The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XII. No. 24 3rd Annual Interna Of the World t FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: What will go down in history as the greatest event of the Negro race will be the grand opening of the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, to take place in New York City on August 1. Already thousands of delegates have arrived to participate in this great international conclave. When it is considered that the delegates are coming from the four corners of the world, namely, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, South and Central America, the West Indies, Canada and the United States, it will be seen that an interest is being manifested in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association never yet demonstrated on behalf of any movement. The delegates who will assemble in New York from the 1st to the 31st of August will be the true and only representatives of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. They will have been elected by their respective communities to represent them at this great congress, therefore whatsoever will be said and done will be expressive of the feeling and sentiment of the entire Negro race. Once upon a time two or three individuals would get together and map out a program for the entire Negro race and hold themselves up as leaders of the people, but today the people have taken their affairs into their own hands and they are determined that no one shall represent them except they themselves have the power by the common franchise. All roads will indeed lead to New York City on August 1, because the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America, as well as the millions of Negroes in the nearby countries, are interested to the point of a large number of them wending their way toward the nation's greatest metropolis on the 1st of August. On the opening night, at the 71st Regiment Armory in New York City, the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the spokesman of the four hundred million Negroes of the world will declare the policy of the race, and it is expected that a new world attitude will be assumed immediately after. The convention will be made up of men representative of all walks of life. Fifteen thousand Negro preachers will form part of the assembly, as well as thousands of lawyers, doctors and other professional men. We will also have a large representation from the commercial, industrial and laboring All Roads from the Four Corners of the 31st of August, 1922.

Governments Interested in Convention Already some of the governments invited to take part in the convention have signified their intention of sending their representatives. Among the first to do so were the governments of Abyssinia and Guatemala. The Negro people are no longer dependent upon the good will of other races for leadership, but we now find ourselves in the position of being able to present to the world statesmen as able as those of any other race and nation. This Third Annual International Convention will, I feel sure, measure up in legislative accomplishments with the parliaments, senates and congresses of any other people. One of the grand features of the convention will be the court reception of his highness the potentate with whom will be associated his highness the supreme deputy. The two dignitaries of the Universal Negro Improvement Association arrived in America a few days ago from Africa. It is expected that a large number of ladies and gentlemen of the race will be presented at the court. It has also been decided to honor several distinguished members of the race on the occasion. The new duchies to be created in Africa will be distributed among some of the most able and loyal members of the race who have done exemplary work in the cause of Africa's redemption. The distribution of honors among distinguished Negroes will include worthy members of the race from America, Canada, Africa, the West Indies and from Central America. It is expected that at the very first sitting of the convention, the delegation to visit Europe to present the claims of the race at the next session of the assembly of the League of Nations will be elected. All Negroes are reminded that it is their duty to give their moral and financial support to the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time. The work to be accomplished by the organization is tremendous and calls for a large outlay of money. This can only be gotten through the generous contribution given by each and everyone. You can help this work by sending in your $1, $2, $5, $10, $50, $100 to the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. NEW YORK, July 25, 1922. P. S.—All Divisions and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are again reminded that it is incumbent upon them to become financial with the Parent Body before the 1st of August. All Secretaries are further advised to send in their last monthly report immediately so as to enable the Secretary-General to make the proper financial report to the Convention. Money is needed more than ever to carry on the work of the Organization, and each Division, Chapter and Branch is requested to do its duty. By each Division carrying out its constitutional obligation to the Parent Body, we will be placed in a better position at headquarters to put through the program that has been placed in our charges United States of America, from the 1st to the Convention and Be Among the Living. PARK AVE. and 34th ST.; at 8 P.M. Aug. 1; Kelly Miller Declares Editor of "Messenger" Misrepresents His "Separate Schools" Attitude 2 1. By KELLY MILLER I notice that the Messenger is very much excited over my alleged attitude on mixed or separate schools in the North. The last issue of this interesting magazine contained as its feature article, "Kelly Miller's Mistake." It is announced that the discussion will be continued in the next issue. The infallible editors of the Messenger are famous seizing in the stakes made by others. Their own mistakes, if they have any, so far, have not been so widely exploited I was surprised to note that the coeditor was wanting in his usual scholarly research and accuracy. He derived his information through the refracting medium of a Chicago weekly instead of from the original source which was easily available to him. Last October I contributed to the Educational Review an article on "The Education of the Negro in the North," which, it seems, has just come to the belated attention of the Messenger by a devious and round about route. In this article I did not advocate separate schools, but merely raised the question of the relative inspirational appeal of the two modes of tuition. I have given long study and wide observation to this question and am still devoting careful thought to it. But I have never at any time or place, by utterance or inference expressed belief in the principle of separate schools. in the North or in the South Neither Christianity nor democracy can contemplate the separation. The school is much more ethical than the church, and much more democratic than the State. When our oldest university suggests discrimination against students on account of race, a hue and cry is raised from all over the nation. But both church and State make race distinction with impunity. The school is the one place which should be kept free from all forms of prejudice. It is useless for the learned editor of the Messenger to display his erudition in two labored essays to convict me of a sentiment which I never held. I do not believe in separate schools, separate churohes or separate care. I may be forced to receive them, but I never willingly accept them. I always protest in thought even when from prudence I acquiesce in action. But as I have studied Negro education in the South and in the North, and have watched the workings of the two types of instruction, the comparative effect upon the Negro child inevitably forced itself upon my attention. I might stop here to say, in passing, that so far as the Negro is concerned, public schools in the proper sense of the term do not exist anywhere in the United States. The so-called mixed schools are white schools which the Negro pupil is permitted to attend as a tolerated recipient, but the Negro is not a co-equal factor, or even a proportional factor in contributing to or deriving from the system the desired influence and power. In a great city like Pittsburgh, where the managers and teachers are all white, and more or less actuated with the hauteur of racial attitude, the Negro pupil cannot feel that he is receiving the full force and inspiration of public instruction. and inspiration of untrained spirit. Even in places where colored teachers are employed they are almost always young women in the lower grades who impress no directive influence, and are confined to the narrow lines of specified instruction. The whole race was delighted to see Miss Maria Bolden, of Cambridge, function efficiently and industrially as an eighth-grade principal in this famous college town. But she represents both a salutary and solitary exception which the most anguine scarcely hopes to see duplicated in his day. The Negro pupil in the North has not in the past and is not now deriving from the public schools the full benefit which they should impart. There are one and a half million Negroes in the North, whose children are in touch with the best school facilities and advantages which our civilization affords. Who is bold enough to say that they impart to the Negro child all that can be desired? Let us throw into comparison the schools of Washington under Negro supervision and those of Northern cities, where the Negro has no directive say. Washington is surpassed in Negro population by New York and Philadelphia and equalled by that of Chicago. And yet the national capital has more Negro pupils on the secondary level of instruction than these three cities combined. The inspirational effect of a system can be fairly gauged by the number of pupils stimulated to pursue higher courses of study. I venture the statement that As a pleasant surprise not only for the Latin Americans who reside in this city, but also for the benefit of the Magellan and South-American delegates, they will represent their respective countries as the Third International Conference of the Negro People of the World, which is coming August, 19. PORTO RICO AGAIN UNDER THE COLORS OF THE RED, THE BLACK AND THE GREEN Mass Meeting Held at the Municipal Theatre, San Juan, P. R.—His Excellency Hon. John Sidney de Bourg Enrolled Many Members Washington high schools have sent more colored students to Harvard than Boston, more to Columbia than New York city, more to the University of Pennsylvania than Philadelphia, and more to the University of Chicago than Chicago. There are three colored female doctors of philosophy all of whom are products of the Washington public school. When we consider that a large number of high school graduates each year enter the Normal School to prepare for teaching while scores of them enter Howard University the significance of the system begins to dawn upon us. The Washington colored schools have been the greatest intellectual stimulus in the life of the race so far as public instruction is concerned. What I have said of Washington is true in a degree of Baltimore, St Louis, Louisville Kansas City, and other cities where colored youth are being brought under the inspiration of Negro tuition. I do not know of a single city where white instruction of Negro youth is producing like stimulative effect. Separate schools have their disadvantages which can be easily pointed out. But does not the Negro contingent in so called public schools also labor under serious handicap? In the article in question, I merely called attention to relativity of advantages and disadvantages which no educator can fail to notice. He that hath eyes to see let him see REV. WEBB LECTURES BEFORE BALTIMORE U. N. L. A. At the U N I A Liberty Hall, Baltimore, Md., on Pennsylvania avenue and Mosher street, Rev James M. Webb of Chicago is closing up a series of sermons in pictures of the black man's part in the Bible and also U N I A officers' pictures on the screen. Rev Webb closes his ser's Sunday night, July 30, on his famous subject, The Black Man Will Be The Coming Universal King" This subject will be proven by biblical history which is out of Rev Webb's latest book. Meet Rev. Webb at the convention after July 20. PORTO RICO AGAIN U OF THE RED, THE B Mass Meeting Held at the M P. R.—His Excellency He Enrolled Ma By JOSE MARTINEZ SAN JUAN, P. R., July 11—After a disappointment the very day of the meeting at the Casino Hijos de Borinquen, a hall belonging to Negroes, a large audience went to hear his Excellency Hon. John Sidney de Bourg in the Municipal Theatre. Division No. 45 of San Juan has come again to life through the efforts of its new president, Senor Jaime A. Bishop, and its old, loyal members. On the platform were his Excellency John Sidney de Bourg. Senor Jaime A. Bishop, president. Senor Conrado Rosario, general secretary; Senor Jose Blasianzo, first vice-president; Mr. John Mathawe, financial secretary, and Mr. Jose Milla, second vice-president. The opening ode was sung, followed by prayer. Senor Jaime A. Bishop was the first speaker. In a clear and forceful manner he addressed the audience in Spanish, explaining the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. He said that the two main reasons for the delay of his countrymen in enrolling under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green were, first, the election of ignorant and selfish officers in the division, and second, the foolish conception of many Porto Rican Negroes in thinking that they are not Negroes. As to the first, he said we have cleaned house, and the new officers must be self-sacrificing or quit their post. As to the second, the fact must be faced that it is not an easy job to take from the mind of our people in one or two years the idea that the word Negro means inferiority, when we consider that for more than three hundred years the white people have beaten that belief into our brains. In my opinion it will take some years of Garveyism to reach our destination. The next speaker was Senior Conrado Rosario, our general secretary. He spoke to the audience in Spanish, and received, much applause for his forceful and virile remarks. He explained the PRESENT CUBA AT IONAL CONVENTION 160th street, is a young man with great determination and sincerity. He dedicates his valuable time to the study of the racial problems, which not only affect the Latin-American republic, but the United States of America as well. His last book, "The Color Question in the Two Americas," reveals his knowledge in this technical matter. The portaking of Dr. Ruis Scares in the convention this coming August adds the interesting lecture will undoubtedly be a colorful note. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 REV. R. H. WALKER RETURNS FROM WESTERN LECTURE TOUR—COUNTERACTED ATTEMPT OF MESSENGER EDITOR TO DISCREDIT THE U. N. I. A. Rev. Walker Says Editor Owens Informed Him That Negro Preachers Were a Hindrance and Then Soft Soaps Them and Goes in Their Churches to Lecture Rev R H Walker has returned to New York from a lecture and evangelistic tour which stretched from New York to Florida to California and back again to New York. In Washington California Minnesota and Illinois Rev Walker blocked the attempt of Chandler Owens, one of the editors of the Messenger to discredit Marcus Garvey and the U N I A Rev Walker in Seattle Wash and Chicago. Ill informed his audiences, who at first were captivated by the sophistry of Editor Owens, that the Negro had more to hope for from the program of Marcus Garvey than from the program of an editor who only issues his magazine once in a while. Rev Walker addressed a large crowd in a Methodist church in Vancouver, B C and commended the work and possibilities of the U N I A. Rev Walker says that Chandler Owens knocked nearly every prominent Negro from Booker T Washington down to Major Moten He. Chandler Owens, who has no constructive program, sat in judgment upon nearly every Negro who has attempted to do anything during the past thirty years. Although Chandler Owens has criticized the Negro clergy personally to Rev Walker, yet he had the nerve to assume a plausible man, disguising his hostility to the churches in order to get into them to lecture. Rev Walker obligations of the members to the association and the benefits to be obtained by being a member. He said that the Negroes have been living here under the impression that Porto Rico was a paradise for Negroes because the white people greeted them with a salute and a smile. This idea may have satisfied the old Negroes, but the new Negroes want to see the race progress in education, in industry, in commerce and in every avenue of human activity and to live under our hag. The next speaker was Mr John Mathews, our financial secretary, a natural born orator, who was cheered and applauded by the audience. He said, among other things, that he does not understand why many Porto Rican Negroes say that they are satisfied with their condition, unless it is impossible for them to see beyond their own noses. He said that, in the many years he has been in Porto Rico he has seen no Negro enterprises, no Negro business places and no Negroes working even as clerks in any of the many stores in the island, and that the only time he has ever seen a group of Negroes receive recognition was during the World War, when many of the best trained young Negroes were made officers in the army that was to face German guns in France. Today, however, if any of those former officers desires to be even a simple private in the Porto Rican army his color will deprive him of the chance. The last speaker was our leader, his Excellency Hon. John Sidney de Bourg, who in a masterly way held the audience spellbound. He took for his subject, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard, and learn to be wise." He impressed upon the audience the necessity and the duty of the Porto Rican Negroes co-operating in the work of the U. N. I. A., the largest Negro movement in the world today. He made a detailed explanation of the case of Santo Domingo, where the divisions of the association were closed by the Santo Domingo and military governments and many of the members failed. As a result of his endeavors, however, all the divisions were in operation before he left, the island, the members of the association having been discharged from jail, and Santo Domingo is again a safe place for the members of the U. N. I. A. He also described the condition of the Porto Rican Negroes with a familiarity of one who had lived there for many years. He drew a picture of the ill afflicting the Negroes of the race in Porto Rico and suggested remedies for their cure. His Encoullency's speech was so impressive that when he had finished speaking many proceeded to the rostrum for the honor of shaking his hand and to become members of the organisation. A petition asking that the German possessions in Africa be turned over to the Negro race for development as a national home-land for the race has been sent to the Council of the League of Nations by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, both of No. 56 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street. Accompanying the petition a cablegram was sent to Viscount lahit in London, by Marcus Garvey, head of the two organizations, stating that the Negro race is capable and anxious of governing itself warms Negro preachers throughout America to keep Chandler Owens, who says Negro preachers are hindrance out of their pupils. Rev Walker is a twentieth century preacher with broad ideals and advises the Negro to stick by the Garvey movement. He says that Marcus Garvey has the only solution which will solve the Negro problem WHITE WOMAN INDORSES U. N. I. A. STAND Asks Garvey to Also Join in Ireland's Fight The following letter from Florence Priscilla Hasselton, a white woman, addressed to Hon. Marcus Garvey, is self-explanatory. New York July 18, 1922 Mr Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa Liberty Hall, Harlem, New York City Dear Sir I read your wonderful speech of July 9 and wish to congratulate you and to say that the colored race has turned out to be one of the greatest examples of perseverance and success the world has ever seen. Just think of the few thousands brought here from Africa before the United States existed, who, in spite of hardship and suffering, grew into the magnificent group numbering 15,000,000 Then think of the brave white men that laid down their lives that their colored brothers might have equal liberty, and you will see that your race is blessed by the great Providence, and the hardships were the blessing in disguise. The colored race has learned everything civilization can teach it, and if you go back to Africa 15,000,000 strong you would no doubt soon rule the whole African continent. Then in your greatness remember that the majority of white men did not want you to be downtridden, and they died to prove it, so always keep a warm spot in your heats for the U. S. A. Perhaps some day you will help poor Ireland to be free. FLORENCE PRISCILLA HAZELTON FLORENCE PRISCILLA HAZELTON THE COLOR QUESTION IN THE TWO AMERICAS BY DR. BERNADO RUIZ SAUREZ Translation by John Crosby Gordon I have been favored by the author with an autographed copy of this book, which is a philosophical discussion of the color question in the two Americas by a man of color, born, reared and educated in a Spanish-speaking country, where the conditions affecting the social, economic, industrial and political life of the black and colored peoples are different from those obtaining in the United States of North America. It is therefore extremely difficult for a foreigner writing of conditions in the United States of America always to give a true perspective of the conditions obtaining in the country of his adoption, for there are always points of difference which will not harmonize with those with which he is most familiar and which, because of this cutly, raise in his mind certain doubts as to the possibility of there ever arising a complete understanding of the viewpoints between the peoples of the two sections. The color question in the United States of America and that of Central and South America is as different as water is from wine. In America there is a feeble attempt to differentiate between the blacks and our mulattoes by the latter group, but the white man insists that the blacks and mulattoes are one and the same people. Not so in Cuba, the West Indies and other Spanish-speaking countries, where the line of cleavage is closely drawn and the mulattoes are to all intents and purposes white men, made so by a law of custom going back to the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. The color question is one of the most vexed and aggravating of modern times, and those who are most affected by it continue to insist that they are not a part of the problem which Dr. Saures, with the best of intentions, is seeking to solve by plausible argument and much cogency of reasoning which does not change the point of view of those whom they are most anxious to convince that it can be solved by appeal to reason. The Ethiopian cannot change his skin. He may bleach it by artificial means, but he will still be an Ethiopian. The book is well written and the author shows that he is sincere in all that he has said, but the fact still remains that we of the Negro and Negroid race are of one common stock and that our destiny is co-ordinate and cannot be otherwise in the two Americas while the white race continues to give direction to the thought and policies which are to govern and control in the universe. ASSAILS PROPAGANDA OF BRITAIN IN UNITED STATES Mr. Peter V. Fernandes, a Veteran Soldier of Boston, Writes Strong Letter to Boston Telegram on British Propaganda, Which It Publishes with Striking Headlines Editor of the Boston Telegram As a patriot and a veteran I want to say I have love for law and order, respect for constituted authority, when the constituted authority is given by a referendum and not by a gang of grafters who misrepresent their constituents. Quite often this is so on Beacon Hill, Boston Mass. Representatives and Benitons do not live up to their panka and pia formations, they do not live up to the promises they made before election. It is the same in Washington D.C. This is no longer a country by the people and for the people. The favored money classes, who can grouse the palms of the crooked politicians, judges, ex-presidents, or anyone else in authority can have any law passed. Traitors to the country ought to be imputed and put to death or put out of the country. No man can serve two masters. There is a gang of so-called American politicians who are not patrons of America, but instead are a lot of santimonious hypocrites, a lot of paid tools of Great Britain in every State, and quite a few are in Washington today doing their heat to have a resurrection of the League of Nations. This was settled by a referee dum. The people don't want it and it is a dead issue. The President or Congress cannot change it, but Great Britain, by fair or foul means, will buy up those false patriots in office if she can Great Britain warts the United States in the league. What for? To rob and cheat the United States, that is all. If Great Britain cannot pay the United States her war debt (a suggestion) why don't Great Britain give the United States the Bahamas, Bermuda, B W I, Jamaica, B W I, W and all the nearest points of the West Indies that Great Britain owns in part payment? But oh, no, she wants to surround the United States and beat the United States out of the debt by fair or foul means, as she trying to do. I believe in treating your enemies with a long spoon. Great Britain has never been, and is not now, a friend of the United States. The Alabama claim another underhanded intrigue, is enough to tell true patriots she is not. The majority of Englishmen are born with a grazing all-fair spirit and a covetous nature. They want all they see. They all feel that they are Empire builders. For example, India Egypt, the Boer Republic in Africa, and Africa in general, now it is poor defenseless China and Ireland for four years, under this tyrannical mouser. The majority of English royalty, and the large majority of Englishmen remind me of a lot of parasites and vampires, who are sucking the lifeblood of the poor defenseless nations and this cowardly nation, Great Britain, is sure to keep a sharp lookout and keep the slaves under her flag from getting any ammunition to fight back with, to gain their liberty and independence. She also encauses all news from getting out of her possession. If it is deter mental to her interest, Great Britain has fooled the world in agen past, but the world is waking up to her previous diplomatic, that has always been full of intrigue, and in my opinion and belief she cannot fool the world for yours to come. I won't trust the majority of Englishmen in Hell, chances are very small of finding many of them in Heaven. My travels and observations have given me my opinions and beliefs of the majority I have met. They really believe God Almighty made them, and the Devil did the rest. The majority of Englishmen brag that their superior knowledge of things in general is greater. In my opinion they are superior to some American politicians, for quite often they make fools of those in Washington, D. C. When gold was discovered in the republic of Venezuela the English claimed it was in their territory, and were about to 'tump on that little republic for something they had that Great Britain wanted President Cleveland told John Bull 'to keep his hands off English propaganda is to work in the United States to change its history, the latest is. President Lincoln started the Civil War Great Britain would like to divide the United States if it is possible, by fair or foul means. She has India divided against herself; she has Ireland divided against herself, and through her sly, artful intrigues, she remains master of the situation Wake up, patrons of America, and throw out of office all traitors, no matter if they are Presidents or ex-Presidents, or Chief Justices of the Supreme Court A traitor is a traitor. The higher the office the more dangerous he or she is to the cause they are paid to betray Great Britain believes in slavery, and she's carrying it on now in her possessions, and I can prove my statements. She brings the poor people from East Indies (India) to the West Indies, and binds on sugar plantations for a number of years. If this is not slavery, what is it? Here it is in a nutshell. No matter what Great Britain may say or do against the poor defenseless colored races of the world the cowardly rest of the world looks on and allows it. Englishmen in India are always right. English people wrong. Natives of India, Egypt, Africa, West Indies and Ireland, they are always wrong, and the tyrannical English Government right. This is a sanctimonious hypocritical world. Where does Christianity come? Brotherly love is the only Christianity, for one God made us all; all discrimination is wrong; a colored man 1 or woman with education and other requirements should get an equal chance with anyone else. They were not created to be slaves all their lives. I am a white man and I only wish I had a small part of the education I have seen in quite a few of my colored brothers. May God bless America and all those who are being tranformed by a lot of impostors. PETER A. FERNANDES P.S. This is an answer to English propaganda accusing Lincoln of startling the Civil War A DOCTOR, PLEASE, FOR A. PHILLIP RAN- DOLPH! HE'S OFF A DOCTOR, PLEASE, FOR A. PHILLIP RAN- DOLPH! HE'S OFF BY ROBERT L. POSTON On Sunday afternoon, July 16, I stopped in at Lafayette Hall to hear a lecture by A Philip Randolph upon the subject, "The Collapse of Negro Leadership." B for the speaker collapsed I was able to get this. Some weeks ago Mr. Garvey through the columns of The Negro World, spoke of two archipulques—Randolph and Owen. It was concluded even by the friends of these men that Mr. Garvey had told the truth about them as no one was prepared to show that other Randolph or Owen had ever contributed anything at all to the advancement of the Negro in this country nor was there anyone who would presume to say that these gentlemen would live one week longer were it not for the charity of white organizations whose causes they espouse. Smarting under the stinging criticism which Mr. Garvey gave leaders of his kind, Randolph on Sunday afternoon July 16 at Lafayette Hall sought to justify the existence of leaders of his air and at the same time to come back at Mr. Garvey for warning the public against young men who have no visible means of support. Well, sir the whole thing was amusing. The entire seating capacity of the hall, which seats about 75 persons was taken mostly by the fellows of Randolph and town who had come to hear Randolph answer Mr. Garvey. For exactly one hour and twenty three minutes he spoke about the powers of socialism and of the dangers of Garveyism. But the real fun did not come until he tried to show how Mr. Garvey had talked with the Ku Klux Klan. When a man in the audience asked him whether he had read the speech of Mr. Garvey which he presumed to be quoting from to support his alliance contention he was as silent as a clam. But what does it matter whether leaders of this class have facts or not? Why should he trouble himself to hear or to read a speech of Mr. Garvey? If he wanted to quote from it? This is not the important thing. The important thing is to get Mr. Garvey in "Dutch" at all cost, and without regard to facts Randolph proceeded to deliver one of the most anti-foreign and anti-everything else that meant for the success of the Negro species imaginable. As long as he continued to lambaste Mr. Garvey that part of the 75 persons present which constituted his followers was pleased, but when he proceeded to say that he is going to destroy the Garvey movement, the joke became too great even for his own followers to stand. A bit of humor was added to the situation when a gentleman apparently in all seriousness got up and said, "Mr Randolph, I don't think you should destroy the Garvey movement." A. Phillip Randolph destroying the Garvey movement! What looks some men are. Here is a man hardly able to make his bread who could not corral a hundred men to follow him around a city block, talking about destroying the Garvey movement, a world-wide organization whose grip upon the hearts of the people is permanent. Tell Randolph, somebody AGENTS. PLEASE READ Please remember that the paper is placed in the mails on the Tuesday of each week.

FERRIS SUGGESTED FOR CONGRESS To Seek Congressional Seat in Revolt Against Party Leaders Leaders of Negro voters! the revolt against Republican party management in several Harlem districts at a meeting last night at the United Civic League, 184 West 135th street, announced that a Negro candidate would be chosen to contest the renomination of Martin C. Ansorge, representative in the Twenty-first Congressional District. William H. Ferris, who is a Yale graduate and editor of The Negro World, was one of several suggested as a candidate. It was said also that a contest would be waged against Robert B. Conklin a Deputy Attorney General—New York Times, July 18 who has the time or the heart that there once lived a man by the name of Cyril Bogga who had the same foolish notion in his head but just before he died in public stream he was made to fully realize that Negroes will no longer be trained with.

LIBRARY NOTES Library Work with Negroes Discussed at the Annual Meeting of the Amer- ican Library Association Miss Rose has just returned from the annual conference of the American Library Association, held this year in Detroit Mish. An interesting feature of this conference was a round table on work with Negroes, at which Miss Rose provided. It is the custom of the A. L. A. to form sections or round tables of those interested in certain phases of library work for the discussion of their particular work and problems. Much among others are the section of children a librarians, section of school librarians, round table on work with the foreign-born, and now the round table on work with Negroes. Papers were read and discussion held on such topics as the support and control of libraries for the Negro, training of Negro librarians, the opportunities for the trained Negro to enter the library field, and the establishment of so-called "colored libraries" or "colored branches" of large city library systems. The wide differences of method and policy in North and South were brought out, some of the places represented being Louisville, Ky. Indianapolis, Ind. Chicago Ill. Knoxville, Tenn. Cincinnati, Ohio. Birmingham, Ala. and New York city. Mr Blue, chief of the cooried department of the Louisville Public Library, read a papay on Louisville (Public) Library) work in training colored librarians for Southern libraries. Miss Watson, of the New York Public Library, for purposes of this discussion had sent out a questionnaire to the lending libraries of the county) regarding their practice on the above points. In the course of this questionnaire it developed that next year a Negro will enter the library school of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and one will also be enrolled in our own library school of the New York Public Library. It was voted to hold a similar round table at next year's conference of the American Library Association "111" cigarettes They are GOOD! 10¢ Buy this Cigarette and Save Money --- the paper is placed in the mails tek.

Address pro World, 54-56 West 135th NEGRO WORLD CONVENTION MES-SAGE TO ALL NEW JERSEY DIVISIONS While this message is intended especially for the officers and members of the various divisions in this State, I am praying that it might be a means of inspiration to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the entire world over and helpful to other commissioners. Trying as is the time of all who seek to do good from the time and example of Christ, I feel now more convinced than ever that the spirit of universal liberation for Negroes and the establishing of a government in Africa are gradually but surely taking deep root in the breast of our people everywhere, judging, as I must, from New Jersey. It is claimed that Jersey is the hardest place as a State in its entirety to get the Negroes looking upwards. Many and varied are the reasons, some of which but for time and space I would quote. This article is meant to summarize my experiences and decision from December 7 to the present date. But for few exceptions, my first second and in some instances third visit to divisions. I was thought to be arrogant and bossy because it was understood by all that with me the U N I A was not a plaything but an organization that intended to work out the destiny of the black man, even though individuals die in our struggle for its attainment. So long as this world lasts so long we have dishonest and unscrupulous men among us. By dishonest I do not only mean men who steal money but I claim that any man who because of his desire for a big name or insular political prominence will work to the disadvantage of a race of people pressed to the walls as we are is dishonest in his purpose and has not a soul. Buffs and rebuffs have been met and will be met if these men think that such will cause you to relent or give up. I find that if you refuse to cover if despite opposition and odds you determine to stink truth and justice will eventually triumph over wrong and chilcanyer I have found that men some of them with and some without the proper authority to represent us, have done more harm than good if any goods, and magnified the general public as to the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I want to assure all who read this that I speak the truth when I say that after this third international convention of Negroes the black man the world over shall know whether he must live or die. We are going to New York—August 1 to 21 in this year of our Lord. 1922 not to look for jobs, not to look for friends, but to so legislate that 400-000 000 Negroes will not be offered a broken straw hat, for the promised golden crown nor mock for democracy, but that we may take our place in the sun of human progress of achievements as other races as nations, and that an equal rather than a second place Jersey has shown to me by what it is now compared to what it was that this is possible when we bring Negroes together from the four corners of the world. When men and women go through rain, hall sleet and snow having their comfortable homes six four and two mimes away and through dense forests (as is the case with the Millinay division) to seek after the truth such as is given by and through this great organization. I am compelled to think, to say this movement is by man but of God. Fellow citizens of Africa we are at the crossroad of our existence and to look back to is die. Shell we look back and die or go forward and renew the ancient glories of Ethiopia. I say go forward and conquer God will help only those who help themselves. Let us elect from every division the man or woman who has the best brains and who has put away Uriah Tomism (for ours will be a fight Uriah free ourselves) Send to the convention only such delegates as can see the possibilities of a Free Africa, a Negro Race Redeemed in divisions that are now preparing for my next visit let every Negro in and around the community turn out and bring some one else, as Sol Butler One of America's Greatest Athletes Recommends Dr. Siegert's ANGOSTURA BITTERS Read What He Says: Gentleman: Dr. Siegler's Angostura Bitters is a winner every time.

CAIRO, July 12—The British Government, through General Lord Allenby, High Commissioner, addressed a strong note to the Egyptian Government. This note voices the British Government's alarm at the frequent recurrence of outrages upon British officials, officers and soldiers, and its regret at the failure of the Egyptian Government to punish the criminals. It also gives warning that if the outrages continue the British Government will be compelled to reconsider its attitude toward Egypt. There is no mistaking what this note means. It is a warning that if Egypt is unable to protect the subjects of foreign powers Great Britain will intervene to insure that protection at the cost to Egypt of disappointed political ambitions. I have a message for one, for all, on my last visit before going to the convention. In conclusion let me say take fresh courage, get new hope. You have done well in the past and I thank you in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I desire that you keep it up and do better. Let Orange. Asbury Park, Montclair and Milnay be your example. I have mentioned these branches not so much because of what they have done, not because they have done more than some of the others but because of the conditions under which they have done what they have. With my best wishes HENRY HODGE Commissioner for New Jersey THE NEGRO SEEKING HIS PLACE IN THE SUN By SIR GEORGE TOBIAS8 If anyone should stop long enough to think seriously of the world in which we live, he would readily see that the turmoil confusion and dissatisfaction that exist today are due solely to men a woeful inability to comprehend themselves. Not more than four years ago Europe was engaged in a terrible conflict that shook the very foundation of our present-day civilization. In that conflict every nation was called upon to play its part, and today we are breathing a free atmosphere under a badly patched-up peace a peace that is boiling more furiously than it did even prior to the year 1914. What is it that is causing this unrest? The white statesmen of the world attribute the cause to "an insidious propaganda among disaffected bodies" and have laid the cause there. But every well-thinking Negro knows that the cause is much deeper and more serious than the average statesman realizes, for there are four hundred million sons and daughters of Africa who are biasing a way to national independence while a tottering world looks on. A prejudice too long maintained is about to fall and by its sheer weight it will crumble to pieces, for history constantly repeats itself. The rising of the Negro of today has been foretold in the Bible, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the nucleus around which the sons or daughters of Ethiopia are gathering and with their Moses will be led, as the children of Israel were led, into the promised land. Therefore, it is a fight that is to be continued until a Negro nation is fully established, for we have millions of black men trained in the art of modern warfare and God knows how black men can fight. A better sold or never never was, for, to quote the Rev John R Beard in "The Life of Toussaint L'Ouverture". No, God cannot, in this lower world, visit a purer soul, envied by the Spaniards, feared by the English, dreaded by the French hated by the planters and reverenced by his fellow-countrymen "Toussaint L'Ouverture" felt that a crisis had come in his public life which required the calmest consideration and the soundest judgment. Hard though the struggle seems, there can be no slackening of effort, for victory comes only to those who persist. Russia with her subjugated millions was able to put the Czar into an eternal sleep; Ireland after centuries of agitation has become a Free State; Egypt through sacrifices is breathing the air of national independence; India is making it so hot for England that the Prince of Wales had "a warm reception" on his arrival there. And so it will be when the Negro is in readiness, he will not only be a free man, but will be able to take his place among other nations of the world, directing the affairs of his own race without the advices and consent of an alien people. Africa, the land of our fathers, The richest of all there is on earth. White nations have pillaged and brushed thee. Thy children were sold into slavery, In foreign lands to die. Fighting the white man's battle, But none to hear our cry. Two millions of us have been fighting "Democracy's" cause to protect, But we have found our salvation, As our Negro chief we elect. Africa's sons shall be marshalled, And preparing for battles we'll be. Marching to war and to victory, To make dear old Africa free. And when the battle is over, Our fatherland shall be free, Sons of Ethiopia shall gather, And a mighty nation we'll be. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 Shows Again This Week Shriners of Medina Temple No. 19 Were Guests at the Opening Performance By Lubrie The invincible Billy King with a well trained and well balanced cast opened at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday, July 17. in a laugh-provoking comedy entitled "Moonshine." Billy King, as usual, won favor on the jump with his capacity house which greeted him. This comedy was designed for the specific purpose of chasing away blues and getting the laugh, and this I. does to the ninth degree Supporting Billy King are Marshall Rogera, Baby Cox, dessie Brown and others. Rogera, who plays the part of Silas Jenkins, carries on his hip a line of stuff which would set in the shade the delicatessen brand sold in Harlem. Just to look at Marshall means to double up in laughter, for the man is a scream. Bessie Brown was pleasing in her musical number and she was at her best as Lawyer Gittem in the court scene of the second act. Any woman having any ambition of being a lawyer should hear Bessie Brown plead to get inspiration. Baby Cox is a well trained and refined little performer who makes everybody fall in love with her whether she is singing, dancing or just looking at you. Special mention must be made of the singing of Margarette Scott and the specialty act of Hightowers and Jones. As a mark of appreciation of Brother King, Shriners representing the Medina Temple No 19, turned out in a body, and Billy King mindful of the presence of his guests, injected a word or so in his lines which made the Shriners like it, it is safe to say that if Billy King keeps up this class of performance with which he opened at the Lafayette on Monday night Harlem will be pleased to pack the Lafayette for another month. There were several complaints made during the performance on Monday night, July 17, on account of persons in the gallery becoming a little too expressive. It is difficult for anyone to keep from laughing when Billy King appears on the stage, yet we can at times make our enthusiasm so expressive that it borders on vulgarity. The management would help matters considerably if they would see that this wave of enthusiasm is not carried too far. Billy King is appearing again at the Lafayette this week, and those who have not seen this laugh-provoking comedy should avail themselves of the opportunity. Every Sunday at the Lafayette there is a big time vaudeville and feature pictures.

COLONIAL TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT In order not to hold up pedestrian and vehicular traffic at certain points in the city when stunting is being done, it has been learned that under consideration at present is the question of the removal of the workshop to a point at or near Pn.

With the acquirement of Booker's cooperage and the removal of the workshop angle accommodation will be available for storage of a large quantity of freight, so that steamers can go alongside the wharf and load. THE WARRIOR The late Dinuzulu was the son of Ceteuyo, King of Zululand, whose imps defeated the English at the battle of Ulandi in the Zulu war which took place in the 70s. Ceteuyo's imps, having descended upon the 45th Regiment commander, were armed with rude spears and cowhide shields, whereas the English Regiment were armed with Bryder rifles and other modern appearances of European warfare. Ceteuyo was subsequently captured after the defeat of the Zulus and brought a prisoner to England. He was afterwards allowed to return to his own people under military supervision. Dinuzulu, after his arrival at marts estate, was regarded by the British as the man who had ever encountered, was finally broken by the insidious gin-bottle and from being the most powerful they are now almost the most decadent of the South African tribes. A well-known English historical writer described in the 1920s years ago that the Zulus were the real descendants of the ancient Egyptians. "GUARIONEX" BRINGS IN HISTORY TO SUPPORT GARVEY'S STAND We have read George Harris's article in the New York World against Marcus Garvey, in which he lays emphatic strictures against him because he was able to meet the wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and obtain his views and opinion on the eternal question regarding the Negroes, thus putting one over the other fellows whose activities lay within "culling" from the other papers. We admire the courage of this man boarding the lion in its own Ku Klux Klan temple of peculiar and illegal practices, for within the nation if this organisation which caused untold agony and suffering is in itself illegal, then it is up to the nation to put them out of business by due process of law. The colored people ought to have guts enough to bring these people into court in the State of New York and expose them. The trouble in many cases is that we have no desire to be united in any great effort toward seeking for ourselves adequate justice. We must admit that the interview by Mr. Garvey of the head of the Ku Klux Klan was a clever piece of business and gives us a clear and lucid understanding of what these people through their organization are doing and can do against us. We disagree with the irrespective and illogical desire of the alderman to bring into public gaze the birthplace of his antagonist and to state that he is an "interloper." What in the world has this to do with the question at issue? Few people in the United States can prove that they are of native parentage, yet our friend Harris should not be unmindful that Negroes came by the way of Barbados, skirting the, West Indies and the "unlikely" slaves were sold in the markets of Savannah and Charleston. Many brothers and sisters, cousins and nephews have been separated, some going to a planter in Trinidad and the other relatives sold in Savannah. Up to this day there is a similarity in the lingo between the Barbados cousin and the Georgia offspring.

By GUARIONEX his end. Garvey has a right to plead for Africa and there is enough historical precedent to support him in what he is doing. For fear that the editor may plead ignorance, it is well to remind him that at divers times emigration was fostered for Trinidad, Demerara and not least by the Colonization Society in many states, where fabulous sums were raised for the expatriation of the Negroes. The writer remembers having seen some of these fellows leaving the country some time during 1892. No one seemed to have paid any attention to the manner in which the money was thrown away; if anyone has any doubt let him examine the printed thirty-odd volumes of the society and see for himself in the matter. Here everybody cannot understand Garvey and they are hurling thunderbolts from mountain tops at Demerara bound by law. In those days the American Colonization Society worked for many years painting a rosette picture of the future of Africa and now comes Garvey and the people who should by all right give him an opportunity to be heard in his own behalf are the first to try and pound him to pieces. We believe that Liberia should have some American or other blood to bring sense into the head of those sensitive follows who have from time to time come over to teach us manners. In the early days many Negroes had gone to Liberia to help build her up but instead of helping the struggling nation, they resorted to the same nefarious practices which their masters had engaged in. It is said of President Roberts that he got a lucrative compensation from the ill-gotten sale of slaves. It is the proper time for someone to turn his attention to the wonderful opportunities which Africa offers to her descendants, to strive for some of the honey which Europeans are harnessing to their military baggage. These European war dogs are closing the gates of entrance to any and all Negroes for fear of the coming dawn when they will have to look elsewhere for a looting camp. If Alderman Harris can tell me that the Republic of Cuba, the Republic of Santo Domingo, and most parts of South America, even Ireland did not have their successes due to the determined spirit of perseverance and dogged determination to fight for a ONE! m of Hops successful blend, striate Dairy Malt grained field of the hops, no eden.

Thomas Dixon, Jr., in his "Leopard's Epota,' chapter VI puts in the mouth of the preacher the words that the most interesting student of color at Harvard was George Harris, "a real genius, and if he lives will shake the nation." I believe our own colored George Harris, a former student of Harvard, is not the one alluded to by Dixon, whose mother, the book claims, was the famous Eliza Harris, whose escape over the ice flows of the Ohio River made our heart palpitate with joy. But this reference is timely and should, at least, make our friend, the editor of the New York News, great in that he has lived up to what old foggy Thomas Dixon, Jr., said would happen that the George Harris, of Harvard, has shaken the nation with his attack on Marcus Garvey Hurrah. Hurrah. The cleverest news item done by a "colored editor" GARBAGE ODORS HARMFUL; HED SELL TO NEGROES Boarding House Inchanger at Avon, N. J., Afflicted Throat of Proofread T. C. Masteller, a proof reader in the New York Herald, is advertisement home at 210 West End avenue, Avon N. J., for sale to Negroes only. The advertisement was inserted in a newspaper by Mrs. Masteller. She said that her husband recently complained to the commissioners of Avon that he was greatly annoyed by odors from an incinerator used at the boarding house of Mrs. Jane Euston, which is at West End and Garfield streets, two doors from the Masteller home. He complained that his throat was affected, and explained that easy use of his voice was necessary to the proper performance of his duties on the Herald. The commissioners took no action because, they said, no complaints had been received against the incinerator. Mastellier then decided to try to sell the house to Negroes, according to his wife. "As long as the commissioners won't do anything in the matter we'll show what we've going to do," she said. "Let them have colored people there and see how they like that. I understand the whole community is going to take action against the incinerator." 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. THE FAITH OF THE NEGRO LIFE has its paradoxes and contradictions, its sunshine and its shadows. A thunderstorm suddenly comes up and mars a day outing. Many of the prizes of life which have been striven for for years are lost through a trivial accident of fortune or a slip of judgment. On the other hand, sometimes a terrific storm is succeeded by a rainbow and a beautiful sunset. And oftentimes recognition comes to a man or race or cause from unsuspected sources. This characteristic of human life was witnessed at Harvard University last month. One week the news flashed over the wires that Harvard was discriminating against the Jew and barring Negro students from freshman dormitories. The next week a graduate of the Harvard Divinity School delivered at the Harvard University commencement on June 22 as a commencement address one of the most enlightened piers for the Negro that we have seen in recent years. It shows that idealistic and reactionary forces are at work at-Harvard as in the rest of America and the world at the same time. The Faith of the American" was the title of the Harvard commencement address by Mordecai Wyatt Johnson. It was not merely an eloquent plea for the Negro, but an address characterized by historic knowledge, sociological grasp, psychological insight and illuminating wisdom. Its publication in the Nation will do the black man a world of good. The striking difference between Rev. Johnson's address and other addresses on the race question resides in the fact that he understands perfectly the Negro's psychic reaction to a depressing environment and realizes the reasonableness of it. Rev. Johnson begins his address by speaking of the Negro's faith in God, in the principles of democracy and in the righteous purpose of the Federal Government. He tells how the Negro's hopes and expectations, which were excited by the world's war, were suddenly dashed to the ground when "Southern newspapers began at once to tell the Negro soldiers that the war was over and the sooner they forgot it the better." Rev. Johnson divides the Negro into two radical and one conservative group. The smaller radical group sees the Negro's "salvation by alliance with the revolutionary labor movement of America and the world." The larger radical group (the U. N. I. A.), proposes laying "the foundations of a black empire, a black religion and a black culture." Rev. Johnson says of the conservative group: "The larger masses of the colored people do not belong to these more radical movements. They retain their belief in the Christian God, they love their country and hope to work out their salvation within its bounds. But they are completely disillusioned. They see themselves surrounded on every hand by a sentiment of antagonism which does not intend to be fair. * * * They see this antagonistic sentiment consolidated in the places of power in the former slaye States and growing by leaps and bounds in the North and West. They know that it is gradually reducing them to an economic, political and social caste. * * * They ask, in short, for public equality under the protection of the Federal Government. Their request is sustained by every sentiment of humanity and by every holy ideal for which this nation stands."

Johnson makes a plea for the black man which should cause those Americans who contend that "this is a white man's country," that in the words of the late Chief Justice Taney, "the Negro has no rights that the white man is bound to respect," to sit up and take notice. Rev. Johnson eloquently says "the Negro people of America have been with us here for three hundred years. They have cut our forests, tilled our fields, built our railroads, fought our battles, and in all of their trials until now they have manifested a simple faith, a grateful heart, a cheerful spirit and an individual loyalty to the nation that has been a thing of beauty to behold. Now they have come to the place where their faith can no longer feed on the bread of repression and violence. They ask for the bread of liberty, or public equality and public responsibility. It must not be denied them." Rev. Johnson closes his splendid plea by showing that America's treatment of the Negro is a challenge to Christianity. He asks: "Can the Christian religion bind this multi-colored world in bonds of brotherhood?" Coming at a time when the race question is justly regarded not only as an American but as a world problem, Rev. Johnson's address should make an impression upon all of those Caucasians who boast of the blessings of modern civilization, Christianity and democracy. There is something tragic when a strong man becomes weak, and there is something pathetic when a man is always weak and helpless and constantly appeals for aid. So it is with a race or nation. When the Negro and his friends bewail his helpless and forlorn condition we believe that they overlook the teachings of history. When it is recognized that the Negro is a man and as such subject to the influences which uplift or drag down other men, when it is recognized that his can modify his environment the same as other men, the atmosphere becomes more clarified and the sides become clearer. The law first assumed the same position in the world for two thousand years that the Nero occupies in the western hemisphere. He has made unwritten on the face of the earth...But by virtue of his financial status, he produces a few statutes, mathematical and scholarly of modern origin, giving his trees and buildings, he has made conquests in America, England, France, Germany and Russia. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1923 three of them countries in which he has faced considerable persecution. three of them countries in which he has faced considerable persecution. Brains, character, energy, physical stamina and wealth have been powerful forces in elevating men, races and nations who have lifted themselves in the past and they will be powerful forces to lift the black man's social, civic and political status, both in the western hemisphere and in his native habitat. LEGISLATING FOR THE NEGRO ONE of the basic errors committed by the political friends of the Negro at the time of his emancipation from slavery was that of creating in his mind the idea that the act of emancipation and the war amendments aid the passage of the civil rights bill which followed were in themselves sufficient to make him in all things the equal of the race that broke the shackles from him and gave him a sort of freedom which has been giving him trouble in one way or another ever since he received it. He has been having the greatest difficulty imaginable in making the mathematical axiom, "Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other," square with his notion as to what equality is and means, and when the acid test is applied to it it still leaves him in a quandary as to where "he is at" politically, socially and economically The jump from slavery to relative position with the enslaver is a quite difficult performance, and we know and have heard of no instance in all history where such a feat has been accomplished by a once subjugated race. It may be possible, but it will require much more time than the American Negro has had to make it tangible fact. The thoughtful and observant Negro who has studied the psychology of the situation which now confronts his race in this country is becoming more recorded to the fact that there is something radically wrong in the formula for the making of equal citizens out of a race which a little over sixty years ago were either all slaves, or if free were held to the condition of "strangers" and "sojourners" and "aliens." Equality is not obtained by gift, but by struggle. The Negro is now struggling and he is doing it most commendably to secure for himself and his posterity that equality which the law says he is entitled to. But he has yet a long way to go to attain the full measure of American citizenship and all the rights, privileges and benefits attaching thereto. He is now discovering, while pursuing the struggle for his full rights of citizenship, that there are shades and meanings to the constitutional guarantees made for his benefit which, when legally interpreted, do not mean what they seem on the surface, that they contain technical loop holes through which the essence of law has a habit of escaping when invoked in his behalf. The guarantee giving him citizenship and the right to use the ballot is nullified in certain sections by the denial of the voting franchise or, if he is permitted to vote, by the refusal to count his vote as cast. This constitutes a gross injustice to the "Sovereign" Negro voter in the disfranchising States and discovers to the observant among us a condition which, to say the least, is a sad commentary upon the efficiency and power of the Federal Constitution to secure to all citizens the full protection of the law. If, as Lincoln wisely said, "The union cannot endure half slave and half free," then by the same token neither can it endure when it recognizes two classes of citizens, according to one every right and benefit and withholding from the other the same rights and benefits and protection which are fully enjoyed by the former. There is something wrong either with the Negro's viewpoint in these matters or with the American Constitution. Which is it? THE MAKING OF A RACE I literary Editor whiled away an hour while waiting for a train by reading "The Making of a Race," a little pamphlet of sixteen pages by Sir John E Bruce, popularly known as Bruce Grit. We have never read a pamphlet that we enjoyed better. Considerable history, philosophy and common sense was packed in that pamphlet. Usually when a man of color writes on the race question he gets pessimistic and lugubrious and speaks of the hard lot of his race. At its best, life is not a perennial picnic and holiday, and the great mass of men and women who have lived upon this planet from the days of the cave man have found themselves facing a struggle. In the struggle for bread, for political and social recognition, power and fame, the fortunate ones who have had smooth sailing under cloudless skies have been few and far between. The Negro's condition differs not in kind but in degree from conditions that other races and nations have faced from time immemorial. Consequently, the value of Mr Bruce's essay rests upon the fact that he tells of the forces that will lift the Negro instead of grieving about his unfortunate condition. The home, useful knowledge and cooperation form the triumverate which Mr Bruce justly believes will be all powerful. The most inspiring page of the book is page three, where Mr Bruce tells of the achievement of the race. He says: "If you teach your children to honor the memory of Lincoln, the white President of this country, teach them also to honor that of Frederick Douglass, the black man who was largely instrumental in inducing Lincoln to draft the Emancipation Proclamation which gave freedom to 4,000,000 blacks. If you tell them of the battles of Saratoga, or New Orleans, or Fort Donelson, or Chickamauga, in which white men died to save this country, tell them also that black men fought at Saratoga, Bunker Hill; at New Orleans; at Milliken's Bend; at Forts Fisher and Pillow; and died like heroes at the crator to help free white men and black men. Tell them that 300,000 Negroes fought in the War of the Rebellion in 252 battles. If you tell them that a white man discovered the North Pole, let them know that a black man, Henson, was at his side and helped him to win the victory, and that another black man, Gustavus Vasso, a hundred years before, had gone on a similar expedition to the Pole. If you tell them of great American poets like Whittier, Bryant and Longfellow, link with their names the great Negro poets: Phyllis Wheatley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Sherry Whitman, Margetson, and so to the end of the chapter, match them with a Negro who has made his mark in the same line." We regard this as wholesome advice and see in Mr Bruce's essay an inspirational force. MARCUS GARVEY AND THE K. K. K. CONSIDERABLE commotion has been caused in Negro newspaper circles by the fact that on his Southern lecture tour the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General of the U. N. I. A., visited Mr. Clarke, the Imperial Kleagle and Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Some papers stated that Mr. Garvey was endeavoring to form an alliance with the organization, whose ideal is the supremacy of white Protestant Americans, thus barring the Negroes, the Catholics and the Jews from close communion with them. In the New York World on Sunday, July 23, Mr. Garvey informed the reading public that he visited the Imperial Kleagle to get first hand information regarding the plans, purposes and activities of an organization that has been cussed and discussed, pro and con. We recommend a careful perusal of that article. It shows that Mr. Garvey was in his senses and in his right mind when he entered the lion's den. FOREIGN AFFAIRS By DUSE MOHAMED ALI Reports from Geneva state that Abbas Hilmi, ex-Khedive of Egypt, has arrived there secretly from Constantinople because the British had declined to give him a passport. Hilmi calls Faud, the present 'King,' a usurper and declares that not only is he prepared to serve the Egyptian people, but that notwithstanding the declaration of Egyptian independence the country is still in a state of siege with a British court martial working overtime in the interests of good government and self-determination! I have frequently stated in these notes that the much heralded Egyptian independence was but another of England's diplomatic subterfuges in the Nile Valley. The country still raises cotton of a fast deteriorating quality, and Manchester manufacturers, who are British taxpayers and liberal supporters of English party funds, must have the raw material for their mills, as well as an occasional peerage or knighthood by way of compensation for their patriotic zeal. Abbas Hilmi has ever been a thorn in Britain's side from that far off day shortly after his accession to the throne of Egypt when he incurred the displeasure of Lord Kitchener by criticizing that spurious hero's military administration in the Sudan. His subsequent alliance with the late Mustapha Pasha Kamel, the Egyptian Nationalist leader, his later diplomatic alliance with Turkey just prior to the war, all led up to his deposition at the instance of Kitchener, who had never forgotten nor forgiven the Khedive's criticism of his military skill. I am not sure that the Egyptian people are very anxious to avail themselves of Hilmi's services. With the exception of Prince Omar Tousson and the late "Sultan" Hossain, the stock of that Albania adventurer, Mohamed Ali, has had very little consideration for the condition of the Egyptian people. They have, for the most part, only concerned themselves with the accumulation of personal wealth at the expense of Egypt in order that they might cut a sensational figure in the high circles of Europe. Quite recently one of that ilk, assisted by his prize fighting secretary, has shown the American public the stuff of which the title is made. Egypt might burn, but the "Egyptian" Prince must have his indulging. If we must have a King, and the British will not let us have Tousson, why not found a native dynasty? We have Simon pure natives who are every whit as good as the stock of Mohammed Ali man pleasant. Moscow's advice inform us that the reported death of Lenin, like that which once applied to the late Mark Twain, is very much exaggerated. It would appear that the wish of the European Cabinets is father to the thought. The Soviet Government has been tottering to its fall, according to the diplomatic Solomons of Europe, for the past three years, but it appears to march merrily on, thriving on the rumors of its speedy dissolution. Those gentry who sit in the seats of the mighty seem to forget that the French revolution produced a military dictator, but the commune brought a republic. The germs of liberty and the desire for democratic government which were spread by Robespierre and his colleague did not pass with them on the scaffold, but lived on in the heart of France until the time arrived to strike a real blow for freedom. Czarist priest-ridden Russia had a Nihilist propaganda extending over at least three parts of a century. The people may be ignorant, but they have been aroused from their lethargy, and Europe, with its old Shibboleths and diplomatic subterfuges and expedients, is nearing the precipice over which the Russian proletariat threatens to thrust it. If France is really democratic, why should she fear contact with a more advanced form of democracy? If England, through the mouth of her opportunist Prime Minister, is the champion of self-determination, why on earth should Russia not be allowed to self-determinate along her own lines? The fact is Europe, or the men who are responsible for her destiny, are neither liberal nor democratic. They protest too much. They fear that Soviet contact will result in an avalanche of freedom and liberty which will sweep the inept diplomatic place-holders and their masters, the industrial pirates, from their luxurious seats. They fear that the march of Communist thought will loosen their strangle hold on Asia and Africa and, above all, they fear the Armageddon which even now quickens in the womb of their own inepititude. Verily "The wicked fleeth when no man pursueth." Meanwhile at The Hague the League of Nations conference, like its predecessors, has bloomed up by the gas of the "experts." The League of Nations' Council, sitting in London, has endeavored to ratify the Palestine mandate, but Italy is not quite willing because her "Sphere" in Asia Minor has not maternalized owing to the activities of Kamel Pasha and the non-ratification of the treaty of Severs by the Turks. Italy intends to have her corner in the spoils and therefore she obstructs. The Pope has registered his objection to the Palestine mandate, as I said last week, and it is quite improbable that the Syrian mandate will come up for discussion at this session, especially in view of the present agitation in Syria and Arabia for an all-Arab consolidated movement which shall make for a united Arab people, both Muslim and Christian. This gives the Negroes their cue. If there is to be an all-Arab united movement which will agitate actively for the consolidation of Arabian power in Arabian lands, why not an all-Negro African movement for a similar purpose to operate in the land of the Negro in Africa? The Universal Negro Improvement Association represents this view and has done so for the past four years, but the Negroes of the world have not taken this question up with the enthusiasm it demands. This is not because the Negroes are not anxious for an independent settlement in the country of their fathers, but because of their fear of European opinion and obstruction. Now the obstructionist methods of the European is born of fear. He knows that the Negro is today the most mentally active of all the human family. He understands, as few Africans understand, that a group of intelligent Negroes settled on the continent of Africa, having their own independent government, would by contact with the Aborigines, quicken and clarify the semi-dormant and half articulate desires of the people for self-determination. This quickening process which contact would produce would inevitably lead to a free Africa. But vested interests on that continent are absolutely opposed to anything in the nature of Negro self-determination. Self-determination for the lighter bird of the human family is distinct from self-determination for the darker two-thirds. It is obvious that the very dark peoples are mentally the most fresh and alert. This freshness and alertness comes of the mental test they have enjoyed since the decline and break up of the Ethiopian civilizations which began about four thousand years ago. The dominating light hued races, whether European or Asiatic, have been busily using up their brain power during that four thousand-year period. They are doing, in a slightly different form, perhaps, the identical thing the Negro peoples did ten, twenty or even thirty thousand years ago. Gradually the lighter hued are discovering that something good DID come out of Africa, and this has given them pause. This pause has taken the form of repression, oppression or the more subtle political dope, which, by giving a (Continued on page 8) BATOUALA. By Rane Maran. William Selitzer. Distributed by Minor & Patterson. "Batouala" is a series of poetic jungle pictures around which are built a story of savage dramatic interest. It is the historical triangle, but wrought with a vigor, a realism and beauty that stamp Maran the master that he is. One gets up from it with a tumult of emotion. The dark, hot, cold, sensual forest life of Ubangi-Sharl, Batouala's hatred of the whites, which, at times, is not divorced from the author's. Batouala's jealous passion, the ceremony of the circumcision, the pre-dominance of sex in the African milieu—all these are sketched with a realism, a lifelikeness that is truly phenomenal. One sees the sun mounting the skies, and the figure of Bataoula meditating as to whether he should get up or go back to sleep. "He did not know" in his mind, omnipresent, is the constant fear that Yassigingulda, his favorite wife, is infatuated with the behemized Bissibingul. At the festival of ganas the lovers dance the dance of love and Bataoula is infuriated. From then on the story hinges on the plotting of Bataoula to get rid of his rival. "But Bissibingul knew that Bataoula plotted revenge, and Bataoula knew that Bissigingul knew." Then— "Blisigingul had no time to hear or think The barking of the dogs, the shouts of their masters, the glare of the flames, the heat, the drunkenness born of the sight of blood and the sight of the violence to which he and his companions had abandoned themselves—the tumult of light and sound and movement had stunned him. A heavy javelin whizzed close over his head. . . Who had thrown it? Batouala. A moment before, however, Blisigingul to escape the panther as it leapt upon him had thrown himself flat on the ground. When he raised himself, still trembling, the panther had disappeared But Batouala was there, very close to Blisigingul! The mokoukjjay surrounded by a group of M'his and N'gapus. His breath rattled in his throat. The panther, infuriated by the javelin which he had seen coming—though it was not meant for him—hipped open Batouala's belly with one blow of his pain. Then he had fed." To add coals to a consuming fire, Yassigulindja and Bissibingul looked at Batouala and shook their heads. "Is he dead?" she asked. "Not yet." "They smiled at each other. And they understood each other. Alone in the world, masters of their own fate, nothing and nobody could keep them apart . . . Bissibingul went to Yassigulindja and drew him into his arms. She yielded to his desire." Enraged at her brazen infidelity Batouala attempts to wreak vengeance on the lovers. "Ah, your eyes are opening, your eyes have opened, and you, you have thrown the covers off your horribly emaciated body. . . You have risen . . . You walk, tottering and holding out your arms like a baby learning to walk. . . Where are you going?" To Bissibingul and Yassigunda? "You're jealous, then, up to your very last gap? . . . Couldn't you let them alone, Bataoula, seeing that soon you are to die?" But no, Bataoula, with a mighty effort, rises, goes to them, separates them, and leaves them there "glued to the wall, thel, limbs quaking, their teeth chattering with terror." And the belligerent chieftain, "killed by your own self, you topple over and fall to the ground unbending as falls a tail mighty tree." It is easy to say that Bataoula will go down in history and rest alongside the epics of all time. It was our good fortune to witness the opening of "The Plantation Revue" at the 48th Street Theatre Monday night. Florence Mills is decidedly the most charming comedienne the race can well be proud of. Shelton Brooks, who acted as master of ceremonies, is positively irresistible. Brooks is a born fun-maker, and, as one critic prophesies, to replace Bert Williams on Broadway. Apart from Brooks, who is an institution of humor in himself, the entire revue palpitates with the spirit of Florence Mills. Although there is a "Hawaiian" number that evidently whetted the palates of the "aristocrat" audience, the grace, the refinement of Miss Mills' dancing and her nightingale singing dominated the entire production. Certainly Florence Mills is the Glinip of her sex. There is no getting away from that. And "The Plantation Revue" is irrefutable one of the best shows—white or black—on Broadway today. Publication of a novel entitled "The Curse at the Door." by Clara Morris Digga, is announced by the Couhill Company. The ability of the Negro race to write good poetry has long been acknowledged. Some of the most beautiful lyrics in the English language have been written by Negro poets, up to the present very, very few first-class novels have been published by Negroes. This novel, publishers oalm, is remarkably interesting, well written, and is designed to establish the intellectual character of Negroes. It seems to this newspaper that if President Harding can put down the striking miners by appeal to the law-loving and law-abiding people of this country and the Governors of the States wherein the disorders have originated, he can also by the same methods which he is now employing to restore peace and order and respect for the law put down the lynchers who with equal impunity, duly the majesty of the law. What, if any, is the difference between these striking and defiant miners and the Negro baiting disorderly white mobs of the South who are making a shambles of that section and disgracing American civilization? To the Editor or The Negro World: Dear Sir: Please permit me space in your valuable paper to voice a few sentiments aroused in my mind by the most stupid and treachorous newspaper article. It has been my lot to read. In the New York News of July 22 appeared an article entitled "Fire-Eating Demagogue Boasts Mek Supplication at Throne of Race-Murdering Ku Klux Klan." The whole article is without any logic or sound common sense, written and advertised for the sole purpose of advancing the sale of the paper in which it appears. This dilettante writes that "Marcus Garvey sought to firm an alliance with this bigoted and bloody band of race-hating outlaws, meaning the Ku Klux Klan." This statement is the keystone around which the entire trade is built. Now, admitting that Marcus Garvey did try to form an alliance with the Klan, how in the name of God could an alliance be termed a surrender? Did England surrender to Japan when she formed the Pacific pact? Did Elitho Root surrender to Dhidhara when they entered their unwritten alliance? No, they simply entered an agreement that would benefit them both. If Marcus Garvey can form an alliance with the Klan that will be of service to the Negro race, then let him do so. You will notice that I say the Negro race, and not a few stupid, bigoted, selfish individuals like the editors of the Negro press in New York City, whose policy is to agitate, to abuse, to save and storm so as to cater to those Negroes whom they think cannot distinguish bravery from downright stupidity and to be patted on the back by the white people whom they are directly dependent on for the easy life they lead. These amateurs only want to dance not giving a rap who pays the piper What brings out the thoughtlessness of the editor of the New York News is the incident that in the same issue, occupying half of the column with the article on Mr Garsey appears an article headed Klux Candidate Opens Recount. This article goes on to relate how Charles Hall a member of the Klux Kluan is asking for a recount of vote for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination of Oregon and that Super Kleingle F A Rogers of the Klun has written a letter calling for an assessment of $2 per member to fight for the recount. This brings home fully to every well-thinking Negro the import of the meaning of the Klan. For if as the writer of the tirade on Marcus Garvey states, the Klan is a bunch of bloody Negro murderers, then the Klan is a candidate for Governor in the State of Oregon must necessarily be a bloody Negro murderer. Then what in the name of God can the Negroes of Oregon expect from such a Governor? And taking into consideration the natural presumption that in the next ten or twenty years the most of the important offenses in the United States of America may be filled with Klanism, or bloody Negro murderers, as this eminence shows them what in the world will become the African-Americans. JOHN R. JONES Sir. After having read an article in a local paper here under the caption, Republic of Noand, by A Britsiher who wherein the wrist is supposed to have lent the heavy weight of his pen and light thigh to the L N I A to Marcus Carvary and the Black Star Line Indiretly, I hereby crave the privileges of expressing the following My dear Irenn and Brother Knowing that we are certainly true loyal, free British West Indian subjects, my song is extended to you warmly On observing the non compliance of our fellow subjects to the celebrating of Empire Day in full, this noted Incident, peradventure, only reminds us of evolutionary changes demanded by nature immutable laws. It is not strange to hear a citizen of Great Britain commending suitable acts performed by subjects. If I were an Englishman and on hearing subjects of my nation uttering things favorable to my homeland, of a truth I would surely feel pleased, and this is natural (Continued from page 4) Yew white men in black skins some offices of preferment, blinds their eyes to the political necessities of their fellows, and these few by reason of their education place themselves at the disposal of the lighter hued, enabling them to successfully curtail the liberties of the black majority. We will take a case in point. General Smuts, Prime Minister of the South African Union, like the majority of Boers, was never favorably inclined towards Negro intellectual of political advancement. The fighting Negro of the late war opened the General's eyes to the none too remote possibility of Negro dominance in Africa. The strikes of the Kaffirs in the mines was a further evidence of the growing unity among the Negroes. He saw that suppression would not solve the problem. Extermination was equally undesirable on economic grounds because the labor of the black man was needed to work the mines. Not only was it cheaper, but climatic conditions were favorable to the Kaffir. The General therefore advocated giving the vote to the South African native. But for the awakening of the Negro through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association there would have been no franchise advocacy for the native by General Smuts. Similarly the Colonial Office would not have sent Major Wood to the West Indies on a tour of investigation with a view to introducing political reforms. It therefore follows that the Negroes of the world must get together in the interests of solidarity. They must have a home and government of their own and this matter must be pushed forward to a comprehensive conclusion at the Universal Negro Improvement Association's convention next month. --- The No. 5 Word with all men. Then how much more should not a learned gentleman, as his Britannic Majesty's representative, the Hon. Constantine Graham, British charge of affairs, praise a body of intelligent subjects as our West Indian committee. For you to boast of the British empire, on which the sun never sets, and of the glory of the Union Jack, these may all be good and true; but would such be had the early Britons remained content with their cave life, the wearing of animal skins for clothing, catching of fishes daily and gathering of wild berries for food? Then taken away and sold in the slave's markets of Rome, even so to cause the then mighty Caesar to declare, on beholding them, "these men are even too dull to be slaves." From history we learn that these same people, with self-determination, freed themselves and became a great nation, an empire. Today her power is so recognized that nothing of importance in world affairs happens to which the attention of her noble statesmen is not called. It is certainly wonderful to note her marked achievements through all walks of life. The same is also true of the United States, whose people at one time were a we are, but who today, by self-determination, became masters of their own destiny. Not forgetting the release of all Central and South America from Spain's iron grip. We have a beautiful group of Latin-American republica. I would advise that no evil be sown against any, and that our friend cease to ridicule Marcus Garvey and his projects. There is no logical reason that we should not try to napre to greater heights in human attainments, providing we do so in an orderly and upright manner. A helping hand from you and all Negroes is expected, to the end that our race become a credit to humanity. Just as Britain is a blessing on earth. Yours truly. C C BRODIE Colon, Republic of Panama. July 8. ALDERMAN HARRIS PLAYS UNCLE TOM BY TRYING TO DISCREDIT HON. MARCUS CARVEY AND GARVEYISM Alderman George W Harris of the Flat District, Harlem, New York, is credited with writing an article in the New York World, Sunday issue of July 16, charging Hon Marcus Garvey and Garveyism from a psychological point of view with forming an alliance with the Ku Klux Klan, it is a fault on its face, because if it had been true a white reporter representing the New York World would have written it, which would have been credited to a white man instead of a Negro; hence as the alliance matter was a supposition or imaginary matter, and again the New York World had no look-in during the interview of Mr Garvey at the Ku Klux Klan headquarters on the account the World wrote up the Klan last fall. Therefore the New York World had to use an Uncle Tom to act as a servant to bring them some imaginary news about Mr Garvey and the Klan. Unfortunately Alderman Harris fell the victim, acting as Uncle Tom to write the white folks some news with a conscientious desire to blot discourage and disorganise the greatest unification of race consciousness spirit the Negro race has ever had, which is the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The New York World tried to discourage this association during the past winter, but it failed to succeed. It seems now that it has found one Uncle Tom to serve its desires, but new Negroes are not so easy to be trapped by new Uncle Toms as old Negroes were Alderman Harris stated the parts Negroes played in making American history. Most of these parts have been as servants, so the servant part is no more than junk history. The part the Negro played in war is as equivalent to junk history. He fought and died in the Civil war to enjoy the same rights as other American citizens. The question is: Does the Negro enjoy all of the citizen's rights? No. By JAMES M. WEBB THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 HIS EXCELLENCY RUDOLPH SMITH ELECTRIFIES THE ATLANTIC CITY DIVISION Atlantic City does not frequently send any news concerning the working of its division, but from a point of loyalty and liberality to Afro's cause Atlantic City can be compared with any other division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. On the 18th of June we were honored with the presence of the "Roaring Lion" in the person of His Excellency Hon. Rudolph Smith, W. J. Leader remained with us fifteen days. We opened up our drive on the night of the 15th with a big meeting in one of our largest churches, kindly loaned to us by Dr Martin. Mr. Geo H Walla, president, presided at the meeting, and associated with him on the platform were Prof Bryan C Buck and your humble servant. After brief address by Prof Buck and the writer, His Excellency was introduced, and for one hour and a half he held the audience spellbound with his persuasive eloquence and his convincing logic. When he announced that he was about to conclude the audience roared for him to continue, and the enthusiasm ran so high that the thunder of the applause could be heard far and wide. He advanced to the very edge of the platform, and with a stooping posture, the fingers of his left hand curved and tense, and his right hand pointed to the audience. he emphatically declared that he was prepared to debate with anyone on the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His Excellency then decided to place the division on a sound footing, and at a business meeting called for on Look Out for the Appearance THE FIRST Real Negro Daily News The Daily “Negro Times” Published by the AFRICAN COMMUNITY the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT in the Interest of the Negro People MARCUS GARVEY, Editor-in-Chief First Issue Leaves Press August 10.

The war has been over close to four years and the Negro has received no democracy as yet. So all the Negroes' part in American history is junkdom. So Negro leaders who rally to it are only playing Uncle Tom for the whites and in the meantime are misled and deceive their race. The time has arrived when the Negro is beginning to make his own citizen's rights and own democracy out of his own government by his own people. The Negro has done this before and he can do it again, so by the help of God old Uncle. Tom and new Uncle Tom will never stop the new Negroes from perfecting a complete liberty for his race hence Garveyism has struck the match and will burn up all opposition against the Negro's complete liberty. 444 ```markdown ``` June 23 the resignation of the president was sent in, and on the following night Mr. Milton Phillips, our worthy friend, was elected president, Mr. Darnville Simons was elected treasurer and Mrs. Julia Hall was elected assistant treasurer.

NO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND DRAWING HOUSE 1. The last time, but one, that I had the honor of seeing Mr. Frederick Douglas before his death was in the early part of September, 1894, when he entertained as a guest at his residence Mrs. Victoria Erie Matthews, one of our early newspaper women, who made some pretensions to authorship, and who had written and published a clever little story called "Aunt Linda." She was also president of the Negro Women's Loyal League of New York City. I had called at Cedar Hill to pay my respects to Mrs. Matthews, who was visiting Washington for the first time. I reached Cedar Hill a few minutes after 8 p.m. and sent in my card. In a few moments Mrs. Matthews, accompanied by Mr. Douglas, came out upon the veranda. Mrs. Matthews, assuming that Mr. Douglas and I were strangers, started to introduce us, and both he and I laughed. "Oh, you are acquainted, then," said Mrs. Matthews. "Yes," answered Mr. Douglass. "Brother Bruce and I are good friends." The weather at that season being quite warm, Mr. Douglas suggested, when he noticed that Mrs. Matthews was about to enter the house, that as it was cooler on the veranda, we would find it much more comfortable there. There was a big wicker settee, a number of comfortable arm chairs and one or two rockers on the veranda and, being a member of the Sons of Rest, I took one of the rockers, Mr. Douglas and his guest sitting on the settee. The veranda, as everyone knows who has ever visited Cedar Hill, commands a magnificent view of the city, and is about that hour of the day in the summer, one of the shadiest and coolest places about the old mansion. At one end of the veranda was a hammock of substantial make in which Mr. Douglas said he sometimes realized "when he felt lazy," and on the floor near the door were two large dumbbells which he said he used to get up an appetite for breakfast. "I exercise every day," he said, "and I find that it does me a great deal of good and makes me feel younger and more vigorous." Mr. Douglas was fond of the company of young people, and at the time of my visit to Codar Hill there was a considerable company of young men and women in the rear playing croquet on the lawn, a game of which Mr. Douglas was very fond and which he played with unusual skill, using the mallet with which he worked as a cauler in the shipyards in Baltimore. In the course of the evening he told us many things concerning his early life as a slave, and spoke feelingly of his last interview with his mother; how he felt and what he felt on parting from her, the best friend he had on earth. His tone was not bitter, even when he recited the instance of the brutality of the brute in human form to whom his master had hired him, and who, in endeavoring to flog him, and was knocked down several times by him. There was a amile of victory on his face as he recalled that incident, followed by a pained expression as he told how three or four rough white men, coming on to the scene, overpowered him, knocked him down, and how the man to whom he was hired kicked him in the face with the heel of his rough boot with such force that the blood spurred from the wound like water. "This man," said Mr. Douglas, "is now a pauper, and he has only recently appealed to me for aid, and I have been assisting him over month or so." Mr. Douglass in his early life had been a local preacher in the Methodist Church, which was then under white pilchards. For reasons which must be apparent, he severed his connection with the organization. The attitude of the Methodist Church was not in harmony with that of the opponents of slavery. Mr. Douglass told us that he never could understand how these A SENSATIONAL SUCCESS IN EVERY COUNTRY IN WHICH IT HAS APPEARED BatoualA THE NEGRO NOVEL CROWNED WITH THE PRIX GONGOURT By RENE MARAN Selling 5,000 copies a day in France. Seldom has a book been awaited by the public with such keen interest. And no wonder! A master hand has here depicted a new world, not a fancy world, but a world of solid reality, with new people, new custom, a beautiful mythology of their own, a people who live primitively, marry primitively, and hunt big, wild game, not for pleasure alone, but as the lion and tiger hunt together, in order to get food. "BATOUALA" is the lilad of the African Negro. But it is the lilad of a people who live in our day.

MINOR & PATTERSON, Distributors 232 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY Please MORNING/SIDE $40 AGENTS WANTED Minor Negro Street and 12th and 13th Avenues. C. O. B. PRICE, $1.75 ```markdown ``` MAGAZINE PAGE Methodist bishops and preachers could be such hypocrites as to pretend to love Jesus, while in their hearts they hated the Negro and even sold him on the auction block when he had only one-eighth Negro blood in his veins. "You young people," he concluded, "are living in Paradise compared to the Hell through which the slaves have passed" I recall that a few weeks after his return from Hayti, to which country he had been accredited as U. B. Minister Resident and Consult-General by President Harrison, Mr C A. Johnson and myself, who were then conducting the National Capital News Syndicate, called on him to get an interview for which a big Western paper had promised a very attractive price. The Mole St. Nicholas affair was one of the leading diplomatic questions of the day. The papers were full of it and Mr Douglas' position was a very delicate and ticklish one, he being of the same race and color of the Haytians, some of the newspapers were so uncharitable as to intimate that Mr. Douglas was lukewarm on the proposition which this government had made to Hayt for the acquisition of the Mole St. Nicholas. Admiral Gherardi was accordingly sent to Hayt as Commissioner Extraordinary to do what the administration considered. Mr Douglas had failed or refused to do, viz. secure the consent of the Haitian Government to the cession of the Mole But Admiral Gherardi, like a certain king, marched up the hill and then marched down again, or like that well known railroad man, was "off again, gone again, on again" Finnigan. When Admiral Gherardi arrived at Port au Prince and sent his card in to the President, Mr Firmin, the then Secretary of State for the little Black Republic, vised it and dispatched a messenger to the distinguished visitor with a request that he state the nature of his business with the President of Hayt. When informed that he had been sent by the President of the United States to discuss the question of the cession of the Mole St. Nicholas, he was told that the President of Hayt could not discuss that question with any representative of the United States except its duly accredited Minister. And then Admiral Gherardi awitted the return of Mr. Minister Douglas from the United States when he was duly presented at Court by Mr. Douglas, with the result that the Mole was not ceded at that time. What is to be in, as Klipling would say, "another story" Coming back to my story, I said to Mr. Johnson: "Charley, the white correspondents have failed to draw Mr. Douglas out on this question. I feel confident that he will talk to us freely and explain and simplify much that seems inexplicable concerning it. You do the talking. I will take the notes." So we jumped on a street car and went to Cedar Hill. It was a fearfully hot day. When we arrived at the house we saw Mr. Douglas sitting in a big rocker on the veranda. He was dressed in a rooftop white duck suit and wore a big Panama hat and was in excellent spirits. He received us with that rare grace and courtesy which are the hallmarks of the polished gentleman. "Havo seats, gentlemen," he said, motioning us to comfortable arm chair, and turning to me he said, with a merry twinkle in his eyes: "Bruce-Grit," I know what brings you here. You scout a scoop. I declare you newspaper gentlemen are the most enterprising and persistent people in the world. No longer than last night a representative of the New York World came all the way out here after 11 o'clock to interview me, and I was compelled to deny him the pleasure. I told him that the newspapers seemed to know more about the pending negotiations than either the President, the Secretary of State or myself, and that THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 I must ask him to excuse me from saying anything for publication about the matter. The next day, to my surprise, there was a column interview, which I never gave, printed in the World. It was for the most part a tissue of falsehoods. This kind of newspaper enterprise quite surprises me. I cannot understand it." Mr Johnson said: Mr., Douglas, we are here to talk with you on the same subject, and we promise you that if you will give us an interview, we will not misrepresent you. "Well," said he in a fatherly way. I don't mind talking to you young men. You must know that I feel very keenly the unjust and uncalled-for attacks which have been made upon me by some of the leading papers of the country. They have charged me with being false to my obligations as a public official and with sympathising with the Haytians in this controversy. It is false, maliciously false. No man has been more loyal to his country or to his convictions than myself. The Haytians have the best of the argument in this discussion. They have right on their side, and I shall always be found on the side of right, come weal or woe, no matter what people say or think about me. I am answerable to God and to my own conscience for my conduct in this matter, and I have no apology to make to anyone for my course in this controversy. As I am the representative of this government at Haytli, I would not sacrifice my honor or my manhood for the best office in the world." Then he went on and told us the inside history of the Mole St Nicholas affair. Mr Johnson piled him with questions and I wrote down the substance of the answers to them. Our interview lasted nearly an hour and embraced the history of previous efforts made to acquire the Mole St Nicholas by treaty or otherwise by France and this country years ago, because of its great strategic value and importance. When we had finished the interview we took our hats to go, saying we did not wish to further take up his valuable time and thanked him for his great courtesy to us, told him how much we enjoyed the visit and his frank talk to us on this question. He told us not to be in a hurry to and requested us to accompany him to his orchard, with which we compiled. When we arrived there he filled our pockets with delicious peaches and we carried off a dozen between us, inside of us. Just as we were about to say goodbye for the second time, Mr. Douglass made a comical grimace and said, "Bruce-Grit. I noticed that you were taking some notes while Bro. Johnson, our friend here—our legal friend—conducted the examination of the witness and I may say to you and Bro. Johnson that the conversation which we have had is not intended for publication. I have some idea of writing on the subject for the North American Magazine and I shall incorporate most of what I have said to you in my article." Here was where the scoopers got scooped. I opened my notebook and read at Mr. Douglass' request the gist of the questions propounded and the answers given by him. He smiled approvingly and said, "You have done well to follow me so accurately. I salute you! Don't quote me." I tore up my notes in his presence and Johnson told him that we could not honorably print the story in the face of his objection, and he thanked us and bade us a hearty good evening, waving his broad-brimmed Panama as we descended the steps to the main road. COPY OF LETTER FROM FRED ERICK DOUGLAS8 I do not forget that I owe you many thanks for your kind letter. I am very glad to have your approval of any little work I have done or may do in the world. I am very human and, though I have that within me that enables me to stand alone with my work and my convictions, I am never indifferent to the good opinions of my fellow men, especially that part of them who are thoughtful, of whom I count you as one. I see that some who praise me say much of my "mistakes," but they do not say where, or what mistakes I have made. I suppose one of my mistakes has been confiding in men I ought to have distrusted. Again thanks for your respected letter. In Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare's biography of her late father, N Wright Cuney, whom I knew very well in his lifetime, is a paragraph which I commend to the consideration of that type of colored and Negro leaders who imagine themselves to be solid with the white leaders. The incident recorded occurred at a dinner party in Washington, D. C., in 1897. I had it from the same source, perhaps, from which Mrs. Hare obtained it. The passage is at page 113, and reads thus: "Mr. Hanna then turned to Mr. Hobart and surprised all present by saying: 'Do you know, Hobart, we finally captured all the Southern Niggers except Clarkson's, and especially that man Cuney and his followers in Texas? Nothing could touch or affect him either in immediate performances or in future promises. Nothing could change him from Clarkson or Allison." This was a splendid tribute to the loyalty and sense of honor of N. W. Cuny and, at the same time, it showed that Mark Hanna, though a president-maker, had not qualified for that office himself, for, he spelled "Negro" with two gs. The Clarkson referred to by him was the Hon. James S. Clarkson of, Iowa, late surveyor of the port of New York. YE COLYUMNIST Right and left have we been chided derided, and, to degeneral to the avenue, hawled out All because our method of running this columyn, to some folks, seems imitative. Both by ord of mouth and by impolitely worded notes. The former method is customary of our worthy editor—he of the Brooklyn graveyard, recently mentioned here. The latter we are inclined to ignore. What rift has any one to set a standard by which our lives should run? How many artists have not tried to equal Benvenuto Cellini? How many authors to attain a Shakespeare calibre? And so on down the line. Every man in his chosen field striving to equal or outdo his predecessor All thru this world as we go along may be found people who are willing to regulate the lives of their fellowmen For no one we will set any standards Should there be any n-4 -e purpose to do our own regulating. And as necessity arises trample those set by our contemporaneous childers, deriders, and bawlers out. All we in a position to offer them is noblesse oblige At the same time with their permission we would suggest that they be a bit more explicit. Then we may decide to give their complaint some consideration. We saw on Seventh Avenue recently a placard stating that there will be a ball given by the Saloon Keepers League or something. It was a shock to us. We thought that these Knights of an old order were everlastingly in the discard. Passing the edifice where these gentlemen once held away, all that stare us in the face are black-boards, announcing that business men's lunch may be had within. But apparently, as some great man has said—it may have been Sororites or Omur K or W J Bryan, nothing in this life dies." We have come to understand through a reliable source that this sheet contemplates a daily. Same to go into effect the early part of next month. Not being connected neither in a business nor an executive capacity we cannot tell for sure. However, if this be true, and we hope it is, it would be our great Jelgert will the M. E. to sign us up. But while on this subject we should like to make a contract whereby if we fail to measure up to the expected standard, or troubled with senile decay, we could not be booted out of our job. It is our conviction that with such marked calibre as ourselves and a few others—the change in fortunes of this sheet can't be anything but of sterling success. This also happens to be our reclaimer and is open for confirmation, or rejection. L. L. H. SURGEON-GENERAL DEPARTMENT PELLAGRA DEFINITION—Pellagra or jambardian leprosy is a system of intoxication possibly associated with the ingestion of spilled maize or maize products and characterized by three distinct groups of symptoms—gastro intestinal cutaneous and neuropathic—with a marked tendency to seasonal recurrences, exhaustion, insanity and death. The disease first made its appearance in the United States in 1907. CAUSE.—The cause of pellagra is still under dispute. The weight of opinion inclines to the toxicilic theory that the disease is due to a fungus growing on maize. The disease is seen among the poor and ill fed. Race age and sex appear to be without influence. SECONDARY FACTORS ARE—Exposure to sunlight and the season of the year. The disease occurs in the spring of the year and subsides during the fall and winter. Congestion, pigmentation and thickening of the skin, with ultimate atrophy of the upper layers. Brown atrophy of the heart, general atrophy and degeneration of all internal organs; excessive pigmentation of the liver cells are mentioned. SYMPTOMS — 1 Gastro-intestinal persistent and progressive diarrhea of the serious type, sometimes becoming a mucous colitis, accompanied by steady loss of weight and strength. Severe ulcerative stomatitis, with profuse salivation, soreness of the gums interfering with swallowing, great pain, sloughing and a fetid breath. 2. Cataneous—bright red copper discoloration of the skin, later becoming bronzed, and finally a dul, brown. The skin at first has a scaled look The thickening is later replaced by atrophy and thinning of the epidermis Later blebs and bullae may develop, which, after rupturing, leave a red, weeping layer of cuticle. The distributing is typical—the back of the hands, dorsum of the feet, point of the elbow, the neck and symmetric portions of the upper part of the face are involved. The cutaneous changes develop usually after the onset of gastro-intestinal disturbances. There is an absence of subjective symptoms. 3. Neuropsychology—During the prodrome and early stages headache, malosa, vertigo and muscular weakness and tremors. As the disease progresses the psychic disturbance may show itself in a variety of ways: Melanoholia, restlessness, mental confusion, hallucinations of sight and hearing, and even active delirium. Paresthesial and anesthesia are observed. The patient's refusal of food, partly on account of the stomatitis, evinces suicidal tendencies, and finally suffers complete loss of memory and mental power. DIAGNOSIS—Conditions from which pellagra must be distinguished are mild alcoholism, sourv, sunburn, leprosy and some other skin diseases. PROGNOSIS.—Pellagra proves fatal in most instances after a variable duration. In the United States the duration is apparently shorter than that given by European writers, and is counted by months or even weeks. The mental deterioration in those who survive is said to be permanent. Children appear to possess a somewhat greater resistance than adults. TREATMENT—There is no specific HYPOCRISY O England you are horror-struck because your Gallic neighbor Has placed black soldiers on the Rhine To keep the Hun in order You prate aloud of outrage and you shout about the crimes Your lying tongue invented for those men of Afric climes. "Tis a shame that stinks to heaven And it makes you sick to think Of the depths to which such action Makes the dear good Germans sink. But pause a minute, England, While a hand of sable hue Steers the ship of your remembrance Back a wee short year or two. Let's go back to 1914. Month of August, day the fourth. When you hurried your proud defiance There across the Pirth of Forth. When you told the cruel Teuton To the bitter end you fight To uphold the faith of England And to vindicate the right "I am impossible!" you thundered That I sit supinely quiet While the ruthless hordes of Prussia Over Belgium run riot! So you seized your sword and rifle And you rushed into the fray, Backed by Gaul and helped by Russian "Soon you thought," I will win the day Then, to hearten up your soldiers And to win the world's consent, Tales of flemish German cruelty Around the world you sent To America and Asia, To the islands of the seas, To East and West and North and South Your cry was on the breeze "They have murdered little children, Killed the suckling at the breast, They have ravished Flemish women, They have spread the noxious pest, They have violated treaties And their word is good for naught, Hymns of hate and hollish kultur In their infant schools are taught" How you counted up their vices While you awore their virtue lacked, Reams of anti-German stories In creation a car you quacked, But the Germans kept advancing. Charged and broke your wavering line And while hell was loose in Flanders All was peaceful on the Rhine. When your hardy black colonials Their aid at first did proffer You told them Twas a white man's war — You are and theirs it offer But, ah' the light grow fierer, And the battle grew so strong Your mushroom hopes of victory Died, and your face grew long. Chill terror gnawed your vitals, Despair was in your soul. Defent loomed near, and far away Receded victory a goal Your life blood flowed like water The ghost was at the feast. The stiff-necked Angelo-Saxon Sought deivery from the East' His boastful words of yesterday — 'This is a white man's war — Were dropped, and in the race to die Down went the color bar' Forth from the East and from the Wes From North and South they came. The captives' sons arose to save Their captors' race from shame' Nobly they fought and nobly died Dupes of autocracy They shed their rich red African blood To save democracy And now the fearful strife is over Now that the battle won.

Weekly Sermon Weekly Sermon AGENTS WANTED AT ONCE Subject. "The Irony of God." Text "If I were hungry I would not tell thee." Psalm 1-13. In reading your Bible have you ever thought of the satire of our Heavenly Father, and how like Him we are if we but study Him from every angle and express Him? The Bible contains many wonderful ironies of God Christ was a satire of the first order His irony was scorching. When He spoke in this manner self-righteousness and dramatism became limp and impotent under His fire. What lessons do we gather from the divine ironies? God is kind when His irony seems most cruel. It is never merely irony. A great purpose of teaching or chastening is in it. Vividly illuminative as a lightning flash, it is seldom like it in destructive force. God abjures what is termed the art of sneering, but He is determined to send home many a truth through the channel of sarcasm. His satire is designed as a saving force rather than a wounding one. This psalm read as a whole reveals that the irony of God is justified by its loving and healthful purpose. It is meant to correct erroneous views of things divine and to inculcate lofty conceptions of those august realities. The dominant purpose is to teach the immutability of God and the spirituality of acceptable worship. It is quick and powerful God turns His irony first upon self-sufficient men and cries. If I were hungry I would not tell thee. 1 Then God is spiritual God is above hunger. His nature is immaterial. He dwells in the realm of spirit and hence no need of material sustenance. It has always been a difficult task to get men to recognize the spirituality of God. Human life is to be regnant with spirituality. For Christ said "God is spirit, and man His image must commune with Him in the spirit to understand and reflect His being." People of old, who offered sacrificial bullocks and gods, thought this was intrinsically necessary to God. They fancied He could be hungry. Heathenism has often just judged their deities, but our God, says the psalm, is the all spiritual. He dwells far above the hunger line. Do you realize the fact that God is spiritual? Your conception of God will determine your worship. Men need ceremonies, but God doesn't. We prefer temples to worship in, but God needs the upright and pure hearts of men. Let us partake of the divine nature that is a spiritual through faith. For it is our destined end to reflect our Father in whose spirit we live, move and have our being. He is above hunger, if He were not He would not tell us. Why? He cause of His infinite resources "For the world is mine and the fullness thereof: "Every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills— they all have my brand upon them I know all the fowl of the antlins and old lice of the jungles are mine. Do you wonder that He declares "If I were hungry I would not tell thee?" Who else is incapable of hunger? God I an eternal miracle He is a God of infinite resources. Try him and be con- vinced that I will supply your every need. Have you ever felt called upon to try him" I have And I found that every material mental and spiritual need He relieved When we are curious to learn of God and comply with his commands, he will reveal himself to us. He clears the sens and rivers. He finds founts in the desert. He d'iscovers rocks to be but congealed fountains. He rains-down food when earth cannot grow it. He finds us hemmed in by rugged rocks, and gives us a vertical exit, when lateral exit there is none. What a God! The very God for the busy, the care-smitten, the weak and sinful. Depend on his resourcefulness. Yet, if you have never done so, begin today and you will find it a payin' investment. Why are so many hungry, poor and destitute? Is it because God, who is never hungry or in poverty, an impartial Father? No. It is because that man or woman has failed to understand God, and in this failing, has failed to live a real life after the order and manner God intended him or her to live. III "God has His reservations." Suppose we admit that God was hungry. What course would he follow? "I would not tell thee." Thus God hints his reservations. When he lovingly says, "I would not tell thee." ```markdown ``` he greatly enhances the interest in the future. It makes us curious to disclose the future holdings and to travel in the way to find its mysteries. There is much to look forward to. Light is sown for the righteous and the harvest is sure. It is worth while to wait. What a God is ours? The old theologian, who said, "God is a circle whose center is everywhere, but his circumference is nowhere," spoke wisely. IV. "Then there are contingencies with God." That. "If I were" is seed out of which a harvest of suggestion might spring. It hints of contingencies: appertaining to God. He himself suggests certain of these in the inspired word. If God were—to change! That, however, is impossible. He is eternal and unchangeable. If God were to become indifferent! Bless his name the equally impossible. He careth for you is an immortal fact. "If I were to be—angry! The Redeemer's blood brings us peace and quiet. If I were to impoverish thy life! How would you bear it? What resources of grace have you? If, I were—to summon you—and me today! What outlook fronts you? If I were—to disown you at last! Oh, what a terrible contingency. Be diligent, my soul, that thou hear not his word of doom. "I never knew you!" Blessed they whose life and death are illumined with the living hope. V "This strange irony of God may suggest a gospel for us all." It is the very spirit and substance of Christure God is hung; and has told us. He is hungry for our hearts, our love our trust, our service Yes, he has told us so Pountalus of Good All Blessing flow From thee, no want thy fullness knows; What but myself canst thou desire? Yes, self sufficient as thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart. This, only this, dost thou require. God having told us of his gracious hunger, let us satisfy the appetite. Let us live after the order and manner of the spirit, and thous fulfill the law of God HARLEM COMMUNITY COUNCIL REORGANIZED The North Harlem Community Council is now reorganized, and is doing big things in our midst. It has taken up the fight for cheaper gas, and has been holding open forum meetings in the lecture room of the public library at 103 West 135th street. The Hon. F. H. La Guardia, former president of the Board of Aldermen, was the speaker at the meeting on July 7, and on July 14 William A. Birdsey, the gas expert of the City of New York for the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, spoke, and showed a stereopticon pictures that told more plainly than words what would happen to the consumer's pocketbook if the public service commissioner allows the gas companies to have their way The possibilities for developing a new kind of citizenship through the Community Council are not realized by Negroes in Harlem, and we should not miss this opportunity to get first-hand knowledge of the potentialities in this neighborhood for civic, educational, commercial, social and other human activities as they may be brought out through the Community Council. The principal officers of the council are Mr Clyde Jimmott, chairman; Mr John Roberts, secretary. Mrs. Eddie Aspinall, treasurer.

How tuttle these efforts have proven and are proving can be seen by the thousands who literally jam Liberty Hall night after night, and especially Sunday nights demonstrating their loyalty to the association and its leadership and giving their material and moral support to the cause. The speakers tonight were the President General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, the American leader Hon. J W H. Eason, who has just returned from his field mission throughout the country, the Secretary General, Hon. F A. Toote, Hon. G E. Carter, Special Assistant to the President General, and the second Assistant Secretary General, Hon. R L. Poston, all of whom delivered inspiring messages that met with hearty response. The President General discussed the recent action of the Council of the League of Nations, which met in London last Wednesday and made a final distribution of a portion of the African colonies taken from Germany as a result of the late war, apportioning parts of Togoland and the Kameroons to England and France as mandates. Mr Garvey characterized this high-handed exploitation of Africa by the European powers as an act that is calculated to lay a firm foundation for war and rumors of war and said he, "Tonight I say this from the platform of Liberty Hall, that if Englishmen, if Frenchmen, if Italians, if alien races think that they can continue to legislate for Negroes they make a big mistake. Negroes of this twentieth century are not considering them, and therefore Balfour and the rest of them may determine, we are determined to ignore because, as far as the apportionment of Africa is concerned, no Englishman, no Frenchman, no Briton has any right of way and no in the matter. By the resolution of African territory had taken place, he said, despite the efforts of delegation of African nations and the protest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Thursday the association sent a cable through Viscount Isihl of Japan to the Council of the League of Nations protecting emphatically against the distribution of the colonies among France and England. This dissatisfaction, he declared will not be backed up with more words, but the association was going to organize more rigidly than ever the 490 000 000 Negroes of the world to smash up every mandate they have created. Advertising to the news that France has issued a proclamation that 'The Negro World shall not be circulated in the French Colonial possessions of Wrica, Mr. Garvey scoffed at the idea remarking that it was too late, as the association had already organized not only the French colonial possessions in Africa, but has organized the Bengalese troops on the Rhine Hon G E Carter took for his theme Good Neighbor and said while the critics of the association could establish two reasons why they should not join the organization, yet we, who are on the inside have four good reasons why we ought to be here First, because it was a universal idea, secondly, it was a Negro idea that touches black people throughout the world, thirdly, because it has disproven what was formerly a truth, that it was impossible for Negroes to get together, and lastly because it was supposed to be an improvement association and there was no people who needed more radical improvement than the Negro The association, he said, was a big idea, and it calls for big minds to master the situation. It was worth our while to devote ourselves exclusively to the plan of redeeming Africa, but Africa will never be redeemed until we have proved conclusively to the world that we have grasped the program and will help to put it over Hon R L. Poston in his address took to task the editors of the New York News and the Amsterdam News for their recent boastings of the fact that they are Americans. That kind of Americanism, he said, is not appreciated that condones oppression and does not believe in the freedom of speech and the freedom of action. In conclusion, he said, if these would be real Americans would study the history of this country and study it right, they would be imbued with the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which seeks to free from suppression the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Hon, J W H. Eason in a few brief remarks said he was glad to state that in every section where he had visited throughout the country, the eyes of our people are being opened more than before and they are becoming determined to support in every way the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Following are the speeches: Mon, Marcus Cogan Speech Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: Tonight I desire to speak for a few minutes on the action of the Council of the League of Natigna. Last Wednesday the Council of the League of Nations assembled in London and made a final distribution of a portion of the African colonies taken from Gor many during the late war. In the hap- portionment of the late German colonies, parts of Togoland and the Kameron were given to France, and other parts were given to England as mandates. The distribution of the Kameron and Togoland among the French and English governments brings out the fact that the protests of the National*Congress of Africa of 1920, and the protest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of 1920 and 1921 were not beheaded. Protects Against Distribution of Afri- can Territory In 1820 a delegation from the National Congress of Africa made up of African natives met a committee of the League of Nations Union in London and among the many things they protested against in the name of Africa was the parceling out of Togoland and the Kamerouns as mandates of European powers without taking the people domiciled in those sections of Africa into consideration. The league initiated its apportionment, I believe, at the Versailles conference or some time afterwards, but they were not final in this apportionment or distribution. The final act was performed last Wednesday in London when a few men from Europe met, headed by Arthur J. Balfour, now known to the world as the Earl of Balfour. They met and decided among themselves as an alien race that Africans' territory—Africans' land—should be apportioned among them—distributed among them without taking the native Africans into consideration or those who have rights in Africa into consideration. The apportionment also included German East Africa, which is given to the English. So that we have the apportionment of the Kamerouns of Togoland, and the late German East African Colonies, and by that act the Council of the League of Nations have determined that they will end the great question of war. Where they got their idea from I cannot tell. The Foundation for War U. N. I. A. Entera Protest We have stood for this bluff for too long. What right has Arthur J. Balfour to sit down in London with a few of his compatriots and friends and determine the destiny of Africa? We do not see anything African in Arthur J. Balfour. What right has he to remain in London and decide the destiny of Africa? That attitude of nations which has existed in the past cannot continue, and nobody knows it better than Arthur J. Balfour that his act of last Wednesday is nothing else than a huge bluff, and that bluff will continue as long as Negroes remain disorganized throughout the world; but the moment you can get together a mighty force you will turn that bluff upside down. (Applause.) FRANCE HAS PROHIBITED "THE NEGRO WORLD" The news has come that France has issued a proclamation that The Negro World shall not be circulated in the French Colonial possession of Africa, but it is too late, we have organized already. We have not only organized the French Colonial possessions in Africa, but we have organized the Senegalese troops on the Rhine. (Voolferous applause). And we tell them without any fear, and we tell them without any desire to recall one word—that since they are looking for trouble they are going to get trouble. Black men have reached the point now where they are going to have their rights or die in the attempt of getting those rights; and we realise that there is no other place on God's green earth THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. JULY 29. 1922 Increasing Loyalty to Association Being Manifested—Association Growing in Influence and Membership HON. MARCUS GARVEY DISCUSSES ACTION OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS IN APPORTIONING PARTS OF AFRICA TO ENGLAND AND FRANCE—CHARACTERIZES THIS EXPLOITATION AS AN ACT CALCULATED TO LAY A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR WAR Cablegram Sent to League of Nations Protesting Against Distribution of African Territory—Will Be Backed Up by More Rigid Efforts to Organize Negroes of the World PROPAGANDA AGAINST THE ASSE SOCIATION With all the controversy—with all the things said and written about the Universal Improvement Association and about me personally, as far as the African program is concerned, I trust you will pay absolutely no attention, for the simple reason those things are incidental, you will have them in every big movement, you will have them in every big endeavor. You have not yet found in all human history where all the people have ever agreed at one and the same time. Therefore I do not want the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to pay much attention to what other Negroes say, because they do not mean what they say anyhow and there is not much to what they say. The fellow to whom attention should be paid is the fellow who has the intention to rob and exploit us. You can always correct the Negro who wants to do you a wrong, but you cannot always combat the other fellow unless you are strong and prepared as he is. That is why we are preaching this doctrine of preparedness to the Negroes throughout the world. Prepare with financial power, prepare with physical power; prepare with educational power, prepare with scientific power. The only way you can combat the organized powers of the world now lined up for the exploitation of Africa and of this race of ours is to keep yourselves in a position where you can meet fire with hell fire. That is the only position that is going to help you. In Arthur J. Balfour was the Earl of Haiti or the Earl of Santo Domingo, or the earl of some insignificant country or republic he would never have the nerve to sit down in London last Wednesday and decide the fate of over 25,000,000 black men in Togoland and the Kameroons and in German East Africa. Why did he do it? Because his country of England represents a mighty physical force; his country represents a naval power and because of those forces Arthur J. Balfour was able to do to Africa what as a representative of Haiti he could not do to Africa, what as a representative of Santo Domingo he could not do to Africa, what as a representative of Panama he could not do to Africa; what as a representative of Mexico he could not do to Africa. What is the difference between Mexico and England in the matter of an African mandate? The only difference is one has a powerful navy to conquer and to enslave, and the other has no powerful navy to do it. In other words, Mexico would have had the same right of parceling to Togoland and the Kameroons and German East Africa as England has but because Mexico was not an international power respected by all the great governments of the world, Mexico did not give herself the right to do that. It proves to you, therefore that brute force is the thing that rules the world; not religion, not politics but brute force, and if you have an organization you will get brute force as quickly as you can. England has parceled out our land simply because England has a big club in her hand and you have nothing. If you would take my advice you would get a club ten times as big. I am saying this without any fear or regard for what has been done, because they have absolutely no more right to do it than I had the right to sit down here and say I am going to parcel out England. What is the difference? The difference is that if you have power your trouble would be to take possession. Now that is the trouble—having possession. You cannot parcel out England because you cannot take possession. And do you know why you cannot get possession? Because you have not the power that gives that possession. What is the power that goes with possession? Brute force—the power to knock somebody out of your way. It is the power that England has, and if you want to retire her you will have to get a superior power, and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organized for—to get 400,000,000 Negroes together. And one month after that is done 20,000,000 Anglo-Saxons will hold themselves in that little island called England and never show themselves around the 12,000,000 square miles of land called Africa. Long as you keep disorganized, so long will they keep up this bluff, and I trust that the Third International Convention of the Negroes of the world is going to give you an organization that will be perfect in its physical strength, so that when we call upon the entire race we will act as one man. Balfour is going to keep up this bluff as long as you are disposed to accept the bluff, but we say from Liberty Hall that they shall not pass as far as the parceling out of African territory is concerned. They have distributed the lands of our farmers without consulting us. They have exploited Africa for 200 years, and the attitude of the present-day Negro is that we will collect nickel for nickel, dime for dime. Some of our critics may say that is all talk—that is all bluff. France falt that way in 1870, when Germany levied an indemnity on Manager "THE BLACKMAN" 56 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY, U. S. A. her, but France is laughing at Germany today. History proves that there is no permanent security for nations or races. The one race that powerful today—the one nation that is powerful today—may become a slave race or a slave nation tomorrow. Evolution carries one race from one condition to another, and today Baifour of England may be empowered to impose his will upon the world, but no one can tell what will happen to his race tomorrow. We want you to realize that the attitude of the Council of the League of Nations last week was not passed unnoticed. We have taken note of everything. Hon. G. E. Carter spoke as follows: I want to talk to you very briefly from the theme, "Good Reason," and when I mention that subject I am reminded of a story that is told at the expense of an Irishman. One day an Irishman was appointed to a certain position. He met his friend on the street and his friend said to him: "I understand that you have been appointed to an excellent position. Are you going to accept it?" Fat said, "Sure I am." Then he said: "Why would you accept that position? Do you know that the position pays very little money and that are long hours?" "Sure I understand that," was the reply "Then is that not a good reason why you should not accept it?" But he retorted: "I have six good reasons why I should accept it: I have a wife and five children." Let us apply that. There are many on the outside who could establish two reasons why they should not join the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and while they may maintain that right, and while they may justify their position, yet we who are on the inside have four good reasons why we ought to be in here. First, it is a universal idea, a world idea, and since it is a world idea, it means that it will touch black people throughout the world. Then it is a Negro idea, it is an idea that touches the black people throughout the world, and since it has been said with a great deal of truth—and this truth has stood the test up until four and a half years ago—that it was impossible to get the Negro together, and since that truth has stood so long, and in the four and a half years that truth has been disproved, for after all a man has come upon the stage of action, a man born for the purpose, has taken the wing in his hands and is managing affairs, and we have actually proved to the world that there is a possibility of teaching the Negro and that they can come together in a united effort. And then there is a third reason why it is supposed to be an improvement association. And who needs improvement more so than these people who have had 350 years of slavery? Surely we need a radical improvement in the Negro. His religion needs to be improved; his education needs to be improved: his means of earning a living need to be Look Out for the Appear- Monthly "The Bl improved, and there is need for marked improvement in every direction. And then we have given the idea of association. We need to be associated, there needs to be a universal association made up of Negroes. We need an association of all Negroes, and any man or woman who has not reached that place in his life where he is large enough to know no state, no country if a man's skin is black, is not fitted to be in the Negro improvement association. It is a big idea and it calls for big minds to master the situation, and when you have gone to that height and you have improved your mind and improved your condition so that you can understand and interpret the meaning of the universal idea. I will tell you you have an association that is worth while and then the time will come when we can devote ourselves exclusively to the plan of redeeming Africa; but Africa will never be redeemed until you have learned to do the things in this country, until you have proved conclusively to this world that you have grasped the program and will help to put it over. (Applause.) Hon. R. L. Poaton spoke as follows: Your Excellency, the Provisional President of Africa, High Chancellor Officers and Members of the New York Local: There has been sent up a great cry for Americanism and, strange to say, this cry is coming from the source of the Amsterdam News and the New York News. For some reason the editors of these papers feel called upon to tell the world that they are Americans. They seem to have a feeling—a grudge against this great universal movement, and in order to give support to their arguments they are telling the world that they are Americans. I want to tell them as an American that this country has never and never will appreciate that kind of Americanism that is not four square to the winds; that kind that does not believe in the freedom of speech, in the freedom of action and everything. We do not appreciate that kind of Americanism that condones oppression and dares speak out against it. I said to begin with, I too, am an American, but I am the same kind of American that Mr. Cohen, the Jew, is a Jew. Mr. Cohen was selling some tobacco down in a little Tennessee town and the man to whom he was selling the tobacco had a lurking suspicion that Mr. Cohen was a Jew. He did not know exactly that Mr. Cohen was a Jew, because he looked like an American, but had a Jewish name. One day he got Mr. Cohen aside and told to him: "Mr. Cohen, are you a Jew?" Mr. Cohen said "yes. I am a Jew, but I am not a durned Jew." I am an American but I believe in freedom. I believe that I was a Negro before I took on any nationality, and I am against oppression throughout the world, and I be- A GRAND FASHION SHOW WILL BE HELD AT LIBERTY HALL DURING The August Convention All those desiring to take part are asked to send orders for gowns, etc., early to UNIVERSAL DRESS MAKING DEPT.

I would that it were possible to banish eternally from us that class of Negroes who pretend to be American Negroes, when they are doing everything in their power against the principles of Americanism. I am the son of a mother who for fifteen years has taught Americanism to the children of this country. I am the son of a father who for thirty-two years in the common schools and the State Normal school of my State taught the principles of Americanism, but they never taught in all their lives for a man to remain oppressed and not speak out against oppression. If I understand Americanism at all I understand it to be that red-blooded thing which caused Patrick Henry to speak out so boldly, which caused Nathan Hale to give that which he prised most dearly in order that the principles of this great country would be sustained. And if these would-be real Americans would study the history of this country and study it right they would be imbued with the spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which seeks to free from oppression the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. (Appeause.) HON. J. W. H. EAGON SPEAKS Hon. J. W. H. Eason, American leader, in a short speech said, among other things: I am glad to see you tonight and to bring you greetings in an informal manner from the members in the sections where I have visited. I am glad to report to you and to state that the eyes of our people are being opened today more than before, and they are becoming determined to rally around the standard with their support financially, morally, intellectually, physically, commercially and politically in support of the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green. It would be interesting to you, I am quite sure, to know that in all sections of this great country in which we now live there is a growing tendency among our people to organise their forces in order to secure for themselves and for their children and their children's children the fuller manhood rights for those at home and for those abroad. And we feel that the best way to get those things which are inherently our because we are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, elsewhere in this world is to build up a most powerful institution that the world of Black folks has ever known, and this institution is none other than the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. It has been some time since it has been my good fortune to speak to the New York Local here, or even to speak before the representatives of the Provisional Government of Africa and the High Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, yet my absence from this city has meant more from an experimental standpoint for the success of the movement perhaps than it would have possibly meant had I been here with you constantly. Out upon the field—especially in the Southland—I have always gained inspiration, knowing that there were friends interested in our success—interested in the success of the great movement—assembled here at Liberty Hall night after night and especially on Sunday evenings. I sometimes wonder why people are fearful and timid as they move around in certain sections of the country. Some will make a speech in New York they would not make in Louisiana. Others will make great speeches in Chicago they are afraid to make in Georgia. I remember a field representative who said to me: "I am going far South and never expect to see you again." What difference does it make or what does it matter about a little thing like being lynched or burned or tarred and feathered when you are working for liberty and freedom (Applause); when you are working for the emancipation of a race; when you are working for the redemption of Africa; when you are working for the unfettering of unborn generations? If by being tarred and feathered; if by being hung to a limb, or being burned at the stake in New York, in Louisiana, in Georgia or in Alabama will help to bring freedom to the millions of the black sons and daughters of Ham, then I count not any sacrifices too great to make, and offer my life any time, anywhere. (Applause.) Now Mr. Harris' powerful Republican Club has denounced, think of it, in bitter and biting terms, Marcos Garvey's awful (1) speech re: the K. K. K!!! Good gracious! What next? The Knight of the "sorrowful figure" and the baseball nine mustache is taking himself as seriously as if he really amounted to something. Scat, Georgia. A year or so hence we'll have to use a powerful magnifying glass to locate you politically and journalistically. THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A.

MORALIAMO ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH IN BANES, CUBA, U. N. I. A Enthustiasm ran nigh in Liberty Hall, Banes, on Sunday night, 2nd inst., when Hon E. V Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, was present Liberty Hall was packed to its utmost capacity While the processional hymn, "Shine On Eternal Light," was being sung the nurses in uniform marched slowly up the aisle with Major J U Evans, commanding officer of the legion, leading the nurses formed in double file, while the officers passed through to their respective places. The chaplain, R. M. S F Blake, opened the meeting. In his opening remarks he encouraged the membership; to go forward in spite of the many obstacles that are in our path. He expressed our pleasure in having in our midst the Hon E. V Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, the great and noble leader who is doing so much for this worthy cause of ours. He then, in a few suitable remarks, introduced the chairman, Mr A Tomlinson, acting president Mr Tomlinson spoke on the progress the Negro has made for the past three years. In dealing with his subject, he paid great tribute to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has succeeded in bringing so many Negroes together with one aim. He exhorted the membership to go on courageously and with our indomitable leader at the helm, victory will crown our efforts with success. An organ绞织 of rare quality was given by Mr J Aarona, the ex-organist of Liberty Hall. Mr. J. Blake, third vice-president, in his address, said that the world is now undergoing a change, and it is time for us as a race to find our place. A solo by Miss Iris Morales, one of the rising stars of Liberty Hall, wasably rendered. The first vice-president in the name of the division bade welcome to the Commissioner. He encouraged him to lead on, and assured him of the fact that the Banes' Division will follow until the race finds itself as great as the greatest nation of the earth. A clarinet solo was given by Mr. R. Nixon, which gave utterance of the capability of the Negro. The lady president, Mrs. E. A. Moodie, took for her subject, "Know All Things and Show Yourselves Men." She in her usual spirited way rekindled the fire of race consciousness in the breasts of the women of the Banes Division. A violin solo was given by Mr. J. Morgan, the talented violinist, of Banes. As the Commissioner stood to deliver the speech of the evening the audience rose in his honor and sang the national anthem of Ethiopia. The Commissioner in his opening remarks extended greetings to the Banes Division in the name of the other divisions he has visited in Cuba. He hailed Banes Division as the shining star of the other divisions throughout Cuba. He mentioned that his visits to Banes always tend to encourage him to push forward regardless of difficulties. Banes division is ever saying to him: "Go on leading, Morales; we are behind you determined to follow to the extreme end." The Commissioner's address was as usual full of fire and stimulated the membership. He encouraged the members to unite and stick together for the benefit of this oppressed race of ours. In conclusion, he asked that prayers be offered for him, that he may be strengthened in his work to go on to a successful end in this glorious cause. Hon. E. V. Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, is enduring hardships and making sacrifices for the progress of our race. Long may he be spared to spread the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, JEMIMA KELSO, Secretary. Banes Division No. 52. HAMTRAMCK, MICH., DIVISION BY MELVIN J. WILLIAMB Much interest is manifested in the building drive of the Hamtramck, Mich Division, U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. Group leaders and friends are determined to put the drive over the top. The members and friends say that there will be a Liberty Hall built and maintained in Hamtramck, Mich. A building site is now being located on some principal street for the modern structure. Mr. George W. Williams, executive secretary is on the job. Many comrades and friends are anxiously awaiting for the new daily paper of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. Subscribers in this division and vicinity will be numerous. Mr. M. J. Williams, former general secretary of the division, resigned his office to direct The Radio Society, and will serve as news reporter for the division. Mr. Mario A. Stirckland resigned as general secretary of the ladies division and much regret exists among the members, as Mr. Stirckland was a faithful and intelligent worker. Miss Irene L. Williams, former general secretary of the Ladies Division, was happily married to Mr. C. M. Mull on Sunday evening, July 10, 1882, at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Williams. The occasion was befeminded by the Rev. S. J. Wooden. The whole family are N. L. A. members. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Mull success in the new life. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 U. N. I. A. AND A. C. L. MARCANE DIVISION, NO. 267, MARCANE, ORIENTE, CUBA, VISITED BY THE HIGH COMMISSIONER Like the Aurora bursting forth upon the dawn of a new day was the appearance of our most beloved leader and special representative the Hon Edwardo V Morales, High Commissioner to Cuba, who arrived on the 9:30 a.m. train from Antilla to pay his last official tribute to the Marques Division before his departure to the third International Convention of Negroes. The noble man was met at the station by Mr C Francis, President. Ms R Johnson, second Lady Vice-President, Mr and Mrs. A. Cain, Mr W Francis, ex-chairman of the Cayo Mambi Advisory Board, and others whose whole heart and implicit confidence lie in the noble man. He was conducted to his temporary place of abode, where he was refreshed at 7 30 p. m., accompanied by Mr. Francis and others, the High Commissioner entered Liberty Hall amidst the singing of the most beautiful anthem in the world "Ethiopia, Thou Land of Our Father." The meeting was then begun by, the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed by prayer Our worthy Chaplain gave a most stirring address, showing the connecting link between the Moses of old and the Negro Moses of today, the Hon Marcus Garvey. He next pointed out to his hearers the supreme sacrifice which the Hon Edwardo V Morales has made and is still making for Negro progress, and expressed his hope that in the coming Convention his work may be recognized, appreciated and recompensed. The ex-office of the Cayo-Mambi Division took the hall by storm with his eloquence. The program included "The Stability of the U. N. I. A." recitation of welcome by little Miss Olae Clark, address on government by Mr H Jackson, sold by the Second Lady Vice-President Mrs. Johnson. Another powerful address was delivered by the Second Vice-President of Cayo-Mambi Division, Mr J. A. Titus, who, in reminding the noble leader of Cuba of the confidence the 34 Divisions under his jurisdiction have placed in him, charged him with his duty to defend the Divisions in Cuba before the Convention, as he is more acquainted with their sufferings. The President Commander was at his best in eloquence. Then came the long-expected moment. When the little big man was introduced, the audience arose and sang one verse of our national anthem in honor of the greatest Negro living in the Republic of Cuba, who spoke as he never did before. His voice thundered like a German howitzer. Determination for Negro advancement could be seen beaming from his eyes like rays from a lighthouse. He spoke for one hour and a half, and at the end of his address the entire audience came to one grim determination—to live and die for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Sunday morning the High Commissioner, accompanied by the President and others, visited the police sergeant in charge of Marcane and had him promise full protection to the Division and members resident in Marcane. At 12 noon our noble guest took the train for Guantanamo, where he spoke. May God bless him and strengthen him to again return to us in perfect health. A C CAIN. Assistant Secretary July 10, 1922 COMMISSIONER GLASHEN ORGANIZES TWO DIVISIONS IN TENNESSEE Hon. Rev T C Glashen, commissioner for the State of Tennessee, is making the home drive. A new division was organized at New Market, Tenn. On Saturday evening our Hon Commissioner left Knoxville City, twenty-four miles away, accompanied by one of the loyal members of the U N I. A. for New Market. Although it was raining hard he staged a mass meeting in the A. M. E. Zion Church, which is over a mile from the station. Many did not come owing to the heavy downpour of rain. At 8 o'clock the pastor of the church in the person of Rev. J. S. McKenney introduced the speaker, Rev. Glashen, who rose and made a splendid address as he fully explained the aims and objects of the U N I A. Among those who had money to join were Rev. J. S. McKenney, pastor of church; Mrs. M. B. McKenney, the pastor's wife; Miss Laura Braselton, the Mr. Walker's wife; Miss Laura Davis, Miss Viola Walker, Graham Tuck and Mrs. Harriet Winston, the mother of the loyal member, Mr. Winston, who went with the commissioner. A division was then organized, and many promised to join at the next call meeting. Rev. McKenney was elected president; a constitution was given to him by Hon. Glashen, and all instructions. The pastor's wife made an address, advising the people to get together. The meeting closed and the members promised to work hard for a charter. Rev. Glashen returned Sunday morning and lectured at Liberty Hall, Knoxville, Tenn., at 5 o'clock. He took in fifteen new members, and left for Mascott, Tenn., eighteen miles away, the same evening. He lectured at the Baptist Church to over 200, also organized another division. Officers were appointed to collect joining fees. Rev. Glashen was called to five other places, but time and money just now won't allow him to accept. W. McCODE, Gen. Sea. YONKERS DIV. HOLDS STIRRING MEETING YONKERS, N Y —Division No. 647 Universal Negro Improvement Association, unveiled their charter June 20. It seemed to be one of the most happy moments of the division's life and of the citizens of the community. The meeting opened with the oda, "Greenland's Ice Mountains," by the president Rev N Jom, followed by music of the Black Star Line Band, after which the chaplain, Rev W M Hawkins, spoke on Be a Man. To be a man is to act as a man. Don't run with the fox and hold in with the hounda, as the U N I A calls for the best soldiera. There was much applause. Next on the program was Rev Green, of Chapter No. 2 of the U N I A League of No. 238 East 127th street New York city. His subject was God's Chosen Man. There was one God, one aim, one destiny. But I must say there was one man God chose—Hon. Marcus Garvey, who is clamoring for a flag of citizenship of all Negroes of America and the world. And he also appealed to all organizations to attend the third annual convention in Liberty Hall, New York city, August 1 to 11. Next on the program was Bister Rev Mittle E Jackson, president of the Women's Auxiliary of the U N L A. who stated that we are just making up our minds to come together and that we should strive for a decent home and a parlor. Next on the program was Rev E A W Cook and Rev Jackson, followed by Capt Nickens of the U N I A Legion of New York city, who made a stirring address on the aims and objects of the Legion. Next came the Hon R. L. Poston, second assistant secretary general of the U N I A His subject was, "The Negro Place In the Sun." He said I would to have some attention paid to me some time. Music was rendered by the Black Star Line Band and refreshments were served at 12 p. m. The meeting adjourned in order THE U. N. I. A. IN INGENIO RIO CANTO OPENS DOORS AGAIN ORIENTE, Cuba, July 10 1522 — The doors of Liberty Hall have been closed for quite a long time, but on Sunday evening, July 9, after contemplation had removed hesitating doubts from the minds of the people, all roads again led to Liberty Hall, and for the third time it had become the scene of social activity. At 7:30 o'clock the president Mr. Henry Ramey, declared the meeting open with the singing of the costymary ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain." Mr C H Hepburn led in prayer, after which the president made some preliminary remarks, at the conclusion of which he asked the audience to give strict attention 'to the talks of the speakers as well as to the reading of the Scriptures by Cyril H. Hepburn, who acted as chaplain. He read from the Epistles to the Hebrews, chapter 11, and lectures on part of the 24th and 25th verses. "By faith Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season." Among the speakers were Messrs D Green, C Solomon, C H Hepburn, H J Ramayam and Miss G Allen Miss Allen who had just returned from a visit to Jamaica, gave a short but impressive address. "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me" and "Hark! Behold the Morning," rendered by Miss A Huddle and Mrs E Ellis, respectively, were well received. All members in arrivals have acquired their accounts with the division and Garveylam has taken a firmer grip on all Negroes here. The Ethiopian anthem was sung, and the audience dispersed with great rejoicing CYRIL H HEPBURN Assistant Secretary NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Black Star Line, Inc., will be held in New York City, July 26th, 1922 at eight o'clock, P.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. 52-54-56 West 135th Street NEW YORK CITY, N. Y., U. S. A. GOD SAVE AFRICA! LONG LIVE THE NEGRO BACK 10 THE U. N. L. A. IN TELA, SPANISH HONDURAS A mass meeting extraordinary of the Tah Division to transact some very important business was convened in their local Liberty Hall on Wednesday, June 23, with the High Commissioner and Division President, Dr. D. E. Horpa, in the chair. The opening ode, from Greenland's Icy Mountain," was sung when Chaplain Brown led in deposition, and the business of the evening was entered into. The coming of the third international convention formed the leading topic of the evening. The president, in a neat speech, encouraged the members to do that they can to collect convention funds, which must be forwarded to the current body through the general secretary, who informed him that he had already sent up $26.70 to the Secretary general's office, along with the names of the collectors and donors. The president then asked the secretary to read the program of the coming convention, and asked the members to so their bit in order to send a delegate, as that delegate would be in place to voice the feelings and sentiments of the Negroes of the Republic of Honduras. He would be in a position to say before the convention their needs socially, economically, intellectually, politically and otherwise, and he believes that some good will be achieved he said that he is fully aware of the present economical depression in Tela, but if all the members will unite we will be able to send a delegate. The members pledged themselves to do all they can. The last item disposed of was the appointing of a president, whose duty it shall be to shape and guide the destiny of the division during Mr. Thompson absence at the convention. Mr. E. M. Stewart, first vice-president, was presented, and having received the charge, the members accepted their new leader with a spirit of enthusiasm and promised him support. He in turn pledged to do all in his power to uphold the prestige of this division and the organization in general. Mr. Stewart was one among the many who caught the division, and on that memorable Sunday afternoon, June 20, 1920, enrolled his name as one of the New Negroes. He has ever since exemplified himself as an earnest, energetic and useful member. Having gained the confidence of the members he was elected second vice-president of this division. Mr. James Kennedy, first vice-president, having left those parts, Mr. Stewart assumed the place of first vice-president. Now that Mr. Thorpe is leaving for the convention the members thought they could have none other than Mr. Stewart. Mr. Stewart has stood the onslaughts and reproaches of the enemies, and we hope that he will be true to his trust and give a good account of himself. Before the close of the meeting the delegate emphasized on the necessity of sending exhibits to the convention, and a few members promised to do what they can, thus bringing an enjoyable evening to its close. The chaplain pronounced benediction. F A VERNAL General Secretary. NEW ORLEANS PREACHER COMMENDED FOR AIDING LOCAL CHAPTER Hon. Rev Thos. Clarke. New Orleans.

Inviting Negroes to join the association, teaching race pride and many other leading and primary facts relative to the uplift of the race. She expressed the seal of our illustrious leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, in carrying out the work. She also pointed the heavens to the naming convention, and showed where it is necessary to send a delegate to this convention. The Executive Secretary also spoke on the meeting of its delegate to the convention. Other speakers assisted in making the meeting a very lively and interesting one.

CONVENTION FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1922 Every Negro Asked to Contribute to Help Make Convention a Success SEND IN YOUR DONATION NOW For the purpose of meeting the expenses of the Third International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association today opens its "Convention Collecting List," asking every Negro in the world to contribute a dollar or more to meet the expense of this gigantic movement. The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention on the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dominion. Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work.

IN SAN MANUEL, CUBA Our usual Sunday mass meeting was called to order on May 14 at 4 P. M. by our worthy president, T. S. Norman. There were present in our midst visitors of the New York Local, in the person of Mme. and Professor Alexander also Mr. White. After the opening remarks had been made by our president, he then read the credentials of the visitors, which are signed by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and indorsed by the High Commissioner for Cuba. They were then introduced to the audience by our president, who in behalf of the members tendered words of welcome to the visitors. The professor then responded and at the same time gave a stirring address, taking for his topic "Vision," who kept his hearers spellbound for fifty minutes. The next speaker was Mme. Alexander, who also gave a stirring address, pointing out especially to the women of her race the necessity of sticking together and supporting this grand and noble cause. She also pointed out to the mothers the great responsibility that rests on their shoulders for the training of the younger generation. Our meeting was then brought to a close by singing of the Ethiopian anthem and benediction. On the 28th inst. our Liberty Hall was graced again by the presence of the professor, who stormed his hearers with the spirit of true Garveyism. He was so logical and spicy in his remarks that his hearers never got weary listening to him. We were only too sorry when the train for Delicia had arrived by which the professor had to go. Never before had we been treated with such a feast as the professor gave us, and we appreciate his visit highly. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for space. I remain. R. MALCOLM. Lady Secretary.

JULY 29. 1922 Complense hoy diez años que en este Oriente perdiera la vida uno de los hombres que protestara del estado desastroso por el cual pasara una raza de hombres abnegado, quienes todo lo sacrificaron por cooperar al mas imperioso mandato de la inmutable ley divina, la libertad. El Programa de la Tercera Convención Anual de Nuestra Organización Ha Sido Preparado de Antemano—Los Pueblos Negros Del Universo Se Beunirán en Este Cónclave, el Cual Será la Mecca Intellectual de Nuestra Raza—El Futuro Educativo, Politico y Religioso de la Raza Será Discutido Por Profecionales, Invitados al Efocto—De la Convención Procedera una Delegación Que Se Avistará Con Los Gobierno Del Antiguo Continente Fué el 17 de Julio de 1912 cuando la ingratitud de los mortales arrancó para siempre la vida de laquel gran general, de aquel patriota, Pedro ibonet Echevarria, gladiador sublime quien sintiendo correr por sus vena la ardiente sangre de sus antepasados, lanzose al campo de batailla para demostrar al mundo que un pueblo de la America, explotador por la vil tutela del coloniaje, se disponia a ser libre aunque para ello fuera necesario sacrificar su propia existencia. La tercera Convención Anual Internacional de los Pueblos Negros del mundo empezará el primero de Agosto próximo, en el Liberty Hall de ciudad de Nueva York, Estados Unidos de America, en la cual millares de delegados representarán los intereses de los cuatrocientos millones de miembros de nuestra raza. Adquirida la ansiada independencia y cuando el cielo de la patria libertada aparecía diáfano y bello; cuando en el torbellino oleaje de la vida, la nación marchaba felizmente por el camino del progreso sin interrupción extraña, surgió el antagonismo, surgió el desprecio y surgieron las persecuciones sobre aquella raza, la cual en mas de cien combates demostro su valor temerario, afrontando al fiero León de España, que acosado por el impetu de aquellos hijos de la gran Ethiopia, cruzó de nuevo los mares refugiándose alla en su madrequera, lamentando la pérdida de una de sus joyas mas preciosas en el nuevo continente. Por algún tiempo la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha venido anunciando la celebración de esta gran convención, siendo razonable asumir el que los Negros del universo no hayan dejado de escuchar esta llamada de salvación. Ha llegado la hora verdadera para que los pueblos de nuestra raza en el universo, de un modo unisono, hagan algo en beneficio propio. La celebración de esta reunión universal será una espléndida oportunidad para que nuestra raza pueda demostrar su inteligencia y su ability. Quién no se sentiria feliz residiendo en un pueblo libre, ejercitando todos los derechos que corresponden a sus ciudadanos? Negros de Cuba, Negros del universo, de nosotros mismos depende el mejorar la actual condición de nuestra raza. Unámonos al gran movimiento, obra del Honorable Marcus Garvey y teniendo como recuerdo impercedero la calda de los que se sacrificaron por imponer la ley de la igualdad, colquemos un ramo de siemprevivas en la tumba donde reposan los venerables restos de aquellos martires, como manifestación de duelo y de reconocimiento. En la revisión de los distintos puntos del programa que ha de someterse a la convención notamos que uno de los mas importantes es la discusión del futuro religioso de nuestra raza. Con tal objeto nuestra organización ha pasado invitación a un gran número de ministros de todas sextas y religiones, quienes vendrán preparados a exponer sus doctrinnas, esparciendo luz en un asunto que requiere una debida observación y un estudio minucioso. Otro punto de suma importancia vital corresponde a la discusión del futuro educativo de nuestra raza. Hasta el presente hemos sido simples esclavos intelectuales de las prédicas y enseñanzas de las otras razas. Millares de licenciado en derecho, doctores y educacionistas han sido tambien invitados, con el objeto de que ellos nos iluminen en esta question. Ramon G. Apesteguia Hernandes Santiago, Oriente, Cuba. La Restauración de Santo Domingo Los treinticuatro puntos del programa de la convención son todos de gran interés y es de esperarse que los delegados tratarán estos puntos con la consideración que cada caso requiera. En todas partes vemos la manifestación del interés por el éxito de esta asamblea universal. Corresponde a todos y cada uno de los miembros de la raza el aportar como responsabilidad impuesta por el bien común. Que el presidente no simpatiza con la injustificable ocupación de Santo Domingo por Mr. Wilson es evidente a juzgar por su ultimo plan para llevar a cabo la evacuación de aquella república por las fuerzas americanas. El retardo registrado desde que Mr. Harding ocupó la primera magistratura hase debido a la lentitude en el acuerdo sobre el procedimiento para la desocupación. Todas las Divisiones y Sucursales de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra han sido invitadas para que envien sus Delegados a la Convención, así como también un gran número de sociedades y organizaciones sívicas y políticas. Esta invitación se ha hecho extensiva a todos y cada uno de los miembros de nuestra raza, con el objeto de que nadie se considere pasado por desapercibido. El nuevo plan prescribe un gobierno provisional, compuesto por dominicanas. Las autoridades americanas entregarán al ejecutivo provisional el palacio nacional y concentrarán las tropas americanas de ocupación en uno o dos puntos, cementando la vigilancia policía de la isla a fuerzas dominicanas. Serán entonces elegidos delegados dominicanas para negociar con los representantes americanos un tratado que haga permanentes las cláusulas en que se convino en 1907 en las que prescribe protección para los prestamos extrangeros y la validación de los actos del departamento ejecutivo de la isla durante la ocupación americana. Cuando este tratado haya sido ratificado y elegido un presidente titular las fuerzas americanas se retirará completamente Esta convención será la verdadera representación de nuestra raza en general y sus delegados vendrán a ella de Africa, Australia, Asia, Europa, Centro y Sur America, Estados Unidos, Cánada y las Antillas. Queda a nuestro cargo, por medio de un esfuerzo unido, el causar una gran impresión ante la opinión pública que observa todos nuestros movimientos de adelanto en todas direcciones. Cuando consideramos que esta convención ha de enviar al extranjero una delegación que represente sus intereses en la Liga de Naciones y se aviste con cliertos gobiernoes de Europa en beneficio general de la raza, notamos que una gran cantidad de financia será necesaria para sufragar los gastos que dicha comisión ocasiona, en la realización del programa de antemano preparado. Somos de opinión que aquellos que por alguna causa Justificada se vean imposibilitados para asistir a esta magna reunión, pueden ayudar al éxito de esta, cooperando moral y financieramente, así como también advocando el interés de nuestra organización en cada comunidad. Es improbable que este arreglo sea satisfactorio para todo Santo Domingo. Una de las razones del fracaso de las negociaciones anteriores llevadas a cabo por la administración Harding fue la oposición de los dominicanos a ratificar los actos del gobierno americano de ocupación. Estos actos comprenden asignaciones para construcción de caminos, que han encontrado al parecer oposición en grupos determinados de dominicanos. Para investigar el verdadero estado de la opinión pública dominicana, el presidente Harding ha designado a Mr. Sumner Wells, ex-jefe de la division latinomericana del departamento de estado, enviado especial con el rango de ministro plenipotenciario. Esta no será una reunión en donde iremos a suplicar. Los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del universo por medio de sus representantes, van a tomar una determinación con el propósito de mejorar las actuales circunstancias. ¡Ya basta de engaños! ¡Ya basta de reverencias, sombrero en mano! Cuatrocientos millones de Negros tienen que organizarse inmediatamente para así poder sacudir el yugo de sus opresores. La evacuación de Santo Domingo parece con consiguiente muy próxima. Al ocupar le república Mr. Wilson demostro desprecio a las obligaciones de los tratados y la de los rechos soberanos de una mación amiga. Al desechar tal labor Mr. Harding demostrará con hechos a los hispanoamericanos que los Estados Unidos no temen dehacer un entuero. Interesante Asamblea Con una asistencia bastante selecta celebró en el testo Municipal de San Juan, la Asamblea de la División número 45 de San Juan de la "Universal Negro Improvement Association". El presidente, señor Bishop hizo uso de la palabra leyendo lo que es la Asociación y al mismo tiempo cuáles son sus propósitos Dicho manifesto contine enterasantes datos. Toccole el turno al señor Conrado Rosario, quien improvisó un bello discuro demostrativo del esfuerzo que tienen que hacer los hombres de raza negra para con seguir su libertad politica, economía y socialmente. El señor Rosario fue muy aplaudido. Siguió en el uso de la palabra el señor Mathews, quien interpreta por el señor Rosario hizo una extensa exposición de datos sobre lo que es la U. N. I. A. acompañando su discuro de precio san anecdota. Hiza una extensa de finición de lo que es el amor a la patria y el interes que debe tener cada hombre en tener su patria y pensar siempre en ella en donde quiera que se encunrete. Fué presentado el Sr. De Bourg, representante para las Antillas y Sur America y Organizador de la "Universal Negro Improvement Association". Interpretado por el señor Rosario hizo historia de sus actuaciones como tal Organizador y Representante de esa Asociación. Sutoria fué amena e interesante el señor De Bourg es un hombre de vasta intelectualidad y de una cultura extraordinaria. Sus dotes oratorias son excelentes. Los organizadores de un amal de esa asociación en Puerto Rico hicieron buñnero de adeptos en dicha Asamblea, y les auguran los más lisonerios exitos. —El Tiempo, San Juan, P. R. Hon. Marcus Garvey, Nuevo Moises Quien logro en menos de dos años mover mas de cien millones de seres pertenecientes a la Raza Negra, bien puede compararse con el santo varon que sacó de Egipto al pueblo que iba tras la tierra prometida. Gran internacionalista y sabio filósofa, ha creado a la vez cierto número de industrias, para que la raza halle asi nombre, ocupación y al cródito, mientras l'egala el dia de la esperada vuelta al seno de la estirpe The Negro World, organo de La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, fundado y publicado en Nueva York, trae extensa información en u'g'es, sobre tan importante hombre y su meritoria oba universal.—El Anunciador, Barranquilla, Colombia. El Doctor Bernardo Ruiz Suarez en la Convención Como una nota de verdadera actualidad, no soiamente para los elementos de color latino-americanos residentes en esta ciudad, sino para los Delegados procedentes de Centro y Sud América que asistirán a la Convención que la "Universal Negro Improvement Association" celebrará durante todo el mes de Agosto próximo, es la noticia de que el Dr Bernardo Ruiz Suarez, pronunciará una interesante conferencia en español, acerca de las condiciones en que vive la población de color cubana. El Dr. Ruiz Suarez que reside en esta ciudad, con oficina en el No 229 de la calle 140, es uno de los jóvenes que en sincero afan se consagra al estudio de los problemas raciales que afectan no solo a las republicas hispano-americanas, sino a los Estados Unidos de Norte America Su último libro intitulado "The Color Question in the Two Americas" es la prueba mas evidente des sus conocimientos en tan intimados asuntos. Sin hacer por el momento juicio critico alguno del libro a que hemos hecho referencia, nos permitimos decir que es por excelencia un libro útil para cuantos se interesen en los estudios sociales. Por tal motivo, la participación de tan ilustre personalidad en la Convención del proximo Agosto, y sobre todo, su disertación en español, es una nota de color simpático que no pasará inadvertida. Cubanas Distinguidas Después de permanecer un alfo en Italia y hacer un recorrido por las principales capitales europeas, Parla, Berlin y Roma, han sido huéspedes de la ciudad de Nueva York, en el Hotel Holga, las distinguidas damas cubanas Sra. y Srta. Galvez. Ellas pertenecen a lo mas distinguido de la sociedad cubana. La Srta. Galvez es, como cantante, una estrella del presente y del futuro, sus facultades sobre salen de manera brillante y no está lejano el dia en que la fama de esta distinguidisima juven, se extienda a través del orbe, para galardon de la patria cubana. Su padre, el Coronel Galvez, es un politico prominente en la lala de Cuba. Durante el gobierno del General Menocal, desempeñó en la capital de la República un alto puesto de confianza. Hacemos votos por que tan distinguidas visitantes, tornen de nuevo a esta imperial ciudad. CORRESPONDENCIA Secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores República de Guatemala Número 511 New York, U. S.

Mr Marcus Garvey, President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, Ciudad de Nueva York. Admirado de vuestra grandeza y sabiduria, las que habéis puesto a la disposición de la raza a que perteneceís y daís honra, no he podido silenciar mi gran entusiasmo y por ello en esta humilde comunicación os envio mis puros afectos. Grande, mas que grande, titánica es vuestra obra. Muchos los escollos y numerosos los que envidianlos méritos y dones que os adornan, son los opositores a tan justa causa, mas sera en vano. Existe un Dios que castiga y destruye a los traidores para ejemplo de los pueblos. La historia dará fe de mis palabras. El Secretario de Estado Ira Como Delegado al Brasil El secretario de Estado, Mr. Charles Evans Hughes, según se declaró oficialmente en la Casa Blanca, irá en el mes de Septiembre a Rio de Janeiro, como jee de la delegación norteamericana a la exposición brasiliana. El jee del gabinete del presidente Harding, irá a la capital sudamericana acompañado por un almirante y un mayor general, así como de varios funcionarios oficiales. Commemorando el Dia de Ghandi Desde el 18 de Marzo, cuando Mahatma Ghandi fui aprehendido por el gobierno británico, en el décimo octavo día de cada mes, hase observado en toda la India una festividad que se denomina el dia de Ghandi. Es una celebración puramente espiritual, un día de plegarias y sacrificios. Cada nacionalista da un día de su salario a la causa de India libre, otra prueba del valor concreto de la reacción espiritual en la vida. El día de Ghandi ha sido adoptado por los nacionalistas egipcias por respeto a Mahatma y como medio de hacer avanzar la causa del nacionalismo egipcio. La observancia 11 mensual del dia de Ghani, ha sido ahora importada a los Estados Unidos. Boston va a presencial m seguida celebración tomando parte en ella varios prominentes americanos que han asumido la dirección baja lo auspicios de los amigos de la libertad de la India. Los simpatizadores en Nueva York comienzan la observancia del dia. Y asi la causa del nacionalismo, que es parte de la religión practica de America, que es la democracia, esta siendo ayudada por la reunión del este y de' oceste. El Informe Sobre la Cuestión Haitiana In informe del senado sobre la ocupación de Haiti tiene un defecto que reduce a la nada todas sus demas cualidades. Es un informe que parece escrito en la hipótesis de que nos encontráramos instalados en Haiti para siempre. ¿Es esa la opinión del comité? Si es así, entonces debiera hacerse tal declaración de manera abierta. Una definición categórica daria a los que entre nosotros no creen en la pretensión de convertirlos en imperialistas, la ocasion de ponerse en pis y hacer un recuento. Porque no puede haber política honorable o eficiente en Haiti hasta que sepamos si el objetivo de ea política es que los Estados Unidos permanezcan can Haiti o que Haiti sea devuelto a los haitímos. Propósitos Del Nuevo Gabinete Cubano En la primera sesión del nuevo gabinete cubano, el secretario de estado, Dr. Cespedes, manifestó al presidente Zayas que tanto el como los demás señores secretarios se daban cuenta de la trascendencia que para el porvenir de Cuba tenían las gestiones del gobierno en estos momentos y que siendo todos los componentes del consejo de secretarios patriotas convencidos de sus deberes para con la república, estaban firmemente resuelto a inspirar sus actos en los más grandes ideales del patriotismo, secundando con esto las orientaciones que tiene sefiladas en el mismo sentido el jefe del estado. El presidente, al contestar al secretario, expreso que consideraba muy beneficioso para la patria la absoluta identificación de propósitos que animaba a todo el gobierno.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General A PRE-CONVENTION APPEAL TO DISSENTERS, ANTAGONISTS, MISINFORMED AND ANTI-GARVEYITES, IN THE NAME OF OUR BROTHERS, THE 400,000,000 NEGROES OF THE WORLD By J. J. JACKBON TILFORD July 5, 1922 NEGROEB - When grave and weighty questions and sound and genuine measures are to be decided upon and employed for racial security and welfare high-minded and far-seeing people lay aside their petty jealousies class distinction, green-eyed envy discord and divisibility, and approach those problems that affect the entire race with a sole desire and determination to do only that which will solve that problem as they see it and bring the race of nation up to the desired status in human society that guarantees and assures that people protection and unconditional safety You will remember, during the World War of 1914, how the different nations and groups of nations who felt they had a common interest laid aside their partisanship, nativity and differences of every manner and made common cause through alliances and combinations. You will also remember when this country became involved through submarine warfare against American shipping, and when she began to prepare for the conflict you no doubt observed the great campaign of patriotism that was conducted in this country through preparedness parades. These parades were conducted throughout the large cities of the States, and in those great parades you saw men by the thousands, with flags floating in the breezes and bands playing military marches passionately. You saw those men marching through the principal streets of the city, and in the line of march there were men of every nationality, of every religious belief, every fraternal society and from nearly every section of the country and world. We saw the Negro, the Jew, the French, the Italian, the Slovak, the Irish and, yes, the Chinaman. We saw the Baptist, the Methodist, the Catholic, the Presbyterian and the atheist. We saw the Republican, the Democrat and the Socialist. We saw the Mason, the Odd Fellow, the K P and the Elk. These millions of men with different religious beliefs, different nationalities, different fraternal affiliations and different political opinions had all laid aside these differences and distinctions and were co-operating with each other and their brothers across the sea, in spite of these differences. In order that they might make common cause of what they thought was a menace to their welfare, their progress and their security. Among these millions of white soldiers were thousands of our own black boys in this country, who laid aside their differences and helped the white man to safeguard his institutions, and you will also remember it was about this time that one of our own brothers, under the spell of white psychology and fear of German militarism and economic supremacy, gave us the editorial—the "Close Ranks; Let Us Forget Our Grievances." One of our brilliant men who can easily sense the danger of the other fellow's position but is blind as the proverbial but when it comes to realizing or seeing the danger that awaits his own people. In this lesson that we learn from the psychology of the preparedness parades during war times, the lesson which teaches the subordination of petty differences, distinctions and imaginary unlikeness when the interest and welfare of a race or nation is at stake. Just before the calling of our great third international convention Negroes, as a result from such losses, should begin to prepare themselves psychologically; the Negro in all walks of life should lay aside the many differences that are imaginary and insignificant.

We ask you this question Negroes soberly and earnestly, thinking that you are men who are willing to seek and accept truth and arrive at it by logical reasoning. Answer this question in your own heart upon your honor and the duty you owe your children, your family and your race can you afford in the face of the past three hundred unhappy years, to go on and on drifting along in this same manner and dooming yourself your family, your race and the unborn children to a life of continued serfdom misery and economic slavery. What has become of the dignity of some of our black men and women? To what shameful pass has Negro come that he feels that other races must do for him the thing he should be man enough and proud enough to do for himself, if we are so weak and unintelligent and so unmanful that we cannot establish government and govern ourselves then let come what may we shall have to realign ourselves to the inevitable which is racial inferiority and slavery. Our Red, Black and Green should fly above a people free in Africa to fall with their pails in their own way) to create our own defense to protect our own people to demand our own rights, and not beg them like a cringing coward, but to go forth and onward in our own way) unmolested and unhampered This is the policy of the U N I A this is our program for security groes, we ourselves are the creators and guardians of our security and upon our devotion and faithfulness to the great cause depends the future welfare and security of the race.

The entrance or matriculation standard required of the diploma students will be that of the Cambridge senior local examination. Only students holding that certificate or its equivalent will be exempted from the entrance examination of the college. It is desirable that this restriction be made public in West Indian schools. More definite information as to a final date of opening courses of study fees, etc. will be made known to West Indian governments and educational institutions in due course.
