano el necesario permiso para tomar en los jardines públicos el terreno necesario para la construcción de kioscos-bibliotecas. Dichos kioscos, que serán construidos por cuenta del gobierno, serán enteramente modernos, contarán con un servicio bigiénico y una pequeña biblioteca que servirá y atenderá eficazmente el departamento referido. La comunidad acepto con placeme la iniciativa, y por ello ya se han librado las ordenes al ingeniero constructor para que haga los planos de los "kioscos-bibliotecas," a efecto de iniciar cuanto antes su construcción. El primer kloso-bibloteca se levantará en la alameda, cerca del humidiculo de Juárez. Después se construirá otro en el jardín "Carmona y Valle" frente al templo de Santo Domingo. Este kloster quédará cera de varias escaleras y en el los estudiantes de la facultad de medicina y da otros phantaseles encontrará las obras de texto y de consulta necesaria.

En la biblioteca de la facultad de jurisprudencia, que está formada exclusivamente de obras de derroche, va a ser instalada una sección de obras de cultura general y de literatura, contingente que fue enviado del departamento de bibliotecas. Otra Turba en el Estudo de Michigan Trata de Apoderarse de un Convicto Para Lincharle La serenidad y sangre fría de sheriff Hugh Silsby, del condado de Ingham, evitó a ultima hora que una turba de residentes en Jackson, que se presentó de improviso frente a las puertas de la carcel, situada en Mason, se apoderase de George Straub, convicto de haber aseinado a Alice Mallet, de Jackson, con animo de lincharlo. Cuando los vecinos se reunieron frente a la carcel creyendo que el delincuente se encontraba en ella, hallaron al sheriff Silsby en uno de los balcones de lafachada anterior de la carcel comodamente sentado en una butaca con los pie cruzados apoyados en la baranda y fumando tranquilamente su plpa. "Venimos en busca de Straub", rugio la turba. El sheriff, sin inmutarse, siguió fumando. "Y nos opoderaremos de el", repitido el eco de centenares de voce. El sheriff-conf parsimonia sacace la pipa de la boca diritigendose a las masas, dijo: "No está en esta carcel". "Queremos verlo", repitido la turba. "Se han cerrado ya las puertas de la cañecé" dijo el sheriff. y no está permitida la entrada. El que lo intente se expone a tragarse el plomo almacenado", y sin afadir nuevas explicaciones, suponiendo que los vecinos se habian enterado del significado de sus palabras siguió fumando tranquilamente. "Me parece que dice la verdad" dijo uno de los cabecillas. "Yo me voy". Por unanimidad decidieron retirarse. Pocos momentos después no quedaban en las inmediaciones más que la polavreda levantada en el camino por los que se retiraban, merceda con el humo de la papa del sheriff, quien con su serenidad logro impedir una tragedia. Comentarios de la Prensa Cubana Sobre la Misión Del General Crowder "La Discución" de la Habana en un editorial que titula "Actuimos frente al peligro" con el subtítulo de "Las responsabilidades de los poderes naciales y las reiteradas advertencias de los Estados Unidos", dice entre otras cosas lo siguiente: Una nueva entrevista del envio especial del presidente de los Estados Unidos con el jefe de la nacion cubana, ha causado verdadera sensación en el animo público, a lo que ha contribuido tal vez la circunstancia de que acompaña al general Crowder el encargado de negocios de su pals, acreditado cerca del gobierno de nuestra república. ¿Qué pasó en esa reserva conferencia en palacio? La indole de esos cambios de impresiones o de estos trámites de un sabor originalismo, porque tiene algo de diplomía y de ingrencia en los asuntos internos autorizadas por una clausura constitucional nuestra, desde luego la colocan fura de la poquia informativa corriente. Estamos, pues frente a uno de esos casos en que la presión es lo único que puede orientarnos dentro de la certeza de que detrás existe una grava realidad.

Rev. William C. Campbell, pastor, the members of Most Worshipful King Solemon Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M. Isa, of the State of New York, adjourned to their rooms and held their annual election of officers and physician. Avoid anything which savors or approaches amateur doctoring for your own sake and that of all nurses, for quackery of any sort is held in contempt by all right thinking people.

That is because the distinction which exists between the qualifications and work of doctors and nurses The service at Little Mount Zion was one of the most notable in the history of the juriedistion. Rev. Campbell preached a powerful sermon. Sister A. Verna Wells sang a beautiful solo, and Sister Hasel W. Payne was at her best. Others who distinguished themselves at the service were Brother Stith Farham, R. W. Eddie Walker, John A. Charies, John Ball and Del Delfinoe V. Jaccum, delegate to the grand lodge of Vera Grus and Yucatan, State Matron Julia R. Wilson also delivered a wonderful address, and, as usual, Grand Master John H. Smith's remarks were full of learning and ripeness of thought. It is, indeed, regrettable that owing to lack of space the full stenographic report of what Brother Smith had to say cannot be published. A few days after the service the following officers were elected: Del John S. Smith, $3d Grand Master, and Prof. Louis Toune Colon from the Spanish lodge "Sol de las Antilles 10" Grand Secretary. ETHICS OF NURSING (Continued) For Members of the Universal African Black Cree Nurse BY ISABELLA LAWRENCE, R. N. The nurse's duty toward her patient is a full measure of devotion, whether she happens to be appreciative or irritable. No one is at her best when suffering. Shakespeare understood this when he wrote: "We are not ourselves When nature, being oppress'd, commands the mind Courtesy, gentility and patience under all circumstances characterize the true nurse. In order that the nurse may have a clear idea of her duty toward the attending physician it is necessary for her to realize that though the physician's object and purpose is identical with her own—the patient's welfare—it is the physician's duty to find out what is the matter with the patient, and also his business to determine what line of treatment to pursue, and the nurse's duty to administer the treatment. For example: The doctor decides it will benefit the patient to have a mustard paste over his right hand. It is the nurse's duty to know how to make a mustard paste and how to apply it. The nurse must observe carefully and intelligently for the purpose of reporting accurately what happens in the physician's absence. The higher trained the powers of observation in this direction, the more valuable would be the assistance to patient PUBLIC INVITATION THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION PEOPLES PUBLIC INVITATION TO THE THIRD ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD All Negro lodges, clubs, fraternal a organizations that are truly interested in ment of the Negro race are requested to by the Third Annual International Con Peoples of the world, to assemble in N States of America, from August 1 to elusive. All societies, organizations, clubs and in the names of their delegates to the Re should be in New York by the evening All Negro lodges, clubs, fraternal societies, churches and organizations that are truly interested in the higher development of the Negro race are requested to send each a delegate to the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the world, to assemble in New York City, United States of America, from August 1 to 31, night and day inclusive. All societies, organizations, clubs and churches shall send in the names of their delegates to the Registrar. All delegates should be in New York by the evening of the 31st of July, so as to be able to attend the grand opening on the 1st of August, in which 150,000 deputies, delegates and members will take part. All members of churches should see that their pastors attend this convention, so as to render them able to properly interpret the movement in their community. After this convention no Negro leader will be able to say that he doesn't know anything about the Universal Negro Improvement Association movement. Ignorance is no excuse of world changes. 1. NEGENTRAR UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION We are not ourselves and physician. Avoid anything which savors or approaches amateur doctoring for your own sake and that of all nurses, for quackery of any sort is held in contempt by all right thinking people. Occasionally a well mean, praise is ill expressed thus: Nurse Blank is "almost as good as a doctor." That is because the distinction which exists between the qualifications and work of doctors and nurses are not always appreciated by the public. Criticism of the attending physician cannot be too strongly condemned. The nurse's duty to the household wherein she serves: The nurse must bear in mind that it is because she is necessary to the patient's well being that she is temporarily part of the household, and endeavor to fit in and not disturb the peaceful routine of the house more than is necessary; in other words, be tactful and adaptable. Avoid gossiping, especially about the people whom you have nursed; it is a breach of trust and good manners. THE VILLAGE LYNCH-SMITH (With apologies to Longfellow) Andrea Razafkeriinfo Under a spreading chestnut-tree A red-eyed cracker stands (A champion of democracy) A rope is in his hands And a veteran warrior is he Of southern Ku Klux Klan. His head is hammer-shaped and long And brains as a pan His brow is wet with moon-shine sweat He loves to "rush the can" And boast that common decency He owes no colored man. Week in, week out, from morn till night You can hear him madly blow Against social equality; Yet he will styly go And hound some helpless colored girl When the evening sun is low. He goes on Sunday to the church And makes a lot of noise Proclaiming Christianity— Yes, you can hear his voice Singing in the village choir And it makes his wife rejoice. It sounds to her like her father's voice Coaching a pair of dice And with her powder puff she wipes The eye-balls from her eyes. Haping, hanging and burning Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees some crime begun Each evening sees it close; Hatred attempted, hatred done Has earned a night's repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my cracker friend For the lesson thou has taught And it is this; your southern pride Means absolutely naught— Unless it means illiteracy And the evils you have wrought. ON TO THE INTERNATIONAL OF THE NEGRO THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1922 A BY MENRY F. DOWNING (Former United States Consul at St. Paul de Loanda, Author of "The American Cavalryman" and "A Short History of Liberia." The United States Government after much heated discussion in the House and the Senate, has loaned $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia. Liberia is situated on the west coast of Africa between 4 degrees 22 minutes and 8 degrees 50 minutes north latitude, and 7 degrees 38 minutes and 11 degrees 32 minutes west longitude. Her coast line begins at the Mano River, a few miles southeast of Freetown, Sierra Leona, and extends to the Cavalia River, a distance of 350 miles. Her total area is about 43,000 square miles with a population estimated at 1,800,000 natives and 25,000 civilized made up of Americo-Liberians, West Indians and absorbed natives. It is almost as large as the State of New York, which has 49,204 square miles; it is a little larger than Virginia; it is almost twice as large as West Virginia. Potentially Rich American money used to help Liberia remain upon the map need not be wasted; on the contrary, rightly used, it would increase many hundredfold, meanwhile make the little republic so attractive because of her prosperity that American Negroes would flock to her by the thousands. These first emigrants endeavored to NOTICE To All Divisions and Members of the Universal African Black Cross Nurses All Black Cross Nurse units must secure competent instructors to teach in first aid, community health work and home hygiene and care of the sick. Instructors shall begin with instruction in first aid, procuring anatomical charts for demonstration work, also bandages, splints and compresses. On conclusion of courses of instruction in first aid arrangement shall be made for examination, subject to the approval of the Central Committee. Successful students to obtain certificates of proficiency. The instructor shall grade the unit into three classes—A. B and C—after a literary test. Any member of a unit with the necessary qualification who has not passed the age limit must be advised and encouraged to take a regular three-year course in nursing in a recognized training school for nurses. Uniforms The uniforms of the Universal African Black Cross Nurse shall consist of: Pin—Black Cross Nursery pin to be worn on left brimstet. Shoes—White to be worn with white uniforms. Black to be worn with green uniforms. Stockings—White to be worn with white uniforms; Black to be worn with green uniforms. PLEASE CALL FOR YOUR INQUIRY Let us do your washing.

We do Wet Wash, Rough Dry and Finished Work UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY establish themselves at a place called Campelar on Bherbro island, a short distance southeast of Freetown. Unhealthy Campelar killed many of the emigrants. Those who were left alive were taken down the coast and landed on a small islet, Perseverance Island, in the Mesurado River, close to its mouth. Fresh immigrants arriving on this island become overcrowded, and the colonists crossed to the mainland and founded Monrovin, the new capital of Liberia. As an Independent State As an Independent State In the matter of natural resources Liberia is far richer than any other land of similar size in all West Africa. Her forests are full of mahogany teak, ebony and other valuable hard woods, also woods suitable for conversion into commercial lumber. Rubber abounds in many varie. Palm oil trees grow wild. This kind of tree could be cultivated for exceedingly large cash returns. Her forests are full of game, her rivers, lagoons and bays teem with many kinds of fish in fact, Liberia's undeveloped wealth is immense. Native unskilled labor is plentiful and cheap. It lacks the quality of continuity, but that fault could easily be cured The Capital City Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, is situated at the mouth of the Mesurado River, a sluggish lagoon connected with the beautiful St Paula River by Stockton Creek, so named after an American naval officer who served the Republic well in an hour of her great distress. The city has about 2,500 civilized inhabitants, made up of America-Liberiana, West Indians and absorbed natives. It contains several churches—Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, etc., also several schools, all doing excellent work. Many of the private residences are quite imposing in appearance, and very comfortable, with numerous airy large rooms distributed over two capacious floors, surrounded by wide verandas protected from the sun by green Venetian blinds. The streets are broad, and they run at right angles with each other along and at the two sides of a long, undulating hill, which begins at the jungle-edged interior ward lins of the Courtesy of The New York World. city, and ends at the base of an abrupt ascent which pushes its rocky nose into the Atlantic Ocean, an which on its height contains a small fort and a somewhat ancient lighthouse. On one of its sides the city descends steeply to its only business thoroughfare, called "The Waterside," containing the Custom House, the Post Office and the warehouses of foreign and Americo-Liberian merchants. On its other side the city declines gently and lengthily to a stretch of ocean-edged sand, called the Long Beach, where Monrovia's elite are wont to assemble after the heated hours of the day. 8ober and Well-Behaved. Monrovia has no parks, neither has she drinking galoons, nor theatres, nor moving picture houses, nor even public libraries. But her citizens are not ill-informed, and they are well behaved and sincerely polite. They practice sobriety, but discourage total abstinence. Liberia's natives southeast of Monrovia are mostly pagans. It is said that some of them are cannibals, but no evidence is extant proving this statement. The Veys (kinfolk of the Mandingo people) occupy territory north and east of Monrovia. They are mostly Mohammedans, with a spikening of pagans. Christian missionaries are at work among them, however, even as they are among the pagan tribes further south, and are winning many from paganism, and from the crescent to the cross. If the Christian church continues to exert herself in this responsive field undoubtedly not many years will have passed away before all the natives in Liberia become Christianized. Their Neighbors, the Veys Although the Veys are called savages, they are anything but savage. While they practice the superstitions common to all West African natives (some of the white and black civilized too), at the same time they practice many of the arts and handicrafts of civilization, and are eager in the pursuit of knowledge.

They have invented an alphabet which they use in their schools, and many Veys scholars, possess libraries containing works dealing with medicine, law, theology, music, poetry, fiction and other subjects. They man-feature durable cloth of wild cotton, and color it artistically with indelible dyes made by themselves, and which the most skilled d. emakers, in Europe cannot successfully rival. Moreover, they tan skins into a silklike softness and gloss, and fashion the leather into ornamental handbags, sandals, sceebards, and other useful and beautiful things. They smelt iron and shape it into farring implements, sworc and daggers. They are jewellers, shoemakers, potters, etc. Negro officers of the United States Army are doing excellent service in Liberia delimiting her boundaries and commanding a frontier police force of natives, to whom they have given an American military training. And white Americans, customs and financial experts are in Liberia, working honestly and earnestly for the Republic's good. Soon industrialist now absent will be operating in the country. Roads will be built, harbic, improved and Liberia will reach that prosperity for the arrival of which her white and black founders gave of their beat—even their lives.
