The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Designed solely to the Interests of the Negro Race Fifteen Thousand Negro Preachers Invited To International Convention of Negroes To Discuss Religion And Belief of Race Fifteen Thousands To Internation To Discuss FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: The Third Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world will open in New York City, United States of America, on the 1st of August, and it is expected that thousands upon thousands of delegates representing the interests of the four hundred million Negroes of the world will take part in the great conclave. Macedonia's Cry For some time the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been advertising the holding of its great convention, and it is reasonable to assume that the Negroes of the world have not turned a deaf ear to this great cry from Macedonia. The hour has really come for the Negro peoples of the world to get together and do things on their own account. The holding of this convention will be a splendid opportunity for the race to demonstrate its intelligence and its ability for higher government. The Religion of the Negro As you scan the partial program of the convention you come across some of the most important items to be discussed. Among the many things are "Discussing the Future Religious Faith and Belief of the Negro." Such an item is of vital importance to the race, because if there is a race that is in need of proper religious training it is the Negro. When it is considered that those of us in the western world accepted a religion that all of us do believe in firmly and wholeheartedly without question, we will readily see that if there were anything incorrect in the principle we would have swallowed it wholesalely without placing it under the observation and scrutiny necessary. The convention will offer the opportunity of discussing this great question, and when it is considered that over fifteen thousand ministers of the gospel have been invited to this great conclave we can readily see the great amount of All Roads from the Four Corners of the 31st of August, 1922.

The Professional Negro Another great feature of the convention will be "discussing the future educational policy of the Negro." This is also another important item, because up to the present the Negro is an intellectual slave to the doctrines and teachings of other races. Thousands of lawyers, doctors and educators have also been invited to the convention, and they will be able to throw light on this important question. The thirty-four items of the partial program of the convention are all of great interest, and it is expected that the delegates will handle the different subjects with credit to the race. On every side we see preparations being made to make this convention the greatest thing of its kind. Men of all walks of life are unselfishly arranging to give of their time and money in helping to make the convention a success. It is incumbent upon each and every member of the race to do his and her part so that it cannot be said that anyone shirked the responsibility that was imposed for the common good.

The invitation that has gone out from the Universal Negro Improvement Association is broadcast to each and everyone; therefore it cannot be said that anyone has been passed over. This convention will be truly representative of the entire race in that the delegates will be coming from Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South and Central America, the United States of America, Canada and the West Indies. It is for us, therefore, to unitedly do our best to make the impression necessary upon an observant world. Those who cannot attend the convention in person are requested to give their moral and financial support. You can help the convention by advocating the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in your community. You can further help by sending in a contribution. It can be $1, $2, $5, $10, $50 or $100 to help in the expenses. When it is considered that the convention is to send a deputation abroad to represent its interest at the League of Nations and to interview certain foreign governments of Europe in the interest of the race, it will readily be seen that a great deal of money is necessary to carry through the program as outlined. You can send your financial help addressed to the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 54-56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A.

THE NEGRO WORLD KNOCKS A "HOME-RUN" IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS Black and White Enemies of Negro Manhood Movement on the Run in St. Croix, Says Casper Holstein—Negro World Expose Throws Them Into Consternation By CASPER HOLSTEIN While the cause of the Virgus taken up by quite a few Ameri including the Nation, the greatest yet I not sure whether any of the people in the islands. But will be glad to know that this Crox and that its recent articles caused a flutter of consternatic enemies of Negro manhood and judges Has the jumps While the cause of the Virgin Islanders in St. Croix has been taken up by quite a few American newspapers and magazines, including the Nation, the greatest national organ of liberal opinion, yet I not sure whether any of these publications have reached the people in the islands. But the readers of The Negro World will be glad to know that this paper is a power of sorts in St. Croix and that its recent articles on crackerism in that island have caused a flutter of consternation in the breasts of the cracker enemies of Negro manhood and their few black henchmen. One of the latter Mr Ralph Chabert, has felt so flabbergasted that he has been making a dead set at me as the writer of the first article giving my impression of things in St. Croix. Chabert contends that my publication of the hard facts is an attempt to lower the people of the Virgin islands in the opinion of the outside world. When is just as if a Southern Negro should deploy the fight which Northern Negroes are waging against lynching. Jim Crow and disfranchisement, on the ground that the telling of these things lowers the Southern Negroes in the eyes of other people. The contention would be a silly and dishonest one in either case. Chabert goes further in a personal form of controversy and tries to assepse my personal motives in the matter, blustering and collecting money from a few unfortunate people which he says is for a fund to have me brought back to the island. I am not fond of personal arguments; but I think that my own raceleve and loyalty to the cause of Negro manhood, whether in Liberty Hall or the Virgin Islands, hardly need to be stated by me. They stand nir my manifested in my deeds, deeds that were not done for ps, like those of Messrs. Chabert and Granady—but freely and fairly in the cause of justice and liberty. Therefore, if I venture to put certain questions to Mr Chabert I trust that the readers of The Negro World will realize that I do so only as a part of that work which The Negro World and its backers are doing all over the world where Negroes live, vis. The championing of Negro manhood rights by challenging oppression and wrong and attacking racial treachery and sycophany wherever these things raise their ugly heads. Surely if we attack these things in Africa and the British possessions we should attack the with even more energy in the Virgin Islands, because we can bring direct political pressure to bear there where the American flag floats, and with far greater success than in Hertt, where our marines can more pretense to the role of conqueror. In the Virgin Islands the people are Americans and can claim justice and freedom under the flag and the aid of all white and black Americans "at home" to achieve that justice and freedom. It should seem that when a group of people set out to agitate for reforms they are bound to set forth the facts of the situation which constitute their case if they want other people to give them sympathy and support. Therefore, Mr. Chabert in opposing a statement of the facts must be also opposing any reform of the wrongs which those facts make clear. Which is a singular stand for a Negro who pretends to be a leader to take. As a man of public pretensions, Chabert shows a callous contempt for the people's welfare. As to his raising money to bring me back I went to St. Croix, where I was born, on my own free will. I was able to pay my way there and back once, and am certainly able to do so again. I will take passage for St. Croix at any time when the public welfare of the people in that island may require it On the other hand, Chabert will not and cannot come to New York, while Granady, his disbarred legal adviser, dares not. A Few Questions And now let me address a few questions to Chabert and his chum which may help to make the conditions in St. Croix clearer to the readers of The Negro World. CLOUDS OF AFRIC The Negro World the Only I of Hocropodckon, in Dens Greetings to Third Int CLOUDS OF AFRICA AND RUSSIA HAVE BEEN VERY BLACK, SAYS RUSSIAN MOUJIK The Negro World the Only Paper That Comes to Village of Hocropodekon, in Densest Part of Russia—Sends Greetings to Third International Convention The following communication from a peasant in one of the central provinces of Russia is self-explanatory. It shows that Garveyism, despite what is being said to the contrary, is penetrating every corner of the civilized and uncivilized globe. "B. Kopemkob, "Maghovo Hocropodckon, Banex, June 10, 1922. "Dear Prof. Kerris: Has all parietary copies of The Nurgov World come to me and I must thank in an old-fashioned corner of the Russian village, where I have been. terrapoy of The Negro World We think about the condition of America Russia and Africa should be equally strong 1 A Word In Reason A Few Questions In their program of disruption and destruction of the St. Croix Labor Union did they declare during the early days of September that the union was bankrupt and had no money! Since it had money) when they took charge in Mr Jackson's absence it is fair to ask them how d the cracker their few black henchmen Isn't it true that in December late December mind your just before Jackson resume 'the reins of management over the union affairs, the following items appeared in the records "Paid to R. Chabert $300 for wages. Paid to R. Chabert $150 for provisions to be given to laborers during strike?' Isn't it true that when Chabert purchased see provisions, groceries, etc., from the wholesale merchants he often made his own grocery store the distributing center rather than the union headquarters?' And isn't it true that his help a were stacked for a after with the same kind of goods that were then on sale as his own? And were not the friends of Chabert the ones who mainly profited from such distributions as were made while the great bulk of honest union men and women were passed over and discriminated against? After Granady and Chabert had enacted a new law compelling the unions members to pay an additional tax for a death fund from which Chabert and Granady had promised death payments of $75, didn't they fall to keep their word? And isn't it true that the few payments made were made exclusively to the friends and supporters of Chabert? Concerning the attempt now being made by these two men who left the union under a heavy cloud to get possession of the union's funds and other properties it is proper to ask if their administration of the union's affairs was an honest and not a dishonest one why did they hide and carry away secretly many of the books of the union when they ended their own administration of its funds? In解答 the receivership for the union a property (apart from the bank) after they had declared the union bankrupt and insolvent, Chabert and Grandy are moved more by the thought of the sum of from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars which would accrue to them through such receivership than by any desire to help the union's members, who (despite the backing which Chabert and Granady get from the judge of the District Court and Magistrate Payne) still stand solidly behind Jackson and the regular officers of the union. Under these circumstances is the raid on the receivership an evidence of honest intent? Why, in addition, are they seeking the receivership of the only bank in the West Indies which was founded by black men under Jackson's directions? Why are these outsiders hungry to get their hands on the affairs of the bank of the St. Croix Labor Union? Is it not because by getting control of the outstanding debts to the bank they hope to be able to squeeze the "Herald" and the labor union out of existence, while they themselves grow rich on the fees which would be assigned them as receivers by their white cracker friends who are to make the assignment? To form a secret, underhanded alliance with a judiciary already notorious for its race prejudice and hostility to Negroes is hardly the right way to win greatness among Negroes either in St. Croix or anywhere else. And even a Turkish judiciary would be lowered in the eyes of its friends by consorting with men practicing such A AND RUSSIA HA VERY BLACK, SAYS Paper That Comes to Village Best Part of Russia—Sends International Convention our village, and it is The Negro World; so you can imagine how primitive the peasants are. The clouds about my country and you have been very black. When I read The Negro World and begin to think about the energy and blood-boiling speeches of the leaders at Liberty Hall I feel that some day the light of liberty will break through the clouds and shine upon the people of Africa and Russia. "I remember what Mr. Marcus Garvey said last August. 'We cannot hear in our Liberty Hall Russian, Irish and other peoples, but we will do what we think is best.' Stay on.

"At present I am not able to say a word about the Negro question, The Receivership THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1927 SPANISH ART TREASURES The ancient cathedrals and convents of Mexico contain many treasures of Spanish art, many of which, frameless and stacked in damp basements, have lost their signatures and are without means of identification. Some of the most wonderful are believed to be of African origin, for they show black Madonnas and "pickananny" cherubs. trick as are common to the aforementioned gentlemen. Let them answer before the bar of public opinion whether it isn't true that they collected in the name of the union purchase money from poor people who were buying their land on the installment plan at C and G's urgent request and issued to them receipts which are dishonest and worthless since these receipts read Received from on a parcel of land at estate Blessing (Bigned). St Crox Labor Union. In such a form it is easy to go into court and argue that these were receipts for rent and not for payments on the purchase price so that these poor dupes of Grand) and Chabert will find that when Chabert and Grandy as receivers come to administer the union affairs they will be dispossessed of their holdings because they can't prove by these receipts that they have been paying money for the purchase of the land'. And lent that a low-down truck for men of education to play on their less fortunate followers? These are some of the things to which these former officials of the St Crox Labor Union have reported in their efforts to destroy it in their mad career of "Rule or Ruin Now that they are preparing to launch a newspaper for their own petty purposes to fight Jackson and the labor union and stab them in the back just when all Virgin islanders of the working class especially need unity more than ever I want to recall to Christian readers a little episode in the New Testament. It will be found in the 26th chapter of Matthew a gospel. Now when the even was come He sat down with the twelve. And as they gave ear He said Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray me, and they were (excellently) sorrowful and begin every one of them to say unto Him Lord, is it 12 and He answered and said He that dipheth his hand with me in the ditch the same shall betray me. The Son of Man goeth as it is written of Him but woe unto that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed." It had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said 'Master is it 12.' He said unto him, 'Thou hast said.' May I claim the privilege of giving a name to the new Journal even though I won't be at home to hall the appearance—a name which anyone who picks up a copy may mentally assign to the production of the honest minds of Ginnady and Chabert* I nominate it The Judas Journal—and I pray that the name will stick. The world today appreciates the man of deeds, the organizer, the man who can wield masses together for uplift and improvement. For the syphonant who saplies to destroy by racerreason, dishonesty and double-dealing it has nothing but unmeasured contempt. That is why the names of D Hamilton Jackson, R Chabert and O Granady will descend to our posterity the first as the flavour of his people from degradation, poverty and ignorance, and the other two for the same reasons that made us remember Benedict Arnold and Judas Isacariot The program of the Virgin Islanders in the United States is taking shape and gathering such impetus that it will not let up nor yield ground until the denizens of Negro manhood, the vultures of the Virgin Islands and the traitors of the people's cause are put down or driven out. but I hope to be able to some day "My best wishes to the Third Convention of the Negro race "I am yours. "V. KORESHKOV" The graduation of the senior class of Mrs. Strothers' musical students took place at the New Star Casino Friday evening. June 10. Though every number on the program was well rendered and deserves commendation, yet especial mention should be given to Miss Arnie Williams, who rendered as a solo Laebbao's "Fifth Nocturne." Her interpretation and execution were noticeable and received the deserved appreciation and applause over that of many others. The solo (instrumental), "Grand Polla de Concert" (Bartlett), executed on the planoforte by Miss Carrie Calloway, showed much study and was well received by the great audience which sat throughout the piece spallbound. She was presented, as was Miss Williams, with a huge bouquet of American Beauties at the completion of their numbers. HUBERT COX TALKS ON IDEALISM AND THE NEGRO In aid of the work to establish a Society for the Study of Negro History, Mr H J Cox in a paper recently read at the auditorium of the 136th Street Public Library on "The Influence of Different National ideals on the Negro," said that an opportunity now presents itself which should be gramped by Negroes everywhere to acquaint themselves with their historical background before the dispersion by slavery. With Hume Mr Cox believes that whoever contributes to human happiness in any line of progress ought in so far to be regarded as benefactors to the human race. Continuing, he said that national ideals are ideas of perfection in all things that concern a nation. Invisible to the asked eye they are recognized as they strengthen the State, broaden education, arrest circumstance, master the unknown finally as they influence and control human conduct. The active representatives of the state or nation are the press law schools, churches, police, army and navy beliefs and aspirations patriotism and government. The Negro is continually under these influences from slavery to the present time as the GEORGE WASHINGTON SWAPPED A NEGRO FOR KEG OF RUM Senator Reads Letter of Father of H. C. WASHINGTON D. C. June 28—If George Washington were living today he would have to make many changes in his personal belief and practices to conform with the laws of the country of which he was the father. Senator Watson of Georgia, today read in the Senate letters written by Washington which showed that he not only was a slave owner but was addicted to habits which now are declared illegal both by the Volunteer act and the White Campbell and their law. Among the letters was one written by Washington to Capt John Thimp on a sailing mast who was about to start on a voyage to the southern islands.

Too "I always thought," Senator Stanley interrupted, that George Washington had his own stillhouse and made his own liquor, in other words, home brew. "I am not prepared to say whether that is correct" replied th. Senator from Georgia, but in the biographies it is said that the first thing he did on drinking in the morning was to take a drink of rum and at his dinner he had small cider or beer finishing up with two glasses of Madeira wine. "Do you think that is one of the reasons he never told a lie?" Senator Stanley asked. "Yes unquestionably that is one of the reasons," Senator Watson answered. "I wonder," Senator Watson said, if the father of our country ever anticipated that the time would come when we would have the Volstead act." Bio Transit Gloria Mundi "The world," Senator Myers remarked progresses and both slavery and rum have been abolished in the country. "I wish I could believe it," replied Senator Watson. "They have," said Senator Myers. "Abolished by edicts of law. It takes some time to put them into effect."

JAN SMUTS FAVORS GIVING AFRICANS THE VOTE Opposition Member Asks, "Did the Prime Minister Relish the Idea of a Black Typist?"— Proposition Ridiculed years roll by the connecting link gets fainter and fainter and the Negro mentally is changed completely in favor of alliance. Each country in the opinion of the speaker aims at the same end in so far as the Negro is concerned while pursuing different methods. A significant excerpt from the paper is under the heading Russia 'Marxian Socialism advances Autocracy is disposed. The Czarist regime is at an end Soviet and Workingmen's Councils are in order. The Negro as a worker thinks in terms of Socialism. Out of Monarchialism, Republicanism and Democracy emerges ownership of the means of production. That ownership and control of health. The individual Negro thinks of himself as a miniature state and holds the doctrine a panorama for all his ill. The appeals are to the reason of the Negro who like all people, have a latent desire for expansion and courts the extinction of power. The press of Russia aims at the release of the mental bondage of the Negro with an all-mature freedom of the body. The increasing attention given to Socialism by Negro verities the opinion asserted. JAN SMUTS FAVOR AFRIC Opposition Member Asks, Relish the Idea of Proposition CAPE TOWN, S.A. The first sitting of the Lt. Governor's临时委任 Debtors' Court was held on Tuesday in the Ridley Institute's living hall when the Prime Minister introduced a motion. The notwithstanding anything to the contrary this Hon. resolved that all other parts be removed from the Art of Law. FEDERAL PRESIDENT and the Prime Minister made a public statement that they were returned to war service would be taken to remit to the court. Now that they had to receive minority it was the intention of the government to introduce legislation to that end. Although the court said what was required to the court in poll tax waiver left the republican government behind. The S.A. man was appointed to the coerced corps with the responsibility of twisting new laws to maintain and strengthen the court. If the state of the coerced worker was asked to that of the white as it was the intention of the government to insure the would be a natural danger in removal of the bar. The colored people had tried every constitutional method, and sooner or later they would see the futility of anything constitutional and try direct action which would be a greater danger to the white population of this country than the consequences faced by the opposition in relation to the removal of the bar. "When the black man is fit to vote quoted the Dr. Mr. Minister, give him the vote when the white man is unfit to vote prohibit him from voting." The member for Krugerdorp, in his speech on behalf of the Opposition, wished to know whether the Prime Minister had considered the question as fully as was necessary to protect the white man in this country. If the colored people were given equal representation we would soon be all swept into the sea. We would soon have a colored civil service. Did the Prime Minister relish the idea of a black top suit? Perhaps we must be honored with a black Prime Minister? "Equal rights" was he agreed, theoretically correct, but this measure was not a practical one. The member for Calvainia said that the whites did not want "laborers -- they wanted slaves." "Certain people went out with the bottle in one hand and the Bule in the other." Another member of the S A P regranted the type of legislation. The S A P had never promised the colored man that he would be given equal rights. Referring to the previous member's remark, he defended them to point it a country which treated its "slaves" better. "The Prime Minister has forgotten all about the immigration color bar and the social color bar" the member for Beaconfield remarked. "The removal of these bars would be the ruin of the country. We would be flooded out with the objectionable type of immigrant in no time." The member for Caledon drew attention to the prisons. The majority of the inmates are colored. "Why?" interjected a member. "They are born that way," replied the hon. member, amid roars. The Rondebosch member regretted the short memory of the Opposition in regard to the Cape Corps, and remarked on the "loss of efficiency" due to the color bar. After a debate lasting two and a half hours the motion was declared carried. —The Cape Times. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY REGISTERED CHIROPODIST Motor Ligne Post Freighter— They Injure the Merven.

ERS GIVING CANS THE VOTE "Did the Prime Minister a Black Typist?"— a Ridiculed FIRST NEURO BISHOP KIMBERLEY—Between 300 and 400 colored citizens of Kimberley attended a meeting in the Constance Hall to hear an address by Bishop W T Vernon, A.M., D.D, LLD, a native of Kansas, who rose to attain the highest position in the political word held by a Negro, that of Registrar of the Treasury of the United States of America, and is now visiting this country as Resident Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in South Africa. Mr W L. Macleod and Mrs. H. J. Van Reegen said that to them a black bishop seemed almost an impossibility, because they had been so thoroughly impregnated with the prevailing feeling that a black man could do nothing except with pork and shovel, and that South Africa was destined to be a white man's country. In which the black man was forever to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. The bishop's presence was in the nature of a disturbance of the accepted notion of things. The bishop expressed delight in being in Kimberley, a city of such a liberal atmosphere. He showed what the black man had done under stress of prejudice, and declared that what one black man had done all black men could do, given the opportunity. All they asked was for the government to take the shackles off and let them run on a fair basis, so that the race would be for the swiftest. He said there was a coming together and a grouping of the colored people of the earth, which he believed boded for good. He believed that the two elements in South Africa, the fair-minded and just white men and sensible conservative colored men could march together and make South Africa a great country NOTICE Divisions and Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the State of New York This is to officially notify you that Rev.

BEEN LOOKING FOR GARVEY FOR 50 YEARS Tennessee Woman Says Father Dreamt of Coming of Great Negro Leader BY MRS. JENNIE JONES TRENTON, Tenn., June 20—I have been reading and looking for this man, Hon. Marous Garvey, for 50 years, I have been told by my father that the right man was certainly coming to do this work for the race—our race—and thank God I have had the pleasure of reading about the great work he is doing amidst obstacles, persecution and divers difficulties. I think the Hon. Marous Garvey is the right man in the right place, and he is the one to whom my dear father was referring in years gone by. I do hope God will help me to not only read of him but also give me the strength, opportunity and pleasure of attending the great meeting—the Third International Convention of Negroes in New York, from August 1 to August 31, for I believe my eyes shall see my salvation—yes, the salvation of the race, through this medium of Mr. Garvey and this great meeting to be. I believe God sent him to do this work and to further the great cause. I am praying for his success and will do all I can for him to help to continue the work for the redemption of our fatherland—Africa. Enclosed you will find my subscription to The Negro World. I do not want to miss a copy or the account of the convention. Although my subscription is not due, yet I wish to renew at once. With warmest regards for progress and the advancement of the race.

LIBERTY HALL. Tuesday Night, July 4, 1922—Four thousand followers and friends of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association packel Liberty Hall to night and literally outdid themselves in an effort to accord the heartiest and most enthusiastic of welcomes to the President General Hon Marcus Garvey on his return to headquarters after an absence of two months visiting the various divisions throughout the country. The manifestations of loyalty, love, respect and admiration they displayed were only such as could have been shown by a people possessing the utmost confidence and faith in the integrity of a man whom they and the millions of their race have chosen as their leader and to whom they look for guidance and direction in the task set before them of redeeming the race and placing it in a position where it will rank as a nation among the other nations of the world. As though conscious of the great burden and responsibility which devolve upon him as a leader of his race, Mr Garvey received the honors showedered upon him without the slightest sign of emotion, but with a police and dignity befitting his exalted position, acknowledging them with a constant bowing and an occasional smile. From the moment the doors were flung open the people began to enter in throngs, notwithstanding the fact that an admission of fifty cents was charged, and soon every seat in the great auditorium was filled. No sooner had the President General entered the building than a roar of applause went up that could be heard for blocks away. It subsided at intervals only to break forth again with increased vigor, and culminated in the audience rising and singing the first stanza of the Ethiopian National Anthem, when the President General ascended the platform. The various units of the division namely the African Legion, the Black Cross Nurses, Motor Corps and Juveniles, turned out in full strength and presented an imposing specacle in the procession which preceded the program, as they marched down the aisles with the precision of a well-trained and disciplined army The meeting was opened in the usual way by the singing of the opening ode, followed by prayer and then a splendid musical program specially prepared for the occasion. Hon G E G. Carter, special assistant to the President General, presided over the meeting, and before presenting the speaker of the evening, introduced Miss Lillian Willis, a field worker, who also has been absent from Liberty Hall for some time, and Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies. Both of them delivered brief but inspiring addresses which were well received. The President General was then introduced and on rising to speak was given a tremendous ovation. He spoke for about an hour and held the attention of the audience for every moment thereof as he told of the thrilling experiences which he encountered during his travels; of the opposing forces at work to retard the progress of the association, and of the successful manner in which he had frustrated their plans. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Garvey said he met with a hearty response wherever he went. From Maine to California sentiment among Negroes has gone wild for the program of the N U I A. The power of the organization is felt not only in the North, not only in the South, but in the far West; in fact, the whole country is cleaned up for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He went into details of the incidents in connection with his visit to Oakland, Cal., and New Orleans, La., at which places the aid of the police authorities was invoked to prevent his meetings, but in spite of that, the association won and held the largest meetings that have ever been staged by any Negro organization in those places. He made passing reference to his interview with the Imperial Wizard, of the Ku Klux Klan, in Atlanta, Ga., and gravel somewhat of a disappointment when he said that he would not enter into details of the interview, at the occasion, as the most important thing to him at this time was the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His visit, Mr. Garvey said, through the Western and Southern States has made a large number of friends for the organization, but he warned that the association is now at the point where we have to take a decided stand to put over its big program. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said had passed out of the organization stage, it had entered the stage of higher government and their task and responsibility were greater than the task of any other group of people in the world—greater because other races had already established their empires while the Negro race was now in the process of creating a government, which meant that we must have men of vision and ability, and men of character and above all men of honesty. The governments of the world are expecting us. Mr Garvey said, to do wonderful things at this coming convention and we must endeavor not to disappoint them. In conclusion, he reassured his hearers that the organization is moving throughout the world like a mighty tornado sweeping everything before it and there was absolutely nothing which should cause the membership to be discouraged. On the contrary it would be found on making a review of the work for four and a half years that the organization started from nothing and today it occupies a place among the great governments of the world. The speech in full follows below Hon. J. Garvey spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, may it please your Excellency, the West Indian Leader, Members of the High East African Council, Member and Friends of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; I am indeed pleased to be in Liberty Hall once more. I have come back to you after a tour of two months of the United States of America, and I understand that you are expecting me to say much about the Ku Klux Klan and about the Southern States. I am sorry in a way that I will have to disappoint you tonight, in that I have so much to say that it is impossible for me to start with the Ku Klux Klan. I may end with the Ku Klux Klan, but I have to start with the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association because it is the most important thing to me at this time. (Applause.) The Anniversary of American Independence We today within the United States of America celebrate the anniversary of independence. One hundred and forty-six years ago the fathers of this country declared its independence. Whatsoever you see in America today—and we see much—is attributable to the sacrifice, to the labor, to the patriotism of the men who laid the foundation of this great government. Today as one travels throughout the length and breadth of the United States of America one comes in contact with a wonderful civilization. You who are constantly and permanently domiciled at one place can hardly appreciate, can hardly understand, the magnitude and the greatness of this American civilization; but the one who travels from city to city, from State to State, from North to South, from East to West, comes in direct contact with a mighty civilization that stands out as a monument to the labor, the courage, the endurance, the sacrifice of somebody, and today every white American within the bounds of the United States of America, and even throughout the world, feels that he is that somebody to whom that monument stands. I do hope that 146 years from today a new race will be able to look back to such a monument and give themselves credit for the construction thereof. (Applause.) America a White Man's Country America a white man's Country As I have traveled the United States of America I become convinced the more that this great country is a white man's country and I become convinced the more that this great white man is not going to yield up to any other man in the world, not even if he comes in the person of Jesus Christ, this land that he loves. More and more as I travel through the country I realise the determination of the white man to hold on tenaciously to this civilization that he has constructed for his own convenience, for his own satisfaction and for his own happiness, and more and more J. B. YEARWOOD THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 15. 1922 I become convinced that the Negro is drifting aimlessly, purposely before a world that does not consider him one bit. That we are not considered in the world today among the great governments and nations of the world is not a new story and it is nothing hard to discover. The student of politics can readily realize, the student of political economy can readl' see that, therefore, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association becomes more important just at this time—the work of creating a government for a great people and promulgating the doctrines of the emancipation of 400,000,000 Negroes. U. N. I. A. Program Heartily Welcome I betook myself to the Eastern and Mid-Western States, the Southern, the Western and Northwestern States of the great United States of America, and wheresoever I have been I have met with a hearty response, a hearty welcome for the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause) From Maine to California sentiment among Negroes has gone wild for the program of the U N. I A (applause) and I suppose you could have seen it and understood it without my telling you that, because of the many things that have been said and written since I left New York. You know a lot of things have been said and written among our own race among other organizations and in the white press. Every time you find newspapers publishing something against the U. N. I A, just at that moment the U N. I A is pressing harder and they feel it the more (Applause) We have made them feel the power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, not only in the North, not only in the South, but in the far West. We have cleaned up the whole country for the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause) Threatened With Arrest TREATMENT WITH ARMS When I left here every step I made—every mile I went practically—somebody told me that at the next stop I would be arrested, and I have made sixty-five stops the first of May, when I left New York, and I have not been arrested yet. (Applause and laughter) I suppose they were all prepared for the scene of my arrest or something of the kind in that whereover I went, especially in the strongholds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I found groups of local men—colored men, some belonging to the N. A. A. C. P., some as local politicians and some as ministers of the Gospel—who were organized to keep me out of that particular community. Knowing that they had not the power to keep me out of their community, they had invoked the assistance of the civil authorities and the municipal authorities long before, confronting them with the statement that I am coming there for the purpose of starting riots and revolution and so forth, and that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was a revolutionary organization and that I should not be permitted to speak in that particular city. The first place that happened in Oakland, Cal. When I arrived in San Francisco I was met by a delegation from the Oakland Division, where I think we have 5,000 members. It appears that for three weeks the local authorities, the members of the N. A. A. C. P., and the preachers were organizing to keep me out of that city, in that there were only 10,000 Negroes in Oakland, and they were afraid with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They approached the police chief and asked him to cancel the permit he gave for the people to parade the theater for me to speak in the City Auditorium. For three weeks the local division was handicapped and embarrassed, not knowing what to do. When I arrived there the police chief gave out an order that I was not to speak in the city. My first arrangement was made to speak at 8 o'clock, not knowing the distance between Oakland and Los Angeles was so far that it could not be made if I spoke at 8 o'clock. I found it impossible to speak at 8 o'clock in Oakland if I spoke in Los Angeles at 8 o'clock that Sunday afternoon. So that the arrangement had to be altered. Nevertheless I found I was impossible for me to speak because the police commissioner had said I could not speak in the city, and I instructed the president of the local division to take me to the police commissioner. I went to him, and as usual (he is a southerner) his only argument was this: "You shall not speak; you shall not speak." That was the only argument he could raise, and I realised there that his only authority was mob rule or mob violence. I told him I would speak, and if I did not speak it was simply because I had not the time to test out his authority for saying I could not speak in the city So I arranged instead of speaking at 8 o'clock—in that I could not make the train for Los Angeles—I would change the meeting for Saturday afternoon, and instructed the president to get the attorney of the local organization to secure an injunction enjoining the police commissioner from interfering with the meeting, and we held in the presence of the police commissioner and his staff one of the biggest Saturday evening meetings I ever addressed in the seven years I have been identified with the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) I left Oakland about 5 or 6 o'clock that afternoon for Los Angeles, where again they made an attempt to prevent me from speaking in the city, but we were so strong in Los Angeles that the city officials realised that the organization was not something to be tampered with, and so the Mayor of the city was so appreciative of the work of the association that he sent a special representative to welcome me to the city of Los Angeles. (Applause) I spoke to thousands of members of the association in the beautiful city of Los Angeles, and today we have a splendid branch, a resuscitated branch, of the Association working there. We met our friend Mr Thompson, and Mr Thompson is now as calm as a lamb, and I believe he is a loyal and good member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association once more. (Applause) I traveled throughout the entire Western States and the Pacific Coast and had splendid meetings and then I stretched over to Oklahoma and to Texas and Louisiana, where he had beautiful meetings, also in the Southern States—beautiful meetings from the point of view that the people turned out by hundreds and thousands in the States of Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. In Louisiana I believe they came from all sections of the line, they had special trains running at different sections of the State so as to hear me speak. But again I had another experience in the city of New Orleans—the heart of the South. The preachers there got together and said, "Garvey shall not speak in New Orleans." In New Orleans we have about 5,000 members, and I never knew anything about the matter until about an hour before I was supposed to speak that night. There were about 5,000 people there—2,000 inside the building and 3,000 outside who could not get in. The hall was crowded and the streets around were blocked with people trying to get into the building. About the time I was about to go over the secretary came and told me that the police prohibited the meeting in view of the face that they had not secured a permit. The president and one of the officers of the Advisory Board ran immediately to see the police chief to get an emergency permit for the meeting. It was about a quarter to nine, and the police chief adopted the same attitude as the one in Oakland, Cal, and even worse—or he did not know what to say. All at he knew and could say was that "Garvey shall not speak." and that, moreover, a body of men were meeting in the city at that time—white men—who were considering running me out of town in the next half hour, they were preparing to carry out a lynching party. I sent back word to tell them that we had 5,000,000 substantial oak trees between Africa and the West Indies (laughter and applause) and we were ready for a lynching party that night if they wanted to start one. It happened that they kept the men for about half an hour, when it was absolutely too late for us to hold a meeting. In that he refused to give the permit, and the men came back and told me that I could not speak in that town. I did not know that it was so serious, otherwise if I had been informed earlier in the evening we would have had two splendid meetings in New Orleans. But the next morning I took the president and secretary to one of the best firms of lawyers in the city and got an injunction granted to us by Judge Parker, a brother of the Governor of the State, restraining the Mayor of the city and the acting Police Commissioner from interfering with the meeting and that night we had one of the biggest meetings ever held by Negroes in the South (Applause). The police chief was represented that night by several of the men in jurisdiction and several dozen Secret Service men and detectives that lined up at the front of the platform—just as these ladies are here now—that near I was to them. Their faces were turned to me and the police chief looked up in my face as I was about to start, and I started with him first. (Laughter.) The remarks I made will be published in The Negro World, because the whole speech was taken down for my protection in that they had men there who were trying to take it down and also special representatives of the different papers. Things got so hot that the police chief rose and said: "If you say one word about the police force I will lock you up." My retort to him was: "Sit down there! Sit down!" (Uprarious applause and laughter) For the first time we made a Southern police chief eat his own —rdrs and sit down in the heart of the South; and we gave him to understand that we were standing on our constitutional rights. He was remonstrated with by a reporter from the Times-Picayune and remained quiet for a while, but then things got so hot for him he walked out and lined up the police force outside, brought a patrol wagon and watched the meeting for about half an hour. There were over 2,500 people inside and about 4,000 outside. It was reported to me that the police chief got so nervous that he rang up his wife and told her he could not come home, as there were about 4,000 Negroes around him. (Laughter.) He also rang up police headquarters and ordered them to keep every man ready for duty. That information was supplied on the platform and we warmed up the more. When the meeting up a guard of honor for me to march through (laughter) from the building where I spoke (Longbrancher's Hall) to the place where I had my abode, which was just opposite the hall, and the police chief and myself perked the best friends and the Universal Negro improvement Association is anchored forever, as far as its dignity and honor are concerned, in the city of New Orleans, La. From there I journeyed to Atlanta, Ga. where I had an interview with the acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (Mr. Edward Young Clark). For two hours on that Sunday we had a conversation among ourselves about the attitude of the Ku Klux Klan toward the Negro race in America and the Negro race in general. That interview will be published in The Negro World, and my comment on that interview will be made on Sunday evening of the coming week in this hall. It will take me over an hour to explain the nature of the interview, and I am not prepared for it tonight in that I have ever so much more to speak about U. N. I. A. Has Made a Wonderful Impression Colossal Program for Convention I want you to realize that the program for the convention this year is something so colossal, so great, that it is to be engineered and put over by the biggest minds of the race. Unfortunately some of the men that are in the organization now are unable to measure up to the higher work of the organization. I am sorry for some of them, because they have not prepared themselves for the bigger work; but we cannot afford to allow a gigantic world-wide movement like this to stagnate because of the wrong man in the wrong place, as far as leadership of this race is concerned. There is one consolation I have—that I cannot get away from the race—and so long as I am in the race, and since I have sense and judgment enough to know that what affects the race affects me, it is my duty to help the race to clear itself of those things that affect us in common. We must now realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed really out of the organization stage; that is to say, where ordinary organization is concerned. You have gone into the stage of higher government; you are really a government in the multiple. Some of us do not seem to realize the magnitude, the scope, the responsibility of this great organization. What are we trying to do? We are not trying to reformate a government; we are not trying to control a government; we are not trying to discipline a government. LISTEN ADVERTISERS!

Your task, your responsibility is greater today than the task of any other group of people in the world. Your task is greater than the task of the 88,000,000 white Americans of this country. Your task is greater than that of the 65,000,000 Anglo-Saxons who make up the British Empire; greater than the 88,000,000 Frenchmen that make up the French Empire; greater than the 45,000,000 Italians that make up the Italian Empire, because those empires have already been created. Your task is to create a government, therefore your responsibility is greater than the American, than the Frenchman, than the Englishman, than the Italian. Therefore, you have to exhibit a greater amount of intelligence in creating your government than is necessary for the white American to show in running his government. You have to exhibit a higher amount of intelligence than the Englishman in creating your government, because all that is necessary is ordinary intelligence to run his government. That means, therefore, we must have men of vision and ability and men of character and, above all, men of honesty (applause) and that is so hard to find. I am sorry I am disgusted. I am disappointed about this race of ours. It is so hard. It is so difficult to find men who will stick to a purpose, who will maintain a principle for the worth of that principle, for the good of that purpose, and if there is a race that needs such men in the world, God Almighty knows it is this race of ours. What the other people can afford to do we cannot afford to do. If we attempt to do it we will be completely ruined, and it therefore devolves upon the forthcoming international convention to create a new slate for the guidance of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. We are going to have the warmest of conventions, and I am prepared for it. I understand more about the methods used at the last two conventions than I understood before. Last convention a lot of things were put over in backroom meetings and upstairs meetings and by politics and slipping somebody something, but that will not happen at this convention. I am aware that some of you members have unconsciously allowed yourselves to be your own stumbling blocks by being the instruments of unworthy individuals who tried to foster propaganda to carry out their ends to your ultimate destruction but to their satisfaction. My study of the situation has revealed to me the fact that we need to a great measure a new class of men who are worthy of the confidence of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to carry out this colossal program that we have set before ourselves, and I feel that the many divisions I have visited all over the country will be sending to this convention their most representative men. We have recruited a splendid grade of men throughout the country—men who are well prepared scientifically, educationally and in every way, and these men shall present themselves at this convention, and I feel sure that with the high intelligence we will exhibit there we shall be able to create a new government worthy of the leadership of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. So we are looking forward to a greater future—a future that portends all that is good. Governments Are Watching Us I cannot tell you all that has come to my attention since we have started to prepare for this convention, but I know this, that the governments of the world are watching us now with keener interest than they have ever done before, because the governments of the world are expecting us to do wonderful things EXTRA KU KLUX KLAN SEEKS TO EXPAND TO EUROPE ATLANTA, July 10. — In the hope of effecting the formation of a world alliance of Caucasian Protestants, Jesse O. Wood, member of the Atlantic City Council and editor of The Searchlight, the semi-official organ of the Ku Klux Klan, has called for Europe. He is making the trip, according to announcement, on business for the Southern Publicity Association of which he is an officer. This organization, he said, by Edward "sung Clarke, Imperial Wizard pretem of the klan, undertook the publicity and pro- work of the klan. at the forthcoming convention, and surely we shall not disappoint them. Receives Communication From League of Nations Today I had the pleasure of receiving a letter from the secretary of the League of Nations. He is expecting a delegation from this great convention—a delegation that shall go there to represent the claims of the 400,000,000 Negroes for the restoration of Africa (Applause.) That will make you realize that we have to have men who are fitted mentally, physically and by character for the proper representation of this race of ours. So that you will realize that the association has really passed out of the ordinary stage of organization; that we have gone into the sphere of government. We hope to do much for this race than all the other organizations put together are contemplating doing; therefore we must have abler man. The Universal Negro Improvement Association needs now the ablest minds in the world to lead an organization of this kind, because you have the biggest program, the most gigantic task to put over—a task that calls for a bigger mind than that of David Lloyd George, a bigger mind than that of Charles Evans Hughes, a bigger mind than that of Briand of France, a bigger mind than that of Lenine and Trotky of Russia, to lead and pioneer and blaze the way for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world under the guidance of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) I want you to understand that you as members of the association and you as friends and sympathizers of the association, by your desire to see the thing go, arrogate to yourselves an attitude that I. not reasonable and is not fair. To an organization that is seeking to represent your interests I want you to understand that there cannot be two managements for any one concern. There is an old saying that "Too many cooks make bad broth." The attitude of Negroes is this: Each individual is his own boss, his own director, and if ten of us belong to one thing the ten must manage it and the ten must rule. You know what that means? It means chaos; it means failure. Nothing in the world in all history has ever succeeded in that way; and I understand that the difficulties of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied auxiliaries have always been individuals intertwining with something they knew absolutely nothing about. The thing for you to do at all times is first of all to get the right kind of people to represent you, and when you get the right kind of people to represent you, it is your duty to stand by them and A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League.

NEW YORK, JULY 15, 1922 No. 22 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. HEREDITY AND ENVIRONMENT RECENTLY the literary society of the Boston division and another literary society in the Hub staged a debate upon the theme, "Which is more important in the life of an individual, heredity or environment?" It reminded us of debates in earlier days upon the question, "Which is more destructive, fire or water?" That debate ended with the general agreement that both a raging fire and an irresistible flood could work great havoc and destruction. We read in the Bible how Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by brimstone and fire, and how the world was engulfed in a flood. Similarly both parties to the Boston debate would admit that heredity and environment have played an important part in the evolution of the individual and the race. It might be interesting to consider the relation of heredity and environment to the race question in America. Usually when the Caucasian discusses the Negro he only considers heredity. And usually when the Negro discusses himself he only considers environment. If the Caucasian would think more of the effect of environment upon the colored youth he would be more considerate of him, and if the Negro would think more of the possibility of changing his environment he would be more hopeful. Thus when the Caucasian critic speaks of the Negro, and says as Gustave Le Bon said of the Negro, that he could master languages and mathematics, but that it would take the Negro three hundred years to think and act like the great races which have made history, he considers the Negro as he would a tree or a rock, as a thing which had stable and unchanging characteristics. But it is not so. The Negro is a spiritual being who can be improved by education and moulded by environment. Just as it was possible for savages who roamed the German forests two thousand years ago to evolve into civilized beings who live in steam-heated and electric-lighted houses, surrounding themselves with the comforts and luxuries of life, so it is possible for the native African and his descendants in the western hemisphere to reach a much higher degree of civilization than they at present have attained. The speed that a man can attain to in a race not only depends upon his stamina, but upon the fact that nothing impedes the free movement of his limbs. Heavy clothes and a ball and chain attached to one of his limbs will undoubtedly slow him up considerably. So it has been with the Negro in America. In the North the attitude of the trades unions has impeded his economic progress. In the South restricted educational opportunity, disfranchisement, jim crowism and the mob have depressed him and inhibited his ambition. While the Negro in America since his emancipation from bondage fifty-seven years ago has cut down his illiteracy from 80 to 20 per cent, while he has accumulated over a billion dollars' worth of property, has a bank account of approximately a billion dollars and has invested millions of dollars in Liberty Bonds, it is well for the Caucasian to remember that the Negro has made this progress while suffering from the handicaps of race and color. It is well also for the Negro to remember that it is the divine prerogative of man that he does not succumb to a hostile environment, but can successfully battle against it. Man shelters himself from the icy blasts of winter by warm clothes and shoes and ear muffs and well built houses, heated by the combustion of coal. He turns night into day by electric lights; he tunnels mountains; he bridges chasms; he throws suspension bridges across rivers; he annihilates distance by the telephone, telegraph and wireless telegraphy. And it is well to remember that black men have played a part in man's conquest of nature. A Dutch Guiana Negro invented a shoe last that is used by the United Shoe & Leather Company of Boston. Granville Woods of Cincinnati invented a transmitter to a telephone. Elijah McCoy of Detroit, Michigan, patented several electrical devices. Lewis Latimer of Flushing, L. I., invented an incandescent lamp. John Turner of Boston invented a diving apparatus that broke all records. And Matt Henson conquered the terrors of the frigid zone with Peary at the North Pole. The Jews have faced the fires of persecution for two thousand years until today the Jews are the bankers and brokers of America in Europe. a Jew one of England's most famous statesmen, a Jew a most popular philosopher in France, a Jew the greatest mathematician in Europe, and a Jew the virtual ruler of Russia, shows the ease of man to overthrow a hostile social advancement. By his personality and character, his brain and his tact, his deeds and accomplishments in the industrial, commercial, literary, artistic, musical, political worlds the Negro can win his way as his people have the will and he must have done ever since.

Its chivalry to the adventurous min- unity to re-live the stur- Stearns and H L. Mer- y, there is overwhelm ckwoads flamboyancy ACCORDING to Marcus Garvey the Ku Klux Klan is not particularly an Anti-Negro Society. It is a well known fact that the Jew, not only in this country but everywhere, is first, last and all the time out to protect and uphold the interests of the Jew. That is a vital part of his philosophy of life. It is the old hackneyed theory of the survival of the fittest. The Ku Klux Klan, dominated by self-interest, is out to realize an ideal That ideal, it so happens is to hold up the torch of white supremacy; to, at any cost, make America safe for the white people play the major role in our national life. Of course in its frantic efforts to do this, it comes into conflict with necessarily sensitive groups—Catholics, Jews, Negroes. Mr Garvey's antidote—and it is the best put forth so far—is not to "antognize" it, not to petition Congress about it, not to obstruct its activities, but to organize, to organize in our own behalf! That's the idea—organize in our own behalf! That the recent exposé of the New York World only helped to advertise it is a well known fact. Its chivalric-race-purity-woman-rescuing tenets appeal to the adventurous mind of the American. It gives him an opportunity to re-live the stirring frontier days, and despite what Harold Stearns and H L. Mencken and the Younger Intellectuals have to say, there is overwhelmingly a lot of barbarity and roughness and backwoods flamboyancy in our America OUT OF RUSSIA newspaper comes to our world."

This is not culled from the passionate outbursts of an adherent out in the pearl-bedded isles of the Caribbean, nor is it from Texas or the backwoods of West Virginia, but out of the very bosom of Russia. From Hocropodckon Mr V. Koreshkon writes. "Every copy of The Negro World makes me think about the condition of the peoples of Russia and Africa. The clouds about my country and yours have been very black. When I read The Negro World and begin to think about the energy and blood-boiling speeches of the leaders at Liberty Hall I feel that some day the light of liberty will break through the clouds and shine upon the peoples of Africa and Russia." And yet there are those who wonder at the magic of Garveyism, at its ability to capture the imagination of the proletariat, black or white. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI In the month of June I briefly discussed the question of the necessity for an entirely Negro government in the late German colonies in East Africa. On that occasion I promised to return to the subject again. In view of the approach of the Universal Negro Improvement Association's convention I consider it opportune to deal more fully with the question in this issue, inasmuch as it will be quite impossible to ignore it at the forthcoming convention, especially in view of the Hon. Marcus Garvey's careful statement in regard to his recent interview with the "imperial wizard" at Atlanta. I am not sure that the League of Nations, or the governments forming the league, really desire to help the Negro in the direction of independence. The Negro himself is largely to blame for this condition of affairs. It is his duty to agitate constitutionally and keep that agitation alive. It is useless to say that the new world Negroes have no habitation in Africa; that the climate is bad and the "savages" are worse than the climate, and all the other senseless arguments of a lime character. It is curious to note in passing that despite these "disadvantages," of which the "advanced" Negro frequently complains, the European has managed to hear these imaginary ills and has succeeded in enriching him at the expense of the so-called "savage" and of Africa. --- a growing volume of American repatriation, and the should be stated for them it should be known both from the United States possessions in the West in the French colonies and in the late war.

It might the New World are correctly because of their to appreciate such economi them in the West rather it receive at the hands of occupying or protecting "spheres of influence" Fortunately there is a growing volume of opinion among patriotic Negroes in favor of African repatriation, and this being the case it is high time that the case should be stated for the information of the League of Nations, to whom it should be known that Negroes to the number of two million, both from the United States of America and from the British colonial possessions in the West Indies and South America, as well as from the French colonies and protectorates, fought on behalf of the allies in the late war. The Jews also fought in the late war. The Jews, through Great Britain's mandate in Palestine, have been given a home from which they were driven centuries ago, which home they had previously conquered. The Negroes, on the other hand, who are not actually aborigines of Africa, are descended from such aborigines. The continent of Africa is their homeland, and they have every reason to expect that they shall be given a home as and when they might desire to return there. It might be advanced that the "advanced" Negroes in the New World are contented with the conditions, and therefore, partly because of their training and education, they are more likely to appreciate such economic and political advantages as are accorded them in the West rather than those negative benefits which they might receive at the hands of the various European governments who are occupying or protecting the several African peoples within the many "spheres of influence" in Africa. --- chypothesis it would be that in the British a the condition of the becoming worse as you produced in the various economic advancement of the as a continued reduction and in the lower was to voice whatever in the way which they form,ries as the Republics of my consideration at the where they have been comic condition. The Brit that they are not accrued to protect the interests englishmen and white between the treatment in the West Indies, and under the British flag in In rebuttal of this hypothesis it would be as well to inform the League of Nations that in the British West Indies and British South America the condition of the Negro politically and economically is becoming worse as years advance. Legislation is being introduced in the various colonies which is detrimental to the economic advancement of these Negroes by reason of the fact that there is a continued reduction in the wages of the laborers on plantations and in the lower walks of industrial life. Politically they have no voice whatever in the management of the affairs of the majority which they form, and those who have migrated to such countries as the Republics of Guatemala and Honduras do not receive any consideration at the hands of these South American Republics, where they have been compelled to immigrate to better their economic condition. The British Ministers in these Republics have stated that they are not accredited by His Britannic Majesty's government to protect the interests of Negroes, but to protect the interests of Englishmen and white colonials. There is a considerable difference between the treatment meted out to Negroes in the French Colonies in the West Indies, and that which is accorded the same ethnic stock under the British flag in the same hemisphere. --- French rule in the New force with adequate repre- sent in Paris. On the owl own, although their loy- ness received that high con- sideration they so justly deserve. Us have also labored un- a citizenship which is eastern States of the Unit is are frequent and une a Negroes have really not because they do not The Negro under French rule in the New World is for the most part a citizen of France with adequate representation at the seat of the French Government in Paris. On the other hand the Negroes under the British crown, although their loyalty has and remains unquestioned, have not received that high consideration at the hands of Great Britain that they so justly deserve. In the United States of America the Negroes have also labored under considerable disadvantages in spite of a citizenship which is practically valueless; especially in the Southern States of the United States of America lynchings and burnings are frequent and uncontrolled by the law of the country, and the Negroes have really become discontented with their unenviable lot because they do not find any solution for a very vexed problem. They feel with the Negroes of the British West Indies that they have a right to settle and as when they then desire in the land of their forefathers, and in view of the fact that they have fought as well as the Negroes of the West Indies in the interest of "self-determination" and the "rights of small nationalities," they are of the opinion that they should not be left out of any calculation which has for its object the apportioning of the lands of their people in Africa. In these circumstances it is the duty of the League of Nations to see to it that the Negroes shall have a settlement in the late German colony of East Africa where a government could be formed comprising intellectual Negroes from the United States of America, and from the British West Indies. This government might also include some of the educated East Indians who at present form a large portion of the trading community in British East Africa and who have vested interests in that portion of Africa. But it must be understood that whilst the League might be sympathetically disposed to help the Negro to a settlement in his homeland, the Negroes must be prepared to manifest their wants in a manner at once unequivocal and insistent. God helps those who help themselves. Such governments could be under the protection of the South African Union, which at present holds the mandate for the late German East African Colony. It might be alleged that the Negroes are incapable of adequately carrying on a government for and by themselves. It should, however, be pointed out that notwithstanding the disadvantages under which the republics of Hayti and Liberia have labored, they have both carried on a comparatively successful government—one extending over one hundred years and the other nearing its centennial. Moreover, the contact which the Negroes in the New World have had with Western forms of government since the foundation of the Hawaiian republic and that of Liberia places them in a much higher intellectual plane than were their brothers who established and carried on the government in the two republics named above. There is no body of people who have deserved more at the hands of the allied governments than the Negroes of the New World and of Africa. It should be borne in mind that the Negroes of the British Gold Coast Colony and Nigeria assisted in the late war, as well as those from Senegal, under the French Government, who fought on the French front, and because of this they have every right to expect that some portion of their own land may be reserved for them where they might safely enjoy the blessings of freedom and political liberty, which is the right of every member of the human family. It cannot be too greatly insisted upon that the present unrest which obtains among Negroes throughout the world, and more particularly in the New World, might very largely be remedied by the establishment of a government in Africa for Negroes, operated by Negroes in their own political and economic interest. It is obvious that it is not in the nature of things that the majority of Negroes would immigrate from the New World to Africa, but it is reasonable to suppose that those who form the industrial and intellectual groups among these Negroes would welcome an opportunity for the acquisition of a home which they could call their own, because at the present time, with the exception of Liberia, no body of Negroes from the New World would be allowed to immigrate to the home of their forefathers in Africa without objectionable and pernicious hindrances from the Europeans who are now occupying and administering the country. It is a notorious fact that no educated Negro is permitted to settle in any British African colony. Even Negro missionaries are not encouraged to enter Africa for the purpose of enlightening their backward brothers. These demands are not merely sentimental. They are the demands of justice, and it is devoutly to be hoped that the League of Nations will be alive to the dangers which are threatened from this large body of Negroes if they are not granted an adequate outlet for intellectual, political and industrial expansion. . . . --- THE QUEEN OF SHEBA The Queen of Sheba and Her Only Son, Menylek 'A complete translation of the Kebra Nagast, with introduction by Sir E. A Walls Budge Keeper, Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities, British Museum (London, 1922, the Medici Society 30s.net.) That the rulers of Abbyssinia claim descent from a son of King Solomon by the Queen of Sheba is known to the students of the history and legends of that country. Officially the Emperor of Abbyssinia is styled "The Conqueror Lion from the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings of Ethiopia." (In Amarpic the phrase King of Kings is Negus Nagaat; hence the old usage of "Negus of Abbyssinia") According to the received story, the Queen of Sheba's son was named Menylelek, or Menleek, and it was, as bearing the same name as his ancestor in the tenth century B.C that the late Emperor of Ethiopia called himself Menleek the Second. The word means "a second self," but the likeness of the original Menleek we are told, was to Solomon, not to his mother. Menleek and Solomon were as like as two peas in a pod. As the Ethiopian account puts it, when the young man went to Jerusalem to see the monarch whose daunting wisdom twenty years before had so powerfully attracted his mother, "the all-household knew without telling that a son was being taken in to his father." But we are getting on too quickly. This comparison between father and son we are only able to make through the good offices of Sir Willis Budge, who has put not only students of history and legend, but all readers with a taste for the marvelous and quaint under a real debt by publishing for the first time an English version of the Kabra Nagast ("the Glory of Kings"), the book which contains the story of the royal amour—and much else that is both curious and valuable. It is no ignoble intrigue to which we are called upon to listen. If the Queen of Sheba was induced by a cunning artifice of Solomon's to become his wife, not by marriage, but by the "law of kings," she retains our respect. But the Queen (about whose personal charms the chronicle is sadly reticent) could not long enjoy the felicity of life with her lord. The call of duty made it ineburned upon her to return to her own country before the birth of her child—Solomon's first born, we are assured. Neither, it is expressly stated, did Solomon maintain so enormous aasm as that with which all the chroniclers credit him, simply because of "his passionate love of women." No. he remembered the promises of God to his forefather Abraham, and sought to help fulfill the prophecy that his seed should be as the stars and the sand for multitude. Here, as in other passages, the naivete of the author (or editor) of "The Glory of Kings," his obvious piety—he was a Christian and an upholder of monogamy—disarm criticism and renders void of offense his interpretation of the Scriptures. He exhibits the same ingenuousness as do the medinaeval church chroniclers of Europe The main purpose of the Kebra Nagast is to glorify the kings and people of Ethiopia being Israel's successors in the peculiar favor of Jehovah. This was brought about in a manner which hardly seems honorable, but creates no sense of wrong in the writer. The story is highly characteristic of the theology of the time. The Ethiopians were persuaded that God dwelt in the Ark of the Covenant, here called the "Tabernacle of the Lord," or "Zion." Where the tabernacle was, there was the Lord. What more necessary, then to steal the tabernacle from the temple in Jerusalem and convey, it to Ethiopia? This Menekele accordingly did on taking his leave of Solomon, ill requiring the many favors shown him by his father. And though the theft was soon discovered and Solomon started in pursuit, Menekele could not be overtaken. Naturally, for the Archangel Michael (Michael is today a common name for princes in Abyssinia) led the way for Menekele and his companions, and the journey from Jerusalem to the Nile was accomplished in two days! "Neither man nor beast touched the ground with their feet, but were carried along above the ground with the speed of the bat and the eagle, and even the wagons were borne along without touching the earth." Arrived home, Menekele became King, the Queen, his mother, abdicating in his favor, and he and his people "cast away their idols, abandoned divination, sorcery, magic and omens, repented with tears and adopted the religion of the Hebrew." We are led to infer that, with "Zion" in its midst, Ethiopia flourished, and continued to flourish after the conversion of the people to Christianity Professor Maragollouth has described the Kebra Nagast as an historical romance. It is that and something more, as Sir Wailis Budge demonstrates. If parts of it recall "The Arabian Nights" and other parts monkish chronicles, it undoubtedly enshrines very ancient legends and fragments of history. Menelak is said to have been accompanied on his return to Ethiopia by many Jews, and in Abyssinia the Palashas have been Jews in religion since probably the time of the Babylonian captivity. Some claim them as descendants of Solomon's son. But the curious thing is that Ethiopian traditions of the Hebrew origin of their kings cannot be traced back beyond the early centuries of the Christian era. Josephus has no hint that Solomon accompanied with the Queen of Sheba whom he calls the Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia. The Kebra Nagast, in Sir Wailis Budge's view, in its earliest form probably dates from the sixth century A. D. It was originally written in Coptic, then translated into Arabic, and from Arabic to Gees or Ethiopia. The oldest known manuscript is of the thirteenth or fourteenth century. One copy which belonged to the Emperor Theodore, was brought to England after the fall of Magdala and placed in the British Museum. At the urgent request of King John it was restored to Abyssinia. In its present form Kebra Nagast is doubleless very different from the lost original. It records events from the creation of Adam to the Resurrection. It makes no attempt to show that Sheba and Ethiopia are the same kingdom nor, perhaps, is there need, for the rulers of Sheba or Sheba, in Southern Arabia, in Solomon's time most probably had also possessions on the African side of the Red Sea. Stir Walla Budge in his introduction gives the reader all the information necessary to his enjoyment and understanding of "The Glory of Kings," and has also provided reproductions of pictures of Bible events taken from Ethiopic MSE. in the British Museum. These show all good men either full face or at least with both eyes seen only bad men and devils are depicted by the Abyssinians in profile. JERSEY NEGROES OUT TO ELECT BLACK MAN Assemblyman Too White, So Constituents Object to His Representing Them Discontent over the light complexion of Assemblyman Anderson, the only Negro in the New Jersey Legislature has led to a call for a mass meeting of Negro Republican leaders of Essex county in Newark, Monday afternoon it was learned today. It is declared that certain elements will seek to force the nomination of a candidate of darker hue so that when visitors look from the balcony at the New Jersey legislators assembled they will be able to know that there is a Negro among them Anderson, according to this faction, is so light that he almost always mistaken for a white man by those who see him in the Legislature. Because of this fact they declare their race is often robbed of the recognition that goes with having elected a representative to the Assembly. Hence they have called the mass meeting to agitate for a candidate who will represent them in color as well as sentiment COLORED LABOR FOR AUS- TRALIA The Premier of South Australia, we are told by press dispatches, has decided to leap the great divid. of race, as it has existed in the island, and imported labor. This far off land has been a white man paradise, just the kind of state that the Ku Klux dreams of. It seems that union labor is too strong, and Prime Minister Barwell has devised a scheme to break their grip by bringing in black or yellow labor bound to a three years contract. Thus these black and yellow men are not to be free but slaves. They will work for low wages and for long hours. They will be poorly fed and clothed. Their condition will be similar to our own Southern peons. The Anglo-Saxon world is determined that the colored races shall be the goat. The capitalist is determined to take his toll and get his profits. At the same time organized labor turns its head and refuses to see that its aims are being defeated by a vast army of unorganized, exploited colored labor. In white labor were as zealous in organizing all of the workers as it is in getting high wages for a select group, there would be no indentured workers in Australia, no coolies in France from India-China and no peons in the South to take the places of free men who insist on a decent standard of living — The Pittsburgh American. WEDDING BELLS At Harlem Congregational Church Rev. T. B Glasgow officiating, on Saturday, July 1, Miss Evelyn Ursalie Smith was married to Mr. Joseph Fitzhubert Cox, both of Brittla Gulana, S. A. The bridesmaid was Miss Noatha Gentle Charles, escorted by Prof. H. D. Carter, the well known and popular organist of the National Baptist Church. The best man was Mr. I. Pitt. The bride was given away by Mr. John Gordon Bayna. Miss Hazel was the charming flower girl Mrs. Violet Martindale rendered "O Promise Me"; Mrs. J E. Bush "Thank God, for God" and "Dear Heart." At the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party, after being photographed, was graciously received by Mr. and Mrs. I W Pitt, at whose home the reception was held. Miss Smith is the sister of Hon. Rudolph E. Smith of the U N. I. A. Mr. Cox is a World War Veteran and has done effective work for the Universal Association during his active membership.

NOTICE All presidents of Black Cross Nurses units must forward monthly reports of the office of the Central Committee. The reports shall consist of The number of nurses in their units, the qualifications of the instructors of nurses, the work done by their units to improve the health of their communities e. g. instructing mothers in home hygiene and the care and feeding of infants and children, and the value of prenatal care. Presidents are also responsible to the Central Committee for the annual membership dues of $1 for every member of their unita. By order of the CENTRAL COMMITTER "ME-TOO-BOSS" "DARKY" LEADER MUST GO, SAYS POSTON 4,000 PERSONS WELCOME HON. MARCUS GARVEY support them in their policy, then if you find their policy is contrary to yours, your duty is to clean them out I give you—and not only you of the New York Division, but the entire world organization—the right that is due you and the right which is due to a man and members of any organization. At any time you feel disgusted or dissatisfied with Marcus Garvey your duty is to clean him out. I am ready at any time to be cleaned out; and I want to say this, that so long as my conscience is right and clear and my heart is right and my soul is right, I am going to do the best thing I can, irrespective of what the world says. I am not moved by public opinion, I am moved by rightness and justice. If a man is right and my conscience dictates to me that he is right, and my communion with the spiritual part of my life makes me feel that he is right, nothing will make me change my opinion toward that man or individual that I believe to be right; and if public opinion desires me to take a different attitude from that which is righteous and just, I give not a snap of the finger for public opinion, and if public opinion is based upon righteousness and justice I have a high regard and respect for public opinion. Leadership of U. N. I. A. Cannot Be Survived Therefore you will realize that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be swayed by sentiment not founded upon that which is righteous and that which is just. I want you to realize that we have reached the point where we demand a strong leadership—not a leadership that is going to be here today and there tomorrow, not a leadership that is swayed by every passing wind. First of all, I say, find out that your cause is just and righteous, and stand by it if you have to yield up the last drop of your blood. I am convinced that the program and the policy and the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are just, and only God Almighty will be able to move me from this conviction. So I thank you for the support you have given the organization. As members and friends and supporters during my absence I want to reassure you that the organization is moving throughout the world like a mighty tornado, like a mighty hurricane, like a mighty storm sweeping everything before it. You have absolutely, as I have often said before, no cause for comparison. When you review your work for four and a half years you will find you started from nothing and today you occupy a place among the great governments of the world because you are a provisional government. What more can you desire? What more do you want? But it is hard to satisfy human nature. Humanity is never satisfied. It takes more than Jesus Christ to satisfy humanity because when He came and tried to satisfy humanity, humanity got disgusted with Him and crucified Him. And therefore I have made up my mind to this extent. That there is nothing in the world that Negroes can do that can disappoint me.

REGISTRAR UNIVERSAL NEGRO I ASSOCIATION 54-56 West 135th St.; New New York NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ATION ; New York City, York REGISTRAR UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION 54-56 West 135th St.; New York City, New York ROBERT L. POSTON It appears from newspaper reports that most of the opposition Mr Garvey is receiving in the South and Far West comes from the "me-too-Bombation-on-hand variety of Negro leader. It appears that this antiquated class of leader is stopping at nothing to accomplish his purpose. He is going so far as to have injunctions sworn out to prevent His Excellency from speaking. But led on by an indomitable spirit Marcus Garvey is riding over all opposition and planting the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green in the hearts of the people. But it is sad to contemplate black men trying to prevent other black men from free speech in America! What is this race of ours coming to? When an effort was made by his enemies to keep Marcus Garvey from returning to this country after he had made a trip to the West Indies, Dean William Pickens, that great liberal, said that he was opposed to the step to keep Marcus Garvey out of this country, for if the rights of Marcus Garvey were denied him, then the rights of every Negro in this country would be denied. And he said that he could not understand the mind of the Negro in this country, who is supposed to be fighting for freedom for his people, yet would deny that freedom to one of his own race. It all shows us clearly that the pusyfooting class of leaders must be gotten out of the way before any real progress can be expected in our race. The masses of the Negroes in this country and others are eager to find a way out of the terrible slavery in which we find ourselves today. But it is this boot-licking Negro leader who stands in our wa. Shall we continue to tolerate him? Shall we allow the future of our children to be blotted out simply because we are not men enough to rid ourselves of this pest. The future of this race of ours means too much to us for us to allow a few self-seeking Negroes, who have worked their way into the good graces of the whites who have designs on us, to continue their nefarious course uninterrupted. The people—the common people desirous to know shall know. These so-called leaders, because of superior training, have no right to stand In the beginning God said "Let there be light and there was light. Now, no there are so many of our people sitting and stumbling through darkness the Universal Negro Improvement Association re-echoes the Mass words of old.

LILLIAN WILLIS SPEAKS Mrs. Lillian Willis spoke as follows: May it please Your Excellency the Provisional President of Africa. Right Hon Member of the Executive Council, Officers and Members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Ladies and Gentlemen—it is with feelings of unaffected pleasure that I greet you tonight. It has been a long time since I have had the privilege of addressing the loyal members of Liberty Hall—a long time since I have had the privilege of standing upon this platform in dear old Liberty Hall, the vantage ground of freedom for 400,000,000 Negroes. I am delighted to look into the faces of so many loyal standard bearers of the Red, the Black and the Green, to see the members of the African Legion, the Black Cross Nurses, the Motor Corps and the Juveniles. I have been out in the field endeavoring to spread the gospel of this new freedom which the U N. I. A advocates, and I have had many and varied experiences—experiences that certainly portend good for the future. I find that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the most potent factor in world movements; that its program of unifying the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world—the most colossal task of the ages—is indeed taking as much effect upon people everywhere as nothing has since the days when Christianity came into the world. (Applause.) Everywhere I find men of all races and of all nations are recognizing the Hon. Marcus Garvey as the brightest star in the galaxy of world movements. Through the influence of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the first time in history this race of ours is beginning to feel that, as a race, we will stand alongside with other races. We are becoming ambitious, full of hope, full of courage and inspiration to go forward until Africa is redeemed. They say we have lost money, that we have spent it foolishly, but Negroes forget that so much faith, so much hope, so much manhood, so much courage cannot be measured in dollars and cents, and I say to you that the manhood of the race is willing to follow the U N I A until Africa is redeemed and 400,000,000 Negroes are liberated throughout the world. (Applause.) HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the eastern province of the West Indies, spoke as follows I feel more than proud tonight to look around and see such a large gathering present to welcome back to Liberty Hall the founder of this great and noble movement with which we are identified. I would like to say that this great movement with all the obstacles thrown in the pathway is sweeping on like rapid fire; it matters little what people say, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken such a stronghold on the minds of the Negroes everywhere that, irrespective of counter-propaganda, the movement sweeps on just the same Having just returned from my itinerary through New York State as well as New Jersey, I find that all the divisions are holding well together for the great convention that will take place from August 1 to 81, and though persons have been attempting to interfere with the progress of the movement, still the membership is increasing largely My advice to you is to hold on as you have held in the past. Tonight this seems to be the same old Liberty Hall that knows how to greet and welcome back its President-General, and my hope is that you will continue to keep yourselves in financial standing for the coming convention. You are depending upon us to go out into the field and make good for you, but while we are out laboring energetically amidst peculiar obstacles, we always want to know that Liberty Hall is doing its bit. (Applause). CULTURE CLUBS ENTERTAIN IN HONOR OF PROF. MOENS A most imposing gathering of scientists and artists, representatives of various races, nationalities and creeds crowded the Studio of Mise Ida Vera Simonton, at a reception tendered Prof Herman M. Bernelot Moens, distinguished philosopher and scientist of Holland. The affair was arranged by the Federation of Culture Clubs, as an expression of sympathy and esteem towards the professor, and also to felicitate him upon the publication of his most recent contribution to science and humanity, "Towards Perfect Man." Mr. Albert Sonberg, the president of the federation, and chairman of the eventing, in his introductory remarks, said in part, "that scientists have, from time immemorial, enjoyed privileges at the hands of even tyrannical governments, with certain immunities, and that it remained for the United States, the most liberal country in the world, to upset these precedents and betray these traditions by its discourteous treatment of Prof Moena, a scientist of international repute, who came to this country purely in the interest of research work, and anthropological investigations." He then introduced Major Honore Jaxon, representative of the Indians of North America, at the Race Congress in London a few years ago. Major Jaxon testified to the high character of the guest of honor, docried the injustice which has been meted out to him, and referred to the book as one of great scientific worth. The chairman next introduced Mr Hubert H. Harrison, Negro author and sociologist, who referred to the crime (?)—peculiar in the United States—of "being different" in ideals and opinions. He said "that the characteristic of Prof Moens' is that of being different' and that seems to constitute his offence in the eyes of the powers that be." Dr. Henry P. De Forest, the next speaker, one of the leading physicians of the city, spoke in glowing terms of Prof Moens' previous contributions to Anthropological science, and acclaimed his new book as very valuable to science. Harandranath Maltra, Hindu philosopher, in the picturesque garb of the custom of his nation, spoke of the spiritual elements necessary to the production of the "perfect man" mentioned the necessary discipline spoke appreciatively of Prof. Moens broad spirit. He was followed by Kedar Nath Das Gupta, a native from East India director of the union of East and West, which aims to bring the nations of the East and West together in the bonds of a Universal Brotherhood. He also commented on the significance of the meeting and further said, "only a friend of humanity could have written such a book." This speaker was followed by Mr J A Rogers, author and sociologist, who in his address remarked that "Proof Moena is free from that prejudice which seems to blind the eyes of other scientists of this country at the present time." He agreed with Mr Harri- BISHOP L. E. GUINN E. H. I. C. A. 623 East Sixth Street, Lincolnati, Ohio.

Thomas, who, after felicitating the Cultural Clubs on their splendid achievements, said in part, "I appreciate the title of the book, and the aims of its author. I have known Prof. Moens for a period of years, and approve of his efforts to bring about a better understanding between the race." Monsieur Theo. Stephens, a Haitian was neat introduced. He said that this country too had suffered and, like Prof. Moens, had been unjustly treated. He said he admired Prof. Moens catholic spirit, and wished the book great circulation. Mr John W. Titus, author of "The Face on the Barroom Floor," and Mr Harman L. Schoen addressed the guest of honor in verse, receiving tremendous applause. Miss Ida Vera Simonton, famous African explorer, author and lecturer spoke of her high regards for Professor Moens and his work, which she considered a great contribution to science, musical and vocal numbers of an unusually high quality were beautifully and generously rendered between each speech by Esteel Ehrlich, soprano, Jo seph Kardos, pianist; Beth Tischler violinist, Joseph Diskay, tenor, Ida Nachmanowits, accompanist. Several leading scientists and artists who were unable to be present sent letters of congratulation to Professor Moena. Among these was one from Dr William J Robinson, foremost American sexologist and author of many leading works on medicine. Dr Robinson said: "I regret my inability to be present at the reception tended to Prof Herman M Brenelot Moena. He deserves the gratitude and encouragement of all liberty loving and humanitarian men and women for the fight he has put up against the persecution instituted against him by our ignorant and irresponsible bureaucracy. The manner in which he has been treated is positively shameful, and would be utterly impossible not only in my civilized, but even in any uncivilized, country on the face of the globe. Only perverts and uncultured ignorantuses could see anything obscene in his writings or in his photographs." In the same vein was the letter of Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, director of Voluntary Parenthood League, which follows: "I regret not being able to be present at the reception in honor of Professor onize Your Patronize Your Own Fellow Members of the Negro Race: Why not support your own employment for your Race?

It is of God, and is the spirit of God working through the individual. It works from the unit of the multitude, from the particle to the mass, from the individuality to the community. This is a law of the working of the ever-operating Spirit of God. The terms in which this individual inspiration are described are full of interest. "The Spirit of the Lord" and "him." The divine and human. Yet what is either without the other? The spirit of the Lord requires the "him." God works through human personality, and man is less than nothing without the inspiring spirit of the Lord; but when the two conscience, fuse and interfuse, how great are the result? Such a blending takes place in the case we are contemplating. God descended upon man and man was upifted towards God. The human was shot through with the divine, and the divine found its sphere in the human. The spirit of God equipped Samson, mentally, sharpened his wits, quickened his judicial faculty, made him equal to an office for which he had no preparatory training. Have you ever been moved by the spirit of God? You say, I am not orthodox, I cannot keep ecclesiastical rank, I am peculiar; but the spirit can move your individuality, whatever it be. The question is, have you, as you stand, a separate personality—been inspired of God? You may be inspired and yet never be a preacher, a writer a singer, or an ecclesiastical. Samson was none of these. You may be a patriot or philistrian like Samson was. Or you may be a philanthropist, a business man, a working man—like Beazelel, who was filled with the spirit for workmanship. You may be a wife whose husband praises her, a mother whose children rise up and call her blessed. 1. Inspiration adapts itself to individuality. Dora Greenwell said, "A man serves society best by making the best of himself." We are apt to overlook that fact. Inspired individuality is a great need of this modern age. Is each making the best of himself spiritually? Carlyle in "Sartor Resartus" speaks of the "traction" becoming "not an integer only, but the squaro and cube." God gives his inspiration to each of us. 2. "Samson is an example of incipient inspiration." The word "began" is very significant. There is nothing very wonderful at first, but presently we read of the spirit coming mightily upon him. Beginnings are frequently passing difficult. Tennyson-said, "his trouble had always been how to begin a poem." One of our greatest preachers has told us that how to begin a sermon has always been his difficulty. The beginning is the crux in poetry and in homiletics. It is everything in studies, in business, alwaya, everywhere. This incipient inspiration is full of poetry. Does the name Samson mean solar, then the spirit begins to evoke light and heat. Does it mean "strong," than the spirit begins to develop the energy. Does it mean "awful," then the spirit begins to project an influence of awe from Samson. Has the spirit of the Lord begun to move in you? What development has it made? MAGAZINE PAGE This incipient inspiration should be matured inspiration now. Expect great things of God, and do great things in this life because his knowledge becomes your understanding, and his thoughts your inspiration. 8. "This illustration in the life of Samson proves that inspiration is intermittent." The spirit of the Lord began to move him at times." Samson's inspiration was singularly intermittent. He was moved at times. For periods he was, to use a phrase of Meredith's, "a colossus inactive", then the spirit moved him and he arose, the Hercules of his age. Samson in his intermittency of inspiration is a type of many in these days. True, in a sense, it must necessarily be so, for we could not bear incessant inspiration, if by inspiration is meant great and extraordinary experiences. Such experiences leave their traces in a weakened physical frame. But in another sense there is no need for our inspiration to be intermittent. It has been admirably said that Samson's inspiration is the bubbling of an intermittent spring. But when Christ spoke of the inspiration of Christian believers He used a very different symbol: "He that believeth on me, out of him shall flow rivers of living waters." This spake He of the spirit that they that believe on Him should receive. Beware of being moved by God's spirit at imea. "Live in the spirit." "Walk in his spirit" Be ever "led by the spl it." 4. This ancient case of inspiration represents localized inspiration. Samson's inspiration was begun in his own camp. Among his own people, in familiar scenes, in his native place. Let us lay this suggestion to heart. We considerate a localized inspiration. It should be localized in our own church. But above all, it must be localised in our own neighborhood and our own home. Yes, the spirit must move upon us in our own camp. By sweetness of temper, by purity of life, by self-sacrifice, by all the qualities of Christian character, let it be seen that the spirit moves us. Let each of us look to his own camp. If our camp is a trying sphere, so was the camp of Daniel. It was the most awkwardly situated of all camps of Israel. It was exposed to enemy—the Philistine. It was the smallest. Still the spirit moved upon Samson and he became the savior of a folk. Take courage, friends, and if you are laboring now under adverse circumstances the spirit of God will move, and then you will find yourself. Finding yourself, your exploits will have telling effect on the lives of men.

SURGEON-GENERAL DEPARTMENT BRONCHITIS Definition: An inflammation of the bronchial tubes, characterized by substernal soreness, cough. Mucopurulent expectoration and dry moist rales. Varieties—(1) Acute catarrhal bronchitis. (2) Chronic catarrhal bronchitis. (3) Fibernous bronchitis. Acute, catarrhal bronchitis. Causes: A cold, damp climate; changeable weather; occupations that necessitate confinement or the inhalation of irritating dusts or vapors; the gouty diathesis, and chronic heart disease are general predisposing factors. Exposure to cold and wet, particularly when the body is overheated, or the inhalation of irritating gases or dusts is the usual exciting cause. Acute bronchitis is also an associated condition in certain infectious diseases, especially measles, whooping cough, typhoid fever and influenza. Micro-organisms are without doubt important etiologic factors Pathology: In most cases the trachea and large tubes only are affected. The mucous membrane is red, swollen, infected and more or less covered with tenacious mucopus. Symptoms: The chief features are chilliness; malaise; a sense of soreness and constriction behind the sternum, which is increased by coughing; slight fever with its associated symptoms, and cough, which is at first dry and painful, but later accompanied by free mucopurulent expectoration. This condition may run for a time and the chronic stage develops. (Will continue in our next issue.)

Our Motherland is pleading. Pleading to her sons and daughters. Asking us to heed her grooming For the toll she pays in child-life. Of all the professions open to women motherhood is the most important and the most responsible. No woman would be crazy enough to apply for a position where skill or knowledge of a peculiar kind was necessary knowing she possessed not such skill or knowledge, and yet the majority of women undertake the sacred duty of motherhood without the slightest degree of knowledge as to the care and proper rearing of children. The price of ignorance in this particular is very often suffering, in some cases disfigurement throughout life, disease and death. It is therefore the duty of the Universal African Black Cross to work so as to obtain a more intelligent and better Negro motherhood, and in order to accomplish this it is necessary to instruct every girl, who is naturally a prospective mother, in baby hygiene and care of the sick.

BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN Coming down from Boston on the splendid steamer C. W. Austin of the Eastern Steamship Line on July 4, I had an opportunity of finding out what membership in the Universal Negro Improvement Association means to a traveler who is not ashamed to wear and expose his button. I was sitting in the smoking cabin thinking how I was going to get some sleep, since I had been unable to get a stateroom, when a rather looking and well spoken member of the ship's crew came to where I was sitting and called me by name. I did not know him personally and did not recall ever having met him anywhere. We chatted pleasantly for a few minutes and then he asked me if I had secured a stateroom. I told him I had been unfortunate in not being able to secure one, as all had been sold before I came aboard, and that I had decided to sit up and smooze it out in a chair. "Oh, no," said he. "You don't have to sit up unless you wish. You come with me and I'll introduce you to a man downstairs who will fix you up in good shape, and it won't cost you a penny. Your friend, Deacon Martin, before he left the ship told me to look in for your comfort, and I am carrying out his wishes. We get several dozen copies of The Negro World on this ship every week and we all read Bruce Grit's Column and enjoy it." I thanked him for the compliment and followed him downstairs. Arriving at the place I was to sleep, he introduced me to the attendant and told him to make up a bunk for me, get clean sheets, pillows, etc., and fix me up comfortably. Which he did, and I rolled in at about 11 p. m. and rolled with the boat as it sped through the angry waves to New York city. The gentleman who had shown me this courtesy was Mr. Walter Franka, a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He told me that there were quite a number of our brethren on these boats, and that they always looked out for any Universal Negro Improvement Association member who traveled on this line. am a Mason—a life member of the order—and I am willing to match the Universal Negro improvement Association with this noble fraternity for loyalty and devotion to each other I liked much Mr. Frank's kindly interest in me and was gladder and prouder of my identity with this organization. In the morning when I awoke and had finished my toilet I went to one of the upper decks and sat down in an easy chair to await the approach of daylight. While I sat there musing a gentleman who sat on the opposite side and whom I did not see until he walked over to my side, said "Good morning, and did you reat well?" I greeted him cordially and told him I had rested splendidly. "What would you like to have to drink—are you thirsty?" I hesitated for a second, thinking about the Volestead act. And he asked. "Would you like a bottle of milk?" Then the vision I had passed away and I replied. "Yes, thank you, it will be very refreshing, am sure." He went off and was back in a few minutes with a bottle of milk. He wanted to know if I wished it hot or cold. I said hot and he again went off, heated the milk and came back with it in a large glass. It was fine rich milk and about half cream, and I enjoyed it. When he came back for the glass I asked him what his charge was and proffered him a quarter. It really hurt his feelings and I felt somewhat abashed when he said. "This costs you (with emphasis on the you) nothing." He was another Universal Negro Improvement Association man. And I said to myself, as he was returning to his chair, "Any organization whose members can perform such acts of kindness and courtesy to members who are strangers to them is doomed to a long life of usefulness and service." This good Samaritan told me his name was Innis. I thanked him heartily for his friendly offices and I thanked the good God for putting it into the heart of Marcus Garvey to awaken the racial consciousness of the Negro and for showing him how to get together in the bonds of friendship and brotherhood. These to me were beautiful examples of the true spirit and aim and purpose of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. My friend, Minor F. Hamlin, Esq. of Cambridge, Mass., whom I have known for more than forty years and who is a Christian gentleman and is honored and respected by people of both races in Cambridge, showed me many courtesies during my brief stay in that city, which I will always remember with feelings of grateful emotion. Hamlin and I were boys together in the city of Washington, D. C., in the good days, and used almost to shout our heads off for the G. O. P., because the old-time leaders in those days, like Blaine, Conkling, Allison, W. E. and Zachariah Chandler, O. P. Morton, Fessenden, Carpenter, Sumner, etc., were as different in their attitude toward the Negro, from the type of statesmen now domiciled under the big You look and feel a kindred times better now; no more Rosanne, Kingwright, Burberry's Nah! All the Fingers, "Hump," Blackhawk's great! No more Failing Math All the Dumbbell and Better Goal! Don't delay! Why suffer any longer when this quick-break remedy is best to run my mail? Send your order in new! Simply dome on Capitol Hill, as a horse chestnut is from a mustard seed. Those men were real statesmen—fearless, outspoken, courageous. With such a group as those in the present Senate, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill would long ago have been whipped into shape and passed into law. There is a difference between political giants and political pigmies. Statesmanship in the National Congress of recent years is now merely a name. It has been superseded by opportunism. There is not a single group of white men in either branch of the present Congress, nor in its predecessor, with the moral courage of the men of forty years ago who championed the cause of the Negro because it was just, and because they had a decent sense of honor. Mr. Hamlin is a candidate for the Legislature from the Second Middle-sex district, Cambridge. For twenty years he has been a member of the Republican City Committee and a delegate to almost every Republican convention held since his connection with the party in Massachusetts. He was born in "ole Virginity" of good stock and is a graduate of the University of Adversity. He is a regulation Baptist, a clean-hearted, clean-minded, clear-headed man. He counts his friends by the thousand among men and women of both races and both parties in Cambridge and Boston. He is not a grafter nor a "holiday friend"—just Minor Franklin Hamlin, Christian gentleman without frills, who would walk a mile to help any man or woman who is in trouble or to show them courtesies. He will have no opposition. I have been told, for the office he seeks for he is well and favorably known to every leading man in politics in both parties in his home county, and is regarded with favor and confidence by all Minor F Hamlin is an exceptionally fine character, and he has won his way to the front by honest dealing and conscientious application of those principles of living which in the long run always bear good fruit because they are founded in honor, righteousness and truth. My friend George P Fisher Esq. of Cos Cob, Conn., the greatest "known in the hull State of Connecticut," has sent me the following poems, which I am taking the liberty to reproduce in this column, because they deserve a wider reading than they will get in my scrapbook. I think they are very pretty, and I know they are good poetry. Mr Fisher is an old hand at poetry making, and he has written many hundreds of popular sentimental songs in the last fifty years which have been sung on and off the stage by thousands. There is in these two orffers a compelling pathos which cannot fail to appeal to the serious side of those who may read them. YOUTH TO OLD AGE Come sit with me and listen to my song. I have so many graves to strew with flowers; I have so many tears to shed each day; I can not waste in jo the fleeting hours: I must be hast'ning on my lonesome way. I can not turn aside, nor pause for mirth. Time fails me quite to finish all my task: I leave to you the pleasures of this earth. A flower to deck my grave is all I ask. —GEORGE P FISHER. I had the very great pleasure of meeting, while in Boston, the R. W. Grand Secretary, of the famous Prince Hall Grand Lodge, in his office in Masonic Hall, 1085 Tremont Street, Ernest D. Cooke, Esq, whom I found to be a most agreeable and sociable gentleman. He showed me the ashes from the mortgage on their beautiful building, which was burned sometime ago and wanted to show me through the building, but my game legs were not equal to the task of climbing and I had to renge with apologies. The Boston Masons have one of the most beautiful and substantial homes to be found anywhere in the country, and the most interesting thing about it is that they don't owe a dollar on the property.

We spent almost an hour in the Marshall home with the head of the house and his charming family and then we gathered him up and put him in our car, for a sight seeing drive in and around Newtonville and its environs. Mr Marshall and his family are the only people of color in Newtonville and he is rated as one of its most progressive and prominent and useful citizens. He is a high Mason and a first class caterer I think Lloyd Marshall is the handsomest colored man I have ever seen. He is dignity personified and bears himself with the grace and poise of a prince of the blood royal. My friend Minor F Hamlin, Esq. and Representative Kidder, of the Massachusetts general court, arranged a meeting for me with Governor Cox at the famous Boston State House, which I had not visited since 1882 when my old friend Lewis Hayden was a moving spirit in Boston politics and hall fellow well met with the men of prominence of that day. Minon Hamlin is a worthy successor of Lewis Hayden, and his political power and influence is quite as pervasive as was that of dear old Lewis Hayden Among our delegation to call on the Governor were Doctors Benjamin E. Robinson and C W Harrison, two young and particularly good looking physicians who are practicing in the capital of the State of Mind. We were duly presented to his excellency by his secretary, and were received most cordially. The governor is a typical New Englander with a florid complexion—good natured and jolly and fond of a joke He and Deacon Hamlin exchanged a few pleasantries, and he charged the Deacon to take good care of me, and to show me all the beauty spots in and around Boston. Then we shook hands again and expressed our mutual pleasure at meeting each other One of the interesting men I met in Cambridge was the Rev. Thomas F. Bentbury, minister of the colored work of the church of All Nations, who told me a great deal about the good work which is being done by this organization in the reclamation of "down and outers." It is practically a man factory and makes over men who have lost out, giving them a chance to prove their work, by practical methods. Providing them with work they can best do, and encouraging them to look up and not down. I am hoping that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will organize a similar work among our men. There are hundreds of them who have good trades, but no opportunity to work at them. Those could be classified—masseed as they were into a battery and be made to do as good and profitable work as the men of the church of All Nations are doing in Boston. I will reserve for the next issue the remainder of my notes on my visit to Boston PART V The Odious Comparison Now that's wher' you've let out a hull mouthful, Phillip. This here black boy Jefferson hez put it all over the white boys of this town an' this desistrict, an' the comparison 'tween him an' them as was 'sociated with him in ```markdown ``` skule is allus goin to be on-pleasant, specially to our white families that believe in the *pearliority uv th* Caucasian over the black race. This here Jefferson boy he has showed us whites that there’s sutting’ wrong with the idea. Phil, by Heck! I can’t unnerstan’ how it has happened. “Oh it a plain erufn to me,” answered Phil Ardales, grouchly. The black boy never had a fair chance till he came up North. An’ when he seen what he could do, with a reel chance and with his ambition, why he jest want ahead and done it. Thet’s all! We coddles, a peta, an humours our boys an gals too much, anyhow, an’ they somehow or other gits the notion in they hade that because we is the dominant race in this kentry we don’ hev to hev any branes to make the machinery go. I’ll be gol dern, of I had my way ‘bout this here skule blisness, George, I’d make the teachers and ‘fessers commence on the head pieces of their students first instead ur developin’ their legs an’ arms in these here athletic games. I’d see to it that evy dog-guns one uv ‘em had somethin’ in his skul on ‘omencement day exceptin’ sawdust an’ that he could spake baker with his eyes closed. As it is, the skules an colleges are now turning out a lot of dudes and flappers who seem to think the kentry’s going to be saved with bobbed hair, golf clubs, an’ baseball bats and hoss and boat racin’. The branes uv a good many of them is mostly in they legs and arms. Edison set ‘em wild with his questionnaire some months ago. He found that our average college student couldn’t spell and didn’t know beans from corn-starch. When it come down to evay day practical 'nolie, Georgia, we air going to seed so dern fast that I'm afeared the 'Marten nation air a going to bust itself wide open one uv these days an expose to the hull world that we are a nation of bluffers and what gamblers call 'four-fushers.' We got too much power, which we wn't a usin' proper, an' too much uv a desire to seem to be what we ain't. This generation is weaker than that of our daddies. Of course they didn't have so much buk learnin', but they had manhood, character, personal courage, common-sense an' the spirit of righteousness, and God blessed and prospered them. I ain't never seen a more jos comparison than this here triumph in scholarship of a Negro over the proud and haughty flaxen-hairless and blue-eyed Saxons as we calls ours. I'm ashamed, George, that there is one clear trickle of my blood in the veins of that ar boy o mine. The comparison between him an' the black boy Jefferson is too jos even to think about. And now let me tell you suthin George, of these blacks get a half chance they will walk away with not only in the schools and college but in whatever other vocations or callings that we whites engage in with them as rivals or competitors. I do not wonder that Harvard is laying plans to eliminate Negroes from its student body, as well as Jaws. These people are studious, an' when they get 'nolge of the right sort, George they air goin' to wield a power in this knotry that nothing can resist. With all their present handicaps they somehow or other make our white boys look cheap whenever that's a contest for pints. I'm game, George; I got to give it to the black boy Jefferson and admit that he is a better scholar than my boy who has had a thousand years of opportunity. The comparison is very plus, but facts is facts. HON. MARCUS GARVEY TELLS OF INTERVIEW WITH KU KLUX LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, July 9, 1922.—Unusual interest was centered in tonight's meeting, it having been previously announced that the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, would speak about his interview with the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the city of Atlanta, Ga. A record-breaking crowd was therefore in attendance, and the white press, which has displayed much ouncen about the affair, sent its reprentatives to get first hand news of the much discussed interview between these two national figures in American life. Mr Garvey, without any preliminaries, plunges, directly into his subject and for three-quarters of an hour told of the interview—the motives that inspired it, his impressions of the interview, the attitude of the Ku Klux Klan towards the Negro, what the Klan stands for, and the influence it wields on the country at large. He spoke with a clarity of expression which could leave no doubt that his genius had enabled him to get at the bottom of the whole matter and discover the real truth of this secret organization which puzzled the country. In this Mr Garvey has displayed an undraunted courage which is characteristic of a real leader and done what the self-appointed, weak-kneed, spineless leaders of the race have never had the pluck to attempt, namely, to get at the root of an organization which is outwardly hostile to the Negro, and understand it so that proper measures may be made to combat it. Mr. Garvey made some startling disclosures which sent shock after shock through the audience. Consternation was stamped upon the face of everyone when he declared most emphatically that "the Ku Klux Klan is really the invisible government of the United States of America." "There are more people," he said. "Identified with the Ku Klux Klan than you think; there are more people in sympathy with the activities of the Ku Klux Klan than you think, and there is more sympathy in this country for the Ku Klux Klan than the ordinary illiterate 'Negro newspaperman thinks and sees on the surface.' This was substantiated by the fact that since the recent exposures made by white newspapers in different parts of the country the Klan, according to figures given him by the acting Imperial Wizard (Edward Young Clarke) had increased by a large percentage and had taken a firm grip in the North and West, where hitherto its activities were unknown. He, however, made the bland statement that the Klan is not organized for the absolute purposs or for the purpose of interfering with Negroes or for the purpose of suppressing Negroes, but is organised for the purpose of protecting the interests of the white race in America. Mr Garvey gave as his impression of the Ku Klux Klan that it is a mighty white organization in America, organised for the purpose of upholding white supremacy in this country—organized for the purpose of making America a white man's country, and that the Klan represents the spirit, the feeling, the attitude of every white man in the United States of America. That being so, the Negro's attitude toward such an organization should not be to stand off, not knowing its program and saying and writing all kinds of things against it, with the intention of aggravating its attitude toward the race, but the duty of the leadership of the Negro race, finding itself in such an unenvilable position, is to study the thing and get as much information as possible about the thing in their own interest After making a logical and searching analysis of the underlying causes of the Ku Klux Klan, which hinged entirely upon white supremacy, Mr. Garvey said the best thing that could be done is to get down to a sober understanding of the Klan and try to the best of our ability to solve the question that concerns us. and the Universal Negro Improvement Association says the only way the problem can be solved is for the Negro to create a government of his own strong enough on the continent of Africa that can compel the respect of any people in any part of the world. Whilst the Ku Klux Klan, Mr. Garvey declares, desires to make America absolutely a white man's country, the Universal Negro Improvement Association wants to make Africa absolutely a black man's country. The speech throughout was a masterpiece of eloquence, and was delivered with all the fervor of a leader whose entire life is wrapped up in the cause which he is exposing. The other speakers were Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies, and Lady Henipta Vinton Davis, international organizer, who has just returned from the States of the Middle West. She has brought back encouraging news from that part of the country and says that the membership there will be strongly represented at the coming convention. Among others who sat on the platform were: Hon. J. D. Gibson, Surgeon General; Hon. R. L. Poston, Second Assistant Secretary General; Hon. Sydney De Bourg, leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, and Hon. G. E. Carter, special assistant to the President General. Following are the speeches: HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: In keeping with my duties as leader of a large movement, as one of the advocates of Negro rights and Negro liberty, as an officer of the largest Negro organization in the world, I became interested in the activities of an organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, not because I wanted to be a member of the Klan, but because I wanted to know the truth about the Klan's attitude toward the race I represent. Conference with Head of Ku Klux Klan For that reason a conference was arranged between the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and my self, which took place in Atlanta, Ga., on the 5th of June. The interview or the report of the conference is to be published in The Negro World, the official organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and I believe it will also be published in the Searchlight, the official organ of the Ku Klux Klan. Unfortunately, because of the pressure of business, I have been unable to read the interview as held to send a copy back to the Imperial Wizard for his correction as well as for my own, in that it was arranged that the interview would be handed to each party concerned for his approval or correction before it was made public. Up to now the corrections have not been made, and I am to speak tonight not so much from the reported matter of the interview as from my impression of the Ku Klux Klan as gained through contact with the leaders of the Klan. You will understand what it means when two parties enter into an agreement that no public announcements should be made of certain things until the two parties had the opportunity of looking over the copies copened referring to the matter or the thing, and that has not been done yet, but since my return to New York I discovered that a large number of the colored people here are very curious as to the nature or visit and what happened, and since I returned to New York I have received copies of Negro newspapers that have published me as joining hands with the Ku Klux Klan I know and you know the attitude of the Negro press in America—a senseless, ignorant attitude—an attitude that does not tend to help educationally in the development of this race of ours in America, especially to a young, growing race as ours. His impressions of the Ku Klux Klan From my impressions, from my observations, from my understanding, the Ku Klux Klan is a mighty white organization in the United States of America, organized for the purpose of upholding white supremacy in this country; organized for the purpose of making America a white man's country pure and simple. The organization has absolutely no apology to make as far as its program is concerned—a program of making America a white man's country. In America we have twelve or fifteen million in a population of 105,000,000 people. The Ku Klux Klan to a large extent represents every white man in the United States of America. I want you to realize that. The Ku Klux Klan represents the spirit, the feeling, the attitude of every white man in the United States of America. Now what should be the Negro's attitude toward such an organization? Negro's Attitude Toward the K. K. K. The Negro's attitude toward such an organization should not be to stand off, not knowing its program not understanding it and saying and writing all kinds of things against it with the intention of aggravating its program and its attitude toward the race, but the duty of the leadership of the Negro race, finding itself in such an unenviable position, is to study the thing, to understand the thing and to get as much information as possible about the thing in your own interests. Aggravating the Ku Klux Klan or aggravating any organization in the world organised for the specific purpose of white supremacy is not going to help the race in America, placed at a disadvantage as it is. There is much more beneath the surface of the Ku Klux Klan than you can see on the surface. Some of us Negro leaders and some of us Negro newspaper get crazy because the New York World and New York America about two months ago tried to expose the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Now let me tell you that the World nor the American has absolutely no intention to put down the Ku Klux Klan to please Negroes. The World and the American exposed the activities of the Ku Klux Klan for their own set reason, for their own set purpose, without having in mind the good that would accrue to Negroes by the putting down of the Ku Klux Klan; and let me tell you this: that it was not so much the real intention of their expose to put down the Ku Klux Klan. Negro editors and Negro leaders got wild and started to lambaste the Ku Klux Klan, and write all kinds of things against them. Let me tell you this: that the Ku Klux Klan is really the invisible government of the United States of America, and that there are more people identified with the Klan than you think; that there are more A THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 15. 1922 MONSTER CROWD TURNS OUT TO HEAR PRESIDENT-GENERAL—THE WHITE PRESS SENDS REPRESENTATIVES TO GET FIRST HAND INFORMATION — STARTLING DISCLOSURES MADE Ku Klux Klan Is Really the Invisible Government of U. S. A.—So Declares Mr. Garvey With Great Emphasis—More People in Sympathy With It Than Is Known KLAN IS NOT ORGANIZED FOR ABSOLUTE PURPOSE OF INTERFERING WITH THE NEGROES BUT TO ADVOCATE AND PROTECT WHITE SUPREMACY—AS THE KU KLUX KLAN IS WORKING FOR WHITE SUPREMACY, THE U. N. I. A. IS WORKING FOR BLACK SUPREMACY. Africa Shall Be Made Black Man's Country as America Is White Man's Country—Problem Can Be Solved by Negro Creating a Government of His Own in Africa people in sympathy with the activities of the Ku Klux Klan than you think, and that there is more sympathy in this country for the Ku Klux Klan than the ordinary filtrate Negro newspaperman thinks and sees on the surface. As proof that the Ku Klux Klan is a worthy organization in the opinion of the white leaders of this country, the expose of the New York World led to what? Led to an investigation of the activities of the Klan by the Congress of the United States, and what has happened up to now? The Ku Klux Klan is still at large, the Ku Klux Klan has grown twice as strong since the expose as before. The expose of the Ku Klux Klan was solely a skillful method of advertising the activities of the Klan at very little cost to the klan. After the activities of the Ku Klux Klan were exposed, California was besieged with the Ku Klux Klan and New York itself became a stronghold of the Klan, and if I am to take the words of the acting Imperial Wizard, the Ku Klux Klan is stronger in the Northern States than it is in the Southern States of the United States of America. The Correct Attitude of the Negro Now what are you going to do about it? Stand off and refuse to investigate and refuse to understand the attitude of the Klan toward you and in that way expect to solve the problem? Our belief is that the leadership of a large group of people must be intelligent enough to be on guard in protecting the interests or the rights of the people. Because of that intention, because of that feeling, because of that attitude, I interviewed the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan to find out the Klan's attitude toward the race. You may believe it or not—I made several statements to him, in which he said this: That the Klan is not organized for the absolute purpose of interfering with Negroes—for the purpose of suppressing Negroes, but the Klan, is organized for the purpose of protecting the interests of the white race in America. Now anything that does not spell: the interests of the white race in America does not come within the scope of the Ku Klux Klan. Purely a Relational Organization I found out, therefore, that the Ku Klux Klan was purely a racial organisation standing up in the interests of white folks exclusive of the interests of others. You cannot blame any group of men, whether they are Chinese, Japanese, Anglo-Saxons or Frenchmen, for standing up for their interests or for organizing in their interest. I am not apologising for the Klan or endevouring to excuse the existence of the Klan, but I want a proper understanding about the Ku Klux Klan so that there can be no friction between the Negroes in America and the Ku Klux Klan, because it is not going to help. The Invisible Government of America The Ku Klux Klan is not an ordinary social club organised around the corner. The Ku Klux Klan is the invisible government of the United States of America. The Ku Klux Klan expresses to a great extent the feeling of every real white American. The attitude of the Ku Klux Klan is that America shall be a white man's country at all hazards, at all costs. The attitude of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is in a way similar to the Ku Klux Klan. Whilst the Ku Klux Klan desires to make America absolutely a white man's country, the Universal Negro Improvement Association wants to make Africa absolutely a black man's coun- is a scientific vegetable compound to hair root and Aino Oil, together with several other positive herbs, therefore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow in most obstinate cases.

Boulevard try. (Great appliance.) Whether you wish it or not, that is not the point, because your wish does not amount to anything. The wish of fifteen million Negroes in America does not amount to anything when $5,000,000 other folks wish the thing that you want. That is the disadvantage. We wish liberty; we wish to be good American citizens; we want to be President of the United States; we wish to be Congressmen; we wish to be Senators; we wish to be governors of States; we wish to be mayor of cities; we wish to be police commissioners. It is a wish, all right, but the other fellow wishes the same thing. Now, is he going to allow you to have your wish? That is the attitude. The white people of this country are not going to allow Negroes—ambitious and educated Negroes—to have their wish, and the wish of the educated, ambitious Negro of America is that the Negro has as much right to be President of the United States as President Harding has. The ambition and wish of the Negro in America today is that the Negro has as much right to be a member of the Cabinet as any white man. Now that is your wish. Will the other fellow accede to your wish? K. K. K. Interpreta Spirit of White Man The Ku Klux Klan interprets the spirit of every white man in this country and says "you shall not pass." What are you going to do? You have the wish, but the odds are against you. Negro Press and Leaders Working on Surface Some of us Negro leaders, some of us newspapermen before we get down to a serious study of the question and adopt the best possible means of solving the problem we are working on the surface. My suit is mine, but if a bully comes along and tears it off me it is mine but it it his now. All of us know that America is as much the Negro's as the white man's, but the white man says, "I am going to make this a white man's country." The only thing for you to do is to get hold of him, beat him and take it away. But can you do that? You cannot do that. Therefore the best thing you can do is to get down to a sober understanding of the Klan and try to the best of your ability to solve the question that concerns you. And the Universal Negro Improvement Association says the only way the problem can be solved is for the Negro to create a government of his own strong enough on the continent of Africa that can compel the respect of all men in all parts of the world. We are not going to have any fight as an organization with the Ku Klux Klan because it is not going to help. The Ku Klux Klan, as I said a while ago, is the invisible government of the United States of America. What do I mean by that! The Klan represents the spiritual feeling and even the physical attitude of every white man in this country. There are hundreds of other organizations that feel as the Ku Klux Klan feels. There are millions of individuals in America who feel as the Ku Klux Klan feels, but those individuals, those organizations are not honest enough to make the confession that the Ku Klux Klan makes. I prefer and I have a higher regard for the man who intends to take my life who will warn me and say, "Garvey, I am going to take your life." so as to give me time to prepare my soul for my God, rather than the man who will pretend to be my friend, and as I turn my back he users me into eternity without even giving me a chance to say my Lord's Prayer. The Ku Klux Klan comes out openly and says this: Negroes, we are going to make this country a white man's country; so long as there is a white man in America a Negro shall not be President of the United States; so long as there is a white man in America a Negro shall never be a member of the cabinet; so long as there is a white man in America a Negro shall never again be a Congressman or Senator; so long as there is a white man in America a Negro shall never again be a Governor or a Lieutenant-Governor of a State. Now the man that says that gives you enough information about yourself and about him as to enable you to make some plans to help yourself one way or the other; but the other fellow who comes and says nothing to you, but, on the other hand, fatters you and says, "I am your friend and have the same feeling or attitude toward you as the other fellow who told you"—which is the better friend, the one who tells you or the one who keeps the information from you but means the same thing? I asked the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, whether he was interpreting the spirit of just a few people who make up his organization or not, and he said "no; we are interpreting the spirit of every true white American; but we are honest enough to say certain things that others do not care to say." Now in a nutshell you have the situation. What is the use of staying outside not understanding the attitude and lambasting those people who are in power. Sentiment cannot put down the Ku Klux Klan; newspaper writings cannot put down the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan is expressing the feeling of over 95,000,000 people. No law can put down the prejudice of a race. You may legislate between now and eternity. If I hate you, no law in the world can make Reduced Fares for Delegates and Members Attending the Third Annual Negro Convention To the Presidents of the Eastern and Central Divisions The Trunk Line Association, which controls the lines of the eastern territory, and the Central Passenger Association, which controls the central territory, have consented to grant to our delegates coming to the convention, through their routes, exequation fares, at the rate of fare and a half for round trip, at the minimum of $1.00 for the round trips providing the delegate or member can produce an identification certificate from the Association. The Trunk Line Territory is as Follows: New York State (east of and including Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Suspension Bridge, and Salamanca), New Jersey, Pennsylvania (east of and including Erie, Oil City and Pittsburgh), Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia (east of and including Wheeling, Parkersburg, Kenova, Orange and Norfolk). Tickets will be sold from the above mentioned territories from July 28th to August 3d, and persons desiring to attend the convention must leave for their destination on or between those dates. Delegates must arrange to return so as to reach their original starting point, over the same route, not later than midnight of September 6th, otherwise they will have to pay full fare on their return trip. One identification certificate will suffice for each member, including dependent members of his or her family. The Central Passenger Association authorizes the same fare and one-half the round trip on Identification Certificate with the same conditions mentioned above. The Central Passenger Association controls the line in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. A portion of Louisville and Nashville Railroad. However, to avoid mistakes, delegates or members are advised to require at their local ticket office if this reduced fare applies to the route they intend to take. Delegates can also immediately by Special Delivery Letter or Telegram the number of Identification Certificates you require for delegates and members of your Division.

Represents Sentiment of White People The Ku Klux Klan is therefore expressing the feeling and the sentiment of a large number of people in this country towards us as a race—the attitude of refusing to allow the Negro to enjoy political, economic and social equality. The Ku Klux Klan made me to understand that their attitude is based on the assumption that this country was discovered by white men; this country was first popped and colonised by white men; that this country's existence was brought about by white men fighting, suffering and dying to create a government of their LUX KLAN own and because of the suffring of white men in the past to bequeath to their children of today a country of their own, the children of today are not disposed to give up their rights racially to any other race whether it be Negro, Japanese or any other race on the face of the globe. Now what are you going to do? This is their attitude. Our lambasting them and publishing all kinds of things without studying them will not help the situation. A lot of Negro leaders are to be found up North who write a lot of stuff, but have not the nerve to go South to give expression to the same sentiments. (Aplause.) The largest number of Negroes in the United States of America live below the Mason and Dixon line where the Eu Klux Klan (Continued on page 15) THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS URGES WOMEN TO ATTEND THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION URGES WOMEN TO ATTEND THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Women Capable of Leadership Are Needed in the Race, Writes Mrs. William A. Corbin, of California By MRS. WILLIAM A. CORBIN LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 1.—"No race rises higher than its woman." How often have we heard that quotation coming from the lips of many speakers of different creeds and colors. In these days of unceasing intrigue on behalf of white nations of the world, the diplomats of these nations have not failed to utilise the womanhood of said nations when necessity demanded it. The white woman has taken her position in the interest of her race. HANNA WRITES ON NEGRO DEATH RATE Aasks U. N. I. A. to Organize Medical Men By DR. WALTER B. MANNA PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 6, 1922 — In this materialistic age, when the The Negro is coming into his own. His racial pride and national respect must be developed. That duty no one can deny is upon the shoulders of the black woman. To think, to plan and to materialise these plans in the upbuilding of the future black nation are the essential qualities which she must bring to this third International Convention of Negroes. Will she meet the requirements? Will she hold forth a standard of intellect, intelligence and refinement which these psychological moments demand? The Negro woman can no longer remain uninterested in the welfare of her race. She can no longer assume an attitude of carelessness in regard to this naval aspect. The eternal law demands that she play her part in this drama of nation building, and she cannot leave the stage until the final curtain of success has been rung. Therefore, the call resounds throughout the Negro world. Attention, women, the hour has come. How will you face the situation? Women capable of leadership are needed. Women with the finer powers of concentration are necessary. If the great dream is to become a reality, then women must encourage and inspire the manhood of the race to nobler and greater things in this founding of a nation. Longfellow has left upon the quivering heart of the world these lines: "See unto the how the good is. Though each leads him, yet she follows, "Tithen each without the bither." It causes us to realize that to be duty to lead and to follow and to bend if necessary, yet obey. Man may be capable of thinking and expressing his thoughts. His brain may be fertile with ideas and ideas that are to be the cornerstones in this new foundation of Negro achievement and national attainment, yet woman can shape those stones and assist in the moulding and the laying of this foundation by the master workmen. To give birth to this new spirit in the black man, to nourish it carefully and to instill into this infant nation a love for the Red, Black and Green, a martial reverence for the Ethiopian anthem, and that he may be taught to utter with a hope profound a faith unchanging, a love unsullied: One God, One Aim, One Destiny JUVENILES PLAY BIG PART IN MORON, CUBA, DIVISION B. V. B. C. RUSSELL The Moron Division is trying its best to keep in line with the other divisions of the U. N. L. A., in spite of all the difficulties that confront the members, financially and otherwise. I sincerely trust that the support given by friends and well wishers in the past and at present may continue in the future. There is a spring which is a live support to the division of which some of our people do not realise, and that is the moral support given by the children from time to time with their little functions. Not only do these functions give moral support, but financial support also. If our people will learn to know the value of children in the associations they will sooner or later find themselves in clear waters. Some of our people sometimes think wisely, but do not put their wise thoughts into wise circulation, but into an unwise one, which proves regrettable not only to themselves but to others who are equally concerned. But nevertheless some day such falls will find their mistakes when that bad gas is expelled from them through the instrumentality of the U. N. L. A. YOUNGSTOWN DIVISION HOLDS MASS MEETING YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio—Youngstown Division held a mass meeting last Sunday at the Boother T. Washington settlement. The meeting was interesting and inspiring, especially after the visit of His Excellency Marous Carvey and Hen. Fred Tooth, Mr. Bernhardt, who had just returned from the Cleveland Division full of enthusiasm and determination, drew a reference to the Cleveland Division, making an appeal to the members of the Youngstown Division to work harder, so that our greater objective will be achieved. M. Gillen, Executive Secretary, spoke on the grounds that is being conducted in Youngstown to undermine the extension of the U. M. K. A. Mr. Clinton said. With the introduction is being conducted in Youngstown, all of the clergy are encouraged to join in the discussion, change, strive for success, bring, improve, make of IMPRESSIONS OF BANES DIVISION IMPRESSIONS OF BANES DIVISION Aksa U. N. I. A. to Organize Medical Men By DR. WALTER B. HANNA PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 5, 1922 In this materialistic age, when the black man is applying his energies as never before in winning his economic and industrial independence, largely through the medium of the U N I A, never was there greater necessity for conservation of his health. At no other period of the Negro's struggle for existence, for enjoyment of the fruits of civilization through his own efforts, was there greater need for building a health reserve among the individuals of the race than now The Negro will thrive, will be most successful in this new physical struggle of the fit to survive by acquiring the habit of health thrift—in other words, by amassing a health reserve so great, so vigorous, that in the future he will be even better able to resist the diseases which prey on him as a race. This is the age of preventive medicine and the practical application of sanitary science, and Rosenau holds the most important place in modern medicine as father of the science of public health. Moreover, the old adage, "An ounce of prevention to a pound of cure never meant so much to the health of a race as does its application to the physical efficiency of the Negro of today. Present day health statistics show that the Negro death rate is high. How- By R. A. BENNETT President of Cayo Mambi Division As president of the Cayo Mambi U N. L. A. and A. C. L. I was delegated together with Mr W G. Nelson, its treasurer, to lodge a large sum of money in a bank at antilla. Arriving at Antilla on the 8th inst., spending two days in carrying out my mission as well as having a little sight-seeing, I left for Banes on the morning of the 10th, at 745 a. m., and reached my destination at 430 p. m., and while my pulsating engine was discharging its human freight I met a compatriot who immediately took me to the Banes Liberty Hall, where I saw Miss M. Kelso, the executive secretary. She was hard at work, welcomed me in the name of the division, and left to inform her other officers and members of my visit. And so it quickly went from tip to tip that the pioneer of the Garvey movement, ex-president of the Havana U. N I A. and present president of the Cayo Mambi branch, was in town. The next day was Sunday. I was taken to the homes of prominent residents of the vicinity, who were members of our great fraternity. In the afternoon, at 4 o'clock, I went to the Baptist Church, where I listened to an interesting sermon by the Rev H Thompson, a Negro preacher of whom we are proud. Apart from his enunciation and logical grandeur his spiritual unfolding was superb. His thoughts circled around the story of the prodigal son, in the 15th chapter of Luke's gospel. He pointed out the true character of the son who remained at home. This was misconstrued from time to time. The speaker admitted he was good and obedient, but failed in that he did not appreciate the return of his brother that he should have received so grand a reception from his father—even a robe upon him, the fatted calf killed, a ring upon his finger and shoes upon his feet. "What man of good character," said the preacher, "would covet the reception of a brother who was stranded in a foreign land?" Among the forceful things, he said that mankind had so much changed that one was calling himself rich, another poor; this was black and the other white. But he knew that God breathed in man the breath of life, and put him the divine afatus, and he is man in spite of what he may say of himself I left inspired and wended my way to Liberty Hall to attend. the divine service at 8 o'clock. As I approached the door my attention was arrested by a notice which ran thus: "Special mass meeting tonight in honor of the president of the Cayo Mambi U. N. L. A. Officers are requested to wear their regalias and Black Cross nurses their uniforms; also the African Legion and Boy Scouts." I entered the hall and met a glad surprise when I saw the artistic decorations. A large audience was listening with rapt attention to the chapel. He was spectacular in his robe of black and loose bands hung over his shoulders with the colors red, black and green. Unity was his topi, and his well-rounded discourse reached the hearts of all. The service ended, I was asked by the chapelts to take part in the presentation prior to the mass meeting. The chapelts led off with an open back to his hands; the Black Cross nurses immediately followed; officers came in. I came in and the three of members and well-wishers followed in our trail. We entered the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1922 ever, while the mortality is still high. it is encouraging to note the improvement in the death rate of the last year 1921, over that of previous years. Following the report of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of over 1 600 000 colored policyholders in the industrial department over widely scattered areas of the country the mortality in 1911 was 17.5 per 1,000, while in 1921 it had declined to 13.3 per 1,000, a drop of 25 per cent. In other words, there would have been 7 000 more deaths had the 1911 rate prevailed that year (1921). Further analysis of the report shows improvement in death rates from diseases in which mortality has been higher in former years, namely tuberculosis, pneumonia, heart disease, Brights disease, malaria, typhoid and pellagra. This decline is not localized nor confined to any one area, but includes all areas. Thus fifty-six scattered areas in 1916 show a death rate from the above named diseases of 175 per 1000 while the record of 1921 shows only fifteen areas in which the rate was as high as 175. This decrease is due to public health movements among Negroes themselves, says the report. The high death rate which still prevails, however is due to deficiency in health provisions. These facts show that it can readily be improved by intensification of services specially applicable to Negroes. Much is promised by Negro insurance companies themselves and welfare services. However, the public service that can be rendered through the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the greatest asset the race has in ameliorating conditions affecting the health of masses of Negroes, thereby bringing about a rapid decline in the Negro mortality rate. The opportunities for improvement along this line are great because of the powerful influence the U N I A. wields over the people most affected by such conditions, namely, the masses of the race Therefore, let the U N I A draw into its ranks competent men and women in the field of medicine who can tackle the health problem as it affects Negroes in local communities, and let them instruct the masses properly along the lines of preventive medicine, prophylaxis and sanitation. hall white the organ pailed the strains of a martial hymn. The meeting began at 8 p.m. and the chapin carried through the preliminaries according to our ritual. I was now introduced to the congregation by the vice-president (the president being on vacation in the U.S.A.) in my reply I commented on the sea of faces, my pleasure to be in their midst and to speak in behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I told of the difficulties which confronted me in successfully organizing the first division of Cuba in the city of Havana, how I entertained the officers of the Black Star Line when its first ship, the Frederick Douglas, steamed to our shores and made an indelible impression as to the achievements of the Negro. It was then that President Moncal in his palace gave me, as well as the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, his hearty congratulations, and the U.N.I.A was a reality to every Negro in Cuba. It was my first interview with Mr Garvey and my conclusion has ever been that he is the right man in the right place. I referred to my aid in building up the Cayo Mambi Division—a division which reckons among the foremost of the island. I believe there was a good impression made and I took my seat. I had to be heard in speaking, for my voice must be heard by all who packed the spacious building and by those who crowded the doors and windows. Banes, with its membership of nearly a thousand (940) and its hundreds of curious observers, came out with one consent. An approximate census of the town could there be taken Truly Banes is a beacon light of all divisions in Cuba. This is no flight of fancy. The High Commissioner, Mr Morales, who has seen all the divisions of this country, has already spoken in like terms. On Monday afternoon I had the privilege by request of Major J Evans of seeing the African Legion and the Boy Scouts at drill (of the latter group the oldest was 14 years old). There was a complicity of discipline, a manifestation of careful training as Lieutenant Leslie gave his commands Being called upon to give a short address to them I emphasized loyalty to a good cause and patriotism to a motherland — our motherland. Africa, illustrated the patriotism of Napoleon of France, Wellington of England and Washington of America. The future expected much from them and hope was entertained that their deeds would be so valorous as to be recorded on the brilliant pages of history. When we were severing the vendor of the "Negro Woman" came with the papers. As a coincidence the issue of May I had a eulogy from me on Miss Dunlap's poetic talent, a report of the unvelling of the charter of the Cayo Mambi Division, of which I am president, and at the same time an account from a branch which I had organised. It was pleasing to me and wondrous to the Banes folk. A concert took place at night. It was a huge success, and every item of the program drew the spontaneous applause of all who attended. The memory of my visit to Banes will ever be a treasure rare and dear. And my prayer is that its officers and members of the U. N. L. A. there may from "strengib to strength go on And win the wall-wought day." NEWPORT NEWS CITY OFFICIALS SAY MARCUS GARVEY HAS PRACTICAL PROGRAM FOR THE NEGRO RACE President-General Tells Large Audience That the U. N. I. A. Is Organizing to Deliver the Goods as a Great National Imperial Power Bv. S. A. HAYNES NEWPORT NEWS, Va. July 1—As soon as the announcement was made that the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey was coming to Newport News the traitors got busy. This motley group is made up principally of ex-officers of the local divisions in the city most of whom have been ousted from office because of their dishonesty and disloyalty to the cause. They left no stone unturned to induce the city officials to stop the meeting. On Thursday June 29 the date of Mr. Garvey's arrival in the city these traitors made their last desperate stand, but they were left gasping for breath when the writer along with Mr. R H Jones had an interview with the Commissioner of Revenue explained the object of Mr. Garvey's visit and deposited a copy of the constitution with him for information of the city officials. Thus the traitors were again defeated and once more the great God of Isaac spoke and it was finished. Long before scheduled time the crowd besieged the Evelyn Theatre which was beautifully decorated by Messrs R. H Jones D Dahney and B A Ovens. At 8:15 p.m the President-General and his escorts of Legions and Black Cross Nurses appeared on the scene amid the singing applause of the enthusiastic audience After the singing of "Ethiopia" the Boy Scouts under Captain Young and Jones gave three rousing cheers for Marcus Garvey The meeting was called to order by Rev Edward Godfrey, president of No 6 division After the opening exercises he then introduced the writer as master of ceremonies who spoke for ten minutes on Man's Greatest Asset" Many beautiful solos and recitations were aly rendered The band, orchestra and choir contributed largely to the evening's enjoyment The Welcome address was made by Dr N C Drew president of the East End division. COMMISSIONER CARROLL STIRS THE GARY, IND., U. N. I. A June 24, 1922 The High Commissioner, Hon. E. F. Carroll, is again in our midst preaching the doctrine of Africa for the African As directed by the Hon Marcus Garvey, and the U. N I A, Hon Carroll is giving us some good food for thought He has a masterful way of expressing himself although he often says that he is the least in the Kingdom of the organization His sole topic is the principle of the U. N I A We do not know what Gary would have done if Hon Carroll had not been sent to us He is the only representative who has come here and has served the organization and the people we find him to be upright honest and sincere There are many braid and meat hustlers as the Commissioner calls them, here in Gary Hon Carroll is working like a Trojan trying to make the Gary Division one hundred per cent We have had many of the officers from the parent body but with the single exception of the Hon Marcus Garve and Lady Davis none of them have shown that they really had the organization at heart, they seem to think that we here in Gary are all tools. In reading the Negro World of this issue it is heartrending to note the way the Hon Marcus Garve) is calling for aid, and it seems that so many of his assistants are only out for themselves. They seem to think that our program is a play toy. Gary never awakens until Hon Carroll comes in with all his great logic and wisdom about what the Negro ought to do. We are having a drive for convention expenses, as well as another membership drive. We are going to give to the lady who sells the greatest amount of tickets the distinguished honor of being the first African queen of Gary, Ind. The second prize to be awarded will be the honor conferred as the first African Princess of Gary, Ind. The third will be the honor of the first African Duchess of Gary Ind. The fourth will be the first Titled African Lady of Gary, Ind. We are then to have a coronation, and the Commissioner will return to Gary to officiate in one grand drive for membership for our division. Certain Negroes are trying to start something here in Gary, but no more trouble for Gary, the one who does start anything is going to get just what he or she starts, because there is no time for idling, we have had enough of selfish Negroes trying to live on our organization. We are going to send a delegate along to assist the Hon. H. P. Carroll and the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is the greatest man of the times. So up with the cause of the redemption of Africa, down with all bread and meat hutters, long live the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hurrah for our gallant High Commissioner, hurrah, hurrah for our Chief, the Hon Marcus Garvey. who was highly applauded for his timely remarks. A very spectacular demonstration was the presentation of bouquets by nine little girls who were honored with many smiles and thanks from the President-General. In introducing the speaker Mr B A Ovene said he would introduce a real man a man that is not leading thousands, but millions Mr Ovene's address was typical of the 100 per cent Garveye and won the admiration of the audience. On rising to speak the President-General had to wait until the cheers coming from every corner of the building had subsided. Twice he attempted to make a start, twice the building rucked to and fro with the vociferous noise of liberty-loving gouls. It was a typical New York-Philadelphia-Los Angeles ovation, given by those who fully realized the scope of the work of the association brought about by the great genius of the twentieth century. The President-General spoke on the alms and objects of the association he represents. The following are landmarks, statements that will never be forgotten by those who heard the practical and inspiring address of the great Negro state man. 1 I represent a movement that seeks to educate the 400,000,000 Negroes. 2 The U N I A object of this organization is to establish a government of our own on the continent of Africa 3 The U N I A has arrested the attention of all the governments of the world 4 Since the U N I A has come into existence we have made better citizens of Negroes everywhere 5 We of the U N I A are aspiring to the height of government 6 When I was elected Provinital President of Africa they gave me the hardest the toughest job in the twentieth century 7 First, find what is right then do NOTES OF THE COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG POST The Colonial Charles Young Post No. 398 American Legion is rapidly coming to the fore as a representative community organization. It has been instrumental in aiding in the adjustment of classes for a number of men and in aiding veterans in need to get help from the State Aid Fund. The Post has a good sized up membership, the present time and is launching a drive for two hundred new members. At the last meeting the men were tendered a smoker by the officers of the Post. On Wednesday, June 25 it gave an informal dance for members and friends. The headquarters of the Post are at 2350 Seventh avenue between 137th and 138th sts.

The emancipation, the freedom of Africa is a right thing to do. 8 There is but one community in which we are determined to make a confusion, and that community is Africa. 9 Every Negro is proud of the Red, the Black, and the Green. 10 I did not come to Newport News to ask your support in building a church around the corner, to organize a social club or a colored Y M C A but I came here to ask your co-operation to build an empire, a nation 11 Africa is held by an alien foe.

The white press next morning halted Garvey as an able advocate of racial progress. The Daily Press said that if the Negroes could fully grasp the importance of his program there would be no cause for lynching and burning in the South His is a practical program mapped out by a man of broad ideas and noble vision. At the close of the meeting a banquet was given at Liberty Hall by members of the choir. The Arrangement Committee, the Star, and all those who contributed in some way to the success of the meeting are deserving of praise for the interest manifested. meetings has thrown such a great light in the city as the two tremendous sessions held June 28 and 27 in honor of Commissioner Henry Hodge of New Jersey who was the principal speaker. He delivered a very educating lecture on leadership. The president spoke on the need of a reliable foundation. The opening address was rendered by the ex-president, J. Garner following the welcome address by W J Gibbs of the A. M. E. Zion Church. The general secretary, N E. Gumba acted as master of ceremonies. Splendid musical selections were rendered by the choir of the A. M. E. Zion Church who is always ready and willing to serve the N. U. L. A. One of the results of these mass meetings was a letter presented from the Second Baptist Church informing the division that the doors of their church are now open to the Universal Negro Improvement Association at all times, with love and welcome, which was greatly applauded by the members of the U N I A.

ESTE About three weeks ago I left Montreal for this city to work in conjunction with my genial friend. Mr James Gibson, the popular "Montreal favorite." It has been my good fortune to attend the meetings of the U N I A here and to take part in the execution of the afternoon's program. I was profoundly impressed by the intense love of the work expressed by the executive of the branch Mr Scott, the president, is a man of heartfelt earnestness and a devout Garveyte. Dr Myera, the captain, is offering a great contribution to the religious aspect of the work. I can never forget the deep fervor with which he read the Scriptural lesson of the afternoon. He is an interesting figure. I have met the Hon. Mr Grease, the commissioner for Canada, a man who sacrificed unfailingly for the cause of African redemption. It is regrettable to record that Mr Greese has received but very little consideration from the heads of the U. N. I. A. He was slighted in Montreal, where he was instrumental in raising funds for the head office and other departments, yet in spite of these experiences he kept the torch afame and is still willing to toll persistently. There seems to be some trouble in Toronto Division. Several members told me that the delinquency of members has been provoked by the difference of headquarters in granting a local charter. Like other branches Toronto has passed through awful crises, but the fine heroic spirit of the faithful few indicate a measure of prosperity. The ladies are active and make a religion of Garvoyism. They are the flowers of the branch. In my next article I shall give a detailed account of the conditions which exist among our people. Toronto is a quiet city, well laid out, and with great educational facilities. IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1922 El Gobierno de Méjico Aprueba la Coloniza- ción Hebrea Se está tramitando en Méjico un plan de colonización que, de llevarse a efecto, reduciria a la insignificancia, comparativamente, la immigration menonita que aportó vente mil almas a la población del país. El plan daria hogar a millones de judíos rusos y polacos que se encuentran actualmente en precarias condiciones. El Celo y la Malicia Son Los Peores Gérmenes Epidémicos Que Puedan Afectar el Cerebro Humano—Los Que Critican la Dirección, Propósito y Actividades de la Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, Nada Han Realizado en Beneficio Propio—La Dirección de Nuestra Organización Ofrece Oportunidad a Los Opositores Para Que Demnestren Su Alibidad Proyectase ofrecer grandes extensiones de terreno a los judios perseguidos de Europa. Según el proyecto en referencia, pondrase a la disposición de dichos elementos semiticos sesenta y cuatro mil millas cuadradas de territorio mejicano, principalmente a lo largo de la frontera americana. Noticias recibidas de la ciudad de méjico, informan que el presidente Obregón se ocupa actual mente en el estudio de los planes formulados al respecto. Durante los cuatro últimos años un gran número de críticos han dirigido su fuego lento en contra de nuestra organización, de su honorable presidente y de sus corporaciones alladas. Sus manifestaciones han sido mas de una vez comentadas en las columnas editoriales de este semanario, con el objeto de demostrar a los elementos de nuestra raza su actitud contraproduente sobre una causa fustificada. Por otra parte llegan informes de que Paul W. Rothinberg, judio prominente, está organizando una comisión que se haria cargo de las tierra concedidas a sus congeneres por el gobierno mejicano. El rabino Martin Zielonka, del templo Monte Sinal de esta ciudad, concedió en reciente fecha una entrevista a una revista de Cincinnati, Ohio, y en el curso de la misma delineó los proyectos tocantes a la colonización judaica de Mejico De nuevo hemos de recordar a estos señores críticos que hace cuatro años y medio iniciamos el mas sólido de los movimientos en pro de la unificación de la raza negra y de su progreso en general, sin tener que recurrir a la cooperación de otra raza alguna. ¿Cuál ha sido el resultado de nuestra árdua labor después de cuatro años medio de lucha? Desde hace mucho tiempo se ha discutido la conveniencia de abrir las puertas de Méjico a los hebreos fortunados de Europa. Se hicieron gestiones para la entrada de inmigrantes judíos a los Estado. Unidos, pero se indicó que, siendo extranjeros, no podían hacerlo sin haber estado antes un año pasado el Dr Zielonka fué al país vecino con objeto de organizar comisiones de auxilio, abrir escuelas y establecer agencias de empleo bajo los auspices de los rabinos americanos reformados. Poco después se empezaron a discutir planes para la colonización de los judíos residentes en Méjico y los millones que radican en Europa. Encontramos actualmente la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, un movimiento universal, conciente organizado en los Estados Unidos de America, Cánada, las Antillas, Centro y Sur America, Europa, Asia, Australia y Africa. Encontramos millones de Negros profesando una nueva fé y abrigando una nueva esperanza; notamos que el sentimiento del Negro evoluciona rápidamente en todas partes; notamos que centenares de industrias pertenecientes a los elementos de nuestra raza obtienen un desarrollo sorprendente, por medio de la activa propaganda de nuestra organización. El consul general de Méjico en El Paso, señor Luis Montes de Oca, declaró que los planes tocante a la colonización judía se vien tramitando desde hace tiempo, pero que nada saba en definitiva sobre la propuesta cesión an inmigraente israelita de 64 000 millas cuadradas de suelo mexicano. Vemos establecido un semanario, vocero de los intereses de la raza, el mas importante de los hasta hoy establecidos, denominado El Negro World y un sinnúmero de instituciones comerciales, tales como pulperias, mercerias, restaurantes, trenes de lavado, sastrerias y otras fábricas de vestidos en diferentes puntos del país, bajo la dirección y administración del Departamento de Industrias de nuestra organización, la cual posee propiedades y da trabajo a millares de hombres y mujeres de la raza. El conceder tierras contigua a la frontera, seria violar el artículo ventisere de la constitución dijo el señor Montes de Oca. Plecho articulo preuve que los extranjeros no pueden poseer terrenos dentro de una distancia de ochenta millas de la frontera, aún cuando se han hecho excepciones en determinados casos. Entiendese también que unos diez mil indios radicados en Oklahoma están tratando de establecerse en México donde podrian cazar y pescar. Tal es el resultado de la labor iniciada por un solo individuo con una determinación incomparable, asistido por aquellos que, teniendo confianza en su entereza de carácter, han engrosado las filas de la asociación, cooperando de ese modo a la realización del programa delineado de antemano. Proyecto Para Declarar Festivo en Cuba el 12 de Octubre Si el Hon. Marcus Garvey ha iniciado este grandioso movimiento y por medio de su determinación ha puesto en práctica sus ideas, corresponde, pues, a la opinión pública el juzgar con criterio propio y dar al Cesar lo que al Cesar pertence. El senador habanero doctor Antonio Gonzalo Perez has entregado a la secretaria de la alta camara la siguiente proposición de ley con que se dará cuenta en la primera sesión que celebre el senado. La memoración de los grandes hechos de la historia entraña una muy alta y noble enseñanza, de immense trascendencia en los destinos de la humanidad Ningún resultado práctico, nada eficiente hemos visto que hayan obtenido aquellos que, desde la tribuna pública, en las columnas de la prensa y en la conversación particular han criticado y aun critican nuestras actividades por el bien común de nuestra raza. Su actitud tiende solamente a retardarnos en la marcha de avance que hacia el progreso hemos emprendido. Y ningún acontecimiento más grande, ni de mayor y más perdurable influencia en el progreso y en la civilización universal, que el descubrimiento de América por el insigne navigatear Cristobal el 12 de octubre de 1942. Asi se ha reconocido en todos los tiempos hasta el extremo de que Francisco Gómez de Gomara en su informe al emperador Carlos V le decía "Señor, la mayor cosa después de la creación del mundo es el descubrimiento do las Indias." La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra una y otra vez ha ofrecido a sus opositores la oportunidad de tomar parte en este movimiento, con el objeto de que sus abilities como directores puedan ser demostradas. Una y otra vez esta oportunidad no ha sido aceptada tal vez por prurito u otra causa sin justificación, la cual sobreponen a la idea de una raza emancipada. El 12 de Octubre es, pués, una fecha immortal, de gloria innmacerable para la nación española y para las naciones americanas, especialmente aquellas de su extirpe y de su idioma. En ese oia memorable comienza una nueva era para el universo entero y una nueva vida para el mundo americano. El lema de nuestra organización, hemos de repetir, es bienestar y progreso para nuestra raza en general. En la realización de este ideal nos vemos interceptados por un gran número de dificultades dimanadas, no de parte de elementos pertenecientes a otras razas sino de parte de nuestros propios hermanos en raza, probablemente inspirados por cierto celo. En todas partes donde nuestras manifestaciones y reuniones han sido interrumpidas por los capitanes de policía, estos han sido influenciados por elementos de nuestra propia raza, opuestos a su propio bienestar y progreso. En esa fecha gloriaosa se iricia en la América la obra imperecedera de la civilización cristiana. la más dulce, más hermosa y más humana de las civilizaciones con todos su herímosis y todos sus errores, como obra de hombre al fin y a través de los siglos surgen en América nuevas nacionalidades, toda esa brillante constalación de republicas soberanas, llamadas a ejercer incontrable influencia en los destinos del mundo. Una nueva oportunidad es presentada a los refractarios de nuestra raza. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra celebrará su tercera convención internacional de los pueblos negros del mundo, en la ciudad de Nueva York, durante todo el mes de Agosto próximo. Con tal objeto dicha organización ha hecho extensiva su invitación a todo elemento de la raza negra intefesado en su desenvolvimiento progresista. Abrigamos la esperanza de que un cambio de opinión se opere en la mente de estos críticos y refractarios, el cual les impulse a cooperar directa ó indirectamente, al éxito de esta gran asamblea de los Pueblos Negros del Universo. Conmemorar esa fecha es recordera nuestra histe-ia y nuestro origen. Es rearfirmar los eternos lazos que unen a los hombres y a los puertas, la sangre, el idioma y las tradiciones. Recuerdo santo que suavizando asperezas, alentando esperanzas y reavivando sentimientos—sin detrimento de la propia independencia—contribuye grandemente al mantenimiento de las más cordiales relaci- nes de caracter internacional y al desarrollo de la riqueza y de la cultura. Que asi lo han comprendido las republicas hermanas, lo dice encuentemente el hecho de que todas, con la sola excepción de Cuba y Méjico, han declarado ya fiesta nacional el 12 de Octubre. De consiguiente, nada más justificado, en todo orden de ideas y de sentimientos, que declarar fiesta nacional el día 12 de Octubre de cada año, en memoración del descubrimiento de América. Fundado en estas consideraciones someto al seno la siguiente proposición de ley: Artículo unico, declarar dia de fiesta nacional el 12 de Octubre de cada año en memoración del descubrimiento de América. Palacio del Semado, Habana, 21 de Junio de 1922. (Firmado) Dr. Antonio Gonzalo Perez. Actitud Americana Sobre la Independencia de Filipinas La misión filipina viene a los Estados Unidos a solicitar la independencia immediata. La ultima misión de esta indole recibo del secretario Baker, hablando en nombre del presidente Wilson, la seguridad de la profunda simpatia de la administración de Wilson con el movimiento separatista. Esta declaración se hallaba en armonia con la política de Mr. Wilson, que trató desde 1916, de cortar las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y las Filipinas. El presidente concedió su apoyo a la enmienda Clarke a la ley de Jones para el gobierno de las Filipinas, prescribiendo el arriamiento de la bandera norteamericana y el abandono a si mismo del pueblo filipino en el agitado mar de la política del lejano oriente La situación ha cambiado considerablemente desde entonces, y la opinion publica sobre los peligros de abandonar a si mismas a nuevas y atrasadas naciones ha sido poderosamente modificada por las experiencias de la reconstrucción universal recogidas en Paris. Pueblos más avanzados que las Filipinas han sido sometidos a mandatos internacionales. Siria es un territorio bajo mandato. Armenia iba a ser un estado sometido a mandato Albania, antes un reino independiente, ha tenido gran dificultad en mantenerse a si mismo y ahora ha vuelto a someterse a la tutela de la Liga de las naciones. Con estos ejemplos en consideración, el juicio del mundo se ha enfriado en relación con los experimentos aventurados de creación de nacionalidades politicamente sin desarrollar. Una de las primeras tareas de la administración Harding fue reparar la desmoralización causada en las Filipinas por ocho años de gohiro americano que cedió demasiado a la presión de los que demandaban total administración local. En las audiencias: verificadas ante la comisión de asuntos insulares de la camara hace dos años, representantes del partido independentista mostráronienz renuentes a declarar que la independencia produciria mejores resultados prácticos que la continuación de las presentes relaciones políticas con los Estados Unidos. De hecho, atacaron a la idea de la completa independencia, sugirendo que deserrian continuar bajo el dominio de los Estados Unidos en cuanto concierne a asuntos extranjeros. Esta actitud revela debilidad irremedible de la agitación por la independencia. Es una agitación que tiende a obtener un dominio mayor de los empleos y la hacienda para los políticos nativos, no basado en ninguna expectativa de conceder al pueblo de las islas mayor seguridad, más genuina libertad o mejores conditions para su país. El secretario Weeks afirma que no apoya la concesión de independencia inmediata a las Filipinas y que el presidente Harding tampoco partidario de ella. La Conferencia Tacna-Arica Suspendida Temporalmente El embajador chileno Mathieu, que visitó al secretario Hughes, volvió al departamento de estado celebrando con este una conferencia de media hora sobre la situación de Tacna-Arica. Después de la entrevista no se hizo ningun comentario oficial sobre la naturalezha exacta de la conferencia aunque se supo de fuentes autorizadas que no habia habido cambio en la posición chilena y que los progresos ulteriores de las negociaciones dependen de la república del gobierno peruano. El doctor Porras, presidente de la delegación peruana declaró hoy que no se habia recibido ninguna replica de su gobierno a la comunicación ultima que envió después de su visita al departamento de estado con el embajador Pezet, en la cual dio el secretario Hughes los términos exactos de la formula que sugirió para el protocolo del arbitraje. Tan pronto como se recliba Lima la réplica, según los empleados de la delegación, será convocada una reunión conjunta de los delegados puanos y chilenos para discutir la cuestión y comenzar la redacción efectiva del protocolo, lo cual se cree renegadora una semantica. La Misión Filipina Recibida Por Officiales de la Ciudad Los miembros de la misión filipina que vino a los Estados Unidos y se encuentra camino de su patria, fueron recibidos cordialmente en la alcaldia, donde Mr. Murray Hulbert, presidente de la junta de concejales, les aseguró que la población de la ciudad de Nueva York tenia sinceras simpatias por los filipinos y por sus esfuerzos en pro de la independencia. Aún cuando su apelación al presidente Harding y al congreso no dio frutos en esta ocasion, Mr. Hulbert declaró que se confiaba en que las autoridades se convencieran de que los filipinos estan capacitados para governarse a si propios. Hablando en nombre del alcalde Hylan, que no pudo saludar a la mission personalmente, Mr. Hulbert dijo que erra graito observar el desarrollo de las industrias en las Filipinas. Por desgracia no puelo darles la clase de libertad que desean, protesto Mr Hulbert, pero puedo y les doy con gusto la libertad de la cuidad de Nueva York. El senador Manuel Quezon, presidente del senado filipino, dijo que la misión había vendido a apelar al pueblo americano ya que sus compatriotas no eran partidarios de medios violentes para la consecución de sus propósitos. Africa es Nuestra Patria Somos errantes, tristes peregrinos, nuestra patria está en lejanos lares Regresemus pronto en sus palmares Salvarla del peligro es el destino. El tirano no quiere vernos libre, Lucha por tenernos optimidos. Despertemos, no seguid dormidos, pues nada en el mundo es imposible *Cuál es la tierra de nuestros amores?* *Cuál es la patria en donde nacieron aquellos hombres, que al mundo dieron juventud hermosa, cual fragantes flores?* Es Etiopia la que está sufriendo, la vil tutela del cononizaje. Alli ha posado su planta sc.lvaje y cada dia se va extendiendo. Porqué vivir nosotros aquil, es un suelo de una raza extrafa? Acudemos pronto a la montañas de nuestro lar y en buena lid. Y si el tirano pretende imponerse, a nuestra entrada en la gran nación, lanzemos el grito a la redención, que al pueblo esclavizado pertenece. La guerra es santa; la guerra es compatible, a un pueblo esclavo y en la orfandad, pués con ella la gran humanidad, cumple una ley que es indestructible. Sino, tendremos la maldición de los nativos de Ubangi Chari, que son diazmados en su pais, por los Chacales, sin compasión. Ramón Apezteguia Hernández. Santiago de Cuba. UN DIQS, UN FIN, UN DESTINO Se Funda en Barranquilla, Rep. de Colombia, la Primera División de la Asociación Universal Para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra Finamente invitados por cumplidos caballeros constituyentes de la poderosa sociedad que en el mundo entero mueve hoy los elementos de la raza negra a un fin, corde con su programa y honesta lógica, nos trasladamos al No. 31 de la calle Oban do cuyos salones hallamos engalanados con los pabellones de Colombia y la República de Africa que idealiza esta asociación. Encontramos alli y nos fue presentado por la sefiorita Cecilia King, al renombrado, activismo Professor Adolf Vidal miembro de la alta central de la sociedad, con residencia en Toronto, Canada, quien vino ha poco a dejar organizada la sucursal de Barranquilla. Fuimos también presentados a los sefiores R. J. White, Issac Meyer y H. L. Munroe, presidente, vicepresidente y secretario de la expresada sociedad y, momentos después, a las marciales notas del himno colombiano oldo de pie, siguieron los números del programa. El presidente hablo en inglés refiendose a los grandes y nobles ideales de la sociedad, agregando que si y mil veces ve la posibilidad del triunfo, porque cuenta con simpatias la idea en estad ciudad donde hay entusiastas que trajan con fe, y, por que ya hoy, según se ve pasan de setecientas las securitales que atraen el concurso y acrecen la fortuna que necesita esa causa para llegar al fin. Tradujo este discurso la seflorita King y luego hablo el Professor Vidal en español, inglés y francés (porque allí habíamos de todos los idiomas indicados) expresando su gratitud a los socios de este mismo sal y dando a entender que va a partir trea dias después para Nueva York, llevando el alma rebobante de gozo portando plausible nueva, cual es la de agregar a la sociedad universal cata sucural, de un pueblo culto y verdaderamente civilizado que ayuda a todo progreso. Hablo la señorita King, como número, expresando también su vehemente interés por el ideal; haciendo una ligera resesta histórica de lo que es y merece ser la raza vigorosa, por y número que de Africa procede, por que según lógico decidir de europeos, asiáticos, océanicos y americanos, cada uno tiene su continente pero hastr hoy no le conceden los africanos el suyo que es su verdadero hogar. El señor secretario hablo largo, consagrando el acto al Todo Poderoso. El señor David Vos W, miembro distinguidо, pronunció las palabras que separadamente insertamos y el joven Martin Anaya de Mompóx, con elocuencia y gracia, dirigió um corto discursos improvisado, tras el cual recituó estrofas divinas de la mujer colombiana. Muchas jovenes de las antillas francesas y de las posesiones inglesas cantaron. El humno de la República de Africa se repitio con juego de banderas varias veces y con refrescos a la concurrencia después del Champagne, se desizó el tiempo sin pericirbilo hasta las dos de las mañana. Solemnizó todo el acto el honorable doctor don Vicente de la Hoz, quien fue previamente invitado cono nosotros, y apadrinó el descubrimiento de las carta fundamental de la sociedad. Hubo muchos jóvenes de ambos sexos no pertenecientes a la sociedad pero muy amigos de esos torneos de cultura. El órden reinó y la orquestra animó el espiritu hasta bien tarde. El Anunciador siempre dispuesto a impulsar toda noble labor, felicita a los de esa raza, que han laborado en pro de su perfeccionamiento y altos fines, ofreciendo sus columnas, estimulando —El Anunciador, Barranquilla, Republica de Colombia. El Progreso de China La China cambia rápidamente. No habia una calle decente hasta hace poco tiempo. Pero ahora la China comienza a importar automóviles, y para poderlos usar, principia a construir calles y caminos. Hace diez años—escribe el corresponsal del "Times"—, no habia un solo automóvil en Pekin, pero ya el mejoramiento de las calles habla empezado. Dentro de la ciudad, habla una trinitena de kilómetros de calles bien pavimentadas. Hoy las calles que se hallan en buenas condiciones tienen un desarrollo de cera de 192 kilómetros, y fuera del perimetro urbano, hay 160 kilómetros de caminos utilizables para el tráfico automovilístico.

"AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa-All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa. Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be made out to the association and not to individuals. Address your communication to Secretary General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. All donations to this fund will be acknowledged in The Negro World, week by week, and a book of donors will be printed and circulated all over the world as a record for succeeding generations of Negroes to see and know those who contributed to the liberation of the race and the freedom of Africa. Send in your five dollars or more now. All persons donating $25 or more to this fund, in addition to being granted a certificate, will have his or her photograph published in The Negro World and in the Universal Volume to be published for distribution all over the world. THE FUND 10.00 The Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes that therefore, and while some of us stand up and say all kinds of things criticizing the Klan, millions of our brothers are suffering because of this criticism up North. We desire to prevent that suffering, and it is for that reason we went down to the South to have a proper understanding and to see if we could diplomatically at least help the Negro to throw off the suffering, to throw off this yoke without causing any one to suffer That is really the attitude of the organization: that is the reason I interviewed the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. He told me this when I put these pointed questions to him. I asked him: "Mr. Clark, you will understand that the Negro of today is quite different to the Negro of sixty years ago. Sixty years ago the Negro was a slave, untutored, unintelligent, uncivilized, so to speak; knew nothing about civilized culture or about civilization, and he was satisfied to be a NOTE The Head of the Unit in each and every Division Universal Negro Improved Training Manual for each Unit should send in immediate Surgeon-General a complete members in each Unit require know how many copies of Division.

The farmer is a Klansman, the policeman is a Klansman, the police captain is a Klansman, the Mayor of the city is a Klansman, the Governor is a Klansman, and these poor unfortunate black folks live in that town or in that part of the country where the Klan rules. It is all right for the fellow up North who does not live under the influence of the Klan to say things about the Klan, but who is going to pay the price of it? The poor unfortunate fellow who lives next door to the Klan and comes in contact with him every day NOTICE! The Head of the Unit of the Black Cross Nurses in each and every Division who desires a copy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association's Nurses Training Manual for each and every member of the Unit should send in immediately to the office of the Surgeon-General a complete list of the number of members in each Unit requiring same, so that we may know how many copies to have printed for each Division. Surgeon-General's Dept. 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. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General farmer's help—to be a laborer, even to be a slave. Today we have a cultured, civilized Negro, an educated man, a graduate of the best universities in the country and the world. The Negro of sixty years ago had no ambition because he had no civilization, no culture and could not appreciate the benefits and advantages of civilization. Now that he is civilized and cultured he is ambitious and desires the things that every man desires. Now Mr Clark what is the Klan attitude toward the Negro who desires to be President of the United States of America. And he said this. He shall never be so long as there is one white man living in the United States of America. I said Mr Clark, what is the attitude of the Klan towards a Negro who wants to be in the Senate or Congress. He gave me the same answer. What is the attitude of the Klan towards the Negro who wants to be governor of a State? and he gave the same answer—"Not so long as there is one white man in the United States of America." Again I asked him. Mr Clark does your organization represent only the group of men in it or the sentiment of your race? The answer was this. This organization represents the sentiments of the entire white race. Mr Clark did not tell me anything new he told me what I discovered seven years ago. He told me the thing caused me to have organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association four and a half years ago. So I was not disturbed, I was not nervous at all. I was speaking to a man who was brutally a white man and I was speaking to him as a man who was brutally a Negro. He had his interests to protect and I had mine to protect. His one idea, his one greatest hope is to see the great white race the masters of civilization. My one dream my one hope is to see the great black race masters of civilization (Applause) Now I am not going to waste time fighting with the Ku Klux Klan I am going to use my time fighting for the ideals that we have. And then I asked him: "Mr Clark if your organization is organized for the purpose of offending—of killing—Negroes, of suppressing Negroes, what do you think the end will be?" He said "We are not organised for that purpose." I then said to him "I want you to understand that the Negro question is no longer a Southern question or a national question. It is as President Harding said in his Birmingham speech—that the Negro question is no longer a Southern or a national question in America, it has become an international question I said to him "If you are organized for the sole purpose of suppressing Negro ambition and advancement, do you know that Negroes are getting together all over the world and may return the compliment to you." He said "I realize that, and it is because of that we have organized. We are not organizing to be unfair to the Negro, we want to see the Negro develop as the white man has developed. To be fair, I advise every Negro and those who aspire to leadership to form an organization similar to that of our Ku Kiu Kiu Kiu so that the Negroes may be able to look out for their own interests and not continue to be begging white people to do for them what they ought to do for themselves." He spoke to me in that frank and open way. I made him to understand that the Universal Negro Improvement Association adopted this attitude—that if the Ku Klux Klan in America was going to outrage Negroes simply because they are black, we may return the compliment somewhere because some other folks do not look like us. He realized that and said, "We are willing to see a great Negro organization with which we can enter into negotiations and understanding to solve this great question of race, and especially the social question of race." And then we discussed the social side I said: "Mr Clark, what is your attitude on white men raping black women?" And he said "We are as much against that as my self-respecting Negro can be, and we are organized to see that the purity of the race, and especially the purity of the white race, is upheld, and because of that we would ICE! of the Black Cross Nurses who desires a copy of the ment Association's Nurses and every member of the diately to the office of the este list of the number ofiring same, so that we may to have printed for each surgeon-General's Dept. the Universal Negro Association are re- their orders for the of the Organization last Convention, toeral's Office.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association is carrying out that doctrine splendidly. When I arrived at Batou Rouge, in Louisiana, I was visited by the president and some officers of the near-by division. They brought to me this report. Three nights ago seven white men came into a colored neighborhood. We found them at midnight sleeping in homes where they had no business and they flogged them and drove them out of the neighborhood, and the next day they brought them before the judge, and the judge, who was a Ku Kluxer let go all the colored men and said. Do some more of that." So you realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is carrying out just what the Ku Klux Klan is carrying out the purity of the white race down South—and we are going to carry out the purity of the black race not only down South, but all through the world. I intend in another week or so to publish the nature of the interview and you will have an opportunity of reading word for word what was said and what was done. But before you pass judgment on the Klan, before you go out of your way to criticize any white organization, just find out first how much you will be benefited by the criticism you make. If the criticism is not going to help you I advise you to leave it alone. Just at this time it does not help certain Negroes to go on criticising everybody and everything. You must realize your position in this country. It is hopeless. You cannot, therefore adopt an attitude of offense and aggression because in the retaliation a large number of us are going to suffer The Fate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Let us take the Dyer Antle Lynohing Bill. I believe that bill would have been very much more successful and would have had the support of more of the leading statesmen of this country if a certain organization had not gone forth and made so many claims to the originality of the bill and to the father- IMPORTANT NOTICE SIONS OF THE Information has reached unscrupulous persons and organization whilst on the fi are attempting to sell their President-General's at Divi ciation for their own perso are requested to prevent constitution and to report the President-General's Ou sold from the Repository Officer who sells his or any except through the regular making a report of same thru ing to defraud the member to it that officers who visi in keeping with the consti immediately to the Preside BY O UNIVERSAL NEGR ASSOCI MARCUS GARVE SAVE TIME SAVE LABOR SAVE E HO Let us do your washing.

As proof of what I mean Since the agitation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People about the anti-lynchin bill more lynchings have occurred in the Southern States than prior to the agitation of the bill If more diplomatic steps had been taken we could have had the passage of the bill without anybody knowing who was responsible for it That we could have achieved by diplomacy without creating any offense It brings me to this that our leadership is either ignorant or bankrupt our leadership has no diplomacy What is the use of going out of your way to offend somebody whom you cannot discipline or correct?

Haven returned but recently from the great Middle West—the prairie lands of America—visiting Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota. I have had the opportunity of studying the growth of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I have been witnessing the awakening of the Negro he has but recently realized his position not only in America, not only in the West Indies and South and Central America, but he has realized his position in our fatherland of Africa realizes the European countries have taken that rich continent and parcelled it out among themselves without any thought of the rights or privileges of the native African without any thought of the scattered children of Africa, but as the speaker preceding me has said. Thank God for the man Marcus Garvey who came from the island of Jamaica to awaken the Negroes of the world to awaken them to their position in the world's affairs, to give to the Negro who had grown hopeless, to the Negro who had grown discouraged.

So that alone counts for much when you can make a race of 400 000 000 strong fix their eyes upon the star of Ethiopia that is now rising above the horizon make 400 000 000 souls grave for their fatherland and declare one and for all time that Africa must and shall be free (Ap clause) HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon. Rudolph Smith leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies was the first speaker introduced and began his address by a commendation on the large assemblage which, he took it, was an evidence of their desire to put over the program of the redemption of Africa. Continuing he said. This race with which I am identified, numbering something like 400 000 000 of the 12 320 000 000 people who inhabit this earth realizing that the greatest part of their land has been stolen from them realizing that exploitation prevails in all parts of their land a spirit of despair affection has arisen and because of that it has given birth to a new race that is aspir As a result of the principle of self-determination for weaker peoples advocated by ex-President Wilson during the World War the speaker cited instances of small nations, such as Czecho-Slovakia, Poland, Ireland and Egypt, which had agitated for and secured their independence. This spirit of self-determination, he added is sweeping the entire universe, and in the wake of it a man was raised up by God from the little island of Jamaica to bring together the scattered some of Ethiopia so that Africa may be redeemed. That man was found in the person of Hon Marcus Garvey (Applause). Come what may he concluded 400,000,000 Negroes from the United States, West Indies, from South and Central America, from Europe and from Africa, standing up under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, will put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
