The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XII. No. 25 GRAND OPENING CONVENTION FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: On Tuesday, the 1st inst., the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world opened in New York. It was a day never to be forgotten. Hundreds of thousands of people participated in and viewed the great celebrations that marked the opening day. Men and women traveled thousands of miles to take part in the greatest demonstration of modern times. The spectacle of the parade, the opening service at Liberty Hall and the grand demonstration at the 71st Regiment Armory at night will be talked of for many a year. The Negro at the Helm The whole demonstration was an inspiration to the Negro race. It was a presentation, as intense as it was orderly, of the viewpoint and the hope, the ambition and the determination of the present-day Negro. No man with one drop of Negro blood in his veins could dwell upon the epochal event unmoved. It recalls to mind the ancient glories of Ethiopia and points the way to a brighter future. The grand significance of the whole affair resides in the fact that in all that was done and in all that was said the Negro played the leading role. Unlike many other Negro conventions and meetings where men of alien races acted as chairmen, masters of ceremonies and principal speakers, this occasion gave to the world conclusive proof that the Negro is capable of handling his own affairs. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is determined to teach the Negro race self-reliance, and no one who witnessed the events of the great opening day could come to any other conclusion than that the Negro has made a wonderful step forward within the last five years. Beware of Schemers! The convention is just started, and, from all indications, we are going to have a month of constructive legislation. The calibre of the deputies and delegates to this convention is such as to All Roads from the Four Corners of the 31st of August, 1922. If You Haven't Seen Me Be in Line for the Parade at 1.30 P.

MARCUS GARVEY MAKES APPEAL TO LOYALTY OF DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES TO RACE CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM TO BE PUT OVER—ALL NEGROES SHOULD HELP assure the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at large that great will be the results of this congress. It is true that among the many delegates and deputies will be found unscrupulous and unworthy men who will try to put over their own personal schemes and who will endeavor to exploit the innocence of the majority of the delegates and deputies for their election to office, but the membership can rest assured that no stone will be left unturned to unearth the plots and schemes that will be engineered by ignoble men to get into positions which they are not competent of filling. Come Now Come Now The items to be discussed are of vital interest to the race and will call for the highest intelligence and statesmanship on the part of the delegates and deputies to carry out effectively the highest intention behind the program. Those delegates who did not reach New York by the 1st of August are requested to make immediate arrangements for attending the remaining sessions of the convention, which will sit for thirty-one days and thirty-one nights, closing on the 31st inst. It is expected that over one hundred thousand delegates and deputies will attend during the month. Those who can make it possible to attend the early sessions are advised to do so, as important committees will be appointed and elected during the early stages of the convention.

A large amount of money, is needed to finance the work of the organization during the present month, and members and friends will do well to send in their contributions to headquarters. Each Division and Chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should hold continuous meetings for the entire month, and a concerted program should be rendered on the night of the 30th for the purpose of raising funds-to help the parent body, put over the program that will be delegated to it by the convention.

Moral and Financial Support All members and friends and well-wishers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are again reminded to do their best, morally and financially, in helping the organization. Each and every one should contribute to the African Redemption Fund and the Convention Fund for 1922.

DIVINE SERVICES IN LIBERTY HALL MARK FORMAL OPENING OF THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Presence of His Excellency the Potentate and His Excellency the Provisional President of Africa, and Other High Officials of the U. N. I. A., Arrayed in Resplendent Uniforms of Their Respective Offices, Adds to Brilliancy and Solemnity of Occasion HON. FRANCIS P. BENT, DIRECTOR OF INVESTIGATIONS OF THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE AND APPORTIONMENT, REPRESENTING MAYOR HYLAN, WELCOMES DELEGATES COMING FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD Potentate Delivers Annual Address, Reviewing Progress of Association During Past Year—Convention Sermon by Acting Chaplain-General Rev. James R. Diggs—Approximately 7,000 Persons Attend Services LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Tuesday, August 1, 1922 Following the custom initiated at the first Annual Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held two years ago, divine services were held here this morning, as a prelude to the opening of the Third International Convention of Negroes of the world. The weather was ideal for mid-summer, and there was unusually large attendance at the hall, it being estimated that approximately 7,000 persons were present. These services were part of the big program planned for the day. They were followed by a mammoth street parade and a monster mass meeting at 72d Regiment Armory, all as a great preliminary to the formal and official opening on the morrow of this the Third International Convention of Negroes of the world—a convention of conventions, covering as it will, a period of thirty-one days of deliberation by the leading men and women of the race from all parts of the world, with a view to constructing tangible plans for the material improvement of the Negro universally. Promptly at 10 o'clock the music of three bands—the Black Star Line Band, the U. N. I. A. Band and the Monarch Band—was heard, as a signal for the beginning of the processional, which beginning from the rear, south entrance of the hall slowly wended its way to seats upon the platform for the distinguished officials and visitors. First came the white-robed choir of thirty women and fifteen men, under the leadership of Prof Arnold J. Ford; then forty members of the Black Cross Nurses, all regaled in their white uniforms with black crosses on their arms and caps, then came the Chaplain to the Bishop, bearing the brass cruzier; then the Acting-Chaplain General. The Most Reverend James R. Grigga, Dean of the College Dept. of a Southern University; then the other principal officials of the association, among them being Hon. S. H. Haynes, Registrar; Hon. S. H. Tobitt, Commissioner for South American Provinces; Father A. H. Maloney, Hon. U. S. Poston, Minister of Industries; Hon. J. B. Yearwood, Assistant Secretary General; Hon. Adrian Johnson, Speaker in Convention; Hon. R. L. Poston, Second Assistant Secretary General; Hon. F. W. Ellegor, High Commissioner; Hon. Vernal Williams, Acting Counselor General; Hon. Dr. J. D. Gibson, Surgeon General; Hon. Henrietta Vinton Davis, International Organizer; Hon. Sidney de Bourg, leader of the Eastern Province of the Indies; Hon. G. E. Stewart, High Chancellor; Hon. Wm. H. Ferris, Assistant President General; Hon. F. A. Toote, Secretary General; Hon. G. O. Mark, Supreme Deputy; Hon. J. W H. Eason, leader of American, Negroes; His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General and Provisional President of Africa; Hon. Gabriel O. Johnson, High Potentate and Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia. There were also present and on the platform Hon. G. E. Carter, special assistant to the President General; Hon. John E. Bruce, and Hon. Duse Mahomed Ali, author and one-time editor of the African Times and Orient Review published in England. In addition to these persons there were in attendance at the divining service many distinguished citizens and public men from near and far, chief among whom was Hon. Francis P. Bent, Director of Investigations of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the City of New York. Mr. Bent represented Mayor John F. Hylan, to whom an invitation was sent to be present and to welcome the delegates in the name of the city of New York, being impossible, owing to previous engagements for the Mayor to respond in person. Mr. Benton was the first speaker, and was introduced to the vast assemblage in appropriate words by the Hon. Marous Garay. Following is Mr. Bent's address of welcome: Mayor Hylan Representative Speaks. Mr. President General, officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, delegates to this convention and Friends. Mayor Hylan has asked me to come here this morning, first, to express his thanks to the committee for the very kind invitation that was received for him, and, secondly, to express his remarks that a previous engagement presented, he being with him, has he has delegated to me the honor of welcoming you here in the city of the city of New York to defile his invitation—(applause)—by a man and have come from all parts of the United States, all parts of this continent, north and south and from various parts of the world. Quotes from Letter of Invitation to the Mayer In the letter that your committee was kind enough to send the Mayor the President General stated that he was directed to ask the Mayor to open this convention and to extend a welcome, "because," he says, "it is felt that you. Mayor Hyllan, are one of the friends of the Negro race upon whom we can always depend to say a word of encouragement and help on occasions of this kind, and I feel that, in view of what the people of Ireland did last November, that there is a general feeling of this kind—that we have in Mayor Hyllan one of the best friends of the colored races New York city has ever knight." (Applause.) Representative Conventions Always Welcome Here We are glad always to welcome conventions to this city, because we are proud of New York, and I am sure that pride is shared by every resident of Harlem. We are proud to have people come here representing various orders and organizations that have for their object the uplift of the human race, whether white or black, and see the things that we have in New York, and I feel certain that wherever the delegates to this convention may come from they can see that the people in Harlem are the most contented, the most happy and perhaps situated as well or better than is the case on the part of the colored people in other parts of the world. We are endeavoring at all times—I say "we," for not alone the city administration, but the people of New York city as well, are proud of the conditions that prevail in Harlem, because at times we have read of the sorrow and troubles and riots and so on in other sections of this country, aye, even in the capital city itself. But, thanks to the intelligent people of Harlem, we have had no such troubles here, and I am sure that, after looking over this great audience, these bright, intelligent, determined people of Harlem, they are determined that the good things that they now enjoy will always prevail. Belleva Convention Will Result in Great Good Tam also certain that this con- tention being held in this neighborhood will result in great good to your people in all parts of the country. (Applause—(applause))—because the de- legates that come here cannot help but sed the things that you have; they cannot help but observe how you live and how you observe and respect the law; they cannot help or fail to see that you have colored policemen on the outside, who are polite and kind, and that they have no trouble at all, they cannot fail to see our beautiful parks, to which every one has access, as well as our libraries, our schools, our institutions of higher learning, where the humblest child can go and get the best education. (Applause.) In talking with the President-General, he informs me that you have delegates here from as far away as Africa, and I could not help but observe—to reflect, rather—what a vast difference there will be among your people a hundred years hence. And a hundred years is but a short time in the eyes of the Supreme Architect of the Universe. A hundred years ago there were men coming from Africa, but they did not come of their own free will; they did not travel on ships and enjoy the comforts that the men who today have come from those shores came in and enjoy. That, mark you, shows the progress of the times, and that rate of progress is bound to continue, and such conventions as this are bound to do more to help bring courage and increased and increasing prosperity and THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 Sidelights on the Parade One of the editors of the Negro World regulars and undistinguished rubbed elbows with that stratum of society the Socialists like to label the 'proletariat' in order to get an unturned carousel of public opinion on Garvey and the constitution. Quite a true neutral, that is, folks who up to eight o'clock Monday night, thought they'd keep out of the I. N. I. A. boisterously came out and vanely said a "mouthful" as to just what they thought of Garvey and the I. N. I. A. One chap, a large, husky tobacco chewer, who wore his hat like a Levan, as the parade swung into Seventh avenue gave us a slant as to how he stood on the thing. "Brother, I may be blind but I can't see nobody right now who is Garvey's superior. He may be compromised with the Ku Klux, as some felks say, but I know one thing—you can't unhorse Garvey. I've seen you all, and Garvey is my choice. Don't you tell me nothing different." Again, as our literary adventurer tried to keep pace with the marshal's Shetland pony, he ran into a corpulent lady, who, from all intents and purposes, might be the State grand matron of a big lodge somewhere in Ohio. "Mister, look out-a mall way. Don't let me walk all over you. Ah don't want to lose sight of me sweetheart, Marcus." happiness to the Negro, than anything else can do. Proud of America We are proud of America whether we live here, or in other states, and I am sure that you want to join with me in those feelings shared and expressed so well by Daniel Webster when he said — "The sun in its course visits no land more free, more happy more lovely, than this our own country." Secret of Mayor Hylan's Success I was pleased when entering the hall this morning to observe that you were opening your Convention with songs of praise to the Almighty, and offering prayers to God asking his aid and benediction. Also, I observed that in your prayer you stated—that is, the clergyman who presided, prayed — O Lord, free us from those who would exploit our race. Perhaps that is the secret, more than any other thing, of Mayor Hylan's success. He has done much. I know, for the past four years to prevent the big interests from exploiting the common people (Applause) Mayor Hylan believes with Abraham Lincoln, that this country was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that 'all men are created equal.' (Applause) And Mayor Hylan is striving, as hard as any human being can to continue to prevent the exploitation of the masses here by the Traction Trust, the Gas Trust and the Electrical Trust and the other large corporations which seek to exploit the people. And so, in conclusion, let me just suggest that you always; in your prayers, keep that in mind, asking that God free you from any exploitation of any kind. Be careful at all times to support those men who are exposing and opposing those who would seek to exploit your race, and in order that you may be loyal to your city and your country, in order that you may be faithful to your vows, in order that you may always support wholeheartedly and honestly the organizations in which you belong, keep in mind the words of the poet — "This above all, to thine own self be true." And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." (Great applause.) Sermon by Acting Chaplain-General Acting Chaplain-General, the Rev. Father A. H. Maloney, read the Scripture lesson, taken from the 45th chapter of Isaiah, and in this part of the service was assisted by the Rev. E. Wilcoom Elliger. Following this the order of the services continued. Im- mediately after the address of welcome by Hon Francis P Bent the Acting Chaplain-General Rev James R Diggs delivered the Convention Bermon, taking his text from the 42d chapter of Isaiah verse 4 which speaks of the coming of the Messiah. He shall not fall nor be discouraged till he shall have set judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for his Lord. The sermon in full follows below. The sermon ended the offertory followed after which the Potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Mayor of Monrovia Liberia Africa was introduced and delivered his annual address, marking the opening of the convention. The address which was prepared and read by the Potentate was well received by the audience and evoked considerable applause. In another column will be found a verbatim report of the adice. It embraced a review of the work of the association during the past year. It is very fitting "he said that we should express our gratitude to the Almighty God for His blessing toward us in that He has brought to naught some of the plans and plots of the enemies of our association, who endeavored to have our President General indicted by false representation and thus put an end as they thought to this noble and grand movement. But the ideas and principles of this organization are the desire of the race have taken deep root in their minds and therefore cannot care") he de- The address referred to the construction loan and the question of the lending of $5,000,000 to Liberia by the United States Government, and the question of the industrial and commercial improvement of Africa where in there is a large field for industrious people who are always welcomed by the citizens of that country when they go in the proper spirit." The alma of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all kindred organizations among our people, he pointed out, must eventually lead to the "consummation of the one great objective Race Solidarity which alone will bring to pans the redemption of Africa. Continuing, he said that to accomplish this we should endeavor to inculcate into the minds of the different elements of the race a true racial spirit and thereby awaken the latent qualities within them that will build up a strong and healthy feeling of brotherhood and race confraternity. Referring to the Black Star Line the Potentate said he could not agree with the suggestion by several of the newspapers of the Associated Negro Press that the movement of the U N I A would make for greater success if the idea of a steamship line were abandoned. 'The difficulties' he pointed out, that it has encountered and the hindrances that have been placed in the way to prevent it from becoming a success are known to many of us, and are due largely to the actions of the unscrupulous men of both races who had to do with the workings of the concern. 'These difficulties he hoped can be overcome in time and that we will be able to profit by the sad experiences of the past by devising some plan for a better management and control of this phase of the work of the association.' Three Cheers for Potentate The Potentate was given a great ovation, both when he arose to speak and at the close of his address, in fact the President General, himself called for three cheers for the Potentate to which the audience responded lustily. This was followed by the singing of the 'Potentate a Hymn. The President General then announced the program for the remainder of the day, after which he called for three cheers for the Supreme Deputy, Hon G O Mark. The others were soifferously given, and immediately after cheers were given in a most roaring fashion for the President General who stood up and gracefully bowed his acknowledgment The singing of the hymn. God Bless Our President! and the African National Anthem brought the services to a close, the benediction being pronounced by Acting Chaplain General, Rev Father A H Maloney The program of the services was an elaborate one, and was in printed form, consisting of eight pages. Following is an extract of the principle parts, which will convey a fair idea of the appropriateness of the program, the care with which it was prepared, and the solemnity of the occasion: AFRICAN HYMN O Africa, awaken. The morning is at hand. No more art thou forsaken O bountieous motherland. From far thy sons and daughters Are hastening back to thee. Their cry rings o'er the waters That Africa shall be free.

DIGG8 Forty-third Chapter of Isaiah 4th Verse Speaking of the Messiah, "He shall not fall nor be discouraged, till he shall have set judgment in the earth and the isles shall wait for his Lord." The prophet had in clear view before him at this time the mighty nations of the earth developing according to God's plan. He saw much of evil and oppression on the earth. Nations and races are today suffering some of the consequences of the errors which he denounced but he was instructed and inspired to realize that there was to be a better day and one of the things that ought to be encouraged is the promise concerning two nations and two classes of people. There is a special prophecy for the Jewish nation and they have a future. The Scriptures teach that. There is one other class of people who have a special prophecy in regard to their future and sudden development. It is declared that the black-faced people of the earth, commonly called the Ethiopian shall suddenly or shall soon stretch forth their hands to God. The Messiah is the Eternal agent for the accomplishment of this high purpose. The nations are at the service of Jehovah the Messiah is to load them unto a larger liberty and until judgment shall be set upon the earth he FOR THE CONVENTION OF U. N. I. A.

KAPLAN OPTOMETRIST 5$1 Lenox Avenue OPPOSITE HARLEM HOSPITAL will not manifest in his fulness the plan for the area The birth of the twentieth century foregrounded in the imagination the coming of a new era for mankind. Krudite and settled minds sought the meaning of the new forms coming into play. The profound philosopher the brilliant atheist the inspired poet the eloquent orator found themselves beyond their depth in the flash light of the twentieth century and (feasibly) did they seek a solution of the difficulty. The 19th century had broken the shackles from the minds of men and laid plumbet in pride: freedom. The new status of the freed men in Russia, the British Isles and the United States of America gave hope for a brighter day—a day of real democracy when the popular will would be the law of the nation and the law of the earth. We heard a last echo in the mockery of the boasted new freedom and the hollow cry of democracy or the popular will from the statesman and public men during the great war. Dark shadows still hang heavily over the heads of men. Peace perfect peace is not yet the cry of the starving millions perishing with hunger grooming under oppression and suffering persecution in Europe, in Asia and in bleeding Africa. The pitious cry of the starving child the groans of the suffering mother and the curse of the wronged father whose living is made bitter by the hard task masters of the modern industrial world. These conditions have caused a mighty upheaval that threaten the tie up of the railroads the stopping of the factories and the stagnation of business. We are at this moment at the threshold of three dangers and no man is wise enough to tell what would be the outcome of the mighty forces that are working now in the minds of men and the necessities of the nations of the earth before there shall be reached a solution just to all men and all nations and to all races when a full recognition of the rights of the free men of the earth in his fatherland to live under his own vine and fig-tree will be recognized with institutions of his own creation and of his own approval. The skeptic may well ask the meaning of this confusion among the nations after two thousand years of Christianity and Christian civilization. The Christian may truthfully reply that this confusion comes because the nations have not accepted the Messiah in his Eternal purpose, that all men should be free to enjoy the earth's blessings and to live without let or favor from other people. The Christian may well reply that the troubles of the earth have come to the nations because they have not regarded the golden rule. What no one would that men should do unto you, do also unto them. If you do not want to accept the modern and pulsant and affirmative teachings of Christ, then listen to Confucius, who tells you the same truth negatively that what you would not that men do unto you, do you not unto them, the quintessence of all that the Messiah taught the gospel of perfect justice. The Gospel of Justice This, and this alone will satisfy the conscience and the conscious feeling of man that he is the son of God. You cannot make a man a slave and have satisfaction in two hearts concerned in the transaction. What does this all mean? The answer is found in any philosophy in any history, in any science. But their answers are but imperfect—the answer is found in Revelations. Hear the voice of Jehovah when He says that He shall not fail nor be discouraged until He shall set judgment upon the earth. Judgment and justice are the habitation of His throne. Truth and peace shall come before His face and Ethiopia shall enjoy her right as a world power and shall receive what He has intended for her, and the Red, the Black and the Green are not inconsistent institutions in their proclamation of the great truth for which they stand. One finds warrant in Revelation for hopefulness and assurance. Let no black man doubt that he will come into his own for God has led us during the last hundred years so wonderfully toward a true and real freedom—not a new freedom, but on old freedom stated in new terms. Why should we not when the flag is flying, when we are rising like a mighty giant, when the earth is trifphant, because the black sons of our race are moving towards a better life, when the sun is shining, why should we have a doubt now that the Jehovah who has led us throughout the centuries is still on the firing line with his battering legions? Why he discouraged, oh sons of Ethiopia oh men clothed in black, hold up your heads and look into the face of God who calls you to a nobler ser- Also God gives Isaiah the message and Isaiah declared it to all men, to nations and to all people "For in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things" And we are now at the sunrise; we must open our eyes and behold the 350,000,000 black men in India, behold the 300,000,000 black men in Africa, behold the million black men in the isles of the sea behold the millions in the West Indies in North and South America listening to the call of God through the Messiah to the nations of the earth to arise and take your place as my children and work out the eternal plans of your destiny. God calls us, the God who made Abraham who made Abraham Lincoln who made the statesmen of Europe who made the philosophers of Africa who made Marcus Garvey who calls on the millions of the earth to arise with their divine color and assert that before there was light there was the darkness which is eternal DARKNESS IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH EVIL as we have been taught by the institution of slavery. Most of our colored people believe that darkness is associated with evil. Some years ago a British philosopher wrote these words I believe Martin F Cooper was his name. That darkness is the semblance of evil. Because he said Nature regards it with dread. Nature does not regard darkness with dread. She was clothed with darkness during the period before the creation of the Light. Who knows whether in heaven we will be in a world of dark shadows? Who knows that since the darkness and the light are the same to God, that He will not give us power to enjoy the darkness as well as the light?

The stranger will ask “Why should you want political freedom when Victoria of England gave it to you eighty-four years ago. and Lincoln of America, fifty-seven years ago?” I am tempted to answer for you, and to say that the presont day Negro does not believe in hypocrisy agd camou- flage. Ho believes In truth, In honesty. In Justice. The freedom that Lincoln gave. us means that half of the population of our race in America is atill voteless and voiceless, all of the population of the race in Amorica 1a deprived uf Uhat higher right of citizenship that makes each and everyone an equal under the constitution Religiously we are still slaves to the doctrine of an allen race.

Tuesday Afternoon, August 1. 1922 — Assuredly Providence must be with the Hon Marcus Garvey and his legion of adherents and followers. This afternoon, at the beginning of the annual parade inaugurating the Third Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the greatest demonstration of colored people seen here in many years—the elements looked threatening. When the parade was about half over, it seemed as if the heavens would pour out their wrath in rain upon the people, yet only a few drops fell, and just as the head of the long procession had returned to the reviewing stand at Seventh avenue and 135th street, in front of the Universal Printing Establishment (one of the factor industries of the Association) the slight rain ceased, thus enabling the high officials to take their places in the stand and review the rest of the marchers. The parade had long been heralded, by printed announcements in the public press and by handbills and sign posters, and long before the beginning the streets and sidewalks were lined with people, eager to see the followers of the greatest of Negro leaders—the now acknowledged peer of them all, past and present. The entire line of march was marked by streamers and bunting flung, across the avenue at the main points of crossing, and the Red, White and Blue and the Red, Black and Green vied with each other and were entwined in loving embrace, emblematic of America and Africa. As never before, the Hon. Marcus Garvey was the cynosure of the eyes of the entire Harlem public today, and that he has, despite fierce opposition and the most unrelenting and the more virile attacks from his enemies, won a place in the very forefront of the Negroes of the United States, and is now the acknowledged and ablest leader of the race. no one as an impartial observer of today's events, can deny. And this because he is accomplishing things, is actually doing those things that are not only bringing the various elements of the race together, but that also are actually making for the race's material, industrial and economic advancement and good. There may be, and doubtless there are, other men of the race who are more profound scholars or thinkers than he, who perhaps are greater philosophers, but there is none who today commands such universal attention as he and who is attracting so many people to his standards, to his views, to his ideals; nor is there any, despite whatever position he may occupy, who is producing so great material and tangible results for the benefit of the race This explains the reason for the vast numbers, the thousands upon thousands of Negroes and white people who this afternoon turned out to pay homage to the true worth and genius of this born leader of men, the pride and inspiration of Negroes everywhere. The Randolph, and the Owens, and the Harrison, and the Grays, and the Harris, and the Domingo, and their lik may rant and rant, and give lecture after lecture in this "inn," or in that "hall," and exhaust, if they will the dictionary itself in expalting upon "the folly of Marcus Garvey," his fallacies, and what-not, but the more they prate, the more they lecture, the more they discuss and cuss the Hon Marcus Garvey, the greater he becomes in the eyes of the Negro public, and the more he is seen and regarded the world over by blacks as well as whites as the greatest genius of the Negro race today. Promptly at one o'clock the line of march started from 1858 street and Leonor avenue, headed by an aboort of mounted policemen and the band of the Black Star Line, under the leadership of Prof. William Isles. This band had its drum major, with high fur military hat and large stick with ball, white-walked spect as he led the musicians, all staff in blue coats and white trousers, making an imposing and striking appearance. Immediately beiling followed the high officials of the generalies, in the following order, all being seated in open limousines, decorated with banners and dais, in the automobile, No. 1, Chapters General and Administrative, in the automobile, No. 2, the General and Supreme Dept mobile No. 4, the American Leader; in automobile No. 5, Assistant President General; in automobile No. 6, the Assistant Secretary General; in automobile No. 7, Hon. B. DeBourg, leader of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies, in automobile No. 8, Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Western Provinces, in automobile No. 9, the High Chancellor, Hon. G. E. Stewart, in automobile No. 10, the Auditor General, Ell Garcia. These officials wore the same brilliant variegated color uniforms, indicative of their respective offices, with gold trimming and gold sawn, and with arms, helmets and plumed hats, as worn by them a the divine services held in the morning at Liberty Hall, thus giving them a very striking military appearance. Then followed the Legion members of the Universal African Legion of Honor, members of the Women's Motor Corps, members of the U N I A. choir, members of the Black Cross Nurses, members of the Juvenile Corps. The members of these different branches were garbed according to the style dress and uniforms of their respective branches, the Black Cross Nurses in white with caps of white, and a black cross on their sleeve and on the cap, the Women's Motor Corps in cloth suit of blue and black, with brass buttons, the members of the Choir in surplices of white, the members of the Legion of Honor in black uniforms and caps with red stripe down the trousers and decorations of red, black and green. These different divisions also carried their own individual banners. Hon C E Gayne, Minister of Legions was the Marshal, the parade being under his personal charge and direction. It was an orderly parade, be it said to the credit and honor of the Marshal, popularly known and nicknamed "Daddy Gayne." The marchers walked with heads erect and kept in step to the music, the women marchers making an even better showing in this respect than the men. The line of march was as follows From 135th street and Lenox avenue through Lenox avenue to 145th street, to Seventh avenue, to 125th street to Lenox avenue, to 116th street, to Seventh avenue, to 110th street to Lenox avenue, to 123d street, to Fifth avenue, to 138th street, to Lenox avenue, to 138th street, to Seventh avenue, to 138th street to Liberty Hall Not the alightest hitch in the arrangementma matted the parade, which was viewed by thousands and thousands of people, black and white. So crowded was the avenue along the line of march that at some point it was almost impassable. The police, however, aided in the marching, and handled the crowds in most commendable manner. The crowds were all good natured. There we more admirers among this year than in previous years, and while many "knockers" and doubters and opponents in all probably witnessed the parade, they stood in silent astonishment, if no admiration, at the demonstration they saw. Along the entire route, the reporter heard not a single word said in derision or ridicule. Evidently the laughers and the scorners have been turned, against their own convictions and will, to passive admirers. Sports of Banda in Parada There were many bands in the line of march, which furnished inspiring music, and that added to the enlivement of the event. Several out-of-town branches of the association were represented, and some of these furnished their own music. Among the bands in use were the Black Star Zine Band, the Universal Nare Improve- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 5. 1922 Metropolitan Journalistic Methods at Convention Credit for producing the published reports of the opening proceedings of the convention must be given to Mr I. Newton Braathinville, member of the National Shorthand Reporters' Association, and his efficient staff of shorthand reporters. Messrs. J H Green, official stenographer Magistrate Courts, and Charles Benoni, who covered all the functions and worked like Trojans to give to the public all the interesting details in connection therewith in the Negro World of this issue, the day after the events occurred. ment Association Band, the band of the 62d street local, the Monarch Band, Simpson a Band. Many how banners with entirely new and quite original inscriptions upon them were seen, carried by the marchers. These attracted universal attention and elicited favorable comment. Here are some of the inscriptions: 'The New Negro Will Die for His Right.' "A Free Ireland and a Free Africa." 'England Would Do Well to Let Ghandi Go.' "Negroes Have Traitors. Like the Irish." "We Love Those Who Love Us." "Black Cross Nurces Are Organized to Create a System to Relieve the Negro in Every Great Calamity." "We Are Asking for Better and More Intelligent Motherhood." 'Black Men Once Ruled the World.' "What a Day When Africa Awakes." Those who did not see the parade missed a rare treat—a most thrilling exhibition of Negro race pride and Negro progress. It was indeed a demonstration worthy of the great organization and its great and incomparable leader. It was more than a mile and three-quarters in length, extending all the way, in one solid phalanx, from 145th street to 116th street, and comprised fully 8,000 people. Never were so many automobiles, limousines and every sort of motor vehicle seen in use in any previous parade given by colored people, the cost of engaging which must have run up into thousands of dollars. But when the Negro wants to make a showing, particularly in matters evidencing race progress, price—money—cuts no figure, he spends with a lawish hand and cares not for the cost. Looking on Seventh avenue from in front of the reviewing stand at 135th street and casting the eye toward the north, in the direction of the Renaissance Theatre, and then turning to the south, and looking down toward the Lafayette Theatre, as far as the eye could reach, was one solid mass of black and white humanity on both sides of the street and avenue presenting the appearance of a general holiday (for such it was in Harlem) everybody apparently, having taken a day off to be a spectator of the great event MASS MEETING AT 71ST REGIMENT ARMORY (Continued from page 2) is also free. Africa is now speaking and if for seven hundred and fifty years Irishmen found perseverance enough to have carried the cause of freedom on and on until they won, then four hundred million Negroes are prepared to carry on the fight for African liberty even if it takes us to the seat of the Most High, yes, if it takes us until judgment day, we shall fight the cause on and on without relenting. The world may scoff at us, the world may deride us, but there have been many surprises for the world before, and there will be many more. Englishmen scoffed at the Colonists when they agitated for independence in America, but their scoffs and derisions did not prevent George Washington from giving us the glorious flare and sizzle. Men, laughed at, the propaganda of Trusted the Car himself im- pugned the idea of a more liberal Russia, but today Lenine and Trotsky rule yes, the Louisa laughed at the propaganda of the Liberals of France, but the French monarchy is no more today Frenchmen take pride in the new democracy of France so that others may laugh at us today because we are agitating the question of a free and independent Africa tomorrow, who knows, Africa will bloom up as the greatest Republic of the world. Mer there is much to live for and there is much to die for. The man the race or the nation that is not prepared to risk life itself for the possession of an ideal shall lose that ideal. If you I repeat, must be free, you youselves must strike the blow (Applause) I am not speaking of any other freedom than African freedom because other men are capable of advocating their own causes. You must not in any way misinterpret the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of this convention. We are met for the sole purpose of regulating our affaira as a race. That does not mean that we are to offend any other race. The Universal Negro improvement Association believes in the fellowship of races. We have a high regard for the white race, we have a high regard for all the other races of the world, but we believe in the Golden Rule and its appellation to all races. Do unto others as you would that they to you should do'. When the white race, and the yellow race and all the other races are willing to do to the Negro as the Negro is willing to do unto them then we shall have the reign of peace. I suppose the peace that Lloyd George Woodrow Wilson and George Clemenceau spoke of at the Versailles conference, until then it becomes the duty of every race to protect itself. We cannot blame the great white race for protecting itself, we shall not blame the great yellow race for protecting itself. And how are they protecting themselves? We see Great Britain with her standing armies and her mighty navy, with a powerful government organized on the latest military principles. So of France so of America, so of Italy, and Japan is also organized with her mighty navy and army for what purpose. For the purpose of protecting themselves. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are advocating the right for Africa to develop herself as a mighty nation and give to herself the same kind of a navy and military protecting as the other races (Apause). Will you blame us for doing that? Then if you blame us, you must blame England, if you blame us, then you must blame France, you must blame Italy, you must blame Japan, you must blame all the other civilians and nations of the world, in that we believe if government is good for the race government is also good for the other race. If the Negro should have no government, if the Negro should have no army, if the Negro should have no navy of his own, then the white race should have no government, the white race should have no navy, the white race should have no navy of its own, but, ladies and gentlemen, we are not all angels. From the fall of Adam man became a rebellious, wicked, covetous, murdurous creature, yes, man from the time of Cain, and Abel coveted the property of his brother man, became envious of his brother man, became envious of his world exploit the weak Jesus the great Redeemer came to save man from his fallen state, but man, because of his wickedness, because of his murdurous principles, rejected the teachings of Christ, and man was never satisfied until he nailed even the Christ to the Cross of Calvary Man is wicked, man is envious, man is rebellious, man is murderous, and you can expect very little of man. The only protection against injustice in man is power, physical power, financial power, educational power, scientific power, power of every kind, it is that power that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is encouraging Negroes to get for themselves. And may I not encourage you at this opening of our Third Annual Convention to seek the higher scientific power. The battles of the future, whether they be physical or mental battles, will be fought on scientific principles, and the race that is able to produce the highest scientific development is the race that will ultimately rule. Men of the Negro race. I implore you to seek the higher scientific knowledge. You must send out your chemists, your engineers, skilled and proficient enough to cope with the scientific men of the other races of the world. If Africa is to be won, if our Motherland is to be redeemed we have to do so through the higher scientific competition. You cannot depend upon your own physical power to bring about the result that we want, and as we discuss these problems during this month of August let us do so dispassionately, do so with a faith in our own ability, and I feel sure that in another few years your race and mine will lift itself from its depressed condition of today to the heights of universal respect. (Applause.) Since the adjournment of our last convention many things of importance have happened to affect our race for good, or ill.

W. ococo, our klinamen, revolted against Spanish imperialism, and they were able to maintain a successful campaign for several months, during which time over one hundred thousand soldiers were lost to Spain. In one battle alone the Moroccanis inflicted a casualty of nearly twenty-five thousand, capturing all the armaments of the enemy, including aeroplanes and sixteen thousand square miles of land. This is demonstrative of the new spirit that is now permeating the tribesmen of Morocco. It is true that the Moroccanis met with many reverses, but when it had is considered that the Spaniards had the advantage of a higher civilization for hundreds of years you will readily admit that the Moroccanis did splendidly against dreadful old: The Associated Press reported in January that Reuters had given out the information that a great Pan-African spirit was sweeping all over Africa, and that the propaganda was traveling so fast as to have reached nearly every nook and corner of the Black Continent. Great stress was laid on the strength of the propaganda in the Union of South Africa, French Equatorial Africa, Uganda, Nyanaa-land, Belgian Congo, Abyssinia and Kenya, East Africa. Reports during the year informed us of a native uprising in Kenya, where the natives by the pressure of injustice imposed upon them by their alien masters, rioted fighting their enemies with wooden spears and leather shields, whilst the enemies charged them with modern artillery, and bombed them from the air in airplanes. The uprising was subsequently quelled, and the natives forced to accept the continuation of the iron rule of their foreign allies over lords. In December of last year a great surprise was sprung upon the race in the award to Rene Maran of the Edmond de Goncourt Prize for the best literary production of the year in France. The volume that won for Maran the Prize was 'Batauola,' a book in which the author attacked the Colonial system of government in Africa, further proving the universality of the dissatisfaction that now exists among far-seeing self-respecting Negroes, over the mis-government and exploitation that is carried on in Africa by the so-called colonizing and civilizing governments of the world. Harding's Plea for Race Equality Another matter of great interest during the year was the speech of the Honorable Warren G. Harding President of the United States of America delivered at Birmingham Alabama on the 26th of October, in which he made a plea for race equality industrially and politically, but suggested that the black and white races maintain a separate and distinct social life. President Harding impressed upon his hearers the fact that the race problem of the South was not only of the South, or of the nation, but that it had become an international question. In the speech President Harding answered himself a true friend of the Negro race, even though he has been most senselessly and brutally criticized by a few self appointed Negro leaders and sycophants. It was also reported in October that the Kenya colony of East Africa was raided by Abyssinian troops. This suggests a political move of great significance. In November and December a Disarmament conference was held in Washington in which several of the first-rate nations of the world took part. Many questions affecting armaments and war in general were discussed at the conference. The Negro was not represented at this conference neither was he taken into consideration as one of the great possible forces of the future. The conference terminated in a treaty between the United States and the British Empire and Japan and France. Among the items agreed upon were 1. The high contracting parties agree as between themselves to respect their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions in the region of the Pacific Ocean. If there should develop between any of the high contracting parties a controversy arising out of any Pacific question, and involving their said rights which is not satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and is likely to affect the harmonious accord now happily subalating between them, they shall invite the other high contracting parties to a joint conference to which the whole subject will be referred for consideration and adjustment. 2. If the said right are threatened by the aggressive action of any other power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with one another fully and frankly in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient measures to be taken, jointly or separately to meet the exigencies of the particular situation. 3. This agreement shall remain in force for ten years from the time it shall take effect and after the expiration of said period it shall continue to be in force subject to the right of any of the high contracting parties to terminate it upon twelve months notice. This agreement was subsequently ratified. Several other conferences have been held since the adjournment of the Disarmament Conference in Washington, at which many other vital issues have been discussed to the exclusion of the Negro. We are still waiting to see when the other races will recognize as integral part of the human family. During the month of July of the present year, the Council of the League of Nations met in London and decided among themselves the apportionment of the late German African colonies. They distributed among themselves the African apoils of war, without taking into consideration the aspirations and the feelings of the native Africans and of the Negro Race that rendered such signal service during the conflict of 1914-1918. The Council apportioned parts of the Cameroons to England, and other parts to France. Toguallon was also given to France and East Africa was given to England. The high handed attitude of the members of the League is demonstrative of the spirit of peace. How these statesmen can expect to have permanent peace after such acts of injustice you and I are unable to tell. We are hopeing, however that one day they will awake to their true sense and realize that peace can only be maintained when humanity universally is satisfied I am pleased to report that during the war Egypt was given her independence and Ireland was declared a Free State. All of us feel glad that the Irish people after a struggle of over seven hundred years, have won at last a large modicum of self-government. We must congratulate the Egyptians for the splendid step forward. It is unfortunate that I have to report the arrest of our friend and co-worker Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was arrested by the British authorities in India in March and sentenced to imprisonment for six years. The incarceration of Gandhi however will not affect the non-co-operationist movement of India. New India is marching forward, and with New Africa we hope in a short while there will be a great union of the darker races of the world in self-protection. America, the hereditary friend of the Negro has during the year through the kind services of President Harding, and Secretary Hughes, extended a loan of five million dollars to Liberia which is highly appreciated by the thoughtful members of our race President Harding a Government has also brought to a close the American occupation of Santo Domingo making that Negro country once more free and independent. During the year we were also surprised with the friendly suggestion and effort of Senator McCullum of Mississippi in introducing into the Legislature of his State a bill asking that the Government of America take steps to create for the Negro race in Africa a racial national government. The effort of Senator McCullum was supported by the State Senate, but was subsequently defeated in the House of Representatives. Senator France of Maryland also advocated a similar act on the part of the National Government, thereby proving to us that we have many good friends among the white race in America confined not only to the North but also to be found in the South. A Successful Year for the U. N. I. A. The past year has been a successful one for the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association although the enemies within our race have done so much to retard our progress. Many have been the mirage representations against the organization for the year, made by jealous and unprincipled Negroes. Those who have indulged in the mirage representation have been men heretofore regarded as leaders of the race. Despite all that has been said and done, our organization has carried on most successfully since the adjournment of the last Convention. Our work has expanded so in Africa especially in the French Colonies, that the French Government has become alarmed, believing that the natives are becoming uncontrollable and undisciplined. Why France should act in this manner I am unable to say because it has always been the belief of a large number of us that France was friendly disposed toward the higher development of the Negro race, but recent happenings has proved to us that France is no better than the other Colonial powers that have ravished and exploited Africa for hundreds of years. France continues to keep her black troops on the Rhine, she continues to exploit their military training for the good of France in Europe, without any consideration for the men themselves. For the purpose of counteracting the usefulness of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Africa, France invited last month a number of African Kings and Chiefs for the purpose of convincing them of Frances unselfish attitude toward Africa, but unfortunately, the reception committee made a muddle of the whole affair. Instead of receiving the African Kings and Chiefs in the way that men of such rank should be received, they unwittingly hardened them together in a camp on the outskirts of Paris which provoked a great deal of rementon on the part of the Chiefs, a rementation that I feel sure they will take back to Africa as one of the convincing proofs of the worthiness of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in calling all Negroes to realize that they are all one and have a common cause in the work of racial progress I feel sure that you will during this convention adopt measures by which we shall be able to bring about a universal adjustment in racial affairs. Let us go forth loving all humanity but remembering that we owe a supreme obligation to ourselves of this generation and to posterity. Our work must not be interpreted as being hostile to any other race. We are willing now to form an alliance with the great white race for the preservation of civilization and for the good of a lasting peace, but it must be clearly understood that the new Negro is quite a different man to the Negro of seven or eight years ago. University we stand on the platform of human justice human rights and human liberty. We are not going to yield one bit on these great principles. Men have fought for them they have died for them in the past, and we are willing to fight to see Africa restored to us as our own home. We cede to the Anatolia Asia, we cede to the Caucasian Europe we also demand for ourselves Africa. Our work in America must be understood as being friendly to our great government. We stand by every principle of the American Constitution. We believe that America a friendship for the Negro is unparalleled and that when the time comes America will do more for us as a race than any other government in the world. We feel that the time is not far distant when our brothers of the white race in America will help us to build up a civilization of our own in Africa. We in our time have helped them to build up a great civilization a great government in these United States of America and I feel that common gratitude will suggest to them that they should help us to build up a civilization of our own in the United States of Africa. It is true that there is a great amount of friction between the two races here at the present time but that we cannot present Two ambitious races can live in peace side by side when they have to compete with each other economically politically and socially (cloud and prolonged applause).

The tremendous crowds which packed Liberty Hall last Sunday night and gathered around the doors and windows on the outside and the fervent enthusiasm are but an indication of what will happen when the gavel sounds and the convention really opens. As we attended the great conventions of the National Afro-American Council when the Metropolitan Baptist Church of Washington, D. C., and the McCaulay Theatre of Louisville, Ky., were filled to overflowing and excitement was at fever heat, as we attended a convention of the Niagara Movement, when applauding crowds filled Faneuil Hall, it is quite natural that we should contrast the forthcoming with preceding racial questions and speculate regarding the ultimate outcome. The masses of the colored people in America have always been conscious of the fact that their economic, industrial, civic, political and social status was more or less lower than that of the other American citizens. And they have always rallied to any man or movement which promised a way of salvation. Their ardor, though, invariably cooled when the plan of salvation did not materialize. In the three conventions which we have mentioned above Bishop Abraham Grant, Bishop Alexander Walters, Col. Bill Pledger, Dr. C. B Mason, Rev. Charles Satchel Morris, Attorney James W. Hayes, Attorney William H. Lewis, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom and Rev. Churchmen cut loose with a brand of oratory that lifted the audience to its feet. Editor T. Thomas Fortune and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois drew up resolutions which were terse, trenchant and telling And yet when the delegates returned to their homes, when the fog lifted and the skies cleared, the Negro's status in American life and society was the same as before What was the trouble? In the past individual and collective effort, building up enterprises and institutions of various sorts have done more to lift the status of a race or nation in the world's regard than making eloquent speeches and writing philosophical dissertations have moulded sentiment and made history in more than one crisis in human affairs The Black Man's Case again, in previous racial conventions the writer died in the air, because they did not center their position of the South.

Prof. Weiner of Harvard, in showing the man, who were Negroes, discovered America before and taught the Indians how to grow sweet potato, has added one more link to the chain of Negro Then, again, in previous racial conventions the writers and orators usually fired in the air, because they did not center their fire upon the strategic position of the South. The Negro champions laid emphasis upon the major premise and the conclusion The South laid emphasis upon the minor premise. The Negro champions asserted "All men desire equality of rights and liberty of opportunity Therefore, we desire equality of rights and liberty of opportunity." The South comes back and says: "Yes, but you have overlooked the minor premise. You are not full-fledged men. You occupy an intermediate stage between the age and man." And so the discussion has gone on for a quarter of a century. Unfortunately, few of the black man's champions and leaders had an intimate acquaintance with Negro history. Hence, they could not mass and mobilize his achievements in America, the West Indies, Europe and Africa during the past four thousand years in such a masterly manner that his title claim to recognition will be clear and undisputed. But this will not be true of future Negro conventions. So many things have been unearthed during the past fifteen years by both Negro and Caucasian writers regarding the Negro's contribution to ancient and modern civilization that now the Negro has a stronger case to go before the world with. Prof. Weiner of Harvard, in showing that Mandingoes from Africa, who were Negroes, discovered America before Christopher Columbus and taught the Indians how to grow sweet potatoes, peanuts and tobacco, has added one more link to the chain of Negro achievement The Convention be readily seen that the delegates to the forthcoming mention of Negroes have the advantage of delegations in that they have at their command rest part played by their ancestors in developing civilization.

These thoughts, which will possibly help to clear welcome the deputies and delegates to the Third of Negroes, trusting that something practical result from their deliberations. It can be readily seen that the delegates to the forthcoming International Convention of Negroes have the advantage of delegates to previous racial conventions in that they have at their command researches which indicate the part played by their ancestors in developing European and American civilization. There are two things they should not do. They should not wave the bloody shirt needlessly and make wild threats, when they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by so doing. On the other hand, they should not prostrate themselves before the Baal of Bourbon caste prejudice and admit that they are not men and have accomplished nothing to entitle them to the world's consideration, respect and regard and no capacity to do big things in the present and future. With these thoughts, which will possibly help to clear the atmosphere, we welcome the deputies and delegates to the Third International Convention of Negroes, trusting that something practical and constructive will result from their deliberations.

Elsewhere in these columns we print a communication from Mr. Casper Holstein which throws an added ray of light on the situation as it stands at present. It seems that enemies of the St. Louis Labor Union, of which D. Hamilton Jackson is president, are trying to increase the efforts of outside agitators of the caliber of Mr. Holstein and others of the Virgin Islands. Societies of New York to switch the light of publicity on the actions of Admiral Kittelle's cracker government. Moreover, the resolution passed by the Virgin Islands Societies of New York on May 4, 1922 (copy of which was published in The Negro World), has convinced the Negro inhabitants that on the "mainland" Virgin Islanders are listening to the cries of the oppressed people as voiced by several in letters to The Negro World, the substance of which is summed up in the following excerpt from one "Nothing can be accomplished here without proper help from the other side." And the Governor, scrambling to regain his equilibrium, in a speech to a group of school children, recently expressed his opinion on the resolution I was shocked the other day to note in one of the local papers what purported to be a set of resolutions alleged to have been promulgated by certain natives of the Virgin Islands resident in New York. In all my long life of public service I have never seen anything so false and deliberately misleading as are those resolutions. They are so viciously false that it is unnecessary for me to warn you to be on your guard, as far as they are concerned, but I do most solemnly warn you to watch and be on your guard at all times, for more clever minds may seek to influence you in more insidious ways. Remember, that truth will always bear the full light of the day without flinching, while evil loves the dark. When America took over these islands it was with the intention of gradually bringing the people into the enjoyment of all the liberties of the American people. Many of them have already been accorded you, and much has already been accomplished. More will come, in due time, if you hold your citizenship in these islands unsullied by falsehood and hatred. This is good trash to ladle out to school children, but the Virgin Islanders are not satisfied with it. What they want is a revision of the code of laws, freedom of the press and a larger share of the political and economic life. Until then they are prepared to light and agitate for a freer community. GENERAL WASHINGTON'S VIRTUES PERHAPS more than any other man Arthur Schomburg can shake the foundations of Mr. Lincoln's democracy with his exhaustless fund of historical information on the relations of the Negro and the white man in America. Well-wishers of the Negro are crying for the arrival of a North American Dumas, a fictional artist who will paint in striking colors the sorrows and sufferings and struggles of the black race in America. Others are urging for a history of the Negro, and, in the light of his recent remarkable work, Carter Woodson is the logical man to do it. In the meantime, we shall content ourselves with fugitive scraps of Negro history that may well be worth considering It is no secret that Thomas Jefferson, according to an English lady and an American writer of distinction, had several mulatto children from the slave women on his plantation. Those of fair complexion were sent to schools and educated and given every opportunity to progress, but the black ones were kept in rags and made to wait on their father's table. But there is one man in American history whose character, so far as the school text-books are concerned, stands unblemished—a criterion of chivalry and Puritan purity. That man is George Washington. Did Washington, like Jefferson, have illicit relations with the Negro slave women on his farm? Writing in the journal of a famous historical museum some years ago, "R," whose identity of necessity was kept in darkness, has some very startling things to say about the man who never told a lie In the early part of this century many families from Eastern Virginia settled in Southern Indiana along the Ohio River, below Louisville. Among them was a gentleman of noble appearance, tall and the exact counterpart of Washington. The old emigrants who came out with him always declared that he was the son of Washington. He naturally rose to the surface of society and acquired an influential position in public affairs, having been a United States Senator in 1812-13, and afterward-Governor of Indiana Territory for three years as successor to General Harrison. His biography was written a few years ago by his son-in-law, who, instead of particularizing his ancestry, merely says he was born "of respectable parentage on the banks of the Potomac, July 9, 1750" (Washington was then 18 years old; married in 1759) His biographer adds, "His personal appearance, both as to features and form, was so attractive as to be a subject of remark wherever he was known." He was appointed by Washington to a high command in General Wayne's army, which gave the final blow to the power of the Indians in the West, 1794. He left a son and daughter, both deceased, the former never married. * * * While on this subject I will add that George W P Custis, the step-grandson of Washington, has numerous children in Washington City of the "milutato persuasion" by slave mothers, some of whom have held subordinate positions in the departments for years. They are persons of excellent character, and take an active part in municipal and educational affairs. Since we haven't had a President with Negro blood in his veins surely we can "boast" of one who had something to do with the "laugh-izing" of his art. AFTERTHOUGHTS I is three o'clock, and the thousands of African folk who went to hear Marcus Garvey at the 71st Regiment Armory are fast asleep on dream-beds strewn with roses, whose petals burst with the wine and fragrance of promise. Come what might Marcus Garvey is a power, a tremendous power, to be reckoned with in this world. Garvey's attitude on the Ku Klux Klan may be misrepresented my "macaroni-backed" leaders of the race—to use an expression of Dr. Bundy's—but Garvey is here, and here to stay. There is no getting away from that Garvey's overwhelming come-back—and it may fity be called that—staggered the foundations of Negrodom. It reminded one of the phenomenal coup d'etat of Mayor Hylan of New York City a year ago, when, beset on all sides by venial politicians and a hostile press, he stepped forward and was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. Pickens and Randolph and Owen and the rest of the self-appointed Negro leaders may be against Garvey, but one fact stands out—Garvey is here to stay. LINES TO R. A.

ETHEL TREW DUNLAP. 1507 Allison avenue Los Angeles, Cal. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI By DUSE MOHAMED ALI A "white paper" just published by the British Colonial Office on Mandated Togoland, with its population of 800,000, has gone out of its way to vilify the whole of the Togo people. The report says that "concealment of design is the first element of safety and as this axiom has been consistently carried out for generations, the Native character is strongly marked by duplicity. Even in matters of little moment, it is rare for them to speak the truth." This is a fearful and unjustifiable indictment of a helpless people who, possessing no letters, arts or science, as the report says, are unable to answer back. If these people are incapable of speaking the truth, only on rare occasions, it would appear that the will they expressed to have a British rather than French Protectorate or Mandate—which means the same thing—over their country was nothing short of the duplicity of which they have been accused. Therefore, the request of the natives for the British administration of the country which was so widely advertised by the Colonial Office at the end of 1912 and early in 1920, is only an unreliable expression emanating from 900,000 untruthful natives. The real fact of the case is to be found in the British maladministration of the mandated colony of Togoland. The Togos, being adjacent to the Gold Coast Colony, where the Fantis and other kindred tribes saw to it that the English official did not overstop the bounds of administrative decency believed that the rule of the English was preferable to that of the German or the French And, being helpless, they thought they had accepted the better choice of evils. A bogus plebiscite was put into operation which expressed the 'will' of the people of Togoland to be mandated by the British After they began to taste the bitter waters of British administration they began to reflect upon their depleted trade and the repression introduced by the new regime. They, therefore, began to agitate for the expulsion of an unpopular administration. As the League of Nations is presumably the supreme protector of these mandated peoples, the British feared that the voice of the natives might perchance reach beyond the confines of this outlying African State, so they forthwith had an official pronouncement made which, by discrediting native veracity, would enable them to carry on without outside interference. Moreover, there was the British Aborigines Society and the Missionary Societies to help them in their exploitation of the country. Natives who are truthful must be taught to tread the path of truth and righteousness and, of course, there is no people in Europe more capable of doing this effectively than the British The poor, benigned, untruthful savage must be saved and protected from himself. If he is exploited so much the better for him—it is all in the way of salvation—always provided the English are to do the saving. Yet these people like others in Africa managed to govern themselves without European aid until the Germans descended upon them in 1888 and processed themselves of their lands. As United States Senator William E. Borah very truly says, when commenting on the justifiable occupation of Haiti by the United States, As soon as it is discovered that any helpless people have great natural resources or great natural wealth there immediately grows up a most benevolent desire upon the part of superior nations to govern those people and lift them up. That was true with reference to Syria. It it were not for the great wealth of Syria, France would not be in Syria today. If it were not for the great wealth of Mesopotamia, Great Britain would not be in Mosopotamia. If it were not for the incalculable wealth of Ulberia, Japan would not be in Siberia. As soon as it is discovered that a dependent people, a resources this benevolent desire immediately becomes active, and we feel at once that those people are not fit to govern themselves that they ought to have a better form of government. Although some of them have been governing themselves for hundreds of years, it is discovered that they are no longer capable of self-government and we immediately proceed to give them a better form of government and in the meantime to gather up their natural wealth. If Africa were not rich in natural wealth the poor, benighted native would have been allowed to wallow in his ignorance and untruthfulness. If the Togo is untruthful it is no business of the British. If he has no arts or letters that is no excuse for England to thrust her rule upon him with one hand, while his natural wealth is being gathered up with the other hand. I, however, most emphatically deny that the Togo is more untruthful than any other people. If he has compelled to resort to duplicity German rule has made him do so. Not many years ago he was called "a simple savage." Now that he is endeavoring to match his cunning and duplicity, which is born of European contact, against that of the European he is called untruthful. Yet the accu- nation of the Togo native of duplicity and untruthfulness looks very I in an English official report. I have found it necessary to examine English official reports for many years past, and those that were void of duplicity and untruthfulness were the exception. As I have said, the unlettered native is unable to defend himself, and I have always understood that to hit below the belt was an un-English characteristic. Times and manners have indeed changed Nemeala is however on the march. Fighting has started between the Nationalists of Mesopotamia and Abdullah, the British puppet king, who, like his father, King Hussein of Mecca is beginning to see the results of British diplomatic duplicity. The anti-British movement has started all over Arabia and the Emir Abdullah is endeavoring to restore his authority with the help of British bayonets. Meanwhile, there was a demonstration in Hyde Park, London, on Saturday last protesting against war. The tribes of Arabia have never taken kindly to British interference with their affairs and now the storm has burst on Abdullah and his father Hussein, the British proteges. It will not be long are the same fate overtakes King' Feisel of Irak, the brother of Abdullah. The British have landed two infantry regiments to reinforce the British garrison in Mesopotamia and have sent an ultimatum to Emir Ibn-Esound, demanding that he free Abdullah's messengers whom the Emir had cast into prison. There has been no reply to the British ultimatum, but the leader of the Arab Nationalist, Emir Ibn-Esound, has defeated Abdullah's forces and is marching on to Mexico to drive Hussein from the throne. This is the direct result of Hussein and his family having relied on British promises of independence when they made their secret pact with Great Britain against Turkey in 1915. The Emir Ibn-Esound claims direct descent from the Prophet. Hussein's family is only a branch and has a genuine title to the throne of Arabia. The tribes are all joining Ibn-Esound, and it will be interesting to observe what England will do with the little "Mess-pot" she has created in Arabia in the interests of a "self-determination" which does not self-determinate according to the British view of it. --- In Central Asia Enver Pasha has defeated the Soviet forces sent against him in Turkestan. Afghanistan has sent an ultimatum to the Moscow Government threatening war unless Soviet persecution of Mohammedans in Central Asia ceases, and demanding possession of the entire town of Merv in Turkestan as a guarantee. In a special cable to the New York "Herald" from Moscow a former Czarist officer now in the Red Army is reported to have said For a long time the Central Asiatic Mohamedana have allowed themselves to be deceived by the unnatural alliance of the Soviet with the Angora Government, under which the Reds are represented as real friends of Islam. But actual Red rule has undecided them. The rough treatment handed to the Emir of Bokhara first opened their eyes but the real twin roots of the trouble are the economic chaos resulting from the Bolshevik policy and the ruthless way the Russian Commissars rifeoughhaded over the religious prejudices of an intensely fanatical people. "Enver Pasha has played his cards with charmate listic skill. He levied an army for the Bolehovskii and then used it against them. He joined the followers of the Emir of Bokhara and other rebels in the Ferghana district and by the end of May started a double offensive northeast from Bokhara which he had captured by a brilliant coup de main toward Tashkent and northeast from Hissar to Khokand. He threw back the Red detachments hurried against him aiming the whole eager Mohammedan population. He met with a temporary reverse at Igantchi but after a two days' retreatment with strong reinforcements from the hill tribes, he resumed his advance now holds loosely the line from Tashkent down to Khotent and eastward through Kohand to Naryn whence he is sending out fiving columns that threaten the Tashkent and Krasnovodsk Railway the Red main line for supplies. "The entire country south of Tashkent has been wrested from the Reda, including the important towns of Yarkand, Kashgar, Sammarkand and Bokhara. Several Russian ex-Carlstorff officers are co-operating with Enver, and he has an excellent force of light artillery, but his chief asset is the fanatical enthusiasm of the Mohammedan population, with whom his name is one to conjure with. I have repeatedly said that Islam was wide awake and on the warpath. British preferential treatment of Greece at the expense of Turkey has been mainly responsible for this grand Islamic upheaval, which started with the Indian agitation in regard to the Khalifate and the Kemalat Nationalists movement in Angora. Now that the torch has been lit it is to be hoped that Lord Curson's sham policy in the East will be fully exposed. He and that old reactionary Lord Balfour, are mainly responsible for England's anti-Moslem policy or lack of policy. Lloyd George, who has his diplomatic limitations, is too busy keeping himself secure at 10 Downing street to know much about foreign policy. If he did know, it is greatly to be feared he would not understand that England and France have been sitting upon the crater of an erupting volcano. Even now the belching lave of an erupting Islam leaves them in the self-compacent contemplation of a nebulus world peace which they vainly hope will be vouchafed by the expensive bungling of an efface League of farcical NOTIONS!" EDITORIAL NOTES We wonder what Negroes mean when they boast of being 100 per cent. American? What is a 100 per cent. American, anyway? By what process is the claim established? And how do they know that the figures are correct? We should say that the only really 100 per cent Americans were the red men from whom the polyglot European races stole this continent some three hundred years ago, and whom they found in full possession when they landed on this continent for the purpose of founding a nation. The mongrel white and colored races who now boast of being 100 per cent Americans are no more Americans than a Hottentot is a chimpanzee. Where do these 100 per cent. white and colored Americans 'get off at' anyhow, especially the colored group, and how do they establish their ancestry? "In this world," said Daniel Webster in his famous reply to Hayne of South Carolina, "there are blows to give as well as blows to receive." Gentlemen who are knocking Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association please take notice. We wonder how a certain Professor would feel if The Negro World should publish some of his confidential letters to the President General, seeking a job in this organization and intimating that his color was a handicap in the organization of which he is now a loquacious spellbinder and ready letter writer. There are scores and scores of left over able colored men and Negroes who served in various capacities under several Republican and two Democratic administrations recently and who are now out of jobs. Why does not the Harding administration in selecting members for important commissions include some of these Negro Americans and colored Americans for these places? Are they not entitled, as good Republicans and Americans, to this recognition? We have noticed for years that these brethren are always overlooked by the appointing power whenever the "soft snaps" are passed around. TIME TO COUNT A BILLION You count 160 a minute. You may be able to count 200 in a minute, then an hour will produce 12,000, a day 288,000, a year of 365 days (for every four years, you may rest a day from counting during leap year) 105,120,000. If Adam had begun to count a billion from the time of his existence he would not now be quarter through the count. To count a billion requires 9,512 years, 34 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes, so if you ever have a billion dollars in one dollar notes or the dollar notes or even ten dollar notes, you could never count them in this existence. Mr. Rockefeller is worth a billion, we fear he will not have time to count it. Legend of Creole Who Turned Jet Black John Bennett, author of that curious legend of old Charleston which the Century Co. published last autumn 'Madame Margot, is now explaining about it. His publishers state that many inquiries have been made concerning the genuineness of the legend by persons suspecting that the statement that it was a legend of old Charleston was only a bit of literary fiction used to lend atmosphere. Mr Bennett assures his publishers and the public, however, that the story is in fact, current among both blacks and whites of advanced years, though gradually fading. The history of the actual woman he obtained from white peons of intelligence and standing, the fearful legend of the devil from superstitious black; The story is of a creole woman of surpassing beauty who sold her soul to the devil to save her lovely young white daughter from shame. The devil gave the mother promise of Gabrielle's purity, and to herself great riches—but she became black as her daughter became white, and degenerated into a hideous crone, the more awful for the apoiled and strewed magnificence about her, so that an old Negro told Mr. Bennett that when Margot died she was so crusted with dirt and so discolored a thing that the doctor who "wanted to bury her white," had to "skin her," cause she was turned Affrican black." Of course neither her real name nor that of her daughter is given in the story, though Mr. Bennett knows them, and that the daughter was sent away and reared in much luxury as a white girl, probably in New Orleans, and is supposed to have married a white man. The little book is therefore certified by its author to be not merely a bit of artistry, but a small piece of literary Americana. BETTER COLORED SCHOOLS IN SOUTH CAROLIN COLUMBIA, B. C. July 26 (Special) The white people of many South Carolina communities are co-operating heartily with the colored people in an effort to secure better educational facilities for the children of the latter. At Johnson, B. C. a movement is now on foot to provide a $6,000 six-room Rosenwald school. The Negroes have been raising funds for the purchase of a four-acre site. The Rosenwald Fund will supply $1,600 toward the building, the balance being provided from State and county funds and by private subscriptions. A similar enterprise has just been completed at Batesville where a $4,500 school was erected by these co-operating agencies, and the contract has been let for a $6,000 school at Leesville, for which provision has been made in the same way. These are among the most recent illustrations of the friendly and helpful relations for which the best people of both races are striving and which inter-racial committees are doing much to foster throughout the South.

If the philosophers and chronologists have never had light for more than 6,000 years, what was there before that? We must not forget that it requires seven colors to make white light, and we may well conclude that if light is a modern creator that the great Jehovah created it for his own purposes. Black Men Must Arise And so the black men of the earth must arise and demonstrate to all thinkers that they are the sons of God and we must say the men who do not know any better that the voice of the Messiah calls on the nations of the earth to arise, and He will not fail, and He will not be discouraged until He has set judgment on the earth, and He is going to set this judgment on the earth by raising our station. Here is a man—here are men and women whom He is going to use in this noble purpose. Had I the time I would go a little more into history and draw some of the lessons from this implication; but we must observe the time, although it is said that our folks have no interest in time. God calls upon black men—I like the name black men—I do not use the same words, but you are black men because God made us black, and you men would not be as good as you are if you were not black. If some of our race were white men, we would be down in Alabama helping to lynch black men; some, maybe in the Tombs for robbing banks; some in the graves in Europe because they sought to oppress others or sought to oppose those who wish to oppress them; but because you are black men you are here today. You do not know why you are here. Ten years ago you did not know you were going to be here. Ten years ago Harlem did not amount to much. Ten years ago I did not know any one on this rostrum but my friend, John E. Bruce. I did not hear of Marcus Garvey, nor of Gahrel Johnson, because in those days our people did not talk much about our great black men. I would conclude by saying that there has been much criticism of Marous Garvey; there has been much criticism of these men and women who stand here before you. I have heard it. I have lived in a city where it seems the delight of some of the clergy to climb down his movement. But it is going to stand—Truth crushed to earth shall rise again—but this truth has not been crushed to earth and it is not going to be. It is a different crass. Mush Criticism There has been much criticism about the honors conferred on some of our members. In America the universities have been conferring degrees on worthy and unworthy men. Every institution in this country has conferred degrees on some men who are not worth powder and shot to shoot them. The critics say that men connected with this organization are second-class men. We resent that. The Messiah calls us not as second-class men but great leaders. We have men in this organisation that the best institutions of England and America give. We have thinkers, theologians, publicists, poets, orators. We have have too, honest black people, which is better than all, and as long as we do not betray them we will have them. Man who seek to reject the degrees offered by this organization reject the degrees offered. by 51% million of our people and these degrees are far superior to those held by the gentlemen who would despise them. I know men who have degrees from small colleges in the south—honorary degrees. I have now. I worked for mine and the institution gave them to me because they said it would honor them to confer degrees upon a class of young men who had earned them. I have no honorary degrees: I didn't seek any, but what I have come from the best universities in America and I lay them at the feet of this great organization. I read something just before I came from Baltimore in the Afro-Americana. It was written by my friend and our friend, Mr. Pickens. I know that if Mr. Pickens would be free, that if he stands faithfully for the principles that he has declared to me personally I know that if he regards 5,000,000 of men as less than 300,000 he would either drop one of the degrees that he has or take on another. I happen to be in the college department of a university in the South that has a continuity of about 300,000 people. It has a theological department, but no university department proper, and it was there that the distinguished presidents recommended the degree of Doctor of Literature for Mr. Pickens. If I had been there at the time I would have sat in judgment on that recommendation because I am dean of the library department. I do not say that I would not have granted it, but I would have at least recognised the fact that it was for work done among black men in Alabama and would not surpass the work of the black race with 5,500,000 active members and with 400,000,000 in the world. I hope that the distinguished preside- dent will excuse me. He may not see this in the text, but it is in there, between. We must stand, for the de- fence of the global when you are do- ing a great work that God has called you to do. I have any ask, if I have had anything, if I amount to any- thing I desire, befriend you, and L-asse- sure you. I do not matter who at- tends you in this organization because imperfectness these imperfections do not affect the greetings of an inspired person, and with its imperfe- ence, will not be good for you. MAGAZINE PAGE I go to my grave to await the resurrection and the judgment A Comparison That Is Worthy One thing more about the criticisms. They say that we have lost a great deal of money. Suppose we had lost $8,000,000, we have had only four or five years of experience. Let us take the United States Government. You see the flag flapping there. The Shipping Board has lost over one billion and a half dollars within the last two years. The United States has lost more, after the government has been in existence one hundred years, with the best brains of the country at the head, with the highest paid statesmen to direct its exchequer with the Congress and the Senate to advise and look out for the appropriations, that government has lost a billion and a half dollars in the Shipping Board transactions and at present it is losing $250,000 per month. I do not think they put that in these little black papers. I like those black papers. U. 8. Lost Millions Why don't they hold up the weakness of Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding? Why don't they hold up the weakness of Senator Lodge and Senator Underwood? The United States Government has lost more money in trying to float ships than we need to put Africa on its feet. And of that amount, let me tell you, the black men of this country may not know it, but they have contributed by actual taxation $3,000,000,000 of the thirty-one billion dollars war debt that this country piled up. You have given three billion dollars to free white men in France and England. You have fought for their freedom and furnished one-tenth of the cash to carry on the World War, and all that without being represented at the council table to decide it. They did not ask you for it, they took it out of your pocket. They wasted one and a half on the Shipping Board and all the black papers have overlooked that elephant, but have looked down into our records. Here we are a pulsant race going onward, but being pulled back by men who would call themselves black I followed Du Bois when he organized the Niagara movement, a movement of protest and criticism. I was for a while in the movement until it began to attack those black men I worked with N. A. A. C. P. until it began to attack black movements, because I found I had better business than that I am still some kind of a member there now, just paying my dues so I can speak when I get ready. Brethren, the gospel under the Messiah calls you. God speaks to you. Haar him; go forward; He shall lead you to victory. We must not criticize This mouth shall not utter a word of unkind criticism against a single black leader, whether he is in America or in Europe. What I have to say against my friend, Mr. Pickens, I say in all good faith, and I hope he is here to hear, because I feel he is wrong, and I am not going to follow him when he is wrong. I was in the Niagara movement. I was on the firing line with Mr J. E. Bruce. We know something of this country. We know something of back yonder in the history of this country. We remember when they withdrew the troops from the south and turned our people over to the dangers of hated prejudice. These younger men do not know it, and now when God raises up great leaders to correct those wrongs and to make the world sit up and take notice, there is some better job for us than to criticize and make faces. May God bless you and may He keep you. Do not fight one another. Do not criticize those men who have done better than the United States Government, who have not wasted anything like money the Government has wasted or as much as one-tenth of the amount taken out of the black man's pockets. I defy any man in the world to show any mistake in what I have said. I want them to criticize my statement. I repeat that the proper basis of taxes is the per capita basis. If you do otherwise the rich will take the power and exploit the poor as was stated by Mr. Bent this morning. We contributed one-tenth of the wealth of the nation. We built its civilization by our labor and it is partly ours, but we are willing to give it up if they will give us free access to Africa. I was born here, but I am not afraid to die in Africa. We have $200,000,000 people in India and $500,000,000 in Africa. We really have $600,000,000 black men, and it was not until this man was called to our service that we ever dreamed of having ships to take our people from one part of the world to the other. How long will our race be satisfied to wait until some other race will say to us. "You may now go back in our ships to Africa," our fatherland. How long will our people be satisfied not to have a single ship on the ocean, and thus be dependent upon other people to let us cross the ocean. We must have ships, if the vision of a philosopher called to our service and appointed by Jahovah and his son, the Messiah, will lead us on to victory. THE HIGH POTENTATE'S ADDRESS The Hen. Deputies and Delegates to the International Convention of the U. N. I. A. Assembled in Liberty Hall, New York. Dear Fellowmen and Women of the Race: It becomes my pleasing duty to again appear before you as the titular head of this organization to make the opening speech required of me in our constitution. In doing so I shall endear you to point out in a brief manner of few things that we should avoid and suggest a policy which we should acknowledge for the future, and thereby en- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 5. 1922 deavour to rivet our attention on the ideas that have been advanced from time to time, which may be considered conducive to the interest and better advancement of the cause we have espoused. Another year has passed since we met in a similar capacity, a year fraught with happenings of a startling nature in the world's affairs, some of which have had a most telling effect upon this association as a whole and in some instances affected the morale of our membership. It is very fitting that we should express our gratitude to Almighty God for His blessing towards us in sparing our unprofitable lives to meet here again to discuss matters for the better working of this organization and for the good of our race, and also for having brought to nought some of the plans and plots of its enemies who endeavored to have our President General (the administrative head) indicted by false representation, and thus put an end, as they thought, to this noble and grand movement but the ideas and principles of this organization are the desire of the race and have taken deep root in their minds, therefore cannot be easily destroyed This affair should have a very beneficial effect upon our organization in that it has been the means of giving an opportunity for a thorough investigation of the financial workings of the association and its auxiliaries (as per press comment, March 2, 1922, and therefore setting at naught the uttered statements of the fraudulent actions on the part of some of the officers of this organization and placing the association in a clearer light before the public and its membership at large. There can be no doubt that in some far away places it has created a chilling atmosphere which will take some time to overcome, nevertheless it is very pleasing to note the way and manner that the leading divisions came to the rescue and the zeal and enthusiasm which they envision in the crucial hour, which should always characterize the true and loyal members of our organization. It is necessary, however, in order to avoid future happenings of this nature that some well-organized plan be adopted for the future management and control of the finances of the association and its auxiliaries. Construction Loan In the year 1920, after the close of the first Convention, the Executive Council conceived the idea of asking the members of the association to subscribe to a loan to assist in carrying out their industrial and commercial program in Liberia. But early in 1921 it was rumored that there was a fraud committed in this way and that the association was assuming to do what it had no right to; but this is not true, the bonds were issued as being the direct obligation of the U. N. I. A. to its members, who felt inclined to purchase them in order to aid in the work; but in NO WAY was the Liberian Government concerned or made responsible for the issuing of them or the repayment of the amount loaned. The matter seems to have become a bit mixed up in the minds of some of our people here and in Liberia because of the negotiations going on at that time between the Republic of Liberia and the government of the United States of America for a loan. The micropresentation was made capital of by the enemies of this organization in both countries, and, although many explanations have been made, it remains still in the minds of some that the organization was assuming authority not granted it. That the question should be asked "Will the granting of the $2,000,000 loan to Liberia interfere with or prevent the U. N. L.A. from carrying out its industrial and commercial work in Liberia, through its divisions there, as set out in their program" is quite reasonable, when we remember the misconstruction that has, from time of time, been placed upon the objects and intentions of the association and its work there; which, no doubt, was based upon statements and publications made by unscrupulous persons who had been misinformed of the situation. There can be no doubt that there have been grounds for suspicion on the part of some of the Liberians in consequence of these statements, and I am sure that it is all due to wrong information, or a misunderstanding of the real intentions and plans of the high officials of the association and the Executive Council. I am sure that the industrial plan as was originally set out for assisting the people in improving the country by opening up new settlements and developing their resources have nothing whatever to do with the loan agreement entered into between the two governments; neither is anything in the agreement prohibiting industrial enterprises being carried on by associations or individuals. There is plenty of room for industrial and commercial concerns in Liberia, and a large field for industrious people, who are always welcomed by the citizens when they go in the proper spirit It is to be regretted, however that a larger portion of money raised by this loan for the work there had to be used in other channels (see report of Chancellor, 1921), thereby delaying the work in Liberia and causing the association to be looked upon by many of the people there as a huge joke. It is necessary, therefore, that some steps should be taken to remedy the situation, otherwise it will be well to abandon the work, for the present at least. Race Solidarity It must be apparent to all well-thinking Negroes that the accomplishment of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and all other Eindred organizations, must eventually lead up to the consummation of the one great objective, Race Solidarity, which alone will bring to pave the redemption of Africa. In order to accomplish this we should endeavor to inculcate into the minds of the different elements of the race a true racial spirit and thereby awaken the latent qualities within them that will build up a strong and healthy feeling of brotherhood and race confraternity, and the U N I A. should endeavor to work in harmony and accord with the ideals and objectives of the several Negro Governments of the world, studying their methods and modes of operation, thereby attempting to produce a common feeling of oneness between them as far as is practicable through a bond of union and fellowship which will greatly assist in accomplishing the aims and objects of the association. Much assistance can be rendered to these governments from time to time if the right attitude is assumed, and much encouragement can be given and relief would be forthcoming if all of the organizations adopted a concerted action The editor of the "Liberia Methodist" (Monrovia) in his May issue on the subject. The Effect of Liberia Hundred Years of Existence in the Solution of the Negro Problem, is worth quoting, and expresses the idea very cleverly. He said Liberia has exerted a most salient influence within this one hundred years in demonstrating the future possibility of the Negro race. This experiment at self-government has by no means been a failure, as is so readily declared by pessimists and the short-sighted modern leader who hurles criticism at this struggling Republic that has stood the living ordnance of the world's diplomacy and kept intact this sacred heritage for the coming of Negro leaders born to direct the affairs of a great African State. This hope within the breasts of our present and past statesmen in directing this Black Republic through the ten testious knees of world politics warrant the highest commendation for the trials and sacrifices here endured by the pioneers of both Church and Negro in making possible this splendid possibility now held out to the Negroes of the world Liberia holds out the only possibility of the Negro Church to exert its influence in the Christian civilization of the two millions of native population within her bounds, and stands as a gateway through which must pass the other millions of her exiled sons who in time must return and push the influences of this Black Republic far beyond the bounds of her present territory. The Liberian ideal stands for the future possibility and realization of a great African Empire. In other words, 'Africa for the Africans' in the best and broadest sense of that term. This is the goal toward which all of our racial endowments should be directed. It becomes, therefore, the duty of the stronger races to encourage the forces that make for the accomplishment of the purposes for which the State was founded. It is no more harmful to make this the Negro's objective than for the Great Powers to lay claim to the other sections of the globe. The longer this Republic maintains her national integrity and the Lone Star is permitted to float among the flags of the nations, the more must this influence be felt in bringing about the possibilities of an African State. I should like to emphasize this thought of his which is in full accord with the ideas of all progressive leaders of the race. And when we consider that this periodical is not altogether controlled by Negroes it causes one to admire the bravery and stamina of the editor to touch on this subject in such an open and frank manner, and this should, therefore, encourage more of our editors to take a higher and broader view of this momentous question. I regret to note that the editor of the "Negro World," in some instances, is not very careful in the selection of the articles he accepts for publication for in the issue of January 14, 1922, an article appeared from the pen of one Martin, which I think might have been omitted. Although this writer, in the beginning of his article, expressed a very potent thought that there should be a unanimity of feeling and action by the many movements claiming to be working towards the one object, "Africa" he kills the true sense of the article in the fourth clause when he attempts to put venom in his language, by setting up one element of the race against another. As the mouthpiece of this association, which is working towards the great idea of Race Solidarity and which eventually will mean a free and redeemed Africa, an article of this nature should never have occurred in its pages. If the Negro Race is to become united in its ideals and efforts, and there can be no doubt that it will in time, there must be a common understanding among all of the leaders in the various organizations of a social, religious and political character, and to do this their ideals must be lofty and their objectives based upon pure motives, leaving out of their utterances things that will tend to show that narrow, selfish spirit that so often characterize many of the modern leaders of our race and tend to keep us separated. I am of the opinion that it will take many years of disappointments and failures to thoroughly convince us of the necessity of a combined effort. But this is bound to be the outcome of it all, and eventually the one aim and destiny of our race will be accomplished "Social Equality" I am convinced that this much discussed subject has been misunderstood in many instances; and the anxiety of some "high-class" Negroes to be considered by their white neighbors as their equals socially has led up to many unpleasant discussions. I still hold to my opinion expressed in my last address, and will add that no amount of legislation or discussion can compel any one to associate with those whom they do not care to associate with; every individual or set of individuals have the right to choose their associates. This is quite a different matter from political and industrial equality, for Negroes living in countries controlled by the white race it is but fair that it should be given whenever they are able to measure up to the requirements, but why make a fuss if people do not care for your company? Even in Africa, the Negroes' own home the white residents set up a society of their own, and in many instances exclude even the most refined and distinguished members of the race from their associations. I consider this subject of little importance in the solution of the race problem, and the least we worry over this question the better for those who live in foreign lands under white control. When two races live together in the same country it is natural that the stronger and most powerful of the two will dominate the weaker, and the result must be one of three things—absorption by assimilation, or a constant warring between them, or emigration. One great writer has prophesied that in the next forty years there will be no real Negroes in the United States of America. Let us hope that with the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to set up their own social circles this prophecy will be brought to nought and they will be able to hold their own against all odds. Religious Faith There has been much discussion about the religious faiths or beliefs of the Negro and I understand from the agenda that this is one of the subjects for discussion during the present Convention. I would suggest that this subject be postponed until a more opportune time for never was there a subject that it could create more discussion than this one. That the Negro is a religious race there can be no doubt and I think at a more suitable time, and in a religious assembly should a question of this nature be debated, for this is as far as it will be likely to go for a long time to come. Every individual or sect should be allowed to serve God according to the dictates of their own conscience. No race or country has the right to control the religious faith of its members or citizens, this is a very delicate subject and one that should deal very cautiously with, least we create discussion or breaches in the race that will take years to mend if at all. The many religious bodies, though can be of great service, if they can be lined up with the movement in the consummation of its plans Black Star Line I said in my last address that a successful Black Star Line would mean everything to the Negro race. It is very regrettable to note that this branch of the association has not made very much progress during the past year. In fact, it has been suggested by several of the newspapers of the Associated Negro Press of this country that the movement would make far greater success if the idea of a steamship line was abandoned. It may appear so when looking at it from their point of view, but I cannot for once agree with that statement. The difficulties that it has encountered and the hindrances that have been placed in the way to prevent it from becoming a success are known to many of us and are due largely to the actions of unrepupulous men of both races who had to do with the workings of the concern. The disappointment has been great and especially to the members of the organization and shareholders in other parts of the world particularly in Africa where all hopes of a solution of their many economic problems had been placed upon this branch of the organization. I hope that these difficulties can be overcome in time and that we will be able to profit by the aid experiences of the past and that some plan will be laid for a better management and control of so great a necessity in the future. In conclusion fellowmen, let me urge upon you the necessity of dealing with the various subjects that shall come before you in a very discreet and painstaking manner, in order not to deter the progress of the association, or affect the interests of the race materially. It is quite apparent that the association is in need of more men as well as means to carry on the great work it has in hand. real, true men, imbued with the spirit of race-consciousness, men who are willing to spend and be spent for the good of the cause, men who will not think so much of themselves and their prosperity, but are willing to make sacrifices for the organization and the uplift of the race. From the record of the past it can be easily seen that there is need of a better understanding between the members of the Executive Council and the President General and Administrator, and I consider this as being one of the greatest drawbacks to the movement. Men cannot work together successfully when there is not that unanimity of action and we should endeavor to find where the fault lies and make an effort to remedy it. It is unwise to be continually making changes in responsible positions in any organization or government, and this condition should be thoroughly scrutinized and carefully weighted before any action is taken. But it is certainly better to sacrifice men—if needs be—than the interests of the organization. Finally, permit me to ask your serious attention and consideration to all matters that the administrative head shall from time to time during your sitting put before you for the better control of the affairs of the organization and the accomplishment of its objectives. And with the hope that you will do your duty fearlessly and rightously, and that this will be a harmonious session, accomplishing great things for the organization and the race which will tend toward the redeeming of our benighted land, Africa. YE COLYUMNIST Once again it is woman who has the courage to take the initiative on the symbol of her sex. In this instance it is far from being one of praise Quite the reverse. In the Literary Digest for July 22, 1922, Kathleen O'Brien is quoted from the London Chronicle. In her article entitled "Blanked vs. unspanked Wives," she writes "Husbands no longer except in rare cases, administer corporal chastement. So far has civilization advanced. Yet sometimes—sometimes I wonder. Let us be plain with ourselves. Are wives any happier for being unspanked? Please observe that I do not support spanking qua spanking. I merely ask are wives happier than they were when spanking was considered respectable homely and decent." Personally we would be averse to do any such thing in these modern days of flapperism and atheleticism Now so long ago the modern Venues were likened unto Vacuna, but more later we have likened them unto Xanthippe No more is it possible for husbands to bluster and brow beat a wife into submission. In the matter of physical prowess they are now man's equal Watch their record keenly. In nearly all lines of sports they are able to hold their own even now to smooing their backy" in the streets. But continuing further Miss O'Brien says "Personally I don't believe they are It is a horrible admission to make but an indigenous honesty wrings it from me Naustastheia among married women is alarmingly prevalent Hysterical symptoms are on the increase. In short we have developed tantrums " Tantrums are an unpleasant affliction They are accompanied by profound depression, and your hair comes out Nobody having tantrums can be happy That is where the husband's responsibility comes in Didn't he promise to cherish her in tantrums and health? I consider it his positive duty to put his foot down firmly on a tantrum whenever it threatens to disturb his poor wife's native serenity" Since reading this article our entire point of view has been changed. We can but wonder at the drastic changes in many forms that have taken place, especially since grandmothers started to affect the habit of bobbed hair and short skirts. The fair ones are competing in all lines of endeavor with their sterner brothers. No more is that willingness to remain by the fire-side and tend the kides in evidence "The average husband," continues Miss O'Brien, takes the tantrums on his shoulder and says, 'Never mind dear you shall come and choose a nice new fur coat with me tomorrow' or some such. And of course the antrums get worse than ever and more hair comes out. How a man can have the heart to be so cruel to the poor innocent woman who married him I cannot understand. "Oh if husbands would only realize how much happier we should be if on the first appearance of a tantrum they would quite kindly and tenderly throw the furniture at our heads. After that are mute. We were of the opinion that the new order of things THE NEGRO and MUSIC By WILLIAM 18LE8 It is somewhat discouraging to state that although the time is ripe for the Negro to display his skill and ability in the field of fine art and higher learning, there should be an unwillingness on his part to advance into a higher musical development This may be attributed to many causes. First, for years and years he has imbibed the teachings that ragtime was his, and there he stayed and worked and worked until he was crowned king of "fags," and now he is told that jazz is his, and he seems willing to stay here and work and work to be crowned king of jazz. Second, as a musician he is chiefly employed in the lower standard of music, and consequently he not only lacks inspiration for higher development of the art, but seldom educates himself beyond the field in which he is employed. Third, many a Negro has gone through arduous training and after being prepared, launched out full of hope, only to be disappointed by finding the world cold to him. He does not get that support and encouragement from his own, which is so characteristic of other races, and in this way many a virtuoso has been lost to the race. We also find that for nearly two hundred years many of our great stars have found themselves at times wholly dependent upon the air times their success. With such rare talent among us, what a different story we would have to tell were we a nation with our own opera houses, music halls and theatre. Is not such an objective worth while striving for? This is but one of the many joys missing in the life of the Negro, and should be the longing in the soul of every musician. It is true that despite these handicaps many a Negro has long since broken away from the shackles of slave songs and that we can point with pride to many musicians of the race who have risen to heights of fame in musical achievements, but, as I have stated, on account of their dependence upon another race for success, they have at times met set boundaries beyond which they could not pass. A Great Negro Artist One of the many musicians who have met with this setback was Joseph Boulogue, a French Negro, and one of the PART V ```markdown ``` SURGEON-GENERAL DEPARTMENT MALARIA ITS CAUSES AND PREVENTION The cause of malaria is an animal parasite commonly called plasmodium malariae although, since it is not found in the plasma, but in the corpuscles, it should properly be called a hemamela. The intermediate host of this parasite is the mosquito of the genus Anopheles, which obtains the spores from infected human beings and transmits them by being other and vividus. The definitive host is man. The parasites inside the red blood corpuscles absorb the pigment as hegrow becoming themselves pigmented and when fully matured undergo segmentation, with the production of large numbers of spores. Rupture of the parasites liberates these spores which ener other corpuscles and develop into matured parasites, repeating the course of development, which varies in length according to the species. The preventive measure consists in preserving the inoculation of individuals by mosquitoes. The latter are carriers but never the originators of the disease. Destruction of the breeding places of mosquitoes by draining or filling pools of stagnant water and by screening all open receptacles such as cinerals and water barrels. Prevention of mosquito contamination by screening from the insects all those affected with the disease or by random removing the parasites from the peripheral circulation by the proper administration of quinine. Withdrawal in a distance of some miles from localities where cases of malaria are present. Preventing the multiplication of the parasites by the continuous exhibition of small doses of quinine. By preventing the development of the mosquito larvae by ditching and drawing the breeding ground and by the liberal use of petroleum where drainage is impracticable, by screening all houses in which malarial patients are confined. Eucalyptus trees are said to afford some protection against mosquitoes. Symptoms. - Malarial fever begin with a chill, which may last for an hour or so, which may be attended by vomiting. This is succeeded by the hot stage. The patient feels hot, face is flushed, the eyes are infeced and the pulse is full and rapid. The temperature may go up as high as 106 deg. During this stage the patient complains of severe pains in head, back and limbs, lasting from two hours or more. During the third stage the pain is discomfort gradually diminish fever subsides and the patient breaks out into a free perspiration which he usually fails asleep awaking he feels fairly well. The duration of a malaria paroxysm about twenty-four hours. was of seasoned permanency. to the other hand when a sister steals and its evident she speaks enlarge it becomes us to take heed of the day Darwinism may yet prove that he was not Adams missing rib. Then we may foretell what another new order may bring forth! L. L. H. greatest musicians and swordmen of the eighteenth century. He was born in the island of Guadeloupe December 25, 1745, but spent most of his life in France, where he was educated. He had a conspicuous career and was accepted in the highest society of France. As a swordman he defecated some of the best blades of Europe. As a musician, at the age of twenty-one, he had inscribed to him his Opus LX, six trios for two violins and bass. He was one of the first French musicians who wrote string quartets and preceded such great composers as Toschi (1768) Cannabich (1766), Boecherini (1767) Talou and Missiwecki (1767), Haydn (1768), Seemana, Gasman, Regel and Aspelmayer (1769), Vanhall, Gossec and Carlo Stamitz (1770), de Mochl (1771) and J. Ch. Bash (1774). So brilliant a musician was he that his appointment as director of the opera at the Royal Academy of Music was seriously considered. This appointment was bitterly opposed by some of the famous singers and dancers headed by Miles. Arnold Gulmard and Rosalie, who positioned to the Queen stating that their honor and the delicacy of their conscience would not allow them to take orders from a Negro. Once again the curse of race prejudice seemed to say "Thus far all those go and no further." This state of affairs exists today in a more systematic form, and but for a few scattered exceptions the Negro will not be able to attain the height of his musical ambition until he has created for himself institutions which are so essential to his progress in this line of endeavor.

IMPREGNABLE AS THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR LIBERTY HALL, New York, July 89 - The Universal Negro Improvement Association is anchored throughout the world like the Rock of Gibraltar-impregnable in every way. And what do we see? We see men, we see organizations trying to fight the Universal Negro improvement Association. But as how the waves of the ocean would dash against the Rock of Gibraltar with the hope of destroying that solid rock but have failed to destroy it, even will those individuals and those small movements who fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association fail to destroy it. This declaration, made by the Hon Marcus Garvey tonight in what might be called his pre-convention speech, was applauded to the echo and inspired new faith and confidence in the strength of the organization whose power, instead of declining, as the enemies of the organization would have themselves believe, is being felt throughout the world, bringing converts by the thousands into the fold and linking up the scattered millions of the race whose hopes of a future had been faltering. Tonight's meeting (on the eve of the great Convention) gave a fair indication that the Third International Convention of the Negroes of the World, called by the Universal Negro improvement Association, will eclipse in every way all former conventions and will, moreover, go down in history as the most representative gathering of Negroes ever assembled anywhere in the world. An enthusiastic crowd packed the vast auditorium to the doors and cheered every utterance which the Hon. Marcus Garvey made in reference to the Convention. The subject of his speech was very timely and, in outlining the work of the Association, he said it was endeavoring to create a new spirit within the old race. It was endeavoring to construct a new civilization to the satisfaction of this new race. It was endeavoring to build a nation so that in the future we shall not be the subjects and citizens of other races and nations, but we shall be the citizens of a government entirely our own. It was a ringing message that sunk deep down into the hearts of the audience and sent them away feeling that in the President General they have a leader whose sincerity and devotion to the cause is unquestionable, and that nothing will be countenanced by him which will tend to distract its followers from the program which he been mapped out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the development of the race. The other speakers were Sir Wm H. Forris, Assistant President General and Hon. Rudolph Smith, leader of the Western Province of the West Indies. Mr. Forris' speech was, as usual, enlightening and inspiring. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said, under the leadership of His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garves has shown a faith and courage and determination and stamina that no other living organization has. It has in it a quality that can stand the pounding of the sea. It has in it that quality, that can ride over the waves of adversity. Continuing, he said. "I believe that at the coming convention a constructive and creative program will be evolved which will place the Negro in systematic and definite channels so that his force will not be dissipated, but will be molded and forged towards one definite end." Following are the apseches KON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: The subject of my address this evening is "The Work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association." The movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has developed within the space of a few years from a local, domestic organization into an international movement. Not only international in name, but international in its scope of organization. Just at this time hundreds of thousands of men and women are wending their way from the four corners of the world toward Liberty Hall, New York, because for the entire month of August we are to hold a convention representative of the interests of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, to discuss questions, measures and issues that are dear to our hearts. Our Three Hundred Years of Oppression For over three hundred years we have been scattered as a race, held down in slavery, held down in bondage and serfdom and regarded as an inferior race as a people who had no rights to be respected by the other races and nations of the world. For those 200 years we tolerated such an attitude from the other races and nations of the world until the year 1814 ushered in not only for us but to the whole world a new spirit, a new principle, a new policy. The war of 1814 between the nations of Europe brought about such changed conditions, brought about such changed conditions that men everywhere be learning to all races declared for a new birth, declared for a new life. Among the many who declared for this new birth, who declared for this new life after the 1814 war, Negroes. All of these 400,000,000 did not in one voice say out for this new life for this new birth, but those from among them who had the vision of the future, knew from living them, who knew the knowledge, possessed by their knowledge, people, and all human beings had learned declared the new life for them, and the new life for the new life had learned a change in their knowledge, and in their knowledge for the whole world. Reduced Fares for Delegates and Members Attending the Third Annual Negro Convention To the Presidents of the Eastern and Central Divisions: The Trunk Line Association, which controls the lines of the eastern territory, and the Central Passenger Association, which controls the central territory, have consented to grant to our delegates coming to the convention, through their routes, excursion fares, at the rate of fare and a half for round trip, at the minimum of $1.00 for the round trip; providing the delegate or member can produce an identification certificate from the Association. The Trunk Line Territory is as follows: New York State (east of and including Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Suspension Bridge, and Salamanca), New Jersey, Pennsylvania (east of and including Erie, Oil City and Pittsburgh), Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and West Virginia (east of and including Wheeling, Parkersburg, Kenova, Orange and Norfolk). Tickets will be sold from the above mentioned territories from July 22th to August 1d, and persons desiring to attend the convention must leave for their destination on or between those dates. Delegates must arrange to return so as to reach their original starting point, over the same route, not later than midnight of September 6th, otherwise they will have to pay full fare on their return trip. One identification certificate will suffice for each member, including dependent members of his or her family. The Central Passenger Association authorizes the same, fare and one-half fare, round trip or Identification Certificate with the same conditions mentioned above. The Central Passenger Association controls the lists in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. A portion of Louisiana and Mississippi. However, so avoid mischievous delegates or members are advised to inquire of their local inspector if this reduced fare applies to the route they intend to take. Please inform the High Commission General Office immediately by Special Secretary Rafter or Evidence the number of Identified Certificates you require for your local member or your Division. himself a nonentity Today the man who seven or eight years ago believed himself a nonentity regards himself as a man with a purpose Today the man who regarded himself seven years ago as being satisfied is now discontented. What is he discontented over? He is discontented with his condition he is dissatisfied with his condition he looks out upon the world and sees that conditions are such as to render happiness and comfort to another race and therefore he is determined to create such conditions for himself The Work of the U N I A Opposing Forces Active A Warning to the Enemy We say, therefore, to the Negro emplies of the past. We are ready for you, and before the 31st of August comes we are going to give you your Waterloo. (Applause.) They threaten to smash the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let me tell you somebody is going to be smashed in New York between the first and 31st o. August. (Renewed applause.)

Rudolph Smith Deliver Inspiring Addresses interfere with any organization or any Negro individual, but any Negro individual or Negro organization within the bounds of the United States of America that thinks it can fight and intimidate the Universal Negro Improvement Association—let you be the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, let you be Negro Socialists—let me tell you you are preparing for your Waterloo (Applause) we do not want a fight among Negro organizations, we do not want a fight among Negroes, because it does not help the race, but it will appear that some people desire a fight. If you want a fight you are going to have it. So you will understand, whether it be Pickens or whether it be Chandler Owens, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has no fears of anybody and when you interfere with the Universal Negro Improvement Association you will take the consequences (Applause). I say to you if you want a fight you are going to have it between the first and the 31st of August. The liberty of a race is at stake the destiny of a people is at stake, and so long as one drop of red blood remains in the veins of Marcus Garvey the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on forever (Great applause) This movement is not subsided by an alien race. This is no movement hemmed in by alien influences. This is an independent movement of 400,000,000 for liberty (Applause) And, in the words of Patrick enry, "We care not what others may say, but as for us, give us liberty or give us death" (Renewed applause) Tell me that we must falter and I laugh you to scorn, tell me that we must take a back place and I ask you the reason why. There is no back place in the world for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing the interests of 400,000,000. So I say to you delegates, I say to you deputies, you are here because of the great cause, you are here because of a great principle. Enemies from within and enemies from without will try to intimidate you, will try to divert you from the great cause which led you on to Liberty Hall. I sound a warning tonight from Liberty Hall and I pray that God will lead you in the way you should go, so that on the 31st of August when this great convention is adjourned, you will be able to go to your respective homes saying to yourselves. We have done our duty and we did it well. May God's blessing rest upon you, members, delegates and friends. Pray through the month of August for the triumph of our cause, pray to the great Jehovah, the God Omnipotent, for success. We doubt not that success will perch upon our banners because we accepted His only Son Jesus Christ the Blessed Redeemer as our captain and standard bearer. Whereso he leads we will follow throughout the entire month of August (Loud and prolonged applause) PROP. WM. H. FERRIB'B SPEECH Sir William H. Ferris. Assistant President General, spoke as follows.

Local, and Friends—I have been studying this audience tonight as I have studied similar audiences in the country. I find that the black man feels that he is at the foot of the ladder and he desires to rise to the top. There is that instinct in man by which he likes to grow and develop by which he likes to possess the good things of this world and get a set in measure of freedom. The difference between the Negro and the other races of mankind in the past has been that the black man thought he could lift his status by writing and phonospinning, but if he were to try that nations rise races rise and individuals rise not by what they say but by what they do. We have been told about great nations in the pages of history we read about Babylon and Rome and Greece. They left an impression because they could put in practice and material embodiment the dream of the ideals of the mind. They tell the story of Alexander the great that no one could ride the horse Hucphalus which was a restless steed. Alexander studied that horse coolly and analytically. He discovered that the horse was afraid of his own shadow and what did he do. He turned the head of the horse away from the sun so that he could not see his shadow and then he mounted and rode him. The black man is like that horse B asleep has he been afraid of his own shadow, his color has been like a pall dragging him down, he feels I cannot do this my race cannot do that, because I am black, forgetting that it is not the color of the skin or the texture of the hair that determines a man's potential and kinetic energy, but his brain power his heart and soul and what he is as a man. As a rule when our orators address colored audiences they are always talking about the attitude of some other race Do you not know that the great men in history—all the great races and nations—have been men who have not succumbed to their environment, whether it was physical, material or spiritual, but have conquered it?

S. A. reason that men like Julius Caesar and Napoleon and Toussaint I'Ouverture and Frederick Douglass live in history was because there was that thought in them which made them superior to their environment, they molded it. If the black man gets his mind and heart that the sky is the limit of his activity and his achievement, if he gets the thought embedded in his mind that in force can overcome him provided he mobilizes his forces and uses his reason and discretion nothing can stop the progress of the Negro. U. N. I. A. Has Shown Faith and Courage The Universal Negro Improvement Association under the leadership of His Excellency, the Right Hon. Marvin Garvey has shown a faith and courage and a determination and a stamina that no other living organization has. It has in it a quality that can stand the pounding of the sea. It has in it that quality that can ride over the waves of adversity. All the Negro needs is to enlarge his vision. They tell in the Bible. Where there is no vision the people perish," and the Greeks wrote over the temple at Delphi this motto Know thyself." Most black men feel themselves as inferior, hence they cannot do what other men do, hence other men take their own attitude toward them, but it is the black man knew himself as a spiritual being with an intellect capable of growth and development with a will power, with a physique that took him through 250 years of slavery and then emerged with physical vitality and faith in God and his unbounded possibilities, no force can hold the Negro back. Heretofore at our conventions we have acted, we have created and have complained and I believe that at the coming convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association a constructive and creative program will be evolved which will place the Negro in systematid definite channels so that his force will not be dissipated but will be moulded and forged towards one definite end.

RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon Rudolph Smith was the next speaker and took for his subject, 'Africa the Land of Perpetual Sunshine.' He said that many of us in the past when we heard about Africa with its teeming wealth and mineral resources looked on with interest and felt within ourselves that there was something good in the land of our forefathers but at the same time we were thinking about the great things in Africa. Propaganda has been spread by another race which conveyed to us the idea that heathens, savages and cunnibals inhabited that land of perpetual sunshine with the result that day after day our children began to think that Africa was not a fit place for them to live. In the schools our children have been given books to read telling them of the savages in Africa and shown pictures depicting the African as an univilized being and the feeling was created within them that Africans are really savages hence they lost interest in all that pertained to Africa. Furthermore in their homes they saw pictures of great men of other races—statemen artists, scientists but none of their own race and thus the impression was created that his race A GRAND FASHION SHO WILL BE HELD AT LIBERTY HALL DURING The August Convention All those desiring to take part are asked to se for gowns, etc., early to All those desiring to take part are asked to send orders for gowns, etc., early to UNIVERSAL DRESS MAKING DEPT.

EASON, AMERICAN LEADER OF THE U. N. L. A., ELECTRIFIES CHARLESTON, S. C., AUDIENCES BY MRS. ELGIE DORSETT The series of meetings held here were somewhat hampered by bad weather. On Sunday, afternoon, July 2, it rained in torrents for about two hours just prior to the time set for the appearance of the speaker, and it looked as if the meeting would be a failure. At about 2:30, however, the sky cleared. At about 4 o'clock a fair-sized crowd had assembled at the Morris Street Baptist Church, but later in the afternoon the hurch was well filled. A splendid program had been prepared, but due to the inclemency of the weather several of the soloists failed to appear. The American leader, J. W. H. Eason, introduced President George P McClay of Division No. 113, who presented Mr. W. H. Meggett as master of ceremonies, who acted in a similar capacity on Monday evening in a very creditable manner. Miss N W Vaughn, the lady president, read the preamble and delivered a short address on Monday evening. Her remarks were well received. Mr S. Harris then spoke briefly in a most eloquent manner and pointed out the non-superiority of the races His eloquence held the audience spell-spound. Messra. E. W. Bristow and Albert Dent delivered short addresses, and each did his part in a very commendable manner. His Excellency J W H Eason was then introduced. H he presented the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in such a forceful manner that it was an inspiration to everyone with a drop of Negro blood in his veins, and no doubt will result in many joining the organization. He said that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have decided to henceforth develop themselves to the highest standard, and he also pointed out that the function of the association wi to teach Negroes everywhere to become self-reliant and to promote the development of their own race as well as to work out their own problems in their own way. He pictured the whites standing by George Washington in the establishment of this great American government and pointed out the necessity of Negroes everywhere joining forces to establish a government of their own. He explained that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is for Negroes in every walk of life and that Marcus Garvey is inspiring Negroes to organize for the accomplishment of one aim—the redemption of Africa. He explained that the movement is not organized to harm any one but that, rather, it came to get slavery out of Negroes, and that Negroes who do not do as they are told are going to be made to do so. He urged the practice of thrift on the part of the members of the race, and asked that Negroes cease making other races rich and stop their foolishness. He encouraged the development of racial ideals and denounced the lethargy of Negroes telling them that it is time for them to wake up. He outlined the great work the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing throughout the world, and said that the world will soon be compelled to spell the word Negro with a capital letter. He pointed out that in every human being in the world today there is room for improvement and that none is perfect, where one who excels in one direction he fails in another, be it physically, financially, politically or otherwise. In outlining the objects of the African Communities League Mr Eason said that the league taught that where Negroes are in the majority they should become the predominant business element in such sections. He pointed out that the movement is for the unification of the interests of the Negro peoples of the world—physically, intellectually, financially, politically and commercially. He encouraged the solidarity of the race. The address of his Excellency was no instructive that the audience was under a spell when he was speaking. There were special programs prepared for each of these meetings, but that presented on Wednesday evening was the most successful, the participants being exceedingly punctual, and each and everyone deserves great credit. The soprano solo by Miss Alberta Hunt and the tenor solo by Mr H. M. Davies were excellent and "brought down the house." Special mention should be made of Miss Maggie Chapman and Miss Victoria Johnson, who gave instrumental (piano) selections in a very artistic manner. There was also a piano solo by Miss Geraldine Matthieu which was very excellent. The Ethiopian national anthem was sung by Mrs. Elsie Dorsett and Mr. S. M. Sandera. The members of the Morris Baptist Church choir deserve special mention for their excellent music at the three meetings held in that church. It is deplorable to relate, but from the attitude of the clergy of Charleston it is clear that they do not care to advance the welfare of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. To the writer's own knowledge there were only two ministers at any of our meetings, though everyone of them was officially invited to attend. The writer herself sent these special invitations, having written and mailed them. The ministers who were to take part in the program failed to appear. Something must be wrong with these "divines," for I am sure there is nothing wrong with our grand and great program. THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF U. N. I. A. CELEBRATES LIBERIA'S NATAL DAY BY A LUNCHEON IN HONOR OF HIS HIGHNESS, THE POTENTATE; HIS HIGHNESS G. O. MARK ALSO A GUEST OF HONOR The Advance Guard of the Convention—Captain Gaines Addresses the Philadelphia Division By SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS Assistant President General of the Wednesday, July 26, was Liberia's Natal Day. It was the seventy-fifth anniversary of her establishment as an independent republic. Although the American Colonization Society sent the first colored pioneers there in 1822, one hundred years ago, it was not until July 26, 1847, twenty-five years later, that the little republic made her bow to the world as a real nation. As His Highness, the Potentate, Gabriel M Johnson, and His Highness, the Supreme Deputy, George O Mark, had recently arrived in New York City from Monrovia, the Executive Council decided to give a luncheon in their honor on Liberia's Natal Day, in the commodious hotel that is managed by Messrs. De Van and Jane. Consequently, on Wednesday afternoon, July 26, the tables were set and decorated in the De Van for the Executive Council and its distinguished guests. His Highness, the Supreme Potentate, Gabriel M. Johnson, was seated at the center of the central table. His Highness, the Supreme Deputy, and His Excellency, the Right Honorable Marcus Garvey, were seated at his side. His Excellency, the American leader, J. W. H. Eason, His Excellency, the West Indian leader, Rudolph Smith, and the Assistant President General were seated at the end of the table. Seated at two tables at right angles to the central table were His Excellency, the West Indian leader, Sydney De Bourg, Right Honorable Secretary General Fred A. Toote, Rt Hon. Minister of Legions Capt. R. L. Gaines, Rt Hon. High Commissioner F. Wilcoom Ellegor, Rt Hon. Minister of Industry and Labor U. S. Posson, Rt Hon. Assistant Secretary General J. B. Yearwood, Rt Hon 2nd Assistant Secretary General R. L. Poston, Acting Counsel General Hon. Vernal Williams, and the High Chancellor G. R. Stewart. The guards of honor from the Universal Legions stood at the head of the table, and the Black Star Line hand regaled the guests with entrenching music, as they partook of the delicious repast. Miss Wilfred Pinder presented the Potentate with a handsome bouquet of flowers in an appropriate speech on behalf of the employees of the association, and Mrs. L. Lipscomb also presented the Supreme Deputy with another handsome bouquet in another appropriate speech. Then the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General of the U. N. I. A., in an eloquent speech, spoke of Liberia's possibilities. The High Commissioner, Dr. Wilcom Ellegor, representing the Rt Hon. G. E. Stewart and the Rt. Hon. J. B. Yearwood, the other members of the committee, in his introductory speech gave a brief sketch of the history of Liberia in which he referred to Liberia holding her own for 100 years. He said, "The pen is mightier than the sword" in referring to Liberia's diplomatic career. He also referred to Elijah Johnson, the grandfather of ex-Major Gabriel M. Johnson, when the colored colonists faced trials and tribulations, and Commissioner Ayers, the white gentleman in charge of the party, contemplated leading the colonists back to America, it was the heroism of Elijah Johnson that caused them to stand firm. Then Dr Ellegor introduced the High Charcoalier, Dr. G. E. Stewart, as the master of ceremonies. The following toasts were responded to: "The Negroes of the World," the Hon. Marcus Garvey "America," by Rt Hon J W H Eason. "Colored Womanhood," Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis. "The West Indians," Rt Hon Rudolph Smith. "The Republic of Liberia." His Highness Gabriel M. Johnson. "Sierra Leone," His Highness G. O. Mark. "The Officials of the U N I A," Hon. F. Foote. Very touching was the address of the Supreme Deputy Potentate G. O. Mark. He spoke of the hospitality of ex-Major Johnson and the Liberians, and their kindness and sympathy when his mother passed away. He told how 100 years ago Elijah Johnson was traveling in America organizing colored men to go to Africa, and how today, a hundred years later, his grandson, the ex-Major of Monrovia, was touring America endeavoring to stimulate further interest in Liberia. He alluded to Liberia's famous men and made a flattering reference to Chief Justice Dasson, who could hold his own in any international legal circle. He said that he had not a single enemy in Liberia, and would take out his citizenship papers in Liberia upon his return. The Assistant President General moved a vote of thanks to Messra De Van & Fana. The Secretary General moved a vote of thanks to Professor Iales, the Black Star Line Band, the Guard of Honor and the employee for their presentations. As the President General said in his address, Liberia and Abysinia are the only two independent Negro governments in Africa, and their develop- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1822 mant will mean much to the sons and daughters of Africa. The Advance Guard of the Convention Already several delegates to the Third International Convention have visited the Negro World office, First Commissioner West of Panama and Mr Charles Henry Bryant the Deputy Executive Secretary appeared. Then they came in such great numbers from New Aberdeen, Canada, San Diego, California, North Carolina and other places that we couldn't remember their names. As we moved around the building, we found every clerk in the president general's, secretary general's office and high commissioner's busy, we saw the secretary general, the international organizer and the minister of legions and the second assistant secretary general busy at the desk, in hand with papers before them, while the assistant secretary general with manuscript piled before him was busy sorting them and dictating letters. If the activity in the parent body's office is an index of the third international convention, the forthcoming convention will eclipse the two preceding ones. Capt. Gaines in Philadelphia On Sunday, July 16th, we were scheduled to address the Philadelphia Division. After a conference with Dr. Lionel Francis, the president of the division, we learned that Capt. E. L. Gaines, the Minister of Legions, was coming direct from Newport News. Va., to Philadelphia that Sunday. The railroad and coal strike prevented his going into West Virginia. The result was that Capt. Gaines spoke before the Philadelphia division in the Salem Baptist Church in the afternoon, while he addressed a meeting down stairs and upstairs in Liberty Hall in the evening. We were called to North Philadelphia and did not arrive Sunday afternoon until after Capt. Gaines had spoken. We saw nearly one hundred persons standing outside of the church and we saw every available sitting and standing space jammed from the pulpit to the outer doors. Not only were the galleries crowded, but also people were crowding the gallery stores. Dr R. R. Wright, Jr., the banker and editor occupied a seat on the platform. We understand that traffic was stopped, and the street cars and vehicles paused while the Legions and Black Cross Nurses escorted "Daddie" to the church. They informed us that he spoke for one hour and a half that hot July afternoon to that congested house and made the welkin ring. Notwithstanding the heat and the long afternoon service, the lower Liberty Hall was filled and the upper Liberty Hall was half filled to greet the Assistant President General. The great crowds and the enthusiasm in the afternoon and the attendance at night showed the vitality of the Philadelphia Division, as the Philadelphia Division had a prearranged rally neither the Assistant President General nor the Minister of Legion's interfered with it, but seconded the heroic efforts of Dr. Lionel Francis to go over the top. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CHIL DREN OF THE MORON, CUBA. The Sunday School children are preparing for their entertainments on August 6-7 in aid of their organ fund. They also cause the coming functions to be of greater interest than what was really anticipated. There are envelopes printed, and one to each child is given to collect whatever he or she can, and the child that collects the most money will get a beautiful Sunday School Bible. Therefore, the problem is left to be solved as to who will be the winner. I know that the Misses Walker, Palmer, Griffiths and McClaren are going some by boosting the cause. I really don't know which of them will get the Bible. Anyway, Apheonia and Regle, the platform generals, have not made any great showing as yet. So as Gertle and Mildred, the great jazzers. We will wait and see developments. R. C RUSSELL Moron Division 274. STORK VISITS NEW HAVEN DIVISION. U. N. I. A. On Sunday evening, July 16, 1922, the stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Idaile, 604 Orchard street, with a bouncing 12-pound baby girl. The proud father, Mr. Daniel Idaile, named her Doris Altena. Both mother and baby and baby getting along nicely. "Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Idaile are faithful and loyal members of the division and hope that baby Doris will grow on so that she may be able to take up her part in the division of the U. N. L. A. NEW PRESIDENT FOR NORFOLK, VA., DIVISION Mr. H. B. Franklin, A. M., has been elected president of Norfolk Division No. 24. COL. ADRIAN JOHNSON ADDRESSES THE WEST PALM BEACH U. N. L. A I desire to tell of the wonderful work done by Colonel Adrian Johnson, who spent a 10 days' visit with us on his way to the convention, beginning Sunday evening, July 2. A very interesting program was prepared for the evening. Among those who took part were St Patrick's cornet band, clarinet solo. A. Armbrister, cornet solo. Master Fred Artwood, and solo by Ilazel Raford. Then the master of ceremonies introduced the Colonel. As he rose to his feet he was welcomed by loud and lengthened cheers. My subject, he said, will be "The Signs of the Time." The demonstration of this theme brought serious attention from all present. Monday evening, July 2 Mount Zion Baptist Church choir gave a beautiful rendition. A very large crowd was out to hear him again. As they were so enthused the evening before, they came in throngs. His subject was "I Came. I Saw, I Conquered." The demonstration of this theme he made wonderfully plain. On Tuesday, July 4, at 10.30 a.m. a big parade from Liberty Hall to the park was held. Music was furnished by St. Patrick's cornet band. We had a big barbecue and dancing and a very good time. The Colonel gave a wonderful address, subject "The Aims and Objects of This Association," the explanation of which made the day still brighter and more enjoyable. Sunday evening and night at Liberty Hall, two very interesting meetings were largely attended. In the later meeting, the master of ceremonies gave a very interesting address, subject "The Negro's Belief," to which the audience gave many compliments. The Colonel then spoke of his departure, asking us to organize and keep organized to support the work of the U N. I. A., trust in God and follow the example of our noble leader, so that in the near future, by the help of God, we may be emancipated from racial slavery and serfdom EDWARD CHASE, President JOHN THURSTON, Secretary F D. COWELS, Treasurer REV R. M. BLANEY, M O C DR. WEST VISITS BOCAS DEL TORO DIV. --- BOCAS DEL TORO, July 6—On Tuesday, June 27, Base Line Chapter was once more visited by the High Commissioner for the Republic of Panama, Dr E. C West. At about 5 p.m. the Legions of Farm is on parade under command of Lieutenant E. Lewis were inspected by the High Commissioner, who fairly satisfied, and the company, including the nurses, retired to prepare for mass meeting immediately after. A company from Farm 4 Chapter in procession, drew up before Liberty Hall under command of Lieutenant Wynt, in honor of the visit of the honored guest, who expressed his appreciation of their presence. They also retired, having a good distance to go and difficult roads to encounter. At 7 p.m. Liberty Hall was packed to its capacity. The Doctor took his seat, accompanied by his secretary and the executive officers of the chapter. A baptismal service was solemnly observed, two infants were dedicated under the banner of the colors of the Red, Black and Green. The opening ode, "From Greenland's ice Mountain," was sung, followed by prayer, after which the Commissioner proceeded to business of great importance. Mr George Athbink, the Commissioner's secretary, took pleasure in outlining the travels and work of the Commissioner all through Colon, Panama, and Bocas del Toro, which was gratifying. The Commissioner, before leaving, charged the officers and members of their duty and divided them to get their charter as early as possible. The night was well spent and all went home well pleased. JOHN J. SMITH. General Secretary. Base Line P O. CAPT. E. L. GAINES IN CHARLOTTE, N. C. The Hon. Capt. E. L. Galnes, Minister of Legions, was with the Charlotte Division of the U. N. I. A. on June 28, 29, 30 and until July 2. He made the greatest impression on the people that has ever been made. He stirred the city throughout. I think our division can get in a working condition now, or at least I am in hope we will move with a band of Negroes linked together under the Red, Black and Green in honor of the Hon. Marcos Garvey and by the help of the great Jehovah we took for success in our motherland. We hope for Captain Galnes again. D. M. BOBBORO.

Worthington, Worthington, New York. our noble organization has been raised by men and women of our race, upon some of whom trusteeship and guardianship were incumbent, and they have betrayed their trusts and guards and caused great leaks in the cause. But it is said that no man succeeds unless he remembers his past experience. I know too well that there are many more Judasies in your midst, but I am sure that their acts will return to them, and the world will know them as traitors of other races are known when they betray their trust. There are in the world men and women with great influence to build up, but none keep the up when adversity comes. Such persons are imbecile, and through their imbecility they draw good men and women with them who have lesser or no influence. I know that they will be closer watched now, and the man and woman shall be known by his or her works and deeds.

The program of the Convention this year will be far in advance of that of the two preceding conventions. Important Commissions will be sent abroad from the Convention, and a great deal of constructive work will be done and representatives sent to different parts of the world to carry out the commands of the Convention. Therefore, it is incumbent upon every Negro to contribute his or her bit to meet the tremendous expenses that will be inflicted upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The demonstration this year will surpass anything of its kind ever staged by any race. It is expected that several thousand delegates and members will attend the opening of the Convention on the first of August. Delegates will be coming from all parts of the world to take part in the deliberations of the Convention, and the British, French, United States, Italian, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Governments have been requested to send representatives to the Convention for the purpose of stating their social policies in regard to their government of Negro and Negroid peoples under their dominion. Please send in your dollars, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred, to help in the work. Address your communication to Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, United States of America.

Millares de Delegados y Representantes han arribado a estas playas para tomar participacién en este gran con- clave internacional Al considerar que estos seflores y seforas vienen de los cuatro puntos del globo, deducimos que un gran interés ha sido manifestado en la labor realizada por la Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. aun demostrado en beneficio de movimiento alguno Los delegados reumidos en Nueva York son verdadera y exclusivamente representantes de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del umiverso. Ellos han sido selec- cionados por sus respectivas comunidades para representar- las en este gran congreso, siendo, por consiguiente, las ideas expresadas por estos sefiores delegados, el verdadero sentimiento de la Raza Negra en general. En épocas pasadas dos 6 tres individuos se reunfan y délineaban un programa para la raza entera, consideran- dose absolutos directores del pueblo, Hoy dfa el pueblo sanciona sus propios asuntos por medio del poder de la franquicia comtin abolicndo de ese modo una representa- cién ficticia. ., lodas las vias de comunicacién en el universo entero s€ dirigiran a la ciudad de Nueva York el dia primero de Agosto, porque los quince muliones de Negros de los Estados Unidos de America, asi como tambien los millones de Negros de los paises limitrofes estan interesados en que un gran contingente de elementos de nuestra raza se d:rija hacia la gran metropolis de esta nucién en dicho dfa. En la noche de apertura, cn el Castillo del Regimiento No 71 de esta ciudad, los directores de la Asociacién Uni- versal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra y los oradores representantes de los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del mundo, declararin Ja politica de nuestra raza y es de esperarse que una nueva actitud universal sea asumida inmediatamente La Convencién estar4 compuesta de representantes procedentes de todas las esferas.

Esto ser4 demostrado en esta Tercera Convencién Internacional, cuya parte legislativa ay tendra que envidiar a las reglas de los parlamentos, senados y congresos de fos gobiernos constituidos. | Durante los trabajos preliminares de la Convencion se elegira la delegacién que ha de visitar los diversos gobiernos de Europa y presentar a la Liga de Naciones en su proxima asamblea, el programa que nuestra raza se Propone llevar a cabo.

Ascensos en la _ Legacién - Cubana de Washington Noticias recibidas informan que el doctor Arturo Pardo y Almeida, secretarin de la Legacion de Cuba en Washington, que ha actuade como encargado de negocios desde que el doctor Céspedes salié para la Habana, para hacerse cargo del puesto de secretario de Estado, hi sido nombrado consejero de la Le gacién.

La, Cuestién Filipina Parece No Tener Simpatizadores La recepcion por el presidente Harding de la mision independen- tista fihpma y la defensa de la au- tononua hecha por los representan- tes de los islefios, trae a la mente el hecho de que ningiin radical, pro- gresista @ defencor de la justicia dentro 6 fuera del congreso ha de- clarado nada tltimamente sobre la antigua promesa de que los Estados Unidos se retirarian de las Filipinas tan pronto como se estableclera uf gobierno estable. Los republicanos y la oposicién han permanecido en el mismo silencio sobre este punto. El senador Borah ha sido escucha- do sobre los temas de Irlanda y Corea; se ha deplorado la ausencia del gobierno propio en Egipto, Me- sopolania y" Shastungy Fail Puerto Rico han tenido sus dias en la actualidad. Pero los filipinos parecen no tener amigos. Tal vez su demanda es demas‘ado cortés y discreta para excitar a nadie a lanzarse a la accién; tal vez su caso es demasiado antiguo ik ser novedoso y ‘demasiado legal ara levantar ninguna indignacién. mt vez el informe Wood-Forbes ha servido como yn pafio mojado. De todos modos, habiendo ya los filipinox establecido un gobierno estable, de acuerdo con las condi- ciones presentadas, se hallan obli- gados a presentar su caso sin ayuda ninguna. Hay por de contado, vastas exis- tencias de madera de primera cali- dad y casi todo el cdfiamo del mun- do en las Filipinas, y estén siendo explotagos 6 desarrollados por em:- presas clen por ciento americanas.

El brujo imperial es intercambiable con el fete de len fascist La dice dife- Tencia entre ellos es accidental, Su- cede que odian a distintas clases de personas Eso no importa.

RAWLINS DONATES $25 TO THE CONVENTION FUND To William Ferris Assistant President General of Universal Negro Improvement Association Dear Bir- I am inclosing a check for 20 as my contribution to the con- vention fund. I shall give more to the organization from time to time. You know my feelings toward the organiza- tion, as we have had many talks to gather and our friendly chats have brought me that much closer to the I N I A The program of the association I believe is the most constructive to the interests and progress of the Negro both here in America and in Africa That being my belief it is necessary for me to give financial support In the past the Legion of Friars anything was never supplemented by their own financial support. That is the big difference between the L. N. A and other racial movements. Marcus Garvey with his determined personality and forceful arguments combined with his remarkable organizing ability has developed racial initiative and racial consciousness into a very large number of Negroes the world over. So as the years go by like the Jewish people their beliefs their wants and their burgings will materialize because with their money (and not by their prayers alone) they force the issue and they demand they get and they construct Count me as one of the supporters of the U N I A My fervent wish is that Marcus Garvey and the organization leaders shall have continued courage and strength to carry on the good work. Success for the convention and every good wish for you Very truly yours E ELLIOTT RAWLINS THE U. N. I. A. IN CENTRAL MIRANDA This branch of the L A and A C L, was started in Miranda on May 5 of this year with seven members. Since then it has been growing gradually and now we are forty-seven in number some of our new members being our greatest opponents in the past. The spirit of the division is all that can be desired. We were favored from June 25 30 with a visit from Professor and Mamie Alexander and Mr White of New York. On the 27th each one spoke at our meeting and their words of cheer and encouragement will ever remain with us. Mamie Alexander is an enthusiast where the L A A is concerned. She was de- tern not to leave the platform until she had converted some of our young gentlemen and so are did for seven ame forward and enlisted after shaking hands with her her strong, clear ringing voice calling in Negroes to get together for their good being spoken of until now. Address was presented to the visitors showing how much their help is appreciated Our election of permanent officer game off in the 4th inst. The chief officers were.

The association is in progress. The one little organ and their gave its first entertainment on Sunday evening the 9th inst. It was quite ance. Mr. Thomas has to be congratulated for the kid and gen manner in which he performed his duty as chairman. Mrs. Wilson must be graduated for her fine performance as our organist and it would be unfair not to mention Miss Thomas who assisted at the organ. Mrs. Grante rendering of a song. Bring Them In was highly appreciated and very appropriate. The Misses Ramsay Mrs. and Miss Koster are to be commended for the help they gave. Mrs. Wilson gave an entitled Sound of Voices which was well rendered and gave satt faction. Marten Stanley Grant efforts in retiring Downward and Upward brought cheers. The wish of all is that another such entertainment should come off early. I remain yours for success. THOMAS H GRANT Secretary SECOND CONVENTION OF THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD INDORSES THE U. N. I.
