No. 20 LETTER WAR AMERICA FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Greeting: A couple of weeks ago a group of white men from Omaha, Neb., affiliated with the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan sent a letter to a Negro newspaper which was subsequently reproduced in the Negro press of America. Since the publication of the letter I have been searching for the comments of the so-called Negro leaders, but I have not yet come across any, although the subject matter of the letter was of such vital importance to the 15,000,000 Negroes of the United States of America. The following is a reprint of the letter: Omaha, Nebraska Mr. Negro Editor: Your ideas are all wrong here. What you advocate here must not and shall not be as long as there are any white men in this country. White supremacy is our slogan and we are going to rule this country without the aid or consent of any Negro or bunch of Negroes, no matter how smart they may be. You may as well put away the fool notions expressed. This is a white man's country and we are checking up on you while you are dreaming and having a good time. You've lost out politically and you can't recover. We've put the thin edge of the wedge under Oregon and Omaha comes next. New York will follow, for we white are determined to eliminate the Negro from State and National politics. Your Dyers et al. are just stringing you Negroes for your votes. There is no way to enforce that bill. The white man couldn't live who attempted it. We are one family, North and South, and, like you Negroes, we sympathize with each other; our lives and liberties are menaced by an alien race. Your tall talk will not get the Negro any further than he has gotten. There can be no Imperio in Imperium here. We haven't the space. Old as the Hills The above statements and declaration by the white gentlemen of Omaha are not strange to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because in our study of American life we decided five years ago that the above statements and declaration were the policy of white America toward the Negro. We did not wait for the gentlemen of the Ku Klux Klan to make the statement in June, 1922, but we immediately in 1917 organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League with the hope of providing a final home for the Negro after he will have been driven from the American continent by the great white race that now inhabits the continent and intends to do so forever. Negro leadership in the western world is bankrupt. Our Du Boises, Johnsons et al. are living in the air; they are as far from understanding the Negro problem of America and the western world as a monkey in understanding how far Mars is from Jupiter. Black and White When men who claim to be sociologists and race leaders cannot see (mixing with American life for the last fifty years) the result of the conflict between white and black in the United States of America, it shows plainly that they are either blind, willfully negligent or positively selfish. I write of these men not because I have anything against them, because I do not care much about men. I deal with measures, but they, at the present time, are engaged in an insidious propaganda to make the American Negro believe that there is going to be a "sweet bye and bye" in a closer confraternity between black and white. For that reason, therefore, all Negroes should ignore all other organizations and join the one that they are leaders of, leading under the direction of white officers. I desire to bring this to the attention of the Negro in America. Three hundred years ago the black man was at peace with himself and the world in his native home in Africa. He did not disturb or interfere with any one. White men left their homes in Europe uninvited, went to Africa, seized hundreds of thousands and millions of All Roads from the Four Corners of the 31st of August, 1922. If You Haven't Seen Me Be in Line for the Parade at 1.30 P.M., August When 50,000 Persons Will Be Present to Hea NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 ARNING NEGRO S WHITE MAN RACE J ERS ARE SILENT ON PUBLICATION OF STATEMENT "WHITE SUPREMACY IS OUR SLOGAN," DECLARES WRITER PROPAGANDA OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION BEARING FRUIT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE HAS WHITE OFFICERS WHO DICTATE POLICY blacks, shackled them, placed them aboard ships, carried them thousands of miles away into the western world and disposed of them as slaves. They held them as slaves in America for two hundred and fifty years, and in the West Indies for two hundred and thirty years. The Negro, during that period of time, cried to high heaven for help and to white men for mercy. There was no mercy; but, providentially, for the turning of the tide of war in the United States of America, Lincoln emancipated the Negro fifty-seven years ago, not because of his desire to help black humanity, but because of securing the success he desired during the time of war. Eighty-four years ago Victoria of England, through the failure of the West Indian sugar crops and by the introduction into Great Britain of German beet sugar, which ultimately inflicted a loss upon the West Indian Negro planters and slave owners, signed an emancipation proclamation that freed the hundreds of thousands of slaves in the West Indies. The Lesson of the Lion Emancipation was not a voluntary act on the part of the white man in America or the West Indies. In America it was a war measure; in the West Indies it was an economic necessity. After fifty-seven years of freedom in America, and eighty-four years of freedom in the West Indies, we still find Negro leaders, direct descendants of the slaves, advocating that Negroes should place themselves under the leadership of the same man who made him a slave three hundred years ago. Now can you tell me in the name of God where the logic comes in? Can any sociologist, can any great scholar, whether he be from Harvard or Berlin, justify such an act? Now let us place a common sense proposition before you. Suppose a lion was stationed at an alleyway and you attempted to pass that alleyway and the lion seized you and dislocated an arm; providentially you got away without any further injury than the loss of an arm. If you desired subsequently, after losing the first arm, to travel in a similar direction again, and there was another alleyway where there was no lion, while at the first alleyway is the same lion who attempted to devour you; which of the alleyways would you attempt to pass by on the second venture: the one where the lion is or the one where the lion is not? Even the child would elect to pass by the alleyway where there was no lion, because, bitten once, the child naturally becomes twice shy. Yet we have so-called intelligent and intellectual Negroes who know that three hundred years ago a certain individual made slaves of them and kept them as such for two hundred and fifty years, whipped them and brutalized them without any mercy, and by some stroke of luck or the guidance of Providence they got away and Globe Lead to LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK.

If that is all the intelligence our sociologists and scholars from Harvard and Berlin can demonstrate, then God Almighty save us from the consequence. 'A White Man's Country The above letter of the Klansmen is sufficiently emphatic to convince every intelligent Negro of the attitude of White America, if the preaching of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last five years has not already done so. There is no disputing the fact that America is a white man's country. It has become so by conquest, in that the white man conquered the Indian, exterminated him and took possession of his property. That which he has worked for, suffered for, and died for he is not going to give up to Negroes under any circumstances, caring not how Du Bois and Johnson and that class of men preach, caring not how many Dyers anti-lynching bills are passed. In spirit and in truth America shall be a white man's country. The best thing for Negroes to do is to establish a country of their own. Africa awaits us. So many of us say that we have lost nothing in Africa, yet Africa is the land from which we were robbed three hundred years ago. When we were taken from that grand, old country the statement was given out that it was for the purpose of civilizing and Christianizing us with the hope that we ourselves would develop a civilization that would ultimately bestow a benefit upon our own homeland. After Du Bois and Johnson have been in America for three hundred years and have imbibed the white man's civilization, the very man who made us slaves for all that period of time, they now tell us that our only hope and future rest with living alongside of him, when Nature calls us back to our own home, yes, to our own dear motherland, to go back to her and give to her that, which we have acquired and imbibed during our three hundred years of sojourn in a foreign land. Can Du Bois and Johnson resist the temptation of occupying an office on Fifth Avenue, New York, and in living in fine apartment houses or private mansions on St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, for the duty of going back to Africa as pioneers and helping, with the higher intelligence they possess, in building up a country of our own? Gentlemen, will you resist the temptation? Will you forget just for a while the beautiful lights of Broadway, the comforts afforded by a 1920 or 1921 model Sedan, and the temptation of a well-furnished parlor with Persian rugs, and go to Africa, even now, and help to fell trees, help to clear the land and build up the city, build up the nation and extend the bounds of the empire? When you sociologists can apply your intellectuality to the higher development of your own race, then, and then only, will you be appreciated by those of us who can in a way foretell the dangers of the future if the Negro does not get together now. An Internal Struggle The fight with the American and Western Negro is not with the Ku Klux Klan of America, or with the other white people of America, the fight with the Negro is with himself to bring about a united sentiment, a united race, with a common object in view. My travels throughout America reveal to me that the bitterest enemy of the Negro is not the white man, is not the Ku Klux Klan, but the Negro himself. The many places where I have spoken, and where I have been confronted with embarrassments, where my police captains of this or the other city would try to interfere with the holding of my meetings, were all brought about, not by the white people of those communities, but by jealous, petty, small-minded Negroes trying to create the wrong impression in that community against the Universal Negro Improvement Association simply because they could not tolerate the idea of seeing any Negro movement other than those that they are head of prosper in any way. Not an N. A. A. C. P. Attack This, my message of this week, must not be interpreted as an attack against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, because I say I deal with measures, not men. I personally believe that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People can accomplish a great deal in America, but it must be properly guided. I cannot see the reasonableness of fifteen million intelligent black people allowing a few white men and white women to dictate to them through their own Negro organization the policy that they should permit for their own behavior. It reminds me of the proposition of getting a link to prejudice based on organization of cows, or a bear, or a wolf in prejudice based on organization of men, or a tiger to preclude over an organization of dogs. Negroes can not have THE SITUATION IN ST. CROIX A Glimpse at Conditions in the Virgin Islands of the U. S. A. The drive against democracy still continues in the island of the Holy Cross which, as its name suggests, was once considered "a little bit of heaven," but which a few carpet-baggers from the mainland are doing their best to convert into a sample of the other place. The screed which was published recently by F. R. Shribling in the New York Evening Post was intended as a propaganda preparation for a carefully planned onlaught on the good relations existing between the majority of the whites and the black people of St. Croix. The financiers who recently bought the Evening Post belong to the same group of tropical profitseers so ably represented by the National City Bank in whose financial interests the rape of Haiti was affected, and who, under the name of "The Bank of Liberia," have "guaranteed" the government loan of $8,000,000 to that stricken country on terms more disastrous than those which had been offered by Woodrow Wilson's "cracker" administration. When the privileges of the Danish West Indian Bank expires the National City Bank expects to succeed to them, and the Stirbling articles are to be followed by others from other hands to convince white Christian America that the black natives are brutes and that brutality is the only effective way of dealing with them. It was from behind such a smoke-screen of propaganda preparation that the present regime in Haiti emerged. In the meanwhile Mr. Stirbling's employers are doing their best to create dissension among the Negroes from which they hope to profit, and they have already found a few willing tools to work with. From the Jerusalem "War Cry" of June 1 of the year 23 A. D. we learn that young C. Judas lacarit was a young man of somewhat shady antecedents. He had been twice convicted in the provincial courts of Galilee of making free with other people's money, and had forged checks for several small amounts on the Bank of Jericho (see Petrus Petronibus vs. Sodal Galli Haggoim, in Leg. Cod. Augustus Imp.). Yet when the moguls of the Abundin wanted to do to death one whose work they hated, they decided that Judas was "a fine Jewish fellier" and as "respectable" as themselves. We disclaim any hidden intention of attempting a comparison, but when we find white americans in fit grove using O. Octavius Granado, who we understand is a disbarred Negro lawyer, to destroy the good work of D. Hamilton Jackson, the labor leader of that island, we cannot help indulging a reminiscent smile. For Granado is known in New York and remembered by many people, especially those of the Danish West Indian Bavarian Society who are still anxious to get an accounting of the moneys which they entrusted to Granado as treasurer of the organization some years ago. When the president of that society called on him with the proper drafts to secure the cash to pay sink members, Granado ducked out through a back door. Appointment after appointment was made, but Granado, according to report, evaded them all, and finally flitted away to Boston with the funds still in his possession. Eventually he left the country. Oddly enough the funds left at the same time. Neither of them has returned since. However, among the coterie of American "crackers" in St Croix, small matters of this sort are no bar to respectability, as a tool, so long as the tool can be used against one who is acknowledged as a capable leader of the black people. These "crackers" are already contributing money to enable Granady and his yoke-fellow Chabert td start a rival newspaper to off-set the influence of Jackson's daily, "The Herald," and district and divide the people. At last reports, however, the people were preparing to give the cold shoulder to "the Judas Journal" when it makes its appearance. That is, to buycott it and leave it to be read only by the two black editors and their handful of white friends. One can see from this that Granady and Chabert are what we call "white men's siggers" on the mainland, poor pawns in the game which is being played by their more powerful masters. In this game the courts are also being used to get results. Although Granady and Chabert are avowed anamies of the labor union and did their best to wreck it, financially and otherwise, yet in the legal fight now being waged for the control of the labor union's bank, Judge McKean is handing over the bank as a sort of wedding present to these two worthies by appointing them as reservists of the property. This outrage is in rank, it stinks to heaven; yet it is being perpetrated in the name of American law and justice. Just the other day, on account of a new lawsuit by the judge of the police court, an innocent man was sent to his death. The judge in his heart of hearts knew that the defendant was innocent, but the general hat is, and because this defendant was convicted for the complaint, he wanted to please Granady, both being of the same ilk. This must decide by Payne was the name of this poor man. Fenthruil himself being murdered by two policemen, the thief will go down in the pages of the Greek history and will be named for Fenthruil. dicary) offers a solution for most of the trouble of a serious sort in the island today." That is why the light of a pitiless publicity on this side should be centered on these irresponsible obig爭garc; for if they believe that their deeds are covered by the obscurity of the corner of our empire on which their stage is set they will be tempted to continue their perilous pranings to the detriment of the island's welfare and the great damage of white American prestage. After all, St. Croix is not Haytii. It is a part of the United States and deserves to be suvferred accordingly. But the plot to Prussianize the little island is at least six months old. Its details were divulged to Mr. Stribling when he was in the island, although even its outlines are still unrevealed to the native white and to those American whites who are known to be honest and fair-minded to Negroes. It was discussed over the tea-table of Governor E. Mont Reilly, of Porto Rico, and involved the attempt to join the Virgin Islands to Porto Rico as an administrative unit and thus enable "crackers" to beat down the workgiving to 20 cents a day, and "bust up" the labor union altogether. These and other ignoble intentions were learned by the writer only because Governor Reilly (who is coming back from Porto Rico in thinly-velled disgrace) sometimes gets into a certain interesting condition in which the wits are out, the tongue waga, and a very light colored man can be mistaken for white. The plot involves also a very neat stab in the back for the present Governor of the Virgin Islande—which he will doubtless appreciate someday when his eyes are opened. The proper procedure for the thousands of Virgin Islanders over here is to take the matter direct to Congress by way of the Democratic representatives from New York City who have already expressed a willingness to see Justice dons them. A great petition to Congress praying for relief from the evils of "Naval" government should be got up as speedily as possible. For the three islands are being governed under "An Act to Provide a Temporary Government for the Virgin Island," which was intended to last only "until Congress shall provide for the government of said island." And if Congress is adequately urged it can legislate to abolish the present disastrous mismatch and establish in its place a permanent, decent and orderly government such as is proper for an American colony. The Virgin Islanders over here must act speedily. They must link up with their people in the islands—not by way of dictating to them, but in a brotherly spirit of mutual help. They must show that they have learnt a lesson from last year's ill-starred "expedition," steer clear of silly self-seekers and flannel-mouthed gabblers, enlist their men of intellect and public-spirit (they have already tried the other kind), and show to the world that they can still produce able and unselfish leaders like the late Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden. The present crisis calls for skillful management. Only with such management can they utilize the political and public forces of this country and score such triumphs as the people of Porto Rico have already won. GOLDENWEISER GROUPS RACIAL PROBLEMS OF AMERICA PROVIDENCE, R. I., June 14.—Pure races and pure cultures are an illusion, Alexander A. Goldenweiser, A lecturer in the New York School of Social Research, said in an address today before the National Conference of Social Work here. All races and local subracial types are the products of physical mixture and all cultures the result of assimilation, he declared. "The radio-cultural problems of the United States fall into two main groups." Mr. Goldenweiser said. "The major group comprises the Negro, the Japanese and the Jewish problems; the minor group consists of the problems presented by the French, Germans, Italiana, Slavs, etc. "Of the major radio-cultural problems, that of the Negro is the most serious and, in fact, tragic one. Our efforts should be concentrated on three issues—complete legal equalization of the white and the Negro, educational propaganda purporting to convince both groups of the advantages of economic co-operation, and the imparting of knowledge both among Negroes and whites of the facts about racial traits and cultural capacity. "The Asiaatic, mainly Japanese, problem is at present restricted to the Pacific Coast. Prudence is rapidly on the increase. Here it is important to impart the realization of the facts of physical racial mixtures, in particular that no harm is to be feared by either group from intermarriage. In the second place, efforts must be made to raise the standard of living of the Asiaatic. And, finally, a policy of international good-will, especially with reference to education, is bound to reef favorably. "The problem of the Jew in a new city in America. It is necessarily restricted to cities, and the East. Prudence is on the Japanese." THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 1. 1922 "Africa for the Africans" Is Negroes' Cry for a Larger Lite BY A. H. MALONEY Those who avert that the Negro should work out his ultimate salvation where he is (by "fear and trembling" or by force), have arrayed themselves against those who insist that the sphere of his final glory is in Africa. Like the Jews of New Testament times, they would have no dealing with the Samaritans, except possibly, the dealing of wordy blows. But they are wrong. They remind one of the proverbial "slimp" who would cut off his nose to spite his face. Concentration upon any one position to the entire exclusion of every other, where life is involved, does not make for the common good. Voluntary self-selction might bring personal satisfaction to the hermit. It does not help society. Mono-mania is a phase of dementia. The man who regards a phenomenon with no reference to its antennae, to its reactive relations is either a genius or a fanatic. And both of these are of a kind in this, that neither is at any great remove from lunacy. Darwin, the scientist, was so engrossed in his specialty that his artistic faculties from sheer disuse suffered atrophy and died. Here was a towering intellect who actually responded to life as would a cripple to labor. Had Darwin been a little less obsessed with his single quest he have been able to bequeath to posterior the boon of the discovery of "the missing link." He might have found it where he never took the time to look for it. He might have found it probably in himself. But over against Darwin there is an Edison who shows himself a simple application to the treaspass as one with authority in the region of psychology. The eye can take in only one surface of a given plane at the same time. But the man of common sense will neither deny the existence of the other side because he can't see it, nor try to explain it or describe it, with that degree of finality which comes with consistent toll and painstaking investigation. Men who have contented themselves with burning up their energy on one point are ill-formed men. The fanatic pursues his phantom to the exclusion of everything else and ends by making of himself an object of ridicule, and prejudicing the judgment of men against the thing in which he is interested. The difference between the gonius and the fanatic is mainly a pragmatic one. Great men are well-proportioned personalities. E. P. Roe has a very significant title to one of his many beautiful books. He calls it "Near to Nature's Heart." Well-developed personalities are such because they live "near to Nature's heart." As we think of such personalities two men come to our mind at once. They are John Burroughs and Jam a Cardinal Gibbons. They were men with a passion for mental and moral frankness, open mindedness and honesty. They tried to regard life from every angle and they manifested a spirit of tolerance in every issue that carried the carmarks of vitality. Now in the matter of leadership there is the ever-present danger of so magnifying one's own peculiar position as to make the other's position appear to be the other's opposite of that which is reasonable. Such an attitude will, sooner or later, hurt both the leader and his cause. Truth, like life, has an inherent aversion to being dictated unto as to the method or the manner of its manifestation. Not many years ago we used to hear our political campaign orators wax eloquent in praise of the Republican party, capping their climax with the words "the Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea." The expression has the air of finality about it; it reminds one of a dogma. And like a dogma it represents the weakest element in its order. A critical study of the history of doctrine will reveal that dogmas represent those elements of faith which by virtue of their weakness and immobility can be easily captured and embalmed in empty phrases. The vital elements of religious faith are those which respond readily to new relations because they are suffused with the qualities of life, growth and adjustment, and can stand their grounds without the aid of the ecclesiastical police. The time has come for the rank and file to insist that the leadership of the race come together and arrive at a definite program sufficiently comprehensive to include all this is of value to the race. To divert energy that might be utilised for constructive ends into channels making for the destruction of an organization out of sheer personal jealousy is poor economy, and the leader of such abortive propaganda stamps himself as a fit subject for some psychopathic ward. Those who insist that Negroes remain where they are hold to a position that should only apply in part. They are guilty in the language of logic of applying particulars to universals. Some Negroes will remain and should remain where they are. It would be a matter of physical impossibility for it to be otherwise. The weaker animals those that lack endurance, are consumed when a forest fire of extensive range occurs; and their burnt carcasses remain to cumber or enrich the soil. The stronger one makes their escape by flight and live on after the confaguration to perpetuate their kind. The fit survives; the unit falls out in the race of life and ceases to be The Negro race is no exception to this rule. It has its fit and its unit. And our leaders must reckon with this fact. There are those who will be everlastingly indicted to move gent and make of themselves a people and a nation. The excertion incident to pulling, stakes, the rigorous attendant upon protecting, the physical, climatic, social and international obstacles to be encountered; the impediments imposed upon their minds by reason of racially wholesome-teachings—all these will inevitably decide the issue for some. ISLES POINTS OUT DANGER IN PERPETUATION OF SLAVE SONGS This is their Promised Land, and here will they abide as long as they can, or die if they can't. And they must be considered What if they have not the capacity for endurance, imagination, desire or intention? What if they say, "Anchored to this Rock of Ages, I shall not be moved." By all means let them stay And, as humans, help them in every way to fight the common foe, help in the struggle to maintain manhood and womanhood inviolate (a hard struggle, that); help to attain personal, political, economic security, help to put down injustice and enthrone a social conscience. This is the duty of all, to strive for the realization of such conditions as would elicit nobility of character here and everywhere. To do battle for the attainment of those ends is not only politic, it is essential. And every leader should urge it with the full vigor of his soul. Such an attitude would not retard; it would foster the program of both the left wing and the right. Any other attitude would be like the conduct of the ostrich when hard pressed in the chase. That foolish bird buries its head in the sand, feeling a serene sense of security in that, since it cannot see there is anything to be seen—no, not even the headless and ponderous bulk of its own body. That is the typical angnostic. It characterizes much of our humanistic sciences, too, to the detriment of those sciences. Much of our social science is afflicted with the lack of a sense of humor When some of the lasterites returned from the captivity and came face to face with the imminent problem of reconstruction they pursued a very unique course. Reason would have dictated that their first task was to rid the land of their lifelong enemies and then turn By WILLIAM ISLES It is somewhat coincidental that at a time when I am pointing out the danger of the liberal use of some of the folk songs sung in the days of slavery by the Negro, and which, in my opinion, are detrimental to the progress or the Negro of today, the following article should have appeared in the "Evening World" of June 19, 1922: "The committee of twenty-one school teachers and principals which since October has been examining American histories used in the New York City schools, on complaint that many are not patriotic, has made its report, which will be made public in full today by Dr William L. Ettinger, City Superintendent "To govern the writing of American history text books for use in the schools here, the committee lays down these principles: "Strictly speaking, the text book writer is not a historian." "It is for the teacher to determine what material is needed. It is for the text book writer to supply it" "The text book must contain no statement in derogation or in disagreement of the achievements of American heroes. It must not question the sincerity of the aims and purposes of the founders of the Republic or of those who have guided its destinies." "Among the specific decisions arrived at by the committee are there" "In all textbooks dealing with the Revolution there should be an inspiring account of Nathan Hale" "The word "gay," particularly as it is used with the word "unprosperous" (in the description of Patrick Henry in McLaughlin and Van Tynes's history), has an undesirable meaning it suggests indulgence, looseness and licentiousness. We suggest the use of a word less open to misconstruction." "The report discusses in detail fifty-three of the objections which led to the investigation. More than 500 objections were filed with the committee. "Books containing passages decided by the committee to be undesirable are West's 'History of the American People.' Albert Bushnell Hart's 'School History of the United States' and 'New American History,' Magruder's 'American Government in 1821.' Morris's 'Elementary History of the United States,' Everett Barnes's 'Short American History by Grades,' and histories by Guteau, Woodburn and Moran, Gordy, and McLaughlin and Van Tye. "Only slight criticism is made if "Only slight criticism is made of some of these books. "West's history, however, the report assists, will have to be rewritten almost completely in order to comply with the requirements of the New York City history course; and McLaughlin and Van Tyne's history 'contains much which from our standpoint should be omitted. "In a letter transmitted with the report, Dr. Edgar Dube Shimer, associate superintendent, says: 'Relatively few books are under ban, and the large majority of these can be readily amended. Thus far all the publishers have openly and freely expressed their full willingness to make the text satisfactory. "The total number of history textbooks purchased for the New York schools in 1918, 1920 and 1921 is given as $83,867, and the copies of the books under number $88,103, or 9 per cent. Two and one-third per cent. of pupils studying history are using the books in question. "Objections to McLaughlin and Van Tyne's description of the Boston Tea Party as 'a violent act,' and to Gordy's statement that the Colonists could have bought the tea more cheaply than 'when they smuggled to the problem of building up the nation. But plastic life guided them to fight with one hand while they built with the other. And they were successful. False teachers of religion have urged "prayer without ceasing" on the one hand or "work for the night is coming on the other, as though the two were antithetical. But the true teachers are urging that men consecrate work by prayer, and validate prayer by work. So then, while contending with contrary forces here we should be building for the future there. All of us can do our share of the fighting here and all of us can do our share of the reclamation there, either in person or by proxy by projecting our personalities through our means. I love life. I would hold on to it with all tenacity. I believe Jesus when he said "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." And when I find my life being attacked by ill-health I want all the aid that all the healing arts and sciences can give. I don't care whence comes the desired boon—from the old school, the new school or no school at all. All that I want is healthy life. Similarly, when I find that my social life, my civic life, my industrial life, my economic life, my cultural life is being assailed by unhealthy customs and traditions, and by proscriptive legislation. I want all the aid that all organized efforts can give. And I don't care whence comes the desired boon—from the liberal, the base radical or the race radical. All that I want is complete life. And what I want for myself I want for my race the more abundant life, here, there and everywhere. That is the real meaning of the cry "Africa for Africans—those at home and those abroad" it in from Holland, are uplied by the report, which says the incident should be described as a concrete exemplification of the spirit of resistance which animated the people. "The assertion in Everett Barnes' history that 'John Hancock was a smuggler, so had been his father and many other respected people,' is objectable, the committee decided. "The effect of the account as a whole is to imprison upon the pupil mind that Hancock was a smuggler, and a criminal." "As to Nathan Hale, the committee found that McLaughlin and Van Tyne Morris, Guiteau and Everett Barnes make no mention of the hero whose statue has just been moved to the Broadway side of City Hall Park, while Hart says merely that he was a graduate of Yale, which the committee comments is far short of any educational value." Hale, the report declares, "is the concrete embodiment of the revolution." The summary also set forth that 'pupples should not be taught the personal weaknesses of our national leaders,' and condemned the writers for various sins of omission and commission." How well does this report in brief, coming from a committee of twenty-one school teachers and principals, bear out my point of argument. We can clearly see that the white man in the preparation of his history is determined that no milestones shall be hung around the neck of his posterity and, even though many of the inings mentioned in the various text-books are true, were they to remain, in their opinion, the desired results of leaving an unquestionable record to those who are to follow in their footsteps would not be obtained THE SISTER-IN-LAW OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL VISITS NEW YORK CITY Mrs. Thaddeus Augustus Toote of Nassau, the Bahama Islands, is recovering from an operation in the St. Luke's Hospital.

During the last 100 years the white race composes the recent allied powers seized three-fourths of the area of the earth and placed two-thirds of the population in tributary slavery. "The Genoa conference, the meeting at Washington, the council of Verailles are as those of yesterday, met in distrust and not in contrition, for safety first; not for right and justice and humanity first. There has been created a distinct college cante. Young people are afraid to say they have not attended a university. Too often a diploma is a social certificate rather than an indication of equipment to lead in life. The masses have a mortgage upon the life of every university graduate. The only way it can be discharged is by paying to the people morally, ethically, philanthropically and physically. The strong of the world are accursed because they have wasted themselves physically and morally by the exploitation of the ignorant and weak.

Bmyer, “the man of the hour.” In a speech before @ large number of ‘oyal aupporters of the UNI A. assembled on Sunday In the auditorium of the Women's Christian Alliance, The meeting marked the ac- customed weekly manifestation of loy- aly to the cause which has become the pride of the chapter mombera as well ae an attraction to a large number of visitors, who add to thelr presence thelr moral and financial support, too. The day wae marked by two meetings, af- ternoon and evening, the special even- Ing service having been given over to the fuventies, who rendered a short program, which was well reecived. ‘The afternoon meeting was one in which the usual reaponse to emotional appeal gave way to serious thought under the eway of the forceful and log- teal arguments advanced by the com- missioner, The need of men of brains tn the coming convention was the bur- don of his apeech, and the minds of the entire assembly seemed agreed upon the one big vita! !ssue—the formulation of & concrete, practical and construct- ive program for the future of the U.N 1. A. and the entire race in August. ‘With reference to numerical strength ‘at the coming August convention Com- missioner Smyer etd: “Lam of the opinion that the great convention In August must have men of thought, meu of vision and men with constructive plans and ideas to make {t a great convention in deed and in fact. Mere numbers, without regard to the sterling qualities Just mentioned, may really be more of an impediment than a contribution to successful achievement and may, from an eco- nomle point of view at this critical poriod in the association's history, con- atitute a burden rather than @ rellef to the maases who are looking to thie body to correctly shape their destiny by lay- Ing @ solid, concrete foundation for In- dustrial independnce upon which to rear a gigan’l> superstructure so pow- ertul in its philosophy, #0 productive, because of ite independent industrial policy, that tons of propaganda will not be needed to encourage its growth.” ‘Te trapression was profound as the speaker, with forceful personality, drove every word home, leaving his hearera convinced of the toxic of hie argument and swayed by the grandeur of his speech. ‘The commissioner was followed In timely speech by Willlam Robinson, Inapeotor-General of the Universal Af- rican Lagiona for New Jeresy and Pennsylvania. The Inspector-General's remarks served as a marked impetus to the parent body's drive now In prog- ress. The cocasion marked the end of ‘& week {2 which the constructive work of the entire chapter bas been mant- fested tn a vary declive way.

Not- withstanding the inclemency of the weather there was a good gathering. The function was opened with the singing of the processional bymn, “Shine on, Eternal Light.” which was rendered by the cholr in a mast befit ting manner The preaident then gave an Introductory address. His Excel- lency on rising complimented the cholr {or the melodious manner in which Ubey delivered themselves, and wished them continued auccess. He then took for hie subject the following. “Might te Only Selfishness and Cannot, Ought Not, Win" He commented at lénsth on the fact that while he must con- Eratulate the little chapter for te rapid Progress it is making. Next came the imparting by him of the good news which put enthusiasm inte the heart Of every member present’ He told of the strong foundation on which the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation now stands in thle republic, and of the high appreciation and consldera- Mon shown it by both the Domiaican and United States military government. evidences of which were shown In a recent mass meeting held in Ban Pedro de Macoris when representatives trom these governments were present in the distinguished personages of the Do- minican governor, his staff, and the provost marshal of the United States local military government, ete. Ex- tracts from the speeches of encourage- ‘ment dellvered by these representatives were read by His Excellency. The extract from the provost marshal's ad- dress states ae follows. ‘I am greatly In favor of your lawa as set down In your constitution. This advice I will leave with you Remember that you have taken a great taak of bullding « nation, This cannot be accomplished tn a year or two, but be not discour- aged, you will meet with obstacles, for they will “atick to 1" Extract from the Dominican Gov- ernor’s speech shows that now he Is fully convinced of the alms and ob- Jecte of the association, he ie favor of it, and has guaranteed it the supyort of the Dominican Government. His ‘excellency next made mention of hie ‘There seems to be a tremendous atriving In the weatera world of late for the aupremacy in the great fight for leaderabip of the Negro Race A fight in which not lesa than a dozen of all classes of candidates, legitimates and illegitimates, are voluntarily en- isting themselves In the’ United States of America. I am supporting the idea of leadership to my race. But while it {s true that the whole dozen of these asp'rants to leader- ahip may be heirs, as they are claicting this most covetous title, tt te equally true that in every, big concern, like leaderahip for inetance, there ought to be a supreme leader, just ilke in the caso of “King of Kings” and “Lord of Lords.” In my opinion there ought to be a leader of leaders, providing, how- over, that the supreme leader 1s legiti- mate In the entire meaning of the word and one that cannot be mistaken at no time for a “gringo.” In the idea of @ supreme leader there are the necessary qualifications. Unlike In the case of “King of Kings and Lora of Lords,” ae they were born that way, we all know that a man’s good principles te gauged in what he has done. Not by what he can do. And since this te un- questionably true It is up to the Negro peoples of the world to elect now and fo all thmes thelr supreme leader ox- olusively upon his merit. ‘We noticed that all of these itke-to- de leaders admit dlrect'y or indirectly that the principles of the Universal Ne- sro Improvement Association 1s good and ita foundation solid, which te aim- ply admitting uncoaditionalty that be. cause of {te good princtptes and xoltd foundation, the platforms of the U.

Prom the great applause given at the ond of the address, It te obvious that it has erased compistely the terror of Imprisooment and deportation of mem- ders of the association and from the minds of all who beard it and gave to Negroes in general the assurance that they can carry on thé work of this grand organization unmolested in this republic. Three official letters of ap- preciation of tbe association's work were read in Bpaniah by Bister Martha Labesa. Brother Price, in moving a vote of thanks to Hts Excellency, sald: “Ho 1a volcing the sentiments of the audience in saying that tbe address has infused fresh vitality tn the life of the organization, and hope Hls Excellency will tavor us with » light visit before his departure for the coming conven ton.” This was seconded by Dro, D. Briscoe and the meeting was brought to « close by the president with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. REPORTER. seaworthy 's no fault of Mr. Garvey. ‘The president of the Black Star Ling wont two certified engineers to examine those ships and to make report as to thelr condition. The engineers's re- porte were @atlstactory, and, acting upon thelr reports, Mr. Garvey bo-ght the ships, Is there any inconslatency or lack of good business Judgment In that?

PROGRESS AND EXPERIMENT ACOLLEGE commencement embraces a series of gala days, crowded with spectacular events. The baccalaureate sermon, class day, commencement day, the reunion of classes that have graduated, who parade around the baseball diamond in picturesque garb, the baseball game and the annual boat race, with gaily trimmed yachts and launches with streaming banners lined up along the shore, observation trains running and trees, hilltops and roofs of houses crowded with spectators, is an event that once seen can never be forgotten. The students about to graduate, filled with the enthusiasm, virile energy and lofty ideals of youth, is a sight to quicken one's pulses and stir one's blood. They are like knights errant mounted on fiery chargers with lance at rest going out to battle with the world. Then there are the graduates who have returned to their Alma Mater for their class reunions. They have bright eyes, eager faces and brisk steps. Some have won their spurs and have returned to receive the congratulations of their classmates, friends and professors. Others have had a hard, up hill struggle and have been rowing against the stream. They have come back to renew the memories of college days and drink in fresh inspiration from their Alma Mater. And then there are the men who have won distinction in the field of art, letters, industry, science, politics and education and have been invited to the commencement to receive honorary degrees. The commencement culminates in the Alumni dinner, a dinner given by the graduating class to the Alumni. Last Wednesday afternoon the writer sat in the Memorial Hall of Yale University, an immense dining hall with walls lined with pictures. Approximately three thousand sat at the tables. On a raised platform at the end of the hall the members of the corporation and the recipients of honorary degrees sat. President James Rowland Angell, presided at the Yale Alumni dinner. First Sir Robert Alexander Falconer, president of the University of Toronto, Canada, spoke. Then Dr. Arthur Twining Haddley, president emeritus of Yale University, was called upon. He said in substance, the Yale graduate of today, if he does justice to his opportunity, must think in terms of world problems. Economics are international whether we will it or not. The psychologist must not only study American psychology but the psychology of a large number of alien inheritances in his own country. The very conditions of progress are to make many experiments that turn out badly and to make many false steps until we find the true one. We regard the latter sentence as very significant, in view of the black man's experiments in big business. Because some Negro bank, realty company, grocery stors, conducted on a large scale, or because some other enterprise does not attain immediate success, the doubting Thomases and the pessimists in the race say that the Negro can sail successfully in the harbor of small grocery stores, barber shops, restaurants and farms, but cannot successfully sail the seas of big business. But let us consider. The Negro students in the great universities of the world have mastered Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, science, mathematics, engineering, psychology, political economy, sociology. They have successfully operated small farms and small business enterprises of every kind and description. Why can't they succeed in corporate business on a large scale? Simply because they have not the required experience. When they get the required business experience they can succeed in big business as well as they can in small business enterprises. The traveler who visits America sees the greatest republic known in history running smoothly with no civil wars and discussions and few strikes. Only in the southern states of that country will he see the mob spirit in the saddle. When he studies the great railroad systems he will see hundreds of trains running daily on schedule time with very few collisions. When he visits a great manufacturing plant he will see ten thousand men employed and everything moving with the precision of clockwork. Now those splendid government, railroad and manufacturing systems were not evolved in a day, as Minerva issued fullborn from the head of Zetus; but men have been making experiments in governments for nearly four thousand years. And the result is the United States of America. For nearly a century men have been experimenting in building steam engines and locomotives and running railroads. The result is the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, the Northwestern and the Union Pacific railroad systems, with their big powerful and fast locomotives. For three hundred years men have made all kinds of business and farming experiments in this country. The result is the big farms, the Wannmaker stores, Sears, Roebuck & Co., the Wachstetter Exploring Arms Co., the Standard Oil Co., the Gary Linn Cree Plant and the Ford company. The work will be with the Negro in the Western Hemisphere and in the industrial and commercial enterprises. He is experiencing now. He is washing his face and cutting his eye teeth, and training experience. And with experience will come progress. Experiment, experience and progress represent the three stages in the march from the dugout of the savage to the Lusitania and Titanic, in the march from the old stage coach to the Empire State Express and the Twentieth Century Limited. These stages the black man is passing through as the white man passed through them. We are beginning to see the glimmering dawn of progress. The next two generations will probably witness the noontide splendor THE MESSENGER ON GARVEY THE omniscient editors of the Messenger Magazine attempted to take a fall out of Marcus Garvey in the current number of the magazine. They likened his business projects to the Freedmen's Bank, the True Reformers' Society and the Metropolitan Realty Company. But in their haste to be smart they didn't stop to think. A few years ago the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad reduced its dividends from 8 per cent. to 4 per cent. The next year it declared no dividends at all. Then it was discovered that twenty million dollars was paid by the directors, inspired by the master mind of American finance, J Pierpont Morgan, for a trolley line in Connecticut that was only worth eight million dollars. It was also discovered that thirty-five million dollars was paid for the Boston & Westchester Railroad, which was only worth ten million dollars. It was estimated that over one hundred million dollars was thus seemingly wasted in buying up railroad, trolley and steamship lines at a price which was greatly in excess of their real value. Did the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad go out of existence? No. Suppose white men belonged to an organization like the True Reformers' Society, and the bank the society started failed, would they disrupt the society? No. Suppose that white men belonged to a corporation like the Metropolitan Realty Company, and the department store that it started failed of getting started, would they disband the company? No. What would they do? They would keep the organization, numbering thousands of men, together, retain some directors, elect new directors, start again on a smaller scale and start business propositions easier to handle. There is one Negro organization, the A. M. E. Church, which so acted. For a number of years it operated the Book Concern at a loss. Finally the Book Concern became heavily involved in debt. Did the A. M. E. Church drop the Book Concern? No. It elected Dr R. R. Wright, Jr., as business manager and cleared the Book Concern of debt in four years. Then it elected Rev. Dr Baxter business manager and soon it will install a modern, up-to-date printing plant. The U. N. I. A. will follow the course adopted by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and the A. M. E. Church. The trouble with the members of the True Reformers' Society and the stockholders of the Metropolitan Realty Company was that they became faint-hearted too soon and lost their courage and nerve at the first setback. But the U N. I A will not make the same mistake. The editors of the Messenger Magazine know a great deal about psychology, sociology and economics, but very little about real business. They are young yet. They have lots to learn, and they have not yet acquired the experience whereby, like Lord Bacon, they can take all human knowledge to be their province. We hope that as they grow in years they will grow in wisdom. At present they lack the years which bring the philosophic mind. THE McKAY INCIDENT IN the resignation of Claude McKay from the position of Executive Editor of "The Liberator" we have an example of the "breadth" of white radicalism. Michael Gold, who objected to the "Negroizing" of "The Liberator," will be remembered by readers of The Negro World as the writer of that illuminating article on the Garvey movement which appeared in the New York "World" in 1920. Gold is a radical with a bourgeois complex. Like a majority of his fellow radicals, he is a violent Socialist, Communist, Unionist, Social Communist, Communist Unionist, and Internationalist. Following the anti-capitalist fad, he is interested in Russia, China and Corea, Africa, Asia and the Negro. In the ills of all these groups he takes a solid interest. Over sex and psycho-analysis, poetry and pragmatism, psychology and the future of society—over all these things he'd sit and talk. A don't-give-a-damner, he is a trust hater, an open shop advocate, and free of prejudice of any sort. Yet he objected to working side by side with a Negro, to seeing the Negro get a square deal in America. And in the McKay incident the lesson to our group is obvious. If we must pal around with a white man, let us do so with a bourgeois white man! No hypocritical radical trash for us! THE ROCKEFELLER GIFT WE have heard of the gift of the Rockefeller Foundation of $50,000 for the study of Negro history, under the direction of Dr. Carter Woodson, the Negro educator, author and editor. It was a splendid act. As we know nothing of the terms and conditions of the gift, we have no comment to make other than that we are glad that the powerful Rockefeller Foundation recognizes the study of Negro history as a study that is worthy of financial aid and assistance. Those who advocated its study sixteen years ago were regarded as wasting their time and were ridiculed by a Negro educator and his friends. Time, however, works wonders.

Who yield not to the tyrant's threat That hold his threat in scorn! ETHEL TREW DUNLAP. 1857 Allison avenue, Los Angeles, Cal FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI The Turanian movement in Turkestan, which came into being immediately after the Russian revolution, is now assuming alarming proportions, where the five or six republics with Bokhara at their head are fighting for complete independence of Moscow control. Rumor has it that Afghanistan has declared war upon Russia and that Enver Pasha, the ex-Minister of War in the party of Union and Progress Turkish Cabinet, has been intriguing to bring the republics of Turkestan in line with Afghanistan in order that the Turanian movement in the direction of Muslim solidarity might be an accomplished fact. Enver Pasha has 70,000 men at his disposal. These men are fully armed and equipped. No one can state with accuracy what the present fighting strength of the Afghan army is. Suffice it to say that Afghanistan can easily furnish 100,000 fighting men possessing a hardiness which is far superior to that of the Turks. --- The Bolsheviki made a great blunder in presuming that Islam and the Moscow program were one and the same thing. There is no doubt about the Socialistic tendency of Islam, but because of its conservatism it differs from Bolshevism in that whilst recognizing the brotherhood of man it also recognizes the fatherhood of God, and there is a considerable number of Muslims who stand or fall by Islamic canons. This body, whilst prepared to co-operate with Bolshevism to free itself from the self-imposed yoke of European exploitation, never was and never will be disposed to completely surrender to Moscow. The Muslims of Turkestan, who hoped through the agency of the unifying Turanian movement to throw off the yoke of vassalage imposed by Czarist Russia do not see their way to exchange one set of Russian masters for another set merely because of a change of label. They have tasted the bitter waters of religious and political adversity under the old regime and they know that they must not only unite with their blood-brothers, the Turks, against the common enemy, but that they must also join themselves to the other Islamic forces for the purpose of gathering strength for the grand defense which they know to be inevitable. The forces of a dominating and domineering Christendom have taken alarm and are uniting. Islam, together with the non-Islamic peoples of Asia and Africa, must stand shoulder to shoulder to stem the further encroachments of those forces which have little regard for right of justice or be exterminated by a barbarous ruthlessness of which we have had recent evidences in India, Egypt, Tripoli, Morocco, Smyrna, Macedonia and Thrace. Meanwhile reports are rife that Kamel Pasha's influence is being undermined in Anatolia by the partisans of the Sultan of Turkey and the friends of Enver Pasha. It is quite conceivable that Enver Pasha, who has always been noted for his ambitious designs in the direction of the Khalifate, might have become jealous of the remarkable rise of the redoubtable head of Nationalist Turkey, and this jealousy might perchance have influenced him to carry on a hostile propaganda against Kamel Pasha in Anatolia; but the glory of Kamel as a commander and administrator is greater than that of Enver. In fact, Enver has never given any tangible evidence of administrative ability, although no one can deny his military prowess. On the other hand, it is not in the interests of the Sultan to undermine the influence of Kamel because it is owing to his individual efforts that Turkey has not been handed over to Greece to be carved up for the delectation of the Cabinets of Europe. Had there been no Kamel Pasha there would have been no Turkey to speak of and there would have been left to the Islamic world neither Khalif nor Sultan, but a banished puppet of the European powers. In justice to the Sultan, however, it would be as well to state that very little notice should be taken of these rumors. Two years ago when the Turkish deputations were in London, at the invitation of Lloyd George, endeavoring to patch up some understanding with Great Britain, I had ample opportunity for discussing the situation with the heads of the delegation. Both Sami Bey, who represented the Nationalists, and Raif Bey—who spoke on behalf of my friend, the aged Tewfik Pasha, who, being confined to his bed, was unable to hold interviews—informed me that the aims and aspirations of Anatolia and Constantinople were identical and that the two governments were working amicably for a peace which would be honorable to the nation as a whole. The reports of disunion and intrigue which emanate from interested British sources are only intended to delay the settlement in favor of Turkey. It is hoped by these intrigues that Greece, secretly backed by England, will be able to wear down Nationalist Turkey in order to force Kamel Pasha to sign a treaty which will cause further humiliation to Turkey and the Islamic world. Meanwhile the forces of Islam are slowly but surely coming together. "The tide is rising," indeed. Not the tide of offense, but the tide of defense which European madness and greed have forced upon us. Europe will not be warned. We may be driven too far. And the defensive which has been thrust upon us as a necessity might perchance be turned into offense and then—God have mercy upon Christendom which will have brought the thing to pass! In China Dr. Sun Yat-Sen has been defeated in his ambitious efforts to unsettle the much disturbed Celestial republic. He has lost his following, and with his political death there is every reason to hope that a unified and reformed China will once more lift its head among the foremost nations of the earth. All the same the doctor has determined, it seems, not to die quietly and have done with it. He demands to be appointed a member of the commission for the unification of China and declares his willingness to resign as head of the Canton Government if his demand is met at Pekin Meanwhile Hong Kong advices state that in consequence of pressure by public bodies arrangements have been made to terminate the hostilities in Canton by transferring the navy to the control of the government of General Chen Chiung-Min. This completely ends Sun Yat-Sen's regime and his Northern China expedition of ambitious adventure. If the doctor is wise, and has not completely subordinated his famed interest in the welfare of his country to personal ambition, he will stand aside and permit more capable and earnest men to proceed with the task of unification. It is greatly to be feared that a unification commission which included the defeated and disgruntled doctor would unquestionably prove an agency for further disruption rather than the unification of a much distracted country. In England the government has sustained defeat in the House of Lords over its Palestine policy. By a vote of 60 to 29 the House declared for a postponement of the Palestine mandate in order to bring it into relation with the government's pledges to the people of Palestine. Although the government was defeated, it is not likely to go to the country, and it is still less likely to pay any attention to the inhabitants of Palestine, notwithstanding its pledges. Of late England has only respected pledges when that respect was compelled by force. It is only necessary to instance the unfulfilled pledges given to Egypt, extending over a period of forty years, Change Due to Migration and Decreasing Birth ATLANTA, GA., June 28—(Special). The historic Southern "black belts" are disintegrating and are destined to pass in a few more generations, according to census studies made by Dr. T J Wolter, a sociologist of this city. In 1880 there were 500 counties in the South in which the Negro population outnumbered the white. By 1910 the number had shrunk to 264, and in 1920 there were only 216. In 1910 54 counties showed a Negro population of more than three to one. In 1920 only 32 counties had so high a proportion. Migration to the North and to the cities and a decreasing birth rate have caused the change. During the last decade the cities gained three-quarters of a million in Negro population and the rural district lost or quarter of a million. The increase in the whole country was only 600,000, or 6½ per cent, as against 11. 14. 17 and 22 per cent, respectively, in the four decades preceding. Meantime the infant death rate among the race continues to be heavy. The Northern States showed the largest percentage of gain, Michigan leading with 251 per cent. Pennsylvania now has more Negroes than Maryland or Kentucky and Ohio more than Oklahoma. North Carolina had a gain of 65,564 and Texas of 61,645, while Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas each gained from 20,000 to 40,000. Mississippi lost 74,203, Kentucky lost 25.718, Tennessee 21,320, Louisiana 13,617 and Alabama 7,630. UNIVERSAL AFRICAN BLACK CROSS NURSES' CHILD WELFARE DEPT. By CLARA MORGAN, B. N. Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Dept., Negro World, 54-54 West 135th street, New York, N. Y. It is estimated that more than one-fourth of all blind persons lost their eyesight because of the ignorance or neglect of those who cared for them at birth. Such blindness can be prevented in practically all cases. The routine treatment is to introduce two drops of a one per cent. solution of nitrate of silver or a five per cent. solution of argyrol into the eyes of the baby immediately after birth. Any one ignorant of this routine is unfit to undertake so responsible a task as caring for a new-born baby. You say our mothers and grandmothers were never bothered about such things; quite so. The social evil which makes such a condition necessary today perhaps did not exist in their day, or probably it is due to the progress of the science of preventive medicine, and life and health today is not so much a "survival of the fittest." 'ACH! By ERIC D. WALBOND Now that Brr "Pess" is back, we can turn our attention to playgoing and book reviewing and allegorical hum-dinging. Not only are we going to get a shave and a haircut and a clean pair of sox, but we are also going to take the missus to see Florence Mills at the Lafayette, and Friday, if all goes well. L. L.

Books to review include "The Trend of the Races," by George Haynes: "From the Kingdom of the Stars," a Canadian creole novel, and a book of poems and essays by A. B. Kinnmouth. Of course, we are a lay creature—fundamentally so—and we have been trying to sidestep sticking our teeth into the latter for a long time. Not that we are afraid of it (God forbid!), but we happen to be a great admirer of the author and, of course, that makes the job all the harder. Anyway, we are going to waive all scruples, personal and otherwise, and get down to brass tasks. Kinnmouth is such a nice fellow.

Booming in Connecticut—The Hartford, New Haven and Portland Divisions—New Divisions Formed in Tariffville, Rockville, Middletown and East Berlin By SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS, A. M. Assistant President General of the U. N. I. A. and Author of "The African Abroad." The Bishops' Council of the A. M. E. Church, New York City, Dr. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor, assembled in New York city last week. It was a gathering of the chieftains and future leaders of the largest, oldest and most powerful ecclesiastical organization in the world. Three things stood out prominently in this council. One was the catholicity and broadmindedness of the council. Another was the capability and courtesy of Dr. Thornton. The other was the interest in Africa. He aroused interest in Tariffville and Rockville, Conn., where two small but hustling divisions have been formed. And he is arousing interest in East Berlin, Conn., where the brick yards are employing many colored workers from Virginia. Many of the colored people of Rockville, Conn., came from South Carolina. They have organized a strong little Baptist Church and nearly every member of the church is a member of the U. N. I. A. Rev. John J. Banks of Middletown, Conn., came from Florida. He has bought three splendid houses on Bridge street, facing the Connecticut River, and is highly respected by the community. He has interested many young The Blishop's Council showed its broadmindedness and catholicity in inviting and welcoming representatives of other racial organizations. It invited the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey to represent the U. N. I. A., and in his absence the Lower House courteously received Dr. J. W H. Eason, the American leader, and the writer, the Assistant President General. The Bishop's Council and the Lower House also courteously received Prof. Wm. H. Dickens of the N. A. A. C. P. and William Monroe Trotter, the secretary of the Equal Rights League, which will hold a convention in Boston from July 4 to 8. the capability and courtesy of Dr. Thornton, the pastor, Bethel Church, was shown by the erection of a small annex to the church and by the spiendid manner in which the services, the banquet, the trip down the harbor and the pageant were handled, and by the cordial manner in which he welcomed and received the representatives of other racial organizations. The interest in Africa was shown by the fact that Bethel A M. E. Church, New York city, only last Sunday morning, just after the clos of the council, raised $1,120.69 for the African work. Bishop William Sampson Brooks, in charge of the work on the West Coast, preached an impassioned sermon and told how he desired to raise $50,000 to erect a school building in Monrovia. Then Bishop Joshua Jones, former president of Wilberforce University, with his apt phrases, backed by a stantorian voice and indomitable personality, made the appeal. And the result were as stated above. Conspicuous in that gathering of bishops were the venerable Benjamin P Lee, the senior bishop, J. Albert Johnson, handsome, dignified and scholarly. Levi J Coppin, broad-minded and aggressive; A J. Carey, a master in larnel in the political field; I. N Ross, the sawyer of crowds; Charles S. Smith, the historian, Wm H Heard, not overstrong physically but alert in mind and brave in spirit; W. W Bechett, energetic and aggressive, W A Fountaine, the educator, and Bishops J M Conner, W D Chappelle, J S Flipper and H B Parks of majestic presence. Then the quartet of general officers whose splendid work has been an asset to the A. M E. Church were in evidence, namely, John R Hawkins, the financial secretary; D M Baxter, manager of the A. M E. book concern; Reverdy C Rannom, editor of the A M E. Church Review equally brilliant as speaker and writer, and Dr R. R. Wright, Jr. the editor of the Christian Recorder Dr R R. Wright, Br. former president of the Georgia State College and president of the Citizens' Bank of Philadelphia, Pa., was also present President J A Gregg, of Wilberforce University, and President Lewis of Morris Brown College, were also present. Very interesting vero the sessions of the lower houses, that is, the group of ministers who participate in public discussions and pass resolutions, making recommendations to the general conference. Rev. Dr Tookes presided over this body, and had his hands full. Rev J. R Ransom of Wichita, Kans., and Dr Robinson were prominent in this group. As we moved among the brethren we heard Rev. Dr H M. Mickens of Huntington, W Va., a candidate for Missionary Secretary, Rev S H. H. V. Grumbs of Brooklyn, N Y. Rev. Dr. T J. Linton and Dr. Wingdron of Atlanta, Ga., speaking favorably of the U. N I. A. it is worthy of note that Bishop Fountaine of Atlanta, Ga., spoke kindly of the U. N I. A. at the Thursday night banquet. We haven't begun to name the number of eminent prelates present at this council; we have only mentioned a few in passing. The U. N. I. A. On Sunday afternoon, June 18, we visited the Hartford, Conn. division. Despite the rain a fairly large but very enthusiastic crowd assembled. Mr. F. D. G. smartt, president; Mr. J. F. C. Cesar, secretary; Mrs. Dowden, the lady president, and Mr. Anderson, the Negro World agent, were present. The band is developing splendidly. A full report of the meeting will be given next week. On Monday evening we addressed the Portland division, and on Tuesday evening we addressed a meeting in Middletown, Conn. Mr. Willis Holman, the president; Mrs. Core Ball Barnes, the secretary; Miss Agnes Walker, and Miss Florence Croslin, the assistant secretaries, and Rev. Mitfinn, the treasurer, are working hard to arouse interest in the convention fund. We must especially commend the work of Rev. H. C. Lowie, the organ- ister. He aroused interest in Tariffville and Rockville, Conn., where two small but hustling divisions have been formed. And he is arousing interest in East Berlin, Conn., where the brick yards are employing many colored workers from Virginia. Many of the colored people of Rockville, Conn., came from South Carolina. They have organized a strong little Baptist Church and nearly every member of the church is a member of the U. N. I. A. Rev. John J. Banks of Middletown, Conn., came from Florida. He has bought three splendid houses on Bridge street, facing the Connecticut River, and is highly respected by the community. He has interested many young men in Middletown, Conn., and the neighborhood in the U. N. L. A. a division will soon be formed there. Bearacity of work drove a few men from Middletown and many men from Portland, but those who can stand hard work will find no difficulty in getting work in the East Berlin brickyards and on the streets in Middletown. On Wednesday evening we addressed the New Haven, Conn., division. The Barquum & Bailey and Ringling Brothers combined shows proved a powerful counter-attraction, but Mr. Slidney Murray, the president; Mr. Bylvester Mark, the secretary; Rev. Brooks, the treasurer; Mr. Mosel, the chairman of the Advisory Board, and fifty loyal and faithful members were present. An enthusiastic meeting was held. Although many colored men are out of work in New England, they are hopeful that business conditions will soon change for the better. PATRIOTISM "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land." Sir Walter Scott. Is patriotism the noble sentiment suggested in the first of these quotations or the base sentiment suggested in the second? It is or, at least, may be both. First, he who loves not his home and country, how can he love humanity in general? A small lump arises in the throat of the Englihman when he first catches sight of the white cliffs of Dover. When some man expresses a chivalric concern for the welfare of women, we are entitled to know how great is his concern for the welfare of that particular woman who has taken him "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do them part." If he is not interested in his own wife, we need not take seriously his profession of interest in the welfare of womankind. Indeed we cannot but suspect the sincerity of a man who is interested in women in general, but not in that particular woman who has the most immediate claim to his thoughts and care. There are persons among us who say that Africa is not their Fatherland, that humanity is their Fatherland. But there seems to be the same ground for the very general distrust of that vague sort of humanitarianism which loves everybody in general and nobody in particular To be more patriotic to our race we must become unified; if we do not our race will become parasite in this our adopted country. Already the white man is clamoring for white supremacy. We have been repeatedly told that Greece gave us art; Rome, law; Judaea, religion. England with her tenacity, France with her exquisite taste, Germany with her scientific thoroughness, America with her practical ideals. Italy with her gift of song. China with her massive patience. Japan with her self-sacrificing loyalty. India with her haunting sense of the "Infinite," these likewise have made important contributions to the world. What about Africa? It has been pilfered and is being pilfered because of the lack of patriotism on the part of the Negro. Consider, for instance, the Jew. Since the days of Constantine he has been the man lowest down. This despised and persecuted Jew. He has been persecuted by tyrants and victims of tyrants and still he is a Jew. He has maintained through all these centuries his racial integrity, his cultural gifts, his religious faith. The Egypt of the mighty Pharaohs is gone, Babylon is gone, Assyria is gone, Imperial Rome is gone, but Judea remains, not to be sure, as an independent nation, but as a living faith and hope and inspiration. "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its cunning." The Jew has never forgot. A man may be a patriot not only toward a living nation, but toward a living ideal. No flag may fly his national symbol, no band may play his national anthem, no soldier may wear his national uniform, no city may serve as his national capital, but without flag, or anthem, without uniform or capital, a man may still say "my own, my native land." BATOUALA SEE PAGE SIX THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 PANAMA DIVISION NO.17, U.N.I.A. IS PREPARED TO STAND THE TEST IN THE FIGHT FOR AFRICAN REDEMPTION By F. J. HECTOR CONNOR This division with its various ramifications, 2,000 or more strong, is of inestimable value in this city. The every-day activities of the Black Cross Auxiliary in caring for the sick, providing medicine, food and shelter to the best of its ability, caring for the young and helping to bring them up in the way they should go, teaching our future mothers to knit, to sew and to be generally useful and industrious, have done enough to evoke the appreciation of anyone who is not destitute of the ability to appreciate good, our literary auxiliary, in its efforts to prepare our people for the higher duties of life is a most progressive society and the public shall hear from that department in the near future. The Universal African Legion with its military band is progressing by leaps and bounds. Some time ago this auxiliary was honored by a visit from the bandmaster of the military band of the United States Army, stationed at Fort Amador, Canal Zone. This white gentleman was acquainted with our band ever since its formation, and on his visit assured us that the progress of our band was phenomenal and predicted for it great success in the future. Our color is another progressive auxiliary, which is a great asset to our division. It is one of the chief attractions at our Sunday night mass meetings. All these various auxiliaries cemented together form a great community of intelligence where our people, young and old alike, are given opportunities to improve themselves. Yet, despite the various achievements of this association, there are many who are still pessimistic and who are stifling their consciences by making statements to the effect that the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. outside of uniting a few hundred thousand people, has achieved little or nothing. They seem to feel that the Negro problem is something over which we have no control—that the Negro race is too contaminated, which makes a permanent unison of spirit among them impossible. As far as the political program of the association is concerned they seem to think that the redemption of Africa is beyond the range of Negro ingenuity. These arguments however, although often advanced by intellectual giants, are unfounded, and are easily refuted when attacked by common sense and historical facts. The Press Is Against Us There is only one so-called Negro journal in this city, which is being operated by certain West Indians who are diametrically opposed to the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. the Black Star Line and their allied corporations. This paper in its policy has almost completely departed from the noble principles of journalism in that it has condescended to quite a number of mean things. It is through this medium the recalcitrant and subsidized members of our race are able to write spurious articles and propagate deleterious propaganda against our movement. These shameless vilifiers never had the moral courage to step out into the open and challenge us, but they keep on in their hide-and-seek warfare, always striking in the dark and behind. This so-called "Negro journal" never failed to publish MEMBERSHIP EXTRAORDINE MEMBERSHIP MEETING EXTRAORDINARY NEW YORK LOCAL REORGANIZATION MONDAY, JU 8:30 o Get financial at once. Only admitted.

MARCUS GARVEY the sentiments of these moral degenerates, but they refuse to publish the sentiments of our members and well wishers who are always willing to defend the dignity and the integrity of our organisation. Owing to the above mentioned facts this division has done but little advertisement through the medium of the press, but its achievements force it upon the attention of the public and enable it to command unlimited admiration and respect. "Fearless Five" a Powerful Advertising Factor In absence of the press five fearless advocates of Garveyism have been selected to function as the chief agency of propaganda and advertisement. They hold mass meetings on the streets and have already made themselves famous in that wherever they go to preach Garveyism people flock around them in large numbers and cheer venerably. These men have pledged themselves to die at any time, anywhere for the cause of Africa and her teeming millions. They feel that fearlessness is a necessary factor in solving the dogged Negro problem, and it is with a marked inducibility of spirit that they go about their work, contributing their bit towards the achievement of the lofty aims and objects of the U. N. L. A. The U N I A. & A. C. L., as an organization working assiduously for the battlement of the Negro peoples of the world is absolutely inoffensive. Its members are taught to respect the laws of all governments and to respect the rights of every individual. Nevertheless, it must be remembered that they, like other human beings, have certain fine feelings which must not be hurt, especially where the U N. L. A. and A. C. L. is concerned, and although they do not offer offense, yet they never have failed to defend themselves when offended. Once provoked, they become desperate and strike back with telling effent. It was while speaking at one of the mass meetings of the Fearless Five that our president, Mr. C. A. Graham, exclaimed in voice stentorian: "Many people do not seem to properly understand the program of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. but as for me, knowing things as I do, I can truthfully assure you that to me death is more desirable than a retreat from the work of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L." The spirit suggested by the president's remarks is truly characteristic of the spirit of the loyal Garveyism. Owing to the activities of our Fellasians Five many of our opponents have been held up to public ridicule. These are now creeping out of their hiding places and offering shallow excuses and apologies. As far as our receptivity of their apologies is concerned, however, we do not know that we care much about them. We prefer to see a fellow fall in line and eradicate our bad impressions about him by establishing for himself a remarkable record as a fearless advocate of Garveyism and sincere worker for African redemption. Division's Program Being Put Over Truly, opposition has only served to bring out the best that is in us. Despite the escapades of our adversaries, we are going over the top with incredible velocity. We are now the possessors of a spacious Liberty Hall, "second to none," according to our High Commissioner, who has visited many. We spent over $3.555 to construct this edifice. We are also the owners of a twenty-piece band, whose progress is phenomenal. Our Literary Department is causing us to feel that we are a great educational institution. We feel that it is on account of our worth rather than on our worthlessness that people are bothering themselves about us, and we are certainly giving them something to bother themselves about. We predict rain for the enemy, because we are fully convinced that it will take more effort, more time, more money and more lives to break this P MEETING RDINARY JULY 10, 1922 clock Financial Members will be ident-General. GARVEY OF FOR NEGROES OWN $1,256,000 IN INSURANCE WASHINGTON, June 15, 1822 Secretary of Labor James J. Davis announced today that a statistical summary of the finances and personnel of the principal Negro insurance companies in the United States, compiled for the United States Department of Labor by Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, shows that there are twenty-five representatively active companies, with home offices in thirteen States and the District of Columbia. The insurance sold by these companies covers life, health and accidents principally. Of the twenty-five companies reporting four home offices are in North Carolina, four in Georgia, two in Kentucky, two in Pennsylvania, two in Louisiana, two in Florida, two in Virginia and one in the District of Columbia, Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland and South Carolina. Capitalization figures, which were readily available for only fourteen of the twenty-five companies, total $1,286,000. The total assets of all the companies are $6,539,198.93. During the past fiscal year these companies paid insurance claims of Negro policymakers and beneficiaries of the United States in a total amount of $6,072,188. The companies employed 8,578 Negroes, comprised of 587 clerical employees, 3,968 Reld agents, 1,823 medical examiners and 557 miscellaneous employees, to whom was paid a monthly amount of $226,728.10, either in salaries or commissions. movement down than will be required to build it up and bring its program to a successful issue. Garveyism has now become immortal among the Negro peoples of the world, and as long as there is a Negro left alive anywhere the name of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A. will always be heard. They may kill Marcus Garvey; they may imprison or kill all the present-day leaders of the invincible U N. L. A. and A. C. L., but they cannot kill the spirit of Garveyism, of the U N. L. A. and A. C. L—the spirit of the New Negro. We are determined that Africa must be free and we are determined to do our bit to contribute to the freedom of Africa. The writer feels that with 400,000,000 Negroes cemented together in one homogeneous whole, united in sentiment and in action, the redemption of Africa will be a matter of easy accomplishment. 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.

Dear Sir: This is to let, you know that I have been following your adresses at Liberty Hall, as well as your articles in The Negro World, and have found in them much food for thought, or permit me to say I have found them pregnant with useful instruction. But your address at Liberty Hall on June 4 on "The Significance of Silent Protest" has indeed knocked all the false hope and vain expectations out of our "intellectual" Negroes who are expecting better times to come to the race from mere begruddy petitions and the stroke of the stateman's pen. It is as you say, when referring to moral argument, that we re not standing on the same moral platform. If one were to meet a lion in the wilderness and, knowing the strength of his paws, one were to address him as General Lion, Admiral Lion, Professor Lion, or even Reverend Lion, the lion would not spare you.

PRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND BREWING HOUSE Sunstroka, heatstroka, insulation, coup de soleil and thermie fever are terms applied to the effects produced upon the central nervous system, and through it upon other organs of the body, by exposure to the sun or to over-heated air. Although most frequently observed in tropical regions, this disease occurs also in temperate climates during hot weather. A moist condition of the atmosphere, which interferes with cooling of the overheated body, greatly increases the liability to suffer from this ailment. The symptoms of heat-stroka, which obviously depend upon the disorganization of the normal heat-regulating mechanism, as well as of the functions of stimulation and respiration, vary in their intensity and likewise to some extent in their form. Three chief types of the disease are described. Heat syncope—In this form the symptoms are those of exhaustion, with a tendency towards fainting or its actual occurrence. A fully developed attack of this description is usually preceded by sickness, giddiness, some amount of mental excitement, followed by drowsiness and then the passage into the fainting condition, in which there are pallor and coldness of the skin, a weak, quick and intermittent pulse, and gasping or sighing respiration. Death may quickly occur, but, if timely treatment is available, recovery may take place. Heat Apoplegia or Asphyxia—In this variety the attack, whether preceded or not by the premonitory symptoms already mentioned, is usually sudden, and occurs like an apopleptic seizure. Ardent Thermic Fever—This variety is characterized chiefly by the excessive development of fever, the temperature of the body rising at such times to from 108 F. to 110 F. or more. Your papers on the problem of miscagement represent the quintessence of science expressed in popular language, and your interpretation of the principles of the organization is always fresh and illuminating. You have my congratulations. I feel that you are doing a much larger work in the U. N. L. A. and one that will be most beneficial to others. Your fraternally, (Signed) B. ROBERT BENNETT, Rector, St. Phillip's Church, Buffalo, N. Y. ```markdown ``` By G. M. PATTERSON Rene Maran was born in the island of Martinique in the year 1888. At a tender age he was sent to Bordeaux, France, where he received his education. It is said that he spent all his time, even his vacations, in study. While he was an excellent athlete, a good football player, a clever fencer—his chief interests were literary. At the age of twenty-one he published his first book of poems called "The House of Happiness," which was followed three years later by another volume of poems entitled "Interior Life." He then turned to realistic fiction, which finally resulted in "Fatouana." *Batoulai*. The very name suggests to one of vivid imagination, a weird story. And the tae is, indeed, so strange, so powerful and so unusual that the academie Goncourt at Paris, France, granted it the prize as the most literary production of 1921; this describes the fact that it is the most severe, the most bitter and the most caustic indictment of the Causazian in his relations with black folks yet to appear. This book has been reviewed by the magazine and newspaper of all countries. I have read many of the comments the majority of which have been laudatory, but nowhere have I been expressed the evident design of the author in writing the story. This has been concealed either purposefully or because of the difficulty for the Caucasian to interpret that which appears only in the soul of his black brother. Do you think that "Batouala" was written merely for the purpose of diversion, to do something not herefore attempted, to commercialise talent? Do you think that Rene Maran spent six years of his life, as he says: "Listening to the conversations of these poor people" (meaning the natives) simply to write something that might amuse or entertain! No, no! A thousand times NO! Read Maran was writing a problem story, food for thought; something to awaken the consciousness of his group everywhere; something to tend to ameliorate the condition under which his African brother is living. His heart had from the suffering he had witnessed and he determined that he should be the medium by which the city of anguish he had heard should be disseminated to every part of the globe. His ambition has been realized in "Batouala." The preface to the book reveals, in language clear, eloquent and ungratified the ideas of the writer that are later to be exemplified in the naive, realistic and unaffected story, through which is interwoven the thread of a grilling romance. Listen to the energetic language of the preface: "Civilization, civilization, pride of the Europeans and their channel-house innocent! . . . You build your kingdom on corpse! Whatever you wish, whatever you do you move always in an environment of prevarication. You are the force that transhands the right! At your sight tears spring forth and the cry of anguish beard. You are not a torch, but a burning fire. Whatever you touch you insume." "If this precise manner the reader is prepared for the impression he is to resolve by inference in reading the romance. And thus nowhere can one escape the contrast and comparison drawn between the habits and customs of the so-called savage and those of the so-called civilized man, and yet the theme is so simply and convincingly developed that one is ashamed to knowledge allegiance to the latter group. It must be borne in mind, in this connection, that Hene Maran is highly educated gentleman. That he lived in Paris, the great metropolis of the world. That he knows, as you did, to after careful reflection, that the so-called civilized man, like the so-called savage, is guided in his life and views by tradition. Our thoughts are usually molded in early youth through the reading of books, in whose authors we place doubtful confidance. The school boy begins his essay on a national character or event and is unfolded with the truthfulness of what he is saying, without any independent analysis of the text. And later, his time is so occupied in the struggle for existence that he rarely has the opportunity or inclination to investigate and analyze the reality of all that by which he is surrounded. He is taught that work is difficult and articulously applies himself to his task. He will be subdued by Davidson's reflection that work is for those, who will never understand it; that silence is not mistaken, but the mere taking advantage of all that surrounds us. Alas, that the Creator has placed within the grasp of the African we acquire without effort all that is necessary to acquire life, including a soil or fertile ground, an abundant earth surface, forth as manifestly of the aliens, restoring their native habitat, for who should be Maren's Purpose Highly Educated and look at her as she is, not as you would wish her to be, weighing the facts by the cold analytical process of reason. And what is disclosed? A civilization guilty of the atrocities of the recent world war, a civilization that has since ruthlessly slain thousands of East Indians; a civilization that teaches and practices the right of the powerful to crush the weak; a civilization that is declimating the natives of Africa; a civilization with its hands on the throat of Haiti and Santo Domingo, a civilization that ties its constituent members to the stake an' burns them alive as too frequently occurs here; a civilization whose hands are dripping, as it were, with the blood of its victims—horrible thing! And, by truthfully deploring the traditions of the so-called savage, one learns that his most abhorent practices pale into insignificance when compared to those of the so-called civilized man. You will note that I have consistently used the word "socalled" to quality "civilized" and "savage." This has been intentional, because I believe that the terms "civilized" and "savage," as generally applied, are misnominates; that the one is only partially civilized and that the other is not wholly savage; that each contains elements of the other; that they represent two distinct types, one of which has arraged to itself the right of classification—fattering in our instance and scandalous in the other. These are the facts. Why try to escape them by equivocation? This is the sociological exposure made by the gentleman about whom I am speaking. Then the author takes us to what is frequently referred to as the "dark continent." Does the Caucasian go there to help, to uplift and to educate the native? Does he go there with charity and love in his heart for the poor creatures there? René Maran tells us that even the untutored native knows better. That he knows that it is GREED that brings his pale nemesis. That he knows that the attractive forces are diamonds, gold and other metals, and all those other commercial assets that mean dollars. That the native population is being decimated because of the arduous tasks imposed upon it as a consequence of the coming of civilization. René Maran says, in reflecting upon this situation: "They (the natives) suffer, and laugh while suffering." But, abl all say, Africa and Rend Maran are far away. We have more intimate problems. And I say to you that the very purpose of this distinguished gentleman is to awaken the race consciousness of his group everywhere. Until we individually can feel the crisping heat of the flames burning By WILLIAM ISLES PART IV Civilization, as we take a retrospective view of it, is like the giant oak tree rising from the ground throwing out one branch after another in various directions, becoming stronger and mightier as time passes. Egypt dominating Northern Africa, the shores of the Mediterranean and the western portion of Asia Minor, yielded to Greece and Greece in turn yielded to Rome diffusing at intervals the treasures of science and thought accumulated by unusual power and energy, so we also observe music passing through the various stages of improvement from the Romans branching out into other parts of the world; England, Scotland, Ireland, Scotland, Finland and Southern Europe, its development at times controlled by the church or religious sects, at other times by ruling classes and bodies outside the church. This state existed for decades until music had reached the opera stage in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the meantime, let us not lose sight of the fact that during these periods folk-songs existed among the various peoples, especially Germany and England. We can now clearly discern that had these various peoples been content with their folk-songs alone which expresses more or less the sufferings, the joys or crudeness of their lives, music would not have reached such a high state of development in the 16th and 17th centuries. England, one of the most noted countries for folk-songs (I mention England here because aside from being the dominant power in the world today, we can trace back to the beginning of her history, 54 B. C., when Julius Caesar, the great Roman Emperor and warrior invaded her shores) has had a hard struggle rising into power. The English or Britons as formerly called were an oppressed people. They not only had decades of internal strife and wars among themselves, but series of invasions and ravishings of their country by the Dane and further back by the Romans who took and sold them as slaves to the slave markets of Rome. Surely, they must have been some suffering which would give rise to illiteracy expression! The Jews THE NEGRO and MUSIC another of our group at the stake, no matter whether it be in Texas or the South Sea Islands, we will not be in a position to present a united front that will correct the abuses of society we suffer everywhere. Let no one of us condone the mistreatment or misfortune of another member of our group, no matter where the action may take place. What matters it to you or to me the accident, birth? That one is born in Georgia and another in Patagonia, if you will, or in New York? The result of mere hazard. But our consanguinity, because of the blood that courses through our veins, is the stamp of our individuality and should be symbolic of brotherhood, love and affection. Can you not see, my friends, that the present civilization is only a self-styled one? That it must disappear and is disappearing? That the time has come for you and for me to unfold our arms and do our part toward its reorganization. Let us lay aside our hammers and adopt the slogan of the "Three Musketeers," by our Alexandra Dumas, "All for one and one for all." The time is at hand when we must stretch our hands, as it were, across the seas to grasp that of our brother, in order that we may together exert to the best advantage all the power that a gracious Creator has placed in our hands for the correction of abuses imposed under the guise of civilization. And the test of support must be, not where does he come from, but is he mine? My friends, what I have said are not my thoughts. No one knows the little book "Batouala" better than I Read the book, and in the lines and between the lines you will find expressed and implied the ideas I have tried in my own way to present. Let us enlist in this struggle for the improvement of existing conditions. The East Indians have enlisted and the Africans are enlisting. Let us support and uphold those who are bold and daring enough to tell the facts as they are René Maran tells us that the struggle will be beautiful because of the idealism of the objective. He does not mean by that physical force. The experience of the late war teaches the futility of that. There are stronger weapons than the use of arms; but, then, I am digressing. Some day I may have the opportunity to say something on this subject, and then those will be my thoughts, not those of another. Today I am speaking for René Maran. Because he is ours. Let us acclaim him as such. Let us show him that he is appreciated at least as much by the members of his own group in America, whom he defends, as by the Caucasians whom he exorcizes. His book is being released here on a royalty basis and every book purchased is an expression of gratitude. And bear in mind that long after you and I shall have gone whence we came Rend Maran and "Batouala" will still stand as guideposts, pointing out the straight and narrow path of truth in a forest filled with winding paths of prevarication. wept when they remembered Zion. The Negro chanted his prayer under the lash. It is impossible that there could have been all joy and happiness with the English under similar or worse conditions. They were the same human beings, yet, as I scan through the folk-songs of England, many of which I have in my possession, those that did not describe love, glory and valor conveyed the impression that all was well or apart from ordinary daily happenings, nothing seemed to have bothered them. The reason for this can be best explained by citing in briefs one of the compilers of these songs: "The educational uses to which the folk-song may advantageously be put are many and obvious." "The words which form an integral part of the folk-song should, strictly speaking, be treated with the same respect and be presented as accurately as the melody. Unfortunately, this is not always practicable." "Our guiding principle has been, therefore, to alter those phrases to which objections might reasonably be made." "The words of many of these songs have been altered. Gaps have been filled up, verses omitted or softened, rhymes reconciled, redundant syllables pruned, bad grammar and dialect translated into King's English." Originality is my chief keynote, yet many lessons can be learned from the active brain of today with over two thousand years of practical experience.

'When he came to himself' 1—Process through which he passed" The process through which the subject of this parable found himself was long, painful and through profligacy and poverty It is sometimes very necessary for some of us to pass through the most trying ordeals to discover the best in us. Some of us are so constructed that we can well exclaim with Seneca, when he said, "Adversity seems to be a necessary school to educate us." But when we are passing through the vale of depression, if we but understand the significance of the trials, we shall come forth stronger, because of the experience Mark you. I would not have you believe that every man has to be a prodigal to attain anything worth the while, but I would have you know that that prodigal who finds himself proves an asset in life and contributes more to the world than the one whose experience is normal. Man is the arbiter of his own destiny, therefore he is privileged to choose his own way. We may remain at home or become prodigals as may suit our fancy. If we become prodigals the mistakes we make should serve as impetus to nobler deeds when once we shall have found ourselves. He found himself first a man Being a man, he realized that he was possessed with God-given faculties. A mind, body and soul. He had a thirst-fold nature to be served. He knew this nature could be best served by a being of his type and mourd. He realized that a man was God's highest form of expression and therefore his crowning work in creation. He knew that a man functioned in the realm of thought, and therefore through thought he found himself in the environment of the lowest sort and away from the habitat of man. As a man he discovered his imperfection and reached the second conclusion—that he was a fool Are we not all fools who pursue the vain and fleeting things of life to the exclusion of things that endure? Are we not all fools who walk in folly's way and never think of the present nor future? This boy must have recalled the foolish things he had done in leaving home, then in following his many pursuits in the great and busy city. He certainly must have recalled how he had wasted strength, vitality and substance to enjoy for a season only the things of sense. With bitterness he must have recalled how he neglected the physical, mental and spiritual man. He must have contrasted his present lot—a proud Jew feeding swine, with that of his former estate, and remembered that his courses had been that of an insane, intemperate and blind youth, and therefore, a fool. Bitting here, hungry, waited in energy, he remembered through thought his first estate and recalled his present condition and therefore resolved that through thought he would make the third discovery—that being—he was a son. Being a son he had a heritage that was in keeping with his position. A son had rights of possession and power. Hence he must away to obtain these gifts. As a son he recalls a home with plenty, awaiting his coming. As a son he gathers strength for the ordeal and leaps upward and onward toward the goal of happiness. As a son he perseveres until he has reached home. As a son he enters in and possesses his alighted heritage, which he has wasted in part. As a son he becomes the guest and heir in his father's home. As a son he enjoys the BY GREAT NEGRO AUTHOR, RENS MARAN WILL SOON APPEAR IN ENGLISH P A G E PIMPLES ECZEMA HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL Bv L. E. HARRIGAN Whatever you do, matters not how unimportant, do thoroughly, with all your might, with your whole heart and soul, as if your very life depended on it. Almost any man can do a thing fairly well, many can do a thing very well. A few can do a thing superbly well. But the one through seal, energy, enthusiasm, patience and persistence stamps everything he does with his personality, making it individual and distinct, is the one who in the field of human endeavor will succeed. We are appealing to all members of the U N I A. to follow the principles above mentioned, remembering that these are some of the things that has made men what they are today, and will make n the future many what they ought to be. If you will but heed the teachings of our noble organization, if you will but practice brotherly love, if you will but stick together as one caring not what may be said, but hold on until we shall have achieved that for which we are coming together.

The white man a civilization has led us on and blinded our eyes with the dust of his civilization. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has aroused the race and called a halt in our long painful journey We have recovered ourselves. Through this recovery we found that we were men. As men we had a right to demand the things men held in the furtherance of a life. We found how foolish we had been to accept anything from the white man's viewpoint without easing to discover anything for ourselves. We disclosed the folly of such a self-complacent mood and awoke a howl in the camp of many jackals of greed and gain. But best of all we discovered our heritage and realized that we were sons of Africa, though born in the Western World. That we must arise and go home. This course is marked with real manhood strength and grim determination on the part of the many who have discovered themselves; but all those who are yet prodigals, feeding upon the transitory things of life are content to remain and feed the swine of the Western civilization. As sons God gave us strength to adhere closely to his guidance and run with vigor toward our home. Run until Africa shall be repeopled by its sons and daughters from a Western civilization, whose strength cannot be successfully combatted, because through thought and truth they have found themselves and therefore the worth of their heritage as sons. YE COLYUMNIST The third installment of J Poindexter, by Irv Cobb, in the Saturday Evening Post was another high success. This week we will not go into full detail. Suffice it to say that Jefferson Exodus comes through with colors flying. He succeeded in an admirable way in extricating his employer, and subsequently his benefactor, from one of his embarrassing situations. But, of course, this does not complete his benefence. The story has one more installment to run, then it will be completed, when, as we hope, it will go into book form. It nevertheless is clean, cheerful reading. The Evening World has started a campaign to arouse the dormant qualities in a seemingly otherwise engrossed public. It is offering $2 for stories of daily occurrences. That is for any one who happens to be on the scene and write in their personal observances, and if acceptable for print will be paid for. We, of course, are not in a position to fill this order. Our contract with this weekly calls for all our own productions, from a mediocre quality up. But that is what contracts are for. We have collected a few observances.

By WILLIAM BRIDGES Editor "The Challenge" NO. 111 The corporation is the most modern method of business arrangement and, having almost entirely displaced individual and partnership operation, is gradually evolving into a newer stage—the trust. The Negro, however, not yet having mastered the delicate technique of corporate manipulation and management, can have no interest in the discussion of trusts in these articles. I am engaged in an analysis of the alphabet of corporations. Complete knowledge of this principle will prepare my readers for an analysis of trusts, the most similar industrial machine imaginable. In financing corporations, whether financial, industrial or public utility ones, the two methods proffered are those of stock and bond sales. It does not matter if stock and bonds are designated under different heads and subheads, such as common and preferred stock, mortgage, equipment and debenture bonds, corporate financing remains unchanged. If a corporation has been successfully promoted and additional capital is desired, the company may either increase its capitalization or issue bonds. The means most advantageous to it is, of course, always adopted by experienced directors. There are times when a company cannot burden itself with a bonded debt. The sale of stock is safest. A well-established corporation, however, can always resort to bond issues. These separate means of raising capital when resorted to by companies under the control of white people, rarely fail to materialize. For them a spontaneous market is invariably accessible. It will be many more years, if at all in America, before corporations owned by Negroes will find such an available outlet for their securities. That this is so must not, nevertheless, be translated as an evidence of their worthlessness. It is simply an indication of economic and educational unpreparedness on the part of the masses linked together with their inability to as yet understand what is implied in corporate systems and corporate achievement.

AGENTS WANTED RKING OF CORPORATIONS this statement I used only cite that there exists several corporations conducted by colored men that pay a quarterly dividend regularly, yet their securities to colored people are no more attractive than are those of a defunct corporation. The whole truth then is that these securities, in spite of any manifest money-making propriquities or any dividend paying precedents which the corporations issuing them might have established, are not absorbed by any section of the public, white or colored, not by the white for various obvious reasons, not by the colored because of the reasons related above and because of certain well fixed antagonistic notions which they persist in cherishing relative to that which is thems. How long this condition will last is problematical. While it does last it can do no good, but immeasurable injury. For any one of us who believes that extensive economic accomplishment in a country where wealth and its confluent, political power, are each day being more irrevievably centralized in the hands of white aristocracy, can be made is not only foolish, but falls tragically to be moved by the very pressure of present circumstances. Individual or separatist business efforts are entirely nugatory. There is no single colored person that possesses sufficient capital to begin a business venture comparable to the Standard Oil Co. Judging carefully from the trend of things and the times, there will never be one. Whatever the Negro does in America or elsewhere must be worked out on corporate principles or not at all. There is in the pooling of $100 each by 1,000 Negroes a greater potential power financially and, consequently, industrially, than there is in the pooling of $1,000 each by six or ten. The more pooling, however, is not all. The resources thus created, while extending advantages utterly absent from individualistic or separatist activity, will unless protected in emergencies by additional capital from those whose capital originally created them, remain openly subject to the weaknesses naturally inherent in individualist and (Continued on page 9) PLAYING AT BETTE THEATRE 100 Street, New York City BROS., Lessees RY ENGAGEMENT Station Room on Broadway Weeks Only.

DIVISIONS BROOKLYN DIVISION HOLDS BIG MASS MEETING AT THE COSMOPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Right Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, High Chancellor of U. N. I. A.. Electrifies the Audience June 14. 1922. On Thursday evening, June 8, the race- loving Negroes of Brooklyn were the recipients of a very enthusiastic mass meeting. The meeting opened at 8:46 p. m. by the singing of the hymn "Onward, Christian Soldiers," led by the choir, while the Legions, Motor Corps and Black Cross Nurses representing the Brooklyn, New Jersey and Montclair Divisions proceeded slowly through the aisle, followed by the distinguished visitors from New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Montclair and officers of the Brooklyn Division. The procession having ended, the chaplain of the Brooklyn Division, the Rev. C. H. Hurley, led in the devotional exercises, at the conclusion of which the audience was seated. The vice-president of Brooklyn Division, Mr. O. Welch, then delivered the address of welcome and acted as master of ceremonies for the evening. the musical and literary program then followed, which was made up of some of the best colored talent of Brooklyn. Those taking part were Mrs. A. Perkins, Miss H. Jean, Mrs. Myers, Missed Andyes and Wormley, Mr. D. Loman (violinist), Miss E. Miller, Mrs. Hilda Jemmott and Mr. W. R. Miller, executive secretary of Brooklyn Division, who presided at the organ and piano alternately. We have to thank those who helped to make this part of the program a phenomenal success. The first speaker introduced was the Rev. C. H. Harley, chaplain of Brooklyn Division, who spoke briefly on the subject, "Why I Love the U. N. L. A." Next following was Dr. B. Osborne, a very enthusiastic member of this division, who spoke briefly on the subject, "The Power of Self," laying emphasis upon the fact that hidden powers lie within us, which if discovered will lead us on to victory. This discourse was received with wrapped attention. The principal speaker of the evening, the RL Rev. Dr. G. E. Stewart, High Chancellor, U. N. L. A., a man who stands among the first-rate orators of the Negro race, was now introduced amid tumultuous applauses, the legions, Motor Corps and Black Cross Nurse standing to do him honor as he arose. The honorable gentleman took for his subject the motto of the organization—One God! One Aim! One Destiny! And, as a man who goes to his business knowing what he is about, the honorable gentleman broke out in a flight of oratory which electrified his hearers to intense enthusiasm, as was noticeable on all sides. Among other things the speaker said One God, because we say all other man, "Our Father which art in Heaven." One Aim, "the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness." One destiny, that all be free, according to the plan of the Creator. All who heard Dr. Stewart on that evening were well refreshed by the inspiration which he brought. Favorable comments were heard on every side after the meeting regarding the noble speech. Especially noticeable is the fact that whenever the speaker referred to His Excellency the Hon. Marcua Garvey spontaneous applause was evident, which showed the veneration which is held by the people for the name "Marcus Garvey." Dr. Duncan James, pastor of the church, then responded briefly, thanking the visitors one and all for the great revelations which they had brought to him on that occasion. The reverend gentleman then became a member of the organization, making a big success for the U. N. I. A., as Dr. James is a very scholarly and influential man. Inspector General Basil then spends briefly. The meeting was brought to a close after a short address by the president of the division, thankking those who had given us their co-operation, by the singing of the Ethiopian anthem, followed by benediction. Credit must be given to the executive secretary for bringing about the meeting, also to Mrs. E. Watkins and other Black Cross nurses. W. WATKINS, President. W. M. MILLER, Exec. Sec. rect challenge to the criticism of the so-called intellectuals with respect to the feasibility of the U. N. L. A., and the crushing logic of his argument defending the program of Africa for the Africans brought down the house with thunderous applause, and it seemed that the skeptic had no hiding place—no argument to defend their opposition to this the greatest program ever offered to the Negro peoples of the world. He pointed out in a most convincing manner the technicalities of the science of government, showing that the convention to convene in August, by virtue of the responsibility devolving upon its personnel to translate the virtue of the declaration of rights which it evolved at the first convention, held in 1820, will beyond a shadow of a doubt prove to the world the turning point in the experiences of the suffering black race and will give evidence of the authority of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. over the affairs of the entire Negro race. He showed extraordinary ability as a statesman in that he gave a reason to prove every phase of the Garvey movement as absolutely feasible, and pointed out with superb clearness and simplicity the status of the Negro in world affairs, and established the fact that because the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. was the only movement that embraced every principal of success, both to the individual and race group that it merited, beyond the shadow of a doubt the unstinted support of all Negroes. Mr. Raines is a statesman and in truth fully able to point out and safeguard the masses of his people and guide them wisely in the course of self-determination. When we take under consideration the full significance of this great movement we realize that it demands of our leaders to be far-sighted and analytical in making their deductions to prove the sound basis of group efficiency, hence Mr. Raines has proven himself in our estimation fully qualified morally, intellectually and otherwise equal to the task of true leadership. Sunday night as a continuation of his discourse upon the afternoon subject, reaching his climax he displayed extraordinary knowledge of international affairs and his philosophical mind completely mastered the situation. Monday night his subject was "The Task Before Us and the Way Out." This subject he handled in equally as masterly way as he did the first one and proved to his hearers that the Garvey way is the only way out. Tuesday evening his subject, "The Leak In White Civilization," the thought conveyed in this subject was that civilization travels much like water and seeks its level and invariably settles where the people are to receive and dispense its virtues. He argued that it flowed out from the great reservoir of the African continent thousands of years ago. Africa is the mother of civilization and is responsible to her God for the child she has raised and her child she wandered away into a strange land, and has scattered her virtue among heathens, but the God of the universe has moved upon the heart of Africa's prodigal son, hence Negroes everywhere are crying out. "I will arise and go to my fatherland and report to my God for my stewardship in that he has committed to my keeping the treasures of law and order from the beginning;" hence civilization belongs to Africa and there can be no peace on earth until Africa is redeemed. The turning away of Ethiopian sons from the way of the heathen has determined the leak in white civilization. The commissioner did not fail to recognize the inestimable service rendered to the St. Louis division and the Negroes of this community by their patriotic president, Hon. B. R. Wheat, who, in the face of great opposition, fighting against foes within and foes without, this great little general has kept the division intact; moreover he has added an industrial department (Garment Factory) which bids fair to convince the enemies of the movement that we really mean to do business; he is a wizard to this organization. The entire stay of our commissioner, Mr. Raines has been one of great learning and much joy. The reception given by our Lady President, Mrs. A. B. Venerable, and the Black Cross nurses was very beautiful and all of the many who attended expressed their gladness in having our commissioner of whom we are very proud, with us. Mr. Raines leaves today for a tour of the State, visiting all divisions, making ready for a meeting of representatives from each division to meet in St. Louis in an executive body to discuss ways and means of promoting this grand movement in our State. This body of executives will convene here early in July. President Wheat with his enthusiastic followers are working Hard and mean to bring up their quota of mendy for all departments of the U. N. L. A. We are alive. An excellent musical program was rendered; Mr. W. M. Davies one of our most faithful workers, leader of the chain. Mr. George Howard, late president and the Demonstrates of the division presiding. VICTORIA WALLACE TURNER General Secretary of St. Louis Div. W. M. L. A. and A. C. K. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 ATTEMPT TO STOP GARVEY LECTURE FAILS NEW ORELANS, La. June 31- Mayer Methane was checkmated here late yesterday, in his effort to prevent the speech of Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and known as the "Negro Moses." Judge Porter Parker, in the Civil District Court, granted an injunction to restrain Captain Cape, acting superintendent of police, from interfering with Garvey's speech at the Longahoremen's Hall. The injunction was granted on the ground that the city had no right to interfere with liberty of speech. HON E. V. MORALES INVOKES NEW SPIRIT OF ENTHUSIASM AMONG THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE CAMAGUEY DIV. The last day of May placed the Camaguey Division in the first place on the roll of honor among the divisions in Cuba. On Wednesday, May 21, the program of our mass meeting began in the usual way, by the singing of the oda. "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," followed by prayer. The president, Mr. E. Blackwood, gave a stirring address in connection with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied corporations. A solo was rendered by Miss Irene Hinda, which was received with satisfaction, she being cheered on leaving the rostrum. Mr. Arthur Lowla, chairman of the Board of Trustees, was the next speaker, who spoke directly on the determination of some of the officers of the Camaguey Division. Following this address was a solo by the first lady president, Miss R. Vassell. The hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiera," was sung, and the collection taken. The president, Mr. E. Blackwood, then introduced High Commissioner E. V. Morales as the special speaker for the evening. As the honored gentleman arose from his seat the gavel was sounded, at the sound of which the entire audience stood at attention, the national air of Ethiopia was sung in honor of the guest, and roars of cheers were heard inside and outside of our hall. In the discourse of his address the audience listened with attentive ears as he outlined the program of the organization and its auxiliaries, at the same time asking us to study the movement more. He insisted upon us to star up some kind of co-operation, so that we may be able to free Africa just where we are, and by doing so we will be able to free Africa at home. Stir yourselves as men and women, and build up your division, so that when I return to you again I may find your division in good standing. To the ladies of this division, I want each and every one of you to be a Henrietta Vinton Davis, and place yourselves up in the front line of women fighters for the cause of liberty and freedom. He also encouraged the men to be fearless fighters, showing to them that he has great interest in the movement, because it is his as well as anybody else', and he is trying to be a Garvey or to win Garvey. He said: I know I am going to lose, but I am trying, and you men must try to beat me, never be discouraged. As for me, nothing can discourage me. I will ever go forward until I find myself standing in a free and redeemed Africa. Officer, my last word to you is, stand by your president, stand by him when he is right and keep him right, and when he is wrong, make him right. That's what I am prepared to do, to stand by my chief when he is wrong and make him right, and when he is right, keep him right. May God help us, he said, that our work may go increase that we will glorify our God, who hath helped us in the redemption of our fatherland. Installation of Black Cross nurses, officers, and decoration of Black Cross nurses by High Commissioner E. V. Morales. At this point Miss Hilda Chapman and Mr. A. E. Miller were called to the rostrum to be installed into their respective offices, the former as general secretary of the ladies' division, and the latter as chaplain. This was done by the commissioner, who gave the officers their charges and installed them into their offices for three years. This was a pleasant incident in the history of the division. Decoration of Mrs. S. Simmons, instructress: Miss I. Hinda. Miss E. Davidson, of the Black Cross division then took place. Miss Hinda and Miss Davidson being present, they were called to the rostrum, where the high commissioner extended to them the highest appreciations of the parent body and awarded them the emblem of our race for the noble work they have done, and the sacrifices they made in devoting their time to the assistance of Sister Louise Jones, former assistant treasurer of the division, during her two weeks of serious sickness, which caused her death on May 19. May she now sleep in peace. The meeting terminated by prayer and the singing of the juvenile hymn. This was the end of a beautiful night in the Camaguy Liberty Hall. HERMAN AUGUE, Secretary. A CORRECTION In the Negro-World of June 13 was a news item headed "Unit of Hon. W. H. Pearson already Bearing Fruit." This is wrong. It should have been "Unit of Hon. W. J. H. Benson" etc. COMMISSIONER MORALES SENDS GREETINGS TO THE MORON, CUBA, DIVISION To the President, Officers and Members of the Moron Division, U N. I. A. Dear Friends and Brethren. Owing to the excessive amount of work which I have had to undergo, and which I am still undergoing, for the progressive advancement of this our most beloved race, is the reason for not having written you are now. Nevertheless, this will prove to you that the Moron division ever stands before my mind's eye as the aura of Africa's redemption, bursting forth on the dawn of a new day in a new republic for the new Negroes of the world. Be not weary in the work you have so nobly begun, but, rather, continue earnestly, honestly and fearlessly until we shall have found ourselves standing shoulder to shoulder with the other races of the world on the platform of equality and justice. Your strenuous efforts and hazardous task for racial unity and the ultimate freedom for the sons and daughters of Ethiopia from mental pygmyism, economic, commercial and industrial slavery, as also have been made manifest by all the other divisions in the republic of Cuba, have received the whole-hearted recognition and appreciation of the president-general of the parent body, and which I undoubtedly expect will also receive the full consideration of the honorable delegates assembled in the International Convention of Negroes. In your choice for a delegate to the International Convention I hope you will select and elect a person whose ability, earnestness and love for the cause we here represent have proven to be more interested in the progressive advancement of the 400,000,000 Negroes than in self. In other words, we want real men, who will not stoop to the dictates or desires of any individual or set of individuals in order to hold or get a job, but men who will stand up for and defend the rights of those they represent. Remember, our racial integrity is at stake, and our only hopes are strung upon the portals of the U N I A. Therefore the individual to represent this race of ours in the coming convention must be able to prove his or her sterling worth in order to form an integral part in the constructive conventional wall for Negro progress—physically, morally, intellectually, commercially and industrially. The Camaguey, Ciego de Avila, Cespedes, Jatibonico, Remedies, Calbarion, Havaan Coiba de Marianao and Guanaboa divisions, which I have visited since last I saw you, ask to give you and the other divisions their greetings, and that you continue faithfully and fearlessly until the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green be seen waving in every city, town and village in the continent of Africa. The Governor of Camaguey has also accepted and approved our by-laws, but demands a duplicate copy for each division, in accordance with the laws governing associations in the republic. So you can just imagine the amount of work I am engaged in at present to typewrite same for all the divisions. I got back last night at 12:30 on the train that should have left Clego at noon, where I went to defend and deliver a brother from the hands of the Barabases. Here in Camaguey I am trying my utmost to get out of jail three unfortunate fellows who have been charged with burning canefields in Agramonta. Though alone, with no one to assist me, I am of good courage and hope to overcome all difficulties. Give my best regards to one and all. Yours fraternally for Negro progress, EDUARDO V. MORALES. Reparto Negro 15½. Camaguey, Camaguey, May 24, 1922 MARCUS GARVEY VISTTS DENVER, COL., U. N. I. A. We, the Denver Division, No. 118, were highly honored by a visit of His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey and his staff of field representatives—Mr. Zampty, Auditor General; Miss Enid Lamas, secretary to His Excellency, and Mrs. Lillian Willis, orator, on May 24 and 25, at Zion Baptist Church, Twenty-fifth avenue and Ogden street. A goodly number of Denver citizens were out to hear our chief, who by his forceful oratory struck home. His hearers were convinced of the truth of "Africa for the Africans." He is the most wonderful orator Denver has ever heard. Some who do not believe in the movement were curious for a sight of so great a man. Owing to the advisability of making train connections to the coast he had to leave on the afternoon of the 25th, which was a great disappointment to those who failed to hear him the first night. Mrs. Willis was last to continue the meetings for one week. Well might His Excellency say, as he did, that she is his "mouthpiece." During her stay Mrs. Willis held the spellbound. She has a wonderful personality. She won the Denver Division both heart and soul with her graciousness to each and every one, answering questions pleasantly and patiently. She is a true follower. She is filled with Garveyism. Mr. Empty also did good work while here, auditing the books and giving instructions how same must be kept to avoid complications in the future. We have pledged out support to our honorable leader for the uplift and redemption of Africa. LIVINGSTON, CUBA, CHAPTER OF THE U. N. L. A.

GATUN, CANAL ZONE DIVSION, SENDS GREETINGS Hon. Dr. B. C. West, Ph.D. High Commissioner of Central America Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League: The Gatun Division No. 2 of this world's greatest movement at this time in the epochalide of its struggling to establish the principles of Africa for the Africans which is a motto for the organization to unite the scattered race universally. We welcome you with open hearts, knowing that in you we have one of the staunchest champions for the redemption of our motherland. Honorable, sir, we feel ourselves honored, and very fortunate in having you with us. Your presence in our midst will strengthen the weak links of the chain which unite us to the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, and also to give light to those who have not yet caught the message. Your coming is a momentous event in this vicinity of Gatun, for it shall give all the opportunity to judge the caliber and ability of those leaders chosen by the New Negro. May the great God of the universe and disposer of all destinies bless your honor in your endeavors, and may your life be spared to see the consummation of the program started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Therefore, Honorable Sir, this division extends to you and staff at this juncture its most hearty welcome, and pledges itself to ever uphold and defend the principles and doctrines of the U N I A. and A. C. L. That it shall consolidate the goal where the Red, the Black and the Green shall stand as a beacon light and bulwark for our race in world affairs. This is our greatest desire on behalf of the Gatun Division No. 2. Paternity yountr. UZZIEL GODFREY AYRE. Ex-Secretary COM. MORALES VISITS THE HAVANA. CUBA. U. N. I. A. HAVANA, May 5 - Again our division was honored by the presence of the Right Hon Eduardo Morales, High Commissioner to this republic. While he entered the portals the orchestra sent out the harmonious tune of the national anthem The High Commissioner, as a loyal soldier stood at attention until this was complete. An address by Hon Gerald M. G. Clarke was delivered. He introduced the High Commissioner for the second time to the Havana division and all who did not know him before. The honors of the president, officers and members were strictly placed in the direction of the High Commissioner. The president continued and addressed to the best of his ability. 2d. Was a melodious hymn by the choir. "From Greenland a Joy Mountains." 3d Entertainment by one of the Havana star ladies who gave a glorious recitation on The Redemption of Africa." 4th Solo by Havana's beat tenor. Our program could not be lengthy as it was near time for the High Commissioner to go. Out came Dr. Morales, one who is very far from being deficient in eloquence and who is a very proficient master in the art of oratory. Had some wide statements to make when he spoke on the redeemment of Africa. His heartsease were then compelled to take a vision voyage with him to the 750 scattered branches of the U N. I. A His theme was that every Negro is crying for a free and independent Africa, under the sparkling colors of the Red, Black and the Green He arrested the attention of his hearers when he said, "I want no money, all I want is to keep Negroes together." The idea of saying that Negroes will never get together is under my feet. The U N I A has crippled that and made it one of easiest possibilities. And today the voice of one Negro can reach and has reached the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world (Applause) Addresses Spanish Audience He demanded their attention when he started out under the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man, and demonstrated to them the one God, the one aim, and one destiny. Unfolding a new picture of visions, he pointed out to them the "yonder" Republic of Africa. They also saw the capitol building and overhead the sparkling colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. It was now time for the High Commissioner to go, but his hearers insisted that he should tell them more of this long hidden doctrine that they never heard of before. H. F. CAMPBELL Havana Division U. N. I. A. THE COLUMBUS DIVISION IS BOOMING Columbus, O., June 12, 1922. The Columbus Division is making steady progress. During the month of May 158 members were added to our numbers. This gives a total of 900. This shows that some live work has been done in this division during the last eight months, since the arrival of Mr. G. R. Christian as executive secretary. Through his weekly articles in the local white papers about the movement and the several visits of officers from headquarters and the stirring addresses by the High Commissioner and the getting of a hall by the trustees under the chairmanship of E. T. Green, who maps no paints to see that everything is well with the division's property, division has made wonderful prog- months ago we promised the body that the Columbus Divi- register 1,000 members for the convention in August, and we are very near that number now. We shall make desperate efforts to redeem our words by the time the third great convention meets in Liberty Hall, New York. The Division is now busy raising funds to purchase a Liberty Hall of its own. Each member is asked to give $10 towards that fund within the nxt thirty days. The following persons have promised $10 each to the Liberty Hall drive: Hon. W L. Sherrill, G R. Christian, J. H. Donald, Isaac Kellum, S M. Moore, Frank Hall, Ed Arnold, Robert Ellis, Noah Rosell, Martha Hudson, Fannie Hunt, Emma Wood, E T. Green, J. G. Burroughs, James L. Shields, Mary Moalr, Cora Prunty, Nettie Perry, Sadie Brown, R M.

Carter, G N Perry, J P Saunders, Ed Shelton, Julia Garner, Samuel Smith, Lula Smith, Rev G W Hopewell, Emma Hopewell, Annie Olla, Jessie Olla, Minnie Wall. The spirit of the people is fine. They are brimful of the real U N I A fever and much progres is expected in the No. 142 Division The convention is near, and from what one hears on every hand quite a large number of persons will go to the convention this year from the Columbus Division. G RUPERT CHRISTIAN, Executive Secretary THE TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS, U. N. L. A For quite a while the Ladies' Department of the Tela Division has not been functioning as would be creditable to all concerned. Therefore, the Hon. D. E. Thorpe thought of a reorganization which may tend to a better working of that department. The past two Sundays the initial steps of nomination and election were gone through with and the following ladies elected: Mrs. H L Fairclough, president, Miss E. R. Bennett, first vice-president, Miss Sarah Buckley, second vice-president; Mrs V. Flowers, secretary, Miss Alberta Francis, assistant secretary; Mrs V. Tate, treasurer, and Mrs. Ann Engleton, chaplain. A special mass meeting was called on Sunday, May 28, at 3 p.m. The meeting was opened in the usus, way by singing the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain," the preliminary part being conducted by our worthy chaplain, Mr J J Brown after which Hon D E. Thorpe, divisional president, occupied the chair and conducted the ceremony of installing the officers-elect. At its close he presented the lady president the gavel with the necessary explanation, after which in a few well chosen words he wished them success in their administration This being over, the remaining part of the evening was given to Mr. John Shirley, a member of the New Orleans Division No. 149, who based his address on the history of the Black Star Line, which was interesting from start to finish, as it concerned many of the members present who are stockholders. This address was given a a time most needed, as many of the haters of the cause had in their possession a copy of the Jamaica Gleaner of May 11, which stated that the Black Star Line is a failure, who in turn spread the propaganda and further disheartened the weak hearted stockholders, but Mr. Shirley's address came as a counter propaganda and dispelled their doubts and fears. He not only interested his auditors, but electrified them, and when he had brought them to a certain pitch of enthusiasm he closed his address and with a polite boy he resumed his seat amidst a prolonged applause. The question of the failure of the Black Star Line had been confronting us for some months, but the loyal and true members and stockholders do not give it a moment's thought, but want to give to the propagandaists the world over that when it is a failure they mean to invest, so that a line of steamers to be owned and operated by Negroes can be seen floating to the colors of the Red, Black and Green, with the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes on the seven seas. We further want to remind them that we had been investing in other concerns before the Negroes became prominent, and have lost terribly. Therefore, if we as Negroes should lose in our own concern, we will be satisfied. At the close of Mr. Shirley's address the president, Dr. Thorpe, on behalf of the Division thanked him, also coroborating many of his statements, and brought the meeting to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem. F. A. VERNAL "CONVENTION MESSAGE" To the beloved and noble deputies of my race who are preparing to assemble at this third international convention from August 1 to 31: The Negro peoples of the world are depending on you to bring along a living convention spirit that the seed thereby planted may send forth fruit abundant in fold. Our confidence is fixed on the scattered divisions and chapters to send forward the most brilliant and stalwart representatives to release our coming generation of prevailing difficulties. Yours for Negro improvement. BATOUALA SEE PAGE SIX THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 1, 1922 MARAN RETORTS TO CRITICS PARIS, June 24.—The first news of Rene Maran, author of the novel "Batauola," since the Gencourt Academy awarded him its highly vetted literary prize six months ago has just been received in Paris. He wrote at Koumra, in the wilds of Africa, when it takes three months-for a letter to reach civilization, to reply to the criticism aroused by his violent attack on the French Colonial Administration, of which he is a member. M. Maran, while admitting he may have laid too much stress on certain phases of the administration, maintains his attitude and asks an investigation of the facts produced by him in the preface to "Batauola." Himself a Negra, he repeats that colored men are treated worse than animals. U. N. L. A. AT MOUNT CHARLES, ST. ANDREW, JAMAICA, B. W. I U. N. L. A. AT MOUNT CHARLES, ST. ANDREW, JAMAICA, B. W. I The long expected visit of the High Commissioner to Mount Charles took place on Sunday, June 4. The Mount Charles Baptist Church was packed with new Negroes eager to hear the High Commissioner, who had traveled all the way from the capital on the special invitation of the Rev McLaughlin, popular Negro pastor, Justice of the Peace and member of parochial board. The meeting began with the singing of the opening ode, after which the Rev McLaughlin in an able and polished speech introduced the High Commissioner. He said in part that he was well acquainted with Mr O'Meally and had every confidence in his ability to represent the Negro people of the island, that the movement which the commissioner represented stood for the racial uplift of the Negro people of the world irrespective of nationality and that the time had come for Negroes to be led by Negroes and not by aliens. He said that the U. N. L. A. deserved the support of every well thinking Negro in the island. He then called upon Mr. O'Meally to address the gathering. The commissioner upon rising said that he thanked the Rev. McLaughlin and the people for the cordial welcome they had extended to him as commissioner for the U. N. I. A., that the society was more often misrepresented than represented—not only by the enemies of the movement but also by over enthusiastic members who were in love with the movement but did not quite understand it. He said that the society was not anti-white but that it was 100 per cent. pro-Negro, and that the new Negro would be so busy solving the problems confronting him, and practising Christian charity and love towards his fellow Negroes that he would not and could not find time to hate the other fellow. He ended his address by appealing to the women to be up and doing—to remember that the redemption of Africa was in their hands, for the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. An address was then read by the recording secretary thanking Mr O'Mealy for his visit and the eloquent address which he delivered, and asking him to again visit the district before his departure for the United States.

SUBSCRIPTION. 50c NOW READY All divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to send in their orders for the New Constitutions of the Organization as amended at the last Convention, to the Secretary-General's Office. By Order UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General --- voice. But the mocking bird refused to put in its appearance, but kept on warbling. And we persisted in waiting. Presently, however, we were separatist procedure. The management of these resources can be the criterion of efficiency, but should it be unable to secure quick capital in a pinch, its experts would be nullified. The average amount invested by colored people is approximately fifteen cents. That portion of this which reaches their own companies is invariably followed several months later by an incessant agitation for dividends and attempted comparisons of their non-payment with the regularity of the interest payments of banks. In dealing with this feature I want to be emphatic. There is no relation between the 4 per cent. paid by savings banks in the form of interest and the 10 per cent. or any per cent. paid by corporations. The history of banking from its inception does not show that anyone ever became wealthy through interest payments. It does show that thousands became so by manipulating bank funds, deposits, in the open investment field. It is merely the increment derived from this, or small bits of it, that is returned to the depositor in 4 per cent. interest. Banks perform two functions of payment almost at the same time: interest to the depositor, dividends to the stockholder. The difference between interest and dividends is just about the same as that between the sun and moon. Banks begin business by providing in their charter for the payment of set interest to those who entrust their money to their—the banks'—keeping. These charters do not provide for dividends to stock-holders. If they did the superintendents of banks in the several States would send the incorporators to jail. Dividends at all times in all corporations must come from profits. If there are none, there are no dividends. In numberless cases frequently, though, there are profits and still the stock-holders get no dividends. The profits are used for expansion instead of going out to raise new capital. Since corporations under the control of Negroes are not likely to make money as easily and quickly as others and are, therefore, less likely to create the surplus necessary for the early payment of dividends, it is altogether unfair for their stock-holders to demand them. Let none endeavor to create a relation between the interest they receive on their savings and that which is derived from stockholdings. The moment a bank opens its doors it is in a position to pay interest. The reserve fund is already there, having been supplied by its directors and stock-holders. Corporations generally must operate for years before they can give out one cent in dividends. The United Retail Candy Stores, Inc., is an instance in review Organized in 1820 as an adjunct of the United Cigar Stores, its stock sold at $10 per share Today the same stock can be bought for $75. If the stock of this gigantic concern has fallen to $25 below par and indicates no prospect of producing a dividend for several years more it naturally follows that corporations owned by Negroes cannot do any more than they are doing. I know there are some of these that have paid dividends in a 'year. By doing this they have erred seriously. By allowing the stockholders to agitate them into these premature payments they have taken from their companies part of the capital strength that is so urgently needed during the present depression. The Sphynx Corporation is the only one that has paid dividends wisely, is still paying them and will continue to do so unless something unforeseen occurs. The Sphynx first made certain that its surplus was of sufficient dimensions to permit of dividend payments without tending to dissipate its working capital. If this rule is not closely observed there are many breakers ahead. My advice to colored investors is to not seek dividends prematurely and to the directors of our corporations to not pay dividends until they are sure of their surplus no matter how continually the stockholders may instil.

El resultado de la vota- cién negando la enmienda fué de 42 contra 9. Votaron a favor de la enmienda, jademis del proponente King, cinco republicanos, 6 sean los senadores Borah, de Idaho oe de Cali- fornia , Ladd, de North Dakota ; La ‘Follette, de Wisconsin ; y Norris, de Nebraska; cuatro demécratas; se ‘nadores King, Overman, de North Carolina ; Walsh de Massachusetts; Walsh, de Montana. También fué rechazada otra enmienda del sena- dor King proponiendo reducir los cuerpos de marinos. Los que apoyaron la enmienda de King declararon que la poles de intervencién en Haiti, Santo Do- mingo y Nicaragua estaba originan- do resentimiento en Hispano Amé- rica, asi como en Europa, contra los Estados Unidos. Los senadores McCormick, republicano, de Illi- nois; Pomerene, demédcrata, de Ohio a Oddie, republicano, de Ne- vada, del comité del senado que in- vestiga los asuntos haitianos, decla- raron que la intervencién era nece- saria para ayudar al pueblo haitiand a establecer un gobierno ordenado de su propia eleccién y negaron que hubiera la idea de que la ocupacién fuera permanente. El senador Pomerene declaré, en- tre otros, que seria algo menos que un crimen retirarse ahora de Haiti y_ los senadores Borah y otros decla- raron que las grandes empresas de negocios estaban deseosas de ~~ continuara Ia intervencién de los Estados Unidos, haciendo una des- cripcién los senadores de la manera cémo se adopté la constitucién de Haiti hecha en los Estados Unidos. Los paises sudamericanos — dijo el senador Morris de Nebraska— miran al gobierno de los Estados Unidos como un pals de ladrones. La politica de intervencién nos ha concitado mala reputacién en mu- chos de esos paises y en Haiti eclip- sa a Tammany y otras organizacio- nes similares. Todo Centro América y muchos paises sudamericanos—dijo el sena- dor Borah—estin — sumamente opuestos a nuestra politica en Haiti, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua y Gua- temala. Los centroamericanos con- sideran la intervencién como una invasion y que los Estados Unidos intentan anexarse los paises ocupa- dos.

E! pueblo filipino suspira por ver el cumplimiento de 9us aspizaciones a Ja existencia nacional—expresa la misién.

La misién expresa que el deseo de la independencia en el pueblo filipino aumenta cada dia que pasa y ~ si durante a querre dealsderon de pe dirla con actividad se debié unica- mente a las grandes cuestiones de democracia comprendidas en la gue- rra y por su lealtad y afeccién hacia lon Estados Unidos, no porque la independencia les fuera entonces menos cara. La mision cita el caso de que a Egipto, la India ¢ Irlanda han sido reconocidos ya como pueblos libres y que en todo eso ven el triunfo de los ideales norteamericanos, espe- cialmente en el principio fundamen- tal del gobierno con el consenti- miente de los gobernados.

Mont Reily, gobernador de Puerto Rico, pronto presentara 1a renuncia de su cargo. Ha sido noti- ficado que en su proximo viaje a los Estados Unidos ha de trser sus familiares y sus trastes, pues no ha de regresar a la isla como capacidad oficial. El Presidente Harding y el Secre- taro de Guerra Weeks han decidjdo sacar a Reily de Puerto Rico, siendo esto forzado por la necesidad de crear hamonia en los asuptox de la insula, Jo cual no se realizar toda ver que aquel permanezca en ella como gobernador. Se discute actualmente los nom- bres de dos candidatos como posibles sucesores del gobernador actual. Uno es el de Rhinelander Waldo, antiguo Comisionado de Policia de la ciudad de Nueva York, hombre de reputacion administrativa, quien se dice aceptaré el puesto y el otro es el representante por el estado de lowa, Horace M. Tower, presidente del Comité de Auntos Insulares de ja Camara, familiarizado con los asuntos de Puerto Rico. Nuestra Raza Se Reune en Conferencis Para Protes- tar en Contra Del Lincha- miento Ea décima tercera conferencis anual de nuestra raza reunida en L ciudad de Newark, estado de New Jersey, organizé una parada com: puesta de diez mil personas, la cua fué revistada por el gobernador de estado Edward I. Edwards y el al. calde de la ciudad Frederic C. Breiddenbach. pee 3¢ sompuse de numers sas _delegaciones eclesidsticas, or- ganizaciones politicas y obreras y cuerpos civicos, dirigiendase desde el parque Lincoin hasta el arsenal de Newark, donde fueron recibidos por el gobernador y el alcalde, quienes pronunciaron los discursos de bien- venida. Esta reunién fué presidida por Moorfield Story de Boston, ex- presidente del colegio de abogados, actual presidente & la asocigcién que organize la manifestacién. El propésito de la parada fué protestar en contra de los linchamientos en los Estados Unidos. Entre las frases a da los manifestantes se fos siguien- tes: “Hay dos clases de capibalismo: los satvajes se comen los seres hu- manos sin cocerlos; los nosteatneri- canos cuecen @ los seres humanos ine cores de la bested s08- tene en Io alto Is luz pase iominar as funerarias de los hombres,” z mayo hubo-doce Hinchamjen- inane perdocita chat mente a las turbes ee j iAprobed, ty cont Io te Méjico Ha Ofrecido Tods Clase de Garantias Satisfactorias Centros en contacto ton Ia politics mejicana informan que el ministre de relaciones exteriores da Méjico Dr. Alberto Pani, seré el future embajador a los Estados Unidos despues de! reconocimiento y el em- bajador de los Estados Unidos en Malieo, até el conocido Danquero de Rownpville, R.

El presidente Harding quiere otorgar el reconocimiento, pero desea consultar con el secretario Hughes, gules est4 en viaje de re- greso a sablngion. E] gobierno de Méjico ha ofreci- do ya toda clase de garantias, sin) necesidad de formar tratado previo e inmediatamente que sea reconoci- do por los Estados Unidos lo sera tambien por los principales paises de Europa. No se tiene conocimiento oficial del acuerdo a que se lego en Nueva York para el arreglo de la deuda exterior de Méjico. Este acuerdo no tiene coneccién directa con el reconocimiento de! gobierno del presidente Obregon. El Color de Los Ojos La ciencte veclara que los ojos azules no tienen color alguno pues Bo existen pigmentos de tal. color Et profesor \V. B. Bancroft dice que tanto el azul del cielo y de! humo del tabaco como el de los ojos se debe a una aspersién de la luz a causa de un medio opaco. Los que tienen ojos oscuros po- seen distintas cantidades de un pig- mento amarillo en el iris. Si_este pigmento es poco los ojos aparecen verdes y a medida que aumenta, el color varia. Muchos nacen con los ojos azules y luego cambian de color es el pigmento de desarrolla con edad.

The party will spend six months searching for a gold deposit which, its sponsors believe, will lead to a goldfield as rich as the Klondike. The facts behind the expedition were guarded for many months and became known only after the Majestic sailed. A relative of one of the party told the following story today Jullus J Dolgos, a chemist, of Goldens Bridge, near Katonah, was a member of mounted forces operating in or near the Belgian Congo during the World War. In 1917, while with a column of cavalry he became lost. After wandering around in the dense jungles for some time, his horse stepped over the side of a steep ravine, horse and rider rolling to the bottom. Neither was seriously injured. After repacking his saddle and looking around, Dolgos decided to follow the ravine. He came upon a spring of water which seemed to rise near a small basin and disappear a little further down leaving a small basin of clear, cold water which was constantly being refreshed. Dolgos drank of the water. He noticed that the bottom of the basin seemed carpeted with bright yellow pebbles. He scooped some of these up and found them heavy and metallic. Putting a handful in his pocket, he continued his wandering and finally struck the trail of the lost column which he ultimately rejoined, though nearly starved from subsistence for several days on scant rations. Considering the possibility that the pebbles might be valuable, Dolgos said nothing to his companions. He marked the place as best he could in his mind and, after his discharge, took his pebbles to a jeweler. The latter, after assaying them, paid ...im $1,500 for the gold. On his return to this country Dolgos told his story to Edward P Barrett of Katonah, supervisor for the Town of Bedford Barrett investigated the story, believed it, and organised the expedition. He will accompany the expedition as far as Brussels, where he will seek concessions necessary for the development of any property which members of the expedition may believe valuable. Other members of the party are A. C. Brower, Raymond Brower, Charles P Grups and Robert Eisman of Katonah, Dolgos and Albert Pemberton of New York, William H. Odell, Jr., of South Norwalk, and Capt. Carlos de Montana of Brooklyn. them by the same indomitable courage he has manifested in breaking through the barriers of ignorance to the proud distinction of a Master of Arts and a learned Bachelor of Law can attain to this eminence and to these honors in the domain intellect without the backing of a wealthy father and all the bright and alluring prospects that such backing gives, what ought our sons to become when they are ready to graduate?

BRUCE "Now I am going to enjoy my earnings, as I should have beer doing all these years that I have toiled and slaved for this boy whose tastes run to superficial women, cigarettes and joyriding. He will now have to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. I had already earned it for him, but I am going to eat it myself. He will appreciate and enjoy it better when by the sweat of his own brow he has earned his own bread," said Phillip, somewhat sentiently. Waal, I reckon, said George, you’re purty nigh kernect. Phil Yure philosophy is purty soun. We all appreciates what we hev to work fer with our own han’s better than we do what is given to us, an’ we allus takes greater care of whit’ we works for ourselves than we do of what sumbody else has worked fer, d’ever notice that” "I certainly have, George. I've got the first dollar I ever earned with my own hans in the harvest field, some sixty odd years ago, an' I wouldn't part with it for a one hundred dollar bill. It represents service, sacrifice and satisfaction. I well remember that hot August day, George, an' how hard I worked for that dollar from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. one hour for dinner, and how proud I felt when I received my days' pay. The boys of today would go on strike rather than work as hard as the boys of those days did in the broiling run an' from 6 to 6, for one dollar Waal, I ahd say they would, Phil' especially ouh white boys. The dark-jes, I am told, had to wurk from day-break to starlight—some of them I was talkin' to young Jefferson the other day, Phil, and were askin' him some questions about himself and his family and he tole me that they wuz all born in slavery and that he was only a few months old when the Civil War broke out, that as he grew up and learned and understood the story of his people, their sufferings and hardships, he was overcome with a great desire to be edificated and that he resolved in his own mind that he would some day be a great man an' a useful one A white boy, a former playmate of his, had once taunted him, telling him that Negroes' skulls were too thik to absorb knowledge an' that he could never be anything except a servant for white people, that Negroes were made to be servants, howers of wood and drawers of water Young Jefferson told his white playmate that he didn't believe these things an' that the first chance he got he wus going to prove that the brain of a Negro wus just as capable of development as the brain of a white man. These statements had touched his pride an served as a challenge to him to disprove them, an' he meant to do it if hard study could accomplish it. "That's the kind of grit that wina," said Phillip Ardsley. "It's the kind that I would have liked my boy to have displayed, George, but having a rich daddy he doesn't seem to have cared a damn whether he graduated or flunked on the job. He knew he would some day fall heir to my money and property and it didn't bother him whether he had education enough to hold it or not. Now this black boy, with no incentive but his pride of race and a strong determination to show that his race can attain to as great heights intellectually as any other race, has put our superior race to shame by winning the chief honors in the examinations of his various classes. The comparison ought to be odious to the average white boy, mine included.

Organization to many persons is simply a membership of a group of persons meeting at intervals to talk and collect dues that are assessed to each member for the purposes of defraying sickness or death expenses. Such a conception of organization is very limited in its scope and far from being adequate of its true significance. Organization is the bringing together of individuals into a working unit to accomplish some definite purpose as well as defining the duties, responsibilities and authority of these individuals, whether the purpose is one of social or business matter If Negroes would organize and organize seriously there would be no question of the success of the race, because the mind would be engaged in matters that concern the general welfare of the race. As one observes, the general trend of the race, as is seen on this continent, is one of pleasure or good time. Yet what a childlike conception of "good time" without acquiring the economic means to enjoy this positive propensity in a true and benevolent way Right in our midst, Harlem, the Negro population is estimated to be over 150 000 persons. Yet the volume of business done by Negroes is less than 2 per cent such should not be the case. If Negroes understood the meaning of organization, no other race would be able to survive in business among them Imagine a Negro doing business in a populated Italian, Greek or Jewish district' It would be unthinkable' If he was able to last long enough to earn a month's rent on his store he would be in luck. Yet these very people who wouldn't allow any Negro to prosper among them are crowding Negro business to the vall through the race ignorance of the importance of organization. A peoples strength and power depend upon intelligent organization Nothing worth while can be accomplished without it. Individuals may try, but their efforts are like pygmies among giants. Those of us who are students of current events cannot help observe the tendency of all enterprises today (big ones) is to organize themselves into still bigger units, so as to be able to cope with world affairs and make themselves potent in the field of economics. We as a race must arise to the necessity and purpose of organization. Not petty organization, each a rival of the other, but big organizations with big programs, and we must see to it that these constructive programs are put over. Failure to understand the magnitude of such propenilities must spell retrogression for the race and ultimate annihilation. The majority of us think we must "creep" before we walk. We have been creeping so long that it is time for us to find out in a serious way why we have not walked as others have and are doing. When our sons and daughters become educated in the arts and sciences we surely do not expect them to begin life in a station that is unbecoming to their education We cannot and should not expect the white race to give them these positions. They have their hands full in endeavoring to satisfy their own sons and daughters with positions of dignity and merit. By their organizations and management they provide for such exigencies, and even go in our districts to acquire the means to put their program over while we rest content with our lot. Surely we owe our children the hopes they cherish in acquiring the higher ideals of life. These cannot be successfully accomplished without organization whereby our resources are placed and managed in such a manner as to provide means for the uplift of the race. A race that has economic power is a factor in all world affairs. The social side is insignificant, for man will never admit his fellow as his equal once he surpasses him in brains, finance and education. We must awake to the necessity of organization and support those organizations that aim to uplift the masses. Then see that those chosen to manage these organizations are persons fit by training and character for the posts assigned to them, and not ornaments that would decorate scrap barrarels. GARVEY INTERVIEWS not carry you all the way to Chicago in his automobile for nothing. And so the race that can help itself the race that has brain power, initiative, the energy and the confidence to get to gather and build up enterprises and institutions, that is the race that can command and compel and challenge the respect and admiration of the world I have seen colored men by virtue of their personality leap over the color line. One black man in Connecticut wanted to get $500 worth of lumber from a white firm to put up a house He had no money in the bank, no real estate. The white firm said to him "Where is your security?" and he said "These black hands of mine are my security; I drive nails for a living" That man had confidence in himself and got the $500. I saw in one town a black man from North Carolina doing a business of nearly $75,000 annually welding and repairing automobiles. Why? It was the efficiency and the genius that compelled and challenged recognition, and so I believe that the Universal Negro Improvement Association in teaching the Negro that he was not descended from the ape but was created in the divine image, and teaching him to look up to the stars and feel his kinship with the divina, is giving increased thought and momen- COMMISSIONER O'MEALLY VISITS PORT ANTONIO, CUBA, DIVISION On Friday May 18 the Port Antonio Division received a visit from the High Commissioner, who, immediately he arrived, went to the Town Hall to attend a concert given by the division in his honor. The attendance was fair, and among those in the audience were Dr and Mrs. Burke, and Mr Allan. The musical program was interesting, and was also well rendered Special mention must be made of Mr Gore, the local comedian, who, we believe, would become a second Bert Williams if he had the chance Towards the close of the proceedings the commissioner made a short address on the U N I A and invited the audience to a special meeting on Sunday, the 28th, to be held at the Town Hall when he would deliver an address on the objects and aims of the association. The chairman, Mr Thomas, a prominent and popular young Negro druggist of the town then made a few encouraging remarks on the U N I A. after which the concet. it was brought to close. On Sunday the 28th, Commissioner O Meally had a confidential talk at 11 a.m with the members of the division. He spoke for two hours, telling the members and the officers just how the division should be managed and meetings conducted. At 4 p.m. the same day the high commissioner then gave his address on the 'Objects and Aims' of the association The Town Hall was comfortably packed with an enthusiastic crowd who listened with rapt attention and interest to the pithy and eloquent address of commissioner O'Mealy. Records made exclusively by colored artists were plied and were well received by the audience. The meeting allourner at 6:30 p.m. and was continued at the hall of the association at 7:30 p.m. when the high commissioner held a large crowd of members and friends spell-bound for nearly three hours as he appealed to the people to lay a sure foundation so that those who follow us may have something to build upon. The people said that now they understood what the U N I A stood for, they would give it their whole-hearted support. Now that the commissioner has kindled the fire, and the flames of racial pride and love are burning high, we hope that the officers will not allow the flames to go out, but will cherish them as something sacred. BRUCE A FORBES. tum to him by which he can institute business agreements successfully There is something in the Universal Negro Improvement Association that is greater than any business corporation just as the United States Government is bigger than the Shipping Board. It is because the soul life of the Negro has been awakened that men with training, men with experience, will one by one come to the folds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and guide this great mass that we have organized Do you know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has behind it an army that can put over almost any feasible proposition? An organization like this with nearly a thousand branches and hundreds of thousands of members, has untold possibilities all the Negro has to do is to have faith in God, faith in himself faith in his race and in his possibilities to climb higher and higher up the hill of modern achievement, and by his achievements and what he represents in the commercial, political and industrial world, by the spirit within him, he will compel and challenge admiration.

Even now, despite the trumpeting about Egyptian independence, England still maintains her strangle hold on the Sudan and the new King is but a British puppet, whilst the capitulations still remain to proclaim to an inquiring world that Egypt is not mistress in her own house, but is still to be exploited by any European who lists. The pledges, therefore, which the people of Palestine received from Great Britain when she was in dire need of their assistance to stem the advancing Turkish forces, are as worthless as a German one-mark note. And although Lord Islington, in his able defense of the rights of the Palestine majority, was successful in bringing about the defeat of the government, the money behind Zionism is too powerful and the gang at Downing street too supine for any change of policy to be expected at their hands. Over in Germany confusion becomes worse confounded. Hindenburg is going through the country on a regal tour which can only have for its aim the restoration of the monarchy. Following the assassination of Erzberger, we now have that of Dr. Ruthenau Socialists and Nationalists are making stable government almost impossible, although the workers are ready to rally to the defense of the republic. At the bottom of it all is the difficult economic position in which Germany finds herself. It is obvious that unless she has immediate financial assistance from without Chancellor Wirth will find it increasingly difficult to handle the situation. The Chancellor's appeal for unity has met with a hearty response, especially from Dr Carl Heuze of the German People's party, who declared that "We must unite our forces on behalf of Germany and abandon inflammatory party agitation." Chancellor Wirth's idea of dissolving the Reushstag, with a new election to follow, is the best policy in the circumstance, but whether he will be in a position to dissolve the reactionary organizations, as he states in his program, is quite another matter. It will be interesting to observe what action he will take in this connection with regard to the Socialists and Monarchists who have proved hitherto the most disturbing political organizations in republican Germany.
