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.

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.

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." Rep. Johnson's Vindication And then Rev. 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.

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.

Victoria Earle Matthews, one of xr early newspaper women, who made ome pretensions to authorship, and whe bad written and published « clever Utele story called “Aust Linda” Bhs was also president of the Negro Wom- en's Loyal League of New York City 1 bad called at Cedar Hill to pay my feapects to Mra. Matthews, who was ‘viatting Washington for the Orst time. I reached Cedar BM 4 fox minutes after § p.m and seat In my card. In @S2t moments Mra. Matthews, accom- panied by Mr. Douglasa came cut upon the veranda, Mre.~ Matthews assuming that Mr. Dougiass and | were strangers, started to introduce us, and oth he and I laughed. “Ob, you are acquainted, then?” said Mra Matthews, “Yes.” answered Mr Dvagiaes. “Brother Bruce and I are e004 friends.” ‘The weather at that season deing quite warm, Mr, Douglass suggested. when he noticed that Mra Matthews was about to enter the house, that as It was covler on the veranda, we would find tt much more comfortable there. ‘There was a dig wicker setter, a num- er of comfortable arm chairs and one or two rockers on the veranda and. Delng a member of the Bone of Rest, I took ene of the rockera Mr Douglass end his guest aitting on the setter Phe veranda, as everyone knows who Bas ever visited Cedar Hill, commands B magnificent view of the city. and Is, about that hour of the day in the sum- mer ‘one of the shadiest and ‘places about the old mansion. it ane end of the veranda was + ham- of substantial make in which . Douglass anid be sometimes re- Felined “when he felt laxy.” and un the Foor near the door were tw large Gumbbella which he said he used to Bet up an appetite for breakfast. “I excrelse every day.” he said, “and I find that it doce mem great deal of good and makes me fee! younger and more vigorous.” Mir. Douglass was fond of the com- pany of young people, and at the time of my viait to Codar HIM there was & Considerable company of young men end women in the rear playing oro- gust on the lawn, a gams of which Mr. Dougisss was very fond and which be played with unusual skill, using the mallet with which he worked as @ canker in the abipyards in Baltimore. "Ip the course of the evening be told us many things concerning his early fe as @ slave, and spoke feclinsty of bis last interview with his mother; me he fel" and what he felt on parting r. 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 (0 whom his master had hired him, nd who, in endeavoring to fox him. feiss, aml was Knocked down several umes by him. Thero was a amile of victory on his face as he recalled that inoident, followed by « pained expres- gion as be told how three or four rough white men, coming on to the scene, overpowered him, knocked bim down, and how the man to whom he was hired kicked him In the face with the heel of his rough boot with such toroe that the blood spurted from the wonnd ike water. “This man.” said Mr. Douglass, “ls now @ pauper, and he has only recently appealed to me fer aid, and I have been assisting him ovary month oF #0.” Mr. Dougiass in his early life bad peen local preacher in the Methodist Church, which was then under white pisbops. For reasons which must be upparent, he severed his connection with the organisation, The attitude of| he Methodist Church was not in jarmony with that of the opponents sf alavery. Mr. Dougiass told us that ke never could understand how these Methodist bishops and preachers could be such hypocrites as to pretend to love Jeaua 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 velna “You young people.” he con- cluded, “are living in Paradise com- pared to the Hell through which the slaves have passed” I recall that @ few weeks after bis return from Hay, to which country he had been accredited as UB Minister Resident and Consul-General by President Harrison, Mr C A. Jobn- dou a5¢ mysaif, who sere thea con [ducting the Natlonal Capital News ‘Byndicate, called on him to get ao eters for which a big Western paper had promised « very attractive ‘price. The Mole Bt Nicholas affair ‘was then one of the leading diplomatic questions of the day. The papers were full of it and Mr Douglass’ posi Uon was a very delicate and ticklish one, he being of the same race and color of the Haytians, some of the hewepapers were so uncharitable as to intimate that Mr. Douglass was lukewarm on the proposition which this government had made to Hayt! for the acquisition of the Mole st Nicholan Admiral Gherara) was ac- cordingly sent to Haytt as Commie- sioner Extraordinary to do what the administration considered, Mr Doug tase had Yaiied or refused to do, viz. seoure the consent of the Haitian Gov. ernment to the cession of ihe Moule But Admiral Gherardi, like a certain king, marched up the hill and then marched down again, oF like that wall known rallroad man, was “off again, gone again, on again” Finnigan When Admiral Gherardi arrived at Port au Prince and sent his card in (o the President, Mr Firmin, the then Becretary of Stato for ihe little Black Republic, vised it and dispatched a messenger to the distinguished visitor with @ request that he state the nature of his business with the President of Haytl, When informed that he had been sent by the President of the United Btates to discuns the question of the cession of the Mole Bt. Nichloas, he was told that the President of Hayt! could not discuss that queation with any representative of the United Btates except its duly accredited Minister. And then Admiral Ghorardi awaited the return of Mr. Minister Douglass from the United States whan ne was duly presented at Court by Mr Douglass, with the result that the Bfole was not ceded at that time. What ie 10 be 1s as Kipling would pay. “an- other story” Coming back to my story, I said to Mr. Jobnson: “Charley, the white correspondents have failed to draw Mr. Douglass out on this ques- Jon. I fect confident that ho will talk 0 us freely and explain and simplity much that seems inexplicable concern- ing ft. You do the talking. I'l take che noten Bo we jumped om a streat sar and went to Codar Hill It was a| fearTully hot day. When we arrived at tho house we saw Mr. Douglass sitting tn a big rocker on the verenda. He was dressed jn a roomy white duck wuit and wore a big Panama hat and was in excellent apirita. He received as with that rare grace and courtesy which are the hallmarke of the pol- shed gentleman. “Have seats, gontlomen,~he sald, mo- oning us to comfortable arm chairs, and turning to me he said, with « merry twinkle in his eyes: “Bruce- Grit,’ I know what brings you here. Tou scent a scoop. I declare you newspaper gentlemen are the most paterprising and persistent people in the world. No longer than test night representative of the New York World came all the way out here after 11 o'clock to Interview me, and I was sempelled to deny him the pleasure. | told him that the newspapers seemed 0 know more about the pending nogo- ations than either the President, the saying anything for publication abou the matter. The next day, to my sur prise, there was a column Interview which I never gave, printed In th World. It was for the most part 1 tumue of falsehoods. This kind o} Rewepaper enterprise quite surprises me. [ cannot understand It” Mr Johnson sald: afr., Douglass sre are here to talk with you on the same subject, and we promise you tha! Mf you will give us an Interview, we will not misrepresent you * “Well.” sald be in a fatherly way, I dont mind talking to you young men You must know that f feel very keenly the unjust and uncalled-for at- tacks which have been made upon me by some of the leading papers of the country They have charged me with Delng false to my obligations as a pub- Ho wMolal aad with eympatblaing with the Haytians In this controversy. It Is false, maliciously false. No man has been more loyal to bie country or to his convictions than myself. The Hay- (lane have the beat of the argument in thie discussion. They have right on thet side, and | 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 1 am the representative of this government at Haytl, { would not eacrifice my honor or my manhood for the best oMice In the world” Then he went on and told us the inside history of the Mole St Nicholas affair, Mr Johnaon piled him with ques. Hons and I wrote down the substance of the answers to them. Our interview lasted nearly an hour and ambraced the hletory of previous efforts made to acquire the Mole St Nicholas by treaty or otherwise by France and by this country years ago, because of Ite great atrategical value and importance When we had finished the interview we (ook our hats to go, saying we did not wish to further take up hig valuable time and thanked him for hia great courtesy (o us, told him how much we enjoyed the visit and his frank talk to us on this question Ho (old ua not to be In a hurry to go and requested us to accompany him 0 hia orchard, with which we com- plied. When we arrived there he filled our pockets with delicious peaches and we carried off a dozen hetween us, Inaide of us. Just as we were about to say good- yye for th@ second time, Mr Doug- jaas made a comical grimace and said. “Bruce-Grit,’ I noticed that you were taking some notes while Bro. John- son, our friend here—our legal frlend— onducted the examination of the wit- ness and I may say to you and Bro, Johnaon that the conversation which we have had Is not Intended for pub- cation. I have some idea of writing on the subject for the North Ameri- can Magazine and 1 shall incorporate most of what I have said to you In my article.” Here was where the coopera got scooped. I opened my notebook and read at Mr Douglass’ request tho gist of the questions pro- pounded and tho answers given by nim. He amiled approvingly and sald ‘You have done well :0 follow me #0 \ccurately. I salute you' Dont quote ne.” I tore up my notes In his prea- nce and Johnson told him that we ould not honorably print the story in he face of his objection, and he hanked us and bade us a hearty good evening, waving hie broad-brimmed Panama as we descended the steps to he main road.

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.

LA GRAN RADA TENDRA LUGAR A LA 1.30 P. M., EL DIA PRIMERO DE AGOSTO. LA RECEPCIÓN INAUGURAL SE EFECTUARÁ EN EL CASTILLO DEL REGIMIENTO NO. 14 AVE. Y CALLE 34, A LAS 8 DE LA NOCHE, DONDE MILLARES DE PERSONAS SE REUNIRAN PARA ESCUCHAR AL GRAN ORADOR DE LA RAZA, HABLAR AO QUE THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. 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. A En contestación la atenta comunicación de Ud., fechachal el 29 de Mayo próximo anterior, tengo el guesto de participarle que el Gobierno de Guatemala, por acuerdo emitido el día de hoy por el organo de Secretaria, ha resuelto aceptar la invitación para hacerse representar en la Tercera Convención Internacional de los Pueblos Negros del Mundo, por celebrarse del lo al 31 de Agosto del presente año. en la ciudad de New York; y nombrar como Delegado por Guatemala al Señor Doctor do Eduardo Aguirre Velásquez, Consul General en New York.

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.

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.
