GREAT CONVENTION ACCOMPLISHING MUCH IN INTEREST OF RACE GREAT CONVENI MU FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Another week of our great convention has rolled by, finding the delegates and deputies strenuously endeavoring to put over the biggest social, economic and political program of the age. As one looks around the convention there comes a feeling of earnestness that cannot be mistaken, because in the eye of each and every individual is seen an enthusiasm that seems to lighten up the entire scene around. This enthusiasm is reflected with a brilliancy that seems to dazzle the whole world and makes the Universal Negro Improvement Association of world magnitude. The enemies of our cause have been struggling hard and long to make an inroad into our solidarity, but, like a mighty army, the Universal Negro Improvement Association marches on, crushing everything in its pathway. We are stronger today than we ever were, and from the determination written on the face of each and every delegate and deputy, it is reasonable to assume that when the convention adjourns on the 31st inst. each and everyone will go forth as a mighty warrior to do battle for the grand and noble cause of African redemption. The Court Reception of His Highness the Potentate on the 10th inst. was an event never to be forgotten in the history of the Negro race. On that occasion over three thousand guests assembled at Liberty Hall at the command of His Highness to again celebrate the ancient glories of Ethiopia. His Highness bestowed upon several dignitaries the honor of Dukedom and Knighthood, singling them out as individuals who have done exemplary service to the Negro race. Among the many persons honored on that occasion was Sir John E. Bruce, Knight Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who was elevated to the Dukedom, being created the Duke of Uganda. Sir John is one of the best known celebrities of the Negro race, in that for more than half a century he has continuously fought the battles of our people in the literary and journalistic worlds. Sir Leroy Bundy was also honored as Knight Commander of the Distinguished Service Order of Ethiopia. Everybody in America knows of the gallantry of Sir Leroy Bundy, and it is felt that the honor was well deserved. Sir Isaiah Morter of Belize, British Honduras, ENTION ACCOMP CH IN INTERE ENEMIES AGITATED OVER SUCCESS OF GREAT CONCLAVE DO NOTHINGS AND IRRESPONSIBLES RAVE AT U. N. I. A. HIS HIGHNESS THE POTENTATE HOLDS COURT RECEPTION WAS A BRILLIANT SOCIAL FUNCTION was also elevated to the Knighthood as Knight Commander of the Distinguished Service Order of Ethiopia. Sir Isaiah Morter is one of the most loyal, and devoted members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a very successful business man, whose life ought to be a pattern to all Negroes. At last we have reached the point where we no longer look to the Anglo-Saxon race or any other race for recognition for services rendered. The race must understand that if we are to save ourselves we must honor and respect ourselves; hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is setting a glorious example in race pride and social progress. In another day or two the Universal Negro Improvement Association will start its first daily newspaper, "The Negro Times," in New York. This will only be the first of a string of daily newspapers in the United States of America, the West Indies and Central America to combat the sinister and wicked propaganda of the Negro press that has been seeking for a long time to misrepresent the aims and objects of the association. It falls to the province of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to educate the race in the way we ought to go, and for that reason we are now making efforts to place in the hands of the people the kind of literature that is needed. When it is considered that the Negro press has been most unfair to us as an organization in vilifying and misrepresenting us, there is nothing else left for us to do than to meet propaganda with propaganda. If others will wickedly and maliciously organize themselves to defeat the cause of Negro liberty, then, as leaders, it becomes our duty to do everything in our power to save the race from misrepresentation. The more the Negro press opposes us, the more will we find it necessary to organize newspapers in different sections of this country and the world to combat their wicked designs. We . PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN TNE U. & A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES PLISHING ST OF RACE are calling upon the people everywhere to rally to the support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because it is only through the success of this grand and noble movement that we can achieve the racial hope we have encouraged among ourselves. Every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as well as every member of the race, should make it an obligated duty to assist in circulating not only The Negro World but "The Daily Negro Times" and our new monthly magazine, "The Blackman." Every community should be overrun with these three powerful journals, so as to have everybody know about the real aims and objects of our organization. We are expecting in a short while to have a circulation of two million copies of The Negro World, a million copies of "The Daily Negro Times" and three million copies of "The Blackman." With such a circulation we feel sure that the public will have a better understanding of the aims and objects of our association. Let us all work during this month to build up our movement and make it so strong as to defy the combined forces of our enemies who have been seeking for a long while to make inroads into our ranks. The best way to defeat our enemies is while they are talking and agitating we should be accomplishing things. This has been the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all along. The more they talk, the more we accomplish, and now that the venomous Negro press has been criticising and endeavoring to slaughter us, we will the more strengthen our journalistic output until we have put all our enemies to flight. Again I have to appeal to each and every member, as well as friend, to send into the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., all the financial help possible to enable us to put over the big program entrusted to our care. Send us your spare dollar, your $2, $4, $5, $10, $20, which will go a long way in helping us to put over the big program. Thanking you in anticipation of your kind help and with very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION NEW YORK, August 15, 1922. HON. MARCUS GARVEY FLAYS HIS CRITICS—TAKING THEM TO TASK, ONE BY ONE, DEALS THEM SEVERE BODY BLUWs— TREMENDOUS SUNDAY NIGHT AUDIENCE AT LIBERTY HALL HEARS GREAT LEADER EXCORIATE HIS OPPONI ENEMIES PLOT TO DO AWAY WITH HON. MARCUS GARVEY Pe tatnie ine tieae At a secret conclave held at a well known place im Harlem one evening last week a plot was hatched to assassinate the Hon Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Af-ica and President- General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A reliable informant, in an interview with the Negro World, revealed details of the conaniracy. LIBERTY HALL, New York, August 12, 1928. —Liberty Hall tonight was the scena of a remarkable demonstration Bot only of loyalty and devotion to the Hot Marcus Garvey, the President. General of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association, but also f the Unmistakable approbation of the tre- mendous audience (hat lied the build Ing of every word of the long eddreas Gelivered by him in answer to his critics, At Ite conclusion the people rose up spontaneously and manifested their approval of what be bad said, many going upon (he platform and asking to ahake bim by the band The address of the President-General was not & passionate expression of anger, but rather a sober, well thought. out and logical discuaaion of the ground taken by the self-appointed critica of the Association It was an occasion for an impassioned outburat of right- tous indignation on the part of the great leader, because of the cowardiy attacks made upon him personally as ite head, ‘That be bas completely aUlenced “the enemy.” all who heard the speech agree. After dealing with the aubject broadly, as to tbe main phases of the movement, Mr. larvey singled out members of the now famous “quintette.” took them one by one, and, figuratively speaking, dealt them severe body-biows, Public opin- Jon witl count them down and cut, and such they deserve, ince, as Mr Gar- vey remarked. they are “traitors to the cause of lberty~ ‘The “quintette” here referred to consist of Taman Wiss fam Pickens, W EB. Du Bola, James Weldon Johnson, Chandler Owens and Philip a. Randolph. ‘These m 7, the apeaker anid, by their eriticiem of « movement like the UN LA, are merely enxaged in a propa: ganda to Gissoolate the Weatern Negro from Africa. a propaganda that 1s of ancient origin, being nothing new In & word, it is only what may properly be termed the white man's propaganda It amounts practically to = desertion of the race. and any Negro, Mr Oar- wey Geclared, who deserts bis race imply because that race has not “made good.” to take his place slong- aide other races of the world, can be Gubbed nothing else but a coward. If, eaid Mr. Garvey, the argument of Pickens ot al. were true as to the question of the redemption of Atrica— that this is impossible of achievement because Africa Is now in the posses- sion of th great European powers— England, France and Italy—then there never would have been a United Btares at America, there never wou! have dean g French Revolution and a French republio, there never would have been any emancipetion of the alavps in America. ‘To erf:leize, he polnted out, Is a very sary thing, © thing that anyone can 40. Gonerally It 1s the fool who crit- Jolxes, and at the present time there are a large oumber of fools in New York attempting to criticize the Universal Negro Improvement Aescolation. As to ertticiem, It is wot what you say that counts: it le what you de. People who accomplish nothing. who can show nothing in real achievement, either (or themselves or for the race to which they belong, should be shunned: no one should pay sny attention to them. That is his advice to colored people as to the oriticiam of Jean Pickens and bis essoclates, ‘Africa cannot be redeemed by talk; it cannot be redeemed by editorials. It can only be redeemed by the aac- rifice of humsn blood. Thie the Uni- verual Negro Improvement Association, sala Mr. Garvey, ts aware of, “and we are prepared even to give the leat "& mesting was held.” he sald, “at the —— om the night of —— last ‘weak, and a number of politicians, ex- service men and anti-Garveyites were present. The meeting was held under the auspices of the —— clud, a wall Known political crganisation Mr. Garvey and tha U.N.

In closing the speaker pointed to the headquas ters of the association at $6 West 138th street, where 10 to 80 persons, men tha women are given steaky em: ployment, to the grocery stores that had been opened by it In this city, to the laundry It omnia (0 the property it owns In New York, valued at thou- sands of dollars, and other evidences nf teal accomplishment These achiove- ments, he said, have been duplicated ip other large cittes, Any man crit cising an organisation such as this, that haa actually done things, that nas @ Univeraa) memberahip of millions of persons, that has done more than ony other organization among colored peo- ple to stimulate race pride and swaken Face consciousness, and that his for the objective of Its program the ulll- mete redemption of Afrira and the e+. lablihment there of an African Re- public. can only be regarded ae a man actuated by questionable, unworth motives or as nothing more nor less than a fool Patriotic addresses on the race were also delivered by Hon Edw Morales of Cuba, Bir Robert Poston of New York, Hon John Fowler of Oakiand.| Cal, and Willlam A Wallace of De- treit, Mich, In which they recounted the great good done and wonderful work accomplished by the Untversal Negro Improvement Association and the rapid and remarkable growth of the movement in all parte of thy world. ‘A Wbera! offering was taken up, un- der the direction of the Hon J WH Eason.

IN NEW YORK NEW YORK Aug 12, 1932.—A review of the second week's proceedings of the Third International Convention of Negroes of the World, and the work it has accomplished disclosures that subjects have been discussed by the convention that are of vast importance to the entire race. Public Interest Aroused A noteworthy feature of the doings of the convention within the past week has been the constantly increasing interest taken in its sessions by the public, and the closeness with which the proceedings have been followed by visitors. Even the critics and enemies of the U N I A who attend soon become fascinated influenced by what they hear and see and are moved to feelings of race pride and awakened to a burning desire to do something concrete, however small toward the advancement and uplift of the race in consonance with the views and principles of the Universal Negro improvement Association Criticism Futile Still more gratifying is the fact that the adverse criticism levied against the movement and its invincible and brave leader has served only to bring the association into greater popularity and favor with the masses, and to cause hundreds of thousands to flock to its standard. The more bitter it is opposed the more the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the acknowledged champion of the Negro race is maligned, the more malignant and cowardly the unprovoked attacks made upon him, the stronger the cause becomes and rises in the estimation of the people, and the more its founder and standard-bearer is beloved, respected and followed. Subjoota Discussed The work has been given over wholly to the profound and thoughtful study and consideration of these subjects. Seldom has any body of men not strictly governmental in character, certainly never before by an assembly of black men and women, sat together and in their sessions deliberated upon such momentous questions and handled them with so much ability, zeal and earnestness as have the delegates and deputies to this epoch-making convention. By its labor, by its deliberations, by the real work the convention is doing—and it is indeed making history—it is bringing together the component elements of the race, and welding them into one harmonious whole that shall forever be "one and inseparable," and shall enable it triumphantly to march up the heights of progress to a commanding place among the nations and races of the world that is its rightful and natural destiny The subjects discussed follow 1 Better Relationship Within the Negro Race 2 Fostering International Race Confraternity 3. Establishing a Better Government for the Negro Peoples of Africa 4. Fostering a Better Commercial Relationship Between the Negro Peoples of the World. 5. Arranging of Africa into Duchies and Schools for the Political and Educational Development of the Negro. 6. The Liberian Loan. 7. The Commercial and Industrial Development of Liberia 8. Lynching and How to Correct It Each subject was introduced in an appropriate address, either by the Chair or by a delegate chosen to present it, because of his thorough acquaintance with it, this for the guidance of the convention. The introductory address was then followed by a general discussion of the subject by the delegates from the floor The debates were scholarly and evinced a practical wisdom and grasp of the relative importance to the race of the subjects dealt with. No definite action has been taken on ary of the questions, since all have been referred to special committees. These committees will hold further hearings on the subjects referred to them, and within the coming week will submit a report as to their conclusions and recommendations, when the convention The Epsilon Chapter of the Omega Psi Phl Fraternity, which comprises all the members who are students in the collages and universities of greater New York, held a midsummer reception at 218 West 187th street in honor of visiting members. The affair proved to be a melting pot in which were mingled students from various sections of the country Men from Dartmouth, Yale, Fordham, Columbia, Harvard, Lincoln, Bryacuse, New York University, Michigan, Pennsylvania Chicago and Colgate were brought together with those from West Virginia, Union, Mehary, Howard, Atlanta and the University of London, the Middle Atlantic and New England chapters contributing the largest numbers. Many of the young ladies present were also visitors in the city. During the intermission, while refreshments were served, the guests were favored with vocal soles by Miss Bessie Allison. Miss Lillian Burke and Mrs. P M Murray Each one of these artists displayed such rare talent that only after enceded again and again were they relieved from the audience. The evening was characterized by real university spirit and joyality. Phi Beta Kappa keys and other medals of honor were indicative of the triumphs many had scored in scholarly competition. The members present from the New York Chapter were: Nathaniel A. Burrell, Jr., E. L. Fisher, W. A. Alston, R. M. Wyhea, G. E. Hail, A. C. Davia, C. W. Jenkins, H. D. Gregg, J. P. Murchison, H. B. Duncan, M. D. Dour will pass appropriate legislation concerning each. The subject that impressed the delegates as of paramount importance is: Fostering a Better Commercial Relationship Between the Negro Peoples of the World. The debate on this subject was led by the President-General, whose address was a masterpiece, worthy of careful reading by every member of the race, because of its practical wisdom and advice and its statesmanlike conclusions. The consensus of opinion among the delegates was that inasmuch as money is power, and since money today rules the world, the Negro, by creating better commercial relationship between the members of the race as in the building of industries mills and factories of his own, opening banks of their own establishing steamship lines of their own, and engaging on a large scale in the interchange of raw materials and manufactured products, not only among themselves, but as well among other races and nations of the world he can acquire wealth for himself. The acquisition of wealth will give the Negro economic independence and will give him power. Thus he will be enabled to acquire his rightful political position in the world, and ultimately establish a government of his own on the Continent of Africa, with a mighty navy and a powerful standing army, comparable to any other nation. In no other way, it is believed by the delegates to the convention, can the Negro command universal respect from all other nations and universal protection in the enjoyment of his rights. In no other way will such abominations and barbarous practices as the lynching evil and other forms of oppression, discriminations and all manner of indignities that the Negro is now compelled to endure without any means of redress be abandoned or made to cease and become a thing of the past. Hence the general opinion as to the transaccented importance of this subject, on which all the others hinge and to which they bear a close relation. SEVENTH DAY Morning Session The seventh day of the Third Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World opened this morning with a good-sized attendance of delegates, deputies and friends. The President-General occupied the chair After the formal preliminary opening, in which the Rev J L Digges offered prayer, the minutes of the last session (held Friday evening) were read by the Secretary-General and adopted, with corrections The printed agenda for the day not being quite ready, the Chair called upon the Rev Dr Diggs, acting Chapain-General, to address the Convention briefly Dr Diggs compiled, and spoke for about ten minutes. He is a graceful and fluent speaker, and knows how to address himself appropriately on most any topic. He urged upon the delegates and deputies the utmost respect to the Chair, and that their decorum in debate at all times be such as to be above criticism. The eyes of the public and the press and the enemies of the movement are upon the Convention, and it is the duty of every delegate and deputy to let his behavior during the sittings of the Convention be courteous and respectful and above reproach. The doctor mentioned an incident wherein a certain gentleman, formerly an opponent of the U N I A, had only the other day expressed himself as having been won over to the cause. This conversion, the doctor said, was the result of the gentleman having ascertained for himself the true facts concerning the aims and objects of the Association. He admonished his hearers to be patient, tolerant and even kind to those who disagreed with them in their views concerning the organization, and that in this way, and by endeavoring at all times to make entirely clear the purposes of the U N I A. they can ultimately win them over and accomplish more than by taking an attitude of hostility to them. The address of Dr. Diggs very nicely filled up the intervening time while waiting for the printed agenda. These lsa, R. E. Carv, A. M Willis, Drs. P. M. Murray, George E. Bell and James F. W. Granady. Among the visiting members ware: J. L Hoffman, W. B. Green, F. J. Andrews, J. A. Davia, M. D. Ramsey, A. Kmayner, J. F. Hopkins, E. C. Tatea, J. L Heartwell, T H. Best, R. A. Gorham (who acted as chief host), H B. Hucles, A L. Harris, R J. Cooper, C V. Granger, W C. Henderson, C. W. White, M. S. Garner, W H. A. Booker, D M Duckett, H H. Phillip, C B. Williams and H. H. Huggins. The young ladies who attended were: Florence Crossland, Franklin Byd, Lillian Burke, Gertrude Herbert, Homeeza Walker, Vivian Smith, Mas Brown, Blanche Levy, Andrades Lindsay, Charlotte Matthewa, Alene Simkins, Julia Delaney, Lillian Smith, Marguerite White, Ethel Ford, Marion Hayes, Estelle Lee, Saddle Coffe, Leonora Cornellson, Eula Whitley, Delay White, Vioia Smith, May Chiu, Helena Upshur, Elizabeth Ruffin, Anita Williams, Geniva Mathis, Mrs. A. M Willia, Mrs. P. M. Murray, Miss P Pyles, Miss A. Weaver and Clarissa Gwathmey. Guests who were not members of the fraternity included Wm. Anderson, Jr. J. H. Wilson, Mrs. Kelly, Dr. M. Allen, Dr. C. A. Edwards and John L. Taylor. This reception will be repeated each summer under the aupices of the New York Chapter. Its purpose is to create a more homelike atmosphere for those members who chance to be strangers in the metropolis. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 19. 1922 Public Interest Increases as Work of Convention Progresses and Large Audiences Attend Session Daily Questions of Vital Importance to the Future of the Negro Race Intelligently Discussed and Disposed Of, Among Them Being: Fostering of International Race Confraternity; Establishing Better Commercial Relationship Between Negro Peoples of the World; Plans for Better Government of Negro People of Africa; Industrial and Commercial Development of Liberia; The Liberian Loan; Lynching and How to Correct It; the Future of the Negro in America INTENSE FEELING DISPLAYED ON LYNCHING QUESTION — DELEGATES MAKE STRONG DENUNCIATION OF LYNCHING CRIME AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR A REMEDY—CONVENTION IN UNANIMOUS ACCORD WITH REHABILITATION OF BLACK STAR LINE—BELIEVES THAT A LINE OF STEAMSHIPS WILL LAY A STRONG COMMERCIAL FOUNDATION FOR THE RACE Dignity and Order Prevails at All Sittings—President General Hon. Marcus Garvey Presides Over Business Sessions and Commands Respect and Admiration by His Capable Handling of Affairs—Confidence in His Leadership Greatly Enhanced having arrived from the printers the Chair at once called for the first item as the order of the day according to the agenda, which was the imme- jment proceedings against the Hon. Adrian Johnson. Speaker-in Conven- tion. Plummer and the Minister of Legions At this point Mr Plummer of New York, Director of Publicity arose to a point of personal privilege, complaining that his integrity as a member of the Association and as a delegate to the Convention had been impugged by the Minister of Legions, the Hon C E Gaines, when temporarily acting as Presiding Officer at the session of the Convention held on Friday evening, August +. The remark to which objection was taken was that the Chair had charged that he, as the mover of a certain motion he had put before the house, was one of the subterfugees resorted to by certain individual members of the Convention. He demanded that the Convention investigate the charge of the question raised as to his integrity, saying that, if found guilty, he would be willing to resign from the Association and to withdraw from the Convention. On the other hand, if the charge could not be sustained by the facts, he asked an apology of the gentleman. The Minister of Legions explained that the remark was merely made during a parliamentary discussion with Mr Plummer, and that the latter perhaps was merely pledged because he, as the Chairman had beaten him on the point Mr Gaines meant no offense or insinuation, certainly no insinuation as to the character or integrity and loyalty of Mr Plummer, and that if he had knowingly made an attack on the gentleman he would be the first gentleman in the Convention who would come forward and ask that gentleman pardon. This satisfied Mr Plummer and the matter passed off smoothly. Pottiford Presiding Judge Prior to the beginning of the impeachment proceedings, Mr Garvey being the complainant withdrew from the chair and asked the Hon Alonso D Petittford to act as the Presiding Judge. Mr Petittford acted in a similar capacity a few days ago in the impeachment proceedings against Dr J D. Gibson. Mr Vernal J Williams acted as the attorney for the prosecution, while Mr Joseph H Stewart of Washington, D C, a practicing lawyer in that city for more than twenty five years, represented the defendant the Hon Adrian Johnson, Speaker in Convention. The President-General was the first witness called by the prosecution, but before being sworn and giving his testimony he made a lengthy statement, in addition to the charges preferred against Mr Johnson, of the reasons for his asking the convention to impeach the Speaker-in-Convention. Mr. Johnson, he alleged, was guilty of two things—counts, they were legally termed, namely: Being an unfinancial member of the organization, and having entered into a conspiracy to disrupt the convention and damage the interests of the association. Pred A. Toote a Witness Counsel for the defense asked for a written copy of the charges. This after a little exchange of remarks between counsel, was compiled with The President-General then began his testimony on the first count or charges. The cross-examination of the witness brought out that Mr Johnson endowed a few days before the opening of the convention to pay up his back indebtedness of dues, that this the President-General refused and would not permit, claiming that Mr Johnson had more than a year in which to make himself financial, and his desire to pay his dues at that time was merely as a convenience to enable him to take his seat in the convention as its speaker. The next witness was the Hon. Fred. A. Toote, Secretary-General. Mr. Toote didn't make a very good witness for the prosecution when it came the turn for the prosecution to place him under cross-examination. He couldn't verify or tell in whose handwriting was the record kept in the books of the Secretary-General of the account of Adrian Johnson; yet he asserted that he was responsible for all the records of the association, and could vouch for their correctness. This point, seemingly in favor of the defense, Attorney Stewart intimated he would take up in his summation to the jury. The jury, as in the case against Dr. Gibson, is composed of the entire body of delegates and deputies to the convention. Then the Secre- tary General denied the correctness of the membership dues book held by the defendant which showed that his dues up to a certain late, several months beyond the record shown in the Secretary General's office. The witness maintained that anybody could make entries in the defendants a due book that the records kept in the Secretary-General's book are absolutely correct. A Miss Bailey, it seems made the entries in Mr Johnson's due book showing a last payment of $4.20 Miss Bailey, unfortunately, could not be located in the city and the defense was unable to put her on the stand to verify the dues claimed to have been paid by the defendant. Mr. Garvey Testifies This ended the trial so far as the first count in the charges were concerned. The second count was next taken up. Mr Garvey again being the first witness. He went on to allege having heard certain rumors as to attempts at a conspiracy on the part of the defendant and others to disrupt the convention and to do injury to the association itself. An argument immediately arose between counsel as to the admissibility of hearsay testimony. The chair ruled that the witness could say he heard certain rumors, but could not testify in detail as to these rumors. He could testify of course, as to anything he actually heard in the presence of the defendant, all other hearsay testimony, the chair declared, would be excluded. The case proceeded rather slowly, owing to the unfamiliarity with it on the part of the counsel for the defense. Mr Stewart having had no previous time in which to prepare for the trial, he suggested that the trial should be postponed until the afternoon or the morning following to enable him to study it a little, but this the chair was not willing to allow. It being one o'clock, the session adjourned to convene again at two o'clock the chair upon request of counsel for the prosecution admonishing every one present not to discuss the case whatever in the interim, and to reserve their opinions until the testimony on both sides was all in. AFTERNOON 8E8S8ION AUGUST 7 1922 The afternoon session, which commenced at 2:20 p.m. was devoted to continuation of the trial for impeachment of Hon Adrian Johnson speaker in convention Hon Marcus Garvey whose evidence was begun at the morning session but not completed resumed the stand and continued his testimony, which had further reference to the actions of Mr Johnson which constituted the alleged conspiracy. In answer to a question by Counsellor Williams Mr Garvey said he had no malice against Mr Johnson or no reason for bringing ungrounded charges against him "Bruce Grit" Tells of Threat The next witness was Mr John E. Bruce, who testified that after the adjournment of the first day's sitting of the convention he was attracted to one end of the hall and heard Mr Johnson IMPORTANT NOTICE IMPORTANT NOTICE Due to the delay in the deli paper press for the Daily New railroad strike, the first issue on August 10 as previously as which we exercised absolute prevent the publication of the firm from which we purchase us that it has been held in the shipment, but due to the strife being handled by the railr have been made whereby ered by motor trucks within it will be immediately installed the first issue of the "Daily New or before the week of August Due to the delay in the delivery and erection of the newspaper press for the Daily Negro Times, occasioned by the railroad strike, the first issue of the "Times" will not appear on August 10 as previously announced. Circumstances over which we exercised absolutely no control intervened to prevent the publication of the first issue on that date. The firm from which we purchased the newspaper press advises us that it has been held in the freight yards for days awaiting shipment, but due to the strike only perishable goods are being handled by the railroads; however, arrangements have been made whereby the press will be delivered by motor trucks within the next few days, when it will be immediately installed. Under these circumstances the first issue of the "Daily Negro Times" will appear during or before the week of August 20, 1923. NEGRO TIMES --- remark that when he came back at the evening session he would be prepared to kill somebody. Mr Thomas W Anderson, a delegate from Louisiana, testified in behalf of the association, said he had overheard Mr Johnson. In conversation say that he had been elected to the speaker's chair and that he intended to occupy it. He further testified to having knowledge of a private conference called in a room a the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel to which he was invited and which was attended by Mr Johnson, Mr Gaines Mr Eason, Mr Rudolph Smith Mr Parker and other gentlemen. The purpose of that meeting he was informed, was to put over some plans to curtail the power of the President General. Mr E C Gaines, Minister of Legions, also testified for the association. As the detective of the association he learned of the private meeting that was held at the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel and attended it. The subject at issue was the dethroning of the president of the Chicago Division. Mr Kirby, and also the executive secretary, and placing other men in their stead. Mr Rudolph Smith also gave evidence relative to the conference held at the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel which simply corroborated the former evidence Johnson on the Defense For the defense Mr Adrian Johnson was called as a witness in his own behalf and attempted to bring out in his evidence the fact that since he was elected speaker in convention he had never functioned, having been taken away from his office and sent out as a field worker. In defense of the charge of being unfinancial, he claimed that he had paid his dues up to the end of 1921 but admitted that while he was away from the city he had not paid up, and on return was ten months in arrears and was so at the time of his election. On Mr Johnson's own admission, coupled with documentary evidence from the office of the association of his unfinancial standing when he was elected to office, the jury (constituted of the delegates) found him guilty of insigibility to office on a vote of 101 to 13, but acquitted him on the charge of conspiracy. Mr Johnson was accordingly declared impaired. EVENING SESSION In view of the protracted afternoon session today at the Third Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World the convention did not convene this evening until $ 50 o'clock. The President-General sat in the chair. As on previous evenings since the opening of the convention, the large hall was completely packed with visitors in addition to the deputies and delegates, who were attracted thither by the spread of the news of the extraordinary events taking place in the convention, the prominence given the work of the convention by the self-appointed star critics, the Randolph-Owens-Pickens team of do-nothings, and the publicity given by the white press. delivery and erection of the newsagro Times, occasioned by the of the "Times" will not appear announced.

Under these circumstances agro Times" will appear during oct 20, 1823. --- It is said in this connection that the sessions of the convention thus far have been on a par with the sessions of the Congress of the United States, the delegates and deputies manifesting a familiarity with and knowledge of parliamentary usage comparable to that possessed by our Congressmen and Senators. A splendid program of music and recitations served as an appropriate and delightful preliminary to the business of the session, in which Meadames Houston and Hughes were the star artists. The richness and charm of their voices thrilled the vast multitude. The band, as usual, rendered attractive selectiona under the direction of Prof. William Islae. The minutes of the afternoon session were then read and adopted, with some corrections. The chair announced that the session would take up the next item on the agenda, "Fostering an International Race Confraternity," and outlined the meaning of the subject which, though closely allied to the previous subject discussed, "Better Relationship Within the Race," was yet distinct and separate from it. He assigned the Hon Rudolph H. Smith as the first speaker, to deliver the keynote address on the subject, and announced that brief addresses from other members on the floor would be heard, each speaker to have not more than five minutes. Mr Smith, to whom was given ten minutes to make his introductory speech, handled the subject very comprehensively tracing the history of the progress of races through the cultivation of fraternity between the members of the respective groups and showing how, through this lack of fraternity among th Negro peoples of the world, the Negro had lost in efficiency and in material development. Mr Smith pointed out that, through the efforts chiefly of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, there is now an awakening among Negroes the world over and a desire on their part to act together as in a common fraternity and to contribute to one another's well-being by racial and inter-racial relations and activities having for their object a common end. Morales Urgea International Marriages Mr. Smith's address was well received. He spoke in a graceful manner and made a most favorable impression. He was followed by others, among them being Mr. Dixon of Atlantic City, WOMEN AN ULTRA WOMEN'S SECOND INTEN UNDER THE AU UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPR A LIBERTY HALL, 120-126 August 21, 1922, at MME M.

J.; Morales of Cuba; Mr. Carroll, Chicago, Ill.; Mr. Weston of Pittsburgh; r. Phillips of New York; Mr. Pettiford of Detroit, Mich., and Mr. Kirby of Chicago. Mr. Pettiford, who, as chairman, heads the committee appointed to bring in a report on the best ways and means of bettering relationship within the race, suggested that inasmuch as the subject, "Postering of an International Race Confaternity," is closely allied with it, the latter subject be referred also to that committee. No action however, was taken upon this suggestion. Mr. Morales of Cuba, as a practical suggestion, which at the close of the discussion the chair highly praised said that one way to foster international race confrontation would be by international marriage of the members of the race; that is, of the race group of the different nations and parts of the world. This method produced happy results among the whites, he said, as the intermarriage of Germans with Americans, of Italians with Germans, of English with French, and so on. The proposition struck the audience as a novel yet practical one. In the course of his remarks Mr. Morales said that, as an example of the suggestion he was advancing, he himself was a Cuban by birth, his father being a Spaniard while his mother was a Panamanian. His address was greeted with vociferous applause.

A RAY OF LIGHT Politics of the idea of Africa for the Africans are dis- present just what it implies. In urging Negroes to give government on the continent of Africa, Marcus Garvey to the 12,000,000 Negroes in America to pack up, take, and emigrate to Africa. No. What Mr. Garvey says: In order for the Negro, not only the American the British, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Negro, to secure his full social, political and e- the must first have as a foundation a mighty bla- k of his own somewhere on the shores of Afri- ment like that of the Japanese, that will reach the rights of black men the world over. In order t. Garvey realizes it is necessary to instill into the myriads of natives on the continent the necessity to empire. That is the end to which the U. N. ag. Critics of the idea of Africa for the Africans are disposed to misrepresent just what it implies. In urging Negroes to found a government on the continent of Africa, Marcus Garvey is not asking the 12,000,000 Negroes in America to pack up, bag and baggage, and emigrate to Africa. No. What Mr. Garvey means is this: In order for the Negro, not only the American Negro, but the British, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese Negro, to secure his full social, political and economic rights, he must first have as a foundation a mighty black government of his own somewhere on the shores of Africa. A government like that of the Japanese, that will reach out and shield the rights of black men the world over. In order to do this Mr. Garvey realizes it is necessary to instill into the minds of the myriads of natives on the continent the necessity for such a Negro empire. That is the end to which the U. N. I. A. is working. LIGHT FOR THE NEW YORK AGE RIES of brain storms seem to be passing through one of the editors of the New York Age, for he howling dervish when he discussed the U. N. I. Articles on the front page of last week's issue. The common statements in those two articles that it would compass of a short editorial, but the entire editor to World to properly answer them. And we require the required space to spare. What seems most to drive one of the editors into him in the words of the editor: "The announcements given that W. H. Ferris is named to run for Congress, J. Assembly from the Twenty-first District and John Polician State Committee." In the headlines the candidate is referred to as "Sir" Ferris, and the question is on to state that the restrictions of the Federal Officials of the government from accepting titles and sign governments. Then the writer goes on to inquire movement is in any way responsible for 'Sir' Ferris be market"— can briefly dispose of these two statements and the first place, a knight is never referred to as "Sir" John Smith" or "Sir John." And we are surprised in New York, where high schools, free night schools, free lecture courses, college and universities know this fact. The second place, one unit of population mobilizing for candidates it selects is not segregating voters in Coalition Committee is not asking voters to be because they are black, brown or yellow, but be and have a grasp on the fundamental principles under the United States and are in touch with them. The third place, if the writer in the New York Age has and constitution of the U. N. I. A. he would have an Universal Negro Improvement Association is not an "association." Then, again, if the writer in had examined the U. N. I. A. closely he would have that the majority of the Executive Council and over others are American citizens. Hence the U. N. I. A. government, but a world-wide confraternity of African descent some of whom live at home. The fourth place, the Garvey movement is in no way a hallucidacy of W. H. Ferris for Congress. The latter is in New England; the Right Hon. Marcus Garvey is in the West and South, and many of the Executive lecture tours in various sections of the country, with over a score of organizations first met and suggested by the editor of The Negro World and the author of "The road the struggle to give American citizens of dusky to Congress. The editor of the New York Age has any more question to enlighten him. ASERIES of brain storms seem to be passing through the mind of one of the editors of the New York Age, for he raved like a howling dervish when he discussed the U. N. I. A. in two feature articles on the front page of last week's issue. There were so many erroneous statements in those two articles that it would require not the compass of a short editorial, but the entire editorial page of The Negro World to properly answer them. And we regret that we haven't the required space to spare. But what seems most to drive one of the editors into hysteria was this fact, in the words of the editor: "The announcements given to the public are that W. H. Ferris is named to run for Congress, J. D. Steele for the Assembly from the Twenty-first District and John E. Earle for Republican State Committee." In the headlines the candidate for Congress is referred to as "Sir" Ferris and the question is asked, Would the independent movement segregate Negro voters? Then the writer goes on to state that the restrictions of the Federal Constitution restrain officials of the government from accepting titles and honors from foreign governments. Then the writer goes on to inquire: "If the Garvey movement is in any way responsible for 'Sir' Ferris being named on this ticket"— We can briefly dispose of these two statements and these two questions. In the first place, a knight is never referred to as "Sir" Smith, but as "Sir John Smith" or "Sir John." And we are surprised that an editor living in New York, where high schools, free night schools, free public libraries, free lecture courses, college and universities abound, does not know this fact. In the second place, one unit of population mobilizing the voters in its unit for candidates it selects is not segregating voters, because the Harlem Coalition Committee is not asking voters to support its candidates because they are black, brown or yellow, but because they are men and have a grasp on the fundamental principles underlying the Constitution of the United States and are in touch with the questions of the day. In the third place, if the writer in the New York Age had read the preamble and constitution of the U. N. I. A he would have discovered that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a "government," but an "association." Then, again, if the writer in the New York Age had examined the U. N. I. A closely he would have discovered that the majority of the Executive Council and over one-third of the members are American citizens. Hence the U. N. I. A. is not a "foreign" government, but a world-wide confraternity of men and women of African descent some of whom live at home and others abroad. In the fourth place, the Garvey movement is in no way responsible for the candidacy of W. H. Ferris for Congress. The latter was on a lecture tour in New England; the Right Hon. Marcus Garvey was on a lecture tour in the West and South, and many of the Executive Council were on lecture tours in various sections of the country, when representatives of over a score of organizations first met and suggested that the literary editor of The Negro World and the author of "The African Abroad" lead the struggle to give American citizens of dusky hue representation in Congress. If the editor of the New York Age has any more questions to ask, we will be glad to enlighten him. THE N. A. A. C. P. A. QUESTION 5 editor of the Crisis and other representatives of A. A. C. P. have frequently asked about the nest of the U. N. I. A., but we would like to unt the balance sheet of the N. A. A. C. P. In the winter of 1918 the N. A. A. C.

The have other questions to ask in the near future. THE editor of the Crisis and other representatives of the N. A. A. C. P. have frequently asked about the balance sheet of the U. N. I. A., but we would like to make an inquiry about the balance sheet of the N. A. A. C. P. In the fall of 1918 and winter of 1918 the N. A. A. C.

One hundred and fifty dollars was spent of this $50,000, and the balance sheet never been published to show what was done with the remain- $80,500. Where did this money go? Reflect. This is the We have other questions to ask in the near future. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 18. 1922 THE U. N. I. A. AND ITS MISSION THE Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has discussed pro and con, has been in existence four years and half. It has enrolled hundreds of thousands of members collected hundreds of thousands of dollars. Doubling the big critics and hypercritical litterateurs have frequently said it has to show. The public is entitled to an answer. Any one who will hire an auto and drive around for a few Harlem can readily see Three buildings and a hall, where a printing plant in operation and another being installed of three grocery stores, two restaurants, a hotel, ainery and clothing manufacturing plant, the employing of six main offices and over two hundred in the business enterprise grew out of the association—this is what the U. N. I. in Harlem alone. And we ask the wiseacres and wise guys who sit in judgment as Garvey and the U. N. I. A., "How many business enterprises you started? How many colored men and women do you identify to earn their bread as officials, clerks and skilled artists, they compare notes and answer this question they will need and not words count in this world. Then, again, the U. N. I. A has stirred the racial consciousness and women of African descent as it has never been stirred by the U. N. I. A. was organized, the N. A. A C P for it to raise funds in large quantities from black folk and to rely largely upon donations from white philanthropists. The U. N I. A roused the racial consciousness of black men and women. A A C. P. found it easy sledding to raise large sums of black folk and Alderman Harris found it an easy task to Aldermanic Chamber through black votes. After the U. N. I. A had roused the racial consciousness of women, Dr R R Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, found task to organize the Citizens and Southern Bank and to get women to deposit funds. From the seeds of racial pride itself-respect which the U. N I. A sowed banks, really comes to stores and other Negro businesses sprang up all over the course, the U. N. I. A could not in four and one-half years. It could not in four and a half years build up enterprise it would take white men half a century to be good estate. THE Universal Negro Improvement Association, which is now discussed pro and con, has been in existence four years and a half. It has enrolled hundreds of thousands of members and has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars. Doubting Thomases, carping critics and hypercritical litterateurs have frequently asked "What has it to show?" The public is entitled to an answer. Any one who will hire an auto and drive around for a few hours in Harlem can readily see Three buildings and a hall, which are owned, a printing plant in operation and another being installed, the operating of three grocery stores, two restaurants, a hotel, a steam laundry and clothing manufacturing plant, the employing of sixty-five in the main offices and over two hundred in the business enterprises which grew out of the association—this is what the U. N. I A can show in Harlem alone. And we ask the wiseacres and wise guys who sit in judgment upon Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A., "How many business enterprises have you started? How many colored men and women do you give an opportunity to earn their bread as officials, clerks and skilled artisans?" When they compare notes and answer this question they will realize that deeds and not words count in this world. Then, again, the U. N. I. A has stirred the racial consciousness of men and women of African descent as it has never been stirred before. Before the U. N. I. A was organized, the N. A. A C P found it difficult to raise funds in large quantities from black folk and was forced to rely largely upon donations from white philanthropists. After the U N I A roused the racial consciousness of black men and women the N. A A C P. found it easy sledding to raise large sums of money from black folk and Alderman Harris found it an easy task to land in the Aldermanic Chamber through black votes. After the U N I. A had roused the racial consciousness of black men and women, Dr R R Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia, found it an easy task to organize the Citizens and Southern Bank and to get black men and women to deposit funds. From the seeds of racial pride and racial self-respect which the U. N I A sowed banks, realty companies, grocery stores and other Negro businesses sprang up all over the country. Of course, the U N I. A could not in four and one-half years do everything. It could not in four and a half years build up enterprises which it would take white men half a century to a century to bring to manhood estate. FOREIGN AFFAIRS By DUSE MOHAMED ALI the swing of the pendulum has shifted military domination away to France. At the present day France not only dorsean politics and diplomacy, but she also dominates the mon. Never at any time since the Napoleonic wars has in so dominant a military position as she is at present the hat has been deposed in France she also has The swing of the pendulum has shifted military domination from Germany to France. At the present day France not only dominates European politics and diplomacy, but she also dominates the military situation. Never at any time since the Napoleonic wars has France been in so dominant a military position as she is at present. Apart from the troops she has at her disposal in France, she also has a large African army at her back, which she is daily increasing, and the Europeans are for the most part unaware of this enormous military force that is being accumulated in Africa for the purpose of descending upon Europe as and when the occasion arises or when France shall consider that the psychological moment has come for her to seize Germany. Mr. Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister, has used up nearly all of his box of tricks, and it is very questionable whether Poincaré, who has already taken the British Prime Minister's measure, will be brought to the pro-German view held by the British Cabinet. Lloyd George has by this time realized that France is the tail that wags the British bulldog. Lloyd George has been compelled to shift his position in favor of France whenever the two nations have met to discuss the economic situation in Europe. The British taxpayer does not want war, but the French, by reason of the fact that Foch was not allowed to march on Berlin for the purpose of signing the peace there, have never felt satisfied with the treaty of Versailles, because the French know that the Germans have never considered themselves beaten. Moreover, France finds herself in the peculiar position of having to rebuild a large number of her devastated cities, whereas the German cities are intact, and during the last years of the war Germany proceeded to make every arrangement for the development and continuation of her commercial enterprises upon the cessation of hostilities. This placed France at a disadvantage because all of her men were engaged in war work and in many instances her industries were runed by the ruthlessness of Germany. Consequently, at the end of the war, Germany was ready to go ahead and flood the markets of the world with her manufactures, whereas France had to reconstruct her industries before she could be in a position to compete with the Germans. This accounts for the aggressive attitude of France, who feels that while none of the German cities were ruined by the war some of France's principal industrial cities were devastated, and therefore France, being in no position to enter into world trade competition with Germany, found it necessary to balance things by insisting upon the payment of the war indemnities incurred by Germany. At first glance this might seem unjust on the part of France, but it should be remembered that in 1870 Bismarck not only marched on Paris, where he signed the German peace with France, but he demanded an indemnity of $1,000,000,000 and the surrender of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany. The French have not forgotten this, nor have they forgotten that the Franco-German war was thrust upon them, and that in 1875, when the final installment of the indemnity was paid, Germany, but for the intervention of Alexander II of Russia and Queen Victoria in England, would have again made war upon France in order to, as it were, bleed her to death, so that from 1870 to 1922 the French have been thirsting for a signal revenge upon an aggressive Germany. I am not sure that the present political and military attitude of France is quite correct because, if the industries of Germany are crippled, it will be impossible for Germany to pay the indemnity, and in view of the fact that despite the Washington conference France is still arming, unless these indemnities are paid by Germany it means that France is likely to be faced with a revolution which will be more drastic and calamitous than that which overtook Russia. In England, although considerable aeroplane construction is going on and grants are being made to that end, as I have already stated, the English people are in no mood for further wars, and they are, for the most part, disposed to be on the defensive should a war be thrust upon them. It is quite unlikely that Great Britain can join France in any war that France might undertake to compel Germany to pay. France will therefore find herself isolated in Europe, and she is preparing herself militarily to this end. Lloyd George, who is anxious to retain his seat at No 10 Downing street as Prime Minister of England, although he knows his popularity is waning, also knows that there is not a man of outstanding merit in Great Britain who is capable of wielding the deadlines of the nation. Lord Curzon does not carry the confidence of the British people. Winston Churchill is considered too unstable. Herbert Asquith is too old and reactionary, and the only possible Prime Minister who would be likely to carry the confidence of the British people would be Lord Derby, who because of his diplomatic relations with France, where he was Ambassador until quite recently, night also carry the confidence of France. In England, notwithstanding Lord Derby's ancient lineage and his devotion to sport, which is an attractive asset in Great Britain because of the march of democratic ideas in the United Kingdom, the proletariat is likely to look askance at a lord who hoped to be head of the British commonwealth. This shows the paucity of diplomatic brain power in Great Britain among the so-called first flight statesmen. There is, however, Mr J H Clynes, who in the event of labor sweeping the country would automatically become Prime Minister of England. This labor leader proved himself a capable administrator of the Food Department during the war, and he has the confidence of the Labor party. Hence, by reason of the march of Socialistic and Bolshevik ideas in England, it is not at all unlikely that the next government in England might be a Labor government, in which event the whole imperial policy of Great Britain would be altered to suit the ideas of the proletariat, and these ideas would undoubtedly tend toward the reduction of armaments and a general fraternizing with such advanced bodies as the Bolsheviks of Russia, the Socialists of Germany and the Industrial Workers of the World I give this brief survey of the position in Europe in so far as it affects the two great powers who rule Africa and their respective positions, military and diplomatic, as it stands today. I have said that the Armageddon has not been fought, and if my readers will view my remarks with intelligence and insight they will be able to visualize the trend of events in the direction of that coming Armageddon of which I have been frequently writing. When the next war comes, although I said last week men will not count to the same extent as scientific lethal weapons, there is bound to be a considerable native African army fighting on behalf of France. This army, wherever it fights, will win. A Negro army has never been conquered. On occasions it has had to retreat or it has been utterly annihilated, but it has never been conquered. The Negro army of Hamilcar Barca, which devastated Italy, although called the Carthaginian army, was a Negro army. This army subdued and devastated the other portion of Italy and would have annihilated Rome but for the greed of the Carthaginian State in withholding payment from its Negro troops. Hannibal, the son of Hamilcar, also brought his Negro troops into Italy, crossed the Alps and sat down outside the gates of Rome, defeating the Roman armies on the way. He was only beaten because the mulatto Carthaginians did not supply him with the necessary money to pay his troops. Scipio Africanus, profiting by the knowledge obtained by the conquering propensities of the Carthaginian Negro troops in Italy, conquered Carthage with Negro troops. Negro troops conquered Spain under Mussa, the Negro Mohammed general. Negro troops defeated, under Toussaint I'Ouverture, the French in Haiti and drove them out. Negro troops fought in the American civil war and won Negro Zulu troops wiped out a British regiment in the Zulu war. The Negroids of the Sudan were the first to break a British square. The union of the United States was in the balance until the introduction of the Negro troops, who decided the issue. What the Negro troops have done in the past they will do again. They are invincible. France needs them to tighten her battle because of her decreasing birth rate and the effeminacy of her sons. When these Negro troops enter Europe to conquer on behalf of a white France they will be in possession, and possession being nine points in law, we question whether they will leave Europe, and it is extremely likely that one portion of the solution of the Negro problem will be that of a dominating Negro military force which by possessing itself of a Europe conquered in the name of France might very conceivably proceed to rule that which it has taken. I therefore repeat, THE DAY IS AT HAND BE PREPARED. BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN The 'learned and scholarly Professor Pickens' in confessing that he was a spy, in his address to the Shuffle Inners, at the underground auditorium in Lafayette building last Sunday, read several letters (permanently personal) which he had received from Marcus Garvey pending the negotiations between that gentleman and himself as to his price for breaking away from the N A A C P and 'Joining the treasury department' of the N U I A remarked soeve note that Marcus Garvey is the cleverest letter writer he has ever known, and that he had tried in his several letters to him, to sort to the him up, but that his familiarity with the shades and meanings of the king's own had stumped him. This is a graceful tribute to the superiority ability of Marcus Garvey from this modern Sir Rupert, who some years ago won the Ten Eyck prize with a paper in which he contended that the Haytiana were incapable of self-government and ought to be under the protection of a strong government like the United States of America. In view of this it is reasonable to suppose that Professor Pickens is sufficiently patriotic as a Negro to support a movement like the N U I A which is building for the future and trying to make Negroes the wide world over realize that they are men not monkeys, and that, in the words of the polished Terence, they are men and that nothing that relates to mankind is foreign to them? Professor Pickens comes from a State, Alabama, where the slavish feeling still inheres in some of its black denizens. At the close of the professor's illuminating speech, Mr Chandler Owen one of the most learned, erudite and scholarly Negroes in Harlem, in a few scattering remarks, adverted to the fact that those Shuffle Inn meetings MRS. TALBERT, MRS. NORMAN AND MRS. DETT APPEAR TOGETHER ON CONCERT PROGRAM By WM. ANTHONY AERY HAMPTON, Va., July 22 —Mira Florence Cole-Talbert. well-known coloratura soprano of Detroit, recently gave a concert program in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, under the auspices of the Men's Club of St Cyprian's Protestant Episcopal Church of Hampton She sang the following selections to a large and appreciative audience: "Ah! Non Credesa Mirarti" (Could I Believe) from "La Sonnambula," Bellim. "Ave Maria," Schubert "Die Folelle" (The Trout). Schubert "On Wings of Song." Mendelssohn "II Bacio" (The Kais Waltz). Arditti "Chanson Indue" (A Song of India) from "Sadka." Rimsky-Korakow. Polonaise "To Son Titania" ("I'm Fair Titania") from "Mignon," Thomas. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman of New York gave two interpretative dances—"Magnolias" from R. Nathaniel Dett's "Magnolia Suite," and Waltz, Opus 64, from Chopin—which were received with great public applauses. Mrs. Norman is now teaching aesthetic dancing in the Hampton Institute summer school. She is a sister are going to cost money, and, in a fervid burst of anxiety and eloquence lifted his soulful eyes heavens rd and asked the awakening audience, 'Who will be the first to come forward with a dollar to help defray expenses?' The responses to this appeal were not as hearty nor as generous as those of the Liberty Hall audiences and when the crowd caught the drift of the able savant a sulplat on it began to shuffle toward the exit. It is going to cost these self-appointed crushers considerable money and wind to smash the Garvey steer roller, which has been freshly oiled and is here for business. The ignorant masses, so called are not so ignorant as these exclusive, who have kept aloft from them for so many years assert. They know the difference between Negro scouts with their pride of learning and fashionable, and a Commander, Mr. Garvey is a Commander. He is courageous and hard at will he is honest. He will meet any of these cities anywhere and at any time, and we dare them to accept his chalege. If they are anxious to help some worthy Negro charity let them hire the biggest land in New York and put their best orator against Marcus Garvey to discuss the worthiness and utility of the work of the U. N. A. The ball will be crowded and Garvey will clean up. Come on gentle put your courage to the test if you dare. Be good sports or admit that you are hounding Garvey and his organization because of envy and malice, and because he has shown himself a clever organizer and a safer leader of the plain people than any of your group knows how to be. The plain people idolize Garvey because he is one of them and is doing things. What have you gentlemen done that stands out as especially helpful and beneficial to the masses? of the famous "Bob" Cole who was known far and wide as a composer and playwright. On her graduation from the Wadleigh High School in New York city, she wrote the class play, class prophecy and class song. Later she was graduated from the New York Training School for Teachers, and for a number of years has served as principal of vacation playgrounds in New York. Mrs Norman wrote the 'Creole dances for Mary Hoyt Wiborg' "Taboo," which was produced last spring at the Harris Theatre in New York. She also wrote "The Niche," which was produced by the Playera Guild of New York, of which she is a director She is a pupil of Chalfi formerly imperial ballet master at Petrograd. She has directed in several cities the dances for the spectacular pageant "Star of Ethiopia" and has studied symboile work at Columbia University under Mr and Mrs Maxwell Armfield of the Coburn Players, and at New York University under Dr. Luther Gulick and Josephine Beiderhase of the Wadleigh High School, who was her first dancing teacher. New York Writer Begins Series of Articles on Conditions in the South Arthur E King is well known to readers of the Negro World. His articles on politics, economics, finance and kindred subjects have appeared in these columns from time to time. A native of British Guana, South America, he studied economics under Prof. Stephen Leacock at McGill University, as an expert linguist, a frequent traveler and a serious student of international affairs. He has just returned from a trip to what he sweetly calls "A Texan Paradise," and has written a series of five articles on the social, political and economic conditions of the South, which will appear serially in the Negro World. By ARTHUR E. KING We left our dock at 1 o'clock on Wednesday July 19, on the good ship 'San Jacinto,' a 1902 model rebuilt and converted into an oil burner and furnished in splendid fashion. The crew's quarters seem to have received as much attention as the passengers' and are provided with showers, steel lockers and clean linen. Doubtless you know that a ship has three departments navigation, which has under its control the officers and sailors, motive, which is under the guidance of the chief engineer and keeps the machinery running and in running order commissary, directed by the chief steward, which attends to all matters of feeding and other services of passengers and crew In the first-named department the sailors are all colored men from Curacao. D W I. in charge of a boatawain from the same place. Among them-selfy they speak a jargon—a mixture of Dutch and Spanish—but answer the officers in English. In the engineer's department no colored men are represented, except we stretch a point and see our blood percolating through the Spanish gentry who have a clinch in handling our bottles, which are fired automatically. One particular fellow from Corunna, who is short and wiry, wears his mustache a la William Hohenzollern and emends me for some reason or other of a gamecock. He admires American productive methods but contends she is neither cultured nor courteous. In his own words America se produce mucho, pero aquo no hay ni culto ni cortesia. In the steward's department all the measmen cooks, pantrymen and waiters are colored the highest positions, chief cook and head waiter, being occupied respectively by a light colored West Indian and a big, black, good-natured person called Dan—Captain Dan. The chief steward is a tall efficient man, the second steward is a white-haired man, looking like a sexton. Both these officers are, of course white, as well as the two steward-cases who are homely women of indeterminate ages. We leave for later discussion a description of the 'glory hole' and its denizens. This being our first trip since remodeling we steamed to the vicinity of Scotland light and tried, tested and adjusted things for about two hours before continuing our trip Thursday and Friday were comparatively rough especially in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras. The passenger list contains about fifty first and thirteen airtie. In the first class are a doctor, an army lieutenant, a salesman or writer banging his portable Remington, and a motive crowd of middle-class Americans. If we are to judge by their magazines and newspapers. By design or accident there are no colored passengers in this section. In the airtie is a mixed crowd of white and colored. Included in this group are two colored women, two colored men, a few Jews and others. Saturday the weather became finer and on Saturday night a musicale or an imitation of one was staged, the leading spirit being a passenger to Galveston, a lady who is somewhat scrawny and who, in our humble opinion, could not convince us of her immaculate purity of blood, even if she traced her people from the Norsemen. It is scarcely necessary to mention that the fapper is in evidence—bobbed hair, cigarettes, etc. I ought to have mentioned that we sighted the Florida coast about Saturday day noon, and passed Palm Beach at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This winter resort is now deserted; still we cannot understand why it should be, except of course we lay it at the doors of those awful capitalists, whose interest lies in boosting other places at this season. Early Sunday morning we steamed into Key West, a very beautiful place containing some nice little cottages, palms and flowers. We saw for the first time since 1913 coconut and sapodilla trees, although the coconut trees are dwarfed in size and the nuts rather small. Key West is the terminus of the Florida East Coast Railway—that picturesque road built over the sea and which connects with steamers which leave here at 8 in the morning and arrive at Havana at 8 in the afternoon. There are two districts in the town where colored people live, but as our boat remains only four hours we are unable to visit them. There is a considerable number of Cubans and Spanish-speaking people here and we had a delightful talk in the language of Cervantes with a rather feeble old woman who keeps a shop. (Continued Next Week) BRILLIANT, DAZZLING SCENE AT SECOND ANNUAL COURT RECEPTION OF HIS SUPREME HIGHNESS THE POTENTATE OF THE U.N.I.A. 500 INVITED GUESTS AND ENTIRE HOUSE OF DELEGATES AND DEPUTIES TO CONVENTION IN ATTENDANCE-VAST THRONG OF VISITORS THURSDAY Evening, August 10, 1922—Under auspices the most favorable, the second Annual Court Reception given by His Supreme Highness the Potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held tonight in Liberty Hall before a very distinguished gathering of ladies and gentlemen of the race, representing all walks of life, and coming from all parts of the United States and from foreign countries, as Canada, Cuba, the West Indies, Porto Rico Panama, South and Central America and Africa. Not only was it the chief social occasion of the International Convention of the Negro People of the World (whose sessions from August 1 are scheduled to cover 21 days), but it was as well the crowning society event of the year, and manifestly was a pronounced, complete success The attendance comprised His Supreme Highness the Potentate, Hon Gabriel Johnson, Mayor of Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, His Highness the Supreme Deputy, Hon G. O. Marke; the Provisional President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Hon Marcus Garvey and all the other officials of the association, known as the High Executive Council, these constituting the members of the Court of His Supreme Highness the Potentate, the entire House of Deputies and Delegates to the Convention, with their consorts, 500 specially invited guests and more than 3,000 visitors. Brilliant Scene The scene presented by the elaborate and tasteful decorations of the vast hall with American flags and flags of the U. N. I. A. (the colors of the association, red, black and green were everywhere in evidence), an abundance of palms and ferns and flowers, a blaze of electrical illumination, Japanese lanterns and Japanese parasola, streamers and banners of many of the various branches and divisions of the organization in different parts of the world, the gorgeous, handsome uniforms of the high officials, the uniforms of the auxiliary branches, the smart, elegant gowns of the ladies (wives, daughters and sweethearts of the officials delegates, deputies and invited guests), the full dress of the men the uniformed band with their lightly polished, shining instruments, the artful arrangement of the furnishings of the throne (or platform) of His Supreme Highness the Potentate, all of the home in the tropics of an African prince in modern times—that is, created a scene of beauty, majence and splendor. More than that it was an occasion of impressive beauty, lending inspiration to all who associate with love of the Negro race who rejoice in its progress and whose faith in the greatness of its future and its unlimited possibilities of achievement through unity and cooperation of the energies and means deep-rooted and abiding. Expressed differently, it thrilled one with a patriotic fervor, and stimulated the onlooker with heightened feelings of pride of race. The ceremonies passed off with a smoothness and unaffectedness highly commendable. Though far from being a religious affair, there was a solemnity to the occasion, not unlike that witnessed at a Presidential inauguration. To those who stood by and gazed upon it all, a sense of exhilaration and of joy subconsciously stole over the heart, in beholding the magnificent, extraordinary pageant that passed before the eyes, a scene the embodiment of the culture, refinement and intellectuality of the race, as exhibited in so distinguished an assemblage of representative colored men and women from all over the world.

Those presented to His Supreme Highness represented nearly every State in the Union, all the large cities, the foreign countries, as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, the West Indies, Panama, South and Central America, and Africa. The Grand Ball Immediately the ceremonies of presentation were over, the state ball was opened. Hon. Captain C E. Gaines, Minister of Legions, making the announcement. His Supreme Highness the Potentate and Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis were the first couple to take the floor. His Highness the Supreme Deputy. Hon. G O. Marke, and Mrs. Garvey (nee Aime Jacques) followed; then Hon. Vernal J. Williams, Counselor-General, and wife; Hon. Captain C E. Gaines and Lady Vella Bundy and other members of the Court with their consorts. As the couples representing the Court danced to the strains of the delightful music supplied by the Black Star Line Band of twenty-five pieces under the direction of the Hon. William Isles, the delegates, deputies, invited guests and visitors formed a circle round about and looked on with delight. His Supreme Highness, the Potentate and Lady Davis made the most striking appearance Both danced with perfect ease and grace Hon. Captain C. E. Gaines and Lady Bundy were the next best couple. "Daddy" Gaines (as he is lovingly and familiarly called) exhibited a youthfulness and sprightfulness, despite his obese, and advanced years, that pleasingly surprised every one. Few young men many years his junior can perform in the terpsichorean art with as equal gracefulness of movement and that correctness of step, particularly as in the waits, as he. As each couple entered upon the floor they were greeted with a round of applause, but in this "Daddy" Gaines and his escort carried off the homora. When about three or four waltzes were played, the distinguished couples withdrew from the floor, whereupon the ballroom was thrown open to every one present, under the command: "On with the dance, let joy be unconfined!" His Supreme Highness the Potentate and all the members of the Court were then escorted to tables in the lower south part of the hall where a sumptuous banquet was served. The tables, four in number, and placed three lengthwise and one across, forming a right angle, provided for 150 covers, and these were filled four times before every one was served, those participating being members of the Court. the specially invited guests and the delegates and deputies and their consorts. Eagerness of Public to Witness Event Long before the Court reception began, people poured into Liberty Hall to eager to get a seat where they might have a good view of the ceremonies. Crowds gathered outside around the entrance to the building, from which was spread a canopy extending to the curb of the street, with carpet also spread on the ground from the curb to the inner door, and these crowds continued to augment throughout the evening. Those who could not get in (whatever the reason for this was) were content to peer through the low windows and get a glimpse of what they could in that way. Others were satisfied to be on the outside, strolling up and down with friends, all interested in the happenings going on within, and happy to be in close proximity to the hall, where the most notable social function ever given by the race was being held. Hall Woll Guarded Guards were placed in and about the entrance and through the interior of the hall to maintain order. Some were in uniform and some in civilian dress. They were reinforced by ample police protection on the outside. On the inside numerous ushers were distributed in every part of the building. Their duty was to seat the distinguished guests and visitors. Promptly at 8 o'clock began the arrival of the high officials of the association who drove up to the hall in limousines and automobiles. First appeared His Excellence Hon. John Sydney Do Bourg, leader of the Western Provinces of the West Indies, and the Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies. They were received by the African Logon of Honor, the Motor Corps and the Black Cross Nurses, with the Girls' and the Boys' Junior Corps bringing up the rear. These uniformed divisions stood at attention dressed in the uniforms of their respective units, and lined up from the entrance door to the centre of the hall, then extending down toward the south, forming an alley at right angles through which their Excellences passed. They were escorted to the waiting-room at the rear end of the hall, while the band played "Rule Britannia." Then at 8:15 followed the arrival and reception of His Excellency the Hon John Walker Hood Eason, leader of American Negroes. He also was escorted to the waiting-room, the band playing the while the 'Star-Bspangled Banner' Next, at 8:45, came His Supreme Highness the Potentate, Hon Gabriel Johnson, and His Highness the Supreme Deputy, Hon G O Marke. They wore the regalia and uniforms of their high office, were received by the uniformed divisions mentioned, and escorted to the waiting-room As they marched the band played the Liberian National Anthem Immediately before His Supreme Highness the Potentate and His Highness the Supreme Deputy emerged. His Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He was escorted in like manner to the waiting-room, while the band played the national anthem of the African Republic. Successing these, other distinguished officers entered, among whom were Sir John E. Bruce and Lady Bruce (who subsequently became Duchess Bruce) and were escorted to the waiting-room, the band continuing its accompaniment of music. A brief interval was then allowed in which to give every one time to make the necessary preliminary preparations for what was to follow. The high officials as they entered the building were accompanied by their wives or consorts. By this time the majority of the delegates and deputies, distinguished guests and visitors had reached the hall and were seated. All eyes were now turned to the south of the hall whence, as the clock registered 8.55, the procession began for the purpose of giving the high officials an opportunity for an inspection of the uniformed divisions. The latter had ranged themselves in one long line, from the rear end of the hall at the south to the northern end, and formed two aisles through which the high officials slowly and malefactically marched and made their inspection. Every member of these uniformed units stood "at attention" and looked as spite and span and PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THE STREET CENTER The Phyllis Wheatley Hotel and Booker Washington University of the Universal Negroes provement Association, 8-18 West 188th Street, New York City, Will Be Opened Officially on the 31st Inst.

The inspection over, the high officials returned to the waiting-room, then reformed into line and proceeded, each with me and you, to their place upon the throne of His Supreme Highness the Potentate where they were to review the military drill to be performed by the uniformed divisions whom they had just inspected. First came His Supreme Highness the Potentate with Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis bearing upon his arm next the Provisional President of Africa and President-General with Mrs Garvey, then His Highness the Supreme Deputy, then Hon Capit G E Ginnes, Minister of Legions, and Mrs Ginnes, next the Hon Rev Dr R H Tobitt, High Commissioner of British Guiana and South and Central America representing also Barbados and Dominica, B W 1), and wife then the Hon Dr J W H Eason, American leader then His Excellency Hon John Sydney De Bourg leader of Western Provinces of the West Indies, and His Excellency Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies. Hon U S Poston, Minister of Labor and Industry Hon Rev F Wilcom Ellegio and Mrs Ellegio Right Hon. Rev Father A H Maloney and wife, Assistant Acting Chaplain-General, Hon William H Ferris, M A, Assistant President-General, Hon J B Year wood First Assistant Secretary-General, Hon Rev Fred A Toote Secretary-General Hon Vernal J William Counsellor-General and wife. On the throne were also Hon O E Carter, Special Assistant to the President General. His Supreme Highness occupied the throne chair. To his right sat the Provisional President of Africa and Mrs Garvey, on his left sat His Highness the Supreme Deputy), Lady Henrietta Tenniss Diva, and Hon O E Gaines, Minister of Legions, and Mrs Gaines. A guard of honor stood directly behind His Supreme Highness, uniformed guards also stood below the throne and to the left with upraised swords. Hon F Wilcom Ellegor High Commissioner, General, and Hon S A Haynes. Regt. trai. of the Convention (the latter wearing the traditional white wig of an English barrister) acted as special present. Hon C E Gaines, Minister of Legions, was master of ceremonies, and was aided by Hon. H. Vinton Plummer, Director of Publicity. How the Ladies Were Dressed It may be interesting to mention something of the gowns worn by the distinguished ladies. Mrs. Garvey wore a rich champagne-colored satin dress, handsomely brocaded, with short skirt and satin slippers to match, white fan with green feathers. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davia, also dressed in all white, wearing a gown of white silk in the latest mode, without sleeves, white ties, and white ostrich feather fan. Both ladies made a charming appearance, particularly Mrs. Garvey, who, as a young bride of but a few weeks, was with her distinguished husband the centre of attraction. The other ladies were appropriately and handsomely gowned, becoming the occasion. His Supreme Highness the Potentate and his court having taken their seat, the uniformed divisions then marched and counter-marched, as the band played military aira. They went through their military evolutions in graceful, dignified manner, much to the entertainment and admiration of the onlookers. These divisions, under the command of Col. V. Wattley, comprised the following units: First Division, African Legion of Honor (male), 102; members of the Motor Corps (female), Miss Greene captain, 40, Black Cross Nurses, Miss J. Chase, vice-leader, 200; Boys' Juvenile, A. L. King, captain, 68; Girls' Juvenile Corps, Miss Rosalie Stephens, lieutenant, 74; Second Division, Col. L. E. Harreyan in charge, African Legion, 125; Motor Corps, 40. The soldierly bearing of these units, and their consumate marching, evoked much applause and won the admiration of the spectators. The members of the Motor Corps won the greatest favor, their marching and the precision and promptitude with which they carried out the order of their commanders being quite captivating Thon followed the regular program of the evening. First, was a selection by the band, next a chorus by the U. N I A. choir. This was followed by a solo, exquisitely rendered, entitled, "The Swiss Echo Song" (Carl Eckert), by Miss Ethel Oughton Clarke, coloratura soprano; a bass solo by Prof. Thomas R. Hall (basso cantante); soprano solo, "Delight," by Madame Marie B Houston (American song bird) Madame Ravella Hughes (concert artist) was at the piano; Arnold J. Ford, musical director. Printed Programs and Invitations The programs for the occasion were elaborately printed. On the outside cover was the following inscription: "Second Court Reception of His Supreme Highness the Potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Liberty Hall, 120 West 188th St, New York, Thursday, Aug. 10, 1922, at 8 p. m. Five hundred Guests Invited, Including the House of Deputies and Delegates." The invitations issued to the special guests and delegates and deputies were printed in silver script and read as follows: "Service of His Supreme Highness the Potentate. Mr.—— I have it in command from His Supreme Highness the Potentate to request the presence of yourself and—— at the Third Annual Court Reception at Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th street, New York, Thursday evening, Aug. 10, 1922, at 8 o'clock sharp. Respectfully, F. Wilcon Eligor. Special Secretary to His Supreme Highness the Potentate. U N I A. Immediately following the ceremony of conferring titles and honors cinematograph or moving pictures were taken of His Supreme Highness the Potentate and his court, for which purpose part of the ceremonies were re-enacted. These pictures, it is understood, will be shown in cities and cities, large cities throughout the United States and elsewhere, for the benefit of the public, and in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the great race movement it represents. Besides the reporters for "The Negro World" seated at the table for the press were writers for "The Tatler," "The New York World," "The New York Tribune," "The Associated Press," and "The Scandinavian Associated Press." The dancing and music continued, to the delight of the lovers of the terpsichorean art who were present until 2 o'clock, when "Home, Sweet Home," played by the band, was the signal for the closing of this most successful, impressive and historic social event of the Negro peoples of the world. TENTH DAY—MORNING SESSION, AUGUST 10, 1922 At the Thursday morning session, after the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountain," the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President - General, presided.

The session adjourned at 1 o'clock to reconvene at 2, when the further consideration of the subject would be taken up. AFTERNOON SESSION, AUGUST 9 1922 At 3:17 o'clock 11 President General as chairman announced the resumption of the afternoon session, which was opened in the usual way by the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer from the chair. The minutes of the morning session having been read and adopted, the convention proceeded to the business of the afternoon, the first item on the agenda being, "Discussing Plans for the Better Government of the Negro Peoples of Artox." The High Commissioner (Hon. E. Wilcoim Ellegar) led off by giving a comprehensive outline of conditions existing in Africa, a knowledge of which he had acquired from his fifteen years' residence in that country and especially on the western coast. In West Africa, he said, the British government had a policy of educating the Negroes, which fact was one of the chief influences that will tend to assist the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help the race toward solidarity West Africa. he thought, was the best field for operations at present, because there is more chance of getting in touch with the natives in that part of the country because they are more educated than in other parts of Africa. A Definite Foothold Mr. H. W. Kirby was of the opinion that to reach the Negro people of Africa for the better governmental control of themselves, the association ought to focus its attention upon some definite tribe or some definite territory to set as a base of operation. His idea was that the Universal Negro Improvement Association should call together men who are versed and trained in the Arabic language, which is the prevailing language among the natives, and have those men prepare propaganda matter which should be distributed among the natives. He further thought the association should act aside a fund for the purpose of training boys from some of the best tribes in Africa in the schools of America, England, Germany and Japan, so that they would have an opportunity of learning the modern way of doing things and go back home and teach it to their tribes. Abyssinia Rev J D Barer furnished a wealth of information regarding the government of Abyssinia, which he said was already founded and was recognized by other governments all over the world, having at its shrine British, French, Russian, Turkish, Japanese and Chinese legations. Abyssinia, be thought, was the most logical and fertile field for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, from which they could strike out to reach the natives in other parts of Africa. The name of the association is already known in Abyssinia and is favorably thought of not only by the people but also meets the approval of the Queen and Crown Prince, from whom he believed they could secure financial and moral help in furthering the plans of the organization Mr. R E. Gadshi suggested that the association dispatch missionaries speaking English and Arabic to every section of Africa to scatter Negro propaganda among the natives with a view to changing the minds of the people and thus getting them together. He also made the suggestion that the association send to every assumed government domiciled in Africa a protest against their despotic rule over the native Africans. Committee of Five Appointed At the close of the discussion the President General appointed a committee of five to report upon the matter. The gentlemen appointed were: Mr. Duse Mohammed Alon, H. E. Wilcoim Ellegor, Hon. J. D. Barber, Hon. R. L. Tobitt and Hon. H. W. Kirby The next subject for discussion was "The Arranging of Africa Into Duchies and Schools for Political and Educational Development." The President-General, in presenting the subject for discussion, said the object was to device ways and means by which we can properly educate Africa to Northern or Western civilization, since the civilization upon which they were dependent for hundreds of years from Europe had not been anything else but deceptive propaganda to rob and exploit them. As a result of European intrusion we have Africa today divided into spheres of influences under the control of European governments. We bear nothing of African Africa, but we bear of British Africa, French Africa, Belgian Africa, Spanish Africa, Italian Africa and natives are crying out for a better understanding of Northern or Western civilization. It was natural to assume that the Europeans, having assumed the attitude of conquerors, would not carry the correct kind of civilization to the Africans, but, on the contrary, they have endeavored to cajole the native Africans out of that which belongs to them from a native viewpoint. It was, therefore, the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, constituting itself as the leader of the Negro race, feeling that injustice is being done to our people in Africa, to take steps immediately to counteract this deceptive influence that northern civilization has carried to them, and it had decided the best way was to create in Africa certain spheres of influence under the control of the association, calling them duchies, dividing all of Africa into duchies and placing those duchies under the control of individuals who may be interested in that particular spot to which they may be assigned, and it would be their duty to educate that part of Af- rice to the civilization of the twentieth century and impart to it the knowledge that will benefit that community of Africa. Hon. B. Wilcolm Ellegor indorsed the sentiments of the President-General and said it behooved us as thinking people at this time to do something that would help to bring about a cementation of ideas between the Africans and those of us who find ourselves in this part of the world. He agreed with the idea of the division of Africa into social spheres of influences and thought men and women teachers should be sent out who could in a quiet way collect the Africans together and teach them and in that quiet way bring them together. But, he added, we must not forget when we get to Africa that the Africans really have a civilization of their own which we must not despise. He felt that we would be able to convert the natives of Africa, and we must go there with that intention, and when once we had gained their confidence we would find there is no better race susceptible to learning than our race in Africa. African Redemption Hon. James Smith, of New York, in speaking on the question, said he had the pleasure of living in Africa for about six years and during his time there he came into personal contact with the desires of the natives. There were ways and means by which we could reach a better understanding and lay a foundation for African redemption through this movement, but it could not be done by wasting money in sending deputations to spread propaganda at the expense of the Association. The British government in Africa, he said, was only a propaganda government. It was the native chiefs and kings that really controlled the people. It was not necessary to hold mass meetings to organize the natives, all that was needed to be done was to reach the chief and if his confidence could be gained he would appoint a certain time when the various tribes would meet, and whatever he said to them would stand. At the close of the discussion the following motion, made by Mr. R. H. Tobit, was unanimously carried. That this Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World create spheres of influence in Africa by establishing duchies in various parts of the continent for the purpose of educating the natives to a better understanding of the civilization of the western world. The President General appointed a committee to consider and report upon the name to be used in designating those who would be assigned to the various duches. The committee appointed comprised Hon. R. L. Tobit, Hon. A. D. Pettiford, Hon. A. J. Tillford, Hon. H. A. Ford and Hon Mrs. Georgianna O'Brien. EVENING SESSION On Wednesday evening Liberty Hall was packed by an enthusiastic audience, demonstrating the fact that the proceedings of the convention and the nightly program offered by the U. N. I have maintained the same interest created at the beginning. The usual procession marked the opening of the proceedings, after which the hymn "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" was reverently sung. The opening prayers were recited by Father Maloney, Assistant Chaplain-General, and the Right Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General, occupied the chair. Forming part of the musical program was a splendid anthem by the choir. This was followed by a piano solo entitled "Butterfly," by Miss Vivian Douglas, who, on a preceding occasion, had made herself popular with the audience by her effective performances on that instrument. Mr. A. C. West (Bocas del Toro) enlisted and considerably diverted the audience with what he termed a patriotic song entitled, "Garvey In the Leader in Whom We Trust." He explained to the audience that in his district in Central America this was one of the biggest hits at their meetings, and after singing the song he asked the audience to join with him in its refrain. He was at the conclusion heartily applauded and encored. The last item for the evening was a violin solo by Mr. A. J. Ford, whose merit as a musician is too well known to need any further comment except to state that he fully justified his reputation. U. N. I. A. Stands for Righteousness The chairman announced that before entering on the regular session of the convention he would ask one or two gentlemen to address the meeting, and called upon the Hon. W. W. Wallace of Michigan. Hon. W. W. Wallace of Michigan, who has already made a great reputation for himself at the convention as a speaker and deep thinker, referred to the great program of the U. N. I. A. and the A. C. L. as being so comprehensive in its nature that it reaches up to the sky; so deep in its significance that it reaches down beneath the earth, and so broad in its circumference that it reaches around the world. That program they had been able against all antagonism and criticism to carry out, and they were able to sit in that, the Third International Convention in New York city. That program stood for righteousness, and all righteousness being from God, and he was sure that Almighty God would assist them to a successful accomplishment. The Constitution of the U. N. I. A. Mr. Weston (Pittsburgh, Pa.) referred to the constitution of the association and its preamble and expressed his belief that the spirit of God had directed the hand that wrote those words even as God had directed the hands and minds of the ancient prophets and apostles and called attention to the beautiful motto of the association: "One God, one aim, one destiny." He referred to the oppression which the people of the Negro race had been suffering. He did not mean merely the oppression of white men against black men, but of black men upon black men. He spoke of the oppression of the educated upon the ignorant and of the uneducated masses upon the educated minority, and finally the oppression which is exercised by men of wealth upon their poorer brothers. He finally urged Negroes to prepare themselves by education and by every means in their power to obtain an equilibrium because if the Negroes are not able to obtain an equilibrium by concentrating upon all the necessities of life they will not be able to attain their ideals. The President-General in announcing the resumption of the business of the evening session of the convention called upon the secretary-general to read the minutes. This was done after which they were adopted. BRILLIANT SCENE AT CONV (Continued from page 8) gro leaders had kept the Negro people in the United States in ignorance for the sake of their stomachs, although he admitted that among them were a few exceptions, such as the great Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee. Referring to such leaders as bread and meat hustlers, he called attention to the fact that as far as the Negro was concerned and his political rights, there was a big joker placed in the Constitution of the country. So his advice was to facts of information possible carry out the U. N. I. A. by establishes national way in Africa. Amalgamation of Hon. Wallace of Mining around their tensions of the country. The President-General announced the subject for discussion that evening was the "Future of the Negro in America." In charging the delegates, he took it, be said, that that future meant a future of happiness, of self-satisfaction and contentment. He also suggested that they might consider the subject from the point of view of the dangers of the future. Things had been changing and had changed in America for the past three hundred years and they were to consider the past and the present in order to lay plans for the future. They were to consider that it had been declared from the house-tops that America was to be a white man's country, and such statements ought to show to Negroes the danger of their being a part of that country in the future to the dissatisfaction of their white fellow citizens. He referred to the fact that there was a disposition on the part of one set of men to live in the world to the exclusion of others, and to that and they usually adopted methods of extermination and of conquest. It was up to the Negroes sitting in convention to consider a means of attaining a permanent existence as a race of human beings. The Negro Preparing to Die Hon. William Sherrill of Ohio said he was pleased in the absence of the American leader to say a few words on the subject. The Negro in America ever since he had been freed had been preparing for the future. They had been spending ninety per cent of their time, thought and energy in establishing schools and churches, building up a spiritual and intellectual structure without a material foundation. Race problems were as old as the ages and had been solved either by extermination, amalgamation or separation. After their ammanation the Negro found himself living side by side with his former masters, who had only consented to his being freed after they had sacrificed their manhood and had been whipped to their knees. Directly after they had set about making laws to continue their exploitation and subjection of the free men. They have probably succeeded in doing that and had put the Bible into the Negro's hands, getting him to shout and pray and look way off for pearly gates and golden streets, while they had continued to run their hands into the Negro's pockets and strip him of his means. The Negro's attitude of watchful waiting by and by, you may have all the world, but give me Jesus; and preparing to die, which were exemplified into songs showed the psychology of the Negro who had been led to think of the world as a negligible factor and the world's goods as something for the other fellow. He urged upon the Negro to face the responsibilities of everyday life and to create in his mind a new psychology, bearing in mind that the best preparation to die is to make simple preparation for himself and his family here. The Hon. Wm. Ferris explained the reason why he had been led to put himself up for Congress, an illusion which fact had been made in the course of the evening's proceedings. He said that the world today is not different from what it was in the days of Rome nor in the days when Joshua lived, and of Caesar and Alexander the Great. There never had been a safe place for weak men and races since the dawn of creation. There were three things that brought respect to men in this world. They were Votes, Dollars and Guns and when they organised their race they had to do it by taking into account the accumulated force of those factors. We talk as though the Anglo-Saxon, who is supreme today, will always be supreme, but history has given a different story. The reason why the Anglo-Saxon has the advantage of the Negro in America could be illustrated by something which had recently come under his observation. While in Boston he had attended a reception and had seen four hundred of our people on the ballroom floor feeling happy, for that was all they were living for. The next day he visited the Boston Public Library and saw in the reading room sixty white men and one colored man. Those sixty white men who were exercising their brains will always be the rulers of the four hundred who were exercising their feet. The Anglo-Saxon likes the Negro in his place. His motto is, "Thus far and no further." Heretofore the Negro has been showing his colors too soon and has been letting the Caucasians know his plans and the result is he has been able to block us in every place. He concluded by saying that it rests with the race that has all the brain force, the moral force, the will force, the muscle force, and the nerve force to mobilize, to know whether he will be on top or at the bottom. The Hon. Marcus Garvey had organized the most dynamic force of black men the world had ever seen for centuries and it was left to them to get out of their chains and shackles and create such a commercial force and power that no nation would be able to stop the Negro anywhere. CORNS REMOVED DR. J. P. BAILEY REGISTERED CHIROPODIST New Orleans Foot Treasure The Infra the Heron Pharap Aud, 4188 101 W. 141st St. BRILLIANT SCENE AT CONVENTION (Continued from page 8) gro leaders had kept the Negro people in the United States in ignorance for the sake of their stomachs, although he admitted that among them were a few exceptions, such as the great Booker T. Washington, of Tuukegae. Referring to such leaders as bread and meat hustlers, he called attention to the fact that as far as the Negro was concerned and his political rights, there was a big joker placed in the Constitution of the United States. He told them that in spite of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution the Negro never was a citizen of the United States. Because, according to Bryce's American Commonwealth, "A man gains citizenship in the United States only by becoming a citizen of some particular State." That meant, if one was born or naturalized in any State, he was not a citizen of another. He thought they should not try to stir up racial hatred against the white man, and he wouldn't stand up and see the white man abused. Hon. Dr. Eason, the American leader, said he had studied the problem of the Negro in America for over thirty years, especially within the last four years, with the hope of making the Negro future brighter. If the Negro is to secure a firm footing in America upon the same terms as the other people, he could only do so by preparing himself to meet every emergency along intellectual, moral and spiritual, financial, commercial and political life. This can only be done by husbanding his strength and by organizing all of his people from the highest down to the lowest with the intense purpose of uplifting himself and his group. That he said could best be done by following the program of the great U. N. I. A and establishing for him self. A Great Central Government on the Continent of Africa It was no use discussing our present status and citizenship here. Nothing could be done until the Negro was able to match the white man dollar for dollar and dime for dime. If our people cannot compete with other men in running a peanut stand or a cool drink stand in New York or elsewhere they will not be able to compete with others in running a farm or a bank or a mine in Africa. We must learn these fundamentals here and correlate them. In conclusion, he said, "I think our future is brighter in America than ever before if we will carry out the same and objects of the U. N. I. A. as outlined in our constitution. A Grave and Dark Future Mr. Plummer of New York, after commending the honorable American leader on his excellent speech, said that Negroes did not know their past history in America, and among them he regretted to say were the leading Negroes in America. Many of them said that the United States is their home and their country; that they knew nothing about Africa, and that Africa is not their home. Those people seemed to think that if Messas. Barnum & Bailey were to transport a Zebra from Africa to America immediately it arrived here it became an American jackass. Today one sees in every metropolitan city the occupations formerly carried on by Negroes now being done by foreign white men. The future for the Negro, therefore, is very grave and very dark unless he has some direct object in view, some policy or some plan, and he thought that the U. N. I. A. under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey had given them such a plan. Labor Unions and the Negro Mr Tillford of Chicago referred to the part played by the labor unions in regard to the Negro. he stated that possibly 85 per cent. of the Negroes in America were laboring and working men performing mental service. The labor unions that were controlling jobs were established throughout the country, and were hostile to Negroes. Such institutions they were to fight. He did not claim that there was no future for the Negro, but he urged upon them to get the things they needed to develop themselves by education and industry and establish their own government on the continent of Africa. Economic, Political and Social Decadence Mr. Poston of New York said the Negro peoples of America were passing through a very peculiar ordal which he would term an economic, political and social decadence. In the study of political science he said there was a law known as the law of diminishing returns. This, he said, was applicable to the present condition of the Negro in America, owing to the fact that because of color and conditions he had been circumscribed and circumvented and forced to function in a single groove or channel. The Negro was everywhere being replaced by the white man in fields where formerly he held a monopoly. House and 5,000 Square Foot of Land, $1,300—Small Amount Down, Balance Like Rent.

N. I. A. by establishing himself in a national way in our motherland, Africa. Amalgamation of the Solution Hon. Wallace of Michigan said looking around they saw in certain sections of the country the Negro deprived of his opportunity to cast his ballot as an American citizen. In another section he is not allowed to freely express himself, in other sections further judges of the land have held that he can hold the property, but cannot live upon it. All over the country newspapers circulate antagonistic literature against Negroes from every standpoint, and in that antagonism is to be seen the plan of keeping the Negro in a mental position. Twenty-nine out of forty-eight States have demonstrated their attitude towards those Negroes who believe that amalgamation is the best solution of the problem by demeaning it a criminal offense if a white man marries a black woman and vice versa. The future of the Negro depends wholly and solely upon two things. One is the ultimate building up of a national government in Africa, and the other is to demonstrate to the white man that he intends to do something for himself and to build up his own industrial institutions. Capt. Gaines, Minister of Lagona, thought the Negro was standing today on very shallow ground, and there is only one thing in the history that can relieve the Negro of his present condition. That was to stand steadfastly to the U N I A. and follow its program. The Anglo-Baxon of this country had been training the Negro "in whitelogy" for 87 years; today he is being trained in "Negrology." He said they meant business in spite of the fact that some people regard their convention as a farce and laughing stock. That convention, he said, was going to do business and to do things that will go down in history for the benefit of their race and their country. Mr Anderson of Louisiana said that in the alleged melting pot of this great country he had failed to see the Negro. Foreigners were placed in this melting pot and came out Americans, but the Negro when put in it came out "nigger." So long as the Negro is paid a car- IMPORTANT NOTICE To All Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association All Divisions and Divisional Officers are hereby warned against paying moneys to Executive Officers, Officials or Representatives from the Parent Body on the Field.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT Economic F equality tain salary for his work and the white man paid another price there will be no such thing in this country as economic equality. So long as one job is given to the Negro and another to the white man there will be no industrial equality, and so long as the Constitution of the United States gave one thing and the Constitutions of the various States may another there could be no constitutional equality. Another point was the hatred which exists between the people of our own race because of color, texture of hair, skin. There were also organizations which were fighting to keep the Negro apart in order that certain of them might earn a livelihood; so taking all in all except for the problem of the U. N. I. A., which was profile with promise for the Negro, the future of the Negro in America was Prolife of Failure and Defeat Hon. Pettiford of Detroit called attention to the fact that in the early years of the war, whereas in the case of Negroes, was 67 per cent, the last census showed that it had decreased to 7.6 per cent. It was evident that the Negroes either through self-consciousness, disease or other pernicious things, had been allowed to gradually decrease. They had to take cognizance of it we desire the race to survive in America.

With good roads Dullt, and the siting of the Black Btar Line in actual operation. It wil be possible to develop Liberia for the good of our race in the manner pro- posed. Mr Joseph H Williams of New Bedford, Mase, said the organization Jehould ascertain exactly what Indus- rive are best auited to the needs of Libera ‘and that with this information {hand the Association can deat pro- ceed in an intelligent way to lay plan for the development of that country Liberian Port Ureed Mr J W Huggins of Raleigh, N. C. pointed out the dificulty of entering Liberia with steamshipa, saying that veasela could approach there only within five miles of the mainland de- cause of poor harbora. This presented fs great dimcuity that must be studied and overcome. He suggested appro: priating several thousand dollars, tc be raised within the next year or two for the purpose of building @ suitable port in Liberta for the docking of the steamshipa to be launched by the Black Btar Line Some of the speakers had spoken o the organization as if it had accom: plished nothing tangible during tte ex- Intence This the chair told the Con- vention was irritating.

T A had done more concrete things In ite short exintence than any other Nogro or- Kantzation hae done In the last Atty years. This defense of the Associa- tion's accomplishments evoked hearty applets. Mr O'Laughitn of Newark, NJ. spoke of opening a bank In Liberia as fone means of helping build up indus- tries and commerce there. The bank could help business men Goniring to establish various enter- prises in Liberia, and, in bis opinion, such © project would, more than any- thing else, aid In fostering the com- mercial and industrial development ot the Republic Mr J. B Button of Jersey City pointed out the urgent need of con- structing railroads In Liberia to facill- ate the transportation of ite products from the Interior t@ the seacoast. When raliroade are bullt there, men will be attractes to Liberia aa tarim- ars, merchants and tradesmen of every kind This, with the ald of re-estab- Unhing the Black Star Line, will prove ‘an Invaluable ald in the wide Aavelop- ment of that country . Mistekes Must Be Mado Mr BB. Grant of Bermuda said there should be no feeling of despond- ency because the association had not succeeded ae it hed hoped with the steamship project. or that it had lost some of the money it had collected, or that It had some debte at the pres font time.

Mr Brown of New York also sald he believed the porte of Liberia should he developed, alao ite rivers so that their power can be utilized for the running of factories. In abort, by “putting our minds and our money and our energies together” he Dallaves “much can be done to develop this sreat country for our own benefit.” * Mr. Wilegor on Topographical Liberia Hon. F Wilcom Ellegor, High Com- misstoner-General, whose experience and knowledge of Africa, Liberia in particuins. is very extended, derived from traveling through the contiuent, gave an instructive address.

The motion, however, was ruled oul uf o-der by the chair. ‘The house was about to adjourn for luncheon, when Mr Pettiford, of De- troit, Mien, catiog Ite attention to a villainous attack upon the organtza- ton, a# contained 1a an article pub- Mahed In this week's issue of the New York “News.” He concluded with a motion that @ committes be appointed to raft a resolution demanding a re- traction of the article, which was an Inault to the convention. The motion was quickly seconded, and brought on a'vtotm of debate. Some were of the opinion that thir waa the proper course to take; others agreed with the Prosi- Gent-General that It was petter to Ignore the article. To give It atten- tlon, he sald, would only be playing {nto the hands of the paper, which was merely @ “fly sheet” seeking Increased ‘salen at the expense of the convention Ho sald that if thero was anything Ubelous in the article, the matter could be turned over to the Counselor- General, for him to take such legal action aa he might deem advisable. An amendment wae then offered that this action be taken. This proved unsatls- factory, and an amendment to the amendment followed, which met the same fate. Mr Petiiford, the mover of the original motion, then aaked to withdraw his motion, suggesting that the mattor bo taken up again later on, the hour being late for adjournment.

St. Louis, Mo., one of the heroes of the East St. Louis riots of 1917, tourned through from St. Louis with party to the convention in New York city. He was held up in Anshley Ohio, while the police wired back to St. Louis to find out if the car was stolen. Crowds of whites to the number of several hundred surrounded the car. Threatening remarks were made, such as "Something must be done with these niggers they are taking the world." What do you think of niggers riding in a car with a Continental motor? and other unkind remarks. The attitude of the mob became so threatening as to scare the women of the party into hysteria. The party was delayed from 5 p.m to 13 a.m Again, in Amsterdam. N.Y. the party was stopped by the police and telegrams sent to St. Louis to find out if the car was stolen or if any of the party were figures from justice. The party was delayed three hours. Apart from the two above named towns where the party was held up in nearly every rural village where they stopped crowds of whites gathered around their car passing abusive remarks, and in some cases assuming such a threatening attitude as to scare the women of the party. As a result of the stoppages by the police in Anshley and Amsterdam M. Wheat filed a against the two above named towns for $15,000 damages each.

UNVEILS CHARTER R. T. Brown, of Brooklyn, N. Y., Delivers Soul-Stirring Address MADRE DE DIOS C R - Tuesday night July 18, will be long remembered in the annals of the Madre de Dios Division (Costa Rica) of the I N I A. when there took place in that division the unveiling of its charter No. 523 in the presence of a large and interested number of members and friends of the division Long before the opening hour the people began to gather in the little hall and when at 1:30 p.m the meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. D. N. M. Wynter, the hall was full to overflowing with those who had come from far and near to take part in as well as to enjoy the festivities of the evening. Among those who had come from far to help make the meeting a success were Mr. D. A. Jones, Jr. of the Squirre Division, Mrs. L. J. Banton lady president of the Squirre Division accompanied by that redoubtable champion of the princes of the U N I A M. R T. Brown first vice president of the Squirre Division. And those who were privileged to hear Mr. Brown speak that evening expounding the aims and objects of the U N I A M. went away more than ever convinced that indeed he was the man of the hour and that in sending him to represent the Maitre Djos and other allied divisions at the Tritil International convention of the Negro peoples of the south, he had made a wise choice. This speaker went straight to the heart of things and hung his audience with his coquence and soul-satiric appeals, caused mary who came in undecided to resolve to stand till death by the cause of Africa the U N I A and the awakened Negro Men and women stran and angered to catch the words which focuss from the speaker's lips, and towride the close of the address there was a allence which spoke deep conviction concerning the truths which the gentleman strove to impress upon them. When at the close of his master,] address the speaker fitting the gesture to the word, urged his hearers to be true be courageous, be steadfast and never turn aside from the principles of the U N I A and the cause of Africa and the Negro, a rousing cheer rent the air. The program was a long and attractive one, the choir rendering several selections, which won the applause of the assembly. The secretary of the division, Mr Alfred Johnson, who acted as choirmaster won laurels for the rendition of several pieces composed and set to music by himself. These selections were full of patriotic fire and held the audience in rapt attention. Herein was furnished a glimpse of the talent that is lying dormant in many a son of Ham awaiting the opportunity for expression . The charter was unveiled by two young girls dressed as princesses of Ethiopia. With a stateliness that is rarely witnessed in those of tender years they lifted the veil that concealed the charter from view, and then in majestic fashion presented to the audience the charter upon which the right of the division to work under the U N. I. A. resta. Thereupon the chairman and master of ceremonies, Mr. R. T. Brown, moved forward, and in acknowledging in the name of the division the charter unveiled by the young ladies, read the names of the officers inscribed thereon, and charged them to prove themselves worthy of the great cause with which they were aligned and heroes in the great fight for the uplift of the race and the redemption of the fatherland. "Henceforth for us," said the chairman, "let it be victory or death!" Mrs. L. J Banton, the lady president of the Sliquirree Division, also made a stirring appeal to her hearers to rouse from the slumber of years and prove themselves true and loyal to the cause of the U N. L. A. and the uplift of the race. She was followed by Mr. D. A. Jones Jr. who was sent as a special representative of the Sliquirree Division, who in an earnest appeal urged upon the members and officers to stand fast in their faith in the great association to which they had pledged their faith, and never turn aside from its truths and principles till victory is won. The president, Mr D N M Wynter, Mr Alfred Johnson, secretary, Mr A Winn, first vice president, Mr W King and several other officers also took the floor and appealed to the members and friends to be true to the cause of Negro freedom and advancement. A prayer, followed by the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem and the pronouncing of the benediction, brought to a close in the wee smal' hours of the morning one of the most interesting and soul-stirring meetings ever held in connection with the Madre de Dios Division No 353 We are all looking forward to the future with hope and determination, fitting ourselves for the fight in the struggle against oppression. U. N. I. A. & A. C. J. MOVEMENT FLOURISHING IN DEMERARA U. N. I. A. & A. C. J. MOVEMENT FLOURISHING IN DEMERARA What may be described as the most magnificent elaborate, artistic systematic and orderly demonstration that has ever been witnessed in this colony was staged a few days ago by the local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League, under the management of the Hon Dr R H Tobbit high commissioner of the association to British Guana and South America. The program which was well advertised was so attractive that even curiously made many of the inhabitants of the city and elsewhere expectant, and when on the dawn of the auspicious day Dame Pluvitt became busy with watering pan disappointment could be depicted on the countenances of not a few. Rain fell in torrents until within a couple hours of the scheduled time for the parade, when old King Sol' shone out of the dark clouds with beneficial splendor and drove all the gloom away with his broad smile. At about 3:15 p.m the pageant which was carefully arranged by the high commissioner, with magnificent banners emblems and mottoes floating in the breeze and led by Tatea 'Universal Brass Band moved off from the local Liberty Hall at the corner of Robb and Light streets. The order of march was as follows: Standard bearers with large hanner bearing the motto of the N U L A and A C L V viz One God One Aim, nine Destay. Band followed by the legions or fifty strong under Major Young and on whose hanner was inscribed. Forward Sons of Africa "Next came the most attractive group—the Black Cross Nurses, about thirty strong, with a beautiful hanner bearing the motto. 'We live for a purpose. The Bov Scouts and Girl Guides, eighteen strong and under Scoutmaster Cambridge followed with the motto Pro Deo pro Africa pro Justice (for God for Africa and for justice). The Georgetown Division, led by the officers of the Honorable Advisory Board and the Trustees' Board, bore their divisional banner and the motto, Ethiopia is stretching forth her hands unto God." After these came the Pomeroon Division with their banner also, and other ensigns. Members from Berthice and other remote parts were in the procession also making the pedertrigs over one thousand strong Small flags of some of the nations interpersed here and there in the ranks, chief among these being the national flag of the Negro race—the Red, Black and Green—the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. The mottoes, most of them on white backgrounds with colored letters, were unique in their significance, such as "Gave god Africa—Africa gave civilization to the world." Africa shall be redeemed." "We have buried the old Negro with his wristbone." "We have raised the new Negro with a backbone." The wheel of progress and destiny is turning." "Not by might nor by power." "We educate and uplift the masses." "We teach to live, yet bury the dead," and several others. The higher officials and some members of the association rode in carriages and brought up the rear. There were about twenty or more carriages, that of the chaplain leading the van, and that of the high commissioner bringing up the rear. Two life-sized pictures of the Hom- THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 19. 1922 Marcus Garvey, the Negro Moses and founder of the organization, mounted and decorated, were carried in the procession—one in the van and one in the rear. Through the courtesy of the Police Department four mounted policeman assisted in keeping the spectators from intruding in the ranks along the line of march, which very nearly encompassed the city, passing through the main thoroughfare, and lasting from 3 15 p. m. to 8 45 p. m. The streets were wet and heavy—the result of consecutive days of heavy rain, but, nothing daunted, the members went along and were happy, while the enthusiasm of the spectators knew no bounds. Vast throngs were seen all along the route, the most enthusiastic climbing onto the roofs of buildings and cheering as the procession passed by. Some old man and women were seen to shed tears of joy and satisfaction as they hastened to shake the hand of Dr Tobitt, who in his splendid uniform was the center of admiration and respect. On the return to Liberty Hall a vast crowd, estimated at 9,000 to 10,000 strong, gathered before the hall, which was too small to hold them. The High Commissioner seized the opportunity to address the throng. Standing in his conveyance, the best private carriage in the city and owned by M W Heece, a Negro, he clearly defined the aims of the U N I A and A C L G, giving a full share of credit to its founder and organizer, the Hon Marcus Garvey, and pointing out that there is nothing Bolshevic in the movement, which supports good government and seeks to restore some day the ancient glories of Ethiopia and Egypt which taught the Greeks and other celebrated nations of antiquity how to make laws and to govern their states. We honor the Union Jack and the Star-Spangled Banner which gave our forefathers in the British and American countries the freedom that they enjoyed, but the New Negro feels proud of the flag of our race irrespective of nationality and reverses the Red, the Black and the Green and looks towards it for a more complete freedom, educationally, morally, socially, industrially, commercially, politically and religiously, not by might nor by power, but by the spirit of Almighty God, who doeth all things well As an evidence of the non-Bolshiche tendency of the U N I A. L and as a token of approval of the local government to see that the association enjoys its rights and privileges, the doubting Thomases of the Nogra race in this colony have only to look around them and see how well their parade has been protected from intrusion by the splendid mounted men of the Police Department. Then thanking the police officers for their aid in well-chosen words and inviting those who were formerly reticent to join the movement the High Commissioner called for six cheers for the Hon Marcus Garvey and three for the members of the High Executive Council. A member called for three cheers for Dr. Tobitt, after which the Ethiopian National Anthem was lustily sung and played, followed by "The King"—Com The Tribune, Georgetown, Demerara. GREETINGS FROM THE VANCOUVER, B. C., U. N. I. A. August 2, 1920.

On July 4 the Black Cross Nurses, under the direction of their chairman, Mrs. Maud Field, gave a "Brazilian roof garden fete" in our Liberty Hall A unique program was rendered A demonstration of the semaphore and physical drill was given by Captain of Legions J Powell. The hall was artistically decorated with foliage and flowers to give the appearance of a tropical garden, many colored lanterns being strung throughout the green foliage, and over each table, where delicious refreshments were served by the different nurses, was a beautifully decorated parasol A splendid crowd was in attendance and all were highly pleased On July 26 our choir, under the direction of our choirmistress, Miss G Craig, and Mrs. E. Johnson, gave a grand musical and pageant of nations. The first part was the musicale, and great credit was given to all taking part, as operatic selections and jubilee songs were well rendered. The second part was the pageant, each character impersonated doing his or her part well, doing the characteristic dance of each country represented, as they did obeisance to the Queen of Ethiopia, who was represented so sedately by Mrs Theo Estea. These were characters representing Spain, Holland, China, Japan, Russia, Scotland, Mexico, Egypt, Hawaii and American Indians. The part that took the audience by storm was a family of three (Mr Roy Harris)—Indian chief, squaw and pappoose, the baby being only six months old and enjoyed immensely sitting in a basket on its mother's back. Our choir has been doing some excellent singing at both white and colored churches. We ask that all divide—keep in the good work and hold on, for No. 31 will be the last shingle on the "House of Garveyism." GERTRUDE CRAIG. Reporter. 1274 Granville Street. ISTHMIAN BRANCH OF THE U.N.I.A.CELEBRATES FIRST ANNIVERSARY July 18 will be long remembered as the day when the public in general was invited to celebrate the first anniversary of the lathmian Branch of the U N L A. 165 Hudson Lana. Shortly after 4 p.m. the President, Mr. C. C. Brodie, rapped the gavel and called the meeting to order with the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," and prayer, at which the Chaplain, R. A. Bowen, officiated. The hall was packed from pit to dome, also balconies and vanandas on either side, all taking in so great a function of an organization second to none. Seated on the rostrum was President Brodie, along with his able staff of officers, and on the right were Messrs. F. S. Ricketts, Edward Walcott and others whose names are too numerous to mention, and on the left was the Universal Choir of the lathmian Branch, under the management of Professor Smith. The opening address was by Sister S. Greenidge. First Lady Vice President, who took for her subject, "Advice to Mothers in the Training of Their Children." The President then called on Mr. E. Walcott for an address, in which he proved himself worthy of the occasion. He was followed by a quartette—Mrs. Wade and others. The next speaker was Mr. F. S. Ricketts, who took the house by storm with his eloquence and thundering voice. In the course of his address he said that he had been going to anniversaryes of every kind, but never had been to one to compare with that of the lathmian Branch. A selection by the orchestra followed, which put life into the celebration. Then came a baritone solo by Mr Murray and an address by Mr Kerr, who spoke on behalf of the U N L A. and the signs of the times. He also sang a song composed by him, which caused the house to applaud greatly. Then followed a selection by the choir, followed by an intermission of half an hour, during which ice cream and cake were served The President for the second time rapped the gavel, resuming activities with an address by Brother Richard B. Bruce, Second Vice President, who continued to keep the fire burning. The President then called upon Brother S J E St. Rose, the watchdog of the Association, to read the year's financial report, to which he responded, giving everyone to see and hear the results of our activities. This was followed by a solo by Mrs. Genus and a solo by Miss Applewhite, which was so excellently rendered that he had to respond to an encore Brother St Rose, chairman, Board of Trustees, was called upon for an address. He took for his subject, "Leadership," and opened up his field batteries, hitting right and left. Next was a solo from the Universal Song Book by Slater Kennedy. There were other recitations and solos too numerous to mentor, but special mention must be made of the little Misses Facy in their duet, the masterpiece recitation of Miss C Richards, which will be long remembered, also that of Messrs. Vinst and Newman and, last but not least, the dialogue by the school children. The program being a lengthy one, the President had to disappoint some of the speakers. Certainly this branch is the elite of the Republic of Panama and the only live wire of the U N I A. In Colon, as its motto is honesty of purpose, backed up by a square deal to all. The U N I A needs men like Brodie, St. Rose, Thompson, Bruce, Beat and Greenidge, men that will die for the true and just cause, men that are not fighting for self-aggrandizement, but are standing unfrankingly for the uplift of four hundred million Negroes. I am also submitting the attached financial report of our year's activities for publication, so that the world of Negroes can see what has been accomplished by the little branch that has been ordered to cause operations. After a good and well-spent evening everyone went away feeling they had been refreshed, thus bringing a joyous time to a close. The meeting was closed with the singing of the national anthem and the benediction. ALONZO LYNCH, Colon, R. P. General Secretary. SUBSCRIBERS TO PITTSBURGH DIVISION. 61.

MARKHAWTH NORD AONNUT FROM ABOVE, 112 W. 10TH ST., MIDDLE FIELD, IA. IMPRESSIONS FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE 1922 CONVENTION By G. RUPERT CHRISTIAN, Executive Secretary and Dellegate, Columbus, Ohio The Third International Convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association opened on Tuesday, August 1, 1932, with a parade that will go down in history as a brilliant, imposing and elaborate event. Thousands lined the streets and thousands marched for miles to the strains of several bands of music. The high officials in their reapplent robes of office presented a spectacle which truly reveals the ancient glory of Ethiopia. The discussions of important subjects started on Wednesday, August 2, and the volume of work done and the high intelligence displayed by those who had the privilege of speaking on the different topics clearly show that this third convention is doing more effectual work and better prepared to lay a foundation for the operation of the greatest organisation for the future than the previous conventions. Men of all walks of life who are seasoned business men and scholars are trying with each other to show their great interest in the program of the U. N. L. A. and its future prosperity. One of the things done that will give prestige to the movement and redound to the wisdom of our leader, Marcus Garvey, was the selection of five (5) men to go to the Geneva Conference to represent this organization in matters affecting the Negro race. No wiser step could be taken, and the benefits that will accrue from this step will be immense. The world will realize that our aims and objects are no dream and that our propaganda work for the last four years has played its part; but now the time has come for legislation of the highest kind and for tact and diplomacy. Another incident that impressed me was the trial of two officers of the Executive Council. The whole affair was a great credit to the organization. The attorney who presided as judge, the attorney who prosecuted and the attorney who defended, the witnesses and the jurors all covered themselves with glory in the different parts played, and I was led to say that this was just a onize Your Patronize Your Own Industries!

And now for the sacrifice to build a race. Will you not walk a little further than where you used to deal so as to patronize your own industries? Will you not make the sacrifice of going a block, two or three so as to deal with your own race enterprise, which through its success may employ you some day? A real race patron would go a mile if need be, to help his race develop. Please make up in your mind to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association employ more Negroes by patronizing these industries. Do it and let the race grow.

I am firmly convinced that the work of the U N. I A. will go on to victory. Nothing will be able to stop the great wheel of progress that has been started by the man who has the eyes of the world focused on him. This convention, after the thirty-one days are over, shall be able to present to its millions of members a program that will out the enemies of the movement to flight and will be an inspiration to those who believe in the racial uplift of the Negro and the slogan, 'Africa for the Africans.'

Gentleman discussed the U. N. I. A. from the religious viewpoint, which was highly appreciated. Mrs. M. Scott, lady president of the Michigan Division, was the next speaker. She urged the women of the race to live up to God's intention towards womankind, for she said had God intended that women should be trample on by men He would have taken the bone from under the man's foot. Had He intended they to be behind He would have taken the bone from his back, but God's infention was that the woman should be by the man's side and they should accept no inferior position.

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.

Con anticipacién a la apertura de la Convencién circulé en esta cludad una hoja suelta patrocinada por los iscariotes de la raza, decomulgando nuestra organizacién rn su honorable presidente, habiendo obtenido uy poca 6 quizas ninguna aceptacién, pues el publico sensato, especialmente el Negro amante de su libertad y de su raza, dié a estas manifestaciones la importancia que ellas merecian. Queda demostrado una vez mas con Ia actitud de los elementos concientes, el que es infitil contrarrestar el poderoso movimietivo de la Asociacién Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. No nuestros enemigos, sino los enemigos de si mismos han de convencerse en no lejano dia de la importancia de nuestro propésito y cesar de ladrar a la luna. Nuestra organizacién ha demostrado su magestuosi- dad y poder y los que Ja constituimos estamos altamente satisfechos. Mediante la direccién del Poder Supremo estamos determinados a seguir adelante hasta conquistar todos y cada uno de nuestros derechos, basados en los principios fundamentales de esta organizaci6n. El programa actualmente en discusién trae como consecuencia los mas brillantes pensamientos y recomen- daciones por el altecimiento de la raza. Durante la semana pasada se discutié el tema sobre la mejor relacién entre los elementos de nuestra raza, de la cual surgi, de parte de los delegados, informacién de gran valor en bene.icio del futuro de nuestra organizaci6n. Indubablemente es de esperarse un gran resultado de la sancién de los diferentes puntos del programa sometido a la Convencién. Los miembros de nuestra organiza- cién en general pueden asegurar el que resoluciones de suma importancia seran tomadas en consideracién por todos y cada uno de los delegados y representantes que constituyen el gran cénclave. En la sesién del segundo dia se eligié la delégacién que ha de visitar la Asamblea de la Liga de Naciones, la cual partiré con destino a Europa dentro de breves dias. Esta delegacién esta compuesta de elementos de grandes aptitudes, del seno de la Convencién, con el presentimiento de que su visita al viejo continente redundara en bene- ficios de gran trascendencia. La presidencia recomend6 al sefior J. J. Adams, de San Francisco, como interprete y secretario de la delega- cién. El sefior Adams, natural de Haiti, posee perfecta- mente el idioma francés y su grado de cultura y Inteli- gencia es una valiosa adquisicién para la delegacién, estando comprenetrado del propésito que ésta persigue. Los elementos leales asf como tambien todos los miem- bros de la organizacién son requeridos para que aporten moral y financieramente con el objeto de ayudar al trabajo de la Convencién, siendo pues ésta la hora propicia de laborar por el bien comtin de nuestra causa. Continuemos engrosando las filas de nuestra organi- zacién de dia en dia; trabajemos con entusiasmo y ahinco lurante este, para nuestra raza, glorioso mes de agosto, en pro de una union s6lida y eficlente, de cuyos resultados hemos de disfrutar en el porvenir. Esto podremos realizar en el gran contitente africano, en las antillas, en centro y sud America, en el Cénada y en los Estados Unidos. Nuestra organizacién necesita de la cooperacién moral y material de todos los elementos de nuestra raza en el universo, para poder de ese modo arribar 2 la mete de nuestras aspiraciones. Todas as Divisiones de la organizacién deberén ponerse al corriente con las obligaciones contraidas con el} Cuerpo Directivo, lo cual le posibilitaré para efectuar el gran programa que le ha sido encomendado y en cuyos hombros descansa la solidaridad de la organizaci6n y como consecuencia directa Ia felicidad de la raza en general.

Ningin contratiempo les inter- ceptd el paso hasta Ilegar a Ahly, en donde fueron detenidos por policla con el pretesto de investigar su procedencia y la propriedad del automobil en que vialaban, posesio- nindose de éste, enviando telegra- mas a San Louis pidiendo informa- cién sobre la identificacién del Sr. Wheat yeu acompafiantes. En esta poblacién tuvieron que permanecer desde las cinco de la tarde hasta la una de la mafiana, hora en que les fue devuelto el automobil y permi- tido continuar su viaje. Victimas de las mismas circun- stancias fueron nuestros viajeros en Amsterdan, en donde 1a¢ autorida- des y parte del pueblo inconciente, no conformes con haberles inter- ceptado el paso para investigar si eran 6 no fugitivos de la justicia, les insultaron con insinuaciones tales como: “que le parece, estos negros con automobil; debe ser robado.” Apesar del malestar que esto pro- dujo, todos trataron de soportar estas flaquezas e ignorancia, cuyo resultado ser4 una indemnizacién por los dafios materiales y morales ocasionados. El Sr. Wheat ha presentado de- manda por $15,000 en contra de cada una de las poblaciones antes mencionadas. Estos ha de servir de leecln a tos imorantes, quienes pa gados por el tesoro de la ciudad 6 de! estado, ponen a éstos en compri- misos.

It Is a Digger question than you seem to understand. These Socialists, time- eervers, who have been trying to in- noculate us with the doctrine of Bo- ‘olaitem, know nothing about the thing ‘they edvorate. If these men had sense, te they had vision, if they had common honesty as Negroes, they would keep as far from socialism as Michae! the Archangel keeps from the Devil (laughter); because socialism ts only another form of white control thet the white man iq gomg to fasten around the neck of the Negro peoples of the world. They tell us that sociallam will cause us to be treated with better oon- sideration than other political “Isms” which we have followed during the last Atty years in America end the last eighty years in this wastern world Men, can you Imagine « change of attitude, @ change of action from the same licn (@ voice: “Noi”) that swal- lowed your brother two days aga if you crose him today, If some conver- sion did not take place? Why, these people are asking us to accept social- {zm from the very same msn who have dean devouring us for three hundred years! Before you can accept social lam as @ cure, you have to changes the white man's soul: and that, the Negro socialists have not done yet. Evidence Against the Gociailets As proof that the Goctalist soul has not changed yet, he is the same Re- publican, the same Democrat as other white men, I will refer you to an tn- eldent that occurred not very long ago tn one of the New York dance halls, where a misguided Negro by the name of Claude McCabe wag urged by @ Socialist editor to attend « dance, say ing that he would be trested by white Socialists better than by white Re-| udlicans; this was an intuoement to {hich to become @ member of the octal fet Party.

One person was the former President of Manassas Institnte tn Virginia, who ls now located in Cinetnnatt; two prom- inent Negro lawyers in New York: there wea Mr Allen, the reperter of the “Home News,” and there ware 0 number of young students from Cobim- bia Unniversity. These wil give you an Idea of some of the people who coa- stituted the audience thet discussed this program this afternoon, Mr. Allen opened the discussion tn the most impartial way. He dis cussed it a» well as ® perecn not con- nected with this organisation could have discussed 1. He made, of coures, a few mistakes which I was permitted to correct! but the thing that impressed me tn that andlence was this: There were (I judge this from those who epoke) those who were on the oppoai- tion aide and there was no necessity for me or my brothur—who was present —to say one word in defense of this organization, becanse out of seven per= sons that spoke five of them spoke in- tolllgently in the defense ef the pro- ‘gram of the Universal Negro Imprtve- ‘ment Association (Applanse).

Each and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If you are a race patriot, if you are desirous of seeing your race liberated, if you are desirous of seeing Africa free from oppression, if you are desirous of building up a great Negro race, you will send in your five dollars or more immediately to the "African Redemption Fund." Send postal money order, money mail order, check or American currency in registered cover, made out to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All remittances must be made out to the association and not to individuals.

The young men of the race would do well by endearcing to imitate this promising aspirant to fame. The Hon D McHolder, executive secretary of the Cleveland (Ohio) Division, was next introduced, and took for his subject improvement. This young man is making rapid strides towards the topmost round of the ladder of eloquence. The last speaker was the Hon B B Fearlough, field secretary, whose subject was "Courage."

Then Mr. Campbell made an address which lasted twenty-five minutes on the history of Africa and the cause of this association. The next speaker was Fiornel Domas, our first vice-president.

Anderson 4624 Result of Agitation Carried On in Negro World by Local Islanders HOLSTEIN PLAYS JUDAS ISCARIOT Islanders Hope That Admiral Kittelle's Successor Be More Humane Administrator As a result of the agitation started in the Negro World by Casper Holstein and the Virgin Islands Societies of New York, Admiral Kittelle, Governor of the Virgin Islands, has been recalled, and, as this goes to press, his successor, H. H Hough, will be on his way to the Islands Asked for an opinion on the new administration, Mr Holstein replied. We over here have reason to be glad. But in reality we never contended that the personality of any particular governor was the thing that mattered most. It is mainly the method of government against which those on this side as well as those at home lie up their voices. Yet what has happened may serve to suggest to the tyrants and traitors that we are not entirely impatient on this side. Mr Chahert, the editor of the Judas Journal is still foaming at the mouth and continues to pester us with bundles of his two by four sheet, which find their way into the waste basket, and with pensive orders of protest which he wants printed on this side. At the same time he continues his senseless charge that the Negro World articles are written in St Croix, which is too silly a charge to even require an answer. The reason for the charge, however is obvious. Having failed to affect the standing of Mr D Hamilton Jackson with the black people of St Croix he hopes by this charge to stir up the prejudice of those carpet-baggers who would like to trample on the rights of the people and thereby do Jackson an injury A Tippot Tiberius "In the Judas Journal he makes much noise—and says nothing, as usual. In a recent issue he declares that we want to remove the input Tiberius and the Emperor Jones. Well, why shouldn't we? Their present course of conduct is decidedly a detriment to the community. They may, of course he gosends to Chabert, and in that case it is natural that he should want to bug them to his manly bosom as long as possible. But we have yet to learn that the Virgin Islands exist for Chabert and Grandly. We venture to think that they exist for the thousands of people who constitute the great majority of the people there. "And when we come down to brass tacks, why is Chabert sure that any judges in the islands would look upon their leaving the islands as a maf- fortune? In the recent discussion over a salary increase for the judges and others), did not one of them make it clear that if he couldn't be assured of a salary larger than that which he could earn on the mainland he would shake the Cruzan dust from off his feet and he himself home? And is not Police Magistrate Payne a foreigner? Wouldn't he like to return home some time? And, if not, why not? In any case the retirement of an appointed judge into a well-earned ob- scurity is not in itself a public alam- ity. The Governor has been recalled Note that. And if the next to be recalled is a judge, what of it? The President and the Congress of the United States as well as American public opinion, are now becoming convergent with the deplorable conditions which obtain in the islands. We see to that. And perhaps, that is the very thing which Chabert and his masters fear. As the Governor himself said, Truth will always bear the full light of day without finching, while evil loves the dark. Why, then, do certain people in the islands grow hysterical over the prospect of pitiless publicity from this side? Because so long as their acts are kept in the comparative darkness of a little colony, they have nothing to fear from the people over whom they can exercise the power of life and death; but when the eyes of their countrymen at home are focused on these acts, they will be compelled to face the music—from this idiom. Which is more than they had bargained for. That is the reason why we who are over here are denounced as mischievous meddlers when we be to the aid of our brow-beaten brethren the moral and political forces of the larger American world. You may say to your editor that the black people not only of St Croix but of St Thomas also might cheered and encouraged to know that we on the mainland have entered the fight on their behalf. For they know what that means to them and to their cause. "The situation in St Croix is a duplicate on a small scale of the situation in the larger world where white tyrants subsidise the Negro traitors to do their dirty work." HON. MARCUS GARVEY FLAYS HIS CRITICS HON. MARCUS GARVEY FLAYS HIS CRITICS (Continued from page 11) opprosized on every side, and then witness the struggles that we are making to get out from under the hand of the oppressor, and then, on the other hand, we have to face within our own ranks those things that are trying to destroy and hamper us in the things we are attempting to do for the 400,000,000 Negroes, surely the expression comes to us: "Endow us, Lord, with faith and grace And courage to endure The wrongs we suffer here apace And bless us evermore." Then, again, as we look around upon these conditions and see our people oppressed through the North and South, through the East and West, see them oppressed on Africa shores, see them deprived of their rightful wages in the West Indies, see them hung and burnt in the United States of America, and deprived of living even upon the property that they own because an alien race says they shall not live there—deprived of these things because their face is black surely the expression comes back to us and we are compelled to cry out Endow us Lord with faith and grace And courage to endure The wrongs we suffer here space. And blues we evermere We have been fighting this battle earnestly and hard out in the fields, endeavoring to enlighten our people concerning the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and if I were to speak at length tonight I would speak on that topic one time. Am I the Detainer. When we realize that the God of Heaven the great Jehovah this great spirit, this pernissification of goodness, this great immortal Who has given to mankind dominion over the world and said to him. Go forth and rule the beasts of the forests the fish of the sea and all the world is yours goye and possess it that He has told the races of the world to go out and live together in peace and enjoy this world that He has placed here for our good and when mankind in the effort to enjoy those things that God Almighty has created for him to enjoy is prevented from enjoying that part of the world that belongs by nature to him—that part of the world that He has placed for him to rise to the accomplishments of other people and then people within his own ranks to seek for him from rising to the highest enjoyment of the privileges that God has given to him truly we are compelled to cry out Endow us, Lord with faith and grace And courage to endure. When we look around again and see all the nations of the world endearing to strive to reach to the highest points of accomplishment, that God intended when he told the black peoples of the world to go forth and use the talents you have and exercise them to your advantage and for the improvement of yourselves and then your own race gets together with those forces who seek to present us from accomplishing things for themselves, the expression comes back to us more forcefully than ever Endow us, Lord, with faith and grace And courage to endure. The wrongs we suffer here space. And bless us evermore. Our hearts cease to beat within us and our blood boils when we know that these men who are standing out as the world leaders of our face instead of endowing to bring together the broken pieces they are endowing to separate us by antagonizing the greatest movement that has been given to the Negroes since they have been scat- tered over the world, endowing to bring them into cooperation for their uplift development and advance So, we say tonight, we are proud of the privilege of standing before this audience in this great hall of the advocates of freedom and we are indeed pleased to see that out of this convention there is excited a spirit so different from other conventions that have been held in the interest of the Negro peoples of the world. If there is one thing that this Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing it is showing a spirit of manhood within this race of ours. We talk about our Dver Anti Lunching Bill, we can go to Congress and petition all we please but until you get the proper spirit of marshood built up in this race of ours we will never stop lynching or anything else. But the moment we get our men standing together all over the world, shoulder to shoulder in the interests of democracy for the black man as well as for the white man, lynching and all other kinds of oppression will stop as far as the black man is concerned What the U. N. I. A. Has Done If the Universal Negro Improvement Association stopped right here today it would have done the greatest thing that any organization brought into existence has done. It would have enabled the black man in the South, the black man in the North the black man in the West Indies and the black man in Africa and everywhere to realize that we are of one common stock and that our cause is universal and that if we would remedy the disease from which we are suffering we must universally come together and provide a universal remedy Some of our people as we meet them out on the field, and probably you meet them here in New York say they have not lost anything in Africa. We ask them—if you have not lost anything in Africa, where did you lose it anyhow? All of your nationality your racial consciousness, your racial pride, your racial love was lost somewhere or other. If you did not lose it in Africa, where did you lose it For 500 years the white man has been persecuting this black race. The Danes, the Swedes, the English, the French, the Portuguese the Germans and all of the nations of the world have had a hand in oppressing this race of ours, of depriving it of the rights and privileges that belong to it as part of God's creation. Some day a reckoning is coming it is coming, coming. coming We can look down the line we can see it rising upon the horizon. Now is your time to get ready, arm your forces, secure your place, co-operate in your work and you will be ready for the time when it comes to hold your place among the rest of the nations of the world." (Applause.) HON. A. J. FOWLER SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. A. J.

I feel I have been done the greatest honor that could have been done to me in being asked to speak to the thousands of people who I see before me who are interested in the welfare of our race thousands of men and women who are determined that our race shall enjoy the same rights and privileges of any other race under God's sun. Since I came into this hall for the first time two weeks ago I have learned to love every nail in this building I love every brick in this building because they represent the highest ideals. Negroes ever looked up to. The highest and noblest ideal Negroes ever looked up to was to liberate themselves from this slavery that is greater than the previous slavery we were in—the great idea. I stand out for the deemption of Africa and the establishment of a government of our own A man asked me the other day why is it that you folk love Hon Marcuss Garvey so much? I said, I will tell you if you had the savings of your lifetime in your purse and was going down the street and dropped your purse and lost all those savings and someone came along and found them and was good enough to bring them to you would you not love him? He said yes. Well I said Hon Marcuss Garvey has brought back to the Negro that thing that he had lost his manhood, he has restored it to him and said you are as good as any other man stand up like any other man in the world. Ask me about Hon Marcus Garvey and I will show the works he has done. He has caused five million people to come together and determine that Africa, our Motherland shall be redeemed. He has caused the Negro to say — I shall have a government for myself that shall speak for me and like the Japanese and like the Chinese and like the Mexican that government will present any man from lynching me any more." Hon Marcus Garvey has restored these things to the Negro—restored his manhood, showing him how to stand up like a man. He has given to him that great cradle of Liberty I will tell you my friends, as little as you think about it 50 or 75 or 100 years from today this place will be held sacred in the memory of every boy and girl of Negro extraction all over the world. And I say let us be determined to stand up like men, let us be determined to fight for our rights let us be determined in our hearts that our racial consciousness must be restored for when it is restored we will become different men. A man dreamt one night he died and went to Heaven While he was there walking about the streets he saw over on one side a great crowd of red-faced men and he asked the guide who are those men. He answered those are Englishmen. He saw another crowd of the same hue but with less color he said who are those men and WE HAVE IT H - A PRAUSE AN The most up-to-date Ice Cream cream is of the very best quality.

JAMAICA, N Y PRINTING AND PUBLI PRINTING OF EVE For the Public and THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IM WHENEVER YOU HAVE PRI the guide answered, they are Frenchmen. He saw another crowd of men rushing around and he said, who are those men, and the guide said those are Japanese. Then he saw another bunch of darker men going around not quite off and at the guide said they were Mexicans, then he saw a great big bunch of black men over there just sound salen. He asked, "Why are these men?" and the guide said, "They are Negroes. He said to the guide, Wake them up and the guide said, 'No. No. Do not wake them up for they will raise the devil.' I say to Marcus Garvey Wake them up until you have aroused the awakened consciousness in them until they have established themselves on a solid foundation and shall command the respect of every man in the world wake them up until Negro men shall not be afraid for Negro womanhood, wake them up until African redemption has come and the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green shall wave on the heads of Africa. (Applause.) Hon E N Morales, High Commissioner of Cuba, was the next speaker introduced and spoke of the successful work which the organization was doing in Cuba. He brought greetings, he said from 40 divisions scattered over that republic where he said even the governors are standing on the platform of the U N I L A and claiming to have Negro blood in their veins. He told of instances showing the influence which the association wielded with the police authorities causing them, on his representation to release from prison persons who were either wrongfully held or held for very technical offenses. The people of Cuba Mr Morales declared are determined to stick to the U N I L A and there is nothing that will under them march onward because they have been awakened to the realization of their racial status and have decided once and for all that there is no salvation for them save in the program of the U N I L A, and having that much faith in it they have declared that whatsoever Toussaint I. Ouverture has done for Hayati, what Washington did for America. Antonio Maceo did for Cuba, 10 harvey can do for Africa. In coln son he admonished his hearers to keep the colors of the Red Black and green aloft so that they will not trail in the dust of disgrace and follow steadfastly until we shall have declared the red emption of Africa. PARALLELS According to the New York Sun Lloyd George is a menace. Up here in our own "belt" the Amsterdam News, in a shrill voice, is telling the multiplicity of readers that Mara Garvey must go. So there you are Garvey is the Lloyd George of the black race. Like Lloyd George we agree that some day hell have to go. HERE FOR YOU!
